In the 22nd part of the Mahabharata series, the first planetary nimitta told by Karna to Krishna soon after the comet 'stood' on Pushya is discussed. This nimitta is the most misinterpreted verse as the graha of Rohini, mentioned in the verse, is ignored by almost all researchers.
A similar verse appears in another chapter and also in the Valmiki Ramayana. It's about Saturn afflicting Rohini's graha, which is Moon, representing the living beings. This planetary position becomes a nimitta because this position affects the well-being of all living things, and therefore Vyasa brought in Prajapati, the lord of the living beings, and Rohini-associated Moon, that stands for living beings.
But
unfortunately, all the other researchers did the 'pick and fit' method and
either looked for Saturn in Rohini or some planet in Rohini. Expectedly, this
gave various dates. Request the viewers to watch this video to understand the
fundamentals of astrological terms used in the Mahabharata.
