PREFACE
 

 
This little book Śivasvarodaya, here in presented for the

first time with English Translation, is an ancient Sanskrit

planetary combinations and the signs of the zodiac he can

make scrupulously precise predictions about the success or

failure in any walk of life and for any purpose, both for

or nullify its generalisations. Personally however, I can say

with my personal experience that many of its precepts, if
