Ravan Samhita Ashwini Nakshatra by Rushikesh Despande

In English translations one rarely finds any classics wherein what would be the effect of each planet in every charan/pada of a nakshatra. Wouldn’t the planets give different results for each pada of a nakshatra it is stationed in, this question is often asked, but we find no answer? Some classics have given clues of different planets in different padas but it is rare to find them in a systematic manner. Presented below & in next 27 issues are the translations of it as given in available versions of Ravan Samhita. We are aware that certain variations can come in as authenticity of one of the oldest books of astrology such as Ravan Samhita is doubted as many versions are available & many lost.
