Praśna Mārga

What this text is

The most systematic horary treatise in the tradition — Kerala praśna practice codified in thirty-two chapters.

The aṣṭamaṅgala framework, query-chart judgment, the Chandra-kriyā/avasthā machinery, disease and possession diagnostics, longevity, marriage matching, and remedial prescription.

Its role in this app

The backbone of our praśna category (including the Chandra-kriyā formula pinned in tests), part of matching (its kūṭa chapters), and muhūrta material. Its stanza 50 gives eka-nāḍī a death register — one of three texts proving the popular "nāḍī doṣa harms progeny" claim has no classical seat.

What our reading found

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

The two Sanskrit scans are the same garbled text at the same offsets — usable to locate verses, never to quote them.
