Suryanarain Rao was Raman's grandfather, one of the most esteemed Vedic astrologers of his day. In the preface to the 16th (last) edition, Raman states that A Manual of Hindu Astrology, Nirayana Tables of Houses, and his 110 Year Ephemeris are the essential tools for the scientific construction of horoscopes. This is a complete guide to the calculation of Vedic horoscopes, including divisional charts. It is also a guide & reference to Hindu concepts of time measurement (Vighatis, ghatis, etc.), sunrise & sunset calculation (when the sun is half-risen or set), instructions for the calculation of divisional charts, etc. A useful book.
