Ashtakavarga is the strength of a planet related to 8 points (7 planets and

lagna) and

Shodasavarga are the 16 divisional charts selected by Parasara for use.

Astakavarga can be

applied for any of the divisional charts. Sodya Pindas are points arrived at by

using

different methods fo reduction in the Bhunnastakavarga chart of a planet.

The two methods of reduction are Trikona and Ekadhipat sodhana. The thus

reducted points

in the separate astakavarga chart of the planet should be multiplied by the so

called

Rasimanas and Grahamanas in a certain way. The end result will be the shodya

pindas, which

is used in different caculations and is separate for all the seven

Bhinnastakavarga

charts.

 

Yours, Gauranga das

Ashtakavarga is a scheme of taking 8 references (lagna and

7 planets) in each chart and judging the strength of each

planetary placement w.r.t. all the 8 references.

 

Shadvarga is a group of 6 divisional charts. Dasavarga is

a group of 10 divisional charts. Shodasavarga is a group

of 16 divisional charts.

 

Ashtakavarga is a method of interpreting each of those 6

or 10 or 16 or more divisional charts by taking 8

references in each chart.

 

Sodhya pindas are different. They are numbers associated

with each planet, which are useful in transits.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
