Musallaha (मुसल्लह) or “triangle, triplicity” is synonymous to Navāṃśa, according to the eighteenth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—In chapter 18 (pitrorariṣṭādhikāra) we encounter the first instances of the word musallaha or muśallaha, derived from the Arabic muthallatha ‘triangle, triplicity’; 18.7 uses musallaha and navāṃśa in parallel, confirming that they are to be understood as synonyms.
