³Û²¹±¹²¹²Ô²¹ÂáÄå³Ù²¹°ì²¹ (यवनजातà¤�) (lit, “Greek Genethlialogyâ€�) refers to the first Sanskrit text which describes Greek astrology in a systematic way.—The original text (now lost in Greek) was first translated into Sanskrit prose in A.D. 149/150 and it was versified in A.D. 269/270 by one Sphujidhvaja. The prose version is no longer extant. Sphujidhvaja enumerates seven planets on many occasions, but it is only toward the end of the work (chapter 77) that the weekday order is attested. This order does not seem to have been widespread in that period in India. Neither RÄhu nor Ketu appears in the ³Û²¹±¹²¹²Ô²¹ÂáÄå³Ù²¹°ì²¹.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
