PAEFACE

It har already been mentioned in preface to ths
first volume of {his book translated by my learned
colleague Shri R. Santhanam that as.Shri Maha Vishnu is
tae god of gods, Parasara flora is the book of books
in the field of Astrology. Nothing better could be said
about this great classic of Hindu Astrology.

Due to the persistent approach of the publishers
and non-availability of Mr. Santhanam due to his pre-
occupation for the last three years, I had to take up this
stup€ndous task of English translation of
present
volume of this great work.

Thebook BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA
ie made up of 97 chapters, 45 of which have already been
published as Vol.I. I have grcat pleasure in presenting
herewith the English translation, with comments' illustra-
tions and illustrative charts, of the remaining 52 chaptcrs"
The contents ofthese 52 chapters havc been given infull
dotail in the Table of Contents"
,

But for the grace. of God and thc oonstant
Gncouragcment and asiqtance by the publishers of this
book, it would not have becn possible to compldte this
difficult aad etupendous task. I hopo this effort will
prove useful to the readers.
