An examination of 'Atri's Eclipse' as described in the Rig Veda
The earliest written reference in Indian astronomy to a total solar eclipse
is in the Rig Veda where Rishi Atri is said to have demolished the asura
Swarbhanu to liberate the Sun from a total solar eclipse. The Rig Veda
describes the occurrence of the eclipse, how the Sun suddenly disappeared in
the daytime under the spell of the Asura. The people and gods were scared but
the Great Sage Atri saved the Sun and restored his full glory. While discussing
the eclipse, Tilak refers to the eclipse as having occurred when the Vernal
Equinox was in Orion and three days before the Autumnal Equinox. Based on these
data, we identify Atris eclipse as the one that occurred on 22 October 4202 BC
or on 19 October 3811 BC.
