Nadyamsa from Parasara's shodasa vargas (shastyamsa)

[Guest guest]

Dear Chandrashekhar,

Thank you, and thanks again to Narsimha for pointing this out. I've

now selected this Chandra Kala Nadi option in JH "preferences" (it

was in fact the default), but I can't find any way of getting at the

information. Could anyone tell me where it can be found? It's not

listed in the D-charts menu, nor elsewhere, as far as I can see.

Many thanks if you can help

Graham
