I was wondering if there is a critical edition of the /Sūrya-siddhānta/.
I could not find one. However, there is something very close to one,
although it is not called a critical edition. It is Kripa Shankar
Shukla's edition, /The Sūrya-siddhānta with the Commentary of
Paramesvara/. Lucknow University: Department of Mathematics and
Astronomy, 1957. For the text of the /Sūrya-siddhānta/, he gives full
variant readings from manuscripts of the text as commented on by
Mallikārjuna Sūri (1178 CE), Yallaya (1472 CE), and Rāmakṛṣṇa Ārādhya
(1472 CE), besides from the printed edition of Raṅganātha's commentary
edited by Jīvānanda Vidyāsāgara. He says that he also consulted the
commentaries by Bhūdhara (1572 CE) and Tamma Yajvā (1599 CE) for
deciding between certain readings. Of course, the text is based on the
commentary by Parameśvara (1432 CE), which predates the commonly used
commentary by Raṅganātha (1603 CE) by nearly two centuries. When he has
chosen a reading different from Parameśvara's, he cites Parameśvara's
reading as mū. pustake, for mūla-pustake.
I did not find a digital copy of Shukla's edition online, but I have
scanned the photocopy I made of it. Happy to send it to anyone who wants
it. Perhaps someone who knows how can upload it to the web.
