The basis of this research is the stanza XLIV of the inscription carved on the stele
discovered in the fourth enclosure’s gopura of the Banteay Srei temple. We are able
to demonstrate the stanza provides the houses-
Notice
The Indians used apsides lines which were practically fixed with respect to the star used as degree zero (usually zeta Piscium) but the apsides lines were, of course, (due to precession) shifting with respect to the vernal equinox . As our current web page diagrams were drawn from ecliptic longitudes calculated from the vernal equinox (the only method used nowadays), we should have included the precession of the apsides from 499 CE (epoch of reference of Indian calculations) to 967 CE. Unfortunately, we did not include the precessional shift in the current web pages. The current diagrams will need to be corrected .
