Part B of Book 5 deals with three significant matters, the Birth Time Rectification, Naṣṭajātakam and the birth in different time elements. Accurate assessment of a Janmakuṇḍalī is dependent on accurate birth time. However, not in all cases, the birth time is accurately recorded. Unless there is someone present to record the birth time for casting Jyotiṣa Kuṇḍalī, likely, the birth time is off by 5 to 30 minutes.

Besides, the birth time is affected by changes in time zone, wartime, local meantime, local standard time, daylight savings time etc. When the birth time is inaccurate, the Kuṇḍalī is also approximate. If one wishes to make use of higher Vargas such as Ṣaṣṭhyāñśa, or lower-level Daśās, such as the Prāṇa or Deha Daśā, the birth time must be precise. Therefore, the recorded birth time must be rectified using the rules stated in the Jyotiṣa canon.

Even though this is an important topic, a structured method of rectifying the birthtime is hardly found. The Jyotiṣa classical texts contain several principles to verify the Lagna; however, there is a general lack of a systematic approach to bring them together under one umbrella. Maharṣi Parāśara talks about Prāṇapada and the birth of humans, Praśnamārga talks about Kunda, Maharṣi Jaimini talks about Janmavighaṭi, Uttarakālāmṛta talks about the method of determining male or female birth. Other classics such as Jyotiṣa Siddhāntammu talks about Tattva and Antartattva correction, which is based on Svaraśāstra. The book provides a structured approach to integrate these principles to arrive at the rectified birth time.
