Records of sightings of comets from the literature

In pursuit of observational records of comets we search Rajatarangini, a chronicle from Kashmir, which has a wealth of records on natural phenomenon like earthquakes and famine. The study reveals records of sightings of comets and we identify them based on description and with the help of associated dates and eclipse records. We find that there are records of a pair of eclipses and at least two comets apart from the apparitions of Comet Halley in 1470 and 1531 CE.
