Vyavahāra-pradīpa

The manuscript appears to belong primarily to the tradition of Jyotiṣa, especially dealing with horoscopy (horā), muhūrta (auspicious timing), and ritual practice. The extracted portions mention a wide range of subjects such as nakṣatras and their presiding deities, yogas, weekdays, seasons, time calculation, zodiac signs, planetary motions, lunar calculations, omens of rainfall, and auspicious astrological conditions. The text also includes descriptions of important saṃskāras and rituals, including karṇavedha (ear-piercing), cūḍākaraṇa (tonsure), upanayana, samāvartana, vidyārambha, and various consecration rites. References to bhaiṣajya-karma (healing or medicinal rites) and saṅkrānti calculations further indicate its practical and ritualistic character. The colophons mention titles such as Vyavahāra-pradīpa, Jātaka, and Saṃkeya-horādhyāya, suggesting that the manuscript may be a composite compilation containing several related treatises or chapters on astrology, ritual procedure, and practical religious observances. Thus, the manuscript can be identified as a mixed Jyotiṣa and ritual manual, dealing with horoscopy, auspicious timings, calendrical science, saṃskāras, and ritual practices used in traditional Hindu society.
