have with me the following versions'

1. Sri Venkateswata Press,Bombay,partly renderedin Hindi'

For a msjority of slokas,one can find Sanskritcommen'
tary only.
 rl

2. Hindi translation by Suaram Jha. (Master Khelari Lal,

Varanasiedition)

3. Hindi transtation by Devachandra Jha (Chaukambha

edi.tion)

4. Hindi transhfion by GanesaDatta Pathak(Thakur prasad

edition)

Afterrcrutinizing critically the .four manuscripts,I .have

for ieasona of more credibility chosen the Sanskritversion
renderedby SitararmJha. Thc Chaukambhaversionis almost
the sameas that of Khelari Lal's.

Othcr versionsthat I havecomeacrossare :

l. Tamil translation by C. G. Rajan-for only 36 cbapters,
without SanskritI'erses.

2. English translationby N. N..K. Rao for only 25 chapters,

witbout Sanskritslokas.

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-
.
astrological information. From chapter 3, tho astiological
information begins. , In tbis chapter, phnetary descriptions,
benefics aod malefics, planetary deities, complexions, s"*,
primordial compounds,seasons, relationships,dignitiesetc. uri
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 astrologi-
call;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 horos-

cope 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
ohangefast,
 l3

The method given by me in working out the future birth

time from the time of coition can very well help the astrologers
to foretell the exact momentof birth from the time of query.
Reseaches revealthat time of query hasa perfectalignmentwith
the time of Nisheka.
Chapter5 toucht-isvarious special lagnas, tike Ghatika
Lagna, Hora Lagna and BhavaLagna. The importanceof these
ascendanss cannot be . underestimated. A final Bhava chart can
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
Dvadasamsa chart no tangibleresuitsdue to the native'sparents
can be known. In decidingone'scareer,the Dasamsapositions
of the planetsare of supremeimportance. Theseare highlighted
in chapter7. In this very chapter the sage enunciates what is
called Vimsopaka strengthof a planet. He assignsa maximum
. 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 instruc-
tions 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-a-
vis natal ascendant also revealscertain specialeffectsas could be
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 u0fortuna-
tely he leavesit at that without addingmuch information.'
For still deeper research,Upapadawill be more effective.
This areawill give moie cluesparticularly about marriage,financo
and.diseases.Seechapter30.
Chapter3l entitled'Argaladhyaya' though brief hasworthy
information on planetary interventions, obstructionsand effects
thereo).
 t5
Significance of planetsis treatedin chapter32.
Karakamsa is the Navamsa Rasi occupiedby Atma
Karaka. Plenetsforming a certainrelationshipwith Karakamsa
and their effects are narrated in chapter33 extending to 99
slokas.
Chapter 34 is againone of the most instructive. Planets
.assumea certaintendencyby virtue of owninga certainhouse.
The sageelaborately touchessuch roles for various planetsfor
all the 12 ascendants. He decideson such principlesthe Yoga
Karakas,Voga Bhanga,Karakasand Marakas for eachascendant'
This will enable us undentand whelher planet will give bene'
ficial resuttsor adverseeffects.Death dealing planetsor Mrakas
allow us to guessthe period of one'sdeath,
'
.d,sthe name implies, chapter35 lists NabhasaYogas which
are availableln most stlndard texts. Many new Raja Yogas
could be found in chapter 36, like Khadga, Mridanga, Chamara,
Kahala etc.
Chapters!7 and38 deal with Lunar and Solar yogaswhich
are popularly known. Raja yogas in chapter 39' Yogas for
royai associationin chapter40, and financial combinationsin
chapter 41 desorvelpecial nention, containing a vapiety of
authoritativeinformatidn
Maraka or deathdealingplanetshavea say on the finances
of the native apart from causing his end' Theseare tersely
entightenedin the 42nd chaPter.
The chapter on longevity,bearing No' 43, is among the
rnost important onss. Pindaytr, Naisargayu,Amsayu and the
like, and computations besed on ascendant/planetary pairs
linking with movable, fixcd and common signs containinstruc-
tive information. If, thp notes,I havetakenPindayucalculations
and worked out a fullfledged example touching all aspectsof
co$putation. I haveadopteda scientificmethodfor deductions
for planetarycontributions arising by placement in bhaias 12
to 7. I havb simply not considered bhava positions
in these deductions but degree-wisepositions of the various
planeti. I have given onecommon formula covering the six
bhavasand the readercan work out the exact lossof longevity.
This can be usefully extened to any loss of years as far as
 16

bhavas12to 7 is concernedin othcr systemlas well. Other

tongevitycalculationshavebeen suitablyannotatedby me.
The readerwill also do well to studychapter44 concerning
Marakas beforehe takesa decisionon longevity. Rahu/Ketu
havealsobeenassignedMarakatwaroles.
The concludingchapterof Vol I is the 45th dealingwith a
number of kinds of Avasthasof the planets' Out of these,tbe
12 Avasthas,known as SayanadiAvasthasare of supremeimpor-
tance. If one tries to interpret theseAvasthasin proper spirit,
he will be ableto detect the diseases the nativewill suffer. I
have supported niy views with the help of information from
Adbhuta Sug"ru of Ballala Sena and Hora Ratna of Balabhadra.
For example,if Mars is in Agamanavastha, one will suffer fronr
deepear pains, . In the normal parlance, we consider only Jupiter
in ine context of ear defects. Diseases of hand and foot are
assignedto venus in Agamanavastha. If one conducts a scien'
tific researchin the matter of diseaseswith the help of planetary
Avasthas,viz. Sayanadi Avasthas,one is bound to reachmany
brilliant clues.
The presentwork offersa vact scopefor suc@ssin predic'
tive astrology. One can build up his own applied astrology
insteadof theoreticalastrologyif he works on the linessuggested
by MaharshiParasara.
A word of cautionis nccessary for the benefitofthe reader,
In order to understand the hidden aspectsof the variousrules
given herein, what is required is a thorough understandingof
theseprinciples. Skipping over fast to an ensuingchaptermay
'present' chapter. To make the
not convey the real ideaof a
reader's Job easier,I have explained every difficult aspect as
clearly as I understandbasedon my own experienceand study of
other authoritative texts'
In the end, I would like to mention that my attempt to
translatethis greatwork andannotatemay not havebeenwholly
successful. I surely would have left some shortcomingsunno-
ticed and unrectified. From the readers,I can onlT expectthe
afrectionof forgiving me for any innocent lapses.

Sun, Saturn, M'ars,- decreasingMoot{, Rahu and Ketu (the

while the rest are benefics.Mercury, however,is a malefrcif he
joins a malefic.
Notes : That decreasingMoon and increasingMoon are
.respectivelya malefic and a beneficis the view conveyedby the
sage.Yct some exponentsand comrnentatorshold the following
view :
When the Moon is aheadof the Sun but within 120",
she has medium strength. Between l20o to 240' she is very
auspicious, ssg qfffiIrlnii]. From 240" to 0" she is bereft of
, strength. This is Yavanas' view, vide P. 70 of my English
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.

above may be invoked to get the respective planets' africtions
cured. For example,evils indicatedby Mercury can be brought
under control by offering prayersto Sri Vishnu Bhagawan.
The namesof the planetary deitiesare additionally emp-'
loyed by Varaha Mihira in selectinga name for the child. The

stronger,the name can havea guttural in the beginningappropri-
ate to the presiding deity. In this case, Subrahmanyais the
deity .and the name can be Kumara (gqn) or Guha (gq).
Similar deductions can be suitably made in other cases. If the

(consistingday and night), Ritu, month, fortnight and year :
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

while Saturnis the only planetthat derives strengthin the west.
The Moon and Venusare endowedwith vigour when in the
north. Again, strong during night are tho Moon, Mars and
Saturuwhile Mercury is strongduring day and night. fhe rest
(i.e. Jupiter, the Sun and Venus)are strong only in aay time.
During the dark balf maleficsare strong. Benefics acquire
strength in the bright half of the month. Malefics and beneicg
are respectivelystrong in Dakshinayana and Uttarayana. The
Iords of the year, montb, day and Hora (planetaryhour) are

55. NATURAL RELATION^SIIIPS.'Notethe signswhich
are the 4th, 2nd, l2th, 5th, 9th and the 8th from the Moolatri-
kona 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 Moola-
trikona. If, however,friendship and enmity occursimultaneo-
usly 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
tfr'eMoolatrikona oi Mars, thus becoming friend and enemy
respectively. Hence he is neutralto Mars.

to the Sun's longitude at a given moment to get the exact
positionof the all-inauspicious Dhooma. Reduce Dhooma from
12 signs to arrive at Vyatipata. Vyatipata is also inauspicious.
Add six signs to Vyatipata to kqow the position of Parivesha'
He is extremely inauspicious. Deduct Parivesha from 12 signs
to arrive at the position of Ctapa (Indra Dhanus) who is
also inauspicious. Add 16 degrees 40 minutes to Chapa which
will give Ketu (Upaketu) who is a malefic' By adding a sign to
Upaketu, you get the original longitude of the Sun. These are
planetsdevoid of splendour which are maleficsby nature and

Notes : The Aprakasa Grahas or upagrahasare to be
calculatedas under basedon the abovefour verses:

4. Parivesha 53020': Indra CahPa
(Indra Dhanus)
. 5. Chapa + 16040': UPaketu(Sikhi)

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
auspici-ous if Pranapadafalls in the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 4th, 10th or
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
Aries 15 degrees,we get 170*15:185 or Libra 5 degrees as
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
(the Sun)+240*170:455 or 95 degrees(Cancer5 degrees) as
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'

chart given, the ascendantis Capricorn-a nocturnal sign and
hencebirth in Libra-a diurnal sign, is justified')

Similarly diurnal sig! can ascend in nigbt time also. If the

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 what-
80ever.
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 accur-
ate 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.

2-3. BHAI/A LAGNA .' From Sunriseto the time of birth
every 5 ghatis (or 120 minutes) constitute one Btava lagna.
Divide the time of birth (in ghatis, vighatisetc.)from Sun-rise
by 5 and add the quotient etc. to the Sun's longitudeas at Sun
rise. This is calledBhavaLagna.
Notes : To work out the various ascendants, asrumethat
the birth is at l2gh 30vi and the Sun's longitude as prevalentat
the time of Sun rise is 4s l2'. Find out the BhavaLagnain the
first instance,as under :
Whenbirth time is divided by 5 we get 2.5 signsor ?5'.
This is to be added to the Sun's longitude as given which is
132". We get 207" or Libra 27' as BhavaLagna.

6-8. GHATT LAGNA (GHATIKA LAGNA)..Now lisren to
the method of working out Ghatika Lagna. This Lagna ctranges
along with every Ghatika (24 minutes)from the Sunrise. Note
the birth time in Ghati and vighatis. Considerthe number ot'
ghatispastas number of Rasisor Ghatika Lagnas.The Vighatis
be divided by 2 to arrive at degreesand minutes of arc past
in the said Ghatika l-agna. The product so arrived in Rasis,
. degreesand minutes be added to the Sun,s longitude as at
Sunrise to get the exact location of Ghatika Iagna. So say
. sageslike Narada.
Notes : Let us find out the Ghatika lagna in the above
examplecase,
Birth time is 12 ghatiswhich gives 12 Rasis. Vighatisleft
are 30 which are to be divided by 2 and treated as degrees.
30 divided by 2 yields 15, i.e. 15". Thus, we note 12 signs
64 Btihat Parasara Hora Sastra

15 degreesto be away from the Sun (as at rise of the day).

When l2s l5o or 375oare added to the Sun (132'), we get 507c

9. USE OF SPECIAL ASCENDANTS.' Keeping the
planetsat birtb as it is, preparevariousBhava charts with respect
to eachspecial ascendantand analyse as done for the natal
ascendant.
Notes : This is a very important clue given by the sage'
We get the 'longitudes of the three special ascendants,viz'
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 proprt-
ionatelyalteredin 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
of the Bhavasphuta(longitude)of thevariousLagnas(i.e.Natal,
Bhava, Hora and Ghatika Lagnas)but within I5", its effectsdue
to the Bhava concernedstart diminishing. Converselyif it is
prior to the cuspbut not beyondl5o, the effectsproportionately
'cusp', the effcctsare
increase. Needlessto mcntion that on the
more revealed. This gives us a clue that longitudearrived iilf

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 thq-
figures. 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
of natal ascendant and Hora Lagna be also taken into consid,
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
point. J

degreeeach): To calculatethe Shashtiamsa lord, ignorethe iign
positionof a planetand take the degreesetc. it traversedin that
sign.Multiply that figureby 2 and dividethe degrees by 12.Add
I to the remainder which will indicate the sign in which the
Shashtiamsa falls. The lord of that sign is the planetruling the
said Shashtiamsa.In odd signs,the namesof Shashtiamsas are :
l. Ghora, 2. Rakshasa, 3. Deva, 4. Kubera, 5. Yaksha,

reverseis the order for evensigns insomuchas thesenamesare
concerned. Planetsin beneficShashtiamsas produceauspicious
resultswhile the opposite is true in caseof planets in malefic
Shashtiamsas.
Notes : The method of calculating the ruling planet for
each Shashtiamsa (or 1/60th pat of asign or 30'of arc) is
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
by l. Thus we get 3. Count 3 signs from Capricorn. The
resulting Shashtiamsapositionis Pisces whoselord is Jupiter.
'These
positionscan also be markedin a zodiac,aldiagram for
the planetsand ascendantfor an easygrasp.

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 divisionsconsid-
ered),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
classifiedas 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. Kalpa-
vriksha,E.ChandanaYana,9. Poornachandra, 10.Uchchaisrava,
ll. Dhanvantari, 12. Suryakanta, 13. Vidrtrma, 14. Sakra-
simhasana,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, Dasama-
msa 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 clarifica-
tion. 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. Kara-
kamsaascendant,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 g-
in 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
designations as detailedbelow :
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.
90 Brihat parasaraHora Sastra
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
6. Kerala 7. Kalpavriksha8. Chandanavana 9. Poornachandra
10. Llchchaisrava ll. Dharrvantari12 Suryakanta13. Vidruma
14. Sakrasirnhasana 15. Goloka 16. Sri Vallabha.
. It may be notedthat mostof eventhe hoaryauthorshlve
not gonebeyondDasaVargascheme. The sagehasfully explai-
ned all the I6 Vargasinvolvedso rhat a planet'sactualdisposit-
ion 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
Moon not bavingorvnTrimsamsds.The Surr can obcupyAries
in Trimsamsasand the Moon canbe ih Taurus lii Venusian
Trimsamsa. They cannotbe itr Leo or Cancer itr Trimsamsa
charts. Henceonly exaltationwill apply to them in Trimsamsa.
'
Now, coming back to the Varganames,qe will take up
some for clarifications. The word "Suryakantamsa"denotes
 Chapter 1 gt
that the planetor the ascendant, as the case may be, has obta_
t-Zgood Vargas in the ShodasaVarga or t6 divisions.

9-12. After assessingthe 20 point strengthof the ascending

beieciared. I explainbelow the methodof knowingthe Vimso'
oaka strength(20 point strength)just by knowingwhich an idea
ii,t. ,.ru-it, of aitions of this birth and of former birth will
clearly emerge. The planets from the Sun on get full strength
when-inexaltationor in own signand are bereftof strengthwhen

Other sources of strength are suggested in slokas1l'16'
Theseare relatedto assess a planett proper dispoSition'
. A planetin exaltationis fully powerfulwhile in debilitation

ation and transitting towardsdebilitation,degreeby degree,its

strengthcliminishesand the planet becomesfully void in the
debilitationsign. Again when it climbsfrom fall to exaltation,
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 rele-
vant 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 reve-
aling 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
is in the first one-tbirdpart of the Hora. The effects will be
mediumor nil accordingto the placementsbeingin the second
or third part of the Hora.

17-19. VIMSOPAKA STRENGTH.' The Shadvargas(six
divisions) consistof Rasi, Hora, decanate,Navamsa,Dvadasa-

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

Notes : A planet away from the Sun is immune to tossof
rays, and can expr€ss 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.

of one born in Scorpio will follow. In this casethereis no
needofany rethinking'
Notes : The area of the horoscope from the 4th cusp to
the l0th cusp via the 7th houseis known as occidcntal(or
western)half while the rest half is oricntal (or eastern)half.
Chapter 9 | 1,3
One born in Scorpio ascendant with malefics in the
oriental half and bhenficsin the occidentalhalf will face imme-
diate death. This yoga is catled as Vajra Mushti yoga by
Yavanacharyas,as quoted by Kalyana Varma' The Moon
should be in the Qccidentalhalf if she is a beqrfic or be in thc
.oriental half if she is a malefic. If Mercury remainsunafricted,
by a malefic, this yoga will not come to pass.

Notes : The prosperity or wellbcing of a housc is assurod
undcr the following conditions :

Nert we zue told of thc conditions under which a house

does not irean thar the bhava sufttrs annihilation. It rnay
bc

look upto alternative sourcesas mentionedeartier. If a malefic
relation is ihere for a bhava,its lord's aspecton it is an
aotidote.
(b) The lord of a bhavajoining a.maleficis a disadvantage
for the bhava. If the saidmalefic is a frierdly planet to the bhava
tord or if they joii in favourablehouses,then the evil ie minimi-'
zed. Evgn if it is an exalted malefic, tben also good effcctsmay
be cxpected.
(c) The .lord of a house in conjunction with the lord of
6th/8th/ I 2th cennot be ."productiveof good. If he himself is en
evil lord, then some relief can be expected.This is mainly from
ayo& point and not in all resPects.
(d) If a planet is defeated in planetary war, its bhava's
potenceis void.
Normally, we are taught that when two planeteare on the
samedegreethcre occursa war and the one with lcsseglongitudc
is declaredwinner. The r into war.
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
Dcccmbcr1925:
Longitude Latitude
Mars 209' 24' 0N2l
Saturn 209'24' 2 N25
He decleres'Saturn as the winner as he has advanced
latitude.
We need not rush to the conclusion that Mr. Rajan's vers:
io_nis contrary to Parasara's.We should appreciatethe pains
taken by Mr. Rajan in throwing more light on the subjeci. He
givesmorc advanccdand sound argumentswhich are not being
reproducedhcrc.for the sakeofachicving brcvity.
 126 Brihat Parasara Hoi.s Sastra
For practical purposes,we are well guided by the claborat-
ion of Mr. Rajan.
(e) The housewhoselord is in Vriddhavastha(i.e. of an
agn0ceq 3gg) F*om_esineffective from the view point of good
results"FpEnfiiIEEIitftFT8'-240 of an odd sign or betiveen
6o and 12" of an even sign is said to be in such an Avastha.
(f) If a planet is in Mgi!rygllA(in extremis) its bhava
wil!-be.destroypd. This state ffis to a planet in the firffif
an evensignor in the last 6" of an odd sign.
(g) Lastly,a planet in

1A. TO BE NURTURED By 3 MOTHERS ; If the Sun

in one Navamsa,the native will be nurturedby 3 differentmot-
hersfor the fiirst 3 months from its birth arrdwill later on be
brought up by its father and brother.
Notes : In my opinion, the Vargothamapositionof the
luminariesin conjunctionseemsto be excepted. They shouldbe
in the samequarter of a constellationand will naturally be in
one Navamsa. This combination obviously implies loss of
motherwithin the first threemonths.

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

that a maleficor a beneficif be in own Rasi or Navamsa,the

Notes : Venus or M in the 2nd will be favourablc

fact in the next sloka' It doesnot meanthat Jupiter, otherwise

so placed and the 2nd is occupiedby a malefic. Therewiil be
penury right from birth and the nativewiil haveto beg evenfor

or be with malefics.
Notes : The lords of itre 2na and llth carrbe jointly

the said
three houses.Simultaneouslythe ind house needsa malefic

make the native extremely poor. Even foo'd is denied

also similarlyplaced. The conjunction of the 2nd lord
with a
Yogakarka,ahhough a malefic, wiil not bc adverse
in the
matter of finacb. On the-contrary it will prove very auspicious.
For example,Mercury, the 2nd lord, ioining Saturn

the lords of the 2nd and llth be relegatedto the 6th/Sthltath
(jointly or separately)while Mars is in the llth and Rahu isin

10. FAME ETC, : If the 2nd lord is in own sign or is
exaltedthe nativewill look after his people,will help othersand
will becomefamous.
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 condi-
tion 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
2nd lord should be in Paravatamsa or in Devalokatnsa, Brahma-
lokamsa, Sakravahanamsa or Sridhamamsain the Dasavarga
scheine. The eorrespondingsuperior Amsaswhcm the entire
Shodasavargaschemeis usedshould be above Poornachandr-
amsa. In the Dasavargascheme,why the sage fixesthe mini-
mum 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
nativewill possessbeautifuleyes. Should the saidplanetbe in
the 6th,8th or l2th, therewill be diseaseor deformityof eyes.
Notes .' "Netresa" denotes the lord of the 2nd, i.e. signifi-
cator 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.

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

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.Alterna-

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.

3. Destructionat onceof coborn will cometo passif the
said 2 planetsare togctherwith a maleficor in a signownedby

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.

4-4t. FEMALE AND MALE COBORN .' If the 3rd lord
is a female planet or if the 3rd house be occupied by female
planets, one will havesisters born after him. Similarly male
planetsand male signsdenoteyou.ngerbrothers.Shouldit be of
mixed nature, coborn of both sexes will be obtained. These
effectsbe declaredafter assessingthe strength and weaknessof
the concerned.
 Chapter 14 t39
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 femalesignsoccu-
pied 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 Brihat Parasarafiora Sastrd
significanceof the planet is lost. If they join in a signwhich is
exaltation/friendlysign for one of tbem,then the significance of
the planetgainsprosperity.

Mercuryis in thc 3rd whilethc 3rd lord and Moon are together
as thc indicttor (Mars) joins Saturn, the cffects are : there
occurredthe birth of an elder sisterand therewill be youngcr
brothers.Further the third brother will die' ShouldMars and
Rahu be conjunctwhile the 3rd lord is in his signof debilitation'
there will be lossof youngcr brothers/sisters while 3 elder
brothers/sisters wereattaincdby the native. Jf the 3rd lord is in
an anglewhile the significatoris exaltedin a trine and be in the
companyof Jupiter, l2 will be the numberof total coborn. Out
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.

14. ADVERSE PLANEZ,S: The Sun in the 3rd will
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

10-14.CONVEYANCES.' If the ascendantlord is a bene-
fic while the 4th lord is in fall or in the llth and the significator
(Venus)is in the l2th, thenative will obtain conveyances in his
l2th year. Shouldthe Sunbe in the 4th house,asthe 4th lord
is exaltedand be with Venus,onewill acquireconveyanees in his
32nd year. It will be in the 42nd yearthat one will be endowed
with conveyances if the 4th lord joins the l0th lord in bis (4th
Iord's) exaltation Navamsa. Anexchange between the llth
and the 4th lords will conferconveyances in the l2th year. A
beneficrelatedto the 4th house(andto its lord) will bring with
him auspiciouseffectswhile a maleficwill produceonly malefic
effects(in respectof conveyances).
Notes : It is not known why the 4th lord shouldbe in fall
for early obtainment of conveyances.This conditionseemsto
be the resultof defectivetext as the next line addsthat the 4th
lord may be in the llth. To me it occursthat the correct ver-
sion shouldreadas : If the ascendant lord is a beneficwhile the
llth is tenantedby Venus and the 4th lord, early obtainmentof
conveyance (around the l2th year)will come to pass. Another
rule given by the sage to get similar effectis an exchange
betweenthe lord of 4th and l lth.
Shoulda beneficbe in the 4th, aspectthe 4th, or is con-
junci with or aspectthc lord of the 4th houie, then the native
will be happywith conveyanccs and be free liom accidentsand
dangers. A malefic replacingthe saidbenefic will causelosses
concerningvehiclesand reduceone to severeaccidents.

1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effectsrelatedto the
5th house.If the lords of the ascendantand the 5th are in their
own signsor in an angleor in a trine, one will enjoythorough
happinessthrough his children. Should the 5th lord be in the
6th, Sttt or l2th, there will be no offspring, Shouldthe lord of
tbe 5th be combustor be with'malefics and be weak, there will
be no children; evenif per chance issuesare obtainedthey will
only quit the world soon.
. Notes : "Suta" in Sanskritusedin compoundword or ag
an adjectivedoesnot excludea femaleissuefor it means"bego'
tten". Thereare howeverspecificoccasionswherethe expression
"son" is exclusivelydenoted by this tgrm. A logical approach
accordingto circumstances is neededin interpretingsuchexpress-
tons.
The conjunctionof the 5th lord with thc ascendant lord in
a good house will ensureearly obtainment of children apart
from happinessthrough them. If they join in an evil house,
they will prove a defectin this respect.

9. Shouldthe 5th housebe ownedby Saturnor Mercury

Notes: "Mandi,' is the word usedin the text which means
Gulika. This identicarityhas beennarratedin aprevious chapter.
Chapter 16 t47

Aspectof Mandi is suggested by the sage. Though there is no

authentic information on aspect of Mandi (and other Upagra-
has),it may be said that it aspectsthc 7th house.
The rule as per the sloka applies to Aquarius, Taurus,
Virgo'andlibra. In the case of the latter two Lagnas, Saturn
though rules the 5th is hetpless obviously becauseof afriction
by Gulika. Otherwise Saturn related to the 5th houseas its
owner will not depriveone of progeny'makinghim go in for an

13. If the 5th lord is with the Moon or be in her decanate,
thc native will bcget daughters,so sayastrologers.
Notes : The 5th lord's joining rhe Moon will confer daugh-
ters (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 decan-
ates are : the first tcn degreesof C-ancer,the secondten degrees
ofPiscesand the third ten degreesof Scorpio. If the 5th lord
occupieea degrecas above,he will fall in the Moon's decanate,
Then thc nativc will obtain daughters.

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 endo-
wed 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 ascen-
dant 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
one after the other as they are born.

. 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 ascen-
drnt bc in a sign of Mars or of Mercury and be aspected
Merury, there will be diseasesof the face'
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
be given to the placementof Mars in own sign. For Aries Lagna,
Mars in Scorpio or for Scorpio Lagna, Mars in Aries and
aspectedby Mercury will not produce the said adversity. unless
Man is seriouslyaffiicted otherwise.

" Mars Diseasesof blood vessels,

" Mercury Bilious disease(like

" Jupiter Freedomfrom diseases.

" Saturn : Windy diseases like rheu-

" Rahu : Danger from the so called

" Ketu : Diseasesof the navel.
" the Moon : Drowning, cough,tuberculosis,

disorders.
Replacing the ascendantwith a ceriain bhava,theseaffiic-
tions to the concerned relativesbe predicted. For example,if
the 6th and 8th lords join the Moon in the 3rd bhava, danger
to cobornby drowning, lung disordersetc. be known. Should
Venus join the 6th and 8th lords in the I lth house; an elder
brother of the native will incur venerealdiseases.
Thus the qluesgiven by the sageshould be extensivelyand
cffectiv"ly applied in regard to diseasesfor the native and his
relatives.
. The affiictions to be causedby the planets,signsetc. have
been rather exhaustivelygivenin the notesin ch. 47 of my
English translation of Saraveli. Though it wasin the context of
death,the samemay be carefully used in knowing diseases as
well. The readermay accordinglyconsult the said Notes.

7-gt. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS .' The native will
befriend barren females(for sexual union) if the Sun is in the
7th. The Moon thereinwill causeassociationwith suchfemales
as correspondingto the sign becoming the 7th. Mars placed
in the 7th will denote associationwith marriageablegirls (or
thosewith menses)or with barrenfemales. Mercury indicates
harlots,mean females and femalesbelongingto traders'com-
munity. Wife of a Brahmin or a pregnantfemale will be in the
native'sassociationif Jupiter is in the 7th. Base females and
females having attained their courses are denotedby Saturn/
Rahu/Ketu in the 7th.
Notes : Any planet in the 7th (includingthe ?th lord, vide
ch. 24, sloka79) is normally indicative of absenceof sterling-
uessin characterin the mattet of sexualunion.
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.

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 ascen-
dant 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.

20 and 32 yearsif the ascendantlord is weakwhile the 8th lord

-lord is in fall while the 8th hasa maleficin it and the ascendant
lord is bereft of strength. Death will be instant at birth if the
8th house,8th lotd and the l2th house are all conjunctmalefics.
Malefic in angles/trinesand beneficsin 6thiSth while the ascen-
dant hasin it the 8th lord in fall : this yoga wlll causeimmedi-
ate end. If the 5th house,8th houseand the 8th lord are all
conjunct malefics, the lifie span will be very brief. Within a
month of birth, death will befall the child if the 8th lord is in
the 8th itself while the Moon is with maleficsand be bereftof

Notes : If the 8th lord is in an angle,the native-willbe

the ascendant(i.e. the 2nd or the 4th from the 9th) while the
174 Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra
9th lord is in debilitation denotespoverty of wealth for the
father. Even if therebe somewealth of the father, Mars in
the l0th/l2th (not being in own houseor in exaltation) will
make the nativc disinherit patrimonyor enter into litigations.
So to say, such patrimony will not cometo the handsof the
native,that too easily.

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 ascen-
dant) 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).

1. Obtainingsonsthat will be inimicalto the native : The
6th housedenotesone'senemies. The planet occupyingthe 6th

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.

of (rarely)acquiringa daughter. Lastly, no possibilityof having

meaningthat the native'swife will brilliantly shinewith chastity
or devotionto husband. Lord Rama's sacredhoroscopeis a
classicexamplehavingCancerascendantwith Saturo, the ?th
lord, in the 4th-of course in exaltation. I do not possess
eventhe slightestcompctenceto saythat the Maharshi,sview is
untenable..
'In
this context, however,I quote a horoscope from
"SaptarshiNadi" (Volume for Tiurus ascendant). The whole
Nadi wasa product of intcrcoursebetweenfour groupsof sages,.
eachgroup havingsevengreat sages,in the benign presencJof
Parvati, a consort of Lord Siva. h, the seminaron Taurus

particrrlar(bearingNo. 25 in thc original volume)wasanalysed
by Parasara himselfas one of the sevenRishisio dialogue. See
the nativity :

Dealing with the above horoscope, Parasaradescribes

lhe native's spouse thus : "she will be somewhat short-
tcmpered. 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
possess many ornamentsand be intelligent. Shewill be modest
and will not haveany desirefor other men (than her spouse,i.e.
the native in que3tion)." This is how sageParasara describes
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, parti-
cularly 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
slokais also rightly interpreted.

Notes : I have observed two salient featuresin the 7th
tord's gcttinginto the 5th house. These are : (l) Delay and
disappointments in marriedlife. The conjugallife seldomproves
happy. (2) Severeaflliction to progenic indications' Either
there will be unhappinesson account of children or lossof
children.
The effects mentioned by the sage, viz' virtues, wealth,
honour and (general) happinesswitl also come to pasS. The
happinessabout marriageand progenywill visibly be absent.

This will furthergrverise to the native'sassociation

Notes : By using the word "ii'qti" in the text meaning
"only", the sagehints that the only possible defect in' the ?th
lord's placementin the 7th itself will be. troubles from windy
diseases (like rheumatism,artheritis elc.).
One undesirable quality will, however, be found in the
native, contrary to no adverse indication in the text, and tbat
is his addiction tg other females. This is an exceptionto Venus

will be addicted to others' housewives.These are additional
efrectsof the 8th lord occupyingthe 9th housein a nativity. In
the caseof a Gemini native,Saturnoccupyingthe 9th house(his
Moolatrikona)will not produce these malefic effects. But his
benefictendencieswill be quite meagre.

This placement of the 8th lord will produce all kinds of

one'sKarmic credit and his strength or his positionin the 8th

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 educa-
tion. 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).

Notes : Beforedbclaringresultsdue to placements of non-

to refer to the sage'sinstructionin the concluding versesof the

I havegiveniu my hotesfor slokas 66-69in ch.3 details
of ownership,exaltationand debilitation signs-for the l0 Upag-

Nataraja'sJetakslankaram. These will benefit the reader to
(or
'Forlordships secondarylordships)
consider of thesealso fer edch'
sign. example, Gulika is 'lord' of Aquarius. Hence in
the caseof a Cancer native, he is the 'qth lord' apart fronr
Saturn'scandidacyfor 8th lordship. Of courseprimary impor-
tancebe 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

results while Yamaghantaka(son of Jupiter) is the gighty

Sun and others
while declaringthe effects due to Ofroiru,
Gulika etc. So to
saythe dispositorsof Dhooma etc. snouio
be scrutinizedto
know the extentof effects. For example
if Gulika is due to
give bad effects,but his dispositori, ,".i1-"rp."ted,
well-placedor
wet-rerated,the evirs are minimised. conversety
if favourable
254
effcctsare due to Gulika etc. the weakncssor advcrseplace-
ment of the respictivsdispositorwill not allow maturity of such
good effects.
Another hint we takp from thesetwo versesis : We should
balancethe results due to Dhooma, Gulika etc. with the
resuttsdue to the planetsfrom Sunto Saturn (and of coursethe
nodes).For example,Gulika is in the llth and good effectsare
due. If a planet posited in the same llth dcnotescontrary
'
results, then the strength of the two will lcad to correct
cstimationof the situation.

68. ASPECTUAL EVALUATIONS .. Deduct the longi-
tude of tbe aspected planet (or house)from that of the
aspectingplanet. Ifthe sum exceedssix signs(or I80 deg)
deduct the sumagain from l0 signs (br 300 deg). Con,,,ert
the latestsum into degreesand divide by two. The resultant
productis Drishti Kona or aspectualangle. If the difference
(betweenaspectorand aspected)is in excessof 5 signs, ignore.
signsand multiply the degreesetc. .by 2 which is the aspectual
value. If the differenceis in excessof 4 signsdeductit from 5

sigps(or 120 degress)and halve the product to be increasedby
30 to get Drishti value. If the diference is above 2 signs
ignoresignsand add t 5 to the degreesetc. to get Drishti value.
If it is in excessof one sign,ignore Rasisand divide thc degrees
etc. by 2 to get Drishti value.

out tbe differencebetweenhim and the aspectedplanet; if the
sum is aboveI sign, multiply the degreesetc. (ignoring sign)
by 2 to get Drishti value. If the sum is above nine sinls, the
'sum

is above 2 signs, the degreesetc. (in excessof 2 signs) be
halvedand deductedfrom 60. tfthe sum exceecrs g signsiaia to

planetaspectedby him. If the resultantsum is 3 Rasis& c or
7 Rasis & c, halve the degreesetc. (ignoring Rasis) and
increaseit by 45. If the sum is 4 Rasis& c or g Rasis & c, the

will be the aspectualvalue. The sum being in conformitywith
others than thesebe treatedas statedearlier.
Notes : Throughout this chapter and others related to
calculationof strengthsof planetsand houses,the term ..Virupa'
Chapter 26 2s7
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 longi-
tude 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.
258 grihat parasara Eora Sastra

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 :

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
'Libra is

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

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
is I Rupa to Jppiter and I Rupa to the respective planet in
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 :
Varsha(Abda) lord : 15 ViruPas
Masa (nronth) lord = 30Virupas'
Dina (day) lord : 45 Virupas
Hora (hour) lord : 60 Virupas
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 astrolo-
gical 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 abbre-
viated 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
I .denot€s 4353. Dividing 4353 by 7, we get a remainderof 6
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
272 Brihat ParasaraHora S.astra

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
himsclf.
. Sun : l.(X[ Rupa
Moon: 0.857Rupa
Mars : 0.286Rupa
.
Merc - 0.429 Rupa
JuP : 0'571 Rurra
Ven : 0.714Rupa
Sat : 0.143Rupa
This strengthis acquiredby a planet due to its luminosity.
The brightestgetsthe highest Naisargika Bala while the least
bright glts ttre leastNaisargikaBala. The Sun is the brightest
amongthe 7 planetswhile Saturnis the darkest. The brightness
ofthe planetscan be guessed from the abovefigures.
This anis independent strength and has nothingto do with
. Kala Bala, and is constant for all nativities and for ever. Hence
no individualcalculations need be done.
NaisargikaBala hasa significantuse in the Shadbala. If
two planets are of equal Shadbala, then the one with higher
NaisargikaBala prevails over the other.

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
(devoidof Rasi)be multipliedby the figure corresponding to the
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 con-
vers€. 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" exclu-
sively denotesthe Padafor ascendant(or Lagna Pada).
Notes : Maharshi Jaimini (author of Poon"a Mimamsa)
extensivelydealtwith this systemof astrologyasgiven in ch. 29-
33 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.

6-7. PADAS FOR PLANTES : Note the posirion o f a
planetand seehow many signsaway is its own sign with refe-
renceto 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 Capri-
gorn to Leo we get 8 signs. Again from Leo we count 8 signs
and reach Pisces which is the Arudba for the Sun. The excep-
tions 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 useGraha-
rudhas. 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.

I-6. O Brahmin, now I tell you about IJpa pada, tho
auspiciousness of which will confer on then ative happinessfrom
progeny, wife etc. The pada of Lagna (i.e. Arudha tagna)
explainedearlier is (of course)of prime importance.Upa pada is
calculatedfor the bhava following the natal ascendant. This
upa Padais also called Gaunapada.o excellentof the Brahmias,
 .,$

304 Brihat ParasaraHora Sasfta

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 con-
and go with-
-out a malefic, one will become an ascetic
junct
a wife. If (in the said circumstances)there be a "benefic
aspect (on upa pada or the related' malefic), or conjunction'
deprivalof sfouse will not cometo pass. In this case,the Sun if
.*ilt.d or ina friendly sign,is.not a malefic. He is a malerlcif
in debilitationor in an enemy'ssign.
Notes : RegardingUpa pada calculations,therc are more
thln two views on the same sloka of Parasaraor an idcntical
Sutra from Jaimini. In our text, the word "qgqq" (Anuchara)
is used which denotes"the house following the ascendantat
birth". some interpretthis as the 5th from ascendantwhile I
feel it shouldbe the housesucceeding the natalascendant, which
is the l2th trousein normal sense.
Howevet,when we studyother commentarieson Jaimini'
(for examplechaukamba Hindi edition), we are taught that it is
an' odd sign
iU. tZrtt housefrom natal ascendantin the caseof
from natal ascendant in the
ur".naing and it is the 2nd house
sign ascending' This argument' meseerhs' is
caseof io
"r.o the l2th or the 2nd from
moresound. Accordinglythe Padafor
pada' tle rules
L"goo is called Upa pada. In calculating Upa
mentionedin verses4 and 5 of the previous chapter be kept in
mind.
Now take the standardnativity. The ascendantis Scorpio'
is
an evensign. Its 2nd houseis sagittariuswhoselord Jupiter
8 signsaway from Sagittarius. Hence we count 8 signs from
Jup-iter(in Cancer). We so reach Aquarius which is the Upa
pada in this case.

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 Upa-
rudha 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 considerablyprot€otthe native
from sucha calamity. And the spouseas a resultwill live udto
an advancedage.

lOth, l2th and 3rd. If the Argala causingplanetis strongerthan
the obetructingone, the former will prevail. .Or if the number
of Argalasare more than the obstructingplanets,then also the
Argala will prevail. If therc are 3 or more maleficsin the 3rd,
they will cause vipareeta Argala(more effectiveintervention)
which will alsobe harmlessand be very favourabre. The 5th is
also an Argala place whirethe pranetin the 9th wifl counteract

limited effects,by two medium and more than two excellent
effccts. Argalasshould be countedfrom a sign or a planet as the
casemay be. The Argata unobstructedwilr be fruitiul while the
one duly obstructedwill go astray. The Argala effectswill
be
derivedin the Dasaperiodsof the Rasi or planct concerned.
'Argala'

Chapter3l 313

The Argala of 4th houseMar$js counteredby lOth houseSaturn,

that of Sun-Mercuryin the 2nd by Venusin the l2th and that of
Jupiterjn the I lth by Moon-Rahuin the 3rd.
As far as the nodesare concerDedthese are calculated in a
a reversemanner. From Rahu, the 2nd horrsecounted in
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.
By way of additional information, seeGocharavcdha and
beneficplacesfor examplefor the Sun which will prove that our
interpretation of Argala obstructedis correct :
I6l0il
F-rt-?--T
In the above figures, thc upper ones denotethe Sun's
favourabletransitsfrom the Moon and the lower ones denote
obstructiveforcesin suchhousesfrom the liloon. For example
the Sun in the 3rd housefrom the Mbon during transit will be
favourable. But his favourabledispositionwilt remain curbed
if simultaneouslythe 9th from the Moon is transitedby another
planet(than of courseSaturn,which is an exception).Again just
314 Brihat Parasara Hora Sanil

as there is Vipareetargala(or Argala itself eliminated), there is

also Vipareeta Vedha. Vipareeta Vedha will proveauspicious
eliminatingthe Vedhaor obstruction.Supposethe beneficeffects
of the Sun in the 3rd from the Moon are being obstructedby
anotherin the 9th from the Moon. The momentanotherplanct
joins the Sun in the 3rd from the Moon, the Vedhain the 9th
from the Moon is off and the Sun in the 3rd proves auipicious
till he hasa comPanion.
In the matter of Argala aird its obstruction, also seethe

planetin the first one fourth part of thc Rasi is countered by
anotherplaccdin the 4th quartcr of the respectiveobstructive
Rasi. Simllarly2nd quarter'sArgala is eliminatedby the 3rd

Notes : We havc learnt that an Argala, for examplein the
4th from a bhavaor a planet is eliminatedby anothelplacedin
the lOth housefrom the original planet/house. Here,the rulesfor
obstruction of Argala are still narrowed down. Accordin$ly,
there are only two circumstances of Argala getting nullified.
Make the sign in which the Argala occurs into four quarters. (of
?" 30' each). Similarly the sign whereobstruction occurs
is also
madein four quarters. If the Argalacausingplanetis in the first
guarter (or first 7" 30' of the sign)while the obstructingplanetis
in the 4th quarter(i.e.22" 30'-30"), the obstructionindeedwill
come to pass. Otherwisenot. So to say Argala will operate
snd the obstructionwill fail. Likewisewhile the Argala planet
is in tbe 2nd quarterof the sign(i.e. 7' 30'-15'), the obstruction
(planetia 15"-22" 30' i.e. 3rd quarter)will combatthe Argala'

ihe Arudha Pada,for the natalascendant, and for the 7th from
both, the native will be famous and fortunate. A malefic or a
beneficcausing unobstructed Argala aspecting the ascendantwill
makeone famous. Similarly aspect on the 2nd house denotes
acquisition of wealth and grains, 3rd house-happiness from co-
born; the 4th house-residences, quadrupeds and relatives; the
5th house-sons,grand sonsand intelligeice,the 6th house-fear
from enemies; the 7th house-abundant wealth and marital
happiness, the 8th house-difficulties, the 9th house-fortunes;
the l0th house-royal honour;the llth house-gains,and the
12th house-expenses. The Argala by beneficswillgive various
kinds of happiness,while benefic effectswill be meddlingwith
maleficArgalas. Argala by both beneficsand maleficswill yield
mixed results.
Notes : For our own benefitwe should understandthe
'Argala' in a suitablemannerapart from the manner the
word
Argala functionsvis-a-visArgala elimination.
l. Argala can be causedby a beneficwhich is known as
Subhargala. This Argala can be from a malefic also, so that
the'beneficcausingArgala stallsthe maleficrole going against
the native. If the benefic'sArgala is obstructedby another,
ihen the beneficwill becomeineffectivein Argala and the first-
nentioned malefic will operatefreely.
2. Atgala can be by a malefic with referenceto a benefic
so that the native doesnot enjoy good effectsdue to the benefc.
316 Brihat Parasara Hora Sasta
This is Papargad(or malefic Argala) If the Argata is eliminated
by a beneficor a nralefic,then again the first mentioned bene-
fic will be at liberty to act accordingto his own disposition.
3. Argala is operablewith referenceto Bhavas(or houses)
as well.

Rule 3 : If two planetsare mutually angular,both being

they will becomecoworkersalthough not placedin angles from

Theserules are exemplifiedin the undernotedcharts' with

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

from the ascendantand in their own signs. Hencethey will act
as co-workerscasringawaymutualenmity. And Saturnalthough
a dire maleficfor Scorpio ascendantwill become a Yogakaraka
by virtue of mutual angularity with the Sun having fulfilled
dignity reQuirements.
In chart 2, Mars and the Sunare in mutual angles from
the ascendant but do not possesany dignity like exaltation' or
own housebut are debilitated. Hencethey will not act as Yoga
giving planets.
In chart 3, both Jupiter and Saturnare not angtlar from
the ascendant but are investedrvith exaltationpositions. Hence
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
of the planetsin the circumstanc$becomesexceedinglyfavour-
able. In the examplechart 1, the Sunis in the l0th withParas-
para Yogakarakaqualification in oppositionto Saturn'Hencethe
Sun will exceedinglyrevealbeneficialresults.Devoid of Saturnor
any other co-worker,the Sun in the lOth will not be that power-
ful. In other words, by virtue of co'workership,the Sun's role
gets immeasurablYfortified.
Thereare someschoolsof thought which do not consider
coworkershipac given in rule 3 above.

3rd younger
-
brothers/sisters,the 5th progenyand the 7th house
Iil,
also said that a planet in the 5th becomesa karaka "ii":
ror wre. ine
significatorsof the housein order are : the Sun,Jupiter,
M;;
the Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiier.'
t;;."ry:
Jupiterand Saturn.
Notes : The karakatwasof eachhouse are better
signified
in ch. I I supra.The readermay consultthe said
chapterai ,*,"1i
Certainindicationsare additionalin the present
case.
The significatorof eachbhavais enunciatedin
sloka 34
above. For an easygrasp,theseare :
1..The Sun Ist house(self,soul, constitutionetc.)
2. Jupiter 2nd house(family,finance,wifectc.)
3. Mars 3rd house(courage,later-bornetc
)
.4. The Moon 4th house(mother)
5. Jupiter 5th house(progeny)
6. Mars 6th house(enemies)
7. Venus 7th house(wife, conjugalblissetc
)
8. Saturn 8th house(longeviry)
9. Jupiter 9th-house(fortunes,religion etc.)
10. Mercury lOth house(honour)
I l. Jupiter llth house(pre-born)
12. Saturn l2th house(expenditure)
Although we haveslatedthe significatorsof
the bhavasto
be certainplanets,erch bhavasignifiesmore than
what is stated
above. In that casethe significatorcan atso be different.
For
example,Jupiter is karakafor the gth house wt icn
neans tr,ai
he is holding the portfolio of the native,s fortunes.
When the
questionoffather arisesfrom the gth house,
the significatorthei
is the Sun. Or take the caseof l2rh house. The
1ienifi;t;; i;
Saturn. The r2th houseindicatesfinal emancipation
as welr for
which Saturnis not the indicator but Ketu.
Thus a detailed
approachto significancethrough bhavasis required.

at all times. A maleficjoining will further increasethe nuisance.
Should Atmakaraka be in Taurus Navamsa, happiness from
quadrupedswill result. Shouldhe be in Gemini Navamsa,the
nativewill be afflictedby itch etc. If he be in CancerNavamsa,
therewill be fcar from wateretc. If he be in Leo Navamsa,
fear will be from tiger etc. If he be in Virgo Navamsa,.itch,
corpulence,fire etc. will causetrouble while in Libra Nav4rnsa,
the Atmakarakawill make one a trader and skilful in making
robesetc. Scorpio Navamsaholding the said planet will bring
troubles from snakesetc. and also affiiction to mother's breasts.

9-ll. O Brahmin, if there be onty benefics in the
Karakamsaand the Navamsaof Lagnaand be aspcctedby bene-
fics,the nativewill undoubtedlybecomea king. Should the
angles/trines from the Karakamsabe occupiedby benefics devoid
of malelicassociation, the nativewill be endowedwith wealth
and learning. The combrnationof benefic and malefic will in
this c:ontextyield mixedresults. If the Upakheta(or upagraha,
vidc sloka5 ch. 32) is in its cxaltationsign, or own/frienlysign,
and is devoido f malefic aspect,thc nativc will go to heavens
after death.

still lessereffectsin this respect. Should Jupiterbe alone in the
said house,one will be a knower of everything,be a writer, and
be versedin Vedasand Vedantaphilosophy, but not an oratorian
or a grammarian.Mars in this respectdenotesa logician,Mercury
a Mimamsaka(follower of Mimamsaphilosophy,one of the six
chief systemsof Hindu philosophy), Saturn one dull-witted in
the assembly,the Sun a musician, the Moon a follower of
Sankhya Philosophy (of sage Kapila enumerating 25 true
principleswith emphasison final bliss),and versedin rhetorics
and singing,and Ketu or Rahu an astrologer. Should Jupiter

If the 9th from Karakasmsais aspectedor occupiedby a benefic,
the nativewill be truthful, devotedto eldersand attached to his
own religion. If a maleficis so relatedas above, one will be
attachedto his religion in boyhoodbut will take to falsehoodin
old age. If Saturnand Rahu are so relatedas above, one will
betray his eldersand be averseto ancient learning. If Jupiter
and the Sun are so relatedas above,one will betray his elders
and will be disobedientto them. Should Mars and Venusbe so
relatedas above,and joining in six identicalvargas,a femaleill-
relatedto the native will die. Mercury and the Moon so related
will causeimprisonmentof the nativedue to associationwith a
femalenot of his own. If Jupiteris alone related to the 9th

on good accountwhile a maleficwill causebad expenses.If the
said l2th be vacantthen alsogood effects(in respectof expenses)
will follow. If there be a beneficplanetin exaltationor in own
housein the l2th from Karakamsaor if Ketu is so placed and
aspectedby or conjuncta beneficone will attain heavensafter
death. one will attain final emancipationif Ketu is in the l2th
(from Karakamsa)identical with Aries/Sagittariusand is
aspectedby a benefic. If Ketu in the l2th from Karakamsa
and be with aspect/conjunction of a malefic one will not attain
final emancipation. If the Sunand Ketu are in the said l2th the
nativewill worship Lord Siva. The Moon and Ketu in the
said l2th denOtes a worshipper of Gauri (a con-sort of
Lord Siva) Venusand Ketu in the said l2th denotesa
Chapter 33 337
worshipperof Lakshmi (a consortof Lord Vishnu)and a wealthy
person. Mars and Ketu in the said l2th denotes a worshippcr
of Lord Subramanya(an offspringof Lord Siva). Rahu in the
l2th from Karakamsawill make one worship Durga or some
meandeity. Ketu alone in the said l2th denotesSubramanya's
or Ganesa's worshipper. If Saturn is in the said l2th in a
malefic'ssign one will worshipmeandeities. Venusand Saturn
in the said l2th in a malefic's sign will also make one worship
meandeities. Similar inferencescan be drawn from the 6th
Navamsacountedfrom Amatya Karaka's Navamsa.

O Brahmin, if therc are two maleficsin a trine from Karakamsa,
the native will have knowledge of Mantras (sacred spells) and
Tantras (mysticalformularies for the worship of deitiesfor attain-
ment of super-humanpowers). If a malefic simultaneously

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,
the significance will be in' the ascendingorder. The 8th lord is
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 lesssigni-
ficant 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. KcnrlradhipatyaDosha: This blemishgoesto naturalbene-
fics 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 disad-
vantageous. For Libra ascendant. Satrunis classifiedas 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 capri-
corn asccndant by virtue-ofangularlordshipis not that,up.iio,
because he doesnot simultaneously own a trine. Sirnilarlyhis rote
for Aquariusascendant.weak Moon by virtue of angularlord-
ship 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 uninteirup-
tedly. . venus becoming rord of 7th or l0rh wil give generar
happiness ifthe occupiesan angleor a trine.
4. Lords of 3rd, 6th and llth are classifiedas evil planets
while the lords of 2nd, l2th and 8th wifi act accordingto asso-
ciation. If these lords simultaneousryown such another
house,they will be significantlyharmful. If sucha planet simult-
aneouslyownsa 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 Moolatri-
kona 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
wilt move inthe ascending order. To wit, the llth lord is the
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 consi-
der Saturnfor Aries ascendant, he getsone best house and one
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 succe-
eding verses.
10. As far as Rahu and Ketu are conccrned,they act
accordingto their position,associationand dispositors,ride verse
16 infra.

$-rc. NATURAL BENEFICS AND MALEFrcS.. Jupiter and
Venusare beneficswhile the Moon is mediocre in beneficence.
Mercury is neutral (i.e. a beneficwhenassociated with a benefic
and a maleficwhen relatedto a malefic).Malefics are the Sun,
Saturnand Mars. Full Moon, Mercury, Jupiterand Venusare
strongerin the ascendingorder Weak Moon, the Sun, Saturn
and Mars are stronger(in malefic disposition) in the ascending
order. In revealing maleficencedue to angular rulership, thJ
Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venusare significantin the asc"n-
ding order.
Notes: Jupiter and Venusare first ratc beneficswhile the
Moon is next to them. The Moon's variable dispositionshave
beengivenin the earlierpages.Mercury is neutral, i.e. a benefic
in relationto a beneficand is a maleficin relation to a malefic.
He has no dispositionof his own. If he is atone,he will be
favourable.consideringthe Moon and Mercury in beneficclasses,
the four planetsviz. Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venusare
superiorin the ascendingorder.That is Mercury is more bene-
ficial rhan Moon, Jupiter is more beneficialthan Mercury and
venus is the highestbenefic.However,some exponentshold the
view that Jupiter is the highestbenefic,see,.Subhanampotih',
As regardsmalefics,the Sun,Saturnand Mars comeunder
this classwhen the nodes are excludedfor they do not bave
their own disposition.Here again,the sun is the reast maleffc,
saturn is rnoremalefic than the sun; and Mars is the highcsi
maleficas againstthe Sun and Saturn.

16. RAHU & KETU : Rahu and Kctu give predominently
the effectsasdue to their conjunction with a house lord or as
duc to the housethey occupy.
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.

19-22.PLANETS & ARIES ASCENDANT : O Brahmin,
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
is,hissecondarysign. He will hencepredominanllybc favourable
He cannotbe independently auspiciousbut canhetpanotherfavo-
urableplanetlike the Sun or Jupiter or eventhe Moon through
wbgT he will revealhis good quarities. It is atsonot illogicario
concludethat if Mars is well relatedto Jupiteror the Sun or the
Moon and is in good bhavas, favourable effects will come
throughhim.
 348 Brihat parasaralIora Sastra
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
with primc emphasison his Aquariusowneruhip.

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
*vrrrq-for Scorpio ascendantthere is no blemish (to ivlars)of
the 6th lordship and also for Taurus ascendant(in the caseof
Venus). Sale Parasara apparently took into serious consi-
deration 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
 Chapter 34 g4g
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,
. he is only of mixed nature for Taurus ascendant and he is not
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-

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 place-
ment 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
end llth and hencg he is a malefic. The Sun owningthe 3rd
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
as a killer. The Sun is the lord of tbe 2nd and Saturnrulesthe
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 Brihat parosara Hora Sasfta
equallyominousas the 2nd and l2th comeunderhis regent.The
3rd and lOth lordship (a bad houseand an anglerespectively)
makesVenusunreliable.
Mars is again the bestpranetfor Leo ascendant foilowed
by favourablerolesto.be enactedby Jupiter and the sun. Mars
rules the 4th and 9th; Jupiter the 5th and gth and the Sun
ascendant. Here again,the Sun is the 3rd in ordcr.

31-32. VIRGO ASCENDANT.. Mars, Jupiter and the
Moon are malefics while Mercury and Venusare auspiciorrs.
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.)
Jupiterrulestwo angres-the 4th and the 7th-while the " 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.

33-34. LIBRA ASCENDANT : Jupiter, the Sun and
Mars are malefics. Auspicious are Saturn and Mercury. The
Chapter 34 3s3
Moon and Mercury will cause Rajayoga. Mars is a killer.
Jupiter and other malefics will also acquirea' dispositionto
inflict death. Venusis neutral. Thus shouldbe known about
Libra ascendant.
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
to one schoolof thought.

9th) are termed the bestyogakarakas. Jupiter though ruling
the 2nd (and the 5th), is auspiciousjust as Mercury for Taurus
ascendantruling the 2nd and the 5th. (of courseMercury's
Moolatrikona is the 5th ) Venus, Saturn and Melcury are
malefics as well as death'dealjng planets. Saturn can be
practicallyauspiciousif he is in the 5th/9th, beinglord of an

inauspicious. Mars and the Sun are auspicious. The Sun and
Mercury are capableof conferring u yo[u Saturnis a killer.
Jupiteris neutral. venus acquireskilring powers. 'fheseeffects
are for Sagittariusascendant.
Notes : Venus is a first-rate malefic for Sagittarius
ascendantas he owns the 6th and llth. The sagehints
that
none is akin to venus in giving mareficeffectsfor this ascendant.
S-aturnis straightawaya killer, ruling the 2nd and the 3rd.
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
ascendant,Jupiter is consideredinauspicious. This
supreme
role of Mercury is possiblybecause of his ownershipof th; lOth
house(moolatrikonaand hence predominant against7th house
ownership)whereasJupiter doesnot own Moolatrikona identical
with the l0th house:best of the angles_for an ascendantruled
by Mercury. If the Sun (ruler of ihe 9th) joins Vf"r.ury,
Uotn
of them will confer stil superioryoga for sagittariusnatives.
-(mootatrrllnaj
Mars gives primarily his 5th house effects
sheddinghis l2th lordship and henceis a favourableplanet.
Jupiter is neither a first-rate beneficnor an adversary
for he
own-s (angular lordships blemish). The Moon
-the 4th rufing
the 8th cannot be a powerful yogakaraka unless
well-retateJ
to Mercury, the Sun or Mars. An associationbetween
the
Moon and Jupiter can confer a yoga par excellence..

being his important house. The Zth lord Moon is not quite a

Saturnand the Sun are neither very favourablenor very
adverse. Saturn will rweal killing powersif he joins fupitei
Mars or the Moon. While Venus and Mercury Uoi-f,
'auspicious
in their own way, the former is the bestyogakaraka

auspicious.

and Mars are killers. Mercury givesmeddtingeftlcts.
These
effectsare describedby tbe teainJa for Aquarius ascendant.
Notes: The 2nd and llth lordJupiterisadiremalefic
followed by the Moon (the 6th lord) and Mars (ruringthe
3rd
and l0th). while venus and saturn are both auspi-cious for
Aquarius ascendant, Venus is the only planet thai can
be
consideredto have beenvestedwith powers of Rajayoga. Saturn
isnot comparedto venus as he owns the r2th iititur-n"oeourry.
venus is the rord of the 4th and the gth. As the gth is the best
trine, he is relievedof blemish due to angularlordship.
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
3rd are also killers. out of tbe 3 kilrers, Mars is the la'stin
order. A strong relationship betweentwo or all of thesethree
killers will affect the rongevity to declineseverely. Mercury
ruling the sth and the gth will give mixed results. If Mercury
joins an adverseplanet, he wili be essentiaily
adversewhile in
 356 Brihat ParasaraHora Sastra
joining Venusor Saturn,he can considerably improve. Alonc
in bad houses,he will be evirand in good houseshe wil be
favourable. This is how Mercury'srole for tbisascendant

be undcrstood.

43-44. PISCES ASCENDANT.. Saturn, Venus,the Sun
and Mercury are malefics. Mars and the Moon are auspicious.
Mars and Jupiter will causeI yoga. Though Mars is u kitt"r,
he will not kill the native-(independentry). saturn and Mercury
are killers. Thus should be judged
.the effects for a pisces
native.
Notes : saturn ownstwo evir housesfor piscesascendant.
Hence he will reveal himserf most awefuly. venus rules thc
3rd and 8th--again two evil houses. And hence he is not a
favourable plariet. The sun ruling the 6th will prove adverse
though he has good termswith the lord of the ascendant,Jupiter
Mars is the lord of the 2nd (Mooratrikona) and the 9th (the
bestof the trines). Inspite of owning a killer-irouse,tre has bleir
specifically erempt from acting as a kilter independentlyand
placed in the yogakaraka list. To be a killer, Mars must be
instigatedby anotherkiller. viz. saturn or Mercury. Jupiter is
I very favourable planet (of course next to t"turr) o*oiog tn"
ascendantand the l0th. Though there is no specific meition
of venu becominga killer in suchrote can be sein in him as he
owns the 8th house.

45-46. GENERAL .. Thus the auspiciousand inauspicious
effects derivable through the planets du. to their lordships
according to the rising sign be estimate,J. Apart, the effects
Chapter 35 35?
duc to Nabhasa yogas ctc, be atso known which I natrate as
under.
Notes: The good disposition, bad dispositionand killing
powers of the various pl4pets are assignedby the sageon a
particular understandingof lordships etc. for each of the 12
asccndants.From the current two verses,we take an important
clue about the final role of a planet. To wit, if a planet is
constituent of a favourabteyoga, like, say, Daamini Yoga (one
.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.

also cause Asubha yoga. One born in Subha yoga wiil
be
eloquent,charmingand virtuous whire his counterp-art*ilr u"
sensuous, 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
1,! : a happy life, health, wealth,
_effects
longevity,fame etc Theseadditionaleffectswill not rurrv .uiuri
by a single ordinary benefic in the ascendant.
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
the
368 Etihat ParasaraHora Sastra
two
lzth. This neednot bc dubbed as Asubha Yoga' These
maleficshavetheir own meritsand will prove favourable the
to
native.
This extensionmay wisely be madefor every yoga-good
the
or bad-and in every context throughout the analysisof
geniture. Only then willan agreeablepicture emerge'

3-4. GAJAKESARI YOGA .' Shoutd Jupiter be in an
anglefrom the ascendantor from the Moon, and be conjunctor
by (another) benefic,avoiding at the same time debilit-
ation, combustionand inimical sign,Gajakesariyogais caused'
"rp'..t.d
One born in Gaja Kesari yoga will be splendorous,wealthy'
please
intelligentendowedwith many laudable virtuesand will
the king.
Notes I The Parasari type of Gaja Kesari Yoga is
constructedon a differentfooting' That Jupiter-Moon should
be in mutualanglesis a normallyacceptedyogaunderthis name'
In my opinion this kind of angularity cannotyield supreme
effects.The caseof mereof Jupiterbeing in exaltationin a lunar
angle can better be known as Pa:rchaMaha PurushaYoga'
spJcificallyHamsa Yoga. In other cas€sthe angularity between
point of
tile two neednot be giventhe nameGaja Kesari' In
fact, the Moon-Jupiter mutual angular placement is called as
simply KesariYoga, vide Phala Deepika, Ch' 6, sloka 14 etc'
Thcetrectsgivenare:"Thenativewilldestroythebandofhi-
will
eneties. fre will be a lofty speakerin an assemblyand
servea king. He will l'e long lived and famous' He will be
intelligent".
Referringto JatakaParijata,thereare two kinds of Gaja
Kesariyogasmentionedtherein.Thefirstkindisformedb
Jupiterbeing in an anglefrom the Moon' This is the common
be
lype of vogi. Second alternative is : The Moon should
asbected by Mercury or Venus or Jupiter while the aspecting
planet is free from debilitation and combustion'
 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
tuggcstedabove will give wcalth, fame etc. in the Dasa periods
of Jupiter, Moon and planetsrelatedto them. Therc is also a
school of thought that onc born in Kesari yoga will bc rich in
tbe dasaof Vcnus.

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

Amala yoga will confer fame lastingtill the moon aod starsexist
and will make the native honouredby the king, enjoy abundant
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
name and fame lasting for dccadesand decades. Wealth is not

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$ical authors.
l. According to our version, there need be beneficsin
angleswhile the ?th and 8th are unoccupiedor bc in oocupation
by bencfie alonc. Then the yoge formed is known as Parvataa
yogE.
2. The Tamll edition of ParasaraHora (translatedby C.G.
Rajan) has this yoge in two manners : That is, Beneficsin
angles aod 6th and tth. Alternatively beneficsehould be in
anglesand 9th.
3. Thc Sanskrit edition of Sri VenkateswaraPressgivesthis
yoga apin in two forms thus ; (l) As per our version. (2) The
lords of thc ascendantand of the l2th in mutual angles and be
aspectedby friendly Planets. Thesetwo are exactly followed by
Sata Yoga Manjari (English translation by Prof. B. S' Rao).
4. Whereas the Sanskrit text of Sata Manjari Raja yoga
(Hindi translation by Pt' G.K. Ojha) puts it thus : The
dispositorof ascendantlord should be in his own sign or in his
Mootatrikma sign which is identicalwith an aogle or a trine
reckoned from thc asccndant. Phele Deepila exactly describes
this yoga in this very manner
5. Coming to Jateledesa Mlrgl, we find yet another
versiontbus : If the ascendant,4th, ?th and l0th are occupied
by planetswhile the 8th and l2th are unoccupied,Parvata Yoga
oocurs. There is no mention of beneficsor maleficsin angles.
That ig thesehousesshouldremain occupied. Horasara(p. 233)
hasan identical version.
6. Chaukambtiacdilion hasit as given by C G. Rajan's
first mentioned yoga.
7. The edition ofThakur PrasadPustak Bhandardescribes
tbis yoga as per our version.
 Clapter 36 n3
8, Now see Jataka Fari$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,
auspiciousness,benevolence and kindness.
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.

This yogaalso occursif two.beneficsare in the ascendant,or 9th,
or lOth or 7th. The effectsof ChamaraYoga are : the nativewill
be a king or honoured by the king, long-lived, scholarly,
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.

is known as Sankbe yoga is produced, Alternatively if the
Chapter 36 fl5
ascendantlord along with the l0th lord is in a movabb rigo as
the 9th lord is strong, Sankhayoga is obtained. One born with
Sankha yoga will be endowed with wealth, spouseand sons,

Venus,Jupiter and the lord of the ascendantare in an anglc
while the 9th lord is strong. The resultsof Bheri yoga are the
native will be endowedwith wealth, wife and sons,be a king, be
famous, virtuous and endowedwith good behaviour,bappiness

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.

2t-2). MATSYA YOGA.. Benefics in the 9th and the

8th-this array of planets at birth will produceMatsyayoga.
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 beneficsindividu-
ally. 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 Brihai parasara Hora Sastra
ln the abovccase, Saturn ruies the 7rh house and is

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 eval-
uation 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 exalta-
tion. 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.
'
Chapter 39 t89
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
anyRajayoga in thc horoscope
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.

6-7 MAHA RAJA YOGA .. Should the ascendantI ord
and the sth loid exchange their sigus or if Atrna karaka
and Putra Karaka (Chara) are in the ascendant,the 5th,
exaltation sign, own sign or own Navamsa m aslrcct to a
benefic, Maha Raja yoga is produced. The native so born
will be famousand happy.
Notes : An exchange between the ascendant lord and
the 5th lord will bestowa supremeRaja yoga on the native.
For example in the caseof a Pisces-born,Jupiter in the 5tb
and the Moon in the ascendant.
In the second stage,the Atma lkraka and Putra Karaka
(Chara) are brought in the picture. They can be jointly in
the 5th or in the ascendant(or in Karakamsa Lagna and
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
3m Brihat Parasara Hora Sasfia
(13'll'). It may be noted that Saturn is in the ascendant
while Mercury is in the 5th lifting the native to Himalayan
heights through the said Maha Raja yoga. Atma Karaka
Saturnis in his own Navamsa and Merury is in tbe lOth from
KarakemsaLagno.

Notes : If the ascendantlord himself becomesthes*trdt
Kantka his merc placement in the ascendantitself or in

the Atma Karaka is in the ascendant while the ascendant
lord Moon is in exchangewith him in the 7th. The Moon is
favourably aspected by 'yoga karaka Jupiter from the I lth

ant and in the 5th from Karakamsaascendant.(Arudha ascend-
ant is also known as Arudha Pada,vide ch. 29 supra.) Being
placedso, Venus must be related to the Moon or Jupiter by
aspect/association.
Taking the examplechart given in ch. 29, we find Venus
is in the Karakamsaascendantalong with the MooD (the Atma
Karaka). The native is thus related to people with high social
statusthrough his professionalsphere.

mid-dayor from mid-night is auspicioustime. A birth durlng
cuch an auspicioustime will cause one to bc a king or equal

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. Need-
lessto 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.

Notes : Amatya karaka is the immediate Euc@Esorof
Atma karaka as we have seen earlier. The lord of the sign
occupied by Amatya Karaka should aspect or join the' 10th
lord counted from the ascendant;the native will then enjoy a
high governmental position. The Amatya karaka taking the
role of his dispositor in the abovecasOwill as well yield similar
effects.

Varga schemealso can be applied to the rulc given hercin with

suitablemodification proportionately.
'
Lords of anglesare tho.se ruling the ascendaot, thc 4th,
the 7th and the l0th. Their' divisiooal dignities are discusccd
in the presentgroup of verses. One of the said rulers having
various dignities will yield tbllowing effects.
Parijatamsa liberal
Uttamamsa highly liberal
Gopuramsa endowed with prowessand manli-
ness
Simhasanamsa honourable(prominent etc.)
Paravatmsa valorous
Devalokamsa head of men, leadcrship,high posi-
tion etc.
Brahmalokamsa' sagely(spiritual achievemenBetc.)
Iravatmsa delighted, ever happy etc. and bc
a celebrated personality from all
viewpoints.
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
sameorder.

20.22. EFFECTS OF sth LORD'S DIVISIONAL
DIGNITIES .' If the 5th lord is in Parijatamsa,thc nativc will
take to thc branch of learningbefitting his race, if in Uttama+sa
he will have excellent learning, if in Gopuramsahe will rec'
cive world-wide honours, in Simhasanamsa he will be endowed
 408 . Brihat parasara Hora Sastra
with ministership, in also paaravatamsa endowed with
knowledgeof Supreme Spirit; in Devalokamsa he will be
a
Yogi (i.e. a performerof actions, worldly and religious
Yr1o1
rites), in Brahmalokamsadevotedto the Lord and in Iravatimsa
pious.
Notes : While the four angularlords are treatedin oneand
the samebreath,the sage gives specialimportance to the sth
and 9th lords individually.The effectsmay suitably be under-
stood basedon the explanations givenfor angularlordsabove.

23.27. EFFECTS oF 9th LoRD,s DIVBI7NAL DIGNI.
TIES : If the 9th lord is in parijatamsa,
the nativewill visit holy
places,if in Uttamamsahe had done so in the past births as
well, if in Gopuramsahe rvill perform sacrificialrites, in simha-
sanamsahe will be mighty, truthful, bc a conquererof his senses
and will concentrateonly on the SupremeSpirit giving up all
religions, if in Paaravatamsahe will be the greatesof ascetics,
if in Devalokamsa he will be an ascetic holding a
(qTS) or a religiousmendicantthat has renouncedail mundane "udgei
attachEentsand carrying three .long staves tied togetherin his
right ha-nd(filEfq) and if in Brahmalokamsahe *,iil perform
Aswamedha yaga (Horse sacriftce,)and will attain the state of
Lord Indra (god of gods). If the 9th lord is in lravatamsathe
personborn will be a synonym of Dharma or virtues just
as
Lord Sri Rama and Yudhishtira (the eldestof pandavas).
Chapter 4l 409
Notes : The 5th lord has beenpsed in spiritual and mate-
rial 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 think-
ing 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
ftrama Hamsa, Maharshi Ramana, Sankaracharyas of various
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
anglesare known as Vishnusthaana (i.e. housesof Lord Vishnu)
while the trines are called Lakshmi sthaanas(i.e. houses oi
41 0 Brihat Porasara Hora Sastd
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-aksh-
misthaanas. 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 betweenthesetwo tords.
2. Mutual aspects betweenthesetwo lords.
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
Eeento dccidethe extent ofeffects due as could be seen in the
following six verses.

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 eleph-
ants,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 Raja-
yogarelationshipof 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
and in Paaravatamsa, Manu etc. were born. The Incarnationsof
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. Manu-
smriti is ascribed)wereborn.
Notes : The two planets,viz. anangularlord and a trinal
lord with such a relationship, should be simultaneouslyin
Parijatamsa.One in Parijatamsa and the other in a still higher
Amsa will yield still better effects.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 state-
ment 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
Salivahanaand not a successor of Bhattotpalaetc.
MaharshiJaimini,author of PoorvaMimamsaand propag-
ator 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:
q4: frcreql aqm) qffisfa crrsn : I '
ficc] {Tts} TqTqttfsfg<rfl<: tt
qlq{r: qlqsrs'iq iqqq} qfi} qg; I

This is again a proof that our sage was indeed a sageof
Mahabharataera and is an authority with crown for Kali ypga
sstrology.

also considered.For example,211 32'49" is converted into

Vyayadi Haranafigures are : full, half, l/3, ll4,lli and l/6h
accordingto the planetbeingin l2th, llth, l0th,9th, gth and
7th. These are for maleficplanetswhite a beneficin this con-
nection 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
to his actualdegreewise placement.It.should be full at the l2th
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
a benefic(i.e. Jupiter,"Vdnus, Mercury and the Moon). With-
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 :
tct
:loss of years
(14-House) - (oe+tsL)
(DP:Distance of planet from bhava start; BL:Bhava
length and 'House' is the bhavaoccupiedby the planetunder
re{tific8tion.
To understand this forftula, we will rectify Saturn's
contribution He is in the 8th bhava and hence attracts
tbis reduction. He is in Gemini 3-9-41 whilethe 8th house
beginsin Taurus at 15-48-15and endsat 15-47-38in Gemini.

Saturn is 12.3979years. He is l7,3i72degreeraheadofthc

8th bhavabeginning. Thcrefore,his reduction is :
12 3979 :2.2869 years

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
of the 7th bhava. others that attract this check arc : Thc sun,
the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. The figures for these
planetsbasedon the presentformula are :
Venus (7th bhava) : 1.4533years
The Sun (7th bhava) z 2.7939yearc
The Moon tTth bhava) : 1.8636years
Satqrn (8th bhava) : 2.2869 years
.Vlars (9th bhava) z 1.9472 years
Jupiter (lOth bhava) : 1.9314 years
4. Kroorodaya Harana : Only malefics (i.e. Saturn, the
S,rn and Mars) entail this check if in the ascendant.
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 contributionunder-
goes no check.
Now we are ready for final reductions. 'There are
3 planetsin 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
Chapter 4i 42s
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
the final contributionsmay be notedas below :

Planet Basicyrs. Reduction Reason Net yrs.

Sun t7.5642 ll3rd Rule 2 l1.7095

Moon 24.6247 ll2 Rule I 12.3124

Saturn t2.3979 8th bhava Rule 3 l 0 . lr l 0
Lagna 3 2428
Total : 822502

Theseyearsare in Savanamana (360 days a year) as we

have used 360' of tbe zodiac. To apply this to Gregorian
calendar, we have to convert the same into Sauramana.By
'simply multiplying the said figure by. 0.9856034,we can get
Sauramana. Thus in the caseof our. example, we arrive at a
net longevityin Sauramanaas 81.06years.
The dasa period so obtained are Pinda Dasa of the
7 planetsand the Lagna.Il the Sun is strongestin the horoscope,
effectscan be worked out on Pinda Dasamethod.

also contributes in Nisargayu. The method of its contribution
in Nisargayuis also the sameas secnin Pindayuscherne.

warranted, only trebting be done. In caseof reductionsalso,
only halvingis to be doneif both halvingand reducinga third

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
tbe natal ascendaotand Hora ascendant on yet the other hand,
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
the natal horoscope. lf she is in the ascendant or in the 7th,
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.

4l-44. FURTHER CLARIFICATIONS.' If long life is
denotedby all the said three groups, the span is 120years,if

years.If mediumlife is arrivedat.by threegroups,it is 80 years,
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
I pair -96 years
Chapter 43 433
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
i.e. short life. Two pairsindicateshort life, 36 years will
be the basiclongevity.
This basiclongevity will have to be rectiGedfurther as per
the instructionsgiven in the following verses.

2-5. O Brahmin,the 3rd and 8th are the two housesof

of these,i.e. the 2nd and'7th are Maraka houscs.
Notes : The 3rd houseis alsoa houseof longevityas it is
thc 8th from the 8th. The 2nd house-l2rh from the 3rd-and
thc 7th house-l2th from the 8th-are two principle Maraka
houses. Thc lordq of these houseswill also acquire such
qualitieogiving life or taking away life.

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

Chapter 44 441
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 : occu-
ponts 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
Chapter44 443

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).

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.
 441 .. Brlhat Parasara Hora Sastra
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

30.37. CALCALATION OF SAYANA AND OTHER
AVASTHAS : I now tell you of the avasthasviz' Sayana,
Upavesana, Netrapani,Prakasana,Gamana, Aagamana,Sabha,
Aiama, Bhojane, Nrityalipsa, Kautuka and Nidra, and the
chesthas of such avasthas. Note the numberof the stars([rom
Aswini). occupied by thc planet for which Avastha is to be
calculated.Multiply that number by the numbcr denoted by
the planet (Sun l, Moon 2 etc.). The figurc so arrivedat be
'
again multiplied by the number of Navamsa the planet
is in. Add to this the number of birth astcrism,the number
of ghatis of birth and the number o[ signs the ascendant
gained from Aries. This figure be divided by 12 and the
iemainderwill indicatethecorresponding Avasthaof the planet'
The sub state in the said Avastha can be found out thus :
Multi2ly the figure denoted by the Avastha concerneo(i c'
Sayanal, Upavesana 2 etc ) by the same figure and incrcaseit
by the figure denoted by the Anka valuc for the first syllablcof
the native's personal name. Dividc the product so obtained
by 12. - The remainder there of be furthcr increascd by constant
planetary additamdtrts, thus : Sun 5, Moon 2, Mars 2,
Mercury3, Jupiter5, Venus 3, Saturn 3, Rahu 4 (ald Ketu 4)'
(Here the planetmeansthe one for whom the substateis being
known.) The product so arrivedat be divided by 3. In th
processif the remainderis l, it is Drishti,' if 2 Clreshtaand if 0
Vicheshta.
Notes: So far narrated are .three differentgroupsof
Avasthas. Thc present Avasthasare calledSayanadiAvasthas.
Thesearc of supremeimportanceas compared to the other kinds
of Avasthas.
'
The following formula may be adoptedto know about the
planet'sAvastha(Sayanadi)at birth.

Whereas 's' denotesthe serialnumberof the star occupied

statusof the ptanetcounted from the Sun (i.e. Sun l, Mercury
4 etc; 'n' denotes the planet's Navamsa position (i.e. I to 9
Navamsas);'a' denotes Janma Nakshatra(or ruling star, i.e. the
one occupiedby the Moon); 'g' denotes the ghati in which birth
took place (i.e. 20gh 2 vigh is 2lgh) and 'r' denotes the
ascendant's order counted from Aries (i.e. Cancerd Leo 5, so
on and.soforth).
In placeof 'n' given above, some translatorsinterpretthe
word 'Amsa' 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.
. Also pleasc note that Aagamanavastha (the 6th one) is
known as Gamanechchavastha by someexponents-
Takc a casenow as an example with the following data.
The Sun in Krittika Nakshatra, 3rd Navamsa of Taurus(i.e in

sub state
is Drishti in an Avastha, the resultsbeing statedfor
the Avastha
will be medium, fuil in cheshta and negrigiore
in vicheshta.
The good and bad effectsof pranetsbe dec-iphered based on the
Chapter 45 451
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
slokas.

bereftof virtues. If Mars be in the ascendantand be in Netra-
pani Avasthathere will be penury;in other housesthis statewill
confer rulershipof a city. Should Mars be in Prakasavastha'
the native will shine with virtues and will be honouredby the
464 Brihat ParasaraHora Sastra
king. Mars in Prakasavastha in the 5th housewill, howevcr,
cause lossof children and of wife. lf Mars is in the saidstate
and be rvith Rahu,a severe(positional) fall will descend on the
native.ShouldMars'bein Grmanavastha the nativewill be always
roaming,will havefearof multipleulcers,will incur misunder-
standings with females, will be afllictedby boils, itchesetc. and

nativewill bc virtuous,endowedrvith preciousgems,will ado-re
a sharp sword,will walk with the (majestic) gait of an elephant
(impartingsurpriscin the onlooker),will destroyhis enemies and
will removethe miseriesof his pecple. If Mars be in Sabhava-
sthaand be in exaltationthe natlvewill be skilful in conducting
wars,will hold the flag of righteousness aloft and be wealthy; if
Mars be in the said statein the Sth or 9th, the native will be
bercft of learning,if in the l2th childlessness and no wife and no
friendswill result,and if Mars be in other housesthan thesein
the said Avastha, the native will be a scholar in a king's court
(i.e. be a poet laureate),be very wealthy,honourableand chari-

If Mars be in Kautukrvasthathe native will be curiousin disposi-
tion and be endowed with friends and sons,if Mars be simul-
taneously exalted,the native will be honouredby the king and

the native will be short-tempered.devoid of intelligenceand
wealth, be wicked, fallen from yirtuous path and troubled by
diseases,
Notes : If Mars is in Sayanavastha at birth, the native will
be libidinous, learned, intelligent and irritable. Should this
Avasthain particularoccur. in the 5th or in the 7th, the native
will losehis first wife and first child as well. If Mars in 5th
beingin Sayanavastha is relatedto Saturn or Rahu, the native's

iT the said stateears/handwill be cut off.
ShouldMars be in Upavesanavastha in theascendant,the
native ryill be extremely sinful,will incur severaldiscases, indi-
gentand most unpeaceful. If the said Avastha occursfor Mars
in the 9th house, the nativewill lose wholeof his wealthapart
from his wife and progeny. Mars in Netrapani Avasthain the
ascendantwill give povertyand will destroythe ndtive'swife and
progeny; in other housesthis confers on the nativeall kinds of
wealth and happinessfrom wife and children. However,the 2nd
housepositionor the Tth houseposition of Mars in Netrapani
Avasthawill causefear from lions and snakesapart from giving
earningsfrom lands.Furtherthe native'swife will predecease him.

houses, Mars in Gamanavasthawitl bring royal favours,leader-
ship and luxuriesof the life.
Shifting over to sloka 69 of our tcxt, in the contert
of Mars being in Agamanavastha, the sage uses "rrq€ailI"
'elephant
which hasbeen, however, interpreted as killer' by
somecommentators. It is actually an indeclinableparticle and
conveysthe meaningthat the nativewill walk with the majestic
gait of an elephant(impartingsurprisein the onlookers
Mars in Agamanavasthawill cause piles and diseasesof

happiness;there will be miseriesgaloreif Mars is in the 8th or
9th a part from incurring untimely death. In other houses,this
stateof Mars will make the nativeakin to Kubera. Mars in the
