Śī󾱰 (शरीराधिका�) (lit. “regarding the body�) is the name of the eighth chapter of the ś—one of the earliest preserved Sanskrit works on Perso-Arabic (Tājika) astrology authored by Samarasiṃha in the 13th century.� Chapter 8 (śī󾱰) details the physical characteristics of a native on the basis of the ruler of the (ascending?) decan. While the descriptions of the seven planets (largely a reiteration of 2.6�8) are too general for their source to be positively identified, the material is not based on the works of Sahl or Abū Bakr already discussed. The text (8.1) states that it is taken from ‘Yavana� or possibly ‘the Yavanas�; the order in which the planets are presented, from Saturn to the moon, confirms an extra-Indian origin.
