ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
दामोदरस्य तनयौ जातौ बलभद्रबलिरामौ ॥बलभद्रेण च किञ्चित्प्रकाश्यते ताजिकं गुरोः कृपया ॥७॥
Damodara had two sons, Balabhadra and Baliram. By the teacher's grace, Balabhadra sets out something of the Tajika (the Persian-style yearly-chart system).
Simple meaning: The author: Balabhadra, son of Damodara, explains the Tajika by his teacher's grace.
निबन्धारचिताः पूर्वैः संहितास्ताजिकादिषु ॥
Why this book: there was no digest on the year's results, so Balabhadra makes one.
हिल्लाजखत्तखुत्तार्यखिन्धिरोमकसम्मतम् ॥
Sources: Balabhadra follows Samarasimha, as agreed by Hillaja, Khattakhutta, Khindhi and Romaka.
ननु किमभिधेयकमिदं शास्त्रं प्रयोजनञ्च किम् ॥
A question: what is this science about, and what is it for?
