इत्युच्यते यवनाचार्येण पारस्या भाषया प्रणीतज्योतिश्शास्त्रैकदेशरूपं वार्षिकादिनानाविधफलादेशफलकं शास्त्रं ताजिकशब्दवाच्यम् ॥ तदनन्तरसंभूतैः समरसिंहादिभिरधीतव्याकरणैर्ब्राह्मणैस्तदेव शास्त्रं संस्कृतशब्दोपनिबद्धं तदपि ताजिकशब्दवाच्यमेव ॥ अतएवैतैस्ताएव इक्कवालादयो यावंत्यः संज्ञा उपनिबद्धाः ॥
To this it is said: Yavanacharya made a science in the Persian language. It is one part of jyotisha (astrology). It gives many kinds of results, yearly and others. It is called by the word Tajika. Samarasimha and other Brahmins came after him and had studied grammar. They set that same science in Sanskrit words. That too is called Tajika. That is why they kept the same terms, ikkabala (all planets in strong houses) and the rest, as many as there are.
Simple meaning: What Tajika is: a Persian science of yearly results, later put into Sanskrit by Samarasimha and others, keeping its terms.
