Jātaka Pārijāta

जातकपारिजात

Vaidyanātha Dīkṣita (South India) · Completed Śaka 1347 = 1426 CE (author placed 14th–15th century) · jataka

What this text is

A late-classical synthesis counted among the tradition’s five great natal texts — currently unverifiable in our corpus copies.

About eighteen chapters: zodiacal fundamentals, planets and house lords in houses, extensive yoga chapters (including the daridra family), longevity and daśās.

Its role in this app

Should seat planets-in-houses, house-lords, daśā and longevity claims — but both corpus copies fail verification, so it currently reaches our records only indirectly (e.g., its daridra-yoga variants via Horāsāra’s translator notes, graded accordingly).

What our reading found

Findings from this project's own verification passes — recorded because a source's defects are part of citing it honestly.

Unverifiable in both corpus copies: vol. 2 covers chapters 10–18 only and its English is mojibake; the 1922 scan’s English is mojibake too. A readable vol. 1 is the corpus’s second acquisition wish.

Readings on this site cite texts at chapter level, with verse numbers only where our research verified the passage in a named edition. How conflicts between texts are resolved is documented on the conventions page.
