Brihajjataka 1.2

1.2

bhūyobhiḥ paṭu buddhibhiḥ paṭu dhiyāṃ horā phala jñaptaye śabda nyāya samanviteṣu bahuśaḥ śāstreṣu dṛṣṭeṣv api/
horā tantra mahā arṇava prataraṇe bhagna udyamānām ahaṃ svalpaṃ vṛtta vicitram artha bahulaṃ śāstra plavaṃ prārabhe//(śā vi)

Although treatises endowed with sound reasoning have been studied many times by many people of sharp intellect to know the fruits of horā, / for those whose efforts have foundered in crossing the vast ocean of the lore of horā, I begin a compact ship of a treatise, diverse in metres and rich in meaning.
