Jyotiṣa-śāstra Saṅgraha: Threefold Division, Gaṇita Methods, Muhūrta, and Planetary Reckoning
खंडकाः स्युश्चतुर्विशा ज्यार्द्धपिंडाः क्रमादमी । परमा पक्रमज्या तु सप्तरंध्रगुणेंदवः ॥ ९३ ॥
khaṃḍakāḥ syuścaturviśā jyārddhapiṃḍāḥ kramādamī | paramā pakramajyā tu saptaraṃdhraguṇeṃdavaḥ || 93 ||
இவை வரிசையாக ஜ்யா-அர்த்தப் பிண்டங்கள்; ‘கண்டகங்கள்’ எனப்படும் இவை இருபத்துநான்கு. உச்ச பக்கிரம-ஜ்யா ‘ஏழு துளைகள்’ அளவால் பெருக்கப்பட்ட ‘இந்துக்கள்’ என்ற அளவினால் அளக்கப்படுகிறது.

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
Although technical, the verse shows the Purana’s Vedāṅga orientation: precise knowledge (śāstra-pramāṇa) is treated as a support for dharma and right understanding, which ultimately aids mokṣa-oriented living.
Direct bhakti is not stated here; instead, it indirectly supports bhakti by emphasizing disciplined, accurate śāstric learning—traditionally seen as removing confusion and stabilizing a devotee’s practice and observances.
Jyotiṣa-style technical enumeration is highlighted: ordered units (khaṇḍaka), chord-related terminology (jyā, pakrama-jyā), and fixed numerical standards used for calculation and canonical measurement.
