First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The Brahmasphutasiddhanta was partially translated into English by Henry Thomas Colebrooke in 1817, but his work only covered the mathematical chapters (12 and 18). The 1966 edition edited by Ram Swarup Sharma (and later Satya Prakash in 1968) represents the first complete English translation of the entire work, including the astronomical chapters found in Volume 2. While the 1817 date in the prompt likely refers to Colebrooke's partial translation, the specific title and volume provided match the 1966 complete edition.

About This Book
astronomymathematics
Step into the mind of Brahmagupta, the 7th-century genius who formalized zero and described gravity long before the Western Renaissance. This volume is a masterful 'correction' of ancient astronomical doctrines, blending rigorous spherical trigonometry with a profound cosmological vision that places the Earth at the center of a clockwork universe.
