I–II 25 - **Language:** English ### [25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.25) Scheme of the sky-adorning nativity of His Majesty, the King of Kings; and summary of the stellar influences according to THE METHODS OF THE ASTROLOGERS OF INDIA. By the calculations of the Indian astrologers, his Majesty's auspicious horoscope falls under Leo which is a Fixed Sign and is significant of perfect supremacy, victory, energy and superiority. The Sun, which takes more note of kings than of all the other objects in the universe, is the dominant, and this is a clear indication that the Native will be victorious and paramount over famous sovereigns and mighty rulers. The pillars of his sovereignty and government will gain stability and strength, day by day, and the regulations of his exaltation and glory will be carried out firmly and with permanence. The rays of his wrath will consume the fore-arms of stiff-necked, evil-disposed ones, and the beat of his war-drums will turn to water the courage of rank-breaking, tiger-hearted men. The scheme of the holy nativity is hereby set down in accordance with the writing of the foremost of Indian astrologers the Jotik Rai who was one of the servants of the royal threshold. - [Previous: 24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.24) - [Next: 26.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.26.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.25) · Pramāṇa
