Introduction

...had to be undertaken. Therefore, to remove this difficulty, this section has been provided.

In this, the knowledge regarding the planets' mutual natural Naisargika and temporary Tatkalika relationships, the refined "great-friendship" Adhi-mitra and similar states, the lords of the zodiac signs, and the various divisional charts—namely the Hora one-half division, Drekkana one-third division, Saptamansha one-seventh division, Navamansha one-ninth division, Trishansha one-thirtieth division, and Dwadashansha one-twelfth division—have been clearly presented. Furthermore, it includes considerations of the houses and friends of Rahu and Ketu the lunar nodes, the mathematics of major Dasha and sub-periods Antardasha, the method for calculating the precise lifespan, and the results of the house lords Bhavesha-phala.

Now, I must say with confidence that by using this single book alone, no difficulty will be encountered in performing all tasks related to the birth chart Janmapatri. Excessive praise is useless; practitioners of predictive astrology Phalit-gya will experience this themselves by looking at it with an unbiased mind.

Having written the commentary for such an incomparable book, I have given the rights for publication to the famous Manager of the Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Library of Kashi, Babu Shri Jayakrishna Das Ji Gupta Mahodaya.

It is hoped that learned scholars, upon seeing this, will make my immense labor successful.

In the end, my humble prayer is that if any error has remained due to oversight or printing faults, the learned should correct it and inform me. I will present it again before those gentlemen, rectified in the next edition.

Even while walking, a slip occurs somewhere due to carelessness.
The wicked laugh at it, but the virtuous set it right.
