As a primary text of the tradition it sits at this atlas's top tier, meaning it authoritatively records what the classical system itself teaches, not that its predictive claims are true. Use it to establish what foundational Vedic astrological doctrine actually says. Its authorship is traditional attribution rather than a documented historical fact, and its transmission history across centuries of copying is a separate scholarly question a dedicated textual study would need to address.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (546 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedSage Parashara (attributed)PublisherWell-attestedRanjan PublicationsNew Delhi; publisher of R.
