A graduate of Lancelot Wilkinson's school in Sehore, Sastri from there went to Benares Sanskrit College.
He translated the Siddhanta Siromani, (a treatise on Hindu astronomy written in the twelfth century by Bhaskaracharya) and published it in Benares in 1891. With Lancelot Wilkinson, Sastri wrote The Surya Siddhanta, or an Ancient System of Hindu Astronomy.
