PREFACE 'BHAVKUnJHALAM' by Jeevnath deceptively ma~ appear to be a smaller text on vedk astrology but as one advances through the book, this conception is totally belied. In fact me learned writer has presented the whole volume in such a way that while on one hand, the pith of classics is v~ lucidly presented; the student as well as practitioner would find quite a few new horizons and initiatives. Hence it is of immense u.sefulness to l.be practitioner. As hinted above mere has been a long felt need for an English mtdering of the text to bring out the hidden meanings and subtle nuances of l.be aphorisms swed in typical poetic Sanskrit. The present book would largely fulfil this mission.
Now I wish to highlight a few safimt features which distinguish this work from the rest: In chapter 2, the author inter alia has given six axioms 01' dis(arishta) to ones relatives. These princ:iples are not onl)~ pregnant with new meanings bt.u also expose a very refreshing new interpretation. Even practice has confirmed their validity time and again.
Th~ is yet anOther focus which must be stressed. The author in a novel way has employed the various signiftcalion in the interpretation of various disuns cau.sing planetary configurations. This is rarely to be found elsewhere. Similarly in chapter four. the eigJu aphorism on combinations causing distress (distress to the subject) to natjve, have their own. place of pride as they have been found very close to the truth.
In regard to the house of progeny, the expression and style of Jeevnath is rypically Indian and seems to have been conditioned by the ancient socio-economic parameters. However. the fac:t remains thal astrologers have been doing research on this aspect and much more work is needed lo be done owing to the fac:1 thal in actual practice the experience turns oul ro be conuary to the staled facts. This has been CJCplaincd in detailed notes on fllSt aphorism of chapter six. This

I (the \\-Titer JE£VA NATO) agam and ag.am otTer my obetsancc to those clean td:t of Lord Shtva whtch posSCS.'l motl! beauty than the beautv ol latus Bomg the genn (the lir;t seed or tlte first
cause) of the whole universe he (Lord Shiva) becomes the bridge in freeing Brahma from the Shackles of the world; be has in him immense light; he is ever cheerful and he delights the hearts of both the gods and the demons.
Note• : It has been the tradition among the Indian thinkers that when they begin to write a book. they flfSt of all offer obeisance to their Ishta Devata (the god they worship most). Here the writer of Bhava-Kutuhalam first .of all offers his obeisance again and again on the beautiful feet of his lshts DevaUl, Lord Shiva. Another leJmed man interprets this WQrShip .in a different way from the above interpretation. "This univ~ is born of the sacred water of Lord Shiva although it i-s created by Brabma. That Lord Shiva protects man from the fear of birth and death, he causes b~ in the hearts of gods and demons; and gods demons and parbrahmaswaroop concentrate their mind on~ he is bliss incarnate; he is the emancipator (bridge) of all the worlds and be is the cause ef the creation of the universe. I (the writer) bow on the lotus feet of Lord Shiva which have blissful and unique delicacy in them. The Indian th.inkent regard Lord Shiva as the ~source of all Knowledge and learning.
¥Aluft4'11~ftcri fmmB ictil'lla 'i114Cf!(&c.;i CR{ II ~II The Source of the Sutr a• (S&Io1w) of the Book : I, the writer Jeeva Nath, publish this book 'Bhava Kutuhalam' for the benefit of learned Astrologers. Due to the prevalence in Astrology of the vari· ous miraculous ideas propounded by many thinkers. I have observed well only the substance of the available statements
Note. : It is quite clear frOm this statement of Jeeva Nath that the ideas. that is, the principles of Predictive Astrology which were left by the thinkers on Astrology before the writer were quite capable of making true predictions. Therefore Jeeva Nath calls their predictive Sutras miraculous. The writer of the presen·t book studied deeply those very miraculous predictive Sutras, and having studied them, he, the writer Jeeva Natb, compiled in this book ' B bava Kutubalam' in his own words, those miraculous predictive Sutras which were found to be perfectly C()rrect by bim according to his
own views. Obviously such a confession is fotmd only in persons of very high character.
3. May the knowledge of the supreme fruit-giving predictive Astrology given by Lord Brahma which is oppressed w~th trouble because of being mixed with tbe irrational Sutras of the Predictive Astrology of the Yawanas. bathe itself for the benefit of the world in the flowing current of my delicate and clear words which are like a
pool of nectar. Note• : Many mysterious branches of knowledge like that of predictive Astrology got favoW'llble circumstances to prosper in· Ancient lndia. Indeed India bas remained prosperous with the treasuxe of both knowledge and wealth. In the ancient times other cotmtries of the world were obsessed with the wicked ~ire of making cont3Ct with India, attacking her, looting her wealth and treasure and ruling over her. Many foreign nations came into India and Settled here. These people left the impression of their nature, character"' conduct and Culture on India. Some of ~ invading nations were cruel and Savage. They left no stone unturned in looting the wealth of this country and also in destroying her· cult~. But beSides such foreigners some of them made cultural exchanges also. Among the "Various in" aders the Yawans, that is, the inhabitants of Greece also came here as invaders. These invaders also brought wi1h them the learned persons well versed in various· branches of knowledge philosophers and intellectuals and lovers' of cultures. In about 326 B.C. Alexander came into India and he established his rule over Gandhar, Sindha, Punjab, Taxila, Visa etc. His rule continued to exist immovably even a.fter Alexander' s death. These people had got success in establishing their contact and rule in India over a wide area. The Yawans reached down to Patliputra (modem Patna) during the times of Demetrius, Ukretides and Minander. The emperor Chandra Gupta Maurya had even merital relations with tbe daugb· ter of the Yawan King named Selukas. The contact of the Yawanas
conunued to increase in later times. The fust exchange was in the field of trade. The Indian pe<>ple begM to keep the yawan girls as their wives or stepwives. This is written in a famous book entitled 'Periplus' The yawan breed thus gdt mixed in the Indian society. This mixing did not fail to be there in the field of Knowledge, Science, Arts and literature. In the field of Astrology some of the yawans got their place among sucb great astrologers as Parash.ara, Narada, Garga, Vashishtba and Bhrigu. Yawanacbarya is one of such famous Astrologers. Such Yawan astrologers were specially honoured during the times of Varahamiliira. Varahamih.ira himself has written so in his famous book ' Brihat-Samhita'.
that is, the '{awanas among the Mleohchas are well versed in this branch of knowledge {Astrology). They are worshipped like the rishis or the sages. It may then be imagincii as to how tbe Brahmins, Well versed in Astrology should be adored Indeed some of the Yawan learned persons got themselves mixed with the Indian soil in the real sense and glorified not only Astrology but also the various branches of knowledge. But some proud, power hungry yawanas bad their trealment with Indian Astrolo.gy which was like that of rape. It iS becatise of this that the learned petson who knows the essence of predictive Astrology is so full of sadness. But this is highly ironicaJ. that th"ose tbings which were added separately to the Indian Astrology by the yawanas and those limbs of Jndian Astrology which were destroyed by them can be hardly identified. The writer Jeeva Natb himself has been the victim of this irony of fate becap:se even he has not been able to identify correctly llhe passages which were quoted from the yawanas.

Rahu and Ketu have also been regarded in Predictive Astrology as planets. In this way the nwnber of planets becomes nine. Some Astrologers give the Lordship of the signs to these planets (Rahu and Ketu), but some others do not give them such Lordship. The matter of greatest sadness is that those learned Astrologers who provide these planets the lordship of signs are not of one view. Aacharya Jeeva Nath bas spoken pf the Lordship of these planets in this very chapter in Sbloka 9.

Although Acbarya Jeeva Natb has very easily explained with regard to the natural friendship, neutrality and enmity of the various planets. I would like to quote an important Sutra (Sblob) of Sage Parashara. This Shloka wil1 be beneficial to the reader because he will easily remember on the basis of this small Shloka the various relationships of the planets to one another which ' have been given in great detail.
"~Cf)~OIIt{ ~-'WSJ-~Sklleft ~~: ~T[1JT: I ~Jc:-t fttrCfl~T~ ~1fllTf1-T~~~TVTT: II 3l ~. ~@q; lj_~ ••• " The meaning is, 4th, 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th and 8th from their Mooltrikona sign and the Lord of a planet' s exaltation sign-these are the friends of a given planet and the Lords of the other signs than these arc his enemies. The planets which show both the characteristics (that is of friendship and also of enmity) are neutral to

him. In 'this way one can \Ulderstand the natural relationship of friend· ship. neutrality aod enmity of the planets.
Here is an example which shows bow this relationship can be understood.Thus from the SWl's Mooltrikooa sign Leo, the places given in the Shloka 2-4-S..S-9-12 and lord of his exaltation sign Aries. the planets Mercury. Mars. Jupiter and the Moon become friends to the SUit And from this ~-ery Mooltr:ikona sign. Leo of the Sun, the other planets than these, the lords of J-3.0·7-10-11 Houses, respectively Mercury, Venus, and Saturn become enemy to him (the Sun). Now we see here thAt Mercury is both the .friend and also the ene. my to the SUit Therefore, Mercury is neither a friend nor an enemy to the suo. He is indifferent or neutral to the Sun. The table of nat· ural frieodShip may be prepared oo the basis of this Sutra or Sbloka..

The Knoo~J~edp of Kaahta or Evib To Father: If there is a malefic planet in the lOth House from the Sun and the lOth Lord is afllicted (that is, if he · is in conjunction with or a.spected by a malefic), the native's father is put to ~e trouble or he dies. It W.S been said by the Munis. Nota : In this Chapter special i.mport.ance has been given to the Karakas or significators. The things which are studied from the Ascendant may also be studied by taking the significators of those things as Ascendants. For example, the LOth House from the Ascendant is studied to know the auspicious or inauspicious effects with regard to father. In the same way the 1Oth Rouse from the Sun, the significator of father may also be studied fur the knowledge of auspicious or inauspicious effect with regard to father.
If this matter is considered in some greater detail. new dimensions wiU open out before us. The meaning is that the IOth House from the SUD should be studied for those matters which are studied from the lOth House from the Ascendant. Thus the lOth House from the SUD is to be analysed for the acquisition of state; auspicious, .holy

If in this horoscope we study the lOth House from the Stm we find that there is Saturn in his o·wn sign in this House but Jupiter here is in his sign of debilitation. Again this House is aspeCted also by debilitated Mars. Saturn in his own sign could give the native gc)ve~t service, but because the debilitated Jupiter is situated in this House and the debilitated Mars aspects it, he (Saturn) could not encotmter these two evil effects ·and consequently the native had to be suspended. At present the situation is terrible. The native suffenil iJ1 repute, decline in respect and living standard. Therefore, it may be said that if the IOth House from the Sun is ill affected all those things that are considered from the IOth House from the Ascendant
are also affected. Another aspect of the picture has also been seen. It is this: in this situation the things that are related to the significatorsbip of the planet are also affected. Thus, the Sun is the significato: also of good health and absence of self, benes etc. Therefore, in the situation stated above these _things will also be adversely affected. However, if the significator is endowed with strength the adverse eflect will be in lesser degree.
The effect is negligible or it is nil this is seen in those situa·

2. The Knowledge of Kashta or Evlla To Mother: If the Moon is pl.aced between malefics. if there are malefics in the 4th and the 7tb House from the Moon and if the Moon is devoid of strength and is weak. the native's mother is swalJowed by death. this has been pointed out by eminent teachers of Astrology. Notes : There is the word ·~ {Api) in the Shloka. Therefore, acoording to Jeeva Nath. the meaning of the above mentioned Shlolca is that the native may also die. The Moon is the representative planet of infancy or childhood Hence, if the moon only becomes a p rey to e'Xtremely evil irifluences, hope of life in' childhood gets e~ly weak. Th~ ancient sages pf India bave accepted the evil influences falling on the Moon as the factor or reason of the native's death iri childhood without exception. Acbarya {a great scholar and teacher) Vaidyanath says in, this connection:

That is, if the moon is in the 7th. 8th or 12th :from lhe Ascen- dant in Conjunction with maJefic planets and is not aspected by benefics situated in other Houses than the Angles, by benefic planets situated in Panphara or Apoklima Houses, she is tbe giver of death to the native.
The moon is the factor of the native's mother. Extremely evil influences on the moon weaken the vitality of his or her mother. 1n the present ShJoka Pt. Jeeva Nath has not left any bypath for the Moon from which she can get strength. In the helpless situation in which she has been put, declaration of the mother's death may be
Bhav Kutuhalam made with certainty. Acoordi.og to Pl Jeeva Nath. the following com-
binations ore noteworthy in connection with the above Shloka. i) Jhe Moon is placed between maJefics, that is, there are malefios in the 2nd and the 12th Houses from the Moon. In such a situation if the plane\ posited in the 2nd House is re1rograde and that posited in the 12th House is direct the manner of the native's or his mether's death may be terrible. ii) Malefics are situated in the 4th and the 7th House ·from the MOQD. If benefic planets are situated in an angle from a House or a planet, that House or that planet gets strengthened. However, on the contrary, if malefic planets are posited there-in, that planet or that House gets banned. Therefore, malefic planets situated in the 4th or the 7th House from the Moon will cause harm to the body of the native and of his mother. iii) The Moon is devoid of strength and is I

Here the Moon is posited in the Astendant in her debilitation sign md hence she is weak and is devoid of her brilliance due to her nearness to the Sun. M_alefic planetS like Saturn and Rahu are also in conjunction with her. There is a malefic planet like Xetu in the 7th House from the Moon. Saturn. the 4th Lord or 'the Lord of the House of mother is in the lst House with his extreme enemy, the Sun and hence be is combust fn the event of planetary war he is defeated by the Sun. Therefore, both the Ascendant of the native and the 4th House, the House of the mother are devoid of strength. Besides this, there is another reason also-the situation of Mercury between such malefic planets as Mars and Satwn. This Mercwy is the 8th Lord from the Ascendant and is the 8th Lord from the 4th House also. Therefore, the lords of both the Houses, ·of the native himself and of his mother, are highly aftlicted and the life of the native and also of his mother both are endangered. This is what actually occurred. The native died on the IOth day after his birth and the mother got the benefit of the aspect of Jupiter on the 4th House only for three years as she died after three years.

3. The Knowledge of Kashta or EvUs To Brother: The native in whose horoscope there is the situation of malefic planet/s in the 3rd House from Mats se·es the certain death of his younger brother. This is the view of the Acbaryas Maniththa etc. Notes : Mars is the significator of the younger brother ·or sister and the Third House is studied to know abollt younger brother or sister. Therefore the benefic or malefic influences falling on the 3rd House from Mars throw light on these relations. If the Jrd LOrd from Mars is in his sign of debilitation and if he is hemmed between malefic planets, that is, there are malefics on his both sides, such situation is also indicative of evils to the yoWJger brother. Besides this, the ~eakness of Mars will also contribute evils to the younger brother.

In this horoscope of Virgo Alccndant there are the stm, Mars and Mercury in the 5th House from Jupiter. The cooditioo le.id down in the Sblob is fulfilled ~ a malefic planet lh Mars is there in the 5th House from Jupiter and the coojunctioo of the Sun with Mars may also be considered sufficiently malefic. But the deficiency that pinches us in this Shloka is this: Should we not give importance to the aspect of Jupiter which be gives to the 5th House from him? lt can be said with certainty that his (Jupiter's) aspect on the 5th House wiU give it auspiciousness. Therefore when we consider this Shlok.a we should have in our mind certain other factors abo. The 5th House and the 5th Lord from the Ascendant are the other factors of which we should have suffiCient knowledge. Here the 5th Lord saturn is in the 8th House in his sip of debilitation and the 5th House has the aspect of Rahu, although it has also the aspect of such a beodic planet as Venus.. Due to this complex situatioo the native got a son but he died sooo and got a very short life.
