The °²¹°ù³¾²¹±è°ù²¹°ìÄåÅ›²¹ consists of twenty chapters comprising nearly 400 stanzas in a profusion of metres.—Chapters 1â€�4 deal with introductory matters and definitions; chapters 5â€�13 concern various aspects of the body, its health and life, relating to the first house of the horoscope (but including material on illness and death, which might more properly have been assigned to the sixth and eighth houses, respectively); chapters 14â€�16 discuss matters of livelihood, wealth and poverty, relating to the second house (but including material on occupation and status that might have been assigned to the tenth); and chapters 17 and 18 concern siblings and parents, relating to the third and fourth house, respectively. Finally, and somewhat abruptly, chapters 19 and 20 contain a discussion of female nativities and ‘miscellaneousâ€�.

Jyotisha (जà¥à¤¯à¥‹à¤¤à¤¿à¤�, Âá²â´Ç³Ù¾±á¹£a or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomyâ€� or “Vedic astrologyâ€� and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas). Jyotisha concerns itself with the study and prediction of the movements of celestial bodies, in order to calculate the auspicious time for rituals and ceremonies.

Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
