Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Varaha Mihira's Birhat Jatak from time immemorial has been considered as the standard textbook on Astrology. The commentaries by Bhattotpala have made Brihat Jataka immortal and a standard work. The English translation of Varahamihira's Brihat Jataka is a monumental work in completing which the difficulties in translating a beautiful, technical and suggestive work in Sanskrit had to surmounted by hard labour, profound research and want of adequate expressions. There are several translations of this matchless book into English available in the market. But Prof. Rao's translation has been acclaimed not only as authentic, based mainly on the commentaries of Bhattopala but also as embodying in the notes, Prof. Rao s vast practical experience in the field of astrology. It is hoped that this translation, out of print for a long time, will supply a long-felt want to the vast number of astrological students and savants, for an authoritative presentation of Varaha Mihira s treatise in simple English. It is not mere a translation work; the ripe experience of Mr. Rao for over 60 years in the field of Astrology and his sound judgment on doubtful points have substantiated its value further.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 5th or later Edition. Jaimini is held in very great esteem throughout India not only for his philosophical aphorisms but for his astrological writings also. Jaiminisutras as presented in these pages deal with a system of astrology that has no parallel in the existing methods. The profundity and brevity of these sutras comprehend a vast amount of knowledge in the shortest forms possible. In the end the author remarks that all that he has written is quite true, as these truths have been propounded by the still earlier Maharshis, Pitamaha or Brahma, Vyasa, Parasara, Vasistha, Garga, Bhrigu, Surya, Chandra, Brihaspati, Sukra, Marichi, Palaha, Pulisa, Maya and other eminent scientists. The treatment of the different Bhavas, Rasis and Planets will be found a little confusing in the beginning but with some patience, diligence and practice the peculiarities of his system readily yield themselves to our comprehension. He gives various Lagnas, Hora Lagna, Ghatika Lagna, Upapada Lagna, Varnada Lagna and so forth. His Dasas are mostly founded on Rasis and Navamsas. Brahma, Rudra and Mahesvara Dasas are peculiar in these sutras. It is asserted by some that Jaiminisutras extend over eight adhyayas. However here only two chapters, in four parts each, have been explained. The masterly way in which the Maharshi has explained the Astrological principles, will surely make the students masters in this line. (jacket).

Map
Heliozincograph in colour, dissected into 42 sections and mounted upon original linen, list of petrol stations and newspaper distributors printed to verso, with only orange paper back cover remaining (Very Good, overall bright and clean, missing paper front cover), 115 x 98 cm (45.5 x 38.5 inches). Early Automotive Map / Madras Imprint: Very Rare an attractive, large format work that represents one of the earliest automotive maps of the Madras Presidency (today's Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh), showing roads fit for cars and gas stations, created from the best sources at the Madras Survey Office under the supervision of the Tamil cartographer, Rao Bahadur M. Raman Avargal. This attractively rendered map embraces the Madras Presidency, the British colonial jurisdiction that encompassed all Southern India, including all of most of today's states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The map has the distinction of being one of the first maps of Southern India created specifically to aid the drivers of automobiles, as through the 1920s were gradually gaining a greater presence on the region's roads. The map was published by the Madras Survey from the very best official information, drafted under the supervision of Rao Bahadur M. Raman Avargal, a Tamil cartographer, who served as the Assistant Director of the Survey. The Automobile Era revolutionized travel in Southern India, allowing journeys into the interior (away from the railway lines) that previously took days by horse and cart to be accomplished in only a matter of hours. However, as the present map indicates, the new means of transport required a massive infrastructure boom, upgrading roads to make then suitable for cars, as well as the creation of a networks of petrol stations. The 'Reference', below the title, lower right corner, explains the symbols used to describe the region's travel network; showing Divisional Boundaries (orange lines); the locations of various levels of local government offices; Railways; Traveler's Bungalows; Trunk Roads (in Bold Green Lines, being fit for motor traffic, while all others are not); regional roads fit for motor traffic (Bold Red Lines), while the others are not; and the locations of 'B.O.C. Petrol Depots' (Green Triangles); as well as places distributing the Madras Mail newspaper. The inset in the lower left, 'Enlargement of Nilgiris', highlights the Nilgiri Hills, with the town of Ootacamund, a lovely mountain resort area much favoured by British colonial grandees. This official map was primarily intended to aid travelling senior civil servants and military officers who had access to automobiles but would also have been available to the few very wealthy private citizens who could afford cars. Indeed, while through the 1920s automobiles became more common in India, only a tiny sliver of the population could ever hope to travel in, let alone own, a car. Thus, this map wass geared to very select, niche audience. A Note on Editions and Rarity - The map was issued by the Madras Survey in 3 editions, in 1926, 1929 (being the present example) and 1936. All editions are extremely rare, as they would have had only a very small print run due to the small audience of people who had access to automobiles; moreover, the survival rate of such large maps made for use in the field in India is very low. We can trace only a single institutional example of any of the editions, being an example of the 1936 held by the Royal Danish Library (Copenhagen). Beyond that, we are aware of an example of the 1926 edition as having once appeared on the market. The archaic style of the title cartouche is due the fact that the present map was modified from. a pre-automobile era transport map of the Madras Presidency, published in Calcutta by the Survey of India, in 1896 (re-issued in 1909). References: N/A No examples of the present 1929 ed. recorded. Cf. (1936 ed.:) Royal Danish Library (Copenhagen): KBK 8-668 2009-190; OCLC: 788891776.
