The Translator and the
Translation
For the most part, I am a self-taught Sanskrit enthusiast. You
can see my translation work on my academia.edu profile:
https://independent.academia.edu/MichaelNeely
For my Sanskrit language references, most of the time I
consulted the Sanskrit primer, Devavāṇīpraveśikā, by Robert
and Sally Goldman, Sanskrit Grammar by William Dwight
Whitney, Sanskrit Manual by William Bucknell, and the
Academic Room Sanskrit-English iOS Dictionary app.
The script for this translation was generated from the Learn
Sanskrit website:
http://www.learnsanskrit.org/tools/sanscript
The Sanskrit Grammarian website was also extensively used to
find and confirm noun declensions and verb conjunctions:
http://sanskrit.inria.fr/DICO/grammar.html
The online Sanskrit Dictionary website was also extensively
used to look up various Sanskrit words for their definitions and
parts of speech: http://sanskritdictionary.com/
In my prose translations, I tried to be as literal as possible, not
adding anything to the translation that was not in the original
Sanskrit text. If I did add something, it is clearly indicated. For
each verse translated, I show the transliteration of the Sanskrit
in the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST)

format and the English translation I created. After that, I broke
down each word of the Sanskrit text into its pre-sandhi form
and listed the various grammar identifiers of each word. When
needed, I explain why my translation is different from other
translations and provide other background information
essential to understanding the verses. It is up to each person to
arrive at a translation that makes sense to him/her. My mission
in all my translations is to provide a very detailed word for
word translation identifying each word’s grammar and to
provide an understandable translation for everyone. I don’t
seek to be the supreme authority on any translation that I do.
I am not a Sanskrit professor nor do I claim to be an expert in
the Sanskrit language. Some Sanskritists may criticize this
translation given I am not a credentialed Sanskritist in the guise
that I made certain grammar and translation errors. I am not
immune to error, but I am definitely confident that I provide a
valuable Sanskrit resource in this publication. If one feels
moved to criticize my work, I would appreciate a detailed
response in regards to my error and not some off the cuff
rebuke from on high. I understand society’s tendency to give
the benefit of the doubt to a credentialed person over a
non-credentialed enthusiast, but just be aware that credentialed
and uncredentialed people make errors all the same.
Whenever I translate a Sanskrit text, I do so to understand a
particular knowledge from its primary source and retrace the
steps of other translators. I want to confirm the accepted
understanding of the text. With my detailed Sanskrit to English
translations, I also seek to make a bridge between Sanskrit
enthusiasts and the texts I have translated as a vehicle of
education and joy.
The two main translations I referenced in this translation of the
Bṛhat Pārāśara Horā Shāstra (BPHS) are below:
R. Santhanam of Ranjan Publications
https://archive.org/details/BPHSEnglish/mode/2up
Girish Chand Sharma of Sagar Publications
https://www.amazon.com/Brihat-Parasara-Hora-Sastra-Compe
ndium/dp/8170821541/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1778NR0K126O3&ke
ywords=brihat+parashara+hora+shastra&qid=1582585543&sp
refix=brihat%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-2
The Sanskrit script for this text was found at
https://sanskritdocuments.org/sanskrit/jyotisha/
I would highly recommend reading the following article on the
authenticity of the BPHS by Shyamasundara Dasa:
https://shyamasundaradasa.com/jyotish/resources/articles/bphs.
html
It will give a good perspective on the validity of current BPHS
versus the original of ancient times.
David Pingree also discusses the BPHS and its place in history
in his text Jyotiḥśāstra from pages 86 to 91:

The lunar yogas in the Bṛhatpārāśarahorā of Pārāśara are
covered in chapter 37 of the Ranjan version and and chapter 39
of the Sagar version. Both versions have 13 verses in their
chapters pertaining to lunar yogas.1
I have left the Sanskrit words; kārakāṃśa, svāṃśa, and kāraka,
untranslated for numerous reasons after taking a summary look
at the words and context within the BPHS. I do this with
reservation given I like to be as explicit as possible in my
translations. I would just caution the reader to be very careful
with taking on the commonly accepted translations of these
words and investigate the BPHS, words and context. If I would
have enough time to translate all the preceding chapters in
detailed Sanskrit, I would have probably been comfortable
giving clear translations of the words.
Within the jyotis canon, astrological houses are often written as
the first, second, third, etc. zodiac signs. For example, the
seventh house would be written as the seventh zodiac sign.
1
There are two major publishers of the modern BPH, Ranjan and Sagar.
They have assigned different numbers to the chapters, so I have included
both publishers’ chapter numbers when referencing a particular chapter and
verse of the BPH. As stated before, all translations in this commentary were
done by me.
Verses
1. One indeed has deficient, middling, and the best wealth,
intelligence, skill, etc. when the Moon is situated in an angle,
etc. from the Sun.
2. The Moon situated in one’s own aṃśa (portion) or in the
aṃśa (portion) in one’s own great friend during the day and
aspected by Jupiter, then one is born possessed of wealth and
comfort.
3. The Moon situated in one’s own aṃśa (portion) or in the
aṃśa (portion) in one’s own great friend at night and aspected
by Venus, then the born is possessed of wealth and comfort.
4. When [the Moon] is situated in the reverse of that and not
aspected by Venus or Jupiter, the infant with little wealth or no
wealth is born in that yoga.
5. Indeed, a yoga with benefics situated in the eighth, sixth, and
seventh houses from the Moon, produces a sovereign, minister,
or a supreme lord of an army, respectively from the strength [of
the yoga].
6. The born should be possessed of great wealth with all the
benefics situated in upacaya houses from the Moon. Mediocre
wealth with two. Little wealth with one.
© 2021 – 2022 Michael Douglas Neely
7. With the exception of the Sun, when a planet is indeed
situated in the second, twelfth, and both (second and twelfth
houses) from the Moon; respectively, there is the named
Sunaphā, named Anaphā, and named Duradharā yoga.
8. One is a sovereign or equal to a sovereign, possessed of
intelligence, wealth, and fame, and has wealth acquired by
one’s own hand produced from a Sunaphā yoga.
9. One is a lord of the earth with a sound body, possessed of
character, possessed of celebrated fame, and a good form born
of an Anaphā yoga with all the benefics.
10. Indeed a person is enjoying accomplished comfort, a donor
joined to wealth and conveyances, and a virtuous servant
produced with a Duradharā yoga is born.
11. If there isn’t any planet, excluding the Sun, situated in the
second or twelfth houses, or without a planet, excluding the
Moon, situated in an angle from the lagna, there should be...
12. ...a named Kemadruma yoga. In that case, the born is
greatly despised, destitute of understanding and knowledge,
and joined to poverty and misfortune.
13. [This] Moon yoga singly destroys the result of other yogas
and thus bestows its own result. The wise should carefully
consider.
