Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Dear Sunil Bhattacharjya ji, Yesterday I got the book Atharva Parisishta, from Chaukhamba Orientalia! Thanks for the info. The quote you provided is present in this text and the meaning provided by you is correct as well. I am providing the basic info about this text for the benefit of all.================ Atharava Parisishta This text is currently available in Devanagari Script without commentary, published by Chaukhamba Orientalia, Bangalow Road, Near Kamala Nagar, New Delhi. As the name suggests the word `Atharva Parisishta' refers to `rudiments of Atharva Veda'; rudiments that are part of the original Atharva Veda text or ancient vedic quotes that complements the subjects dealt within Atharva Veda in one way or the other. This text is ancient and authentic. For the availability of this ancient text in printed form, we are indebted to two eminent western Sanskrit philologists – Dr. Bolling and Dr. Negelein, who published this text in Roman script in AD 1909. The original manuscript of this text is available in various manuscript libraries in India and abroad, but none in print except the copy printed in Roman script by Dr. Bolling and Nr. Negelein. The current rendering of the same in Devanagari script is done by Ram Kumar Rai and published by Chaukhamba Orientalia. Similar to a Samhita text like Brihat Samhita, this text deals with numerous subjects related and unrelated to astrology. Some of the chapter names will give an idea about the vast amount of astrological info present in this text. To quote some chapter names – Nakshatra Kalpa (Stellar astrology), Vrishotsarga, Indra Mahotsava, Sambhara Lakshana, Arani Lakshana, Yajna patra Lakshana, Vedi Lakshana, Kundha Lakshana, Samit Lakshana, Sruva Lakshana, Hasta Lakshana (Palmistry), Jwala Lakshana (Omens by Flame), Chandra Pratipadikam, Graha Yuddha (Planetary war), Graha Samgraha (about planets), Rahu chara (Transit of Rahu), Ketu chara (Transit of Ketu), Kurma Vibhaga (geographical astrology), Dig daha Lakshana, Nirkhata Lakshana, Nakshatra Grahotpata Lakshana (Omens by Nakshatras and planets), Utpata Lakshanam, Atbhuta Santi etc to name a few. I suggest those who know Sanskrit to get a copy of this ancient that is a solid proof for the fact that Vedas (especially Atharva Veda) does deal with Predictive astrology in detail. ================ Hope this clarifies the doubt of many about the existence of predictive astrology in Vedas. The following 4 texts can serve as the basic background for the reconstruction of ancient Vedic astrology that bases itself on the movement of Tropical Zodiac against the fixed Nakshatra Chakra. 1) Atharva Parisishta 2) Atharva Vedanga Jyotisha 3) Atharva Vedeeya Jyotisha 4) Atharvana Jyotish (Atma Jyotisha) An in-depth study of all these 4 texts clarifies that , the subject dealt within all these texts are consistent and is in tune with the Atharva Vedic tradition of Stellar Tropical astrology. These texts are enough to provide sufficient background to provide and facilitate the re-construction of ancient Stellar Tropical Vedic astrology. Coupled with the bits of available in other Vedanga Jyotisha texts, Vedic and Epic literature - now anyone can try re-constructing this ancient branch of astrology.
