into Tamil and since the book deals with astrology or Jyotish, the word ‘Jataka’.That means Jataka has been added and named as ‘Jataka Jambunatheeyam’. Gratitude ishereby acknowledged to those who have helped in bringing out this edition. I request the oldand the young alike to take only the essence of the writings leaving out the errors in writingor spelling and will appreciate the assistance of anyone who may be interested in improvingthis work. What is important to understand via classics which many new entrants and evenscholars at times miss is the underlying principle behind the Rishis statements, why he hassaid this statement, is there a basic principle he is trying to exhibit to us.
