There does exist in several manuscripts, some of which are associated with Mysore (the earliest dated example was copied in 1589), a Jātakapaddhati of Śridhara; and a Jaina priest named Śridhara from Narigunda in the Karṇāṭaka wrote, in Kannaḍa, a Jātakatilaka⁴⁹ in 1049 under the Western Cālukya Someśvara I (1042–1068). What relation the two Śridharas might have to each other or to the astrologer cited by Śrīpati remains unclear. Śrīpati’s own Jātakapaddhati or Jātakakarmapaddhati teaches in eight \*adhyāyas\* how to calculate the astrological places, and how to compute the amount of aspects, the strengths of the planets, the length of life, the \*daśās\* and \*antardaśās\*, and the \*aṣṭakavarga\*; it is closely related to the \*pūrvakhaṇḍa\* of the BPH. The JKP was immensely influential as is indicated by the numerous imitations of it and commentaries on it; the latter were composed by Sūryadeva at Gaṅgāpura in about 1250 (Jātakālaṅkāra); by Parameśvara at Aśvatthagrāma in about 1425 (Bālaprabodhini); by Acyuta in about 1525 (Bhāvārthamañjarī); by Sūryadāsa at Pārthapura in about 1550 (Bodhasudhākara); by Raghunātha (the unique manuscript was copied in 1612); by Sumatiharṣa Gaṇi, presumably at Khairābād, in 1616 (Subodhā); by Kṛṣṇa in about 1625; by Dullaha⁵⁰ in 1776; and by Kāmābhaṭṭa⁵¹ (Sampradāyapariśuddhi); by a Brāhmaṇa from Parakroḍa in Kerala;⁵² by Bhāveśa;⁵³ by Bhāskara;⁵⁴ by Bhūdhara;⁵⁵ by Mādhava⁵⁶ (Janabodhinī); and by Śivadāsa. - [Previous: c7.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.64) - [Next: c7.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.66) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7) ## Linked texts (3) - [Jātakatilaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.kannada.jatakatilaka) — Śrīdharācārya, Kannada - [Jātakālaṅkāra (Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.hora.jatakalankara-bhattoji-diksita) — Bhaṭṭoji Dīkṣita, Sanskrit - [Sampradāyapariśuddhi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.visistadvaita.vadakalai.sampradayaparisuddhi) — Vedāntadeśika, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c7.65) · Pramāṇa
