The determination of the phase of the Moon is a very important task. Almost every textbook on Indian astronomy has a chapter called śṛngonnati , which means the elevation of its cusps. Here we explain the calculation of the elevation of the cusps of the Moon with examples provided in the Brahmatulya Udāharaṇam , complete with parilekhana (drawings). We compare the elevation as determined from software Occult4.5.10.0 for the relevant dates. We also provide drawings of examples taken from other texts, like the Karaṇa Kutūhala and Grahalāghava
