Biography Edit

Śrīpati was born in Rohinikhanda in present-day Maharashtra, and lived during (c. 1019–1066.[1] His father was Naga-deva (sometimes written as Namadeva) and his grandfather was Kesava.[2]

Jyotiṣa-ratna-mālā Edit

Jyotiṣa-ratna-mālā (Jyotisha-ratna-mala) is a 20-chapter text on astrology, based on the Jyotisha-ratna-kosha of Lalla. Śrīpati wrote a commentary on this work in Marathi language: this is one of the oldest surviving Marathi-language works.[2]

Commentaries on this text include:

  • Balavaodha by Damodara Pandita[5]
  • Bala-bodhini by Parama-Karunika[6]
  • Bala-bodhini, a Rajasthani language tika, by Rayasimha or Rai Singh (c. 1573–1610), the ruler of Bikaner; the author may be same as Parama-Karunika[7]

Jātaka-paddhati Edit

Jātaka-paddhati, also known as Śrīpati-paddhatiḥ (Shripati-paddhati), is an 8-chapter text on astrology.[2]

According to David Pingree, the text is "one of the fundamental textbooks for later Indian genethlialogy, contributing an impressive elaboration to the computation of the strengths of the planets and astrological places. It was enormously popular, as the large number of manuscripts, commentaries, and imitations attests."[16]

Commentaries on this text include:

  • A tika on Jataka-karma-paddhati by Raghunatha[17]
  • A tika by Devidasa (fl. 1600–1625) of Kanyakubja[18]
  • Bhavartha-manjari by Achyuta (fl. 1505–1534)[19]
  • Hora-tantram Praibhasha, a Malayalam-language commentary[20]

Achyutha Pisharadi wrote Hora-sarochchaya, a 7-chapter adaptation of Jātaka-paddhati.[20]

Other Edit

Daivajña-vallabha, a work on astrology, concludes with excerpts from several works of Varaha-mihira. Some writers attribute this work to Varaha-mihiara,[2] but according to David Pingree, it is more likely to be Śrīpati's work.[21] Narayana wrote Subodhini, a Hindi-language version of Daivajña-vallabha (1905).[22]

The Manasagari or Janma-patrika-paddhati attributed to Kalyana Rishi (fl. after 1629) includes extensive quotations and adaptations of content from Śrīpati's Ratnamala and Shripati-paddhati[23]
