Rama Daivajna: the Muhurta Chintamani
The standard North Indian book of times and marriage matching, kept on its own: the eight-part Ashtakoota and the points of each part as Rama himself scored them, the threshold of eighteen from the Muhurta Martanda, the classical exceptions, the widowhood rules and the 'marriage to a pot', and the short daily periods — with where modern calculators differ from the text. 3 chapters, 1,773 words.
- The book and its authorRama Daivajna's Muhurta Chintamani (about 1600) and his own commentary, the Pramitakshara; Narayana's Muhurta Martanda (1571); the editions read; and the place of these books as the standard North Indian authority on times and marriage.399 words
- The eight partsMC 6.21–34: the eight parts of the Ashtakoota in Rama's own order and scoring — varna, vashya, tara, yoni, graha maitri, gana, bhakoot and nadi — with the lists of each, the Pramitakshara's points, the Martanda's threshold, and where modern software scores differently.719 words
- Exceptions, widowhood and the daily periodsMC 6.32–37 and 6.7, and 1.37–39: the classical exceptions that cancel the bhakoot, gana and nadi faults; the widowhood rules, the 2–4–7–8–12 Mars verse in Rama's commentary, and the remedy of marriage to an image, a tree or a pot; and Rama's short daily periods.655 words
