c9.37

As in the cases of the other astrological sciences in India, interest in *praśna* has continued into modern times. Here it is necessary only to mention the Praśnasāra written by Govinda³³ at Devagiri, probably in the second quarter of the eighteenth century; the Praśnaratna³⁴ composed by Nandarāma Miśra³⁵ at Kāmyakavana in Rājasthān in 1767 (the author completed his ṭippaṇī on this in 1770); the Praśnacaṇḍeśvara³⁶ of Rāmakṛṣṇa; and, finally, the Praśnāyana³⁷ composed by Puruṣottama Mūssatu³⁸ at Siprādeśa in Kerala in 1881 (the author wrote his own vyākhyā on this).
