Description

Description from Colenda Digital Repository — University of Pennsylvania Libraries (opens in a new tab)

Manuscript is a manual for reading and interpreting signs for charting out astrological moments (muhūrta), according to Hindu astrology, that will occur in one's life in order to make the best decisions and elicit the most benefit from it. There is a small astrological chart or table at the end of the work (f. 52v). An extensive, unidentified commentary runs parallel, above and below the root text.
