The Jaimini System of Astrology upon which these studies are based, marks the definite departure from the canons of Parasari or the general system of Astrology now in vogue throughout in India. It cannot be maintained however that Jaimini and Parasari are at complete variance from each other or they are two distinct systems. On the contrary, it seems reasonable to suppose that Jaimini is merely an offshoot of the general scheme of the astrological science propounded by Parasara, for in the works of Parasara and Vriddhayavana, frequent references are to be found to the specific and distinct methodology employed by Jaimini.
Jaimini has certain special features especially bearing on longevity and Dasa interpretation furnishing fresh material for the research-minded. The information given in this book has been based on all the four chapters of the Sutras and has been tested by the author on several horoscopes. In these studies, the author has endeavoured to make available, in compact and simple form the leading facts or concepts of Jaimini Principles. Certain aspects of Jaimini such as Dasas, Ayurdaya, etc. which have hitherto remained obscure, have been dealt with exhaustively and their significance have been shown.
