कृषि-पाराशर (महर्षि पराशर - प्राचीन भारतीय कृषि, मृदा-परीक्षण, वर्षा-पूर्वानुमान व बीज-संस्कार)

ii KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
technical matter contained in the present work; but from what it
says about meteorological forecasts of rainfall, about omens and
portents, about auspicious time for sowing and similar topics, which
preponderate, it seems to me that the work is more like a Sanskrit
version of the collective weather-wisdom of the popular vernacular
proverbs.
It is difficult for this, among other reasons, to fix an absolute date
from an examination of its contents. But the work appears to contain
much that is old, and will, therefore, appeal to those who are interested
in this subject of never failing interest.
