Acyuta Piṣāraṭi was a Sanskrit grammarian, astrologer, astronomer and mathematician from Kerala in southern India, born around 1550 at Thrikkandiyur and dying in 1621. He studied under Jyeṣṭhadeva and belonged to the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama. He is credited with a technique for the reduction of the ecliptic, the correction that brings the Moon's true longitude in its own orbit onto the ecliptic, and he wrote computational works on eclipses and planetary positions, among them Sphuṭanirṇaya, Karaṇottama of 1593 and Uparāgakriyākrama. He also wrote an introduction to Sanskrit grammar and is remembered as the teacher of the poet Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri.
