Among the astronomical tables belonging to different schools of astronomy (pakșas), Makarandasāriṇī (MKS) is the prominent and most popular text. This article highlights the important aspects of MKS like making of almanacs (Pañcāṅga), finding the equation of centre, equation of conjunction, moments of solar ingress into zodiacal signs and 27 lunar mansions (nakṣatra), and so on. A detailed study of the work done on MKS and further scope of research are also discussed.
