Writers of Astrology treatises

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

Can you please discuss the identity and dating of the following

writers of celebrated works on Vedic Astrology?

 

1. Kalyana Varma , the writer of the voluminous text " Saravali " . He

is a king from probably place called Vyaghra pada.

 

There are two other Kalyana varmas in the history - one from Magadha

and another from Assam.

 

Kaumudi Mahotsavam in five acts describes that King Kalyana Varma

regained his kingdom of Magadha about the times of Samudra Gupta. The

Iron pillar also seems to have reference to Kalyana varma.

 

The other Kalyana varma belonged to Kamarupa at around 594 AD

(Bhaskara Era)

 

However, the present Kalyana varma belongs to the times after Varaha

mihira (CG II ?.

 

2. Sree Mana Sagara A Monk who has written the great Sri Mana sagari.

 

He has prayed to several Hindu gods including Indra, Vsnu, Siva,

Brahma and Ganesha at the beginning of his book. That he has prayed to

Lord Krishna and described him as the one who has taken ten avatars

indicates that he belonged to Bhakti period. It is interesting to see

that he has also prayed to Pashya natha (jain)and the body less yavana

natha who aspects the Western side.

 

Hope to hear from you at the earliest,

 

regards,

Who wrote Kaumudi Mahotsavam?

Samdragupta added a great deal of territory along the

eastern coast crossing the Vindhyas. It seems unlikely that he was threatened

or actually defeated by Kalyana Varma. What is the source of this information?
