🔱 Shiva's Words. Jyotiṣa & Daivajña. 🔱 This is a small excerpt from the manuscript translated by me. दैवज्ञं दैववत्पश्येत् नावमन्येत कर्हिचित् । हान्ति श्रेयांसि सर्वाणि दैवज्ञस्यावमानना ॥११॥ [Look upon a Daivajña as you would a divine being and never disrespect him. Disrespecting a Daivajña destroys all merits that one has earned.] यथा प्रकाशयेद्दीप समीपस्थ घटादिकम् । तथा प्रकाशयेलग्नं दैवज्ञाद्भाविकं फलम् ॥१२॥ [Just as a lamp illuminates nearby objects like a pot, so does a Daivajña illuminate the outcomes of one’s fate.] It has been noted that an individual often shifts from one astrologer to another, disparaging previous practitioners and voicing criticisms in the presence of others. Such individuals frequently find themselves without satisfactory answers and continue to search aimlessly due to their own actions. They remain oblivious to the fact that the jyotiṣa vidyā and the expertise of a Daivajña deserve respect; without this respect, obtaining answers to their inquiries becomes unattainable.
