Brihat Jataka from time immemorial has been considered as the standard textbook on Astrology. The commentaries by Bhattotpala have made Brihat Jataka immortal and a standard work. The English translation of Varaha Mihira’s Brihat Jataka is a monumental work in completing which the difficulties in translating a beautiful, technical and suggestive work in Sanskrit had to be surmounted by hard labour, profound research and want of adequate expressions. This is not mere a translation work; the ripe experience of Mr. Rao for over 60 years in the field of astrology and his sound judgement on doubtful points have substantiated its value further.
