*Indian astrology refers to the system of practical astology derived from the Abridged Tantra of the Wheel of Time ([[Laghukālacakratantra]]), in which calculations are made concerning exact planetary positions ([[gza' dag]]), calendar dates ([[tshes grangs]]), lunar constellations ([[zla skar]]), the conjunctions of the lunar constellations with the exact solar position ([[sbyor ba]]), and the so-called eleven functionary conjunctions of the planets ([[snga phyi byed pa bcu gcig]]). Nine distinct Tibetan lineages of this tantra have been differentiated by Dr Tshul-khrims rgyal-mtshan in Bod kyi rtsis rig kun 'dus chen mo, Vol. 1, pp. 69-282, and it was on the basis of of these textual traditions that the Phug-pa school was founded by mKhas-dbang Nor-bzang rGya-mtsho and Phug-pa Lhun-grub rGya-mtsho, the authors of the Oral Transmissions of the White Lotus: Mother and Sons ([[Pad dkar zhal lung ma bu]]) during the fifteenth century. Their lineage, which was further elucidated in the seventeenth century by Sangs-rgyas rGya-mtsho, the author of White Beryl ([[Vaiḍūrya dKar po]]), is also known as the accurate system or tradition of calendrical astrology ([[rnam par dag pa'i rtsis]]). See also above, Introduction, pp. 00-00 and Part I, pp. 00-00. [[GD]] (from the Glossary to [[Tibetan Elemental Divination Paintings]])
