ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
ननु सूर्यसिद्धांतादिग्रंथास्तु श्रौतस्मार्तकर्मविषयकाः कथमस्य ताजिकशास्त्रस्य श्रौतस्मार्तकर्मविषयकत्वं ॥
But one may ask: works like the Surya Siddhanta serve the rites of the Vedas and the Smriti (law books). How does this Tajika science serve those rites?
Simple meaning: A question: how does the Tajika help with sacred rites?
उच्यते ॥ "अष्टमे वर्षे ब्राह्मणमुपनयेत् षष्ठेऽन्नाद्यकामः"इति॥
Rite timing: the sacred thread at age eight, or at six for one who wants plenty of food.
तथा ॥
Marriage ages: a girl of eight is Gauri, of nine is Rohini; each gift brings a reward.
इत्यादिभिर्वाक्यैरुपनयनविवाहकाला अनेकेऽभिहितास्तेषां ज्ञानं झटिति ताजिकशास्त्रादेव जायते ॥
Why Tajika helps: it shows quickly the right years for the sacred thread and marriage.
