This is the diagram of Manda Kriya, Reduction to the Heliocentric Coordinate System, given by the equation R e Sin M, where e is eccentricity, R is the Radius of the Circle, M is the Anomaly. The Manda Anomaly is found out by subtracting Aphelion, Mandoccha from the Mean Longitude. Mean Longitude - Aphelion = Manda Anomaly. R = 360/ 2 Pi or 180/Pi or 57.3*60*60 = 206265 seconds or Vikalas. This amount thus got is added to the mean longitude if ML > 180 and deducted if ML < 180. The Kerala astronomers predate their Western counterparts, particularly Kepler and Laplace by centuries.
