This book is about the Dashamsa which the author describes as the Mahat Phalam of Karma. The author has collected many rare gems on this topic and presented them in the form of this wonderful book. This book deals with the subject in great depth. The author has dwelled into detail on the Profession of the native and given various rules to identify what work the native will do to sail through this world of Maya (illusion).
