for planet in planets: # Vakya uses a different set of constants than modern astronomy mean_longitude = get_vakya_mean_longitude(planet, jdn) # Apply Vakya correction equations (Manda Sphuta) true_longitude = apply_vakya_corrections(planet, mean_longitude) # Apply Vakya Ayanamsa nirayana_lon = true_longitude - get_vakya_ayanamsa(jdn) positions[planet] = nirayana_lon % 360 The Vakya system dates back to the (over
