But since Jaimini-astrology is so much different from the usual Parasari-concept some further explanation is needed. However, a deep and serious study leaves the impression that there is a huge and superior intelligence behind these sutras. Naturally, this has lead to some errors and misunderstandings in the different translations and commentaries.
The sutras in themselves are very short and concise in composition and a kind of coded language has been used.
In many cases the meaning of these sutras are very confusing and difficult to understand. The knowledge that we have on Jaimini Astrology today is based on an ancient text known as Jaimini Sutras, which is divided into four chapters or Adhyayas, where this unique system of Hindu astrology has been explained in about 1000 sutras.
