will be grateful. The reason this effort was done is, since today no Jaimini astrologer on internetknows even the names of 70 types of dasas nor has any astrologer on net forums or parampara forums ever evenmentioned 70 dasas of Jaimini inspite of concentrated upsurge in Jaimini astrology in internet forums inthe last 12 years. Obviously it does not take 12 years to reveal names & calculations of 70 dasas hence thispresumption by us.Kalpalataa was originally written by Shri Somnathacharya (for westerners – the word Shri inthe beginning of a male name is a salutation) in prose form. Shri Somnathacharya was the sonof Shri Krishnamishra – the author of yet another monumental work – Jyotish Phalaratnamalawhich is considered as a ‘Shastra in Itself’ and is not a mere book. Yours truly tried to locatethe correct meaning of Kalpalataa, but received indirect interpretations. Kalp [MüsmÉ] literally means time,a time equivalent to 4320,000,000 man years – for this is One day in the life time of Brahma – the creatorof this universe as per Hindu mythology. Kalpadruma [MüsmÉSìÓqÉ] happens to be a tree in Lord Indra’sparadise – a mystical tree. Yours truly assumes Kalpalataa [MüsmÉsÉiÉÉ] to be a wine in the heavens orparadise. Our author Shri Somanatha realized the depth and richness of Sage Jaimini’s Sutra’s. Sincethis is a mystical wine and in a heavenly space (infinity is the term), one is expected to come across avariety of flowers or rather bouquet of flowers in the form of teachings and knowledge as one climbs thiswine. Sounds interesting? Welcome dear friends to a journey where a student will come across hithertounknown knowledge and a variety of techniques un-revealed so far.May God bless all those who uphold the true tradition of the Sages.PrefaceAs written in Venkatacharya’s translation of Kalpalatta´ÉÏqÉiÉå sɤqÉÏ WûrÉaÉëÏuÉÉrÉ lÉqÉÈShrimate Laxmi Hayagrivaye NamahSalutations to Mother Laxmi the giver and sustainer of knowledge and to the 24 incarnationsof Lord Vishnu (Hayagriva happens to be one of these 24 incarnations).To Sage Jaimini, knower of all knowledge, GreetingsSir,Kalpalataa is one of the best treatises so far. This was handed down to me with the blessingsand goodwill of scientist and astrologer Shree Mathur Krishnamurty Shatri Ji who resides inRajamahendravaram.The original author of Kalpalataa is Shri Somnathacharya. Where Somnath Ji stayed isdifficult for me to say; only historians can reveal this secret?620
