Phalita Jyotiṣa

The manuscript belongs to the tradition of Jyotiṣa (Indian astrology) and deals primarily with astrological prognostication (Phalita Jyotiṣa). The extant text discusses the relationship between zodiacal signs (rāśis) and lunar mansions (nakṣatras), the effects of planetary positions, the concept of Candrapāśa, determination of auspicious and inauspicious influences, and planetary transits (graha-gocara). Colophons such as “Iti Candrapāśa”, “Iti Doṣalagnajñāna”, “Śubhāśubhārakṣaṇavidhi-samāpta”, and “Dvādaśagrahagocarī-samāpta” indicate that the manuscript is a compendium of astrological topics related to horoscope interpretation and predictive astrology.
