Description: The Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira (505 A.D.) is an encyclopaedia of Indian Culture in general and astrological lore in particular. 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 it with thoroughness and mastery based on the knowledge of ancient sastras. Wherever he differs from the ancients, he gives reasons for it.
