In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika AstrologyPitrorariṣṭādhikāra (पित्रोररिष्टाधिकार) (lit. “regarding the fatality of the parents”) is the name of 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.—Chapter 18 (pitrorariṣṭādhikāra) contains 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. The same stanza includes two unusual expressions (vajraha, saravilagna) which are taken by Nārāyaṇabhaṭṭa to refer to dvādaśāṃśas or twelfth-parts (δωδεκατηµόρια)—an ancient zodiacal division, though not among those enumerated in the opening chapter of the Karmaprakāśa. Although the stanza appears to draw together a number of separate indications discussed by Abū Bakr in the chapters relating to parents, these do include, in the Latin translation, the twelfth-parts (duodenaria).
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.
