तथा च यवनाचार्यप्रणीतं संस्कृतोपनिबद्धं जातकशास्त्रं यवनजातकाख्यं दृश्यते ॥ तथैव ब्रह्मणस्सकाशात्पारम्पर्यवशेन ताजिककर्तृत्वमप्यस्य स्मर्य्यते।
So too, a jataka (birth chart reading) work by Yavanacharya, set in Sanskrit, is seen. It is called Yavana Jataka. In the same way, it is remembered that he made the Tajika too, handed down in a line from Brahma.
Simple meaning: Yavanacharya: he wrote the Yavana Jataka in Sanskrit, and the Tajika came down from Brahma through him.
उक्तञ्च रोमकेन ॥
Romaka: the Tajika came from Brahma to the Sun, then to the Yavana.
अन्येपि ताजिकाचार्या उक्ताः टोडरानन्दे ॥
Other Tajika founders: Khattakhutta, Romaka, Hillaja, Dhishana and Durmukhacharya.
अथच ज्योतिःशास्त्रफलम्पुराणकैरादेश्यमित्युच्यत इति सिद्धान्तस्मरणात् ।
A settled view: the results of astrology are told as the ancients gave them.
