Parashar21 - The Equinox Edition

Parashar21 reached a milestone today, with a version that has reached the limits of its current architecture.

The Rashi and Navamsha charts and the Vimshottari Dasha sequences are now being generated correctly — until, of course, an error is found. Gochar and Ashtakavarga are also being calculated, but for the moment I am leaving them outside the analysis and interpretation engine.

The NotebookLM-based interpretation engine now works with two clean text corpora, from Braha and Harihar Majumdar. Unless NotebookLM upgrades its underlying LLM, there is little more that I can do at that end. The interpretations are reasonable, and any further improvement will probably come from experimenting with better prompts.

At this stage, neither the computational engine nor the corpus can be meaningfully improved without changing the architecture itself. So this seems like a good place to stop.

And so, on the day of the Autumn Equinox, I offer this labour of love at the feet of Goddess Saraswati, with the hope that, with her grace, it may make its own small contribution to the advancement of this ancient science of Hindu India.
