DESCRIPTION
The Brihat Samhita of Varha Mihira is an encyclopaedia of astrological and other subjects of human interest. Whatever subject the author takes up for delineation, whether it is eclipse, planetary movements, rainfall, cloud, architecture, water-divination or some other topic he discusses the same with throughness and mastery based on the knowledge of action sastras. Wherever he differs from ancient he gives reasons for it.
