The authors of the treatises on science and art in our country who have proved the sharpness of their intellect and the soundness of their judgment in their voluminous works have all of them uniformly accepted the potency of the moment. The science of astrology is older than Rāmāyana. Jațăyu tells Rāma, Rāvana has carried away Sita, no doubt; but the Muhurtă in which this has taken place is the Muhūrta called "Vinda' and things lost in this muhürta are sure to be recovered.'
