Indian astronomical texts have records of lunar astronomy since the Puranic age. In the Vednga Jyotia (1350 B CE), the algorithm for computing eclipses is not found. This phenomenon was interpreted in the Siddhntic texts as the occurrence of Vyatipati Yoga. This paper attempts to explain the computing and observational method found in astronomical texts of Siddhntic period.
