Comment: From 1935, this was not B.V. Raman's first book. (In his Preface to the first edition, he mentions previously writing Hindu Predictive Astrology, though the earliest date in that book is 1938.) B. Suryanarain Rao was Raman's grandfather, one of the most esteemed Vedic astrologers of his day. In the preface to the 16th (last) edition, Raman states that A Manual of Hindu Astrology, Nirayana Tables of Houses, and his 110 Year Ephemeris are the essential tools for the scientific construction of horoscopes.
This is a complete guide to the calculation of Vedic horoscopes, including divisional charts. It is also a guide & reference to Hindu concepts of time measurement (Vighatis, ghatis, etc.), sunrise & sunset calculation (when the sun is half-risen or set), instructions for the calculation of divisional charts, etc.
