A Sinhala-language book on two related branches of traditional astrology: thathkala, the reading of the moment itself, and nimithi, the interpretation of signs and omens. R.H. William sets out the subject in detail.
The practice described here is the one in which a person comes to an astrologer holding a matter in mind without disclosing it, and the astrologer states what that matter is. The publisher's description names this as the central task of thathkala and nimithi work, and the book treats it at length.
Published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Sinhala and English publishing house. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language — students of traditional Sri Lankan astrology, practitioners, and those collecting Sinhala works on the subject.
