ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
निबन्धारचिताः पूर्वैः संहितास्ताजिकादिषु ॥न हायनफले तस्मान्निबन्धं कर्तुमुद्यतः ॥ ८ ॥
Earlier writers made digests on the samhitas (world events astrology), the Tajika and so on. But none was made on the year's results. So I set out to make a digest.
Simple meaning: Why this book: there was no digest on the year's results, so Balabhadra makes one.

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?
उक्तञ्च
Why state the purpose: a listener needs to know the subject and the purpose first.
