The diameters of the Sun, Moon and Earth’s shadow-cone are important in the computation of lunar and solar eclipses. This paper discusses the procedures for computing the diameters of the Sun, Moon and Earth’s shadow-cone according to the Makarandasāriṇῑ and the Gaṇakānanda texts. The results are compared with those of the basic siddhādntic text, the Sūryasiddhānta, and with the popular astronomical handbook, the Grahalāghava of Gaṇeśa Daivajña (CE 1520). A number of illustrative examples are provided, along with possible explanations.
