horoscopes assembled under the name Bhr̥gusaṃhitā, and presented in the form of a dialogue between Bhr̥gu¹¹⁷ and Śukra. The work contains thirteen gigantic adhyāyas: one for each zodiacal sign, and a Yogasāgara.¹¹⁸ The earliest dated manuscript was copied in 1645; I doubt that the work antedates the sixteenth century. The manuscript copies all originate in North India, where some extraordinarily diligent fellow compiled it. A similar collection found in South India is the mammoth Saptarṣi nāḍī¹¹⁹ in Tamil.
