Jyotihsastra is traditionally divided into 3 skandhas or branches: hora or genethlialogy & other forms of horoscopic astrology, ganita or mathematics & mathematical astronomy, & samhita or divination. The related fields to which attention is paid in this study are cosmology & geography (largely of the Jainas) & those aspects of dharmasastra that involve the determination of the proper times for the performance of ritual acts. This vol. contains in their initial form the list of abbrev. of journals & series, the biblio., the list of mss. catalogues, & the articles concerning authors whose names begin with a, i, u, r, l, e ai, o, & au.
