My father is my first guru, Dr. Raman is my second guru and

Sanjay is my third guru. I have great respect for Dr. Raman.

So I tried both the versions of D-8. Finally I adopted the

one that I found working better.

 

You asked about Sanjay's opinion. In a mail that somehow did

not make it to varahamihira list yet, he confirmed that the

definition I gave is correct.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
