Description
The quoted passage appears to derive from the tradition of Sahadeva Jyotiṣa or Sahadeva Śakuna, a popular branch of predictive and omen-based literature traditionally attributed to Sahadeva. The verses present concise prognostications associated with numerical or positional divisions, reflecting the practical and mnemonic style characteristic of folk jyotiṣa texts.
Although the exact title of the manuscript cannot be identified with certainty due to textual corruption and the brevity of the extract, the concluding phrase “Iti Sahadevavācā” clearly associates the work with the Sahadeva tradition of divinatory literature. The text therefore represents a specimen of traditional Indian prognostic literature combining astrology, omen interpretation, and practical fortune-telling methods.
