This is an Indian astrological book written by Varāhamihira in the 6th century. It belongs to the Jataka, one of the three major branches of Indian divination, and is still the most widely read and authoritative in this field to this day. Jataka means divination based on birth dates, and it mainly deals with horoscope astrology of Hellenistic origin. The oldest document in this field is the Yavana-jātaka, translated from Greek into Sanskrit in the 2nd century. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
