A jyotiśhāstra is a text from a classical body of literature on the topic of Hindu astrology, known as Jyotiṣha, dating to the medievalperiod of Classical Sanskrit literature (roughly the 3rd to 9th centuries CE) Only the most important ones exist in scholarly editions or translations, such as the Yavanajataka (3rd century), Bṛhat Saṃhitā (6th century), Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra (7th century) or Sārāvalī (8th century), while many remain unedited in Sanskrit or vernacular manuscripts. Such classical texts should be distinguished from modern works. There are a great number of contemporary publications, reflecting the persisting importance of astrology in Hindu culture, and the corresponding economical attractivity of the market in India. Notable modern authors include Sri Yukteswar Giri (1855–1936), Bangalore Venkata Raman (1912–1998), V. K. Choudhry (b. 1951) or Sanjay Rath (b. 1963).

He cites the Bṛhat Saṃhita (1.9) for a traditional tripartite division of [1] subject matter which, in his view, does not cover the field adequately: samhitā: gaṇita: [1] [1] [1] omens [1] [1] astronomy [1] horā: astrology This classification is also found as follows: Siddhanta: Mathematical astronomy [citation needed] samhitā: Collective astrology (Mundane Astrology, Omens etc.) horā: astrology (Natal Horoscopy - i.e. Jataka, Interrogative astrology - i.e. Prashna etc.) Vasishta Hora (Sage Vasishta) 5.Types of texts[edit] Siddhanta Karana Kosthaka Misraka Ganita Jataka Muhurta Prashna Tajika Yatra Vivaha Nibandha Kosa Classical text Treatises on nativity 1.Koushika Hora (Sage Viswamitra) 7.Brihat Prajapatya (Daksha Prajapati) 3.Brihat Parasara Horashastra (Sage Parasara) 9.Skanda Hora or Jyotishmati Upanishad (God Brahma) 2.Lomasa Samhita (Sage Lomasa) .Garga Hora (Sage Garga) 6.Surya Hora or Surya Jatakam or Suryaruna Samvadam (Sage Surya) 10.Laghu Prajapatya (Daksha Prajapati) 4.Sounaka Hora (Sage Sounaka) 8.
