About this Manuscript

This text is an astronomical work consisting mainly of tables. It begins with the author's description, including Dhruvasaṃvatsara and Vālakaghaṭikā, and mentions several auspicious place names such as Kāśmīra, Kurukṣetra, Kāśī, and Burhanpur, along with a description of the ghaṭikā (f.1a). It also refers to year systems such as Dhruvasaṃvatsara and Śeṣasaṃvatsara. The manuscript includes sections on Tithisādhana (f.3a–6b), Nakṣatrasādhana (f.7a–11b), Yogasādhana (f.11a), and Dhruvasaṃvatsara (f.18b–26b). It further presents calculations for identifying the phalas (results) of each planet, beginning with the Sun and continuing up to Saturn (f.27b–44a). Additionally, it contains time calculations used to predict the positions of each zodiac sign (rāśi) and the lagnas (f.44b–51a). The entire manuscript primarily consists of calculation charts.
