Introduction

One should ensure the purification of the Lagna The Ascendant or the specific point of the zodiac rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. For this very reason, the children of those men who neglect this must endure many hardships throughout their lives. Nowadays, it is frequently observed that learned priests tend to declare the results of women's birth charts using texts intended for men, such as the Purusha Jataka. This is entirely incorrect. Scholars ought to declare all auspicious and inauspicious results of a man's birth chart from Purusha Jataka Astrological treatises specifically for male subjects and Brihat Jataka A foundational 6th-century Sanskrit text on Hindu astrology, while the results for women's birth charts should be considered from Stri Jataka Astrological treatises specifically for female subjects texts. It is only appropriate to calculate the determination of lifespan and the Dasha Planetary periods that govern specific times in a person's life in the same manner for both. Furthermore, any Rajayoga Planetary combinations indicating royalty, high status, or great fortune or fortune-bestowing combinations found in a woman's birth chart must be attributed to her husband.

Those scholars who consider the complete auspicious and inauspicious results of a woman's birth chart and speak of the past, future, and present through this book will find their predictions to be accurate according to the times. Moreover, those residents of India who have a girl's birth chart examined before marriage and observe all her characteristics through this book will, by the grace of God, never experience even a dream of suffering from the wife's side. They will likely obtain all happiness, including sons and grandsons. I hope that the most merciful and excellent scholars will forgive my audacity in this undertaking. Instead, I hope they will bless this humble servant and make my labor fruitful. And should there be any error in this book, then...
