Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Pradeep, i do not think you are arguing. In the followingi only try to share what has already been discussed or written somewhere. So my word is not final! You said, Kshetra, Hora etc., is used by Parasara, which is correct. Parasara also said, 16 vargas. First varga is synonymous with Kshetra i.e. it is from 0 to 30 degree (entire span of kshetra!). So, why should it be that the remaining 15 vargas are derived from the first varga (or kshetra)? We need to ask ourselves, why he did not tell Maitreya that there are 15 vargas in a kshetra? So, he indeed meant to say 16 Vargas & not 15. Later Parasara called it as 'lagna' (lagna, hora etc.,)and explained what to see from that. Now, it also contains other characterstics, hidden,but to bring them out we need to study the respective divisional charts. Tools for the analysis (aspects)& Yogas between planets are given later on (Is it not a logical order?) Between the extrordinary intelligence of the Rishis and the advent of the powerful personal computers, we have passed through a time, when people might have become more and more specialised! You can guess why! Is it not possible that the transmission of Knowledge from Brahma to Parasara, would have happened, like the data transfer between powerful computers!! Indeed,you are trying to knock out a serious fundamental issue. If you have more questions, then i will read more BPHS. Hope this helps. regards viswanadham vedic astrology, Pradeep Kumar<vijayadas_pradeep> wrote: > Dear Vishwanatham ji > > Let me make it clear that my idea is not to argue.Pls consider this as a clarification. > You have written- ''Now, digressing a bit, Parasara presented a schema, which has 16 vargas.
