COLONIAL JINDE
A
Jai Singh was above everything a great astronomer. He erected
observatories with accurate and advanced instruments, some of them of
his own invention, at Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi, and Mathura. His
astronomical observations were remarkably accurate. He drew up a set
of tables, entitled Zij Muhammadshahi, to enable people to make
astronomical observations. He had Euclid’s “Elements of Geometry”
translated into Sanskrit as also several works on trignometry, and
Napier’s work on the construction and use of logarithms.
