The Essence of Tajika Astrology

It should be understood that the calculation has arrived at an equal result. For example: In the Vikram Samvat year 1592 The traditional Hindu calendar era starting in 57 BCE and the Shaka era 1457 The era starting in 78 CE, commonly used by astronomers, during the month of Jyeshtha in the bright fortnight, on the 5th lunar day (tithi) for 35 ghatis A unit of time equal to 24 minutes and then on the 6th, on Friday, under the lunar mansion (nakshatra) of Punarvasu, at a time of 53 ghatis past sunrise—this was the birth of my teacher, the Great Teacher (Mahopadhyaya) Shri Harsharatnamani. Based on the text Karanakutuhala A famous astronomical treatise by Bhaskara II written in 1183 CE, the elapsed years were 353, the intercalary months leap months were 130, the total months were 4356, the omitted days (avama) were 2055, and the total count of days (ahargana) at sunrise was 128,650. The position of the Sun at the time of birth was 1 sign, 5 degrees, 26 minutes, and 46 seconds.

Now, the calculation for the solar return (Varshaphala):
From the desired Shaka year 1516, the birth Shaka year 1457 is subtracted; the remainder is 59 elapsed years. These are placed in four positions: 59, 59, 59, 59. These are multiplied respectively by 375, 15, 31, and 30. When divided by 60 and placed one above the other, the three-fold result obtained is 21,550 days, 15 ghatis, 58 minutes, and 30 seconds. To this, the birth day-count, ghatis, and seconds (128,650 days and 53 ghatis) are added. Thus, the day-count for the commencement of the 60th year is 150,191 days, 8 ghatis, and 58 minutes. || 3 ||

Now, the calculation of the day-count by another method: As stated in the verse "Multiply by 292,207...", this is added to the day-count and time units arising from the moment of birth. The rest is clear. For example: the 59 elapsed years multiplied by 292,207 results in 17,240,213. Divided by 800, the three-fold result is 21,550 days, 15 ghatis, and 58 minutes. This is added to the birth day-count and time units (128,650 days, 53 ghatis, 0 seconds). The result is 150,191 days, 8 ghatis, and 58 minutes, which is the day-count for the beginning of the year. || 5 ||
