515:. The ancient Hindu Sanskrit texts while economizing on words merely describe the many astrological principles as also the numerous planetary combinations and their results; they do not offer any explanation whether brief or detailed. The many later translators – cum – commentators did not attempt to provide the missing explanations, retained the original descriptions etc., illustrating them with birth-charts of persons of their own times. It is from these reliable texts that I have drawn needful information. Slightly cleaning up this page I have tried to make it readable but proper understanding of this topic is possible only if one knows this subject. Keeping in view the particular terminology and expression used by the relied upon authors I cannot further simplify this draft. You must co-relate this topic with other wiki- linked topics for better grasp of the intricacy so noticed. I have not presented this topic as factual. If I have erred do edit the unacceptable points.
