Table of
karaiias
■with'their
donalnants
and prog¬
nostics.
 

The Hindus attribute to some of the karctncts domi¬
nants, as is their custom. Further they give rules
showing what during each karctria must be done or not,
rules which are similar to collections of astrological
prognostics (as to lucky or unlucky days, &c.). If we
give here a second diagram of the kctrancts, we thereby
simply mean to confirm what we have said already, and
to repeat a subject which is unknown among us. Thus
it is rendered easy to learn the subject, because learning
is the fruit of repetition.
