1) Jataka or Horoscopy,
2) Samhita
3) Astronomy- Pancha Sindhatika, Original Manuscrips were purchased by Bombay government, M Thibant, Phil, Dr and translated in to English with the help of Pundit Suddhakara.

and he has another document also names Yogayatra, and a Manuscript copy of this work was with Dr Kerne who was in Leydon, Holland 1885.

Translated in to English by M Chidambaram Iyer B.A.F.T.B. of the Tiruvadi Jotistantra Sabha, Madras, printed 1885. 

For correct predictions he says two things are important, 1) Knowledge of Astrology, and 2) Your yogic jnana should be awakened.
