we shall now say a few . words touching the causes of

failure of astrological predictions( the most important of

these we will take up firat.

Astrology tFests on astronomy. The latter science was

probably in a good condition at the time of 4ibamarka.

The tables for the calculation of tlte p aces of the planets

which were then framed 5l then in use"were allsuited to the

time. 5wing probably to the wear and tear of the severalworking p$.rts of the whD>le machinery of the +olar system"

the tables of one age are unsuited to another age. To this

truth the ancient 2indu astronomers were keenly alive.

They have accordingly laid down this broad tule for the

guidarice of the future astronomers.
