Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihiraū岵 (पूर्वभाग) refers to the “eastern part (of a particular region)�, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 16) (“On the planets�graha-bhaktiyoga�), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “[...] Jupiter presides over the eastern part (ū岵) of the Indus, the western half of Mathurā, the countries of Bharata and Sauvīra; the town of Srughna, the province of Udīcya, the Vipāśā and the Śatadru rivers; the countries of Ramaṭha, Śālvā; Traigarta, Paurava, Ambaṣṭa, Pārata, Vāṭadhāna, Yaudheya, Sārasvata, Arjunāyana, one half of Matsya; [...]�.

Jyotisha (ज्योति�, dzپṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy� or “Vedic astrology� 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.
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: eScholarship: The descent of scripture: a history of the Kamikagamaū岵 (पूर्वभाग) refers to the first part of the printed 峾岵: an ancient Śaiva Āgama scripture in 12,000 Sanskrit verses dating to at least the 5th century whereas modern publications are represented as an encyclopedic account of ritual instructions (岹).—Today, the Kāmika is widely referred to as a primary source of authority for Śaivasiddhānta. It claims to have been originally transmitted in 100,000 billion verses. The 峾岵 is a somewhat different text today from how it has existed historically. In modern print editions, it is structured in two major parts (岵), consisting of a ū岵 (“first part�) and Uttara岵 (“second part�). [...] In print editions, the Kāmika consists of approximately 12,000 Գṣṭܲ verses spread out over 173 chapters (ū岵 ~5,000 verses; Uttara岵 ~7,000 verses). The ū岵 consists of 75 chapters (貹ṭa) that range in length from seven verses (Chapter 12, ś) to 537.5 verses (Chapter 4, arcana).

Shaiva (शै�, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
