Ch. 2. Meaning of Hora
1-5. The Creator Brahma has written on the foreheads
of all living beings their fates, which are
deciphered by the astrologers through their pure
insight. The first and last letters in the word
Ahoratra are removed and the word Hora is thus born
and has come to exist. The Zodiac and the planets
are therein, as discussed. Some scholars say
Horasastra is indicative of effects of one's Karma,
i.e. fate. Some call Lagna, or half of a Rasi, as
Hora. In practice the science relating to horoscope
is called Horasastra. Hora is capable of analyzing
the destiny. Barring this Horasastra there is no
device to help one earn money, to help, as a boat,
to cross the ocean of unexpected situations and to
serve, as an advisor in journey.
Thus ends the 2nd Ch. Meaning of Hora in Kalyana
