Introduction Uttara kalamrita isan invaluable contribution in the field of Astrology by the poet Kalidasa. Some authorities have expressed Iheirdoubts about lhe authorship inspile of the referrences in the first three Slokas aboul the poet and the king Vikramaditya and claim that the text hasbcencomposcd by some Astrologer of South India. Whatever may be the truth, the fact remains that it is a praiseworthy compilation of Astrological findings on the various aspeas of human life pertaining to a native and makes the s tudy both instructive and profitable to all-whether casual readers or sch 0 \;:J rs.
This Book is divided into two Kanda : the first consists of8 sect ions dealing with Time of Binh, Planets, Bhavas, Strength of Planets. Length of Life, Planetary effects in several Bhnvas, $atum and Jupitercombining to make the philosopher, Function (Karkatva) ofBhavas and Planets (this part is unparellel), Dasa Periods and on Queries; the second kanda deals with issues like the Sraddha ceremonies, rituals and the adoption of sons. As no one Book is enough and complete in itselfand a good collection of books on anyone subject is essential, this Uttarakalamrita will certainly make a wonderful companion of the reader, whatever else he might have studied. Remember in the absence of a Guru, books are the best Guide. Such a Guide will be the UHarakalamrita. My thanks are due to Narinder Sagar orSagar Publications in bringing out this book so suf"'ttSSfully. B-4 South Extn - I New Delhi - 49 ISIJ3O, I993

Sloka·S,6. (8) Nakshatra Suddhi : Multiply tbe Ghatikas and Vighatikas of the Ishla Kala by 4 and divide the product by 9. The remainde r should be counted beginning with Aswini, Magha or MooIa in whatsoever Patyaya it falls. The 27 Naksbalras are distributed in 3 Paryayas consisting of 1st 10 9th, 10th to 18th and 19th to 27th. This will give the Janma Nakshatm. Example: Suppose a native was born on 6.3. 1980 at Ishta Ghatika. 56.12. Therefore,
(56.12) x 4

These five groups represent. in their order male, female. ma.le, female and male . respectively. Example :Ishta Ghatikas are 56.12, i.e., 56x60+12 = 3372 + 225 = 14x22S+222 Therefore, the birth will be that of a male. (c) Lagna Suddhi : Flnd out the Rasi occupied by the Moon and Mandi; and also their Navamsas. The native will have his birtb either in the Rasi occupied by Mandi or the Moon whichever be stronger; or in the Lagna Rasi which will be 7th, 5th or the 9th from either of them. If instead of these two Rasis, the Navamsa Rasi owned by Mandi or tbe Moon be stronger, tben the Janma Lagna will be in the stronger Navamsa Rasi or the 7th, 5th or the 9th from it.

Notes : In lhis sloka an effort has been made to arrive at Janma Nakshatra. Jaruna Lagna and the sex (male or female) of the native with the belp of Ishl. Ghatika and Vighatika. Knowledge of the sex of the native can also be gained through Pranpada. Distribute the 27 Nakshtras in 3 Paryaya of 9 Naksha· tras each. Aswini to Aslesba should make the 1st Paryaya; Magba to Jyestba, the 2nd and the 3rd should comprise of Moola to Revati. When the Ishta kala is multiplied by 4 and divided by 9, the remainder will give the Janma Nakshatra. This will also tell about the accuracy of the Ishta kala. When the Janma Naksbatra discovered through this Paddbati is identical with the one indicated by the Rasi occupied by the Moon in a nativity, the Ishta kala should be taken as correct, otherwise some addition or deduc· tions ",;,ilI have to be made in it. Similarly, the correctness of the Janma Lagna should also be verified in this manner.
Localing Mandi and Gulika Sioka-? On the week days reckoned from Sunday onwards multiply the Dinmana (length of the day from Sun Rise to Sun Set) respectively by Charu (26), Khari (22), lata (18), Varo (14), Nata (10). Tanu (6) and RooD (2) and divide tbe product by Khanga (30) and the quo tient arrived at in Gbatikas and Palas etc., taken as lsbta, oompule the Lagna. The Lagna discovered will be Mandi Sphuta. The Eighth part o f the Dirunana or tbal of the Ratrimana is tbe period of each planet. When tbe birth is during the day, the lords of the 1st seven Muhurtas beginning with Sunda y onwards will respectively be the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.
Here the words Cha m, Khari etc. have been interpreted with tbe help of K.atpayadi system.

Sioka-S. 1be 8th Muhurata has no lo rd. In the case of day births the portion belonging to Saturn is called Gulika . In the case of nig ht births, the lords of the lst 7 Muhuratas will be in the same order as sialed above, but the lord of the l si seven Muhuralas are reckoned no l from the lo rd of the week day c hosen, but from that of the 5th from it. Here also the portion belonging to Saturn will be taken as that of Gutika. But Gutika will be from tbe last portion of Saturn Viz., al the end of Ghatikas 10, 6, 2, 26, 22, 18 and 14 respectively.
Gbulika and Mandi are taken as two sons of Saturn and according to Mandavya Rishi they are most harmful: wherever they are posited they destroy the effects of that Bhavl! completely. In some old Text-books they have been accepted as
6 one and the same thing; and it is a popular view. Bul the autbor here on the basis of Rishi Mandavya's view has maintained their plurality. Tberefore, to arrive at Mandi multiply the Ghatikas of the lshta kala by tbe number assigned to the weekday and divide the product by 30. The Ghatika-Palas thus obtained should be used to fix Mandi in the Rasi, Amsa. Kala and Villala the same way as is done 10 place tbe Lagn• . The reader should remember about Gulika that the portion owned by Saturn. on the week-day of the birth, belongs to Gulika. For this purpose, divide the Dinmana in eight-equal parts and the lord of each Maburata will be computed from the week day of the birth. The portion allowed 10 Saturn will belong to Gulilea. In the case of night birth divide the Ratrimana in eight equal parts and count the Stb Muhurata from tbe ,week-day of the birth and find out tbe portion belonging to Saturn, that will be called Gulika. In short, note the week-day of the birth and divide its Ratrimana or Dinmana by eight. The eighth part will be one Muhul3ta. In the day birth the lord of the first Mahurata will be denoted by the planet owning the week day of the birth
and in the case of night-birtb it will be the 5tb from tbe lord of the week~ay . Write this Maburata in one place and count the position of Saturn; such as, Sunday as 7th. Tuesday as Stb and Wednesday as tbe 4th etc. In the night-birth count from the Sth planet denoted by the week-day. Note the position of Saturn. This should be multiplied by the 8th portion of the Ratriman. The product will give tbe Ishta of Gulika . Compute with tbis 100 Lagna, it will give Gulika Sphuta Lagna or Gulika Sphuta. Example. Gulika is to be found in the case of Day birth on Monday, Oinaman is 32 Ghatikas. 32 + 8 = 4 Ghatikas for one Mahurata. 1berefore, Count upto Saturday from Monday. It is 6th (in order). Hence 4 x 6 = 24 Ghalikas. This is GuHka's Ishta Kala as desired. This will belp posting GuJika the way the Lagna is computed. In the case of Night birth the position will be :

Father at Birth Time Sloka·10 When the Lagoa is not aspected by the Moon and the SUD is posited in the 81h or the 9th Bhava: if the SUD occupies a movable sign, the father will be in another village; if it is in a fixed sign, be will be in his own village; if it is in a dual sign, the father will be on his way home. When the Moon is associated with malefic planets, the mother has to endure
much distress and pain. Notes: Remember tbe signs from Aries to Pisces (tumwise) are movable (Char;' fixed (Sthira) and dual (Dweso
wabbava):
Movable Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn
Fixed Taurus
Dual Gemini
-Leo Scorpio Aquarius
Virgo Sagittarius Pisces
'The Sun is the Karaka of the father. When the Sun, Karaka of fatber, occupies a movable sign the father should be somewhere far on the move; if he is in a fixed sign, be (father) should be at home and; if he is in a dual sign, the father will be somewhere on the way. In the same way, the Moon being the Karaka of mother denotes for the position of the mother. When the Moon con· joins evil planets the mother has to suffer at the labour time and this suffering will be in proportion to the evil character of the associating planets.
9 About tbe I amp and the Qil in the Labour Room · Sioka-ii. 'The number of midwives attending on the woman in labour will correspond with the number of planets between the l.agna and the Moon. The planets outside the Moon and the Lagna will denote the number of WQn.en a!tending her without the Chamber. 'The Moon denotes the oil in the Lamp. i.e., quantity of oil left in the lamp will correspond with the degrees yet to be traversed by the Moon in ber sign. The wick of tbe lamp is to be assessed from the lagna- the portion of the Rising Sign yet to rise - and that of the Lamp itselr. from the Sun. The lords of the various directions respectively are the Sun of the East; Venus. Soulb - East; Mars - South; Rabu, South - West; Saturn, West; the Moon., North - West, Mercury, North and; Jupiter of the North - East. The door of the delivery room will be in the direction indicated by tbe powerful planets occupying tbe Kendra (Angular) houses or in the absence oC such a position., by tbe strongest of them (kendra) in the chart.
Notes: These Astrological indications have been devised in order to check the accuracy of tbe Janma Lagna and the satisraction of tbe parents of the native born. The females present in tbe Labour Room to help are called mid- wives. Their number sbould be devised on tbe basis of the planets being between the Lagna and tbe Moon. But remember. if perchance all tbe planets are so placed, do not indicate more tban S to 7 midwives. If any planet is witb tbe Moon or in the Lagna. tbe planet in tbe Lagna sbould be of bigber degrees tban tbat of tbe Lagna and tbe planet witb the Moon should be of lower degrees tban tbose of the Moon. The oil, already. burnt in tbe lamp or is left, is 10 be assessed by tbe degrees tbe Moon has traversed in ber sign or yet to traverse. This sounds incongruous in the days of electricity; but it will be true where tbere is DO electric current available and people live by oil lamps. The same way tbe direction of tbe door of tbe labour room should be indicated from the strongest planet occupying tbe Angular Hom:.f'

Sec II. Calculation of tbe several kinds of strength, etc. Sloka-1 All the 12 Rasis (Signs) rise by tum from the Easl. The first six of these from the Lagna (Ase.) represent the right side of the native and the same denote the len side of his wife. In the same manner, the Rasis (rom the 7th upto the Lagna are his left side and that for the wife are the right side. 1be lagna should be taken as life and soul of the native and the 8hava occupied by the Moon as his body. In lhis way these two Bhavas will denote all about the soul and the body of the native. While reading the birth chart of a native, tbe effects arising out of the several bhavas (whether reckoned from the Lagna or the Moon) should always be based judiciously on the auspicious or otherwise character of the respective houses, their lords and their Karakas. For example, all about the mother of the native will be devised from the 4th Bhava, its lord, its Karaka, the Moon and all the benefic/ malefic influences falling on them. In this connection it may be mentioned here that in Astrology :me Lagnas are taken into account, viz., the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna ; out of tbese, Lagna and the Rasi occupied by the Moon deserve special attention. It has been experienced that in certain cases a study of the nativity proves more fruitful in considering the respective effects of the various Bhavas when reckoned from the Moon's position in the chart rather tban the Ascendent. That is one of the reasons why tbe Moon Rasi bas been considered as tbe body of tbe Kalapursha; and a sound mind and a great soul are not possible without a strong body.
•
II Cf Chandra Kala Nadi by Dev Keralkar: Chandra Lagna is body and the Lagna is soul. Therefore, in Astrology results have been devised after examining the various 8havas from both the Lagnas . 11 is custo mary in Northern India to prepare tbe Moon Ascendant Chart also along with the Lagna Chart when writing the Horoscope.
Along with tbis, the basic principle of predictive Astrology is to examine also the lord of the Shava under consideration, its Karab and the Bhava itself. Without this no consid· eration of a nativity would be commendable.

Notes: It is not difficult to arrive at these three results: Friendship, neutrality or enemity between tbe planets. Examine the position of the Sun. His Moollrikona is Leo. (The Moollrikona signs respectively o f the Sun etc. are 5, Z. 1, 6, 9, 7 and
11. A planet's friends are tbe lords of the 2nd, 12th. Stb, 9th, 8tb and the 4tb houses from his Moolatrikona Rasi). The 2nd, 12th. 5tb, 9th, 8th and the 4th places from Leo are respectively Virgo, Cancer, Sagittarious, Aries, Pisces and Scorpio. Aries is the exaltation sign of the Sun. Their lords respectively are Mercury, the Moon. Jupiter, Mars, Jupiter and Mars. Singu· larly they are Mercury, the Moon, Jupiter and Mars . Aries has been counted twice. Therefore, actually only the 6 houses have bee n ' dealt with. The remaining 6 are Leo, Ubra, Capricorn, Aquarius, Taurus and Gemini. Their respective lords are thc Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Whcn we oounl Sat· urn and Venus once only and drop the Sun, we arc len with Venus, Saturn and Mercury. Compare these with the fanner set of planets; viz., Mercury, Moon, Jupiter and Mars. Mercury alone has come as a friend and an enemy in both the list. Therefore, be will remain neutral. Thus Venus and Saturn are left as his enemies and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter are his friends. Simi· larly, we can compute with the other planets. This is called Natural relationship of planets. Planets occupying the three houses before or after from any particular planet in the birth chart become the friends of
13
that planet and the rest become bis enemies for the time being. This is called Temporary Friendship or enmity (relationship). Some authorities opine that the planets occupying the exaltation sign of a particular planet are also his friends. Combining the three natural relations with the two temporary ones we get the 'Panchdha' (five) following types of friendship of the planets: Alimitm (great friend) Mitra (friend) Sarna (neutral), Salro (enemy), and Atisatru (great enemy). •

Aries, Taurus , Capricorn, Virgo, Canoer, Pisces and Libra are the enltation Rasis of the SUR, tbe Moon., Mars Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn respectively. When a planet occupies his exaltation Rasi, his Bala (strength) is equivalent 10 1 Rupa (full); in tbe Moolatrikona it reduces to 3/4th of a Rupa; in his own Rasi. it becomes 1/2 of a Rupa; in the Rasi of an Adhimitra it contracts to 3/41h of.

When a planet ocrupies his exaltation Bhava, but is retrograde in his motion, be gets only his Neechabala : be is without any strength. Should a planet be retrograde while in his debilitation Bhava, his strength is akin to that when in his exaltation. A planet in conjunction with another planet which is in exaltation gets 1/2 a Rupa. When he conjoins anotber who is in his debilitation he gets nothing. When a planet associates himself with malefics who may be his friends, or with henefics who happen to be his enemies, gelS only 1/2 a Rupa.
