Notes from other books
- txt-frawley-astrology-seersFrawley: 'The identity of the Vedic star Revati, said to mark this position [first point of Aries], is a matter of dispute; nor is it easy to determine the point in time in which the vernal equinox was there.' This is exactly why the ayanamsha value is unsettled (see cal-ayanamsha). Role-attribution, not a root-text deity claim.
