भक्त्या येन नवग्रहा बहुविधैराराधितास्ते चिरं सन्तुष्ताः फलबोधहेतुमदिशन्सानुग्रहं निर्णयम् । ख्यातां तेन पराशरेण कथितां संगृह्य होरागमात् सारं भूरिपरीक्षयातिफलितां वक्ष्ये महाख्यां दशाम् ॥ १॥
The nine planets who were worshipped in many ways with devotion for a long time by sage Parasara, having been pleased, bestowed upon him the knowledge of accurately dotermining their effects (on births in this world). Being convinced after many tests that they are unfailing, I tal.e out only the essence from the astrological scriptures containing his famous say. ings and set forth the famous 'Maha Dasa.'
