In the present paper we analyze the procedure for the computation of the sidereal solar ingress according to the popular Indian astronomical table, the Makarandasāriņī. The results are compared with those obtained from the basic treatise Sūryasiddhānta, from the Vākya and the Gaṇakānanda, and also from those based on modern computations. We have also discussed the varying durations of the solar months and the solar ingress to the twenty-seven nakşatras (zodiacal asterisms). A number of illustrative examples are also provided.
