On the dating: Often shelved with the classics; it is a systematized 19th-century digest of them, and our lineage counting treats it as such.
What this text is
Aphoristic natal rules (tattvas) — a prized 19th-century systematization of the classical corpus.
Natal sūtras arranged by topic: planets, houses, yogas, women’s charts, longevity.
Its role in this app
Digest corroboration for planets-in-houses, house-lords, yogas and women’s-chart material — counted as digest, never as an independent classical lineage, precisely because of its date.
