Search the classical passages behind the readings. Ask in plain English and get back slokas and commentary from the Jaimini Sutras and Phaladeepika, each one carrying the book, author, and verse it came from.
English translation with full notes and original texts, by Bangalore Suryanarain Rao
The Jaimini system: chara karakas, arudhas, rasi drishti, and the sign based dasas. This is the backbone of the Atmakaraka and Karakamsa material on the site.
Mantreswara, English translation by V. Subrahmanya Sastri
A classical Parashari manual of results: house and sign effects, planetary yogas, dasa results, and the judgement rules that combine them.
Searching the sources tells you what the classics say. A reading tells you which of those rules are actually active in your chart, and when. Readings on Vedic Astro Bot cite the passages they lean on, so you can trace any claim back to this library.
It is a searchable collection of passages from classical Vedic astrology texts. Each passage is stored with its book, author, and verse reference, along with a plain English summary and a set of topic tags. It is the same body of classical material that Vedic Astro Bot's readings cite, so you can check the classical basis of a rule for yourself.
The library currently covers the Jaimini Sutras in the English translation with full notes by Bangalore Suryanarain Rao, and Mantreswara's Phaladeepika in the English translation by V. Subrahmanya Sastri. More texts are added over time.
You type a question in plain English and the search translates it into the library's own vocabulary. Common words are mapped to Sanskrit terms, so 'sun' finds Surya and 'aspect' finds Drishti, and house or domain words become filters such as marriage or wealth. Anything left over runs as a full text search. The page shows you exactly how each word was interpreted, so you can adjust your wording when a search misses.
No. The source search is free and open, with no sign up and no birth details required. An account is only needed if you want the passages applied to your own chart through a reading or a chat.
Classical Jyotish is not a single voice. Jaimini and Parashara traditions weigh the same chart differently, and commentators disagree with each other. Each entry records its tradition and source type so you can see who is speaking. Reading two conflicting rules side by side is the point of a source library rather than a flaw in it.
