Place of deposit, Mandarkhanda Vikrampura, Dhaka, Vaikunthanatha Chakravarti. Appearance, old. Verse. Generally correct. Jyotiratna. Auspicious stellar conjunctions for marriages, &c. By Varaha Muni. The work professes to be an abridgment of the Jyotihsara. The author, in his introduction, calls himself Varaha Sarma, which would indicate that he was not the same with Varaha Mihira, nor a very old author. The word Muni in the colophon-is evidently erroneous.
