The querist should say: I want to ascertain the span of my life, the past, the future and the present, the auspicious and inauspicious events. I want to hear all these through your mercy.

The Jyotishi should begin in a good Muhurta, when Candr and her Nakshatr are beneficially disposed and give a written account to the querist of his longevity etc.

The Rasi Mandala (i.e. the firmaments), the Grahas and the movements are well effective. The Jyotishi and the Kala Purush shall be duly presented.

The entire work is constructed by me after studying the several Shastras of the ancestors. The essence has been abridged for increasing the wisdom of the readers and should there be anything inconsistent, the noble may forgive me.

Just, as Candr was taken out of the (Milk) ocean by churning with the Mandara mountain, I have produced this essence after riddling the ocean of Jyotish.
