Jyotiṣa-śāstra Saṅgraha: Threefold Division, Gaṇita Methods, Muhūrta, and Planetary Reckoning
गजग्रीष्टकृतिर्व्यैका दलिता चेष्टभाजिता । एकोऽस्य वर्गो दलितः सैको राशिः परो मतः ॥ ३२ ॥
gajagrīṣṭakṛtirvyaikā dalitā ceṣṭabhājitā | eko'sya vargo dalitaḥ saiko rāśiḥ paro mataḥ || 32 ||
ایک ہی اکائی کو بنیاد مان کر، اسے کم کر کے اور قاعدۂ عمل کے مطابق تقسیم کرنے سے، اس کم شدہ مقدار کا مربع حاصل ہوتا ہے۔ پھر اسی اکائی کو نتیجہ کی راشی مانا جاتا ہے—یہی منیوں کی رائے ہے۔
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a technical/disciplinary section)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: none
It underscores that Moksha-dharma is supported by disciplined knowledge (śāstra): even technical rules of measure and calculation are presented as part of an ordered, truth-seeking approach to dharma.
Indirectly: by valuing precise śāstric understanding, it supports the broader Purāṇic principle that devotion is strengthened when one’s practice is guided by correct knowledge rather than confusion or guesswork.
Vedāṅga-style technical vocabulary associated with Jyotiṣa/Gaṇita appears here—terms like rāśi (quantity) and varga (square) indicate a rule-based computational method.
