In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika AstrologyŚarīrādhikāra (शरीराधिकार) (lit. “regarding the body”) is the name of the eighth chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.— Chapter 8 (śarīrādhikāra) details the physical characteristics of a native on the basis of the ruler of the (ascending?) decan. While the descriptions of the seven planets (largely a reiteration of 2.6–8) are too general for their source to be positively identified, the material is not based on the works of Sahl or Abū Bakr already discussed. The text (8.1) states that it is taken from ‘Yavana’ or possibly ‘the Yavanas’; the order in which the planets are presented, from Saturn to the moon, confirms an extra-Indian origin.
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.
