It shows that vedic indians know about subtle astronomical stuff like precesions,patterns of eclipses,moon phases.
From the book:"it was pointed out that Asvins represent the planets Venus and Mercury.It was mentioned that once this is recognised,several otherwise inexplicable passages become perfectly meaningful astronomically.The RG vedic statement that Asvins circle the sun ,shows that a heliocentric theory,at least as far as these planets are concerned....was further pointed out that the allusion in another rg vedic hymn(RV 3.54) to stars being at diferent distances...can be infered by observing anual paralax..."
The author ,in introduction,begin whit the theory that indians borowed astronomy from the greeks(as he first belives) but after he studied the vedic books reach the conclusion that vedic indians have advanced astronomical knowledge.
