Dharma Karma Dhipati Yoga

[Guest guest]

Hello Learned People,

 

I am perplexed by the DKY concept. I have not been able to grasp this Yoga in clear terms fundamentally.

I am posting few lines presented in an astrology Journal below (I think the journal is from "saptarishiastrology.com")

 

 

The Lords of Dharmasthana and Karmasthana will do much good when they are in exchange or in their own houses. Even in the other houses (i.e. in indignity also), they will confer benefits to all the individuals.

 

This verse can be treated as an extension of the earlier verse. The relationship discussed here may be ordered according to beneficence as below:

1) Exchange of 9 th and 10 th Lords

2) Both 9 th and 10 th Lords are in own signs

3) Both the 9 th and 10 th Lords are not in own signs.

Among the above three, exchange is considered as superior as the own sign disposition. In the exchange, Trinal Lord will be in the powerful angle and angular Lord will be in the powerful trine and thereby both of them are strengthened. This is not the case with own sign disposition. Because, even though the Lords are gaining dignity, the chance of Kendrathipathya Dosha cannot be ruled out for benefics as 10 th Lords. Not only that, the other house Lordship of those Lords may downsize the beneficence of them. Hence, own sign disposition is held next to exchange. Obviously, other house disposition is least beneficial among the three.

Considering its high beneficence, this yoga can safely be extended to the strongest trine (9 th ) and strongest angle (10 th ) by adopting Bhavatbhavam principle. This is what is done by both Venkatesa Daivagna as well as Kalidasa as below:

 

According to these, if the lords of 9 th and 10 th houses counted from (i) the Lagna; (ii) the 9 th ; and (iii) the 10 th be in conjunction, occupy each sign owned by the other, or occupy mutually aspecting Kendras or be associated with the Lord of the second house, the person born will be wealthy.

In the preceding verses, it was established that the association of 9 th Lord with the 10 th Lord as top Raja Yoga. Here, Thandavarayar has extended the yoga to other trinal Lords also, i.e. to association of (a) first and 10 th Lords; (b) 5 th and 10 th Lords. The author has highlighted ‘fame of the world’ to the native as effects. He has adopted the phrase ‘fame of the world’ in an appropriate sense. Because, 1 st , 5 th and 9 th houses stand for ‘Dharma Trikona’ of the individual and 2 nd , 6 th and 10 th houses stand for ‘Artha Trikona’. Among the Artha Trikona, 10 th is strongest as per ‘Prabhalashchotharotharam’ and Dharma Trikona houses are highly auspicious. When there exists any association between the Trinal Lords with Karmathipa, surely individual’s public activities are good and renowned. Therefore, naturally this yoga paves way for ‘world fame’.

i.e. if in a horoscope there is some kind of relation of the 10 th and the 9 th Lord or they have any relation with the 5 th Lord and these relation‐making planets are endowed with strength, then all the four quarters are completely filled with the echoes of the sound of the groups of elephants and horses in the army of such a king, and the Lord of the enemies is conquered by him even without making war.

In the preceding verses, the author has narrated the austerity of Trinal and Angular Lords and their inter‐relationship. Due to such high austerity, those trinal and angular Lords and the planets deposited in trines and angles are supposed to offer good results during their directional periods. Thandavarayar has utilized the word “of both”very intelligently. Because, he doesn’ express what this ‘oth’stands for, as it may convey the following two meanings:

(a) The dasas of Yoga Karaka (i.e. Kendra‐cum‐Kona Lord) and the planets deposited in the angles or/and trines.

(b) The dasas of Kendra Lords and

Kona Lords and the planets posited in the angles or/and trines.

In our view, (a) is superior to (b). But, the course of the text warrants (b) only. Readers may take according to their own intellect.

This verse loosely confers ‘Yoga Dasa’ status to all the dasas of the planets which are posited in the angular houses. This can be treated as a general rule only and should not be taken for granted. Because, negative factors such as Kendrathipathya Dosha, Other house lordship of Trishadi houses (3, 6, 8, 11), etc. should not be overlooked. Due care should be taken to confer yogadasa status to the planets, when they are deposited in angles. When the trinal lords are in angular houses, or angular lords are in trinal houses, such lords are capable of giving benefits to the individuals during their Dasas.
