Jyotish and Vyaakarana Vedanga

|| Om Vaacaspataye Namah ||

Dear Friends,
Six Vedanga's (Grammar, Etymology, Pronunciation, Tunes, Kalpa , Jyotisha ) are
needed to understand Vedas is well known to all students of Veda and related
subjects.
Students should also understand that these Vedanga should also be mutually used
to understand better. Like for example it's evident that you need to understand
Shiksha (Pronunciation) correctly to understand say Tunes ( Chandas), Etymology
of words correctly to get the meanings of words and Grammar to associated the
words to make complete meaning and so on. But the use of Jyotish with others is
not so evident. Like for example Students of Sanskrit usually focus on
Pronunciation(Shiksha), Etymology (Nirukta) and Grammar (Vyaakaran)

but they don't have basics of Jyotish and Kalpa etc to tie things
together.
To make my point clear and attempt an example, Let's take the
example of Vibakti of Grammar. In Grammar (Vyaakaran) Vibhakti
is an important word declinations to indicate the subject, object and
verbs relations between them. Vibhakti means Prepositions. A
Vibhakti is a declination(sounds added at the end of each noun) to
indicate the relationship of Verb (Karma/Kriya) to the Person (both
persons receiver and doer of karma).
There are 7 prime Vibhakti's or called cases, namely
1st case
2nd case
3rd
4th
5th
6th
7th

case

case

Nominative
Accusative

1, 2, 3
Object, to (when the verb is go), towards,
about
Instrumental By, with, through
Dative case For, to (when the verb is give)
Ablative
From, than
Possessive Of, 's, among
Locative
In, on, at, among

In Jyotish 7 indicates relationships, A Karma is always performed

between two people. The bhaava(house) is numbered Seven because

Seven types of relations is possible. The seven types of resources are

the Seven Rasa's. In Grammar this gives rise to Seven types of
Vibhakti. Let's take an example "A Boy" is involved in an activity
(Karma) Verb. This leads to Seven types of tasks "Boy" can be
involved in,
Let me take example with Single Boy, The students can refer to
grammar books for 2 and mulptiboy declinations,
Vibhakti

Pratama Vibhakti
1st
Dwitiya Vibhakti

To a boy.
baalaat blt

Than a boy
baalasya blasya

Boy's
baalao blau

Note: The Sambodana or Exclamation is type of First.

Thus a relation to 7th house for partners and Seven types of relations
formed with them for a certain karma can be understood.
For Example when we do mantra to worship each diety mostly we
use the Fourth Vibhakti,
For example
The object : Shiva
Doer : Yourself
Action: Salutation
Namah Shivaaya
(I Salute) (To Shiva)
the Word Shiva is declined in 4th Vibhakti to form Shivaaya.
Thus 4th emotion of compassion can be invoked.
Warm Regards
