If you say so you are committing the same mistake you have asked me

not to commit!

 

You words given below:

<==

Should I comment the same about your observation of Dasadhyayi? :)

Remember that Dashadhyayi, Chaturasudari etc falls in the uncorrupted

Astrology Tradition. Dashadhyayi was written in a period when the

Rishi horas such as Skanda Hora, Brihat Prajapatya etc where

available.

(Those texts were available in Kerala at that period. Those books

were available to even to Kaikulangala who lived about 250 years back

in Kerala. ChatraSundari is written by the Son of Madhavacharya who

wrote Madhaveeya, another valuable astrological classic)

Remember that unlike commentaries that usually provide only the

meaning of the slokas and the discussion based on the same,

Dasadhyayi and Chaturasundari were books to teach astrology to the

learners - rather than commentaries. So they layout the principle in

clear Sanskrit prose in detail, without ambiguity and scope for

doubt.

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh,

 

I am surprised at the double standards. If it is alright to question the

translation of Bhattotpala whom the Dashaadhyayi author extols, as to

correctness of Sanskrit and that of Sitaram Jha who was professor

emeritus of Kashi Sanskrit Vishwa Vidyaalaya and a learned astrologer

who brought to light many rare astrological manuscripts, why should it

not be other way round? After all apparently Bhattotpala predates

Dashaadhyaayi. And you may mark that I did not say he was wrong I said

it is unfortunate. I used those words as I do not have Dashaadhyaayi

with me to check whether what is being said is right or not. My

understanding is that it was written in Malayalam, which I do not

understand, and the words attributed to the author appear to be Sanskrit

ones.

 

It is not a crime to question a wrong translation but it certainly is

odd to criticize only if the commentator is translating in a way that

goes against your own pet theories. I do not think even the author of

Dashaadhyaayi would claim to be the final authority as a commentator of

what ever Varaha Mihira has said in Brihatjataka, knowing full well that

he has commented on only 10 Adhyaayas of the 28 or so adhyaayas of that

text.

 

Regards,

Chandrashekhar.

Dear Chandrashekhar ji,

We can in no way compare Sitaram Jha and the auther of Dasadhayai.

Thalakkulattu Bhattatiri is an par excellance personality, similar to

Balabhadra who wrote Hora Ratna or Bhattolpala. If you want to

compare, please put -

* Bhattolpala (Author of Bhattolpali - commentary for Brihat Jataka)

* Talakkulattu Bhattatiri (Author of Dasadhyayi commentary for Brihat

Jataka)

* Vishnu (Author of Chatura Sundari commentary Krishneeya)

* Achrya Balabhadra (Author of Hora Ratna)

* Edakkattu Nambootiri (Author of Prasnamarga)

* Kaikulangara (Author of Hridyapadha commentry for Brihat Jataka)

- in same category; and not others. They are scholers par excellance

and please put small names (even though big among smaller names) among

them. If you read those books you will surely agree with me - I reckon.

By the way - all the above books except Hridyapadha by Kaikulangara

is written in Sanskrit and not in Malayalam.

 

P.S. Chatura Sundari Vyakhya of of Krishneeyam in Sanskrit I can

provide you as a pdf file, even though some typing mistakes would be

there since I typed it.

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh,

 

The reference to Bhattotpala was with reference to Dashaadhyaayi author

and Sitaram Jha with very learned Sanskrit Scholar and a well respected

astrologer of yesteryears.

 

As to the comparison of authors you have devised, I do not think they

compare with the likes of Parashara, Jaimini, Varaha Mihira, Narada,

Garga etc. Neither is such comparison fair. So let us not compare the

sages who gave the divine science and the original authors of texts,

with the commentators and translators.

 

My personal opinion is that every author and commentator of stature is

good in his own place and championing one over the other is not very

fair, especially if one has not read the others. So barring Bhattotpala,

whose commentary I have read, I can not comment on others.

 

Chandrashekhar.

Dear Chandrasekhar ji,

We don't dispute - Mihira much because the copy of text we have is

authentic and there is not much version confict.

But we dispute - BPHS and Jaimini (not doubt Parasara and Jaimini

were great sages) because of the inconsistency and incompleteness of

the books we have; and also because of the existence of a thousand

versions - which makes us doubt the authenticity of the slokas. We

are forced to doubt how many of these slokas are actually part of

BPHS and Jaimini sutra? We are forced to doubt taking every sloka or

sutra - Is it of Parasara (or is it of Jaimini) or an interpolated

one? Was this sloka (sutra) part of the original work, or is it

contradicts the already laid out concepts? Should we depend on it or

not? If it is really told by Parasara or Jaimini we can depend on it

with a pinch of doubt – But is this sloka/sutra is told by him? This

is the actual situation.

Of course as you rightly said, we cannot compare the authors of

Dashadhayi, or of Bhattolpali with masters like - Mihira, Vasishta,

Parashara, or Jaimini. But please do consider and understand the

above situation; which causes Brihat Jataka, Dashadhyayi etc to be

more authentic that BPHS or Jaimini Sutra. Here the situation is the

culprit and not the sages. Scrutiny is of the doubtable (is it

authentic?) slokas and sutras and there is not even a pinch of

disregard towards the great sages. Please understand this.

Love,

Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh,

 

But as with Varaha Mihira, manuscripts of Parashari Hora shastra and

Jaimini sutras were found and then there are other classics like Jataka

Paarijata, Phala Deepika, Sarvartha Chintamani, Chamatkar Chintamani,

Laghu Parashari-Ududaaya Pradeep, Mayur Chitrak, Jatakaalankar, Jyotish

phalaratnamala and many others that pass the same test as Brihat jataka.

There is Bhadrabahu Samhita, Ravana samhita and so on. The list is

limitless. Most of them are original writers of the texts and not

commentators. So there are many original authors whose works are

available in uncorrupted forms.

 

Chandrashekhar.

Dear Chandrashekhar ji,

==>

> But as with Varaha Mihira, manuscripts of Parashari Hora shastra

> and Jaimini sutras were found

<==

There is no need I should tell you difference between the

availability and authenticity of those manuscripts - since you are

well aware of the varied versions.

 

==>

> there are other classics like Jataka Paarijata, Phala Deepika,

<==

I don't think I am necessory to intiate you on the difference

between Rishi horas (By Skanda, Vasishtra, Kousika, Garga, Sounaka,

Sukracharya etc) and the medivial texts.

 

==>

> many others that pass the same test as Brihat jataka.

<==

Yes, but the only thing is that the passing texts are not yet in

print. :) Why you forgot to add the other Samhitas, like Lomasa

Samhita, Samasa Samhita etc? Thanks - At least these texts are Rishi

told and not of the medivial category. :=)

<==

Please don't comment on things in which you can not be authentic -

and make a fun of it. " uncorrupted forms " - how can you say that? Are

you present there when they wrote it? Please limit the statement to

the level up to which we can be sincere.

Why can't you see the simple fact that - it was the unavailability

of Rishi Horas that made the North Indian pundits to come up with

made-up/modified texts based on some ancient fragmented versions of

BPHS? Even if they were authentic enough in milking the essentials,

texts like HoraSara and Muhurta Chintamani must have got more

weightage; and authentic commentaries (like that of Bhattolpala) must

have came up. But look at the history - the path was lost for many

centuries; and even now after availing many ancient classics in

print; stumbling after the D-charts!! It pathetic - and disrespectful

towards the Rishi's who created this system.

 

With all respect, dear Chandrasekhar ji, I don't find any usefulness

in continuing this discussion with you. It seems to be totally

useless.

 

Thanks,

Sreenadh

Dear Sreenadh,

 

Since you think none of the later day texts were available in

uncorrupted form, how do you know that Brihat Jataka and Dashaadhyaayi

texts that are available today are in uncorrupted form? Or many other

texts that you mention as the only standards worth understanding? How do

you authenticate the umpteen horas that you have quoted in support of

your arguments. If they were not in manuscript form then how do know

their antiquity and if they were in manuscript by your own logic they

must necessarily be corrupted.

If one has to apply your logic then nothing that is not printed in

modern times, and for which copyright is available, should be used to

study Vedic astrology.

 

I for one can not agree with your logic.

 

Chandrashekhar.
