Zoran, Parasara never really said "whatever I am going to say now will

apply only to rasi chart". Because he defined many charts at the very

beginning of BPHS and listed the matters to be seen from each chart, it

is logicalto think that everything in the rest of BPHS applies to all

vargas.

 

However, it is true that Parasara didn't *explicitly* mention arudha

padas in divisional charts.

Dear Sanjay, I beg to differ. Using the 10th and 5th houses from ghati

lagna or 2nd and 11th houses from hora lagna is NOT a "deviation". After

defining these special lagnas in chapter 5 of BPHS, Parasara clearly

said:

 

kramaadeshaam cha lagnaanaam

bhaava koshtham prithak likhet |

ye grahaa yatra bhe tatra

te sthaapyaa raasilagnavat || 5-9

 

This means "taking planets in the same signs, find houses from these

respective lagnas again (bhava, hora, ghati lagnas)." There is

absolutely no ambiguity here. (In addition, the very fact that these

names contain "lagna" means that houses can be counted from them.

Otherwise ghatika lagna would've been called "ghatika sphuta" - a la

mrityu sphuta and trisphuta - or "ghatika saham" - a la mrityu saham and

rajya saham.)

 

So I respectfully, but strongly, disagree with your assertion that "This

is not as per the prescription of the sages who have advised us to study

the Gl & HL on the basis of the planetary aspects on them." Parasara DID

grant permission to take houses from BL, HL & GL and analyze the bhava

chakra, just as in the case of normal lagna.

 

As an example, exalted Jupiter and Venus in GL (lagna to be used to see

fame, power and authority) in your D-10 made you a famous scholar and

astrologer. Mercury's ownership of 3rd house from GL in both D-10 (deeds

in society) and D-24 (learning and knowledge) is making you a famous

author (you are running Mercury dasa).
