Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika AstrologySahajādhikāra (सहजाधिकार) (lit. “regarding siblings”) is the name of the seventeenth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—Chapter 17 (sahajādhikāra) is of interest chiefly for including a reference that is also present in the Krakow manuscript of De nativitatibus but omitted from the printed edition. The last verse of the chapter refers to an otherwise unknown authority by the name Kutthasena (or Kucchasena), called Albucate in Salio’s translation .
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa 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.
