Era and context

A classical Sanskrit text on natal astrology attributed to Kalyana Varma. It is best known for its detailed treatment of yogas — specific planetary configurations and their effects.

Why it matters in our writing

When our articles name a yoga (Gajakesari, Ruchaka, Neechabhanga, etc.) and describe its expected texture, the descriptions are grounded in Saravali first, then triangulated against Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. It is the source we lean on most heavily for writing about combinations of planets rather than single placements.
