Allow me to share some of my understanding…. Mantra Shastra is indeed

a deep subject.

 

Reference to sacred chanting (mantra) are scattered all across the

classics.

 

A translation of BPHS is below, referencing the MahaMrityunJaya.

 

Ch. 52. Effects of the Antar Dashas in the Dasha of Sûrya

(Vimshottari)

1-3. Good effects, like acquisition of wealth and grains etc., are

derived in the Antar Dasha of Sûrya in his own Dasha, if Sûrya is

exalted, in his own Bhava, in Labh, in a Kendr, or in a Trikon.

Adverse results will be experienced, if Sûrya is debilitated, or in

an inauspicious Bhava, or Rashi. Medium effects will be realized, if

Sûrya is in other houses. If Sûrya is the Lord of Dhan, or Yuvati,

there will be danger of premature death, or death-like sufferings.

The remedial measures to be adopted are Mrityunjaya Japa, or the

worship of Sûrya (by recitation of appropriate Mantras, charity etc.).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ch. 52. Effects of the Antar Dashas in the Dasha of Sûrya

(Vimshottari)

62-64. Beneficial effects, like happiness from wife and children,

satisfaction, increase of friends, gain of clothes etc. and renown

will be derived, if Ketu is in Sahaj, Ari, Karm, or Labh.

If Ketu is Lord of Dhan, or Yuvati (or is in any of those Bhavas),

there will be danger of premature death. The remedial measures for

obtaining relief from the evil effects are recitation of Mantras of

Goddess Durga (Shat Chandi Path) and giving a goat in charity.

 

 

Ch. 54. Effects of Antar Dashas in the Dasha of Mangal

74-76. The effects, like death, distress to wife and children, loss

of lands, wealth and cattle and danger of a war etc. will be

experienced, if Candr is in his debilitation Rashi, or, if Candr is

in his enemy Rashi, or, if Candr is in Ari, in Randhr, or in Vyaya

from Lagn, or from the Lord of the Dasha. There will be the

possibility of premature death, distress to the body and mental

agony, if Candr is Dhan's, or Yuvati's Lord. The remedial measures to

be adopted to obtain relief from the above evil effects, are

recitation of Mantras of the Goddess Durga and the Goddess Lakshmi.

 

Ch. 84. Remedial Measures from the Malevolence of Grahas

17-20. The Mantras of all the Grahas and the prescribed number of

their recitation are given below. The recitation of Mantras should be

done after worshipping the Grahas, as indicated in verses 15-16. Grah

Mantra prescribed number: Sûrya 7000, Candr 11000, Mangal 11000, Budh

9000, Guru 19000, Úukr 16000, Úani 23000, Rahu 18000, Ketu 17000.

 

 

 

Ch. 88. Remedies from Birth in Bhadra and Inauspicious Yogas

1-2. The Sage said. O Brahmin! Now I am going to describe the

remedial measures for relief from the evil effects of birth in

Bhadra, Tithi Kshaya, Vyatipata, Paridha, Vajra etc. inauspicious

Yogas and Yamaghants etc. The remedial rites should be performed on

the day, when the same inauspicious Yog operates again.

3-5. The remedial rites are to be performed in the following order by

the parents of the child in the above inauspicious Yogas. Puja of

Lord Vishnu and other deities on an auspicious day and auspicious

Lagn on the advice of a proficient Jyotishi, burning of Deep with Ghî

in a Shiva temple, Abhisheka of Lord Shiva, going round a Pipal tree

108 times prolongs longevity and perform Havan with 108 oblations

along with the recital of `Vaisneh Raratmachityadhi' Mantra of Lord

Vishnu and feeding Brahmins to the best of one's means. The

observance of these remedial measures will give deliverance to the

native from all the evil effects of his inauspicious birth and he

will enjoy happiness.

 

 

Ch. 89. Remedies from Nakshatr Birth

1-7. The Sage Parasara said. O Maitreya! If the birth takes place in

the Nakshatras of the brother and the parents, death takes place,

without doubt, of the brother and the father, or mother, or they have

to undergo death-like suffering. Therefore I am going to describe the

remedial measures to be adopted to escape from these evil effects.

The remedial rites should be performed in a Muhurta, when Candr and

stars are favourable on a day, on which there is no Rikta-Bhadra

Dosha. The remedial rites should be performed in the following order.

Instal an idol of the Janm Nakshatr on a Kalash in the North-East

direction from the fire. Cover it with a red piece of cloth and then

warp two pieces of cloth round it. Worship the idol by chanting the

Mantras of the Janm Nakshatr. According to one's Gotra, perform Havan

108 times with the recitation of the same Mantra, facing the fire,

with Ghî and other Havan material. Then the priest, performing the

Puja, should sprinkle water on the parents and brother (whoever is

concerned). Give presents in cash (Dakshena) to the priest and his

colleagues, associated with the ceremony, to the best of one's means

and then feed the Brahmins to the best of one's means.
