Agni has been considered in the sastra as the deity who (1) takes our prayers to the gods with ‘svaha’ and to the manes (pitris) with ‘svadha’, (2) illumines the mind with spiritual and transcendental knowledge as it rules the third eye (jagat caksyu), (3) creates, maintains and dissolves the entire manifested creation (surya – trimurti svarupa), and (4) purifies the individual beings by cleaning them with spiritual heat, etc. This cleansing of individual beings or the burning of sin is the phenomena of combustion. It is evident that the combustion of different planets has different connotation. Some illustrations: Jupiter’s combustion can be understood from Varahamihira (Brihat Samhita) explains that just as gold is purified by coming through fire, so also Brihaspati (Jupiter) is purified and shines (with spiritual lustre on the thirteenth day) after its conjunction (combustion) with the Sun. This day marks the beginning of the jovian years when this combustion occurs in Krittika (or Mrigasira) naksatra or this day marks the beginning of the jovian cycle of sixty years when this combustion happens in Dhaista nakshatra. These occasion are celebrated as the Kumbha and Maha-Kumbha mela respectively every twelve years. We may conclude that the combustion of Jupiter produces spiritual shine and this combination of the Sun & Jupiter is what represents a temple or a pilgrimage and the udder of the cow, because by visiting the temple, the individual burn s his sins just like the drinking of the pure milk of a happy cow removes all diseases of the body. Technically, the combustion of Jupiter is for 12 degrees or 12 years. The combustion of the Moon can be understood from the Purana. The Moon is the greatest blessing on a girl (Venus) as she becomes a mother (Moon). The Moon does not differentiate between married or unmarried nor does it consider the leagl sanctity of the union when blessing a couple (especially woman) to become a mother. This is a fact as pregnancy can happen to any lady irrespective of whether she is married or not or whether she is uniting with a man who is her legitimate spouse. These are the two possible flaws of (1) Krisna chaturdasi dosa (sexual union without marriage) and (2) Amavasya dosa (sexual union with one who is not legitimate spouse), that cause terrible sin. This brings the curse of Ganesa & Brihaspati, as on Candra the Moon god. Thereafter, the Moon spends a day (sukla pratipada) in repentance and prayer. Thus, the effective combustio n of the Moon begins two days (24 degrees or two tithi) before its conjunction with the Sun and ends ofter one day (12 degrees or one tithi). Similarly, the combustion of Venus is to be understood as the anger of Siva (pratyadhi devatä of the Sun) on Kama devatä thereby reducing him to ashes or the swallowing of Sukra where the latter had to do penance for twenty years (20 years = 20 degrees, post conjunction or recovery period). An important noteworthy point is that the combustion before conjuction is considered very sinful meriting ‘dosa criteria’ while that after conjunction indicates a period when one is in spiritual seclusion. In this manner, the combustion of other planets can be understood. Coming to the question, the Sun is all known as ‘dvadasatmane’ and posesses twelve forms representing the spiritual soul in the twelve signs. The names of the Sun god in the twelve signs are given below, and a detailed study of these forms of the Sun shall explain the meaning implied by the combustion in a chart when the Sun is in different signs.
