Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

[Guest guest]

Dear List Members,

Some time back a Russian link was told by Das for BPHS, copy was on my computer.

It Is for all,

Inder Jit Sahni

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

 

Chapter 1

 

The Creation

 

 

I prostrate before the lotus-feet of Lord Vighneswara,

offspring of Uma, the cause of destruction of sorrow, who

served by Mahabhutas (the five great elements of the

universe) etc; who has the face of a tusker and who

consumes the essence of Kapittha and Jambu fruits.

 

1-4. Offering his obeisance to all-knowing Maharishi

Parashar and with folded hands, Maitreya said:

 

"O Venerable Maharishi, Jyotish, the supreme limb of the

Vedas, has three divisions, viz. Hora, Ganita, and Samhita.

Among the said three divisions, Hora or the general part of

Jyotish is still more excellent. I desire to know of its

glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me, how this

Universe is created? How does it end? What is the

relationship of the animals born on this earth with the

heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately".

 

5-8. Maharishi Parashar answered, 'O Brahmin, your query

(so to say the desire to know of the intricacies of

Jyotish) has an auspicious purpose in it for the welfare of

the Universe. Praying Lord Brahma and Shri Saraswati, His

power (and consort), and Surya the leader of the grahas,

and the cause of Creation, I shall proceed to narrate to

you the science of Jyotish as heard through Lord Brahma.

Only good will follow the teaching of this Vedic Science to

the students who are peacefully disposed, who honour the

preceptors (and elders) who speak only truth and are God

fearing. Woeful forever, doubtlessly, will it be to impart

knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a

heterodox, and to a crafty person.

 

9-12. Shri Vishnu who is the lord (of all matters), who has

undefiled spirit, who is endowed with the three gunas,

although he transcends the grip of gunas (i.e. Gunatita),

who is the Author of this Universe, who is glorious, who is

the Cause and who is endowed with valour has no beginning.

He authored the Universe and administers it with a quarter

of his power. The other three quarters of Him, filled with

nectar, are knowable only to the philosophers (of

maturity). The Principal Evolver who is both perceptible

and imperceptible in Vasudeva. The Imperceptible part of

the Lord is endowed with dual powers, while the Perceptible

with triple powers.

 

13-15. The three powers are: Shri Shakti (Mother Lakshmi)

with Sattva-gun, Bhoo Shakti (Mother-Earth) with Rajo-gun,

and Neel Shakti with Tamo-gun. Apart from the three, the

fourth kind of Vishnu, influenced by Shri Shakti and Bhoo

Shakti, assumes the form of Shankarshan with Tamo-gun, of

Pradyumna with Rajo-gun, and of Anirudh with Sattva-gun.

 

16-17. Mahattatwa, Ahamkar, and Ahamkar Murti, and Brahma,

are born from Shankarshan, Pradyumna, and Anirudh

respectively. All these three forms are endowed with all

the three gunas, with predominance of the Gun due to their

origin.

18-19. Ahamkar is of three classes, i.e. with Sattvic,

Rajasic, and Tamasic dispositions. Divine class, sensory

organs and the five primordial compounds (space, air, fire,

water, and earth) are respectively from the said three

Ahamkaras.

 

20. Lord Vishnu,coupled with Shri Shakti rules over the

three worlds. Coupled with Bhoo Shakti, He is Brahma

causing the Universe. Coupled with Neel Shakti, He is

Shiva, destroying the Universe.

 

21-24. The Lord is in all beings and the entire Universe is

in Him. All beings contain both Jivatma and Paramatmamshas.

Some have predominance of the former, while yet some have

the latter in predominance. Paramatmamsh is predominant in

the grahas, viz. Surya, etc., and Brahma, Shiva and others.

Their powers or consorts too have predominance of

Paramatmamsh. Others have more of Jivatmamsh.

 

Chapter 2

 

Great Incarnations (Of The Lord)

 

 

1. Maitreya: "O Maharishi Parashar, are the incarnations

of Vishnu, viz. Shri Ram, Shri Krishn, etc., endowed with

Jivamsh?

 

2. Maharishi Parashar: "O Brahmin, the four incarnations,

viz. Ram, Krishn, Narasimh, and Varah are wholly with

Paramatmamsh. The other incarnations (than these, out of

the ten) have in them Jivamsh too.

 

3-4. The Unborn lord has many incarnations. He has

incarnated as the 9 grahas (Nava Grahas) to bestow on the

living beings the results due to their Karmas. He is

Janardan. He assumed the auspicious form of grahas to

destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine

beings.

5-7. From Surya the incarnation of Ram, from Chandr that of

Krishn, from Mangal that of Narasimh, from Buddh that of

Buddha, from Guru that of Vaman, from Shukr that of

Parashuram, from Shani that of Kurma (Tortoise), from Rahu

that of Varah (pig), and from Ketu that of Meen (Fish)

occurred. All other incarnations than these also are

through the grahas. The beings with more Paramatmamsh are

called divine beings.

 

8-13. The beings with more Jivatmamsh are (mortal) beings.

The high degree of Paramatmamsh from the grahas, viz.

Surya, etc., did incarnate as Ram, Krishn, etc.. After

completing the mission, the Paramatmamshas (of the

respective) grahas again merge (in the respective) grahas.

The Jivatma portions from the grahas take births as human

beings and live their lives according to their Karmas and

again merge in the grahas. And at the time of Great

Destruction, the grahas as well merge in Lord Vishnu. One

who knows of all these, will become versed in the knowledge

of the past, present, and future. Without a knowledge of

Jyotish these cannot be known. Hence, everyone should have

a knowledge of Jyotish particularly the Brahmin. One who,

devoid of knowledge of Jyotish, blames this Vedic Science

will go to the hell called 'Raurava', and will be reborn

blind.

Chapter 3

 

Grah Characters and Description

 

1. Maitreya: "O Maharishi, you have affectionately

explained about the incarnations of grahas. Now kindly

detail their characters and dispositions.

 

 

2-3. Parashar: "O Brahmin, listen to the account of

placement of the heavenly bodies. Out of the many luminous

bodies sighted in the skies, some are stars; yet some are

grahas. Those that have no movements are the Nakshatras (or

asterisms).

 

 

4-6. Those are called 'Grahas' that move through the

Nakshatras (or stellar mansions) in the zodiac. The said

zodiac comprises of 27 Nakshatras commencing from Ashvini.

The same area is divided in 12 parts equal to 12 'Rashis'

commencing from Mesh. The names of the grahas commence from

Surya. The rashi rising is known as 'Lagn'. Based on Lagn

and the grahas joining and departing from each other, the

native's good and bad effects are deducted.

 

[addition from Santhanam till sloka 7]

The names of the 27 Nakshatras are:

 

1. Ashvini 15. Swati

2. Bharani 16. Vishaka

3. Krittika 17. Anuradha

4. Rohini 18. Jyeshtha

5. Mrigasira 19. Mula

6. Ardra 20. Purvashadh

7. Punarvasu 21. Uttarashadh

8. Pushya 22. Shravana

9. Aslesha 23. Dhanishtha

10. Magha 24. Satabhisha

11. Purvaphalguni 25. Purvabhadra

12. Uttaraphalguni 26. Uttarabhadra

13. Hasta 27. Revati

14. Chitra

The names of the grahas are given in sloka 10 of this

chapter.

 

 

Lagn is a very important point in the horoscope. It is the

rashi that rises in the east, on the latitude of birth. The

apparent rising of a rashi is due to the rotation of the

earth on its own axis at a rate of motion causing every

degree of the zodiac seemingly ascend on the eastern

horizon.

 

Approximately, two hours are required for a rashi to pass

via the horizon, thereby every degree taking four minutes

to ascend. This duration, however, is actually dependent on

the concerned latitude.

 

 

Actually, Surya has no motion. His motion is an apparent

one as viewed from the rotating earth. Other grahas

including the nodes have varied rates of motion. The

average daily motions of the grahas, which are not, however

standard, are as follows:

 

Surya 1

Chandr 13-15

Mangal 30-45'

Buddh 65-100'

Shukr 62-82'

Guru 5-15'

Shani 2'

Rahu/Ketu 3'

 

With such different motions, a grah forms various drishti's

with others. These drishti's through longitudinal distances

have a great deal of utility in Jyotish. This is what

Maharishi Parashar suggests to be considered.

 

7. Details (of astronomical nature) of stars have to be

understood by general rules while I narrate to you about

the effects of grahas and rashis.

8-9. The positions of the grahas for a given time be taken

as per Drikganit. And with the help of rashi durations

applicable to the respective places, Lagn at birth should

be known. Now, I tell you about the castes, descriptions,

and dispositions of the grahas.

 

 

10. Names of grahas: The names of the nine grahas

respectively are: Surya, Chandr, Mangal, Buddh, Guru,

Shukr, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu.

 

 

11. Benefics and Malefics: Among these, Surya, Shani,

Mangal, decreasing Chandr, Rahu, and Ketu (the ascending

and the descending nodes of Chandr) are malefics while the

rest are benefics. Buddh, however, is a malefic if he joins

a malefic.

 

[addition from Santhanam till sloka 12-13]

When Chandr is ahead of Surya but within 120, she has

medium strength. Between 120 to 240 she is very auspicious,

see ('Atishubhapred'). From 240 to O she is bereft of

strength. This is Yavanas' view, vide P. 70 of my English

Translation of Saravali. This view is, however, related to

Chandr's strength or otherwise, while waning Chandr

(Krishna Paksh or dark half Chandr) is a malefic and

waxing Chandr (Shukla Paksh or bright half Chandr) is a

benefic.

 

Should Chandr be Yuti with a benefic or receiving a

drishti from a benefic, she turns a benefic, even if in a

waning state.

 

As regards Buddh, we have clear instructions from Maharishi

Parashar, that he becomes a malefic if he joins a malefic.

 

If waning Chandr and Buddh are together, both are

benefics.

 

 

12-13. Grah governances: Surya is the soul of all. Chandr

is the mind. Mangal is one's strength. Buddh is

speech-giver, while Guru confers Knowledge and happiness.

Shukr governs semen (potency), while Shani denotes grief.

 

 

14-15. Grah cabinet: Of royal status are Surya and Chandr,

while Mangal is the army chief. Prince-apparent is Buddh.

The ministerial grahas are Guru and Shukr. Shani is a

servant. Rahu and Ketu form the grah army.

 

 

16-17. Complexions of grahas: Surya is blood-red. Chandr is

tawny. Mangal who is not very tall is blood-red, while

Buddh's hue is akin to that of green grass. Tawny,

variegated, and dark are Guru, Shukr, and Shani in their

order.

 

 

18. Deities of grahas: Fire (Agni), Water (Varuna),

Subrahmanya (Lord Shiva's son following Ganesh). Maha

Vishnu, Indra, Shachi Devi (the consort of Lord Indra),

and Brahma are the presiding deities of the 7 grahas in

their order.

 

 

19. Gender of the grahas: Buddh and Shani are neuters.

Chandr and Shukr are females, while Surya, Mangal, and Guru

are males.

 

 

20. Primordial compounds: The Panchabhutas, space, air,

fire, water, and earth, are respectively governed by Guru,

Shani, Mangal, Shukr, and Buddh.

 

 

21. Castes of grahas: Guru and Shukr are Brahmins. Surya is

a royal grah while Chandr and Buddh belong to commercial

community. Shani rules the Sudras (4th caste).

 

 

22. Sattvic grahas are the luminaries and Guru; Shukr and

Buddh are Rajasik; while Mangal and Shani are Tamasic

grahas.

23. Description of Surya: Surya's eyes are honey coloured.

He has a square body. He is of clean habits, bilious,

intelligent and has limited hair (on his head).

 

 

24. Description of Chandr: Chandr is very windy and

phlegmatic. She is learned and has a round body. She has

auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickle-minded and

very lustful.

 

 

25. Description of Mangal: Mangal has blood-red eyes, is

fickle-minded, liberal, bilious, given to anger and has

thin waist and thin physique.

 

 

26. Description of Buddh: Buddh is endowed with an

attractive physique and the capacity to use words with many

meanings. He is fond of jokes. He has a mix of all the

three humours.

27. Description of Guru: Guru has a big body, tawny hair

and tawny eyes, is phlegmatic, intelligent and learned in

all Shastras.

 

 

28. Description of Shukr: Shukr is charming, has a

splendourous physique, is excellent or great in

disposition, has charming eyes, is a poet, is phlegmatic

and windy, and has curly hair.

 

 

29. Description of Shani: Shani has an emaciated and long

physique, has tawny eyes, is windy in temperament has big

teeth, is indolent and lame and has coarse hair.

 

 

30. Description of Rahu and Ketu: Rahu has smoky appearance

with a blue mix physique. He resides in forests and is

horrible. He is windy in temperament and is intelligent.

Ketu is akin to Rahu.

31. Primary ingredients (or Sapth dhatus): Bones, blood,

marrow, skin, fat, semen and muscles are respectively

denoted by the grahas: Surya, Chandr, Mangal, Buddh, Guru,

Shukr, and Shani.

 

 

32. Abodes of the grahas: Temple, watery place, place of

fire, sport-ground, treasure-house, bed-room and filthy

ground: these are respectively the abodes for the seven

grahas from Surya onward.

 

 

33. Grah periods: Ayan, Muhurta, a day (consisting day and

night), Ritu, month, fortnight and year: These are the

periods allotted to the grahas from Surya to Shani.

 

 

34. Tastes of the grahas : Pungent, saline, bitter, mixed,

sweet, acidulous, and astringent are respectively tastes

lorded by Surya, Chandr, Mangal, Buddh, Guru, Shukr, and

Shani.

35-38. Strengths of grahas: Strong in the east are Buddh

and Guru. Surya and Mangal are so in the south, while Shani

is the only grah that derives strength in the west. Chandr

and Shukr are endowed with vigour when in the north. Again,

strong during night are Chandr, Mangal, and Shani while

Buddh is strong during day and night. The rest (i.e. Guru,

Surya, and Shukr) are strong only in daytime. During the

dark half malefics are strong. Benefics acquire strength in

the bright half of the month. Malefics and benefics are

respectively strong in Dakshinayan and Uttarayan. The lords

of the year, month, day, and Hora (hour of grah) are

stronger than the other in ascending order. Again, stronger

than the other in the ascending are: Shani, Mangal, Buddh,

Guru, Shukr, Chandr, and Surya.

 

 

39-40. Related to trees: Surya rules strong trees (i.e.

trees with stout trunks). Shani useless trees, Chandr milky

trees and rubber yielding plants), Mangal bitter ones (like

lemon plants), Shukr floral plants, Guru fruitful ones and

Buddh fruitless ones.

41-44. Other matters: Rahu rules the outcaste while Ketu

governs mixed caste. Shani and the nodes indicate anthills.

Rahu denotes multi-coloured clothes and Ketu rags. Lead and

blue gem belong to Rahu and Ketu. Surya, Chandr, Mangal,

Buddh, Guru, Shukr, and Shani in their order govern red

silken, white silken, red, black silken, saffron, silken,

and multi-coloured robes.

 

 

45-46. Seasons of grahas: Vasanta, Greeshma, Varsh, Sarad,

Hemanta, and Sisir are the six Ritus (or seasons)

respectively governed by Shukr, Mangal, Chandr, Buddh, Guru

and Shani. Rahu and Ketu denote 8 months and 3 months

respectively.

 

 

47. Dhatu, Mool, and Jiva Divisions:

Dhatu grahas are Rahu, Mangal, Shani and Chandr, while

Surya and Shukr are Mula grahas. Buddh, Guru, and Ketu rule

Jivas.

48. Age: Out of all the grahas Shani is the eldest (i.e.

with the highest age). He bestows maximum number of years

in Naisargik Dasha.

 

 

49-50. Exaltation and Debilitation: For the seven grahas

from Surya on, the exaltation rashis are respectively Mesh,

Vrishabh, Makar, Kanya, Kark, Meen, and Tula. The deepest

exaltation degrees are respectively 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27,

and 20 in those rashis. And in the seventh rashi from the

said exaltation rashi each grah has its own debilitation.

The same degrees of deep exaltation apply to deep fall.

 

 

51-54. Additional Dignities: In Simh the first 20 degrees

are Surya's Mooltrikon while the rest is his own bhava.

After the first 3 degrees of exaltation portion in

Vrishabh, for Chandr, the rest is her Mooltrikon. Mangal

has the first 12 degrees in Mesh as Mooltrikon with the

rest therein becoming simply his own bhava. For Buddh, in

Kanya the first 15 degrees are exaltation zone, the next 5

degrees Mooltrikon, and the last 10 degrees are own bhava.

The first one third of Dhanu is the Mooltrikon of Guru

while, the remaining part thereof is his own bhava. Shukr

divides Tula into two halves keeping the first as

Mooltrikon and the second as own bhava. Shani's

arrangements are same in Kumbh as Surya has in Simh.

 

 

55. Natural Relationships: Note the rashis which are the

2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, and 12th from the Mooltrikon of a

grah. The grahas ruling such rashis are its friends, apart

from the lord of its exaltation rashi. Lords other than

these are its enemies. If a grah becomes its friend as well

as its enemy (on account of the said two computations) then

it is neutral or equal.

 

 

56. Temporary Relationships: The grah posited in the 2nd,

3rd, 4th,10th, 11th, or the 12th from another becomes a

mutual friend. There is enmity otherwise. (This applies to

a given Janm Kundali).

57-58. Compound Relationship: Should two grahas be

naturally and temporarily friendly, they become extremely

friendly. Friendship on one count and neutrality on another

count make them friendly. Enmity on one count combined with

affinity on the other turns into equality. Enmity and

neutralship cause only enmity. Should there be enmity in

both manners, extreme enmity is obtained. The Jyotishi

should consider these and declare horoscopic effects

accordingly.

 

 

59-60. Ratio of Effects: A grah in exaltation gives fully

good effects while in Mooltrikon it is bereft of its

auspicious effects by one fourth. It is half beneficial in

its own bhava. Its beneficence is one fourth in a friendly

rashi. In an equal's rashi one eighth of auspicious

disposition is useful. The good effects are nil in

debilitation or enemy's camp. Inauspicious effects are

quite reverse with reference to what is stated.

 

61-64. Non-luminous Upagrahas (Sub-grahas): Add 4 rashis

13 degrees and 20 minutes of arc to Surya's longitude at a

given moment to get the exact position of the all

inauspicious Dhoom. Reduce Dhoom from 12 rashis to arrive

at Vyatipat. Vyatipat is also inauspicious. Add six rashis

to Vyatipat to know the position of Parivesh. He is

extremely inauspicious. Deduct Parivesh from 12 rashis to

arrive at the position of Chap (Indra Dhanus) who is also

inauspicious. Add 16 degrees 40 minutes to Chap which will

give Ketu (Upaketu) who is a malefic. By adding a rashi to

Upaketu, you get the original longitude of Surya. These are

the grahas devoid of splendour which are malefics by nature

and cause affliction.

 

 

65. Effects of Sub-grahas: If one of these afflicts Surya,

the native's dynasty will decline, while Chandr and Lagn

respectively associated with one of these will destroy the

longevity and wisdom. So declared Lord Brahma, the

lotus-born.

66-69. Calculations of Gulik, etc.: The portions of Surya

etc. up to Shani denote the periods of Gulik and others.

Divide the day duration (of any week day) into eight equal

parts. The eighth portion is lord-less. The seven portions

are distributed to the seven grahas commencing from the

lord of the week day. Whichever portion is ruled by Shani

will be the portion of Gulik. Similarly, make the night

duration into eight equal parts and distribute these

commencing from the lord of the 5th week. Here again, the

eighth portion is lord-less while Shani's portion is Gulik.

Surya's portion is Kaal, Mangal's portion is Mrityu, Guru's

portion is Yamaghantak, and Buddh's portion is Ardhaprahar.

These durations differently apply to different places

(commensurate with variable day and night durations)

 

70. Gulik's Position: The degree ascending at the time of

start of Gulik's portion (as above) will be the longitude

of Gulik at a given place. Based on this longitude only,

Gulik's effects for a particular nativity be estimated.

 

71-74. Calculation of Pranapad: Convert the given time into

vighatis and divide the same by 15. The resultant rashi,

degrees, etc. be added to Surya if he is in a movable rashi

which will yield Pranapad. If Surya is in a fixed rashi,

add 240 degrees additionally and if in a dual rashi add 120

degrees in furtherance to get Pranapad. The birth will be

auspicious if Pranapad falls in the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 4th,

10th, or 11th from the natal Lagn. In other bhavas,

Pranapad indicates an inauspicious birth.

 

Notes: Ardhaprahar, Yamaghantak, Mrityu, Kaal, and Gulik

are the 5 Kaal Velas, suggested by Maharishi Parashar. The

day duration according to altitude is divided into eight

equal parts. The eight portion is unlorded. The first

portion is allotted to the weekday lord. Other portions

follow in the order of week-day lords. We consider 5

portions of grahas ignoring that of Chandr and Shukr. The

portions of Surya, Mangal, Buddh, Guru, and Shani are

respectively called , Mrityu, Ardhaprahar, Yamaghantak,

and Gulik.

In the case of night, the durations or 1/8th parts are

allotted in a different order. The first portion goes to

the grah ruling the 5th weekday lord counted from the day

in question. The others follow in the usual order. Here

again, the 8th part is lord-less. The portions of grahas

from Kaal to Gulik are the same in nomenclature, in the

night also.

 

 

Keeranuru Nataraja of Jatakalankaram (Tamil version) gives

rashis of dignities for these Upagrahas and Gulik, etc..:

 

Upagrah Exaltation Debilitation Swakshetra

& Gulik, etc. (own rashi)

 

Dhoom Simh Kumbh Makar

Vyatipat Vrischik Vrishabh Mithun

Parivesh Mithun Dhanu Dhanu

Indrachap Dhanu Mithun Kark

Upaketu Kumbh Simh Kark

Gulik - - Kumbh

Yamaghantak - - Dhanu

Ardhaprahar - - Mithun

Kaal - - Makar

Mrityu - - Vrischik

 

>From Surya to Shani, no one is exalted in the above

mentioned exaltation rashis, nor debilitated in the above

mentioned debilitation rashis.

 

Out of the 5 Kaal Velas, viz. Gulik, etc. four except Kaal

(related to Surya) have their own rashi system in the

respective rashis ruled by their fathers. Gulik, son of

Shani, has Kumbh as his own bhava. Guru's son, Yamaghantak,

has it in Dhanu. Ardhaprahar, Buddh's son, is in own rashi

if in Mithun. Mrityu, son of Mangal, has Vrischik as own

bhava. It is not known why Kaal, a son of Surya shifted to

Makar, a rashi of his brother (Shani) leaving his father's

Simh . Obviously, Shani has given his Mooltrikon to his son

Gulik while he gave Makar (a secondary rashi) to his

'brother' Kaal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 4

 

Zodiacal Rashis Described

15-16 1/2. Tula described: Tula is a Seershodaya rashi

rising with its head; Tula is strong in daytime. It is

black in complexion and is predominant with Rajo-gun. It

relates to the western direction and resorts to land. It is

destructive or mischievous ('Dhatin'). It represents Sudras

or the 4th Varna. It has a medium build physique and is a

biped rashi. Its lord is Shukr.

 

 

Vrischik described:

Vrischik has a slender physique and is a centipede rashi.

It denotes Brahmins and resides in holes. Its direction is

north and is strong in daytime. It is reddish-brown and

resorts to water and land. It has a hairy physique and is

very sharp (or passionate). Mangal is its ruler.

 

 

17-18 1/2. Dhanu described: The rashi Dhanu rises with its

head and is lorded by Guru. It is a Sattvic rashi and is

tawny in hue. It has strength in night and is fiery. A

royal rashi, Dhanu is biped in first half. Its second half

is quadruped. It has an even build and adores an arch. It

resides in the east, resorts to land and is splendourous.

 

 

19-20. Makar described: Makar is lorded by Shani and has

predominance of Tamo-gun (a disposition seen in demons). It

is an earthy rashi and represents the southern direction.

It is strong in nights, and rises with back. It has a large

body. Its complexion is variegated and it resorts to both

forests and lands. Its first half is quadruped and its

second half footless moving in water.

 

 

21-21 1/2. Kumbh described: The rashi Kumbh represents a

man holding a pot. Its complexion is deep-brown. It has

medium build and a biped rashi. It is very strong in

daytime. It resorts to deep water and is airy. It rises

with its head and is Tamasic. It rules Sudras, the 4th

Varna, and the west. Its lord is Shani, Surya's offspring.

 

 

22-24. Meen described: Meen resembles a pair of fish, one

tailed with the head of the other. This rashi is strong at

night. It is a watery rashi and is predominant with

Sattwa-gun. It denotes resoluteness and is a

water-resorter. It is footless and has a medium build. It

rules the north and rises with both head and back. It is

ruled by Guru. This is how the twelve rashis each of 30

degrees extent are described to evaluate gross and specific

effects.

 

 

25-30. Nishek Lagn: O excellent of Maharishis, now is a

step explained to arrive at the Nishek Lagn when the natal

Lagn is known. Note the angular distance between Shani and

Mandi (Gulik). Add this to the difference between the Lagn

bhava (Madhya or cusp) and the 9th bhava (cusp). The

resultant product in rashis, degrees, etc. will represent

the months, days, etc. that elapsed between Nishek and

birth. At birth if Lagn lord is in the invisible half

(i.e. from Lagn cusp to descendental cusp) add the degrees,

etc. Chandr moved in the particular rashi occupied by her

to the above mentioned product. Then, Lagn at Nishek can be

worked out and the good and bad experienced by the native

in the womb can be guessed. One can also guess, with the

help of Nishek Lagn, effects like longevity, death, etc. of

the parents.

Chapter 5

 

Special Lagnas

 

1. Oh excellent of the Brahmins, I explain below again some

special Lagnas, viz. Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn, and Ghati

Lagn.

 

 

2-3. Bhava Lagn: From sunrise to the time of birth every 5

ghatis (or 120 minutes) constitute one Bhava Lagn. Divide

the time of birth (in ghatis, vighatis, etc.) from sunrise

by 5 and add the quotient etc. to Surya's longitude as at

sunrise. This is called Bhava Lagn.

 

 

4-5. Hora Lagn: Again from sunrise till the time of birth,

Hora Lagn repeats itself every 21/2 ghatis (i. e. 60

minutes). Divide the time past up to birth from sunrise by

2 1/2 and add the quotient etc. in rashis, degrees, and so

on to the longitude of Surya as at the sunrise. This will

yield Hora Lagn in rashi, degrees, etc..

 

 

6-8. Ghati Lagn (Ghatik Lagn): Now listen to the method of

working out Ghati Lagn. This Lagn changes along with every

Ghati (24 minutes) from the sunrise. Note birth time in

ghatis and vighatis. Consider the number of ghatis past as

number of rashis or Ghati Lagnas. The vighatis be divided

by 2 to arrive at degrees and minutes of arc past in the

said Ghati Lagn. The product so arrived in rashis, degrees,

and minutes be added to Surya's longitude as at sunrise to

get the exact location of Ghati Lagn. So, say Maharishis

like Narada.

 

 

9. Use of Special Lagnas: Keeping the grahas at birth as it

is, prepare various bhava kundalis with respect to each

special Lagn and analyze as done for the natal Lagn.

 

 

10-13 1/2. Varnad Dasha: I now detail Varnad Dasha just by

knowing which, one can deal with the longevity of a native.

If the natal Lagn is an odd rashi count directly from to

natal Lagn. If the natal Lagn is an even rashi, count from

Meen to the natal Lagn, in the reverse order. Similarly, if

the Hora Lagn is an odd one, count from Mesh to Hora Lagn

in direct order. If the Hora Lagn is an even one, count

from Meen to Hora Lagn in the reverse order. If both the

products are odd rashis or even rashis, then add both the

figures. If one is odd and the other is even, then know the

difference between the two products. If the latest product,

in this process, is an odd one, count so many rashis from

Mesh in a direct manner, if an even one, count so many

rashis from Meen in reverse order. The rashi so known will

be the Varnad for Lagn.

 

 

14-15. Effects of Varnad: Now, listen to the use of the

above. Out of the two, viz. natal Lagn and Hora Lagn,

whichever is stronger, from there Varnad starts. If the

natal Lagn is an old rashi, the counting of dashas is

clockwise, otherwise anticlockwise. Lagn dasha years will

equal the number of rashis intervening between the natal

Lagn and Varnad. Similarly, for other bhavas.

 

16-20. Effects of Varnad (cont.): Should a Kon from Lagn 's

Varnad be occupied or drishtied by a malefic, the native

will live only up to the dasha of the said rashi. Just as

the Rudra grah in Sool Dasha is capable of causing evils,

the above mentioned grahas related to Varnad's Kon be

treated. The Varnad Lagn be considered as natal Lagn while

the 7th from Varnad will denote the longevity of the

spouse, the 11th longevity of elder brothers and sisters,

the 3rd longevity of younger brothers and sisters, the 5th

the longevity of sons, the 4th longevity of mother and the

9th longevity of father. The Dasha of the Sool rashi will

inflict greater evils.

 

21-24. Effects of Varnad (cont.): Similar assessments be

made with reference to the Varnad of each bhava commencing

the first and the evils and goods due to a nativity be

known. These Varnad Dashas are only for bhavas (rashis)

and not their occupants. The sub period of each Dasha will

be one twelfth of the Dasha and the order will also be

clockwise or anti-clockwise as explained earlier. The

natal Lagn is to be calculated according to birth place

while Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn, etc., are common to all

places.

Chapter 6

 

The Sixteen Divisions of a Rashi

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, I have known from you about the

grahas, rashis, and their descriptions. I desire to know

the details of various divisions of a rashi, will you

please narrate.

 

 

2-4. Names of the 16 Vargas: Lord Brahma has described 16

kinds of Vargas (Divisions) for each rashi. Listen to

those. The names are: Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Chaturthamsh,

Saptamsh, Navamsh, Dashamsh, Dvadashamsh, Shodashamsh,

Vimshamsh, Chaturvimshamsh, Saptavimshamsh, Trimshamsh,

Khavedamsh, Akshavedamsh, and Shashtiamsh.

 

 

5-6. Rashi and Hora: The rashi owned by a grah is called

its Kshetra. The first half of an odd rashi is the Hora

ruled by Surya. While the second half is the Hora of

Chandr. The reverse is true in the case of an even rashi.

Half of a rashi is called Hora. These are totally 24

counted from Mesh and repeated twice (at the rate of 12) in

the whole of the zodiac.

 

 

7-8. Dreshkan: One third of a rashi is called Dreshkan

(Dreshkan). These are totally 36, counted from Mesh (to

Meen), repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The

1st, 5th, and the 9th rashis from a rashi are its three

Dreshkanas, and are respectively lorded by Narada,

Agasthya and Durvash.

 

 

9. Chaturthamsh: The lords of the 4 Kendras from a rashi

are the rulers of respective Chaturthamsh of a rashi

commencing from Mesh. Each Chaturthamsh is one fourth of a

rashi. The deities respectively are Sanak, Sanand, Kumar,

and Sanatan.

10-11. Saptamsh: The Saptamsh (one seventh of a rashi)

counting commences from the same rashi in the case of an

odd rashi. It is from the seventh rashi there of while an

even rashi is considered. The names of the seven divisions

in odd rashis are : Kshaar, Ksheer, Dadhi, Ghrith, Ikshu,

Ras, Madhya, and Suddh Jal. These designations are reversed

for an even rashi.

 

 

12. Navamsh: The Navamsh calculation are for a movable

rashi from there itself, for a fixed rashi from the 9th

thereof and for a dual rashi from the 5th thereof. They go

by designations Deva (divine), Manushya (human), and

Rakshasa (devilish) in a successive and repetitive order

for a movable rashi. (Manushya, Rakshasa and Deva are the

order for a fixed rashi while Rakshasa, Manushya, and Deva

are a dual rashi's order.)

 

 

13-14. Dashamsh: Starting from the same rashi for an odd

rashi and from the 9th with reference to an even rashi, the

10 Dashamshas each of 3 degrees are reckoned. These are

presided over by the ten rulers of the cardinal

directions, viz. Indra, Agni, Yama, Rakshasa, Varuna,

Vayu, Kuber, Isan, Brahma, and Ananth in case of an odd

rashi. It is in the reverse order that these presiding

deities are reckoned when an even rashi is given.

 

 

15. Dvadashamsh: The reckoning of the Dvadashamsh (one

twelfth of a rashi or 2 1/2 degrees each) commences from

the same rashi. In each rashi the presidentship repeats

thrice in the order of Ganesh, Ashvini, Kumar, Yama, and

Sarpa for the 12 Dvadashamshas.

 

 

16. Shodashamsh (or Kalamsh): Starting from Mesh for a

movable rashi, from Simh for a fixed rashi and from Dhanu

for a dual rashi, the 16 Shodashamshas (16th part of a

rashi i.e. of 152' 30") are regularly distributed. The

presiding deities of these repeat in the order Brahma,

Vishnu, Shiva, and Surya four times in the case of an odd

rashi. It is reverse in the case of an even rashi that

these ruling deities are understood.

 

 

17-21. Vimshamsh: From Mesh for a movable rashi, from

Dhanu from a fixed rashi and from Simh for a common rashi:

this is how the calculations of Vimshamshas ( 1/20th of a

rashi or 1 degree 30' each) are to commerce. The presiding

deities of the 20 Vimshamshas are in an odd rashi are

respectively: Kali, Gauri, Jaya, Lakshmi, Vijaya, Vimal,

Sati, Tara, Jvalamukhi, Sveta, Lalita, Bagalamukhi,

Pratyangir, Shachi, Raudri, Bhavani, Varad, Jaya, Tripura,

and Sumukhi. In an even rashi these 20 deities respectively

are: Daya, Megha, Chinnasi, Pisachini, Dhumavathi; Matangi,

Bal, Bhadr, Arun, Anal, Pingal, Chuchchuk, Ghora, Vaarahi,

Vaishnavi, Sita, Bhuvanesvari, Bhairavi, Mangal, and

Aparajit.

 

 

22-23. Chaturvimshamsh: The Chaturvimshamsh (1/24th part of

a rashi or 115 each) distribution commences from Simh and

Kark respectively for an odd and an even rashi. In the case

of an odd rashi the ruling deities repeat twice in the

order of Skand, Parusdhar, Anal, Vishwakarma, Bhag, Mitr,

Maya, Antaka, Vrisha-dwaja, Govinda Madan, and Bhima.

Reverse these from Bhima (to Skand) twice to know the

deities for the Chaturvimshamsh in an even rashi.

 

 

24-26. Saptavimshamsh (Nakshatramsh or Bhamsh): The

Saptavimshamsh lords are respectively the presiding deities

of the 27 Nakshatras as under: Dastra (Ashvini Kumar),

Yama, Agni, Brahma, Chandr, Isa, Adhiti, Jiva, Ahi, Pitar,

Bhag, Aryama, Surya, Tvasht, Marut, Chakragni, Mitr,

Vasava, Rakshasa, Varuna, Vishwadeva, Govinda, Vasu,

Varuna, Ajap, Ahirbuddhnya, and Pushya. These are for an

odd rashis. Count these deities in a reverse order for an

even rashi. The Saptavimshamsh distribution commences from

Mesh and other movable rashis for all the 12 rashis.

 

27-28. Trimshamsh: The Trimshamsh lords for an odd rashi

are: Mangal, Shani, Guru, Buddh, and Shukr. Each of them in

order rules 5, 5, 8, 7, and 5 degrees, The deities ruling

over the Trimshamshas are respectively, Agni, Vayu, Indra,

Kuber, and Varuna. Tn the case of an even rashi, the

quantum of Trimshamsh, grah lordship and deities get

reversed.

 

 

29-30. Khavedamsh (or Chatvarimshamsh): (1/40th part of a

rashi): For odd rashis count from Mesh and for an even

rashi from Tula in respect of Khavedamshas (each of 45' of

arc). Vishnu, Chandr, Marichi, Tvasht, Dhata, Shiva, Ravi,

Yama, Yaksh, Gandharv, Kaal, and Varuna repeat successively

as presiding deities in the same order for all rashis.

 

 

31-32. Akshavedamsh: (1/45th part of a rashi): Mesh, Simh,

and Dhanu are the rashis from which the distributions

respectively commence for movable, immovable, and common

rashis. In movable rashis, Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu; in

immovable rashis Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma and in common

rashis Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva repeat 15 times the

presidentship over these Akshavedamshas.

 

33-41. Shashtiamsh: (1/60th part of a rashi or half a

degree each): To calculate the Shashtiamsh lord, ignore the

rashi position of a grah and take the degrees, etc., it

traversed in that rashi. Multiply that figure by 2 and

divide the degrees by 12. Add 1 to the remainder which will

indicate the rashi in which the Shashtiamsh falls. The lord

of that rashi is the grah ruling the said Shashtiamsh. In

odd rashis, the names of Shashtiamshas are:1.Ghora,

2.Rakshasa, 3.Deva, 4.Kuber, 5.Yaksh, 6.Kindar, 7.Bhrasht,

8.Kulaghna, 9.Garal, 10.Vahni, 11.Maya, 12.Purishak,

13.Apampathi, 14.Marutwan, 15.Kaal, 16.Sarpa, 17.Amrit.

18.Indu, 19.Mridu, 20. Komal, 21.Heramba, 22.Brahma,

23.Vishnu, 24.Maheshwara, 25.Deva, 26.Ardr, 27.Kalinas,

28.Kshitees, 29.Kamalakar, 30.Gulik, 31.Mrityu, 32.Kaal,

33.Davagni, 34.Ghora, 35.Yama, 36 Kantak, 37.Suddh,

38.Amrit, 39.Purnachandr, 40.Vishadagdha, 41.Kulanas,

42.Vamshakshaya, 43.Utpat, 44.Kaal, 45.Saumya, 46.Komal,

 

47.Sheetal, 48.Karaladamshtr, 49.Chandramukhi, 50.Praveen,

51.Kaalpavak, 52 Dhannayudh, 53.Nirmal, 54.Saumya, 55.Krur,

56.Atisheetal, 57.Amrit, 58.Payodhi, 59.Brahman,

60.Chandrarekha (Indurekha).

 

The reverse is the order for even rashis in so much as

these names are cased. Grahas in benefic Shashtiamshas

produce auspicious, while the opposite is true in case of

grahas in malefic Shashtiamshas.

 

 

42-53. Varg Classification: Maitreya, explained now are the

sum effects of classifications of different divisions (or

vargas so far narrated). These are four kinds, viz. Shad

Varg (6 divisions considered), Sapth Varg (7 divisions

considered), Dasha Varg (10 divisions considered) and

Shodasha Varg (all the 16 divisions considered). In the

Shadvarg classification, the varg designations are Kimshuk,

Vyanjan, Chamar, Chatr, and Kundal according to a grah

being in 2 to 6 combinations of good vargas. Next is the

Sapth varg in which these classifications continue in the

same manner up to six combinations of good vargas, the 7th

additional varg getting classified as Mukut. In the Dasha

Varg scheme, the designations commence from Parijata etc.

such as 2 good Vargas-Parijatha, 3. Uttama, 4. Gopur, 5.

Simhsan, 6. Paravata, 7. Devaloka, 8. Brahmaloka, 9.

Sakravahana, and 10. Vargas-Shridham. In the Shodasha Varg

scheme the combinations of vargas go with designations

thus: two good Vargas-Bhedak, 3. Kusum, 4. Nagapushpa, 5.

Kanduk, 6. Kerala, 7. Kalpa Vriksha, 8. Chandan Vana, 9.

Purnachandr, 10. Uchchaisrava, 11. Dhanvantari,

12.Suryakant, 13. Vidrum, 14. Chakra-simhasan, 15.

Golok, and 16. Vargas-Shri Vallabh. In these divisions,

the divisions falling in the grah's exaltation rashi,

Mooltrikon rashi, own rashi, and the rashis owned by the

lord of a Kendra from the Arudha Lagn are all to be

considered (as good vargas). The divisions of a combust

grah, defeated grah, weak grah and a grah in bad Avasthas

like Sayan be all ignored to be auspicious, for these

destroy the good Yogas.

Chapter 7

 

Divisional Considerations

 

 

1-8. Use of the 16 Divisions: Now, I will explain the use

of these sixteen divisions. The physique from Lagn, wealth

from Hora, happiness through co-born from Dreshkan,

fortunes from Chaturthamsh, sons and grandsons from

Saptamsh, spouse from Navamsh, power (and position) from

Dashamsh, parents from Dvadashamsh, benefits and

adversities through conveyances from Shodashamsh, worship

from Vimshamsh, learning from Chaturvimshamsh strength and

weakness from Saptavimshamsh, evil effects from Trimshamsh,

auspicious and inauspicious effects from Khavedamsh, and

all indications from both Akshavedamsh and Shashtiamsh:

these are the considerations to be made through the

respective vargas. The bhava whose lord is in a malefic

Shashtiamsh will diminish, so say Garga and others. The

bhava whose lord is in a benefic Shodashamsh flourish. This

is how the 16 vargas are to be evaluated.

9-12. After assessing the 20 point strength of the

ascending degree, of other bhavas, and of the grahas, the

good and bad effects be declared. I explain below the

method of knowing the Vimsopak strength (20 point strength)

just by knowing which an idea of the results of actions of

this birth and of former birth will clearly emerge. The

grahas from Surya on get full strength when in exaltation

or in own rashi and are bereft of strength when in the 7th

(from exaltation). In between, the strength be known by the

rule of three process. In the case of a grah owning two

rashis, distinction of placement in odd/even rashi

identical with own rashi be made.

 

13-16. Hora, Dreshkan, and Trimshamsh Effects: Guru, Surya,

and Mangal give (pronounced) effects in the Hora of Surya.

Chandr, Shukr, and Shani do so when in Chandr's Horas;

Buddh is effective in both the Horas. In the case of an

even rashi the hora of Chandr will be powerful in effects

while Surya's hora in an odd rashi will be so. Full,

medium, and nil will be the effects respectively in the

beginning middle and the end of a hora. Similar

applications be made for a Dreshkan, Turyamsh, Navamsh,

etc.. As for Trimshamsh effects Surya is akin to Mangal and

Chandr is akin to Shukr. The effects applicable to Rashi

will apply to Trimshamsh.

 

17-19. Vimshopak Bal: The Shad Vargas (six divisions)

consist of Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Navamsh, Dvadashamsh, and

Trimshamsh. The full Bal, for each of the divisions

respectively are 6, 2, 4, 5, 2, and 1. This is the

Vimshopak Bal relating to Shad Varg division. Adding the

Saptamsh to the Shad Vargas, we get Sapt Varg, the

Vimshopak Bal for which is: 5, 2, 3, 2 1/2, 4 1/2, 2, and

1. These are gross strengths, while subtle ones should be

understood by exact positions.

 

20. Add Dashamsh, Shodashamsh, and Shashtiamsh to the said

Sapt Varg Divisions, to get the scheme of Dasha Varg (10

divisions). The Vimshopak Bal in this context is 3 for

Rashi, 5 for Shashtiamsh, and for the other 8 divisions, 1

1/2 each.

21-25. When the 16 divisions (Shodash Varg Scheme) are

considered together, the Vimshopak score goes thus: Hora 1,

Trimsamsh 1, Dreshkan 1, Shodashamsh 2, Navamsh 3, Rashi 3

1/2, Shashtiamsh 4, and the rest of the nine divisions

each a half. The Vimshopak Bal remains as 20 (in the above

computations) only when the grah is in own bhava vargas.

Otherwise, the total strength from 20 declines to 18 in

Pramudit vargas, to 15 in Shant vargas, to 10 in Svasth

divisions, to 7 in Duhkhit vargas and to 5 in Khal vargas.

(These figures are called Varg Vishwa.)

 

26-27. Vimshopak Proportional Evaluation. Multiply the

figure due to full strength for the division by the varg

Vishwa and divide by 20 to get the exact strength of the

grah. If the such total is below 5 the grah will not be

capable of giving auspicious results. If it is above 5 but

below 10, the grah will yield some good effects. Later on,

up to 15 it is indicative of mediocre effect. A grah with

above 15 will yield wholly favourable effects.

 

28-29. Other Sources of Strength: Maitreya, there are other

kinds of sources as I explain below. Grahas in the 7th from

Surya will be fully effective. One with an identical

longitude in comparison to Surya's will destroy the good

effects. Rule of three process be applied to the grah in

between these positions.

 

30-32. Dasha effects with Vimshopak Bal: Maitreya, after

assessing the Vimshopak Bal through the various divisions,

the rising and setting of the grahas be considered. The

Vimshopak Bal is classified under: Purna, Atipurna, Madhya,

Atimadhya, Heen, Atiheen, Swalpa, and Atiswalp. Thus,

should be classified the Vimshopak Bal and the Dasha period

results declared accordingly.

 

33-36. Kendras, Konas, etc., Defined: O Maitreya, listen to

other matters which I am explaining. The Kendras are

specially known as Lagn (the ascendent), Bandhu Bhava,

Yuvati Bhava (the descendant), and Karm Bhava (mid-heaven).

Dhan, Putr, Randhr, and Labh Bhava are Panapharas (or

succedents), while Sahaj, Ari, Dharm, and Vyaya Bhava are

called Apoklimas (or cadents). Putr and Dharm Bhava are

known by the name Kon (or trine). Evil bhavas or Dusthan

Bhavas are Ari, Randhr, and Vyaya Bhava. Chaturasras are

Bandhu and Randhr Bhava. Sahaj, Ari, Karm, and Labh Bhava

are Upachaya Bhavas.

 

37-38. Names of Bhavas: Thanu, Dhan, Sahaj, Bandhu, Putr,

Ari, Yuvati, Randhr, Dharm, Karma, Labh, and Vyaya are in

order the names of bhavas. I explained these briefly and

leave it to you to grasp more according to your

intelligence. As delivered by Lord Brahma, some further

information is added thus (i.e. in the following

verses.).

 

39-43. Indications from Bhavas: Dharm Bhava and the 9th

from Surya deal with one's father. Whatever effects are to

be known from the Karm and Labh Bhava be also known from

similar bhavas counted from Surya. Whatever results are to

be known from Bandhu, Tanu, Dhan, Labh, and Dharm should

also be known from the 4th of Chandr, from Kark rashi

itself, and from the 2nd, 11th, and 9th from Chandr

respectively. Whatever has to be known through Sahaj Bhava

be also analyzed through the 3rd from Mangal. The 6th from

Buddh be also considered in regard to indications

derivable from Ari Bhava. The 5th from Guru, the 7th from

Shukr, and both the 8th and 12th from Shani stand for

consideration respectively in respect of offspring, spouse,

and death. The lord of the bhava is equally important when

estimating the indications of a particular bhava.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 8

 

Drishtis of the Rashis

 

 

1-3. Rashi Drishtis: O Maitreya, now detailed are the

drishtis emanating from the rashi Mesh, etc.. Every movable

rashi drishtis the 3 fixed rashis leaving the fixed rashi

adjacent to it. Every fixed rashi gives drishti to the 3

movable rashis barring the adjacent movable rashi. And a

common rashi gives a drishti to the other three common

rashis. The grah in a rashi gives the same drishti as the

rashi (in which the grah is) does.

 

 

4-5. Dristhis of the Grahas: A grah in a movable rashi

gives a drishti to the other 3 fixed rashis leaving the

fixed rashi next to it. A grah in a fixed rashi does not

give a drishti to the next movable rashi, but the remaining

3 movable rashis. The one in a common rashi gives a drishti

to the remaining 3 common rashis. Simultaneously, a grah in

the rashi that receives a drishti is also subjected to the

drishti concerned.

 

 

6-9. Diagram of Dristhis: As depicted by Lord Brahma, I now

narrate the diagram of drishtis, so that drishtis are

easily understood by a mere sight of the diagram. Draw a

square or a circle marking the 8 directions (4 corners and

4 quarters thereof). Mark the zodiacal rashis as under:

 

Mesh and Vrishabh in east;

Mithun in the north-east;

Kark and Simh in the north;

Kanya in the north-west;

Tula and Vrischik in the west;

Dhanu in the south-west;

Makar and Kumbh in the south; and

Meen in the south-east.

 

[addition Santhanam till chapter 9]:

The drishtis (as per the earlier slokas) can be shown in a

square diagram or cicular diagram (as per convenience).

Chapter 9

 

Evils at Birth

 

1. O Brahmin, first of all, estimate the evils and checking

factors thereof through Lagn and then declare the effects

of the 12 bhavas.

 

2. Evils causing premature end exist up to the 24th year of

one's age, As such, no definite calculation of life span

should be made till such year of age.

 

3-6. Short-life Combinations: (up to sloka 23): Should

Chandr be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava and receives a

drishti from a malefic; the child will die soon.

 

If in the process there be a drishti from a benefic, it may

live up to 8.

 

If a benefic is retrograde in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava

receiving a drishti from a malefic, death will occur within

a month of birth. This is true only when Lagn is not

occupied by a benefic.

 

Should Putr Bhava be occupied by Shani, Mangal, and Surya

jointly (early) death of mother and brother will come to

pass.

 

Mangal placed in Tanu, or in Randhr Bhava and be yuti with

Shani or Surya or receiving a drishti from a malefic, being

bereft of a drishti from a benefic will prove a source of

(immediate) death.

 

7-11. If Shani and Mangal give a drishti to Lagn as the

luminaries are yuti with Rahu (elsewhere), the child will

live a fortnight.

 

Immediate death of the child along with its mother will

occur if Shani is in Karm Bhava, Chandr in Ari Bhava, and

Mangal in Yuvati Bhava.

 

One will immediately go to the abode of Yama if Shani is in

Tanu Bhava, while Chandr and Guru are in their order in

Randhr and Sahaj Bhava.

 

Only a month will be the span of ones life who had

Surya in Dharm Bhava, Mangal in Yuvati Bhava, and Guru and

Shukr in Labh Bhava.

 

All Grahas (any Grah) in Vyaya Bhava will be the source of

a short life, specifically the luminaries, Shukr, and Rahu.

But the drishti of these four grahas (on Vyaya Bhava) will

counteract such evils.

 

12. Chandr is capable of causing early end if she is with a

malefic in Yuvati, Randhr, or Tanu Bhava and unrelated to a

benefic.

 

13. Early death will come to pass if there be a birth in the

morning or evening junctions or in a Hora ruled by Chandr

or in Gandanta, while Chandr and malefics occupy Kendras

from Lagn.

14. Definition of Sandhya: 3 Ghatis before the sight of the

semi disc (half) of the rising Surya and a similar duration

following Surya's set are called as morning twilight and

evening twilight, respectively.

 

15. Early Death: Should all the malefics be in the oriental

half, while benefics are in the occidental half, early

death of one born in Vrischik will follow. In this case

there is no need of any rethinking.

 

16. Malefic in Vyaya and Ari Bhava, or in Randhr and Dhan

Bhava, while Lagn is hemmed between other malefics will

bring early death.

 

17. Malefics occupying Tanu and Yuvati Bhava, while Chandr

is yuti with a malefic with no relief from a benefic will

also cause premature death.

 

18. Early death will be inflicted on the native if

decreasing Chandr is in Tanu Bhava, while malefics capture

Randhr Bhava and a Kendra. There is no doubt about that.

19. Chandr in Tanu, Randhr, Vyaya, or Yuvati Bhava, and

hemmed between malefics, will confer premature death.

 

20. Should Chandr be in Tanu Bhava hemmed between malefics,

while Yuvati or Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it, he will

face immediate death along with his mother.

 

21. Should Shani, Surya, and Mangal be in Vyaya, Dharm, and

Randhr Bhava without drishti from a benefic, the child will

face instant death.

 

22. With a malefic in Yuvati Bhava or in the rising

Dreshkan, while decreasing Chandr is in Tanu Bhava death be

experienced early.

 

23. The life span of the child will be either 2 months or 6

months only, if all grahas devoid of strength are relegated

to Apoklima bhavas (i.e. Sahaj, Ari, Dharm, and Vyaya

Bhava).

 

24. Evils to Mother: (up to sloka 33): The mother of the

native will incur evils (will die soon) if Chandr at birth

receives a drishti from three malefics.

 

Benefics giving a drishti to Chandr will bring good to the

mother.

 

25. Should Dhan Bhava be occupied by Rahu, Buddh, Shukr,

Surya, and Shani, the child's birth has been after its

father's death, while even the mother will face early

death.

 

26. If Chandr is in the 7th or the 8th from a malefic, be

herself with a malefic, and receives a drishti from a

strong malefic, predict mothers end to be early.

 

27. The child will not live on mother's milk, but on that

of she-goat if Surya is exalted or debilitated in Yuvati

Bhava.

 

28. Should a malefic be in the 4th, identical with an

inimical rashi, counted from Chandr, while there is no

benefic in a Kendra, the child will lose its mother in a

premature manner.

 

29. Malefics in Ari and Vyaya Bhava will bring evils to

mother.

 

The child's father will receive similar effects if Bandhu

and Karm Bhava are captured by malefics.

 

30. Buddh in Dhan Bhava, while malefics occupy Tanu and

Vyaya Bhava: this yoga will destroy the entire family.

 

31. Guru, Shani, and Rahu respectively posited in Tanu,

Dhan, and Sahaj Bhava, will cause mother's death early.

 

32. Doubtlessly the mother will give up the child if it has

malefics in Konas counted from the decreasing Chandr. No

benefic shall be yuti with the said malefics.

 

33. If Mangal and Shani are together in a Kendra with

reference to Chandr and occupy one and the same Navamsh the

child will have two mothers. Yet it will be short-lived.

 

34. Evil to Father: (up to sloka 42) One's father will

incur early death if Shani, Mangal, and Chandr in their

orders are in Tanu, Yuati and Ari Bhava.

 

35. The native will at the time of his marriage lose his

father if Guru is in Tanu Bhava, while Shani, Surya, Mangal

and Buddh are together in Dhan Bhava.

 

36. Early loss of father will take place if Surya is with a

malefic or is hemmed between malefics as there is another

malefic in the 7th from Surya.

 

37. Remote will be the possibility of one's father

sustaining if Surya is in Yuvati, while Mangal is in Karm

and Rahu is in Vyaya Bhava.

 

38. Early and troubled will be one's father's death if

Mangal is in Karm Bhava identical with his enemy's rashi.

39. Chandr in Ari Bhava, Shani in Tanu Bhava, and Mangal in

Yuvati Bhava: this array of heavenly bodies at birth will

not ensure a long span of life for the father.

 

40. If Surya receives a drishti from Shani and be in Mesh

or in Vrischik Navamsh, the father would have given up the

family before birth of the child or would have passed

away.

 

41. If Bandhu, Karm, and Vyaya Bhava are all occupied by

malefics, both the parents will leave the child to its own

fate and wander from place to place.

 

42. The father will not see the native till his (the

native's) 23rd year if Rahu and Guru are together in an

inimical rashi identical with Tanu or Bandhu Bhava.

 

43-45. Parents: Surya is the indicator of father for all

beings, while the mother is indicated by Chandr. Should

Surya receive a drishti from one or more malefics or be

hemmed between them, this will cause evils to father.

Similarly, Chandr be considered in respect of mother.

 

Malefics in the 6th, the 8th, or the 4th from Surya will

bring inauspicious results about the father.

 

Malefics in such places from Chandr will be adverse for the

mother. The strength or otherwise of the occupants

concerned be suitably estimated.

Chapter 10

 

Antidotes for Evils

 

1. Those are the evils (due to a native). I now narrate the

antidotes for such evils as well, which will be helpful to

assess the extent of inauspiciousness.

 

2. Should one among Buddh, Guru, and Shukr be in an angle

from Lagn, all evils are destroyed as Surya eliminates

darkness.

 

3. Just as a single reverential obeisance before Lord Shiva,

the Trident holder, frees one from all sins, a single but

strong Guru in Lagn will ward off all the evils.

 

4. Lagn lord is singly capable of counteracting all evils

if he is strongly placed in an angle just as Lord Shiva,

the holder of the Bow, destroyed the three cities built of

gold, silver, and iron for the demons by Maya.

5. All evils are destroyed if a benefic drishties Lagn of

one born during the night in the bright half. Similarly, a

malefic's drishti on Lagn of one born during day time in

the dark half.

 

6. Surya in Vyaya will confer a hundred-year life span on

one born in Tul Lagn.

 

7. It will prove auspicious for the mother as well as the

native if Mangal joins or is drishtied by Guru.

 

9. If malefics are surrounded by benefics while angles or

trines are themselves benefic-occupied evils disappear soon.

Not only this, evils will not follow from the bhavas concerned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 11

 

Judgement of Bhavas

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, I have come to know of the evils

and antidotes thereof as well from you. Please tell me,

what is to be deduced from each bhava.

 

2. Indications of Tanu Bhava: Maharishi Parashar replies:

physique, appearance, intellect (or the organ of

intelligence, i.e. brain), complexion of the body, vigour,

weakness, happiness, grief, and innate nature are all to be

guessed through the ascending rashi.

 

3. Indications of Dhan Bhava: Wealth, grains (food etc.),

family, death, enemies, metals, precious stones etc. are to

4. Indications of Sahaj Bhava: From Sahaj Bhava, know of

the following: valour, servants (attending, etc.),

brothers, sisters, etc. initiatory instructions (Upadesh),

journey, and parent's death.

 

5. Indications of Bandhu Bhava: Conveyances, relatives,

mother, happiness, treasure, lands and buildings are to be

consulted through Bandhu Bhava.

 

6. Indications of Putr Bhava: The learned should deduce

from Putr Bhava: amulets, sacred spells, learning,

knowledge, sons, royalty (or authority), fall of position,

etc..

 

7. Indications of Ari Bhava: Maternal uncle, doubts about

death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother, etc., are to be

estimated from Ari Bhava.

 

8. Indications of Yuvati Bhava: Wife, travel, trade, loss

of sight, death, etc., be known from Yuvati Bhava.

 

9. Indications of Randhr Bhava: Randhr Bhava indicates

longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead, and

things that have happened and are to happen (in the past

and future births).

 

10. Indications of Dharm Bhava: Fortunes, wife's brother,

religion, brother's wife, visits to shrines, etc., be known

from Dharm Bhava.

 

11. Indications of Karm Bhava: Royalty (authority), place,

profession (livelihood), honour, father, living in foreign

lands and debts are to be understood from Karm Bhava.

 

12. Indications of Labh Bhava: All articles, son's wife,

income, prosperity, quadrupeds, etc., are to be understood

from Labh Bhava.

 

13. Indications of Vyaya Bhava: From Vyaya Bhava, one can

know about expenses, history of enemies, one's own death,

etc..

 

14-16. Prosperity or Annihilation of a Bhava: Predict

prosperity of the bhava which is yuti with or drishtied by

a benefic. Also, when its lord is in Yuvavastha or

Prabuddhavastha or in Kismaravastha or in Karm Bhava, the

bhavas well-being is indicated. The bhava which is not

drishtied by its lord or whose lord is with a malefic grah

or with one of the lords of evil and such other bhavas

(i.e. 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, and 12th) or is defeated in a

war between grahas or is in one of the three Avasthas, viz,

Vriddhavastha, Mritavastht, and Suptavastha.

Chapter 12

 

Effects of Tanu Bhava

 

 

1-2. Physical comforts: Should Lagn lord be yuti with a

malefic or be in Randhr, 6th, or 12th, physical felicity

will diminish.

 

 

If he is in an angle or trine there will be at all times

comforts of the body.

 

 

If Lagn lord is in debilitation, combustion, or enemy's

rashi, there will be diseases.

 

 

With a benefic in an angle or trine, all diseases will

disappear.

Lagn's angles (i.e. Bandhu, Yuvati, or the lOth) or its

trine (Putr, Dharm) containing a benefic is a powerful

remedy for all related to health.

 

 

3. There will not be bodily health if Lagn or Chandr be

drishtied by or yuti with a malefic, being devoid of a

benefics drishti.

 

 

4. Bodily Beauty: A benefic in Lagn will give a pleasing

appearance,

 

while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance.

 

 

Felicity of the body will be enjoyed if Lagn is drishtied

by or yuti with a benefic.

 

 

5-7. Other Benefits: If Lagn lord, Buddh, Guru, or Shukr be

in an angle or in a trine, the native will be long lived,

wealthy, intelligent, and liked by the king.

 

 

Fame, wealth, abundant pleasures, and comforts of the body

will be acquired if Lagn lord is in a movable rashi and be

drishtied by a benefic grah.

 

 

One will be endowed with royal marks (of fortune) if Buddh,

Guru, or Shukr be in Lagn along with the Chandr, or be in

angle from Lagn.

 

 

If Buddh, Guru, or Shukr be in 4th, 7th, or 10th from Lagn,

or be in the company of Chandr in Lagn, the native will

enjoy royal fortunes.

 

 

8. Coiled Birth: If there be a birth in one of Mesh,

Vrishabh, and Simh Lagnas containing either Shani or

Mangal, the birth of the child is with a coil around a

limb. The corresponding limb will be in accordance with the

Rashi or Navamsh rising.

(The limbs indicated by the Rashis are shown in sloka

4-4 1/2 of ch. 4 )

 

 

9. Birth of Twins: The native, who has Surya in a quadruped

rashi while others are in dual rashis with strength, is

born as one of the twins (Quadruped rashis are: Mesh,

Vrishabh, Simh, first half of Makar, and second part of

Dhanu).

 

 

 

10. To Be Nurtured by Three Mothers: If Surya and Chandr

join in one and the same bhava and fall in one Navamsh, the

native will be nurtured by three different mothers for the

first three months from its birth and will later on be

brought up by its father and brother.

('Bhratri' apart from meaning a brother calls for

interpretation as a near relative in general).

 

11. Important: The learned in Jyotish should base the

effects on Chandr also as are applicable to Lagn. Now

explained are clues to know of ulcers, identity marks,

etc., on one's person.

 

12-14. Decanates and Bodily Limbs: Head, eyes, ears, nose,

temple, chin, and face is the order of limbs denoted (by

the various bhavas) when the first decanate of a rashi

ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending, the

order is: neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach, and

navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is:

pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf, and foot.

The portion already risen indicates left side of the body

(while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half,

denotes the right side of the body).

 

15. Limbs Affected: The limb related to a malefic by

occupation will have ulcers or scars while the one related

to a benefic will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the

Jyotishis.

(Also see sloka 6, ch. 4 of Saravali, which states

that a malefic or a benefic if be in own Rashi or Navamsh,

the effects will be right from birth. In other cases, it

will be in the course of one's life that these effects will

come to pass.)

Chapter 13

 

Effects of Dhan Bhava

 

1-2. Combinations for Wealth: O excellent of the Brahmins,

listen to me speaking on the effects of Dhan Bhava.

 

 

If the lord of Dhan is in Dhan or is in an angle or in

trine he will promote one's wealth (or monetary state).

 

 

Should he be in Ari/8th/12th, financial conditions will

decline.

 

A benefic in Dhan will give wealth

while a malefic instead will destroy wealth.

 

 

3. One will be wealthy if Guru is in Dhan as the lord of

Dhan or is with Mangal.

 

 

 

4. If Dhan lord is in Labh, while the lord of Labh in Dhan,

wealth will be acquired by the native. Alternately, these

two lords may join in an angle or in a trine.

 

 

5. If the lord of Dhan is in an angle while Labh lord is in

a trine thereof or is drishtied by or yuti with by Guru and

Shukr, the subject will be wealthy.

 

 

6-7. Yogas for Poverty: One will be penniless if the lord

of Dhan Bhava is in an evil bhava while the lord of Labh

Bhava is also so placed, and Dhan Bhava is occupied by a

malefic.

There will be penury right from birth and the native will

have to beg even for his food if the lords of Dhan and Labh

Bhava are both combust or with malefics.

 

 

8. Loss of Wealth through the King: Should the lords of

Dhan and Labh Bhava be relegated to Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya

Bhava (jointly or separately),while Mangal is in Labh Bhava

and Rahu is in Dhan Bhava, the native will lose his wealth

on account of royal punishments.

 

 

9. Expenses on Good Accounts: When Guru is in Labh, Shukr

is in Dhan, and a benefic is placed in Vyaya Bhava, while

Dhan's lord is yuti with a benefic, there will be expenses

on religious or charitable grounds.

 

 

10. Fame, etc.: If Dhan's lord is in own rashi or is

exalted the native will look after his people, will help

others, and all will become famous.

11. Effortless Aquisition: If Dhan's lord is yuti with a

benefic and is in a good division like Paravatamsh, there

will be effortlessly all kinds of wealth in the native's

family.

 

("Paravatamshdau" of the text denotes Paravat or such

other higher vargas: Dhan's lord should be in Paravatamsh

or in Devalokamsh, Brahmalokamsh, Sakravahanamsh, or

Sridhamamsh in the Dash Varg scheme.)

 

 

 

12. Eyes: If Dhan lord is endowed with strength, the native

will possess beautiful eyes.

 

 

Should the said grah be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava,

there will be disease or deformity of eyes.

 

 

13. Untruthful Person: If Dhan Bhava and its lord are yuti

with malefics, the native will be a tale-bearer, will speak

untruth and will be afflicted by windy diseases.

Chapter 14

 

Effects of Sahaj Bhava

 

 

1. O Brahmin, I now tell you about Sahaj Bhava. Should

Sahaj Bhava be yuti with or drishtied by a benefic, the

native will be endowed with co-born and be courageous.

 

 

2. If Sahaj's lord along with Mangal drishtis Sahaj Bhava

the native will enjoy good results due to Sahaj Bhava.

Alternatively, these two grahas may be in Sahaj itself.

 

 

3. Destruction at once of co-born will come to pass if the

said 2 grahas are together with a malefic or in a rashi

owned by a malefic.

 

 

4-4 1/2. Female and Male Co-born: If Sahaj's lord is a

female grah or if Sahaj Bhava be occupied by female grahas,

one will have sisters born after him.

 

Similarly, male grahas and male rashis denote younger

brothers.

 

Should it be of mixed nature, co-born of both sexes will be

obtained. These effects be declared after assessing the

strength and weakness of the concerned.

 

 

5-6. Should Sahaj's lord and Mangal be together in Randhr

Bhava, destruction of co-born will result.

 

 

Happiness in this respect will come to pass if Mangal or

Sahaj's lord is in an angle or in a trine or in exaltation,

or friendly divisions.

 

 

7-11. Number of Brothers and Sisters: If Buddh is in Sahaj

Bhava while Sahaj's lord and Chandr are together as the

indicator (Mangal) joins Shani, the effects are: there

occurred the birth of an elder sister and there will be

younger brothers. Furthermore, the third brother will die.

 

 

Should Mangal be yuti with Rahu, while Sahaj's lord is in

his debilitation rashi, there will be loss of younger

brothers, and/or sisters, while three elder brothers and/or

sisters were attained by the native.

 

 

If Sahaj's lord is in an angle while the significator

(Mangal) is exalted in a trine and be yuti with Guru, 12

will be the number of total co-born. Out of these two

elders and the 3rd, the 7th, the 9th, and the 12th of the

younger co-born will be shortlived, while six of the said

twelve will be longlived.

 

 

12-13. There will be 1 co-born if Vyaya's lord (some texts

read as Labh's lord) joins Mangal and Guru, while Sahaj

Bhava is occupied by Chandr. If Chandr is lonely placed in

Sahaj Bhava with drishti on male grahas, there will be

younger brothers, while the drishti of Shukr denotes

younger sisters.

 

 

14. Adverse Grahas: Surya in Sahaj Bhava will destroy the

preborn.

 

 

The afterborn will be destroyed if Shani is found in Sahaj

Bhava.

 

 

In the same situation, Mangal will destroy both the preborn

and later born.

 

15. After estimating the strength and weakness of such

yogas, the effects related to brothers and sisters be

announced.

 

Chapter 15

 

Effects of Bandhu Bhava

 

1. O excellent of the Brahmins: Thus, have been briefly

told about the effects of Sahaj Bhava. Now listen to the

results related to Bandhu Bhava.

 

 

2. Housing Comforts: One will have residential comforts in

full degree if Bandhu is occupied by its lord or by Lagn's

lord and be drishtied by a benefic.

 

 

3. Miscellaneous: Should Putr's lord be in his own bhava,

or in own Navamsh or in exaltation, the native will be

endowed with comforts related to lands, conveyances,

houses, etc., and musical instruments.

 

 

4. Housing Comforts: If Karm's lord joins Bandhu's lord in

an angle or in a trine, the native will acquire beautiful

mansions.

 

 

5. Relatives: Should Buddh be in Lagn, while Bandhu's lord

being a benefic is drishtied by another benefic, the native

will be honoured by his relatives.

 

 

6. Long-living Mother: If Bandhu Bhava is occupied by a

benefic, while its lord is in his exaltation rashi, as the

indicator of mother is endowed with strength, the native

with have a long-living mother.

 

 

7. Happiness of Mother: The native's mother will be happy

if Bandhu's lord is in an angle while Shukr is also in an

angle as Buddh is exalted.

 

 

8. Quadrupeds: Surya in Bandhu, Chandr and Shani in Dharm,

and Mangal in Labh Bhava, this yoga will confer cows and

buffaloes on the native.

 

 

9. Dumbness: Should Bandhu Bhava be a movable one, while

its lord and Mangal are together in Ari or Randhr Bhava,

the native will be dumb.

 

 

10-14. Conveyances: If Lagn's lord is a benefic while

Bandhu's lord is in fall or in Labh Bhava and the

significator (Shukr) is in Vyaya Bhava, the native will

obtain conveyances in his 12th year.

 

 

Should Surya be in Bandhu Bhava, as Bandhu's lord is

exalted and be with Shukr, one will acquire conveyanees in

his 32nd year.

 

 

It will be in the 42nd year that one will be endowed with

conveyances if Bandhu's lord joins Karm's lord in his (4th

lord's) exaltation Navamsh.

 

 

An exchange between Labh's and Bandhu's lords will confer

conveyances in the 12th year.

 

 

A benefic related to Bandhu Bhava (and to its lord) will

bring with him auspicious effects (regarding conveyances)

 

 

while a malefic will produce only malefic effects (in

respect of conveyances).

 

 

Should a benefic be in Bandhu, drishti Bandhu, or in yuti

with the lord of Bandhu, or a drishti on the lord of Bandhu

Bhava, then the native will be happy with conveyances and

be free from accidents and dangers.

A malefic replacing the said benefic will cause losses

concerning vehicles and reduce one to severe accidents.

 

 

 

Chapter 16

 

Effects of Putr Bhava

 

 

1-3. 0 Brahmin, now I tell you the effects related to Putr

Bhava. If the lords of Lagn and Putr are in their own

rashis or in an angle, or in a trine, one will enjoy

thorough happiness through his children.

 

 

Should Putr's lord be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there

will be no offspring.

 

 

Should the lord of Putr be combust or be with malefics and

be weak, there will be no children; even if per chance

issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon.

 

 

The yuti of Putr's lord with Lagn's lord in a good bhava

will ensure early obtainment of children apart from

happiness through them.

 

 

If they join in an evil bhava, they will prove a defect in

this respect.

 

 

4. If Putr's lord is in Ari Bhava as Lagn's lord is yuti

with Mangal, the native will lose his very first child

where after his female will not be fertile to yield an

offspring.

 

 

5. Should Putr's lord be in fall in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya

Bhava, while Buddh and Ketu are in Putr Bhava, the native's

wife will give birth to one child only.

 

 

 

6. If Putr's lord is in fall and be not in drishti to Putr,

while Shani and Buddh are in Putr, the native's wife wil

give birth to one child only.

 

 

7. Should Dharm's lord be in Lagn, while Putr's lord is in

fall and Ketu is in Putr along with Buddh, obtainment of

progeny will be after a great deal of ordeal.

 

 

8. If Putr's lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or be

in an inimical rashi, or be in fall, or in Putr itself, the

native will beget issues with difficulty.

 

 

9. Should Putr Bhava be owned by Shani or Buddh and be

occupied or drishtied by Shani and Mandi, one will have

adopted issues.

 

 

10. Should Surya and Chandr be together in a rashi and in

the same Navamsh, the native will be brought up by three

mothers or two fathers.

 

 

11. Adopted issue is indicated if Putr is tenanted by six

grahas, while its lord is in Vyaya Bhava, and Chandr and

Lagn are endowed with strength.

 

 

12. There will be many children if Putr's lord is strong

while Putr is drishtied by strong Buddh, Guru, and Shukr.

 

 

13. If Putr's lord is with Chandr or is in her Decanate the

native will beget daughters, so say Jyotishis.

 

 

14. If Putr's lord is in a movable rashi, while Shani is in

Putr, as Rahu is with Chandr the child (so born) is of

questionable birth.

15. Undoubtedly, the native is born of other's loins if

Chandr is in the 8th from Lagn, while Guru is in the 8th

from Chandr. Malefic's drishti or yuti is essential in this

Yog.

 

 

16. If Putr's lord is exalted or be in Dhan, Putr, or Dharm

Bhava, or be yuti with or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of

children will be there.

 

 

17. One will obtain children that will indulge in mean

deeds if Putr is occupied by three or four malefics, while

Putr's lord is in fall. A benefic (including Buddh) in Putr

is excluded in the said combination.

 

 

18. If Putr is occupied by Guru, while its lord is with

Shukr, one will obtain an offspring in his 32nd or 33rd

year.

19. Should Putr's lord be in an angle along with Guru, the

Karak, one will beget a child at the age of 30 or 36.

 

 

20. If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Shukr is in the 9th

from Guru along with Lagn's lord, one will beget a child at

the age of 40.

 

 

21. The native will at the age of 32 lose his child if Rahu

is in Putr, Putr's lord is in yuti with a malefic, and Guru

is in debilitation.

 

 

22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36 if a

malefic is in the 5th from Guru, while another is in the

5th from Lagn.

 

 

23. Should Mandi be in Lagn, while Lagn's lord is in fall,

grief on account of loss of child at the age of 56 will

come to pass.

 

 

24-32. Number of Children: There will be 10 sons if Bandhu

Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied by malefics while Putr's

lord is in deep exaltation joining Lagn's lord as Guru is

with another benefic.

 

 

Nine will be the number of sons that one will beget if Guru

is in deep exaltation as Rahu is with Dhan's lord, and

Dharm is occupied by its own lord.

 

 

There will be eight sons if Guru is in Putr, or Dharm

Bhava, while Putr's lord is endowed with strength and

Dhan's lord is in Karm Bhava.

 

 

Shani in Dharm Bhava, while Putr's lord is in Putr itself,

gives 7 sons out of which twins will be born twice.

If Putr's lord is in Putr in yuti with Dhan's lord, there

will be birth of 7 sons out of which 3 will pass away.

 

 

Only one son is denoted if there be a malefic in Putr

Bhava, while Guru is in the 5th from Shani or vice versa.

 

 

If Putr Bhava has a malefic in it or if Shani is in the 5th

from Guru the native will beget offspring only through his

second or third wife.

 

 

Should Putr be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti

with Shani in Putr Bhava, as Lagn's lord is in Dhan Bhava,

and Putr's lord is yuti with Mangal, one will live long but

lose his children one after the other as they are born.

Chapter 17

 

Effects of Ari Bhava

 

1. O Brahmin, following are the effects produced by Ari

Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers, etc.. Listen to this

attentively.

 

2. Ulcers / Bruises: Should Ari's lord be in Ari itself, or

in Lagn, or Randhr, there will be ulcers or bruises on the

body. The rashi becoming Ari Bhava will lead to the

knowledge of the concerned limb.

 

3-5. Relatives Affected: The Karak of a relative or the

lord of such a bhava joining Ari's lord, or being in Ari,

or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a

relative like father. Surya with such lordship and in such

a bhava denotes such affectation of head, Chandr denotes

such affection of the face, Mangal denotes such affection

of the neck, Buddh denotes such affection of the navel,

Guru denotes such affection of the nose, Shukr denotes such

affection of the eyes, Shani denotes such affection of the

feet, and the Rahu and Ketu denote such affection of the

abdomen.

 

The relatives signified by grahas and bhavas are denoted in

ch. 32, infra. The second clue is to know the possible

affliction, to the native, of a particular area in the

body. If Surya is the lord of Ari Bhava, or is with Ari's

lord, or is in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native will be apt

to incur affliction of head, and so on and so forth.

 

As regards, Rahu and Ketu, they do not own any bhava in the

ormal context. Hence, their position in Ari or Randhr

Bhava, or the situation that they are joining Ari's lord

need only be considered. Rahu or Ketu in the Ari or Randhr

Bhava will cause stomachial disorders.

 

6. Facial Diseases: Should Lagn's lord be in a rashi of

Mangal or of Buddh, and has a drishti on Buddh, there will

be diseases of the face.

7-8 1/2. Leprosy: Mangal or Buddh having ownership of the

ascending rashi and joining Chandr, Rahu, and Shani, will

cause leprosy.

 

If Chandr is in Lagn, which is not however Cancer, and be

with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy.

 

Shani in place of Rahu will cause black leprosy,

 

while Mangal similarly will afflict one with

blood-leprosy.

 

9-12 1/2. Diseases in General: When Lagn is occupied by the

lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava along with Surya, the native

will be afflicted by fever and tumours.

 

Mangal replacing Surya will cause swelling and hardening of

the blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons.

 

Buddh so featuring will bring in billious diseases,

while Guru in similar case will destroy any disease.

 

Similarly, Shukr will cause diseases through females;

 

Shani windy diseases;

 

Rahu danger through low caste-men; and

 

Ketu navel diseases.

 

Chandr in yuti with the lords or Ari and Randhr Bhava will

inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic disorders.

Similar estimates be made from the respective significators

and bhavas for relatives like father.

(Replacing Lagn with a certain bhava, these afflictions to

the concerned relatives be predicted).

 

For example, if Ari's and Randhr's lords join Chandr in

Sahaj Bhava, danger to co-born by drowning, lung disorders

etc. be known.

Should Shukr join Ari's and Randhr's lords in Labh Bhava,

an elder brother of the native will incur venereal

diseases.

 

13-19 1/2 TIMING OF ILLNESS: The native will be afflicted

by illness throughout life if Shani is with Rahu while Ari

lord and 6th Bhava are yuti with malefics.

 

One will suffer from (severe) fever at the age of 6 and at

the age of 12 if Mangal is in Ari while Ari lord is in

Randhr.

 

If the Chandr is in Dhanu/Meen while Guru is in Ari from

Lagn, one will suffer from leprosy at the age of 19 and 22.

 

If Rahu is in Ari, Lagna lord is in Randhr and Mandi is in

an angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age

of 26.

 

Spleenary disorders will be experienced

at the age of 29 and 30 if the lords of 6th and 12th are in

exchange of their Rashis.

 

Shani and Chandr together in Ari will infflct blood-leprosy

at the age of 45.

 

If Shani is with an inimical planet while Lagn lord is in

Lagn itself windy disorders (like rheumatism) will trouble

the native at the age of 59.

 

20-22. UNFORTUNATE YEARS: Should Chandr be yuti with Ari

lord while the 8th lord is in Ari and the l2th lord is in

Lagn, the native will be troubled by animals at the age of

eight.

 

O Brahmin, if Rahu is in Ari while Shani is in Randhr from

the said Rahu, the child will have danger through fire at

the age 1 and 2 while in Sahaj year birds will bring some

evils.

 

23-25. UNFORTUNATE YEARS (continued): Danger through water

will have to be feared during Putr and Dharm years if Surya

is in Ari or Randhr while Chandr is in Vyaya from the said

Surya.

 

Shani in Randhr as Mangal is in Yuvati all cause small-pox,

in Karm year and 30th year of age.

 

If 8th lord joins Rahu in an angle/trine from Randhr Bhava

and be in Randhr in Navamsa, the subject will be troubled

by swelling of blood vessels, urinary disorders etc. during

the 18th year and the 22nd year.

 

26. LOSS THROUGH ENEMIES: Loss of wealth will come to pass

during the 31st year if Labh and 6th lords exchange their

Rasis.

 

27. INIMICAL SONS: One's own sons will be his enemies if

Putr lord is in Ari while Ari Lord is with Guru.

Simultaneously Vyaya lord should be in Lagn..

 

28. FEAR FROM DOGS: There will be fear from dogs during the

10th and 19th year if the Lagna lord and the 6th lord are

in exchange.

Chapter 18

 

Effects Of Yuvati Bhava

 

1. 0 excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me detailing the

effects of the 7th Bhava. If Yuvati lord is in his own

Rashi or in exaltation, one will derive full happiness

through his wife (and marriage),

 

2. SICK WIFE: Should Yuvati lord be in Ari, 8th or Vyaya,

the wife will be sickly. This, however, does not apply to

own bhava or exaltation placement as above.

 

3. EXCESSIVE LIBIDINOUSNESS/DEATH OF WIFE:

If Shukr is in Yuvati, the native will be exceedingly

libidinous.

 

If Shukr yuti a malefic in any bhava will cause loss of

wife.

 

4-5. THE 7TH LORD: Should Yuvati lord be endowed with

strength and be yuti with or be drishticd by a benefic,

the native will be wealthy, honourable, happy and

fortunate.

 

Conversely, if Yuvati lord is in fall or is combust or

is in an Enemy's Rashi, one will acquire sick wives and

many wives.

 

6. PLURALITY OF WIVES: If Yuvati lord is in a Rashi of

Shani or of Shukr and be drishtied by a benefic, there

will be many wives.

 

Should Yuvati lord be particularly in exaltation, the same

effects will come to pass (there will be many wives).

 

7-8 1/2. MlSCELLANEOUS MATTERS: The native will befriend

barren females (for sexual union) if Surya is in Yuvati.

 

Chandr therein will cause association with such female as

corresponding to the Rashi becoming Yuvati.

Mangal placed in Yuvati will denotes association with

marriageable girls (of those with menses) or with barren

females.

 

Buddh indicates harlots, mean females and females

belonging

to traders's community.

 

Wife of a Brahmin or a pregnant female will be in the

native's association if Guru is in Yuvati.

 

Base females and females having attained their courses are

denoted by Shani, Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati.

 

8-9 1/2. Mangal denotes a female with attractive breasts.

 

Shani indicates sick and weak spouse.

 

Guru will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts.

 

Shukr will bring one with bulky and excellent breasts.

10 13 1/2. Malefics in Vyaya and 7th while decreasing

Chandr is in Putr denote that the native will be

controlled by spouse who will be inimical to the race (or

family).

 

If Yuvati Bhava is occupied or owned by Shani/Mangal,

the native will beget a harlot as his spouse or he will be

attached to other illegally.

 

Should Shukr be in a Navamsa of Mangal or in a Rasi of

Mangal or receive a drishti from or be yuti with Mangal, the

native will "kiss" the private parts of the female.

 

If Shukr is so related to Shani, the native will "kiss"

the private parts of the male.

 

14-15. WORTHY SPOUSE: The native will beget a spouse

endowed with (the seven principal) virtues who will expand

his dynasty by sons and grandsons if the 7th lord is

exalted while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna lord and

a benefic.

 

16. EVILS TO SPOUSE: If Yuvati Bhava or its lord is yuti

with a malefic the native's wife will incur evils,

especially if Yuvati Bhava or its lord is bereft of

strength.

 

17. LOSS OF SPOUSE: If Yuvati lord is devoid of strength

and is relegated to Ari, 8th or Vyaya, or if Yuvati lord

is in fall, the native's wife will be destroyed (i.e. she

will die early).

 

18. LACK OF CONJUGAL FELICITY: If Chandr is in Yuvati as

Yuvati lord is in Vyaya and the Karaka (indicator Shukr)

is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed with

marital happiness.

 

19-21. PLURALlIY OF WIVES: One will have two wives if

Yuvati lord is in fall, or in a malefic Rashi along with a

malefic while Yuvati Bhava or the 7th Navamsa belong to a

eunuch planet.

 

If Mangal and Shukr are in Yuvati or if Shani is Yuvati

while the lord of Lagn is in Randhr, the native will have

3 wives.

 

There will be many wives if Shukr is in a dual Rashi while

its lord is in exaltation as Yuvati lord is endowed with

strength.

 

22. TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto sloka 34): If Yuvati lord is in

a benefic's Bhava (or in Dharm as subha Rashi so means)

while Shukr is exalted or is in own Rashi, the native will

marry at the age of 5 or 9.

 

23. If Surya is in Yuvati while his dispositor is yuti

with Shukr, there will be marriage at 7th or 11th year of

age.

 

24. Shukr in Dhan while Yuvati lord is in Labh will give

marriage at the age of 10 or 16.

 

25. Marriage will take place during the 11th year if Shukr

is in an angle from Lagn while Lagn lord is in Makar or

Kumbh.

 

26. The native will marry at 12 or l9 if Shukr is in an

angle from the Lagna while Shani is in Yuvati counted from

Shukr.

 

27. Should Shukr be in Yuvati from Chandr while Shani is

in Yuvati from Shukr, marriage will be in the 18th year.

 

28. Marriage will be in the 15th year if Dhan lord is in

Labh while Lagn lord is in Karm.

 

29. An exchange between the lords of Dhan and Labh will

bring marriage 13 years after birth.

 

30. Ones 22nd/27th year will confer marriage if Shukr is

in Yuvati from the 8th Bhava (i.e. Dhan from Lagna), while

his dispositor is yuti with Mangal.

 

31. Should Yuvati lord be in Vyaya while the natal lord is

in Yuvati in Navamsa, marriage will be in 23rd/26th year

of age.

 

32. Either the 25th year or the 33rd year will bring

marriage if Randhr lord is in Yuvati as Shukr is in

Navamsa Lagna.

 

33. Should Shukr be in Dharm from Dharm (i.e. in Putr

Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the said bhavas (i.e. in

Putr/Dharm), marriage will take place during 31st or 33rd

year.

 

34. The native will marry at 30 or 27 if Shukr is in Lagn

while the 7th lord is in Yuvati itself.

 

35-39. TIMING OF WIFE'S DEATH: Loss of wife will occur in

the 18th year or 33rd year of age of the native if Yuvati

lord is in fall while Shukr is in Randhr.

 

One will lose his spouse in his 19th year if Yuvati lord

is in the 8th while Vyaya lord is in Yuvati.

The native's wife will die within three days of marriage

due to snake bite if the native has Rahu in Dhan and Mangal

in Yuvati.

 

If Shukr is in Randhr while his dispositor is in a Rashi

of Shani, death of wife will take place during the

native's 12th or 21st year of age.

 

Should the ascendat lord be in his Rashi of debilitation

as Dhan lord is in Randhr, loss of wife will occur in the

13th year of age.

 

40-41. THREE MARRIAGES: Should Chandr be in Yuvati from

Shukr while Buddh is in Yuvati from Chandr and Randhr lord

is in Putr (from the Lagna), there will be marriage in

Karm year followed by another in the 22nd year and yet

another in the 33rd year.

 

42. DEATH OF WlFE: lf Ari, 7th and 8th are in their order

occupied by Mangal, Rahu and Shani, the native's wife will

not live (long).

Chapter 19

 

Effects of Randhr Bhava

 

 

1. Long Life: O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me

speak on the effects of Randhr Bhava. If Randhr's lord is

in an angle, long life is indicated.

 

2. Short Life: Should Randhr's lord join Lagn's lord or a

malefic and be in Randhr itself, the native will be short

lived.

 

3. Shani and Karm's Lord about Longevity : Similarly,

consider Shani and Karm's lord in the matter of longevity.

 

3. Karm's lord is in Randhr along with a malefic grah

and/or Lagn's lord.

 

4-7. Long Life: There will be long life if Ari's lord is in

Vyaya; or if Ari's lord is in Ari as Vyaya's lord is in

Vyaya; or if Ari's lord and Vyaya's lord are in Lagn and

Randhr.

 

If the lords of Putr, Randhr, and Tanu Bhava are in own

Navamshas, own Rashis or in friendly Rashis, the native

will enjoy a long span of life.

 

Should the lords of Lagn, Randhr, and Karm Bhava and Shani

are all disposed severally in an angle, in a trine or in

Labh Bhava, the subject will live long. Like these, there

are many other yogas dealing with the issue of longevity.

The strength and weakness of the grahas concerned be

estimated in deciding longevity.

 

8-13. Short Life: One's span of life will be between 20 and

32 years if Lagn's lord is weak while Randhr's lord is an

angle.

 

The native will only be short-lived if Randhr's lord is in

fall, while Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it and Tanu Bhava

is bereft of strength.

Death will be instant at birth if Randhr Bhava, Randhr's

lord, and Vyaya Bhava are all conjunct malefics.

 

Malefics in angles and/or trines and benefics in Ari and/or

Randhr Bhava, while Tanu Bhava has in it Randhr's lord in

fall: this yoga will cause immediate end.

 

If Putr and Randhr Bhava and Randhr's lord are all conjunct

malefics, the life span will be very brief.

 

Within a month of birth, death will befall the child if

Randhr's lord is in Randhr itself while Chandr is with

malefics and be bereft of beneficial drishti.

 

14-15. Long Life (again): One will be long-lived if Lagn's

lord is in exaltation, while Chandr and Guru are

respectively in Labh and Randhr Bhava.

 

If Lagn's lord is exceedingly strong and receives a drishti

from a benefic which is placed in an angle, the person

concerned will be wealthy, virtuous and long-lived.

Chapter 20

 

Effects Of Dharm Bhava

 

 

Combinations for Fortunes: O Brahmin, now listen to the

effects of Dharm Bhava. One will be fortunate (or affluent)

if Dharm's lord is in Dharm Bhava with strength.

 

Should Guru be in Dharm Bhava while Dharm's lord is in an

angle and Lagn's lord is endowed with strength, one will be

extremely fortunate.

 

3. Fortunate (Affluent) Father: If Dharm's lord is with

strength as Shukr is in Dharm, while Guru is in an angle

from Tanu Bhava, the native's father is fortunate.

 

4. Indigent Father: If Dharm's lord is debilitated while

the 2nd and/or the 4th from Dharm Bhava is occupied by

Mangal, the native's father is poor.

5. Long-living Father: Should Dharm's lord be in deep

exaltation while Shukr is in an angle from Tanu Bhava and

Guru is in the 9th from Navamsh Lagn, the father of the

native will enjoy a long span of life.

 

6. Royal Status for Father: If Dharm's lord is an angle and

receives a drishti from Guru, the native's father will be a

king endowed with conveyances or be equal to a king.

 

7. Wealthy and Famous Father: Should Dharm's lord be in

Karm Bhava, while Karm's lord receives a drishti from a

benefic the native's father will be very rich and famous.

 

8-9. Virtuous and Devoted to Father: Should Surya be in

deep exaltation as Dharm's lord is in Labh Bhava, the

native will be virtuous, dear to the king, and devoted to

father.

 

If Surya is in a trine from Lagna, while Dharm's lord is in

Yuvati in yuti with or receiving a drishti from Guru, the

native will be devoted to his father.

10. Fortunes, etc.: Acquisition of fortunes, conveyances,

and fame will follow the 32nd year of age if Dharm's lord

is in Dhan, while Dhan's lord is in Dharm.

 

11. Inimical to Father: There will be mutual enmity between

the father and the native if Lagn's lord is in Dharm Bhava,

but with the lord of Ari. Further, the native's father will

be of contemptible disposition.

 

12. Begged Food: If Karm's lord and Sahaj's lord are bereft

of strength, while Dharm's lord is in fall or combust the

native will go begging for his food.

 

13-25. Combinations for Father's Death: The father of the

native would have passed away prior to the native's birth

if Surya is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava as Randhr's lord

is in Dharm Bhava, Vyaya's lord is in Tanu Bhava, and Ari's

lord is in Putr Bhava.

 

Should Surya be in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr's lord is in

Dharm, the native's father will pass away within a year of

his birth.

 

If the lord of Vyaya Bhava is in Dharm Bhava, while Dharm's

lord is in its debilitation Navamsh, the native's father

will face his end during the 3rd or the 16th year of the

native.

 

Death of father will occur in the 2nd or the 12th year, if

Lagn's lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Randhr's lord is with

Surya.

 

Should Rahu be in the 8th from Dharm (i.e. Bandhu Bhava),

as Surya is in the 9th from Dharm (i.e. Putr Bhava), death

of father will take place in the 16th or the 18th year of

the native.

 

If Shani is in the 9th from Chandr, as Surya is with Rahu,

the native's father will die in the 7th or the 19th year of

the native.

 

The native in his 44th year will lose his father if Dharm's

lord is in Vyaya, as Vyaya's lord is in Dharm.

 

If Lagn's lord is in Randhr Bhava as Chandr is in Surya's

Navamsh, the native in his 35th or 41st year will lose his

father.

 

One will lose his father in the 50th year if Surya, being

the lord of Dharm, is conjunct Mangal and Shani.

 

If Surya is in the 7th from Dharm Bhava (i.e. Sahaj Bhava),

as Rahu is in the 7th from Sahaj Bhava (i.e. Dharm Bhava),

the 6th or 25th year of the native will be fatal for

father.

 

If Shani is in the 7th from Randhr Bhava (i.e. Dhan Bhava),

as Surya is in the 7th from Shani (i.e. Randhr Bhava), the

ages of 21, 26, or 30 will be fatal for the father.

 

If Dharm's lord is in its debilitation rashi, while his

dispositor is in Dharm Bhava, the native will lose his

father at the age of 26 or 30. Thus, the Jyotishis may know

the effects (of Dharm Bhava).

 

26. Fortunes: One will enjoy abundant fortunes if Shukr is

in deep exaltation and be in the company of Dharm's lord,

as Shani is in Sahaj.

 

27-28. Fortunate Periods: Abundant fortunes be acquired

after the 20th year if Dharm has Guru in it, as its lord is

in an angle from Lagn.

 

Should Buddh be in his deep exaltation as Dharm's lord is

in Dharm itself, abundant fortunes will be earned after the

36th year.

 

29. Should Lagn's lord be in Dharm as Dharm's lord is in

Lagn, and Guru is in Yuvati, there will be gains of wealth

and conveyances.

 

30. Lack of Fortunes: If Rahu is in the 9th from Dharm

Bhava (i.e. Putr Bhava), as his dispositor is in Randhr

Bhava, and Dharm's lord is in fall, the native be devoid of

fortunes.

 

31. Food by Begging: Should Shani be in Dharm Bhava along

with Chandr, as Lagn's lord is in fall, the native will

acquire food by begging.

 

32. 0 Brahmin, these are the effects related to Dharm

Bhava. I have explained (these) briefly. These may be

(further, estimated with the help of the state of the lords

of Lagn and Dharm Bhava and in other manners as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 21

 

Effects of Karm Bhava

 

1. I now explain the effects of Karm Bhava. Listen to

these, O Maitreya, in the words of Brahma, Garga, and

others.

 

2. Paternal Happiness: If Karm's lord is strong and in

exaltation or in its own Rashi/Navamsh, the native will

derive extreme paternal happiness, will enjoy fame, and

will perform good deeds.

 

3. If Karm's lord is devoid of strength, the native will

face obstructions in his work.

 

If Rahu is in an angle or in a trine, he will perform

religious sacrifices like Jyotishtoma.

 

4. If Karm's lord is with a benefic or be in an auspicious

Bhava, one will always gain through royal patronage and in

business. In a contrary situation, only opposite results

will come to pass.

 

5. Should Karm and Labh Bhava be both occupied by malefics

the native will indulge only in bad deeds and will defile

his own men.

 

6. If the lord of Karm Bhava is relegated to Randhr Bhava

along with Rahu, the native will hate others; be a great

fool and will do bad deeds.

 

7. If Shani, Mangal, and Karm's lord are in Yuvati, as

Yuvati's lord is with a malefic, the native will be fond of

carnal pleasures and of filing his belly.

 

8-10 Should Karm's lord be in exaltation and be in the

company of Guru as Dharm's lord is in Karm the native will

be endowed with honour, wealth, and valour.

 

One will lead a happy life if Labh's lord is in Karm and

Karm's lord is in Lagn, or if the lord of Karm Bhava is

yuti with the lord of Labh Bhava in an angle.

 

Should Karm's lord in strength be in Meen along Guru, the

native will doubtless obtain robes, ornaments, and

happiness.

 

11. Should Rahu, Surya, Shani, and Mangal be in Labh Bhava,

the native will incur cessation of his duties.

 

12. One will be learned and wealthy if Guru is in Meen

along with Shukr, while Lagn's lord is strong and Chandr is

in exaltation.

 

13. Should Karm's lord be in Labh, while Labh's lord is in

Tanu Bhava and Shukr is in Karm, the native will be endowed

with precious stones.

 

14. If the Karm's lord is exalted in an angle or a trine,

lordships (for the same placement). If contrary results are

thus indicated, the results will be nullified, while

results of varied nature will come to pass. The grah will

yield full, half, or a quarter of the effects according to

its strength being full, medium, and negligible

respectively. Thus, I have told you about the effects due

to bhava lords in various bhavas.

Chapter 26

 

Evaluation of Drishtis of Grahas

 

 

1. O Glorious, it is said that drishtis (of grahas) and

their strengths are to be known in deciding the effects.

How many kinds are these? Please clarify doubts.

 

2-5. Drishtis of the grahas: O Brahmin, I have earlier

stated drishtis based on rashis. The other kind is between

grahas which I detail below. 3rd and 10th, 5th and 9th, 4th

and 8th, and lastly 7th: on these places the drishtis

increase gradually in slabs of quarters i.e 1/4, 1/2,

3/4th, and full. The effects (due to such drishtis) will

also be proportionate. All grahas give a drishti to the 7th

fully. Shani, Guru and Mangal have special drishtis

respectively on the 3rd and the10th, the 5th and the 9th,

and the 4th and the 8th. The ancient preceptors have

explained these which ordinary (arising by mere rashi

positions). By subtle mathematical calculations, these

drishtis will have to be clearly understood as under.

 

6-8. Evaluations of the Drishtis of the Grahas: Deduct the

longitude of the grah (or bhava) that receives a drishti

from that of the grah which gives the drishti. If the sum

exceeds six rashis (or 180 degrees) deduct the sum again

from 10 rashis (or 300 degrees). Convert the latter sum

into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is

Drishti Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference

(between the grah that gives the drishti and the grah that

receives the drishti) is in excess of 5 rashis, ignore the

rashis and multiply the degrees, etc., by 2 which is the

value of the drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4

rashis deduct it from 5 rashis (or 150 degrees) and the

resultant degees, etc., become the Drishti value. If the

difference is in excess of 3 rashis deduct it from 4 rashis

(or 120 degrees) and 'halve the product to be increased by

30' (?) to get the Drishti value. If the difference is

above 2 rashis ignore the rashis and add 15 to the degrees,

etc., to get the Drishti value. If it is in excess of one

rashi, ignore the rashis and divide the degrees by 2 to get

Drishti value.

 

9-10. Special consideration for Shani's drishtis: O

Brahmin, if Shani is the grah that gives a drishti find out

the difference between him and the grah that receives the

drishti; if the sum is above 1 rashi, multiply the degrees,

etc., (ignoring rashi) by 2 to get the Drishti value. If

the sum is above nine rashis, the degrees to elapse be

doubled to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above 2

rashis, the degrees, etc., (in excess of 2 rashis) be

halved and deducted from 60. If the sum exceeds 8 rashis,

add to the degrees, etc., a figure of 30 to get the Drishti

value. In other cases, the sums be processed as explained

earlier.

 

11. Special consideration for Mangal's drishtis: Deduct the

longitude of Mangal from that of the grah that receives the

drishti (from Mangal). If the sum is 3 rashis & c (?) or 7

rashis & c, the degrees, etc., (after ignoring rashis) be

reduced from 60. If it is above 2 rashis, the degrees,

etc., be increased by half of it (i.e. add 50x) and

superadd 15. If the sum is 6 rashis, one Rup is the value.

 

12. Special consideration for Guru's drishtis: Deduct the

longitude of Guru from that of the grah taht receives the

drishti from Guru. If the resultant sum is 3 rashis & c or

7 rashis & c, halve the degrees, etc., (ignoring rashis)

and increase it by 15. It the sum is 4 rashis & c or 8

rashis 8 & c, the degrees, etc., (ignoring rashis) be

subtracted from 60 This will be the Drishti value. The sum

being in conformity with others than these be treated as

stated earlier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 27

 

Evaluation Of Strengths

 

Shad Bal consists of the following:

 

1. Sthan Bal (or positional strength);

2. Dig Bal (or directional strength);

3. Kaal Bal (Temporal Strength) inclusive of Ayan Bal (or

equinoctial strength);

4. Chesht Bal (or motional strength);

5. Naisargika Bal (or natural strength);

6. Drik Bal (or aspectual strength).

These strengths are computed for the seven grahas from

Surya to Shani. The nodes are not considered.

 

Sthan Bal comprises of the following considerations:

1. Uchch Bal (or exaltation strength)

2. Sapt Vargaj Bal (or strength accruing out of positions

in Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Saptamsh, Navamsh,

Dvadashamsh, and Trimshamsh).

3. Ojhayugmarashiamsh Bal (strength acquired by placement

in odd or even rashi and in odd or even Navamsh).

4. Kendradi Bal (due to placement in Kon, or Panaphara, or

Apoklima Bhava).

5. Dreshkan Bal (due to placement in first, second or

third decanate of a rashi).

 

Kaal Bal (or Temporal Strength) comprises of the

following sub divisions:

l) Nathonnata Bal (diurnal and nocturnal strengths).

2) Paksh Bal (Paksh=fortnight).

3) Tribhag Bal (strength due to day/night being made in 3

parts)

4) Varsh, Maas, Dina, and Hora Bal (Varsh = astrological

year, Maas = month, Dina = week day, and

Hora = planetary hour).

5) Ayan Bal (equinoctural strength)

6) Yudhdh Bal (strength due to partaking in war between

grahas)

1-1 1/2. Sthan Bal (up to sloka 6) Firstly Uchch Bal: Now,

about the strengths by classes positional, temporal, etc..

(Firstly, Uchch Bal forming part of positional strength or

Sthan Bal). Deduct from the longitude of the grah its

(deep) debilitation point. If the sum is less than 6

rashis, consider it as it is; if it exceeds 6 rashis,

deduct the same from 12 rashis. The sum so got be converted

into degrees, etc., and divided by 3 which is the grah's

Uchch Bal (or exaltation strength) in Virupas.

 

 

2-4. Sapt Vargaj Bal: If a grah is in its Mooltrikon Rashi,

it gets 45 Virupas, in Svasth Rashi, 30 Virupas, in

Pramudit Rashi 20 Virupas, in Shant Rashi 15 Virupas, in

Din Rashi 10 Virupas, in Duhkhit Rashi 4 Virupas, and in

Khal Rashi 2 Virupas. Similarly, these values occur for the

other 6 divisional occupations, viz. Hora, Dreshkan,

Saptamsh, Navamsh, Dvadashamsh, and Trimshamsh. When all

these are added together the grah's Sapt Vargaj Bal

emerges.

4 1/2. Ojhayugmarashiamsh Bal: Each of Shukr and Chandr in

even rashis and others in odd rashis acquire a quarter of

Rupa (i.e. 15 Virupas). These are applicable to such

Navamshas also.

 

 

5. Kendradi Bal: A grah in a Kon gets full strength, while

one in Panaphara Bhava gets half, and the one in Apoklima

Bhava gets a quarter (of Rupa) as Kendradi Bal.

 

 

6. Dreshkan Bal: Male, female, and hermaphrodite grahas

respectively get a quarter Rupa according to placements in

the first, second and third decanates.

 

 

7-7 1/2. Dig Bal (or Directional Strength): Deduct Bandhu

Bhava (i.e. Nadir) from the longitudes of Surya and Mangal;

Yuvati Bhava (i.e. descendant) from that of Guru and Buddh;

Karm Bhava (i.e. meridian) from that of Shukr and Chandr;

and lastly Lagn from that of Shani. If the sum is above 180

degrees deduct the sum from 360. The sum arrived in either

way be divided by 3 which will be Dig Bal (or Directional

Strength ) of the grah.

 

 

8-9. Kaal Bal (or Temporal Strength) (up to sloka 17):

Firstly, Nathonnata Bal:

Find out the difference between midnight and the apparent

birth time which is called Unnata. Deduct Unnata from 30

ghatis to obtain Nata. Double the Nata in ghatis which will

indicate identical Nata Bal for Chandr, Mangal, and Shani.

Deduct the Nata from 60 to know the Unnata Bal of Surya,

Guru, and Shukr. Buddh, irrespective of day and night, gets

full Nathonnata Bal (i.e. 1 Rupa or 60 Virupas).

 

 

10-11. Paksh Bal: Deduct from Chandr's longitude that of

Surya. If the sum exceeds 6 rashis, deduct the same from

12. The product so obtained be converted into degrees,

etc., and divided by 3 which will indicate the Paksh Bal of

each of the benefic grahas. The Paksh Bal of benefic should

be deducted from 60 which will go to each malefic as Paksh

Bal.

 

 

12. Tribagh Bal: One Rupa is obtained by Buddh (if birth

is) in the first one third part of day time, by Surya in

the second one third part of the day and by Shani in the

last third part of the day. Similarly, Chandr, Shukr, and

Mangal get full Bal (of one Rupa) in the first, second, and

last one third parts of the night. Guru gets this Bal at

all times.

 

 

13. Varsh - Maas - Dina - Hora Bal:

15, 30, 45, and 60 Virupas are in order given to Varsh

lord, Maas lord, Dina lord, and Hora lord. Naisargika

Bal (or natural strength) has already been explained.

 

(The Varsh lord is the lord of the day on which the

astrological year of birth starts. To calculate this we

first need the number of days past from the beginning of

Creation, the Ahargan. According to late Rev. Ebenezer

Burgess, who translated Surya Siddhanta in English, as on

January 1, 1860, the number of days past from the beginning

of Creation are 714,404,108,573.

Divide the number of days past from the day of Creation

till the day of birth by 60. Reject remainder and multiply

the quotient by 3. Increase the post-multiplied product by

1 and divide by 7. The remainder will indicate the week day

on which the astrological year giving birth to the native

opened. Remainder 1 indicates Sunday, 2 indicates Monday,

and so on and so forth.

 

Maas lord: Divide the same Ahargan by 30 and the quotient

(devoid of remainder) indicates months passed from Creation

to birth. The completed months be multiplied by 2 and

increased by 1. The latter sum should be divided by 7 and

the remainder indicates on which day the birth month began.

Continuing with the same case, we divide 65295 by 30.

Quotient is 2176. This sum multiplied by 2 and increased by

1 denotes 4353. Dividing 4353 by 7, we get a remainder of 6

denoting Friday. That is, the month of birth began on

Friday and the Maas Bal goes to Shukr, the lord of Friday.

 

Dina lord: Though the week day of birth can be known from

ephemeris or perpetual calendars, we better adopt the

method prescribed which will confirm if the Ahargan

followed is correct or is otherwise. The number of days as

arrived above indicating Ahargan be divided by 7 and the

remainder will indicate the week day of birth.

 

Hora Bal: Hora means planetary hour. Each day from sunrise

to sunrise is divided into 24 equal parts of one hour or

2.5 ghatikas. These Horas are ruled by the 7 grahas from

Surya to Shani. The first Hora of the day is ruled by the

lord of the week day. The 2nd one is ruled by the lord of

the 6th week day counted from the first ruler. The 3rd Hora

is ruled by the lord of the 6th week day counted from the

2nd Hora lord. Similarly, it proceeds in the same manner

till the first Hora of the next day is taken over by the

lord of that day himself. Whichever grah rules the birth

Hora gets the Hora Bal. Horas are to be calculated for mean

local time and not standard time of births).

14. Naisargika Bal (Natural Strength): Divide one Rupa (or

60 Virupas) by 7 and multiply the resultant product by 1 to

7 separately, which will indicate the Naisargika Bal due to

Shani, Mangal, Buddh, Guru, Shukr, Chandr, and Surya,

respectively.

 

 

15-17. Ayan Bal: 45, 33, and 12 are the Khandas for

calculating Ayan Bal. Add Ayanamsh to the grah (for which

Ayan Bal is required) and find out the Bhuja (distance from

the nearest equinox). Add the figure corresponding to the

rashi (of the Bhuja) to the Bhuja. The degrees, etc., of

the Bhuja (devoid of rashi) should be multiplied by the

figure corresponding to the highest of the left out Khandas

and divided by 30. Add the resultant product to the sum

obtained earlier. Convert this to rashi, degrees, minutes,

and seconds. If Chandr and Shani are in Tula or ahead add

to this 3 Rashis, and if in Mesh to Kanya reduce from this

3 Rashis. Similarly, it is reverse for Surya, Mangal,

Shukr, and Guru (i.e. addition or deduction in converse).

For Buddh 3 Rashis are always additive. The resultant sum

in Rashi, degrees, and minutes be divided by 3 to get the

Ayan Bal in Rupas.

 

Notes: Ayan Bal can be found out on the following simple

formula.

 

23 degrees 27' + Kranti

Ayan Bal = ------------------------ x 60 =

46 degrees 54'

 

(23 degrees 27' plus or minus Kranti) x 1.2793

 

The following points have to be remembered in respect of

Krantis. When Chandr or Shani have Southern Kranti, or when

Surya, Mangal, Guru, or Shukr have Northern Kranti, take

plus. In a contrary situation in respect of these 6 grahas,

take minus. As far as Buddh is concerned, it is always plus

whether he has Southern Kranti or Northern Kranti. Krantis

(or declinations) can be ascertained from a standard modern

ephemeris.

Surya's Ayan Bal is again multiplied by 2 whereas for

others the product arrived in Virupas is considered as it

is.

 

 

18. Motional Strength for Surya and Chandr: Surya's Chesht

Bal (or motional strength) will correspond to his Ayan Bal.

Chandr's Paksh Bal will itself be her Chesht Bal.

 

 

19. Drik Bal (Strength of Drishti): Reduce one fourth of

the Drishti Pinda if a grah receives malefic drishtis and

add a fourth if it receives a drishti from a benefic. Super

add the entire drishti of Buddh and Guru to get the net

strength of a grah.

 

 

20. War Between Grahas: Should there be a war between the

starry grahas (i.e. between 2 grahas from Mangal to Shani,

in a given Janm Kundali), the difference between the Shad

Balas of the two should be added to the victor's Shad Bal

and deducted from the Shad Bal of the vanquished.

 

 

21-23. Motions of Grahas (Mangal to Shani): Eight kinds of

motions are attributed to grahas. These are Vakr

(retrogression), Anuvakr (entering the previous rashi in

retrograde motion), Vikal (devoid of motion or in

stationary position), Mand (somewhat slower motion than

usual), Mandatar (slower than the previous mentioned

motion), Sama (somewhat increasing in motion as against

Mand), Char (faster than Sama) and Atichar (entering next

rashi in accelerated motion). The strengths allotted due to

such 8 motions are: 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45, and 30.

 

24-25. Motional Strength for Mangal, etc.: Add together the

mean and true longitudes of a grah and divide the one by

two. Reduce this sum from the Seeghroch (or apogee) of the

grah. The resultant product will indicate the Chesht Kendra

(or Seeghr kendra) of the Grah from 12 rashis. The rashi,

degrees ,and minutes so arrived should be converted into

degrees, minutes, etc., and divided by 3 which will denote

the motional strength of the grah. Thus, there are six

sources of strength called Sthan, Bal, Dig Bal, Kaal Bal,

Drik Bal, Chesht Bal, and Naisargika Bal.

 

 

26-29. Bhava Balas: Thus, I explained about the strengths

of the grahas. Deduct Yuvati Bhava (longitude of

descendant) from the bhava if the bhava happens to be in

Kanya, Mithun, Tula, Kumbh or the first half of Dhanu.

 

If Mesh, Vrishabh, Simh, or first half of Makar, or the

second half of Dhanu happen to be the bhava, deduct Bandhu

Bhava (Nadir) from it.

 

Should the bhava be in Kark or in Vrischik deduct from it

Lagn.

 

Deduct Karm Bhava (Meridian) from the bhava happening to

fall in Makar second half, or Meen.

 

Convert the product so obtained (in the respective case)

into degrees etc., and divide by 3 to get Bhava Bal. If the

balance in the process of deducting Nadir, Meridian, Lagn,

or Yuvati exceeds 6 rashis, deduct it again from 12 rashis

before converting into degrees and dividing by 3. The

product after division should be increased by one fourth if

the bhava in question receives a benefic drishti. If the

bhava receives a malefic drishti one fourth should be

reduced. If Guru or Buddh give a drishti to a bhava, add

that grah's Drik Bal also. And then, super add the strength

acquired by the lord of that bhava. This will be the net

Bhava Bal.

 

30-31. Special Rules: The bhavas occupied by Guru and Buddh

will each get an addition of 1 rupa, while each of the

bhavas occupied by Shani, Mangal, and Surya suffer 1 rupa

reduction. 15 Virupas will have to be added to the bhavas

falling in Seershodaya Rashis if birth happens to be in day

time, to the bhavas falling in dual (or common) rashis if

birth happens to be in twilight and to the bhavas falling

in Prishtodaya Rashis if birth be in night time.

32-33. Shad Bal Requirements: 390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330,

and 300 Virupas are the Shad Bal Pindas needed for Surya,

etc., (up to Shani) to be considered strong. If the

strength exceeds the above mentioned values, the grah is

deemed to be very strong.

(In rupas the minimum Shad Bal requirements of the grahas

are:

Surya = 6.5 Rupas

Chandr= 6.0 Rupas

Mangal = 5.0 Rupas

Buddh = 7.0 Rupas

Guru = 6.5 Rupas

Shukr = 5.5 Rupas

Shani = 5.0 Rupas )

 

If a Grah has the required Shad Bal, it will prove

favourable to the native by virtue of its strength.

However, Shani's extreme strength will give long life as

well as miseries (grief).

 

34-36. Guru, Buddh, and Surya are strong if each of their

Sthan Bal, Dig Bal, Kaal Bal, Chesht Bal, and Ayan Bal are

respectively 165, 35, 50, 112 and 30 Virupas. The same

required for Chandr and Shukr are 133, 50, 30, 100, and 40.

For Mangal and Shani these are 96, 30, 40, 67, and 20.

 

Guru, Buddh, Chandr, Shukr. Mangal, Shani.

Surya

Sthan Bal 165 133 96

Dig Bal 35 50 30

Kaal Bal 50 30 40

Chesht Bal 112 100 67

Ayan Bal 30 40 20

 

 

37-38. Bhava Effects: O Brahmin, thus the various sources

of strengths be gathered together and effects declared.

Whatever Yogas, or effects, have been stated with respect

to a bhava, will come to pass through the strongest grah.

 

 

39-40. Eligibility of Issue Fruitful Predictions: O

Maitreya, the words of one who has achieved skill in

mathematics, one who has put in industrious efforts in the

branch of grammar, one who has knowledge of justice, one

who is intelligent, one who has knowledge of geography,

space and time, one who has conquered his senses, one who

is skilfully logical (in estimation), and one who is

favourable to Jyotish, will doubtless be truthful.

Chapter 28

 

Isht and Kasht Balas

 

1. Now I narrate the benefic and malefic tendencies of

the grahas based on which the Dasha effects (good or bad)

can be decided.

 

 

2. Exaltation Rays: Deduct the grah's debilitation point

from its actual position. If the sum exceeds 6 rashis,

deduct from 12 rashis. The said sum should then be

increased by 1 rashi. The degrees, etc., be multiplied by 2

which, when considered along with rashis, will indicate the

Uchch Rasmi of the grah.

 

 

3-4. Chesht Rasmi: Chesht Rasmis are to be calculated from

Chesht Kendr similar to Uchch Rasmi computations. The

Chesht Kendras of grahas from Mangal to Shani have already

been explained. Add 3 rashis to Sayan Surya (i.e. with

Ayanamsh), which will be the Chesht Kendr for Surya. The

sidereal longitude of Surya should be deducted from Chandr

to get Chandr's Chesht Kendr. If the Chesht Kendr (for any

grah) is in excess of 6 rashis, deduct it from 12 rashis.

Add 1 rashi and multiply the degrees, etc., by 2 which will

indicate the Chesht Rasmi of the grah.

 

 

5. Benefic and Malefic Rays: Add the Uchch Rasmis and

Chesht Rasmis together and divide by two. The result will

be auspicious rays (Subh Rasmis). Deduct from 8 the Subh

Rasmis to obtain inauspicious rays (or Asubh Rasmis).

 

 

6. Isht and Kasht (Benefic and Malefic Tendencies): Reduce

1 from each of Chesht Rasmi and Uchch Rasmi. Then, multiply

the products by 10 and add together. Half of the sum will

represent the Isht Phala (benefic tendency) of the grah.

Reduce Isht Phala from 60 to obtain the grah's Kasht Phala

(or malefic tendency).

7-9. Isht and Kasht and Sapt Varg Phal: 60, 45, 30, 22, 15,

8, 4, 2, and 0 are the Subhankas (or Subha Griha Pankthis,

or benefic points) due to a grah's placement respectively

in exaltation, Mooltrikon, own, great friend's, friend's,

neutral, enemy's, great enemy's, and debilitation rashi. If

Subhanka is deducted from 60, Asubhanka (or Asubh Pankthi,

or inauspicious points) will emerge. O Brahmin, in other

vargas, these are halved.

 

 

10. A grah is considered auspicious in the first five of

the said places. In the sixth place it is neutral, i.e.

neither good nor bad. And in the other three places it is

inauspicious.

 

 

11-12. Nature of Effects due to Dig Bal, etc.: The

directional strength of a grah is itself representative of

the effects due to the direction; and Dig Bal itself is

indicated of effects due to the day. Whatever quantum of

Dig Bal, etc., are obtained by a grah will be the extent of

auspicious effects acquirable on account of that strength.

Deducting those figures from 60, the extent of

inauspiciousness is known. If auspiciousness is more in the

case of a grah's strength, the Dasha and bhavas related to

that grah will be auspicious. These are converse if

inauspiciousness is predominant.

 

 

13-14. Sapt Varg Phal and Isht and Kasht (Continued): The

various strengths (i.e. the other 6 vargas vide slokas 7-9

supra) be multiplied by the respective grah's Shad Bal

Pinda which will indicate the auspiciousness of the Varg

concerned. Auspicious or inauspicious aspect will be by

multiplying the Subh or Asubh Pankthi. Similarly,

auspicious or inauspicious effects will be known by

multiplying the auspicious or inauspicious strength by the

respective Pankthi.

 

 

15-20. Effects of a Bhava: The strength of a bhava and its

lord have already been explained. The actual effects will

be a combination of bhava strength and its lord's strength.

If there is a benefic in the bhava add the same to the

auspicious effects and deduct from inauspicious effects,

which will denote the inauspicious effects. If a malefic is

in the bhava, reverse the process, i.e. add inauspicious

effects and deduct auspicious effects. Similarly, drishtis

and Balas. If a grah is exalted or with such a dignity, add

auspicious effects and reduce inauspicious effects. For

debilitation etc., it is converse. In Ashtak Varg, add

Bindus (auspicious points) and deduct Karanas (inauspicious

points). If a bhava extends to two rashis, the

rectification will be done as per both the lords. In that

case which ever rashi has more Bindus that rashi will yield

more favourable results concerning that bhava. If both the

rashis have more auspicious Bindus take the average. Thus,

the auspicious and inauspicious effects of a bhava be

understood.

Chapter 29

 

Bhava Padas

 

1-3. Method of Bhava Calculation : O Brahmin, I shall now

tell you about the Padas (or Arudhas) for bhavas and grahas

as well, as laid down by the earlier Maharishis. The Pad of

Lagn will correspond to the rashi arrived at by counting so

many rashis from Lagn's lord as he is away from Tanu Bhava.

Similarly, Padas for other bhavas be known through their

lords. The word "Pad"exclusively denotes the Pad for Lagn

(or Lagn Pad).

 

(Names of the 12 Arudhas are:

 

1. Lagn Pad (or simply Pad) : Arudh of Tanu Bhava.

2. Dhan Pad : Arudh of Dhan Bhava.

3. Vikram (Bhratru) Pad : Arudh of Sahaj Bhava.

4. Matru (Sukh) Pad : Arudh of Bandhu Bhava.

5. Mantra or Putr Pad : Arudh of Putr Bhava

6. Rog or Satru Pad : Arudh of Ari Bhava

7. Dar Pad (Kalatr Pad) : Arudh of Yuvati Bhava

8. Maran Pad : Arudh of Randhr Bhava.

9. Pitru Pad : Arudh of Dharm Bhava

10. Karm Pad : Arudh of Karm Bhava.

11. Labh Pad : Arudh of Labh Bhava.

12. Vyaya Pad : Arudh of Vyaya Bhava. )

 

4-5. Special Exceptions: The same bhava or the 7th from it

does not become its Pad. When the Pad falls in the same

bhava, the 10th there from be treated as its Pad.

Similarly, when the 7th becomes the Pad of a bhava, the 4th

from the original bhava in question be treated as its Pad.

If the ruler of a bhava be in the 4th from the bhava, then

the very bhava occupied be noted as the Pad.

 

6-7. Padas for Grahas: Note the position of a grah and see

how many rashis away is its own rashi with reference to its

position. Count so many rashis from the said own rashi and

the resultant rashi will become the Arudh of the grah. If a

grah owns two rashis or if a rashi is owned by two grahas;

consider the stronger and declare effects accordingly.

8-11. Pad and Finance: (up to sloka 15) O Brahmin, I now

tell you of some effects of grahas based on Pad. If the

11th from Lagn Pad is occupied or receives a drishti from a

grah the native will be happy and rich;

 

wealth will come through various means if a benefic is

related as above.

 

A malefic will confer wealth through questionable means.

 

If there be both a benefic and a malefic, it wil be through

both means.

 

If the grah in question (i.e. the one so related to the

11th from Lagn Pad) be in exaltation or in own rashi, etc.,

there will be plenty of gains and plenty of happiness.

 

12. 0 excellent of the Brahmins, if the 12th from Lagn Pad

does not receive a drishti as the 11th from Lagn Pad

receives a drishti from a grah, then, the gains will be

uninterrupted.

13-15. 0 Brahmin, the quantum of gains will correspond to

the number of grahas in or giving a drishti to the 11th

from Lagn Pad. If there is Argala for the said 11th there

will be more gains, while a benefic Argala will bring still

more gains. If the said benefic causing Argala is in his

exaltation rashi, the gains will be still higher. If the

said 11th receives a drishti from a benefic from Lagn, the

9th, etc., gains will increase in the ascending order. In

all these cases, the 12th from Pad should simultaneously be

free from malefic association.

 

A benefic placed in Lagn giving a drishti to the 11th from

Arudh Lagn will be still beneficial.

 

If the drishti is from the 9th from Lagn, it will confer

much more gains.

 

16-17. Pad and Financial Losses: (up to sloka 21): If the

12th from Lagn Pad receives a drishti from or is yuti with

both benefics and malefics, there will be abundant earnings

but plenty of expenses, The benefic will cause through fair

means, malefic through unfair means and mixed grahas

through both fair and unfair means.

 

18. If the 12th from Lagn Pad is conjunct Surya, Shukr, and

Rahu, there will be loss of wealth through the king.

 

Chandr giving a drishti to (the said trio in the said

bhava) will specifically cause more such losses.

 

19. If Buddh is in the 12th from Lagn Pad and is yuti with

or receives a drishti from a benefic similarly there will

be expenses through paternal relatives.

 

A malefic so related to the said Buddh will cause loss of

wealth through disputes.

 

20. 0 Brahmin, if Guru is in the 12th from Lagn Pad,

receiving a drishti from others, the expenses will be

through taxes and on the person himself.

 

21. 0 Brahmin, if Shani is in the 12th from Lagn Pad along

with Mangal and receives a drishti from others, the

expenses will be through one's co-born.

22. Gainful Sources: Whatever sources of expenses are

indicated above with reference to the 12th from Lagn Pad,

gains through similar sources will occur if Labh Bhava so

features with reference to Lagn Pad.

 

23. The 7th Bhava from Pad (up to sloka 27): If Rahu or

Ketu is placed in the 7th from Lagn Pad, the native will be

troubled by disorders of the stomach, or by fire.

 

24. Should there be Ketu in the 7th from Lagn Pad receiving

a drishti from or being yuti with another malefic, the

native will be adventurous, will have (prematurely) grey

hair and a big male organ.

 

25. Should one, two, or all three of Guru, Shukr, and

Chandr be in the 7th from Lagn Pad, the native will be very

wealthy.

 

26. Whether a benefic or a malefic if be exalted in the 7th

from Lagn Pad, the native will be affluent, and be famous.

 

27. O Brahmin, these yogas as narrated by me with reference

to the 7th from Lagn Pad should also be considered from the

2nd of Lagn Pad.

 

28. Anyone of Buddh, Guru, and Shukr being exalted in the

2nd from Lagn Pad and being with strength, will make the

subject rich.

 

29. The yogas so far stated by me with reference to Lagn

Pad be similarly evaluated from Karakamsh as well.

 

30-37. General: If Buddh is in the 2nd from Arudh Lagn, the

native will lord over the whole country.

 

Shukr in the 2nd from Lagn Pad will make one a poet or a

speaker.

 

If the Dar Pad (i e. the Pad of Yuvati Bhava) falls in an

angle or in a trine counted from Lagn Pad or if Lagn Pad

and Dar Pad both have strong grahas, the native will be

rich and be famous in his country.

 

If the Dar Pad falls in the 6th/ 8th/12th from Lagn Pad,

then the native will be poor.

 

If Lagn Pad and the 7th there from or an angle, a trine, an

Upachaya there from is occupied by a strong grah, there

will be happiness between the husband and wife.

 

 

If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are mutually in Kendras or Konas,

there will be amity between the couple;

 

if these be in mutually 6th/8th/12th, doubtlessly mutual

enmity will crop up. O Brahmin, similarly, mutual

relationship, or gain, or loss through son, etc., be known

based on Lagn Pad and the relative Bhava Pad.

 

If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are mutually angular or 3rd and

11th or in Konas, the native will be a king ruling the

earth.

 

Similar deductions be made with reference to mutual

positions of Lagn Pad and Dhan Pad.

Chapter 30

 

Upa Pad

 

1-6. 0 Brahmin, now I tell you about Upa Pad, the

auspiciousness of which will confer on the native happiness

from progeny, wife, etc.. The Pad of Lagn (i.e. Arudh Lagn)

as discussed earlier, is (of course) of prime importance.

Upa Pad is calculated for the bhava following the natal

Lagn. This Upa Pad is also called Gaun Pad.

 

O excellent of the Brahmins, if Upa Pad is yuti with or

receives a drishti from a benefic grah, one will obtain

full happiness from progeny and spouse.

 

Should the Upa Pad be in a malefic's rashi or receives a

drishti from or is yuti with a malefic, one will become an

ascetic and go without a wife.

 

If (in the said circumstances) there be a benefic drishti

(on Upa Pad or the related malefic), or a yuti, deprival of

spouse will not come to pass. In this case, Surya being

exalted or in a friendly rashi, is not a malefic. He is a

malefic if in debilitation or in an enemy's rashi.

 

Notes: Regarding Upa Pad calculations, there are more than

two views on the same sloka of Maharishi Parashar, or an

identical Sutra from Jaimini. In this text, the word

'Anuchar' is used which denotes "the bhava following the

Lagn at birth. Normally this is Vyaya Bhava.

However, when we study other commentaries on Jaimini (for

example Chaukhambh Hindi edition), we are taught that it is

Vyaya Bhava in the case of an odd rashi ascending, and it

is Dhan Bhava in the case of an even rashi ascending.

Accordingly, the Pad for the 12th or the 2nd from Lagn is

called Upa Pad. In calculating Upa Pad, the rules mentioned

in verses 4 and 5 of the previous chapter be kept in mind.

 

7-12. Effect from the 2nd from Upa Pad: If the 2nd from Upa

Pad is a benefic rashi or receives a drishti from or is

yuti with a benefic, the same good results (as for wife and

sons) will come to pass.

If there is a grah in the 2nd from Upa Pad in its

debilitation rashi/debilitation amsh or is yuti with a

debilitated, or malefic grah, there will be destruction of

wife.

 

If the said occupant be in its exaltation rashi, or Navamsh

or receives a drishti from another grah, there will be many

charming and virtuous wives.

 

Oh Brahmin, if Mithun happens to be the 2nd from Upa Pad,

then also there will be many wives.

 

O excellent of the Brahmins, if the Upa Pad or the 2nd

there from be occupied by its own lord or if the said lord

is in his other own bhava, the death of wife will be at

advanced age.

 

13-15. Wife from the 2nd of Upa Pad (up to sloka 22): If a

grah being constant indicator of wife (i.e. the 7th lord,

or Shukr) is in its own bhava, there will be loss of wife

only at a later stage.

If the lord of Upa Pad, or the constant significator of

wife is in exaltation, the wife will be from a noble family;

 

reverse will be the case, if he is debilitated (i.e. the

wife will not be from a noble family).

 

O Brahmin, if the 2nd from Upa Pad is related to a benefic,

the wife will be beautiful, fortunate, and virtuous.

 

16. Should Shani and Rahu be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, the

native will lose his wife on account of calumny or through

death.

 

17. The native's wife will be troubled by disorder of

blood, leucorrhoea ('Pradar'), etc., if Shukr and Ketu are

in the 2nd from Upa Pad.

 

18. Buddh with Ketu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will cause

breakage of bones

 

while Rahu, Shani, and Surya will cause distress of bones.

19-22. Buddh and Rahu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will give a

stout-bodied wife.

 

If the 2nd from Upa Pad happens to be one of Buddh's rashis

and is tenanted by Mangal and Shani, the wife of the native

will suffer from nasal disorders.

 

Similarly, a rashi of Mangal becoming the 2nd from Upa Pad

and occupied by Mangal and Shani will cause nasal disorders

to one's wife.

 

Guru and Shani will, if be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, cause

disorders of ears, and/or eyes to the wife.

 

If Buddh and Mangal are placed in the 2nd from Upa Pad

other than their own rashis, or if Rahu is with Guru in the

2nd from Upa Pad, the native's wife will suffer from dental

disorders.

 

Shani and Rahu together in one of Shani's rashis, which is

the 2nd from Upa Pad, will cause lameness or windy

disorders to the native's wife.

 

These evils will not come to pass if there happens to be a

yuti with or a drishti from a benefic (or from another

benefic in the case of affliction being caused by a benefic

himself).

 

23-23 1/2. O Brahmin, all these effects be deduced from the

natal Lagn, Lagn Pad, the 7th from Upa Pad, and the lords

there of. So say Narada and others.

 

25-28. About Sons: If Shani, Chandr, and Buddh are together

in the 9th from one of the said places (sloka 23), there

will be no son at all

 

while Surya, Guru, and Rahu so placed will give a number of

sons.

 

Chandr so placed will give a son,

 

while a mixture of grahas will delay the obtainment of a son.

The son caused by the yuti of Surya, Guru, and Rahu (as

mentioned above) will be strong, valorous, greatly

successful, and will destroy enemies.

 

 

If Mangal and Shani are in the said 9th , there will be no

son, or a son will be obtained by adoption or brother's son

will come in adoption.

 

In all these cases, odd rashis will yield many sons, while

even rashis will cause only a few.

 

29-30. Many Sons and Many Daughters: O Brahmin, if Simh

happens to be Upa Pad and receives a drishti from Chandr,

there will be a limited number of children.

 

Similarly, Kanya will cause many daughters.

 

31. Co-born form Lagn Pad (up to sloka 36): Rahu and Shani

in the 3rd or the 11th from Lagn Pad will destroy the

co-born of the native. Rahu and Shani in the 11th will

indicate the destruction of elder brothers and/or sisters,

and in the 3rd younger ones.

 

32. If Shukr is in the 3rd or the 11th from Lagn Pad, there

would have been an abortion to the mother earlier. Same is

the effect if Shukr is in the 8th from natal Lagn, or from

Lagn Pad.

 

33-36. These are the effects, O Brahmin, as stated by

Maharishis for the 3rd and the 11th from Lagn Pad. Should

Chandr, Guru, Buddh, and Mangal be in the 3rd or the 11th

from Lagn Pad, there will be many valorous co-born.

 

Should Shani and Mangal be in the 3rd or the 11th from Lagn

Pad or give drishtis there to, younger and elder co-born

will respectively be destroyed.

 

If Shani is alone in one of the said bhavas the native will

be spared, while the co-born will die.

 

Ketu in the 3rd or the 11th will give abundant happiness

from one's sisters.

 

37. Other Matters from Lagn Pad (up to sloka 43): If the

6th from Lagn Pad is occupied by a malefic and is bereft of

a yuti with or a drishti from a benefic, the native will be

a thief.

 

38. If Rahu is in the 7th or the 12th from Lagn Pad or

gives a drishti to one of the said bhavas, the native will

be endowed with spiritual knowledge and be very fortunate.

 

39. If Buddh is in Lagn Pad, the native will lord over a

whole country,

 

while Guru will make him a knower of all things

 

Shukr in this context denotes a poet/speaker.

(Also see ch. 29, verse 30).

 

40. 0 excellent of the Brahmins, if benefics occupy the 2nd

from Upa Pad or from Lagn Pad, the native will be endowed

with all kinds of wealth and be intelligent.

 

41. One will surely become a thief if the lord of the 2nd

from Upa Pad is in Dhan Bhava, and is there yuti with a

malefic grah.

 

42-43. 0 Brahmin, if Rahu is in the 2nd from the lord of

the 7th counted from Upa Pad, the native will have long and

projected teeth.

 

Ketu in the 2nd from the lord of the 7th counted from Upa

Pad, will cause stammering,

and Shani in the 2nd form the lord of the 7th counted from

Upa Pad will make one look ugly.

 

Mixed will be the effects if there are mixed grahas.

 

 

 

Chapter 31

 

Argala or Intervention from Grahas

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have told of (some) auspicious

effects related to Argala. Kindly narrate its conditions

and effects.

 

2-9. Formation of Argala: Maitreya, I explain below Argala

to know the definite effects of bhavas and grahas. Grahas

in the 4th, 2nd, and the 11th (from a bhava or a grah)

cause Argalas, while obstructors of the Argala will be

those in the 10th, 12th, and 3rd from a bhava or a grah.

If the Argala causing grah is stronger than the obstructing

one, the former will prevail. Or if the number of Argalas

are more than the obstructing grahas, then also the Argala

will prevail. If there are 3 or more malefics in the 3rd

they will cause Vipreet Argala (more effective

intervention) which will also be harmless and be very

favourable. The 5th is also an Argala place, while the grah

in the 9th will counteract such Argala. As Rahu and Ketu

have retrograde motions, the Argalas and obstructions be

also counted accordingly in a reverse manner. Maharishis

say that the Argala caused by one grah will yield limited

effect, by two medium and by more than two excellent

effects. Argalas should be counted from a rashi or a grah

as the case may be. The Argala which is unobstructed will

be fruitful, while the one duly obstructed will go astray.

The Argala effects will be derived in the Dasha periods of

the rashi or grah concerned.

 

Notes: 'Argala' in Sanskrit is figuratively used to denote

an impediment or obstruction. Argala is calculated from a

bhava or from a grah. The 4th, 2nd, and 11th bhava

occupants cause Argala for a bhava or a grah. A grah in the

10th (from where the Argala is calculated) will obstruct

the Argala coming from the 4th. Similarly, a grah in 12th

will counteract Argala emanating from the 2nd, while the

one in 11th will impede the Argala from the 3rd. Some

suggest that the Argala obstruction places are countable

from the Argala place instead of from the original place or

grah. This is not logical and a glance into Gochar Vedha

(or obstructions during transits) will confirm our

findings.

 

10. Special: The Argala caused by placement of a grah in

the first one fourth part of the rashi is countered by

another placed in the 4th quarter of the respective

obstructive rashi. Similarly, 2nd quarter's Argala is

eliminated by the 3rd quarter placement of another grah.

 

Notes: We have learnt that an Argala, for example in the

4th from a bhava or a grah is eliminated by another placed

in the 10th bhava from the original grah or bhava. Here,

the rules for obstruction of Argala are still narrowed

down. Accordingly, there are only two circumstances of

Argala getting nullified. Make the rashi in which the

Argala occurs into four quarters (of 7 degrees 30 min.

each). Similarly, the rashi where obstruction occurs is

also made in four quarters. If the Argala causing grah is

in the first quarter (or first 7 degrees 30' of the

rashi), while the obstructing grah is in the 4th quarter

(i.e. 22 degrees 30' - 30 degrees), the obstruction indeed

will come to pass. Otherwise, not. So to say, Argala will

operate and the obstruction will fail. Likewise, while the

Argala grah is in the 2nd quarter of the rashi (i.e. 7

degrees 30 min - 1 5 degrees), the obstruction (grah in 15

degrees - 22 degrees 30 min: i.e. in the 3rd quarter) will

combat the Argala.

 

 

11-17. Argala Effects: Should there be Argala for the Arudh

Pad, for the natal Lagn, and for the 7th from both, the

native will be famous and fortunate.

 

 

A malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Lagn, will make one famous.

 

 

Similarly, a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed

Argala giving a drishti to Dhan Bhava denotes acquisition

of wealth and grains;

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Sahaj Bhava denotes happiness from co-born;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Bandhu Bhava denotes residences, quadrupeds, and

relatives;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Putr Bhava denotes sons, grand sons, and

intelligence;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Ari Bhava denotes fear from enemies;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Yuvati Bhava denotes abundant wealth and marital

happiness;

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Randhr Bhava denotes difficulties;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Dharm Bhava denotes fortunes;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Karm Bhava denotes royal honour;

 

 

a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala giving a

drishti to Labh Bhava denotes gains;

 

 

and a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala

giving a drishti to Vyaya Bhava denotes expenses.

 

 

The Argala by benefics will give various kinds of

happiness,

while benefic effects will be meddling with malefic

Argalas.

 

 

Argala by both benefics and malefics will yield results.

 

Notes: For our own benefit we should understand the word

'Argala' in a suitable manner apart from the manner the

Argala functions vis-a-vis Argala elimination.

 

1. Argala can be caused by a benefic which is known as Subh

Argala. This Argala can be from a malefic also, so that the

benefic causing Argala stalls the malefic role going

against the native. If the benefic's Argala is obstructed

by another, then the benefic will become ineffective in

Argala and the first-mentioned malefic will operate

freely.

2. Argala can be by a malefic with reference to a benefic,

so that the native does not enjoy good effects due to the

benefic. This is Pap Argala (or malefic Argala). If the

Argala is eliminated by a benefic or a malefic, then again

the first mentioned benefic will be at liberty to act

according to his own disposition.

 

3. Argala is operable with reference to bhavas as well.

Other relative rules need to be well understood before

application of the Argala.

 

 

18. Should there be (unobstructed) Argala for Lagn, Putr,

and Dharm Bhava the native will doubtlessly become a king

and fortunate.

Chapter 32

 

Karakatwas of the Grahas

 

1-2. I now detail below Atma Karak, etc., obtainable from

among the 7 grahas, viz. Surya to Shani. Some say that Rahu

will become a Karak when there is a state of similarity in

terms of longitude between (two) grahas. Yet, some say that

the 8 grahas including Rahu will have to be considered

irrespective of such a state.

 

3-8. Atma Karak Defined: Among the grahas from Surya, etc.,

whichever has traversed maximum number of degrees in a

particular rashi is called Atma Karak. If the degrees are

identical, then the one with more minutes of arc, and if

the minutes are also identical then the one with higher

seconds of arc, have to be considered. In that case, these

three are called Anthya Karak, Madhya Karak, and Upakheta.

 

In the case of Rahu, deduct his longitude in that

particular rashi from 30. The karakas will have to be

decided as above and as per further rules given below. Out

of these Karakas, Atma Karak is the most important and has

a prime say on the native just as the king is the most

famous among the men of his country and is the head of all

affairs and is entitled to arrest and release men.

 

9-12. Importance of Atma Karak: O Brahmin, as the minister

cannot go against the king, the other karakas, viz, Putr

Karak, Amatya Karak, etc., cannot predominate over Atma

Karak in the affairs of the native. If the Atma Karak is

adverse, other karakas cannot give their benefic effects

(fully). Similarly, if Atma Karak is favourable, other

karakas cannot predominate with their malefic influences.

 

13-17. Other Karakas: The grah next to Atma Karak in terms

of longitude is called Amatya Karak. Similarly, following

one another in terms of longitude are Bhratru Karak, Matru

Karak, Pitru Karak, Putr Karak, Gnati Karak, and Stri

Karak. These are Char karakas or inconstant significators.

Some consider Matru Karak and Putr Karak as identical. If

two grahas have the same longitude, both become the same

Karak in which case there will be a deficit of one Karak.

In that circumstance, consider constant significator in the

context of benefic/malefic influence for the concerned

relative.

 

Notes: A total of eight Char Karakas (inconstant, or

variable significators) are suggested as under:

 

1. Atma Karak (highest in longitude devoid of rashis)

2. Amatya Karak (next to Atma Karak in longitude)

3. Bhratru Karak (next to Amatya Karak in longitude)

4. Matru Karak (next to Bhratru Karak in longitude)

5. Pitru Karak (next to Matru Karak in longitude)

6. Putr Karak (next to Pitru Karak in longitude)

7. Gnati Karak (next to Putr Karak in longitude)

8. Stri Karak (next to Gnati Karak in longitude)

 

18-21. Constant Karakatwas: I narrate below the constant

Karakatwas as related to the grahas. The stronger among

Surya and Shukr indicates the father, while the stronger

among Chandr and Mangal indicates the mother. Mangal

denotes sister, brother-in-law, younger brother, and

mother. Buddh rules maternal relative, while Guru indicates

paternal grand father. Husband and sons are respectively

denoted by Shukr and Shani. From Ketu note wife, father,

mother, parents-in law and maternal grand father. These are

constant Karakatwas.

 

22-24. Bhavas Related: These constant significances are

derivable from the bhavas counted from the said constant

Karakatwas. The 9th from Surya denotes father, the 4th from

Chandr mother, the 3rd from Mangal brothers, the 6th from

Buddh maternal uncle, the 5th from Guru sons, the 7th from

Shukr wife, and the 8th from Shani death. The learned

should consider all these and declare related effects

accordingly.

 

Notes: From these three verses, the constant Karakas emerge

as under as normally discussed in standard literature on

Jyotish:

 

Surya : father

Chandr : mother

Mangal : brothers (and sisters)

Buddh : maternal relatives

Guru : Sons (and daughters)

Shukr : wife (or husband)

Shani : death (or longevity)

 

25-30. Yog Karakas: O Brahmin, I make below a passing

reference to Yog Karakas (or mutual co-workers). Grahas

become Yog Karakas if they are in mutual angles identical

with own rashis, exaltation rashis, or friendly rashis. In

Karm Bhava, a grah will be significantly so. Grahas simply

(i. e. not being in friendly, own, or exaltation rashis) in

Lagn, Bandhu and Yuvati Bhava, do not become such Yog

Karakas. Even if they be placed in other bhavas, but with

such dignities as mentioned shall become Yog Karakas. With

such grahas, even a person of mean birth will become a king

and be affluent. One born of royal scion then, will surely

become a king. Thus, the effects be declared considering

the number of such grahas and the order the native belongs

to.

31-34. Bhava Significance: I now narrate the significance

of the bhavas. Tanu Bhava denotes the soul (self), Dhan

Bhava family, finance, wife, etc., Sahaj Bhava younger

brothers/sisters, Putr Bhava progeny, and Yuvati Bhava

wife. It is also said that a grah in Putr Bhava becomes a

Karak for wife. The Karakatwas of the bhava in order are:

Surya, Guru, Mangal, Chandr, Guru, Mangal, Shukr, Shani,

Guru, Buddh, Guru, and Shani.

 

35-37. O excellent of the Brahmins, after knowing the

merits of Tanu Bhava, etc., the good and bad effects can be

declared. Ari, Randhr, and Vyaya Bhava are Trikas, Dusthan,

or malefic bhavas. Sahaj, Ari, Karm, and Labh Bhava are

Upachayas (growing bhavas); Dhan, Putr, Randhr, and Labh

Bhava are Panapharas (succedents); and Sahaj, Ari, Dharm,

and Vyaya Bhava are Apoklimas (cadents). Association with

Trikas will inflict evils. Kendras (i.e. Tanu, Bandhu,

Yuvati, and Karm Bhava) and Konas (i.e. Putr and Dharm

Bhava) are auspicious bhavas, the association with which

turns even evil into auspiciousness.

 

(Also see ch. 34 for more information).

Chapter 33

 

Effects of Karakamsh

 

1. O Brahmin, as laid down by Lord Brahma, I now tell you

about the effects of Karakamsh identical with Mesh etc.

(Karakamsh is the Navamsh occupied by the Atma Karak grah).

 

2-8. Karakamsh in Various Rashis: If Atma Karak happens to

be in Mesh Navamsh, there will be nuisance from rats and

cats at all times.

 

A malefic joining will further increase the nuisance.

 

Should Atma Karak be in Vrishabh Navamsh, happiness from

quadrupeds will result.

 

Should Atma Karak be in Mithun Navamsh, the native will be

afflicted by itch, etc..

 

Should Atma Karak be in Kark Navamsh, there will be fear

from water, etc..

 

If Atma Karak happens to be in Simh Navamsh, fear will be

from tiger, etc..

 

If Atma Karak happens to be in Kanya Navamsh, itch,

corpulence, fire, etc., will cause trouble,

 

while if Atma Karak is in Tula Navamsh, he will make one a

trader and skilful in making robes, etc..

 

Vrischik Navamsh holding Atma Karak will bring troubles

from snakes etc., and also affliction to mother's breasts.

 

There will be falls from height and conveyances, etc., if

it is in Dhanu Navamsh that is occupied by Atma Karak.

 

Makar Navamsh in this respect denotes gains from water

dwelling beings and conch, pearl, coral, etc..

 

If it is Kumbh Navamsh holding Atma Karak, the native will

construct tanks, etc..

 

And in Meen Navamsh the Atma Karak win grant final

emancipation.

 

The drishti of a benefic will remove evils,

while that of a malefic will cause no good.

 

9-11. O Brahmin, if there be only benefics in Karakamsh and

the Navamsh of Lagn and receives a drishti from a

benefic, the native will undoubtedly become a king.

 

Should the Kendras/Konas from the Karakamsh be occupied by

benefics devoid of malefic association, the native will be

endowed with wealth and learning.

 

The combination of benefic and malefic influence will in

this context yield mixed results.

 

If the Upakheta (or Upa Grah, vide ch.32 sloka 5) is in its

exaltation , or own, or friendly rashi, and is devoid of a

drishti from a malefic, the native will go to heaven after

death.

 

12. If the Atma Karak is in the divisions of Chandr, Mangal

or Shukr, the native will go to others wives.

 

Otherwise, the contrary will prevail (i.e. the native will

not go to others wives).

 

13-18. Effects of Grahas in the Karakamsh: 0 Brahmin, if

Surya is in the Karakamsh, the native will be engaged in

royal assignments.

 

If the full Chandr is there, he will enjoy pleasures and be

a scholar;

 

more so if Shukr gives a drishti to the Karakamsh.

 

If strong Mangal is in Karakamsh, he will use the weapon

spear, will live through fire and be an alchemist.

Should strong Buddh be Karakamsh, he will be skilful in

arts and trading, be intelligent and educated.

 

Guru in Karakamsh denotes one doing good acts, endowed with

spiritualism and Vedic learning.

 

One will be endowed with a longevity of 100 years, be

sensuous and will look after state affairs if Shukr is in

Karakamsh.

 

Shani in Karakamsh will give such livelihood as due to the

natives family.

 

Rahu in Karakamsh denotes a thief, a bowman, a machinery

maker, and a doctor treating poisonous afflictions.

 

If Ketu be in Karakamsh, one will deal in elephants and be

a thief.

 

19-22. Rahu-Surya in Karakamsh: Should Rahu and Surya be in

Karakamsh there will be fear from snakes;

if a benefic gives a drishti to Rahu-Surya in Karakamsh

there will be no fear,

 

but a malefic drishti will bring death (through serpents).

 

If Rahu and Surya occupy benefic Shad Vargas, being in

Karakamsh, one will be a doctor treating poisonous

afflictions,

 

while the drishti from Mangal on Rahu-Surya in Karakamsh

denotes that the native will burn either his own house or

that of others.

 

Buddh's drishti on Rahu-Surya in Karakamsh will not cause

the burning of one's own house of that of others.

 

If Rahu and Surya happen to be in Karakamsh and are in a

malefic's rashi receiving a drishti from Guru, one will burn

a house in one's neigbourhood, .

while the drishti of Shukr will not cause such an event.

23-24. Gulik in Karakamsh: Should the full Chandr give a

drishti to Gulik placed in the Karakamsh, the native will

lose his wealth to thieves or will himself be a thief.

 

If Gulik is in Karakamsh but does not receive a drishti

from others, one will administer poison to others or will

himself die of poisoning.

 

Buddh's drishti in this context will give large testicles.

 

25-29. Effects of Drishtis on Ketu in Karakamsh: If Ketu is

in Karakamsh receiving a drishti from a malefic, ones ears

will be severed or one will suffer from diseases of the

ears.

 

Shukr giving a drishti to Ketu in Karakamsh denotes one

initiated into religions order.

 

One will be devoid of strength if Buddh and Shani give a

drishti to Ketu in Karakamsh.

If Buddh and Shukr give a drishti to Ketu in Karakamsh, one

will be the son of a female slave or of a female remarried.

 

With Shani's drishti on Ketu in Karakamsh one will perform

penance or be a servant or will be a pseudo-ascetic;

 

Shukr and Surya together giving a drishti to Ketu in

Karakamsh will make one serve the king. Thus, O Brahmin,

are told briefly the effects of Karakamsh.

 

30-31. Effects of the 2nd from Karakamsh: If the 2nd from

Karakamsh falls in the divisions of Shukr or Mangal,

one will be addicted to others' wives,

 

and if Shukr or Mangal give a drishti to the 2nd from

Karakamsh, the tendency will last till death.

 

If Ketu is the 2nd from Karakamsh in a division of Shukr

or Mangal, addiction to other's wives will not prevail,

 

while the position of Guru will cause such an evil (i.e.

addiction to other's wives).

 

Rahu in the 2nd from Karakamsh will destroy wealth.

 

32. Effects of the 3rd from Karakamsh: A malefic in the 3rd

from Karakamsh will make one valorous,

 

while a benefic in the 3rd from Karakamsh will make one

timid.

 

33-35. Effects of the 4th from Karakamsh: If the 4th from

Karakamsh happens to be occupied by Shukr and Chandr, one

will own large buildings, like palaces, etc.. Similar, is

the effect of an exalted grah in the said 4th.

 

A house made of stones is denoted by the occupation of the

4th from Karakamsh by Rahu and Shani.

 

Mangal and Ketu in the 4th from Karakamsh indicate a house

made of bricks,

while Guru in the 4th from Karakamsh denotes a house made

of wood.

 

Surya in the 4th from Karakamsh will give a house of

grass.

 

If Chandr is in the 4th from Karakamsh, one will have union

with his wife in an uncompounded house.

 

36-40. Effects of the 5th from Karakamsh :If Rahu and

Mangal are in the 5th from Karakamsh, one will suffer from

a pulmonary consumption,

 

more so if Chandr gives them a drishti.

 

The drishti of Mangal on the 5th from Karakamsh will bring

boils or ulcers,

 

Ketu's drishti on the 5th from Karakamsh will cause

dysentery and other diseases caused by (impure) water.

If Rahu and Gulik happen to be in the 5th from Karakamsh

there will be fear from mean people and poison.

 

Should Buddh be in the 5th from Karakamsh , the native will

be an ascetic of the highest order or one holding staff.

 

Surya in the 5th from Karakamsh denotes one using a knife.

 

Mangal in the 5th from Karakamsh denotes one using a spear (M

 

Shani denotes a bowman if Shani is placed in the 5th from

Karakamsh.

 

Rahu in the 5th from Karakamsh denotes a machinist.

 

Ketu in the 5th from Karakamsh denotes a watch maker.

 

Shukr in the 5th from Karakamsh will make one a poet and an

eloquent speaker.

 

41-45. Effects of Karakamsh and the 5th from there: If Guru

and Chandr are in Karakamsh or the 5th there of, the native

will be an author.

 

Shukr in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there will make one

an ordinary writer,

 

while Buddh in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there will

indicate that the writing skills are less than those of an

ordinary writer.

 

Should Guru be alone in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there,

one will be a knower of everything, be a writer, and be

versed in Vedas and Vedanta philosophy, but not an

oratorian or a grammarian.

 

Mangal in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there denotes a

logician,

 

Buddh in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there denotes a

Mimamsaka (follower of Karma Mimansa philosophy),

Shani in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there indicates that

one is dull-witted in the assembly,

 

Surya in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there denotes that

bliss), and indicates that one is versed in rhetorics

and singing,

 

and Ketu or Rahu in Karakamsh or in the 5th from there

denotes that one is a Jyotishi.

grah owning the 8th from Karakamsh happens to be in the 8th

from Karakamsh, the native will be long-lived,

Drishti/yuti of both benefics and malefics will yield a

medium span of life.

 

50-56. Effects of the 9th from Karakamsh: If the 9th from

Karakamsh receives a drishti from or is occupied by a

benefic, the native will be truthful, devoted to elders and

Karakamsh and joining in six identical vargas will cause

imprisonment of the native due to association with a female

Karakamsh receives a drishti from or is conjoined by a

benefic, the native will have firm riches, be sagacious,

strong, and intelligent.

 

A malefic giving a drishti to the 10th from Karakamsh or

occupying this bhava will cause harm to his profession and

deprive him of paternal bliss.

 

Buddh and Shukr giving a drishti to the 10th from Karakamsh

or conjoining this bhava will confer many gains in business

(or profession) and will make him do many great deeds.

effects (in respect of expenses) will follow.

 

If there happens to be a benefic grah in exaltation or in

own bhava in the 12th from Karakamsh or if Ketu is so

placed and receives a drishti from or is yuti with a

benefic one will attain heaven after death.

 

One will attain full enlightenment if Ketu is in the 12th

(from Karakamsh) identical with Mesh or Dhanu and receives

a drishti from a benefic.

 

If Ketu is in the 12th from Karakamsh receiving a drishti

from a malefic or is there yuti with a malefic one will not

attain full enlightenment.

or Ganesh's worshipper.

 

If Shani is in the 12th from Karakamsh in a malefic's rashi

one will worship mean deities.

 

Shukr and Shani in the 12th from Karakamsh in a malefic's

Similar inferences can be drawn from the 6th Navamsh

counted from Amatya Karak's Navamsh.

75-76. Miscellaneous Matters (up to sloka 84): O Brahmin,

if there are two malefics in a Kon from Karakamsh, the

native will have knowledge of Mantras and Tantras (formulas

for the attainment of super-human powers).

 

If a malefic simultaneously gives a drishti to two malefics

in a Kon from Karakamsh, the native will use his learnings

of Mantras and Tantras for malevolent purposes.

 

while a benefic's drishti will make him use the learnings

of Mantras and Tantras for public good,

 

77-84 1/2. If Chandr is in the Karakamsh receiving a drishti

from Shukr the native will be an alchemist,

 

and if Chandr being in the Karakamsh receiving a drishti

the native will suffer from pulmonary consumption,

 

and if simultaneously there happens to be Chandr's drishti

a machinist, a knife user, and a spear or arrow user.

 

85-86. Chandr and Guru in the Karakamsh or in the 5th there

from denotes a writer well versed in all branches of

learning. The grade of writership will comparatively

descend in the case of Shukr and even further in the case

of Buddh if placed in the Karakamsh or in the 5th from

there.

 

87-92 1/2. Grahas in the 5th from Karakamsh: Should Shukr

be in the 5th from Karakamsh, the native will be eloquent

and a poet.

 

Guru in the 5th from Karakamsh denotes that he be an

exponent and be all knowing, but be unable to speak in an

assembly. He will be further a grammarian and a scholar in

Vedas and Upanishads.

 

Shani in the 5th from Karakamsh will make one ineffective

in an assembly,

 

while Buddh in the 5th from Karakamsh will make him skilful

in Karma Mimansa (one of the six Darshanas).

 

Mangal in Karakamsh or the 5th there from will make one

justice,

 

while Chandr in Karakamsh or the 5th from there denotes a

Sankhya Yogi, a rhetoric, or a singer.

 

Surya in the 5th from Karakamsh will make one learned in

Vedanta and music.

 

Ketu in the 5th from Karakamsh will make one a

mathematician and skilful in Jyotish. Should Guru be

related to the said Ketu, these learnings will be by

inheritance.

 

All these as well apply to 2nd and 3rd from Karakamsh and

to the Karakamsh itself apart from applying to the 5th from

Karakamsh.

 

93-93 1/2. Should Ketu be in the 2nd or 3rd from Karakamsh,

the native will be defective in speech, more so if a

malefic gives a drishti to Ketu as above.

94-99. If malefics be in Karakamsh, Arudh Lagn, and the

2nd, and 8th from these places, there will be Kemadrum Yog;

the effects of which will be still severer if Chandr's

drishti happens to be there.

 

The effects due for these yogas will come to pass in the

Dasha periods of the rashis or grahas concerned.

 

Kemadrum Yog will operate additionally if there are

malefics in the 2nd and 8th from the rashi whose Dasha will

be in currency. The results of such Yog will also be

inauspicious.

 

If the 2nd and 8th in the Kundali cast for the beginning of

a Dasha have malefics, then also Kemadrum prevails

throughout the Dasha.

All quotes from Parasara about Dasa combinations:Ma/Ke/Gu/Sa/Sa

Effects of the Vimshottari Dasha of Mangal

 

27-32. If Mangal is in his exaltation rashi, in his

Multrikon, in his own rashi, in Kendr, in Labh or Dhan Bhava

with strength, in a benefic Amsh (Navamsh) and is associated

with a benefic, there will be during his Dasha acquisition

of kingdom (attainment of a high administrative or political

position in Government, gain of wealth and land, recognition

by Government), gain of wealth from foreign countries, and

acquisition of conveyances and ornaments.

There will also be happiness and good relations with

co-borns.

 

If Mangal with strength is placed in a Kendr or in Sahaj

Bhava, there will be gain of wealth through valour, victory

over enemies, happiness from wife and children. There will,

however, be a possibility of some unfavourable effects at

the end of the Dasha.

33. If Mangal is in his debilitation rashi, weak, in an

inauspicious Bhava (Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya) or is associated

with or receives a drishti from malefics there will be, in

his Dasha, loss of wealth, distress and similar unfavourable

effects.

 

Effects of the Antar Dasha of Ketu in the Dasha of Mangal

 

48-49 1/2. Beneficence of the king (government), gain of

wealth, little gains of land at the commencement of the

Dasha and substantial later, birth of a son, conferment of

authority by government, gain of cattle, etc., will be the

results in the Antar Dasha of Ketu in the Dasha of Mangal,

if Ketu is in a Kendr, in a Trikon, in Sahaj, or in Labh

Bhava, or if Ketu is associated with or receives a drishti

from benefics.

 

50-51 1/2. Birth of a son, increase in reputation,

beneficence of Goddess Lakshmi, gains of wealth from

employees, attainment of the position of a commander of an

army, friendship with the king (cordial relations with high

government officials), performance of oblations, gains of

clothes and ornaments, etc. will be the beneficial effects,

if Ketu is a Yog Karak and is endowed with strength.

(Ketu assumes the role of a Yog Karak if he is yuti

with a Yog Karak grah (lord of a Kendr and a Trikon)).

 

52-54. Effects like quarrels, tooth trouble, distress from

thieves and tigers, fever, dysentery, leprosy, and distress

to wife and children, etc., will be experienced if Ketu is

in the 6th, the 8th, or the 12th from the lord of the Dasha

(Mangal).

 

If Ketu is in Dhan or in Yuvati Bhava, there will be

diseases, disgrace, agony and loss of wealth.

 

71. Ketu-Guru: Loss of friends, wealth and garments,

opprobrium (= abusive language, disgrace, dishonour) in

the house, troubles from every-where.

 

39. Guru-Shani: Obstacles in fasting, agony, foreign

journeys, loss of wealth, antagonism with kinsmen.

 

47. Shani-Shani: Loss of luster due to fevers, leprosy,

stomach troubles, danger of death from fire.

 

 

Dhanu Lagna

The natives of this lagna have a well-proportioned and well-developed body.

they are generally tall with a large forehead, high and bushy eyebrows, long

nose, bright eyes, graceful look, fair complexion and handsome figure. The

natives are hold, courageous and pushful. They face adverse situations with

fortitude. They have self-confidence. They have energy, enthusiasm, vigour

and vitality. In spite of all these qualities they are unable to take quick

decision. They are God-fearing and love only truth. They stick to their

principles. They go for higher education and are fond of travelling. They

are intuitive and their intuition generally proves correct.

 

Aswini Nakshatra: Devata for Aswini Nakshatra is Aswi or the Duality known

as Aswini Kumar Twins, the physician of the Gods. Symbol - the head of a

horse. So, by the influence of this star the native is expected to be

equestrian (horse-ride) or a soldier, also a physician with marvellous power

to heal. The after-speak of physicians excellence or process. It is

possible, in the horoscopes of these physicians it will be seen that the

Graha for successful medical practice is positioned in Aswini Nakshatra.

>From Aswi is supposed to be derived carriages for animals for transport,

everything related to transport and transport department. The Puranas relate

that the two Aswini Kumaras were born of mother Sanga and father Ravi. The

mother held the solar semen in her nostrils, for otherwise she could not hold

it, it is so strong. They are the twins of Sanga and therefore this

Nakshatra is supposed to produce twins, Mangal in this Nakshatra - specially

if the Lagna is in Kumbha and Mangal in bhatristhan indicates twin brother

and sister for the native. Or if Ravi, Guru or Pitri Karaka or lord of the

Bhava signifying father or son in a similar way is in this Nakshatra then the

father or any of the uncles or any of the children may be one of the twin.

 

Hasta Nakshatra: Spread from 10: to 23:20' Kanya. Deity Surya, Lord Budha,

symbol - closed hand. The 12 names of the sun are: (1) Arun, (2) Aditya, (3)

Tapan, (4) Divakar, (5) Bhaskar, (6) Bhanu, (7) Martanda, (8) Mihir, (9)

Ravi, (10) Bivakar, (11) Sahasramsu and (12) Surya.

 

All the attributes of these names etymologically connotes are caused by this

star. From the Surya we derive creativity and creation, and from creation we

derive light, lustre, and strength. Surya is the prime cause of dominion,

kingship, power of immunity and the light that dispels darkness. Budha is

the cause of knowledge. If placed in this star he sheds light all around.

Ravi with this Nakshatra enhances the instinct of dominion and the capacity

to rule over others. It brushes up human intelligence, making it more

luminous and makes a man vibrant with life and light.

 

The symbol is a closed hand or fist. It would follow that is signifies

determination and clenched resolution. To keep everybody within one's grip,

the possessive instinct follows from the nature of this star. The magician

and the pick-pocket are also born under this star - variation from nobler

attributes.

 

Anthropomorphically it is the hand of Kalapurush.

 

 

Bharani Nakshatra: Devata Yama; birth star of Rahu. It extends from 13:20 t

o 26:40.

Symbol: Orifice of the womb (oss-mouth), lord Mangal. It is possible to hav

e an idea of the nature of Bharani Nakshatra from the nature of Rahu, Mangal

and Yama. To take Rahu first,

 

1. Rahu gives extravagant enjoyment of material pleasure and is later on

the cause of sorrow,

2. Mangal gives courage, strength, exaltation and hope,

3. Yama purity, cleanliness, justice and integrity. The sense of restraint

is also Yamas gift; he is the lord of Dharma, a stern disciplinarian, a

ruthless expositor of truth, and a refuge for kings and law-abiding subjects.

We should not always confine his interpretation to his being only the lord

of death; he is the great judicature, the ultimate dispenser of reward and

punishment. The story of Yama-Nachiketa is a particularly exposition of the

hospitality of Yama, his sense of dharma and knowledge of it, his superb

honesty and great integrity and other divine virtues. The Nakshatra of which

he is the devata (God) is also in consequence the giver of whatever is good,

pure, truthful and honest.

 

The etymological meaning of Bharani is what deserves to be cultivated and

preserved that is dependence, servitors, retainers or anything by which

living is earned, for example salary.

 

 

 

 

Krithika Nakshatra: This is the birth star of Chandra. Many constellations

gather at the tail end of Krithika group. It extends from Mesa 26:40. The

residuary 10: degree fall in Vrishabha. The Devata is Agni, Lord (Adhipati)

is Mangal and Sukar. Agni is the great purifier, the great consumer of and

the giver of light, heat and brightness. Agni causes the fire of life and

the drive. It is also the spark of life. Without fire creation would not

exist. Agni is at the base of creation and of the continuation of existence.

It consumes everything. The fire of digestion in the human system and the

external fire for cooking are only different manifestation of the same

principle which is Agni. Agni is the symbol of brightness and brilliance,

all weapons with fire-power. And other things of the same category come

within the range of Krithika group. The fire is considered as purifier; for

it burns away all that is wicked, dark and dull, also all that is low and

sinful and inauspicious in the world. The dross thus blazed away, only

effulgence and light remain. Fire gives the earth its activity and dynamic

and revives it after the spells of cold that periodically inflict comatose

condition of the earth. It is easy enough to deduce from fire the causal

effect of the Krithika group. Mangal is the lord of that part of Krithika

which is in Mesa Rashi and Mangal is like a mass of lightning in shining

splendour. So, the Krithika in Mesa is devastatingly brilliant, the

effulgence being closely associated with also an incendiary character.

The Krithika of Vrishabha Rashi is brilliant but unlike the Krithika of

Mesa, not incendiary. The lord of Vrishabha Rashi is brilliant but unlike

the Krithika of Mesa, not incendiary. The Lord of Vrishabha Rashi is Sukra

and Sukra stands for worship of beauty and for poetry and imagination. He is

radiantly white like snow, the Kunda flower and the Utpal. He is also the

encyclopedic expounder of all branches of learning. It follows that the

Krithika of Vrishabha is brilliant but the brilliance does not burn, it is

soft and sweet, and benign.The Krithika of Mesa Rashi is doubtless brilliant,

it has plenty of heat which burns. The Krithika of Vrishabha has on the

contrary a softened radiance, a wave of brightness that does not hurt.

 

 

 

 

Anuradha Nakshatra: Spread from 3:20' to 16"40' Vrscika Rashi. Lord is Mang

al, Symbol - the same as that of Visakha. Visakha and Anuradha are

complimentary to each other. From Anuradha is derived friendship, love,

affection and other tender feature of a person's character. From Visakha is

considered the ultimate objective while from Anuradha is indicated the

'action'. The difference between Visakha and Anuradha is that while the

Visakha-native forgets after success about benefits derived as also the

persons who helped, the Anuradha-native retains soft feeling about them, he

keeps his friendship intact and does not forget the benefits. The

Anuradha-native's mind is always alive and receptive to all feelings and

gestures of friendship and love. He is like the sentinel always a mounting

guard over emotions, but lacking the hardness or toughness of the official

sentinel.

 

 

 

Rohini Nakshatra: The word is derived from Rohan which means to rise or to

bring into existence. It extends in the Vrishabha Rashi from 10 degree to

23:20. The lord of it is Sukra, the symbol a Cart drawn by Cows. The Devata

is Brahma, the prime creator of all things living, from the meanest insect to

Man, the beauty of the weird, the paragon of animals. Rohini- group

therefore encompasses everything that comes within the range of

creation--beasts, birds, animals etc. It would also connote the process of

growing, begetting, birth, production etc, in brief production, birth and

creation. Rising means process of ascending, that is to say the creative

evolution, the cultivation and the improvement. Mythology describes Rohini

the wife of Chandra. Of all the 27 Stars-all wives of Chandra-Rohini is said

to have been fond of fine dress, cosmetics and decore and was the most

beloved of Chandra. The Rohini (group) is, in the line with this, considered

to be the cause of a taste for fine dress, perfume, and other articles of

toilet. Creation continues to exist mainly on the basis of food; and Rohini

is supposed to be the cause of food. The direct and immediate cause of food

is Agni and Brahma the remote cause. From this point of view the God who

gives food, that is Agni, is the spiritual principle of Rohini (group)

Nakshatra and because, Brahma the remote cause of food is also the Devata of

Rohini; the range of influences of this group runs over the whole gamut of

the visible and invisible animal world.

 

 

 

 

Swati Nakshatra: Spread from 6:40' to 20: Tula. Lord is Sukra, the deity

is the Wind and because of this latter factor this causes the attributes of

the Wind. Restlessness of disposition or physical restlessness, inability to

stay still at any place comes from it; also fidgetiness and noise. It is

self-assured and asserting. The winds (Murut) are the Lords of North-West.

The 49 of them under the 'Paban', of all Gods he is the strongest and most

obstinate. From these are derived the knowledge, the physical internal

adjustments of the 5 Winds - Pan, Apan, Vyan, Udan and Saman. Also from this

comes the storms and the whirl-wind, the concrete disturbance of the

atmosphere, A person born under this star is good at buying and selling, his

wealth and property come and go quite easily. He is an independent sort of

man, always striving for more independence. Asceticism is yet another

attribute of this star. diseases of the wind are to be treated in reference

to this . The Wind is the great scavenger, it sweats the dross and purifies.

The winowing of rice bears comparison to this.

 

 

 

 

 

Mrigasira Nakshatra: Mrigasira Nakshatra extends from after 23:20 in

Vrishabha Rashi up to 6:40 in Mithune. Presiding deity Chandra.

Symbol-Antilope or Deer. The word Mriga represents forests, gardens, a

search, a seeking to find, to roam about in the forests and a hunter, to

seek, to blaze the trail, a guide and preceptor. An erotic affair, beauty of

the countenance with particular emphasis on the radiant lustre of the face,

because of Chandra. To seek as the primary characteristic of the star, to

discover hidden treasures after the churning of the Sea, the Samudra Manthan

of the Hindu Mythology, the mother, motherly conduct that is to say maternal

instincts, self-sacrifice without hope of requital etc. Chandra is the lord

of the mind, so all mental attitude, good or bad, sympathies and antipathies,

patience and impatience, the fidgetiness and placidity, imagination, the gift

of poetry, purity, sweetness and light, physical and mental aspects, all

these come within this star and when things of sweetness and light of physic

as also of the mind, both derivatives from Chandra, the horoscope of Rabindra

Nath comes to mind. His Janma Lagna was Meen with Chandra there and Guru was

in Karkata Rashi. Because of this yoga Rabindra Nath had something like

physical translucence which was object of admiration all the world over,

wherever people met. Also, at the same time his poetry enthralled the whole

world. Chandra is a sub-Graha around the earth and that is why the influence

of Chandra on all that happens in the earth is so paramount. And again that

is why the influence of Chandra on both the body and mind is simultaneously

so very great. Sukra and Chandra both are female grahas (planets) with

difference that while Chandra is the Lord of motherhood, maternal instincts

and all that, Sukra is the lord of feminine beauty, the structure of feminine

form, the physical excellence of women and all that. In the former there is

elegance and dignity of the feminine while in the latter, the physical beauty

and the lure of feminine form which leads a male captive dominates. Chandra

is the lord of marine products and of medicines; that it was from the sea

that Chandra rose. And it is to Chandra that the influences and causalities

have to be traced.

Moola Nakshatra: Spread from 0: to 13:20' Dhanu Rashi, Lord is Jupiter

(Guru). Symbol - a bunch of roots tied together, deity 'Nirithi' or

'Alakshmi'. It also means the 'opposite' or 'reverse'. Moola is not one of

the good stars which is evident from this that the deity is Alakshmi i.e. God

of ill luck. Moola signifies roots, that is to say, everything of basic

nature, its motion is finite and limited. It does not go beyond its narrow

orbit. Old servant, pedlar of seeds, physician administering herbal seed

remedies - every such thing is determined from this star. The Moola native

looks into scientific, literary, philosophic and other basic subjects.

Mortgate and Mortgaged property are governed by this star and its horizon is

not rural but urban.

 

 

 

Uttarasarha Nakshatra: Spread from 26:40' Dhanu to 10: of Makara. Lord is

Guru and Sani. The derivatives from Uttarasarha are closely allied to those

of Poorbasarha. The points of difference are as follows. Poorbasarha

spreads out, it is concerned with extensiveness. Uttarasarha is

introspective and penetrative and is concerned with intensiveness, the

results of the latter being more permanent than the former (Poorbasarha).

The deity who preserves this world and makes for its welfare is called

'ganadevata'. There are ten ganadevatas Basu, Satya, Kratu, Daksha, Kala,

Kama, Dhriti, Kuru, Pururaba, Madraba. All their attributes are in this

star. The warrior, the wrestler, the painter, the artist, the magician, the

well-dressed man, the happy and successful men are influenced by this star.

A special characteristic of it is that it causes a person to be admired and

socially applauded. Another characteristic of it is is that under the

influence of this star the native falls in love with an unmarried girl.

Vishma of the Mahabharata was one of the 8 Basus; so under this star one

possesses self-control, restraint, endurance and firm character. There are

special rituals for the worship of ganadevatas, which are more or less of

specialised nature. The juice of Soma plant plays a part in 'yagna' and

worship.

 

 

Chapter 34

 

Yoga Karakas

 

1. O Brahmin, thus I have told you about the effects

derivable through Karakamsh. Now listen to the effects

arising out of lordships of grahas over bhavas.

 

2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Grahas: Benefics owning

Kendras will not give benefic effects, while malefics

owning Kendras will not remain inauspicious.

The lord of a Kon will give auspicious results.

The lord of Lagn is specially auspicious as Lagn is a Kendr

as well as a Kon.

Putr and Dharm Bhava are specially for wealth,

while Yuvati and Karm Bhava are specially for happiness.

Any grah owning Sahaj, Ari, or Labh Bhava will give evil

effects.

 

The effects due to the lords of Vyaya and Randhr Bhava will

depend on their association. In each group, the

significance will be in the ascending order. Randhr's lord

is not auspicious as he owns the 12th from Dharm Bhava. If

the lord of Randhr Bhava simultaneously owns Sahaj, Yuvati,

or Labh Bhava, he will prove specifically harmful, while

his simultaneous ownership of a Kon will bestow auspicious

effects. The grah owning a predominant Bhava will stall the

effects due to another owning a less significant bhava and

will give his own results.

Randhr's lordship of Surya and Chandr is not evil.

 

8-10. Natural Benefics and Natural Malefics: Guru and Shukr

are benefics, while Chandr is mediocre in benefice and

Buddh is neutral (i.e. a benefic when associated with a

benefic and a malefic when related to a malefic). Malefics

are Surya, Shani, and Mangal. Full Chandr, Buddh, Guru and

Shukr are stronger in the ascending order. Weak Chandr,

Surya, Shani, and Mangal are stronger (in malefic

disposition) in the ascending order. In revealing

maleficence due to rulership of Kendras, Chandr, Buddh,

Guru, and Shukr are significant in the ascending order.

 

11-12. Lordships of Kendras and Konas: If there be an

exchange between an lord of a Kendr and a lord of a Kon, or

if a lord of a Kendr is yuti with a lord of a Kon in a

Kendr or in a Kon, or if a lord of a Kon is in a Kendr or

vice versa, or if there happens to be a full drishti

between a lord of a Kendr and a lord of a Kon, they cause a

Yog. One born in such a Yog will become a king and be

famous.

 

13. If one and the same grah gets the lordships of a Kon as

well as a Kendr, or if a grah is in a Kendr or in a Kon, it

will prove specially a Yog Karak.

 

14. Lordship of Kendr: It has been said that a malefic

owning a Kendr will become auspicious, which is true only

when it simultaneously lords over a Kon and not by merely

owning a Kendr.

 

15. If the lords of a Kendr or a Kon own simultaneously an

evil bhava. he (i.e. the lord of the Kendr or the lord of

the Kon) does not cause a Raj Yog by mere relations

stipulated (as per ch. 34, slokas 11 and 12).

 

16. Rahu and Ketu: Rahu and Ketu give predominantly the

effects as due to their yuti with a bhava lord or as due to

the bhava they occupy.

 

17. If Rahu and Ketu are in Kendr receiving a drishti from

or in association with the lord of a Kon, or if Rahu or

Ketu happen to be in a Kendr receiving a drishti from or in

association with the lord of a Kendr it will become Yog

Karak.

 

18. 0 Maharishi Parashar, please narrate according to the

rashis rising as to which grah is a Yog Karak and which is

inauspicious.

 

 

19-22. Grahas and Mesh Lagn: O Brahmin, listen to these

with examples. Even though Mangal is the lord of Randhr

Bhava, he will be helpful to (other) auspicious grahas.

Shani, Buddh, and Shukr are malefics. Auspicious are Guru

and Surya. The mere yuti of Shani with Guru will not

produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kon and a

Kendr). If Guru is at the disposal of a malefic, he will

surely give inauspicious results. Shukr is a direct (or

independent) killer. Shani, etc., will also inflict death

if associated with an adverse grah (i.e Shukr).

 

 

23-24. Grahas and Vrishabh Lagn: Guru, Shukr, and Chandr

are malefics. Shani and Surya are auspicious. Shani will

cause Raj Yog. Buddh is somewhat inauspicious; the Guru

group (Guru, Chandr, and Shukr), and Mangal will inflict

death.

 

 

25-26. Grahas and Mithun Lagn: Mangal, Guru, and Surya are

malefics, while Shukr is the only auspicious grah. The yuti

of Guru with Shani is similar to that for Mesh Lagn. Chandr

is the prime killer, but it is dependant on her

association.

27-28. Grahas and Kark Lagn: Shukr and Buddh are malefics,

Mangal, Guru, and Chandr are auspicious. Mangal is capable

of conferring a full-fledged Yog and giving auspicious

effects. Shani and Surya are killers and give effects

according to their associations.

 

 

29-30. Grahas and Simh Lagn: Buddh, Shukr, and Shani are

malefics. Auspicious effects will be given by Mangal, Guru,

and Surya. Guru's yuti with Shukr (though respectively Kon

and Kendr lords) will not produce auspicious results. Shani

and Chandr are killers who will give effects according to

their associations.

 

 

31-32. Grahas and Kanya Lagn: Mangal, Guru, and Chandr are

malefics, while Buddh and Shukr are auspicious. Shukr's

yuti with Buddh will produce Yog. Shukr is a killer as

well. Surya's role will depend on his association.

33-34. Grahas and Tula Lagn: Guru, Surya, and Mangal are

malefics. Auspicious are Shani and Buddh. Chandr and Buddh

will cause Raj Yog. Mangal is a killer. Guru and other

malefics will also acquire a disposition to inflict death.

Shukr is neutral.

 

 

35-36. Grahas and Vrischik Lagn: Shukr, Buddh, and Shani

are malefics. Guru and Chandr are auspicious. Surya as well

as Chandr are Yog Karakas. Mangal is neutral. Shukr and

other malefics acquire the quality of causing death.

 

 

37-38. Grahas and Dhanu Lagn: Only Shukr is inauspicious.

Mangal and Surya are auspicious. Surya and Buddh are

capable of conferring a Yog. Shani is a killer, Guru is

neutral. Shukr acquires killing powers.

 

 

39-40. Grahas and Makar Lagn: Mangal, Guru, and Chandr are

malefics, Shukr and Buddh are auspicious. Shani will not be

a killer on his own. Mangal and other malefics will inflict

death. Surya is neutral. Only Shukr is capable of causing a

superior Yog.

 

 

41-42. Grahas and Kumbh Lagn: Guru, Chandr, and Mangal are

malefics, while Shukr and Shani are auspicious. Shukr is

the only grah that causes Raj Yog. Guru, Surya, and Mangal

are killers. Buddh gives meddling effects.

 

 

43-44. Grahas and Meen Bhava: Shani, Shukr, Surya, and

Buddh are malefics. Mangal and Chandr are auspicious.

Mangal and Guru will cause a Yog. Though Mangal is a killer

he will not kill the native (independently). Shani and

Buddh are killers.

 

45-46. General: Thus, the auspicious and inauspicious

effects derivable through the grahas due to their lordship

according to the rising rashi, have to be estimated. Apart,

the effects due to Nabhash Yogas, etc., should also be

known which I narrate as under.

 

Chapter 35

8. Maal and Sarpa Yogas: If 3 Kendras are occupied by

benefics Maal Yog is produced, (benefic results)

 

while malefics so placed will cause Bhujang or Sarpa Yog.

These Yogas respectively produce benefic and malefic

results.

 

9-11. Gada, Sakat, Vihag, Shringatak, Hal, Vajr, and Yav Yoga

If all the grahas occupy two successive Kendras, Gada Yog

is formed.

 

Sakat Yog occurs when all the grahas are disposed in Lagn

and Yuvati Bhava.

 

If all confine to Bandhu and Karm Bhava, then Vihag Yog

occurs.

 

All grahas in Lagn, Putr and Dharm Bhava cause Shringatak

Yog,

 

while all grahas are in Dhan, Ari, and Karm Bhava, or in

Sahaj, Yuvati, and Labh Bhava, or in Bandhu, Randhr, and

Vyaya Bhava cause Hal Yog.

 

Vajr Yog is caused by all benefics in Lagn and Yuvati

Bhava, or all malefics in Bandhu and Karm Bhava.

 

In a contrary situation, i.e. all benefics in Bandhu and

Karm Bhava or all malefics in Lagn and Yuvati Bhava, Yav

Yog is generated.

 

12. Kamal and Vapi Yogas: If all the grahas are in the 4

Kendras, Kamal Yog is produced.

 

If all of them happen to be in all the Apoklimas (cadent

bhavas), or in all the Panapharas (succedent bhavas), Vapi

Yog occurs.

 

13. Yup, Shar, Shakti, and Danda Yogas: If all the 7

grahas are in the 4 bhavas commencing from Lagn, they cause

Yup Yog;

 

if all the 7 grahas are in the 4 bhavas commencing from

Bandhu Bhava Shar Yog occurs;

 

if all the 7 grahas are in the 4 bhavas commencing from

Yuvati Bhava Shakti Yog occurs;

 

and if all the 7 grahas are in the 4 bhavas commencing from

Karm Bhava Danda Yog is formed.

 

14. Nauka, Koot, Chatr, and Chap Yogas: If all the grahas

occupy the seven bhavas from Lagn Nauka Yog occurs;

 

if all the grahas occupy the seven bhavas from Bandhu Bhava

Koot Yog is formed;

if all the grahas occupy the seven bhavas from Yuvati Bhava

Chatr Yog occurs;

 

and if all the seven grahas occupy the seven bhavas from

Karm Bhava, Chap Yog occurs. Here again, the grahas should

occupy seven continuous bhavas.

 

Quoted from saravali:

If the seven grahas occupy continuously seven bhavas

commencing from a bhava which is not angular to the lagna,

the yoga produced is known as Ardh Chandra yoga.

 

15. Chakr and Samudr Yogas: If all the grahas occupy six

alternative rashis commencing from Lagn, Chakr Yog is

formed.

 

Samudr Yog is produced if all grahas occupy six alternative

rashis commencing from Dhan Bhava.

 

16-17. Sankhya Yogas: If all grahas are in one Rashi Gola

Yog is formed;

if all grahas are in 2 rashis, Yuga Yog is formed;

 

if all grahas are in 3 rashis Sool Yog occurs;

 

if all grahas are in 4 rashis Kedara Yog occurs;

 

if all grahas are in 5 rashis Paash Yogis formed,

 

if all grahas are in 6 rashis Daam Yog occurs;

 

and if all grahas are in 7 rashis Veena Yog is produced.

Lagn, Subh Yog is produced,

 

while a malefic in Lagn causes Asubh Yog.

make the native honoured by the king, enjoy abundant

pleasures, charitable, fond of relatives, helpful to

others, pious, and virtuous.

 

7-8. Parvat Yog: Benefics in Kendras will produce Parvat

Yog, as Yuvati and Randhr Bhava are vacant or are occupied

by only benefics. One born in Parvat Yog will be wealthy,

eloquent, charitable, learned in Shastras, fond of mirth,

famous, splendorous, and be the leader of a city.

 

9-10. Kahal Yog: Should Bandhu's lord and Guru be in mutual

Kendras, while Lagn's lord is strong, Kahal Yog occurs.

Alternatively, Bandhu's lord being in his own or exaltation

rashi should be yuti with Karm's lord. In effect, the

native will be energetic, adventurous, charming, endowed

with a complete army consisting of chariots elephants

horses and infantry, and he will lord over a few villages.

 

11-12. Chamar Yog: If Lagn's lord is exalted in a Kendr and

native will be a king or honoured by the king, long lived,

scholarly, eloquent, and versed in all arts.

 

13-14. Shankh Yog: If Lagn's lord is strong, while the

lords of Putr and Ari Bhava are in mutual Kendras, then,

while Dharm's lord is strong, Shankh Yog is obtained. One

born with Shankh Yog will be endowed with wealth, spouse

and sons; he will be kindly disposed, propitious,

intelligent, meritorious, and long lived.

Karm's lord is exalted and yuti with Dharm's lord, Shrinath

Yog takes place. The native with Shrinath Yog will be equal

to lord Devendra (the god of gods).

 

19-20. Sharad Yog: Should Karm's lord be in Putr Bhava,

while Buddh is in a Kendr, as Surya with strength is in

Simh, Sharad Yog is formed. This will again be obtained if

Guru or Buddh is in a Kon to Chandr, while Mangal is in

Labh Bhava. One born in either kind of Yog will obtain

wealth, spouse and sons, be happy, scholarly, dear to the

king, pious, and virtuous.

 

21-22. Matsya Yog: Benefics in Dharm and Tanu Bhava, mixed

grahas in Putr Bhava and malefics in Bandhu and Randhr

Bhava: this array of grahas at birth will produce Matsya

Yog. In effect, the native will be a Jyotishi, be a synonym

of kindness, be virtuous, strong, beautiful, famous,

learned, and pious.

 

23-24. Kurm Yog: If Putr, Ari and Yuvati Bhava occupied by

benefic grahas identical with own bhava, or exaltation, or

friendly rashi, while malefics are in Sahaj, Labh, and Tanu

Bhava, in own bhava or in exaltation, Kurm Yog is formed.

The results of Kurm Yog are: the native will be a king. be

courageous, virtuous, famous, helpful, happy; he will be a

leader of men.

25-26. Khadg Yog: Should there be an exchange of rashis

between the lords of Dhan and Dharm Bhava, as Lagn's lord

is in a Kendr or in a Kon Khadg Yog is obtained. One with

Khadg Yog will be endowed with wealth, fortunes and

happiness, be learned in Shastras, be intelligent, mighty,

grateful, and skilful.

 

27-28. Lakshmi Yog: If Dharm's lord is in a Kendr identical

with his Mooltrikon rashi, or own rashi, or in exaltation,

while Lagn's lord is endowed with strength, Lakshmi Yog

occurs. The native with Lakshmi Yog will be charming,

virtuous, kingly in status, endowed with many sons and

abundant wealth; he will be famous and of high moral

merits.

 

29-30. Kusum Yog: Shukr in a Kendr, Chandr in a Kon along

with a benefic and Shani in Karm Bhava: these grahas thus

cause Kusum Yog for one born in a fixed rashi ascending.

Such a native will be a king or equal to him, be

charitable, will enjoy pleasures, be happy, prime among his

race men, virtuous and red-lettered.

31-32. Kalanidhi Yog: If Guru is placed in Dhan, or Putr

Bhava, and receives a drishti from Buddh and Shukr,

Kalanidhi Yog is caused. In effect, the native will be

virtuous, honoured by the kings, bereft of diseases, be

happy, wealthy, and learned.

 

33-34. Kalpa Drum Yog:

Note the following four grahas:

(a) Lagn's lord,

(b) the dispositor of Lagn's lord,

© the dispositor of the grah at "b",

(d) the Navamsh dispositor of the grah at "c".

 

If all these are disposed in Kendras and in Konas from

Lagn, or are exalted, Kalpa Drum Yog exists. One with Kalpa

Drum Yog will be endowed with all kinds of wealth, be a

king, pious, strong, fond war, and merciful.

 

35-36. Trimurthi Yogas: Counted from Dhan's lord, if

benefics occupy the 2nd, 12th, and 8th, Hari Yog is formed.

(The native will be happy, learned, and endowed with wealth

and sons).

 

If the 4th, 9th, and 8th with reference to the rashi

occupied by Yuvati's lord are occupied by benefics, Hara Yog

is obtainable. (The native will be happy, learned, and

endowed with wealth and sons).

 

Brahma Yog is generated if, counted from Lagn's lord,

benefics are in the 4th, 10th, and 11th rashis.

One born in anyone of the said three Yogas will be happy,

learned, and endowed with wealth and sons.

 

37. Lagn Adhi Yog: Should benefics be in Yuvati and Randhr

Bhava counted from Lagn, and be devoid of yuti with, and/or

drishti from malefics, Lagn Adhi Yog is produced making one

a great person, learned in Shastras and happy.

 

38-39. Effects of Lagn's Lord's Division Dignities: Lagn's

lord in Parijatamsh will make one happy;

 

Lagn's lord in Vargottama will give immunity to diseases;

Lagn's lord in Gopuramsh will make one rich with wealth and

grains;

 

Lagn's lord in Simhasanamsh will make one a king;

and Lagn's lord in Iravatamsh will make one famous and

honoured by kings.

and the same Navamsh).

Chapter 37

 

Chandr's Yogas

 

 

1. If Chandr with reference to Surya is in a Kendr, one's

wealth, intelligence and skill will be little.

 

If Chandr with reference to Surya is in a Panaphara, one's

wealth, intelligence and skill will be meddling.

 

If Chandr with reference to Surya is in a Apoklima, one's

wealth, intelligence and skill will be excellent.

 

2-4. In the case of a day birth, if Chandr placed in its

own Navamsh, or in a friendly Navamsh, receives a drishti

from Guru, one will be endowed with wealth, and happiness.

 

One born at night time will enjoy similar effects if Chandr

is in its own Navamsh, or in a friendly Navamsh receiving a

drishti to Shukr.

In a contrary situation, the drishti from Guru, or from

Shukr on Chandr will make one go with little wealth, or

even without that.

 

5. Adhi Yog from Chandr: If benefics occupy the 8th, 6th,

and 7th counted from Chandr, Adhi Yog obtains. According to

the strength of the participating grahas, the native

concerned will be either a king, or a minister, or an army

chief.

 

6. Dhan Yog: Should all the (three) benefics be Upachaya,

i.e. in the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th, and the 11th counted

from Chandr, one will be very affluent;

 

with two benefics placed in the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th, and

the 11th one will have medium effects in regard to wealth.

 

If a single benefic is there, the wealth will be

negligible.

 

7-10. Sunaph, Anaph, and Duradhar: If there is a grah,

other than Surya, in the 2nd from Chandr Sunaph Yog is

formed;

 

if there is a grah, other than Surya, in the 12th from

Chandr Anaph Yog is formed;

 

and if there are grahas, other than Surya, in the 2nd from

Chandr and in the 12th from Chandr Duradhar Yog is caused.

 

One with Sunaph Yog will be a king or equal to a king

endowed with intelligence, wealth, fame, and self earned

wealth.

 

One born in Anaph Yog will be a king, be free from

diseases, virtuous, famous, charming, and happy.

 

One born in Duradhar Yog will enjoy pleasures; one will be

charitable, and endowed with wealth, conveyances, and

excellent serving force.

 

11-13. Kema Drum Yog: Excluding Surya, should there be no

grah with Chandr, or in the 2nd and/or 12th from Chandr, or

in a Kendr from Lagn, Kema Drum Yog is formed. One born in

Kema Drum Yog will be very much reproached; one will be

bereft of intelligence; learning is reduced to penury and

perils.

 

Chapter 38

 

Surya's Yogas

 

 

1. Vesi, Vosi, and Abhayachari Yogas: Barring Chandr, if a

grah among Mangal etc. be in the 2nd from Surya, Vesi Yog

is formed;

 

barring Chandr, if a grah among Mangal etc. be in the 12th

from Surya, Vosi Yog is formed;

 

and barring Chandr, if a grah among Mangal etc. be in both

the 2nd and the 12th from Surya Ubhayachari Yog is caused.

 

2-3. Effects of Vesi, Vosi, and Ubhayachari Yogas: One born

in Vesi Yog will be even sighted, truthful, long bodied,

indolent, happy, and endowed with negligible wealth.

 

One born with Vosi Yog will be skilful, charitable, and

endowed with fame, learning and strength.

The Ubhayachari native will be a king or a equal to a king

and be happy.

 

4. Benefics causing Vesi, Vosi, or Ubhayachari Yogas will

give the above mentioned effects, while malefics will

produce contrary effects.

Chapter 39

 

Raj Yog

 

1-2. 0 excellent of the Brahmins, I now narrate below the

Raj Yogas making one entitled to royal honour. These were

told to Parvati by Lord Shiva once upon a time, the gist

of which is as follows:

 

3-5. Raj Yogas are to be known from the Karakamsh Lagn and

the natal Lagn. On the one hand the pair of Atma Karak and

Putr Karak should be considered and on the other hand the

natal Lagn's lord and Putr's lord should be taken into

consideration. The effects due to such association will be

full, or a half, or a quarter according to their

strengths.

(Karakamsh Lagn is the Navamsh occupied by the Atma Karak

grah).

 

6-7. Maha Raj Yog: Should Lagn's Lord and Putr's lord

exchange their rashis or if Atma Karak and Putr Karak

(Char) are in Lagn, or in Putr Bhava, or in the exaltation

rashi, or in own rashi, or in own Navamsh receiving a

drishti from a benefic, Maha Raj Yog is produced. The

native so born will be famous and happy.

 

8. If Lagn's lord and Atma Karak are in Tanu, Putr, or

Yuvati Bhava yuti with or receiving a drishti from a benefic,

a Raj Yog is formed.

 

9-10. Should there be benefics in the 2nd, the 4th, and the

5th counted either from Lagn's lord or from Atma Karak

rashi, one will become a king.

 

Similarly, malefics in the 3rd and 6th from Lagn's lord or

from Atma Karak rashi will make one a king.

 

11. One will be related to royal circles if Shukr is the

Karakamsh, or in the 5th there from, or in Lagn, or in

Arudh Lagn receiving a drishti from, or yuti with Guru or

Chandr.

12. Even if a single grah gives a drishti to the natal Lagn

or Hora Lagn or Ghatik Lagn, the native will become a

king.

 

13-14. If the six divisions (Shad Vargas) of Lagn are

occupied or receive a drishti from one and the same grah, a

Raj Yog is doubtlessly formed. Accordingly, if the drishti

is full, half, or one fourth, results will be in order

full, medium, and negligible.

 

15. If the 3 Lagnas (i.e. natal Lagn, Hora Lagn, and Ghatik

Lagn) are occupied by grahas in exaltation or in own rashi,

or if the natal Lagn, the Dreshkan Lagn, and the Navamsh

Lagn have exalted grahas, Raj Yog is formed.

 

16. If Chandr and a benefic are in the Arudh Lang as Guru

is in the 2nd from the natal Lagn and both these places are

receiving drishtis from grahas in exaltation, or grahas in

own rashi, there will be a Raj Yog.

 

17. If Lagn, Dhan, and Bandhu Bhava are occupied be

benefics, while a malefic is in Sahaj Bhava, one will

become a king or equal to a king.

 

18. The native will be wealthy if one among Chandr, Guru,

Shukr, and Buddh is exalted in Dhan Bhava.

 

19. If Ari, Randhr, and Sahaj Bhava are occupied by

debilitated grahas as Lagn's lord is exalted, or is in (his

other) own Bhava, and gives a drishti to Lagn, there is a

Raj Yog.

 

20. Again, a Raj Yog is formed if Ari's, Randhr's, and

Vyaya's lords are in fall or in inimical rashis, or in

combustion, as Lagn's lord placed in his (other) own rashi

or in its exaltation rashi gives a drishti to Lagn.

 

21. If Karm's lord, placed in his own bhava, or in its

exaltation rashi, gives a drishti to Lagn, a Raj Yog is

formed.

 

Similar is the case if benefics are in Kendras. (a Raj Yog

is formed)

 

22. If the Atma Karak grah is in a benefic's Rashi/Navamsh,

the native will be wealthy.

 

If there are benefics in Kendras from Karakamsh Lagn, he

will become a king.

 

23. If the Arudh Lagn and Dar Pad are in mutual Kendras or

in mutual Sahaj/Labh bhavas, or in mutual Konas, the native

will doubtlessly become a king.

 

24. If two or all of Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn, Ghatik Lagn are

receiving a drishti from exalted grahas, a Raj Yog is

formed.

 

25. If Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn, and Ghatik Lagn, their

Dreshkanas and Navamshas, or the said Lagnas and their

Navamshas, or the said Lagnas and their Dreshkanas receive

a drishti from a grah, a Raj Yog is formed.

26-27. If Arudh Pad is occupied by an exalted grah

particularly Chandr in exaltation, or by Guru and/or Shukr

(with or without exaltation), while there is no Argala by a

malefic, the native will become a king. If the Arudh Pad is

a benefic rashi containing Chandr, while Guru is in Dhan

Bhava the same effect will prevail.

 

 

28. Even if one among Ari's, Randhr's, and Vyaya's lords

being in debilitation gives a drishti to Lagn, there will

be a Raj Yog.

 

29-31. The native will become a king if a grah ruling

Bandhu, Karm, Dhan, or Labh gives a drishti to Lagn, while

Shukr gives a drishti to the 11th from Arudh Lagn as Arudh

Lagn is occupied by a benefic.

 

The same effect will be obtained if a debilitated grah gives

a drishti to Lagn and is placed in Ari or Randhr Bhava.

(i.e. The native will become a king)

Again, similar result will prevail if a debilitated grah

placed in Sahaj or Labh Bhava gives a drishti to Lagn.

(i.e. The native will become a king)

32. I now tell you of the Raj Yogas based on the grahas

with different dignities and on the drishtis and yutis of

the grahas.

 

 

33-34. Dharm's lord is akin to a minister, and more

especially Putr's lord. If these two grahas mutually give a

drishti, the native will obtain a kingdom. Even if these

two are yuti in any bhava, or if they happen to be placed

in mutually 7th places, one born of royal scion will become

a king.

 

 

35. The native will attain a kingdom if Bandhu's lord is in

Karm Bhava and Karm's lord is in Bandhu Bhava, and if these

grahas give a drishti to Putr's and Dharm's lords.

36. If the lords of Putr, Karm, Bandhu, and Lagn are yuti

in Dharm Bhava, one will become a ruler with fame spreading

over the four directions.

 

 

37. Should the lord of Bandhu Bhava, or of Karm Bhava join

either the Putr's lord or Dharm's lord, the native will

obtain a kingdom.

 

 

38. If Putr's lord is in Lagn, Bandhu, or Karm Bhava yuti

with Dharm's lord or Lagn lord, the native will become a

king.

 

 

39. Should Guru be in his own rashi identical with Dharm

Bhava and yuti with either Shukr or Putr's lord, the

native will obtain royal status.

 

 

40. Two and a half ghatis (i.e. 60 minutes of time) from

mid-day or from mid-night is auspicious time. A birth

during such an auspicious time will cause one to be a king

or equal to him.

 

 

41. Should Chandr and Shukr be mutually in Sahaj and Labh

Bhava and receiving drishtis from each other while they are

placed elsewhere (i.e. not in Sahaj and Labh Bhava), a Raj

Yog is obtained.

 

 

42. Should Chandr, endowed with strength, be Vargottamsh

and receives a drishti from four or more grahas, the native

will become a king.

 

 

43. One will become a king if Lagn in Uttamamsh receives a

drishti from four or more grahas out of which Chandr should

not be one.

44. If one or two or three grahas are in exaltation, one of

a royal scion will become a king, while another will be

equal to a king or be wealthy.

 

 

45. If four or five grahas occupy their exaltation rashis

or Mooltrikon rashis, even a person of base birth will

become king.

 

 

46. If six grahas are exalted, the native will become

emperor and will enjoy various kinds of royal

paraphernalia.

 

 

47. Even if one among Guru, Shukr, and Buddh is in

exaltation, while a benefic is in a Kendr the native will

become a king or be equal to him.

 

 

48. If all benefics are relegated to Kendras, while

malefics are in Sahaj, Ari, and Labh Bhava, the native,

though may be of mean descent will ascend, the throne.

 

Chapter 40

 

Yogas For Royal Association

 

 

1. If Karm's lord is yuti with or receives a drishti from

the dispositor of Amatya Karak, or even if Karm's lord is

yuti with or receives a drishti form Amatya Karak himself,

the native will be a chief in the kings court.

 

2. If Karm and Labh Bhava are devoid of malefic occupation

and devoid of drishti from a malefic, while Labh Bhava

receives a drishti from its own lord, the native will be a

chief in the king's court.

 

3. Should Amatya Karak and the dispositor of Atma Karak be

together the native will be endowed with great intelligence

and will be a king's minister.

('Karakendr' is interpreted here as the dispositor of

Atma Karak. Similarly, 'Amatyesa' means the dispositor of

Amatya Karak).

 

4. If Atma Karak is strong and is with a benefic or Amatya

Karak is in its own Bhava or in exaltation, one will surely

become a king's minister.

 

5. There is no doubt in one's becoming a king's minister

and famous if Atma Karak is in Tanu, or Putr, or Dharm

Bhava.

 

6. If Atma Karak or Amatya Karak is placed in a Kendr or in

a Kon the native will beget royal mercy, royal patronage,

and happiness there of.

 

7. Should malefics be in the 3rd and the 6th from Atma

Karak, or from Arudh Lagn, or in Sahaj and Ari Bhava, one

will become army chief.

 

8. If Atma Karak is in a Kendr, or in a Kon, or in

exaltation, or in its own bhava, and gives a drishti to

Dharm's lord, the native will be a king's minister.

 

9. If the lord of the rashi where Chandr is placed becomes

Atma Karak and if this lord is placed in Tanu Bhava along

with a benefic, the native will become a king's minister at

his advanced age.

 

10. Should the Atma Karak be in Putr, Yuvati, Karm, or

Dharm Bhava and happen to be with a benefic, one will earn

wealth through royal patronage.

 

11. If the Arudh of Dharm Bhava happens to be itself the

Janm Lagn, or if Atma Karak is placed in Dharm Bhava the

native will be associated with royal circles.

 

12. One will gain through royal association if Labh Bhava

is occupied by its own lord, and is devoid of a drishti

from a malefic. The Atma Karak should at the same time be

yuti with a benefic.

 

13. An exchange of rashis between Karm's lord and Lagn's

lord will make the native associated with the king in a

great manner.

14. If Shukr and Chandr are in the 4th from Karakamsh Lagn,

the native will be endowed with royal insignia.

 

15. Should Lagn's lord, or the Atma Karak, be yuti with

Putr's lord and be in a Kendr or in a Kon, the native will

be a king or minister.

Chapter 41

 

Combinations For Wealth

 

1. I now tell you of special combinations giving wealth.

One born to these Yogas will surely become wealthy.

 

2. Yogas for Great Affluence (up to sloka 8): Should a

rashi of Shukr be Putr Bhava and be occupied by Shukr

himself, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava, the native will

obtain great riches.

 

3. Should a rashi of Buddh be Putr Bhava and be occupied by

Buddh himself as Labh Bhava is occupied by Chandr, Mangal,

and Guru, the native will be very affluent.

 

4. Should Simh be Putr Bhava and be occupied by Surya

himself as Shani, Chandr, and Guru are in Labh Bhava, the

native will be very affluent.

 

5. Should Surya and Chandr be in Labh Bhava as Shani is in

Putr Bhava identical with his own bhava, the native will be

very affluent.

 

6. Should Guru be in Putr Bhava identical with his own

rashi as Buddh is in Labh Bhava, the native will be very

affluent.

 

7. If a rashi of Mangal happens to be Putr Bhava with

Mangal there in while Shukr is in Labh Bhava, the native

will become very affluent.

 

8. If Kark happens to be Putr Bhava containing Chandr there

in, while Shani is in Labh Bhava, the native will become

very affluent.

 

9. Yogas for Wealth (up to sloka 15): Should Surya be in

Simh identical with Lagn, and be yuti with or receiving a

drishti from Mangal and Guru, one will be wealthy.

 

10. Should Chandr be in Kark identical with Lagn, and be

yuti with or receiving a drishti from Buddh and Guru one

will be wealthy.

 

11. Should Mangal be in Lagn identical with his own rashi

and be yuti with or receiving a drishti from Buddh, Shukr,

and Shani, the native will be rich.

 

12. Should Buddh's rashi be Lagn with Buddh there in and

should Buddh be yuti with or receiving a drishti from Shani

and Guru the native will be rich.

 

13. Should Guru be in Lagn identical with as own rashi and

be yuti with or receiving a drishti from Buddh and Mangal,

the native will be rich.

 

14. If Shukr happens to be in Lagn identical with his own

rashi and be yuti with or receiving a drishti from Shani

and Buddh, one will be wealthy.

 

15. If Shani is in his own rashi identical with Lagn and

receiving a drishti from or being yuti with Mangal and

Guru, the native will be wealthy.

16. Other Qualified Grahas: Dharm's lord and Putr's lord

are capable of bestowing wealth. Similarly, grahas yuti

with Dharm's lord and/or Putr's lord are capable of

bestowing wealth. There is no doubt that these grahas will

give wealth during their Dasha periods.

 

17. The Yogas mentioned above (up to sloka 16) should be

delineated after knowing favourable or unfavourable

dispositions of the participant grahas and their strength

and weakness.

 

18-19. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of the Lords of

Kendras: If the lord of a Kendr is in Parijatamsh, the

native will be liberal,

 

if the lord of a Kendr is in Uttamamsh the native will be

highly liberal,

 

if the lord of a Kendr is in Gopuramsh the native will be

endowed with prowess,

if the lord of a Kendr is in Simhasanamsh the native will

be honourable, (prominent, etc.),

 

if the lord of a Kendr is in Paravatamsh the native will be

valorous,

 

if the lord of a Kendr is in Devalokamsh the native will be

head of an assembly,

 

if the lord of a Kendr is in Brahmalokamsh the native will

be a sage,

 

and if the lord of Kendr is in Iravatamsh the native will

be delighted and be celebrated in all quarters.

 

20-22. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Putr's Lord:

If Putr's lord is in Parijatamsh, the native will take to

the branch of learning befitting his race;

 

if Putr's lord is in Uttamamsh the native will have

excellent learning;

if Putr's lord is in Gopuramsh the native will receive

world-wide honours;

 

if Putr's lord is in Simhasanamsh the native will become a

minister;

 

if Putr's lord is in also Paravatamsh the native will be

endowed with Vedic Knowledge;

 

if Putr's lord is in Devalokamsh the native will be a Karm

Yogi (i.e. a performer of actions, worldly and religious

rites);

 

if Putr's lord is in Brahmalokamsh the native will be

devoted to the Lord;

 

and if Putr's lord is in Iravatamsh the native will be

pious.

 

Notes: While the lords of the four Kendras are treated in

one and the same breath, Maharishi Parashar gives special

importance to Putr's and Dharm's lords individually. The

effects may suitably be understood based on the

explanations given above for the lords of Kendras.

 

23-27. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Dharm's Lord:

If Dharm's lord is in Parijatamsh, the native will visit

holy places;

 

if Dharm's lord is in Uttamamsh, the native has been

visiting holy places in the past births and he will do the

same within this life-time;

 

if Dharm's lord is in Gopuramsh the native will perform

sacrificial rites;

 

if Dharm's lord is in Simhasanamsh the native will be

mighty and truthful; he will be a conquerer of his senses

and will concentrate only on the Brahman, giving up all

religions;

 

if Dharm's lord is in Paravatamsh the native will be the

greatest of ascetics;

 

if Dharm's lord is in Devalokamsh the native will be an

ascetic holding a cudgel ('lagudi'), or he will be a

religious mendicant that has renounced all mundane

attachments and carrying three long staves tied together in

his right hand ('Tridandin');

 

and if Dharm's lord is in Brahmalokamsh the native will

perform Aswamedh Yagya (Horse Sacrifice) and will attain

the state of Lord Indra.

 

If Dharm's lord is in Iravatamsh the native will be a

synonym of Dharma or virtues just as Lord Ram and

Yudhishtira (the eldest of Pandavas).

 

28. Lords of Kendras and Konas Related: The Kendras are

known as Vishnu Sthanas (i.e. Bhavas of Lord Vishnu), while

the Konas are called Lakshmi Sthanas (i.e. Bhavas of

Lakshmi). If the lord of a Kendr establishes a relationship

with the lord of a Kon, a Raj Yog is obtained.

 

(A sixth kind of relationship can also be extended in this

context to Navamsh positions though there is no specific

classic sanction for this. For example in the case of a

Makar native, Mangal in the Navamsh of Shukr, and Shukr in

the Navamsh of Mangal will confer a superior Raj Yog. This

form of relationship will be equally superior like the

first 3 relationships mentioned in the earlier paragraph).

 

 

29-34 Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Related Lords

of Kendras and Lords of Konas (as indicated in sloka 28):

If the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in sloka 28, happen to be in

Parijatamsh, the native will be king and will protect men;

 

 

if the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in sloka 28, happen to be in

Uttamamsh, the native will be an excellent king endowed

with elephants, horses, chariots, etc.;

if the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in sloka 28, happen to be in

Gopuramsh, the native will be a tiger of kings honoured by

other kings;

 

 

and if the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in slokas 28, happen to be in

Simhasanamsh the native will be an emperor ruling over the

entire earth; with the said Raj Yog relationship of the

said grahas in Simhasanamsh were born Harish Chandr, Manu,

Bali, the Fire god (Agni Deva) and many emperors.

 

In the present Yuga so born is Yudhishtira (or Dharm Raj of

Mahabharat). Salivahana's birth and that of others will

also come with this Yog.

 

With the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in sloka 28, placed in

Paravatamsh, Manu, etc., were born.

The Incarnations of Lord Vishnu took place when the lord of

a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a relationship as

indicated in sloka 28, were placed in Devalokamsh;

 

with the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having a

relationship as indicated in sloka 28, placed in

Brahmalokamsh Lord Brahma was born;

 

and with the lord of a Kendr and the lord of a Kon, having

a relationship as indicated in sloka 28, placed in

Iravatamsh the Swayambhu Manu was born. (Manu is the first

of the 14 Manus, identified as the second creator who

produced the Prajapatis. To Manu, the code of laws, viz.

Manu Smriti is ascribed) .

Chapter 42

 

Combinations for Penury

 

1. O Lord, you have stated many Yogas related to

acquisition of wealth. Please tell me such Yogas causing

utter poverty.

 

2. The native will be penniless if Lagn's lord is in Vyaya

Bhava, while Vyaya's lord is in Lagn along with the lord of

a Marak (a death inflicting grah) or receives a drishti

from such a grah.

 

3. The native will be penniless if Lagn's lord is in Ari

Bhava, while Ari's lord is in Lagn, yuti with or receiving

a drishti from a Marak lord.

 

4. Should Lagn or Chandr be with Ketu, while Lagn's lord is

in Randhr Bhava, the person concerned will be penniless.

 

5. If Lagn's lord along with a malefic is in Ari, Randhr,

or Vyaya Bhava, while Dhan's lord is in an enemy's rashi,

or in debilitation, even a native of royal scion will

become penniless.

 

6. If Lagn's lord is yuti with the lord of Ari, Randhr,

or Vyaya Bhava, or with Shani, and if Lagn's lord is

devoid of a drishti from a benefic the native will be

penniless.

 

7. Should Putr's and Dharm's lords be respectively found in

Ari and Vyaya Bhava, and receive a drishti from Marak

grahas, the native will be penniless.

 

8. If malefics, excepting the lords of Karm and Dharm

Bhava, happen to be in Lagn associated with or receiving

a drishti from Marak grahas one will become penniless.

 

9. Note the grahas that are ruling the rashis occupied by

the lords of Ari, Randhr, and Vyaya Bhava. If the said

dispositors are in such evil bhavas in turn, and are

associated with or receive a drishti from malefics, the

native will be miserable and indigent.

 

10. The lord of the Navamsh occupied by Chandr, joining a

Marak grah or occupying a Marak Bhava will make one

penniless.

 

11. Should the lord of the natal Lagn and that of the

Navamsh Lagn be yuti with or receive a drishti from Marak

grahas, one will be penniless.

 

12. If inauspicious bhavas are occupied by benefics, while

auspicious bhavas are occupied by malefics, the native will

be indigent and will be distressed even in the matter of

food.

 

13. A grah associated with one of the lords of Ari, Randhr,

and Vyaya Bhava, being bereft of a drishti from the lord of

a Kon, will in its Dasha periods cause harm to the native's

financial aspects.

 

14. If the 8th/12th from Atma Karak, or Randhr/Vyaya Bhava

receive a drishti from the Atma Karak's Navamsh lord and

the lord of Janma Lagn, the native will be bereft of wealth.

 

15. The native will be a spend thrift if the 12th from Atma

Karak receives a drishti from the dispositor of Atma Karak

or if Vyaya Bhava receives a drishti from the lord of Lagn.

 

16-18. Now I tell you some Yogas for poverty along with

conditions of their nullifications. Should Mangal and Shani

be together in Dhan Bhava, the native's wealth will be

destroyed.

 

Should Buddh give a drishti to Mangal and Shani in Dhan

Bhava, there will be great wealth. There is no doubt in

it.

 

Surya in Dhan Bhava receiving a drishti from Shani will

cause penury;

 

while if Surya is in Dhan Bhava and does not receive a

drishti from Shani, riches and fame will be obtained.

The same effects (i.e. poverty) will be declared if Shani

is in Dhan Bhava receiving a drishti from Surya.

 

Chapter 43

 

Longevity

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have dealt with combinations

for wealth and poverty. Kindly detail methods of

ascertaining the life span of human beings.

 

2-3. 0 Brahmin, for the benefit of mankind I narrate

methods of ascertaining longevity; knowing that longevity

is difficult even for gods. Many exponents have laid down

various methods of longevity calculations. Following is the

summary of such schools of thoughts.

 

4-8. Pindayu: The grahas contribute to longevity according

to their being in exaltation, or debilitation, and also

based on their strengths and weaknesses and positions in

Ashvini, etc., and in the various rashis. First of all,

Pindayu is based on the positions of the grahas. O Brahmin,

listen carefully to what I say: 19, 25, 15, 12, 15, 21, and

20 are the number of years contributed by the grahas from

Surya, etc., when in (deep) exaltation. These are half of

the above in (deep) debilitation; and if the grahas are in

between exaltation and debilitation, the rule of three

process should be used. Deduct the actual position of the

grah from its deep exaltation point. If the product is less

than 6 rashis, deduct it again from 12 rashis. The product

concerned should be multiplied by the number of years

allotted to the grah and divided by 12 to get the grah's

actual contribution.

 

9. Rectifications: Excepting Shukr and Shani, the

contributions made by others should be halved, if they are

eclipsed, by Surya. One third should be reduced if the grah

is in its inimical rashi. This does not apply to the one in

retrogression (see Vakra Charam).

 

10-11. Deductions for Grahas in the Visible Half of the

Zodiac: Full, half, one third, one fourth, one fifth, and

one sixth are the deductions of contributions made by

malefics placed in the visible half of the zodiac. Benefics

in such cases lose only half of what malefics lose. Should

there be more than one grah in a bhava, the deduction due

to the strongest will only prevail, and not deductions due

to other grahas in that particular bhava. Waning Chandr is

a benefic for this purpose.

 

12-13. Malefics in Lagn: In case Tanu Bhava is occupied by

malefics, adopt the following procedure: Convert Lagn's

Sphuta into minutes of arc and multiple it by the years,

etc., contributed by the occupant and divide by 21600. The

years etc. so arrived be deducted from the respective

contribution which will be the net span donated by the

grah. If there is benefics drishti on Lagn containing

malefics then the loss is only half (obtained through these

calculations).

 

14-15. Lagn's Contribution: The number of years contributed

by Lagn will correspond to the number of rashis it gained

(from Mesh), while the degrees Lagn has gained in the

particular rashi will also correspondingly donate (i.e. 30

degrees=l year). If the Lagn's lord in the Navamsh is

stronger than Lagn's lord, then the contribution should be

computed only based on the number of Navamshas gained (from

Mesh), otherwise the computation will be for the Rashi

Lagn.

 

16-17. Nisargayu: O Brahmin, now I tell you about Nisargayu

1, 2, 9, 20, 18, 20,and 50 are the years allotted to

Chandr, Mangal, Buddh, Shukr, Guru, Surya, and Shani from

the period of birth.

 

18-19. Amshayu: Now, I will tell you about Amshayu

contributions by Lagn and grahas. The years correspond to

the number of Navamshas counted from Mesh. Multiply the

longitude in question by 108. If the product exceeds 12,

expunge multiples of 12 and consider the final product in

rashis, degrees, etc., as years, months, etc..

 

20-22. The same reductions as per Pindayu apply to Amshayu

as well; i.e. half for a combust grah, one third for

inimical placement and the ones due for placements in the

half of the zodiac counted from the 12th backwards. Some

scholars suggest further corrections for Amshayu, viz. To

increase three fold the contribution of a grah in

exaltation or in own bhava and double the contribution if

the contributor is in his own Navamsh or in his own

Dreshkan. If doubling and trebling is warranted, only

trebling be done. In case of reductions also, only halving

is to be done if both halving and reducing a third are

required. That is how the final life span of men be

understood.

 

23. Longevity for Other Living Beings: For other living

beings as well such computations can be made. The said

figure should be multiplied by the figure corresponding to

its full span of life and divided by the figure

corresponding to the full span of life for human beings.

 

24-29. Full Life Span of Various Living Beings: Now, I'll

tell you about the full life span figures for various

living beings. Gods and sages enjoy endless life span (i.e.

in astronomical proportions as against ordinary mortals).

The full life span of eagles, owls, parrots, crows, and

snakes is one thousand years. For falcon, monkey, bear, and

frog the full span of life is 300 years. Demon's full life

span is 150 years, while it is 120 years for human beings.

32 years for horses. 25 years for donkeys and camels, 24

years for oxen and buffaloes, 20 years for peacocks, 16

years for goats and rams. 14 years for swans, 12 years for

cuckoo, dog, and dove, 8 years for hens, etc., and 7 years

for birds, etc..

 

30-31. Choice of Longevity: I have narrated 3 different

methods of longevity. Listen to me about the choice among

the three systems. According to which of the three: Lagn,

Surya, or Chandr is stronger than the other two, Amshayu,

Pindayu, or Nisargayu should be respectively chosen.

 

32. Doubtful Cases: If two among Lagn, Surya, and Chandr

gain equal strength, then longevity should be worked out as

per both systems and the average of both (final) should be

considered. If all the three are equally strong, the

average of the three should be considered.

 

33-40. Other Clues to Longevity: O excellent of the

Brahmins, I will now give you details of other methods in

the matter of longevity as under: This is based on the

positions of Lagn's lord, Randhr's lord, Shani, Chandr,

natal Lagn, and Hora Lagn. These six are grouped into three

groups, thus:

 

the lords of Lagn and of Randhr Bhava on the one hand,

Shani and Chandr on the other hand, and

the natal Lagn and Hora Lagn on yet the other hand.

 

Out of a group of two, if the two are in movable rashis

long life is denoted. One in a fixed rashi and the other in

a dual rashi will also bestow long life. One in a movable

rashi and the other in a fixed rashi will give medium life.

If both are in dual rashis then, again medium life will be

obtained. Short life is denoted if one is in a movable

rashi as the other is in a dual rashi, or if both are in

fixed rashis. The type of life denoted by three or two

groups be only considered. If the three groups denote

different scales, then the one indicated by the pair of

natal Lagn and Hora Lagn should be only considered. In case

of three different indications if Chandr is in Lagn or

Yuvati Bhava, then, the one indicated by the Shani-Chandr

pair will only come to pass.

 

41-44. Further Clarifications: If long life is denoted by

all the said three groups, the span is 120 years, if by two

groups it is 108 years, and if only by one group it is 91

years. If medium life is arrived at by three groups it is

80 years, if medium life span is indicated by 2 groups it

is 72 years, and if medium life span is indicated by one

group it is 64 years. If short life is denoted by the said

three groups it is only 32 years, if short life is

indicated by two groups, the life span is 36 years, and if

short life is indicated by one group the life span is 40

years. These are rectified as under.

 

45-46. Rectifications: If the contributor is in the

beginning of a rashi, his donation will be full, and it

will be nil if he is at the end of a rashi. For

intermediary placements, rule of the process will apply.

Add the longitudes of the contributors (devoid of rashis)

and the sum so arrived at must be divided by the number of

contributors. The latest product should be multiplied by

the number of basic years and divided by 30. This will

yield the net longevity.

 

47. Special Rule for Shani: Should Shani be a contributor,

the class of longevity declines. Some advocate contrarily,

an increase of class in this context. If Shani is in its

own rashi or in exaltation, change in class will not occur.

Even if he receives a drishti from or is yuti with only a

malefic, no change occurs.

 

48. Special Rule for Guru: If Guru is in Lagn or in Yuvati

Bhava, and receives a drishti from or is yuti with only

benefics, the class of longevity will increase.

 

49-50. Increase and Fall in Class of Longevity: From very

short life to short life, from short life to medium life,

from medium life to long life and from long life to

extremely long life are the increases in the classification

of longevity when Guru warrants an increase. The reverse is

true if Shani warrants a fall in the span of life.

 

51. (Maitreya says): You have narrated various kinds of

longevity computations. Please favour me by denoting subtle

classes there of and poor and long life spans.

 

52. (Maharishi Parashar replies): These are seven-fold,

viz. Bal Risht, Yog Risht, short, medium, long,

super-natural (Divya), and immortality (Amritayu).

 

53-54. The life span in Bal Risht is 8 years, in Yog Risht

20 years; in short, medium, and long lives respectively 32,

64, and 120 years. Super-natural life span is 1000 years.

Above this super-natural life span of 1000 years it is

Amritayu, which can be acquired only by those who deserve

it (Merits).

 

55. Limitless Longevity: Should Kark be Lagn with Guru and

Chandr there in, while Shukr and Buddh are in Kendras, and

others are in Sahaj, Ari, and Labh Bhava, the native will

obtain limitless longevity.

56. Super-natural Longevity: One having benefics in Kendras

and/or Konas, while malefics are in Sahaj, Ari, and Labh

Bhava will obtain super-natural life span (one thousand

years). Randhr Bhava in this case should be one of the

rashis owned by a benefic.

 

57. Living until the End of the Yuga: One born in Kark Lagn

will live till the end of the yuga if Guru is in a Kendr

and happens to be in Gopuramsh, while Shukr is in a Kon and

happens to be in Paravatamsh.

 

58. Living the Life Span of a Sage: Guru in Simhasanamsh

being in Lagn, Shani in Devalokamsh, and Mangal in

Paravatamsh; if these are so, one will enjoy the life span

as due to a sage.

 

59. Good Yogas increase the life span and bad Yogas

decrease the same (as arrived by mathematical means).

Hence, I tell you such Yogas as to know of full, medium,

and short span combinations.

60. If a Kendr contains a benefic, while Lagn's lord is

yuti with or receives a drishti from a benefic, or Guru

in particular, the native will live a full span of life.

 

61. Should Lagn's lord be in a Kendr yuti with or

receiving a drishti from Guru and Shukr, full life span

will result.

 

62. If at birth three grahas are exalted, out of which the

lords, of Lagn and Randhr Bhava are inclusive, as Randhr

Bhava is devoid of a malefic in it, full life span will

result.

 

63. Long life is denoted if three grahas are in Randhr

Bhava, in exaltation, own or friendly divisions, while

Lagn's lord is strong.

 

64. If Shani or Lagn's lord is yuti with any exalted grah,

long life will result.

 

65. Long life will be enjoyed if malefics are in Sahaj,

Ari, and Labh Bhava, while benefics are in Kendras.

 

66. If Ari, Yuvati, and Randhr Bhava are occupied by

benefics, while malefics are in Sahaj and Labh Bhava, full

life span will follow the birth.

 

67. If Randhr's lord is friendly to Surya, while malefics

are in Ari and Vyaya Bhava, as Lagn's lord is in a Kendr,

the native will live the full span of life.

 

68. 0 excellent of the Brahmins, if a malefic is in Randhr

Bhava, while Karm's lord is exalted, one will be long

lived.

 

69. Long life will follow if Lagn is a dual rashi, while

Lagn's lord is in a Kendr, or in exaltation, or in a Kon.

 

70. Should Lagn be a dual rashi, while two malefics are in

a Kendr with reference to a strong Lagn's lord, long life

is indicated.

 

71-73. If the stronger among Lagn's lord and Randhr's lord

is placed in a Kendr long life is indicated;

 

and if in a Panaphara (Dhan, Putr, Randhr, or Labh Bhava)

medium life is indicated;

 

If the stronger among Lagn's lord and Randhr's lord is

placed in Apoklima (Sahaj, Ari, Dharm, or Vyaya Bhava)

short life will come to pass.

 

According to Lagn's lord being friendly, neutral, or

inimical to Surya, long, medium, or short life will

result.

 

74. Should Mangal and Sahaj's lord, or Randhr's lord and

Shani, be combust or (two of either pair) be yuti with

malefics or receive a drishti from malefics, there will be

short life.

 

75. If Lagn's lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava yuti

with malefics and devoid of yuti with and/or drishti from a

benefic, short life will come to pass.

 

76. If malefics are in Kendras devoid of yuti with or a

drishti from benefics, while Lagn's lord is not strong,

only short life will result.

 

77. 0 excellent of Brahmins, if Vyaya and Dhan Bhava are

occupied by malefics and devoid of a drishti from a benefic

or devoid of yuti with a benefic, the native will be

short-lived.

 

78. If the lords of Lagn and Randhr Bhava are bereft of

dignities and strength, short life will come to pass.

 

If the lords of Lagn and Randhr Bhava are helped by others,

while being so, medium life span will come to pass.

 

Chapter 44

 

Marak (Killer) Grahas

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have mentioned a lot about

longevity. Be kind enough to throw light on Marakas or

killers.

 

2-5. 0 Brahmin, Sahaj and Randhr Bhava are the two bhavas

of longevity. The bhavas related to death are the 12th from

each of these, i.e. Dhan and Yuvati Bhava are Marak

Bhavas.

 

3. Out of the two (i.e. Dhan and Yuvati Bhava), Dhan Bhava

is a powerful Marak Bhava (as against Yuvati Bhava). The

lords of Dhan and Yuvati Bhava, malefics in Dhan and Yuvati

Bhava, and malefics yuti with Dhan's lord and yuti with

Yuvati's lord, are all known as Marakas. The major and sub

periods of these grahas will bring death on the native

depending on whether he has a long life, medium life, or

short life person.

6-7. The Dasha of a benefic grah related to Vyaya's lord

may also inflict death. End may descend on the native in

Randhr's lord's Dasha. The Dasha of a grah which is an

exclusive malefic (i.e. first-rate malefic) may also cause

death.

 

9. Should Shani be ill-disposed and be related to a Marak

grah, he will be the first to kill in preference to other

grahas.

 

10-14. 0 Brahmin, I tell you further about Marakas.

Narrated earlier are three kinds of life spans, viz. short,

medium, and long. Short life is before 32 years, later on

up to 64 it is medium life, and from 64 to 100 it is long

life. Beyond 100 the longevity is called supreme. O

excellent of the Brahmins, it is impossible to decide upon

longevity till the native is 20 years old. Till such year

the child should be protected by sacred recitations,

religious offerings (of ghee, etc., to consecrated fire as

prescribed in the Vedas, etc., and through medical

treatments, for premature death may descend on the child

due to sins of father and mother or of its own (in the

previous birth).

 

15-21. I further mention about the Marak grahas. One born

with short life combinations may face death in the Dasha

denoted by Vipat star (the 3rd from the birth star); one of

medium life may die in the Dasha denoted by Pratyak star

(the 5th from the birth star). In the Dasha denoted by Vadh

star (the 7th from the birth star), one with long life may

obtain his end. The Dasha of the lord of the 22nd Dreshkan,

or the Dasha of the lord of the 23rd, or the Dasha of the

lord of the 3rd, or the Dasha of the lord of the 5th, or

the Dasha of the lord of the 7th asterisms may also cause

death. The lords of the 2nd and the 12th counted from Kark

may bring death, this is true when Chandr is a malefic; if

he happens to be a benefic there will be (only) diseases

(but not death). Death may come to pass in the Dasha of

Ari's lord and in the sub periods of Ari's, Randhr's,

and/or Vyaya's lords. Should there be many Marakas (endowed

with the power of killing),and if these Marakas are strong,

there will be diseases, miseries, etc., in major and sub

periods. Thus, these are Marakas (as is mentioned above)

and are primarily related to bring death upon the native.

According to their dispositions there may be death or

difficulties.

 

 

22-24. Rahu and Ketu as Marakas: If Rahu or Ketu are placed

in Tanu, Yuvati, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or happen to be in

the 7th from a Marak lord, or are placed with such a grah,

they acquire powers of killing in their major or sub

periods.

 

For one born in Makar, or in Vrischik, Rahu will be a

Marak.

 

Should Rahu be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, he will give

difficulties in his Dasha periods. He will not, however, do

so if Rahu receives a drishti from, or is yuti with a

benefic.

 

25-31. Sahaj Bhava and Death: O excellent of Brahmins, if

Surya, being with strength, is in Sahaj Bhava, one will

obtain his death due to a king (or legal punishments);

 

Chandr in Sahaj Bhava will cause death due to

tuberculosis,

 

while wounds, weapons, fire, and thirst will cause death

through Mangal in Sahaj Bhava.

 

If Sahaj Bhava receives a drishti from, or is occupied by

Shani and Rahu, death will be through poison, water, or

fire, or fall from heights, or confinement.

 

Death will surely come to descend through insects or

leprosy if Chandr and Gulik occupy or give a drishti to

Sahaj Bhava.

 

Buddh giving a drishti to or occupying Sahaj Bhava will

bring death followed by fever.

 

Guru in Sahaj Bhava or giving a drishti to Sahaj Bhava will

cause death by swelling or tumours.

 

Urinary diseases will cause death if Shukr is in, or gives

a drishti to Sahaj Bhava.

 

Many grahas giving a drishti to

or occupying Sahaj Bhava will bring death through many

diseases.

 

32, If Sahaj Bhava is occupied by a benefic, death will be

in an auspicious place (like a shrine);

 

and if Sahaj Bhava is occupied by a malefic death will be

in sinful places.

 

Mixed occupation of Sahaj Bhava will yield mixed results

with regard to the place of death.

 

33. Consciousness will prevail at the time of death if Guru

or Shukr are placed in Sahaj Bhava.

 

With other grahas in Sahaj Bhava, there will be

unconsciousness before death.

 

34. According to Sahaj Bhava being a movable, a fixed, or a

dual rashi, death will be respectively in a foreign place

(other than native birth place), in one's own house, or on

the way.

 

35-36: Occupants of Randhr Bhava: Note the occupant of

Randhr Bhava: If it is Surya, death will be through fire;

 

if Chandr is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through water;

 

if Mangal is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through

weapons;

 

if Buddh is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through fever;

 

if Guru is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through

diseases;

if Shukr is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through hunger;

 

and if Shani is in Randhr Bhava, death will be through

thirst.

 

37. If Randhr Bhava is occupied by or receives a drishti

from a benefic, while Dharm's lord is yuti with a benefic

the native will die in a shrine.

 

If Randhr Bhava is occupied by or receives a drishti from a

malefic, while Dharm's lord is yuti with a malefic, death

will be in a place other than a shrine.

 

38-39. Fate of the Human Physical System: Should there be a

benefic's Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava (i.e. the 22nd

Dreshkan), the body will be burnt in fire (as prescribed in

Shastras);

 

if a malefic's Dreshkan happens to be in Randhr Bhava, the

body will be thrown away in water;

if the Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava is owned by a mixed grah

the dead body will only dry up;

 

if the Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava is a serpent Dreshkan, the

body will be eaten away by animals, crows, etc.;

 

40. Serpent Dreshkanas: The 2nd and 3rd Dreshkan in Kark,

the initial one in Vrischik, and the last one in Meen are

designated as serpent Dreshkanas.

 

41-42. Pre-natal Abode: O excellent of Brahmins, the

stronger of the two luminaries, Surya and Chandr, occupying

a Dreshkan of Guru denotes the descent from the world of

gods.

 

If the stronger of the luminaries, Surya and Chandr,

occupies the Dreshkan of Shukr or Chandr, the descent is

from the world of the Manes;

 

if the stronger of the two luminaries, Surya and Chandr, is

in the Dreshkan of Surya or Mangal, the descent is from the

world of Yama (the world of the death);

 

and if the stronger of the two luminaries, Surya and

Chandr, is in Dreshkan of Buddh or Shani, the descent is

from the hell.

 

43-45. Ascent after Death: According to the following

grahas in Vyaya, Yuvati, Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native

will attain one of the different worlds after death:

 

Guru: heaven;

Chandr or Shukr: the world of Manes;

Mangal and/or Surya: earth (i.e. rebirth);

Buddh and/or Shani: hell.

 

In case the said bhavas are not occupied, the native will

go to the world indicated by the stronger of the Dreshkan

lords related to Ari and Randhr Bhava. The relative grah's

exaltation, etc., will denote the high, medium, and low

status the native will obtain in the said world.

world of Yama (the world of the death);

 

and if the stronger of the two luminaries, Surya and

Chandr, is in Dreshkan of Buddh or Shani, the descent is

from the hell.

 

43-45. Ascent after Death: According to the following

grahas in Vyaya, Yuvati, Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native

will attain one of the different worlds after death:

 

Guru: heaven;

Chandr or Shukr: the world of Manes;

Mangal and/or Surya: earth (i.e. rebirth);

Buddh and/or Shani: hell.

 

In case the said bhavas are not occupied, the native will

go to the world indicated by the stronger of the Dreshkan

lords related to Ari and Randhr Bhava. The relative grah's

exaltation, etc., will denote the high, medium, and low

status the native will obtain in the said world.

 

46. Other grahas and rashis becoming Marakas are being

discussed in the chapter related to Dashas.

 

Chapter 45

 

Avasthas of Grahas

 

1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have earlier stated that the

Avasthas, or states, of the grahas are to be considered in

the context of the effects of the grahas. Be so kind to

tell me about this.

 

2. 0 excellent of Brahmins, various kinds of Avasthas of

the grahas have been expounded. Out of these, I will give

you the summary of Baal (infant) and other states of the

grahas (in the first instance).

 

3. Baal, Kumar, Yuv, Vriddh, and Mrit Avastha: Infant,

youthful, adolescent, old, and dead are the states of the

grahas placed in the ascending order at the rate of six

degrees in odd rashis. In the case of even rashis this

arrangement is in reverse order.

 

(These five Avasthas are known as Baal Adi Avasthas.

For odd rashis, the placement concerned will denote the

Avastha as under:

 

Baal Avastha (Infant state): O to 6 degrees

Kumar Avastha (Youthful state): 6 to 12 degrees

Yuv Avastha (Adolescent state): 12 to 18 degrees

Vriddh Avastha (Advanced state): 18 to 24 degrees

Mrit Avastha (In extremis): 24 to 30 degrees

 

The above order is to be reversed for placement in an even

rashi).

 

4. Results: One fourth, half, full, negligible, and nil are

the grades of the results due to a grah in infant,

youthful, adolescent, old, and dead Avasthas.

 

5. Awakening, Dreaming, and Sleeping States: If a grah is

in its own rashi, or in exaltation it is said to be in a

state of awakening (or alertness). In the rashi of a friend

or of a neutral rashi, it is in dreaming state, while in an

enemy's rashi, or in debilitation it is in a state of

sleeping.

 

6. According to a grah being in Awakening, Dreaming or

Sleeping states, the results due to it will be full,

medium, or nil.

 

7. Other Kinds of States: There are nine kinds of other

Avasthas, viz. Dipt, Swasth, Pramudit, Shanta, Din, Vikal,

Khal, and Kop.

 

8-10. If a grah is in its exaltation rashi, it is in Dipt

Avastha;

 

if a grah is in its own rashi, it is in Swasth Avastha,

if a grah is in a great friend's rashi, it is in Pramudit

Avastha;

if a grah is in a friendly rashi, it is in Shanta Avastha;

if a grah is in a neutral rashi, it is in Din Avastha;

if a grah is yuti with a malefic, it is in Vikal Avastha;

if a grah is in an enemy's rashi, it is in Duhkhit

Avastha;

if a grah is in a great enemy's rashi it is in Khal

Avastha;

and if a grah is being eclipsed by Surya, it is in Kop

Avastha.

Depending on such a state of the grah, the bhava occupied

by it will obtain corresponding effects.

 

8. Yet Other Avasthas: Lajjit, Garvit, Kshudhit, Trushit,

Mudit, and Kshobhit are the (six) other kinds of Avasthas

due to the grahas.

 

Placed in Putr Bhava, if a grah is associated with Rahu or

Ketu, or with Surya, Shani, or Mangal, it is in Lajjit

Avastha.

 

If a grah is in exaltation or in Mooltrikon, it is Gavit

Avastha.

 

If a grah is in an enemy's rashi, or yuti with an enemy, or

receives a drishti from an enemy, or even if a grah is yuti

with Shani, the Avastha is Kshudhit.

If a grah is in a watery rashi and receives a drishti from

a malefic but does not receive a drishti from a benefic, the

Avastha is called Trushit.

 

If a grah is in a friendly rashi, or is yuti with, or

receives a drishti from a benefic, or is yuti with Guru, it

is said to be in Mudit Avastha.

 

If a grah is yuti with Surya and receives a drishti from,

or is yuti with a malefic, or receives a drishti from an

enemy, it is said to be in Kshobhit Avastha.

The bhavas occupied by a grah in Kshudhit Avastha or in

Kshobhit Avastha are destroyed.

 

19-23. The learned should estimate the effects due to a

bhava in the manner cited above (i.e. with the help of

various kinds of Avasthas), after ascertaining the strength

and weakness (of the various grahas). Weak grahas cause

reduction in good effects ,while stronger ones give greater

effects.

If a grah posited in Karm Bhava is in Lajjit Avastha, in

Kshudhit Avastha, or in Kshobhit Avastha, the person will

always be subjected to miseries.

 

If a grah in Putr Bhava is in Lajjit Avastha, there will be

destruction of progeny, or there will be only one surviving

child.

 

Surely the wife of the native will die if there is a grah

in Yuvati Bhava in Kshobhit Avastha or in Trushit Avastha.

 

24-29. Effects of Garvit, Mudit, Lajjit, Kshobhit,

Kshudhit, and Trushit Avastha: A grah in Garvit Avastha

will cause happiness through new houses and gardens,

regalhood, skill in arts, financial gains at all times, and

improvement in business.

 

A grah in Mudit Avastha will give residences, clothes,

ornaments, happiness from lands and wife, happiness from

relatives, living in royal places, destruction of enemies,

and acquisition of wisdom and learning.

A grah in Lajjit Avastha will give aversion to God, loss of

intelligence, loss of child, interest in evil speeches, and

listlessness in good things.

 

A grah in Kshobhit Avastha will give acute penury, evil

disposition, miseries, financial debacles, distress to feet

and obstruction to income due to royal wrath.

 

A grah in Kshudhit Avastha will cause downfall due to grief

and passion, grief on account of relatives, physical

decline, troubles from enemies, financial distress, loss of

physical strength and an eclipsed mind due to miseries.

 

A grah in Trushit Avastha will cause diseases through

association with females, leading over wicked (or evil)

deeds, loss of wealth due to ones own men, physical

weakness, miseries caused by evil people, and decline of

honour.

 

30-37. Calculation of Shayan and Other Avasthas: Now, I

will tell you of the Avasthas viz. Shayan, Upavesan,

Netrapani, Prakash, Gaman, Agaman, Sabh, Agam, Bhojan,

Nritya Lips, Kautuk, and Nidr, and the Chesthas of such

Avasthas. Note the number of the stars (from Ashvini)

occupied by the grah for which an Avastha is to be

calculated. Multiply that number by the number denoted by

the grah (Surya 1, Chandr 2, Mangal 3, Buddh 4, Guru 5,

Shukr 6, and Shani 7). The figure so arrived at should

again be multiplied by the number of the Navamsh where the

grah is in. Add to this the number of the birth asterism,

the number of ghatis of birth, and the number of rashis

Lagn gained from Mesh. This figure should be divided by 12

and the remainder will indicate the corresponding Avastha

of the grah. The sub state in the said Avastha can be found

out in the following way: Multiply the figure denoted by

the Avastha concerned (i.e. Sayan 1, Upavesan 2, Netrapani

3, Prakash 4, Gaman 5, Agaman 6, Sabh 7, Agam 8, Bhojan 9,

Nritya Lips 10, Kautuk 11, and Nidr 12) by the same figure

and increase it by the figure denoted by the Anka value for

the first syllable of the native's personal name. Divide

the product so obtained by 12. The remainder there of

should be further increased by constant additives of the

Buddh 3, Guru 5, Shukr 3, Shani 3, Rahu 4 (and Ketu 4).

(Here the grah means the one for whom the sub state is

being known.) The product so arrived at should be divided

by 3. In the process of calculation if it happens that the

remainder is 1, it is Drishti, if the remainder is 2, it is

Chesht, and if the remainder is 0, it is Vichesht.

 

Notes: So far narrated are three different groups of

Avasthas. The present Avasthas are called Shayan Adi

Avasthas. These are of supreme importance as compared to

the other kinds of Avasthas..

 

The following formula may be adopted to know about the

grah's Avastha (Sayan Adi) at birth:

 

(s x p x n) + (a + g + r)

------------------------- = Avastha

12

 

 

Where as 's' denotes the serial number of the star occupied

by the grah, counted from Ashvini at birth; 'p' denotes the

status of the grah counted from Surya (i.e. Surya 1,

Chandr 2, Mangal 3, Buddh 4, Guru 5, Shukr 6, Shani 7); 'n'

denotes the grah's Navamsh position (i.e. 1 to 9

Navamshas); 'a' denotes Janm Nakshatr (or ruling star, i.e.

the one occupied by Chandr); 'g' denotes the ghati in which

birth took place (i. e. 20 ghatis 2 vighatis is 21 ghatis);

and 'r' denotes Lagn 's order counted from Mesh (i.e. Mesh

1, Vrishabh 2, Kark 4, Simh 5, and so on and so forth).

 

In place of 'n' given above, some translators interpret the

word 'Amsh' as degree occupied by the grah which is

obviously not correct. In this connection, the reader's

attention is drawn to Balabhadr's Hora Ratna, ch 3 wherein

the author Balabhadr himself gives an example for Surya

being in the 7th Navamsh of Simh and thus he considered

only 7 as multiplier. He has not taken in to account

Surya's degree. He quotes Adhibhut Sagara as his authority

for calculation of Sayan Adi Avasthas. It will thus be

clear that Amsh is Navamsh and not degree in this context.

Also please note that Agaman Avastha (the 6th one) is known

as Gamanechch Avastha by some exponents.

 

Take a case now as an example with the following data:

Surya in Kritika Nakshatr, 3rd Navamsh of Vrishabh (i.e. in

7 degrees 12' Vrishabh), the birth star is Kritika, birth

is at 30 ghatis 33 vighatis, and Lagn is in Vrischik. With

these we produce the following information, keeping the

formula given above.

 

s = 3, p = 1, n = 3; a = 3, g = 31, r = 8.

 

Hence to find out the Avastha,

 

(3 x 1 x 3) + (3 + 31 + 8) 51

-+- ----------------------- ----

12 12

 

With the help of remainder 3, we count three Avasthas from

Sayan. This indicates Netrapani Avastha for Surya.

Similarly, for 9 grahas, such Avasthas can be found out. In

a given horoscope, the factors 'a', 'g', and 'r' will be

identical for all the 9 grahas, while factors 's', 'p', and

'n' will be variable.

 

After knowing the Avasthas of various grahas, we have to

find out the sub-state of each Avastha. The formula for

knowing the sub-state is made in two stages, as under:

 

Stage 1: (A x A) + fs

------------ = R

12

 

Stage 2: (R + pa) : 3 = sub-state of an Avastha

 

Where 'A' is Avastha, 'f' is first syllable's value with

reference to the native's personal name, R is remainder in

stage 1, and 'pa' is the additives of the grah denoted in

the above slokas, such as Surya 5, Shukr 3, etc.. The

remainder at stage 2 will denote the sub-state such as 1 is

Drishti, 2 is Chesht, and 0 is Vichesht.

We need information about the Anka value, or value for the

first syllable of the name of a person. This value is:

 

1 for a, ka, cha, da (retroflex), and va;

2 for i, kha, ja, da (dental), and sha;

3 for u, ga, jha, ta (dental), pa, ya, and sha;

4 for e, gha, ta (retroflex), tha (dental), pha,

ra, and ma;

5 for o, ca, tha (retroflex), da (dental), and

ha.

 

Now with the above data, find the sub-state for Surya in

Netrapani Avastha as per the example given supra. First

syllable of the name is "Sa". Hence,

 

(3 x 3) + 4

Stage 1: ---------- = Remainder 1

12

 

(1 + 5)

Stage 2: ------- = 0

3

 

Remainder zero indicates sub-state as Vichesht, in

Netrapani Avastha.

 

38-39. Effects of Chesht, etc. : If the sub-state is

Drishti in an Avastha, the results being stated for the

Avastha will be medium; the effects will be full in Chesht,

and negligible in Vichesht. The good and bad effects of

grahas should be deciphered based on the strength and

weakness of the grahas. In exaltation, the grahas reveal

effects in a pronounced manner due to (good) Avasthas.

 

 

40-51. Effects of Surya's Avasthas at Birth: If Surya is in
