May we be blessed with beatitude without end by that Supreme Reality — the one heavenly light without a second (the Sun), which when once above the horizon, remains on end in full view of the moon-dwelling manes, pole-dwelling celestials and the earth-dwelling mortals, for (i. e, which has for these beings a diurnal arc measuring) half a synodic lunar month, half a solar year and the entire day time of a solar nycthemeron respectively, and which sometimes (to wit, with northern declination under north polar heaven) is dextral (i. e., moves on almucantars from left to right), and sometimes (to wit, with southern declination under south polar heaven), sinistral (i. e., moves on almucantars from right to left).

the astrologer Mantreswara, first make my reverent obeisance to Saraswati-the Muse of Learning, to my family-deity, to my parents and teachers, to the nine planets beginning with the Sun, which bestow omniscience (viz., knowledge of past, present and future) to Ganesa, the lord of Siva's cohorts of divinities, and, above all, to Siva, the Supreme, and then proceed to give out here for the delectation of astrologers a very limpid conspectus of the teaching of Atri, Parasara and the rest, under the title "Phaladeepika" (= "Light on Apotelesmatics").

The exact time of the birth of a person with the actual number of Vighatikas elapsed as revealed by foot-measurement or by the gnomonic shadow and other apparatus should first be specially ascertained. Then the positions of the planets coincident with observation should be set down with the help of mathematical (expedients) instruments. Then the Bhavas and the strength of planets should be investigated and through them the effects should be judged.
