'''''Sphuṭacandrāpti''''' (''Computation of True Moon'') is a treatise in [[Sanskrit]] composed by the fourteenth-century CE [[Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics|Kerala astronomer-mathematician]] [[Sangamagrama Madhava]]. The treatise enunciates a method for the computation of the position of the moon at intervals of 40 minutes each throughout the day. This is one of only two works of Madhava that have survived to modern times, the other one being ''[[Venvaroha|Veṇvāroha]]''. However, both ''Sphuṭacandrāpti'' and ''Veṇvāroha'' have more or less the same contents, that of the latter being apparently a more refined version of that of the former.<ref name=":0">{{cite book |first=Sangamagrama |last=Madhava |translator=K.
