The Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra (BPHS, hora is a loanword in Sanskrit, taken from Hellenistic astrology) is a foundational compilation of Indian astrology.
It is a composite work of 71 chapters, of which the first part (chapters 1-51) dates to the 7th to early 8th centuries and the second part (chapters 52-71) to the later 8th century.
An English translation was published by N.N. Krishna Rau and V.B. Choudhari in 1963 (in two volumes).
