Dear Members,

 

It is not lost. Out of three translations, two are available at

www.vedicweb.com/Manorama.htm . Only one done in France is not available.

 

Best Wishes

Re: [vedic astrology] Basic Doubts

Dear Siri Chandrasekhar

I quote: "Varahmira's work on the former, known as Brihat Samhita, is now being

translated by me, and his astronomical work is known as Panchassiddhanta, It

was long supposed to have been lost. Fortunately , two copies of this rare

work were recently discovered, and they were purchased by the Bombay

Government. M. Thibaut Phil. Dr., is now preparing an English translation of

same assisted by Pandit Suddakara. "

This is written in Jan 1977

 

There has been a very good responce from the learned Guru,s but my

doubts remain

 

I would appreciate if Guru Narsinhagaru, gives his views on these matters, and

the Method he has adopted while creating his very popular soft

wares.Chandrashekhar <boxdel (AT) (DOT) co.uk> wrote:

Dear Sridhar,

Could you indicate the translator and which edition amongst those available has he translated from?

Paarashara does mention Ekapada, tripad etc. drishties and also Rasi drishties.

He also indicates how to calculate the value of an aspect based on difference

of degrees between the aspecting and aspected planets. But 15 degrees either

side is some thing new, hence the request.

Of course astrologers of my generation usually consider Rasi to Rasi drishty.

That is say Sun in say 3 degrees Aries would continue to aspect Jupiter in say

29 degrees Libra. We assess the strengrth of drishty from the distance of the

planet from Bhava madhya of Lagna, nearer the stronger.

Chandrashekhar.
