Effects of studying Pāncangam and the results of pretending as ḍaivagya

He who makes a study of the Pāncangam that is the Tithī, the Vara, the Nakshatra, the Yoga and the Karana of every day becomes free from all sins. Knowledge of Tithī brings prosperity; knowledge of Vara prolongs life; knowledge of Nakshatra causes the destruction of sins; knowledge of Yoga gives immunity from disease; knowledge of Karana leads to success in all endeavours. Thus, “Pāncangam” bestows five kinds of blessing.

To the person who, without proper study of the authorities, professes to have a knowledge of astrology, administration of justice, penal laws, or medical science, is said to commit a sin of brahma hatyā.

He who pretends to a knowledge of any science without a careful study of the authoritative texts thereon-be he painter, poet, physician or astrologer -is condemned to hell, as long as the Sun and the Moon endure.

Note: Sri Tulasīdāsa and many prominent saints have predicted that only imposters of knowledge will get real prominence in Kaliyuga. Only Those pretending to be knowledgeable will be famous and admirable.
