sured upon the ecHptick. But, if they be represented 

 on a circle, it must be a moveable one in the plane of 

 the echptick, 



AsTOLOGERs also rcckoH twenty-eightj'o^^?^, which 

 correspond to the twenty-eight Nacshatras ox divisions 

 of the moon's path ; varying, however, according to 

 the day of the week. As the Indian Almanacks some- 

 times appropriate a column to the moon's jvo^^ for each 

 day, I shall insert in a note a list of \.h.tst yogas ^ with 

 the rule by which they are determined *. 



* 1 Ananda. 2 Caladanda. 3 Dhumra. 4 Prajapati. 5 

 Saumya. 6 Dhwancsha. 7 Dhwaja. 8 Siivatsa. 9 Vajra, 10 

 Mudgara. 11 Ch'liatra. 12 Maiira. 13 Manasa. 14 Padma. 

 15 Lambuca. l6 Utpiita. IJ Mrityu. 18 Cana. 19 Sidd'hi. 

 20 Subha. 21 Amrita, 22 Musula, 23 Gada. 24 Matanga. 

 25 Racshasa. 26 Cliara. 27 St'hira. 28 Pnivard'ha. 



The foregoing list is extracted from the RatnamdU of SRipAxr. 

 He adds the rule by which xheyiigas are regulated. On a Sunday, 

 ihc Nacshatras answer to the y!>gai, in their natural order; viz. 

 As'dcini to Ananda, Bharani to Culandanda, kc. But, on a Monday, 

 the first y<>ga (AriandaJ corresponds to Mrlgasiras , the sesond to 

 Ardra^ and so forth. On a Tuesday, the Nucshatra, which answers 

 to the first _)',^^a, \% Asleshu , on Wednesday, Hasta; on Thursday, 

 ■ Anuradha \ on Friday, Uttar.'.shdd'da ; and on Saturday, Satabhishd, 



Almanacks usually contain another set of astrological divisions 

 of the lunar month, which it may be proper to explain. They are 

 denominated Carana ; and consist of seven variable and four inva- 

 riable, as in the subjoined list. 



Variable Car anas. Invariable Cardnas.
