I am a mostly self-taught Sanskrit enthusiast. I went to a Sanskrit presentation at a yoga studio sometime in the late 1990s. That was my first exposure to any structured Sanskrit class. The studio arranged a second follow-up class, but no one showed up, except me. I took that as an omen. In 2003 I took two Sanskrit workshops that emphasized learning the Sanskrit alphabet and some noun declensions and verb conjunctions. In 2005 I was able to find a Sanskrit mentor to teach me Sanskrit until about mid-2006. From mid-2006 to mid-2007 I continued my Sanskrit studies and Sanskrit to English translations. You can see my translation work during this time period and my​ ​current​ ​work​ ​on​ ​my​ ​academia.edu​ ​profile: https://independent.academia.edu/MichaelNeely​ In mid-2007 I lost interest in studying Sanskrit and stopped studying it. In 2014, my interest in Sanskrit was rekindled. I felt a calling to come back to it and started reviewing various Sanskrit primers and textbooks.

In July 2015 I felt confident enough to start translating the ​Bhagavad Gita​ in order continue increasing my proficiency in the Sanskrit language while feeling the excitement of actually reading and comprehending the Sanskrit of the B ​ hagavad Gita​ and then translating the Sanskrit into English. In addition to the ​Bhagavad Gita​, I have started some translation work on the Brihat Jataka and the principal Upanishads. At this time I have decided to pick up on the ​Brihat Parashara​ ​Hora​ ​Shastra​ ​work​ ​I​ ​stopped​ ​in​ ​2007. I am not a Sanskrit professor nor do I claim to be an expert in the Sanskrit language. The two main past translations of the ​Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra I consulted were the one’s by R. Santhanam of Ranjan Publications and Girish Chand Sharma of Sagar Publications. The Sanskrit script for this text was found at sanskritdocuments.org. I relied heavily on the Sanskrit primer ​Devavanipravesika by Robert and Sally Goldman, ​Sanskrit Grammar ​by William Dwight Whitney, ​Sanskrit Manual by William Bucknell, and the Academic Room Sanskrit-English Dictionary iOS app in making sure I understood the Sanskrit​ ​underlying​ ​the​ ​translation.

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. For each verse translated, I show the Sanskrit ​devanagari ​text, the transliteration of the Sanskrit in English (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 grammatical identifiers of each word. Every translation has it place in the world. 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 with grammar notes. I don’t seek to be the supreme authority on any translation that I do. Some Sanskritists may criticize this book 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 book. 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​ ​would​ ​highly​ ​recommend​ ​reading​ ​the​ ​following article​ ​on​ ​the​ ​authenticity​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Brihat​ ​Parashara Hora​ ​Shastra​ ​by​ ​Shyamasundara​ ​Dasa:

https://shyamasundaradasa.com/jyotish/resources/artic les/bphs.html It​ ​will​ ​give​ ​a​ ​good​ ​perspective​ ​on​ ​the​ ​validity​ ​of current​ ​Brihat​ ​Parashara​ ​Hora​ ​Shastra​ ​versus​ ​the original​ ​of​ ​ancient​ ​times.

Effects​ ​of​ ​First​ ​House: Outline​ ​of​ ​Main​ ​Concepts (listed​ ​as​ ​they​ ​appear​ ​in​ ​the​ ​text)

Chapter​ ​Overview

This​ ​chapter​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Brihat​ ​Parashara​ ​Hora​ ​Shastra covers​ ​the​ ​effects​ ​of​ ​the​ ​first​ ​house,​ ​which​ ​usually centers​ ​around​ ​bodily​ ​health. When​ ​“portions”​ ​are​ ​mentioned,​ ​more​ ​often​ ​than​ ​not, the​ ​tradition​ ​of​ ​this​ ​text​ ​states​ ​that​ ​it​ ​is​ ​referring​ ​to​ ​the navamsha​ ​portion,​ ​and​ ​not​ ​just​ ​any​ ​portional​ ​system mentioned​ ​in​ ​chapter​ ​one. There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​controversy​ ​about​ ​which​ ​houses​ ​are included​ ​with​ ​the​ ​trikona​ ​houses.​ ​Some​ ​say​ ​it​ ​is​ ​only the​ ​5th​ ​and​ ​9th​ ​house,​ ​but​ ​others​ ​say​ ​it​ ​is​ ​the​ ​1st,​ ​5th, and​ ​9th​ ​house. The​ ​combinations​ ​that​ ​will​ ​ruin​ ​bodily​ ​health​ ​are​ ​as follows: ● The​ ​lagna​ ​lord​ ​in​ ​a​ ​dusthana​ ​house​ ​(6th,​ ​8th,​ ​or 12th). ● The​ ​lagna​ ​lord​ ​with​ ​malefics,​ ​combust, debilitated,​ ​or​ ​in​ ​an​ ​enemy’s​ ​zodiac​ ​sign. ● The​ ​lagna​ ​or​ ​the​ ​Moon​ ​is​ ​aspected​ ​or​ ​joining the​ ​malefic​ ​planets​ ​without​ ​aspect​ ​from​ ​a benefic​ ​planet.

The​ ​combinations​ ​that​ ​will​ ​improve​ ​bodily​ ​health​ ​are as​ ​follows: ● The​ ​lagna​ ​lord,​ ​Mercury,​ ​Jupiter,​ ​and​ ​Venus​ ​in angles​ ​(1st,​ ​4th,​ ​7th,​ ​and​ ​10th​ ​houses)​ ​and trines​ ​(1st,​ ​5th,​ ​and​ ​9th​ ​houses).​ ​Those​ ​factors with​ ​the​ ​Moon​ ​improves​ ​this​ ​combination. Basically,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the​ ​benefic​ ​planets​ ​in favorable​ ​houses. ● A​ ​benefic​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​will​ ​give​ ​one​ ​a​ ​good form.​ ​A​ ​malefic,​ ​a​ ​bad​ ​form. ● The​ ​lagna​ ​lord​ ​in​ ​a​ ​movable​ ​zodiac​ ​sign​ ​and aspected​ ​by​ ​a​ ​benefic​ ​planets. Saturn​ ​or​ ​Mars​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​in​ ​Aries,​ ​Taurus,​ ​or​ ​Leo can​ ​lead​ ​the​ ​native​ ​to​ ​be​ ​wrapped​ ​with​ ​its​ ​umbilical cord​ ​at​ ​birth​ ​related​ ​to​ ​the​ ​body​ ​area​ ​associated​ ​with Aries,​ ​Taurus,​ ​and​ ​Leo;​ ​the​ ​head,​ ​throat,​ ​and​ ​belly, respectively. Twins​ ​are​ ​said​ ​to​ ​be​ ​produced​ ​if​ ​the​ ​Sun​ ​is​ ​in​ ​a quadruped​ ​zodiac​ ​sign​ ​and​ ​the​ ​other​ ​planets​ ​are​ ​in dual​ ​zodiac​ ​signs. If​ ​the​ ​Sun​ ​and​ ​Moon​ ​are​ ​together​ ​in​ ​one​ ​zodiac​ ​sign and​ ​portion,​ ​the​ ​native​ ​is​ ​said​ ​to​ ​have​ ​three​ ​mothers​ ​in the​ ​first​ ​three​ ​months​ ​of​ ​his/her​ ​life​ ​and​ ​then​ ​be​ ​raised by​ ​a​ ​father​ ​and​ ​brother.

All​ ​these​ ​combinations​ ​should​ ​be​ ​read​ ​from​ ​the​ ​lagna and​ ​the​ ​Moon. The​ ​last​ ​topic​ ​covered​ ​deals​ ​with​ ​wounds,​ ​marks,​ ​etc. in​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​body​ ​area,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​determined​ ​by​ ​what portion​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dreshkana​ ​is​ ​rising​ ​in​ ​a​ ​zodiac​ ​sign. Associations​ ​with​ ​malefics​ ​will​ ​bring​ ​about​ ​wounds. With​ ​benefics,​ ​marks. Effects​ ​of​ ​the​ ​First​ ​House​ ​Mostly​ ​Towards​ ​Matters of​ ​Bodily​ ​Health

The​ ​lord​ ​of​ ​the​ ​1st​ ​house​ ​with​ ​a​ ​malefic​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​the 8th,​ ​6th,​ ​and​ ​12th​ ​house​ ​there​ ​is​ ​the​ ​robbing​ ​of​ ​the bodily​ ​health.​ ​The​ ​lord​ ​of​ ​the​ ​1st​ ​house​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​an angle​ ​or​ ​trine​ ​should​ ​always​ ​grant​ ​a​ ​comfortable​ ​body. The​ ​lord​ ​of​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​combustion,​ ​in debilitation,​ ​in​ ​an​ ​enemy​ ​zodiac​ ​sign;​ ​should​ ​be​ ​the creation​ ​of​ ​disease.​ ​A​ ​benefic​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​an​ ​angle​ ​or trine​ ​is​ ​recollected​ ​the​ ​removing​ ​of​ ​all​ ​diseases. Here,​ ​when​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​or​ ​the​ ​Moon​ ​are​ ​aspected​ ​or joined​ ​with​ ​cruel​ ​planets​ ​and​ ​when​ ​devoid​ ​of​ ​a benefic​ ​aspect,​ ​indeed,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​no​ ​comfort​ ​in​ ​the​ ​body of​ ​a​ ​human​ ​being. When​ ​a​ ​benefic​ ​is​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​there​ ​should​ ​be​ ​a​ ​good form.​ ​When​ ​a​ ​malefic,​ ​one​ ​is​ ​destitute​ ​of​ ​good​ ​form.

When​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​is​ ​joined​ ​or​ ​aspected​ ​with​ ​benefic planets,​ ​one​ ​is​ ​possessed​ ​with​ ​a​ ​healthy​ ​body. The​ ​lord​ ​of​ ​the​ ​lagna,​ ​Mercury,​ ​Jupiter,​ ​or​ ​even​ ​Venus situated​ ​in​ ​angles​ ​and​ ​trines​ ​has​ ​one​ ​become long-lived,​ ​possessed​ ​of​ ​wisdom​ ​and​ ​wealth,​ ​and beloved​ ​of​ ​royalty. The​ ​lord​ ​of​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​when​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​a​ ​movable zodiac​ ​sign​ ​aspected​ ​by​ ​a​ ​benefic​ ​planet,​ ​there​ ​is famous​ ​wealth,​ ​great​ ​enjoying,​ ​possessing​ ​comfort​ ​of the​ ​body. Conditions​ ​for​ ​Royal​ ​Insignia Here​ ​Mercury,​ ​Jupiter,​ ​or​ ​Venus​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​along with​ ​the​ ​Moon​ ​or​ ​also​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​angles​ ​from​ ​the lagna,​ ​one​ ​is​ ​furnished​ ​with​ ​royal​ ​insignia. Conditions​ ​for​ ​a​ ​Newborn​ ​Wrapped​ ​in​ ​an Umbilical​ ​Cord

When​ ​the​ ​lagna​ ​is​ ​with​ ​Saturn​ ​or​ ​Mars​ ​in​ ​Aries, Taurus,​ ​and​ ​Leo;​ ​similar​ ​to​ ​the​ ​zodiac​ ​sign​ ​or navamsha,​ ​a​ ​human​ ​being​ ​is​ ​wrapped​ ​up​ ​in​ ​an umbilical​ ​cord​ ​according​ ​to​ ​the​ ​body​ ​area.

Conditions​ ​for​ ​Twins The​ ​Sun​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​a​ ​four​ ​footed​ ​(quadruped​ ​zodiac sign)​ ​when​ ​the​ ​others​ ​are​ ​endowed​ ​with​ ​strength situated​ ​in​ ​dual​ ​zodiac​ ​signs,​ ​it​ ​should​ ​be​ ​predicted that​ ​two​ ​twins​ ​are​ ​born. Raised​ ​by​ ​Three​ ​Mothers​ ​for​ ​Three​ ​Months​ ​and then​ ​the​ ​Father​ ​and​ ​Brother

The​ ​Sun​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Moon​ ​are​ ​situated​ ​in​ ​one​ ​zodiac​ ​sign and​ ​the​ ​two​ ​are​ ​associated​ ​with​ ​one​ ​portion,​ ​one​ ​is supported​ ​by​ ​three​ ​mothers​ ​in​ ​the​ ​first​ ​three​ ​months and​ ​then​ ​is​ ​supported​ ​by​ ​a​ ​father​ ​and​ ​brother. Results​ ​Should​ ​be​ ​Told​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Lagna,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as the​ ​Moon

Thus,​ ​just​ ​so​ ​is​ ​the​ ​result​ ​to​ ​be​ ​predicted.​ ​By​ ​the​ ​wise, also​ ​always​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Moon.

The​ ​Ulcers,​ ​Marks,​ ​etc.​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Limbs​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Body​ ​as Told​ ​by​ ​Varahamihira Here​ ​are​ ​the​ ​ulcers,​ ​marks,​ ​etc.​ ​in​ ​the​ ​body​ ​of​ ​the human​ ​who​ ​is​ ​produced​ ​told​ ​by​ ​me.

The​ ​head,​ ​two​ ​eyes,​ ​the​ ​two​ ​ears,​ ​two​ ​nostrils,​ ​two cheeks,​ ​chin,​ ​and​ ​mouth​ ​are​ ​the​ ​lagna,​ ​etc.​ ​in​ ​the​ ​body of​ ​the​ ​first​ ​drekkana​ ​of​ ​each​ ​of​ ​the​ ​zodiac​ ​signs​ ​as follows: Aries:​ ​head Taurus:​ ​right​ ​eye Gemini:​ ​right​ ​ear Cancer:​ ​right​ ​nostril Leo:​ ​right​ ​cheek Virgo:​ ​right​ ​chin Libra:​ ​mouth Scorpio:​ ​left​ ​chin Sagittarius:​ ​left​ ​cheek Capricorn:​ ​left​ ​nostril Aquarius:​ ​left​ ​ear Pisces:​ ​left​ ​eye

The​ ​bladder,​ ​the​ ​genitals​ ​and​ ​anus,​ ​two​ ​testicles,​ ​two thighs,​ ​two​ ​knees,​ ​two​ ​shins,​ ​and​ ​feet​ ​are​ ​to​ ​be​ ​known in​ ​the​ ​third​ ​portion​ ​of​ ​each​ ​of​ ​the​ ​zodiac​ ​signs​ ​as follows: Aries:​ ​bladder Taurus:​ ​right​ ​genital​ ​and​ ​anus Gemini:​ ​right​ ​testicle Cancer:​ ​right​ ​thigh Leo:​ ​right​ ​knee Virgo:​ ​right​ ​calf Libra:​ ​foot Scorpio:​ ​left​ ​calf Sagittarius:​ ​left​ ​knee Capricorn:​ ​left​ ​thigh Aquarius:​ ​left​ ​testicle Pisces:​ ​left​ ​genital​ ​and​ ​anus With​ ​those​ ​risen​ ​are​ ​the​ ​left​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​body. In​ ​whichever​ ​limb​ ​a​ ​malefic​ ​is​ ​situated,​ ​there​ ​one should​ ​proclaim​ ​a​ ​wound.​ ​Also,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​malefics connected​ ​with​ ​Mercury.​ ​With​ ​benefics,​ ​the​ ​wise should​ ​proclaim​ ​a​ ​mark.
