Maansagari is amongst a few ancient treatises which was composed in the primeval time. Although the exact origin of this text is not known, some scholars trace it to the 16th century. This astrological text however, has assumed remarkable importance for its unique and special treatment accorded to the intricate and complex features of this pristine monograph. Most of its assertions and expositions were so original, fundamental and creative in character that the learned astrological seers defined this peerless Grantha as Maansagari Paddhiti. This text holds a most distinguished position amongst the great ancient astrological classics whose innovative and rare principles and dictums became most efficacious oracles and authoritative predictive tools. These pronouncements are believed to be based on Parasari and Bhrigu schools of thought.
