Drapsa: The Vedic Cycle of Eclipses by R. Shama Sastry (1868–1944) explores astronomical references in the Vedas, particularly the significance of eclipses. The book presents “Drapsa” as a key concept to interpret celestial events, suggesting that ancient Indians possessed advanced astronomical knowledge. Shama Sastry, famed for translating Arthashastra, uses this work to decode hidden scientific insights in Vedic texts. His research bridges Vedic literature and astronomy, contributing significantly to the understanding of ancient Indian cosmology and intellectual traditions.
