Source: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika AstrologyDvātriṃśatsahamādhikāra (द्वात्रिंशत्सहमाधिकार) (lit. “regarding the thirty-two sahamas”) is the name of the fourth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—Chapter 4 (dvātriṃśatsahamādhikāra ) is a list of so-called lots (Sanskrit: sahamas; Arabic: sahm, translating κλῆρος), derived by measuring the longitudinal distance between two predefined points in a horoscope (typically two planets) and projecting it from a third point (typically the ascendant degree). The lots constitute a method of assigning concrete meanings to different areas of the zodiac, and may have begun as an alternative to the twelve-house system; as the number of lots increased during the medieval period, their significations often grew more specific. [...] Of these 32 lots, all but two are present in what has become the most widespread list of Tājika sahamas, compiled some three centuries later by Nīlakaṇṭha and comprising 50 items.
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.
