Let's have a look on our seers' approach on the planetary motion..................
Have a look on the slokha (from Aryabhateeyam-kalakriyapada-3.17(499 AD) ) and its translation given below......................
The mean planets move on their orbits and the true planets in eccentric circles. All the planets whether moving on their orbits or in eccentric circles move with their own motion, anti-clockwise from their apogees and clock-wise from their perigees.
[Aryabhata stated this law in the 5th century AD, much before the first law of planetary motion given by Johannes Keppler in 17th century AD.]
