v2.c14.25
We know that the ‘divine’ works on astrology extant at present are Gauri-Jātaka and Kālacakrajātaka or Kālajātaka, and the ‘non-human’ or ‘ārṣa’ works (i.e. those compiled by SAGES), are Pārāśarī, Jaiminī Sūtra and Bhṛgu Saṃhitā. The Pārāśarī has two editions-Bṛhat and Laghu. The most ancient of the existing ‘manmade’ works on astrology is the Bṛhajjātaka of VARĀHA-MIHIRA. At the end of the work, Varāha remarks.
