Description
The work is a composite manuscript that contains two texts. The first text is the Koṭacakra, also known as the Durgācakra (f. 1a–4a). The second text is the Kālajātaka (f. 4a–6b). Both texts belong to the Hindu astronomical and astrological tradition (Jyotiṣa). The Koṭacakra or Durgācakra discusses Santana yoga and related astrological configurations. It deals with the arrangement of planetary positions and their significance in determining auspicious combinations. The Kālajātaka, on the other hand, describes the nature and characteristics of the planets, various planetary combinations, and their effects on individuals according to their zodiac signs. Title is taken from colophon (Part 2, f. 3b). It is written in 14–17 lines per leaf. 6 leaves are foliated (Part 1) 1–3, (Part 2) 1–3, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes are blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins.
