Dear Friends,

In the following verse of the Tantrāloka (28.42cd-43ab) of Abhinavagupta, I do not completely understand the expression bha-graha. The only thing I am sure is that this has to do with Jyotiṣa.

bhagrahasamayaviśeṣo nāśvayuje ko 'pi tena tadvarjam |

velābhagrahakalanā kathitaikādaśasu māseṣu ||

Can someone guide me? I apologise for being illiterate in Jyotiṣa and I did not get much help from the obvious basic sources either. I hope I am not missing something very basic.

Thanks very much in advance.

Mrinal
