Shri Bhrigu Samhita Children Remedies Volume
Introduction:

age Bhrigu is considered as the father of Hindu Astrology. Different stories abound as regards Maharshi Bhrigu. Brahma was entrusted with the task of creation of the world and to assist him, he wished to have a person and thus was born Bhrigu and so called as Manasa-Putra (born out of the mind) of Brahma. It is stated that Bhrigu was one of the seven great sages popularly referred to as Saptarshis. The names of Saptarshis given in ancient Hindu texts vastly differ. But the name of Bhrigu finds a place in Krishna Yajur Veda Sandhya Vandana Mantra as also in Mantra Shastra. We also find a reference to Sage Bhrigu in the Vayu Purana where he is shown present during the great Yagna of Daksha Prajapati. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna refers to Sage Bhrigu by saying among the rishis, I am Bhrigu. It is mentioned in Rig Veda that Bhrigu was the first person to acquire Agni while assisting Brahma in the creation of the world. The meaning of the word Bhrigu itself is radiant.

It is believed that Bhrigu was the first compiler of predictive astrology and also the author of Bhrigu Samhita, the astrological classic written during the Vedic Period, Treta Yuga most probably around 3000 BC. He had two wives Khyati and Pulauma. His son Shukra (Venus) was the Guru of demons. Shukra was very dear to the sage and we find that the compilations appear as conversation between Sage Bhrigu and Shukra. It is interesting to read stories involving the sage. Readers can find many stories through Internet sites. But we must know how the monumental work of Bhrigu Samhita came into existence. On the bank of the now nonexistent river Saraswati, many great rishis gathered to conduct a Maha Yagna. Immediately after four years of creation of the world and its human beings, the supreme powers realized that the human species were faced with many problems and were in deep pain and suffering. To alleviate the sufferings it was decided to conduct the Yagna. At that time Narad Muni who was present there raised a question as who would be the Master or Head for the conduct of the Yagna. All the rishis were of the opinion that the Trimurthis viz. Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are the only right persons for the task. But Narad said not all three can be the head; only one out of the three can take the lead. So the task was entrusted to Bhrigu to select the one out of three to be the head for the yagna. In the manuscript that is available with us there are two pictures which are reproduced below in this document. The first one shows the congregation of rishis along with Bhrigu ready to depart for testing the 3 Lords and selecting the right person among the three. The second picture is that of Bhrigu hitting Lord Vishnu on his chest. Now let us go on with the story. Bhrighu first went to Brahmalok disguising himself as a Brahman. At that time Brahma was busy writing Vedas and did not pay any attention to the visitor who stood in front of him. Bhrigu got infuriated and thought that when he cannot see a person just standing in front of him, how he is going to realize the problems of the mankind. So he cursed Brahma saying that he is unfit to be the creator of the world and that he will not be worshipped in this world. Immediately Brahma realized his folly and asked forgiveness from the rishi saying that he is the creator and if he be not allowed to do the creation work, the world will come to a zero. Bhrigu realized that he has infact been a little harsh on Brahma and modified his curse saying that he will be worshipped only in one place on the earth and it will be at Pushkar. Next Bhrigu went to Kailash to see Lord Shiva and find out if he is capable of undertaking the task of performing the Yagna for the well being of the humanity. When he reached Shiv Loka, he was stopped by Nandi Deva guarding the gates of Kailash saying that Lord and Goddess are sporting fun at that time and no one can see him now. In spite of

Bhrigu telling Nandi deva that his work is urgent, he was adamant and did not permit Bhrigu to enter inside and also did not accept Bhrigus request to carry the message to Lord Shiva. At this Bhrigu got annoyed and cursed Shiva that no one will ever worship you in this world. After this Lord Shiva realized what happened but it was late as the curse had already been given. Lord Shiva requested Bhrigu to forgive him and said that it was all due to ignorance. Then Bhrigu realizing that his curse has indeed been a harsh one, modified it saying that as it cannot be taken back, you will be worshipped in the form of Linga and not in his original form. Now two of the Tridevs were unfit to lead the Yagna and so with the hope that Lord Vishnu will live up to his expectations, he set upon his journey to Vaikunt, the abode of Lord Vishnu. To test Him he entered Vaikunt without the Lords permission and saw that Lord was resting at that time with Lakshmi seated beside him. There was no reaction from the Lord which infuriated the rishi and he kicked Lord Vishnu on the chest (Look at the second picture). That strike by the Maharshi on Lords chest left a foot print there and is known till date as Shri Vats. Lord Vishnu got up after the hit and realized what happened. On realizing that the Maharshi had hit him with his foot, he asked him, Maharshi, are you hurt in your feet? My chest is strong but your foot is not so strong. Hearing these words the Rishi was moved and at once he was pleased and decided that Lord Vishnu is the right person to be that Master for the Yagna. But the reaction of Goddess Lakshmi was quite different. She could not bear the disrespect shown to her husband that too in front of her. So she cursed the maharshi that henceforth she will never visit Brahmins and they will all live without wealth. On hearing this curse, Maharshi told his reason of his visit to Vaikunt and Lakshmi realized that since the Rishi had come with a good intention, she said that the curse given will become null and void and the Brahmins will be liberated if they worship Lord Vishnu. It is after this incident that Maharshi Bhrigu set upon writing the famous book of astrology Bhrigu Samhita with the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Mata Saraswati. Maharshi collected nearly 5 million horoscopes and wrote predictions for their full life. During foreign invasions of India by Muslim warriors from the north west in the 12th and 13th centuries, the invaders captured these prime assets of the Brahmins (as they were in their custody). The destruction of Nalanda University library destroyed thousands of horoscopes compiled by the Maharshi. Only a small percentage of the monumental work remained and is now scattered with the Brahmin community in various parts of India. It is believed that 45 million charts can be drawn if we have all the compilations of the Maharshi. Now coming to this part of the translation, we have in our possession the following manuscripts of Bhrigu Samhita:

Which we present by way of translation to the Astrological community and we hope it will be received well by the readers. We also wish to place our sincere thanks to the provider of the manuscript Mr. Sreeram Srinivas who passed a scanned version to the publisher of Saptarishis Astrology way back in 2006 promising that he would initiate the translation project via his contacts but due to professional commitments he was unable to do. This manuscript seems to be a scanned version of a printed copy done in Meerut city and translated in hindi from Sanskrit. The name of the Meerut Pandit is not clear in the available text. We salute him for bringing this out. SA Team has relied mainly on the Sanskrit portion and at times the original translation into hindi was found to be not so accurate in our humble opinion but translations are one area where scholars easily differ is to be borne in mind. We collected around 7 translators from the SA Team way back in early 2011 & started group translation. We wish to thank the translators as well as our Sanskrit Editor Mr. Chandrashekhar Sharma, Project Head Mr. Yenbeeyes who were kind enough to devote their valuable time and energy in bringing out this document in the present form. Finally we wish to thank the patience of each team member involved who were humble enough to go through various drafts, accept that the process of translation into a foreign language is not an easy task. Readers are provided with Sanskrit shlokas so that they can double check the translations before prescribing remedies. Saptarishis Astrology-Editorial team

t is appropriate for the person who desires to show the birth chart to come with a pure heart and mind ( ) and offers flowers, sweets and fees/reward to the astrologer

(who is being shown the birth chart). The (three step) method to examine the birth chart, which is brought by a person to know about his child, using this text, is thus: 1. From the birth time, find the Ghatis leaving out the palas. 2. The house for children is the 5th, so add 5 to the Ghatis obtained in Step 1 and save the result. 3. Now use the Chakra drawn on next page. (NOTE: The Chakra is like a table and has several numbers in it, each number in a separate rectangle). Ask the person who has come to show the birth chart and is desirous to learn about his child, to place his finger on the Chakra. Add the number that he places his finger on, to the result obtained in
A Ghati is a measure of time equal to 24 minutes. Another measure of time, Pala is equal to 24 seconds. The birth time, also referred to as Ishta Ghati ( ) is specified in Ghatis and Palas that have elapsed since sunrise. For example, say the sunrise on a particular day is at 6:30:00 AM. The Ishta Ghati of a person born at 7:44:00 AM on this day is 3 Ghatis and 2 Palas (74 minutes from sunrise).

Example of the Method described above

Above is the picture of the Chakra, an example birth chart and explanatory text to illustrate with an example, how to apply the method described above. Please see the birth chart that a person has brought to know about his child. The birth time is 38 ghatis and 10 pala. 1. Select 38 (leaving the palas) 2. Add 5 (for the fifth house) to 38: the result is 43. 3. Now if this person puts his finger on 25 in the Chakra, add 25 to 43 to get the final number or sum of 68. Please read both sides of Page/Card bearing the number 68. This is the story of the person who has the question.


Note: - this particular word is not clear in the original document. Editor feels it can be . Translators Note: This page and the following pages seem to be the Page/Card (s) referred above under the heading Method to see results. It appears that the minimum sum can be 7, since there is no 2 Page/Card for the numbers 5 and 6. However, the sum can also be 5 or 6 . Since there is no Page/Card corresponding to the sum of 5 or 6, it can be interpreted that such natives do not have children related suffering OR that there is no remedy for such natives.

Translation of Page No. 7: Shri Bhruguji says, O Shukra, the planets in this natives birth chart are excellent. He is truthful, has deep spiritual knowledge (), (Editor: It could also mean very wealthy) helps other people sincerely, is liked by everyone and has faith in God and Brahmins . He will gain respect and fame, has a developed intellect through education, will make his clan grow in stature, is handsome and is devoted disciple of his guru. He will think about new things and will be deeply attached to one of his friends and his mind/desire/concentration becomes weak. He will have medium gains, but whenever there are big occasions that involve large expenses, they will all be happily accomplished. Once there will be major accident, disturbance or trouble, from which he shall recover, as if getting another birth (Addition by Editor: revival of his fortune or health. Perhaps it is said that there will be a major accident from which he shall recover as if getting another birth, then one will live the complete life. There will be worries on account of family members; there will be opposition and a risk to life. Recitation of Mantras and medicine will provide relief. There will be marks on account of ulcer or due to wounds. This person will accumulate wealth in his youth; he will gain prestige and will be very fortunate. His wife will be distressed and will have secret worries (Addition by Editor: Abortion is also talked about ), will be worried

The Ghatis can be zero for those born soon after sunrise and such a native can select the number 0 (zero) in the Chakra. In such a case the final number will be 5. Similarly, it can be found out that the final number can be 6 in two cases: a person whose birth time ghati is 1 and he selects 0 in the Chakra OR if the birth time ghati is 0 and he selects 1 in the Chakra. 3 The class of men who are the repositories and communicators of sacred knowledge

Translation of Page No. 8 Shri Shukraji says, O Father ! Please narrate this natives account of previous birth. Shri Bhriguji says, O Shukra, this person had taken birth in the Jat community in one of his earlier births. He was fortunate and wealthy and had elephants, horses, villages and

KhaTa means axe and rasa also means gold or number six. There are danas of axe prescribed in

some texts. So this could be the meaning. That is six axes to be donated

everything else. He was a high ranking chief. He went to hunt in the forest and killed the peachicks of a peacock. Seeing its dead children, the peacock cursed the Chief to suffer children related sorrow for seven lives, similar to the suffering that he has given the peacock. Shri Shukraji said, O Father, please tell me, by chanting of which mantras and by making what type of donation can such a sin of the past lives be removed, so that this person can obtain happiness on account of sons. Shri Bhruguji said, O Son, the native has to first make a golden plate from two gold coins5, make a picture of a peacock using red sandalwood paste, chant Gayatri mantra, and donate the plate and 6 axes to a learned Brahmin. On doing so, one will definitely enjoy happiness on account of sons.

Translation of Page No. 9 Shri Bhriguji says, O Shukra, listen to story of this native. His birth chart is very good and the benefic planets will give good results in their own dasha. (Editors comments: I think this means he gets good results in planets that are functionally benefic.) It is advisable to propitiate cruel and malefic planets due to which there will be good fortune and desires will be fulfilled, (but on account of several cruel and
5 This has to be suitably modified for the modern ages

malefic planets), there will only be partial fulfillment. (Editors comments: I think what is said is that even if the malefics are not propitiated; he shall get half the results in a good dasha.) The native will be intelligent, will weigh carefully others speech, will be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood, is to be patient and even if not educated will gain more prestige than those who are educated. He will be married between the ages of 12 and 16. Wealth obtained from father. Translators Note: The meaning of word is taken as father. There are other meanings such as son, thus etc, which did not seem relevant here) will be spent for auspicious works. He will have good fortune between the years 17 and 30 and will gain prestige. If there is any pain or exhaustion in the body, it can be treated by medicine. There will be opposition from enemies. He will suffer for a short time two times and will live for 72 years. There will be worries on account of loss of house Translators Note: The text talks of , which I have interpreted to mean lack of shelter, since means umbrella, shelter etc. The native may come across secret wealth sometime. His wife will conceive, but the child will be short-lived and will cause suffering for mother and father.

O Shukra, this native will enjoy all kinds of comforts on earth, but he will not have any happiness on account of his children. Editors Comments: I find reference to 8th and 16th year together with reference to studies at the beginning of education and end of education at the end of the period. Then I find talks of marriage about the 17th year of age. Then we get the reference to 30 years coupled with increase in fortune. So getting married between 12 to 16th is not apparent in the original Sanskrit text, to me. Kindly check the Sanskrit translation. There is no doubt that the Sanskrit used is not always correct, but then what we have is the print copy of a text.

Translation of Page No. 10 Shri Shukraji says, On account of what sin this native does not have children. Please tell me about his past life. Shri Bhriguji says, This native was born in a line of thakur ( ) and he had lots of elephants, horses and villages and was very wealthy. His elder brother died leaving his wife and one son behind. While his sister in law devoted her time to in offering prayers to God in temples, he became greedy and killed his brothers son on account of a dispute on the division of property. His sister in law cursed him in the temple for many births. Shri Shukraji said, O Father, please tell me, by chanting of which mantras and by making what type of donation can this curse of the past lives be destroyed, so that this person can obtain happiness on account of sons. Shri Bhriguji said, O Sun, such a native should have a gold vessel made using seven silver coins ( ), on this make a picture of a male using sandalwood paste, and after taking a bath in water from the Ganges river, chant Gayatri Mantra 50,000 times, as also Santan Gopal Mantra several times with devotion, and this will result in cancellation of the curse. .


Translation of Page No. 11 Shri Bhriguji says, O Son, this native is very hard working and strong, fortunate, will be engaged in good activities and obtain a high status by his hard work. However, on account of cruel and malefic planets due to past sins (Editors comments: due to this, he will be disturbed as the cruel planets render other planets weak.) he will have secret worries, he will be confused and may remain fickle. By propitiating the benefic planets and by large donations or donation of lands (which are also called Mahadana), his hearts desires will be fulfilled, his worries will be eliminated, he will progress in his education, will maintain affection with friends, use his fathers wealth for good activities, his wife will be from a good family, but he will not have happiness on account of children. O Shukra, this native will manage big engagements, will solve a lot of problems for people, will be kind, loving and merciful, will not wish ill of anyone and instead will wish well for everyone. On account of sins of the previous birth, he cannot even dream of children related happiness and there is no remedy for him.


Translation of Page No. 12 Shri Shukraji says, O Father, please describe what has this native done [in his previous birth] that he sees all happiness except children related happiness. Shri Bhriguji says, O Shukra, in one of his earlier births, this native was a trader/merchant. He was very wealthy and used to sell food grains. Once there was a big famine and several poor people used to wander in search of food grains. During this time a Brahmin child came to his shop and requested food grains from him. The trader/merchant became angry and pushed them and in doing so, the Brahmin child lost his life. Seeing his son dead, the father gave a severe curse to the trader/merchant. Shri Shukraji said, O Father, please tell me, what efforts should this native do so that curse of the past lives be destroyed, what type of donation should be made, what types of prayers should be offered which mantras should be chanted, so that this native can obtain happiness on account of sons. Shri Bhriguji said, O Shukra, make a golden plate from 8 coins, make a picture of the Brahmin son using red sandalwood paste, place that in a copper vessel containing ghee, take a vow and donate it to a well educated excellent Brahmin, have Gayatri mantras chanted, then children will be obtained.

Translation of Page No. 13 Shri Bhriguji says, O Son! Listen carefully, as I narrate to you the fruits borne by the specific placement of planets in this natives birth-chart. This native is highly educated, is clever, chants mantras, has incisive intellect, wins over his enemies, is fortunate, will be happy, is modest, is nave and doesnt cheat or deceive people, will obtain favors from king, is handsome and virtuous, will wear good clothes and ornaments, may get intoxicated by bodily pleasures, will speak sweet language, will be from a good family, will have secret affection for one friend, is brave and courageous, will be involved in good activities, will grow his wealth, will setup large industries, he will have diseases but will live a full life. He will see suffering on account of one person, his wife will have worries on account of children. It will be difficult to have children and if there are any children, they will cause suffering to the parents. This native will have all happiness but there will be no happiness on account of children.

Translation of Page No. 14 Shri Shukraji prayerfully requested his father, In the past life, what sins has this native committed, which have destroyed any possibility for children related happiness. Bhriguji said, O Shukra, in one of his previous birth, this native was a Kshatriya and he was an intelligent and wealthy king or minister. He once went on a hunt to the forest and from a distance, he saw a deer. He shot an arrow at the deer: the deer escaped, and his arrow hit and killed the disciple of a Sadhu (renunciate), who was passing by with the disciple. On seeing his disciple dead, the Sadhu was full of grief and he cursed the Kshatriya that he would suffer children related sorrow for the next 3 births. Shri Shukraji said, O Father, please tell me, by offering what type of donation and by chanting of which mantras can the curse of past life given by the Sadhu be destroyed and this person can obtain happiness on account of sons. Shri Bhriguji said, This native can obtain child related happiness by making a gold plate from two gold coins, on which should be drawn a child using red sandalwood paste. He should then first take bath with water from the Ganges, take a vow and by performing appropriate ritual, donate the plate along with clothes and ornaments. On doing so, he will definitely obtain children.

Translation of Page No. 15 Shri Bhriguji says, This native is fortunate, handsome, follows his fathers advice, virtuous, modest, will have earthly comforts, will be an expert in sexual arts, thinks carefully about everything, have affection for friends, has brothers and sisters with whom later there will be enmity, will gain from land, there will be secret worries, will take particularly devoted to a person, will experience sadness and once his life will be saved and he will get a new life. He will fall in love with another lady. (Editors comments: Also his having 2 wives is told). He will not have a lot of education, but whatever he has will be sufficient for his needs. He will be satisfied with what he has, he may take on debt, he may have worries on account of lack of shelter (), (Editors comments: There is no reference to losing elders) will have arguments with his enemies, he will have diseases, he will do upayas for sufferings on account of ancestors, and his wife will make a lot of efforts to obtain children, (Editors comments: His wife shall be specially troubled) but due to sins of previous birth, he will have difficulty in obtaining children. Editors Notes: I think, not having progeny is being talked about by saying he shall not have happiness of progeny. It is also said that his wife shall be especially unhappy due to not having progeny.

Translation of Page No. 16 Shri Shukraji said, O Father, what sins has this native committed in his previous birth, that he and his wife do not have children related happiness. Then Shri Bhriguji said, Listen, O Son. I will narrate a story about one of his previou s births. He was a trader/merchant and in his house stayed a snake and the snakes two children. This trader was very rich. One day, to protect his house, he killed the snakes two children using sticks. Seeing his two dead children, the snake cursed the trader that he would suffer on account of children for 7 births. Then Shri Shukraji said, O Father, by offering what type of donation, by performing which rituals and by chanting of which mantras will the curse of this natives past life be destroyed and this person can obtain happiness on account of sons. Then Shri Bhriguji said, The native should make a golden plate using 3 coins, using red sandalwood draw pictures of two snakes on this plate, and donate this plate along with clothes, ornaments and grains with six types of tastes. In doing so, his curse will be destroyed and he will have children who will live. Editors Comments: It also talks about having to inscribe the KambIja in the center of the plate on which the golden replicas are made and having to recite Gayatri mantras with sankalpa.

Translation of Page No. 17 Shri Bhriguji tells to Shri Shukraji, O Son, I will narrate this natives live story, so listen carefully. This native will be fortunate, generous, will be happy and ever enthusiastic, will have good son, who will get destroyed, will gain prestige, will be virtuous, will not be very educated; however, he will be very intelligent. He may develop some secret worries at any time. His wife will be fortunate, clever and from a good family. The native will be loving and caring and will have a pure heart. At some time, he will face obstacles which will result in a loss. He may have a diabetes type of disease due to which there will be loss of virility, but this can be cured by medicine. There will be suffering on account of ancestors, his mother will propitiate gods to obtain children, (Editors comments: I think garbhaalpaMca khaMdata

means abortions or premature delivery resulting in loss of the child.) but he

will not have children and if he has, he will have suffering on account of them. Even when child is conceived, it will be aborted (Editors Comments: Vandhya is a woman who is incapable of having progeny.) and this may happen many times. All his life, he will have gains but he cannot see child related happiness even in his dreams. In his previous birth, this native has committed many grievous sins. Chandrashekhars comment: I think

has not been translated here. This translates as he will

have great wealth, his profits shall grow daily and he would be enthusiastic. Due to the effect of planets he shall have diseases of blood and loose motions (or even disease where he loses blood that is bleeding piles). At some point in time his fortune will increase, he will get higher degree of education, shall be famous for his cattle and there would be some marks due to abscess or wounds on his body. He would happy after 30 years of age however on account of curse (of previous life) due to great sins, he shall not have progeny. Though having great wealth he will not have progeny even in his dreams.

Translation of Page No. 18 Shri Shukraji says, O Father, I would like to know as to which of the past life acts (of the jataka) are told by the sages of the past, which has led him to suffer for progeny. Shri Bhriguji says, O Shukra, listen carefully the events of the precious birth that I am telling you. In a previous birth, this native was born in the Shudra caste. He was a fisherman and he used to catch fishes and other creatures living in water, bring them to the town and sell them. He caused the death of creatures living in water and earned a lot of money from it. On account of these sins, he is deprived of children related happiness. Shri Shukraji said, O Father, please tell me, by offering what type of donation, by what type of good deeds and by chanting of which mantras such grievous sins will be resolved and this natives lineage will progress. Shri Bhriguji said, O Son, he should obtain a large amount of food grains and get them grounded into flour. He should then make one lac pills with this flour with the name of Lord Ram on them. Then at Haridwar or any other place where Ganges flows or at a pond at a religious pilgrimage, where there are a lot of fishes, he should release each pill in the pond or river while chanting the name of Lord Ram, feeding the fish. He should feed Brahmins and offer them gifts in gold and offer them sweetmeats. Then he will have children who will live and extend the lineage of this native.

Translation of Page No. 19 Shri Bhriguji said, O Shukra, listen about a male born in the yogas in this birth-chart. The native will be born in a good family and he shall make his familys reputation grow, his mother will have some suffering and she will get weaker by the month, there will be fever, dental problems and problems related to lungs (Editors comments: means purging or loose bowels etc.) (Editors comments: At the age of 2 and 5) and these will be relieved through efforts. There is a possibility of having brothers and sisters from age 7 or 8 until 12 or 16. He will use his fathers wealth for auspicious works, there is a possibility of good education, he will get married and his wife shall love him, and he will have deep affection for a close friend. Any possibility of a child is destroyed. This native and his wife will always think about having children and will make a lot of efforts. He will have gains and income, between 21-30 years; he will initiate new business, will obtain a high post, obtain praise and glory and gain prestige. He will have a painful disease, which will be cured by medicine. He will gain from earth, secret wealth; will live long life of more than 70 years. O Shukra, he will see all happiness except children related happiness on account of sins of previous birth. (Editors comment: I think it is said that the prediction of Bhrigu shall not go in vain)
