SrI:Respected Swamin,Thank you very much for the forward.

Looking forward to the foreword with excerpts from BPHS

Bruhat ParAsara Hora SamhitA).

Can I know the Vedic source of these manthras on navagrahas?Please don't mistake me for asking this again.Locating Vedic verses on Grahas helps in finding out some interesting issues such as when the vasaras (The week days) came into vogue, when Rahu- Ketu came to be included in predictive astrology and when and where in vedas angaraka is mentioned for the firts time, etc. In vedic litearure we dont get a clear picture of planetary system except sun and the moon. The eclispes are talked about along with Rahu and ketu. The basis of predictive astrology is said to be Atharvana vedas. In this background, i am curious to know the source book of these navagrahan manthras.Regards, jayasree
