The Laghu Parashari
Laghu means "little" and Parashari refers to the system of astrology expounded in the Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra, a massive tome said to have been authored by Rishi Parashara consisting of over 100 chapters
The Laghu Parashari is comprised of only 42 verses divided into four chapters and is written in the same shloka style as the larger text. Its authorship is unknown, as is the date when it was written. It is a condensation of the most important interpretive principles of the Parashari system, and its brevity lends itself to memorization.
In particular, a good portion of it is a very condensed version of the two chapters in Parāśara Horā having to do with yogakarakas and marakas. It therefore deals primarily with the timing of very fortunate periods on the one hand and quite unfortunate ones on the other, periods when a person suffers or even passes away. The verses in the text that provide a methodology for the use of the Vimshottari dasha for making accurate predictions are invaluable to any serious student of Jyoitsha.
