In *Panchasiddhantika*-1/3 1 by Varahamihira, one of the navaratnas (nine gems) of Vikramaditya, the Surya Siddhanta was designated as the “Saura” Siddhanta, and in *Panchasiddhantika*-1/4 2 it was called the “Savitra” Siddhanta.

Then, from *diksha* comes *dakshina* (sacrificial fee/honorarium), meaning prestige through wealth, prosperity, and the like is attained. Here, receiving *dakshina* implies giving *dakshina*,

But prior to that, to establish their claim over the *Amrita Kalasha*, between the *devas* and *danavas*, 12 d
