Chapter 1 · Planets, Signs, Year Entry
ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अत्र ग्रहराशिस्वरूपषोडशयोगसहमासांगवर्षफलभावविचारदशाविभागगमनागमनाद्यनेकप्रश्नरूपास्ताजिकपदार्थाः प्रतिपाद्यंते न विषयभूताः । एषां पदार्थानां ताजिकग्रंथस्य च प्रतिपाद्यप्रतिपादकभावः संबंधः ॥
Here the Tajika topics are set out. They are the nature of planets and signs and the sixteen yogas (planet combination). They are the sahamas (special point for one life topic) and the year's results in all their parts. They are the study of houses, the division of the dasha (planet period), and many questions such as going and coming. These are set out; they are not mere subject matter. The link between these topics and the Tajika book is this: the topics are taught, and the book teaches them.
Simple meaning: Subject of the Tajika: planets, signs, yogas, sahamas, year results, houses, periods and questions; the book teaches them.
प्रयोजनञ्च भूतभविष्यद्वर्तमानशुभाशुभफलकथनम् ॥
Purpose: telling good and bad results for past, present and future.
उक्तंच नारदेन ॥
Narada on the purpose: to show the good and bad of the world.
अत्र शास्त्रे तु वर्षफलप्रश्नादिजिज्ञासुरधिकारी स च ब्राह्मण एव ॥
Who may study it: one who wants to know the year's results, a Brahmin.
