Ch. 1. Birth of Horāśāstra

1. Glory to the Sun-God, whose very breathing causes Creation in this world,
with whose rising all the animals (living beings) wake up (from the sleep of
their ignorance), whose state at the head (zenith) accentuates all activities
(throws the brightest light on one's wisdom) and whose setting (absence,
weakness) causes all to sleep. Such Sun-God has his efficacy spread (all
over).

2-4. Varaha Mihira in his Horāśāstra, i.e. Bŗhat Jataka, stated briefly the
essence of the teachings of the learned sages viz. ten divisions of the
Zodiacal Sign, Raja Yogas, longevity, effects of planetary periods etc. This
could not be done elaborately by him and hence I am conveying in this work
such useful essence, as called out from Yavanas etc., rejecting other
unuseful portions, which may be appended to the said Brihat Jataka.

5. I, Kalyana Varma, whose fame on account of patronizing Gods and

administering villages and cities is brilliant, like that of a female swan in the
cage of the universe, who is the king of Vyagrapada region, present this
Saravali, an astrological treatise, with a chaste heart.

6. Saravali is a river with chilly water, which has taken its birth in the mountain
called Kalyana Varma, to ward off the thirst for astrology of those interested.

Thus ends the 1st Ch. Birth of Horāśāstra in Kalyana Varma's Sāravalī

Ch. 2. Meaning of Horā

1-5. The Creator Brahma has written on the foreheads of all living beings
their fates, which are deciphered by the astrologers through their pure
insight. The first and last letters in the word Ahorātra are removed and the
word Horā is thus born and has come to exist. The Zodiac and the planets
are therein, as discussed. Some scholars say Horāśāstra is indicative of
effects of one's Karma, i.e. fate. Some call Lagna, or half of a Rāśi, as Horā.
In practice the science relating to horoscope is called Horāśāstra. Horā is
capable of analyzing the destiny. Barring this Horāśāstra there is no device
to help one earn money, to help, as a boat, to cross the ocean of unexpected
situations and to serve, as an advisor in journey.

Thus ends the 2nd Ch. Meaning of Horā in Kalyana Varma's Sāravalī
