(1) Valmiki said "swochcha sanstheshu panchasu". Doesn't it mean "with five planets in own or exaltation signs"? Isn't interpreting "swochcha" as "own exaltation" somewhat absurd (if not own exaltation, who else's exaltation)? If you agree, aren't there six (rather than five) planets in own/exaltation signs in the chart given by you? Did Valmiki count incorrectly? (2) If Lakshmana was born in Cancer lagna with Sun in Aries, why did Valmiki say "abhyudite Ravau"? It normally means "with Sun rising". You can interpret it as "after sun rose", but that's a weak interpretation. I appreciate your continued guidance on this.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 ***Jaya Jagannath***Dear Narasimha (a) I agree with your normal interpretation of that stanza "swochcha sanstheshu panchasu" as implying own/exaltation for swochcha. But then would exalted planets have any relevance in dusthana or houses other than Kendra and trikona? Please refer to Brihat Jataka's Rajyoga where Varahamihira has explained the importance of exalted planets in the charts of Vishnu's incarnations/Rajyoga. In such a circumstance can we interpret the term swa in swochcha as implying the exaltations in kendra & trikona of five planets (not own sign planets). This term 'Swa' seems to have been in vogue in the Vedic times as Jaimini also uses this in "Swamse Grahanam" when he goes on to explain the results of planets in signs, trines etc from the Lagnamsa and Karakamsa. Contemporary authors have used Swouccha to refer to own and exaltation signs, but here we are refering to a time where the understanding was very pure. I have another version of the chart of Rama which has Mercury in gemini and the Upapada coming to Pisces explains Sita Devi etc even better, but then this seems absurd as Mercury cannot be so far away from the Sun. Given the various charts till date, the best is the one that I have given and this is also similar to that used by Prof. B.S.Rao. Someday you will be able to develop Jagannath Hora to draw a chart for the begining of the previous Yuga and then we shall have the chart of Sri Ram. Till then all we can do is debate and keep reading. (b) Here again I have given the chart that best explains Laxman going to Vanvas with Sri Rama and having periods of fortune similar to Him. This was also shown by Vasishtha by keeping the babies together. Normal present day interpretation is what you have given, but the other interpretation is also not incorrect. Just risen, risen, or just risen (with the implication that the midday was the point of highest rise), after rise etc are many interpretations and the one you give is the best normal translation. What does Partha say about Laxman's chart? I am not closed in this topic until the day I see the chart cast by Jagannath Hora. Can you program this feature?

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Oh Sanjay, Just today, during one of my offbeat, irreverent fits (not unusual), I thought of suggesting to this group that someone develop a software where a user can fix the positions of planets individually in rasi, navamsa and other charts for the program to calculate the date, month and year on which such a planetary formation would be possible at a given latitude and longitude !! In a roundabout kinda way, you beat me to it - all the better Warm regards, Ramapriya hubli --- Sanjay Rath <srath wrote: > ***Jaya Jagannath*** > Dear Narasimha > (a) I agree with your normal interpretation of that > stanza "swochcha > sanstheshu panchasu" as implying own/exaltation for > swochcha.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Pranaam Sanjay, > Karakamsa. Contemporary authors have used Swouccha to refer to own and > exaltation signs, but here we are refering to a time where the understanding > was very pure. I simply cannot understand how "swa" can mean "quadrants and trines from lagna". It is very very very far-fetched, though you presumptively talk of "pure" understanding. It can only mean "own" or also "lagna". Such far-fetched explanations can be accepted only if you are interpreting some cryptic aphorisms (ala Jaimini), which wasn't the case of Valmiki. > I have another version of the chart of Rama which has Mercury > in gemini and the Upapada coming to Pisces explains Sita Devi etc even > better, but then this seems absurd as Mercury cannot be so far away from the > Sun. I don't think it is absurd at all. Mercury can be ahead by upto 90 deg. If you think upapada in Pisces makes sense, that chart can be considered. > Normal present day > interpretation is what you have given, but the other interpretation is also > not incorrect. Just risen, risen, or just risen (with the implication that > the midday was the point of highest rise), after rise etc are many > interpretations and the one you give is the best normal translation. Well, I suppose "abhyudite ravau" can be translated as "with sun rising to the highest point". However I haven't seen "udita" or "abhyudita" used in such sense anywhere ever. They were always used in the normal sense of sunrise. The case is weak. Thank you for answering, but I am not completely satisfied with the explanations. Moreover, as per Parasara, Vishnu's incarnations have a raja yoga giving kendra lord and kona lord combination in Devalokamsa (both). In Pushyami, Moon cannot be in Devalokamsa. You perhaps suggest that Jupiter and Mars are in Devalokamsa instead of Moon and Jupiter. Though I argued with Partha and others that Pushyami is the lagna nakshatra, why didn't Valmiki explicitly say that it was lagna nakshatra if he was mentioning Chandra nakshatra for other three and lagna nakshatra for only Rama? I see a lot of unanswered questions. You seem to hint at the same below I think. > I am not closed in this topic until the day I see the chart cast by > Jagannath Hora. Can you program this feature? As I use an ephemeris based on NASA's latest model, it can only go upto 5400 BC. We cannot go millions of years back reliably. Even to do it approximately, we need an analytical model. I know no astrology calculations package that can go so far back. In future, I will look at it myself and try to develop an analytical model that can go upto Rama's time. This, of course, will take time. After the second book I think. Meanwhile, you can work on Sri Krishna's chart. Is the one we accepted (based on Dr. Raman's version) correct? It has no planets in Devalokamsa or even close to it. I wonder how it can be right given Parasara's clear instruction on Vishnu's incarnations. Does Sri Achyuta Dasa say anything on Krishna's chart? Why don't you do research into Krishna's horoscope before thinking of Rama's horoscope? > Best Wishes > Sanjay Rath > http://sanjayrath.tripod.com > ***Om Tat Sat*** May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha http://www.VedicAstrologer.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Pushyami, > Moon cannot be in Devalokamsa. You perhaps suggest that Jupiter and Mars are > in Devalokamsa instead of Moon and Jupiter. these are the devalokamsa positions i worked out for each planet. Mars 0 to 2'30 aries Sun 0 to 3 aries, 0 to 3 leo Moon 0 to 0'30 cancer, 1'52'30 to 2'30 cancer Venus 14'30 to 15 taurus , 0 to 0'30 libra , 1'52'30 to 3 libra Jupiter 0 to 0'30 pisces, 12 to 12'30 pisces, 13'07'30 to 15 pisces, 0 to 0'30 saggitarius, 1'30 to 1'52'30 saggitarius, 0 to 0'30 cancer, 28'07'30 to 28'30 cancer Saturn 0 to 0'30 libra, 1'30 to 2'30 libra, 12 to 12'30 libra, 0 to 0'30 aquarius so the only planets in Sri Rama's chart that can be in devalokamsa are Jupiter, Saturn, and Sun these are worked out according to D1 D2 D3 D7 D9 D10 D12 D16 D30 and D60 D2 is the standard leo or cancer configuration. depending on what type of D2 chart you take could change the results. love jaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, why did you leave Moon? Moon in Cancer can be in Devalokamsa as you also noted. So, Moon and Jupiter (lagna and 9th lords) could be the two planets in Devalokamsa. You probably did not consider Moon because you assumed that Moon is not in Punarvasu and is in Pushyami. While we should respect Sanjay ji's teaching, let us remember when searching for Devalokamsa positions that "Moon in Pushyami" is not an absolutely final thing. Sanjay himself said that he has not closed Rama's chart. > these are worked out according to D1 D2 D3 D7 D9 D10 D12 D16 D30 and > D60 > > D2 is the standard leo or cancer configuration. depending on what > type of D2 chart you take could change the results. Yep. Also, note that there may be other versions of D-30 too. Just like you checked for the Devalokamsa positions, you can do this exercise: Check for each planet if it can be in Sridhamamsa (10 out of 10) somewhere in the zodiac if you take the standard D-30 chart! > love > jaan May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Dear Narasimha Guru, thanks, youre right i just went along with the post regarding moons nakshatra so excluded it. using a standard hora chart(cancer leo) and standard D30 the only planets than can obtain Sridhamamsa are naturally moon, jupiter and sun. of these only the sun obtains Sridhamamsa between 0 to 0'30 degrees aries. i will have a go at seeing whether changing the hora chart will make a difference to obtaining Sridhamamsa but it looks unlikely as you would still need 9/10 in the remaining divisional charts. love jaan vedic astrology, "pvr108" <pvr@c...> wrote: > Dear Jaan, > > > these are the devalokamsa positions i worked out for each planet. > > > > Moon 0 to 0'30 cancer, 1'52'30 to 2'30 cancer > > > > Jupiter 0 to 0'30 pisces, 12 to 12'30 pisces, 13'07'30 to 15 > pisces, > > 0 to 0'30 saggitarius, 1'30 to 1'52'30 saggitarius, 0 > to > > 0'30 cancer, 28'07'30 to 28'30 cancer > > > > so the only planets in Sri Rama's chart that can be in devalokamsa > > are Jupiter, Saturn, and Sun > > Good job.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Dear Narasimha Guru, analysing just the 8 charts D1 D3 D7 D9 D10 D12 D16 D60, leaving out the two in question D2 and D30 only the sun and mars are able to obtain 8 out of 8 vargas, so depending on which D2 or D30 you take only the sun and mars have the potential to be in Sridhamamsa with the following positions. mars 0 to 0'30 aries sun 0 to 0'30 aries and 0 to 0'30 leo i dont know the criteria for different D2 and D30 charts, but the span of degrees is so small as to make it easy to check which ever type you use. love jaan vedic astrology, "ray1k" <kgrap@b...> wrote: > Dear Narasimha Guru, > > thanks, youre right i just went along with the post regarding moons > nakshatra so excluded it. > > using a standard hora chart(cancer leo) and standard D30 the only > planets than can obtain Sridhamamsa are naturally moon, jupiter and > sun. > > of these only the sun obtains Sridhamamsa between 0 to 0'30 degrees > aries. > > i will have a go at seeing whether changing the hora chart will make > a difference to obtaining Sridhamamsa but it looks unlikely as you > would still need 9/10 in the remaining divisional charts. > > > love > jaan > > > > > vedic astrology, "pvr108" <pvr@c...> wrote: > > Dear Jaan, > > > > > these are the devalokamsa positions i worked out for each planet. > > > > > > Moon 0 to 0'30 cancer, 1'52'30 to 2'30 cancer > > > > > > Jupiter 0 to 0'30 pisces, 12 to 12'30 pisces, 13'07'30 to 15 > > pisces, > > > 0 to 0'30 saggitarius, 1'30 to 1'52'30 saggitarius, 0 > > to > > > 0'30 cancer, 28'07'30 to 28'30 cancer > > > > > > so the only planets in Sri Rama's chart that can be in > devalokamsa > > > are Jupiter, Saturn, and Sun > > > > Good job.
