Brihat Parasara Hora sastra
by
Maha-rishi Parasara
Brahma Rishi Vasishta was kul guru of
Dasharatha Maha Raja of Ramayana. Sage Vashishta had 100 sons. All of them were killed by a Rakshasa
influenced by Sage Vishwamitra. Sage Vashita could not retaliate as he was a
Brahma Rishi who has conquered anger. In grief he tired to do suicide. After
failing to end his life by many methods he came back home sadly. He heard a
small voice telling the Vedas. There he found his eldest son Shakti’s wife
Adrisyanti. His daughter-in-law was pregnant and the small child inside her was
chanting the Vedas. Parasara was born to Shakti posthumously. He performed a
great sacrifice to destroy the Rakshasas, for a Rakshasa had killed his father.
He became a Maha Rishi expert in astrology. The word Parasara means the
vivifier of the dead.
Once, while crossing a river, he calculated that a great
person could be born now. He expressed his desire to the ferry girl, but she
was reluctant. He convinced her that no blame would attach to her and that she
would regain her virginity after the act. At last she consented, on the
condition that the odor of fish that clung to her (for she had been born inside
a fish), be changed to fragnance. This girl was none other than Satyavati, who
was later married to King Shantanu.
They were united in an islet in the middle of the river.
This act was hidden from the prying eyes of the world, with the aid of a mist,
created by the yogic powers of Parasara. A son was born immediately to her.
Since this was a divine birth, the child grew to adulthood in minutes and after
promising his mother that he would return whenver she had a need for him, left
to study the scriptures with his father. This child was Vyasa, who later
composed the Mahabharata. Since he was dark and born in an island he is also
known as
I prostrate before the lotus-feet of Lord Vighneswara, offspring
of Uma, the cause of destruction of sorrow, who is served by Mahabhutas (the
five great elements of the universe) etc., who has the face of a tusker and who
consumes the essence of Kapittha and Jambu fruits. 1-4. Offering his obeisance
to all-knowing Maharishi Parasar and with folded hands, Maitreya said: “O
venerable Maharishi, Jyotish, the supreme limb of the Vedas, has three
divisions, viz. Hora, Ganita and Samhita. Among the said three divisions Hora,
or the general part of Jyotish is still more excellent. I desire to know of its
glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me, how this Universe is created?
How does it end? What is the relationship of the animals, born on this earth,
with the heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately” 5-8. Maharishi Parasar
answered. O Brahmin, your query has an auspicious purpose in it for the welfare
of the Universe. Praying Lord Brahma and Sri Sarasvati, his power (and consort)
and Surya, the leader of the Grahas and the cause of Creation, I shall proceed to
narrate to you the science of Jyotish, as heard through Lord Brahma. Only good
will follow the teaching of this Vedic Science to the students, who are
peacefully disposed, who honour the preceptors (and elders), who speak only
truth and are godfearing. Woeful forever, doubtlessly, will it be to impart
knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a heterodox and to a
crafty person. 9-12. Sri Vishnu, who is the Lord (of all matters), who
has undefiled spirit, who is endowed with the three Gunas, although he
transcends the grip of Gunas (Gunatita), who is the Author of this Universe,
who is glorious, who is the Cause and who is endowed with valour, has no
beginning. He authored the Universe and administers it with a quarter of his
power. The other three quarters of Him, filled with nectar, are knowable only
to the philosophers (of maturity). The Principal Evolver, who is both
perceptible and imperceptible in Vasudeva. The Imperceptible part of the Lord
is endowed with dual powers, while the Perceptible with triple powers. 13-15.
The three powers are Sri Shakti (Mother Lakshmi) with Sattva-Gun, Bhu Shakti
(Mother-Earth) with Rajo-Gun and Nil Shakti with Tamo-Gun. Apart from the
three, the fourth kind of Vishnu, influenced by Sri Shakti and Bhoo Shakti, assumes
the form of Shankarshan with Tamo-Gun, of Pradyumna with Rajo-Gun and of
Anirudh with Sattva-Gun. 16-17. Mahatatwa, Ahamkar and Ahamkar Murti and
Brahma, are born from Shankarshan, Pradyumna and Anirudh, respectively. All
these three forms are endowed with all the three Gunas, with predominance of
the Gun due to their origin. 18-19. Ahamkar is of three classes, i.e. with
Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic dispositions. Divine class, sensory organs and the
five primordial compounds (space, air, fire, water and earth) are,
respectively, from the said three Ahamkaras. 20. Lord Vishnu, coupled with Sri
Shakti, rules over the three worlds. Coupled with Bhoo Shakti, He is Brahma
causing the Universe. Coupled with Neel Shakti, He is Shiva, destroying the
Universe. 21-24. The Lord is in all beings and the entire Universe is in Him.
All beings contain both Jivatma and Paramatmansas. Some have predominance of
the former, while yet some have the latter in predominance. Paramatmans is
predominant in the Grahas, viz. Surya etc. and Brahma, Shiva and others. Their
powers, or consorts too have predominance of Paramatmans. Others have more of
Jivatmans.
1. Maitreya: “O Maharishi Parasar, are the incarnations of
Vishnu, viz. Sri Ram, Sri Krishn etc., endowed with Jivans? 2. Maharishi
Parashar: “O Brahmin, the four incarnations, viz. Ram, Krishn, Narasimh and
Varah are wholly with Paramatmans. The other incarnations (than these, out of
the ten) have in them Jivans too. 3-4. The unborn Lord has many incarnations.
He has incarnated, as the 9 (Nava) Grahas to bestow on the living beings the
results due to their Karmas. He is Janardan. He assumed the auspicious form of
Grahas to destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine beings. 5-7.
From Surya the incarnation of Ram, from Candr that of Krishn, from Mangal that
of Narasimh, from Budh that of Buddha, from Guru that of Vaman, from Sukr that
of Parashuram, from Sani that of Kurma (Tortoise), from Rahu that of Varah
(Pig) and from Ketu that of Meen (Fish) occurred. All other incarnations than
these also are through the Grahas. The beings with more Paramatmans are called
divine beings. 8-13. The beings with more Jivatmans are (mortal) beings. The
high degree of Paramatmans from the Grahas, viz. Surya etc. did incarnate, as
Ram, Krishn etc. After completing the mission, the Paramatmansas (of the
respective) Grahas again merge (in the respective) Grahas. The Jivatma portions
from the Grahas take births, as human beings and live their lives according to
their Karmas and again merge in the Grahas. And at the time of Great
Destruction the Grahas as well merge in Lord Vishnu. The one, who knows of all
these, will become versed in the knowledge of the past, present and future.
Without a knowledge of Jyotish these cannot be known. Hence, everyone should
have a knowledge of Jyotish, particularly the Brahmin. The one, who, devoid of
knowledge of Jyotish, blames this Vedic Science will go to the hell called
‘Raurava’ and will be reborn blind.
1. Maitreya: “O Maharishi, you have affectionately explained
about the incarnations of Grahas. Now kindly detail their characters and
dispositions. 2-3. Parasar: “O Brahmin, listen to the account of placement of
the heavenly bodies. Out of the many luminous bodies sighted in the skies some
are stars, yet some are Grahas. Those, that have no movements, are the
Nakshatras (asterisms). 4-6. Those are called ‘Grahas’, that move through the
Nakshatras (or stellar mansions) in the zodiac. The said zodiac comprises of 27
Nakshatras commencing from Ashvini. The same area is divided in 12 parts equal
to 12 ‘Rashis’ commencing from Mesh. The names of the Grahas commence from
Surya. The Rashi rising is known, as ‘Lagn’. Based on Lagn and the Grahas,
joining and departing from each other, the native’s good and bad effects are
deducted. Addition from Santhanam till Sloka 7. The names of the 27 Nakshatras
are Ashvini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya,
Aslesha, Magha, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishaka,
Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Purvashadh, Uttarashadh, Shravana, Dhanishtha,
Satabhisha, Purvabhadra, Uttarabhadra, Revati. Lagn is a very important point
in the horoscope. It is the Rashi, that rises in the East, on the latitude of
birth. The apparent rising of a Rashi is due to the rotation of the earth on
its own axis at a rate of motion, causing every degree of the zodiac seemingly
ascend on the eastern horizon. Approximately, two hours are required for a
Rashi to pass via the horizon, thereby every degree taking four minutes to
ascend. This duration, however, is actually dependent on the concerned
latitude. Actually Surya has no motion. His motion is an apparent one, as
viewed from the rotating earth. Other Grahas, including the nodes, have varied
rates of motion. The average daily motions of the Grahas, which are not,
however standard, are, as follows: Surya 1, Candr 13-15, Mangal 30-45’, Budh
65-100’, Sukr 62-82’, Guru 5-15’, Sani 2’, Rahu/Ketu 3’. With such different
motions, a Grah forms various Drishtis with others. These Drishtis through
longitudinal distances have a great deal of utility in Jyotish. This is what
Maharishi Parashar suggests to be considered. 7. Details (of astronomical nature)
of stars have to be understood by general rules, while I narrate to you about
the effects of Grahas and Rashis. 8-9. The positions of the Grahas for a given
time be taken, as per Drikganit. And with the help of Rashi durations,
applicable to the respective places, Lagn at birth should be known. Now, I tell
you about the castes, descriptions and dispositions of the Grahas. 10. Names of
Grahas. The names of the nine Grahas, respectively, are Surya, Candr, Mangal,
Budh, Guru, Sukr, Sani, Rahu and Ketu. 11. Benefics and Malefics. Among these,
Surya, Sani, Mangal, decreasing Candr, Rahu and Ketu (the ascending and the
descending nodes of Candr) are malefics, while the rest are benefics. Budh,
however, is a malefic, if he joins a malefic. Addition from Santhanam till
Sloka 12-13. When Candr is ahead of Surya, but within 120, she has medium
strength. Between 120 to 240 she is very auspicious,( see ‘Atishubhapred’).
From 240 to 0 she is bereft of strength. This is Yavanas’ view, vide P. 70 of
my English Translation of Saravali. This view is, however, related to Candr’s
strength, or otherwise, while waning Candr (Krishna Paksh, dark half) is a
malefic and waxing Candr (Shukla Paksh, bright half) is a benefic. Should Candr
be Yuti with a benefic, or receiving a Drishti from a benefic, she turns a
benefic, even if in a waning state. As regards Budh, we have clear instructions
from Maharishi Parashar, that he becomes a malefic, if he joins a malefic. If
waning Candr and Budh are together, both are benefics. 12-13. Grah governances.
Surya is the soul of all. Candr is the mind. Mangal is one’s strength. Budh is
speech-giver, while Guru confers Knowledge and happiness. Sukr governs semen
(potency), while Sani denotes grief. 14-15. Grah cabinet. Of royal status are
Surya and Candr, while Mangal is the Army chief. Prince-apparent is Budh. The
ministerial Grahas are Guru and Sukr. Sani is a servant. Rahu and Ketu form the
Grah Army. 16-17. Complexions of Grahas. Surya is blood-red. Candr is tawny.
Mangal, who is not very tall is blood-red, while Budh’s hue is akin to that of
green grass. Tawny, variegated and dark are Guru, Sukr and Sani in their order.
18. Deities of Grahas. Fire (Agni) (?), Water (Varuna), Subrahmanya (Lord
Shiva’s son, following Ganesh), Maha Vishnu, Indra, Shachi Devi (the consort of
Lord Indra) and Brahma (?) are the presiding deities of the 7 Grahas in their
order. 19. Gender of the Grahas. Budh and Sani are neuters. Candr and Sukr are
females, while Surya, Mangal and Guru are males. 20. Primordial compounds. The
Panchabhutas, space, air, fire, water and earth, are, respectively, governed by
Guru, Sani, Mangal, Sukr and Budh. 21. Castes of Grahas. Guru and Sukr are
Brahmins. Surya is a royal Grah, while Candr and Budh belong to commercial
community. Sani rules the Sudras (4th caste). 22. Sattvic Grahas are the
luminaries and Guru, Sukr and Budh are Rajasik, while Mangal and Sani are
Tamasic. 23. Description of Surya. Surya’s eyes are honey-coloured. He has a
square body. He is of clean habits, bilious, intelligent and has limited hair
(on his head). 24. Description of Candr. Candr is very windy and phlegmatic.
She is learned and has a round body. She has auspicious looks and sweet speech,
is fickle-minded and very lustful. 25. Description of Mangal. Mangal has blood-red
eyes, is fickle-minded, liberal, bilious, given to anger and has thin waist and
thin physique. 26. Description of Budh. Budh is endowed with an attractive
physique and the capacity to use words with many meanings. He is fond of jokes.
He has a mix of all the three humours. 27. Description of Guru. Guru has a big
body, tawny hair and tawny eyes, is phlegmatic, intelligent and learned in
Shastras. 28. Description of Sukr. Sukr is charming, has a splendourous
physique, is excellent, or great in disposition, has charming eyes, is a poet,
is phlegmatic and windy and has curly hair. 29. Description of Sani. Sani has
an emaciated and long physique, has tawny eyes, is windy in temperament, has
big teeth, is indolent and lame and has coarse hair. 30. Description of Rahu
and Ketu. Rahu has smoky appearance with a blue mix physique. He resides in
forests and is horrible. He is windy in temperament and is intelligent. Ketu is
akin to Rahu. 31. Primary ingredients (or Sapth Dhatus). Bones, blood, marrow,
skin, fat, semen and muscles are, respectively, denoted by the Grahas: Surya,
Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr and Sani. 32. Abodes of the Grahas.
1-2. Importance of Hora. The word Hora is derived from
Ahoratr after dropping the first and last syllables. Thus Hora (Lagnas) remains
in between Ahoratr (i.e. day and night) and after knowing Hora the good and bad
effects of a native be known. Sri Vishnu, the Invisible is Time personified.
His limbs are the 12 Rashis, commencing from Mesh. 3. Names of Rashis. The 12
Rashis of the zodiac in order are Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Kark, Simh, Kanya,
1. Oh excellent of the Brahmins, I explain below again some
special Lagnas, viz. Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn and Ghati Lagn. 2-3. Bhava Lagn.
From sunrise to the time of birth every 5 Ghatis (or 120 minutes) constitute
one Bhava Lagn. Divide the time of birth (in Ghatis, Vighatis etc.) from
sunrise by 5 and add the quotient etc. to Surya’s longitude, as at sunrise.
This is called Bhava Lagn. 4-5. Hora Lagn. Again from sunrise till the time of
birth Hora Lagn repeats itself every 2½ Ghatis (i. e. 60 minutes). Divide the
time past up to birth from sunrise by 2½ and add the quotient etc. in Rashis,
degrees and so on to the longitude of Surya, as at the sunrise. This will yield
Hora Lagn in Rashi, degrees etc. 6-8. Ghati Lagn (Ghatik Lagn). Now listen to
the method of working out Ghati Lagn. This Lagn changes along with every Ghati
(24 minutes) from the sunrise. Note birth time in Ghatis and Vighatis. Consider
the number of Ghatis past, as number of Rashis, or Ghati Lagnas. The Vighatis
be divided by 2 to arrive at degrees and minutes of arc, past in the said Ghati
Lagn. The product so arrived in Rashis, degrees and minutes be added to Surya’s
longitude, as at sunrise, to get the exact location of Ghati Lagn. So say
Maharishis, like Narada. 9. Use of Special Lagnas. Keeping the Grahas at birth,
as it is, prepare various Bhava Kundalis with respect to each special Lagn and
analyze, as done for the natal Lagn. 10-13½. Varnad Dasha. I now detail Varnad
Dasha, just by knowing which one can deal with the longevity of a native. If
the natal Lagn is an odd Rashi, count directly from Mesh to natal Lagn. If the
natal Lagn is an even Rashi, count from Meen to the natal Lagn in the reverse
order. Similarly, if the Hora Lagn is an odd one, count from Mesh to Hora Lagn
in direct order. If the Hora Lagn is an even one, count from Meen to Hora Lagn
in the reverse order. If both the products are odd Rashis, or even Rashis, then
add both the figures. If one is odd and the other is even, then know the
difference between the two products. If the latest product in this process is
an odd one, count so many Rashis from Mesh in a direct manner; if an even one,
count so many Rashis from Meen in reverse order. The Rashi so known will be the
Varnad for Lagn. 14-15. Effects of Varnad. Now listen to the use of the above.
Out of the two, viz. natal Lagn and Hora Lagn, whichever is stronger, from
there Varnad starts. If the natal Lagn is an odd Rashi, the counting of Dashas
is clockwise, otherwise anticlockwise. Lagn Dasha years will equal the number
of Rashis, intervening between the natal Lagn and Varnad. Similarly for other
Bhavas. 16-20. Effects of Varnad (cont.). Should a Kon from Lagn’s Varnad be
occupied, or drishtied by a malefic, the native will live only up to the Dasha
of the said Rashi. Just, as the Rudra Grah in Sool Dasha is capable of causing
evils, the above-mentioned Grahas related to Varnad’s Kon be treated. The
Varnad Lagn be considered, as natal Lagn, while the 7th from Varnad will denote
the longevity of the spouse, the 11th longevity of elder brothers and sisters,
the 3rd longevity of younger brothers and sisters, the 5th the longevity of
sons, the 4th longevity of mother and the 9th longevity of father. The Dasha of
the Sool Rashi will inflict greater evils. 21-24. Effects of Varnad (cont.).
Similar assessments be made with reference to the Varnad of each Bhava, commencing
the first, and the evils and goods due to a nativity be known. These Varnad
Dashas are only for Bhavas (Rashis) and not their occupants. The sub period of
each Dasha will be one twelfth of the Dasha and the order will also be
clockwise, or anti-clockwise, as explained earlier. The natal Lagn is to be
calculated according to birth place, while Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn etc. are
common to all places
1. O Maharishi Parasar, I have known from you about the
Grahas, Rashis and their descriptions. I desire to know the details of various
divisions of a Rashi, will you please narrate. 2-4. Names of the 16 Vargas.
Lord Brahma has described 16 kinds of Vargas (Divisions) for each Rashi. Listen
to those. The names are Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Chaturthans, Saptans, Navans,
Dashans, Dvadashans, Shodashans, Vimshans, Chaturvimshans, Saptavimshans,
Trimshans, Khavedans, Akshavedans and Shashtians. 5-6. Rashi and Hora. The
Rashi, owned by a Grah, is called its Kshetra. The first half of an odd Rashi
is the Hora, ruled by Surya. While the second half is the Hora of Candr. The
reverse is true in the case of an even Rashi. Half of a Rashi is called Hora.
These are totally 24, counted from Mesh and repeated twice (at the rate of 12)
in the whole of the zodiac. 7-8. Dreshkan. One third of a Rashi is called
Dreshkan. These are totally 36, counted from Mesh, repeating thrice at the rate
of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashis from a Rashi are its three
Dreshkanas and are, respectively, lorded by Narada, Agasthya and Durvash. 9.
Chaturthans. The Lords of the 4 Kendras from a Rashi are the rulers of
respective Chaturthans of a Rashi, commencing from Mesh. Each Chaturthans is
one fourth of a Rashi. The deities, respectively, are Sanak, Sanand, Kumar and
Sanatan. 10-11. Saptans. The Saptans (one seventh of a Rashi) counting
commences from the same Rashi in the case of an odd Rashi. It is from the
seventh Rashi thereof, while an even Rashi is considered. The names of the
seven divisions in odd Rashis are Kshaar Ksheer, Dadhi, Ghrith, Ikshu, Ras,
Madhya and Suddh Jal. These designations are reversed for an even Rashi. 12.
Navans. The Navans calculation are for a Movable Rashi from there itself, for a
Fixed Rashi from the 9th thereof and for a Dual Rashi from the 5th thereof.
They go by designations Deva (divine), Manushya (human) and Rakshasa (devilish)
in a successive and repetitive order for a Movable Rashi. (Manushya, Rakshasa
and Deva are the order for a Fixed Rashi, while Rakshasa, Manushya and Deva are
a Dual Rashi’s order) 13-14. Dashans. Starting from the same Rashi for an odd
Rashi and from the 9th with reference to an even Rashi, the 10 Dashansas, each
of 3 degrees, are reckoned. These are presided over by the ten rulers of the cardinal
directions, viz. Indra, Agni, Yama, Rakshasa, Varuna, Vayu, Kuber, Isan, Brahma
and Ananth in case of an odd Rashi. It is in the reverse order, that these
presiding deities are reckoned, when an even Rashi is given. 15. Dvadashans.
The reckoning of the Dvadashans (one twelfth of a Rashi, or 2½ degrees each)
commences from the same Rashi. In each Rashi the presidentship repeats thrice
in the order of Ganesh, Ashvini Kumar, Yama and Sarpa for the 12 Dvadashansas.
16. Shodashans (or Kalans). Starting from Mesh for a Movable Rashi, from Simh
for a Fixed Rashi and from Dhanu for a Dual Rashi, the 16 Shodashansas (16th
part of a Rashi, i.e. of 1°52’30”) are regularly distributed. The presiding
deities of these repeat in the order Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Surya four times
in the case of an odd Rashi. It is reverse in the case of an even Rashi, that
these ruling deities are understood. 17-21. Vimshans. From Mesh for a Movable
Rashi, from Dhanu for a Fixed Rashi and from Simh for a Common Rashi: this is
how the calculations of Vimshansas (1/20th of a Rashi, or 1°30’ each) are to
commence. The presiding deities of the 20 Vimshansas in an odd Rashi are,
respectively: Kali, Gauri, Jaya, Lakshmi, Vijaya, Vimal, Sati,
1-8. Use of the 16 Divisions. Now I will explain the use of
these sixteen divisions. The physique from Lagn, wealth from Hora, happiness
through co-born from Dreshkan, fortunes from Chaturthans, sons and grandsons
from Saptans, spouse from Navans, power (and position) from Dashans, parents
from Dvadashans, benefits and adversities through conveyances from Shodashans,
worship from Vimshans, learning from Chaturvimshans, strength and weakness from
Saptavimshans, evil effects from Trimshans, auspicious and inauspicious effects
from Khavedans and all indications from both Akshavedans and Shashtians: these
are the considerations to be made through the respective Vargas. The Bhava,
whose Lord is in a malefic Shashtians, will diminish; so say Garga and others.
The Bhava, whose Lord is in a benefic Shodashans, flourish. This is how the 16
Vargas are to be evaluated. 9-12. After assessing the 20 point strength of the
ascending degree, of other Bhavas and of the Grahas, the good and bad effects
be declared. I explain below the method of knowing the Vimsopak strength (20
point strength), just by knowing which an idea of the results of actions of
this birth and of former birth will clearly emerge. The Grahas from Surya on
get full strength, when in exaltation, or in own Rashi and are bereft of
strength, when in the 7th (from exaltation). In between the strength be known
by the rule of three process. In the case of a Grah, owning two Rashis,
distinction of placement in odd/even Rashi identical with own Rashi be made.
13-16. Hora, Dreshkan and Trimshans Effects. Guru, Surya and Mangal give
(pronounced) effects in the Hora of Surya. Candr, Sukr and Sani do so, when in
Candr’s Horas; Budh is effective in both the Horas. In the case of an even
Rashi the Hora of Candr will be powerful in effects, while Surya’s Hora in an
odd Rashi will be so. Full, medium and nil will be the effects, respectively,
in the beginning middle and the end of a Hora. Similar applications be made for
a Dreshkan, Turyans, Navans etc. As for Trimshans effects, Surya is akin to
Mangal and Candr is akin to Sukr. The effects, applicable to Rashi, will apply
to Trimshans. 17-19. Vimshopak Bal. The Shad Vargas consist of Rashi, Hora,
Dreshkan, Navans, Dvadashans and Trimshans. The full Bal for each of the
divisions, respectively, are 6, 2, 4, 5, 2 and 1. This is the Vimshopak Bal,
relating to Shad Varg division. Adding the Saptans to the Shad Vargas, we get
Sapt Varg, the Vimshopak Bal for which is 5, 2, 3, 2½, 4½, 2 and 1. These are
gross strengths, while subtle ones should be understood by exact positions. 20.
Add Dashans, Shodashans and Shashtians to the said Sapt Varg Divisions to get
the scheme of Dasha Varg. The Vimshopak Bal in this context is 3 for Rashi, 5
for Shashtians and for the other 8 divisions 1½ each. 21-25. When the 16
divisions (Shodash Varg Scheme) are considered together, the Vimshopak score
goes thus: Hora 1, Trimsans 1, Dreshkan 1, Shodashans 2, Navans 3, Rashi 3½,
Shashtians 4 and the rest of the nine divisions each a half. The Vimshopak Bal
remains as 20, only when the Grah is in own Bhava Vargas. Otherwise, the total
strength from 20 declines to 18 in Pramudit Vargas, to 15 in Shant Vargas, to
10 in Svasth divisions, to 7 in Duhkhit Vargas and to 5 in Khal Vargas. (These
figures are called Varg Vishwa) 26-27. Vimshopak Proportional Evaluation.
Multiply the figure due to full strength for the division by the Varg Vishwa
and divide by 20 to get the exact strength of the Grah. If the total is below
5, the Grah will not be capable of giving auspicious results. If it is above 5,
but below 10, the Grah will yield some good effects. Later on up to 15 it is
indicative of mediocre effect. A Grah with above 15 will yield wholly
favourable effects. 28-29. Other Sources of Strength. Maitreya, there are other
kinds of sources, as I explain below. Grahas in the 7th from Surya will be
fully effective. One with an identical longitude in comparison to Surya’s will
destroy the good effects. Rule of three process be applied to the Grah in
between these positions. 30-32. Dasha effects with Vimshopak Bal. Maitreya,
after assessing the Vimshopak Bal through the various divisions, the rising and
setting of the Grahas be considered. The Vimshopak Bal is classified under
Purna, AtiPurna, Madhya, AtiMadhya, Heen, AtiHeen, Swalpa and AtiSwalp. Thus
should be classified the Vimshopak Bal and the Dasha period results declared
accordingly. 33-36. Kendras, Konas etc. defined. O Maitreya, listen to other
matters, which I am explaining. The Kendras are specially known, as Lagn (the
ascendent), Bandhu Bhava, Yuvati Bhava (the descendant) and Karm Bhava
(mid-heaven). Dhan, Putr, Randhr and Labh Bhava are Panapharas (succedents),
while Sahaj, Ari, Dharm and Vyaya Bhava are called Apoklimas (cadents). Putr
and Dharm Bhava are known by the name Kon (or trine). Evil Bhavas, or Dusthan
Bhavas are Ari, Randhr and Vyaya Bhava. Chaturasras are Bandhu and Randhr
Bhava. Sahaj, Ari, Karm and Labh Bhava are Upachaya Bhavas. 37-38. Names of
Bhavas. Thanu, Dhan, Sahaj, Bandhu, Putr, Ari, Yuvati, Randhr, Dharm, Karma,
Labh and Vyaya are in order the names of Bhavas. I explained these briefly and
leave it to you to grasp more, according to your intelligence. As delivered by
Lord Brahma, some further information is added thus (i.e. in the following
verses). 39-43. Indications from Bhavas. Dharm Bhava and the 9th from Surya
deal with one’s father. Whatever effects are to be known from the Karm and Labh
Bhava, be also known from similar Bhavas, counted from Surya. Whatever results
are to be known from Bandhu, Tanu, Dhan, Labh and Dharm should also be known
from the 4th of Candr, from Kark Rashi itself and from the 2nd, 11th and 9th
from Candr, respectively. Whatever has to be known through Sahaj Bhava, be also
analyzed through the 3rd from Mangal. The 6th from Budh be also considered in
regard to indications, derivable from Ari Bhava. The 5th from Guru, the 7th
from Sukr and both the 8th and 12th from Sani stand for consideration,
respectively, in respect of offspring, spouse and death. The Lord of the Bhava
is equally important, when estimating the indications of a particular Bhava.
1-3. Rashi Drishtis. O Maitreya, now detailed are the
Drishtis, emanating from the Rashi Mesh etc. Every Movable Rashi drishties the
3 Fixed Rashis, leaving the Fixed Rashi adjacent to it. Every Fixed Rashi gives
Drishti to the 3 Movable Rashis, barring the adjacent Movable Rashi. And a
Common Rashi gives a Drishti to the other three Common Rashis. The Grah in a
Rashi gives the same Drishti, as the Rashi (in which the Grah is) does. 4-5.
Dristhis of the Grahas. A Grah in a Movable Rashi gives a Drishti to the other
3 Fixed Rashis, leaving the Fixed Rashi next to it. A Grah in a Fixed Rashi
does not give a Drishti to the next Movable Rashi, but the remaining 3 Movable
Rashis. The one in a Common Rashi gives a Drishti to the remaining 3 Common
Rashis. Simultaneously a Grah in the Rashi, that receives a Drishti, is also
subjected to the Drishti concerned. 6-9. Diagram of Dristhis. As depicted by
Lord Brahma, I now narrate the diagram of Drishtis, so that Drishtis are easily
understood by a mere sight of the diagram. Draw a square, or a circle marking
the 8 directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof). Mark the zodiacal Rashis,
as under: Mesh and Vrishabh in East, Mithun in the North-East, Kark and Simh in
the North, Kanya in the North-West, Tula and Vrischik in the West, Dhanu in the
South-West, Makar and Kumbh in the South and Meen in the South-East. Addition
Santhanam till
1. O Brahmin, first of all estimate the evils and checking
factors thereof through Lagn and then declare the effects of the 12 Bhavas. 2.
Evils, causing premature end, exist up to the 24th year of one’s age. As such,
no definite calculation of life span should be made till such year of age. 3-6.
Short-life Combinations (up to Sloka 23). Should Candr be in Ari, Randhr, or
Vyaya Bhava and receives a Drishti from a malefic, the child will die soon. If
in the process there be a Drishti from a benefic, it may live up to 8. If a
benefic is retrograde in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, receiving a Drishti from
a malefic, death will occur within a month of birth. This is true, only when
Lagn is not occupied by a benefic. Should Putr Bhava be occupied by Sani,
Mangal and Surya jointly, (early) death of mother and brother will come to
pass. Mangal, placed in Tanu, or in Randhr Bhava and be yuti with Sani, or
Surya, or receiving a Drishti from a malefic, being bereft of a Drishti from a
benefic, will prove a source of (immediate) death. 7-11. If Sani and Mangal
give a Drishti to Lagn, as the luminaries are yuti with Rahu (elsewhere), the
child will live a fortnight. Immediate death of the child along with its mother
will occur, if Sani is in Karm Bhava, Candr in Ari Bhava and Mangal in Yuvati
Bhava. One will immediately go to the abode of Yama, if Sani is in Tanu Bhava,
while Candr and Guru are in their order in Randhr and Sahaj Bhava. Only a month
will be the span of one’s life, who had Surya in Dharm Bhava, Mangal in Yuvati
Bhava and Guru and Sukr in Labh Bhava. All Grahas (any Grah) in Vyaya Bhava
will be the source of a short life, specifically the luminaries, Sukr and Rahu.
But the Drishti of these four Grahas (on Vyaya Bhava) will counteract such
evils. 12. Candr is capable of causing early end, if she is with a malefic in
Yuvati, Randhr, or Tanu Bhava and unrelated to a benefic. 13. Early death will
come to pass, if there be a birth in the morning, or evening junctions, or in a
Hora, ruled by Candr, or in Gandanta, while Candr and malefics occupy Kendras
from Lagn. 14. Definition of Sandhya. 3 Ghatis before the sight of the semi
disc (half) of the rising Surya and a similar duration, following Surya’s set,
are called, as morning twilight and evening twilight, respectively. 15. Early
Death. Should all the malefics be in the oriental half, while benefics are in
the occidental half, early death of one born in Vrischik, will follow. In this
case there is no need of any rethinking. 16. Malefic in Vyaya and Ari Bhava, or
in Randhr and Dhan Bhava, while Lagn is hemmed between other malefics, will
bring early death. 17. Malefics, occupying Tanu and Yuvati Bhava, while Candr
is yuti with a malefic with no relief from a benefic, will also cause premature
death. 18. Early death will be inflicted on the native, if decreasing Candr is
in Tanu Bhava, while malefics capture Randhr Bhava and a Kendra. There is no
doubt about that. 19. Candr in Tanu, Randhr, Vyaya, or Yuvati Bhava and hemmed
between malefics will confer premature death. 20. Should Candr be in Tanu
Bhava, hemmed between malefics, while Yuvati, or Randhr Bhava has a malefic in
it, he will face immediate death along with his mother. 21. Should Sani, Surya
and Mangal be in Vyaya, Dharm and Randhr Bhava without Drishti from a benefic,
the child will face instant death. 22. With a malefic in Yuvati Bhava, or in
the rising Dreshkan, while decreasing Candr is in Tanu Bhava, death be
experienced early. 23. The life span of the child will be either 2 months, or 6
months only, if all Grahas devoid of strength are relegated to Apoklima Bhavas.
24. Evils to Mother (up to Sloka 33). The mother of the native will incur evils
(will die soon), if Candr at birth receives a Drishti from three malefics.
Benefics, giving a Drishti to Candr, will bring good to the mother. 25. Should
Dhan Bhava be occupied by Rahu, Budh, Sukr, Surya and Sani, the child’s birth
has been after its father’s death, while even the mother will face early death.
26. If Candr is in the 7th, or the 8th from a malefic, be herself with a
malefic and receives a Drishti from a strong malefic, predict mothers end to be
early. 27. The child will not live on mother’s milk, but on that of she-goat,
if Surya is exalted, or debilitated in Yuvati Bhava. 28. Should a malefic be in
the 4th, identical with an inimical Rashi, counted from Candr, while there is
no benefic in a Kendra, the child will lose its mother in a premature manner.
29. Malefics in Ari and Vyaya Bhava will bring evils to mother. The child’s
father will receive similar effects, if Bandhu and Karm Bhava are captured by
malefics. 30. Budh in Dhan Bhava, while malefics occupy Tanu and Vyaya Bhava:
this Yoga will destroy the entire family. 31. Guru, Sani and Rahu,
respectively, posited in Tanu, Dhan and Sahaj Bhava will cause mother’s death
early. 32. Doubtlessly the mother will give up the child, if it has malefics in
Konas, counted from the decreasing Candr. No benefic shall be yuti with the
said malefics. 33. If Mangal and Sani are together in a Kendra with reference
to Candr and occupy one and the same Navans, the child will have two mothers.
Yet it will be short-lived. 34. Evil to Father (up to Sloka 42). One’s father
will incur early death, if Sani, Mangal and Candr in their orders are in Tanu,
Yuvati and Ari Bhava. 35. The native will at the time of his marriage lose his
father, if Guru is in Tanu Bhava, while Sani, Surya, Mangal and Budh are
together in Dhan Bhava. 36. Early loss of father will take place, if Surya is
with a malefic, or is hemmed between malefics, as there is another malefic in
the 7th from Surya. 37. Remote will be the possibility of one’s father
sustaining, if Surya is in Yuvati, while Mangal is in Karm and Rahu is in Vyaya
Bhava. 38. Early and troubled will be one’s father’s death, if Mangal is in
Karm Bhava identical with his enemy’s Rashi. 39. Candr in Ari Bhava, Sani in
Tanu Bhava and Mangal in Yuvati Bhava: this array of heavenly bodies at birth
will not ensure a long span of life for the father. 40. If Surya receives a
Drishti from Sani and be in Mesh, or in Vrischik Navans, the father would have
given up the family before birth of the child, or would have passed away. 41.
If Bandhu, Karm and Vyaya Bhava are all occupied by malefics, both the parents
will leave the child to its own fate and wander from place to place. 42. The
father will not see the native till his (the native’s) 23rd year, if Rahu and
Guru are together in an inimical Rashi identical with Tanu, or Bandhu Bhava.
43-45. Parents. Surya is the indicator of father for all beings, while the
mother is indicated by Candr. Should Surya receive a Drishti from one, or more
malefics, or be hemmed between them, this will cause evils to father. Similarly
Candr be considered in respect of mother. Malefics in the 6th, the 8th, or the
4th from Surya will bring inauspicious results about the father. Malefics in
such places from Candr will be adverse for the mother. The strength, or
otherwise of the occupants concerned be suitably estimated.
1. Those are the evils (due to a native). I now narrate the
antidotes for such evils as well, which will be helpful to assess the extent of
inauspiciousness. 2. Should one among Budh, Guru and Sukr be in an angle from
Lagn, all evils are destroyed, as Surya eliminates darkness. 3. Just as a
single reverential obeisance before Lord Shiva, the Trident holder frees one
from all sins, a single, but strong Guru in Lagn will ward off all the evils.
4. Lagn Lord is singly capable of counteracting all evils, if he is strongly
placed in an angle, just as Lord Shiva, the holder of the Bow destroyed the
three cities, built of gold, silver and iron for the demons by Maya. 5. All
evils are destroyed, if a benefic drishties Lagn of one born during the night
in the bright half. Similarly a malefic’s Drishti on Lagn of one born during
day time in the dark half. 6. Surya in Vyaya will confer a hundred-year life
span on one born in Tul Lagn. 7. It will prove auspicious for the mother as
well as the native, if Mangal joins, or is drishtied by Guru. 8. If malefics
are surrounded by benefics, while angles, or trines are themselves
benefic-occupied, evils disappear soon. Not only this, evils will not follow
from the Bhavas concerned.
Ch. 11. Judgement of Bhavas
1. O Maharishi Parashar, I have come to know of the evils
and antidotes thereof from you. Please tell me, what is to be deduced from each
Bhava. 2. Indications of Tanu Bhava. Maharishi Parashar replies. Physique,
appearance, intellect (or the organ of intelligence, i.e. brain), complexion of
the body, vigour, weakness, happiness, grief and innate nature are all to be
guessed through the ascending Rashi. 3. Indications of Dhan Bhava. Wealth,
grains (food etc.), family, death, enemies, metals, precious stones etc. are to
be understood through Dhan Bhava. 4. Indications of Sahaj Bhava. From Sahaj
Bhava know of the following: valour, servants (attending etc.), brothers,
sisters etc., initiatory instructions (Upadesh), journey and parent’s death. 5.
Indications of Bandhu Bhava. Conveyances, relatives, mother, happiness,
treasure, lands and buildings are to be consulted through Bandhu Bhava. 6.
Indications of Putr Bhava. The learned should deduce from Putr Bhava amulets,
sacred spells, learning, knowledge, sons, royalty (or authority), fall of
position etc. 7. Indications of Ari Bhava. Maternal uncle, doubts about death,
enemies, ulcers, step-mother etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava. 8.
Indications of Yuvati Bhava. Wife, travel, trade, loss of sight, death etc. be
known from Yuvati Bhava. 9. Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates
longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead and things, that have
happened and are to happen (in the past and future births). 10. Indications of
Dharm Bhava. Fortunes, wife’s brother, religion, brother’s wife, visits to
shrines etc. be known from Dharm Bhava. 11. Indications of Karm Bhava. Royalty
(authority), place, profession (livelihood), honour, father, living in foreign
lands and debts are to be understood from Karm Bhava. 12. Indications of Labh Bhava.
All articles, son’s wife, income, prosperity, quadrupeds etc. are to be
understood from Labh Bhava. 13. Indications of Vyaya Bhava. From Vyaya Bhava,
one can know about expenses, history of enemies, one’s own death etc. 14-16.
Prosperity, or Annihilation of a Bhava. Predict prosperity of the Bhava, which
is yuti with, or drishtied by a benefic. Also, when its Lord is in Yuvavastha,
or Prabuddhavastha, or in Kismaravastha, or in Karm Bhava, the Bhavas
well-being is indicated. The Bhava, which is not drishtied by its Lord, or,
whose Lord is with a malefic Grah, or with one of the Lords of evil and such
other Bhavas (i.e. 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th and 12th), or is defeated in a war
between Grahas, or is in one of the three Avasthas, viz, Vriddhavastha, Mritavastha
and Suptavastha.
Ch. 12. Effects of Tanu Bhava
1-2. Physical comforts. Should Lagn Lord be yuti with a
malefic, or be in Randhr, 6th, or 12th, physical felicity will diminish. If he
is in an angle, or trine there will be at all times comforts of the body. If
Lagn Lord is in debilitation, combustion, or enemy’s Rashi, there will be
diseases. With a benefic in an angle, or trine all diseases will disappear.
Lagn’s angles (i.e. Bandhu, Yuvati, or the 10th), or its trine (Putr, Dharm),
containing a benefic, is a powerful remedy for all, related to health. 3. There
will not be bodily health, if Lagn, or Candr be drishtied by, or yuti with a
malefic, being devoid of a benefics Drishti. 4. Bodily Beauty. A benefic in
Lagn will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of
good appearance. Felicity of the body will be enjoyed, if Lagn is drishtied by,
or yuti with a benefic. 5-7. Other Benefits. If Lagn Lord, Budh, Guru, or Sukr
be in an angle, or in a trine, the native will be long lived, wealthy,
intelligent and liked by the king. Fame, wealth, abundant pleasures and
comforts of the body will be acquired, if Lagn Lord is in a Movable Rashi and
be drishtied by a benefic Grah. One will be endowed with royal marks (of
fortune), if Budh, Guru, or Sukr be in Lagn along with the Candr, or be in
angle from Lagn. If Budh, Guru, or Sukr be in 4th, 7th, or 10th from Lagn, or
be in the company of Candr in Lagn, the native will enjoy royal fortunes. 8.
Coiled Birth. If there be a birth in one of Mesh, Vrishabh and Simh Lagnas,
containing either Sani, or Mangal, the birth of the child is with a coil around
a limb. The corresponding limb will be in accordance with the Rashi, or Navans,
rising. 9. Birth of Twins. The native, who has Surya in a quadruped Rashi,
while others are in Dual Rashis with strength, is born, as one of the twins.
10. To Be Nurtured by Three Mothers. If Surya and Candr join in one and the
same Bhava and fall in one Navans, the native will be nurtured by three
different mothers for the first three months from its birth and will later on
be brought up by its father and brother. (‘Bhratri’ apart from meaning a
brother calls for interpretation, as a near relative in general) 11. Important.
The learned in Jyotish should base the effects on Candr also, as are applicable
to Lagn. Now explained are clues to know of ulcers, identity marks etc. on
one’s person. 12-14. Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose,
temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas),
when the first decanate of a Rashi ascends. In the case of the second decanate
ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The
order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh,
knee, calf and foot. The portion already risen indicates left side of the body
(while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of
the body). 15. Limbs Affected. The limb, related to a malefic by occupation,
will have ulcers, or scars, while the one, related to a benefic, will have a
mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis. (Also see Sloka 6, Ch. 4 of
Saravali, which states, that a malefic, or a benefic, if be in own Rashi, or
Navans, the effects will be right from birth. In other cases it will be in the
course of one’s life, that these effects will come to pass)
Ch. 13. Effects of Dhan Bhava
1-2. Combinations for Wealth. O excellent of the Brahmins,
listen to me, speaking on the effects of Dhan Bhava. If the Lord of Dhan is in
Dhan, or is in an angle, or in trine, he will promote one’s wealth (or monetary
state). Should he be in Ari/8th/12th, financial conditions will decline. A
benefic in Dhan will give wealth, while a malefic instead will destroy wealth.
3. One will be wealthy, if Guru is in Dhan, as the Lord of Dhan, or is with
Mangal. 4. If Dhan Lord is in Labh, while the Lord of Labh in Dhan, wealth will
be acquired by the native. Alternately these two Lords may join in an angle, or
in a trine. 5. If the Lord of Dhan is in an angle, while Labh Lord is in a
trine thereof, or is drishtied by, or yuti with Guru and Sukr, the subject will
be wealthy. 6-7. Yogas for Poverty. One will be penniless, if the Lord of Dhan
Bhava is in an evil Bhava, while the Lord of Labh Bhava is also so placed and
Dhan Bhava is occupied by a malefic. There will be penury right from birth and
the native will have to beg even for his food, if the Lords of Dhan and Labh
Bhava are both combust, or with malefics. 8. Loss of Wealth through the King.
Should the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava be relegated to Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya
Bhava, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava and Rahu is in Dhan Bhava, the native will
lose his wealth on account of royal punishments. 9. Expenses on Good Accounts.
When Guru is in Labh, Sukr is in Dhan and a benefic is placed in Vyaya Bhava,
while Dhan’s Lord is yuti with a benefic, there will be expenses on religious,
or charitable grounds. 10. Fame etc. If Dhan’s Lord is in own Rashi, or is
exalted, the native will look after his people, will help others and also will
become famous. 11. Effortless Aquisition. If Dhan’s Lord is yuti with a benefic
and is in a good division, like Paravatans, there will be effortlessly all
kinds of wealth in the native’s family. (“Paravatansdau” of the text denotes
Paravat, or such other higher Vargas: Dhan’s Lord should be in Paravatans, or
in Devalokans, Brahmalokans, Sakravahanans, or Sridhamans in the Dash Varg
scheme) 12. Eyes. If Dhan Lord is endowed with strength, the native will
possess beautiful eyes. Should the said Grah be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava,
there will be disease, or deformity of eyes. 13. Untruthful Person. If Dhan
Bhava and its Lord are yuti with malefics, the native will be a talebearer,
will speak untruth and will be afflicted by windy diseases.
Ch. 14. Effects of Sahaj Bhava
1. O Brahmin, I now tell you about Sahaj Bhava. Should Sahaj
Bhava be yuti with, or drishtied by a benefic, the native will be endowed with
co-born and be courageous. 2. If Sahaj’s Lord along with Mangal drishties Sahaj
Bhava, the native will enjoy good results, due to Sahaj Bhava. Alternatively
these two Grahas may be in Sahaj itself. 3. Destruction at once of co-born will
come to pass, if the said 2 Grahas are together with a malefic, or in a Rashi,
owned by a malefic. 4-4½. Female and Male Co-born. If Sahaj’s Lord is a female
Grah, or, if Sahaj Bhava be occupied by female Grahas, one will have sisters,
born after him. Similarly male Grahas and male Rashis denote younger brothers.
Should it be of mixed nature, co-born of both sexes will be obtained. These
effects be declared after assessing the strength and weakness of the concerned.
5-6. Should Sahaj’s Lord and Mangal be together in Randhr Bhava, destruction of
co-born will result. Happiness in this respect will come to pass, if Mangal, or
Sahaj’s Lord is in an angle, or in a trine, or in exaltation, or friendly
divisions. 7-11. Number of Brothers and Sisters. If Budh is in Sahaj Bhava,
while Sahaj’s Lord and Candr are together, as the indicator (Mangal) joins
Sani, the effects are: there occurred the birth of an elder sister and there
will be younger brothers. Furthermore, the third brother will die. Should
Mangal be yuti with Rahu, while Sahaj’s Lord is in his debilitation Rashi,
there will be loss of younger brothers and/or sisters, while three elder
brothers and/or sisters were attained by the native. If Sahaj’s Lord is in an
angle, while the significator (Mangal) is exalted in a trine and be yuti with
Guru, 12 will be the number of total co-born. Out of these two elders and the
3rd, the 7th, the 9th and the 12th of the younger co-born will be shortlived,
while six of the said twelve will be longlived. 12-13. There will be 1 co-born,
if Vyaya’s Lord (some texts read, as Labh’s Lord) joins Mangal and Guru, while
Sahaj Bhava is occupied by Candr. If Candr is lonely placed in Sahaj Bhava with
Drishti of male Grahas, there will be younger brothers, while the Drishti of
Sukr denotes younger sisters. 14. Adverse Grahas. Surya in Sahaj Bhava will
destroy the preborn. The afterborn will be destroyed, if Sani is found in Sahaj
Bhava. In the same situation Mangal will destroy both the preborn and
later-born. 15. After estimating the strength and weakness of such Yogas, the
effects, related to brothers and sisters, be announced.
Ch. 15. Effects of Bandhu Bhava
1. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been briefly told
the effects of Sahaj Bhava. Now listen to the results, related to Bandhu Bhava.
2. Housing Comforts. One will have residential comforts in full degree, if
Bandhu is occupied by its Lord, or by Lagn’s Lord and be drishtied by a
benefic. 3. Miscellaneous. Should Putr’s Lord be in his own Bhava, or in own
Navans, or in exaltation, the native will be endowed with comforts, related to
lands, conveyances, houses etc. and musical instruments. 4. Housing Comforts.
If Karm’s Lord joins Bandhu’s Lord in an angle, or in a trine, the native will
acquire beautiful mansions. 5. Relatives. Should Budh be in Lagn, while
Bandhu’s Lord, being a benefic, is drishtied by another benefic, the native
will be honoured by his relatives. 6. Long-living Mother. If Bandhu Bhava is
occupied by a benefic, while its Lord is in his exaltation Rashi, as the
indicator of mother is endowed with strength, the native will have a
long-living mother. 7. Happiness of Mother. The native’s mother will be happy,
if Bandhu’s Lord is in an angle, while Sukr is also in an angle, as Budh is
exalted. 8. Quadrupeds. Surya in Bandhu, Candr and Sani in Dharm and Mangal in
Labh Bhava; this Yoga will confer cows and buffaloes on the native. 9.
Dumbness. Should Bandhu Bhava be a Movable one, while its Lord and Mangal are
together in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native will be dumb. 10-14. Conveyances.
If Lagn’s Lord is a benefic, while Bandhu’s Lord is in fall, or in Labh Bhava
and the significator (Sukr) is in Vyaya Bhava, the native will obtain
conveyances in his 12th year. Should Surya be in Bandhu Bhava, as Bandhu’s Lord
is exalted and be with Sukr, one will acquire conveyances in his 32nd year. It
will be in the 42nd year, that one will be endowed with conveyances, if
Bandhu’s Lord joins Karm’s Lord in his (4th Lord’s) exaltation Navans. An
exchange between Labh’s and Bandhu’s Lords will confer conveyances in the 12th
year. A benefic, related to Bandhu Bhava (and to its Lord), will bring with him
auspicious effects (regarding conveyances), while a malefic will produce only
malefic effects (in respect of conveyances). Should a benefic be in Bandhu,
drishti Bandhu, or in yuti with the Lord of Bandhu, or a Drishti on the Lord of
Bandhu Bhava, then the native will be happy with conveyances and be free from
accidents and dangers. A malefic, replacing the said benefic, will cause
losses, concerning vehicles and reduce one to severe accidents.
Ch. 16. Effects of Putr Bhava
1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putr
Bhava. If the Lords of Lagn and Putr are in their own Rashis, or in an angle,
or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness through his children. Should
Putr’s Lord be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be no offspring.
Should the Lord of Putr be combust, or be with malefics and be weak, there will
be no children; even, if per chance issues are obtained, they will only quit
the world soon. The Yuti of Putr’s Lord with Lagn’s Lord in a good Bhava will
ensure early obtainment of children apart from happiness through them. If they
join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a defect in this respect. 4. If Putr’s
Lord is in Ari Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is yuti with Mangal, the native will lose
his very first child, whereafter his female will not be fertile to yield an
offspring. 5. Should Putr’s Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava,
while Budh and Ketu are in Putr Bhava, the native’s wife will give birth to one
child only. 6. If Putr’s Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putr, while
Sani and Budh are in Putr, the native’s wife will give birth to one child only.
7. Should Dharm’s Lord be in Lagn, while Putr’s Lord is in fall and Ketu is in
Putr along with Budh, obtainment of progeny will be after a great deal of
ordeal. 8. If Putr’s Lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an
inimical Rashi, or be in fall, or in Putr itself, the native will beget issues
with difficulty. 9. Should Putr Bhava be owned by Sani, or Budh and be occupied,
or drishtied by Sani and Mandi, one will have adopted issues. 10. Should Surya
and Candr be together in a Rashi and in the same Navans, the native will be
brought up by three mothers, or two fathers. 11. Adopted issue is indicated, if
Putr is tenanted by six Grahas, while its Lord is in Vyaya Bhava and Candr and
Lagn are endowed with strength. 12. There will be many children, if Putr’s Lord
is strong, while Putr is drishtied by strong Budh, Guru and Sukr. 13. If Putr’s
Lord is with Candr, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters; so
say Jyotishis. 14. If Putr’s Lord is in a Movable Rashi, while Sani is in Putr,
as Rahu is with Candr, the child (so born) is of questionable birth. 15.
Undoubtedly the native is born of other’s loins, if Candr is in the 8th from
Lagn, while Guru is in the 8th from Candr. Malefic’s Drishti, or Yuti is
essential in this Yog. 16. If Putr’s Lord is exalted, or be in Dhan, Putr, or
Dharm Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of children will
be there. 17. One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if
Putr is occupied by three, or four malefics, while Putr’s Lord is in fall. A
benefic (including Budh) in Putr is excluded in the said combination. 18. If
Putr is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Sukr, one will obtain an
offspring in his 32nd, or 33rd year. 19. Should Putr’s Lord be in an angle
along with Guru, the Karak, one will beget a child at the age of 30, or 36. 20.
If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Sukr is in the 9th from Guru along with Lagn’s
Lord, one will beget a child at the age of 40. 21. The native will at the age
of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putr, Putr’s Lord is in Yuti with a malefic
and Guru is in debilitation. 22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if
a malefic is in the 5th from Guru, while another is in the 5th from Lagn. 23.
Should Mandi be in Lagn, while Lagn’s Lord is in fall, grief on account of loss
of child at the age of 56 will come to pass. 24-32. Number of Children. There
will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied by malefics, while
Putr’s Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagn’s Lord, as Guru is with another
benefic. Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in
deep exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhan’s Lord and Dharm is occupied by its own
Lord. There will be eight sons, if Guru is in Putr, or Dharm Bhava, while
Putr’s Lord is endowed with strength and Dhan’s Lord is in Karm Bhava. Sani in
Dharm Bhava, while Putr’s Lord is in Putr itself, gives 7 sons, out of which
twins will be born twice. If Putr’s Lord is in Putr in Yuti with Dhan’s Lord,
there will be birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away. Only one son is
denoted, if there be a malefic in Putr Bhava, while Guru is in the 5th from
Sani, or vice versa. If Putr Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Sani is in the
5th from Guru, the native will beget offspring only through his second, or
third wife. Should Putr be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti with Sani
in Putr Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in Dhan Bhava and Putr’s Lord is yuti with
Mangal, one will live long, but lose his children one after the other, as they
are born.
Ch. 17. Effects of Ari Bhava
1. O Brahmin, following are the effects, produced by Ari
Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers etc. Listen to this attentively. 2.
Ulcers/Bruises. Should Ari’s Lord be in Ari itself, or in Lagn, or Randhr,
there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The Rashi, becoming Ari Bhava,
will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. 3-5. Relatives Affected. The
Karak of a relative, or the Lord of such a Bhava, joining Ari’s Lord, or being
in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a relative, like
father. Surya with such lordship and in such a Bhava denotes such affectation
of head, Candr of the face, Mangal of the neck, Budh of the navel, Guru of the
nose, Sukr of the eyes, Sani of the feet and the Rahu and Ketu of the abdomen.
6. Facial Diseases. Should Lagn’s Lord be in a Rashi of Mangal, or of Budh and
has a Drishti on Budh, there will be diseases of the face. 7-8½. Leprosy.
Mangal, or Budh, having ownership of the ascending Rashi and joining Candr,
Rahu and Sani, will cause leprosy. If Candr is in Lagn, which is not however
Cancer, and be with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy. Sani in place of Rahu
will cause black leprosy, while Mangal similarly will afflict one with
blood-leprosy. 9-12½. Diseases in General. When Lagn is occupied by the Lords
of Ari and Randhr Bhava along with Surya, the native will be afflicted by fever
and tumours. Mangal, replacing Surya, will cause swelling and hardening of the
blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons. Budh so featuring will bring in
billious diseases, while Guru in similar case will destroy any disease.
Similarly Sukr will cause diseases through females, Sani windy diseases, Rahu
danger through low-caste-men and Ketu navel diseases. Candr in Yuti with the
Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava will inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic
disorders. Similar estimates be made from the respective significators and
Bhavas for relatives, like father. 13-19½ TIMING OF ILLNESS. The native will be
afflicted by illness throughout life, if Sani is with Rahu, while Ari Lord and
6th Bhava are yuti with malefics. One will suffer from (severe) fever at the age
of 6 and at the age of 12, if Mangal is in Ari, while Ari Lord is in Randhr. If
the Candr is in Dhanu/Meen, while Guru is in Ari from Lagn, one will suffer
from leprosy at the age of 19 and 22. If Rahu is in Ari, Lagna Lord is in
Randhr and Mandi is in an angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age
of 26. Spleenary disorders will be experienced at the age of 29 and 30, if the
Lords of 6th and 12th are in exchange of their Rashis. Sani and Candr together
in Ari will inflict blood-leprosy at the age of 45. If Sani is with an inimical
planet, while Lagn Lord is in Lagn itself, windy disorders (like rheumatism)
will trouble the native at the age of 59. 20-22. UNFORTUNATE YEARS. Should
Candr be yuti with Ari Lord, while the 8th Lord is in Ari and the 12th Lord is
in Lagn, the native will be troubled by animals at the age of eight. O Brahmin,
if Rahu is in Ari, while Sani is in Randhr from the said Rahu, the child will
have danger through fire at the age of 1 and 2, while in Sahaj year birds will
bring some evils. 23-25. UNFORTUNATE YEARS (continued). Danger through water
will have to be feared during Putr and Dharm years, if Surya is in Ari, or
Randhr, while Candr is in Vyaya from the said Surya. Sani in Randhr, as Mangal
is in Yuvati, all cause small-pox in Karm year and in 30th year of age. If 8th
Lord joins Rahu in an angle/trine from Randhr Bhava and be in Randhr in
Navamsa, the subject will be troubled by swelling of blood vessels, urinary
disorders etc. during the 18th year and the 22nd year. 26. LOSS THROUGH
ENEMIES. Loss of wealth will come to pass during the 31st year, if Labh and 6th
Lords exchange their Rashis. 27. INIMICAL SONS. One’s own sons will be his
enemies, if Putr Lord is in Ari, while Ari Lord is with Guru. Simultaneously
Vyaya Lord should be in Lagn. 28. FEAR FROM DOGS. There will be fear from dogs
during the 10th and 19th year, if the Lagna Lord and the 6th Lord are in
exchange.
Ch. 18. Effects of Yuvati Bhava
1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, detailing the
effects of the 7th Bhava. If Yuvati Lord is in his own Rashi, or in exaltation,
one will derive full happiness through his wife (and marriage). 2. SICK WIFE.
Should Yuvati Lord be in Ari, 8th, or Vyaya, the wife will be sickly. This
however does not apply to own Bhava, or exaltation placement, as above. 3.
Excessive·Libidinousness/Death·of·Wife. If Sukr is in Yuvati, the native will
be exceedingly libidinous. If Sukr yuti a malefic in any Bhava, it will cause
loss of wife. 4-5. THE 7TH LORD. Should Yuvati Lord be endowed with strength
and be yuti with, or be drishtied by a benefic, the native will be wealthy,
honourable, happy and fortunate. Conversely, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or is
combust, or is in an enemy’s Rashi, one will acquire sick wives and many wives.
6. PLURALITY OF WIVES. If Yuvati Lord is in a Rashi of Sani, or of Sukr and be
drishtied by a benefic, there will be many wives. Should Yuvati Lord be
particularly in exaltation, the same effects will come to pass. 7-8½.
MlSCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The native will befriend barren females, if Surya is in
Yuvati. Candr therein will cause association with such female, as corresponding
to the Rashi, becoming Yuvati. Mangal, placed in Yuvati, will denote
association with marriageable girls (those with menses), or with barren
females. Budh indicates harlots, mean females and females, belonging to
traders’ community. Wife of a Brahmin, or a pregnant female will be in the
native’s association, if Guru is in Yuvati. Base females and females, having
attained their courses, are denoted by Sani, Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati. 8-9½. Mangal
denotes a female with attractive breasts. Sani indicates sick and weak spouse.
Guru will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts. Sukr will bring one
with bulky and excellent breasts. 10-13½. Malefics in Vyaya and 7th, while
decreasing Candr is in Putr denote, that the native will be controlled by
spouse, who will be inimical to the race (or family). If Yuvati Bhava is
occupied, or owned by Sani/Mangal, the native will beget a harlot, as his spouse,
or he will be attached to other illegally. Should Sukr be in a Navamsa of
Mangal, or in a Rasi of Mangal, or receive a Drishti from, or be yuti with
Mangal, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the female. If Sukr is so
related to Sani, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the male. 14-15.
WORTHY SPOUSE. The native will beget a spouse endowed with (the seven
principal) virtues, who will expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the
7th Lord is exalted, while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a
benefic. 16. EVILS TO SPOUSE. If Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is yuti with a
malefic the native’s wife will incur evils, especially, if Yuvati Bhava, or its
Lord is bereft of strength. 17. LOSS OF SPOUSE. If Yuvati Lord is devoid of
strength and is relegated to Ari, 8th, or Vyaya, or, if Yuvati Lord is in fall,
the native’s wife will be destroyed (i.e. she will die early). 18. LACK OF
CONJUGAL FELICITY. If Candr is in Yuvati, as Yuvati Lord is in Vyaya and the
Karaka (indicator Sukr) is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed
with marital happiness. 19-21. PLURALlIY OF WIVES. One will have two wives, if
Yuvati Lord is in fall, or in a malefic Rashi along with a malefic, while
Yuvati Bhava, or the 7th Navamsa belong to a eunuch planet. If Mangal and Sukr
are in Yuvati, or, if Sani is Yuvati, while the Lord of Lagn is in Randhr, the
native will have 3 wives. There will be many wives, if Sukr is in a Dual Rashi,
while its Lord is in exaltation, as Yuvati Lord is endowed with strength. 22.
TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto Sloka 34). If Yuvati Lord is in a benefic’s Bhava (or in
Dharm, as Subha Rashi so means), while Sukr is exalted, or is in own Rashi, the
native will marry at the age of 5, or 9. 23. If Surya is in Yuvati, while his
dispositor is yuti with Sukr, there will be marriage at 7th, or 11th year of
age. 24. Sukr in Dhan, while Yuvati Lord is in Labh will give marriage at the
age of 10, or 16. 25. Marriage will take place during the 11th year, if Sukr is
in an angle from Lagn, while Lagn Lord is in Makar, or Kumbh. 26. The native
will marry at 12, or l9, if Sukr is in an angle from the Lagna, while Sani is
in Yuvati counted from Sukr. 27. Should Sukr be in Yuvati from Candr, while
Sani is in Yuvati from Sukr, marriage will be in the 18th year. 28. Marriage
will be in the 15th year, if Dhan Lord is in Labh, while Lagn Lord is in Karm.
29. An exchange between the Lords of Dhan and Labh will bring marriage 13 years
after birth. 30. Ones 22nd/27th year will confer marriage, if Sukr is in Yuvati
from the 8th Bhava (i.e. Dhan from Lagna), while his dispositor is yuti with
Mangal. 31. Should Yuvati Lord be in Vyaya, while the natal Lord is in Yuvati
in Navamsa, marriage will be in 23rd/26th year of age. 32. Either the 25th
year, or the 33rd year will bring marriage, if Randhr Lord is in Yuvati, as
Sukr is in Navamsa Lagna. 33. Should Sukr be in Dharm from Dharm (i.e. in Putr
Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the said Bhavas (i.e. in Putr/Dharm), marriage
will take place during 31st, or 33rd year. 34. The native will marry at 30, or
27, if Sukr is in Lagn, while the 7th Lord is in Yuvati itself. 35-39. TIMING
OF WIFE’S DEATH. Loss of wife will occur in the 18th year, or 33rd year of age
of the native, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, while Sukr is in Randhr. One will
lose his spouse in his 19th year, if Yuvati Lord is in the 8th, while Vyaya
Lord is in Yuvati. The native’s wife will die within three days of marriage due
to snake bite, if the native has Rahu in Dhan and Mangal in Yuvati. If Sukr is
in Randhr, while his dispositor is in a Rashi of Sani, death of wife will take
place during the native’s 12th, or 21st year of age. Should the ascendat Lord
be in his Rashi of debilitation, as Dhan Lord is in Randhr, loss of wife will
occur in the 13th year of age. 40-41. THREE MARRIAGES. Should Candr be in
Yuvati from Sukr, while Budh is in Yuvati from Candr and Randhr Lord is in Putr
(from the Lagna), there will be marriage in Karm year followed by another in
the 22nd year and yet another in the 33rd year. 42. DEATH OF WlFE. lf Ari, 7th
and 8th are in their order occupied by Mangal, Rahu and Sani, the native’s wife
will not live (long).
Ch. 19. Effects of Randhr Bhava
1. Long Life. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me
speak on the effects of Randhr Bhava. If Randhr’s Lord is in an angle, long
life is indicated. 2. Short Life. Should Randhr’s Lord join Lagn’s Lord, or a
malefic and be in Randhr itself, the native will be short lived. 3. Sani and
Karm’s Lord about Longevity. Similarly consider Sani and Karm’s Lord in the
matter of longevity. Karm’s Lord is in Randhr along with a malefic Grah and/or
Lagn’s Lord. 4-7. Long Life. There will be long life, if Ari’s Lord is in
Vyaya, or, if Ari’s Lord is in Ari, as Vyaya’s Lord is in Vyaya, or, if Ari’s
Lord and Vyaya’s Lord are in Lagn and Randhr. If the Lords of Putr, Randhr and
Tanu Bhava are in own Navansas, own Rashis, or in friendly Rashis, the native
will enjoy a long span of life. Should the Lords of Lagn, Randhr and Karm Bhava
and Sani are all disposed severally in an angle, in a trine, or in Labh Bhava,
the subject will live long. Like these, there are many other Yogas, dealing
with the issue of longevity. The strength and weakness of the Grahas concerned
be estimated in deciding longevity. 8-13. Short Life. One’s span of life will
be between 20 and 32 years, if Lagn’s Lord is weak, while Randhr’s Lord is an
angle. The native will only be short-lived, if Randhr’s Lord is in fall, while
Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it and Tanu Bhava is bereft of strength. Death will
be instant at birth, if Randhr Bhava, Randhr’s Lord and Vyaya Bhava are all
conjunct malefics. Malefics in angles and/or trines and benefics in Ari and/or
Randhr Bhava, while Tanu Bhava has in it Randhr’s Lord in fall: this Yoga will
cause immediate end. If Putr and Randhr Bhava and Randhr’s Lord are all
conjunct malefics, the life span will be very brief. Within a month of birth,
death will befall the child, if Randhr’s Lord is in Randhr itself, while Candr
is with malefics and be bereft of beneficial Drishti. 14-15. Long Life (again).
One will be long-lived, if Lagn’s Lord is in exaltation, while Candr and Guru
are, respectively, in Labh and Randhr Bhava. If Lagn’s Lord is exceedingly
strong and receives a Drishti from a benefic, which is placed in an angle, the
person concerned will be wealthy, virtuous and long-lived.
Ch. 20. Effects of Dharm Bhava
(1) Combinations for Fortunes. O Brahmin, now listen to the
effects of Dharm Bhava. One will be fortunate (or affluent), if Dharm’s Lord is
in Dharm Bhava with strength. (2) Should Guru be in Dharm Bhava, while Dharm’s
Lord is in an angle and Lagn’s Lord is endowed with strength, one will be
extremely fortunate. 3. Fortunate (Affluent) Father. If Dharm’s Lord is with
strength, as Sukr is in Dharm, while Guru is in an angle from Tanu Bhava, the
native’s father is fortunate. 4. Indigent Father. If Dharm’s Lord is
debilitated, while the 2nd and/or the 4th from Dharm Bhava is occupied by
Mangal, the native’s father is poor. 5. Long-living Father. Should Dharm’s Lord
be in deep exaltation, while Sukr is in an angle from Tanu Bhava and Guru is in
the 9th from Navans Lagn, the father of the native will enjoy a long span of
life. 6. Royal Status for Father. If Dharm’s Lord is an angle and receives a
Drishti from Guru, the native’s father will be a king endowed with conveyances,
or be equal to a king. 7. Wealthy and Famous Father. Should Dharm’s Lord be in
Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord receives a Drishti from a benefic the native’s
father will be very rich and famous. 8-9. Virtuous and Devoted to Father.
Should Surya be in deep exaltation, as Dharm’s Lord is in Labh Bhava, the
native will be virtuous, dear to the king and devoted to father. If Surya is in
a trine from Lagna, while Dharm’s Lord is in Yuvati in yuti with, or receiving
a Drishti from Guru, the native will be devoted to his father. 10. Fortunes
etc. Acquisition of fortunes, conveyances and fame will follow the 32nd year of
age, if Dharm’s Lord is in Dhan, while Dhan’s Lord is in Dharm. 11. Inimical to
Father. There will be mutual enmity between the father and the native, if
Lagn’s Lord is in Dharm Bhava, but with the Lord of Ari. Further, the native’s
father will be of contemptible disposition. 12. Begged Food. If Karm’s Lord and
Sahaj’s Lord are bereft of strength, while Dharm’s Lord is in fall, or combust
the native will go begging for his food. 13-25. Combinations for Father’s
Death. The father of the native would have passed away prior to the native’s
birth, if Surya is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, as Randhr’s Lord is in Dharm
Bhava, Vyaya’s Lord is in Tanu Bhava and Ari’s Lord is in Putr Bhava. Should
Surya be in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr’s Lord is in Dharm, the native’s father
will pass away within a year of his birth. If the Lord of Vyaya Bhava is in
Dharm Bhava, while Dharm’s Lord is in its debilitation Navans, the native’s
father will face his end during the 3rd, or the 16th year of the native. Death
of father will occur in the 2nd, or the 12th year, if Lagn’s Lord is in Randhr
Bhava, as Randhr’s Lord is with Surya. Should Rahu be in the 8th from Dharm, as
Surya is in the 9th from Dharm, death of father will take place in the 16th, or
the 18th year of the native. If Sani is in the 9th from Candr, as Surya is with
Rahu, the native’s father will die in the 7th, or the 19th year of the native.
The native in his 44th year will lose his father, if Dharm’s Lord is in Vyaya,
as Vyaya’s Lord is in Dharm. If Lagn’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Candr is in
Surya’s Navans, the native in his 35th, or 41st year will lose his father. One
will lose his father in the 50th year, if Surya, being the Lord of Dharm, is
conjunct Mangal and Sani. If Surya is in the 7th from Dharm Bhava, as Rahu is
in the 7th from Sahaj Bhava, the 6th, or 25th year of the native will be fatal
for father. If Sani is in the 7th from Randhr Bhava, as Surya is in the 7th
from Sani, the ages of 21, 26, or 30 will be fatal for the father. If Dharm’s
Lord is in its debilitation Rashi, while his dispositor is in Dharm Bhava, the
native will lose his father at the age of 26, or 30. Thus the Jyotishis may
know the effects. 26. Fortunes. One will enjoy abundant fortunes, if Sukr is in
deep exaltation and be in the company of Dharm’s Lord, as Sani is in Sahaj.
27-28. Fortunate Periods. Abundant fortunes be acquired after the 20th year, if
Dharm has Guru in it, as its Lord is in an angle from Lagn. Should Budh be in
his deep exaltation, as Dharm’s Lord is in Dharm itself, abundant fortunes will
be earned after the 36th year. 29. Should Lagn’s Lord be in Dharm, as Dharm’s
Lord is in Lagn and Guru is in Yuvati, there will be gains of wealth and
conveyances. 30. Lack of Fortunes. If Rahu is in the 9th from Dharm Bhava, as
his dispositor is in Randhr Bhava and Dharm’s Lord is in fall, the native be
devoid of fortunes. 31. Food by Begging. Should Sani be in Dharm Bhava along
with Candr, as Lagn’s Lord is in fall, the native will acquire food by begging.
32. O Brahmin, these are the effects related to Dharm Bhava. I have explained
briefly. These may be estimated with the help of the state of the Lords of Lagn
and Dharm Bhava and in other manners as well.
Ch. 21. Effects of Karm Bhava 1.
I now explain the effects of Karm Bhava. Listen to these, o
Maitreya, in the words of Brahma, Garga and others. 2. Paternal Happiness. If
Karm’s Lord is strong and in exaltation, or in its own Rashi/Navans, the native
will derive extreme paternal happiness, will enjoy fame and will perform good
deeds. 3. If Karm’s Lord is devoid of strength, the native will face
obstructions in his work. If Rahu is in an angle, or in a trine, he will
perform religious sacrifices, like Jyotishtoma. 4. If Karm’s Lord is with a
benefic, or be in an auspicious Bhava, one will always gain through royal
patronage and in business. In a contrary situation, only opposite results will
come to pass. 5. Should Karm and Labh Bhava be both occupied by malefics, the
native will indulge only in bad deeds and will defile his own men. 6. If the
Lord of Karm Bhava is relegated to Randhr Bhava along with Rahu, the native
will hate others; be a great fool and will do bad deeds. 7. If Sani, Mangal and
Karm’s Lord are in Yuvati, as Yuvati’s Lord is with a malefic, the native will
be fond of carnal pleasures and of filling his belly. 8-10 Should Karm’s Lord
be in exaltation and be in the company of Guru, as Dharm’s Lord is in Karm the
native will be endowed with honour, wealth and valour. One will lead a happy
life, if Labh’s Lord is in Karm and Karm’s Lord is in Lagn, or, if the Lord of
Karm Bhava is yuti with the Lord of Labh Bhava in an angle. Should Karm’s Lord
in strength be in Meen along Guru, the native will doubtless obtain robes,
ornaments and happiness. 11. Should Rahu, Surya, Sani and Mangal be in Labh
Bhava, the native will incur cessation of his duties. 12. One will be learned
and wealthy, if Guru is in Meen along with Sukr, while Lagn’s Lord is strong
and Candr is in exaltation. 13. Should Karm’s Lord be in Labh, while Labh’s
Lord is in Tanu Bhava and Sukr is in Karm, the native will be endowed with
precious stones. 14. If the Karm’s Lord is exalted in an angle, or a trine and
is yuti with Guru, or receives a Drishti from Guru, one will be endowed with
deeds. 15. Should Karm’s Lord be in Lagn along with Lagn’s Lord, as Candr is in
an angle, or in a trine, the native will be interested in good deeds. 16. If
Sani is in Karm Bhava along with a debilitated Grah, while Karm Bhava in the
Navans Kundali is occupied by a malefic, the native will be bereft of acts. 17.
One will indulge in bad acts, if Karm’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr’s
Lord is in Karm Bhava with a malefic. 18. Obstructions to the native’s acts
will crop up, if Karm’s Lord is in fall, as both Karm Bhava and the 10th from
Karm Bhava have malefic occupations. 19-21. Combinations for Fame. One will be
endowed with fame, if Candr is in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is in a trine
from Karm Bhava and Lagn’s Lord is in Lagn’s angle. Similar effects will come
to pass, if Labh’s Lord is in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is strong and gives
a Drishti to Guru. Fame will come to the native, if Karm’s Lord is in Dharm
Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in Karm Bhava and Candr is in Putr Bhava. 22. O
excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been told about the effects of Karm Bhava
in a brief manner. Other related effects be guessed by you based on the
relationship of the Lords of Lagn and of Karm Bhava.
Ch. 22. Effects of Labh Bhava
1. O excellent of the Brahmins, I now explain effects
relating to Labh Bhava, the auspiciousness of which Bhava will make one happy at
all times. 2. Should Labh’s Lord be in Labh itself, or be in an angle, or in a
trine from Lagn, there will be many gains. Similarly, if Labh’s Lord is
exalted, though in combustion there will be many gains. 3. If Labh’s Lord is in
Dhan Bhava, while Dhan’s Lord is in an angle along with Guru, the gains will be
great. 4. If Labh’s Lord is in Sahaj Bhava, while Labh Bhava is occupied by a
benefic, the native will gain 2000 Nishkas in his 36th year. 5. If Labh’s Lord
is yuti with a benefic in an angle, or in a trine, the native will acquire 500
Nishkas in his 40th year. 6. The native will own 6000 Nishkas, if Labh Bhava is
occupied by Guru, while Dhan Bhava and Dharm Bhava are, respectively, taken
over by Candr and Sukr by position. 7. Should Guru, Budh and Candr be in the
11th from Labh, the native will be endowed with wealth, grains, fortunes,
diamonds, ornaments etc. 8. One will gain 1000 Nishkas in his 33rd year, if
Labh’s Lord is in Lagn and Lagn’s Lord is in Labh Bhava. 9. If Labh’s Lord is
in Dhan Bhava, as Dhan’s Lord is in Labh Bhava, one will amass abundant
fortunes after marriage. 10. If Labh’s Lord is in Sahaj Bhava, as Sahaj’s Lord
is in Labh Bhava, one will gain wealth through co-borns and will be endowed
with excellent ornaments. 11. There will be no gains in spite of numerous
efforts, if Labh’s Lord is in fall, in combustion, or be in Ari, Randhr, or
Vyaya Bhava with a malefic.
Ch. 23. Effects of Vyaya Bhava
1-4. O Brahmin, now I tell you about the effects of Vyaya
Bhava. There will be expenses on good accounts, if Vyaya’s Lord is with a
benefic, or in his own Bhava, or exalted, or, if a benefic occupies Vyaya. One
will own beautiful houses and beds and be endowed with superior scented
articles and pleasures, if Candr happens to be Vyaya’s Lord and be exalted, or
be in its own Rashi and/or Navans, or in Labh/Dharm/Putr Bhava in Rashi/Navans.
The said native will live with rich clothes and ornaments, be learned and
Lordly. 5-6. And, if Vyaya’s Lord is in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, or be in enemy’s Navans,
in debilitation Navans, or in Randhr Bhava in Navans, one will be devoid of
happiness from wife, be troubled by expenses and deprived of general happiness.
If he be in an angle, or trine, the native will beget a spouse. 7. Just as
these effects are derived from Tanu Bhava in regard to the native, similar
deductions be made about co-borns etc. from Sahaj and other Bhavas. 8. Grahas
placed in the visible half of the zodiac will give explicit results, while the
ones in the invisible half will confer secret results. 9. If Rahu is in Vyaya
