Sage Vashita could not retaliate as he was a Brahma Rishi who has conquered anger. All of them were killed by a Rakshasa influenced by Sage Vishwamitra.
On the Authenticity of the (Modern) Brhad Parasara Hora Sastra discusses the problem of determining what constitutes the original corpus of the text and what has been interpolated by later authors.Brihat Parasara Hora sastra by Maha-rishi Parasara Brahma Rishi Vasishta was kul guru of Dasharatha Maha Raja of Ramayana.Translation and commentary Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra.Translation and elaboration Online Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra By Maharishi Parashara.Translations online (in English) [ Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra by Maharishi Parasara.Gonda (Ed.) A History of Indian Literature, Vol VI Fasc 4 (1981) ^ from Greek ὥρα, although the BPHS (4.1-2) states that the word originates from ahorātra 'day and night' after dropping its first and the last syllable.No critical and comparative edition has been brought out to fix the problem of authentic parts of this treatise. Hence, the second part had only 20 chapters, although all modern editions have more chapters in the second part and much more in the first part than claimed by the afore-cited Sanskrit verse. The same text says that there were 100 chapters originally. The first verse of the second part in the Khemraj Press edition says that the first part had 11000 verses in 80 chapters. The Khemraj Press edition contains a large body of unique materials, and although it has minimum number of chapters, it contains the largest number of verses: 5781 verses as compared to 4001 verses in Pt Sitaram Jha's edition. Pt Ganeshdatta Pathak also used many manuscripts and his text differs from that of Pt Devachandra Jha at few places. The text of Pt Devachandra Jha was based on a large number of complete and incomplete manuscripts.
It seems as if some modern expert of prosody rewrote this entire text. Pt Sitaram Jha claimed in his introduction that he introduced many new things and revised much old material in the manuscript, so that the version of Pt Sitaram Jha is completely different from all other versions in syntax, although almost all verses carry same meanings. The text prepared by Pt Sitaram Jha based on the manuscript supplied by Pt Jeevanath Jha was later used by all English translators and only this version is available online. Currently, four versions of this treatise are available (all other editions use the text of Pt Sitaram Jha's version): by Khemraj Press, by Pt Sitaram Jha, by Pt Devachandra Jha, and by Ganeshadatta Pathak.
