Candravākyās are a collection of numbers, arranged in the form of a list, related to the motion of the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. These numbers are couched in the katapayadi system of representation of numbers and so apparently appear like a list of words, or phrases or short sentences written in Sanskrit and hence the terminology Candravākyās. In Sanskrit, Candra is the Moon and vākya means a sentence. The term Candravākyās could thus be translated as Moon-sentences.
