Textual foundations and lineage followed by Prashna Online
Prashna follows classical Jyotish sources and principles.
No single text is treated as absolute; interpretation emerges from structured rule interaction.

Primary Sources
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
The foundational text for planetary meanings, strength systems, dashas, and chart interpretation.
Parashara’s framework forms the backbone of Prashna’s calculation and strength logic.
⸻
Jaimini Sūtras
A complementary system emphasizing signs, Arudhas, and alternate interpretive logic.
Jaimini principles are applied where appropriate and are kept distinct from Parashara-based logic.

Approach to Sources
- Classical rules are preferred over modern opinion.
- Conflicting rules are preserved, not hidden.
- Calculations are deterministic; interpretation remains reflective.
- No modern or speculative reinterpretations are imposed.
Prashna treats Jyotish as a structured analytical system, not a belief framework.
