Dear Dhira,

I think there is a copy of B.Suryanarainrao's Jaimini Sutra commentary

where they are explained. I am pasting below, comments of B.Suryanarain

Rao and Dr. Raman.

B. Suryanarain Rao;

"We have in Sanskrit a sutra called Ka, Ta, Pa, Yadi. These are also

called the Vargas - Kavarga, Tavarga, Pavarga and Yavarga. Kavarga

contains Kadi Nava or nine letters commencing from Ka thus -Ka, Kha,

Ga, Gha, Jna, Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, or nine letters. Tavarga or

Tadinava-nine letters beginning with Ta-Tu, Tta, Da, Dha, Na, Tha,

Thha, Da, Dha, or the nine letters of Ta varga. Pavarga or Padi

Pancha-five letters commencing from Pa. They are Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, Ma

five letters. Yavarga yadyahrau or eight letters from Ya. They are Ya,

Ra, La, Va, Ssa. Sha, Saand Ha, for the 8 letters of Ya varga. After

having learnt these the next sutra in Sanskrit Mathematics is Ankanum

Vamato ghtihi."

Dr. Raman firther says:

" Though Suryanarain Rao has elucidated the abbreviations used by

Jaimini to imply numerals I propose to make some observations for the

benefit of the reader The system of pneumonics employed here is called

Katapayadi system. The consonants of the Sanskrit alphabet have keen

used in the place of the numbers 1-9 and zero to express number:.

There are different variant: of this system but I shall explain the

most commonly accepted method. (n) and (n) and the vowels denote

zero. · The letter: in succession beginning with Ka (), Ta (), Pa

(q) and Ya () denote the digits ; in a conjoint consonant, e.g., Kya

() only the last one denotes a number According to this system

therefore the letters ka () ta () pa C_) Ya () denotes 1. kha ()

tta (¥) pha () ra () " 2. 9a () da (s) ba () la

() " 3. gha ()

dha () bha () va () " 4. nga () na () ma

(), ssa () " 5. cha

(s) tha (_) sha () ., 6. chha () thha () sa () " 7. a

() da ()

ha () " 8. jha () dha () " 9. A right to left arrangement Is

employed in the formation of chronograms i.e., the letter denoting

units figure is first written, than follows the letter denoting the

tens figure and so

on, e.g., ra me ` 2 6- 62. Jaimini divides the figure so obtained by

12 and takes the remainder as denoting a particular sign of the

zodiac as reckoned from Mesha.

All figures in Astronomy, Inscriptions and Mathematics should be read

in the reverse order or as the Mohammedans read from right to left. The

explanations of the following sutras make these aphorisms easy to

understand. . Jaimini uses the word Argala to mean a sort of

obstruction or impediment for the free flow of planetary influences. A

planet in a certain house from any desired Bhava or signification or

planet, prevents or obstructs the progress of the influence and thereby

diminishes its value and. usefulness. These five Sutras give

explanations about these Argala. influences and obstructions and they

must be carefully treasured up. There are two varieties of Argala :

shubha or beneficial, and papa or malefic. Dara contains two Sanskrit

letters da and ra. Da according ' to Tavarga given above, represents

the 8th letter in that group and hence stands for the figure 8. Ra

represents the 2nd letter in the Yavarga, and hence stands for the

digit 2-thus we have by the word dara 82. Reading this by the above

mathematical Sutra in the reverse order we get 28. There are 12 signs

or Rasis and when 28 is divided by 12, we get 4 as the remainder.

Therefore Dara means the fourth house, representing the Argala from any

desired significance or planet. Now the peculiarity is this Dara in

Sanskrit language means wife and in general astrology, when we say Dara

or Darasthana, we signify the 7th house from Lagna for a male

horoscope. But Dara in Jaimini by the rules he has laid down means Four

and not Seven. Bhagya. By the letter interpretation process-Bha is the

fourth in the Pavarga and stands therefore for 4, Gya in Sanskrit is

composed of Ga, and Ya the letter underneath the former Ga, and in all

compound or conjoined letters the lower letter has to be taken into

account and not the upper. Thus we have here Ya, and it is the first

letter in Yavarga and stands for 1. We have therefore 41. Reading in

the reverse order we get 14 and this divided by 12 will give us a

remainder of 2. Bhagya-2. Therefore the 2nd house or planet from any

given Bhava also becomes an Argala planet or obstruction.

Sula is composed of Ssa and La. In the Vavarga, Ssa stands as the fifth

letter and represents 5. La represents the 3rd letter in Yavarga and

therefore stands for 3. We thus get the figure 53. But reading in the

reverse order we have 35, Divided by 12 we get a remainder of 11 and

therefore Sula stands for 11. Those planets which are in 4, 2 and 11

from any planet or Bhava in question or under consideration, become

classified as Argala and obstruct their influences. In Sutra 6 if many

evil planets, more than two as the plural is used, are found in Kama or

3rd house, they also then become Argala. Ka stands as in Kavarga and Ma

stands as 5 in the Pavarga. Therefore we have 15. Reading in the

reverse order we get 51. Divide this by 12 and we have the remainder 3.

Therefore Kama stands for the 3rd house. Kama in Sanskrit means Cupid,

passions, wife and desires. In the general astrological literature,

Kama means the 7th house representing husband or wife as the horoscope

may belong to a female or a male human being. But by the interpretation

by letters as directed by the author, it means the third. As it is

stated here the planets become Argala in the 3rd only when there are

more than 2 evil planets in the 3rd from the questioning planets or

Bhava. But suppose there is only one evil

planet in the 3rd house, then by

implication it does not become Argala for the planet or Bhava. In Sutra

7, Ripha means 10, Ra in Yavarga stands for 2 as it is the second

letter from Ya and Pha is the second letter .in the Pavarga and

therefore represents 2, putting together we get 22. Divide this by 12

we have a balance of 10. Neecha stands for 12. Na represents O in the

Tavarga as it stands as the 10th from Ta and therefore represents

cipher. We have only 9 Ankas or digits and the 10th shows a zero. Cha

stands as the 6th letter from Tavarga and represents 6, putting

together we have 06. Reading in the reverse order we have 60. Divided

by 12 there will be no balance, but the author asks the readers to take

always the last balance and when 60 is divided by 12 it goes four times

(48) and the last balance is 12. Therefore Neecha stands for 12. Kama,

we have already seen, means 3."

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks

or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or

acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that

never leaves him.
