    BHAVA KUTUHALAM ATHYTAY Translation Commentary Annotation By Girish Chand Sharma SAGAR PUBLICATIONS 72, Janpath, Ved Mension New Delhi - 110 001 Tel.: 332 0648 First Published 1996 ©G.C. Sharma Published by Narinder Sagar for SAGAR PUBLICATIONS 72, Janpath, Ved Mension New Delhi- 110 001 PREFACE "BHAVKUTUHALAM by Jeevnath deceptively may appear to bbe a smaller text on vedic astrology but as one advances through the book, this conception is totally belied. In fact the learned writer has presented the whole volume in such a way that while on one hand, the pith of classics is very lucidly presented; the student as well as practitioner would find quite a few new horizons and initiatives. Hence it is of immense usefulness to the practitioner. |As hinted above there has been a long felt need for an En- lish rendering of the text to bring out the hidden meanings and sub- tle nuances of the aphorisms stated in typical poetic Sanskrit. The present book would largely fulfil this mission. Now I wish to highlight a few salient features which distin- ‘guish this work from the rest: In chapter 2, the author inter alia has given six axioms on dis- ‘ress (arishta) to ones relatives. These principles are not only preg- nant with new meanings but also expose a very refreshing new in- terpretation. Even practice has confirmed their validity time and There is yet another focus which must be stressed. The author in a novel way has employed the various signification in the inter- pretation of various distress causing. planetary configurations. This is rarely to be found elsewhere. Similarly in chapter four, the eight aph- ‘orism on combinations causing distress (distress to the subject) to na- tive, have their own, place of pride as they have been found very ‘lose to the truth. In regard to the house of progeny, the expression and style of Jeevnath is typically Indian and seems to have been conditioned by the ancient socio-economic parameters. However, the fact remains that astrologers have been doing research on this aspect and much more work is needed to be done to the fact that in actual practice the experience tums out to be contrary to the stated facts, This has been explained in detailed notes on first aphorism of chapter six. This chapter can be taken as a pointer for future research in this field In chapter 7, Jeevnath introduces us to the outcome of his com- prehensive study and experience on various planetary combinations Promising positions of power (Rajyogas). The effects of these com- binations for the commoner as well as for the natives of royal par- entage have been intelligently distinguished, This fact is specially noteworthy. While deciphering these crucial facts one need not be overtaken by the poetical language used which tends to appear as an exaggeration and must be isolated as an astrological principle on realistic plane. This caution has been exercised wherever necessary and explanatory notes have been added. Chapter 9 refers to female horoscopy. Like other subjects this work lays down some solid foundation for augmenting faith in prac- tical vedic astrology. Here again, beyond the limits of language, the soul of aphorisms has been so expressed as would definitely help the student as well as the practitioner. Exemplary notes would be of val- ue, I believe. To isolate and determine, the ‘death inflecting’ (or giving) plan- markesh) has been a central issue in predictive astrology. For the seven aphorism (namely 1,2,34,8 to 10) of chapter 14 are of fundamental value, though the whole subject embraces much wider dimensions and variables, The remaining axioms presenting combi- nations promising wealth, power or debts would also be interesting to study and apply with advantage. Chapter 15 focuses upon the study of various portfolios of life from the horoscope. It would be very helpful to study and analyse the horoscope for assessing about natives body structure, diseases, capacity, tolerance, wealth, debt, happiness from mother, brothers, physical facilities, progeny, education, wife and relationships, age, ‘mode of death, rise in life, acquisition of power, position success or failure, quantum of gains, profession, progress, upliftment of soul, losses from the government and the like, Besides these, many more special pieces of information pertaining to body marks, cancellation of planetary combinations denoting distress in life, interpretation of Vimshottai Dasha with 'Avasthas’ of planets. Prof. DPS Chauhan has been a constant inspiration and guide to plan the book in the present style and format, It is only, thanks to Prof. Chauhan that the book is in the form as presented as he ets ( has very finely honed the language used. When I think about his en- thusiasm, love and co-operation, I feel hesitant to thank him as it Would be grossly inadequate AAs I reflect upon the whole process of writing this volume, my mind goes to the endless service, co-operation and help, my wife Sarla Sharma, has rendered but for which this would not have been possible 1 could maintain regular enthusiasm all through the script ‘only thanks to the continuous review of my work by my literary friend Sh. Ashok Agarwal who would never hesitate to check out on the number of pages completed by me. It is only because of this constant prodding that I could finish the task in time. And in the end 1 must thank Sh. Narinder Sagar for his con- stant help and enthusiasm to see the book in the present form as pub- lished, He deserves all the praise for his speed and suppor.

Notes: It has been the tradition among the Indian thinkers that when they begin to write a book, they first of all offer obeisance to their Ishta Devata (the god they worship most). Here the writer of Bhave-Kutubolam first of all offers his obcisance again and again on the beautiful feet of his Ishta Devata, Lord Shiva. Another learned rman interprets this worship in a different way from the above inter- pretation. “This universe is bom of the sacred water of Lord Shiva although it is crested by Brahma, That Lord Shiva protects man from the fear of birth and death, he causes bliss in the hearts of gods and demons; and gods demons and parbrahmaswaroop concentrate their ‘mind on him; he is bliss ineamate; he is the emaneipator (bridge) of all the worlds and he is the cause of the creation of the universe. 1 (the writer) bow on the lotus feet of Lord Shiva which have blissful and unique delicacy in them. ‘The Indian thinkers regard Lord Shiva as the prime source of all Knowledge and leaning, framed ward qa vfralaeraey | Profan ai Sara wera wage Ay 111 ‘The Source of the Sutras (Shlokas) of the Book : |, the writer Jeeva Nath, publish this book “Bhava Kutuhalam’ for the benefit of learned Astrologers. Due to the prevalence in Astrology of the vari- ‘ous miraculous ideas propounded by many thinkers, I have observed ‘well only the substance of the available statements Notes : It is quite clear from this statement of Jeeva Nath that the ideas, that is, the principles of Predictive Astrology which were left by the thinkers on Astrology before the writer were quite capa- ble of making true predictions. Therefore Jeeva Nath calls their pre- dictive Sutras miraculous. The writer of the present book studied deeply those very miraculous predictive Sutras, and having studied them, he, the writer Jeeva Nath, compiled in this book *Bhava Kutuhalam’ in bis own words, those miraculous predictive Sutras Which were found to be perfectly correct by him according to his ‘The Chapter Describing Names 3 ‘own views. Obviously such a confession is found only in persons of very high character. ora = aba@at: Ht 3. May the knowledge of the supreme fruit-giving predictive Astrology given by Lord Brahma which is oppressed with trouble be- cause of being mixed with the irrational Sutras of the Predictive As- twology of the Yawanas, bathe itself for the benefit of the world in the flowing current of my delicate and clear words which are like a pool of nectar. Notes: Many mysterious branches of knowledge like that of predictive Astrology got favourable circumstances to prosper in An- cient India, Indeed India has remained prosperous with the treasure of both knowledge and wealth. In the ancient times other countries of the world were obsessed with the wicked desire of making con- tact with India, attacking her, looting her wealth and treasure and rul- ing over her. Many foreign nations came into India and Settled here. ‘These people left the impression of their nature, character, conduct and Culture on India. Some of the invading nations were ¢rucl and Savage. They left no stone unturned in looting the wealth of this ‘country and also in destroying her culture. But besides such foreign- ‘rs some of them made cultural exchanges also. ‘Among the various invaders the Yawans, that is, the inhabit- ants of Greece also came here as invaders. These invaders also ‘brought with them the leamed persons well versed in various branches ‘of knowledge philosophers and intellectuals and lovers’ of cultures. Tn about 326 BC. Alexander came into India and he established his rule over Gandhar, Sindha, Punjab, Taxila, Visa etc. His rule contin- ued to exist immovably even after Alexander’s death These people hhad got success in establishing their contact and rule in India over ‘wide area. The Yawans reached down to Patliputra (modern Patna) during the times of Demetrius, Ukretides and Minander. The emper- ‘or Chandra Gupta Maurya had even merital relations with the daugh- ter of the Yawan King named Selukas. The contact of the Yawanas 4 Bhav Kutuhalam continued to increase in later times, The first exchange was in the field of trade. The Indian people began to keep the yawan girls as their wives or stepwives. This is written in a famous book entitled “Periplus’. The yawan breed thus got mixed in the Indian society. This mixing did not fail to be there in the field of Knowledge, Sci- cence, Arts and literature. In the field of Astrology some of the yawans got their place among such great astrologers as Parashara, Narada, Garga, Vashishtha and Bhrigu. Yawanacharya is one of such famous Astrologers. Such Yawan astrologers were specially honoured during the times of Varahamihira Varahamihira himself has written so in hhis famous book ‘Brihat-Samhit “TR TERY Te wale Rey! Ra peri fe gataq fer 11” that is, the Yawanas among the Mlechchas are well versed in this branch of knowledge (Astrology). They are worshipped like the rishis ‘or the sages. It may then be imagined as to how the Brahmins, Well versed in Astrology should be adored. Indeed some of the Yawan learned persons got themselves mixed with the Indian soil in the teal sense and glorified not only ‘Astrology but also the various branches of knowledge. But some proud, power hungry yawanas had their treatment with Indian As- ‘rology which was like that of rape. It is because of this that the learned person who knows the essence of predictive Astrology is 50 full of sadness. But this is highly ironical that those things which ‘were added separately to the Indian Astrology by the yawanas and those limbs of Indian Astrology which were destroyed by them can ‘be hardly identified. The writer Jeeva Nath himself has been the vic- tim of this irony of fate because even he has not been able to iden- tify correetly the passages which were quoted from the yawanss, weary yorafeareyafega: | fogs ae snftrcara BA sore: wren TAS: 18 11 4.

On the left hand side the second place which bears the sign X is called the Second House. It is named as Kosha, In the same way the various Houses are counted anti clock- wise and the place which bears the sign Z. is referred to as the Twelfth House, ‘Tanu means Jean and thin, emaciated delicate.

The Lords of the Signs: Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Satum and Jupiter, these are spoken of by the ancient Astrologers, respectively as the Lords of the 12 signs Mesha etc. Notes: The signs are twelve in number. The planets are sev- en. The planets who have the nature and disposition in accordance ‘with the sign or signs were declared to be the Lords of those sign ‘The Lords of the various signs are as follows: ‘Names of the signs ‘Lords of the signs Aries ‘Mars Taurus Venus Gemini Mercury Cancer Moon Leo Sun Virgo Mercury Libra Venus Scorpio Mars Sagitarious Jupiter ‘Capricorn Saturn Aquarius Saturn Pisces Jupiter Rahu and Ketu have also been regarded in Predictive Astrolo- fy as planets. In this way the number of planets becomes nine. Some Astrologers give the Lordship of the signs to these planets (Rah and Ket), but some others do not give them such Lordship. The matter of greatest sadness is that those leamed Astrologers who provide these planets the lordship of signs are not of one view, Aacharya Joeva Nath has spoken of the Lordship of these planets in this very chap- ter in Shloka 9 8 Bhav Kutubalamn sargpar VaasyaeniterarsaRe: ofaarsary, ' aerate geigtersst fearoregee! waft gt 6. Determining the Friendship of the Planets: Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are friends of the Sun. The Sun, the moon and Jupi- ter are friends of Mars, Venus’ and the Sun are friends of Mercury Mars, the Sun end the Moon are friends of Jupiter. Mercury and Sat- tum are friends of Venus, Venus and Mereury are friends of Satur. ‘The Table showing the friendship of the Planets ativrat ype Raatsaferer- encontrar ereeraaearaet 11911 7, Neutrality and Enmity Relationship of the Planets: The sun with Mereury, the Moon with Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, Mercury with Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, Jupiter with Satu, Venus ‘with Mars and Jupiter and Satur with Jupiter—these are the neu- tralty relationships of the various planets. the remaining planets are enemy planets. And the planet situated in the 12th, 2nd, 11th, 10th, Srd and 4th House from a planet situated in a House is the tempo- rary friend of him. ‘The Chapter Describing Names 9 Notes: It has not been given in this Shloka as to which of the planets are enemies of a given planet Only this has been point- cd out that the remaining planets are enemies, But it can be easily understood on the basis of this Shloka that Saturn and Venus are en- cmies of the Sun, Mercury is the enemy of Mars, the Moon of Mer- cury, Mercury and Venus are enemies of Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon of Venus, the Sun, the Moon and Mars of Satur and there is no enemy of the Moon. Below is the table showing the neutrality and enmity relationship of the planets.

This Shloka will be beneficial to the reader because he will easily remember on the basis of this small Shloka the verious relationships of the planets to one another which have been given in gest feaqeared wareayaaei: 11 3, TAB 4g, ‘The meaning is, 4th, 2nd, 12th, Sth, 9th and 8th from their ‘Mooltrikona sign and the Lord of a planet’s exaltation sign—these are the friends of a given planet and the Lords of the other signs than these are his enemies. The planets which show both the char- acteristics (that is of friendship and also of enmity) are neutral to 10 Bhav Kutuhalam him. In this way one can understand the natural relationship of friend- ship, neutrality and enmity of the planets. Here is an example which shows how this relationship can be understood. Thus from the Sun's Moolirikona sign Leo, the places giv- en in the Shloka 2-4-5-8-9-12 and lord of his exaltation sign Aries, the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and the Moon become friends to the Sun. And from this very Mooltrikons sign, Leo of the Sun, the other planets than these, the lords of 1-3-6-7-10-I1 Houses, respec tively Mercury, Venus, and Saturn become enemy to him (the Sun). Now we see here that Mercury is both the friend and also the ene- my to the Sun. Therefore, Mercury is neither a friend nor an enemy to the sun. He is indifferent or neutral to the Sun The table of nal- ural friendship may be prepared on the basis of this Sutra or Shloka. relent catia Rrhatet sora’: | faRirfadrat Rea fa daa PA: 1111 afatted garran eft: of aat aa rrr: | ‘Pert core: Prat erghe werk gah yw Hay LE 11 The Exaltation and the Debilitation Positions of the Planets: The Sun has his highest exaltation at ten degrees (10°) of the sign of Aries, the Moon at three degrees (3°) of the sign of Tau- rus, Mars at twenty eight degrees (28°) of the sign of Capricom, Mer- cury of fifteen degrees (15°) of the Sign of Virgo, Jupiter at five degrees (5°) of the sign of Cancer, Venus at twenty seven degrees (27) of the sign of Pisces and Satum at twenty degrees (20°) of the sign of Capricorn.

It has been said by the Munis. ‘Notes: In this Chapter special importance has been given to the Karakas or signifiators, The things which are studied from the As- cendant may also be studied by taking the significators of those things as Ascendants. For example, the 10th House from the Ascendant is studied to know the auspicious or inauspicious effects with regard to father. In the same way the 10th House from the Sun, the significator of father may also be studied for the knowledge of aus- picious or inauspicious effect with regard to father. If this matter is considered in some greater detail, new dimen- sions will open out before us. The meaning is that the 10th House fiom the Sun should be studied for those matters which are studied from the 10th House from the Ascendant. Thus the 10th House from ‘the Sun is to be analysed for the acquisition of state, auspicious, holy ‘The Knowledge of Kastha or Evils to Father and Mother 19 deeds like yajna, ceremonies, status, grandeur, business, honour from the king or governmental favour, governmental work, job or service and magnificence et. ‘This is the statement that is given by Maharishi Parashara at the end of the Chapter of “Varga Vivechanadhaya” or “Divisional Considerations.” aq fataq cert art aeqatg cert a 11 We give two horoscopes to illustrate the statement given above, ‘The first confirms the statement of Pt.

Again this House is aspected also by debilitated Mars. Saturn in his own sign could give the native government service, but because the debilitated Jupiter is situated in this House and the debilitated Mars aspects it, he (Satur) could not encounter these two evil effects and consequently the native had to be suspended. At present the situation is terrible. The native suffered ill repute, decline in respect and living standard. Therefore, it may ‘be said that if the 10th House from the Sun is ill affected all those SS foe em eS a secon ‘Another aspect of the picture has also been seen It is this: in this situation the things that are related to the signficatorship of the planet are also affected.

Notes : There is the word ‘3f¥” (Api) in the Shloka, There- fore, according to Jeeva Nath, the meaning of the above mentioned Shloka is that the native may also die. The Moon is the representa- tive planet of infancy or childhood. Hence, if the moon only becomes 4 prey to extremely evil influences, hope of life in childhood gets ‘extremely weak. The ancient sages of India have accepted the evil influences falling on the Moon as the factor or reason of the native's death in childhood without exception. Acharya (a great scholar and teacher) Vaidyanath says in this connection: “ao dae aft eRreaqeqar: | erearqate: yada aae: 11” That is i the moon is in the 7th, Sth or 12th from the Ascen- dant in Conjunction with malefic planets and is not aspected by benefics situated in other Houses than the Angles, by benefic plan- ‘ts situated in Panphara or Apoklima Houses, she is the giver of death to the native ‘The moon is the factor of the native's mother Extremely evil influences on the moon weaken the vitality of his or her mother. In the present Shloka Pt. Jeeva Nath has not left any bypath for the Moon from which she can get strength. In the helpless situation in which she has been put, declaration of the mother’s death may be 2 Bhav Kutuhalam ‘made with certainty. According to Pt. Jeeva Nath, the following com- binations are noteworthy in connection with the above Shloka i) The Moon is placed between malefics, that is, there are malefies in the 2nd and the 12th Houses from the Moon. In such a situation if the planet posited in the 2nd House is retrograde and that posited in the 12th House is direct the manner of the native's or his ‘mether’s death may be terrible. ii) Malefics are situated in the 4th and the 7th House from the Moon. If benefie planets are situated in an angle from a House or & planet, that House or that planet gets strengthened, However, on the contrary, if malefic planets are posited there-in, that planet or that House gets harmed, Therefore, malefic planets situated in the 4th or the 7th House from the Moon will cause harm to the body of the native and of his mother, iii) The Moon is devoid of strength and is Ksheen or emaciat- ed. We are all well acquainted with this situation of the Moon. Be- sides this, the Acharya has not mentioned of any aspect of a. benefic planet or of a malefic planet on the moon. Therefore, here this mean- ‘ng may be derived that even if there is the aspect of bencfic plan- ‘ts on the Moon in such situation, it will not carry much signifi. ‘cance, and the aspect of malefic planets will naturally cause only hharm. Acharya Vaidyanath has made things about these aspects quite clear in Shloka 35 of Chapter 4 of “Jataka Paarijaata’. He says, “If the Moon is situated in the 6th or the Sth House from the Ascen- dant and is aspected by a malefic, the native dies soon after his birth; if she is aspected by both malefic and benefic planets he gets lon- gevity of four years and if she is apsected only by benefic planets his longevity will be of 8 years.” Our conclusion then is this that the aspect of a benefic planet does not have the ability to relieve the Moon from her own alfictions completely. When we find, through an example, Vaidyanath's statement sur- prisingly true, our reverence for these formulas gets certainly en- hanced The Knowledge of Kastha or Evils to Father and Mother 23, Example No. 3 Date of birth Time of birth Latitude Longitude 171-1955 805 am, 29°.23'(N)77°-01' ©) HOROSCOPE al Here the Moon is posited in the Ascendant in her debilitation sign and hence she is weak and is devoid of her brilliance due to hher nearness to the Sun Malefic planets like Satum and Rahu are also in conjunction with her. There is a malefic planet like Ketu in ‘the 7th House from the Moon. Saturn, the 4th Lord or the Lord of the House of mother is in the Ist House with his extreme enemy, the Sun and hence he is combust. In the event of planetary war he is defeated by the Sun. Therefore, both the Ascendant of the native and the 4th House, the House of the mother are devoid of strength Besides this, there is another reason also—the situation of Mercury ‘between such malefic planets es Mars and Satur. This Mercury is the 8th Lord from the Ascendant and is the 8th Lord from the 4th House also. Therefore, the lords of both the Houses, of the native himself and of his mother, are highly afflicted and the life of the native and also of his mother both are endangered. This is what ac- tually occurred. The native died on the 10th day after his birth and the mother got the benefit of the aspect of Jupiter on the 4th House only for three years as she died after three years “4 Bhav Kutuhalam Fe TSAR Sree RITA | Tay AR weer Gkr Aer wgTERART 1811 3. The Knowledge of Kashta or Evils To Brother: The na- tive in whose horoscope there is the situation of malefic planets in the 3rd) House from Mars sees the certain death of his younger brother. This is the view of the Acharyas Maniththa ete Notes: Mars is the significator of the younger brother or sis- ter and the Third House is studied to know about younger brother or sister. Therefore the benefic or malefic influences falling on the 3rd House from Mars throw light on these relations. If the 3rd Lord from Mars is in his sign of debilitation and if he is hemmed be- tween malefic planets, that is, there are malefics on his both sides, such situation is also indicative of evils to the younger brother. Be- sides this, the weakness of Mars will also contribute evils to the ‘younger brother. arr g wa seg aA AeA eA | er ager ere VM sage TE | 4.

The situation of malefic planets in the 6th House from the House in which Mercury is situated in a horoscope or the aspect of 1 malefic planet on it (the 6th House from Mercury) and the utmost weakness of Mercury—these are all proved to be fatal to the side of the native’s matemal uncle, Here is an example from our own expe- rience The Knowledge of Kastha or Evils to Father and Mother 25 Example No. 4 Date of birth Time of birth Latitude Longitude 18-11-1970 12,00 Noon 27°09" (N)_—_81°.57' ©) HOROSCOPE In this horoscope of Capricorn Ascendant Mercury is in the 1th House in conjuction with the Sun and the debilitated Moon, Mercury himself is in the sign of his natural enemy and there is the debilitated Satu in the 6th House from Mercury.

The condition Isid down in the Shloka is fulfilled because a malefic planet like Mars is there in the Sth House from Jupiter and the conjunction of the Sun with Mars may also be considered sufficiently malefic. But the deficiency that pinches us in this Shloks is this: Should we not give importance to the aspect of Jupiter which he gives to the Sth House from him? It can be said with certainty that his (Jupiter’s) aspect on the Sth House will give it auspiciousness. Therefore when we consider this Shloka we should have in our mind certain other factors also. The Sth House and the Sth Lord from the Ascendant are the other fac- tors of which we should have sufficient knowledge. Here the Sth Lord saturn is in the 8th House in his sign of debilitation and the Sth House has the aspect of Rahu, although it has also the aspect of such 1 benefic planet as Venus.

Besides this, if there is the situation of the Moon together with ‘Malefic planets in an Angle or if there is the situation of the Malefics in the Angles, even then the native dies soon, Notes: Arishta Yogas remain strong since the birth of the na- tive to his 12th year. Therefore, the consideration of the native's lon- gevity is to be done after he has attained the age of 12 years. There is a clear indication to this fact in the first and second shlokas of the 4th chapter of ‘Jataka Parijata’ “TRIER Arora Perak 7 wR nt a far soy aon areata ae: 11 ore ages orrfigaeey gq fansite 1 Tee ag wets St agit aR 11” that is, it is not possible for viviparous creatures (as men are) that Asistha or Evils to the Native 33 their longevity may be ascertained before they attain the age of 12 years. In these years the child may be subjected to destruction be- cause of the sinful deeds of the parents and also becausc of the de- mons called Balagrahas. During the first four years of his longevity due to the sinful deeds of the mother, from 4 years to 8 years due to those of the father and from 8 years to 12 years duc to those of his own (in the former birth) death swallows him and he is destroyed. In order to pacify these evils born of sins Muni Mantréshwara has suggested certain remedies or measures which are as follows: “ager ufone omer] | argent wi Plena ord aret PAfcefePRa we 11” For the pacification of Balarishta every year, on the day of the native’s birth or in the Nakshtra of his birth (on the basis of chandramasa or Lunar month) Japa, haum etc. (ablutions) should be performed and the native’s life should be saved by taking recourse to all possible medical treatment. ‘The word ‘Arishta’ is @ synonym of Keshta, Here “Kashta’ ‘means bodily pain. Death is also possible in this bodily pain. The ‘eight years from birth to the 8th year are called Balarishta; the years from 8 to 20 are called Yogarishia, those from 20 years to 32 years ‘Alpayu; those from 32 to 64 (or 70) years Madhyamayu and those from 64 to 100 years Poomayu, ‘The situation of the planets, due to which the child gets dis- cased or reaches near death or is swallowed by death, is called Balarishta. When the Moon is Ksheen or emacisted or when she is in the 6th, 8th or 9th House, itis called belarishta, and the Arishtas formed due to Tithi, Var and Nakshira etc. (date, day and nakshtra tc.) are called Yogarishtes. ‘The meaning of ‘Sandhys Kala’ is the meeting point of two times, or the end of one time and the beginning of another time. Thus 5 ghatis before and 5 ghatis after the setting of the Sun's disc, this time period is called the Sandhya of the evening time. In the same way, the 5 ghalis before and the 5 ghatis after the rising of the Sun’s dise, this time period is called the Sandhya of the morning time. In this way one Sendhya comprises a time period of 10 ghatis. For the pacification of the Arishtas (Evils), Bhaum Pradosh Vrata (a particu- lar fast) Shiva-archan, medical treatment, giving alms of grains, 4 Bhav Kutuhalam clothes, balances etc. are to be done as per rules prescribed in the Vedas.
