About this Manuscript

Jātakālaṃkārakarman is an astrology text by Śukamahāmunikavi (grandson of Vasiṣṭa as per the manuscript's description. It seems that the text is based on the work Śukajātaka of Gaṇeśadaivajña. The work discuses the effects of planetary positions the effect of jyotiṣa graha-s the celestial bodies which affect the trajectory of an individual's life and psyche. Title is taken from colophon (f. 4b). It is written in 8–9 lines per leaf. 4 leaves are foliated 1–4, upper left and lower right verso. Manuscript contains the date Saṃvat 1755 in f. 3b. Though it is dated saṃvat 155 in f. 4b it appears that the scribe mistakenly wrote the date. Mistakes are covered with yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in the margins; significant syllables and words highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with triple black line.
