Chaff and grain (Bush Inauguration Chart Article)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Arun,

 

Please show me one single example from Parasara, of an "underlying

principle" and the unimportant "husk" surrounding it, which needs

to "removed".

 

Please note that I am not interested in examples from other authors

and interested only in examples from Parasara and Jaimini.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
