ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
उक्तञ्च यादवेन ॥"संक्षेपे संशयापेक्षे श्रोतुस्स्यातामसंशयः ॥वरीयान्विस्तरस्तस्मादपेक्षासंशयापहः" इति ।
And Yadava has said: When a work is short, two things arise for the listener: doubt and need. There is no doubt about this. So fullness is better. It removes need and doubt.
Simple meaning: Yadava on long books: a short work leaves the listener in doubt and in need. A full work is better.
अलमतिप्रसङ्गेन ॥ प्रकृतन्तावदनुसरामः ॥
Back to the subject: the side talk ends here.
अथ राशिस्वरूपमुक्तञ्च वामनताजिके ।
Why the signs come first: all results depend on signs and planets, so the signs are described first.
मेषो वृषोथ मिथुनं कर्कः सिंहोथ कन्यका ॥
The twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
