Astral omens constitute one of the main, if not the most important topics in most of the extant works attributed to Garga. Among the most archaic materials in the Gārgīyajyotiṣa, besides those dealing with the nakṣatras, are those found in the chapter titled “Tithikarmaguṇā” in forty-four verses, which forms a part of the first aṅga, titled “Karmaguṇā”.
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.
