Source: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika AstrologyŚobhanadeva (शोभनदेव) is mentioned in Samarasiṃha’s account of his family lineage, according to the twentieth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—Samarasiṃha’s account of his family lineage—from the royal minister Caṇḍasiṃha through Śobhanadeva and Sāmanta to Kumārasiṃha—is remarkable chiefly for omitting both his own name (at least in full) and his date. Samarasiṃha is dated by Pingree to any time between 1060 and 1365, an estimate based on his great-great-grandfather serving a king of the Caulukya dynasty. This argument clearly rests on the reading caulukyakṣitipāla at Karmaprakāśa 20.10, which is almost certainly correct, although the printed editions and two of three manuscripts give the variant reading trailokyakṣitipāla ‘king of the three worlds’—tritely grandiose but worthless from the point of view of historical information [...]
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.
