Jyotihshastra: Astral and Mathematical Literature c7.5

c7.5

Sphujidhvaja’s YJ contains seventy-nine adhyāyas, which may be divided into five sections: on nativities (YJ 1–51), on praśna or interrogations (YJ 52–72), on yātrā or military astrology (YJ 73–76), on muhūrta or catarchic astrology (YJ 77–78), and on mathematical astronomy (YJ 79). We have already discussed the last section in the chapter on astronomy; here we shall only review the contents of the first, reserving sections two-four for the relevant chapters of this book.
