Summary

Hindu astrological work for contemplative use or consultation. Functioning as a manual, this work discusses signs and gives predictions related to when the moon enters into a particular house of the zodiac. Contains a section on astrological health and healing, aligning the body cakra system (centers of power throughout the body) with the planets; employs tables and diagrams of human figures. There is a second text at the end of the manuscript titled Lughucāraṇakye jātaka (f. 54-56).
