Portions of the Bhṛgu-Saṃhitā

Contents

Language(s): Sanskrit

Author:

A treatise on astrology in the form of a dialogue between Śukra and Bhṛgu.

The Makaralagna begins fol. 1v; The Mithunalagna begins fol. 1v of a new foliation (fol. 142v modern foliation); The Siṃhalagnamiśrita begins fol. 1v (fol. 240 modern foliation); The Karkalagna begins fol. 1v (fol. 319 v modern foliation) and ends fol. 57v (fol. 377).

The date given at the end of the last part (saṃvat 1840) is doubtless of the original Ms. The whole four parts are recent copies from Benares, deplorably and ludicrously incorrect. Other fragments of this late compilation are recorded in Mitra, Notices, v.221, 222; viii.98; Aufrecht, Florentine Catal., p.108; Madras Catal., xxiv. 9335-9337.
