The Vakyam is an ancient system where planetary motions are described in simple sentences (hence the vakya name had come from Vakya means sentences). Vakya
Panchangam is computed based on Slokas or Vakyas given to the practitioners of this school.
In addition to the Slokas, there are also Sutras, which help to make simple additions and subtractions. The Slokas and Sutras together provide the formulae which is required for the preparation of the Vakya Panchangam.
Vakya Panchangam is Shastra based and accordingly has provisions to decide a ritual according to shastraas which I will explain through an example . Suppose one wish to check on Ekadasi, Dwadasi or Pradosham and such other things observance of religious rites etc, Vakya Panchangam is sufficient.
Astrologers who need to have as precise knowledge of planetary positions of day for astrological predictions, Vakya Panchangam may not be sufficient as there can be significant deviations between the positions.
