Śrīpati Paddhati

श्रीपतिपद्धति

Śrīpati · Mid-11th century CE (fl. c. 1019–1066) · jataka

What this text is

The computational backbone of later natal astrology — house cusps and planetary strengths, from the astronomer the "Śrīpati house system" is named after.

Eight chapters of computational genethlialogy: proportional house (bhāva) division, planetary and house strengths (bala), and the computed groundwork later predictive texts assume.

Its role in this app

Context witness for our house-system axis (whole-sign default with cusp systems selectable — Śrīpati is the classical proportional-bhāva source) and for strength-computation vocabulary.

What our reading found

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

No usable full-text copy — the important bhāva-computation content is effectively PDF-only in our corpus.

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.
