In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Musallaha (मुसल्लह) or “triangle, triplicity” is synonymous to Navāṃśa, according to the eighteenth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—In chapter 18 (pitrorariṣṭādhikāra) we encounter the first instances of the word musallaha or muśallaha, derived from the Arabic muthallatha ‘triangle, triplicity’; 18.7 uses musallaha and navāṃśa in parallel, confirming that they are to be understood as synonyms.
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.
