: Journal of South Asian Intellectual History: Samarasiṃha and the Early Transmission of Tājika Astrology

ʰṛtⲹ󾱰 (प्रकृत्यधिका�) (lit. “regarding the native’s nature�) is the name of the thirteenth chapter of the ś—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.—The first few verses of chapter 13 (ṛtⲹ󾱰) bring us back to the topic of directions through the terms begun in chapter 10. Based on the same section of Abū Bakr’s work, they clearly demonstrate Samarasiṃha’s lack of understanding of the mechanics of direction (ٲī). [...] The remainder of the chapter is based on the immediately following section of the Kitab al-mawālīd, treating the moral character of the native. [...] As it stands, the ś (13.5�26) lists, in order, planetary configurations for courage, cowardice, irascibility, forbearance, shamelessness, bashfulness, eloquence, compassion, deceit and mendacity; further, for becoming a jester or entertainer, robber, thief, adulterer or adulteress, or a faithful husband; and finally, for generosity and greed.
