It frames Jyotiṣa as an organized śāstra with defined branches, implying that correct knowledge of time, cycles, and indications supports dharma-based living and disciplined sādhana.
Indirectly: by classifying Jyotiṣa, it supports proper timing and observance of devotional practices (vratas, pūjā, muhūrtas), which strengthen steady bhakti through regular, well-ordered worship.
Jyotiṣa-related technical knowledge: Gaṇita (astronomical calculations), Jātaka (birth-chart interpretation), and Saṃhitā (omens, seasonal and worldly prognostication used for muhūrta and public/ritual planning).
