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

Dhum etc. Before declaring these results, the effects of Surya and other Grahas
should be wisely conceived by their positions, relations and Drishtis apart
from their strength, or weakness.
Ch. 26. Evaluation of Drishtis of Grahas
1. O Glorious, it is said, that Drishtis (of Grahas) and
their strengths are to be known in deciding the effects. How many kinds are
these? Please clarify doubts. 2-5. Drishtis of the Grahas. O Brahmin, I have
earlier stated Drishtis, based on Rashis. The other kind is between Grahas,
which I detail below. 3rd and 10th, 5th and 9th, 4th and 8th and lastly 7th. On
these places the Drishtis increase gradually in slabs of quarters, i.e ¼, ½, ¾
and full. The effects will also be proportionate. All Grahas give a Drishti to
the 7th fully. Sani, Guru and Mangal have special Drishtis, respectively, on
the 3rd and the 10th, the 5th and the 9th and the 4th and the 8th. The ancient
preceptors have explained these, which ordinary. By subtle mathematical
calculations these Drishtis will have to be clearly understood, as under. 6-8.
Evaluation of the Drishtis of the Grahas. Deduct the longitude of the Grah (or
Bhava), that receives a Drishti, from that of the Grah, which gives the
Drishti. If the sum exceeds six Rashis, deduct the sum again from 10 Rashis.
Convert the latter sum into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is
Drishti Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference is in excess of 5 Rashis,
ignore the Rashis and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the
Drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4 Rashis, deduct it from 5 Rashis,
and the resultant degees etc. become the Drishti value. If the difference is in
excess of 3 Rashis, deduct it from 4 Rashis and (increase 30 by) halve the
product to get the Drishti value. If the difference is above 2 Rashis, ignore
the Rashis and add 15 to the degrees etc. to get the Drishti value. If it is in
excess of one Rashi, ignore the Rashis and divide the degrees by 2 to get the
Drishti value. 9-10. Special consideration for Sani’s Drishtis. O Brahmin, if
Sani is the Grah, that gives a Drishti, find out the difference between him and
the Grah, that receives the Drishti; if the sum is above 1 Rashi, multiply the
degrees etc. by 2 to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above nine Rashis,
the degrees to elapse be doubled to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above
2 Rashis, the degrees etc. be halved and deducted from 60. If the sum exceeds 8
Rashis, add to the degrees etc. a figure of 30 to get the Drishti value. In
other cases, the sums be processed, as explained earlier. 11. Special
consideration for Mangal’s Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Mangal from that
of the Grah, that receives the Drishti. If the sum is 3 Rashis & c, or 7
Rashis & c, the degrees etc. be reduced from 60. If it is above 2 Rashis,
the degrees etc. be increased by half of it and superadd 15. If the sum is 6
Rashis, one Rup is the value. 12. Special consideration for Guru’s Drishtis.
Deduct the longitude of Guru from that of the Grah, that receives the Drishti
from Guru. If the resultant sum is 3 Rashis & c, or 7 Rashis & c, halve
the degrees etc. and increase it by 15. It the sum is 4 Rashis & c, or 8
Rashis & c, the degrees etc. be subtracted from 60. This will be the
Drishti value. The sum, being in conformity with others than these, be treated,
as stated earlier.
Ch. 27. Evaluation Of Strengths
Shad Bal consists of the following: Sthan Bal (positional),
Dig Bal (directional), Kaal Bal (Temporal), inclusive of Ayan Bal
(equinoctial), Chesht Bal (motional), Naisargika Bal (natural), Drik Bal
(aspectual). These strengths are computed for the seven Grahas from Surya to
Sani. The nodes are not considered. Sthan Bal comprises of the following considerations:
Uchch Bal (exaltation), Sapt Vargaj Bal (strength accruing out of positions in
Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Saptans, Navans, Dvadashans and Trimshans),
OjhayugmaRashians Bal (acquired by placement in odd, or even Rashi and in odd,
or even Navans), Kendradi Bal (due to placement in Kon, or Panaphara, or
Apoklima Bhava), Dreshkan Bal (due to placement in first, second, or third
decanate of a Rashi). Kaal Bal comprises of the following subdivisions:
Nathonnata Bal (diurnal and nocturnal), Paksh Bal (fortnight), Tribhag Bal (due
to day/night being made in 3 parts), Varsh, Maas, Dina and Hora Bal (Varsh -
astrological year, Maas - month, Dina - weekday and Hora - planetary hour),
Ayan Bal (equinoctial), Yudhdh Bal (due to partaking in war between Grahas).
1-1½. Sthan Bal (up to Sloka 6). Firstly Uchch Bal. Now about the strengths by
classes positional, temporal etc. Deduct from the longitude of the Grah its
(deep) debilitation point. If the sum is less than 6 Rashis, consider it, as it
is; if it exceeds 6 Rashis, deduct the same from 12 Rashis. The sum so got be
converted into degrees etc. and divided by 3, which is the Grah’s Uchch Bal in
Virupas. 2-4. Sapt Vargaj Bal. If a Grah is in its Mooltrikon Rashi, it gets 45
Virupas, in Svasth Rashi 30 Virupas, in Pramudit Rashi 20 Virupas, in Shant
Rashi 15 Virupas, in Din Rashi 10 Virupas, in Duhkhit Rashi 4 Virupas and in
Khal Rashi 2 Virupas. Similarly these values occur for the other 6 divisional
occupations, viz. Hora, Dreshkan, Saptans, Navans, Dvadashans and Trimshans.
When all these are added together the Grah’s Sapt Vargaj Bal emerges. 4½.
OjhayugmaRashians Bal. Each of Sukr and Candr in even Rashis and others in odd
Rashis acquire a quarter of Rupa. These are applicable to such Navansas also.
5. Kendradi Bal. A Grah in a Kon gets full strength, while one in Panaphara
Bhava gets half and the one in Apoklima Bhava gets a quarter, as Kendradi Bal.
6. Dreshkan Bal. Male, female and hermaphrodite Grahas, respectively, get a
quarter Rupa according to placements in the first, second and third decanates.
7-7½. Dig Bal. Deduct Bandhu Bhava (Nadir) from the longitudes of Surya and
Mangal, Yuvati Bhava from that of Guru and Budh, Karm Bhava from that of Sukr
and Candr and lastly Lagn from that of Sani. If the sum is above 180 degrees,
deduct the sum from 360. The sum arrived in either way be divided by 3, which
will be Dig Bal of the Grah. 8-9. Kaal Bal (up to Sloka 17). Firstly Nathonnata
Bal. Find out the difference between midnight and the apparent birth time, which
is called Unnata. Deduct Unnata from 30 Ghatis to obtain Nata. Double the Nata
in Ghatis, which will indicate identical Nata Bal for Candr, Mangal and Sani.
Deduct the Nata from 60 to know the Unnata Bal of Surya, Guru and Sukr. Budh,
irrespective of day and night, gets full Nathonnata Bal. 10-11. Paksh Bal.
Deduct from Candr’s longitude that of Surya. If the sum exceeds 6 Rashis,
deduct the same from 12. The product so obtained be converted into degrees etc.
and divided by 3, which will indicate the Paksh Bal of each of the benefic
Grahas. The Paksh Bal of benefic should be deducted from 60, which will go to
each malefic, as Paksh Bal. 12. Tribagh Bal. One Rupa is obtained by Budh in
the first 1/3 part of day time, by Surya in the second 1/3 part of the day and
by Sani in the last 1/3 part of the day. Similarly Candr, Sukr and Mangal get
full Bal in the first, second and last 1/3 parts of the night. Guru gets this
Bal at all times. 13. Varsh-Maas-Dina-Hora Bal. 15, 30, 45 and 60 Virupas are
in order given to Varsh Lord, Maas Lord, Dina Lord and Hora Lord. Naisargika
Bal has already been explained. The Varsh Lord is the Lord of the day, on which
the astrological year of birth starts. To calculate this we first need the
number of days, past from the beginning of Creation, the Ahargan. According to
late Rev. Ebenezer Burgess, who translated Surya Siddhanta in English, as on
January 1, 1860, the number of days, past from the beginning of Creation are
714,404,108,573. Divide the number of days, past from the day of Creation till
the day of birth, by 60. Reject remainder and multiply the quotient by 3.
Increase the post-multiplied product by 1 and divide by 7. The remainder will
indicate the week day, on which the astrological year, giving birth to the
native, opened. Remainder 1 indicates Sunday, 2 Monday and so on. Maas Lord.
Divide the same Ahargan by 30 and the quotient indicates months, passed from
Creation to birth. The completed months be multiplied by 2 and increased by 1.
The latter sum should be divided by 7 and the remainder indicates, on which day
the birth month began. Continuing with the same case, we divide 65295 by 30.
Quotient is 2176. This sum multiplied by 2 and increased by 1 denotes 4353.
Dividing 4353 by 7, we get a remainder of 6, denoting Friday. That is, the
month of birth began on Friday and the Maas Bal goes to Sukr, the Lord of
Friday. Dina Lord. Though the week day of birth can be known from ephemeris, or
perpetual calendars, we better adopt the method prescribed, which will confirm,
if the Ahargan followed is correct. The number of days, as arrived above,
indicating Ahargan, be divided by 7 and the remainder will indicate the week
day of birth. Hora Bal. Hora means planetary hour. Each day from sunrise to
sunrise is divided into 24 equal parts of one hour. These Horas are ruled by
the 7 Grahas from Surya to Sani. The first Hora of the day is ruled by the Lord
of the week day. The 2nd one is ruled by the Lord of the 6th week day, counted
from the first ruler. The 3rd Hora is ruled by the Lord of the 6th week day,
counted from the 2nd Hora Lord. Similarly it proceeds in the same manner, till
the first Hora of the next day is taken over by the Lord of that day himself.
Whichever Grah rules the birth Hora, gets the Hora Bal. Horas are to be calculated
for mean local time and not standard time of births. 14. Naisargika Bal. Divide
one Rupa by 7 and multiply the resultant product by 1 to 7 separately, which
will indicate the Naisargika Bal, due to Sani, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr, Candr
and Surya, respectively. 15-17. Ayan Bal. 45, 33 and 12 are the Khandas for
calculating Ayan Bal. Add Ayanans to the Grah and find out the Bhuja (distance
from the nearest equinox). Add the figure, corresponding to the Rashi (of the
Bhuja) to the Bhuja. The degrees etc. of the Bhuja should be multiplied by the
figure, corresponding to the highest of the left out Khandas and divided by 30.
Add the resultant product to the sum, obtained earlier. Convert this to Rashi,
degrees, minutes and seconds. If Candr and Sani are in Tula, or ahead, add to
this 3 Rashis and, if in Mesh to Kanya, reduce from this 3 Rashis. Similarly it
is reverse for Surya, Mangal, Sukr and Guru. For Budh 3 Rashis are always
additive. The resultant sum in Rashi, degrees and minutes be divided by 3 to get
the Ayan Bal in Rupas. Notes. Ayan Bal can be found out on the following simple
formula: Ayan Bal = 60*(23°27’ + Kranti)/(46°54’) = (23°27’± Kranti)*1.2793.
The following points have to be remembered in respect of Krantis. When Candr,
or Sani have southern Kranti, or, when Surya, Mangal, Guru, or Sukr have
northern Kranti, take plus. In a contrary situation in respect of these 6
Grahas, take minus. As far as Budh is concerned, it is always plus. Krantis (or
declinations) can be ascertained from a standard modern ephemeris. Surya’s Ayan
Bal is again multiplied by 2 whereas for others the product arrived in Virupas
is considered, as it is. 18. Motional Strength for Surya and Candr. Surya’s
Chesht Bal will correspond to his Ayan Bal. Candr’s Paksh Bal will itself be
her Chesht Bal. 19. Drik Bal. Reduce one fourth of the Drishti Pinda, if a Grah
receives malefic Drishtis and add a fourth, if it receives a Drishti from a
benefic. Super add the entire Drishti of Budh and Guru to get the net strength
of a Grah. 20. War Between Grahas. Should there be a war between the starry
Grahas, the difference between the Shad Balas of the two should be added to the
victor’s Shad Bal and deducted from the Shad Bal of the vanquished. 21-23.
Motions of Grahas (Mangal to Sani). Eight kinds of motions are attributed to
Grahas. These are Vakr (retrogression), Anuvakr (entering the previous Rashi in
retrograde motion), Vikal (devoid of motion), Mand (somewhat slower motion than
usual), Mandatar (slower than the previous), Sama (somewhat increasing in
motion), Char (faster than Sama) and Atichar (entering next Rashi in
accelerated motion). The strengths, allotted due to such 8 motions are 60, 30,
15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45 and 30. 24-25. Motional Strength for Mangal etc. Add
together the mean and true longitudes of a Grah and divide the one by two.
Reduce this sum from the Seeghroch (or apogee) of the Grah. The resultant
product will indicate the Chesht Kendra (or Seeghr Kendra) of the Grah from 12
Rashis. The Rashi, degrees and minutes so arrived should be converted into
degrees, minutes etc. and divided by 3, which will denote the motional strength
of the Grah. Thus there are six sources of strength, called Sthan Bal, Dig Bal,
Kaal Bal, Drik Bal, Chesht Bal and Naisargika Bal. 26-29. Bhava Balas. Thus I
explained about the strengths of the Grahas. Deduct Yuvati Bhava from the
Bhava, if the Bhava happens to be in Kanya, Mithun, Tula, Kumbh, or the first
half of Dhanu. If Mesh, Vrishabh, Simh, or first half of Makar, or the second
half of Dhanu happen to be the Bhava, deduct Bandhu Bhava from it. Should the
Bhava be in Kark, or in Vrischik, deduct from it Lagn. Deduct Karm Bhava from
the Bhava, happening to fall in Makar second half, or Meen. Convert the product
so obtained into degrees etc. and divide by 3 to get Bhava Bal. If the balance
in the process of deducting Nadir, Meridian, Lagn, or Yuvati exceeds 6 Rashis,
deduct it again from 12 Rashis, before converting into degrees and dividing by
3. The product after division should be increased by one fourth, if the Bhava
in question receives a benefic Drishti. If the Bhava receives a malefic
Drishti, one fourth should be reduced. If Guru, or Budh give a Drishti to a
Bhava, add that Grah’s Drik Bal also. And then superadd the strength, acquired
by the Lord of that Bhava. This will be the net Bhava Bal. 30-31. Special
Rules. The Bhavas, occupied by Guru and Budh will each get an addition of 1
Rupa, while each of the Bhavas, occupied by Sani, Mangal and Surya, suffer 1
Rupa reduction. 15 Virupas will have to be added to the Bhavas, falling in
Seershodaya Rashis, if birth happens to be in day time, to the Bhavas, falling
in Dual Rashis, if birth happens to be in twilight and to the Bhavas, falling
in Prishtodaya Rashis, if birth be in night time. 32-33. Shad Bal Requirements.
390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330 and 300 Virupas are the Shad Bal Pindas, needed
for Surya etc. to be considered strong. If the strength exceeds the
above-mentioned values, the Grah is deemed to be very strong. If a Grah has the
required Shad Bal, it will prove favourable to the native by virtue of its
strength. However, Sani’s extreme strength will give long life as well as
miseries. 34-36. Guru, Budh and Surya are strong, if each of their Sthan Bal,
Dig Bal, Kaal Bal, Chesht Bal and Ayan Bal are, respectively, 165, 35, 50, 112
and 30 Virupas. The same required for Candr and Sukr are 133, 50, 30, 100 and
40. For Mangal and Sani these are 96, 30, 40, 67 and 20. 37-38. Bhava Effects.
O Brahmin, thus the various sources of strengths be gathered together and
effects declared. Whatever Yogas, or effects have been stated with respect to a
Bhava, will come to pass through the strongest Grah. 39-40. Eligibility of
Issue Fruitful Predictions. O Maitreya, the words of one, who has achieved
skill in mathematics, one, who has put in industrious efforts in the branch of
grammar, one, who has knowledge of justice, one, who is intelligent, one, who
has knowledge of geography, space and time, one, who has conquered his senses,
one, who is skilfully logical (in estimation) and one, who is favourable to
Jyotish, will doubtless be truthful.
Ch. 28. Isht and Kasht Balas
1. Now I narrate the benefic and malefic tendencies of the
Grahas, based on which the Dasha effects can be decided. 2. Exaltation Rays. Deduct
the Grah’s debilitation point from its actual position. If the sum exceeds 6
Rashis, deduct from 12 Rashis. The said sum should then be increased by 1
Rashi. The degrees etc. be multiplied by 2, which, when considered along with
Rashis, will indicate the Uchch Rasmi of the Grah. 3-4. Chesht Rasmi. Chesht
Rasmis are to be calculated from Chesht Kendr similar to Uchch Rasmi
computations. The Chesht Kendras of Grahas from Mangal to Sani have already
been explained. Add 3 Rashis to Sayan Surya (i.e. with Ayanans), which will be
the Chesht Kendr for Surya. The sidereal longitude of Surya should be deducted
from Candr to get Candr’s Chesht Kendr. If the Chesht Kendr (for any Grah) is
in excess of 6 Rashis, deduct it from 12 Rashis. Add 1 Rashi and multiply the
degrees etc. by 2, which will indicate the Chesht Rasmi of the Grah. 5. Benefic
and Malefic Rays. Add the Uchch Rasmis and Chesht Rasmis together and divide by
two. The result will be auspicious rays (Subh Rasmis). Deduct from 8 the Subh
Rasmis to obtain inauspicious rays (Asubh Rasmis). 6. Isht and Kasht
Tendencies. Reduce 1 from each of Chesht Rasmi and Uchch Rasmi. Then multiply
the products by 10 and add together. Half of the sum will represent the Isht
Phala (benefic tendency) of the Grah. Reduce Isht Phala from 60 to obtain the
Grah’s Kasht Phala (malefic tendency). 7-9. Isht and Kasht and Sapt Varg Phal.
60, 45, 30, 22, 15, 8, 4, 2 and 0 are the Subhankas (Subha Griha Pankthis,
benefic points), due to a Grah’s placement, respectively, in exaltation,
Mooltrikon, own, great friend’s, friend’s, neutral, enemy’s, great enemy’s and
debilitation Rashi. If Subhanka is deducted from 60, Asubhanka (Asubh Pankthi,
inauspicious points) will emerge. O Brahmin, in other Vargas these are halved.
10. A Grah is considered auspicious in the first five of the said places. In
the sixth place it is neutral, i.e. neither good nor bad. And in the other
three places it is inauspicious. 11-12. Nature of Effects, due to Dig Bal etc.
The directional strength of a Grah is itself representative of the effects, due
to the direction; and Kaal Bal itself is indicative of effects, due to the day.
Whatever quantum of Dig Bal etc. are obtained by a Grah, will be the extent of
auspicious effects, acquirable on account of that strength. Deducting those
figures from 60, the extent of inauspiciousness is known. If auspiciousness is
more in the case of a Grah’s strength, the Dasha and Bhavas, related to that
Grah will be auspicious. These are converse, if inauspiciousness is
predominant. 13-14. Sapt Varg Phal and Isht and Kasht (Continued). The various
strengths (i.e. the other 6 Vargas) be multiplied by the respective Grah’s Shad
Bal Pinda, which will indicate the auspiciousness of the Varg concerned.
Auspicious, or inauspicious aspect will be by multiplying the Subh, or Asubh
Pankthi. Similarly auspicious, or inauspicious effects will be known by
multiplying the auspicious, or inauspicious strength by the respective Pankthi.
15-20. Effects of a Bhava. The strength of a Bhava and its Lord have already
been explained. The actual effects will be a combination of Bhava strength and
its Lord’s strength. If there is a benefic in the Bhava add the same to the
auspicious effects and deduct from inauspicious effects, which will denote the
inauspicious effects. If a malefic is in the Bhava, reverse the process, i.e.
add inauspicious effects and deduct auspicious effects. Similarly Drishtis and
Balas. If a Grah is exalted, or with such a dignity, add auspicious effects and
reduce inauspicious effects. For debilitation etc. it is converse. In Ashtak
Varg add Bindus (auspicious points) and deduct Karanas (inauspicious points).
If a Bhava extends to two Rashis, the rectification will be done, as per both
the Lords. In that case, whichever Rashi has more Bindus, that Rashi will yield
more favourable results, concerning that Bhava. If both the Rashis have more
auspicious Bindus, take the average. Thus the auspicious and inauspicious
effects of a Bhava be understood.
Ch. 29. Bhava Padas
1-3. Method of Bhava Calculation. O Brahmin, I shall now
tell you about the Padas (Arudhas) for Bhavas and Grahas as well, as laid down
by the earlier Maharishis. The Pad of Lagn will correspond to the Rashi,
arrived at by counting so many Rashis from Lagn’s Lord, as he is away from Tanu
Bhava. Similarly Padas for other Bhavas be known through their Lords. The word
“Pad” exclusively denotes the Pad for Lagn. Names of the 12 Arudhas are Lagn
Pad - Arudh of Tanu Bhava, Dhan of Dhan, Vikram (Bhratru) of Sahaj, Matru
(Sukh) of Bandhu, Mantra (Putr) of Putr, Rog (Satru) of Ari, Dar (Kalatr) of
Yuvati, Maran of Randhr, Pitru of Dharm Bhava, Karm of Karm, Labh of Labh,
Vyaya of Vyaya. 4-5. Special Exceptions. The same Bhava, or the 7th from it
does not become its Pad. When the Pad falls in the same Bhava, the 10th
therefrom be treated, as its Pad. Similarly, when the 7th becomes the Pad of a
Bhava, the 4th from the original Bhava in question be treated, as its Pad. If
the ruler of a Bhava be in the 4th from the Bhava, then the very Bhava occupied
be noted, as the Pad. 6-7. Padas for Grahas. Note the position of a Grah and
see how many Rashis away is its own Rashi with reference to its position. Count
so many Rashis from the said own Rashi and the resultant Rashi will become the
Arudh of the Grah. If a Grah owns two Rashis, or, if a Rashi is owned by two
Grahas; consider the stronger and declare effects accordingly. 8-11. Pad and
Finance (up to Sloka 15). O Brahmin, I now tell you of some effects of Grahas,
based on Pad. If the 11th from Lagn Pad is occupied, or receives a Drishti from
a Grah the native will be happy and rich; wealth will come through various
means, if a benefic is related, as above. A malefic will confer wealth through
questionable means. If there be both a benefic and a malefic, it will be
through both means. If the Grah in question be in exaltation, or in own Rashi
etc., there will be plenty of gains and plenty of happiness. 12. O excellent of
the Brahmins, if the 12th from Lagn Pad does not receive a Drishti, as the 11th
from Lagn Pad receives a Drishti from a Grah, then the gains will be
uninterrupted. 13-15. O Brahmin, the quantum of gains will correspond to the
number of Grahas in, or giving a Drishti to the 11th from Lagn Pad. If there is
Argala for the said 11th, there will be more gains, while a benefic Argala will
bring still more gains. If the said benefic, causing Argala is in his
exaltation Rashi, the gains will be still higher. If the said 11th receives a
Drishti from a benefic from Lagn, the 9th etc., gains will increase in the
ascending order. In all these cases, the 12th from Pad should simultaneously be
free from malefic association. A benefic, placed in Lagn, giving a Drishti to
the 11th from Arudh Lagn will be still beneficial. If the Drishti is from the
9th from Lagn, it will confer much more gains. 16-17. Pad and Financial Losses
(up to Sloka 21). If the 12th from Lagn Pad receives a Drishti from, or is yuti
with both benefics and malefics, there will be abundant earnings, but plenty of
expenses. The benefic will cause through fair means, malefic through unfair
means and mixed Grahas through both fair and unfair means. 18. If the 12th from
Lagn Pad is conjunct Surya, Sukr and Rahu, there will be loss of wealth through
the king. Candr, giving a Drishti to (the said trio in the said Bhava), will
specifically cause more such losses. 19. If Budh is in the 12th from Lagn Pad
and is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, similarly there will be
expenses through paternal relatives. A malefic so related to the said Budh will
cause loss of wealth through disputes. 20. O Brahmin, if Guru is in the 12th
from Lagn Pad, receiving a Drishti from others, the expenses will be through
taxes and on the person himself. 21. O Brahmin, if Sani is in the 12th from
Lagn Pad along with Mangal and receives a Drishti from others, the expenses
will be through one’s co-born. 22. Gainful Sources. Whatever sources of
expenses are indicated above with reference to the 12th from Lagn Pad, gains
through similar sources will occur, if Labh Bhava so features with reference to
Lagn Pad. 23. The 7th Bhava from Pad (up to Sloka 27). If Rahu, or Ketu is
placed in the 7th from Lagn Pad, the native will be troubled by disorders of
the stomach, or by fire. 24. Should there be Ketu in the 7th from Lagn Pad,
receiving a Drishti from, or being yuti with another malefic, the native will
be adventurous, will have (prematurely) grey hair and a big male organ. 25.
Should one, two, or all three of Guru, Sukr and Candr be in the 7th from Lagn
Pad, the native will be very wealthy. 26. Whether a benefic, or a malefic, if
be exalted in the 7th from Lagn Pad, the native will be affluent and be famous.
27. O Brahmin, these Yogas, as narrated by me with reference to the 7th from
Lagn Pad, should also be considered from the 2nd of Lagn Pad. 28. Anyone of
Budh, Guru and Sukr being exalted in the 2nd from Lagn Pad and being with
strength will make the subject rich. 29. The Yogas so far stated by me with
reference to Lagn Pad be similarly evaluated from Karakans as well. 30-37.
General. If Budh is in the 2nd from Arudh Lagn, the native will Lord over the
whole country. Sukr in the 2nd from Lagn Pad will make one a poet, or a
speaker. If the Dar Pad falls in an angle, or in a trine, counted from Lagn
Pad, or, if Lagn Pad and Dar Pad both have strong Grahas, the native will be
rich and be famous in his country. If the Dar Pad falls in the 6th/ 8th/12th
from Lagn Pad, then the native will be poor. If Lagn Pad and the 7th therefrom,
or an angle, a trine, an Upachaya therefrom is occupied by a strong Grah, there
will be happiness between the husband and wife. If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are
mutually in Kendras, or Konas, there will be amity between the couple. If these
be in mutually 6th/8th/12th, doubtlessly mutual enmity will crop up. O Brahmin,
similarly mutual relationship, or gain, or loss through son etc. be known,
based on Lagn Pad and the relative Bhava Pad. If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are
mutually angular, or 3rd and 11th, or in Konas, the native will be a king,
ruling the earth. Similar deductions be made with reference to mutual positions
of Lagn Pad and Dhan Pad.
Ch. 30. Upa Pad
1-6. O Brahmin, now I tell you about Upa Pad, the
auspiciousness of which will confer on the native happiness from progeny, wife
etc. The Pad of Lagn, as discussed earlier, is of prime importance. Upa Pad is
calculated for the Bhava, following the natal Lagn. This Upa Pad is also called
Gaun Pad. O excellent of the Brahmins, if Upa Pad is yuti with, or receives a
Drishti from a benefic Grah, one will obtain full happiness from progeny and
spouse. Should the Upa Pad be in a malefic’s Rashi, or receives a Drishti from,
or is yuti with a malefic, one will become an ascetic and go without a wife. If
(in the said circumstances) there be a benefic Drishti (on Upa Pad, or the
related malefic), or a yuti, deprival of spouse will not come to pass. In this
case Surya, being exalted, or in a friendly Rashi, is not a malefic. He is a
malefic, if in debilitation, or in an enemy’s Rashi. Notes. Regarding Upa Pad
calculations, there are more than two views on the same Sloka of Maharishi
Parashar, or an identical Sutra from Jaimini. In this text, the word ‘Anuchar’
is used, which denotes ‘the Bhava, following the Lagn at birth’. Normally this
is Vyaya Bhava. However, when we study other commentaries on Jaimini
(Chaukhambh Hindi edition), we are taught, that it is Vyaya Bhava in the case
of an odd Rashi ascending and it is Dhan Bhava in the case of an even Rashi
ascending. Accordingly the Pad for the 12th, or the 2nd from Lagn is called Upa
Pad. In calculating Upa Pad the rules mentioned in verses 4 and 5 of the
previous chapter be kept in mind. 7-12. Effect from the 2nd from Upa Pad. If
the 2nd from Upa Pad is a benefic Rashi, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti
with a benefic, the same good results (as for wife and sons) will come to pass.
If there is a Grah in the 2nd from Upa Pad in its debilitation Rashi, or
debilitation Ans, or is yuti with a debilitated, or malefic Grah, there will be
destruction of wife. If the said occupant be in its exaltation Rashi, or
Navans, or receives a Drishti from another Grah, there will be many charming
and virtuous wives. Oh Brahmin, if Mithun happens to be the 2nd from Upa Pad,
then also there will be many wives. O excellent of the Brahmins, if the Upa
Pad, or the 2nd therefrom be occupied by its own Lord, or, if the said Lord is
in his other own Bhava, the death of wife will be at advanced age. 13-15. Wife
from the 2nd of Upa Pad (up to Sloka 22). If a Grah being constant indicator of
wife (i.e. the 7th Lord, or Sukr) is in its own Bhava, there will be loss of
wife only at a later stage. If the Lord of Upa Pad, or the constant
significator of wife is in exaltation, the wife will be from a noble family. Reverse
will be the case, if he is debilitated. O Brahmin, if the 2nd from Upa Pad is
related to a benefic, the wife will be beautiful, fortunate and virtuous. 16.
Should Sani and Rahu be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, the native will lose his wife
on account of calumny, or through death. 17. The native’s wife will be troubled
by disorder of blood, leucorrhoea (Pradar) etc., if Sukr and Ketu are in the
2nd from Upa Pad. 18. Budh with Ketu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will cause
breakage of bones, while Rahu, Sani and Surya will cause distress of bones.
19-22. Budh and Rahu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will give a stout-bodied wife. If
the 2nd from Upa Pad happens to be one of Budh’s Rashis and is tenanted by
Mangal and Sani, the wife of the native will suffer from nasal disorders.
Similarly a Rashi of Mangal, becoming the 2nd from Upa Pad and occupied by
Mangal and Sani, will cause nasal disorders to one’s wife. Guru and Sani will,
if be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, cause disorders of ears and/or eyes to the wife.
If Budh and Mangal are placed in the 2nd from Upa Pad other than their own
Rashis, or, if Rahu is with Guru in the 2nd from Upa Pad, the native’s wife
will suffer from dental disorders. Sani and Rahu together in one of Sani’s
Rashis, which is the 2nd from Upa Pad, will cause lameness, or windy disorders
to the native’s wife. These evils will not come to pass, if there happens to be
a Yuti with, or a Drishti from a benefic (or from another benefic in the case
of affliction being caused by a benefic himself). 23-23½. O Brahmin, all these
effects be deduced from the natal Lagn, Lagn Pad, the 7th from Upa Pad and the
Lords thereof. So say Narada and others. 25-28. About Sons. If Sani, Candr and
Budh are together in the 9th from one of the said places (Sloka 23), there will
be no son at all, while Surya, Guru and Rahu so placed will give a number of
sons. Candr so placed will give a son, while a mixture of Grahas will delay the
obtainment of a son. The son, caused by the Yuti of Surya, Guru and Rahu, will
be strong, valorous, greatly successful and will destroy enemies. If Mangal and
Sani are in the said 9th, there will be no son, or a son will be obtained by
adoption, or brother’s son will come in adoption. In all these cases odd Rashis
will yield many sons, while even Rashis will cause only a few. 29-30. Many Sons
and Many Daughters. O Brahmin, if Simh happens to be Upa Pad and receives a
Drishti from Candr, there will be a limited number of children. Similarly Kanya
will cause many daughters. 31. Co-born form Lagn Pad (up to Sloka 36). Rahu and
Sani in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagn Pad will destroy the co-born of the
native. Rahu and Sani in the 11th will indicate the destruction of elder
brothers and/or sisters and in the 3rd younger ones. 32. If Sukr is in the 3rd,
or the 11th from Lagn Pad, there would have been an abortion to the mother
earlier. Same is the effect, if Sukr is in the 8th from natal Lagn, or from
Lagn Pad. 33-36. These are the effects, o Brahmin, as stated by Maharishis for
the 3rd and the 11th from Lagn Pad. Should Candr, Guru, Budh and Mangal be in
the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagn Pad, there will be many valorous co-born. Should
Sani and Mangal be in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagn Pad, or give Drishtis
thereto, younger and elder co-born will, respectively, be destroyed. If Sani is
alone in one of the said Bhavas, the native will be spared, while the co-born
will die. Ketu in the 3rd, or the 11th will give abundant happiness from one’s
sisters. 37. Other Matters from Lagn Pad (up to Sloka 43). If the 6th from Lagn
Pad is occupied by a malefic and is bereft of a Yuti with, or a Drishti from a
benefic, the native will be a thief. 38. If Rahu is in the 7th, or the 12th
from Lagn Pad, or gives a Drishti to one of the said Bhavas, the native will be
endowed with spiritual knowledge and be very fortunate. 39. If Budh is in Lagn
Pad, the native will Lord over a whole country, while Guru will make him a
knower of all things. Sukr in this context denotes a poet/speaker (also see Ch.
29, verse 30). 40. O excellent of the Brahmins, if benefics occupy the 2nd from
Upa Pad, or from Lagn Pad, the native will be endowed with all kinds of wealth
and be intelligent. 41. One will surely become a thief, if the Lord of the 2nd
from Upa Pad is in Dhan Bhava and is there yuti with a malefic Grah. 42-43. O
Brahmin, if Rahu is in the 2nd from the Lord of the 7th, counted from Upa Pad,
the native will have long and projected teeth. Ketu in the 2nd from the Lord of
the 7th, counted from Upa Pad, will cause stammering and Sani in the 2nd from the
Lord of the 7th, counted from Upa Pad, will make one look ugly. Mixed will be
the effects, if there are mixed Grahas.
Ch. 31. Argala, or Intervention from Grahas
1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have told of auspicious
effects, related to Argala. Kindly narrate its conditions and effects. 2-9.
Formation of Argala. Maitreya, I explain below Argala to know the definite
effects of Bhavas and Grahas. Grahas in the 4th, 2nd and the 11th cause
Argalas, while obstructors of the Argala will be those in the 10th, 12th and
3rd from a Bhava, or a Grah. If the Argala causing Grah is stronger than the
obstructing one, the former will prevail. Or, if the number of Argalas are more
than the obstructing Grahas, then also the Argala will prevail. If there are 3,
or more malefics in the 3rd they will cause Vipreet Argala (more effective
intervention), which will also be harmless and be very favourable. The 5th is
also an Argala place, while the Grah in the 9th will counteract such Argala. As
Rahu and Ketu have retrograde motions, the Argalas and obstructions be also
counted accordingly in a reverse manner. Maharishis say, that the Argala,
caused by one Grah, will yield limited effect, by two medium and by more than
two, excellent effects. Argalas should be counted from a Rashi, or a Grah, as
the case may be. The Argala, which is unobstructed will be fruitful, while the
one duly obstructed will go astray. The Argala effects will be derived in the
Dasha periods of the Rashi, or Grah concerned. Notes. ‘Argala’ in Sanskrit is
figuratively used to denote an impediment, or obstruction. Some suggest, that
the Argala obstruction places are countable from the Argala place instead of
from the original place, or Grah. This is not logical and a glance into Gochar
Vedha (obstructions during transits) will confirm our findings. 10. Special.
The Argala, caused by placement of a Grah in the first one fourth part of the
Rashi, is countered by another, placed in the 4th quarter of the respective
obstructive Rashi. Similarly 2nd quarter’s Argala is eliminated by the 3rd
quarter placement of another Grah. Notes. If the Argala causing Grah and the
obstructing Grah are in the respective quarters, the obstruction will come to
pass. Otherwise not. 11-17. Argala Effects. Should there be Argala for the Arudh
Pad, for the natal Lagn and for the 7th from both, the native will be famous
and fortunate. A malefic, or a benefic, causing unobstructed Argala, giving a
Drishti to Lagn will make one famous. Similarly a malefic, or a benefic,
causing unobstructed Argala, giving a Drishti to Dhan Bhava denotes acquisition
of wealth and grains, to Sahaj Bhava happiness from co-born, to Bandhu Bhava
residences, quadrupeds and relatives, to Putr Bhava sons, grand sons and
intelligence, to Ari Bhava fear from enemies, to Yuvati Bhava abundant wealth
and marital happiness, to Randhr Bhava difficulties, to Dharm Bhava fortunes,
to Karm Bhava royal honour, to Labh Bhava gains and to Vyaya Bhava expenses.
The Argala by benefics will give various kinds of happiness, while benefic
effects will be meddling with malefic Argalas. Argala by both benefics and
malefics will yield results. Notes. 1. Argala can be caused by a benefic, which
is known, as Subh Argala. This Argala can be from a malefic also, so that the
benefic, causing Argala, stalls the malefic role. If the benefic’s Argala is
obstructed by another, then the benefic will become ineffective in Argala and
the first-mentioned malefic will operate freely. 2. Argala can be by a malefic
with reference to a benefic, so that the native does not enjoy good effects,
due to the benefic. This is Pap (malefic) Argala. If the Argala is eliminated
by a benefic, or a malefic, then the first mentioned benefic will be at liberty
to act, according to his own disposition. 18. Should there be (unobstructed)
Argala for Lagn, Putr and Dharm Bhava, the native will doubtlessly become a
king and fortunate.
Ch. 32. Karakatwas of the Grahas
1-2. I now detail below Atma Karak etc., obtainable from
among the 7 Grahas, viz. Surya to Sani. Some say, that Rahu will become a
Karak, when there is a state of similarity in terms of longitude between (two)
Grahas. Yet some say, that the 8 Grahas, including Rahu, will have to be
considered irrespective of such a state. 3-8. Atma Karak Defined. Among the
Grahas from Surya etc. whichever has traversed maximum number of degrees in a
particular Rashi is called Atma Karak. If the degrees are identical, then the
one with more minutes of arc and, if the minutes are also identical, then the
one with higher seconds of arc, have to be considered. In that case these three
are called Anthya Karak, Madhya Karak and Upakheta. In the case of Rahu deduct
his longitude in that particular Rashi from 30. The Karakas will have to be
decided, as above and, as per further rules given below. Out of these Karakas,
Atma Karak is the most important and has a prime say on the native, just as the
king is the most famous among the men of his country and is the head of all
affairs and is entitled to arrest and release men. 9-12. Importance of Atma
Karak. O Brahmin, as the minister cannot go against the king, the other
Karakas, viz. Putr Karak, Amatya Karak etc. cannot predominate over Atma Karak
in the affairs of the native. If the Atma Karak is adverse, other Karakas
cannot give their benefic effects. Similarly, if Atma Karak is favourable,
other Karakas cannot predominate with their malefic influences. 13-17. Other
Karakas. The Grah next to Atma Karak in terms of longitude is called Amatya
Karak. Similarly following one another in terms of longitude are Bhratru Karak,
Matru Karak, Pitru Karak, Putr Karak, Gnati Karak and Stri Karak. These are
Char Karakas, or inconstant significators. Some consider Matru Karak and Putr
Karak, as identical. If two Grahas have the same longitude, both become the same
Karak, in which case there will be a deficit of one Karak. In that circumstance
consider constant significator in the context of benefic/malefic influence for
the concerned relative. 18-21. Constant Karakatwas. I narrate below the
constant Karakatwas, as related to the Grahas. The stronger among Surya and
Sukr indicates the father, while the stronger among Candr and Mangal indicates
the mother. Mangal denotes sister, brother-in-law, younger brother and mother.
Budh rules maternal relative, while Guru indicates paternal grand father.
Husband and sons are, respectively, denoted by Sukr and Sani. From Ketu note
wife, father, mother, parents-in law and maternal grand father. These are
constant Karakatwas. 22-24. Bhavas Related. These constant significances are
derivable from the Bhavas, counted from the said constant Karakatwas. The 9th
from Surya denotes father, the 4th from Candr mother, the 3rd from Mangal
brothers, the 6th from Budh maternal uncle, the 5th from Guru sons, the 7th
from Sukr wife and the 8th from Sani death. The learned should consider all
these and declare related effects accordingly. 25-30. Yog Karakas. O Brahmin, I
make below a passing reference to Yog Karakas (mutual co-workers). Grahas
become Yog Karakas, if they are in mutual angles identical with own Rashis,
exaltation Rashis, or friendly Rashis. In Karm Bhava a Grah will be
significantly so. Grahas simply (not being in friendly, own, or exaltation
Rashis) in Lagn, Bandhu and Yuvati Bhava do not become such Yog Karakas. Even,
if they be placed in other Bhavas, but with such dignities, as mentioned, shall
become Yog Karakas. With such Grahas even a person of mean birth will become a
king and be affluent. One born of royal scion, then will surely become a king.
Thus the effects be declared, considering the number of such Grahas and the
order the native belongs to. 31-34. Bhava Significance. I now narrate the
significance of the Bhavas. Tanu Bhava denotes the soul (self), Dhan family,
finance, wife etc., Sahaj younger brothers/sisters, Putr progeny and Yuvati
wife. It is also said, that a Grah in Putr becomes a Karak for wife. The
Karakatwas of the Bhava in order are Surya, Guru, Mangal, Candr, Guru, Mangal,
Sukr, Sani, Guru, Budh, Guru and Sani. 35-37. O excellent of the Brahmins,
after knowing the merits of Tanu Bhava etc. the good and bad effects can be
declared. Ari, Randhr and Vyaya are Trikas, Dusthan, or malefic Bhavas. Sahaj,
Ari, Karm and Labh are Upachayas. Dhan, Putr, Randhr and Labh are Panapharas
and Sahaj, Ari, Dharm and Vyaya are Apoklimas. Association with Trikas will
inflict evils. Kendras and Konas (Putr and Dharm) are auspicious Bhavas, the
association with which turns even evil into auspiciousness. (Also see Ch. 34
for more information)
Ch. 33. Effects of Karakans
1. O Brahmin, as laid down by Lord Brahma, I now tell you
about the effects of Karakans identical with Mesh etc. (Karakans is the Navans,
occupied by the Atma Karak Grah) 2-8. Karakans in Various Rashis. If Atma Karak
happens to be in Mesh Navans, there will be nuisance from rats and cats at all
times. A malefic joining will further increase the nuisance. Should Atma Karak
be in Vrishabh Navans, happiness from quadrupeds will result. Should Atma Karak
be in Mithun Navans, the native will be afflicted by itch etc. Should Atma
Karak be in Kark Navans, there will be fear from water etc. If Atma Karak
happens to be in Simh Navans, fear will be from tiger etc. If Atma Karak
happens to be in Kanya Navans, itch, corpulence, fire etc. will cause trouble,
while, if Atma Karak is in Tula Navans, he will make one a trader and skilful
in making robes etc. Vrischik Navans, holding Atma Karak, will bring troubles
from snakes etc. and also affliction to mother’s breasts. There will be falls
from height and conveyances etc., if it is Dhanu Navans, that is occupied by
Atma Karak. Makar Navans in this respect denotes gains from water dwelling
beings and conch, pearl, coral etc. If it is Kumbh Navans, holding Atma Karak,
the native will construct tanks etc. And in Meen Navans the Atma Karak will
grant final emancipation. The Drishti of a benefic will remove evils, while
that of a malefic will cause no good. 9-11. O Brahmin, if there be only
benefics in Karakans and the Navans of Lagn receives a Drishti from a benefic,
the native will undoubtedly become a king. Should the Kendras/Konas from the
Karakans be occupied by benefics, devoid of malefic association, the native
will be endowed with wealth and learning. The combination of benefic and
malefic influence will in this context yield mixed results. If the Upakheta
(UpaGrah, vide Ch.32 Sloka 5) is in its exaltation, or own, or friendly Rashi
and is devoid of a Drishti from a malefic, the native will go to heaven after
death. 12. If the Atma Karak is in the divisions of Candr, Mangal, or Sukr, the
native will go to others wives. Otherwise the contrary will prevail. 13-18.
Effects of Grahas in the Karakans. O Brahmin, if Surya is in the Karakans, the
native will be engaged in royal assignments. If the full Candr is there, he
will enjoy pleasures and be a scholar, more so, if Sukr gives a Drishti to the
Karakans. If strong Mangal is in Karakans, he will use the weapon spear, will
live through fire and be an alchemist. Should strong Budh be Karakans, he will
be skilful in arts and trading, be intelligent and educated. Guru in Karakans
denotes one, doing good acts, endowed with spiritualism and Vedic learning. One
will be endowed with a longevity of 100 years, be sensuous and will look after
state affairs, if Sukr is in Karakans. Sani in Karakans will give such
livelihood, as due to the natives family. Rahu in Karakans denotes a thief, a
bowman, a machinery maker and a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions. If Ketu
be in Karakans, one will deal in elephants and be a thief. 19-22. Rahu-Surya in
Karakans. Should Rahu and Surya be in Karakans, there will be fear from snakes.
If a benefic gives a Drishti to Rahu-Surya in Karakans, there will be no fear,
but a malefic Drishti will bring death (through serpents). If Rahu and Surya
occupy benefic Shad Vargas, being in Karakans, one will be a doctor, treating
poisonous afflictions, while the Drishti from Mangal on Rahu-Surya in Karakans
denotes, that the native will burn either his own house, or that of others.
Budh’s Drishti on Rahu-Surya in Karakans will not cause the burning of one’s
own house, but that of others. If Rahu and Surya happen to be in Karakans and
are in a malefic’s Rashi, receiving a Drishti from Guru, one will burn a house
in one’s neighbourhood, while the Drishti of Sukr will not cause such an event.
23-24. Gulik in Karakans. Should the full Candr give a Drishti to Gulik, placed
in the Karakans, the native will lose his wealth to thieves, or will himself be
a thief. If Gulik is in Karakans, but does not receive a Drishti from others, one
will administer poison to others, or will himself die of poisoning. Budh’s
Drishti in this context will give large testicles. 25-29. Effects of Drishtis
on Ketu in Karakans. If Ketu is in Karakans, receiving a Drishti from a
malefic, ones ears will be severed, or one will suffer from diseases of the
ears. Sukr, giving a Drishti to Ketu in Karakans, denotes one, initiated into
religious order. One will be devoid of strength, if Budh and Sani give a
Drishti to Ketu in Karakans. If Budh and Sukr give a Drishti to Ketu in
Karakans, one will be the son of a female slave, or of a female remarried. With
Sani’s Drishti on Ketu in Karakans one will perform penance, or be a servant,
or will be a pseudo-ascetic. Sukr and Surya together, giving a Drishti to Ketu
in Karakans, will make one serve the king. Thus, o Brahmin, are told briefly
the effects of Karakans. 30-31. Effects of the 2nd from Karakans. If the 2nd
from Karakans falls in the divisions of Sukr, or Mangal, one will be addicted
to others’ wives and, if Sukr, or Mangal give a Drishti to the 2nd from
Karakans, the tendency will last till death. If Ketu is the 2nd from Karakans
in a division of Sukr, or Mangal, addiction to other’s wives will not prevail,
while the position of Guru will cause such an evil. Rahu in the 2nd from
Karakans will destroy wealth. 32. Effects of the 3rd from Karakans. A malefic
in the 3rd from Karakans will make one valorous, while a benefic in the 3rd
from Karakans will make one timid. 33-35. Effects of the 4th from Karakans. If
the 4th from Karakans happens to be occupied by Sukr and Candr, one will own
large buildings, like palaces etc. Similar is the effect of an exalted Grah in
the said 4th. A house, made of stones, is denoted by the occupation of the 4th
from Karakans by Rahu and Sani. Mangal and Ketu in the 4th from Karakans
indicate a house, made of bricks, while Guru in the 4th from Karakans denotes a
house, made of wood. Surya in the 4th from Karakans will give a house of grass.
If Candr is in the 4th from Karakans, one will have union with his wife in an
uncompounded house. 36-40. Effects of the 5th from Karakans. If Rahu and Mangal
are in the 5th from Karakans, one will suffer from a pulmonary consumption,
more so, if Candr gives them a Drishti. The Drishti of Mangal on the 5th from
Karakans will bring boils, or ulcers, Ketu’s Drishti on the 5th from Karakans
will cause dysentery and other diseases, caused by (impure) water. If Rahu and
Gulik happen to be in the 5th from Karakans, there will be fear from mean
people and poison. Should Budh be in the 5th from Karakans, the native will be
an ascetic of the highest order, or one, holding staff. Surya in the 5th from
Karakans denotes one, using a knife. Mangal in the 5th from Karakans denotes
one, using a spear. Sani denotes a bowman, if Sani is placed in the 5th from
Karakans. Rahu in the 5th from Karakans denotes a machinist. Ketu in the 5th
from Karakans denotes a watch maker. Sukr in the 5th from Karakans will make
one a poet and an eloquent speaker. 41-45. Effects of Karakans and the 5th from
there. If Guru and Candr are in Karakans, or the 5th thereof, the native will
be an author. Sukr will make one an ordinary writer, while Budh will indicate,
that the writing skills are less than those of an ordinary writer. Should Guru
be alone, one will be a knower of everything, be a writer and be versed in
Vedas and Vedanta philosophy, but not an oratorian, or a grammarian. Mangal
denotes a logician, Budh a Mimamsaka (follower of Karma Mimansa), Sani
indicates, that one is dull-witted in the assembly, Surya denotes, that one is
a musician, Candr denotes a follower of Sankhya philosophy (of Maharishi
Kapila, who enumerated 25 true principles with emphasis on final bliss) and
indicates, that one is versed in rhetorics and singing and Ketu, or Rahu
denotes, that one is a Jyotishi. Should Guru be related to the positions of
Karakans, or the 5th from there, while the Karakans is caused by others than
him, the effects, as stated, will effectively come to pass. Some say, that the
2nd from Karakans should also be similarly considered. 46. Effects of the 6th
from Karakans. If the 6th from Karakans is occupied by a malefic, the native
will be an agriculturist, while he will be indolent, if a benefic is in the 6th
from Karakans. The 3rd from Karakans should also be similarly considered.
47-48. Effects of the 7th from Karakans. If Candr and Guru are in the 7th from
Karakans, the native will beget a very beautiful wife. Sukr in the 7th form
Karakans denotes a sensuous wife, while Budh in the 7th from Karakans indicates
a wife, versed in arts. Surya in the 7th from Karakans will give a wife, who
will be confining domestic core, while Sani in the 7th from Karakans denotes a
wife of a higher age bracket, or a pious and/or sick wife. Rahu in the 7th from
Karakans will bring a widow in marriage. 49. Effects of the 8th from Karakans.
If a benefic, or the Grah, owning the 8th from Karakans, happens to be in the
8th from Karakans, the native will be long-lived, while a malefic, placed in
the 8th from Karakans, will reduce the life span. Drishti/Yuti of both benefics
and malefics will yield a medium span of life. 50-56. Effects of the 9th from
Karakans. If the 9th from Karakans receives a Drishti from, or is occupied by a
benefic, the native will be truthful, devoted to elders and attached to his own
religion. If a malefic gives a Drishti to, or occupies the 9th from Karakans,
one will be attached to his religion in boyhood, but will take to falsehood in
old age. If Sani and Rahu, one will betray his elders and be adverse to ancient
learning. If Guru and Surya, one will betray his elders and will be disobedient
to them. Should Mangal and Sukr give a Drishti to, or occupy the 9th from
Karakans and are joining in six identical Vargas, a female, ill-related to the
native, will die. Budh and Candr giving a Drishti to, or occupying the 9th from
Karakans and joining in six identical Vargas will cause imprisonment of the
native, due to association with a female not of his own. If Guru is alone,
related to the 9th from Karakans by Drishti, or by Yuti, the native will be
addicted to females and be devoted to sensual enjoyments. 57-60. Effects of the
10th from Karakans. If the 10th from Karakans receives a Drishti from, or is
conjoined by a benefic, the native will have firm riches, be sagacious, strong
and intelligent. A malefic, giving a Drishti to the 10th from Karakans, or
occupying this Bhava, will cause harm to his profession and deprive him of
paternal bliss. Budh and Sukr, giving a Drishti to the 10th from Karakans, or
conjoining this Bhava, will confer many gains in business and will make him do
many great deeds. Surya and Candr, giving a Drishti to the 10th from Karakans,
or conjoining this place and receiving a Drishti from, or be in Yuti with Guru,
the native will acquire a kingdom. 61-62. Effects of the 11th from Karakans. If
the 11th from Karakans receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a benefic, the
native will enjoy happiness from co-born apart from gaining in every
undertaking of his. If a malefic is in the 11th from Karakans, the native will
gain by questionable means, be famous and valorous. 63-74. Effects of the 12th
from Karakans. If the 12th from Karakans has a benefic, the expenses will be on
good account, while a malefic in the 12th from Karakans will cause bad expenses.
If the 12th from Karakans is vacant, then also good effects will follow. If
there happens to be a benefic Grah in exaltation, or in own Bhava in the 12th
from Karakans, or, if Ketu is so placed and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti
with a benefic, one will attain heaven after death. One will attain full
enlightenment, if Ketu is in the 12th identical with Mesh, or Dhanu and
receives a Drishti from a benefic. If Ketu is in the 12th from Karakans,
receiving a Drishti from a malefic, or is there yuti with a malefic, one will
not attain full enlightenment. If Surya and Ketu are in the 12th from Karakans,
the native will worship Lord Shiva. Candr and Ketu denotes a worshiper of
Gauri. Sukr and Ketu of Lakshmi and a wealthy person. Mangal and Ketu of Lord
Subramanya. Rahu will make one worship Durga, or some mean deity. Ketu alone
denotes Subramanya’s, or Ganesh’s worshipper. If Sani is in the 12th from
Karakans in a malefic’s Rashi, one will worship mean deities. Sukr and Sani in
the 12th from Karakans in a malefic’s Rashi will also make one worship mean
deities. Similar inferences can be drawn from the 6th Navans, counted from
Amatya Karak’s Navans. 75-76. Miscellaneous Matters (up to Sloka 84). O
Brahmin, if there are two malefics in a Kon from Karakans, the native will have
knowledge of Mantras and Tantras (formulas for the attainment of super-human
powers). If a malefic simultaneously gives a Drishti to two malefics in a Kon
from Karakans, the native will use his learnings of Mantras and Tantras for malevolent
purposes, while a benefic’s Drishti will make him use the learnings for public
good. 77-84½. If Candr is in the Karakans, receiving a Drishti from Sukr, the
native will be an alchemist and, if receiving a Drishti from Budh the native
will be a doctor capable of curing all diseases. If Candr is in the 4th from
Karakans and receives a Drishti from Sukr, the native will be afflicted by
white leprosy. If receiving a Drishti from Mangal, the native will have blood
and bilious disorders and, if receiving a Drishti from Ketu, the native will
suffer from black leprosy. Should Rahu and Mangal be in the 4th, or 5th from
Karakans, the native will suffer from pulmonary consumption and, if
simultaneously there happens to be Candr’s Drishti on the 4th, or the 5th, this
affliction will be certain. Mangal alone in the 4th, or the 5th will cause
ulcers. If Ketu is in the 4th, or the 5th, one will suffer from dysentery and
afflictions, due to (impure) water. Rahu and Gulik will make one a doctor,
curing poisonous afflictions, or will cause troubles through poison. Should
Sani be alone in the 4th, or 5th, the native will be skillful in archery. Ketu
lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one a maker of watches etc. Budh
lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one an ascetic of the highest
order, or an ascetic, holding staff. Rahu, Surya and Mangal, respectively, in
these places denote a machinist, a knife user and a spear, or arrow user.
85-86. Candr and Guru in the Karakans, or in the 5th therefrom denotes a writer
well versed in all branches of learning. The grade of writership will
comparatively descend in the case of Sukr and even further in the case of Budh.
87-92½. Grahas in the 5th from Karakans. Should Sukr be in the 5th from
Karakans, the native will be eloquent and a poet. Guru denotes, that he be an
exponent and be all knowing, but be unable to speak in an assembly. He will be
further a grammarian and a scholar in Vedas and Upanishads. Sani will make one
ineffective in an assembly, while Budh will make him skilful in Karma Mimansa.
Mangal in Karakans, or the 5th therefrom will make one justice, while Candr in
Karakans, or the 5th from there denotes a Sankhya Yogi, a rhetoric, or a
singer. Surya in the 5th from Karakans will make one learned in Vedanta and
music. Ketu will make one a mathematician and skilful in Jyotish. Should Guru
be related to the said Ketu, these learnings will be by inheritance. All these
as well apply to 2nd and 3rd from Karakans and to the Karakans itself apart
from applying to the 5th from Karakans. 93-93½. Should Ketu be in the 2nd, or
3rd from Karakans, the native will be defective in speech, more so, if a
malefic gives a Drishti to Ketu, as above. 94-99. If malefics be in Karakans,
Arudh Lagn and the 2nd and 8th from these places, there will be Kemadrum Yog,
the effects of which will be still severer, if Candr’s Drishti happens to be
there. The effects, due for these Yogas, will come to pass in the Dasha periods
of the Rashis, or Grahas concerned. Kemadrum Yog will operate additionally, if
there are malefics in the 2nd and 8th from the Rashi, whose Dasha will be in
currency. The results of such Yog will also be inauspicious. If the 2nd and 8th
in the Kundali, cast for the beginning of a Dasha, have malefics, then also Kemadrum
prevails throughout the Dasha.
Ch. 34. Yoga Karakas
1. O Brahmin, thus I have told you about the effects,
derivable through Karakans. Now listen to the effects, arising out of lordships
of Grahas over Bhavas. 2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Grahas. Benefics, owning
Kendras, will not give benefic effects, while malefics, owning Kendras, will
not remain inauspicious. The Lord of a Kon will give auspicious results. The
Lord of Lagn is specially auspicious, as Lagn is a Kendr, as well as a Kon.
Putr and Dharm Bhava are specially for wealth, while Yuvati and Karm Bhava are
specially for happiness. Any Grah, owning Sahaj, Ari, or Labh Bhava, will give
evil effects. The effects, due to the Lords of Vyaya and Randhr Bhava, will
depend on their association. In each group the significance will be in the
ascending order. Randhr’s Lord is not auspicious, as he owns the 12th from
Dharm Bhava. If the Lord of Randhr Bhava simultaneously owns Sahaj, Yuvati, or
Labh Bhava, he will prove specifically harmful, while his simultaneous
ownership of a Kon will bestow auspicious effects. The Grah, owning a
predominant Bhava, will stall the effects, due to another, owning a less
significant Bhava and will give his own results. Randhr’s lordship of Surya and
Candr is not evil. 8-10. Natural Benefics and Malefics. Guru and Sukr are
benefics, while Candr is mediocre in benefice and Budh is neutral (a benefic,
when associated with a benefic and a malefic, when related to a malefic).
Malefics are Surya, Sani and Mangal. Full Candr, Budh, Guru and Sukr are
stronger in the ascending order. Weak Candr, Surya, Sani and Mangal are
stronger (in malefic disposition) in the ascending order. In revealing
maleficence, due to rulership of Kendras, Candr, Budh, Guru and Sukr are
significant in the ascending order. 11-12. Lordships of Kendras and Konas. If
there be an exchange between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, or, if a
Lord of a Kendr is yuti with a Lord of a Kon in a Kendr, or in a Kon, or, if a
Lord of a Kon is in a Kendr, or vice versa, or, if there happens to be a full
Drishti between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, they cause a Yog. One
born in such a Yog will become a king and be famous. 13. If one and the same
Grah gets the lordships of a Kon, as well as a Kendr, or, if a Grah is in a
Kendr, or in a Kon, it will prove specially a Yog Karak. 14. Lordship of Kendr.
It has been said, that a malefic, owning a Kendr, will become auspicious, which
is true, only when it simultaneously Lords over a Kon and not by merely owning
a Kendr. 15. If the Lords of a Kendr, or a Kon own simultaneously an evil
Bhava, he does not cause a Raj Yog by mere relations stipulated (as per Ch. 34,
Slokas 11 and 12). 16. Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu give predominantly the
effects, as due to their yuti with a Bhava Lord, or, as due to the Bhava they
occupy. 17. If Rahu and/or Ketu are in Kendr, receiving a Drishti from, or in
association with the Lord of a Kon, or of a Kendr, it will become Yog Karak.
18. O Maharishi Parashar, please narrate, according to the Rashis rising, as to
which Grah is a Yog Karak and which is inauspicious. 19-22. Grahas and Mesh
Lagn. O Brahmin, listen to these with examples. Even though Mangal is the Lord
of Randhr Bhava, he will be helpful to auspicious Grahas. Sani, Budh and Sukr
are malefics. Auspicious are Guru and Surya. The mere Yuti of Sani with Guru
will not produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kon and a Kendr). If
Guru is at the disposal of a malefic, he will surely give inauspicious results.
Sukr is a direct (independent) killer. Sani etc. will also inflict death, if
associated with an adverse Grah (Sukr). 23-24. Grahas and Vrishabh Lagn. Guru,
Sukr and Candr are malefics. Sani and Surya are auspicious. Sani will cause Raj
Yog. Budh is somewhat inauspicious. The Guru group (Guru, Candr and Sukr) and
Mangal will inflict death. 25-26. Grahas and Mithun Lagn. Mangal, Guru and
Surya are malefics, while Sukr is the only auspicious Grah. The Yuti of Guru
with Sani is similar to that for Mesh Lagn. Candr is the prime killer, but it
is dependant on her association. 27-28. Grahas and Kark Lagn. Sukr and Budh are
malefics, Mangal, Guru and Candr are auspicious. Mangal is capable of
conferring a full-fledged Yog and giving auspicious effects. Sani and Surya are
killers and give effects, according to their associations. 29-30. Grahas and
Simh Lagn. Budh, Sukr and Sani are malefics. Auspicious effects will be given
by Mangal, Guru and Surya. Guru’s Yuti with Sukr (though, respectively, Kon and
Kendr Lords) will not produce auspicious results. Sani and Candr are killers,
who will give effects, according to their associations. 31-32. Grahas and Kanya
Lagn. Mangal, Guru and Candr are malefics, while Budh and Sukr are auspicious.
Sukr’s Yuti with Budh will produce Yog. Sukr is a killer as well. Surya’s role
will depend on his association. 33-34. Grahas and Tula Lagn. Guru, Surya and
Mangal are malefics. Auspicious are Sani and Budh. Candr and Budh will cause
Raj Yog. Mangal is a killer. Guru and other malefics will also acquire a disposition
to inflict death. Sukr is neutral. 35-36. Grahas and Vrischik Lagn. Sukr, Budh
and Sani are malefics. Guru and Candr are auspicious. Surya, as well as Candr
are Yog Karakas. Mangal is neutral. Sukr and other malefics acquire the quality
of causing death. 37-38. Grahas and Dhanu Lagn. Only Sukr is inauspicious.
Mangal and Surya are auspicious. Surya and Budh are capable of conferring a
Yog. Sani is a killer, Guru is neutral. Sukr acquires killing powers. 39-40.
Grahas and Makar Lagn. Mangal, Guru and Candr are malefics, Sukr and Budh are
auspicious. Sani will not be a killer on his own. Mangal and other malefics
will inflict death. Surya is neutral. Only Sukr is capable of causing a
superior Yog. 41-42. Grahas and Kumbh Lagn. Guru, Candr and Mangal are
malefics, while Sukr and Sani are auspicious. Sukr is the only Grah, that
causes Raj Yog. Guru, Surya and Mangal are killers. Budh gives meddling
effects. 43-44. Grahas and Meen Bhava. Sani, Sukr, Surya and Budh are malefics.
Mangal and Candr are auspicious. Mangal and Guru will cause a Yog. Though
Mangal is a killer, he will not kill the native (independently). Sani and Budh
are killers. 45-46. General. Thus the auspicious and inauspicious effects,
derivable through the Grahas, due to their lordship, according to the rising
Rashi, have to be estimated. Apart the effects, due to Nabhash Yogas etc.,
should also be known, which I narrate, as under.
Ch. 35. Nabhash Yogas
1-2. O excellent of the Brahmins, explained below are 32
Nabhash Yogas, which have a total of 1800 different varieties. These consist of
3 Asraya Yogas, 2 Dala Yogas, 20 Akriti Yogas and 7 Sankhya Yogas. 3-6. Names
of Nabhash Yogas. The 3 Asraya Yogas are Rajju, Musala and Nala Yogas. The 2
Dala Yogas are Maal and Sarpa. The 20 Akriti Yogas are Gada, Sakat, Shringatak,
Vihag, Hal, Vajr, Kamal, Vapi, Yup, Shar, Shakti, Danda, Nisk, Koot, Chatr,
Dhanushi (Chap), Ardh, Candr, Chakr and Samudr Yogas. The 7 Sankhya Yogas are
Vallaki, Daam, Paash, Kedara, Sool, Yuga and Gola Yogas. Thus these are 32 in
total. 7. Rajju, Musala and Nala Yogas. All the Grahas in Movable Rashis cause
Rajju Yog. All the Grahas in Fixed Rashis cause Musala Yog. All the Grahas in
Dual Rashis cause Nala Yog. 8. Maal and Sarpa Yogas. If 3 Kendras are occupied
by benefics, Maal Yog is produced, while malefics so placed will cause Bhujang,
or Sarpa Yog. These Yogas, respectively, produce benefic and malefic results.
9-11. Gada, Sakat, Vihag, Shringatak, Hal, Vajr and Yav Yogas. If all the
Grahas occupy two successive Kendras, Gada Yog is formed. Sakat Yog occurs,
when all the Grahas are disposed in Lagn and Yuvati Bhava. If all confine to
Bandhu and Karm Bhava, then Vihag Yog occurs. All Grahas in Lagn, Putr and
Dharm Bhava cause Shringatak Yog, while all Grahas in Dhan, Ari and Karm Bhava,
or in Sahaj, Yuvati and Labh Bhava, or in Bandhu, Randhr and Vyaya Bhava cause
Hal Yog. Vajr Yog is caused by all benefics in Lagn and Yuvati Bhava, or all
malefics in Bandhu and Karm Bhava. In a contrary situation, i.e. all benefics
in Bandhu and Karm Bhava, or all malefics in Lagn and Yuvati Bhava, Yav Yog is
generated. 12. Kamal and Vapi Yogas. If all the Grahas are in the 4 Kendras,
Kamal Yog is produced. If all of them happen to be in all the Apoklimas, or in
all the Panapharas, Vapi Yog occurs. 13. Yup, Shar, Shakti and Danda Yogas. If
all the 7 Grahas are in the 4 Bhavas, commencing from Lagn, they cause Yup Yog,
if from Bandhu, Shar Yog occurs, if from Yuvati, Shakti Yog occurs and, if from
Karm, Danda Yog is formed. 14. Nauka, Koot, Chatr and Chap Yogas. If all the
Grahas occupy the seven Bhavas from Lagn, Nauka Yog occurs, if from Bandhu,
Koot Yog is formed, if from Yuvati, Chatr Yog occurs and, if from Karm, Chap
Yog occurs. Here again the Grahas should occupy seven continuous Bhavas. Quoted
from Saravali. If the seven Grahas occupy continuously seven Bhavas, commencing
from a Bhava, which is not angular to the Lagna, the Yoga produced is known, as
Ardh Candra Yoga. 15. Chakr and Samudr Yogas. If all the Grahas occupy six
alternative Rashis, commencing from Lagn, Chakr Yog is formed. Samudr Yog is
produced, if all Grahas occupy six alternative Rashis, commencing from Dhan
Bhava. 16-17. Sankhya Yogas. If all Grahas are in one Rashi, Gola Yog is
formed, if in 2, Yuga Yog is formed, if in 3, Sool Yog occurs, if in 4, Kedara
Yog occurs, if in 5, Paash Yog is formed, if in 6, Daam Yog occurs and, if in
7, Veena Yog is produced. None of these seven Yogas will be operable, if
another Nabhash Yog is derivable. 18. Effects of Nabhash Yogas (up to Sloka
50). Rajju Yog. One born in Rajju Yog will be fond of wandering, be charming,
will earn in foreign countries. He will be cruel and mischievous. 19. Musala
Yog. One born in Musala Yog will be endowed with honour, wisdom, wealth etc.,
be dear to king, famous, will have many sons and be firm in disposition. 20.
Nala Yog. One born in Nala Yog will have uneven physique, be interested in
accumulating money, very skilful, helpful to relatives and charming. 21. Maal
Yog. One born in Maal Yog will be ever happy, endowed with conveyances, robes,
food and pleasures, be splendourous and endowed with many females. 22. Sarpa
Yog. One born in Sarpa Yog will be crooked, cruel, poor, miserable and will
depend on others for food and drinks. 23. Gada Yog. One born in Gada Yog will
always make efforts to earn wealth, will perform sacrificial rites, be skilful
in Shastras and songs and endowed with wealth, gold and precious stones. 24.
Sakat Yog. One born in Sakat Yog will be afflicted by diseases, will have
diseased, or ugly nails, be foolish, will live by pulling carts, be poor and
devoid of friends and relatives. 25. Vihag Yog. One born in Vihag Yog will be
fond of roaming, be a messenger, will live by sexual dealings, be shameless and
interested in quarrels. 26. Shringatak Yog. One born in Shringatak Yog will be
fond of quarrels and battles, be happy, dear to king, endowed with an
auspicious wife, be rich and will hate women. 27. Hal Yog. One born in Hal Yog
will eat a lot, will be very poor, will be miserable, agitated, given up by

Ch. 36. Many Other Yogas
1-2. Benefic and Malefic Yogas. If there be a benefic in
Lagn, Subh Yog is produced, while a malefic in Lagn causes Asubh Yog. Benefics
in both Vyaya and Dhan Bhava cause Subh Yog. Malefics in both Vyaya and Dhan
Bhava cause Asubh Yog. One born in Subh Yog will be eloquent, charming and
virtuous, while his counterpart will be sensuous, will do sinful acts and will
enjoy (swallow) others’ wealth. 3-4. Gaj Kesari Yog. Should Guru be in a Kendr
from Lagn, or from Candr and be yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from benefic,
avoiding at the same time debilitation, combustion and inimical Rashi, Gaj
Kesari Yog is caused. One born in Gaj Kesari Yog will be splendourous, wealthy,
intelligent, endowed with many laudable virtues and will please the king. 5-6.
Amal Yog. If there be exclusively a benefic in the 10th from Lagn, or Candr,
Amal Yog exists. Amal Yog will confer fame, lasting till Candr and stars exist
and will make the native honoured by the king, enjoy abundant pleasures,
charitable, fond of relatives, helpful to others, pious and virtuous. 7-8.
Parvat Yog. Benefics in Kendras will produce Parvat Yog, as Yuvati and Randhr
Bhava are vacant, or are occupied by only benefics. One born in Parvat Yog will
be wealthy, eloquent, charitable, learned in Shastras, fond of mirth, famous,
splendourous and be the leader of a city. 9-10. Kahal Yog. Should Bandhu’s Lord
and Guru be in mutual Kendras, while Lagn’s Lord is strong, Kahal Yog occurs.
Alternatively Bandhu’s Lord, being in his own, or exaltation Rashi, should be
yuti with Karm’s Lord. In effect the native will be energetic, adventurous,
charming, endowed with a complete Army, consisting of chariots, elephants,
horses and infantry and he will Lord over a few villages. 11-12. Chamar Yog. If
Lagn’s Lord is exalted in a Kendr and receives a Drishti from Guru, Chamar Yog
is formed. This Yog also occurs, if two benefics are in Lagn, or Dharm, or
Karm, or Yuvati Bhava. The effects of Chamar Yog are: the native will be a
king, or honoured by the king, long lived, scholarly, eloquent and versed in
all arts. 13-14. Shankh Yog. If Lagn’s Lord is strong, while the Lords of Putr
and Ari Bhava are in mutual Kendras, then what is known, as Shankh Yog, is
produced. Alternatively, if Lagn’s Lord along with Karm’s Lord is in a Movable
Rashi, while Dharm’s Lord is strong, Shankh Yog is obtained. One born with Shankh
Yog will be endowed with wealth, spouse and sons. He will be kindly disposed,
propitious, intelligent, meritorious and long-lived. 15-16. Bhairi Yog. If
Vyaya, Tanu, Dhan and Yuvati Bhava are occupied, as Dharm’s Lord is strong, the
native obtains Bhairi Yog. Again another kind of Bhairi Yog is formed, if Sukr,
Guru and Lagn’s Lord are in a Kendr, while Dharm’s Lord is strong. The results
of Bhairi Yog are: the native will be endowed with wealth, wife and sons. He
will be a king, be famous, virtuous and endowed with good behaviour, happiness
and pleasures. 17. Mridang Yog. If Lagn’s Lord is strong and others occupy
Kendras, Konas, own Bhavas, or exaltation Rashis, Mridang Yog is formed. The
native concerned will be a king, or equal to a king and be happy. 18. Shrinath
Yog. If Yuvati’s Lord is in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is exalted and yuti
with Dharm’s Lord, Shrinath Yog takes place. The native with Shrinath Yog will
be equal to Lord Devendra (god of gods). 19-20. Sharad Yog. Should Karm’s Lord
be in Putr Bhava, while Budh is in a Kendr, as Surya with strength is in Simh,
Sharad Yog is formed. This will again be obtained, if Guru, or Budh is in a Kon
to Candr, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava. One born in either kind of Yog will
obtain wealth, spouse and sons, be happy, scholarly, dear to the king, pious
and virtuous. 21-22. Matsya Yog. Benefics in Dharm and Tanu Bhava, mixed Grahas
in Putr Bhava and malefics in Bandhu and Randhr Bhava: this array of Grahas at
birth will produce Matsya Yog. In effect the native will be a Jyotishi, be a
synonym of kindness, be virtuous, strong, beautiful, famous, learned and pious.
23-24. Kurm Yog. If Putr, Ari and Yuvati Bhava are occupied by benefic Grahas
identical with own Bhava, or exaltation, or friendly Rashi, while malefics are
in Sahaj, Labh and Tanu Bhava, in own Bhava, or in exaltation, Kurm Yog is
formed. The results of Kurm Yog are: the native will be a king. be courageous,
virtuous, famous, helpful, happy. He will be a leader of men. 25-26. Khadg Yog.
Should there be an exchange of Rashis between the Lords of Dhan and Dharm
Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in a Kendr, or in a Kon, Khadg Yog is obtained. One
with Khadg Yog will be endowed with wealth, fortunes and happiness, be learned
in Shastras, be intelligent, mighty, grateful and skilful. 27-28. Lakshmi Yog.
If Dharm’s Lord is in a Kendr identical with his Mooltrikon Rashi, or own
Rashi, or in exaltation, while Lagn’s Lord is endowed with strength, Lakshmi
Yog occurs. The native with Lakshmi Yog will be charming, virtuous, kingly in
status, endowed with many sons and abundant wealth. He will be famous and of
high moral merits. 29-30. Kusum Yog. Sukr in a Kendr, Candr in a Kon along with
a benefic and Sani in Karm Bhava: these Grahas thus cause Kusum Yog for one
born in a Fixed Rashi ascending. Such a native will be a king, or equal to him,
be charitable, will enjoy pleasures, be happy, prime among his race men,
virtuous and red-lettered. 31-32. Kalanidhi Yog. If Guru is placed in Dhan, or
Putr Bhava and receives a Drishti from Budh and Sukr, Kalanidhi Yog is caused.
In effect the native will be virtuous, honoured by the kings, bereft of
diseases, be happy, wealthy and learned. 33-34. Kalpa Drum Yog. Note the
following four Grahas: Lagn’s Lord , the dispositor of Lagn’s Lord (a), the
dispositor of the Grah “a” (b), the Navans dispositor of the Grah “b”. If all
these are disposed in Kendras and in Konas from Lagn, or are exalted, Kalpa
Drum Yog exists. One with Kalpa Drum Yog will be endowed with all kinds of
wealth, be a king, pious, strong, fond of war and merciful. 35-36. Trimurthi
Yogas. Counted from Dhan’s Lord, if benefics occupy the 2nd, 12th and 8th, Hari
Yog is formed. If the 4th, 9th and 8th with reference to the Rashi, occupied by
Yuvati’s Lord, are occupied by benefics, Hara Yog is obtainable. Brahma Yog is
generated, if, counted from Lagn’s Lord, benefics are in the 4th, 10th and 11th
Rashis. One born in anyone of the said three Yogas will be happy, learned and
endowed with wealth and sons. 37. Lagn Adhi Yog. Should benefics be in Yuvati
and Randhr Bhava, counted from Lagn and be devoid of Yuti with and/or Drishti
from malefics, Lagn Adhi Yog is produced, making one a great person, learned in
Shastras and happy. 38-39. Effects of Lagn’s Lord’s Division Dignities. Lagn’s
Lord in Parijatans will make one happy, in Vargottama will give immunity to
diseases, in Gopurans will make one rich with wealth and grains, in Simhasanans
will make one a king, in Paravatans will make one a scholar, in Devalokans will
make one opulent and endowed with conveyances and in Iravatans will make one
famous and honoured by kings. (Vargottama indicates a Grah, occupying the same
Rashi and the same Navans)
Ch. 37. Candr’s Yogas
1. If Candr with reference to Surya is in a Kendr, one’s wealth,
intelligence and skill will be little, if in a Panaphara, will be meddling, if
in a Apoklima, will be excellent. 2-4. In the case of a day birth, if Candr,
placed in its own Navans, or in a friendly Navans, receives a Drishti from
Guru, one will be endowed with wealth and happiness. One born at night time
will enjoy similar effects, if Candr is in its own Navans, or in a friendly
Navans, receiving a Drishti from Sukr. In a contrary situation, the Drishti
from Guru, or from Sukr on Candr will make one go with little wealth, or even
without that. 5. Adhi Yog from Candr. If benefics occupy the 8th, 6th and 7th,
counted from Candr, Adhi Yog obtains. According to the strength of the
participating Grahas, the native concerned will be either a king, or a minister,
or an Army chief. 6. Dhan Yog. Should all the (three) benefics be Upachaya,
counted from Candr, one will be very affluent. With two benefics, placed in the
3rd, the 6th, the 10th and the 11th, one will have medium effects in regard to
wealth. If a single benefic is there, the wealth will be negligible. 7-10.
Sunaph, Anaph and Duradhar. If there is a Grah other than Surya, in the 2nd
from Candr, Sunaph Yog is formed, if in the 12th from Candr, Anaph Yog is
formed and, if in the 2nd and 12th from Candr, Duradhar Yog is caused. One with
Sunaph Yog will be a king, or equal to a king, endowed with intelligence,
wealth, fame and self-earned wealth. One born in Anaph Yog will be a king, be
free from diseases, virtuous, famous, charming and happy. One born in Duradhar
Yog will enjoy pleasures, will be charitable and endowed with wealth,
conveyances and excellent serving force. 11-13. Kema Drum Yog. Excluding Surya,
should there be no Grah with Candr, or in the 2nd and/or 12th from Candr, or in
a Kendr from Lagn, Kema Drum Yog is formed. One born in Kema Drum Yog will be
very much reproached, will be bereft of intelligence, learning, reduced to
penury and perils.
Ch. 38. Surya’s Yogas
1. Vesi, Vosi and Abhayachari Yogas. Barring Candr, if a
Grah among Mangal etc. be in the 2nd from Surya, Vesi Yog is formed, if in the
12th from Surya, Vosi Yog is formed and if in both the 2nd and the 12th from
Surya, Ubhayachari Yog is caused. 2-3. Effects of Vesi, Vosi and Ubhayachari
Yogas. One born in Vesi Yog will be even sighted, truthful, long-bodied,
indolent, happy and endowed with negligible wealth. One born with Vosi Yog will
be skilful, charitable and endowed with fame, learning and strength. The
Ubhayachari native will be a king, or equal to a king and be happy. 4.
Benefics, causing Vesi, Vosi, or Ubhayachari Yogas, will give the
above-mentioned effects, while malefics will produce contrary effects
Ch. 39. Raj Yog
1-2. O excellent of the Brahmins, I now narrate below the
Raj Yogas, making one entitled to royal honour. These were told to Parvati by
Lord Shiva once upon a time, the gist of which is, as follows. 3-5. Raj Yogas
are to be known from the Karakans Lagn and the natal Lagn. On the one hand the
pair of Atma Karak and Putr Karak should be considered and on the other hand
the natal Lagn’s Lord and Putr’s Lord should be taken into consideration. The
effects, due to such association, will be full, or a half, or a quarter,
according to their strengths. 6-7. Maha Raj Yog. Should Lagn’s Lord and Putr’s
Lord exchange their Rashis, or, if Atma Karak and Putr Karak (Char) are in
Lagn, or in Putr Bhava, or in the exaltation Rashi, or in own Rashi, or in own
Navans, receiving a Drishti from a benefic, Maha Raj Yog is produced. The
native so born will be famous and happy. 8. If Lagn’s Lord and Atma Karak are
in Tanu, Putr, or Yuvati Bhava, yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from a
benefic, a Raj Yog is formed. 9-10. Should there be benefics in the 2nd, the
4th and the 5th, counted either from Lagn’s Lord, or from Atma Karak Rashi, one
will become a king. Similarly malefics in the 3rd and 6th from Lagn’s Lord, or
from Atma Karak Rashi will make one a king. 11. One will be related to royal
circles, if Sukr is the Karakans, or in the 5th there from, or in Lagn, or in
Arudh Lagn, receiving a Drishti from, or yuti with Guru, or Candr. 12. Even, if
a single Grah gives a Drishti to the natal Lagn, or Hora Lagn, or Ghatik Lagn,
the native will become a king. 13-14. If the Shad Vargas of Lagn are occupied,
or receive a Drishti from one and the same Grah, a Raj Yog is doubtlessly
formed. Accordingly, if the Drishti is full, half, or one fourth, results will
be in order full, medium and negligible. 15. If the 3 Lagnas (natal, Hora and
Ghatik) are occupied by Grahas in exaltation, or in own Rashi, or, if the natal
Lagn, the Dreshkan Lagn and the Navans Lagn have exalted Grahas, Raj Yog is
formed. 16. If Candr and a benefic are in the Arudh Lang, as Guru is in the 2nd
from the natal Lagn and both these places are receiving Drishtis from Grahas in
exaltation, or Grahas in own Rashi, there will be a Raj Yog. 17. If Lagn, Dhan
and Bandhu Bhava are occupied by benefics, while a malefic is in Sahaj Bhava,
one will become a king, or equal to a king. 18. The native will be wealthy, if
one among Candr, Guru, Sukr and Budh is exalted in Dhan Bhava. 19. If Ari,
Randhr and Sahaj Bhava are occupied by debilitated Grahas, as Lagn’s Lord is
exalted, or is in own Bhava and gives a Drishti to Lagn, there is a Raj Yog.
20. Again a Raj Yog is formed, if Ari’s, Randhr’s and Vyaya’s Lords are in
fall, or in inimical Rashis, or in combustion, as Lagn’s Lord, placed in his
own Rashi, or in its exaltation Rashi, gives a Drishti to Lagn. 21. If Karm’s
Lord, placed in his own Bhava, or in its exaltation Rashi, gives a Drishti to
Lagn, a Raj Yog is formed. Similar is the case, if benefics are in Kendras. 22.
If the Atma Karak Grah is in a benefic’s Rashi/Navans, the native will be
wealthy. If there are benefics in Kendras from Karakans Lagn, he will become a
king. 23. If the Arudh Lagn and Dar Pad are in mutual Kendras, or in mutual
Sahaj/Labh Bhavas, or in mutual Konas, the native will doubtlessly become a
king. 24. If two, or all of Bhava, Hora, Ghatik Lagnas are receiving a Drishti
from exalted Grahas, a Raj Yog is formed. 25. If Bhava, Hora and Ghatik Lagnas,
their Dreshkanas and Navansas, or the said Lagnas and their Navansas, or the
said Lagnas and their Dreshkanas receive a Drishti from a Grah, a Raj Yog is
formed. 26-27. If Arudh Pad is occupied by an exalted Grah, particularly Candr
in exaltation, or by Guru and/or Sukr (with, or without exaltation), while
there is no Argala by a malefic, the native will become a king. If the Arudh
Pad is a benefic Rashi, containing Candr, while Guru is in Dhan Bhava, the same
effect will prevail. 28. Even, if one among Ari’s, Randhr’s and Vyaya’s Lords,
being in debilitation, gives a Drishti to Lagn, there will be a Raj Yog. 29-31.
The native will become a king, if a Grah, ruling Bandhu, Karm, Dhan, or Labh,
gives a Drishti to Lagn, while Sukr gives a Drishti to the 11th from Arudh
Lagn, as Arudh Lagn is occupied by a benefic. The same effect will be obtained,
if a debilitated Grah gives a Drishti to Lagn and is placed in Ari, or Randhr
Bhava. Again similar result will prevail, if a debilitated Grah, placed in
Sahaj, or Labh Bhava, gives a Drishti to Lagn. 32. I now tell you of the Raj
Yogas, based on the Grahas with different dignities and on the Drishtis and
Yutis of the Grahas. 33-34. Dharm’s Lord is akin to a minister and more
especially Putr’s Lord. If these two Grahas mutually give a Drishti, the native
will obtain a kingdom. Even, if these two are yuti in any Bhava, or, if they
happen to be placed in mutually 7th places, one born of royal scion will become
a king. 35. The native will attain a kingdom, if Bandhu’s Lord is in Karm Bhava
and Karm’s Lord is in Bandhu Bhava and, if these Grahas give a Drishti to
Putr’s and Dharm’s Lords. 36. If the Lords of Putr, Karm, Bandhu and Lagn are
yuti in Dharm Bhava, one will become a ruler with fame, spreading over the four
directions. 37. Should the Lord of Bandhu, or of Karm Bhava join either the
Putr’s Lord, or Dharm’s Lord, the native will obtain a kingdom. 38. If Putr’s
Lord is in Lagn, Bandhu, or Karm Bhava, yuti with Dharm’s Lord, or Lagn Lord,
the native will become a king. 39. Should Guru be in his own Rashi identical
with Dharm Bhava and yuti with either Sukr, or Putr’s Lord, the native will
obtain royal status. 40. Two and a half Ghatis from mid-day, or from mid-night
is auspicious time. A birth during such an auspicious time will cause one to be
a king, or equal to him. 41. Should Candr and Sukr be mutually in Sahaj and
Labh Bhava and receiving Drishtis from each other, while they are placed
elsewhere, a Raj Yog is obtained. 42. Should Candr, endowed with strength, be
Vargottans and receives a Drishti from four, or more Grahas, the native will
become a king. 43. One will become a king, if Lagn in Uttamans receives a
Drishti from four, or more Grahas, out of which Candr should not be one. 44. If
one, or two, or three Grahas are in exaltation, one of a royal scion will
become a king, while another will be equal to a king, or be wealthy. 45. If
four, or five Grahas occupy their exaltation Rashis, or Mooltrikon Rashis, even
a person of base birth will become king. 46. If six Grahas are exalted, the
native will become emperor and will enjoy various kinds of royal paraphernalia.
47. Even, if one among Guru, Sukr and Budh is in exaltation, while a benefic is
in a Kendr, the native will become a king, or be equal to him. 48. If all
benefics are relegated to Kendras, while malefics are in Sahaj, Ari and Labh
Bhava, the native, though may be of mean descent, will ascend the throne.
Ch. 40. Yogas For Royal Association
1. If Karm’s Lord is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from
the dispositor of Amatya Karak, or even, if Karm’s Lord is yuti with, or
receives a Drishti from Amatya Karak himself, the native will be a chief in the
king’s court. 2. If Karm and Labh Bhava are devoid of malefic occupation and
devoid of Drishti from a malefic, while Labh Bhava receives a Drishti from its
own Lord, the native will be a chief in the king’s court. 3. Should Amatya
Karak and the dispositor of Atma Karak be together, the native will be endowed
with great intelligence and will be a king’s minister. (‘Karakendr’ is
interpreted here, as the dispositor of Atma Karak. Similarly ‘Amatyesa’ means
the dispositor of Amatya Karak) 4. If Atma Karak is strong and is with a
benefic, or Amatya Karak is in its own Bhava, or in exaltation, one will surely
become a king’s minister. 5. There is no doubt in one’s becoming a king’s
minister and famous, if Atma Karak is in Tanu, or Putr, or Dharm Bhava. 6. If
Atma Karak, or Amatya Karak is placed in a Kendr, or in a Kon, the native will
beget royal mercy, royal patronage and happiness thereof. 7. Should malefics be
in the 3rd and the 6th from Atma Karak, or from Arudh Lagn, or in Sahaj and Ari
Bhava, one will become Army chief. 8. If Atma Karak is in a Kendr, or in a Kon,
or in exaltation, or in its own Bhava and gives a Drishti to Dharm’s Lord, the
native will be a king’s minister. 9. If the Lord of the Rashi, where Candr is
placed becomes Atma Karak and, if this Lord is placed in Tanu Bhava along with
a benefic, the native will become a king’s minister at his advanced age. 10.
Should the Atma Karak be in Putr, Yuvati, Karm, or Dharm Bhava and happen to be
with a benefic, one will earn wealth through royal patronage. 11. If the Arudh
of Dharm Bhava happens to be itself the Janm Lagn, or, if Atma Karak is placed
in Dharm Bhava, the native will be associated with royal circles. 12. One will
gain through royal association, if Labh Bhava is occupied by its own Lord and
is devoid of a Drishti from a malefic. The Atma Karak should at the same time
be yuti with a benefic. 13. An exchange of Rashis between Karm’s Lord and
Lagn’s Lord will make the native associated with the king in a great manner.
14. If Sukr and Candr are in the 4th from Karakans Lagn, the native will be
endowed with royal insignia. 15. Should Lagn’s Lord, or the Atma Karak be yuti
with Putr’s Lord and be in a Kendr, or in a Kon, the native will be a king, or
minister.
Ch. 41. Combinations for Wealth
1. I now tell you of special combinations, giving wealth.
One born to these Yogas will surely become wealthy. 2. Yogas for Great
Affluence (up to Sloka 8). Should a Rashi of Sukr be Putr Bhava and be occupied
by Sukr himself, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava, the native will obtain great
riches. 3. Should a Rashi of Budh be Putr Bhava and be occupied by Budh
himself, as Labh Bhava is occupied by Candr, Mangal and Guru, the native will
be very affluent. 4. Should Simh be Putr Bhava and be occupied by Surya
himself, as Sani, Candr and Guru are in Labh Bhava, the native will be very
affluent. 5. Should Surya and Candr be in Labh Bhava, as Sani is in Putr Bhava
identical with his own Bhava, the native will be very affluent. 6. Should Guru
be in Putr Bhava identical with his own Rashi, as Budh is in Labh Bhava, the
native will be very affluent. 7. If a Rashi of Mangal happens to be Putr Bhava
with Mangal therein, while Sukr is in Labh Bhava, the native will become very
affluent. 8. If Kark happens to be Putr Bhava, containing Candr therein, while
Sani is in Labh Bhava, the native will become very affluent. 9. Yogas for
Wealth (up to Sloka 15). Should Surya be in Simh identical with Lagn and be
yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from Mangal and Guru, one will be wealthy.
10. Should Candr be in Kark identical with Lagn and be yuti with, or receiving
a Drishti from Budh and Guru, one will be wealthy. 11. Should Mangal be in Lagn
identical with his own Rashi and be yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from
Budh, Sukr and Sani, the native will be rich. 12. Should Budh’s Rashi be Lagn
with Budh therein and should Budh be yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from
Sani and Guru, the native will be rich. 13. Should Guru be in Lagn identical
with his own Rashi and be yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from Budh and
Mangal, the native will be rich. 14. If Sukr happens to be in Lagn identical
with his own Rashi and be yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from Sani and Budh,
one will be wealthy. 15. If Sani is in his own Rashi identical with Lagn and
receiving a Drishti from, or being yuti with Mangal and Guru, the native will
be wealthy. 16. Other Qualified Grahas. Dharm’s Lord and Putr’s Lord are
capable of bestowing wealth. Similarly Grahas, yuti with Dharm’s Lord and/or
Putr’s Lord are capable of bestowing wealth. There is no doubt, that these
Grahas will give wealth during their Dasha periods. 17. The Yogas, mentioned
above (up to Sloka 16) should be delineated after knowing favourable, or
unfavourable dispositions of the participant Grahas and their strength and
weakness. 18-19. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of the Lords of Kendras.
If the Lord of a Kendr is in Parijatans, the native will be liberal, if in
Uttamans, will be highly liberal, if in Gopurans, will be endowed with prowess,
if in Simhasanans, will be honourable, if in Paravatans, will be valorous, if
in Devalokans, will be head of an assembly, if in Brahmalokans, will be a sage
and, if in Iravatans, will be delighted and be celebrated in all quarters.
20-22. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Putr’s Lord. If Putr’s Lord is in
Parijatans, the native will take to the branch of learning, befitting his race,
if in Uttamans, will have excellent learning, if in Gopurans, will receive
world-wide honours, if in Simhasanans, will become a minister, if in also
Paravatans, will be endowed with Vedic Knowledge, if in Devalokans, will be a
Karm Yogi (performer of actions, worldly and religious rites), if in
Brahmalokans, will be devoted to the Lord and, if in Iravatans, will be pious.
23-27. Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Dharm’s Lord. If Dharm’s Lord is
in Parijatans, the native will visit holy places, if in Uttamans, has been
visiting holy places in the past births and he will do the same within this
life-time, if in Gopurans, will perform sacrificial rites, if in Simhasanans,
will be mighty and truthful, conquerer of his senses and will concentrate only
on the Brahman, giving up all religions, if in Paravatans, will be the greatest
of ascetics, if in Devalokans, will be an ascetic, holding a cudgel (Lagudi),
or he will be a religious mendicant, that has renounced all mundane attachments
and carrying three long staves, tied together, in his right hand (Tridandin)
and, if in Brahmalokans, will perform Aswamedh Yagya (Horse Sacrifice) and will
attain the state of Lord Indra, if in Iravatans, will be a synonym of Dharma,
or virtues just, as Lord Ram and Yudhishtira. 28. Lords of Kendras and Konas
Related. The Kendras are known, as Vishnu Sthanas (Bhavas of Lord Vishnu),
while the Konas are called Lakshmi Sthanas. If the Lord of a Kendr establishes
a relationship with the Lord of a Kon, a Raj Yog is obtained. (A sixth kind of
relationship can also be extended in this context to Navans positions, though
there is no specific classic sanction for this. For example in the case of a
Makar native Mangal in the Navans of Sukr and Sukr in the Navans of Mangal will
confer a superior Raj Yog. This form of relationship will be equally superior,
like the first 3 relationships, mentioned in the earlier paragraph). 29-34
Effects of the Divisional Dignities of Related Lords of Kendras and Lords of
Konas. If the Lord of a Kendr and the Lord of a Kon, having a relationship, as
indicated in Sloka 28, happen to be in Parijatans, the native will be king and
will protect men, if in Uttamans, will be an excellent king, endowed with
elephants, horses, chariots etc., if in Gopurans, will be a tiger of kings,
honoured by other kings and, if in Simhasanans, will be an emperor, ruling over
the entire earth. With the said Raj Yog relationship of the said Grahas in
Simhasanans were born Harish Candr, Manu, Bali, Agni Deva and many emperors. In
the present Yuga so born is Yudhishtira (Dharm Raj of Mahabharat). Salivahana’s
birth and that of others will also come with this Yog. With such Lords, placed
in Paravatans, Manu etc. were born. The Incarnations of Lord Vishnu took place,
when such Lords were placed in Devalokans. With such Lords, placed in
Brahmalokans, Lord Brahma was born and, placed in Iravatans, the Swayambhu Manu
was born. (Manu is the first of the 14 Manus, identified, as the second
creator, who produced the Prajapatis. To Manu the code of laws, Manu Smriti is
ascribed).
Ch. 42. Combinations for Penury
1. O Lord, you have stated many Yogas, related to
acquisition of wealth. Please tell me such Yogas, causing utter poverty. 2. The
native will be penniless, if Lagn’s Lord is in Vyaya Bhava, while Vyaya’s Lord
is in Lagn along with the Lord of a Marak, or receives a Drishti from such a
Grah. 3. The native will be penniless, if Lagn’s Lord is in Ari Bhava, while
Ari’s Lord is in Lagn, yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from a Marak Lord. 4.
Should Lagn, or Candr be with Ketu, while Lagn’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, the
person concerned will be penniless. 5. If Lagn’s Lord along with a malefic is
in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Dhan’s Lord is in an enemy’s Rashi, or in
debilitation, even a native of royal scion will become penniless. 6. If Lagn’s
Lord is yuti with the Lord of Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or with Sani and, if
Lagn’s Lord is devoid of a Drishti from a benefic, the native will be
penniless. 7. Should Putr’s and Dharm’s Lords be, respectively, found in Ari
and Vyaya Bhava and receive a Drishti from Marak Grahas, the native will be
penniless. 8. If malefics, excepting the Lords of Karm and Dharm Bhava, happen
to be in Lagn, associated with, or receiving a Drishti from Marak Grahas, one
will become penniless. 9. Note the Grahas, that are ruling the Rashis, occupied
by the Lords of Ari, Randhr and Vyaya Bhava. If the said dispositors are in
such evil Bhavas in turn and are associated with, or receive a Drishti from
malefics, the native will be miserable and indigent. 10. The Lord of the
Navans, occupied by Candr, joining a Marak Grah, or occupying a Marak Bhava,
will make one penniless. 11. Should the Lord of the natal Lagn and that of the
Navans Lagn be yuti with, or receive a Drishti from Marak Grahas, one will be
penniless. 12. If inauspicious Bhavas are occupied by benefics, while
auspicious Bhavas are occupied by malefics, the native will be indigent and
will be distressed even in the matter of food. 13. A Grah, associated with one
of the Lords of Ari, Randhr and Vyaya Bhava, being bereft of a Drishti from the
Lord of a Kon, will in its Dasha periods cause harm to the native’s financial
aspects. 14. If the 8th/12th from Atma Karak, or Randhr/Vyaya Bhava receive a
Drishti from the Atma Karak’s Navans Lord and the Lord of Janma Lagn, the
native will be bereft of wealth. 15. The native will be a spendthrift, if the
12th from Atma Karak receives a Drishti from the dispositor of Atma Karak, or,
if Vyaya Bhava receives a Drishti from the Lord of Lagn. 16-18. Now I tell you
some Yogas for poverty along with conditions of their nullifications. Should
Mangal and Sani be together in Dhan Bhava, the native’s wealth will be destroyed.
Should Budh give a Drishti to Mangal and Sani in Dhan Bhava, there will be
great wealth. There is no doubt in it. Surya in Dhan Bhava, receiving a Drishti
from Sani, will cause penury, while, if Surya is in Dhan Bhava and does not
receive a Drishti from Sani, riches and fame will be obtained. The same effects
(poverty) will be declared, if Sani is in Dhan Bhava, receiving a Drishti from
Surya.
Ch. 43. Longevity
1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have dealt with combinations
for wealth and poverty. Kindly detail methods of ascertaining the life-span of
human beings. 2-3. O Brahmin, for the benefit of mankind I narrate methods of
ascertaining longevity. Knowing that longevity is difficult even for gods. Many
exponents have laid down various methods of longevity calculations. Following
is the summary of such schools of thought. 4-8. Pindayu. The Grahas contribute
to longevity, according to their being in exaltation, or debilitation and also
based on their strengths and weaknesses and positions in Ashvini etc. and in
the various Rashis. First of all Pindayu is based on the positions of the
Grahas. O Brahmin, listen carefully to what I say: 19, 25, 15, 12, 15, 21 and
20 are the number of years, contributed by the Grahas, from Surya etc., when in
exaltation. These are half of the above in debilitation. And, if the Grahas are
in between exaltation and debilitation, the rule of three process should be
used. Deduct the actual position of the Grah from its deep exaltation point. If
the product is less than 6 Rashis, deduct it again from 12 Rashis. The product
concerned should be multiplied by the number of years allotted to the Grah and
divided by 12 to get the Grah’s actual contribution. 9. Rectifications.
Excepting Sukr and Sani, the contributions, made by others, should be halved,
if they are eclipsed by Surya. One third should be reduced, if the Grah is in
its inimical Rashi. This does not apply to the one in retrogression (see Vakra
Charam). 10-11. Deductions for Grahas in the Visible Half of the Zodiac. Full,
half, one third, one fourth, one fifth and one sixth are the deductions of
contributions, made by malefics, placed in the visible half of the zodiac.
Benefics in such cases lose only half of what malefics lose. Should there be
more than one Grah in a Bhava, the deduction, due to the strongest, will only
prevail and not deductions, due to other Grahas in that particular Bhava.
Waning Candr is a benefic for this purpose. 12-13. Malefics in Lagn. In case
Tanu Bhava is occupied by malefics, adopt the following procedure. Convert
Lagn’s Sphuta into minutes of arc and multiply it by the years etc.,
contributed by the occupant, and divide by 21600. The years etc. so arrived be
deducted from the respective contribution, which will be the net span, donated
by the Grah. If there is benefic’s Drishti on Lagn, containing malefics, then
the loss is only half. 14-15. Lagn’s Contribution. The number of years,
contributed by Lagn, will correspond to the number of Rashis it gained (from
Mesh), while the degrees Lagn has gained in the particular Rashi will also
correspondingly donate (30° = l year). If the Lagn’s Lord in the Navans is
stronger than Lagn’s Lord, then the contribution should be computed only based
on the number of Navansas gained (from Mesh), otherwise the computation will be
for the Rashi Lagn. 16-17. Nisargayu. O Brahmin, now I tell you about
Nisargayu. 1, 2, 9, 20, 18, 20 and 50 are the years, allotted to Candr, Mangal,
Budh, Sukr, Guru, Surya and Sani from the period of birth. 18-19. Ansayu. Now I
will tell you about Ansayu contributions by Lagn and Grahas. The years
correspond to the number of Navansas, counted from Mesh. Multiply the longitude
in question by 108. If the product exceeds 12, expunge multiples of 12 and
consider the final product in Rashis, degrees etc., as years, months etc.
20-22. The same reductions, as per Pindayu, apply to Ansayu as well; i.e. half
for a combust Grah, one third for inimical placement and the ones, due for
placements in the half of the zodiac, counted from the 12th backwards. Some
scholars suggest further corrections for Ansayu, viz. to increase threefold the
contribution of a Grah in exaltation, or in own Bhava and double the
contribution, if the contributor is in his own Navans, or in his own Dreshkan.
If doubling and trebling is warranted, only trebling be done. In case of
reductions also only halving is to be done, if both halving and reducing a
third are required. That is how the final life-span of men be understood. 23.
Longevity for Other Living Beings. For other living beings as well such
computations can be made. The said figure should be multiplied by the figure,
corresponding to its full span of life and divided by the figure, corresponding
to the full span of life for human beings. 24-29. Full Life Span of Various Living
Beings. Now I’ll tell you about the full life-span figures for various living
beings. Gods and sages enjoy endless life-span (in astronomical proportions, as
against ordinary mortals). The full life-span of eagles, owls, parrots, crows
and snakes is one thousand years. For falcon, monkey, bear and frog the full
span of life is 300 years. Demon’s full life-span is 150 years, while it is 120
for human beings, 32 for horses, 25 for donkeys and camels, 24 for oxen and
buffaloes, 20 for peacocks, 16 for goats and rams. 14 for swans, 12 for cuckoo,
dog and dove, 8 for hens etc. and 7 for birds etc. 30-31. Choice of Longevity.
I have narrated 3 different methods of longevity. Listen to me about the choice
among the three systems. According to which of the three, Lagn, Surya, or Candr
is stronger than the other two, Ansayu, Pindayu, or Nisargayu should be,
respectively, chosen. 32. Doubtful Cases. If two among Lagn, Surya and Candr
gain equal strength, then longevity should be worked out, as per both systems
and the average of both should be considered. If all the three are equally
strong, the average of the three should be considered. 33-40. Other Clues to
Longevity. O excellent of the Brahmins, I will now give you details of other
methods in the matter of longevity, as under. This is based on the positions of
Lagn’s Lord, Randhr’s Lord, Sani, Candr, natal Lagn and Hora Lagn. These six
are grouped into three groups thus: the Lords of Lagn and of Randhr Bhava on
the one hand, Sani and Candr on the other hand and the natal Lagn and Hora Lagn
on yet the other hand. Out of a group of two, if the two are in Movable Rashis,
long life is denoted. One in a Fixed Rashi and the other in a Dual Rashi will
also bestow long life. One in a Movable Rashi and the other in a Fixed Rashi
will give medium life. If both are in Dual Rashis, then again medium life will
be obtained. Short life is denoted, if one is in a Movable Rashi, as the other
is in a Dual Rashi, or, if both are in Fixed Rashis. The type of life, denoted
by three, or two groups be only considered. If the three groups denote
different scales, then the one, indicated by the pair of natal Lagn and Hora
Lagn should be only considered. In case of three different indications, if
Candr is in Lagn, or Yuvati Bhava, then the one, indicated by the Sani-Candr
pair will only come to pass. 41-44. Further Clarifications. If long life is
denoted by all the said three groups, the span is 120 years, if by two groups,
it is 108 years and, if only by one group it is 91 years. If medium life is
arrived at by three groups, it is 80 years, if indicated by 2 groups, it is 72
years and, if by one group, it is 64 years. If short life is denoted by the
said three groups, it is only 32 years, if indicated by two groups, the
life-span is 36 years and, if by one group, the life-span is 40 years. These
are rectified, as under. 45-46. Rectifications. If the contributor is in the
beginning of a Rashi, his donation will be full and it will be nil, if he is at
the end of a Rashi. For intermediary placements rule of three process will
apply. Add the longitudes of the contributors and the sum so arrived at must be
divided by the number of contributors. The latest product should be multiplied
by the number of basic years and divided by 30. This will yield the net
longevity. 47. Special Rule for Sani. Should Sani be a contributor, the class
of longevity declines. Some advocate contrarily an increase of class in this
context. If Sani is in its own Rashi, or in exaltation, change in class will
not occur. Even, if he receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with only a malefic,
no change occurs. 48. Special Rule for Guru. If Guru is in Lagn, or in Yuvati
Bhava and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with only benefics, the class of
longevity will increase. 49-50. Increase and Fall in Class of Longevity. From
very short life to short life, from short life to medium life, from medium life
to long life and from long life to extremely long life are the increases in the
classification of longevity, when Guru warrants an increase. The reverse is
true, if Sani warrants a fall in the span of life. 51. (Maitreya says) You have
narrated various kinds of longevity computations. Please favour me by denoting
subtle classes thereof and poor and long life-spans. 52. (Maharishi Parashar replies)
These are seven-fold, viz. Bal Risht, Yog Risht, short, medium, long,
super-natural (Divya) and immortality (Amritayu). 53-54. The life-span in Bal
Risht is 8 years, in Yog Risht 20 years, in short, medium and long lives,
respectively, 32, 64 and 120 years. Super-natural life-span is 1000 years.
Above this super-natural life-span of 1000 years it is Amritayu, which can be
acquired only by those, who deserve it. 55. Limitless Longevity. Should Kark be
Lagn with Guru and Candr therein, while Sukr and Budh are in Kendras and others
are in Sahaj, Ari and Labh Bhava, the native will obtain limitless longevity.
56. Super-Natural Longevity. One having benefics in Kendras and/or Konas, while
malefics are in Sahaj, Ari and Labh Bhava will obtain super-natural life-span.
Randhr Bhava in this case should be one of the Rashis, owned by a benefic. 57.
Living until the End of the Yuga. One born in Kark Lagn will live till the end
of the Yuga, if Guru is in a Kendr and happens to be in Gopurans, while Sukr is
in a Kon and happens to be in Paravatans. 58. Living the Life-Span of a Sage.
Guru in Simhasanans, being in Lagn, Sani in Devalokans and Mangal in
Paravatans. If these are so, one will enjoy the life-span, as due to a sage.
59. Good Yogas increase the life-span and bad Yogas decrease the same. Hence I
tell you such Yogas, as to know of full, medium and short span combinations.
60. If a Kendr contains a benefic, while Lagn’s Lord is yuti with, or receives
a Drishti from a benefic, or Guru in particular, the native will live a full
span of life. 61. Should Lagn’s Lord be in a Kendr yuti with, or receiving a
Drishti from Guru and Sukr, full life-span will result. 62. If at birth three
Grahas are exalted, out of which the Lords of Lagn and Randhr Bhava are
inclusive, as Randhr Bhava is devoid of a malefic in it, full life-span will
result. 63. Long life is denoted, if three Grahas are in Randhr Bhava, in
exaltation, own, or friendly divisions, while Lagn’s Lord is strong. 64. If
Sani, or Lagn’s Lord is yuti with any exalted Grah, long life will result. 65.
Long life will be enjoyed, if malefics are in Sahaj, Ari and Labh Bhava, while
benefics are in Kendras. 66. If Ari, Yuvati and Randhr Bhava are occupied by
benefics, while malefics are in Sahaj and Labh Bhava, full life-span will
follow the birth. 67. If Randhr’s Lord is friendly to Surya, while malefics are
in Ari and Vyaya Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in a Kendr, the native will live the
full span of life. 68. O excellent of the Brahmins, if a malefic is in Randhr
Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is exalted, one will be long-lived. 69. Long life will
follow, if Lagn is a Dual Rashi, while Lagn’s Lord is in a Kendr, or in
exaltation, or in a Kon. 70. Should Lagn be a Dual Rashi, while two malefics
are in a Kendr with reference to a strong Lagn’s Lord, long life is indicated.
71-73. If the stronger among Lagn’s Lord and Randhr’s Lord is placed in a
Kendr, long life is indicated and, if in a Panaphara, medium life is indicated,
if in Apoklima, short life will come to pass. According to Lagn’s Lord being
friendly, neutral, or inimical to Surya, long, medium, or short life will
result. 74. Should Mangal and Sahaj’s Lord, or Randhr’s Lord and Sani be
combust, or be yuti with malefics, or receive a Drishti from malefics, there
will be short life. 75. If Lagn’s Lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, yuti
with malefics and devoid of Yuti with and/or Drishti from a benefic, short life
will come to pass. 76. If malefics are in Kendras, devoid of Yuti with, or a
Drishti from benefics, while Lagn’s Lord is not strong, only short life will
result. 77. O excellent of Brahmins, if Vyaya and Dhan Bhava are occupied by
malefics and devoid of a Drishti from a benefic, or of Yuti with a benefic, the
native will be short-lived. 78. If the Lords of Lagn and Randhr Bhava are
bereft of dignities and strength, short life will come to pass. If the Lords of
Lagn and Randhr Bhava are helped by others, while being so, medium life-span
will come to pass.
Ch. 44. Marak Grahas
1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have mentioned a lot about
longevity. Be kind enough to throw light on Marakas, or killers. 2-5. O
Brahmin, Sahaj and Randhr Bhava are the two Bhavas of longevity. The Bhavas,
related to death, are the 12th from each of these, i.e. Dhan and Yuvati Bhava
are Marak Bhavas. 3. Out of the two, Dhan Bhava is a powerful Marak Bhava. The
Lords of Dhan and Yuvati Bhava, malefics in Dhan and Yuvati Bhava and malefics,
yuti with Dhan’s Lord and yuti with Yuvati’s Lord are all known, as Marakas.
The major and sub-periods of these Grahas will bring death on the native,
depending on whether he is a long life, medium life, or short life person. 6-7.
The Dasha of a benefic Grah, related to Vyaya’s Lord may also inflict death.
End may descend on the native in Randhr’s Lord’s Dasha. The Dasha of a Grah,
which is an exclusive malefic, may also cause death. 9. Should Sani be
ill-disposed and be related to a Marak Grah, he will be the first to kill in
preference to other Grahas. 10-14. O Brahmin, I tell you further about Marakas.
Narrated earlier are three kinds of life-spans, viz. short, medium and long.
Short life is before 32 years, later on up to 64 it is medium life and from 64
to 100 it is long life. Beyond 100 the longevity is called supreme. O excellent
of the Brahmins, it is impossible to decide upon longevity till the native is
20 years old. Till such year the child should be protected by sacred
recitations, religious offerings (of Ghi etc.) to consecrated fire, as
prescribed in the Vedas etc. and through medical treatments, for premature
death may descend on the child due to sins of father and mother, or of its own
(in the previous birth). 15-21. I further mention about the Marak Grahas. One
born with short life combinations may face death in the Dasha, denoted by Vipat
star (3rd from the birth star), one of medium life may die in the Dasha,
denoted by Pratyak star (5th from the birth star). In the Dasha, denoted by
Vadh star (7th from the birth star), one with long life may obtain his end. The
Dasha of the Lord of the 22nd Dreshkan, or 23rd, or 3rd, or 5th, or 7th
asterisms may also cause death. The Lords of the 2nd and the 12th, counted from
Kark, may bring death. This is true, when Candr is a malefic. If he happens to
be a benefic, there will be diseases (not death). Death may come to pass in the
Dasha of Ari’s Lord and in the subperiods of Ari’s, Randhr’s and/or Vyaya’s
Lords. Should there be many Marakas and, if these Marakas are strong, there
will be diseases, miseries etc. in major and sub-periods. Thus these are
Marakas and are primarily related to bring death upon the native. According to
their dispositions there may be death, or difficulties. 22-24. Rahu and Ketu,
as Marakas. If Rahu, or Ketu are placed in Tanu, Yuvati, Randhr, or Vyaya
Bhava, or happen to be in the 7th from a Marak Lord, or are placed with such a
Grah, they acquire powers of killing in their major, or sub-periods. For one
born in Makar, or in Vrischik, Rahu will be a Marak. Should Rahu be in Ari,
Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, he will give difficulties in his Dasha periods. He will
not, however, do so, if Rahu receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a
benefic. 25-31. Sahaj Bhava and Death. O excellent of Brahmins, if Surya, being
with strength, is in Sahaj Bhava, one will obtain his death, due to a king
(legal punishments). Candr in Sahaj Bhava will cause death, due to
tuberculosis, while wounds, weapons, fire and thirst will cause death through
Mangal in Sahaj Bhava. If Sahaj Bhava receives a Drishti from, or is occupied
by Sani and Rahu, death will be through poison, water, or fire, or fall from
heights, or confinement. Death will surely come to descend through insects, or
leprosy, if Candr and Gulik occupy, or give a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava. Budh,
giving a Drishti to, or occupying Sahaj Bhava, will bring death, followed by
fever. Guru in Sahaj Bhava, or giving a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava, will cause
death by swelling, or tumours. Urinary diseases will cause death, if Sukr is
in, or gives a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava. Many Grahas, giving a Drishti to, or
occupying Sahaj Bhava, will bring death through many diseases. 32. If Sahaj
Bhava is occupied by a benefic, death will be in an auspicious place (like a
shrine) and, if Sahaj Bhava is occupied by a malefic, death will be in sinful
places. Mixed occupation of Sahaj Bhava will yield mixed results with regard to
the place of death. 33. Consciousness will prevail at the time of death, if
Guru, or Sukr are placed in Sahaj Bhava. With other Grahas in Sahaj Bhava there
will be unconsciousness before death. 34. According to Sahaj Bhava being a
Movable, a Fixed, or a Dual Rashi, death will be, respectively, in a foreign
place (other than native birth place), in one’s own house, or on the way.
35-36. Occupants of Randhr Bhava. Note the occupant of Randhr Bhava. If it is
Surya, death will be through fire, if Candr is in Randhr Bhava, through water,
if Mangal, through weapons, if Budh, through fever, if Guru, through diseases,
if Sukr, through hunger and, if Sani, through thirst. 37. If Randhr Bhava is
occupied by, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, while Dharm’s Lord is yuti
with a benefic, the native will die in a shrine. If Randhr Bhava is occupied
by, or receives a Drishti from a malefic, while Dharm’s Lord is yuti with a
malefic, death will be in a place, other than a shrine. 38-39. Fate of the
Human Physical System. Should there be a benefic’s Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava
(22nd Dreshkan), the body will be burnt in fire (as prescribed in Shastras). If
a malefic’s Dreshkan happens to be in Randhr Bhava, the body will be thrown
away in water. If the Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava is owned by a mixed Grah, the
dead body will only dry up. If the Dreshkan in Randhr Bhava is a serpent
Dreshkan, the body will be eaten away by animals, crows etc. 40. Serpent Dreshkanas.
The 2nd and 3rd Dreshkan in Kark, the initial one in Vrischik and the last one
in Meen are designated, as serpent Dreshkanas. 41-42. Pre-natal Abode. O
excellent of Brahmins, the stronger of the two luminaries, Surya and Candr,
occupying a Dreshkan of Guru, denotes the descent from the world of gods. If
the stronger of the luminaries occupies the Dreshkan of Sukr, or Candr, the
descent is from the world of the Manes, if the stronger of the two luminaries
is in the Dreshkan of Surya, or Mangal, the descent is from the world of Yama
(world of the death) and, if in Dreshkan of Budh, or Sani, the descent is from
the hell. 43-45. Ascent after Death. According to the following Grahas in
Vyaya, Yuvati, Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native will attain one of the different
worlds after death: Guru heaven, Candr, or Sukr the world of Manes, Mangal
and/or Surya earth (rebirth), Budh and/or Sani hell. In case the said Bhavas
are not occupied, the native will go to the world, indicated by the stronger of
the Dreshkan Lords, related to Ari and Randhr Bhava. The relative Grah’s
exaltation etc. will denote the high, medium and low status the native will
obtain in the said world. 46. Other Grahas and Rashis, becoming Marakas, are
being discussed in the chapter, related to Dashas.
Ch. 45. Avasthas of Grahas
1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have earlier stated, that the
Avasthas, or states of the Grahas are to be considered in the context of the
effects of the Grahas. Be so kind to tell me about this. 2. O excellent of
Brahmins, various kinds of Avasthas of the Grahas have been expounded. Out of
these, I will give you the summary of Baal (infant) and other states of the
Grahas. 3. Baal, Kumar, Yuv, Vriddh and Mrit Avastha (Baal Adi Avasthas).
Infant, youthful, adolescent, old and dead are the states of the Grahas, placed
in the ascending order at the rate of six degrees in odd Rashis. In the case of
even Rashis this arrangement is in reverse order. (Vriddh - Advanced, Mrit - In
extremis) 4. Results. One fourth, half, full, negligible and nil are the grades
of the results, due to a Grah in infant, youthful, adolescent, old and dead
Avasthas. 5. Awakening, Dreaming and Sleeping States. If a Grah is in its own
Rashi, or in exaltation, it is said to be in a state of awakening (alertness).
In the Rashi of a friend, or of a neutral it is in dreaming state, while in an
enemy’s Rashi, or in debilitation it is in a state of sleeping. 6. According to
a Grah, being in Awakening, Dreaming, or Sleeping states, the results, due to
it will be full, medium, or nil. 7. Other Kinds of States. There are nine kinds
of other Avasthas, viz. Dipt, Swasth, Pramudit, Shanta, Din, Vikal, Duhkhit,
Khal and Kop. 8-10. If a Grah is in its exaltation Rashi, it is in Dipt
Avastha, if in its own Rashi, it is in Swasth, if in a great friend’s Rashi, it
is in Pramudit, if in a friendly Rashi, it is in Shanta, if in a neutral Rashi,
it is in Din, if a Grah is yuti with a malefic, it is in Vikal, if is in an
enemy’s Rashi, it is in Duhkhit, if in a great enemy’s Rashi, it is in Khal
and, if a Grah is being eclipsed by Surya, it is in Kop. Depending on such a
state of the Grah, the Bhava, occupied by it will obtain corresponding effects.
11-18. Yet other Avasthas. Lajjit, Garvit, Kshudhit, Trushit, Mudit and
Kshobhit are the other kinds of Avasthas, due to the Grahas. Placed in Putr
Bhava, if a Grah is associated with Rahu, or Ketu, or with Surya, Sani, or
Mangal, it is in Lajjit Avastha. If a Grah is in exaltation, or in Mooltrikon,
it is Garvit. If a Grah is in an enemy’s Rashi, or yuti with an enemy, or
receives a Drishti from an enemy, or even, if a Grah is yuti with Sani, the
Avastha is Kshudhit. If a Grah is in a watery Rashi and receives a Drishti from
a malefic, but does not receive a Drishti from a benefic, the Avastha is called
Trushit. If a Grah is in a friendly Rashi, or is yuti with, or receives a
Drishti from a benefic, or is yuti with Guru, it is said to be in Mudit
Avastha. If a Grah is yuti with Surya and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti
with a malefic, or receives a Drishti from an enemy, it is said to be in
Kshobhit. The Bhavas, occupied by a Grah in Kshudhit, or in Kshobhit, are
destroyed. 19-23. The learned should estimate the effects, due to a Bhava, in
the manner, cited above, after ascertaining the strength and weakness. Weak
Grahas cause reduction in good effects, while stronger ones give greater
effects. If a Grah, posited in Karm Bhava, is in Lajjit, Kshudhit Avastha, or
Kshobhit Avastha, the person will always be subjected to miseries. If a Grah in
Putr is in Lajjit, there will be destruction of progeny, or there will be only
one surviving child. Surely the wife of the native will die, if there is a Grah
in Yuvati in Kshobhit, or in Trushit Avastha. 24-29. Effects of Garvit, Mudit,
Lajjit, Kshobhit, Kshudhit and Trushit Avastha. A Grah in Garvit Avastha will
cause happiness through new houses and gardens, regalhood, skill in arts,
financial gains at all times and improvement in business. A Grah in Mudit
Avastha will give residences, clothes, ornaments, happiness from lands and
wife, happiness from relatives, living in royal places, destruction of enemies
and acquisition of wisdom and learning. A Grah in Lajjit will give aversion to
God, loss of intelligence, loss of child, interest in evil speeches and
listlessness in good things. A Grah in Kshobhit will give acute penury, evil
disposition, miseries, financial debacles, distress to feet and obstruction to
income, due to royal wrath. A Grah in Kshudhit will cause downfall, due to
grief and passion, grief on account of relatives, physical decline, troubles
from enemies, financial distress, loss of physical strength and an eclipsed
mind, due to miseries. A Grah in Trushit Avastha will cause diseases through
association with females, leading over wicked deeds, loss of wealth, due to
one’s own men, physical weakness, miseries, caused by evil people and decline
of honour. 30-37. Calculation of Shayan Adi Avasthas. Now I will tell you of
the Avasthas, viz. Shayan, Upavesan, Netrapani, Prakash, Gaman, Agaman, Sabh,
Agam, Bhojan, Nritya Lips, Kautuk and Nidr and the Chesthas of such Avasthas.
Note the number of the star, occupied by the Grah, for which an Avastha is to
be calculated. Multiply that number by the number, denoted by the Grah (Surya 1
to Sani 7). The figure so arrived at should again be multiplied by the number
of the Navans, where the Grah is in. Add to this the number of the birth
asterism (ruling star, the one, occupied by Candr), the number of Ghatis of
birth and the number of Rashis, Lagn gained from Mesh (Mesh 1, Vrishabh 2 and
so forth). This figure should be divided by 12 and the remainder will indicate
the corresponding Avastha of the Grah. The sub-state in the said Avastha can be
found out in the following way. Multiply the figure (Sayan 1 to Nidr 12),
denoted by the Avastha concerned, by the same figure and increase it by the
figure, denoted by the Anka value for the first syllable of the native’s
personal name. Divide the product so obtained by 12. The remainder thereof
should be further increased by constant additives of the Grahas in the
following way: Surya 5, Candr 2, Mangal 2, Budh 3, Guru 5, Sukr 3, Sani 3, Rahu
(Ketu) 4. The product so arrived at should be divided by 3. In the process of
calculation, if it happens, that the remainder is 1, it is Drishti, if 2, it is
Chesht and, if 0, it is Vichesht. Notes. Shayan Adi are of supreme importance,
as compared to the other kinds of Avasthas. In place of Navans, given above,
some translators interpret the word Ans, as degree, occupied by the Grah, which
is obviously not correct. In this connection the reader’s attention is drawn to
Balabhadr’s Hora Ratna, Ch. 3, wherein the author, Balabhadr himself, gives an
example for Surya, being in the 7th Navans of Simh and thus he considered only
7, as multiplier. He quotes Adhibhut Sagara, as his authority for calculation
of Sayan Adi. Agaman Avastha is known, as Gamanechch by some exponents. Anka
value is 1 for a, ka, cha, ? a, dha, bha and va, 2 for i, kha, ja, ?ha, na, ma
and sha, 3 for u, ga, jha, ta, pa, ya and sa, 4 for e, gha, ? a, tha, pha, ra
and sa, 5 for o, ca, ?ha, da, ba, la and ha. 38-39. Effects of Chesht etc. If
the sub-state is Drishti in an Avastha, the results, being stated for the
Avastha, will be medium, the effects will be full in Chesht and negligible in
Vichesht. The good and bad effects of Grahas should be deciphered, based on the
strength and weakness of the Grahas. In exaltation the Grahas reveal effects in
a pronounced manner, due to Avasthas. 40-51. Effects of Surya’s Avasthas. If
Surya is in Sayan Avastha, the native will incur digestive deficiency, many
diseases, stoutness of legs, bilious vitiation, ulcer in the anus and heart
strokes; if in Upavesan, will suffer poverty, will carry loads, will indulge in
litigations, be hard-hearted, wicked and will lose in his undertakings; if is
in Netrapani, will always be happy, wise, helpful to others, endowed with
prowess and wealth, very happy and will gain royal favours; if in Prakash, will
be liberal in disposition, have plenty of wealth, be a significant speaker in
the assembly, will perform many meritorious acts, be greatly strong and endowed
with charming beauty; if in Gaman, will be disposed to live in foreign places,
be miserable, indolent, bereft of intelligence and wealth, be distressed, due
to fear and will be short-tempered; if in Agaman, will be interested in others’
wives, be devoid of his own men, be interested in movements and skilful in
doing evil deeds, be dirty, ill-disposed and will be a talebearer; if in Sabh,
will be disposed to help others, be always endowed with wealth and gems, be
virtuous, endowed with lands, new houses and robes, be very strong, very
affectionate to his friends and very kindly disposed; if in Agam, will be
distressed, due to enemies, fickle-minded, evil-minded, emaciated, devoid of
virtuous acts and intoxicated with pride; if in Bhojan, will experience pains
in joints, will lose money on account of others’ females, will have strength,
declining off and on, be untruthful, will incur head-aches, eat remnant food
and will take to bad ways; if in Nritya Lips, will be honoured by the learned,
be a scholar, will have knowledge of poetry etc. and will be adored by kings on
the earth; if is Kautuk, will always be happy, will be endowed with Vedic Knowledge
and will perform Yagyas, will move amidst kings, have fear from enemies, will
be charming-faced and be endowed with knowledge of poetry; if in Nidr, will
have a strong tendency towards being drowsy, will live in foreign (distant)
places, will incur harm to his wife and will face financial destruction. Surya
in Upavesan will make one an artisan, black in complexion, devoid of learning
and miserable. One will serve others. In Netrapani there will be all kinds of
happiness, if Surya is in Putr, Dharm, Karm, or Yuvati. In other Bhavas
Netrapani of Surya will give eye diseases and enmity with all. If Surya is in
Prakash, the native will be meritorious, religious and liberal, will enjoy
pleasures, be equal to a prince and will enjoy the status of Kuber, the God of
wealth. However, the Prakash of Surya, placed in Yuvati, or Putr will cause
loss of the first child and will produce many litigations. If Surya is in
Gaman, the native will incur disease of the feet and will be very mean. If in
Agaman, Surya in Vyaya, or in Yuvati will destroy progeny and will give very
limited wealth. If in Agam, Surya will give many miseries, an ugly appearance
and foolishness. However, he will give wealth. Surya in Bhojan in Dharm will
cause many hindrances to spiritual and religious undertakings. In other Bhavas
Surya in Bhojan will cause head and ear diseases, apart from joint pains.
Though Maharishi Parashar states, that the native with Surya in Kautuk Avastha
will have fear from enemies, Bal Bhadr exempts such evil effect for the Ari
Bhava position. Surya in Kautuk in other Bhavas will give a number of
daughters, two wives, itch, excellence, liberality etc. If Surya is in Nidr,
the native will be predisposed to incur piles and elephantiasis, will
experience a lack of peace and he will be liable to lose his first child.
52-63. Effects of Candr’s Avasthas. If Candr is in Sayan, the native will be
honourable, sluggish, given to sexual lust and he will face financial
destruction; if in Upavesan, will be troubled by diseases, be dull-witted, not
endowed with mentionable wealth, will be hard-hearted, will do unworthy acts
and will steal others’ wealth; if in Netrapani, will be troubled by great
diseases (long lasting in nature), be very garrulous, wicked and will indulge
in bad deeds. Should Candr be in Prakash, the native will be famous in the
world, will have his virtues exposed through royal patronage, will be
surrounded by horses, elephants, females and ornaments, will visit shrines. If
Candr is in Gaman with decreasing rays, the native will be sinful, cruel and
always troubled by afflictions of sight. If Candr is in Gaman with increasing
rays, the native will be distressed, due to fear. If Candr is in Agaman, the
native will be honourable, will suffer diseases of the feet, will secretly
indulge in sinful acts, will be poor and devoid of intelligence and happiness;
if in Sabh, will be eminent among men, honoured by kings and kings of kings,
will be very beautiful, will subdue the passion of women and will be skilful in
sexual acts, will be virtuous; if in Agam, will be garrulous and virtuous and,
if the said Candr is of dark fortnight, the native will have two wives, he will
be sick, highly wicked and violent; if in Bhojan, will be endowed with honour,
conveyances, attendants, social status, wife and daughters, provided Candr is
Full ‘Purna’; if in Bhojan and is of dark fortnight, auspicious effects will
fail to come; if in Nritya Lips and is endowed with (fortnightly) strength,
will be strong, will have knowledge of songs and will be a critic of beauty of
things; if in Nritya Lips and of dark fortnight, i.e. not endowed with
strength, the person will be sinful; if in Kautuk, the native will attain
kingship, lordship over wealth and skill in sexual acts and in sporting with
harlots. Should waxing Candr, being yuti with Guru, be in Nidr, the native will
be quite eminent. If waxing Candr is in Nidr, but devoid of Guru’s Yuti, the
native will lose his wealth on account of females and female jackals will be
crying around his abode (as though it were a cemetery). 64 75. Effects of the
Avasthas of Mangal. If Mangal is in Sayan, the native will be troubled by
wounds, itch and ulcer. If Mangal is placed in Upavesan, the native will be
strong, sinful, untruthful, eminent, wealthy and bereft of virtues. If Mangal
is placed in Lagn and happens to be in Netrapani, there will be penury; if
placed in other Bhavas, Netrapani will confer rulership of a city. Should
Mangal be in Prakash, the native will shine with virtues and will be honoured
by the king. Mangal in Prakash in Putr will cause loss of children and of wife.
If Mangal is in Prakash in Putr and happens to be there with Rahu, a severe
(positional) fall will descend on the native. Should Mangal be in Gaman, the
native will be always roaming, will have fear of multiple ulcers, will incur
misunderstandings with females, will be afflicted by boils, itches etc. and
will incur financial decline. If Mangal happens to be in Agaman Avastha, the
native will be virtuous, endowed with precious gems, will adore a sharp sword,
will walk with the gait of an elephant, will destroy his enemies and will
remove the miseries of his people. If Mangal is placed in Sabh and happens to
be in exaltation, the native will be skilful in conducting wars, will hold the
flag of righteousness aloft and will be wealthy; if Mangal happens to be in
Sabh in Putr, or Dharm, the native will be bereft of learning; if Mangal is in
Sabh in Vyaya, childlessness and no wife and no friends will result; if Mangal
is in other Bhavas in Sabh, the native will be a scholar in a king’s court
(poet laureate), be very wealthy, honourable and charitable. If Mangal is in
Agam, the native will be devoid of virtues and good deeds, will be distressed
by diseases, will acquire diseases of the root of the ears (‘Karan Mularogam’
& ‘Padamulam Urumulam’ etc.) and severe gout pains, will be timid and will
befriend evil lot. If Mangal is with strength, while in Bhojan Avastha, the
native will eat sweet-food; if devoid of strength, will indulge in base acts
and be dishonourable. If Mangal is in Nritya Lips, the native will earn wealth
through the king and will be endowed with fullness of gold, diamonds and corals
in his house; if in Kautuk, will be curious in disposition and will be endowed
with friends and sons; if in Kautuk and simultaneously exalted, will be
honoured by the king and the virtuous and will be virtuous himself; if in Nidr,
will be short-tempered, devoid of intelligence and wealth, will be wicked,
fallen from virtuous path and troubled by diseases. Should Mangal be in
Upavesan in Lagn, the native will be extremely sinful and he will incur several
diseases, will be indigent and not peaceful. If Upavesan occurs for Mangal in
Dharm, the native will lose his whole wealth apart from his wife and progeny.
Mangal in Netrapani in Lagn will give poverty and will destroy the native’s
wife and progeny; if Mangal is in Netrapani in other Bhavas, this confers on
the native all kinds of wealth and happiness from wife and children. The Dhan,
or Yuvati position of Mangal in Netrapani will cause fear from lions and snakes
apart from giving earnings from lands. Furthermore the native’s wife will
predecease him. Should Mangal be in Prakash in Putr, or in Yuvati, the native
will lose his wife and all children. If Mangal is placed in Putr in Prakash and
is yuti with Sani, the native will kill cows. Should Mangal be in Gaman in
Lagn, the native will be active in his assignments, will incur diseases of the
joints, burning pains in the eyes and will obtain dental afflictions and the
like, he will have fear from dogs and will adore the guise of a female. In
other Bhavas Mangal in Gaman will bring royal favours, leadership and luxuries
of life. Mangal in Agaman will cause piles and diseases of the rectum. If
Mangal is in Bhojan, or in Sayan in Putr, or in Randhr, there will be untimely
death for the native. In other Bhavas Bhojan of Mangal will confer wealth.
Should Mangal be in Nritya Lips and happens to be in Lagn, Dhan, Yuvati, or
Karm, the native will receive all kinds of happiness; there will be miseries in
abundance, if Mangal is in Nritya Lips and placed in Randhr, or Dharm, apart
from incurring untimely death. In other Bhavas Nritya Lips of Mangal will make
the native akin to Kuber. Mangal in Yuvati, or in Dharm in Kautuk will give
several diseases and death of the first child and wife. In other Bhavas Kautuk
will confer scholarship, various kinds of wealth, two wives and more female
children. In Nidr Mangal in Lagn, Dhan, Sahaj, Dharm, Karm, or Labh will give
scholarship, foolishness and poverty. Putr, or Yuvati placement of Mangal in
Nidr will give many miseries and many male children. Should Rahu join Mangal in
Nidr in any Bhava, the native will have many wives, be miserable and will
suffer from some diseases on the surface of the feet. 76-86. Effects of Budh’s
Avasthas. Should Budh in Sayan be in Lagn, the native will be lame and will
have reddish eyes (like the black bee); if Budh is in Sayan in other Bhavas,
the native will be addicted to licentious (disregarding certain rules)
pleasures and be wicked. If Budh is in Upavesan in Lagn, the native will
possess (the seven principle) virtues; if Budh in Upavesan is in Lagn,
receiving a Drishti from a malefic, or Drishtis from malefics, or is yuti with
malefics, penury will result; if Budh in Upavesan is in Lagn, receiving a
Drishti from a benefic, or Drishtis from benefics, or is yuti with benefics,
financial happiness will follow. If Budh is in Netrapani, the native will be
devoid of learning, wisdom, well wishers and satisfaction, but he will be
honourable; if Budh is in Putr in Netrapani, the subject will be bereft of
happiness from wife and sons, will be endowed with (more) female children and
will gain abundant finance through royal patronage. If Budh is in Prakash, the
native will be charitable, merciful and meritorious, he will cross the
boundaries of ocean in respect of many branches of learning, he will be endowed
with the great faculty of discrimination and will destroy evil people; if in
Gaman, will visit the courts of kings on many occasions and Goddess Lakshmi

affluent and meritorious at all times, will be equal to Kuber, or will be a
king, or a minister, will be devoted to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva, will be

king, will be fickle-minded and will be bereft of physical and conjugal
felicity; if in Nritya Lips, will be endowed with honour, conveyances, corals
(gems etc.), sons, friends, prowess and recognition in assembly, due to his

is in Kautuk in Lagn, the native will be skilful in music; if Budh is in
Yuvati, or Randhr with Kautuk, the native will be addicted to courtezans; if
Budh in Kautuk is placed in Dharm, the native will be meritorious and attain
heavens after death. If Budh is in Nidr, the native will not enjoy comfortable
sleep, will be afflicted by neck, or neck joint ‘Samadhi’ diseases, will be
devoid of co-born, afflicted by miseries galore, will enter into litigations
with his own men and will lose wealth and honour. 87-98. Effects of Guru’s

own large houses. Should Sukr be in Prakash in its own Rashi, in its exaltation
Rashi, or in a friendly Rashi, the native will sport, like a lofty elephant,

Sayan, the native will experience miseries in abundance, but, if Rahu in Sayan

Grah is in Sayan, there will be benefic effects at all times, according to the
learned. 148. If a malefic is in Bhojan, everything will be destroyed and there
is no need of a second thought. 149. Should a malefic in Yuvati be in Nidr,
auspicious effects will follow, provided, that there is no Drishti from another
malefic. 150. Declare without a second thought auspicious effects, following
the location of a malefic in Putr Bhava, but only with Nidr, or in Sayan. 151.
Untimely death, due to royal wrath, will come to pass, if there is a malefic in
Randhr Bhava in Nidr, or in Sayan. 152. If in the case of a malefic in Randhr
Bhava in Nidr, or Sayan there happens to be a benefic Drishti, or the Yuti of a
benefic, (untimely) death will be in the river Ganges, i.e. Gangetic belt,
shrines etc. 153. If there is a malefic in Karm in Sayan, or Bhojan, the native
will face many miseries on account of his own deeds. 154. O excellent of the
Brahmins, doubtlessly a Raj Yog will come to pass, if Candr is in Karm in
Kautuk, or Prakash. 155. Thus the good and bad effects should be guessed,
assessing the strength and weakness of the Grahas, concerning all the Bhavas.
Ch. 46. Dashas of Grahas
1. Maitreya said. O Venerable Maharishi Parashar! You are
omniscient. There is no subject, with which you are not conversant. Therefore
now please favour me with guidance about the different kinds of Dashas
(periods) of the various Grahas. 2-5. Maharishi Parashar replied. O Brahmin!
Dashas are of many kinds. Amongst them Vimshottari is the most appropriate for
the general populace. But the other Dashas, followed in special cases, are
Astottari, Shodshottari, Dwadashottari, Panchottari, Shatabdik,
Chaturashiti-sama, Dwisaptati-sama, Shastihayani, Shat-trimshat-sama. Our
ancients have described these different kinds of Dashas, based on Nakshatras.
6-11. O Brahmin! Some Maharishis have made a mention of Kala and Chakr Dasha,
but they have recognized the Kala Chakr Dasha, as supreme. The other kinds of
Dashas, propagated by the sages, are Char, Sthir, Kendr, Karak, Brahma Grah,
Manduk, Shul, Yogardh, Drig, Trikon, Rashi, Panchswara, Yogini, Pind,
Nausargik, Asht Varg, Sandhya, Pachak, Tara etc. But in our view all these
Dashas are not appropriate. Vimshottari 12-14. Beginning from Kritika, the
Lords of Dashas are Surya, Candr, Mangal, Rahu, Guru, Sani, Budh, Ketu and Sukr
in that order. Thus, if the Nakshatras from Kritika to the Janm Nakshatr are
divided by nine, the remainder will signify the Lord of the commencing Dasha.
The remaining Dashas will be of the Grahas in the order, given above. In Kali
Yuga the natural life-span of a human being is generally taken, as 120 years.
Therefore Vimshottari Dasha is considered to be the most appropriate and the
best of all Dashas. 15. The periods of Dashas of Surya, Candr, Mangal, Rahu,
Guru, Sani, Budh, Ketu and Sukr are 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17, 7 and 20 in that
order. 16. To find out the remainder of the Dasha, operating at the time of
birth, first find out the expired portion of the Dasha of the concerned Grah.
This is done, as follows. Multiply the Dasha period of the Grah concerned by
the period of the stay of Candr in Janm Nakshatr, that has expired and divide
that amount by the total period of the stay of Candr in that Nakshatr. The
figure in years, months etc. so arrived at will be the expired period of the
Dasha. If this figure is deducted from the total period of the Dasha, we will
get the balance of Dasha at the time of birth. Ashtottari 17-20. Maharishi
Parashar said. O Brahmin, the sages have recommended the adoption of
Ashtottari, when Rahu not being in Lagn, in any other Kendr, or Trikon to the
Lord of the Lagn. From 4 Nakshatras from Ardra commences the Dasha of Surya,
from 3 after that begins the Dasha of Candr, 4 after that will bring the Dasha
of Mangal, 3 after that the Lord of Dasha will be Budh, 4 therefrom will have
Sani, as the Dasha Lord, 3 thereafter the Lord will be Guru, Rahu will be the
Lord of the Dasha 4 Nakshatras after that and then Sukr will take over the
lordship of the Dasha 3 Nakshatras from the last one mentioned above. The Lord
of the Dasha at birth will be determined by counting in this order up to the
Janm Nakshatr. The duration of Ashtottari Dasha for Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh,
Sani, Guru, Rahu and Sukr are 6, 15, 8, 17, 10, 19, 12 and 21 in that order.
Thus in this Dasha system only 8 Grahas play the role of Dasha Lords, Ketu
having been denied this privilege. 21-22. The Dashas of the various Grahas have
been specified above. In the case of malefic Grahas the Dasha span of one
Nakshatr is ¼ of the Dasha of the Grah. It is 1/3rd in the case of benefics.
Thus the expired portion of the Dasha is calculated, according to the method,
followed for Vimshottari Dasha, by multiplying the Bhayat, i.e. the expired
period of the stay of Candr in the Janm Nakshatr, by the Dasha portion of the
Janm Nakshatr and dividing it by Bhabhog, i.e. the total period of the stay of
Candr in the Janm Nakshatr. Then the balance of Dasha at birth can also be ascertained.
If Uttarashadha happens to be the Janm Nakshatr, the duration of its first
three Padas is taken, as Bhabhog and the Dasha calculations should be done
accordingly. The Dasha and calculations for Abhijit Nakshatr are done by taking
the 4th Pad of Uttarashadha plus the 15th part of the beginning of Shravan. For
Shravan the Bhabhog would be the total of its duration in Ghatikas minus the
1/15th part of the beginning of Shravan. Shodshottari 23. It will be advisable
to adopt the Shodshottari, if the birth is in the day in Krishna Paksh (dark
half of the month), or at night in Shukla Paksh (bright half). 24-26. The Dasha
may be adopted, when the Lagn is in the Hora of Candr with birth in the Krishna
Paksh, or, when Lagn is in the Hora of Surya with birth in the Shukla Paksh.
Count the number of Nakshatras from Pushya to the Janm Nakshatr. Divide this
number by 8. The remainder will indicate the Dashas of Surya, Mangal, Guru,
Sani, Ketu, Candr, Budh and Sukr. The Dashas of the above Grahas are of 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 years. Dwadashottari 27-28. This Dasha system will be
appropriate for one, whose Lagn is in the Navans of Sukr. Count from Janm
Nakshatr to Revati. Divide this number by 8. The remainder will indicate the
Dasha of the Grah concerned. The Dasha order is Surya, Guru, Ketu, Budh, Rahu,
Mangal, Sani, Candr. The Dashas will be of 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21
years of the Grahas. Panchottari (29-30) This Dasha is considered suitable for
those, whose Lagn is Kark and also in the Kark Dvadashans. Count from Anuradha
up to the Janm Nakshatr and divide the number by 7. The remainder will indicate
the Dasha. The order of the Dasha Lords is Surya, Budh, Sani, Mangal, Sukr,
Candr and Guru. The Dashas of the Grahas are 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18
years. Shatabdik (31-32) This Dasha system has been considered appropriate, if
Lagn is Vargottama. This happens, when Lagn in the Rashi Kundali and the Navans
Lagn are in the same Rashi. (33-34) Count from Revati to the Janm Nakshatr and
divide this number by seven. The remainder will indicate the Lords of Dashas in
this order: Surya, Candr, Sukr, Budh, Guru, Mangal and Sani. Their Dashas will
be of 5, 5, 10, 10, 20, 20 and 30 years. Chaturashiti-sama 35-36.
Chaturashiti-sama Dasha is considered appropriate in cases, where the Karm’s
Lord is placed in Karm. Count from Swati to the Janm Nakshatr and divide this
number by 7. The remainder will indicate the Dasha Lords in the following
order: Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr and Sani. The Dasha period of
each Grah is 12 years. Dwisaptati-sama 37-39. This Dasha system is considered
suitable in cases, where the Lord of Lagn is in Lagn, or in Yuvati. Count from
Mul to the Janm Nakshatr and divide the number by 8. The remainder will
determine the Dasha Lords in the following order: Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh,
Guru, Sukr, Sani and Rahu. In this Dasha system all the eight Grahas have
Dashas of 9 years each. Shastihayani 40-41. This Dasha may be adopted in cases,
where Surya is posited in Lagn. The order of Dasha Lords in this system is, as
follows: Guru, Surya, Mangal, Candr, Budh, Sukr, Sani and Rahu. The following
shows the Nakshatras, falling under the various Dasha Lords. The Dashas of
Guru, Surya and Mangal are of 10 years. The remaining Grahas have Dashas of 6
years each. Guru (Ashvini, Bharani, Kritika, Punarvasu), Surya (Rohini,
Mrigashira, Ardra, U.Ashadha), Mangal (Pushya, Aslesha, Magha, Revati), Candr
(P.Phalguni, U.Phalguni, Hast), Budh (Swati, Vishakah, Anuradha), Sukr
(Jyeshtha, Mul, P.Ashadha), Sani (Abhijit, Shravan, Dhanishtha), Rahu
(Shatabhisha, P.Bhadra, U.Bhadra). Shat-trimshat-sama 42-43. Count from Shravan
to the Janm Nakshatr and divide the number by 8. The remainder 1 etc. will
indicate the Dasha Lords, whose order will be, as follows: Candr, Surya, Guru,
Mangal, Budh, Sani, Sukr and Rahu. Their Dashas will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and
8 years. If the birth is during the day and Lagn is in the Hora of Surya and,
if the birth is at night and Lagn is in the Hora of Candr, adoption of this system
would be preferable. Kaal 44-49. 5 Ghatikas before the sight of the semi-disk
of the setting Surya and 5 Ghatikas after that and 5 Ghatikas before and after
the rising of Surya, that is 10 Ghatikas in the evening and 10 Ghatikas in the
morning, respectively. The total period of both these Sandhyas (twilight) is
said to be 20 Ghatikas. The 20 Ghatikas of the night have been given the name
Purna and the 20 Ghatikas of the day have been given the name Mugdha. The
Sandhya at the time of sunrise is called Khanda and the Sandhya at the time of
sunset is said to be Sudh. Both of these Sandhyas are of 10 Ghatikas each. If
the birth is in Purna, or Mugdha, its past Ghatikas should be multiplied by 2
and the product should be divided by 15. The figure so arrived at should be
converted into years, months etc. By multiplying it by the serial number of
Surya and other Grahas in their normal order, we will get the Kaal Dasha of
these Grahas. If the birth is during Sandhya, then its past Ghatikas should be
multiplied by 4 and the product divided by 15. The figure so arrived at in
terms of years, months etc. should be multiplied by the serial number of Surya
and the other Grahas to get the Kaal Dasha of all the nine Grahas. Chakr 50-51.
If the birth is at night, the Dasha will commence from Lagn Rashi. If the birth
is during the day, the Dasha will start from the Rashi, in which the Lord of
Lagn is placed. If the birth is during Sandhya, the Dasha will begin from the
Rashi of the second Bhava. The Dasha of each Rashi is 10 years. As it is the
Dasha system of the 12 Rashis in the Zodiac, it has been named, as Chakr Dasha.
Kaal Chakr 52-53. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! Now, after making
obedience to Lord Shiva, I shall describe the Kala Chakr Dasha. Whatever was
related by Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati, is being explained by me for the use
of sages to be utilized for the welfare of the people. 54-55. By drawing
vertical and horizontal lines, prepare 2 Kundalis, Savya and Apsavya, of 12
apartments (Kosthas) each. From the second Kostha in each Kundali fix the
Rashis Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Kark, Simh, Kanya, Tula, Vrischik, Dhanu, Makar,
Kumbh, Meen. Then Nakshatras may be incorporated in the manner, indicated
hereafter. These Kundalis, indicative of the 12 Rashis, are called Kala Chakr.
56-58. Write Ashvini, Bharani and Kritika in the Savya Chakr and Rohini,
Mrigashira, Ardra in the Apsavya. Then incorporate the three following
Nakshatras, Punarvasu, Pushya and Aslesha in the Savya and Magha, Purvaphalguni
and Uttaraphalguni in the Apsavya. Then incorporate the three following, Hast,
Chitra and Swati in the Savya and Vishakah, Anuradha and Jyeshtha in the
Apsavya. Then incorporate Mul, Purvashadha and Uttarashadha in the Savya and
Shravan, Dhanishtha and Shatabhisha in the Apsavya. Finally incorporate the
last three Nakshatras, Purvabhadrapad, Uttarabhadrapad and Revati in the Savya
Chakr. Now there will be 15 Nakshatras in the Savya and 12 Nakshatras in the
Apsavya, (because for the 12 Rashis there are 12 Padas of 3 Nakshatras, the
Navansas). The Padas of Ashvini, Punarvasu, Hast, Mul, Purvabhadrapad, Kritika,
Aslesha, Swati, Uttarashadha and Revati of the Savya should be reckoned in the
same manner, as the Padas of Ashvini. 59. Now I shall describe in detail, how
the Deha and Jiva should be reckoned in the Padas (quarters) of the Nakshatras.
60. In the first Pad of Ashvini Mesh is indicative of Deha (body) and Dhanu is
indicative of Jiva (life). And the Lords of Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Kark, Simh,
Kanya, Tula, Vrischik and Dhanu are Lords of the Dashas in the order, as
described before. 61. In the second Pad of Ashvini Makar is Deha and Mithun is
Jiva and the Lords of the nine Rashis from Makar to Mithun are Lords of the
Dashas. 62. In the third Pad of the ten Nakshatras, beginning from Ashvini,
Vrishabh is Deha and Mithun is Jiva. The Lords of the Rashis Vrishabh, Mesh,
Meen, Kumbh, Makar, Dhanu, Mesh, Vrishabh and Mithun are Lords of the Dashas in
that order. 63-64. For the 4th Pad of the 10 Nakshatras, beginning from Ashvini,
Kark is Deha and Meen is Jiva and the Lords of the nine Rashis from Kark to
Meen are the Lords of Dashas. 65. In the four Padas of the 5 Nakshatras,
Bharani, Pushya, Chitra, Purvashadha and Uttarabhadrapad, Deha and Jiva are the
same, as for Bharani. 66. In the first Pad of Bharani Vrischik is Deha and Meen
is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Vrischik, Tula, Kanya, Kark, Simh, Mithun,
Vrishabh, Mesh and Meen are the Lords of Dashas in this order. 67. In the 2nd
Pad of Bharani Kumbh is Deha and Kanya is Jiva and the Lords of Kumbh, Makar,
Dhanu, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Kark, Simh and Kanya are the Lords of Dashas in
that order. 68. In the 3rd Pad of Bharani Tula is Deha and Kanya is Jiva and
Lords of the Rashis Tula, Vrischik, Dhanu, Makar, Kumbh, Meen, Vrischik, Tula
and Kanya are the Dasha Lords in this order. 69. In the 4th Pad of Bharani Kark
is Deha and Kumbh is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Kark, Simh, Mithun,
Vrishabh, Mesh, Meen, Kumbh, Makar and Dhanu are the Dasha Lords in this order.
71-72. O Brahmin! I have thus given you the description of Savya Chakr. Now I
shall give the description of Apsavya Chakr. Prepare a similar chart of 12
apartments and from the 2nd apartment onwards place the Rashis from Vrischik
onwards in the reverse order. In this chart Deha and Jiva would be the same for
Rohini, Magha, Vishakah and Shravan, as for Rohini. 73-76. In the first Pad of
Rohini Kark is Deha and Dhanu is Jiva. The Lords of the Rashis Dhanu, Makar,
Kumbh, Meen, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Simh and Tula will be the Dasha Lords in
this order. In the 2nd Tula will be Deha and Kanya the Jiva and the Lords of
the Rashis Kanya, Tula, Vrischik, Meen, Kumbh, Makar, Dhanu, Vrischik and
Vrischik will be the Dasha Lords. In the 3rd Kumbh will be Deha and Kanya Jiva.
The Lords of the Rashis Kanya, Simh, Kark, Mithun, Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu, Makar
and Kumbh will be the Dasha Lords. In the 4th Vrischik will be Deha and Meen
Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Meen, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Simh, Kark,
Kanya, Tula and Vrischik will be the Lords. 77. In the 4 Padas of the Apsavya
Nakshatras Mrigashira, Ardra, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Anuradha,
Jyeshtha, Dhanishtha and Shatabhisha the Deha and Jiva and the Dasha Lords will
be the same, as for Mrigashira. 78-81. In the first Pad of Mrigashira Kark is
Deha and Meen is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Meen, Kumbh, Makar, Dhanu,
Vrischik, Tula, Kanya, Simh and Kark will be the Dasha Lords in this order. In
the 2nd Vrishabh is Deha and Mithun is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Mithun,
Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu, Makar, Kumbh, Meen, Mesh and Vrishabh will be the Dasha
Lords. In the 3rd Makar is Deha and Mithun is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis
Mithun, Simh, Kark, Kanya, Tula, Vrischik, Meen, Kumbh and Makar will be the
Dasha Lords. In the 4th Mesh will be Deha and Dhanu Jiva and the Lords of the
Rashis Dhanu, Vrischik, Tula, Kanya, Simh, Kark, Mithun, Vrishabh and Mesh will
be the Dasha Lords. 82. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! The description of
the Deha and Jiva of the Padas of the Apsavya Nakshatras and the Dasha Lords is
the same, as narrated by Lord Mahadeva to Goddess Parvati. 83. Maitreya said. O
Venerable Maharishi Parashar! Now please guide me about the Dasha spans of the
Dasha Lords, described by you. Please also demonstrate, how the commencement of
the Dasha, its expired and the remaining periods at the birth are to be
calculated. 84. Maharishi Parashar said. 5, 21, 7, 9, 10, 16 and 4 years are
the Dasha spans of Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr and Sani. 85-86. The
span of life of a person is determined from the Padas (Ansas) of the Nakshatr
at the time of birth, or the time of query and the years allotted to the 9
Rashis, commencing from it (the Pad of the Nakshatr). Some sages are of the
view, that the person will enjoy full span of life (Purna Ayu), if his birth is
at the commencement of the Padas, will have middle span of life (Madhaya Ayu),
if the birth is in the middle of the Padas and short span of life (‘Alap Ayu’),
or will face death-like sufferings, if the birth is at the end of the Padas of
the Nakshatr. 87-88. According to this principle, we should be acquainted with
the Padas of the Nakshatras. Now I shall tell you, how the calculations are
made, according to the proportion of the Padas of a Nakshatr. The number of
Ashvini etc., whichever may be the past Nakshatras, should be divided by 3.
Thereafter the remainder should be multiplied by 4. To the figure so made
available the Pad of the present Nakshatr should be added. The product will be
the Navans from Mesh onwards. 89. The number of years (Purna Ayu) are, as
under. For the Ans in Mesh 100 years, in Vrishabh 85 years, in Mithun 83 years,
in Kark 86 years. The number of years will be the same for Rashis, situated the
5th and 9th to them. 90-91. Multiply the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of the Pad
of the Nakshatr, in which a person is born, by the existing Dasha years and
divide it by 15. The result will indicate the expired period of the Dasha in
years, months etc. By deducting it from the total number of years allotted, we
get the balance of Dasha at birth. The Dasha should be taken, as commencing
from that Rashi. 92. Multiply the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of the present Pad
of the Nakshatr by the number of years and divide the product by the fourth
part of Bhabhog. The years etc. so obtained may then be deducted from the total
Dasha period. The result will be the balance of Dasha at birth in years, months
etc. 93. The past Kalas (minutes) of the Navans, in which Candr may be placed,
should be multiplied by the years, allotted to the Dasha and the product should
be divided by 200. The resulting years etc. will be the expired portion of the
Dasha. By deducting them from the total number of years the balance of the
Dasha at birth is obtained. 94-95. In the Savya Chakr the first Ans is called
Deha and the last Jiva. The opposite is the case in the Apsavya Chakr.
Therefore the calculations should be based on the Deha etc. in the Savya Chakr
and on the Jiva etc. in Apsavya. We give below the Savya and Apsavya Kaal Chakr
Charts. For Example. The birth is in Mrigashira 4th Pad. It is in the Apsavya
Kaal Chakr. The Lord of Deha is Mangal and that of Jiva is Guru. The Bhabhog of
Mrigashira is 59/31 (59 Ghatikas 31 Palas) and Bhayat is 58/15 (58 Ghatikas 15
Palas). ¼ of the Bhabhog comes to 14/52/44. That would be the value of one Pad.
Multiplying this by 3 will get Ghatikas of 3 Padas, namely 44/38/15. Deducting
this from Bhayat, the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of the 4th Pad will be
13/36/45. The full Dasha years are 100. Multiplying this by 13/36/45 we get
1300/3600/4500 = 1361/15. This divided by 15 will give the expired period at
birth, namely 90 years and 9 months. See the Kaal Chakr. There we count from
Jiva etc. to Deha. In the 4th Pad of Mrigashira Jiva is in Dhanu and Deha in
Mesh. Therefore, by deducting the total of years from Dhanu to Mithun, namely
77, from 90 years 9 months, we get the expired period of Vrishabh, namely 13
years and 9 months. By deducting this from the present 16 years of Sukr, we
will get 2 years and 3 months, as the balance of Dasha at birth. Accordingly,
like Vimshottari Dasha, the order of Dasha will be Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu,
Vrischik etc. For Example. Suppose, that at the time of birth of a person in
Kritika Nakshatr the longitude of Candr (Candr Spast) is 1r4°50’. This
converted into Kalas will be 2090 at birth. The Dasha should be taken, as
commencing from that. Divide the Kalas by 800 (1 Nakshatr). The result will be
the 2nd Nakshatr, namely Bharini and the remainder will be 490. These will be
the past Kalas of Kritika. There are 200 Kalas in one Pad (Navans). Divide 490,
the past Kalas of Kritika, by 200. We will then get 2, as past Padas and the
remainder 90 will represent the past Kalas of the present Nakshatr. By
multiplying this by 83, the Dasha years, we will get 7470, which, divided by
200, will indicate the expired portion of the Dasha, as 37 years, 4 months and
6 days. By deducting the years of Dehans, commencing from Vrishabh, in the
order Vrishabh, Mesh, Meen, Kumbh (16+7+10+4 = 37), we will get 0 years, 4
months and 6 days. This will be the expired portion of Makar. Deducting this
from 4, the Dasha period of Makar, we get the balance of the Dasha of Makar,
namely 3 years, 7 months and 24 days. See in this connection the Savya Kaal
Chakr. Gati of Rashis in the Kaal Chakr 96-98. There are three kinds of
movements (Gati) of the Rashis in the Kaal Chakr, namely Manduki, Markati and
Simhavlokan. The movement of one Rashi by jumping over one Rashi is known, as
Manduki Gati. Backward movement to the previous Rashi is called Markati Gati.
The movement of a Rashi to the 5th and 9th Rashi is said to be Simhavlokan.
99-100. Movement from Kanya to Kark and from Simh to Mithun is Manduki Gati.
Movement from Simh to Kark is Markati Gati. Movement from Meen to Vrischik and
from Dhanu to Mesh is called Simhavlokan Gati. Effects of Dashas of Rashis, as
a Result of these Gati 101-102. The effects of the Dasha of the Rashis with
Manduki Gati in the Savya Chakr are distress to friends, relations, parents and
elders and there is likely to be cause for trouble from poison, weapons,
thieves and enemies. In the Manduki Dasha of the Gati of a Rashi from Simh to
Mithun there is the likelihood of the death of the mother, or self, trouble
from Government and possibility of brain fever. 103. The effects of the Dasha
of Rashi with Markati Gati in the Savya Chakr are loss of wealth, agricultural
products and animals, death of father, or an elderly close relation and feeling
of lethargy. 104-105. The effects of the Dasha of the Rashis with Simhavlokan
Gati in the Savya Chakr are possibility of injury from animals, loss of amity
with friends, distress to near relations, drowning in a well, fall from
animals, possibility of harm from poison, weapons and diseases and destruction
of residential dwelling. 106-108. In the Dasha of the Rashis with the Manduki
Gati in the Apsavya Chakr the effects will be distress to wife and conditions,
loss of children, possibility of feverish conditions and loss of position. In
the Dasha of the Rashis with the Markati Gati there may be danger from watery
places, loss of position, distress from father, punishment from Government and
wandering in the forests; with the Simhavlokan there may be destruction of the
dwelling and death of father etc. 109-111. If the movement is from Meen to
Vrischik, the native may suffer from fever; if from Kanya to Kark, there may be
loss of brothers and kinsmen; if from Simh to Mithun, there may be ill health
of the wife; if from Simh to Kark, the native may die; if from Dhanu to Mesh,
there may be death of uncles and similar relations. If the Rashi is yuti with a
malefic, adverse conditions may be expected in the Dasha of the Rashi.
Favourable effects will be felt in its Dasha, if the Rashi is yuti with a
benefic. 112-113. O Brahmin! In the Kaal Chakr Dasha favourable and
unfavourable effects may be predicted, after taking into account the directions
of the Rashis and Grahas. 114-119. If the movement is from Kanya to Kark, good
results are realized in places, located in the East and at that time journeys
to the places in the North prove fruitful. Unfavourable effects will be felt in
places, located in the West and the South. It will be advisable not to
undertake journeys in those directions in the Dasha of these Rashis. If the
movement is from Simh to Mithun, no journey should be undertaken to places,
located in the East. However, the journeys to the South-West will prove
fruitful in the Dasha of those Rashis. If the movement is from Kark to Simh,
journeys during that period to the South will prove unfavourable and result in
loss and the native has to return from the South to the West. If the movement
is from Meen to Vrischik, there will distress, if the native goes to the North.
The same would happen, if the movement is from Dhanu to Makar. There may be ill
health, imprisonment, or death, if the movement is from Dhanu to Mesh. There
may be gains, comforts and property and marriage, if the movement is from Dhanu
to Vrischik. It will not be advisable to undertake journeys to the West during
the related period, if the movement is from Simh to Kark. Favourable results
should be predicted, if the Rashis are yuti with benefics and adverse, if the
Rashis are yuti with malefics. 120-122. According to the above-mentioned Kaal Chakr,
the person, born in the Ansas of the various Rashis, will be, as under. Mesh
Ans brave and a thief, Vrishabh wealthy, Mithun learned, Kark king, Simh
respected by king, Kanya learned, Tula minister, or adviser, Dhanu sinful,
Kumbh businessman, Meen wealthy. 123-128. If the Deha, or Jiva Rashis are yuti
with Surya, Mangal, Sani, or Rahu, the native will die. Worse results may be
expected, if the Deha and Jiva Rashis are yuti with two, or all of them. If
there is a malefic in Deha Rashi, the native suffers ill health; a malefic in a
Jiva Rashi will make the native very timid. If the Deha and/or Jiva Rashi are
yuti with two malefics, there will be distress and diseases. Three malefics in
the Deha and/or Jiva Rashi will cause premature death. Four malefics in the
Deha and Jiva Rashi will cause definite death. If both the Deha and Jiva Rashis
are occupied by malefics, there will be fear from king and thieves and death of
the native. If Surya is in the Deha, or Jiva Rashi, there will be danger from
fire. Candr in the Deha, or Jiva Rashi will cause danger from water, Mangal
fear from weapons, Budh fear from windy troubles, Sani fear from Gulma (a
disease), Rahu and Ketu fear from poison. If the Deha, or Jiva Rashis are
occupied by Budh, Guru and Sukr, the native will be wealthy, will enjoy all
kinds of comforts and will have good health. Mixed results may be expected, if
the Deha and Jiva Rashis are occupied by both benefics and malefics. 129-130.
In the Dasha of the Rashis, owned by malefics, the body and soul will be in
distress. The effects will be favourable in the Dasha of the Rashis, owned by
benefics. If a malefic Rashi is occupied by a benefic Grah, or, if a benefic
Rashi is occupied by a malefic Grah, the effects will be of a mixed nature.
Effects of Kaal Chakr Dasha of the Rashis in Lagn and other Bhavas. 131-132. In
the Kaal Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Lagn the body remains healthy and the
native spends a life with many kinds of comforts. If the Lagn Rashi is a
benefic one, the good effects are realized fully. If the Lagn Rashi is a
malefic Rashi, there is likelihood of ill health. If a Grah in exaltation, or
in its own Rashi occupies Lagn, the native is respected by the king, or
government and acquires wealth. 133-134. In the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in
Dhan the native receives good food, enjoys happiness of wife and children,
gains wealth, achieves progress in the educational sphere, becomes a clever
conversationalist and moves in good society. If the Rashi be a benefic, good
effects are realized in full, otherwise the effects would be of a mixed nature.
135-136. Happiness from co-borns, valour, patience, comforts, acquisition of
gold, ornaments and clothes and recognition by the king, or government, are the
effects in the Kaal Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Sahaj. If the Rashi is a
benefic, the good results are realized in full, otherwise adverse effects may
also be experienced. 137-138. Good relations with kinsmen, acquisition of land,
houses, or a kingdom, conveyances and clothes and enjoyment of sound health,
are the effects of the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Bandhu. If the Rashi is a
benefic one, the good effects are realized in full. If it is a malefic Rashi,
adverse results are also experienced. 139-140. Being blessed with wife and
children, favours from Government, enjoyment of sound health, good relations
with friends, achievement of fame, good progress in the educational sphere,
patience and valour are the effects of the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Putr. If
the Rashi is a benefic one, the good results are enjoyed in full. If the Rashi
is a malefic one, adverse effects are also experienced. 141-142. Danger from
the king, fire and weapons and the possibility of suffering from diabetes,
Gulma and jaundice are the effects in the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Ari. If
the Rashi is a malefic one, the above adverse effects will be experienced in
full. There will be some mitigation of the evil effects in the case of a
benefic Rashi. 143-144. Marriage, conjugal happiness, being blessed with
children, gain of agricultural products, cows and clothes, favours and
recognition from the king and achievement of fame, are the effects in the Chakr
Dasha of the Rashi in Yuvati. The beneficial results will be experienced in
full, if the Rashi is a benefic one. Meagre good effects will be realized in
the case of a malefic Rashi. 145-146. Destruction of a residential house,
distress, loss of wealth, poverty and danger from enemies are the effects of
the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Randhr. The adverse effects will be realized in
full, if the Rashi is a malefic one. Some mitigation in evil effects may be
expected in the case of a benefic Rashi. (147-157) … …Char 158-166. Now I will
tell you about the working out of the Dasha years of Vrischik and Kumbh. If
both the Lords of the two Rashis, Vrischik and Kumbh, are placed in their own
Rashis, their Dasha will be of 12 years. Otherwise the Dasha will be of the
number of years, indicated by the number, counted from that Rashi to the Rashi,
occupied by its Lord. If one Grah be in his own Rashi and the other in any
other Rashi, the Dasha will be of the number of years counted, from the above
first Rashi to the other. If the Lords are in different Rashis, the counting is
to be done up to the Rashi, which is stronger. The Rashi, which has a Grah,
placed in it, is considered more powerful than the Rashi without a Grah in it.
If both are with Grahas in them, the one with more Grahas would be considered
more powerful. If both Rashis are occupied by an equal number of Grahas, the
strength of the Rashi itself should be taken into account. The principle for
considering the Bal of the Rashi is, that the Fixed Rashi is considered
stronger than the Movable one and the Dual Rashi is considered more powerful
than the Fixed Rashi. If there is equality in the strength of the Rashis, then
to determine the number of years of Dasha counting should be done up to the
Rashi with bigger number. If one Rashi is occupied by a Grah in exaltation, the
counting should be done up to that Rashi only. In addition 1 should be added in
the number of years in the case of a Rashi with an exalted Grah and 1 should be
deducted from the number of years in the case of a Rashi with a Grah in
debilitation. The prediction should be made after calculating the Dashas in
this manner. 167. If the Rashi in Dharm Bhava is in an odd Pad, the counting
should be from the Rashi in the Lagn onwards. The counting would be in the
reverse order, if the Pad is even. The Dashas of Rashis have to be fixed,
keeping this in view. For Example. In the above Tula is the Rashi in Dharm
Bhava in an odd Pad. Amongst the Lords of Lagn, Sani and Rahu, Rahu is
associated with a Grah. Therefore Rahu is more powerful than, Sani. Therefore
counting should be done up to Rahu. Kumbh is in even Pad, therefore counting has
to be done from Kumbh up to Rahu in the reverse order, by which the Char Dasha
for Kumbh would come to 8 years. Mesh is in odd Pad. Therefore the Char Dasha
for Mesh will be one year. The Dasha of other Rashis should be calculated in
the same manner. Sthir 168-169. Maharishi Parashar said. Now I am going to
describe the Sthir Dasha. In this Dasha system 7, 8 and 9 years are the Dasha
spans of the Movable (Char), Fixed (Sthir) and Dual (Dvisva Bhava) Rashis. In
this system the Dasha of the 12 Rashis begins from the Brahm Grah Ashrit Rashi.
The Dashas are counted onwards from the odd Rashis and in the reverse order
from the even Rashis. 170-173. Maitreya said. O great Sage! Now please
enlighten me how the Brahm Grah is picked out in a chart. Maharishi Parashar
said. From amongst the Lords of Ari, Randhr and Vyaya the Grah, who may possess
the greatest strength and is placed in Lagn, or in Yuvati with strength, the
one, placed in an odd Rashi within sixth Bhava from the Bhava concerned, is
called the Brahm Grah. The Lord of Randhr in Randhr is also accepted, as Brahm
Grah. If Sani, or Rahu/Ketu obtain Brahmatva (qualifications of Brahm Grah),
they become Brahm Grah. If a number of Grahas obtain Brahmatva, the one with
the largest number of degrees would become Brahm Grah. If there is parity in
the degrees of such Grahas, the most powerful amongst them would become Brahm
Grah. Yogardha 174. The spans of Dashas of the Rashis in the Yogardha Dasha
system are half of the total of the spans of Char and Sthir Dashas. The Dasha
will commence from the Rashi of Lagn, or Yuvati, whichever is stronger. The
order of the Dashas of the 12 Rashis will be counted onwards, if the opening
Dasha Rashi is an odd one. If it be an even Rashi, the Dashas will be in
reverse order. Kendradi 175-176. In this system there are Dashas of Fixed
Rashis in the Kendr etc. from Lagn, or from Yuvati, whichever is stronger. If
Lagn, or Yuvati with strength is placed in an odd Rashi, the Kendr etc. are
counted in the onward order. If it be in an even Rashi, the counting will be in
the backward, or reverse order. In them also the Dashas would be in the order
of comparative strength of the Rashis. The order of Dashas would be the same,
as reckoned from the Atma Karak. The spans of Dashas would be the same, as they
are in the Char Dasha. In calculating the years of Dashas of Grahas, counting
is done from the Grah to his own Rashi. The years of Dashas would be the
number, arrived at by counting up to the Rashi of the Grah, which is stronger,
or more in number. 177. If a Grah owns two Rashis, the Dasha years will be
equal to the number, which is greater, when counted from the Rashi, occupied by
him. Notes. Under this system Dashas are of two kinds, namely Lagn Kendradi and
Atma Karak Kendradi. There are also Kendradi Rashi Dasha, or Kendradi Grah
Dasha in both the Dasha systems, mentioned above. Karak 178. The system, under
which the first Dasha is of the Atma Karak and the subsequent Dashas are of the
remaining 7 Karakas in their order is known, as Karak Dasha. In this system the
Dasha years are equal to the number of Rashis, counted from Lagn up to the
Karak concerned. Manduk 179-180. Under the Manduk Dasha system the Dasha
commences from Lagn, or Yuvati Bhava, whichever is stronger. If the Rashi of
commencement is an odd Rashi, the Dashas of 3 Movable, 3 Fixed and 3 Dual
Rashis will be counted in the onwards order. They will be in the reverse order
in the case of an even Rashi. In this system the Dasha years will be the same,
as in Sthir Dasha. In this system every Dasha is of the next 3rd Rashi. Shula
181-182. Some sages have designed the Shula Dasha for determining the time of
death. In this system the Dasha commences from Dhan, or Randhr, whichever is
stronger. If the Rashi is an odd one, the order of the Dasha Rashis will be
onwards. It will be backwards in the case of an even Rashi. The Dasha years in
this system are, as adopted for the Sthir Dasha. There is a possibility, that
death appears in the Dasha of the Marak Rashi, which has greater strength. Trikon
183-184. In this system the first Dasha commences from the strongest amongst
the Rashis in Kon (Trikon) to Lagn (Tanu, Putr and Dharm). This system is
similar to the Char Dasha. Here also the Dashas of the Rashis will be in the
onwards order in the case of odd Rashis and in the reverse order in the case of
even Rashis. The Dasha years will be similar to that of Char Dasha. It has been
named Trikon because of the commencement of the Dasha from the Rashis in Konas.
Dirga 185-187. In this system the order of the Dashas is, as follows: the
Rashi, occupying Dharm, the Rashis, receiving a Drishti from the Rashi in
Dharm, the Rashi in Karm, the Rashis, receiving a Drishti from the Rashi in
Karm, the Rashi in Labh and the Rashis, receiving a Drishti from the Rashi in
Labh. As this system is mostly based on Drishtis, it has been named, as Dirga
Dasha. Three different processes are adopted for the Movable, Fixed and Dual
Rashis from Dharm, Karm and Labh. According to them, Rashi, which receives a
Drishti from the Movable Rashi, is counted backwards and the Rashi, receiving a
Drishti from the Fixed Rashi, is counted onwards. In the case of the Dual
Rashi, if it is odd, the counting is onwards and the order is backwards in case
of an even Rashi for the Rashis, receiving a Drishti. Notes. The intention is,
that from the point of view of Drishti the process of Rashi, receiving a
Drishti, should be started from the Rashi, which is nearest. In this connection
readers may refer to Rashi Drishtikathan Adhyaya, Ch. 8, Verse 9 and the table
after that. Lagnadi Rashi Dasha 188-189. In this system there are Dashas of all
the 12 Rashis, including Lagn, in every Nakshatr. Consequently the Bhayat at
birth may be multiplied by 12 and then the product should be divided by
Bhabhog. The Rashi, degree etc. so available may be added to the longitude of
Lagn. From the Rashi, becoming available by doing so, will start the Dashas of
the 12 Rashis. (If that Rashi is odd, the counting will be onwards. It will be
in the reverse order, if the Rashi is even) 190. For finding the balance of
Dasha at birth, multiply the expired degree etc. by the Dasha years of the
first Dasha Rashi and divide it by 30. The years etc. so arrived at may be
deducted from the Dasha years. The result will indicate the balance of Dasha at
birth in years, months etc. Panch Swar Dasha 191-194. Beginning from Akaradhi 5
Swaras (a, i, u, e, o), write underneath them the Varnas in 6 lines. Leave out
the letters ‘na’, ‘ña’ and ‘na’, because they are not used in names. If they are
found in any name, ‘ga’ may be substituted for ‘na’, ‘ja’ for ‘ña’ and ‘da’ for
‘na’ for working out the Dashas and making predictions. In this manner the
Swar, under which the first Varna of the name of the native is found, will
determine the order of the Dashas of the five Swaras. Dashas are of 12 years
for all the five Swaras. In the Dasha of every Swar there will be Antar Dashas
of all the five Swaras in the same order. Yogini 195-199. Maharishi Parashar
said. O Brahmin! I have already given you the description of Panch Swar Dasha.
Now I will acquaint you with the Yogini Dasha, as described by Lord Mahadeva.
There are 8 Yoginis, namely Mangal, Pingal, Dhanya, Bhramari, Bhadrika, Ulka,
Siddha and Sankat. Candr, Surya, Guru, Mangal, Budh, Sani, Sukr and Rahu are
born from them. Add 3 to the Janm Nakshatr and divide it by 8. The remainder
will indicate the Yogini Dasha of Mangal, etc. The Dashas are of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7 and 8 years. The balance of Dasha at birth should be worked out from the
Bhayat and Bhabhog etc., as already explained earlier. Pind, Ans and Nisarg
201-202. The Pind, Ans and Nisarg Dasha will be the same, as Pindayu, Ansayu
and Nisargayu, the method of determination of which has already been explained
previously. The order of Dashas will be, as follows. The first will be of Lagn,
Surya, or Candr, whoever is stronger. The subsequent Dashas will be of Grahas
in Kendr to them, then of Grahas in Panaphara Bhavas and lastly in Apoklima
Bhavas. The Dashas and Antar Dashas of Lagn and the seven Grahas will also be
in the same order. 203. The effects of these Dashas will be in accordance with
Ashtak Varg Bal, which subject will be dealt with later. These Dashas are also
called Ashtak Varg Dashas. Sandhya 204. Sandhya is the Dvadashans Ayurdaya of
the Param Ayurdaya (maximum possible life-span). In Sandhya Dasha the Dasha of
all the Rashis from Lagn onwards is of 1/12 the years of Param Ayurdaya. Pachak
Dasha in Sandhya Dasha 205-206. By multiplying the Dasha years of Sandhya Dasha
by 6 and dividing the product by 31, the years, months etc. so arrived at may
be put in one apartment of a Table. Thereafter half of these years, months etc.
may be written in the next three apartments. The remaining 8 apartments may be
filled in by one third of the aforesaid years, months etc. In this manner
Pachak Dasha in Sandhya Dasha of every Bhava can be worked out and predictions
may be made from it. Tar 207-209. O Brahmin! Some sages have given
consideration to Tar Dasha, which is like Vimshottari. In this Dasha Janm,
Sampat etc. in their order replace Surya, Candr etc., placed in Kendras. This
Dasha is applied in those cases only, where there are Grahas in Kendras. If
there are a number of Grahas, the first Dasha will belong to the strongest
amongst them. 210. O Brahmin! I have now completed the description of the
different kinds of Dashas. I will give the description of their Antar Dashas
(sub-periods) later.
Ch. 47. Effects of Dashas
1. Maitreya said. O Maharishi Parashar! You have told me
about the different kinds of Dashas. Now be kind enough to enlighten me with
the effects of Dashas. 2. Maharishi Parashar replied. O Brahmin! There are two
kinds of effects of Dashas: general and distinctive. The natural
characteristics of the Grahas cause the general effects and the distinctive
effects are realized by their placements etc. 3-4. The effects of the Dashas of
the Grahas are in accordance with their strength. The effects of a Grah in the
first Dreshkan are realized at the commencement of the Dasha. The Grah in the
second Dreshkan makes its effects felt in the middle of the Dasha. The effects
of the Grah in the third Dreshkan are experienced at the end of the Dasha. If
the Grah is retrograde, these effects would be in the reverse order. The Dasha
effects of Rahu and Ketu, who are always retrograde, will always be realized in
the reverse order. 5-6. The effects are favourable, if at the commencement of
the Dasha the Dasha Lord is in Lagn, in his exaltation, own, or a Shant Rashi.
The results are unfavourable, if the Dasha Lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya
Bhava, in his debilitation, or in an inimical Rashi. 7-11. During the Dasha of
Surya there is acquisition of wealth, great felicity and honours from the
Government, if at the time of birth Surya is in his own Rashi, in his
exaltation Rashi, in a Kendr, in Labh, be associated with the Lord of Dharm, or
the Lord of Karm and strong in his Varg. The native will be blessed with a son
(children), if Surya is with the Lord of Putr. The native will acquire
elephants and other kinds of wealth, if Surya is associated with the Lord of
Dhan. The native will enjoy comforts of conveyances, if Surya is associated
with the Lord of Bandhu. He attains a high position, like that of Army Chief,
by the beneficence of the king and enjoys all kinds of happiness. Thus during
the Dasha of a strong (and favourable) Surya there are acquisitions of clothes,
agricultural products, wealth, honours, conveyances etc. 12-15. During the
Dasha of Surya there will be anxieties, loss of wealth, punishment from
Government, defamation, opposition by kinsmen, distress to father,
(in)auspicious happenings at home, distress to paternal and maternal uncles
etc., anxiety and inimical relations with other people for no reason
whatsoever, should Surya be in his Rashi of debilitation, be weak in Ari,
Randhr, or Vyaya, or be associated with malefic Grahas, or with the Lord of
Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya. There will be some favourable effects at times, if in
the above situations Surya receives a Drishti from benefic Grahas. The effects
will always be unfavourable, when malefic Grahas give a Drishti to Surya.
16-22. O Brahmin! After describing the effects of the Dasha of Surya in brief,
I will now come to the effects of Vimshottari Dasha of Candr. During the Dasha
of Candr from its commencement to the end there will be opulence and glory,
good fortune, gain of wealth, auspicious functions at home, dawn of fortune,
attainment of a high position in Government, acquisition of conveyances,
clothes, birth of children and acquisition of cattle, should Candr be in her
exaltation, in her own Rashi, in Kendr, in Labh, Dharm, or Putr, be associated
with, or receives a Drishti from benefics, be fully powerful and is associated
with the Lord of Karm, Dharm, or Bandhu. There will be extraordinary gains of
wealth and luxuries, if such a Candr is in Dhan Bhava. 23-26. Should Candr be
waning, or in her debilitation Rashi, there will be loss of wealth in her
Dasha. If Candr is in Sahaj, there will be happiness off and on. If Candr is
associated with malefics, there will be idiocy, mental tension, trouble from
employees and mother and loss of wealth. If waning Candr is in Ari, Randhr, or
Vyaya, or is associated with malefics, there will be inimical relations with
Government, loss of wealth, distress to mother and similar evil effects. If a
strong Candr is placed in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya there will be troubles and good
times off and on. 27-32. If Mangal is in his exaltation, in his Multrikon, in
his own Rashi, in Kendr, in Labh, or Dhan Bhava with strength, in a benefic Ans
(Navans) and is associated with a benefic, there will be during his Dasha
acquisition of kingdom (attainment of a high administrative, or political
position in Government, gain of wealth and land, recognition by Government),
gain of wealth from foreign countries and acquisition of conveyances and
ornaments. There will also be happiness and good relations with co-borns. If
Mangal with strength is placed in a Kendr, or in Sahaj, there will be gain of
wealth through valour, victory over enemies, happiness from wife and children.
There will, however, be a possibility of some unfavourable effects at the end
of the Dasha. 33. If Mangal is in his debilitation Rashi, weak, in an
inauspicious Bhava, or is associated with, or receives a Drishti from malefics,
there will be in his Dasha loss of wealth, distress and similar unfavourable
effects. 34-39½. In order to clarify the effects of the Dasha of Rahu I shall
first mention the exaltation and debilitation Rashis of Rahu and Ketu. The
exaltation Rashi of Rahu is Vrishabh. The exaltation Rashi of Ketu is Vrischik.
The Multrikonas of Rahu and Ketu are Mithun and Dhanu. The own Rashis of Rahu
and Ketu are Kumbh and Vrischik. Some sages have expressed the view, that Kanya
is the own Rashi of Rahu and Meen is the own Rashi of Ketu. Should Rahu be in
his exaltation Rashi etc., there will be during the Dasha of Rahu great
happiness from acquisition of wealth, agricultural products etc., acquisition
of conveyances with the help of friends and Government, construction of a new
house, birth of sons (children), religious inclinations, recognition from
Government of foreign countries and gain of wealth, clothes etc. If Rahu be
associated with, or receives a Drishti from benefics, be in a benefic Rashi and
be in Tanu, Bandhu, Yuvati, Karm, Labh, or Sahaj, there will be during his
Dasha all kinds of comforts by the beneficence of the Government, acquisition
of wealth through a foreign Government, or sovereign and felicity at home.
40-43. If Rahu is in Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be during his Dasha all
kinds of troubles and distress. If Rahu is associated with a malefic, or a
Marak Grah, or is in his debilitation Rashi, there will be loss of position,
destruction of his residential house, mental agony, trouble to wife and
children and misfortune of getting bad food. There will be loss of wealth at
the commencement of the Dasha, some relief and gain of wealth in his own
country and distress and anxieties during the last portion of the Dasha. 44.
Now I am going to describe the effects of the Dasha of Guru, the great benefic
and preceptor of the Gods. 45-48. If Guru is in his exaltation, his own Rashi,
his Multrikon, in Karm, Putr, or Dharm Bhava, in his own Navans, or in his
exalted Navans, there will be during his Dasha: acquisition of kingdom, great
felicity, recognition by Government, acquisition of conveyances and clothes,
devotion to deities and Brahmins, happiness in respect of his wife and children
and success in the performance of religious sacrifices (oblations). 49-51. If
Guru is in his debilitation Rashi, combust, associated with malefics, or in
Ari, or Randhr, there will be during his Dasha loss of residential premises,
anxiety, distress to children, loss of cattle and pilgrimage. The Dasha will
give some unfavourable effects at its commencement only. During the later part
of the Dasha there will be good effects, like gain of wealth, awards from and
recognition by Government. 52. Now I will describe to you the effects of the
Dasha of Sani, who is considered the vilest and most inferior amongst all the
Grahas. 53-56. If Sani is in his exaltation, in his own Rashi, or in Multrikon,
or friendly Rashi, in his own, or exalted Navans and in Sahaj, or Labh, there
will be during his Dasha recognition by Government, opulence and glory, name
and fame, success in the educational sphere, acquisition of conveyances and
ornaments etc., gain of wealth, favours from Government, attainment of a high
position, like Commander of an Army, acquisition of a kingdom, benevolence of
goddess Lakshmi, gain of property and birth of children. 57-60. If Sani is in
Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya, in his debilitation Rashi, or combust, there will be
during his Dasha ill effects from poison, injury from weapons, separation from
father, distress to wife and children, disaster, as a result of displeasure of
Government, imprisonment etc. If Sani receives a Drishti from, or is associated
with a benefic, is placed in a Kendr, or in a Trikon, in Dhanu, or in Meen,
there will be acquisition of a kingdom, conveyances and clothes. 61. Now I am
going to describe the effects of the Dasha of Budh, who is called a Kumar (in
his teens) amongst all the Grahas. 62-65. If Budh is in his exaltation, in his
own, in a friendly Rashi, or in Labh, Putr, or Dharm, there will be during his
Dasha acquisition of wealth, gain of reputation, improvement in knowledge,
benevolence of Government, auspicious functions, happiness from wife and
children, good health, availability of sweetish preparations, profits in
business etc. If Budh receives a Drishti from a benefic, is in Dharm, or is the
Lord of Karm, the aforesaid beneficial results will be experienced in full and
there will be great felicity all-round. 66-70. If Budh is associated with a
malefic, there will be during his Dasha punishment by Government, inimical
relations with kinsmen, journey to a foreign country, dependence on others and
the possibility of urinary troubles. If Budh is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya, there
will be loss of wealth, due to indulgence in lascivious activities, possibility
of suffering from rheumatism and jaundice, danger of thefts and malevolence of
Government, loss of land and cattle etc. At the commencement of the Dasha of
Budh, there will be gains of wealth, betterment in the educational sphere, birth
of children and happiness. In the middle of the Dasha, there will be
recognition from Government. The last part of the Dasha will be distressful.
71. Now I will tell you about the Dasha of Ketu, who is a headless trunk
(Kabandha) amongst all the Grahas. 72-77. If Ketu is in a Kendr, a Trikon, or
in Labh, in a benefic Rashi, in his exaltation, or in his own Rashi, there will
be during his Dasha cordial relations with the king, desired headship of a
country, or village, comforts of conveyances, happiness from children, gain
from foreign countries, happiness from wife and acquisition of cattle. If Ketu
is in Sahaj, Ari, or Labh, there will be in his Dasha acquisition of a kingdom,
good relations with friends and opportunities for the acquisition of elephants.
At the commencement of the Ketu Dasha there will be Raj Yog. During the middle
portion of the Dasha there will be possibilities of fearfulness and in the last
part there will be sufferings from ailments and journeys to distant places. If
Ketu is in Dhan, Randhr, or Vyaya, or receives a Drishti from a malefic, there
will be imprisonment, destruction of kinsmen and residential premises and
anxieties, company of menials and diseases. 78. Now I will describe the effects
of the Dasha of Sukr, who is the incarnate of intoxication, ecstasy, delight
and pride amongst all the Grahas. 79-82. If Sukr is in his exaltation, in his
own Rashi, or in a Kendr, or a Trikon, there will be during his Dasha
acquisition of fancy clothes, ornaments, conveyances, cattle and land etc.,
availability of sweet preparations every day, recognition from the sovereign,
luxurious functions of songs and dances etc. by the benevolence of Goddess
Lakshmi. If Sukr is in his Multrikon, during his Dasha there will definitely be
acquisition of a kingdom, acquisition of a house, birth of children and
grandchildren, celebration of marriage in the family, attainment of a high
position, like the Commander of an Army, visits of friends, recovery of lost
wealth, property, or kingdom. 83-84½. If Sukr is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya,
there will be during his Dasha inimical relations with kinsmen, distress to
wife, losses in business, destruction of cattle and separation from relations.
85-87. If Sukr is in Bandhu, as Lord of Dharm, or Karm, there will be during
his Dasha attainment of rulership of a country, or village, performance of
pious deeds, like building of reservoirs and temples and giving grains etc. in
charity, availability of sweet preparations every day, vigor in work, name and
fame and happiness from wife and children. 88-89. Similar are the effects of
Sukr in his sub-periods. If Sukr is Lord of Dhan, or Yuvati, there will be
during his Dasha physical pains and troubles. To get alleviation from those
troubles the native should perform Shatarudriya, or Mrityunjaya Japa in the
prescribed manner and give in charity a cow, or female buffalo.
Ch. 48. Distinctive Effects of the Nakshatr Dasha, or of the
Dashas of the Lords (Vimshottari) of various Bhavas
1. If the Lord of Karm is placed in an auspicious Bhava in
his exaltation Rashi etc., his Dasha effects will be favourable. The effects
will be adverse, if the Lord of Karm is in his debilitation Rashi and occupies
an inauspicious Bhava. This proves, that an inauspicious Grah in his exaltation
Rashi etc. will not produce unfavourable results, if placed in an auspicious
Bhava and a benefic, being in his debilitation Rashi and being placed in an
inauspicious Bhava, will produce adverse effects. Now I will describe the
effects of the Dasha of the Lords of various Bhavas, who are related to each
other. 2-4. There will be physical well-being in the Dasha of the Lord of Lagn,
distress and possibility of death in the Dasha of the Lord of Dhan,
unfavourable effects in the Dasha of the Lord of Sahaj, acquisition of house
and land in the Dasha of the Lord of Bandhu, progress in educational sphere and
happiness from the children in the Dasha of the Lord of Putr and danger from
enemies and ill health in the Dasha of the Lord of Ari. 5-8. There will be
distress to wife and the possibility of the death of the native in the Dasha of
the Lord of Yuvati, the possibility of death and financial losses in the Dasha
of the Lord of Randhr, improvement in the educational sphere,
religious-mindedness and unexpected gains of wealth in the Dasha of the Lord of
Dharm, recognition from and awards by the Government in the Dasha of the Lord
of Karm, obstacles in gains of wealth and the possibility of diseases in the
Dasha of the Lord of Labh and distress and danger from diseases in the Dasha of
the Lord of Vyaya. A Grah, placed in an auspicious Bhava, like Trikon etc., at
the commencement of the Dasha, produces favourable results in his Dasha. The
Grah, placed in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya at that time, yields only adverse results
during his Dasha. It is therefore essential, that the placement of a Grah at
the time of birth and at the commencement of the Dasha should both be taken
into account for the assessment of the Dasha effects. 14-17½. The Dasha of
Ari’s, Randhr’s, or Vyaya’s Lord also becomes favourable, if they get
associated with the Lord of a Trikon. If the Lord of a Kendr is in a Trikon, or
the Lord of a Trikon is in a Kendr, the Dasha of the Grah, yuti with either of
them, becomes favourable. The Dasha of a Grah, receiving a Drishti from the
Lord of a Kendr, or Trikon is also favourable. If Dharm’s Lord is in Lagn and
Lagn’s Lord is in Dharm, the Dashas of both of them will produce extremely
beneficial results. There will be acquisition of a kingdom in the Dashas of
Lagn’s Lord and Karm’s Lord, if Karm’s Lord is in Lagn and Lagn’s Lord is in
Karm. 18-20. The Dasha of Sahaj’s, Ari’s and Labh’s Lord, of the Grahas, placed
in Sahaj, Ari and Labh and of the Grahas, yuti with the above, will prove
unfavourable. The Dasha of the Grahas, associated with the Lords of Marak
Bhavas, namely Dhan and Yuvati, in Dhan, or Yuvati and the Dashas of the
Grahas, placed in Randhr, will produce unfavourable effects. Thus the Dashas
should be considered favourable, after taking into account the placement of a
Grah and his relationship of one Grah with the other. (Rahu and Ketu give
favourable results in Sahaj, Ari and Labh).
Ch. 49. Effects of the Kaal Chakr
1-5. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! I am now going to
describe to you the effects of the Kaal Chakr Dasha. During the Dasha of the
Rashi, owned, or occupied by Surya, there will be ill health, due to the blood,
or bile troubles; … Candr, there will be gain of wealth and clothes, name and
fame and birth of children; … Mangal, there will be bilious fever, gout and
wounds; … Budh, there will be acquisition of wealth and birth of children; …
Guru, there will be increase in the number of children, acquisition of wealth
and enjoyment; … Sukr, there will be acquisition of learning, marriage and gain
of wealth; … occupied by Sani, there will be all kinds of adverse happenings.
The Effects of the Dashas on the Basis of the Navans of each Rashi 6-7. In the
Kaal Chakr Dasha of Mesh in Mesh Navans there will be distress, due to
troubles, caused by the pollution of blood. In the Dasha of Mesh in the Navans
of Vrishabh there will be increase in wealth and agricultural product. In the
Navans of Mithun there will be advancement of knowledge. In the Navans of Kark
there will be acquisition of wealth, in the Simh Navans danger from enemies, in
the Kanya distress to wife, in the Tula kingship, in the Vrischik death and in
the Dhanu acquisition of wealth. Such will be the effects of the 9 Padas of
Mesh. In assessing the net effects the nature of the Grah, occupying the Rashi,
should also be taken into account. 8-10. In the Dasha of Makar Navans in
Vrishabh there will be tendency to perform undesirable deeds along with more
adverse effects. In the Kumbh Navans there will be profits in business, in the
Meen success in all ventures, in the Dasha of Vrischik Navans danger from fire,
in the Dasha of Tula Navans recognition from Government and reverence from all,
in the Dasha of Kanya Navans danger from enemies, in the Dasha of Kark Navans
distress to wife, in the Dasha of Simh Navans diseases of eyes and in the Dasha
of Mithun Navans obstacles in earning livelihood. Such will be the effects of
the 9 Navansas of Vrishabh. Similar interpretation should be made of further
verses on this subject. 11-12. In Mithun in the Dasha of the Vrishabh Ans there
will be acquisition of wealth, in the Dasha of Mesh Ans attacks of fever, in
the Dasha of Meen Ans affectionate relations with maternal uncle, in the Dasha
of Kumbh Ans increase in the number of enemies, in the Dasha of Makar Ans danger
from thieves, in the Dasha of Dhanu Ans increase in the stock of weapons, in
the Dasha of Vrishabh Ans injury by some weapon and in the Dasha of Mithun Ans
enjoyment. 13-15. In Kark in the Dasha of Kark Ans there will be distress, …
Simh displeasure of the sovereign, … Kanya reverence from kinsmen, … Tula
beneficence, … Vrischik creation of obstacles by father, … Dhanu increase of
learning and wealth, … Makar danger from water, … Kumbh increase in the
production of agricultural products and in the Dasha of the Meen Ans
acquisition of more wealth and enjoyment. 16-17. In Simh in the Dasha of the
Navans of Vrischik there will be distress and disputes, … Tula extraordinary
gains, … Kanya gains of wealth, … Kark danger from wild animals, … Simh birth
of a son, … Mithun increase of enemies, … Vrishabh gains from sale of cattle, …
Mesh danger from animals and in the Dasha of Meen Ans journeys to distant
places. 18-19. In Kanya in the Dasha of Kumbh Ans there will be acquisition of
wealth, … Makar financial gains, … Dhanu mingling with kinsmen, … Mesh
happiness from mother, … Vrishabh birth of children, … Mithun increase in
enemies, … Kark love with some woman, … Simh aggravation of diseases and in the
Dasha of Kanya Ans birth of children. 20-22. In Tula in the Dasha of Tula Ans
there will be financial gains, … Vrischik good relations with kinsmen, … Dhanu
happiness from father, … Makar disputes with mother, … Kumbh birth of a son and
financial gains, … Meen entanglement with enemies, … Vrischik disputes with
women, … Tula danger from water and in Dasha of Kanya Ans more financial gains.
23-24½. In Vrischik in the Dasha of Kark Ans there will be financial gains, …
Simh opposition to the king, … Mithun acquisition of land, … Vrishabh financial
gains, … Mesh danger from reptiles, … Meen danger from water, … Kumbh profits
in business, … Makar profits in business, … Makar possibility of suffering from
diseases and in the Dasha of Dhanu Ans financial gains. 25-27. In Dhanu in the
Dasha of Mesh Ans there will be financial gains, … Vrishabh acquisition of more
land, … Mithun success in ventures, … Kark success all round, … Simh increase
in the accumulated wealth, … Kanya disputes, … Tula financial gains, … Vrischik
affliction with diseases, … Dhanu happiness from children. 28-29. In Makar in
the Dasha of Makar Ans there will be happiness from children, … Kumbh gain of
agricultural products, … Meen well being, … Vrischik danger from poison, … Tula
financial gains, … Kanya increase in enemies, … Kark acquisition of property, …
Simh danger from wild animals and in the Dasha of Mithun Ans danger of falling
from a tree. 30-32. In Kumbh in the Dasha of Vrishabh Ans there will be
financial gains, … Mesh diseases of the eyes, … Meen journeys to distant
places, … Kumbh increase in wealth, … Makar success in all kinds of ventures, …
Dhanu more enemies, … Mesh loss of happiness and enjoyment, … Vrishabh death, …
Mithun well being. 33-34½. In the Meen in the Dasha of Kark Ans there will be
increase in wealth, … Simh recognition by Government, … Kanya financial gains,
… Tula gains from all sources, … Vrischik fever, … Dhanu more enemies, … Makar
conjugal disputes, … Kumbh danger from water and in the Dasha of Meen Ans good
fortune all-round. In this manner on the Kaal Chakr, prepared on the basis of
Pad of the Janm Nakshatr, the Dashas of the Navans Rashis and their duration
can be assessed and prediction can be made for the whole life of the native.
Appropriate remedial measures (recitation of Mantras, oblations etc.) should be
taken to alleviate the adverse effects, caused by malefic Dashas. 35-37. The
effects of Dasha in Raj Yog etc. have already been described in Vol. I of this
book. The same should be applied in a judicious manner in the Kaal Chakr. These
are in brief effects of Kaal Chakr Dasha.
Ch. 50. Effects of the Char etc. Dashas
1-3. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! I have already
described the Char etc. Dashas. Now I am going to tell you the effects of these
Dashas. The effects of the Dashas of the Rashis should be judged from the
strength of the Lords of Rashis and whether they are benefics, or malefics. If
the Lord of a Rashi possesses full strength, the effects of the Dasha of the
Rashi will be realized in full. The effects of the Dasha will be of medium
nature, if the strength is medium. If the Lord of Rashi possesses little
strength, the effects will be experienced accordingly. 4-10. If there are
malefics in the 8th, the 5th and the 9th from a Dasha Rashi, the effects of the
Dasha of that Rashi will be distressful. If there are malefics in the 3rd and
the 6th from a Dasha Rashi, the effects of the Dasha will be victory over
enemies and happiness. If there are benefics in the 3rd and the 6th from the
Dasha Rashi, there will be defeat in its Dasha. If there are benefics, or malefics
in the 11th from the Dasha Rashi, there will be conquests and happiness in the
Dasha. If the Dasha Rashi is occupied by, or is owned by a benefic, the effects
of its Dasha will be beneficial. If a Dasha Rashi, owned by a benefic, is
occupied by a malefic, favourable effects will be experienced in the first part
of the Dasha and they will be adverse in the latter part. If a Dasha Rashi,
owned by a malefic is occupied by a benefic, the effects of the Dasha will be
the same. A Dasha Rashi, owned and occupied by a malefic will always yield
unfavourable results. The reverse will be the case in the case of the Dasha
Rashi, owned and occupied by a benefic. If a Dasha Rashi, owned by a benefic,
is occupied by both benefic and malefic Grahas, the effects of Dasha will be
adverse in its first part and favourable in the latter part. 11-17. The
assessment of the effects of the Dasha of the Dasha Rashi should be made after
taking into account the disposition of the Grahas in the Rashi at birth and the
disposition of Grahas during the Dasha. If the Dasha Rashi is well disposed
both at the time of birth and during its Dasha, the beneficial results will be
realized in full. If it is ill-disposed during the Dasha, the effects will be
of mixed nature. If the Dasha Rashi is ill-disposed both at the time of birth
and during its Dasha, only evil effects will be experienced. 18-19. The effects
of the Dasha will be favourable, if it is occupied by a benefic and there is
also a benefic in the Rashi previous to it. If the Rashi is occupied by a
malefic, the effects will be of adverse nature. If there are benefics in Putr
and Dharm, the effects of its Dasha will be favourable. The reverse will be the
case, if Putr and Dharm are occupied by malefics. 20-21. Kumbh, Vrishabh, Simh
and Vrischik are Badhak Bhavas for the four Movable Rashis: Mesh, Kark, Tula
and Makar. In other words the 11th Rashi to a Movable Rashi is its Badhak
Bhava. If there is a malefic in the Bhava, occupied by its Lord, or in Badhak
Bhava of that Rashi, there will be occasions of great sorrow, imprisonment and
diseases during the Dasha. 22. The Dasha of a Rashi will be favourable, if it
is occupied by its own Lord, or an exalted Grah. The Dasha of a Rashi, not
occupied by any Grah, will be adverse. 23-25. There will be great danger,
imprisonment during a journey, displeasure of Government and danger from
enemies in the Dasha and Antar Dasha of the Rashi, from which its Badhak Bhava,
Vyaya, Ari and Randhr are occupied by Rahu. There will be loss, due to the displeasure
of the king and danger therefrom in the Antar Dasha of the Rashi, that is
occupied by Surya, Mangal, Rahu and Sani. There will be the possibility of
death, if the 5th and the 9th from the Antar Dasha Rashi are occupied by a
debilitated, or malefic Grah. 26-28. There will be enjoyment, acquisition of
chiefship of a town, or village, birth of a son, financial gains, well-being,
dawn of fortune, attainment of the position of a Commander of an Army and
progress all-round, if there is an exalted Grah in the Trikon from the Antar
Dasha Rashi. There will be in his Dasha financial gains, well-being and birth
of a son, if the Grah, who is the Lord of the Dasha, happens to be in a benefic
Rashi and receives a Drishti from Guru. 29-32. Vrishabh, Tula, Makar, Kumbh and
Mithun are the inimical Rashis of Surya. The inimical Rashis of Candr and other
Grahas may be reckoned similarly. If a Grah is in an inimical Rashi, his Dasha
will be full of adversities. The effects of the Dasha of Rashis and Grahas
should be judged after taking into account the above rules. 33-34. The Dashas
of that Grah will be favourable, who is Raj Yog Karak, who is disposed between
two benefics (that is there are benefics in the 2nd and the 12th Bhavas to that
Grah) and who has benefics in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Bhavas from him. A malefic
Grah becomes favourable, if he is disposed between benefics. 35-36. The whole
of the Dasha of a Grah, who is related to a friendly and benefic Grah at the
commencement and the end of the Dasha, will be favourable. In an unfavourable
Dasha the Antar Dasha of a benefic (Grah, or Rashi) becomes favourable. The
Dasha of a Grah, or Rashi, who has benefics in the 5th, or the 9th from it, is
also favourable. In this manner the effects of the Dasha should be judged, after
taking into account the dispositions of the Grah, or Rashi at the commencement
and at the end of the Dasha. 37-39. The Dasha of the Grahas and Rashis, who
have benefics in the Trikon from them is favourable. If the Dasha of a benefic
Rashi commences in a benefic Rashi, it will be very favourable. If an evil
Dasha commences in a benefic Rashi, it is also favourable. Therefore the
commencement of a Dasha should always be kept in view in assessing the results
of the Dasha. There will be loss of fortune, if at the commencement of the
Dasha there is a malefic Rashi, or, if the Lord of the Dasha Rashi is in
debilitation. 40-41. There will be loss of fortune, wealth and agricultural
products and infliction with disease during the Dasha of the Rashi, occupied by
a debilitated Grah, or, if there is a debilitated Grah in the 5th from it, or
in the 9th from it, or whose Lord is debilitated, or related to a debilitated
Grah. 42. Four Rashis from Kumbh and four Rashis from Vrischik belong to Rahu
and Ketu, respectively. If Rahu and Ketu are in any one of the aforesaid
Rashis, the Dasha will be productive of beneficial results. 43-45. If a Grah,
whose Dasha is otherwise considered favourable, is placed in a Marak Bhava, or,
if the Rashi, in which his Dasha comes to an end, receives a Drishti from Sukr,
or Candr, there will be in his Dasha displeasure of government and loss of
wealth. 46-47. There will be loss of everything, imprisonment, death, exile
from the country and great distress at the end of the Dasha of Rahu. The above
effects will definitely be realized, if there are malefics in the 5th and the
9th from Rahu. Beneficial and adverse effects should be predicted in this
manner. 48-50. The same would be the effects in the Dasha of the Rashi,
occupied by malefics, like Rahu etc. The association of a Marak Grah with the
Rashi at the time of commencement of its Dasha is not productive of good
effects. If such a Grah is Rahu, there will be imprisonment, or loss of wealth.
51-52. The natural characteristics of the Bhava, occupied by Rahu, are harmed
at the commencement of the Dasha. If such a Bhava is Dhan, there will be loss
of wealth. If Candr and Sukr are in Vyaya, there will be losses, due to the
displeasure of government. If Mangal and Ketu are so disposed, there will be death,
or danger from fire. There will be acquisition of a kingdom, if Sukr and Candr
are in Dhan at the commencement of the Dasha. This means, that the effects of
the Bhava, in which Candr and Sukr are placed at the commencement and end of a
Dasha, are strengthened. Thus their disposition in Ari, Randhr and Vyaya will
produce only adverse effects. 53-55. Similarly the sages have described the
effects of the Bhava with Argal. If there is an auspicious Argal causing
benefic, or malefic Grah of a Rashi and Lagn receives a Drishti from him, that
Rashi will prevail. Here Lagn is the secondary condition. If the Grah, causing
uninterrupted Argal, gives a Drishti to a Rashi, that Rashi will prevail. In
other words good effects will be derived in the Dasha of that Rashi. The Dasha
of the Rashi, which does not receive a Drishti from an auspicious Argal, or the
Dasha of a Rashi with Vipreet Argal will not be favourable. The Dasha of that
Rashi, which receives a Drishti from a benefic, will be favourable. 56-59.
Financial gains will be derived in the Dasha of the Rashi, which is occupied by
its benefic Lord, or by an exalted Grah, who receives a Drishti from him. There
will be loss of wealth, if such a Grah is in the 12th Bhava to the Rashi (or
Bhava). There will be destruction of all good effects, distress to children and
father and mental agony in the Dasha of the Rashi, if there are malefics in the
5th and the 9th from the Rashi. Evil effects will be experienced in the Dasha
of the Rashi, which is occupied by Randhr’s Lord, Vyaya’s Lord, Surya, Mangal,
or Sani. 60-63. The Dasha of the Rashi will cause distress to children, exile
to a foreign country and continuous disturbances in life, if Rahu and Ketu are
in the Trikon to the Rashi. There will be danger from enemies, from the king
and disease in the Dasha of the Rashi, which is so posited, that the 6th and
the 8th from it are occupied by malefic, debilitated, or combust Grahas. There
will be destruction of house, land and agricultural fields, if there is a
malefic, or debilitated Grah in the 4th from the Rashi. There will be loss of
house, due to negligence, if such a Grah is Mangal. There will be heart pain
and danger from government, if the Grah is Sani and there will be losses all
round and danger from poison and thieves, if the Grah is Rahu. 64-66½. There
will be pilgrimage to holy places in the Dasha of the Rashi, who has Rahu in
the 10th to it. There will be gain of earnings, religious rites, gain of
wealth, renown for good deeds and success in efforts and ventures in the Dasha
of the Rashi, which is so posited, that the 10th, the 11th and the 9th from it
are occupied by benefics. There will be birth of children, happiness from wife
and recognition by the Government in the Dasha of the Rashi, from which the
5th, the 7th and the 9th are occupied by benefic, or exalted Grahas. During the
Dasha of the Bhavas (Rashis), occupied by Putr’s, Labh’s, Karm’s, Bandhu’s,
Dharm’s and Lagn’s Lord, there will be growth of these Bhavas. The good effects
will be in proportion to the strength of the Bhavas and the Grahas, occupying
them. 67-70. In the Dasha of a Rashi (Bhava) there will be well-being, increase
in opulence and glory and devotion to deities and Brahmins, if it is occupied
by Guru, Sukr, or the Lord of a Trikon. There will be acquisition of more
conveyances and cattle etc. in the Dasha of the Rashi (Bhava), which is so
posited, that the 4th from it is occupied by an exalted Grah, or Lord of a
Trikon. Candr there will give things, like grains, Ghi etc. Full Candr will favour
with a treasure and jewels etc. Sukr there, will provide enjoyment from music
etc. 71-72. There will be enjoyment of the palanquin-like conveyance in the
Dasha of the Rashi (Bhava), from which the 4th is occupied by Guru. There will
be success in all ventures, great opulence and glory, acquisition of a kingdom
during the Dasha of a Rashi (Bhava), which has the Yog of the Lord of Lagn,
Dharm’s Lord, Karm’s Lord, an exalted Grah, or benefics. The effects of the
Dashas of various Bhavas should be judged in this manner. 73-77. The effects of
the Dashas of each Rashi, or Grah (Nakshatr Dasha) depend on their 18 different
kinds of conditions. They are deep exaltation, exaltation, dispositions on
their either side, Multrikon, own, Adhimitr, Tatkalik Mitra’s, neutral,
enemy’s, Adhisatru’s Rashi, deep debilitation, debilitated, or enemy’s Varg,
own Varg, disposition in a Kendr, disposition in a Trikon, defeated in war
between Grahas, deep combustion. 78-83½. Acquisition of kingdom, enjoyment and
acquisition of more property are the effects of the whole Dasha of the Grah,
who is in deep exaltation and is fully equipped with all the six kinds of
strength, great opulence and glory with some possibility of affliction with
disease are the effects of the Grah, placed in his Rashi of exaltation. The
Dasha of a Grah in deep debilitation is called Rikt. Diseases, loss of wealth
and danger of death are the effects of the Dasha of such a Grah. The Dasha of
the Grah, who is in a condition in between deep exaltation and deep debilitation
is known, as Avrohini (descending). The Dasha of the Grah in exaltation, or in
a friend’s Rashi is called Madhya (of middle order). This Dasha also yields
moderately good effects. The Dasha of a Grah, placed in a condition in between
deep debilitation and deep exaltation, is called Rohini (ascending). The Dasha
of a Grah, placed in between the debilitated and enemy Navans is called Adham
(evil). Dangers of various kinds, distress and sorrows are the results of the
Dasha of such a Grah. These Dashas give results, according to their
nomenclature. 84-87. The Dashas of other Grahas become auspicious and augment
the fortune, if the Lord of Dharm and Guru are in any way related with Yog,
Kendr, or the Bhava concerned etc. The Grah with Yog of good fortune at birth
produces good effects, when he is free from retrogression and becomes direct.
The weakness, inabilities and Yogas of other Grahas should also be taken into
account in judging their effects. All those Dashas give full, medium and little
effects in accordance with the disposition of the Grahas in the Kendr,
Panaphara and Apoklima. 88-89½. The Grahas in Shirshodaya, Ubhayodaya and
Prishthodaya Rashis, yield their results, respectively, at the commencement, in
the middle and at the end of the Dasha. All the Grahas yield auspicious results
in the Antar Dasha of Naisargik (natural, constant) and Tatkalik (according to
position) friends. The results will be adverse in the Antar Dasha of inimical
Grahas. Antar Dashas of Rashis 90-96. There are Antar Dashas of the 12 Rashis,
commencing from the Rashi, in which the Lord of the Dasha is placed. There will
be auspicious results, like acquisition of kingdom in the Antar Dasha of a
Rashi, which is occupied by its own Lord, or a friendly Grah. There will be
inauspicious results, like loss of wealth, disputes, danger from diseases etc.
in the Antar Dasha of the Rashi, which may be Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya, or is
occupied by a malefic, debilitated Grah, or a Grah, placed in an inimical
Rashi. The Rashi, which contained more auspicious marks in the Ashtak Varg will
yield benefic effects in its Antar Dasha. Adverse will be the effects of the
Antar Dasha of the Rashi, which contains more inauspicious marks. For assessing
the results the Rashi, from which the Dasha commences, should be treated, as
Lagn and the Bhavas thereafter should be assumed to have the characteristics,
as if they are so from Lagn. Thus the 2nd Bhava from that Rashi will be the
Bhava of the wealth, the 3rd of co-borns and so on. There will be gains, or losses
of Dhatus etc., assigned to the Rashis and the Grahas, in the Antar Dasha of
the Rashis concerned. In judging the effects of the Antar Dashas of the Grahas
their benefic and malefic nature, relations with the malefic, or benefic,
Drishtis on them and their disposition in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya etc. should all
be kept in view. 97. The results of the Antar Dasha’s Pratyantar Dashas of the
Rashis should be assessed in the manner, explained in this chapter.
Ch. 51. Working out of Antar Dashas of Grahas and Rashis in
Vimshottari etc. Dasha systems
1. For finding out the span of the Antar Dasha of a Grah in
the Dasha of the same, or another Grah multiply the Dasha years of the former with
the Dasha years of the latter and divide the product by the total Dasha years
of all the Grahas. For finding out the span of the Pratyantar Dasha of the
same, or any other Grah in the Antar Dasha of another Grah multiply the years
etc. of the Antar Dasha with the Dasha years of the other Grah and divide the
product by the total Dasha years of all the Grahas. The figure so available in
months etc. will represent the Pratyantar Dasha of the former. 2. In every
Dasha the first Antar Dasha belongs to the Lord of the Dasha. Then the further
Antar Dashas belong to the other 8 Grahas in the same order, as followed for
the Dashas. The same applies to Pratyantar Dasha. The Antar Dashas of Char
Grahas in Char etc. Dasha 3-4. The Antar Dashas of the Charadi Kendradi Dasha
of the Grahas are worked out by dividing the Dasha years by 9. The first Dasha
will invariably be of the Lord of the Dasha. Thereafter there will be Antar
Dashas of Grahas, placed in Kendras, Panapharas and Apoklimas, respectively,
according to their strength. Antar Dashas of Rashis 5. The Antar Dashas of
Rashis is worked out by dividing the Dasha years by 12. Pratyantar Dashas of
the Antar Dashas are also calculated in the same manner. 6. The Antar Dashas
will start from the Dasha Rashi, or from the Rashi 7th therefrom, whichever is
stronger. The Antar Dashas are in the onwards order, if the Dasha Rashi is odd
and in the reverse order, if it is even. 7-12. O Brahmin! Now I will acquaint
you with the special characteristics of the order of the Antar Dashas of the
Rashis. If the Dasha Rashi is a Movable one, the Antar Dashas of the 12 Rashis
are in the onwards, or reverse order. If the Dasha Asraya Rashi is a Fixed one,
the Antar Dashas will start from it and thereafter there will be an Antar Dasha
of every sixth Rashi. If the Dasha Ashraya Rashi is a Dual one, the first Antar
Dasha will belong to it. Thereafter there will be Antar Dashas of Rashis in
Kendr to it, Rashis in Kendr to the 5th from it and Rashis in Kendr to the 9th
from it. In the case of all kinds of Rashis, namely Movable, Fixed, or Dual,
the order will be onwards, if the Dasha Asraya Rashi is an odd one and in the
reverse order, if it is an even one. The so called Dasha Asraya Rashi is known,
as Pak Rashi. In the first order Rashi, which is Pak Rashi, is also called Bhog
Rashi. Later, if the Dasha Prad Rashi is even, then the Bhog Rashi will be
that, which is at the same Rashi distance, as the Dasha Asraya Rashi is from
the Dasha Prad Rashi. For the Char, Sthir and Trikon Dasha, the Pak and Bhog
should be determined in this manner. If Pak and Bhog Rashis are associated with
malefics, there will be pain in the body and mental agony. There will be
enjoyment, if they are associated with benefics. In the Kaal Chakr Dasha, like
the Vimshottari Dasha system, the span of Dasha should be multiplied by the
span of the Dasha of the Rashi, whose Antar Dasha is required and the product
should be divided by the total Dasha years of (all) the Rashi(s). The years,
months etc. as arrived at will represent the Antar Dasha of the Rashi
concerned. 13-16. Now I will tell you the method of working out the Antar
Dashas in the Pinda, Ans and Nisarg Dashas. The Lord of Dasha is Dasha Pachak
of full part, the Grah, associated with, is Pachak of ½ part, the Grah in Trikon
from him is Pachak of l/3 part and the Grah in the 4th and 8th from him are
Pachak of ¼ part, the Grah in the 7th from him is Pachak of l/7 part of the
Dasha. No Grah in any other Bhava is Antar Dash Pachak. In this manner there
are Antar Dasha Pachakas in the above-mentioned Bhavas from the various Bhavas,
including Lagn. In any of such Bhavas, if there are more than one Grah, then
the one, who is the strongest amongst them will be the Pachak. Take the
fractions and reduce them in equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
Add up the aliquot parts of the Dasha, representative of the various
numerators, leaving out the denominators. The Antar Dashas will be arrived at,
when the various aliquots are converted into years, months etc. within the main
Dasha and divided by the above sum. (The calculations, given above, are not the
literal translation of the text in the verses concerned, but their actual
meaning and sense. This has been got confirmed by checking up with similar
information, given in Kalyana Varma’s Saravali and Varamihir’s Brihat Jatak)
