planetary war, Nipdita, in malefic Vargas Khalavastha and, if in fall,

in Bhitavastha.
Notes. There are 27 Graha Samayas, i.e. planetary conditions. These
will help us know, as to what a planet is doing at a particular moment
with reference to either birth, or query. Such positions reveal specific
results. How to calculate these positions and the effects thereof are
noted below. Find out the number of Signs from Aries to Ascendant.
Again find out in what number of Sign is the planet, for which
(Samaya) is required, counted from Aries. Multiply these figures
mutually and again the latest product be multiplied by the total
number of Dasa period years of the planet, as per Vimsottari Dasha
scheme. Divide this by 27 and the remainder indicates Graha
Samaya (some scholars, however, advise, that the planet's position is
to be counted from Lagna instead of Aries. It is wrong counting the
planet's position from Lagna, as the Sloka clearly says, vide
Jyotisharnava Navantam). Let us assume, that in Virgo Lagna chart
the Moon is in Sagittarius. Hence we count six Signs from Aries
through Virgo Ascendant and get 6. Again from Aries to Sagittarius
we get 9. Multiply 9 by 6 to get 54. The Dasha period of the Moon is
10. When we multiply 54 by 10, we get 540. This, when divided by
27, yields no balance and hence the 27
th
Samaya is denoted.
Now the scheme of Samayas and their effects (1-27). Snana: good
family, children, respect, success and position. Vastradharana:
precious stones, money, position and clothes. Pundradharana: dear
