Sara Sangraha Ganitamu

Chayaganithamu translates to “mathematics of shadows.” In this sense, it possibly refers to trigonometry, since early trigonometric calculations were derived from the geometry of shadows. The context of the text needs to be determined. Most likely it was pedagogical. It is likely a book/chapter of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu

The name suggests that the manuscript deals with mathematical practices. It may be related to Sara Sangraha Ganitamu. May also be an incomplete copy of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu, particularly the chapter book/called Trirashikamu which deals with rule of three. These needs to be ascertained through closer examination.

Likely a copy of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu by Pavuluru Mallana. We have three other manuscripts of the same title in our collection. The text is considered to be a adaptation of Gaṇitasārasan̄graha by Mahaviracharya into Telegu by Pavaluru Mallana. The text also describes the system of weights, measures, and coinage used in Andhra in that era. The manuscript needs to be closely examined.

An edited volume of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu by Pavaluru Mallana. Edited by Veturi Prabhakara Sastri as part of Sri Venkatesvara Library's oriental series. The edited volume is incomplete as the editor passed away before completion. The text is considered to be a adaptation of Gaṇitasārasan̄graha by Mahaviracharya into Telegu by Pavaluru Mallana by some scholars. However, P. V Ramanujaswami in the preface to the edited volume notes that some of the problems and chapters in Mallana's work has no parallels in Gaṇitasārasan̄graha. The extent of Mallana's original contributions is yet to be studied in detail. The chapters/books of the text are named as follows, Parikarmaganitamu, Bhinnaganitamu, Prakr̥inatiganitamu, Trairāśikagāṇitamu, Miśrāgaṇitamu, Sūtraganitamu, Kṣetraganitamu, Suvarṇaganitamu, Khātaganitamu, Chāyāgaṇitamu. A complete reconstruction of Mallana's work either as an edited volume or otherwise is not available as of yet to our knowledge.

Likely a copy of Sara sangraha Ganitamu. Sara sangraha Ganitamu is a Telugu mathematical treatise, commonly identified as Pavuluri Ganitamu, and regarded as an adaptation of Mahāvīrācārya’s Gaṇitasārasan̄graha into Telugu by Pavaluru Mallana. It is considered an important early scientific text in Telugu and some scholars refer to it as one of the earliest translations of a mathematical work into a regional language. Our collection also holds multiple paper copies of this text.
