Chapter 1 · Planets, Signs, Year Entry
ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
उक्तंच नारदेन ॥"प्रयोजनं तु जगतः शुभाशुभनिरूपणमि"ति
And Narada has said: 'The purpose is to show the good and bad of the world.'
Simple meaning: 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.
उक्तंच वसिष्ठेन ।
Vasishtha: astrology is a holy science for Brahmins; it brings wealth, right living, freedom and fame.
ननु यवनाचार्य्यप्रणीतेक्कवालादिपारसीशब्दात्मकस्य ताजिकशास्त्रस्याध्यापनमेव तावदनभिहितम् ॥ अध्ययनं तु दूरादपास्तमेव ॥
An objection: the Tajika uses Persian words, so teaching and studying it seem not allowed.
