In Hinduism
Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Tambīra (तम्बीर) or Tambīrayoga refers to one of the “sixteen configurations” (ṣoḍaśayoga), as discussed in the third chapter of the Karmaprakāśa—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—Chapter 3 (ṣoḍaśayoga-adhikāra) is the earliest extant description in Sanskrit of this important Tājika doctrine, derived from Sahl. The most important point to note here is that the list of configurations in the Karmaprakāśa, like later Tājika sources, includes the spurious tambīra-yoga (from Arabic ṭabīʿa) in the fourteenth place and ends with duraḥpha (Ar. ḍuʿf ‘weakness’).
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
