[...] On all the above subjects, works of learned men exist. The predictions of one to whom the truths of the science appear as if spread before his eyes, written on his mind [i.e., ālikhita] and planted in his breast will never fail. A true Astrologer is also one who has thoroughly mastered the Science of Saṃhitā”.
