1329Pingree has actually ridiculed these manuscript pages of Kasinath’s Lagnachandrika as utter gibberish and themethod of casting the nakshatras as a misinterpretation of the manuscripts and equated it with superstitiousmagical rituals.He [Pingree] also mentioned that Graha-chakra is referred to by Narapati in his workNarapatijayacryasvarodayah.However, I do have a curious mind and wanted to dig a little deeper into the understanding of the grahamchakras.First with the limited collection of texts I have in my personal library here in Chicago, I wanted to find areference to this kind of chakras. Fortunately I did find one. Before I proceed with the details of the reference, Ithought I should mention again the probable dates of the authors of various texts that refer to these grahamchakras.AuthorKasinatha BhattacharyaDateEarly 16 th century CE
