5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the Ranjan edition?, May 14, 2002
By 
This review is from: Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra : Guide to Hindu Astrology (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
Maha-rishis Parashara and Varamihira are the great ancient masters of Jyotisha. "The great scripture of astrology by Parasara Muni" is the fundamental text in Vedic astrology. It is the writing down of the ancient memorization phrases by which Jyotisha was taught for eons. Unfortunately it is not stated in this Amazon offering, which one, of the several currently available English translations of Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, this one is! I am partial to the Ranjan edition that is widely available in India, with Sanskrit shlokas alternating with English translation paragraphs. A must-have reference for any practicing Jyotishi.
