This book carries a brief narrative of the Jyotish Shastras as described in the "Parashar Hora" (Shat-Addhya), on knowledge, behaviour, or the notified effects. The Dasas and the Dasa effects are largely premised on Prashar Hora and the same formats are adopted by the other writers of such texts which is evident from the Shalokas like below:

Shaloka 28/17 of Brihat Jataka said:

"विरचितमन्यैः शास्त्रपेतत्समस्तंतदनु लघुमयेदं तक्ष्प्रवशार्थमेवर।"

Meaning thereby, that the Garanthas were written by the others after studying all the scriptures and bringing them out in a Lagu form. The clear meaning of this is that Sage Varaha Mihira has prearranged this treatise in a gist form. In context with 'Pindayu Dasa' Varahmihira described 'Parashar' as "Shaktij" (son oh 'Shakti'). (b.j. 7/1). There is a reference to 'Parashar' in 'Saravali'. (s.v. 54/12). Similarly, 'Khan-Khana' has adopted it (Khet Kotumkam ½). In Jatak Parijatak (1/2), it is adopted after giving veneration to 'Garga' and 'Parashar'. In Ayur Adhaya (j.p. 5/2), the same rituals are followed. Similar factors are indicative in Jataka Sara Deep (1/2), Phala Deepika [(1/2), and (19/1)]. Hora Ratna has the reference of Parashar Hora and Parashar Jataka related to 'Bhavas', (h.r. 1653). Besides, there are great similarities in the Vimshotri Dasa system, in 'Bhargav Nadika'. The Ududaya Pradeep, (Lagu Parashari) completely follows Parashar Hora. 'Jatak Tatwa is the compilation from Parashar hora, 'Lomesh Samhita, etc. In this way, many ancient writers followed 'Parashar Hora'.
