TRANSLATION OF THE SLOKA:

 

JUPITER IS STRONG IN PISCES (MEENA), SCORPIO (ALI), SAGITTARIUS (CHAPA) AND

CANCER KATAKA). HE IS ALSO STRONG IN HIS DIVISIONS (VARGA), ON THURSDAYS

(VARA), AT MID-DAY (CALLED ABHIJIT MUHURTA) AND IN THE SECOND DREKKANA

(RAASI-MADHYE). HE IS ALSO STRONG IN AQUARIUS (KUMBHE) AND CAPRICORN

(NEECHA-BHAVA OR ITS SIGN OF DEBILITY) AND IF PLACED IN THE ASCENDANT

(LAGNA) FOURTH HOUSE (SUKHA) OR TENTH HOUSE (DASAMA) THEN IT GIVES A LOT OF

WEALTH.

RATH: COMMENTS: THE REFERENCE IS TO THE CONTEXT OF JUPITER GIVING WEALTH AND

HAVING THE STRENGTH TO DO SO. THERE IS NO ERROR IN THE SLOKA. MAHARSHI

JAIMINI ALSO TEACHES " TASMIN UCCHE NEECE VA SRIMANTAH " . I.E IF A PLANET IS

EXALTED OR DEBILITATED, IT GIVES WEALTH. THUS IN THE CONTEXT OF GRANTING

WEALTH JUPITER IS CONSIDERED STRONG IN CAPRICORN, BESIDES THE OTHER POINTS.

HOWEVER FOR OTHER MATTERS JUPITER IS NOT STRONG IN ITS SIGN OF DEBILITY AND

THE FAMILY MAY HAVE TO UNDERGO A LOT OF TURMOIL AS HAPPINESS WOULD BE

LACKING.

 

APPLICATION: TAKE MY CHART FOR EXAMPLE:

 

1.JUPITER IS IN PISCES IN THE ASCENDANT AND SHALL KEEP ME ABOVE WANT.

 

2.IN THE DWADASAMSA JUPITER IS IN CAPRICORN IN DEBILITY AND MY FATHER HAS

BEEN GIVING ME A LOT OF WEALTH. HIS LATEST DESIRE IS TO GIVE ME SOME

PROPERTIES, WHICH SHOULD HAPPEN BEFOR ETHE PRESENT NARAYAN DASA OF VIRGO IS

OVER IN AUGUST.

 

3. I PREFER TO START MOST ACTIVITIES IN ABHIJIT MUHURTA WHEN JUPITER IS VERY

VERY STRONG AND BY TAKING THE NAME OF SRI JAGANNATH VISHNU.

 

4. I PREFER TO TAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS ON THURSDAYS AND SJVC WAS ALSO

STARTED ON A THURSDAY.

 

THUS IN THIS MANNER THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SLOKA CAN BE FULLY APPLIED.

 

BLESSINGS OF SRI JAGANNATH
