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. - [Previous: c7.152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.152) - [Next: c7.154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.154) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7) ## Linked texts (2) - [Bhṛgusaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.rsi.bhrgusamhita) — Bhṛgu, Sanskrit - [Saptarṣināḍī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.hora.nadi.saptarsinadi) — Tamil --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.153) · Pramāṇa
