DEVAKERALAM – CHANDRAKALA NADI - Chart 2
By Guru Rajesh Kotekal
Dear friends,
“The Sanskrit text of
Devakeralam has its own problems in its current form. Portions of some
horoscopes are incomplete or mixed up, while same horoscopes have been
explained at multiple places. Devakeralam requires thorough study, re-editing,
re-interpretation and re-translation. The initial step would be to group the
text according to the different horoscopes described. Then the conventional and
Nadi Amsa analysis applied in the interpretation of the horoscopes are to be
documented and separated into different categories based on the techniques
employed. The next step includes the extraction of general rules from this
study. Finally, these rules have to be applied on real-life horoscopes to check
their veracity.” With this statement I had concluded my article series
‘Decoding Devakeralam’.
Accordingly I have taken up the
job of re-editing, re-interpretation and re-translation of the text. Here I am
presenting the English translation of the slokas. This is a draft translation
and does not include the deductions and interpretations. As I said earlier,
some charts are explained at multiple places.
I have translated every sloka where the chart appears in the first instance and in the subsequent places, I have translated only the slokas which give extra information or differ from the first. It can be seen that the internal information within the slokas will help rectify many corruptions in the Sanskrit text and sometimes better meaning emerges when the text of different places is compared. I know this is a huge project and it may take much time to finish. And perhaps, no publisher may come forward to bring out the entire re-translation.
Hence, I am sharing my work as and when it progresses. THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION. This entire translation is hoped to form the basis of a book where specific astrological rules applicable for horoscopic analysis will be explained. I believe this endeavour of mine will add value to the extant astrological literature and the learned astrological fraternity will welcome it.
THE AVAILABLE ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY LATE SH R. SANTHANAM DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE NADI HAS BEEN DISCUSSING COMPLETE CHARTS, THUS LOSING THE SPIRIT AND PURPORT OF THE SLOKAS.
