Jatakalankara is a brief Sanskrit treatise comprising of one hundred and ten slokas or verses on the predictive part of Hindu astrology written in the classic Sloka format in the Srgdhara meter.[1] It was written by Poet Ganesa, son of Gopal, in the year 1613 A.D. and describes many yoga-formations that have immediate bearing on various aspects of human life.[2] Its first translation into English was probably published, along with the original text, in 1941 by Sri Vijay Lakshmi Vilas Press.[3]In his book, Hindu Astronomy, P.D.Sharma has ascribed this text to one named Nikasa, whose exact identity does not seem to have been probed.[4] Ganesa examined the planetary influences on the health of individuals while observing that ritualistic remedia scriptures, medical and astronomico-astrological texts of instruction are propitiable as well as religious scriptures..[5] At the International Sanskrit Conference it was brought on record that Ganesa, son of Gopala, wrote this treatise in Vrddhapura (Vadanagara).[6]
