The equinoctial day (viṣuvat) is Celestial Pole mentioned in Aitareya-brāhmaṇa (18.4). (South) Methods to compute the nth equinox is available in Vedāṅga-jyotiṣa. ẓ िूिा In this manner, the ancient seers endowed with divine insight have explained the causes of the eclipses. Hence the shastric fact is that the demon Rahu is not at all the cause of eclipses. - Brihatsamhita 5.13 मुहूतापचन्द्तनम् वज्याापन नर्क्रापि - ज्यष्ठाराायमकृ पिकोरगमघािूवाापवशााासुराः । ❖ ज्यष्ठा, आराा, िरिी, कृ पिका, आश्लषा, मघा, िूवाा फाल्गुनी, िूवााषाढा, िूवाािारा, पवशााा, मूला । वज्यााः वासराः – मङ्गलवासरः, शपनवासरः । ताराबलम् 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 जन्द्म सम्ित् पवित् र्क्म प्रत्यररः साधकः वधः पमरम् िरमपमरम् Bad Good Bad Good Bad Good Bad Good Good Find your Janma Nakshatra (Birth Star).
