Remedial Measures for Sarpa Dosha

In our daily life, we come across the word Sarpa dosha. Let us examine what is
Sarpa dosha? Sarpa is the race of Surasa, inhabiting the waters Bhogavati beneath
the Earth. They are supposed to have human face serpent-like lower extremities
their kings are Shesha, Vasuki and Takshaka. 7 or 8 of the Sarpas are particularly
mentioned in Mahabharata.
Sarpa dosha and planetary dispositions:

Rahu occupying the eighth from lagna, identical with a malefic sign, in conjuction
with or aspected by Sani, Rahu and Gulika in the eighth, Rahu occupying the badhaka
Rasi in conjuction with Sani or aspected by Sani and Rahu and Gulika in the badhaka
Rasis. If Rahu or Ketu is in the lagna, 2nd, 5th, 7th or 8th house, it is generally
said to have Sarpa dosha. Ketu in the lagna called Manglya Sarpa Dosha causes delay
in marriage. Ketu in the 2nd house called Aayurbhava Sarpa dosha creates longevity
problems. Ketu in the 11th house called Putra bhava Sarpa dosha causes progency
related problems. Rahu occupying the 8th from lagna, identical with a malefic sign,
in conjuction with or aspected by Sani. Rahu and Gulika in the eighth, Rahu
occupying the badhaka Rasi. 11th for moveable signs of Mesha, Karkataka, Tula and
Makara, 9th house for fixed signs of Vrushaba, Simha, Dhannus and Kumba and 7th for
dual signs Mithuna, Kanya, Dhannus and Meena Rasis.

It is widely believed that the childless couples will be blessed with a child, if
they observe the Naga Panchami vratra. Those who read the story from the
Mahabharata on the day of Nagapanchami after worshipping Sarpas will be greatly
relieved from the problems due to Sarpa dosha. The impact of Sarpa dosha is so
severe that it may create early curtailment of wedlock, by death of spouse or
divorce, delay in progency or no progency and unexpected accidents.

Dosha Nivarana Mantra should be recited for 108 times daily for more results that
are effective.
