The internal consistency of astronomical dates with the text of Mahabharta was ensured.
Astronomical references from Sabha parva, VanaParva, Udyog Parva, BhismaParva, Shalya Parva, Shanti Parva, and MausalParva have been dated sequentially by making use of Planetarium software (Fogware).
All translations were redone with the help of Sanskrit scholars and referring to dictionaries as some of the traditional translations were found to be not fully correct. Only those which were found in Critical Edition as well were identified for sequential dating. For arriving at these dates, following approach & methodology were adopted – More than one lakh slokas contained in nine volumes of Mahabharat (Parimal Publications) were scrutinized and astronomical references were extracted sequentially. The astronomical references of Mahabharat pertain to the sky views observed sequentially between 3153 BCE and 3102 BCE. The astronomical references of Rigveda could be observed in the sky between 7000 BCE and 5000 BCE, whereas those of Ramayan could be observed sequentially around 5100 BCE.
