c12.3

In the following pages, an attempt has been made to document information about ‘Kerala-based’ Jyotiṣa works, in Sanskrit, from various sources, and present the same with suitable annotations and references about the availablity of manuscripts and editions thereof but without any serious effort at the correlation of allied texts. The nature of the different texts is indicated by adding, after their titles, their subjects in abbreviation: 'kar.' for *Karaṇa*, 'jā.' for *Jātaka*, 'pra.' for *Praśna*, 'muh.' *Muhūrta*, 'astrol.' for General Astrology, 'nat. astrol.' for Natural Astrology, etc. The general abbreviations employed in the *Bibliography of Kerala Jyotiṣa literature*, above, have also been made use of, as necessary.
