 Jataka Bharanam [1] is an old treatise on Hindu astrology mainly dealing with the Phalita i.e. predictive astrology. This Sanskrit text [2] is believed to have been written by Dhundiraja, the commentator of Mudrarakshasa, sometime during the 15th Century A.D.[3]Dhundiraja lived in Parthanagar near River Godavari.[4] It is one of the many time honoured important Indian Classics on astrology [5] that has been relied upon and frequently cited.[6][7] This book, written in the usual Sanskrit verse-format and comprising 1744 verses divided into 26 adhyayas, minutely covers the entire ambit of Jyotisa. Beginning with a prayer and after making a few preliminary suggestions (22 verses) Dundiraja in its first section commences with the results of the Birth-samvatsaras (60 verses), of the two Ayanas (2 verses), of Ritus (6 verses), of Birth-months (13 verses), of Lunar Pakshas (2 verses), of day and night births (2 verses), of Janam-tithis (15 verses), of Weekdays (7 verses), ofNakshatras (53 verses), of Navamsas rising at the time of birth (9 verses), of Yogas (Soli-lunar) (27 verses), of Karanas (11 verses), of Gandanta (1 verse), of Ganas (3 verses), of 12 lagnas (12 verses), observation on all afore-mentioned (12 verses), on short and long Rasis (2 verses), and on 12 bhavas along with description of special nature of planets and various yogas (143 verses). In the second section he deals with the nine planets occupying the 12 bhavas (108 verses). In the third section he deals with astrological aspects and their results (325 verses), with the nine planets variously occupying 12 signs (85 verses), with Sarvatobhadra chakra etc., (22 verses), with Gochara and Ashtakavarga ( 29 verses), and with conjunctions of planets (59 verses). This is followed by the Raja yogaadhyaya (80 verses), Raja yoga bhanga adhyaya (6 verses), Panch Mahapurusha yogaadhyaya (18 verses), Karaka yoga adhyaya (6 verses), Nabhasa yoga adhyaya (48 verses), Rashmijatakadhyaya (18 verses), Planetary avasthas (10 verses) and Sthanadiyuktagrahphalam (8 verses). These are followed by yogas taking the Sun and the Moon as factors (18 verses), Sanyasa yogas (11 verses), Arishta yogas (51 verses), Arishtabhangadhyaya (15 verses), and Sarvagraharishtadhyaya (21 verses). This book also deals with Rasi Dashas (147 verses), Mahadashadhyaya (13 verses) and Antradashadhyaya (74 verses). Thereafter, it covers Danas (10 verses), Nashjatakadhyaya (14 verses), Death (112 verses) and Strijataka (32 verses). This book written in chaste Sanskrit omits mention of the two Lunar Nodes, Rahu and Ketu. [8]

Dasadhyayi (Devanāgarī: दशाध्यायी, IAST: Daśādhyāyī), is the famous reputed commentary on the first ten chapters of Varāha Mihira’s Bṛhat Jātaka by Govinda Bhaṭṭathiri (1237 – 1295) of Talakkulam who [1][2] hailed from Alattur, a village near Thirur in South Malabar, Kerala, and who had also [3] [4] written Muhūrtapadavī. This text was regularly studied and memorised along with Bṛhat Jātaka and its [5] interpretation of readily accepted. Daśādhyāyī was primarily written by Govinda Bhattathiri in simple language and style for the benefit of his own disciples, and is based on experimentation and observation; he has focussed on prediction and profusely quoted sources but he has followed more the views of Sārāvalī on which basis he has also [6] criticized Varāhamihira. With regard to the value and importance of Daśādhyāyī, which commentary is the foremost amongst the twenty-eight commentaries on Bṛhat Jātaka, Harihara, the author of Praśna Mārga, states that Sanskrit:

।

॥३२॥

IAST: adṛṣṭvā yo daśādhyāyīṃ phalamādeṣṭumicchati । icchatyeva samudrasya taraṇaṃ sa plavaṃ vinā ॥32॥

English Translation by Dr. B.V Raman: “One, who attempts to predict without the Daśādhyāyī, would be like a man trying to cross an ocean without a boat.” – Praśna Mārga: Importance of Varāhamihira, Śloka 32, Prathamādhyāya - Chapter 1. According to Dr. B.V Raman, Govinda Bhattathiri has very intelligently tried to read some secret or hidden [7] meanings into Varāhamihira’s writings other than they would ordinarily imply. However, M.Ramkrishna Bhatt is of the opinion that either the author of Daśādhyāyī was Govinda Bhattathiri and the author of [8] Nauka some other writer who is not yet known, or Govinda Bhattathiri did not write Daśādhyāyī.

··Chamatkara Chintamani is a revered treatise on the predictive part of Hindu astrology. It comprises one hundred and eight Sanskrit Slokas written by Bhatta Narayana. Brij Behari Lal Sharma, the modern translator and commentator of this treatise, writes that it was probably written in the 14th Century A.D. and that the author belonged to a Brahminfamily hailing from Maharashtra which had settled [1] in Mysore, Karnataka. This text is also known as Bhava Chintamani. Chamatkara Chintamani is a Jyotihśāstra and a reference book, in which Bhatta Narayana, through one hundred eight slokas arranged in nine chapters with each chapter dedicated to each one of the nine planets, gives effects of each planet in each one of the twelve houses/rasi with reference to its location

[2]

from other planets. Each sloka reads the influence of a particular planet in a particular house [3] irrespective of the sign falling on that house. This astrology-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

Jataka Parijata is an ancient astrological classic that is ranked alongside Bṛhat Parāśara [2] Horāśāstra of Parāśara Muni, Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāhamihira and Phaladīpikāḥ ofMantreśvara. It is regularly studied as a text-book and a reliable reference-book, and is one of the few books that gives time [3] on the nativity, the other two being Horā Ratnaṃ andJātaka Bharaṇaṃ. Jataka Parijata (Devanāgarī: जातक पारिजात, IAST: jātaka pārijāta) is written in Sanskrit in the [4]

usual Śloka-format. Its author, Vaidyanātha Dīkṣita, was probably born c.1425-1450. Many noted scholars and authors like - V.Subramanya Sastri, G.S.Kapoor, Gopesh Kumar Ojha, Bangalore Venkata [5] [6] [7] [8] Raman, Bepin Behari, Gayatri Vasudev, S.S.Chaterjee, Ernst Wilhelm, Hart De Fouw, Arthur [9] Llewellyn Basham, Komilla Sutton - have translated and written commentaries on Jataka Parijata beside referring to its contents in their own works. Jātaka Pārijāta, according to Gopesh Kumar Ojha, was completed in the year 1347 Śaka/1482 Vikram Saṃvat i.e. in the year 1426 A.D. It is based on various earlier works such as Garga Horā, Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra, Śrīpati-Paddhati, Sārāvalī, Bṛhat Jātaka,Sarvārtha Cintāmaṇi etc. Its author, Vaidyantha,who was a devotee of Ranganatha (LordViṣṇu) and lived in South India in Karṇāṭaka or Andhra, belonged to the Bharadvāja Gotraand was the son of Veṅkaṭadri. Some scholars are of the opinion that Vaidyanātha is the same person who wrote Prataprudriya. Keśava Daivajṅa, the author [10] of Keśava Jātaka andMuhūrta-Tattva, was his disciple. Jātaka Pārijāta has Eighteen chapters viz. I: Prathamo'dhyāyaḥ – Rāśiśīlādhyāyaḥ (61 verses) or Chapter on forms of Signs, II: Dvitīyo'dhyāyaḥ – Grahasvarūpaguṇādhyāyaḥ (87 verses) or Chapter on nature of Planets, III: Tṛtīyo'dhyāyaḥ – Viyonyādijanmādhyāya (80 verses) or Chapter on Births, IV: Caturtho'dhyāyaḥ – Bālāriṣṭādhyāyaḥ (107 verses) or Chapter on Early Death, V: Pañcamoyo'dhyāyaḥ – Āyurdāyādhyāyaḥ (124 verses) or Chapter on Longevity, VI: Tṛtīyo'dhyāyaḥ – Jātakabhaṅgādhyāyaḥ (102 verses) or Chapter on Miseries and set-backs, VII –Rājayogādhyāyaḥ (181 verses) or Chapter on gain of Rulership and ruling powers, VIII – Dviyadigrhayogādhyāyaḥ (118 verses) or Chapter on Conjunction etc., of two or more planets, IX – Mandyabdadiphaladhyaya (129 verses) or Chapter on the role of Māndi etc., X –Aṣṭakavargādhyāyaḥ (72 verses) or Chapter on Aṣṭakavarga system, XI – Prathamadvityābhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ (96 verses) or Chapter on nature and results on

of planetary influence etc.,of the Lagna and the 2nd house, XII – Tṛtyācaturthabhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ (144 verses) or Chapter on nature and results on of planetary influence etc.,of the 3rd and the 4th house, XIII –Pañcamaṣaṣṭhabhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ (82 verses) or Chapter on nature and results on of planetary influence etc.,of the 5th and the 6th house , XIV – Saptamāṣṭamnavamabhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ (103 verses) or Chapter on nature and results on of planetary influence etc.,of the 7th, the 8th and the 9th house, XV – Daśamekādaśādvādaśabhāvaphalādhyāyaḥ (83 verses) or Chapter on nature and results on of planetary influence etc.,of the 10th, 11th and the 12th house, XVI – Strījātakādhyāyaḥ (54 verses) or Chapter on Female horoscopy, XVII – Kālacakradaśādhyāya (111 verses) or Chapter on Kālacakradaśā calculation and results and XVIII –Daśāphalādhyāyaḥ (172+4 verses) Chapter on Uḍudaśās. These eighteen chapters said to originally contain 1763 ślokas, due to interpolations now consisting of 1910 or 1918 verses, cover the entire range of Hindu astrology based on Parāśarian principles. Like Bṛhat Jātaka, Jātaka Pārijāta is a condensation of more ancient Hora texts and some later [11] important works including Bṛhat Jātaka.
