आद्याकृपयासादितबोधलवः किमु सुचेतसां हृह्यम्।
प्रणवमभिनवम जुलवचनं कुरुतेऽत्र गोपिकारमणम् ।।
The fertile ground of this present work was prepared somewhere in 1998-99 A.D when I was writing commentary on the Taazika Neelkanthi.
During the course of the commentary, at many occasions, I encountered with scanty of the needed description in the textbook, even if, the author Neelkantha of 16th century AD was having a rich series of Taazika classics of the Aacharyas and the seers.
Remaining confined then to the limitations of the original text, I made up my mind for saying something in a critical maaner especially useful for grasping the essentials of the Taazika Principle.
However the idea was lost into the crowd of my continuous series on Vedic Jyotisha including the commentaries on almost all famous Jyotisha-classics, original Sanskrit compendiums with their Hindi commentaries and many books in Hindi and English as well for the welfare of sincere students. In the meantime, I kept churning the Taazika classics regularly. Available in my family collection and received occasionally from several contributors.
In 2018, Pro. Priyavrat Sharma, a renowned scholar of Siddhanta Jyotisha of Martanda-Panchanga fame, bounded with a natural affection to this man, sent a big manuscript on the subject from his own collection with a strong persistence to write on the Taazika principle also and to go through the manuscript having a command-note in Sanskrit. It was written in Vikram Samvat 1936-37 (1879-80AD). His note is:
संशोध्य सम्पाद्य व्याख्याय च दैवजलोकोपकाराय प्रकाश्यताम्। (ताजिकम्)
डा. सुरेशचन्द्रमिश्रेभ्यः समर्पितमेतत् । रत्नं रत्नेन संगतम् ।।
After completion of the Mishra's Indian Ephemeris 2025 and the Advance Epehemeris for 2026-2050 (available in January 2025) I started writing on the subject on September 10, 2024, 11:30 hrs in the Delhi city and now the book completes on an auspicious day of Devotthaana Ekaadashai (November 12, 2024) at 16:00 hrs in the Meena lagna with The Moon and potent Itthashaala between Mercury and Jupiter respectively in Vrishchika and Vrisha rashis in Delhi.
The Taazika principle having its roots in the Rigveda, Manadala 1, Sukta 164, is not an imported principle of Vedic Jyotisha. The Sukta (Hymn) fully describes the yearly cycle of our earth, the Panchadhikaari (five office-bearers) stating the year as 'Pancha-Paadam Pitaram', the twelve months indicating significance of the month-charts as 'Dwadashaaram Nahi Tajjaraya and the seven Grahas important for annual analysis 'Sapta Chakre Shadam Aahuharpitam The following Mantra from the Hymn has some implied sense providing a potent clue to the significance of the moment of beginning of the year. In the Hora branch where the birth moment forms the basis of all predictions and manifestations for the native, the commencing moment of a new year also possesses an equal significance. The Mantra is:
सप्त युञ्जन्ति रथमेकं चक्रमेको अश्वो वहति सप्तनामा।
त्रिनाभि चक्रमजरमनर्वं यत्रेमा विश्वा भुवनानि तस्थुः ।।
That is: 'the chariot of the Sun, pulled by seven horses (seven Grahas creating perturbation to the Sun's celestial position) even, is fixed indeed, but it looks circumnutating because of the Earth's motion. All beings survive under the auspice of the seven Grahas and the cycle.
Yaska states in his Nirukta, the word Ratha in the Mantra is an anagramatical form of Sthira and that establishes one full circuit of earth around the Sun, the sole cause of a year formation.
