He was the king of a place called Vyaghrapada, believed to be somewhere in Madhya Pradesh. From the verses in this work it vs obvious that he has studied the works of Parashara, Varahamihira and Yavana etc before him, and as he felt that they were too brief, he decided to elaborate the principles. Saravali indeed is a monumental work and the study of it is a must for the serious students of astrology.

However what makes this edition great is the translations and most elucidating notings given by Sri S Santhanam, a modern day astrologer. The greatest portion of this book is the discussion of various grahas / plants in various rashis / signs. But like classic texts, Sri Kalyan Varma has given the phalam or results without reference to the Lagnas, which may change the results. Thus unless the Lagna is known, these results of grahas in rashis may not be of much use to us since change in Lagnas will change the effects of the grahas in a rashi. So Sri Santhanm has added a most critically important portion to every graha in every rashi - the effect from each of the 12 Lagnas. This makes things extremely clear and amazingly striking to the reader. Sri Santhanam's contributions in respect of his Notes is almost as great as the classic's. He is a modern-day astrologer and has made this classical treatise relevant to our times by giving modern day examples and illustrations. This book in two volumes is a must reading for every student and practitioner of astrology. It needs to be read and re-read times over for a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Vedic Astrology.
