Thus, I have felt a neid to make the original version
avallablein Englishto the fullest possibleextent. Our version
has 97 cbapterscontaining English translationand exhaustive
alnotations and exanrples.
To handlethe publicationeasily,we havedividedthe work
in two volumes.The presentvolume-first volume-contains 45
cbapterswhile the remaining52 chaptershave beenput in the
secondvolume.
Chapter I and chapter 2 give some preliminary extra.

information begins. , In tbis chapter, phnetary descriptions,

given. Methodsof calcuratingthe'5 upagrahas rike Dhooma
and Muburta velas like Gulika are given. Theseare totally ten
and have thcir own say on a nativity, as the other nine Lain
Grabas have. so to say, these upagrahasand Muhurta vela5
can alter in suitebh proportions the effectsduc to Nava crauai

l2
In tho matter of calculation of Gullka, a different concept comes
to light from this oldestwork. The latcr authorshavegivenan
altogether variable in knowing Gulika's position whereas
Perasara advised that it should be cast for the beginnin! of
Saturn's Muhurta. Whoreas somesuggestthat it should be for
the endingMuhurta of Saturn.
In chapter4, each Rasi is describedfrom variousangles.
Slokas 25-30 are the climax of this chapter. An unerring
method to find out the Nisheka Lagna (or the moment of
intercoursecausingconception)from the time ofl birth is outlined.
Though the prooess of calculation is as simple as a school
student's mathematical quiz, it hasgreat truth in it which even
modern science could not discover. To provo the truth of the
statementin the sago'sinstruction, a practicai examplehas been
given by me. An assumed exanrple cannot better solve the
probfem. A practical case where the time of coitus is astrologicall;r chosenis taken in hand; time of birth has also beengot
accuratelynotod. From the tinro of birth, the time of Nisheka
(or of coitus)is traced which is not in variation, evento the
slightest extont,with the originallynoted Nishekatime. Again
from the time of Nisheka,the birth time is tracedin a forward
manner using only traditional rules of astrology. This exercise
provesthreeimportant points, viz.
l. The point of M.C. is to bc found out in the mtal horoscope aod housesintersectedaccordingly. This is popularly
called Sripati Paddhati. Originally Parasaraqdvocatedthis
system.
2. Gulika's position should be found out for the bcginningof
Saturn'gMuhurta only.
3. Lahiri's Ayanamsais the first best. The reader will find
that we have used Moon's exsct longitude in the abovc
prqcess. Simple angular distanceby any Ayanamsawill
not elter the solution, but a slight change in Moon's
poeition will take us fer away from the truth. With lahiri's
.
.Ayanamsa,we can safely work out even Nadiamsas,which

revealthat time of query hasa perfectalignmentwith
Reseaches
the time of Nisheka.
Chapter5 toucht-isvarious special lagnas, tike Ghatika
Lagna, Hora Lagna and BhavaLagna. The importanceof these
cannot be . underestimated. A final Bhava chart can
ascendanss
emergeafter merging the different bhava charts causedby these
various special ascendants. This final bhava chart can only
revealthe extent of planetaryeffects when consideredhousew.se
whereasthe bhava chart exclusivelypreparedon natal ascendant
alone can sometimes mislead. This is what the sageemphasises
ln sloka 9.
Cqme to chapter6. The zodiacis dividedin to sixteen
Vargasor divisions. Theseare called ShodasaVargas. How to
find out such Vargasand thcir use are fully explained. These
are from Rasi down to Shashtiamsa. In the classification,the
vargasare made in four groups' i.e. 6 vargas,T Vargas,10 Vargas
and 16 Vargas and special technical names havebeon given for
the total number of desirablevargasa planet attainedfor easy
identification. For example if a planet is said to be in Golo'
kamsa,it indicatesthat out of 16 Vargas,it is in l5 good V:rrgas.
Thesetechnicalnamesappearin the gradationof Raja Yogas.
Each Varga findsa certain specificusein preferencoto a
planet's Rasi position. For example,without consideringthe
chart no tangibleresuitsdue to the native'sparents
Dvadasamsa
can be known. In decidingone'scareer,the Dasamsapositions
of the planetsare of supremeimportance. Theseare highlighted
what is
in chapter7. In this very chapter the sage enunciates
planet.
He assignsa maximum
called Vimsopaka strengthof a
. of 20 pointstaking againdifferentlythe four Vargaclassifications,
. viz. Shadvarga, SaptaVarga, Dasa Varga and ShodasaVarga.
The considerationhere is whether a planet is placedin own sign,
, friendly sign, encmy'ssign and the like in the concerncdVarga
scheme. Ihen an eveluatonis done to get Vimsopakastrength.
This strength enablesus decidethe extent of auspiciouseffectsa
planet will be capableof revealingin'a dasa.

l4
Chapter8 dealswith what is calledJaimini aspectson Rasi
basis. Maharshi Jaimini was the sage who expanded these
Parasari principles very extonsively in Sutra form for easy
nemorization and successfulapplicability. The original concept
is howeverfrom the pen of Parasara.
Childhoodevilsare discussed
in chapter9 whiie chapter10
prescribesplanetarycombinationsto combat zuch possibleevils.
Basic information about the 12 housescould be f<rundin
chapter I I while specificattentionmay be given to slokas 14-16.
Thesc 3 slokasservean important key in knowing how a Bhava
is going to give effectsunder various circumstances.
Chapters12-23givea varietyof information and instructions in analysingthe 12 housesof a horoscopein a systematic
manner. A closo study of theserules will tame one'smind to
scientiflcallyapproach the horoscopefor fruitful resuts.
Chapter'24is again one of the most important chapters.
Here, the various effectsof a Bhava lord being in a specifichouse
are given. All tho 12 lords are fully covered. How to Eortout
a situation in case of contrary indicationsis given in slokas
145-148.
The bhavaeffectsof Dhooma,Vyatipata,Gulika ctc.. are
narratedfully in chapter2.5. Pranapada
Lagna's positionvis-aalso revealscertain specialeffectsas could be
vis natal ascendant
seenin this very chapter.
Shadbalacalculations,Ishtaand Kashta phalasand other
related mathematicalaspectsare elaboratelylaid down in the 3
chapters,viz. 26,27 and 28.
It is not in order if planetsarp studiedwith referenceto
merenatal chart. Padasfor varioushouseswill furfher alter the
planetary sffects.This is what is taugbtin chapter 29. Raja
Yogas, inter alia are best analysedthrough Arudha chart or Pada
chart. The sage suggestsGrahaPadasas well, but u0fortunately he leavesit at that without addingmuch information.'
For still deeper research,Upapadawill be more effective.
This areawill give moie cluesparticularly about marriage,financo

Karakamsa is the Navamsa Rasi occupiedby Atma

Chapter 34 is againone of the most instructive. Planets

in these deductions but degree-wisepositions of the various
planeti. I have given onecommon formula covering the six

This can be usefully extened to any loss of years as far as

Trunslationof Saravali. This view is, however, relatedto the'
Moon's strength or otherwise, while waning Moon (Krishna
Paksha or dark half Moon) is a malefic and waxing Moon
(Sukla Pakshaor bright half Moon) is a benefic.
Should the Moon be conjunct a benefic or aspected tra
benefic,sheturns a benefic,evenif in a waningstate.

Thcseart the periods allotted to the planets from the Sun to
Saturn,
Notes : The durations cited can be related to the maturity
of an event,particularly in horary astrology and in Dasa bhukti
judgements. Should the Sun,for example, be related to the
fruition of an event, it witl be in about six months.
Ayana is the time taken by the Sun to ccmplete one
course-northern or southern in tbe zodiac, This is about six
months. The Moon indicatesMuhurtha, which is equal to
48 minutes. Ritu is approximately two months or the time
rcquired for ths Sun's transit of two Rasis.
The period indicated by Rahu is 8 months and Ketu
3 months(vide sloka 46 of this ch.). Also seesloka 18,ch. 4 of

are the 4th, 2nd, l2th, 5th, 9th and the 8th from the Moolatrikona of a planet. The planetsruling such signsare it! friendst
apart from the lord of its exaltationsign. Lords other than these
aie its enemies.lf a]planetbecomesits friend aswell as its enemy
(on accountof the said two computations)then it is neutral or
equal.
Notes : A simpleformula is given in this slokato compute
planetaryrelationships.From the Moolatrikonasignof a planet,
ihe 2nd,4th,5th,8th,9th and l2th lords are its friends. The
rest yiz. 3rd,6th,7rh, l0th and llth lords from Moolatrikona
are its enemies. The exaltation sign's lord is always friendly
even if he ownsthe 3rd,6th,7th, lOth or the llth from Moolatrikona. If, however,friendship and enmity occursimultaneously none prevailsbut equalityor neutrality.
Take for examplethe case of Mars. The Moolatrikona
for him is Aries. The I lth lord from there is Saturnand hence
he is inimical. But he is as well a friend, as he is the lord of
exaltationsignof Mars. Sincewc get enmityon onecountand
friendshipon the other, Saturn becomesequalto Mars. Take
aeainthe relationshipof Venus. He owns the 2nd and ?th from

respectively. Hence he is neutralto Mars.

Gulika are the 5 Kala Velas, suggestedby the sage. The day
durationaccordingto latitudeis divided into eight equalparts,
The eighthportion is unlorded. The first portion is allotted to
the weekday lord. Other portions follow in the order of week

7l-74. CALCULATION OF PR,ANAPADA.' Convert the
given time into vighatikasand divide the same by 15. The
resultant Rasi, degreesetc. be added to the Sun if he is in a
movable sign which will yield Paranapada. If the Sun is in a
fixed sign, add 240degreesadditionally and if in dual sign add
120degreesin furtheranceto get Pranapada. The birth will be
if Pranapadafalls in the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 4th, 10th or
auspici-ous
llth from the natal ascendant.In other houses, Pranapada
indicatesan inausPiciousbirth.
Notes : The calculation of PranapadaLagna is exemplified
below, as Per the aboveslokas:
Assumebirth is at l6gh 25vi. When this is convertedinto
vighatikas,we get 985. Divided by 15, this yields 65.66'Rasi
which means65 signsand 20 degrees. Expungingthe multiples
of 12, we have5s 200or 1700.
The next step is to add this straightawayto the Sun's
tongitudeif he is in a movable sign. Supposethe Sun is in
as
Aries 15 degrees,we get 170*15:185 or Libra 5 degrees
Pranapadaascendant.
In the sameexampleif the Sun is in a fixed sign,sayTaurus
15 degrees,we have to add another 240 degrees,So to say,45
as
(the Sun)+240*170:455 or 95 degrees(Cancer5 degrees)
Pranapadaasceadant.
Again, alternativelyif the Sun is in a dual sign,say Gemini
150,we haveto add only 120 degreesin placeof 240 degrees.
That is 75 (Sun'slongitude)*120*170:365:50 Ariesis Prana'

Chapter O

Ut

The curious reader may note one thing. There are maoy
rules to note the birth month, natal Moon, natal ascendantetc.
with the hclp of Adhana (or prasna). And the correct ones
bringing the variouspossibilitiesto a coincidentalmanner should
be corectly judged without ruehing to conclusions sinply
theoretically.
Ihus the reader will be convincedof the fact that Adhana
time noted is correct as we got back to the birth details from
Adhana and vlceyersc ac-curatelywithout any ambiguity what80ever.
From the saidtwo processes
basedon accuratelymaintained
recordsfor purposes of scientific research,I, rather we, firmly
can concludethe followiog without a shadowof doubt :
l. Gulika's longitudewill corrcspond to the beginningof
Saturn'sMuhurta only, as suggestedby the sage, irrespectiw of
any other authority stating that it should be for the end of
Muhurta ruled by Saturn. In fact, I have not come acrossany
cage'swork stating contrarily to what Parasara stated in this
regard. Suppose we have calculated Gulika for the given
birth chatt for the end of Saturn's muhurta, the longitude of
Gulika would bave advancedby 24 degrees. That would put
the Adhana still 24 days behind the noted date. Pleasenote that
we have exactly reached the Adh4na date a$ per the record
maintained without any variation. This proves that Gulika
shouldbe at the beginningof Saturn'sMuhurta.
2. AccurateAyanamsais only that of Lahiri and that accurate it is as to the seoond of arc. This contention is proved by
the fact that we have made use of the Moon's longitude. Other
4 loogitudesusedby us in the processof getting back to Adbana
are simply angular distanceswhich will not be affected by any
Ayansmsa. But the Moon's longitude will vary plus or minus
accordingto the Ayanarhsa,and Adhana time will be minus or
plus accordingto the variation. Whereaswith lahiri's position
of the Moon, we did not experienccany anamolyin the Adhana
computation. Similarly in progressing towards the birth date
from the Adbana date, Moon's longitude playeda significant
role. If for examplewith anotherAyanamsa,the Moon goesto
Piscesin the Adhana,her natal position, will yet be in Leo but
inconsistentwith Adhana position. Hence Lahiri Ayanamsa has
all the perfection required for calculationof eventhe Nadiamsas.

the birth time in Ghati and vighatis. Considerthe number ot'

Notes : Let us find out the Ghatika lagna in the above

Bhava Lagna, Hora Iagna and Ghatika Lagna' Apart from the
natal ascendant,the planets will remain in different bhavas
according to ttre special ascendantbeing considered' Thus we
get foui different Bhava charts. If a planet remains in the
iame bhava in all the four bhava charts,it will speciallyreveal
the bhavaeffects due to it. Otherwise, its effects are proprtionatelyalteredin respectofthat bhava.
The Benaresedition(Chaukambhaseries)hasthe following
special hints in this chapter respecting planets and bhavas,
t-hus: The planet on the cuspof a housewill give full effectsdue
to the bhava concerned. The one in Bhava Sandhi (end of
house)givesno resultsdue to tbat bhava. (This doesnot roean
that the planet is wholly ineffective. It is, suffice to say,
ineffectiveas far as that bhavais concerned')Ifa planetis ahead

justby knowing which, one can dealwith the longevityof a
native. If the natal ascendantis an odd sign count dirctly from
Aries to natal ascendant. If the natal ascendantis an even sign,
count from Pisces to the natal ascendant, in the"ieverseorder.
Similarly, if the Hora Lagna is an odd one, count from Aries to
Hora Iagna in direct order. If the Hota Iagna is an even one,
count from Piscesto Hora Lagna in the reverseorder. If both
the products are odd signsor even signs, then add both thqfigures. Ifoneis odd and the otheris even, then knowthd
differencebetweenthe two products. If the latest product, in
this process,is an odd one, count so many signsfrom Aries in
a direct manner;if an evenone, count so many signsfrom Pisces
in reverseorder. The sign so known will be the Varnada for
the ascendant.
t-a-tes
;Take the caseof a'native who hasLibra (an odd
sign)as natal ascendantand Scorpio (an even sign) as Hora*:,
Lagna. When we count from Aries to Libra (odd sign-hence
direct), we get ?. Again from Piscesto Scorpio (Hora lagna, an
evensign-hence reverse)we have 5 signs.We haveto add these
l
two figures,as'theyare of the same class,i.e. odd. We get 12.
This productis an evenone. Hencewe have to count 12 signs
from Piscesin a reversemannerto get Varanadafor the I:gna.
Thus we get Aries. This is the Varnada Rasi for natal ascendant.
There is a suggestionfrom one quarter that longitudes
and Hora Lagna be also taken into consid,
of natal ascendant
eration.In that case,the counting when done from Aries, is to
be done from zero degree. And from Pisces,it is from the last
degreeof Pisces,i.e. the 30th degree of Piscesis the starting

Notes : The method of calculating the ruling planet for

each Shashtiamsa
advisedin sloka 33 above. Assume that Venusis placed in
Capricorn 13"25', To find out the Shashtiamsa
lord, ignorc the
sign positionand multiply the degreesand minutesby 2. Hence
13" 25' x2:26" 50'. The degreesi.e. 26 (ignoring minutes)be
divided by 12. The remainderis 2 which should be increase,:l

42-53. yARGA CLASSIFICATION .. Maitreya, explained
now are thc sum effccts of classificationsof different divisions
(or Varps so far narrated). Thesc are four kinds,viz. Shad
Varga(6 divisionsconsidered),SapthaYarga(7 divisionsconsidered),Dasa Varga(10 divisionsconsidered)and Shodasayarga
(all the l6 divisionsconsidercd).In the Shadvarga
classification,
the Varga designations arc Kimsuka, Vyanjana, Chaamara,
Chatra and Kundala according to a planet being in 2 to 6
combinationsof good Vargas. Next is the Saptavargain which
these classificationscontinue in the same rnanner upto six
combinationsof good Vargas,the 7th additional Vargagetting
classified
as Mukutir- In the DasaVarga scheme,the designations
commencefrom Parijata etc. suchas 2 gooti Vargas-parijatha.
3. Uttama,4. Gopura, 5. Simhasana,6. paaravata,7. Devaloka,
8. Brahmaloka, 9. Sakravahanaand 10. Vargas-Srirlhama.
In the Shodasa Varga schemethe combinationsof Vargas
go with designations thus : two good Vargas-Bhedaka,
3. Kusuma,4. Nagapushpa,5. Kanduka, 6. Kerala,7. Kalpavriksha,E.ChandanaYana,9. Poornachandra,
10.Uchchaisrava,
ll. Dhanvantari, 12. Suryakanta, 13. Vidrtrma, 14. Sakrasimhasana,15. Goloka and 16. Vargas-Sri Vallabha. In these
divisions,the divisions falling in the planet's exaltationeign,
Moolatrikonasign,own sign, and the signs ownbd by the loid
of an anglefrom the Arudha ascendantare all to be consictered
(as good Vargas). The divisions of a combustplanet, defeated
pllryt, weak planet and a planet in bad Avasthaslike Sayana
be
all ignored to be auspicious,for thesedestroy the good yogur.
Notes : Four kinds of summaryof the Vargasor diyisions
are suggestedthus :

Chapter 6

Ro

(a) Shadvarga (considering six Vargas) vi;. Rasi, Hora,

Decanate,NavarnsaDvadasamsa
and Trimsamsa.
(b) SnptaVarga(sovenVargas)addir;i: Saptamamsa
to the
Shad Varga.
(c) DasaVarga (ten Vargas) adding Shodasamsa,
Dasamamsa and Shashtiamsa
divisionsto the SaptaVarga.
(d) Shodasa Varga (all the 16 Vargasso far narratedby
the s.rge).
The groupsas aboveare as per slokas17.20of ch,7 infra.
The Vargasto be considered(asgood) are :
l. Exaltationdivisions.
'
2. Moolatrikona divisions.
3. Own divisions.
4. The divisionsof the ownersof the four anglescounted
from the Arudha Padaor PadaLagna.
The first threeare clear. The fourth one needsa clarification. f n stoka 52 above,the word ,,{l{alq" (Sx'anullnrh) has
beenuscclwhich meansfrom the Arudha hada,.irpada Lagna.
Hencethe lust quarterof sloka52 hints at the "tJrvisions
of the
lord.sot'anglesfrom the Arudha Pada"..(Similarly,.Swamsa"or
Frivr means the Navamsaoccupied by Atma Karaka i.e. Karakamsaascendant,vide ch. 33, infra.)
The sage suggeststhat the signs ownedby the lords of
Arudha f-agnaand of its anglesare consideredgood for Varga
Division. This will bring many signs--sometimes
as many as gin the purview of this rule. [t hasbeenfelt necessary
to bring
this liberalapproach contained in the sloka to the attentionof
the reader. In my opinion, the truer strengthof a planetlies
in its Moolalrikona, exaltationand own signpositions.
For the sakeof brevity, the good Vargasin number in the
context of Shadvarga through Shodasa Vafga are given special
as detailedbelow :
designations
If Shadvargaschemeis consideredtwo or more suchgood
Vargasare known thus :
2. Kimsuka 3. Vyanjana4. Chamara 5. Chatra 6. Kundala.
If SaptaVarga schemeis used the same namesupto six
good Vargasapply while seven good Vargasgo under the name
Mukuta.

If l)asa Vargaschemeis resorted to, the good Vargasin

numberare calledthus :
2, Parijata3. Uttama 4. Gopura 5. Simhasana6. paravata
7. Devaloka8. Brahmaloka9. Sakravahana
10. Sridhama.
.
The aulhor of SarvartbaChintamanidesignates
8, 9 and l0
respectivelyas Amara, Iravata and Vaiseshikamsas.In fact,
thesethreeare popularly known with these namesviz. Amara
etc.ratherthan with the onesgivenby Maharshi.
When ShodasaVarga scl.rcme
is wholly considered,the
numberof gooddivisionsarc knownas :
2. Bhedaka 3. Kusuma 4. Nagapushpa 5, Kanduka

10. Llchchaisrava
ll. Dharrvantari12 Suryakanta13. Vidruma
14. Sakrasirnhasana
15. Goloka 16. Sri Vallabha.
.
It may be notedthat mostof eventhe hoaryauthorshlve
not gonebeyondDasaVargascheme. The sagehasfully explained all the I6 Vargasinvolvedso rhat a planet'sactualdisposition is properlyknown,
As far as Hora or half of a sign is concerned"good
Vargas" shouldbe flexiblyusedas exceptthe Sunand Moon,
none hasrulershipof Hora. Jupiteris in exaltationVargaif in
Moon's Hora. Thcn, for Jupiterin Sun'sHora, and for other
four in any Hora, how rJowc classifythe Varga?ln my opinion,
we haveto follow the hint givenin sloka l3 of the nextchaptcr
that Jupiter, Sun and Mars give effectsif in Sun'sHora (as lar
as Hora is concerned)and the rest of the planetsexceptMercury
in Moon's llora. Mercury is good in both. the Horas. So to
say,theseare good Horas for the concernedptanets. Ii iollows
that Jupiter and Mercury are good in any Hora for Varga
classification.(Thereare further hints about Hora, vide ch.7,
sloka l3 onwards.)
Nextly, a bricf clarilicationis rcquireddbciut thi: Sun add

'
Now, coming back to the Varganames,qe will take up
some for clarifications. The word "Suryakantamsa"denotes

graduallyit gainsard becomesfully potential in exaltation.
It is also statedthat planetsin own signsget full strength.'
Here a distinctiollis to be noted.Male planets in malesignsand
femaleplanetsin femalesingsget full strength. Mars and others
each have two signs. Mars, a male planet, in own signif in
Aries is betterthan Mars in Scorpio,a female sign. Venusin
Taurus is betterplaced than in Libra. Such inference may be
wisely made. Thesedetailsare elaboratelydiscussedin the relevant chaptersin the matter of calculationof Shadbalaetc.

13.16.HORA, DECANATE AND TRIMSAMSA EFFE.
CfS .' Jupiter, the Sun and Mars give (pronounced) effectsin
the hora of the Sun. The Moon, Venusand Saturndo so when
in Moon's hora. Mercury is effectivein both the Horas. In
the caseof an evenRasi tle hora of the Moon will be powerful
in effectswhile the Sun'shora in an odd sign will be so. Full,
medium and nil will be the effectsrespectively in the beginning,
middle and the end of a hora. Similar applicationsbe madefor
a decanate,Turyamsa, Navamsaetc. As for Trimsamsaeffects
the Sun is akin to Mars and the Moou is akin to Venus. The
effectsapplicableto Rasi will apply to Trimsamsa.
Notes : The three male planetsin Sun's Hora will be revealing while Venus, Moon and Saturnare good in Moon's Hora.

Chapter 7

gs

Here again,Sun's Hora of odd signsand Moon's Hora in even

signsare given preference. Now from this, it emergesthat Sun,
Mars and Jupiterare highly powerfulin the first half of an odd
sign and Moon, Venus and saturn are very revealing in the
secondhalf of an evensign. Mercury is powerful in any Hora
whetheran odd sign or otherwise.
The effectsdue to a Hora will be derivedfully if the planet
in
the
first one-tbirdpart of the Hora. The effects will be
is
mediumor nil accordingto the placementsbeingin the second
or third part of the Hora.

respectively
are 6,2, 4,5,2 and l. This is the Vimsopaka

The fgure against each individual division is celled

Yarga Viswa is the total strengthas shown in sloka 25 for
the various dignities like placerpentin own house, extreme
friend's horse etc.
' If a planct is contlnuously in own Vargasin the whole
of Shad Vutp scheme or any other, it gets all the 20 points
or full of Vimsopakastrength. This is alwaysnot possible' By
virtue of a plrdement in other than own house, the points
diminish. In this contoxt, PanchadhaSambandhaor compound

Notes : A planet away from the Sun is immune to tossof
rays, and can exprss itself fully. This need not be literally
misinterpreted that the one not beiog in the 7th from the Sun
will be ineffective. For example, we have Ubhayachari and
other yogasin which case,a planet other than the Moon is
relatedto the Sun by closepositions. This doesnot mean that
thescyogaswill not fructify. If a planet is eclipsedin the Sun,
it provesimpotcnt. Thie appliesto Venus and Saturnas well,
againstthe common belid that these two do not lose rays cven
if combust and hence are free from Astangata dosha. This
euggcstionis only for Ayurdaya calculations and rectifications
of planeraryrays (or Graha Kiranas). Pleaseseeths following

3-6. SHORT-LIFE COMBINATIONS (upto sloka 23) :

Should tho Moon be in the 6th,-8th, or the l2th from the
ascendantand be in aspectto a malefic, the child will die soon.
If in the ptocess there be g benefic'saspect,it may live upto 8.
If a beneflcis retrograde in the 6th, 8th or the l2th being in
aspect to a malefic, death will occur within a month of birth.
This is true only when the ascendantis unoccupiedby a benefic.
Should the 5th bc occupiedby Saturn,Mars and tbe Sunjointly,
(early) death of mother and brother will come to pass. Mars
placed in the ascendantor in the 8th and be conjunct Saturn or
Sun or be in aspectto a malefic,being bereft of benefic aspect
will prove a sourceof (immediate)death.
Notes : Here a pertinent query may emergeas to why the
sagementionscombinationsfor preMture death while longevity
cannot be decidedly declared upto the 24thyear ofage as per
his own statement. These yogas will guide us to dctect thc
immediatedefectsfor longevity and resort to remedial measureg
like firc sacrifice,prayers,donations, medicineetc. and save thc
from Akala Mrity.u or prematuredeatb,vide ch. 5 of Horasarr.
The Moon in an evil houseat'birth and in aspect to a
malefic will cause.early death. Even a benqfic'saspect on the
Moon, in the said Yoga, will causethe end at the age of E,
suggeststhe sage. If she is increasing,this neednot be feared.

Yavanacharyas,as quoted by Kalyana Varma' The Moon
should be in the Qccidentalhalf if she is a beqrfic or be in thc

In this connection, pleaserefer to ch.79 (Vol. II.of our
presentwork).
'
The late C. G. Rajan has a detailedand elaborate account
of planetary war. According to him if two planetshave identical
longitudes to the minute of arc there is a planetarywar, (This
doesnot involve luminaries).He addsthat they shouldbe on the
same latitude, i. e. both northern or both southern. The one
with higher latitude is declared winner. He givesan example
involving Saturn and Mars as under, for 0347 hrs on l5th

will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the learned(in

Notes : Our text requiresthe 2nd lord to be in exaltation
or in own sign so that the nativewill look after his people& C.
It has been practically seen that the 2nd lord's dignity is
essentialfor one to be helpful to others and be dutiful towards
his family members.Chaukhambaedition has almosta different
condition in this place : It statesthat the 2nd lord shouldbe in
deep exaltation or in own sign and be in aspectto Jupiter. The
net resultgiven therein is "fame and liked bypall". The condition of 'deep' exaltation seemsto me to be somewhatin excess
of the requirementwhile a simple own sign positionis givenas
an alternative. As such,I feel mereexaltationof the 2nd lord is
cnoughfor obtainingthe saidresults.

ll. EFFORTLESS ACQUISITIOI{ : If the 2nd lord is

conjuncta beneficand be in a good division like Paravatamsa,
therewill be all kinds of wealthin his family effortlessly.
Notes : "Paravatamsa"denotes six good Vargasout of
Dasavargascheme(vide ch.6, supra)."Paravatamsadau"of the
text denotesParavataor suchother higher Vargas. To wit, the
or in Devalokatnsa,
Brahma2nd lord should be in Paravatamsa
lokamsa, Sakravahanamsa
or Sridhamamsain the Dasavarga
scheine. The eorrespondingsuperior Amsaswhcm the entire
Shodasavargaschemeis usedshould be above Poornachandramsa. In the Dasavargascheme,why the sage fixesthe minimum Vargaas Paravathais obvious. This vargadenotes6 good
divisions in Dasavargascheme i.e. above 50f of good
divisions.
The 2nd lord beingendowedwith sucha Vargadignity and
conjunctanotherbeneficbrings in effortlesswcalthand wealth
of all kinds. It follows that the 2nd lord's disposition (or the
dispositionof Jupiter)will decidethe financialstatusof a native.

12. EYES .' If the 2nd lord is endowedwith strength,the

the 6th,8th or l2th, therewill be disease
Notes .' "Netresa" denotes the lord of the 2nd, i.e. significator of eyes.This doesnot meanthat the l2th lord hasnothittg
to do with eyes. Preciscly,2nd lord and l2th lord respectively
lord over right eyeand left eyerespectively. This is from the
health point of view of eye. However,when the beautyof the
oyesis to be known, it is from the 2nd houseonly. Jupiter
well placed ih the 2nd, or the 2nd lord in exaltation,or
with a beneficwill give one beautifuleyes. While Venus in the
2nd or Full Moon in the 2nd will not depriveone of beautiful
eyes,defectsbf sight at an early stagewill result from the said
position. Mercury in the 2nd will havea say on the speech
ratherthan on the sight. HenceJupter's positionin the 2nd is
a safe bet for strong sight and beautyof the eyes,if the planet
is not with evils of fall and the like.

Notes : Tlre 2nd house and its lord are ,referred in the
matter of windy diseases.Gastric troubles, rheumatism and
the like are classifiedunderwindy disorders. If the 2nd house
or its lord is associatedwith Saturnor Mercury it will cause
rheumatism
and suchother disorders. If Jupiterin affiictionis

l. O Brahmin,I now tell you aboutthe 3rd house.Should

the 3rd housebe conjunct or aspectedby a benefic, the native
will be endowedwith.co-bornand be courageous.
Notes : 'Bhratru' in Sanskrit simply means a brother.
Proper adjectiveis to be added, riiz. Jyeshto for elder and
Kanishta for younger, to the word Bhratru. The 3rd house
spccificallydealswith the after-bornwhile the I I th housedeals
with preborn. This can be seep from sloka 32, Ch. 32 infra.
In the said chapter the sage instructsus to considerMars for
the 3rd bhavaand Jupiter for I lth bhava,
Youngersisteris denotedby the 3rd houseand Mars wbile

2. If the 3rd lord along with Mars aspectsthe 3rd house
the nativewill enjoy good resultsdue to the 3rd house.Alternatively thesetwo planetsmay be in the 3rd itself.
Notes : Mars alonein the 3rd, exceptin Capricorn or in
Scorpio or in Arics, is not conductiveto brothers. The form of
our slokais differentin that the 3rd housebe jointly aspected
or
occupiedby Mars and the 3rd lord for the prosperityof coborn.

Notes: "The coborn will not live long" is the hint givenby
the phrase"Sadyonihantarau". Mars and the 3rd lord joining
in a malefic's sign or joining a malefic is said to be adversefor
the longevityof coborn. Similarly Jupiter and the I lth lord in
sucha stateis adversefor elderbrothersand elder sisters;Vcnus
and the 7th lord so placed for the spouse,Jupiterand the 5th
lord so placedfor progeny; Sun and the 9th lord so placedfor
father, the Moon and the 4th lord so placedfor mother,and so
on and so forth. So to sry the significatorand the lord of the
concernedhousetogetherin a malefic's sign or with a malefic
(or in an evil house)will bring harm to the said relative.

is a female planet or if the 3rd house be occupied by female
planets, one will havesisters born after him. Similarly male

effectsbe declaredafter assessing

Notes : Saturnand Mercuryare termedas neutralplanets.

Rahu and Ketu are shadowyones. In the matter of deciding
the sexofcoborn or progeny, Saturnand Rahu be treated as
maleswhile Mercury and Ketu are females.
(Trailokyapraknsikavide sloka l2 treatsKetu as a female
and Rahuas aeunuch. Daivagnabharana
vide ch, I, s. 14-15
considersthe reverseof this at one place and imediately quotes
a differentsihool of thought. thus : Rahu is a malepi"nrt uod
Ketu a eunuch.)
All odd signsare malesigns and all evensignsare female
signs.Male signsexclusivelyoccupiedby male planetswill cause
birth of brothers. Converseis the casewith femalesignsoccupied by female planets. This should be known from the 3;d
house being male or female sign & C. If the 3rd houseis
occupiedby a male planetas well as a female planet,there will
be brothers and sisters as well. The contributionwill come to
passif the contributor is strong.For example,Jupiterin the 3rd
in a male sign if strongwill causethe birth of a brother. If he is
weak,acquisitionof brother through Jupitrr will not be fruitful.
Then one hasto look upto alternativesourceswhetherthe native
will havea brother or not.

5-6. Should the 3rd lord and Mars be togetherin the gth,
destruction of coborn will result. Happinessin this respect
will come to pass if Mars or the 3rd lord is in an angleor in a
trine or in exaltation/friendlydivisions.
Notes : The suggestionsgiven in the notes for sloka 3
about spouse,elder brother, mother etc. may be suitably
extendedin this respectwith the help of the presentverse. For
example, if Venus and 7th lord are together in the gth, the
native'smarriedlife will be short (and in bad taste.)
Similarly, their conjunction in an angle or in a trine will
confer longlastingbeneficeffects.
Further hint that can be taken from the versein question
is : If a significator and houselord join togetherin a sign which
is identical with debilitation/inimical sign for one of them" the

t40

significanceof the planet is lost. If they join in a signwhich is

exaltation/friendlysign for one of tbem,then the significance
of

of these2 eldersand the 3rd, 7th, 9th and l2th of younger
coborn will be shortlived while six of the said twelvewill be
longlived.
Notes : The word 'Karaka' or significatorin sloka 7 etc.
shouldbe wiselynoted as Mars only and not as Jupiter,which
is borneby sloka I l.
In the contextof indication of one'o having 12 coborn,
this may be taken in the presentage to be a numberof coborn,
if not literally 12. Mars exalted and being in the companyof
Jupiter is denoted which means Jupiterwill be in fall. Someof
the coborn will die obviously becauseof Jupiter's debilitatioa
taking awaysomepotenceof exaltedMars.

destroythc prehorn. The afterborn will be destroyedif Saturn
is found in rhe 3rd. In the same situationMars will destroy
both the prebornand later born.
Notes : Sage Bhrigu also opines that the Sun in the 3rd
house will not allow the native to retain his elder brothers.
This position will affect one'srelationship with brothers and
sisters. Regarding Mars in the 3rd, Garga Maharshi states
that the nativewill obtain two brothersand two sistersall the 4
of whom will pass away early. The placementof Mars in the
3rd hasalsoadversesay on the native's character. For further

Notes : It is not known why the 4th lord shouldbe in fall

be the resultof defectivetext as the next line addsthat the 4th

thc native will bcget daughters,so sayastrologers.
Notes : The 5th lord's joining rhe Moon will confer daughters (rather more daughters) than sons. The Moon is a planet
of multiplicity and hencethere will be a number of daughters.
An alternative suggestedby the sageis that the 5th lord
chould be in a decanateowned by the Moon. The Morn's decanates are : the first tcn degreesof C-ancer,the secondten degrees
ofPiscesand the third ten degreesof Scorpio. If the 5th lord

Then thc nativc will obtain daughters.

24-32. NUMBER OF CHILDREN .' There will be l0 sons

if the 4th and the 6th are occupied by malefics while the 5th
lord is in deep exaltationjoining the ascendantlord as Jupiter is
with another benefic. Nine will be the number of sons that one
wilt beget if Jupiter is in deep exaltation as Rahu is with the
2nd lord and the 9th is occupiedby its own lord. Therewill be
eight sonsif Jupiter is in the 5th/9th while the 5th lord is endowed with strengthand the 2nd lord is in the l0th. Saturnin the
9th from fhe ascendantwhile the 5th lord is in the 5th itself,
will give 7 sons out of which twins will be born twice. If the
5th lord in the 5th ih conjunction with the 2nd lord, there
will be birth of 7 sons out of which 3 will passaway. Only one
son is denoted if therebe a maleficin the 5th from the ascendant while Jupiter is in the sth from Saturnot viceversa, If
the 5th househasa malefic in it or if Saturnis in the 5th from
Jupiter, the native will begetoffspring only throughhis 2nd or
3rd wife. Shouldthe 5th beoccupiedby a maleficwhile Jupiter
has Saturn in the 5th as the ascendant lord is in the 2nd, and
the 5th lord is with Mars, one will live long but losehis children

3-5. RELATII/ES AFFECTED .. The Karaka of a rclative

or the lord of such a house joining the 6th lord or being in the
6th/8th house indicates ulcers/bruisesto such a rclative tike
father. The Sun with such lordship and in such a housc
dcnotes such affectation of head,the Moon face,Mars neck,
Mercury navel, Jupiter nose, Venus eyes, Saturn. feet and the
aodesabdomen.
Notes : In these three slokas, we are instructedto know
of the possibleaffiictionsto the natlve'srelativesand to the native
bimself - both from the horoscopeof the native.

Chapter 17

153

Firstly a certain significator or a certain bhavalord should

join the 6th lord or be in the 6th/8th house so that the relative
signifiedby the said Karaka incurs ulcers, bruises etc. For
erample,in a SagittariusLagnahoroscope,the 6th lord is Venus.
The 6th is Taurus and the 8th is Cancer. Suppose the 4th lord
Jupiter or the Matrukaraka Moon (signifying mother) joins
Venus or is in Taurus. (Cancer though the 8th house, the
Moon thereinshould not be deemedharmful in this regard and
Jupiterin Cancerwill not alsoaffict the motheras he is exalted
thereand protLctsthe 4th by aspect.) As a result, the mother
will incur ulcer, bruisesetc.
The relatives signifiedby planetsand Bhavasare denoted
in ch, 32, infra.
The second clue is to know the possibleaffiiction,to the
native,of a particularareain the body. If the Sun is the lord of'
the 6th houseor is with the 6th lord or is in the 6th/8th,the
native will be apt to incur affiiction of head, dnd so on and
forth. As regards, Rahu and Ketu, they do not own any house
in the normal context. Hence their position in the 6th/8th or
goiningthe 6th lord needonly be considered' Rahu or Ketu in
the 6th/8th will causestomachialdisorders'

6. FACIAL DISEASES.' Should the lord of the ascendrnt bc in a sign of Mars or of Mercury and be aspected
of the face'
Merury, there will be diseases
Notes : The lord of the ascendant should be in Aries,
Scorpio, Gemini or Virgo and be aspectedby Mercury. Even
lf Mars, ruling the ascendant,is in Gemini or in Virgo and is
aspectedby Mercury, the native will suffer facial diseases' The
occuPationcan be in anYbhava.
As regardsAries Lagnaand Scorpio Lagna a different look
given
to the placementof Mars in own sign. For Aries Lagna,
be
Mars in Scorpio or for Scorpio Lagna, Mars in Aries and
aspectedby Mercury will not produce the said adversity. unless
Man is seriouslyaffiicted otherwise.

If the Sun is in the 7th in a horoscope promisinglose
character, the native will scek pleasures from femaleswho are
barren. As regards the Moon, the kind of females to sexually
intercoursewith, will correspondto the sign becoming the 7th
house. For example, when Virgo becomesthe 7th house the
female is a virgin; Libra prostitutes, Gemini a housewife and
so on and so forth. Mars in the 7th denoteg a female that
has come of marriageable age or one who is in her monthly
course or one devoid of conceivingability. Similarly, in other
cases. Jnpiter in theSh is alsono exception.
The aboveresults shouldbe declared,only after ensuring
that the nativeis primarily disposedto go out of the way for
sexualunion, with the support of other horoscopicindications.

female if Venusis in a Rasi or Navamsaof Mars, or is aspected
by or in conjunction with Mars. That is, he will have unusual
habits in the matter of sexual gratifcation from the female.
4. Venus,iFrelated to Saturn and his divisionsinsteadof

wives if the 7th lord is in fall, or in a malefic,sSign along with a
malefic while the 7th house ,or the ?th Navamsabelongsto a
cunuch planet. If Mars and Venusare in the 7th or if Saturn is
in the 7th while the lord of the ascendantis in the 8th, the native
will have 3 wives. There will be many wives if Venusis in a
dual sign while its lord is in exaltationas the Zth lord is endowed
with strength.
Notes : For a dual marriage,the 7th from the natal ascendant or the 7th from Navamsa ascendantshould be owned by a
eunuch planet. So to say, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius
should be the 7th as above. While this is fulfilled, the ?th lord
(from natal ascendant)should be in his sign of debilitation or in
a malefic'ssignalong with a malefic.
, The other two yogasare simpleand needno elaboration.

-lord is in fall while the 8th hasa maleficin it and the ascendant

13-25.COMBINATIONS FOR FATHER'S DEATH : The

father of thp nativewould havepassedaway prior to the native's
birth if the Sun is in the 6thlSthllzth as the 8th lord is in the
9th, the l2th lord is in the ascendant,
and the 6th lord is in the
5th house. Should the Sun be in the 8th while the 8th lord is in
the 9th, the native'sfather will pass away within a year of his
birth. If the lord of the l2th is in the 9th whilethc 9th lord is in
debilitationNavamsa,the native'sfather will facehis end during
the 3rd/l6th year of the native. Death of father will occur in
the 2ndor l2th yearif the ascendant
lord is in the 8th as the 8th
lord is with the Sun. Should Rahu be in the 8th from the 9th
(i.e. 4th from the ascendant)as the Sun is in the 9th from the
9th (i.e. 5th from the ascendant),
deathof father will take place
in the 16th/l8thyearof the native. If Saturnis in the 9th from
the Moon asthe Sun is with Rahu,the native'sfathbr will die in
the 7th or the 19th year of the native. The nativein his 44th
year will losehis father if the 9th lord is in the l2th as the l2th
lord is in the 9th. If the ascendantlord is in the 8th as the
Moon if in the Sun'sNavamas,the native in his 35th/4lst year
will losehis father. One will lose his father in the 50th year if
the Sutr,beingthe lord of the 9th, is conjunctMars and Saturn.
If the Sun is in the 7th from the 9th (i. e. 3rd from the ascendant) as Rahu is in the 7th from the 3r<l (i.e. 9th from the

Chapter 20

177

ascendant), the 6thl25th year of the native will be fatal for

father. If Saturnis in the 7th from the gth (i. e. 2nd from the
ascendant)as the Sun is inthe Zth from Saturn (i.e. gth from
the ascendant),the ages of 30, 2l or 26 will be fatal for the
father. If the 9th lord is in debilitationwhile his dispositoris
in the 9th, the native will losehis father at 26 or 30. Thus the
astrologcrsmay know the effects(of the 9th house).

Note the lord of the 5th Mars occupyingthe 2nd housc in

Leo. The nativity has a number of splendidplanetaryinfluences
apart from tbis. As indicatedby sageParasara,the 2nd house
p-osition of the 5th lord gave her a world-wideposition and
honour for a very long numberofyears.
One can notice that the native will haveample opportunitiesof shiningbrilliantly, whetheror not on a world level,
with the 2nd hor:se placement bf ths 5th lord in strength and
dignity. Should there further be sufficient Raja Yogas etc. as
in the caseof the examplechart give4, the nativewill be sure to
hit the headlinesof the world press.
The position of the 5th lord in the 2nd will further cuase
asthmaand catarrh and the native will have infected lungs. Hc

Notes : Maharshi Parasaraenunciatesfour differcnt possi'
bi.litiesif the 5th lord is in the 6th house.
1. Obtainingsonsthat will be inimicalto the native : The
6th housedenotesone'senemies. The planet occupyingthe 6th
will signify the classof enemy.5th lord indicatessons, 9th lord
indicatesfather, 4th lord indicates mother and so on and so
forth. Suchrelativewill be inimicallo the nativecorresponding
to the rulershipof the occupantof the 6th house.
2. Loss of children : The 6th is the maraka sthanafor
children as it is the 2nd from the 5th. Hence loseqf progenyis
denoted.
3. Obtaining an adopted issue: Normally .this occurs
when one is unableto have progenyof his own loins, or fails to
have living children. Point 2 aboveanswersthp circumstances.
4. Purchaseof a child : This is also likc adoptidn. Hence
it follows that the situation of the 5th lord in the 6th house
is not very desirable, of course.excepting Saturn for Virgo
ascendant.
It is also not advisable for a female to have her 9th lord
in the l0th housefrom the point of view of filial happiness.

Dealing with the above horoscope, Parasaradescribes

lhe native's spouse thus : "she will be somewhat shorttcmpered. Shewill deliver auspiciouswords. She will be dear
to her husband. Shewill live begettingfame from all the four
directions. She will be fortunate. She will be freefrom any
blemish(or Dosha). Shewill be dark in complexion. She will
feed the needy. In beauty, she will be akin to Rathi (the
extremelycharmingspouseof the extremely ch'armingCupid,
the Hindu God of beautyand son of Maha Vishnu). She will
many ornamentsand be intelligent. Shewill be modest
possess
and will not haveany desirefor other men (than her spouse,i.e.
describes
the native in que3tion)." This is how sageParasara
the wife of the native in questionin verses27-29 ibid. Though
no direct reason has been attributed for the chastity of the
spouse,we cannotignorethe dispositionof the 7th lord, particularly with debilitatedMoon in the 7th. The ?th lord is in the
' 4th giving the native a spousewho would be extremelydevout
proving an asset to the husband. As such the view of our
presentsloka in regardto the spouseis at the outset defective.
Thus the wife cannot be out of the control of the native. The
Chaukambhaedition also clearlystatesthat the native'swife will
not be chaste, see qrql{aqlilfrilr and hencethe versionof our

145-148.MISCELLANEOUS .' O Brahmin, thoseare the

efrectsofhouse lords which are to be deduced consideringtheir
strenghs and weaknesses.In the case of a planet owning two
bhavas, the results are to be deductedbasedon its two lordships
(for the sameplacement). If contrary risults are thus indicated,
the resultswill be nullified, while results of varied nature will
come to pass. The planet will yield full, half or a quarter of
the effects accordiry to its strength being full, medium and
negligiblerespectively. Thus I have told you about the effects
due to bhava lords in various bhavas.
,Notes : We get important and key clue to analysethe
efrectsof a bhava lord placed in a certain bhava. Except the
Sun and the Moon, the other 5 planetsown two bhavaseach. In

236

Brihat ParasaraEora Sastra

the caseof the Sun and the Moon, the results cited will come to
pass. (Herealso onc ahouldgive due considerationto various
other relative factors. Simply applying the effects without
checkingothet sourceswill leadto pitfalls.)
When a planet ownstwo signs,its placementin a certain
bhavais affectedby its two lordships. For example,takethe
caseof Saturnin the 5th house.fora Piscesnptive. His position
in tbe 5th as the I lth lord w:lt givechildren end happiness
through them. And as the l2th lord, he witl deny progenyso
that the native resorts to visiting shrines elc. in a bid to
obtain a progeny. [n such a contrary situation the drfferent
results mentionedfor Saturn'sposition in the sth shouldnot be
Btraightaway
declared but alternativesourceslike Jupiter(the
significatorof progery) and the Moon (the owner of the 5th
house)shouldbe looked upto.
Next we are clearly instructed in regard to results of
mutually drfferentspheres. For exampleagain take the same
caseof PiscesascendanthavingSaturn in the 5th house. Othor
rcsults mentionedfor the l lth lord beingin the 5th houseere :
nativebeingreligiousand happy. As the l2th lord in the 5tb,
the resultmentionedis that the nativewill bo devoid of education. After sortingout the controversyaboutprogeny,it should
be declaredthat Saturnin the 5th will deprivethe nativeborn
in Piscesascendantof learning(as due to l2th lor{sbip) and
witl make the native religiousand happy (as the I tth lobd).

(uptosloka 13) : lf Dhuma is in the ascendant,
the native will
be valiant,endowed with beautifuleyes.stupeliedin disposition,
unkind,wickedand highlyshort-tempcrcd.
Notes : Beforedbclaringresultsdue to placements
of nonluminousplanets(i.e. Dhuma etc.), the student will do well
to refer to the sage'sinstructionin the concluding versesof the
presentchapter.
I havegiveniu my hotesfor slokas 66-69in ch.3 details
of ownership,exaltationand debilitation signs-for the l0 Upagrahas and Muhurta planets as culled out from Keeranuru
Nataraja'sJetakslankaram. These will benefit the reader to
(or
of thesealso fer edch'
consider
'Forlordships secondarylordships)
example, Gulika is 'lord' of Aquarius. Hence in
sign.
the caseof a Cancer native, he is the 'qth lord' apart fronr
Saturn'scandidacyfor 8th lordship. Of courseprimary importancebe given to Saturn and he should not be underratedin
that case.
The resultsdue to Dhuma, Gulika etc. will mature in
the Dasaperiodsof their dispositors. For example, if Gulika
is place.din Virgo, the effectsdue to Gulika will come to pa"s ln
the major and sub periods of Mercury
In giving effects Gulika is comparcd to,Saturn, Kata to
Rahu, Ardha Praharato Mercury and Yarnaghantaka
to Jupiter.
The first two a_remalefic in nature while the laJter twci are
benefics. Of all, Gulika js the most powerful in adverse
results while Yamaghantaka(son of Jupiter) is the gighty

Notes : Throughout this chapter and others related to
calculationof strengthsof planetsand houses,the term ..Virupa'

has been used which denotes 'Shashtiamsas'or 'Kalas'. 60 such

units makeonq Rupa.
The planet that aspects is Drishti Graba or the aspector.
The planet that is aspected is known as Drisya Graha
or the aspected. The longitude of 'the aspected'.is to be
deducted from that of the aspector. If the longitudeof the
aspectedis lesserthan that of the aspector, increasethe longitude of 'the aspected'by 360 to facilitate deduction,which will
yield the aspectualor Drishti angle.
After finding out the'Drishtiangles,the variousquantities
will have to be processedas under with the relevant principles :
Rule l. When aspectual angle is between 30 and 60
degrees,reduce30 degrees from the resultant aspectualangle
and tlivide by 2 to get aspectualvalue.
Rule 2. If the aspectudlangle is above60 but below 90
degrees,reduce60 from the aspectual angleand add 15 to get
aspectualvalue.
Rule 3. In case the aspectual angle is above90 but less
than 120 degreesthe aspectualanglebe redirced from I20, then
halvedand then increacedby 30, to get aspectualvalue.
Rule 4. If the aspectual angle is between 120and 150
degrees,reducetle angle of aspect ttom 150to get aspectual
value,
Rule 5. If the aspectualangle is between 150 and 180
degreesreduce I50 from aspectualangle and double the
resultantsum to get aspectualvalue.
Rule 6. When the aspectual
angleis above 180but below
300 degreesdeductthe aspectualangle from 300and halvethe
resultantsum, to get aspectualvalue.
Needless
to mentionthereis no aspectualvalueif the angle
is between300 and 30 degrees.
. For housein aspect,considerthe cusp of the hpuse, akin
to a planetary degree.
In the caseof aspectsfrom Saturn, Mars and Jupiter,the
following additionsmay be notedas a simple formula.
A) Mars : When the aspectangleis 9G120degreesor 210. 249degrees,
add 15 Virupasto the valueobtainedfrom
the speculum.

B) Jupiter : When theaspect anglc is 120-t50degreesor

.240-270 degrees incrcase the speculum valuc by 30
'
Virupas.
C) Saturn : When the aspect angle is 6G90 degreesor
270-300degrebsand 45 Virupas to the value obtained
from the speculum.
Without undergoing these ordeals, tbe studentcan eaeily
find out the Drishti valueson the above lines from the Speculum
of AspectualValuesgiven below :

2. Dig Bala (or directionalstrength)
3. Kala Bala (Temporal Strcngtb) inclusive of Ayana Bala
(or equinoctial strength)
4. CheshtaBala (or motional strength)

longitude. secondlyits debilitationpoint which is constant for
all horoscopos' The deep debiritationpoints of the 7 planets
are noted on pp 38-39supra.
For example,assumethe Sun's placement in a given case
is Pisces12" l5' (or 342" r5'). His deep debiritatiori point
is
'Libra

cxtreme.friend's Rasi 20 Virupas, friend's Rasi 15 Virupas,
neutral's Rasi l0 Virupas, enemy's Rasi 4 Virr:pas and in
extremeenemy'sRasi 2 Virupas. Slmilarly those values occur
for the other 6 divisional occupations,u'2. Hora, Decanate,
Saptamamsa.Navamm, Dvadasamsaand Trimsamsa. When all
th.c: are added togethr the planet'b SaptavargajaBala emerges.
Notes : Next step is to find out thc Saptavargajabala of a
planet. The tablesof varioue Vargasas well as the compound
relationshipsof the planets,are given in the previouspag.r. T.be
compound relationshipsof two given planets, vide p. i2 npra
(including Hora lordship etc.) be seen in thc Rasi chart only
and not in the concerned divisional chart. Then the strengths
in Virupas for oach of the Saptavargasbe found out and added,
which is then called saptavargajabala of the planet.

7-71. DTGBALA OR DTRECTTONAL STRENGTH :

Deduct the 4th house (i.e. Nadir) from the longitudesof
Sun and Mars; the ?th house (i.e. descendant)from that of
Jupiterand Mercury; tb 10thhouse(i.e. meridian)from that of
Venusand the Moon; and lastly the agcendantfrom that of
Saturn. If the sum is above 180 degreesdeduct the sum from
360. The sum arrived in either way be dividedby 3 which will
be thepigbala (or directionalstrength) of the planet.
, Notes : As seenearlier,Jupiter and MercuryhaveDigbata
ln the ascendant. Venusand the Moon have this bala in the
4th hquse(i e, Nadir), Saturn in tho descendantand the Sun and
Matq op the meridian. These strengthsare full on the cuspof
the respectivehouseand nil on the cusp of the oppositehouse.
Hence note down the longitude of.the concernedplanet and the
cuspal degree on which it is bereft of directional strength.
Deduct the latter from the former. If the product exceeds180'
deduct the same again from 360. The sum so arrived at be
{iviaed by 3, which will denote the Digbala of the planet in
Virupas. The directional strengthacquired by a planet when it
is oq its most, powerful point is I Rupa or 60 Virupas. For
exami,leSaturn exactly on the 7th cusp gets I Rupa, and exactly
on the ascending degree gets zero Virupa as directional
strength.

8.9, KAALA B.'LA OR TEMPORAL STRENGTH

(upto sloka 17) : Firstly NATHONNATHA BALA. Find out
the differencebetweenmidnight and apparent birth time which
is called Unnata. Deduct Unnata from 30 ghatis to obhin Nata
(rc). Double the Nata in ghatis which wilt indicate idcntical
Natha bala for the Moon, Mars and Saturn. Deduct the Natha
from 60 to know the Unnatha bala of the Sun, Jupiter and
Venus. Mercury, irrespective of day and night, gets full
NathonnathaBala (i.e. of I Rupa or 60 Virupas).
Notes : Kaala Bata (or temporal strength) comprises of
the following sub divisions:
l) NathonnathaBala (diurnal and nocturnal strengths).
2) PakshaBala (Paksha:fortnight).
3) Tribhaga Bala (strengthdue to day/nigbt bclqg'msdein
3 parts).
4') Varsha-Masa-Dina-Hora Bala (Varsha:astrological
year, Masa:month, Dina:week day and Hora:.
planetaryhour).
5) Ayana Bala (equinoctialstrenglh).
6) Yudhdha Bala (strengthdue to partaking in planetary
war).
Though Naisargikabala discussedin betweenin stota 14,
this is an independent sours .of strength without referenceto
Kala bala.

12. TRIBHAGA BALA .' One Rupa is obtained by

Mercury (if birth is) in the first one third part of day time,. by
thc Sun in the secondone third part of the day and by Saturn in
the last third part of the day. Similarly, the Moon, Venus and
Mars get full strength (of one Rupa) in the first, secondand
last one third parts of the night. Jupiter gets this strengthat
all times.

210

Brihat ParasaraHora Sastra

Notes : This strength goes to one planet only, as I rupa.

Jupiter, bowevef,gcts I Rupa irrespectiveof birth time.
Thc day duration or night duration according to birth
beingin day or night must be dividedby 3. With the follgwing
table, Tribhaga bala can be kaown, according to thc birth
being :
in lst patt of day:1 Rupa to Mercury
in 2nd part of day:1 Rupa to the Sun
in 3rd part of day:1 Rupa to Saturn
.
in lst part of night:l Rupa to the Moon
in 2nd part of nighl:1 Rupa to Venus
in 3rd part of night:l Rupa to Mars
at any time:l Rupa to Jupiter
.
Thus two planetswill get I Rupa of Tribhaga bala. ThBt
planet in
is I Rupa to Jppiter and I Rupa to the respective
whosepart the birth occurs. The other 5 planetsdo uot get aDy
Tribhaga bala.

I3. VARSHA-MAASA-DINA.HORABALA .. I5,.30, 45

and 60 Virupas are in order given to Varsha lord, Maasalord
Dina lord and Hora lord. Naisargikabala (or natural,strength)
hasalreadybeenexplained.
Notes : Under this hqadiiry, four different planets get
certainVirupas. Thesestrengthsare :
15 ViruPas
Varsha(Abda) lord :
Masa (nronth) lord = 30Virupas'
: 45 Virupas
Dina (day) lord
:
60 Virupas
Hora (hour) lord
How to decidethe saidlordshipsis explainedas under.
Varsha lord : Astrological year is different from othet
mcasures. The day on which the astrologicalyear begins can
be found out from the Speculum of abbreviatedAharganas,
vide p.272.To know the Varsbalord we shouldfirst ascertainthe
number of dayspast from thc beginning of Creation. This is a
very tedious process and hence we are concernedwith the
abbreviated Ahargana (or the number of days past from

Chapter 27

.'

271

Creation). According to late Rev. Ebenezer Burgess, who

translatedSurya Siddhantain Englisb, as on January l, 1g60,
the number of dlys past from the beginning of Creation are
714,404,108,573.
To know tho day on which the astrologicalyear in which
birth took placebeganadopt ihe following formula. Divide the
number of days past from the day of Crcation till the day of
birth by .60. Rejoot remainder and mulriply the qgotient by
3. Increascthe post-multiplied product by I and divide by 7.
The remainderwill indicatc the week day on which the astrological year giving birth to the native opened. Remainder I
indicatesSunday,2 Monday and so on and so forth.
Assumethat birth took place on June l, 1984. Locate
from the Speculum of Abbreviated Aharganasfor January O
date 1984as 65142. Add 153 being the numberof d4ysupto
the day of birth (inclusivc thc birth date). Thus we get abbreviated days past from crcation to birth as 65295. This product
ihen divided by 3CI yields a quotient of l8l. Ramaindcr is to
te rejected. l8I multiplied by 3 indicates543. Increasedby l,
this gives544. When 544 is divided by 7, thc remainderis 5.
That is, the astrological year of birth for one born on June l,
1984 began on a Thursday. Hence this strengthor Varsha
bala goesto Jupiter, the ruler of Thursday
Mgsa Iord ; Divide the same Ahargana by 30 and the
quotient (devoid of remainder) iodi*t"r' months passedfrom
Creationto birth. The completed months be multiplied by 2
gnd increasedby l. The Iatestsum should be divided by Z and
the remainder indicates on which the birth month began.
Continuing with the same case, we divide 65295 by 30.
Quotientis 2176. This sum multiplied by 2 and increasedby
4353. Dividing 4353 by 7, we get a remainderof 6
I .denots
denotingFriday. That is, the month of birth beganon Friday
and lhe Masa bala goesto Venus,the lord of Friday.
Dim 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 Ahargana followed
iscorrect or is otherwise. The number of tr,.ys as arrived above
indicating Ahargana be divided by 7 and the remainder will
indicate the week day of birtb. In the examplecase65295

Brihat ParasaraHora S.astra

272

dividedby ? leavesa remainder of 6. That is June 1,1984is

Friday. Hencethe Aharganafollowed by us is correct. While
consideringDina bala, the birth should be treated from sunris
to sunrise.
Hence in this case,the Dina bala goes to Venus,ruler of
ttto"t;oruBara
: Hora meansplanetaryhour. Eachday from
runriseto sunriseis divided into 24 equalparts of one hour or
2.5 ghatikas. TheseHoras are ruled by the 7 planetsfrom the
Sun to Saturn. The first Flora of the day is ruled by the lord
of the weekday. The 2nd one is ruled by the lord of the 6th
weekday countedfrom the first ruler. The 3rd Hora is ruled
by fte lord of tbe 6th week day countedfrom the 2nd Hora
lord. Similarly it proceedsin the same mannertill the first
Hora of the next day is taken over by the lord of that. day
himself. Whicheverplanet rules the birth Hora getsthe Hora
Bala. Horas are to be calculated for mean local time and ngt
standardtime of birth.
For easy ,referince, consult the Speculum of Horas

14. NAISARGIKA BALA (NATURAL STRENGTH) :
Divide one Rupa (or 60 Virupas)by 7 and multiply the resultant
product by I to 7 separatelywhich will indicate the Natural
Strengthdue to Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, the
Moon and the Sun, respectively.
Notes : As per the aboverule, the Naisargika Bala in
Rupas are indicated below so that the reader need not calculate

15-17AYANA BALA : 45, 33 and 12 are the Khandas

for calculatingAyana Bala. Add Ayanamsato the planet (for
which Ayana Bala is required)and find out the Bhuja (distance
from the nearestequinox). Add the figure correspondingto the
Rasi (of the Bhuja) to thc Bhuja. The degreesetc. of the Bhuja
to the
(devoidof Rasi)be multipliedby the figure corresponding
higher of the left out Khandas and divided by 30. Add the
resultant product to the sum obtained earlier. Convert this
into Rasi etc. lf the Moon and Saturn are in Libra or ahead
add to this 3 Rasis,and if in Aries to Virgo reducefrom 3 Rasis.
Similarly it is reversefor the Sun, Mars, Venusand Jupiter,(i.e.
additionor deductionir converse). For Mercury 3 Rasis are
alwaysadditive. The resultantsum in Rasi,degreesand minutes
be dividedby 3 to get the Ayaua Bala in Rupas'
Notes : Ayana Bala can be found out on the following
simple formula.
AyanaBala: 2t 27-!\r!anti X OO
-(23"27' plus or minusKranti) x 1.2793
The following points haveto be rememberedin respectof
of Krantis. when the Moon or SaturnhavesouthernKranti or
when the Sun,Mars, Jupiteror VenushaveNorthernKranti, take
plus. In a contrary situationin respectof these6 planets,take
minus. As far as Mercury is concerned' it is always plus
whetherhe has southern Kranti or Northern Kranti. Krantis
(or declinations)can be ascertained from standard modern
ephemeris.
The Sun'sAyana Bala is againmultiplied by 2 whereasfor
otherstheproductarrivedinVirupasisconsideredasitis.
The following speculumwill help the readerto easilywork
out the Ayana Bala,whenthe Kranti of a planetis known'

15-20.EFFECTSOF A BHAYA.' The strengthof a Bhava
and its lord have already been explained. The actual effects
will bc a combination of bhavastrengthand its lord's strength.
If there is a benefic in the bhavaadd the sarf,eto the auspicious
effectsand deduct from inauspiciouseffects, which will denote
the not auspiciousor'inauspiciouseffects. If a malefic is in the
bhava, reverse the process, i.e. add inauspicious effecte and
deduct auspiciouseffects. Similarly aspectsand etrengths. If a
planet is cxalted or with suc[ a dignity, add auspicious effects
and reduceinauspiciouseffects. For debilitatlon etc. it is convers. InAshtakaY4tg,add Bindus (auspiciouspoints) and
'deductKaranas (inauspiciouspoints). If a bhava extendsto two
Rasis,the rectification will be done as per both the lords. In
that casewhichever Rasi has more Bindus that Rasi will yield
more favourable results concerning that Bhava. If both the
Rasishave more auspiciousBindus take the average. Thus the
auspiciousand inauspiciouseffectsofa bhava be understood.

r-3. METHOD oF PADA (w\ CATcULATIONS : O

Brahmin, I shall now tell you about the Padas (or Arudhas)
for bhavasand planets as well, as laid down by the earlier
great sages. The Pada ofthe ascendantwill correspondto the
sign arrived at by counting so many signs from the ascendant
lord as he is away from the ascendant. Similarly Padasfor other
nousesbe known through their lords. The word "Pada" exclusively denotesthe Padafor ascendant(or Lagna Pada).
Notes : Maharshi Jaimini (author of Poon"a Mimamsa)
extensivelydealtwith this systemof astrologyasgiven in ch. 2933 hereof. Though sageParasarahas originally sown seeds,later
on Jaimini delved deepand located many pearlsout of his great
wisdom and intuition. Thus it has become to be known more
by the nameJaimini astrologyrather than Parasari.
To work out the Padasetc' enunciatedin these chapters,
we shall considera nativity as indicated below calling it th.e
standardnativitY.

Count so many signs from the lord in question. The sign so
arrived will be the Arudha for the sign under consideration.
In the standardnativity, Scorpio is the ascendantand its
lord Mars is 9 signsaway from the ascendantand is iri Canccr.

lili:
Insteadof trcating sagittariusas the Arudha, we
count l0 signs
from sagittariusand reach virgo. Thus virgo is the paaaili
Jupiter having bcen in Sagittarius.
2. If the lord of b_hava

tlme beingthe zth itserf becomesArubha. Instead

3. If the lord of a bhava is in the 4th from the bhava, no

"
countingis required. The houseoccupiedby the lord itself (i.e,
4th from the bhava) is the Arudha. For example, Leo ascendant havingthe Sun is the 4th sign in ScorpiogetsScorpioitself
as Arudha Lagna.

6-7. PADAS FOR PLANTES : Note the posirion o f a
planetand seehow many signsaway is its own sign with referenceto its position. Count so many sign from the said own
sign and the resultant slgn will become the Arudha of the
planets. lf a planet owns two Rasisor if a Rasi is ownedby two
planets,considerthe strongerand declareeffectsaccordingly.
'
Mtes : Here we are taught of what can be called as
Graharudhaor planet'sArudha. From a perusalof the above
verses, we can take it to mean that there are 9 planetary
Arudhas. Sincethe sageuses"Rasi ownedby two planets" he
obviouslyhints at co-rulershipof Rahu and Ketu. Rahu is a
co-rulerof Aquariuswhile Ketu shares ownership of Scorpio
(Vide sloka 157, ch. 46 infra).
Assumethat the Sun is in Capricorn. Counting from Caprigorn to Leo we get 8 signs. Again from Leo we count 8 signs
and reach Pisces which is the Arudba for the Sun. The exceptions statedfor Bhavarudhasdo not apply to Graharudhas.
In caseof other 5 planets(Mars to Saturn) each owns two
signs. Then the counting of planet's Arudha in such a caseis
with referenceto the strongerofthe two signs. For deciding
strengthsof signsand planetsone has to usehis wise judgement
apart from consultinghintsgiven in ch. 46. However,we do not
haveany authenticinformaticn availableas to how to useGraharudhas. Either we haveto work on bxperienceor keepsilent on
this issue. The literature available on Jaimini system being
limited nothing more can be said about this.

upa Padais also called Gaunapada.o excellentof the Brahmias,

if Upa Padais conjunctor aspectedby a beneficplanet,one wili

obtain full happinessfrom progeny and spouse. Should the
Upa padabe in a malefic's sign or iq aspectedby or.. is conand go withjunct

Notes : RegardingUpa pada calculations,therc are more

7.12. EFFECT OF 2ND FROM UPA PADA .. If thc 2Nd

from Upa pada is a beneficsign or is aspectedby or conjunctwith
a benefic,the samegood results(as for wife and sons)will comc
to pass. If there be a planet in the 2nd from Upa pada in
debilitation sign/Amsaor be conjunct with a debilitatedlmalefic
planet, there will be destructionof wife. If the said occtrpant
be in exaltationsign/Navamsaor be aspectedby another planct,
therewill be many charmingand virtuouswives. O Brahmin, if
Gemini happensto be the 2nd from Upa pada, then also thcre
will be many wives. O excellint of the Brahmins, if the Uparudha or the 2nd therefrom be occupiedby its own lord or
if the saidlord is in his other own house,the deathof wife will
be at an advancedage.
Notes : In the examplecase,the Upa pada is in Aquarius,
a malefic'ssign and is powprfully aspectedby malefic Mars and
is without benefic'saspect. However, thc 2nd from Upa pada is
well fortified as its lord Jupiter is exalted and aspects the said
2nd house. Hence the native is happily married and endowed
with progenichappiness.
Loss of wife is to be expcctedif thc 2nd from Upa pada is
occupiedby a debilitated planet, or the occupantof the aaid 2nd
is in debilitation Navamsa,or is conjunct a debilitatedplanet (i.e.
a baneficdebilitatedjoining a maleficin the 2ird from Upa pada)
or a beneficjoining a maleficin said 2nd house.
Taurus becomingthe Upa pada is said to givc many wives
or plurality of marriage.
Although there may be combinations for early loss of
spouseif the 2nd lord from Uparudha(or Upapada)is in the 2nd
itself or is in his other sign, it.will considerablyprototthe native
from sucha calamity. And the spouseas a resultwill live udto
an advancedage.

a latcr stage. If the lord of Upaoadaor the constantsignificator of wife is in exaltation,the wife will be from a noble family;
reversewill be the case,if he is debilitated. O Brahmin, if the

As far as the nodesare concerDedthese are calculated in a

reverse order contains Sun-Mercury causing Argala to Rahu
which is, however,obstructcdby Mars in the l2th from Rahu
(counted in reverse manner), similarly in all cases these be
properly understood.

In cbart l, Saturnand the the Sun are in mutual angles

from the ascendantand in their own signs. Hencethey will act

In chart 2, Mars and the Sunare in mutual angles from
but do not possesany dignity like exaltation' or

In chart 3, both Jupiter and Saturnare not angtlar from
but are investedrvith exaltationpositions. Hence
the ascendant
both the planetswill mutually representand becomefavourable
in their Dasaperiods. Also, seethe chart of Sri Morarji Desai
under sloka 110,ch. 24 in which Jupiter, Saturnand Mars play
as mutualco-workers.
It is specificallystatedthat the lOth housepositionfor one

Sun will exceedinglyrevealbeneficialresults.Devoid of Saturnor
any other co-worker,the Sun in the lOth will not be that powerful. In other words, by virtue of co'workership,the Sun's role

Thereare someschoolsof thought which do not consider

2.7. NATURE DUE TO LORDSHIPS OF PLANETS :
Beneficsowningangleswill not give beneficefrectswhile malefics
owning angleswill not remain inauspicious, The lord of a trine
will giveauspiciousresults.The lord of the ascendant
is specially
auspiciousas the ascendantis an angleas well as trine. The 5th,
and 9th housesare specially for wealth while the 7th and toth
are speciallyfor happiness.Any planetowning the 3rd, 6th, or
the llth willgive evil effects.The effectsdue to the lords of the
l2th, and 8th will dependon their association.In eachgroup,
will be in' the ascendingorder. The 8th lord is
the significance
not auspiciousas he owns the l2th from the 9th. If the lord of
the 8th simultaneously
ownsthe 3rd,7th or llth, he will prove
specificallyharmful while his simultaneousownershipof a trine
will bestowauspiciouseffects.The planet owning a predominant
housewill stall the effects due to another owning a lesssignificant houseand will give his own results.The 8th lordship of
the Sun and the Moon is not evil.
Notes : The rules given in this part will help us to decide
the gcod and bad planetsfor eachascendantbasedon lordships.
A summary of these rules is given below to enable use of
suitableapplicationof lordships.
l. Kcnrlradhipatya
Dosha: This blemishgoesto naturalbenefics by virtue of angularlordship. For example,for Gemini ascen

342

Drihat ParasaraHora Sasffa

dant the ownershipof4th and 7th goesto Jupiterand hence he

is not a beneficfor this ascendant.Lagna lord owning an angle
i.e.4thl7thll0th,shallnot proveinauspicious.
(Even if he owns
an evil house,he is not classified
as a malefic.) Natural benefics
are increasingMoon, Mercury,Jupiterand Venus.T'heirangular
lordsbip blemish will be in the ascendingorder. That is the
Moon is the leastmaleficaod Venus is the mostmaleficby such
ownership.
2. Maleffc as ownerof angle: If a maleficownsan angle
he will not be inauspicious. This doesnot meanthat tre wrtt
becomeauspicious.(ThesaBehas cautiously worded his verse.)
To be auspiciousby virtueof angularrordship,the maleficshouri
simultaneously
own a trine. If he doesnot own a trine, he will
be neutral by mere angular lordship;ncither he will be disadvantageous.
For Libra ascendant.
Satrunis classified
as unsullied
yogakarakabecausehe owns the 4th (an angle)and the 5th (a
trine).The Sun's benelicencero Taurus asccndantcannot be
comparedto Saturn's for Libra, becausethe Sun hasonly one
-Mars
housewhich is angularto the ascendant.For Leo ascendar,t
becomesa top rank beneficas he owns an angle(4th) and a trine
(9th). similarly for cancer ascendant.
The sameMars for capricorn asccndant
by virtue-ofangularlordshipis not that,up.iio,
he doesnot simultaneously
because
own a trine. Sirnilarlyhis rote
for Aquariusascendant.weak Moon by virtue of angularlordship remainsjust neutral.
3. Primarilywearth-givers
are the rordsof 5th and 9th. The
lords of 7th and lfth contribute to one's happinerr.pact oi
them should be individuarlywertdisposed.
Trinar lordship to
Jupiterwill enablehim give wearthabundantryand uninteiruptedly. . venus becoming rord of 7th or l0rh wil give generar
ifthe occupiesan angleor a trine.
happiness
4. Lords of 3rd, 6th and llth are classifiedas evil planets
while the lords of 2nd, l2th and 8th wifi act accordingto association. If these lords simultaneousryown such another
house,they will be significantlyharmful. If sucha planet simultaneouslyownsa trine he will befavourable.For example,Jupiter
is doubly evil for Libra ascendantas he ownsthe 3id and 6th.
saturn,though owning the 8th, will be favourabrefor a Gemini
nativityas he is the lord of the 9th as wcll. In consideringtwo

Chapter 34

34?

lordships in any context, the Moolatrikona house has prime

importanceas againstthe other ordinary house. The Moolatrikona lordship will reveal itself effectively rather than the other
own house.
5. When twc planets are involved in a context,.the one
with good lordshipwill stall the evil effects of anothcr planet
owning a lesspowerful house.To wit, if the 9th lord and the 8th
lord are both involvedin a yoga, the 9th lord will give his good
effectsobstructingthe evils due to the 8th lord.
6. We havethe following two setsof good houses,(a) lst,
4th, 7th and the l0th. (b) 5th and 9th. In eachgroupthe benefic
dispositionwill ascendfrom house to house. That is, Zth lord
is more powerfulthan the 4th. The 9th lord is so as against the
5th lord
7. Similarly two setsof evil housesare before us; (a) 3rd,
6rh and llth. (b) l2th, 2nd and 8th. Here againthe .maleficence
order. To wit, the llth lord is the
wilt move inthe ascending
mostevil in his group whilethc 8th lord is so in his group.
8. The summary of points 6 and 7 is : the l0th and 9th
lords are the highestbeneficplanetswhile the I lth and 8th loras
are the mostadlerse.Thus,the lOth lord'scounterpart
is the I lth
lord and the 9rh lord's counterpartis the 8th lord. (lf we consihe getsone best house and one
der Saturnfor Aries ascendant,
worst house,i.e. the lOth and llth houses.
The I tth housebeing
bis Moolatrikona,hc is predominantlythe I lth lord ratherthan
the l0th lord and hencevery evil. Similarly his role for Cemini
ascendantin which casethe 9th lordship prevailsover his 8th
lordship aud so he is not cvil but favourable.)
9. The rolesof variousplanetsare generallybasedon these
groundsand what we have had so far is a rough frame-work.
However,no decisionshouldbe takenat one single point. For
actual picture,the sageclassifiesthe planetsfurther in the succeeding verses.
10. As far as Rahu and Ketu are conccrned,they act
accordingto their position,associationand dispositors,ride verse

the effectsasdue to their conjunction with a house lord or as

Notes : As alreadystated,Rahu owns Aquariusand Ketu
Scorpio. Still they do not havea dispositionof their own in
the matter of giving particularefferts. (ln poiut of fact, these
ownershipsare for calculationof someof 'Jaimni' dasasetc.and
not in a commoncontext.) Inasmuchas they do not have a
sign of their own, they havealsonot beenspecificallyclassified
as maleficor beneficfor the variousascendants
as could be seen
from the rules enunciatedby sage Parasarain the current
chapter. Henccit is suggested
that the results to be given by
Rahu and Ketu will dcpendon theirassociation
with otherlords
and occupationof houses. So to say,if thcy are relatedto good
lords they will revealeffectsfavourableto the native, otherwise
not, Alternativelythey should be in favourable houseslike
angle,trine etc. so that good effcctsfollow their position.

listento thesewith examples. Even though Mars is the lord of
the 8th, be will be helplul to (other)auspiciousplanets. Saturn,
Mercury and Venus are malefics. Auspiciousare Jupiter and
the Sun. The mereconjunctionof Saturnand Jupiter will not
produceauspiciouseffects(althoughthey own a trine and angle).
If Jupiter is at the disposalof a malefic, he will surely give
inauspiciousresults. Venusis a direct (or independent)killer.
saturn etc. will also inflict deathif associatedwith an adVerse
planet(i.e. Venus). That is how the effectswiil be derived by
an Aries native.
Notes: For Aries ascendantMars is the ruler of the lst and
the 8th. The ascendantis his Mooratrikona sign while the gth

As rcgardsother unsullied beneficplanetsfor this ascendant

we have only two. These are Jupiter and the Sun. Even if
Jupiter is capturedby anotheradversary,his gocidresultswill be
stalled. Saturn,Mercury and Vcnusare maleficsand will cause
harm. Venuswill provea killer as he is the 2nd and 7th lord.
Saturn and Mercury will also inflict deathif relatedto Venus.
The Moon's role is not discussedby the sage. The Moon will
give mixed results according to associationetc. as she is an
angularruler.
An associationbetween Jupiter-Sun, Jupiter-Mars or
Mars-Sunwilt be highly favourablefor the ascendantin question.
Jupiter-Saturnassociationwill not proveto be helpful although
they own the 9th and t0th. It is because,Saturnis llth lo;d

23-24.FOR TAURAS ASCENDANT : Jupiter, Venus

and the Moon are malefics. Saturnand the Sun are auspicious.
Saturn will causeRajayoga. Mercury is somewhatauspicious,
Jupiter etc.and Mars will inflict death. Thesehints are for a
Taurusnative.
Notes : Jupiter is a maleficfor Taurusascendautand will
avail of the first opportunity to inflict harm as he ownsthe gth
and llth housesboth of which are evil. He is the first-rate
adversary. The Moon being the 3rd lord is not auspicious.
Venus is also classifiedhere as an evil planetand a maraka
planet, The words ,,frqtEq]" (Jeevadayo)indicate the Jupiter
group, i.e. Jupiter, the Moon and Venus. Accordingto the
following words of Susloka Sataka-qq1 sE.T*s) ;f qqqlfq il
Scorpio ascendantthere is no blemish (to ivlars)of
*vrrrq-for
the 6th lordship and also for Taurus ascendant(in the caseof
Venus). Sale Parasara apparently took into serious consideration the 6th lordship (Moolatrikona) of Venusand calssified
him as an adversary. Though there are somemore exponents
to favour Susloka Sataka's line of thinking, Parasarabeingan

undisputed authority should be given more weight. The Sun

and Saturnare beriefics. Saturn owns thc bcst trine and best
angleand hencehc will bestorvkingly statuson the native. The
. Sun though a maiefic by virtue of owning an angleproves
auspicious. The rule that a malefic owning an angleshould
own a trine also,so that he becomesa Yogakaraka(vide sloka
14 supra) is naturally not applicablc to the luminaries as
they own only one sign each. As regardsthe role of Mercury,
and he is not
. he is only of mixed nature for Taurus ascendant
an excellent benefic by virtue of orvning a Maraka house in
addition to a trine. The 5th is his Mqolatrikonaand exaltation
sign, If Mercuryjoins Saturn/Sun,he will act more effectively.
Mars is classifiedas a killer apart from Jupiter,Venusand
the L{oon. Mars is a killer for he owns the 7th and l2th. The
role of Jupiter and Venus as killers is also understandable.
Though the Moon is said to be a killer, she cannot inde. pendentlydo so for sheis only the 3rd lord which is the least
maleficamong 3rd, 6th and I lth. The luminariesare considered
not inauspiciouseven by ownership of the 8th house;as such
the 3rd house lordshsp of the Moon in the caseof Taurus be
lenientlyviewedfrom the point of wiew of inflictingdeath. Her
connectionswith Jupiter, or Mars can empower her to inflict
deathon the Taurusnative.

25-26. FOR GEMINI ASCENDANI : Mars, Jupiter and
the Sun are malefics while Venusis the only auspiciousplanet.
The conjunction of Jupiter and saturn is similar to that for
Aries ascendant. The Moon is the prime killer, but it is
dependanton her association. Thus have beenexplainedby
the scholarsthe effectsfor Gemini ascendant.
Notes : The three planets,viz. Jupiter, the Sun and Mars
are adversefor Gemini ascendant. There is no hint on saturn's
role exceptthat Saturn-Jupiterconjunctiondoesnot yield a yoga
just as it does not do so for an Aries native. saturn

8th and the 9th while the 9th is his Moolatrikona. Jupiterowns
thc 7th and l0th. It is my personalfeeling that an exchange
between Saturn and Jupiter in the 9th and l0th or their placement in conjunction in the 9th/lOth, or Saturn in the 9th as
Jupiter is in the l0 will provea very favourablepoint. (This
line of thinking cannot be extendedto Aries ascenclant,
i.e.
exchangebetween 9th and l0th lords & C for Jupiterwill be
in fall in the l0th in a key house.)
For Gemini ascendant,Mars ownstwo evil houses,the 6th
llth
and hencg he is a malefic. The Sun owningthe 3rd
end
will not be helpful.
Venus, the lord of the 5th and l2th, is declaredto be
higt ly favourable, as the 5th is his Moolatrikona. In view of
the friendship between Venus and Mercury, the l2th lordship
of Venus is not seriously consideredadverse. On the same
lines,Mercury for Libra ascendant is consideredfavourable
although he owns the l2th, which is his Moolatrikonaand
exaltation-thus a predominant house.

27-28. CANCER ASCENDANT : Venus and Mercury

are malefics,Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are auspicious.Mars
is capableof conferringa full-fledgedyoga and giving auspicious
effects. Saturnand the Sun are killers and give effectsaccording
to association.. Theseare Cancerascendant'seffects.
Notes : The role of the Sun is comparedto that of Saturn
a
killer.
The Sun is the lord of tbe 2nd and Saturnrulesthe
as
7th and 8th for Cancer ascendant. Both the housesof Saturn
are inauspiciousand hencehe is classifiedas a killer. However,
they are not independently capable of doing bad or good but
act as per their relationshipwith others.
Venus is inauspicious by virtue of angular lordship
(4th house-Moolatrikona) and the llth lordship. (The llth
lord for a movablesign is a malefic, i.e. Saturn for Aries,
Venus for Cancer, the Sun for Libra and Mars for Capricorn

Chapter 34

351

ascendants.)Thus Venus gets a dual role to do evil lor a

Cancer native. The 3rd and l2th lordship of Mercury will
inflict harm and hencehe is inauspicious.
The best planet for this ascendantis Mars as he owns a
trine as well as an angle. The l0th lordshipwill prevail much
more favourably as the l0th is the best of the 4 anglesand
Aries is the Moolatrikona sign of Mars. The other two
favourable planets are Jupiter and the Moon. Jupiter is the
lord of the 6th and 9th. Though 6th is his Moolatrikona,the
sagehasgiven preferenceto the 9th lordship for obviouslytwo
reasons: firstly the 9th is bestof the two trinesand Jupiteris
a close friend of the Moon, the ascendantlord. The 3rd
favourableplanet is the Moon who is the ascendantlord. The
order of preferenceis Mars, Jupiterand the lvloon, i.e. benefic
tendencywill descendfrom one to another and hencethe Moon
is the leastbenefic. If Mars is well relatedto Jupiter,the Moon
or to the Sun, he can do wondersfor a Cancernative. The best
place as far as Saturn is concernedis Capricorn in the company
of Mars or the Moon.

29-30. LEO ASCENDAI{I .. Mercury, Venusand Saturn
are malefics.Auspicious effects will be givin by Mars, Jupiter
andthe Sun. The conjunctionofJupiterand Venus(though
Kendra Kona lords) will not produce auspiciousresults.Saturn
and the Moon are killers who will give effectsaccording to
sssociation. Theseare the effectsapplicableto Leo ascendant.
Notes : Just as the Sun is noted as a killer for Cancer
ascendant,the Moon is similarly classifiedas a killer for Leo
ascendantas she is the lord of the l2th house. This killer-role
has not barred the Moon from becominga Yogakarakaor an
auspiciousplanet for Leo ascendant as per our experience.
Saturn's adverse role is becauseof two plime reasons*firstly
he is a sworn enemy of the ascendantlord and secondlyhe is the
7th lord apart from being the 6th lord. Mercury's rolc is

352

The conjunction of Venus and Mercury will produceyoga.
Venus is a killer as well. The Sun,srole will dependon [i,
association. Theseeffectsare for Virgo ascendant..
Notes : Mercury ruling the ascendantand the l0th house
and Venus lording over the 2nd and 9th are classified as
favourableplanets. venus by virtue of owningthe 2nd wilr
act as a killer also. (Mars ruling the gth can arsoa"t ar killer.)
" Moon

is the llth lord. For these reasons.thesetwo are considered
inauspicious. The Sun will be good if he joins good planets
in good bouses,for example in the l0th along *ith tut.r"ury.
There is no hint in the text about Saturn'srole. By virtue of
the 5th lordshipand good relationship with the ascendant
lord
Mercury, he will prove auspicious, But the staindue to 6th
Iordshipwill causea changein his dispositionand he cannotbe
countedas an invariable dependent.

Jupiter and other malefics will also acquirea' dispositionto

Notes : Although Venusis the ruler of the asiendant,he
owns 8th as well, and hence the sage term him as neutral,
Dire malefic is Jupiter, the lord of the 3rd and the 6th. The
ruler of the 2nd aud the 7th, Mars, is equally inauspicious
while the Sun ruling the I lth "vill act as an obstructingforce.
Thesethree planets, viz. Jupiter, Mars and the Sun are morc
maleficif mutually related but unrglatedto Saturn,Mercury or
the Moon. On the other hand, Mars or the Suo will act as
primary beneficsif they join Saturn,Mercury or Venusaccording

Venuscan also becomea killer (if relatedto Saturn). Though
Mercury rules two angres-the 7th and rOth-he-is decrarid
auspicious whereasfor virgo ascendantas welr as Gemini

supreme
role of Mercury is possiblybecause
of his ownershipof th; lOth

ownership)whereasJupiter doesnot own Moolatrikona identical
with the l0th house:best of the angles_for an ascendantruled

venus is the rord of the 4th and the gth. As the gth is the best

The
Sun is termed as a killer as he rules the ith, a marakahouse.
(Saturnplaysa similar rol for Leo ascendant
owning the ?th
in Moolatrikona). Jupiter ruring the 2nd and Mars orining the

order. A strong relationship betweentwo or all of thesethree
killers will affect the rongevity to declineseverely. Mercury

.of the Nabhasa Yogas), his original malefic tendencyof being
an adverseplanet for a particular ascendant,he will give ihe
cftectsof Daamini yoga and thus will becomea Rajayogakaraka.
Conversely,although a planet assumesgoodrole by lordship,
if he is involvedin a bad yoga,like, say, Sarpayoga(one ofthc
Nabhasayogasagain) there will only be adverseresultsand not
favourable results due to lordship. These causesshould be
properly estimated and effects denoted suitably. A killer is a
killer irrespectiveof his havi'ng becomea Rajayogakarakaor so.
Killer and Yogakaraka should not be mixed togetherin respect
of ono and the sameplanet.

will do sinful acts and will enjoy (or swall,ow)others,
wealth.
Notes : Subhayogais of two kinds. It canbe formed by
a singlebeneficin the. ascendant. It can arsoue rormeo by-a
beneficin the 2nd and by another simurtancousry
in tne ritrr.
obviously the latter subha yoga is still superior. (Needless
to
mentiontbat if the ascendant;2nd and r2th are ,simurtaneously
occupiedby 3 benefics,eventhen Subha yoga of u u.ry gr.ui
order is established.) This yogagivesphysicarbeauty, exce'itent
virtues and eloquent disposition. Though the teit does not
mention, additional
_effects

longevity,fame etc Theseadditionaleffectswill not rurrv .uiuri

A malefic or malefics in these pl{ces will produce
AsubhaYoga or inauspiciousyoga. Each yoga is ln.r.uriini"
malefic. As a result,thc subjectwiil be lipldinous, will indrilge
in unethical and sinful deeds and be 6apableof bracketin-g
others' possessions.While a single malefic may not give sJ
bad results,two or three in suchpositionswilr indeedpioduce
most unfavourableresults,apart from affectinghealth, longevity
etc. adversely.
Needlessto mention that in analysingthe results due to
good or bad combinations,one should take the planet's dignity,
strength, relations with other planets and m"ny ru"tr ottrer
factors into consideration. A mareficyoga can be nuilified by
other compensatingfactors while a good yoga may not be
productiveofexpectedgood results when involved in adverse
circumstances.For example, assume that for an Aquarius
Mercuryis in the 2nd housewhile Jupiteris in the l2th house.It
will be detrimentalto rush to the conclusionthat the ascendant
is surroundedby two benefics,and that subha yoga results will
improve the native. Conversely,this is worse than a typical
AsubhaYoga.
Again take Asubha yoga. Assume Virgo rises .while
saturn is in exaltationin the 2nd and the Sun is in Leo in

Referringto JatakaParijata,thereare two kinds of Gaja

be
lype of vogi. Second alternative is : The Moon should

or

Chapter36

369

Kumara Swameeyin a popular Tamit classicnas this yoga

stati'g that the Moon shouldbe increasing(i.e. waxind wbile
Jupiter shouldbe in the 4th or io the l0th from the said Moon.
This comesto pass when a constituent is iu Taurus, pisces,
Aquarius or Sagittarius. To wit, Gaja Kesari yoga is applicable
to only four placements That is, Jupiter shourdbe in Aluarius
while the Moon is in Taurus, or vice versa. Alternativeiy the
Moon shoud be in sagittarius whire Jupiter is in pisces, oi vice
versa. Please note that even cancer is omitted which is
exaltation sign for Jupiter and own sign for the Moon.- In
making such a specific statement, the author of Kumrn
swrmeeyrm must obviousry have possessedan unporailelcd
authority.
Then we come to the Tamil tranelation of krasara Hora
by C.G. Rajan. His version statesthat the Moon and Jupi-ter
should be in mutual angles, but thc Moon should not Lve
Mercury in the 5th from her, nor should she be in aspectto
Mercury so that the Yoga obtainedis not simultaneouslygivcn
annulment. Further the Moon should be free fro.. combwbt
and debilitation.
The sanskrit edition of parasaraHora of sri venkatesu.ra
Press,Bombay,has it in sucha manner making it clear that
Vaidyanatha of Jataka par[iata did take these verses from
Parasara. (In fact many of the Raja yogas given in our current
chapter have been used by other workg like phala Deepika,
Kumara Swameeyam,Sata yoga Manjari, Jataka parijata etc)-.
Coming back to Gaja Kesari yoga given by the Bombay series,
we find that the Jupiter-Moon mutual angularity finds place in
the first kind of yoga as given by vaidyanatha white thi second
versionof vaidyanatha occursin the Bombayseriesin a different
guise. It is statedthere that Mercury aspecting or joining the
Moon, not placedin debilitation nor.being combust causesthie
yoga. In the secondyoga, Venusand Jupiter are not riven any
place.
However, the two yogasgiven by Vaidyanathaare exactly
,
identical with the onesgiven in parasara Hora of rhakur prasad
PustakaBhandaredition from Varanasi.
The Chaukambhaedition doesnot differ from our version.

370

Brlhat Parasara Hora Sastra

Thus; I have placedall the different versions of Gaja

Kesari Yoga before the reader. Though the name doesnot
deserve any special considerationas for Gaja Kesari yoga, I
would give less importance to the mere angular positionsof
Jupitcr-Moon. From otherformations,we may understandthat
Raja Yoga resul8 will prcvail in tbe following conditions in a
descendiogordor.
l. As given in Kumarr Swameeyam.
2. As given in Chaukambhaedition and our edition.
3. The secondkind of yoga given by Jataka Parijata.
4. The second kind of yoga given by Bombayedition of
ParasaraHora.
But, we do not understandthe basis of C.G. Rajan why
Mercury should not aspectthe Moon or be in the 5th from her.
Contrarily when Jupiter and the MooD are in mutual angles,
Mercury in the 5th from the Moon will be an impetus to
GaF Kcsari rather than becomingan impediment.
Cnja Kesari yoga formed in any of the four manners

5-6. AMALA YOGA .. If there be exclusivelya beneficin

Amala yoga will confer fame lastingtill the moon aod starsexist

pleasures,be charitable; fond of relafives, helpful to others,
pious ano virtuous.
Notes : The l0th house from the Moon or from the
acccndant should coDtain c benefic and be without a malefic
occupation. I{a maleficjoins inthe l0th simultaneously,the
cficacy of the yoga will be void. A pure Amala Yoga gives

7-8. PARVATA YOGA .' Beneficsin angles will produce
Parvatha loga, as the 7th and 8th are vacant or are occupied by
only benehcs. One born in Parvatha yoga will be wealthy,
cloqucnt, charitable,learnedin Sastras,fond of mirtb, famous,
splendorousand be the leaderofa city.
Notes : This yoga is formed at leastin many ways accord;
ing to different cla$ical authors.
l. According to our version, there need be beneficsin
angleswhile the ?th and 8th are unoccupiedor bc in oocupation
by bencfie alonc. Then the yoge formed is known as Parvataa
yogE.
2. The Tamll edition of ParasaraHora (translatedby C.G.
Rajan) has this yoge in two manners : That is, Beneficsin
angles aod 6th and tth. Alternatively beneficsehould be in
anglesand 9th.
3. Thc Sanskrit edition of Sri VenkateswaraPressgivesthis
yoga apin in two forms thus ; (l) As per our version. (2) The
lords of thc ascendantand of the l2th in mutual angles and be
aspectedby friendly Planets. Thesetwo are exactly followed by
Sata Yoga Manjari (English translation by Prof. B. S' Rao).
4. Whereas the Sanskrit text of Sata Manjari Raja yoga
(Hindi translation by Pt' G.K. Ojha) puts it thus : The
dispositorof ascendantlord should be in his own sign or in his
Mootatrikma sign which is identicalwith an aogle or a trine
reckoned from thc asccndant. Phele Deepila exactly describes
this yoga in this very manner
5. Coming to Jateledesa Mlrgl, we find yet another
versiontbus : If the ascendant,4th, ?th and l0th are occupied
by planetswhile the 8th and l2th are unoccupied,Parvata Yoga
oocurs. There is no mention of beneficsor maleficsin angles.
That ig thesehousesshouldremain occupied. Horasara(p. 233)
hasan identical version.
6. Chaukambtiacdilion hasit as given by C G. Rajan's
first mentioned yoga.
7. The edition ofThakur PrasadPustak Bhandardescribes
tbis yoga as per our version.

n3

Clapter 36

8, Now see Jataka Fari$ts. It hss againtwo forus of

this Yoga. The first one is formed in a manner identical with
one mentioned in the Tamil version of Parasara Hora- The
second type is formed as per the second yop related to tsombay
seriesof ParasaraHora. However, the Tamil version of Jrtrlr
Perijtta (1926 edition by SastraSanieevani Press) bas it as our
reit has.
9. A version of Yavanas forms this yoga thus : The
ascendant,7th and l0th be occupied by benefics. So simplc and
no more pre-requisites. Note the 4th smong anglesis omitted
by Yavanas. Thus therc are 8o Inany varieties of Parvata Yoga.
When we consider the version given in our text, the
nraturity of this yoga will bc during the Dasa periods of the
beneficsin the angles.

9-lO. KAHALA YOGA .' Should the 4th lord and Jupiter
be in mutual angleswhile the ascendantlord is strong, Kahala
yoga occurs. Alternatively the 4th lord being in his own or
' exaltation sign should be conjunct the lOth lord. In efrect, the
native will be energetic,adeventurous,cunning, endowed with a
.complete army consisting of chariots, elephants, horses and
infantry and will lord over a few villages.
Notes : This yoga is given identically in the other three
versionsof Parasara Hora, yiz. Venkateswara,Chaukamba
and Thakur Prasadeditions. Still others define this in difrerent
ways.
l. The first type of Kahala Yoga according to the Tamil
yersiontraoslatedby C.G. Rajan is formed when the iords of
the ninth and fourth are in mutual anglesas the ascendantlord
is endowedwith strength. The secondtype of yoga mentioned
by him is formed if the 4th lord is in his own signor in exaltation
in conjunction with or in aspectto the l0th lord. The aspoctof
the l0th lord is an addition in the Tamil version whereasin our
version only a conjunction is noted. The native being foolish is

374

Brihat ParasaraHora Saslra

mentionedin the Tamil issue and Bombay issue, when giving

effoctsof Kahala Yoga.
2. Mantreswarahas it entirely differently thus : The
dispositorof ascendantlord's dispositorshouldbe in exaltation
or own sign identical with a trine or angle reckonedfrom the
ascendant. The effects mentioned are : prosperity, nobility,
and kindness.
benevolence
auspiciousness,
3. Jetakadsa Merga mentions it in the same way as per
C. G. Rajan's first type of yoga. Jataka Parijata follows
JetakadesaMarga while it adds the secondversionof Kahala
Yoga given by our text.

eloquentand versedin all arts.
Notes : While most texts are identical with our versioD,
Pbah Deepikr puts it in a different way, viz. the ascendantbe
occupied by a benefic while the ascendant lord is in a good
houscor in exaltation. The cffects attributed by Mantreswara
are : long life, prosperinglike increasingMoon, fame,virtue and
leadership. These are comparable[to what is generallystated'
for ChamaraYoga.

be equalto lord Devendra(the god of gods).
Notes : For Sagittarius ascendant, this yoga is simply
formed if the Sun and Mercury are ln the l0th in Virgo. But
it is to be ensuredthat Mercury is in the first half of Virgo.

ln effect, the native will be an astrologer, be a synonymof
kiodness,be virtuous, strong, beautiful, famous,learnedand
pious.
Notec : While our vcrsion and that of Chaukambha
mcnlion that the ascendantand the 9th be occupiedby bencfic
planetr, the versionsofSri VenkateswaraPress,Thakur Prasad
PustakaBhandar and C. G. Rajan stipulate that maleficsand
not benefics should bc in the ascendantand the 9th. Jrtatr
PrrlStr has tbe sameview as given by the latter group requiring
nrlcfics in the 9th and in the ascendant.
That it is bcnefics that should be in the ascendantand the
9th is obviouslycorrect as three groups are selectedby parasaa
forthis yoga, thus : Benefics in the first group, rnatefics in the
secondgroup and both (i.e. mixed) in the 3rd group.

35-36. TRIMURTHI YOGAS.. Counted from the 2nd
lord if benefics occupy the 2nd, l2th and 8th, Hari yop ie
formed. If the 4rh, 9th and 8rh with reference to itre-eign
occupicd by the 7rh lord are occupied by bcneficr, Hara
yoga is obtainable. Brahma yoga is generatedif, counted from
the ascendant lord, beneficsarein the 4th, lOth and lith
signs.One born in anyone of the said three yogaswill be happy,
lcarned and endowed with wealthand sons.
.Notes: There areactually three different yogasgivenin
the present two verses. These are Hari Yoga, Hara yoga
and Brahma Yoga. This representsthe trinity of Hindu Gods
and hence is known as Trimurthi yogasjointly. Someinterpret
this as one yoga knowing it as 'Hariharabrahmayoga' which
is howeverincorrect.
For formation of Hari Yoga the 2nd lord's position is
to be noted firstly. From the said position of thc 2nd lord,
eachofthe 2nd, l2th and 8th be occupiedby beneficsindividually. Seethe chart on the next page.

Chapter 36

381

In the above case, the 2nd lord is Saturn. Note from

Saturn, the 2nd is_occupiedby Venus, the l2th by Mercury
and the 8th by Jupiter.

The second yoga is Hara Yoga (Hara denotes lord

Sive.) See the chart given_abovefor an easy grasp fulfilling
the conditions laid down by'Parasara.

382

ln the abovccase, Saturn ruies the 7rh house and is

pfaced in Pisces. From him the 4th, gth and 9th are

In the above example, the ascendantlord Mars is in

In eachyoga,three housesare mentioned, i.e.

37. LAGNADHI YOGA .. Should beneficsbe in the Zth
and the 8th counted from the ascendant and be devoid of
conjunction/aspect of malefics, Lagnadhi yoga is produced
making onea greatperson,learnedin Sastrasand happy.
Notes : Sage Parasara does not include the 6th house
from the ascendantfor Lagnadhiyoga. Only two housesare
suggested,viz. the 7th and 8th from the ascendant.Tbis
is so given in the versionsof Chaukamba,Sri Venkateswara
Press, Thakur Prasad Pustaka Bhandara and C G. Rajan as
well. The last three versions have an additionaf condition
that the 4th house from the ascendant should at the same
time be vacant. In Chandradhi yoga, the sagehas included
the 6th house, seech.37infra,
After a study of the various texts, we can conclude to
the followirg effect : The 6th, 7th and 8th be occupied by
benefics in any manner, i.e. the three bencfics, viz, Jupiter,
Mercury and Venus may be disposed in one, two or three
housesin 6th, 7th and 8th. No other maleficshould be in these
housesnor aspect the occupants.The 4th from the ascendantor
from the Moon. as the casemay be, shouldremainunoccupied.
Then Adhi yoga is obtained. The beneficsmentoniedshould
also be free from combustionand debilitation. If the yoga is
formed in the above conditions, the native will Ue nighly
learned, wcalthy and be among the most suprememen on
the earth.
The best Adhi yoga is, however, with Mercury in the 6th,
Jupiter in the 7th and Venusin the gth house.

3-5 These yogas are to be known from the Karakarnsa
ascendant and the natal ascendant. On the one hand the

388

Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra

pair of Atmakaraka and Putrakaraka and on the other hand

the natal ascendant lord and the 5th lord be considered.
Tbe effects due to such association will be full, or a half
or I quarter accordingto their strengths.
Notes : Raja Yogas giving status can be tbrmed with
Karakamsa Lagna as the reckoningpoint. Similarly the natal
ascendantis also another centerwherefrom such yogasemanate'
(Karakamsa Lagna is the Navamsa occupied by the Atma
Karaka planet.)
If Karakamsa ascendantis oeing consideredin evaluation of Raja yogas, the status of Putra Karaka is also
to be taken into account. Here Putra Karaka is Chara
Karaka. He is the 6th in statusin the Atma Karaka scheme,
as eiplained in slokas13-17 of ch. 32 supra. On the other
hand ifnatal ascendant is being consideredthe 5th lord from
natal ascendantshould also be scrutinized in terms of dignity,
so that the real clues to the yoga are made out rightly. The
Sth tord has been given a very important position in the analysis
of Rajr Yoges by the sagedquating hin with the 9th lord
or evenmore, vide stokas33 and 34 of the current chapter.
We shall now take an expandedclue of the two hints
given in tho present verses about the evaluation of Raja
yogBs.
There are certain Raja Yogas formed with reference
to Karakamsaascendant, Atma Karaka's position in the Rasi
chart, Amatya Karaka, Upapada,Arudha pada etc.-so to say
in the Jaimini style-as can be seen in our present text. For
cxample takc the rule given in sloka 22 of the current chapter
where it is stated that Atma Karaka in benefic's Rasi or
Navamsa will make one wealthy. In the chart given in
ch. 29 (sloka l-3), we have Atma Karaka Moon in Jupiter's
Navamsa. So as per the rule the native should becoms
rich. To strengthenthis argument,we find Jupiter in exaltation. Putra Karaka (Chara scheme)for the gid horoscope
in the Sun. He aspects the ascendant. In the Navamsachart,
the Sun is placed in the 4th from Atma Karaka. All these
'the
indicate that
native should be wealthy. If Putra Karaka
(Chara) and Karakamsa Lagnaare not well related,the yogas
relatedto that schemewill be futile.

Next take the natal ascendantlord and the 5ti lord from
the natal ascendant. In assessing
the Raja yogasstrengthralated
to the natal ascendant, the strength'and relationship between
thesetwo lords should be correctly understood. In the exampte
chart cited aboVe,the 5th lord is Jupiter who is exaltedand is
cndowedwith a Shadbalaof 9,32 Rupas and Mars 7.32 Rupas.
Their Vimsopaka strengths-are respectively 16.45 aod 16.g0
points making them extrenely well disposedto causevigopr to

Hcnce it is apparent that the sage.correlatesthe Chara
Putra Karaka with the Karakamsaascendant (or Atmakaraka)
and the 5th lord from natal ascendant with the lord of the
natal ascendantitself.

the 5th from there) or separatelyin thesc places. Alternatively,
both ofthem should be in their respective exaltationsigns,
or in own signs, or in own Navamsasand be related to a
benefic by aspect. In this respect, the horoscope of Mrs
Gandhi will serve us with a perfect exapple. Her chart can
be found with reference to sloka 50 in ch. 24 supra. The
Atma Karaka is Saturn (21" 50') while Putra Karaka is Mercury

while Mercury is in the 5th lifting the native to Himalayan

Notes : Though mid-day and mid-night are denoted in
the translation for Dinardha and Nisardba a clarification is
cssentialin regard to the implicationsof these.Mid-day simply
denotes12 Noon while mid-night zero hour as per commou
use. But what the sage implies is somewhat diffcrent.
Dinardha means half of the day while Nisardha meanshalf of
the night, keeping in mind the Sun rise and Sun setar a given
place. ,The versehas a yoga to indicate that if there is a birth

Chapter 39

397

within an hour of the said Dinardha or Nisardha, the native

will be a king. I shail illustratethis with a practicalcase.
Take for instancea birth on l5th February 1947 at
Jodhpur 73 E 2 and 26 N lg. The local sun rise is ai 063g hrs
and sun set at 1749 hrs. Hence for this latitudeand date,
the dayduration is llh llm and night duration l2h49m,
Divide the day duration by two to get Dinardhawhich indicates
5h 35m. similarlydividingnightduratioo by 2 we get Nisardha
as 6h 24m. Add 5h 35m to sun rise which wilr give harf the
day duration. Thus by adding 5h 35m to Otr lgm, we get
I2h l3m. Similarly in the case of night, the nigbt durati-on
of l2h 49m be halved and the figure'arrivedat is tb be added
tosun set. Thus weget Oh l3m (i.e. 13 mlater thanthe
usualmid-night).
From the abovewe may understandthat by simply taking
t2 noonas mid-dayand 0 hour as mid-nightit witt noiser". oui
purposein the contextofthe yogasuggested
by the sage. Needlessto mentionthat LMT is to be usedfor thesecalcuLtions.
Uttara Kslanrita has two yogas in this respect, viz.
Koteeswarayoga and Lakshadhikariyoga(vide crr 4, sroka30;.
Accordingto its author if therebe a birth within 2
ehatikas(i.e.
4E minutes as against parasara'smention of 60 minutesj of
Dinardhaand Nisardha,a king is born who will conquer his
enemiesand observe religious rules of conductand be learned.
fie further adds that if in the saidcasean exaltedplanet is i:i the
2nd house,in aspectto anotherexalted planet,a Koteeswarais
born' If the aspectigplanet is in its own house(insteadof being
in eraltation) the nativewill then be only a Lakshadher*orul
Sufficeit to say that there will be relatively less riches in the
secondcase.

Lords of anglesare tho.se ruling the ascendaot, thc 4th,

Here we must note the implied difrerencebetweenthe four

lords ruling the various angles. The angular lords are powerful
and more importint in the ascendingorder. That is, the 4th lord
is more powerful than the ascendantlord, the ?th lord is so
againstthe 4th lord, and the l0th lord is the most powerful
among the four lords. So the efrectswill also increase in thc

Notes : The 5th lord has beenpsed in spiritual and material planesas well. Whereasthe 9th lord is solelyrelatedto onc's
spiritualachievements
as could be seenby the treatment given
by MaharshiParasarain the above5 slokas.
The word Tridandi hasbeen translated as above in the
contextof relatingthe native to a Sansyasias these slokas
exclusivelyconcentrate on the spiritual achievements
of the
'Tridandi'alsomeans
native.
one who obtainedcommandover
mind, speechand deed. Without 'TrikarandSuddhi' or purity
of thesethree it will not be possibtefor one to achieve Oiuinl
bliss.One who thinks bad in his mind though good in the other
two spheres,viz. speechand actions cannotbe calleda pure
character.Or one who.thinks of good and speakssimilarly but
actsin a contrary manner cannot be a successfulspiritualist.
Lastly one who speaksund'esirable
words though good in thinking and actingcannotalso reach self realisation. Hence it is
evident that one should be a 'Tridandi' or endowed with
Trikarana Suddhi, -so that he locatesthe Almighty at every
point of spaceand time.
We haveso far seen that 5th and 9th lordsare primarity
'realth givers. The sagealsodenotesthe 5th and 9th lords
as
lords of 'Lakshmi sthanas'.Lakshmi though normally means
wealth,furtherconveysa meaningsplendour (our lustre). Tt i,
relatesto dlvine splendour acquircd by a personthrough his
iiiritual merits.If a personis splendorous,ive seein him what
ii called Brrhma Varchrs or the splendour making him look
lite God, free from any material attachment.I; this context
pe cannot but recall great personageslike Rama Krishna
of various
ftrama Hamsa, Maharshi Ramana, Sankaracharyas
prdersand periods, Sivananda and so on aitd so forth. In all
these cases,the 5th and 9tt lords and 5th and 9th houses
enabledthem earn that splendour.The wealth they earned is
such that it cannot be exhausted even after many centuries,
i e. divine status.

28. ANGULAR AND TRINAL LORDS RELATED : Tho
(i.e. housesof Lord Vishnu)
anglesare known as Vishnusthaana
while the trines are called Lakshmi sthaanas(i.e. houses oi

Lakshmi). If the lord of an angle establishesrelationshipwith a

trinal lord, a Rajayogawill obtain.
Notes : The 4 houses,viz. the lst, 4th, ?th and l0th are
known as Vishnusthaanas
while the 5th and ahd 9th are l-akshmisthaanas.
In Hindu mythology, Lakshmi is a consortof Lord
Vishnu,the supremegod.A relationshipthus betweenan angular
lord and a trinal lord is capableof causinga superiorRajayoga,
just as bne having the blessings
of Sri Vishnu and His consort
Lakshmiwill be endowedwith permanentwellbeing.
The kinds of relationship betweenplanets that will be
favourableare :
l. An exchange

aspects
betweenthesetwo lords.
2. Mutual
3. Conjunctionof thesetwo lords.
4. Mutual angularplacementexistingbetweenthesetwo.
5. Mutual trinal placementbetweenthesetwo.
The first three kinds of relationshipsare more powerful
while the last two cannot be equally powert'ul but in a lesser
degree.
A sixth kind of relationshipcan also be extendedin this
contextto Navamsa positionsthoughI have no specificciassic
sanctionfor this. For examplein a Capricornian'scase, Mars in
the Navamsaof.Venusand Venusin that of Mars will confer a
superiorRaja yoga. This form of relationship will be eqally
superior like the first 3 relationships mentioned by me in thc
earlier paragraph.
After seeingsuch a relationship between an angular lord
and a trinal lord, their dignities like Parijataetc. will haveto bc

29.34 EFFECTS OF DIVISTONAL DIGNITIES OF THE

TWO PLANETS SO RELATED .' Should an angular lord
and a trinal lord having sucha relationship(vide above slokas)
be in Parijatamsa,the native will be king and will protect men,
if Uttamamsahe will be an excellentking endowed with elephants,horses,chariotsetc , if in Gopuramsahe will be a tiger of
kings honouredby othcr kings,and if in Simhasanamsa
he wil!
be an emperorruling over the entire earth; with the said Rajayogarelationshipof the said planetsin Simhasanamsa
were born
Haiischandra,Manu, Bali, the Firc god (Agni Deva)and many
otlrer emperors. In the present Yugaso born is Yudhishtira(or
Dharma Raja of Maha Bharata). Salivahana'sbirth and that of
otherswill qlso comewith thisyoga. With theseplanetsso related
Manu etc. were born. The Incarnationsof
and in Paaravatamsa,
Lord Vishnu took placewhen the said planets,beingso related,
uere in Devalokamsa;and in BrahmalokamsaLord Brahma
and in Iravatamsathe SwayambhuManu (the first of the 14
Manus identified as the second creator who produced the
Prajapatis and to the said Manu the code 'of laws yiz. Manusmriti is ascribed)wereborn.
Notes : The two planets,viz. anangularlord and a trinal

will
The roader can intelligently

manipulatethe effectsac,cordingto such Am'sas.
When studyingthese slokas,we reacha crucial point as
to the period of Parasara. There a1e baselessarguments that
Parasara,author of Brihrit Parasara Hora, could not be a sage
that hved thousandsof yearsago; bur a very recent author tnat
shouldhavelived after Varaha Mihira, Bhattotpala, Kalyana
Yarma and so on and so forth. This misconception does not

4t2

Brihat ParasaraHora Sastra

deservean answerat all and is worth beingbrushed asideas an

idle gossip. The holdersof suchopinion may advancea million
argumentsin their own favour. Our query to them is: which
exponentreferred to the horoscopicpositionsof Lord Vishnu,
Harischandra,Manu, Bali Chakravarthi,Agni Deva,Swayambhu
Manu and last but not the least the Creater Brahmatrimself?
Is it humanlypossible, but for a sage, with divine contacts,
to producecombinationsexistingin the sacred horoscopesof
Vishnu, Brahmaetc.?Also note with specificattentionthe statement of Parasarathat "Dharma Raja (the eldest son of king
Pandu, of Maha Bbarata)of the present oge,has this yoga".
Does this not stand as an indisputabletestimony of Parasara
having lived in the Maha Bharataera ?
Yet, another clue about Parosarais servedwhenin the
abovelineswe find his prediction that Salivahana and others
'"will
be born" with this yoga. The verb used is bhavita in
future tense. That conveysthat Parasarawas a predecessorof
of Bhattotpalaetc.
Salivahanaand not a successor
MaharshiJaimini,author of PoorvaMimamsaand propagator of Jaimini Astrologywasa discipleof Parasara.If Parasara
lived in the lTth century,what aboutJaimini ?
Specificattentionof the reader is drewn to the statement
of Parasarain ]sloka 32above,to the effectthat "in the present
Yuga" Dharma Raja is born with sucha yoga.This is an ample
proof that our sagewas in Maha Bharata time and was the
illustriousparentof illustriousVedaVyasa.
Lastly,the following popular quotation enlists Parasart
amongthe l8 exponentsof Jyotisha:

sstrology.

Basedon the sage'sinstructions,we may device the following simpleand commonformula to know the numberof years
contributed by any of the 7 planets.(All concernedlongitudes
should be convertedinto decimals. The minutesand secondsbe
also considered.For example,211 32'49" is converted into
21.347 degreesfor easy calculation.) The formula to find out
the basicplanetarycontribution is :
. l. If "d" is lessthan 180o,then "c"
-f-(dxf+360)

'c' is the basic years

Take Sati.rrn'scaseas an exarnple. He can at bestcontribute 20 years. In the horoscope under evaluation, he is
223.1613degreesaway. froin his deep exaltation (Libra 20').
Hence to find out the basicsontribution of Satuin, rle use

accordingto the planetbeingin l2th, llth, l0th,9th, gth and
7th. These are for maleficplanetswhite a beneficin this connection loses only half of what is notcd for a malefie. The
Moon is ever a benefic for longevity calculations, as. per
Maharshi Parasara. (Mercury although joining a malefic be
treated as a benefic only, lbr all longevitycalculations.) We
find herethat thereis harmonicprogressionin thesedeductions
and hencewe ought to havea scientificand logical approach to
the quantunrof correction,ratherthan resortingto a flat check
arbitrarily. There is no justificationin straightawayeliminating
the whole,for example,for a maleficin the l2th not giving heed
placement.It.should be full at the l2th
to his actualdegreewise
bhavaendingpoint, poroprtionatelylesson the l2th cusp and
still lesseron thc beginningpoint of l2th bhava or Ilth bhava
ending point. That is, starting with a l00f lesson the l2rh
bhava ending we gradually arrive for a50/" reductionat the
point where the llth bhava ends.. Thus it will be one sixth
reduction at the ond of 7rh bhavawhile it will be l/7th at the
beginaing of the 7th bhava (or end of the 6th bhava). The
reductionobtainedby this methodshould bc half in the case of
Mercury and the Moon). Witha benefic(i.e. Jupiter,"Vdnus,
out going through any difficult process,for each bhava, a
common formula is given with which one can rectify the basic
contributionsof a planet io one of thesehouses.
Thc formula is :

To understand this forftula, we will rectify Saturn's

tbis reduction. He is in Gemini 3-9-41 whilethe 8th house

Thus, on accdunt of Vyayadi Harana, Saturn entailsa
check of 2.2869 yezrs. In the example horoscope, Mercury is
not liablc to this reductionas he is quite prior to tho beginoing

Mercury,though joining a natural maleficwill not be liable to
this reduction. We do not requirethis rcductionto any planet
in the example horoscope, as there is nonein thg ascendant.
Here the ascendantmeans the area betweenthe startingand
ending points of the sign rising. To find out this reduction,
tte ascendentalcusp in degrees, minutes and seconds be
,multiplied by the number of basicyearsdonatedby the malefic
concernedand divided by 21600. The divider is 21600as these
are the total minutes of arc in the zodiac. The figure so arrived
should be reduced from the said malefic'sbasiccontribution.
However, if a beneficaspectsthe said malefic, reduce only balf
of the figure so suggested
5. We have thus seenfour typei of reductions. At every
stage the reduction should not be done instantaneously. After
obtaining the reduction figures, whereverpermitted,check up
if there is more than one reduction for one and the same planet
under various headings. The following may be rememberedin
this connection.
(a) If a planet attracts more rnan one rednction, thc
highest reduction is only to be done ignoring the orhers. For

424

Brihat parasara Hora Sastra

exampfe,assumeMercury attractsa reduction of 7.5yearsdue

to rule, l, folloived by 2.3 yearsdue to rute 2 anOi.3S yearir
due to rule 3. The highest reduction is due to rute i and
hence only 7.S is to be deductedand the other two figuresbe
ignored in toto.
(b) In case of Vyayadi Harana (rule 3), two or three
plancts may be in one bhava. In that case,the strongestloses
and the other (or others)will not lose.
Not only the planets, but the asbcndantalso grantsa
certainnumberof years. This figureshould alsb bc found out
before adding to the planetary contributions. To know the
the number of years granted by the asccnclant,
firstlynote the
numberof signsinterveningbctweenAries ancl the sign before
the ascendant.That is, if Sagittariusis tlrc asccndant,count
upto Scorpio beginning from Arics. This dcnotesg years.
The degreesin the ascendantbe also proportionatcly convertcd
into years treating 30 degrcesas one year, or ,2.5degreesas a
'month.
The contributiqnof asccndantwill bc so calculatedif
the asccndantlord is strongerthan the NavamsaLagnalord.
In case the Navamsa Lagna lord is stronger than his
cotrnterpart,a different computationis to be rcsortedto, thus.
Count from Aries till you rcacha sign beforcNavamsaLagna.
In the case under study, the NavamsaLagnalord, Moon, is
strongerthan the ascendantlord. Hencewe cqmpute Navamsa
Iagna's contributionfor our own use. The NavamsaLagna is
Cancer. Hencefrom Aries to Cancerwe havethrec cornpleted
Navamsaswhich give 3 year. The ascendingdegreeis 0-4g-34
whereasonb Navamsais 3" 20'. Proportionately thus we get
another0.2428yearsand have the total contribution of 3.242g
years 8s Ascendant'scontribution. In caseof Navamsatreat
3" 20' as one full year. ' The ascendanr's
contributionundergoes no check.
Now we are ready for final reductions. 'There are
planets
3
in the 7th house,viz. tbe Sun,the Moon and Venus.
.The Sun is the strongest and hence Vyayadi Harna (rule
3)
appliesto only the Sun while venusand the Moon are'rid of
reduction on this score. The Sun is in enemy,scamp
and on
tbis scorehe losesa third of 17 5642,which reduction
is equal
to 5,854i. This figure is higher thanthe one obtained for
the

42s

Chapter 4i

Sun as per rule 3 (i.e. Vyayadi Harana). Hence his final

contributionturns to be 11.7095years (ie. basicyears minus
Satru kshetra Harana). In the matter of Vyayadi Harana
(rule 3) there is no other bhavawherethereis more than one
planet.
Though the Moon has not lost on account of rule 3
(VyayadiHarana),sheis liableto reduction on account of her
combustion(rule l). Thus rvhenher basiccontribution(24627,
is halved,sheis left with a net donationof l2 3124years.
Except the Sun, no other planet is in enemy'ssign. So,
Satru KshetraHarana(rule 2) doesnot apply to others. Now

also contributes in Nisargayu. The method of its contribution

33-40. OTIIER CLUES TO LONGEVITY : O excellent

of the Brahmins,I give you details of other methodsin the
matter of longevityas under : This is basedon the positionsof
the ascendantIord, 8th lord, Saturn,the Moon, natal ascen{ant
and Hora ascendant(Hora Lagna). Thesesix are groupedinto
threegroupsthus : the lords of the ascendantand of the 8th
on the one hand, Saturnand the Moon on the other hand,and
on yet the other hand,
tbe natal ascendaotand Hora ascendant
Out of a group,if the two are in movable sign/signslong life is
denoted. One in fixed sign and the other in a dual sign will
also bestowlong life. One in movable aign and the other in
fixed sign will give medium life. If both are in dual signthen
againmediumlife will be obtained. Short life is denotedif one
is in a movablesign as the other is in a common sign,or if both
are in fixed signs. The type of life denoted by three or two

Clnpter 43

431

groups be only considered.lf thc threegroupsdenotedifferenl

scales,then the one indicated by the pair of natalascendant
'and
Hora ascendan,tbe only considered. In case of thrce
differentindications if the Moon ls in the ascendant
or the Zth,
tben the one indicated by Saturn-Moonpair will only come to
pass.
Notes: Three groups are considcredherefor this system
of longevitycalculations. Following are the thrce groups, each
roup consistingtwo of the six.
Ist group-natal ascendantlord and 8rh lord from the
ascendant.
2nd group-Saturn and the Moon.
'
3rd group-natal ascendantand Hora Langa. (For Hora
I:gna, seep. 63).
Thus two planets in one group, two planetsin another
group and two ascendantsiu yet another group are selected.
Now their positions will denote the basic longevity. Note the
position of eachof the constituentin eachgroup thus :
l. Long life: If both the constituentsare in movablesigns
(jointly or separately),long life will cometo pass. Onc in fixed
sign and another in a dual sign will also give samescaleof
longevity.
2. Medium life : One in movable sign and anotherfixed
sign will givemediumlife. Both in dua! signswill alsogive same
effects.
3. Short life : One in movable sign and anotherin dual
sign will indicatc short.life. Both of them in fixed signswill
produceagainshort life.
Thus, all the six possible positionsof a pair are covered.
lVhich group is to be consideredfor arriving at life spanand
in wbat circumstances
be understoodthus.
4. Out of the three groups, the scaleof span(viz. Iong,
medium and short) indicated by two or threebe considered.
Suppose two groups indicate medium life while another
sbort life, then take mediumspanas.thebasicone. Alternatively
if three indicate identical scales,i e. Iong, short or medium,
cclnsiderthat as the case may be. It is also possiblethat one
group denoteslong life, another medium life and yet another
short life. In that casefollow point 5 given belbw.

432

Brihut ParasorqHora Sastra

5. If 3 groups denote variable spans,the group of natal

ascendantand Hora ascendantwill havc a say on the indication.
Whatever this pair denoteswill be the basicspanin caseof
threedifferent indications.
6. Rule 5 hasalsoan exception,thus. That is, in the case
of three differentindications(i.e. onc long life, anothermedium
fife and yet anothershort life), seethe positionof the Moon in
or in the 7th,
the natal horoscope. lf she is in the ascendant
then the indication given by the pair of Hora-natalascendants
be ignored and the indication of Saturn-Moon be alone
considered. lf the Moon is neither in the ascendant
nor in the
7th, then follow the indicationof }Iora-natal ascendants
as given
in rule 2 above.

denotedby all the said three groups, the span is 120years,if

by 2 groups72 years and by one group 64 years. If short life
is denotedby the saidthreegroupsit is only 32 years,if by two
groups 36 yearsand by one group 40 years. Theseare rectified
as under.
Notes : Again, the sagefixesthe guantum of yearsfor long,
short,and mediumlife spans,thus.
Long life : by 1 pairs-120 years(harmonic reduction of
12 years)
2 pairs-I80 years

Chapter 43

Medium life : by 3 pairs-80 years(harmonic reductionof

8 years)
2 pairs-72 years
I pair -64 years
Short life : by 3 pairs-32 years(progressiveincreaeeof
4 years)
2 pairs-36 years
I pair -40 years
The indicationhas to be selectedas per rules4 to 6 givcn
in the notesfor slokas33-40.
We will now work out the basiccontribution of longcvity
for the same example as given for Pindayu calculations' The
chart may be understood from Pindayu example, while Hora
Lagna is Taurus 20' 32' 12".
The first group-ascendant lord is in a movablesign and
the 8th lord is also in a movableiign. Hencc long life.
The second group-Saturn and the Moon are respectively
in dual sign and movable sign. Hence short life.
The third group-Hora Lagnaand the qatal ascendant&rc
both in fixed signs. Again short life.
Two groupsindicateshort life. Hencewe are left with no
dilemmabut to selectthe indicationsgiven-by thc twogroups,
'hence
36 years will
i.e. short life. Two pairsindicateshort life,
be the basiclongevity.
This basiclongevity will have to be rectiGedfurther as per
the instructionsgiven in the following verses.

3. Out of the two (i.e 2nd and 7th) the 2nd is a powerful
Maraka house(as againstthe 7th) The lords of the 2nd and the
7th, malefic'sin tho 2nd ard the ?th and maleficsaceompanying
tbc 2nd and the 7th lords are all known as Marakas. The major
and sub periodsof theseplanetswill bring deathon the native
depcndingon whetherhe hasa long life, mediumlife or short life.

Chapter 44

Notes : The 2nd an<l 7th are denotedas Maraka houses.

but the 2nd is givena more important placeto kill than the 7th
house. For the 2nd houseacquiresan additional qualification of
beingin the 7th from the 8th house.Thus, the 2nd is l2th from
the 3rd, and 7th from the 8th.
If thereiq a maleficin the 2nd or in the 7th, he will be a
prime killer while a beneficwill not be so. The Dasa periods of
suchplanetswill inflict death.

6-7. The Dasa of a beneficplanet related to the l2th lord
may also inflict death. End may descendon the nativein the 8th
lord's Dasa. The Dasaof a planetwhich is an exclusivemalclic
(i.e. first-ratemalefic)may also causedeath.
Notes : The l2th houseisalsoa houseof death,for it is
the terminal house. Malefics related to 2nd, 3rd, Tth and 8rh
will causedeathwhile or not a beneficrelatedto l2th will do so.
The Dasaof a malefic,whelheror not he is a lord of oneof these
houses,will also prove harmful for spanof life. Ho\wever,for
Saturn,a dilferentapproachis recommended.
The rules given are just general and are hints to decide
deathgivers. The life spanshould be ascertainedthrough other
Ayurdaya catculations, and the exact dasaperiodsbe dccided
only later on. Simply sayingthat the 2nd lord's dasawill bring
in death and so on and so forth will be a misnomer. The sage
suggeststhat the occupantsof the 3rd,alsowi[ causedeath..Thus
thc 8th and the 3rd, though known as housesof longevity,are
gimultaneouslycapableof causingdeath. For the information
of the reader,the Maraka planetsin the ascendingare : occuponts ofor lords of l2th, 3rd, 8rh, ?th and 2nd. The lords/
gccupantsof 6th and llth are seco'ndgrade killers. The last
group consistsof occupants/lords
of 5th, 9th, l0th, 4th and Ist.
They are the least rnarakas. However, thesecan also become
Marakasdependingon the cluesgiven in slokas l5-2t infra.

10-14.O Brahmin, I tell you further about Marakas'

Narratedearlierare three kinds of life spans,viz' short,medium
and long. Short life is before 3l years, later on upto 64 it is
med'urnlife aod from 64 to 100it is long life. Beyond100 the
longevityis called supreme. O excellentof the Brahmins,it is
impossibleto decideupon longevitytill the nativeis 20 year old'
Tii suchyear the child shouldbe protectedby sacredrecitations,
religious offerings(of gheeetc. to consecr&tedlire as prescribed

443

Chapter44

by Vedasetc.) and medicaltreatments,for prematuredeath may

discend on the child due to sins of father or mother or of its
own (in the previous birth).

15-21. I furtber mention about the Maraka planets.

One born with short lifs combinations may face death in the
Dasadenotedby Vipat star (3rd from birth star);one of medium
life may die in the dasadenotcdby Pratyak star (5th from birth
star). .In the dasa denotedby Vadha star (7th from birth star),
-one
with long life may obtain his end. The dasaof the lord of
22nd decanateor the one of 23rd, 3rd, Sth or ?th asterismsmay
also cause death. The lords of the 2nd and l2th counted from
the Moon sign may bring death,this is true when the said ruler
is a maleficand if he be a beneficthere will be (only) disease
(but not death). Death may cometo passin the dasaof the 6th
lord and in the sub periodsof 6th/8th/l2th lords. Should there
be many Marakas (endowedwith the power of killing) and be
strong, therc will be diseases,misbriesetc. in the respective
major and sub periods. Thus theseare Marakas (as above)and
are primarily relatedto descenddeathupon the native. Accor'
ding to thcir dispositiousthere may be dcath or difficulties.

Notes : The Maraka power of a planet may be correlated

to the spanof life arrived by other calculations. If both
coincide therewill be death. If thereis a variation, therc will
not be deathbut difficultiesequalto deathlike miseries,diseases,
poverty etc.

water or fire, or fall from heights or confinement. Death will

In placeof 'n' given above, some translatorsinterpretthe

as degreeoccupiedby the planetwhich is obviously
not correct. [n this connection, the reader'sattentionis drawn
to Balabhadra's Hora Ratna, ch 3 wherein the author
Balabhadrahimselfgivcs an example for the Sun beingin the
7th Navamsaof Leo and thus he consideredonly 7 as muliiptier.
He hasnot taken in to account the Sun's degree. He quotes
AdhbbutaSegara as his authority for calculationof Sayanadi
Avasthas. It will thus be clear that 'Amsa' is Navamsaand
not degreein this context.

strengthand weakness
of the planets. In exaltation,the planets
revealeffectsin a pronoundedmannerdue to (good)avasthas.
Notes : If a planetis in good Avasthaand is in Cheshta
(sub state), the good effects will be full. If the sub stateis
Vicheshta,the good cffectsareneutralised. lf the substateis
Drishti, good effectswill be feebly felt. A planet in exaltarion
will give the good effectsdue to a particular Avasthain a fuller
measure.
If a planeris in bad Avasthawith Chesbtaas sub state,
the evil effectswill be less. With Drishti, evil effectswill be
visibly felt. If Vichesbtais sub state,bad effectsare neutralized.
In debilitation, the evil effects due to an Avastha will be
pronounced.
Eachplanetgivesdifferenteffects-goodor bad-according
to the Avastha. No constant evaluationbe madejust with the
nameof an Avastha. This is what is conveyedin the following
