The Wheel of Horoscopy (1800) - Page 18

⚠The manuscript text is extremely faded, blurred, and nearly illegible throughout the entire page. Only faint outlines of the horizontal script are visible, likely due to aging, light exposure, or ink degradation.

[The text on this folio, consisting of approximately eight to ten lines, is extremely faded and blurred. The horizontal strokes of the script—likely Sharada or Devanagari—are visible as faint shadows, but the individual characters have been lost to time, light exposure, or the degradation of the ink. No distinct headings, marginal notes, or structural markers can be recovered from this specific side of the leaf.] ?

While the text itself is illegible, we can infer its contents based on the mathematical sequence started on the previous page. In the "Five-fold Fault" calculation, the remaining numbers typically signify: 1 (Death/Mrityu), 2 (Fire/Agni), 4 (The King/Raja), and 6 (Thief/Chora). These would represent specific types of bad luck or obstacles to be avoided when selecting a wedding date. The loss of this text reflects the physical fragility of the Dharmartha Trust collection manuscripts.
