Navgrahaganita sutra

Navgrahaganita sutra
Nine-planet counting treatise

by Carl Axel Järvengren


I bow to the Jina, who has attained salvation, has infiniteness (of knowledge, conation, bliss, and energy), is sense-imperceptible, is incomparable in the world, is blessed with spiritual bliss, is free from all types of passions like anger, greed and lust, and has vanquished the darkness of all perverse standpoints by his light of omniscience. 1.


The Moon revolves and orbit one time meanwhile Earth spins 24 times, this is the main pradesa (time-space point) count unit among the navgraha (nine planets). 2.


Tha orbit period for each of navgraha is as follows.

Buddh (Mercury)          3

Shukra (Venus)             8

Bhygol (Earth)            12

Mangal (Mars)            24 (2*12)

Guru (Jupiter)           144 (12*12)

Shani (Saturn)           324 (27*12)
