SaudhikAgama, 64 Yoginis, Jyotish

[Guest guest]

Has someone in this group information about a text called the SaudhikAgama?

I ask because I try to find information about the 64 Yoginis and their role in

Jyotish.

In SaudhikAgama the period of day and night is divided into 30 muhurtas

(1 muhurta = approximately 48 minutes), fifteen for the day and fifteen for the

night.

Each muhurta is governed by 2 Yoginis, which would make 60 Yoginis for a day and

night. But because the morning dawn and evening twilight (Ushas & Sandhya) have

for Yoginis each, we get the number of 64 Yoginis.

Has someone information about this system?
