Prasna Tantra[1] is a famous work of Neelakantha on Horary astrology.

[2] Neelakantha Daivagnya, the


author of Tajika Neelakanthi was the minister and court astrologer
of Mughal Emperor Jalaluddin Akbar. Prasna Tantra is based on the Tajika System of
prognostication. It comprises 430 slokas divided into 4 chapters, and is written in the
usual Sanskrit Sloka format. It is believed that this work, which is compact and comprehensive,
proven and applicable to modern conditions, is the Third Tantra or division of Neelakanthas larger
work, Tajika Neelakanthi. Prasna Tantra is divided into four chapters, viz Prasna Vichara
(preliminaries), Bhava Prasna (questions bearing on different houses), Vishesha Prasna (special
questions) and Prakirnakadhyaya (concluding remarks). The aspects considered by this work are
those of the Tajika system, an aspect by itself has no orb but planets have orbs of
operation; Yogas in this system arise on the basis of applying and separating aspects, the closer the
yoga (Ithsala etc.,), the more certain will be the results.[3] The rules and methods initiated by this text
have found favour with astrologers since the time it was written and came to light around 1580 A.D.
