Moonga

The gemstone Coral is called Moonga in Hindi and Pravaal in Sanskrit. Coral is a gemstone of organic variety and is mined from the undersea coral reefs. Corals are used as remedial gemstones for different planets depending on their colours but the most popular use is of the Red and Sindoori varieties as the remedial stones for Mars.
Navamsa

Navamsa is the ninth division of the planetary degrees. Nav=Nine, Amsa=Part. Each sign is divided into nine parts where each part is of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Then, depending on the placement of the planets in these divisions a new chart is created which is called the Navamsa.
Nirayan
Nirayan is derived from two words of Sanskrit. Nir = Without, and Ayan or Anayamsa = The angle of the tilt of the earth's axis.

Jyotish does not take into consideration the Ayan while calculating the horoscopes therefore this method is called Nirayan method of astrology.
