v2.c14.81
When we say that we have borrowed the ‘tājik’ branch from the Yavanas, it simply means that we adopted from the Yavanas the idea of giving the annual reading from the ascendant of the annual horoscope which is cast for the moment of one’s entry into a fresh year of life, and some technical terms about it. The rules of casting the horoscope and the rules for predicting results therefrom are almost the same in the Tājik as in the Jātaka and they originally belonged to us.
