Alberuni says that Lata was the author of this work. According to the introductory verses Surya, the sub-god, revealed it to Asura Maya in the city of Romaka.It was in 1860 C.E. that Reverend E. Burgess published his famous English translation of the Surya Siddhanta in the Journal of the American Oriental Society.
