Krishneeyam Translated to English with references

[element5]

This is a rare Prashna Grantha which was written in 11th century by Shri Krishnacharya. The grantha was so important that the author of Prashna Marga quotes that one wearing the garland of Varahamihira in his neck along with the necklace of Krishneeyam can win laurels in any astrological assembly.

This Prashna grantha gained unequaled admiration and was quoted in later compositions like Prashnamarg, Vidhyāmādhaviyam and Rudra’s commentary on Vrihad Jataka. The Malayalam literary composition like ūnniyaccicaritam carries citation from this great grantha. The earliest mention can be cited from Shri Govinda Bhattatiri of ṭalakkulam (a.d. 1237-95) who quoted it frequently. Shri Vishnu the son of Mādhavaacharya has written the Sanskrit commentary caturasundari, which is included in this work. Sriyut Puliyur Puruśottam ṇambudiri wrote the Malayalam commentary.

NOTE: Translation from Caturasundari and verses from Jinendramāla, Vrihad jātaka, Bhuvan ḍeepika, Praśna Tantra, Vidhyāmādhaviyam, Ḍaivagya Bharnam, Saravali, Jātaka Parijat, Daśadhyāyi, Kevalgyanpraśnacoodamani, āroodhaphal and other important Jyotisha Granthas. An additional chapter with visual representation of Drekkana is added as annexure.

The book can be seen at amazon and other websites.
