PREFACE L a g h u P a r a s a r i o c c u p i e sa p l a c e o f p r i d e i n H i n d u astrological literature. Its principles originate from the gospel book of astrologyi.e.,Brihat ParasaraHora sastra.In thiJshort trcatisca pcculiarand specificway and lucidity hasbeenadopted Irr prcscnting the Parasaraprinciples.This short work in a true pt'rspectiveis the prime and foremostwork for thosewho want to dive deep into the vast oceanof predictive astrology. ' Vimsottari Dasa or.Udu Dasa system,which this Laghu Parasari deals is logical and in vogue since the evorutiofi of Maharishi Parasara'ssystem in Hindu astrology. -- Tiuly it is in vogue becauseit has stood to the test of time. Sanskritis the languagewhich has many different meanings for the same worcl. There are many commentaries on Laghu Parasariby illustrious commentators.Due to above peculiaiity of the Sanskrit language, the work got corrupt with many discrepancies rather due to misinterpretations of thl commentators.we have tried hereto stick to the principles strictly rather than to deviateand viberatewith various commentator's emphatic interpretations.Many points of contradictions have been dealt with logically and supporting authorities have been quoted for the sakeof authenticity and reliability. Commentaries and views of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri ,Betala,, Pt Ram Yatna Ojha and Pt. Seeta Ram Jha have been given weightageas they are upto the mark in understanding Laghu Parasari.This trio is like Hindu trinity of gods as far ai ta[hu Parasariis concerned.

Introduction

Man has been curious to know his future since the dawn of human civilisation and will be keen for the same in future also. This is more due to his never satisfying nature with his present conditioning. His hopeslie in astrology and in a broader sense in the scienceof future which comprisesof astrology,palmistry, forehead reading etc.Vhrious methods are adopted in astrology for anticipating the coming events but primary factors like planets, hbuses and signs more or lessremain the same with all of them. This work is primarily concerned with the characteristics acquired by various planets due to their lordship of. various houses.Most auspicioushouses are the 1*, 5thand 9tr'houses which form the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Most inauspicious houses are the 8th,1l-th,6thand 3'd houses in the descendingorder. Basicallyplanetshave inherent beneficand n'raleficnature. The words iuspicious and inauspicioushave been used in this commentary oi this work instead of benefic and malefic. The former are ipecific here for good and bad characteristicsof the planets due io their house lordships. A natural malefic can be auspiciousor givesauspiciousresultsduring his Dasaor Bhukti for teing the iord of an auspicious house. Like wise a natural benefic ian be inauspicious during his Dasa-Bhukti simply by owning an inauspicibushouse.The resultstold for the planets in thislext are different from the results of natal horoscopy. The results of natal horoscopy are of permanent nature and occur with more or lessintensiiy through out life. The results described here are of temporary nature and are limited to Dasa-Bhukti

periods only. Though results of Rajayoga combinations are sometimesevident through out life in some measures. The lords of Trikonas are of the sameelement a.d therefore are friendly to each other bestowing auspiciousness.Thus they are consideredauspicious in Dasacontext. The lords of Kendras form pairs of friendly and unfriendly planets. Though friends, still they are of opposite nature. Therefore they aie saicl to suspend their inherent beneficor malefic nature in Dasacontext and behave as neutrals to form Yogas with Trikona lords. Maharishi Parasarahas said at length about various types of Dasas but the great Maharishi has himself concludea tnat Vimsottari Dasa system is the best among all of them. Though Astottari, Yogini and KalachakraDasasare also used bv the rank and fileof astrologers;but vimsottari Dasa is widelyaccepted one. Maharishi Parasarasays.

Ec+ ftvilrrfr iqr Eyn{qr ffif,r{! Vimsottari Dasa is supreme in Kaliyuga, The zodiac is of 360oand every side of an equilateral triangle formed i' it sweeps 120o.There are2z Naksairas in the zodiac and 9 Naksatrasfall within 120o.This 120" correspondsto 120 years of Vimsottari Dasai.e.,6 yearsof the Sun; 10 yearsof the Moory 7 years of Mars; L8 years of Rahu; 16 yearJ of Jupiter; L9 years of Saturn;17 yearsof Mercury; T year:sof Ketu ana ZO yearsof VenusDasa.1oof zodiacstandsfor 1 year of Dasa.Some astrologersusually interpret 120yearsas full longevity of human being but it is a wrong inference.120years is just the total of the Dasa years of nine planets. of course in them also fall Maraka Dasaswhich usually end the life of an individual. Vimsottari Dasais one such scientificmethod to time good and bad periods which is based on the principle of trine or Trikona (Triangle). It was practiceamong ancient Hindu writers not to talk of the principles but more stress was laid on applicability considering what is said to be divine. The Sun is the central star of our planetary system. tf we start from the Sun, the orbits of various planets are as under :

Laghu Parasari'JatakaChandrika

11

Sury Mercury, Venus,Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn' If instead of thesun, we keep earthas the pivotal entity then the orbital order will be: Earth, Sun, Moory Mars, )upiter, Saturry Mercury and Venus' Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets, though in reality they are simply the intersection poinls gf-ihe.plths of earth and lhe Moot. These two nodes have their fixed place in the zodiac. Rahu is the point from where the Moon starts to her northem course and Ketu is the point from where the Moon starts to her southern course. Rahu and Ketu thus are the magnetic point points which have retrograde motion and arrive at the same L8 years.Solar and Lunar eclipsesoccur due to these uft"t "n"ty two nodei and after every 18 years almost similar ecliPsesoccur. Due to uniformity of their moiion theseare also the time rectifiers. Rahu-Ketu pto.rid" important clue to demarcatethe exact path and location of the Moon. Due to this property, the ancients included Rahu-Ketu in the Dasa scheme.For being northern intersection point Rahu finds a place between Mars and Jupiter and being southern intersection point Ketu is placed between Mercuryind Venus. The sequenceof Dasasarrived at is : Sury Moory Mars, Rahu, |upiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. Rahu finds a place after first three planets and Ketu after next three planets i.e., Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury' one interesting fact which supportsvimsottari Dasa system of L20years is, thit, after 120 years, the Sun and the Moon are again on the sameNaksatra and the lunar date is again t\e same #it *ur 120 years back. In this way Vimsottari Dasa is Trikona (trine) Dasa of lunar mansions. Whatever may F Naksatra of iirth r2o years of Dasa end at the 9ft Naksatra from the birth Naksatra. For calculation purposeswe start from Aswini Naksatra and finish up at Aslesacovering 9 Naksatras. This is the first cycle involving 120 years.The 2dcycle starts at Magha Naksatra and finishes it lyurtu Naksatra.similarly the 3'dcycle starts at Moola Naksatra and finishes at Revati Naksatra.

Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika

The allotment of Dasayearsto various planets is due to their practical visibility in the ecliptic. The planets are actually visible in the sky in the sameNaksatra or in trine to it again at the expiry of their Dasayears.For example if Mars is visible now in Aswini Naksatra then after 7 years,he will be visible again in Moola i.e., exactly in trine to his basic position. Geometrically some of the planets are at the same longitude while others are in trine to it after the expiry of their alloted Dasa years. This is for their practical visibility. Thus we seethat Dasa years are dependent on the practicalvisibility of the planetagain at the samelongitude or in trine to the sameor trinal Naksatra. This also supports that Vimsottari Dasa system is a Tiikona Naksatra Dasasystem.

Following the Hora Sastraof Maharishi Parasara,we to the best of our knowledge prepare a work Ududayapradeepafor the delight of astrologers.

Notes - UdudayaPradeepa seemsto be the name assigned to this text by the author of this work. Udu meansstar,Naksatra or constellationwhile Daya meansDasaor the period. Thus the name implies a lamp clarifying and enlightening the readerswith the principles of Ududasa systemor Vimsottari Dasa systemof Maharishi Parasara.As the author followed the principles of Parasari Hora therefore this short work became famous as Laghu Parasariafter the name of Maharishi Parasara. There existed a vast literature on astrology in the form of works called Horas and Samhitaslike1. SkandaHora,2. SaunakaHora,3. Brihat PrajapatyaHora, 4. Manittha Hora, 5. Kaushika Hora,6. SatyaSamhita,T. Brihat ParasaraHora, 8. Garga Hora etc. The existenceof theseFloras is mentioned in the commentaries of Bhattotpala and other commentators.ParasaraHora was held inhigh esteemin ancient times and somerecensionsof this Hora areavailableeven today. According to verse tR-d c{Rrfr Qdl Parasari Hora is further acclaimed to be suitable for prediction purposes in Kaliyuga. This is particularly true for Vimsottari Dasa system out of the various Dasa systemsmentioned there in. The author seemsto elaborateDasaprinciples exhaustively in the Slokasfurther to enhancethe predictive skills of the readers and followers. And this small work has stood to the test truly in this respectsinceits inception. Importance of Naksatra Dasa-

Notes-Various kinds of Dasas are found mentioned in ParasaraHora and other ancient treatises,viz; Vimsottari, Astottari, Kalachakra,etc.to mention a few.

SomeDasasare basedupon stars (reckoning from birth star), examplesbeing Vimsottari and Astottari Dasas.Someare based upon the strengthof planets,someon thc Rasisand so on. Though Astottari is alsoa kind of NaksatraDasa,but the author cautions us not to usethe principlesenunciateclltcre in contextof Astottari Dasa.Thus the rules set forth in this book ore'tobe used only in context of Vimsottari Dasaalone.

For this sequence there is a reasoning which we have discussedin introduction briefly.

Example- Supposethe Moon is just enteringChitra Naksatra at birth, then the native will have a balanceof 7 years of lvtrars's Dasa at birth. But such would not be the case always, if it occupies, some intermediate degree then the balance of Dasa has to be calculated by the method of proportions. SuPposethe Moon has covered 3o-20'in Chitra Nakshatra, the balance of Mars'sDasaatbirthwouldbe 5years and3 months.Theformula for calculating Dasa balanceis : x Dasayrs.of Naksatralord.

DasaBalance=@ (13'-20)

Again, as an examPle,suPPosethe Moon's longitude is 46o at birth. Then she is in Rohini Nakshatra ruled by the Moon. Rohini extends from 40oto 53o-20oi.e. the Moon is yet to traverse 7o-20'in Rohini. Degreesyet to be traversed in Rohini = (53o-20'- 46") =70 -20' = M0' But 13o-20'=800' .'. From the formula, the Moon's Dasabalance at birth =

#

x 10 years = 5 years, 5 months.

Calculations of Bhukti periods Suppose we want the Bhukti Period of planet B in the Dasa of planet A. The formula is :

18

Bhukti Period of B = A's Dasaperiod x B's Dasaperiod 120 In the exampleabovein Moon'sDasafirst Bhukti will be of the Moon. .'. Moon'Bhukt' I

This means that the native has experienced3monthsof Saturn'sBhukti alsointheMoon's Dasa. In other words the native born is running the Dasa of the Moonwith a balanceof 4 yearsand 6 months including a balance of 1. year and 4 months of Saturn's Bhukti. Bhuktis yet to be followed in the Moon's Dasa will be of Mercury, Ketu, Venus and the Sun to be calculated as above. Similarly, Pratyantar Dasacan be calculated ih each Bhukti. For more elaboration on Dasa calculations readers may go through our "Secretsof Vimsottari Dasa". The years and months calculated above are based on solar year therefore it is necessaryto adjust the Dasas and Bhuktis with the dates of the solar year or in consonancewith the Sun's degrees of birth. Phala Deepika (19/4) is very clear in this respect-

Followers of Parasari system can get proficiency regarding planets and twelve housesfrom other works based on Parasari systern. From here onwards we are going to depict nomenclatures,technicalterms and principles which are peculiar to Naksatra Dasa system (Vimsottari Dasasystem) according to ParasaraHora Sastra. Notes-The author by the wordgffi seemsto declarethat this work is not for new entrants in the field of astrology but supposesthat his readershave knowledge about houses,planets, signs and other details available in other standard works on astrologylike Brihatfataka, Phala Deepika,JatakaParijata and Brihat ParasaraHora Sasha etc. All theseworks are available from 1\4/sRanjan Publications. Some of the topics which are to be learnt from thesework are : 1. Housesand their significations, 2. Nature of the signs,3. Planetsand their nature,4. Vargaslike Navamsa,Drekkana, Hora, Trimsamsaetc.,5. Chandra Yogas, 6. Rajayogas,7. Stri Jatakaor FemaleHoroscopy,8. Ayurdaya or longevity etc. Somegeneralindications of various housesare: 1. The 1't house representsphysical body and strength, happinessand sorrows, contours, complexion, character etc.

20

Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika

2. The 2"d house represents face, speech, wealth and right eye,Maraka effectsetc. possessions, 3. The 3'd house representscourage, mental inclinations, coborns,short journeys,ear etc. 4. The 4ft house representsmother, happiness,conveyanges, house,landed propertiesetc. 5. The 5th house represents intelligence, Atman and subconciousmotivation, children, merits etc. 6. The 5h houserePresentsenemies,theft, debts,diseases,cuts and wounds, miseries, disappointment etc. 7. The 7ft house representssPouse,marriage, trade, travel, blame, impediments, Maraka effects etc. 8. The 8ft house representslongevity, death and its cause, insult, sorrows, impediments,chronic illnesses,legacies, wills, goods of the dead etc. 9. The 9fthouseindicatescharities,goodliness,righteousness, preceptor, grand childrery religion, father, long journeys etc. L0. The L0thhouse indicates profession,rank, honour' success, meansof livelihood, day to day activitiesetc. 11. The L1hhouseindicatesgains,elder brother,friends, Soup associatesetc. L2. The 12th houseindicatesexpenditures,misery,loss,waste etc. Similarly, an astrologer should be well versed in the knowledge of ownership of the signs,quadruplicity and triplicity of signs,masculinity and feminity of signs,directionsrepesented by the signs, Badhaka-sthanasfor movable, fixed and common sig.rt us the Lagna, Karkatwas of planets, planets as Karakas of various houses, bad houses,planetary stateslike Deepta, Mudita etc. The knowledge of Panchangaor ephemeris is very essential. The author wants his readersto use the aboveknowledge in this work too, but the auspiciousand inauspicious nature of

ifrt


21

planets differ here from their natural beneficand malefic nature. A cruel planet in normal course may become an auspicious in this work under certain conditions. Similarly,a cruel or malefic planet's aspect may be for the good under the conditions. Here is where Dasa-Bhukti predictions differ from general predictions for a nativity. The cruelity and gentlenessof the planets will have to be decided according the principles laid down in this work. Man's character,family conditions, status, authority fall under the domain of general prediction which by and large depend on the natural characteristicsof signs and planets and their relations among themselves and the peculiar conditions mentioned above.A man has to struggle in this world to pregerve his rights and status, and to achieve something worth while further. During the course, he finds opportunities, when he effortlessly advancesand other times inspite of his best efforts, he doesnot succeedin his endeavoursand suffersset back. It is this Dasa system which can guide a person,for which time is favourable and which one is unfavourable. Astrologers have devised many kinds of Dasa systems according to the best of their knowledge and wisdom, for one to be aware of conducive and inconducive times ahead,out of them Udu dasa system or Dasa systemis the best and applicableat all times. Vimsottari . The natal planets in a nativity bestow good or bad results accordingto their strength,placementand otherwise,which are the permanent results for a nativity. The same planets by their motion in transits and in their Dasasdepict the favourable and unfavourable times, the predictions can only be said to be completewhen we arrive at theresultant effectsto be produced by the natal significationsof planetsand Dasaperiods.For more conveniencewe can include the transit of planetsalso.Therefore the author stressesherethat while predicting by Vimsottari Dasa system,the astrologershould also keep in mind Bhava or house results. In Naksatra Dasasystemor Vimsottari Dasasystem planets are termed auspiciousor inauspiciousor evil according to their


22

house or Bhavalordships e.g.,in Vimsottari Dasasystemthe Ll.th lord is termed inauspicious but it does not mean that he will always be bad for income. An exalted planet in the 11th house or its lord in exaltation produces a Yoga for much income but the 11ft lord will not produce good resultsin his Dasaparticularly or will produce evil results,unlesshe is associatedwith the lord of a trine or Trikona house. In this way we have to proceedfor Dasa results. The Bhava or house results are the permanent results occuringalways,while the Dasaresultsaretemporaryand pertain to good or bad for the tirne being.Dasaresults are indicative only of the conduciveor irconducivetimesduring the Dasa. In Dasa system, it is only Rasisor signs which are vital and we do not have to follow Chalit chart or Bhava chart. If Cancer rises at birth then Leo will be on the 2"dhouse, Virgo on the 3rd and Libra on the 4'h and so on. In Dasa system all planets will have to get somehouse lordship compulsorily.In a Bhavachart it sometimeshappens that a sign may extend to two house cusPs while the other sign may not fall even on a single house cusP' These divisions are man made and are not to be found in the heaven. Therefore our Maharishis did not acknowledge it. Aspects of planets -

Saturn is e'xceedinglypowerful when he castshis glancesat the -l0tr' houses.Jupiter is very auspiciousin his glancesat 3"r ancl and the 5th 9tr'houses.Mars is potent in his glancesat the 4thand 8thhouses. Now, what is specialabout the specialaspects?Saturn is the planet of labour and manual work. The 3'd being the house representingcourage,mental out look and arms which combined with manual work do produce somethingworth while. The L0th is the house of professionand advancementin professioncan be achieved by persistant efforts and labour, the attribut0s of Saturn. Jupiter, the greatestfortune aspectsthe 5ft and the 9thhouses. The Sthis the house of sub-consciousness and Poorvapunya i.e. forceof previous good deeds;the 9th is the housewhich manifests through the aid of father,preceptorand righteousness.Jupiter's own placementindicatesthe areamost potent in the chart. Thus a tripod of housesis formed which are most potent in the chart according to the inherent nature and strength of Jupiter for that particular horoscope. Mars being the war lord or the lord of deathhas got full aspect on the 4th or the house of grave and the 8th or the house of death. In this work only full aspectsincluding the special aspects of Saturn, jupiter and Mars have been considered.No weight is given to partial aspectslike one-fourth, half, three-fourth aspects. The planetary results are greatly modified by the power of aspects.In natal astrology the aspectsof benefics,like Jupiter, Venus,strong Moon and Mercury (unassociatedwith malefics) produce good and enhancethe good resultsof the housesover which they fall. They alsotone down the evil nature of the malefic

Notes-Which are the Tiikona houses?Actually, the 1't, Sth and 9,hare the Trikona houses.For this we have the foll0wing Slokas: frqq'{t fqtml:l FFq-gffi fir{rtrqqqpq{q Eiq s{il frtffirt The L*,4\ 7h and 10fthousesare calledKendrasor quadrants, while houses5,hand 9,hcounted from the Lagna have the name Tlikonas or trines. dftrqdRfq: t Contrary to this, we haveffiun 3rft ffi meaning 1st,6'thand 9'h are the Trikona houses' But Saravali, jataka Parijata and many other commentatorstake only 5thand 9thhouses as Tiikona houses.Jataka Parijata says Gril-( ffi"r TE ffi ql "-qq 'Betala', also known as Betala Sastri Pt.

Moreover the word t{stur means three angles and the L't, 5'hand 9'hhousesform three vertices of an equilateral triangle. If only the 5thand 9s houses are to be included why should the word ffiq firikona) be used? So Pt. Sita Ram |ha strongly argues that the Lagna should invariably be included under the caption of firantqor trine. He further quotes why these placesare held auspicious:

The Lagna denotes the body, therefore the lord of Lagna is auspiciousunder all conditions.The 5thhouse is the house of Poorvapunyaor merits acquireddue to deedsof one'sprevious birth and the 9thhousedenotesDharma or meritoriousqualities acquired due to his father's or preceptor's initiation.

LaghuParasari-Jataka Chandrika

i.e. the 1st sthand 9'hhousesare odd when the Lagna is an odd sign. If the Lagna is even, then even signs are identical to the 5th and 9thhouses.Thus Tiikona lords can never be the 3'dand l.L,n house lords. In the Sloka it (sR) word has been used in the context of evils of Tiishadayadhisasi.e.the lords of the 3d, 6mand 1Lfthouses then the meaning of the Slokawould be"If. in a horoscopeall the Trishadayalords be evil then all the Tiikona lords be auspicious". qR word is not to be interpreted that way. The correctinterpretation of ?R word would be "The Trikona lord is auspiciousbut if he happensto be a Tiishadayalord (6th lord) then such a Trikona lord is not fully auspicious but is a blemished auspiciousplanet". The auspiciousnessof the Trikona lord lies in the fact that he should not be the 5th lord. A Trikona lord can never be the 3rd or llth lord has been discussedearlier here. The auspiciousnessor inauspiciousnessof the Trikona or Trishadayalords here is only valid till they are not related to other houselords. \A/hatwill be the results if thesetwo are related to other house lords will be described in the chapter named Yogadhyaya. Susloka Sataka a south Indian treatise based on Laghu Parasarialso confirms the aboveview in Sloka 14.

A benefic Tiikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6m or 8thhouse at the same time should be treated as somewhat auspicious. A malefic Trikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6th

q frvrFilW lulr *tqr: ffiqr:

qRt

If beneficsplanets are the lords of Kendras (quadrants), they do not yield good results.If malefic planetsown Kendras, they do not yield bad results. Trikona lords i.e.,the lords of the 1",5\ and 9e housesbecome stronger increasingly. Tiishadaya lords i.e., the lords of the 3d, 6thand L1thhouses also observe or follow the same trend. Notes-In the preceding sloka we studied the nature of Tiikona and Tiishadaya lords. Here the nature of the lords of Kendras is being told. Natural malefics are the Sun, Saturn and Mars. Natural beneficsare Jupiter, Venus,Mercury and the Moon. Beneficsby owning quadrants do not yield good results.But it doesnot mean they becomeinauspicious,rather they losetheir beneficenceand behave as neutrals. Similarly,natural maleficsby owning quadrantsor Kendrasdo not yield evil results.But it doesnot meanthey becomeauspicious, rather they losetheir maleficenceand behaveas neutrals. The weak Moon and malefic associatedMercury are termed similar to malefics by somecommentators'They term the strong Moon and Mercury (aloneor combined with benefics)as benefics and quote authorities like Brihat fataka in their support, It would not be out of place to mention that the Moon is weak from the 8'h day of dark half or Krisna Paksato the 76 day of the bright half or Sukla Paksa. Again, are we to include the tagna in Kendras or not ? Differencesof opinion ponder over this. Earlier it was pointed out that Sri VinayakaSastriexcludesthe Lagna from Tiikonas at one place but at a later placehe includesthe Lagna in tikonas.

30

Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika

According to Brihat ParasaraHora Sastradr{EqtFdfu+cid;( €ilr frftrdl i.e.,the name Kendra pertains to the 1"',4'h,7thand LO'hhouses.Sri Vinayaka Sastriwrites. *+qtt qEe*gqtTffri{rrtxq:r i.e.,the 4th,7th and l,0thhousesstand for the word Kendra. According to Pt. Sita Ram jha, earlierly the characteristicsof tikonas were told, therefore the Lagna being included in that schemeof planets,here we remain concernedwith the 4th,7th and LOthhousesas Kendra houses.He quotes further : q-sr Td {q quq' trc' qrsfr atFnrl €qrq d A fr 116rr;rrpr{tr:tl ffi m{r( n-ff}{l-di {tTI +q Err weqr srqr: sHs-f, *q tqfldrd qfiqe{rr One who is endowed with all kinds of comforts, kingdom and beautiful women forgets his own nature, for the mind being engaged in these comforts. This is a common feature in this material world. The above comforts are denoted by the 4th,1g't' and 7thhouses.It is therefore quite understandable and natural for the lords of thesehousesto forget their own inherent nature. The part of the sloka suggeststhat the houses or house lords of the samecharacterbecomestrongerthan the previous one as they comelater i.e.,the L't, 4'n,7hand 10thhouses and their lords becomestrongerin the ascendingorder.So does the 1."t,5'hand 9thhousesand their lords. So also the 3'd,6thand 1l.tr'housesand their lords becomestronger in the ascending order. This is in respect of their qualities to do good or evil in Dasacontext. Another important point of differenceof opinion on the part of Pt. VinayakaSastriis thus-lf the lords of the 3'd,6'r'orlLth housesare benefics,they will not lose their auspiciousnature. ggl-qrrd{rr€' r gfrrfq-dl He writes ttcntkt: {qHi ffi Further he says,the beneficlords of the 3'd,6thand LLthare more beneficialthan beneficsowning Kendras.dddrqk$grqrfr{i 1iMqfiw*tdvmr' Urdr sr*s(t t But the lords of the 5thand 9'hare more beneficial than the Tiishadaya lords and the lords of


31

Kendras. Such interpretations are totally at variance with thosc of others and may presentcertain difficulties in the interpretation of Slokas relating the effectsof the lords of houses for certain ascendants.Theseare the areaswhichrequire certain amount of researchand elaboration. In the earlier Sloka to this we were told that a tishadaya lord be'hea natural beneficor malefic works for the evil in Dasa context and a planet becomesauspiciousb! owning Trikona house. The author in this sloka tells about the way a lord of Kendra behaves.If natural beneficsbe Kendralords then to give auspicious results, they should also be lords of Tiikonas. So is also the casewhen natural malefics becomelords of quadrants. If Kendra or quadrant lords are to becomeevil, they should own Trishadaya houses i.e., the 3'0,6ft and 1lft houses additiorially. Auspiciousnessor inauspiciousnessof a planet is not causedjust due to ownership of a Kendra. The word ztR here implies that no planet causesgood or evil simply by owning a Kendra. The s-ftild Tgffir {sr*rfc*lt 12th sloka of the text denotes-Eqs q qtftrrqgd:lt ForKarka orCancerlagna,natural ffi @ malefic Mars becomesthe 10thlord and is supposed to be auspiciousin Dasa contextfor not being a Kendra lord but due to his lordship of the Sthhouse,a tikona. To show the inertness of Kendra lord to do good or evil, the above Sloka has been put in the text and confirms that a Kendra lord is neither for the good nor for the evil. The Lagna is the primary Tiikona as well as Kendra. It is therefore, the Lagna lord (a Kendra lord) becomesauspicious by owning Lagna as Trikona only. But if he also owns the 6s, a Trishadaya house, he produces evil. Mars owns Scorpio Lagna, his evil is less than Mars (the 6ft and 11slord) of Gemini Lagna where he is twice evil. Evil of ScorpioLagna'sMars is even less than Saturn (the 6th and 7th lord) of Leo Lagna, for Mars also owns a Trikona, the Lagna. The Lagna lord being lord of Kendra and Trikona becomesRajayogakarakaor greatly auspicious. Mercury is Rajayogakarakafor Gemini and Virgo Lagnas. So is

32


)upiter for Sagittarius and PiscesLagnas. The auspiciousnessis becausea Kendra lord alsoowns a Tiikona i.e.,the Lagna. The 4th,7thand 1,0thhousesare Kendra houses,the Sun and the Moon ownining these become neutrals and become auspiciousby owning the 4th Kendra,the Lagnaonly becauseit is also a Trikona. The 7'hhouse is the 3rd Kendra and according to the text it is a Maraka or death inflicting house and its lord is calleda Maraka.AnaturalbeneficbecomingaMarakaby owning the 7th house is not good. The 7thhouse being an odd house, therefore none of its lord can be a Trikona lord and henceits lord cannot be auspicious. The 7'h lord can only be 6'h lord (he cannot own the odd 3'dor Ll,thhouse) and hence he is evil. The 7thlord can also be the 8'hlord, then he is dreadful. The 7th lord Saturn can only be the 6thor 8h lord and no other 7s lord can own a Trishadayaor Tiikona house. Saturn is the only planet who can become the 6thor 8'hlord being the 7th lord. Therefore excepting Saturn all the planets being lords of the 7thhouse remain neutral. But as Marakas the benefics as the lords of the 7thare inauspicious.It will be explained ahead. For Scorpio Lagna Saturn is neutral being the 4thlord but resultantlyinauspiciousby owning the 3d housealso.In contrast Venus is more malefic for CancerLagna as he owns the 4thand L1h house and according to r-dcTt{dftdq Ll"thlord is more evil than the 3rd lord. For Leo Lagna Saturn lording the 6th and 7th is more evil than Venus who lords the 10th and 3rd houses. For Gemini Lagna Mars owning the 6th and Llth houses is deadly evil. Similarly Mercury for ScorpioLagna is twice evil if he does not occupy the 8th house.The 8th lord in the 8th eradicatesthe evils of the 8th lordship, it will be discussedlater. Saturn is more auspiciousfor Taurus Lagna than for Libra Lagna as he lords the strongestKendra, the L0thhouse and the strongestTiikona the 9'hhousefor TaurusLagna;the 9thand 10th lord is stronger than the 4'hand 5'hlord. For Leo Lagna, Venus and Saturnboth own Kendrasand Trishadayasbut Venusowns the 3"r house while Saturn owns the 6'h house besides both


33

owning Kendras. Due to ownership of Kendras both become neutral but the 6'h house being more evil than the 3'd house, thereforeSaturn is more evil of the two. For ScorpioLagna Saturn is more evil than Mars. The reasonis that Mars though owning a strongerTrishadayais alsothe lord of a Tiikona (the Lagna) which considerably reducesthe evil of the 6'hhousebut Saturn is purely a Trishadaya (the 3'd)lord and neutral being the 4thhouse lord. An evil Ti'ikona lord is always less malefic than an evil Kendra lord. For CancerLagna Jupiter is certainly lessinauspicious than Venus and Saturn. Similarly for Capricorn Lagna Mars is more evil than Mercury. Before arriving at the final judgement, the position of the concerned planet i.e., debilitation, inimical or friendly house placement,exaltationetc.has to be seen.This is very important as this book professesto teachthe additional points peculiar to Parasarasystem. As was pointed out *+r; qFil-;zrvn€Td:,the principles of other works should be understood and must be augmented by the principles propounded in this book. Astrology is a vast ocean and a number of works have to be learnt for acquiring proficiency, as Varaha Mihira says: ffigP1-6]fi4q; I wrd-av-{: |vgl.d qgrfd qril.o-*. s[ifi-6t{?rdn;

Also, the study of classicalworks must be supplementedby patient research and experience.The grace of God and preceptor'sblessingsessentiallypave the way for making precise predictions. Numerical evaluation of the planets owing various housesThis method was advocatedby Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha the author of Phalit Vikas. Sri Ojha was a bold and erudite scholar of astrology,who bravely criticised even Varaha Mihira in his Phalit Vikasfor adopting the systemof Yavana'sdivisional charts prevalentnow having setasideour own ancientsystem.He was the head of the department of astrology at Kashi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya.

The 2ndand 12s houses lords from the Lagna give results according to the nature of planets they are conjoined with or according to the housesthey occupy or according to the nature of the housesidentical with their other signs. Notes-So far we have discusssedthe nature of the lords of , Kendras and Tiikonas. The nature of the lords of the 2nd and 12th houses is being discussedin this Sloka. These two houses are adjacentto the Lagna,2nd is just after it and 12th immediately preceding it. The natures or characteristicsof these two house lords are to be decided by their associationsand the houses identical with their other signs. If the planets are placed in friendly signs, exaltations etc they produce good. If they are in good planetary states like Deepta or Mudita etc they produce good othewise bad. As is said:

Panditsita RamJhaalsoopinesthat the lords of the 2nd and 12th housesdo not give resultsaccording to their inherent nature but give resultsaccordingto the housesoccupiedor houselords conjoined with or house characteristicsof their other signs.

For Cancer Lagna natives the 2ndlord Sun and L2th lord Mercury if occupy a malefic sign in the L0thor 7h house and are relateclto the lords of these houses, they produce somewhat auspicious results. For this reason the Sun and Mercury's conjunction is consideredauspiciousin the 7thor 10thhouse for CancerLagna.For associationswe can devisefollowing facts : (i) If the 2ndand L2thlords occupy Tiikona housesor conjunct their lords, they produce auspiciousness. (ii) Very auspicious,if occupy the Lagna or associateits lord. (iii) Somewhator mildly auspicious,if occupythe 3'd,6'hor LLthin a beneficsign or associatea beneficTrishadayalord.

If the Moon is in the 2n'thouse unrelated to any planet then sheis simply a Maraka.

€ q.[ vJjr+r;qnrdr{rffisfu +ffiq(il etl The lord of the 8th house rules the 12th house as counted from the 9th house.Thus, he rules the loss of fortunes. Therefore, he doesnot yield good results.But if he is alsothe lord of Lagna, he is auspicious. Notes-Out of all the housesof lossesor expensesthe lord of the houseof loss of fortune i.e.,8th is most inauspicious.The 8th is calledhouseof death.Deathoccurswhen bank balanceof good fortunes is exhausted. According to Pt. Sita Ram Jha the word wntrqilsfr is used where eTfr is used becausethe 1st, 5th and 9th are auspicious house and out of these the l"st is weakest.Thereforewhen the 8th lord becomesauspiciousbeing the Lagna lord at the same

time then if he is the 5th or 9th lord he will be even more auspicious. This implies that the 8th lord, if happe-nsto be the lord of a Tiikona at the sametime he is auspicious.If he happens to be Trishadaya lord at the same time then he is particularly inauspicious.Ii he is not the lord of any other house then he is simply inauspicious.It is due to this that the Sun and the Moon are not supposed to be so inauspicious as the 8th lords. Loss of fortune is sezerely painful as Kunti the mother of Pandavassaid in Mahabharatha.

If fortune is strong, every kind of happinessis easily attained. If the luck is lost, everything is lost. It is for this reason that, the sageshold the lord of the 8th house to be extremely evil. The extreme auspicious nature of the lord of Lagna is also told thus: Yfi{crq' €q $Td'qrffi wrK{krgt rrqFf, +$fil:l

It is for this reason that the lord of the Lagna is held to be extremely auspicious. In the previous Slokas the author of the text described the characteristics of the lords of Kendras, Tiikonas, Tiishadayas,

and 2d and L2tr'houses.Now what is specialabout the 8thlord that a separateSlokais inducted.It is like this, if the Randhresha or 8thlord is also the Lagna lord and he be in the Lagna or the 'Sthhouse then only he is endowed with the property to bestow auspiciousnessas he then strengthensthesetwo houses.This also suggestsabout the importanceof the positioning of the 8'h lord. If he is positioned in atry other house than the L't or 8th house, then he is not auspiciousbut destroysthe significations of that house becausethe evil of be.ingthe 8th lord is in much of Lagna lord (a weak greater play than the auspiciousrress practically. experiencecl has been and this Trikona) Thus, if the same1't ancl8'r'lorclbeing in the Lagna (KendraTrikona) or 8s housebe relatedto a Trikona lord, then he can be greatly auspicious (Karaka)otherwise he singly placed is auspiciousonly. If the 8thlorcl being also a Trishadayalord be relatedto a Trikona lord elsewherethan tl-re8thhouse,he and the Tiikona lords both cannot be Yogaproductive or cannot bestow The 8tr'lord,if he is not in the 8this certainly evil. auspiciousness. For Gemini Lagna, Saturn being the 9'hlord also becomes the 8tr'lord, thereforehe getsendowed with property of loss of Bhagya or fortune, if he is relatedto the 10mlord Jupiter he cannot be a Karaka. In the next sloka there is a corollary to this Sloka qr€tyrd *cq qfqqqdfi(-The Sun and the Moon remain free of the blemish of being the 8th lord and it does not mean they becomeauspicious,they can only be auspiciousif they are in their own signs in the 8'hhouse and this is only possible for Sagittariusand Capricorn Lagnas.

For Aries Lagna Venusis a strong Maraka, if in the 7th, as he owns two Marala housesone being a Kendra, the 7ft house' In caseof Gemini Lagna,Jupiter owns the 7'hand LOthhouses therefore a first rate Maiakesa particularly if he occupies the 7th house. similar is the caseof Mercury for sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas. None of the malefics i.e., the Sun, Mars and Satut'n can own two K?ndras besides being the 7thlord. Blemish of Kendradhipatya does not occur to the malefics, so potential of the horoscope does not deplete, if they becomeneutral' Whatever blemish ]upiter or Mercury acquire for being the 7ft lord a Kendra as well as Marakasthana is that Jupiter and Mercury can provide benefic results by being in the 7th house due to the concept of PanchaMahapurusha Yogasbut the severe blemish of Maraka also accompanies.If Jupiter and Mercury occupy other Kendras in own signs than the 7thhouse then Kendradhipatya Dosha do not occur to them so severely' Venus being the 7thlord can also own the 2ndand l-2'hhouses for Aries and scorpio Lagnas. If he occupiesthe 7ft then he is a severe Maraka being also the Karaka or significator of the 7h house. Similar is not the case for Mars for Taurus and Libra Lagnas. If the 7th lord as Kendra lord posited in the 7th is related to a Trikona lord then such 7th lord is endowed with Yogakaraka qualities i.e.,he is extremelyauspiciousin his Dasa.But in Maraka cbntext he is direly a Markesa or death inflicting.

If the 7thand Trikona lords are related then in Trikona lord's Dasaand 7thlord's Bhukti Rajayogaor greatly auspiciousresults are experienced but in the end one has to experience Maraka results also.For example, if for an Aries Lagna native the 2"dand 7h lord Venusis related to Jupiter the th and 12hlord then in the end of Venus's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa there will be Maraka results. Venus is double Marakesahere. The last part of the Sloka 11 tells that the blemish of being the 8thlord does not imply to the Sun and the Moon. Much has been said about this under the noteson Sloka 9. Generalising the discussionon Sloka 10-1Lwe can conclude thus(i) If the benefics owning Kendras are in their own signs, in Kendrasthey bestow auspiciousresults. (ii) If the benefics owning Kendras are also Maraka-sthana lords and occupy Maraka-sthanasthey give intenseMaraka results. (iit) If the benefics owning Kendras are in auspicious houses i.e,, the L"t,the 5ft or 9s and are related to their lords, then they are Yogaproducing and bestow great auspiciousness. . alongwith some Maraka results. (i")

If Kendra lords are in inauspicious houses then they give inauspiciousresults.

(v) If the benefic7h lord (Kendradhipati) is relatedto a Trikona lord he bestowsYogaor auspiciousresults in the beginning of hisBhukti orAntardasabut in the end givesMarakaresults. Some say that benefics by owning quadrants become Papa or evil. If benefics would have been defective or evil by owning any of the Kendras then how the Lagna lord would have bestowed good results even by owning the most inauspicious8h house.Then all the exercisedone abovewould have been a waste. Therefore the logical interpretation is that benefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon become severe Marakas by owning the 7thhouse (a Kendra) and their intensity to bestow Maraka results is in the descendingorder i.e., Jupiter

Characteristicsof Rahu and Ketu-

€qxrq.r*arfrarqrdmfgftr t,, TtrdFdrfr r*dr uRfra;66qit,,'1 The dark planets, Rahu and Ketu strongly give the results of the houses they occupy or the houses owned by the planets conjunct with them. Notes-The shadowy planets(i.e.,the nodes),Rahu and Ketu do not own any sign independently, they are indeed very strong and should not be ignored thoughVaraha Mihira and afew other Acharyas have not given their results in detail. Natally their results can be understood from texts like ParasaraHorE Jataka Pariiata, Phala Deepika etc.For results of their Dasasaccording to this text this separateSloka is inducted. ThehousesoccupiedbyRahu and Ketu shouldbeascertained first as auspicious or inauspicious. Rahu and Ketu will act according to this quality of the house,if they solitarily occupy it. Inan auspicioushousethey will produce auspiciousresultswhile in an inauspicious, the contrary.They will be neutral in the 2nd, 12rh,4h,7thand 10s houses.In the lst sthand 96 they will be auspicious. In the 8ft they will be extremely evil. In the 3'd, 6ft and 11ft they will be inauspicious. These will be the results if they alone are present in thesehouses. Rahu and Ketu also give the results of the planet they are conjoined to. Firstly ascertain the auspiciousness and inauspiciousnessof the planet due to his ownership' They will bestow results according to this characteristicof the planet. The reasonbehind is :

rdnlfq{f(dl ffi: feretqrqr€d e e v,eii {$rdd:l I They are termed yqd or strong becausethey are capable of eclipsing even the visible gods like the Sun and the Moon. They do not hlve their own results as they do not have their orbs due to non illumination, rather much depends uPon the house they occupy. They are the points of intersection of the Moon's track

51


with the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Sun). Thus they are the megnetic points capableof attracting the results of the house occupied by them and the planet conjunct to them. One more fact that is worth noting and hasbeen experienced in practiceis that Rahu-Ketualso give to someextent results of the planets aspectingthem. The a.rthor of the text seemsto have included it in the conjunction. Example - In the chart below the Lagna is Taurus, Rahu is in the 9n housein Saturn'ssign.It is conjunctto the Sun and Mercury Lagna Mars

If related Kendra and Trikona lords are unrelated to any inauspiciouslord and they themselvesdo not own inauspicioushouse then auspiciousresultsare manifold. Notes-This chapter is named Yogadhyayaand deals with specialcombinationsof planetscapableof producing extremely auspicious results. Such chapters are common features with almost every text book on Hindu astrology and there the Yogas go by special names as Nabhasa Yogas, Rajayogas,Pancha MahapurushaYogasetc. But the treatment of Yogasin this text is a special feature of Parasarasystem. And such a treatment is not to be met with in other text books. The strong Lagna, Lagna lord, the Moon, the Moonsign lord, the Sun and the Sun sign lord add to the potential of a horoscope and the native will have auspicioustimes aheadin his life. If at the same time some of the Kendra and Trikona lords are also related then the native will certainly be long lived, acquirestatus,

blemished Kendra or Trikona lord or another evil lord enter into the combination then it is blemish to the Yoga or combination and the auspiciousnessis diminished. Complete Yogaresults are possibleonly from the unblemished Kendra and Trikona lords. Pt. Sita Ram Jha says thatTIaFQIfiT.( suggeststhat relations are of various types but relatiqn with an evil lord spoils the combination. Here qlq should be taken asenemy sigrUdebiltation, combustion etc. Becausea planet is weak in such statestherefore the word em (strong) is used. The logical reasoning is-

According to Sloka 4 of this text the definition and significations irentioned in other texts are adopted here also but th"eauspiciousnessand inauspiciousnessof this text are not the ,urr," ui the beneficenceand maleficencementioned there. The cruel planets of ottrer textsbecomeauspicioushere under certain condiiions. Therefore natal astrology and directional astrology do not work at a common platform.

Inauspicious planets anclhouseshave been discussedin slokas 5 to 9. The blemishes and goodnessesacquired by the planets are1. All the Tiikona lords are auspicious. 2.

The 9'hlord Saturn is blemished being the 8thlord. Therefore combination of the two cannot produce Yoga as both are blemished. In Leo Lagna chart, the Sthlord Jupiter is blemished being the 8*hlord. Mars the 4s lord being the 9'hlord eradicatesthe evil of Jupiter, if the two planets are related. In an Aries Lagna chart the 9'h and 12h lord Jupiter is not blemishedbut being associatedwith the 1lft lord Saturn,Jupiter as L2h lord becomes blemished. Therefore the combination of Saturn and Jupiter doesnot yield auspiciousresults. In Gemini Lagna chart the 9thlord Saturn is blemished being the 8thlord therefore his combination or relation with the 10ft lord Jupiter is not auspicious as fupiter is also the 7h lord a Maraka blemished with Kendradhipatya Dosha.

some commentatorshave beenrigid on the language of sloka and say that it should particularly be among the 9mand 10'hlords. Different people have sung in different tunes.But the essenceof the wordi qd and q;-Clies in the 9'hand ].0h houses and their lords. It is better for the readers to avoid any controversy and stick to the essence.We put before our readersa few facts to the best of our knowledge. In this sloka Rajayogasare formed according to the words EreF{, q$T€ and sf,eRfGf while the Rajayogas formed by relationships have been told in the earlier slokas. In otherwords Yogas formed here are due to the place value of Kendra and Trifona. Following this principle, the Kendra and Trikona lords must have one of the four pronged relationship' In the first sloka gq-tlq ClHq was important, whill in the second sloka TlErtlql-tf( was the key word. As these two q"C have been may not be interpreted differently here trC, q,rot"d. These factors generally apply to all the.house lords 6ut are vital for great auspiciousnessof the Kendra and Trikona lords. ExamplesIf in a CancerLagna chart the 10hlord Mars is in the th house and the th lord fupiter is in the L0'hhouse then it is a house exchangeand is th-estrongestYoga of 1st grade. It will not be considered as the Yoga of the 5thand 6thlords. In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the 10'hlord Mars and the th lord 9'hhouse then Jupiter together eiiher be in the 10h house or the it is a 2ndgrade RajaYoga' In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the l'Othlord be in the th house in L't, 3d or 5'h |upiter's sign and-be aspectedby Jupiter from the -t,o,rr". in Martian house L0'h the in be or iI the 9thlord Jupiter then it is house, 7th or sign and be aspectedby Mars from 3'd,4th a 5'd grade Rajayoga.ihese three types are the Yogas that are mentioned in this Sloka. In a CancerLagna chart, if the 5s lord Mars be in the 6ft house and the 6'hlord Jupiter be in the 5thhousethen it is predominantly


66

a Yogaformed by the houseexchangebetweenthe 5ft and 6h lords and is not a Karaka Yogaor Rajayogabut rather a feebleYoga. If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 1.0'hand 56lord Mars and the th and 66lord Jupiter are conjunctin the 5h then it is a Karaka Yoga and if in the 6th house then it being a Yoga of the 5h and 10ft and the 6thlords is not a Karaka Yoga. If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 5h and 10h lord Mars be in the 5ft house in Sagittarius and be aspectedby fupiter from the L0s, L2s or 2"d house then here the 5'h and 1.0'hlord Mars will be aspectedby the 6thlord Jupiter and it can not be a Karaka Yoga. If in a CancerLagna chart Jupiter in the 5h housebe aspected by Mars from the 10\ 11thor 2"dhouse, here Jupiter in the 5ft Mars

Mars is a Yogakarakafor Cancer Lagna. Therefore Mars and Jupiter form a Rajayoga. According to this text the resultsof the planetsdepend uPon the housesthey own and not on their own or their sign's inherent natures. Here ownership of the house is important and at least one of the planetsmust be in other's house.

(related by house placement) The speciality of efff9Td Yoga is that it is not affected,if any third planet is related with one of the two Yogaproducing planetse.g.,if in Cancer lords Mars and Jupiter be related Lagna chart the 9thand LOth sr.zi-qrfrrd placement) and Jupiter be with Saturn (house by (the 6thand 9'hlord Jupiter conjunct the 7'hand 8thlord Saturn) then Saturn cannot destroy the Karaka Yoga caused by Mars and Jupiter. The results of Mars Dasa,jupiter's Bhukti and Saturn's Pratyantara will be far more auspicious than the results of Jupiter's Dasa, Mars's Bhukti and Saturn's Pratyantara.The three planets are samebut the difference lies in the fact that Mars, the Dasa lord and Rajayogakaraka is not related with Saturn. Examplesof Aries Lagna(i) If the 9ft lord Jupiter be in the 10thhouse and the 10ft lord Yoga and is a popular Saturn be in the 9,h,it is ai-ffId Ral'ayogathough blemished.

,

erctr=qs@t qorfre@rr

A planet in exaltation, Moolatrikona, own sign, strong in shadavargais termedas strongand this is true but we are talking of special rules according to this text, therefore the terms auspicious,inauspicious,blemished,unblemished, strong and weak etc. will have to be adopted according to the rules laid down in this text as well as otherwise. Therefore according to Sloka 7 of the text, the LOshouse is strongestamongst the Kendra lords. In this Sloka 17 for dq+erg sm we shall have to take strong L0thhouse lord. In this chapter Rajayogadhaya, to summarise, what has been said about auspicious results is : Sloka 14-If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related and do not own the Trishadava or the 3'd,6thand l"1thhouses then

70


they bestow Rajayogaor geatly auspiciousresults. Sloka 15- If the Kendra and Tiikona lords be blemished then also bestow auspiciousresults,if they are related.But here only one planet should be blemishedas one can mend or eradicate the blemish of the other. If both are blemished no Rajayoga 'strong' hasbeenusedasan adjective results.In this Slokaqffi or to Kendra and Trikona lords i.e.,the strong Kendra and Tiikona lords, which are the 9thand L0thhouselords. Sloka16-The qC andt5.di.e., the9thand 10sshouldeitherbe in the 1"0'h and 9thhousesor be togetherin one of thesetwo houses or oneof thembe in other's oneof thesetwo housesand be aspected results. by his dispositorthen alsogreatauspiciousness DiscussingunblemishedKendra and Trikona lords in Sloka 14 and the blemished9'hand 10'hlords in Sloka 15 and Kshetra houselords in Sloka 16,the or houserelationsof the 9thand 1,0'h author of the text wraps up the remaining relations of the Kendra and Tiikona lords in this Sloka 17 of the text. To generalisethe meaning of the sloka is like this(i) If the 10thhouse lord is relatedto any of the Trikona lords then suchrelationshipproducesgreatly auspiciousresults or (ii) if any of the Kendra lord either blemishedor otherwiseis relatedto the strongesttikona lord then alsosuchrelationship is productiveof greatly auspiciousresultsor Yogakarakatwa. Now we suppose,if the lords we are discussingbe debilitated weak by si6n or otherwise, the Yogawill be very weak. It seems also includes such inherent or natural that the word qffi involved. planets of the strengths The relationsbetweenthe Kendraand Trikonalordshavebeen discusseddirectlyor indirectlyin theearlierSlokas.ThisSlokahas beeninductedsimply to add that the9'hand 10'hlords should also be strongotherwisei.e.,by placement,occupation,Vargasetc. This 17'hSlokalaysimpetuson the factwhen thebestRajayoga is caused?It is causedwhen the 10s lord and a Trikonalord are related or the 9thlord and a Kendra lord are related.If one or both

71


of them are exalted then it is best, if in own sign, a little lessthan bestand if in a friendly sign then further little lessand so on. Example- In an Aries Lagnachart the 9thand 7thhouselords respectivelyare Jupiter and Venus.Jupiter is also the 12thlord, Venus is also the 2ndlord. Though Jupiter being the 9thlord is unblemished but as 12thlord he acquiresblemish through conjunction or occupation. Therefore by being conjunct with Venus a Maraka, Jupiter acquires Maraka property due to conjunctionas L2'hlord. Venusis also blemishedbeing a Kendra lord. Hence the Yoga or combination formed by conjunction of Venusand Jupiter is futile as both are blemished. Similarly, we can work out effective and ineffective combinations of Kendra and Trikona lords in the ligf;t of guidelinesoffered by the text. Let us examine a few more horoscopesExample - The chart under considerationis of Late President Dr. RajendraPrasad. (0 The Lagna (a Kendra and Trikona)and 4h (a Kendra) lord Jupiter is in a Tiikona, the 9d'house,forming a powerful Rajayoga. (ii) Mercury, the 7th(Maraka)and 10hhouselord is in the Lagna with Mars, the 5thand 12thhouse lord.

Notes-Suppose the Lagna is Aries. If the 10ft lord Saturn and the 5thlord Sun are related as told earlier then they form greatly auspiciouscombination.Supposethe 9thlord Jupiter is not related to the Sun and Saturn.Then in the Dasasof the Sun and Saturn, the Bhukti of auspiciousJupiter being the 9*hlord though unrelated to the Sun and Saturn, will also produce auspicious(Yogakaraka)rsults.

{'1lT drr' vrq-*16561 nP', In this world, a virtuous person ever strives to do good to other people. But a wicked person always tries to do harm to others evenif it may not serveany purpose to him. Similar is the casewith auspiciousplanets.During the courseof their Dasa, whenever the Bhukti and Pratyantaraof Yogakarakasoccur,they yield Yogakarakaresults. Conclusivelywe can statethat if the Dasaof an auspicious (Yogakaraka)planet intervenes between the Dasa of the related 9thand LO'hlords (Kendra and Trikona lords) then the D a s a o f t h i s u n r e l a t e d a u s p i c i o u sp l a n e t a l s o p r o d u c e s auspiciousresults.More explicitly,it is not necessarythat this auspiciousplanet must be relatedwith the 9'hand LO'hlords.

The word 9l-cl: has.beenused in the Sloka which tells that mixed resultsare also obtainedin the Bhukti of such auspicious planets.This condition arisesif Dasa lord is blemished. In that casethis auspiciousplanet being not relatedwith the Dasa lord is incapable of mending his blemish and in such conditions proportionately auspiciousor mixed resultsare obtained. Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart the combination of Venus and Saturn is greatly auspicious.If Mercury (a Trikona lord) is unrelated to Saturn even then in Saturn's Dasa and Mercury's Bhukti results will be auspicious with a little Maraka effects becauseMercury is also a feebleMaraka. But in Venus's Dasa and Mercury's Bhukti results will be proportionate or mixed becauseVenus is blemishedbeing the 6thlord. Mercury cannot mend or eradicatethe blemishof Venusbecausehe is not related to Venus. Mercury will also cause feeble Maraka results like illness,debt, teasingfrom enemy etc. Example-In a Taurus Lagna chart, the relation of Mercury and Saturn producesa powerful Rajayoga.Then, if Saturn does not make any relation with the Sun and Mars even then in Saturn's Dasa the Bhuktis of the Sun and Mars will not be inauspiciousbecausethe Sun and Mars being Kendra lords are neutrals.However the combination of the Sun and Saturn will be productive of very auspiciousresults.Then if the 2"dand 5'h lord Mercury is related with the Sun, he will be productive of auspiciousnessin his Bhukti in the Dasaof the Sun. Similarly if Saturn and Mars are r.elatedthen Mercury Bhukti will be auspiciousinSaturn's Dasabut in Mars'sDasaMercury's Bhukti will not be as auspiciousbut will give mixed results also with some Maraka effects.

Example- In a ThurusLagnachart, if Mercury is related with the Sun instead of Saturn. Then in the Sun's Dasa Mercury's Bhukti will be more auspiciousthan Saturn'sDasaand Mercury's Bhukti becauseMercury is relatedwith the Sun to causeYoga.

The Sun's Dasa and Bhukti proved auspiciousfor business. The Sun's Dasa and Moon's Bhukti was tense due to women folk at home. The Sun s Dasa and Mars's Bhukti made him to expand and renovate his business and thus increased his eainings. Mars is a Trikona lord aspecting the Yoga therefore productive of auspiciousness. Results in the Bhukti of related inauspicious planet-

Notes-Pt. Sita Ram Jhainterprets the Slokalike this-The inauspicious or evil planets being related with Yoga producing


77

planets give Yoga results in their own Dasa and Bhukti and Pratyantaraof Yogakarakaplanets. For him clue lies in the following verse-

qq**) qfr qrt(-+ seisfr faermq*':t ir{T( qrqisfr qq*} qfr qttrqdeq:tt Even bad persons in the company of noble persons mend their ways to help the latter. Similarly a malefic planet gives the results of the Yoga, if in any relationship with the Yogakaraka planets. In Sloka 18 was said that greatly auspiciousresults occur in the Dasaand Bhukti of Yogakarakaplanetsand even the Bhukti of unrelated auspiciousplanet is productive of auspiciousresults. Here auspicious planets are productive of good results erien without relationship with the Yogakarakas.Now the question arises,caninauspiciousplanetsbe productiveof auspiciousness, if they are relatedto Yogakarakaplanets?The answer is that an inauspiciousplanet is productiveof auspiciousresultsaccording to his strength in his Bhukti, if he is related to Yogakarakaplanets. In other words a Trishadayalord who is neither a Kendra nor a Tiikona lord and is related to Yogakaraka planets; in his Dasa and Bhukti of the related Yogakarakaplanetswill produce mixed results accordingto the power of his inauspiciousness'Almost all the commentatorshave interpreted that inauspiciousplanet will give auspiciousresults.If this would havebeenthe intention of the author of the text then he would have not contradictedit in Slokas37 and 38 : crcr qR (flFilefi: u{rri nq:{Igq|-{l $ffi4: qvsTrqr€l-tr5;5..{$!mqt 1137,' q-qFa fqqm,r

78

Now, it is evident from theseSlokas that if the Dasa lord is inauspicious,the auspiciousplanet related to him gives mixed results in his Bhukti. Here if inauspicious planet is totally inauspicious asJupiter for Libra Lagna and Mercury for Scorpio Lagna then the results will depend upon his strength and the strength of related auspicious planet. The word tfif( has been used only for the Bhukti of inauspicious planet not for the Dasa of Yogakarakaplanet otherwise it will contradict Slokas 37-38. Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart, if the Sun and Saturn are related to produce greatly auspiciousresults and if the Moon is related to the Sun not to Satum then in the Sun'sDasa,the Moon's Bhukti and in the Moon's Dasa,Sun'sBhukti will be productive of mixed results.If the Moon is relatedto both the Sun and Saturn. Then Moon's Dasa and Saturn's Bhukti will be more auspicious than Sun's Bhukti. To generalise,we can say that Trishadaya lords if related to Yogakarakas are productive of mixed results in the Dasa of Yogakarakasand their own Bhuktis and vice versa. Tiishadaya lords if unrelated to Yogakaraka planets are productive of extremelyinauspiciousresultsin the Dasa of Yogakarakasand their own Bhuktis and vice-versa. Example-In the charthereSaturnis Yogakarakaand Jupiter is unrelated inauspicious (Papa)Trishadaya lord. In Jupiter's Dasa and Saturn's Bhukti the native faced very inauspicious

If the sameplanet owns a quadrant or Kendra and a Trikona, he becomesa Yogakaraka.If this Yogakarakais relatedto another Tiikona lord, what better Yoga can be than this Yoga? Notes-The Yoga produced in this Sloka is of a very high order and clue of the idea containedin this Slokais given below:

emperorsof olden times. In Kaliyuga, king Yudhishthira too was born in such a combinationof planets. Ordinarily, Rajayogasconfer much wealth, status and happinessto the native though they may not make him a king. The planet's strength is the key to the quality of Rajayoga.A planet in debilitatioru combustionetc.is dispossessedof strength, therefore incapable of confering auspiciousness. Upto now we talked of the Kendra and Trikona lords but the question ariseswhat will be the results,if a Kendra or Trikona lord at the same time happensto be a Trishadayaor 8thhouse lord as for a Gemini Lagna chart Mercury conjunct Venus be related to Saturn who is also the 8tr'house lord; for a Cancer Lagna chart Jupiter being the 9thlord is also the 6thlord; for a Capricorn Lagna chart the 9thlord Mercury also happens to be the 6tr'houselord and for an Aquarius Lagna chart Mercury being the 5thhouse lord also owns the 8thhouse. A Yogakarakais a joint lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona, if he happens to be related to a blemished Tiikona lord, then the blemish does not influence the combination any way becauseauspiciousnessof the Yogakarakaplanet is so great that it eradicatesthe blemish. If a Rajayogakarakaplanet (the samelord of a Kendra and a Trikona) is related to anotherKendra lord is not as powerful as when related to a Trikona lord. In a Taurus Lagna chart if Saturn (the 9thand 10'hlord) is related to Mercury (the 5s and 2ndlord), it is the best Yoga for TaurusLagna. In a CancerLagna chart,if Mars (the 5h and L0thlord) is related to the Moon or Jupiter the 6thand 9ft lord will be the best Yoga for CancerLagna but Mars+Moon Yoga will have an edge over the others becausethe Moon is unblernishedat all. Similarly in ThurusLagnachart Mercur/+$nfp6 Yogawill havean edgeover Saturn+SunYogabut in Mercury+Saturncombination,Mercury is also a Maraka :

If Rahu or Ketu occupy a Kendra or a Trikona and by occupying a Kendra be related to Trikona lord or by occupying a Trikona be related to a Kendra lord then they become Yogakarakas. i Notes-A planet gives results by blending his own 'signfications with the significationsof the house he occupies.

When Rahu is in the Lagna, the person will be bereft of compassion,virtues and will be afflicted by diseases.Ketu in the Lagna makesthe perqona miser.When aspectedby a benefic, the personenjoyslike a king. Again,

When Rahu is in the Sthhouse,the person is a coward. He is compassionatebut will be poor. If Ketu is in the 5thhouse,one is wicked and will always be troubled by diseases. But theseare generalresultsassociatedwith natal astrology. Here we are concernedwith the results in Dasasand Bhuktis due to ownership of houses. Rahu and Ketu Jb shadowy planetsand clo not have orbs. They are simply the intersectionsof the paths of earth and the Moon. Thus, they are magnetic points always sticking to the qualities of the housesand planetsthey are conjunctwith or the planets they are related with.

Rahu and Ketu being shadowy planetswill act accordingto the house they occupy.If lord of the house is strong, they are strong and if weak, they areweak. Similarly if their dispositor is a Yogakaraka,they will function as Yogakarakas.Likewise they also accluirethe auspiciousand inauspiciouscharacteristicsof the planet conjunct to them' Conclusively we can say(a) If Rahu and Ketu are alone(0 In a Kendra they will be neutralwhile in a Trikona they will be auspicious. (ii) In the 7thor 2ndhousethey will function as Marakas. (iii) In the lrd, (,thor 1Lthhouse they will be inauspicious' (i") In the 12thhouse they will be neutral.

About Rahu and Ketu, earlier there was a Sloka:

qs-{sTrq'derfr qer{ rnaq[sgn\r y-i-d YffidT'affirr a+e+;-qrfr


84

In this context notes were given. It was also told how Rahu anclKetu behavewhen associatedwith other houselords. In the Sloka here the word TIrtr*I or relation has been used, not the or association.According to this text, relations are word "Td of four types but here only place or house relation has been considered.The reasonperhapsis that Rahu-Ketu do not own any sign, therefore they can not form any relation except house occupation. Thus, the Slokasimply means,if Rahu and Ketu in a Kendra are associatedwith a Trikonalord or in a Trikonaare associated with a Trikonalord in a Trikona with a Kendralord or areassociated Yogakarakas. They are neutral in a Kendra even then only they are if with its lord. This hasbeenelaboratedat lengthearlier. If Rahu in a Kendra is aspectedby a Trikona lord even then it is be a mild Yogakarakaunlessit does not occupy the sign of the aspectingplanet.This is possiblefor TaurusLagnaif Rahu is in Aquarius in the 10'hhouseand is aspectedby Saturn from the Lagna,the4thor8d'house,thenit is aspectedby th lord Saturnalso. In this text the aspectualrelationis only possiblewhen the planet is aspectedby his dispositor.Thus,Rahu-Ketuaredevoidof mutual aspectualrelationaccordingto thetextasthey do not own any sign and alsodo not havea physicalbody and luminousityas well.

But the associationof saturn as the 8th lord reduces the auspiciousnessconsiderablywhich would have nullified only, if tfre 9thlord Jupiter would have joined the combination accordingto previous Sloka. Extinction of RaiaYoga-

Notes-Earlier it was stated that the combination of the th and 1,0,hlords produces auspiciousnessprovided the dther inauspiciouslords do not afflict the combination.Inauspicious lords are the lords of the 3'd,6th,1Lth,8th,2ndand l'2thhouses.The 8,hlord is supremely inauspiciousand deadly evil, then come the lords of the 11th-6thand 3'dhousesin the reducing order of evil. The lords of the 2ndand 12'hhouses cause evil only in associationwith other evil or inauspicioushouse lords. The 8th lord and then the Llthlord are the most inauspiciousor evil. The 3"thouselord is leastinauspicious. According to Maharishi Parasara,if a Kendra or Trikona lord also owns tha Sthor Llth house,he cannot produce Yoga by any meallsas is said : q: q-Cfqd qqqril+fr1 d qdfd( trCffisfr dd: tsersr( qfs ql {rqgqs gf;r:ll If a righteous personfollows unrighteouspath and another one who does not spend for righteous cause,when the two are united, how can they be auspicious for righteousnessand expansionof kingly comforts ?

A Tiikona lord can never be lord but a Kendra lord can be the 1l.thand 8thhouse the 11tr'house lord. Therefore,he suggeststhat in a wider sensewe should interpret it as,if the Kendra and Trikona lords happen to be the 8thand 11thlords, the Rajayogais vanquished and one cannot enjoy the greatly auspiciousresults.Sri Sastri'sviewb though have somedepth, still we forward our discussionfurther.

The 8h house from the birth Lagna is called the house of longevity. The 8h from the 8'hhouseis also likewise i.e., the 3'd house is also a house of longevity. The L2thhousescounted from these two housesare called Maraka (death-inflicting)houses. Thus the 7thand 2"'thousesin a horoscopeare Maraka (death inflicting) houses. Notes-There is no doubt that the 8'hhouse is the house of longevity. The evil nature of the 8thlord has been discussed earlier.The 9thhouseis the most auspicioushouse;thereforethe L2tr'housefrom it indicatesits drainagewhich is the 8'hhouse, the deadly evil house. The loss of life is the suPremeloss i.e., death. Death is the supremetruth in this universe.One who takes birth l'rasto die one day. Therefore,the most inauspiciousin this universe is death, which falls under the domain of the 8thhouse of the horoscope.Out of all the housesin a horoscopeone is the prime houseand there are alsosecondaryhousesof it according to "BhavatBhavam" principle.


89

The secondary house is as much housesahead of the prime houseas the prime houseis from the Lagna.The Sthis the house of intelligencethereforethe 5s from the 5s i.e.,the 9'hhousefrom the Lagna also signifiesintelligencei.e.,the 9*his the secondary houseof intelligence.What is judged from the 5thhousecan also be judged from the 9thhouse secondarily.Similarly, the 8thfrom the 8thhouse i.e., the 3'dhousefrom the Lagna is the secondary houseof longevity. The drainage housesfor the 8thand 3'dhousesare the 7thand 2ndhousesrespectively,which are the Maraka houses.As the houses6f longevity are prime and secondary,so are the Maraka houses.Thus, the 7thhouseis the prime Maraka house and the 2"dhouse is the secondaryMaraka house. Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' counts the 7ft house as strong Maraka house.He argues:

Both the {-agna lord and 8'hlord's pair is judged. Thus three tablesfor the lagna lord and 8ft lord; the Lagna and Hora Lagna;the Moon and Lagna should be prepared and judged as above. Some scholarstake Saturn and Mooninstead of the Moonand Lagna.The tabie givenabove is a specimen. The span of longevity arrived at by the two or three pairs should be adopted. If all the three pairs show differently then the life span should be fixed finally by the Lagna and Hora Lagna. If the Lagna lord is friendly to the Sun then long life may be anticipated, if neutral then medium and if enemy then short life.

rffigdET: qtsalvngegkgt '

VJr{TVJ$IIFA Tunqrfl$rrErd{iTd:ll29ll All the planets do not confer their full auspicious, inauspiciousor Maraka results during their Dasasand in their own Bhuktis in them. But they confer only ordinarily such results in their Dasasand Bhuktis. Notes - In this Sloka a general principle has been propounded that planetsdo not give entireresultsof their house -wnership in their Dasasand own Bhuktis i.e.,wheu the Dasa and Bhukti lord is one and the sameplanet,he does not give his entire results due to ownership during his own Dasa-Bhukti. The word slltrTqltN-{Fqis used in a wider pretext i.e., the Dasa lord's sign occupatioryhouseownership, his aspects,aspectsover him, relationship with other house lords, his own natural characteristics,debilitation, exaltation, Karkatwa etc., all these goocl and evil states of the planet collectively and comprehensively are included in the word. slfeqcrTtm(Fql Therefore a planet doesnot give his entire sTfiCqHf{5qresults in his own Dasa-Bhukti however a few results can still be experienced.

104


The aboveSloka tells us the peculiarity of Dasalord's own Bhukti. Every planetary Dasa starts with its own Bhukti or Antardasa.Thus, the Sun's Dasacommenceswith his own Bhukti spreadingover a period of 3 months and 18 days. The substanceis that the whole of the auspicious or inauspiciousresults of a planet cannot be expectedin his own Bhukti when his Dasahascommenced.Supposein a chartjupiter owns the 9thhouse. It should not be proclaimed immediately that the most fortunate period would be ]upiter's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa.But as Sri VinayakaSastri says-a-dser E ffite i.e., resultsin own Bhukti will only be to some extent.When a planet gives his entire results will be told in the slokas to follow. eilHsqFq+ i q i er flqqEfrur; 1

The planets produce results characteristicto them in the Bhuktis or Antardasasof planetsrelated to them and similar to them in characteristicsand quality. Notes-Whatever we have studied in the text upto now, we can say that the Yogakarakaplanet gives his greatly auspicious results in his Dasa. The Maraka, evil or inauspiciousplanet inflicts his Maraka evil or inauspiciousresultsin his Dasa.This is logically certain. But the Dasa period is spread over a long period' The auspicious,Yogakaraka,inauspicious,Maraka etc. results then cannot be possibethrough out the long Dasaperiod. This Sloka and Slokai yet to be studied form the delineationmethods for such intricacies. Suppose Mars is a Yogakaraka for cartain Lagna but then Mars cinnot show his greatlyauspiciousresultscontinuouslyin his 7 yearsDasaperiod. we have to fractionalisethis period into Bhuktis of various T|Ufi Su6nutmi and qq-*fr Sambandi planets etc.of the Dasalord Mars asis stressedin this Sloka.The clue for qq-*fi and qqfr Hesin the verse-

planet's results though he may be a Yogakarakaor Maraka. If the planet is a Yogakarakahis resultsdue to this character are not experienced though some ausPiciousnessis there.

If a Trikona lord is unrelated to a Trishadaya loid tlrt'n in Tiikona lord's Dasa,the Trishadayalord's Bhukti will give results according f6 sTTrf[urdl i.e., according to the nature of two lords, the results will be mixed results, more of the stronger planet. If a Trishadaya lord is related to a Tiikona lord or a Tiikona lord is related to the 8,hlord then in the Dasa of TrikOnalord and Bhukti of Trishadaya lord or 8ft lord there will be very few Trikona lord's results and mixed results will be there because the Trishadaya lord is not a Kendra lord. Similar will be the results in the Dasa of Tiishadaya lord and Bhukti of Trikona lord i.e.,initially good results and bad later on or vice-versa. In the Dasa of Yogakaraka and the Bhukti of unrelated Anubhaya-dharmi initially there will be auspicious results first and later mixed or neutral results. In the Dasaof Maraka and theBhukti of unrelated Anubhaya Dharmi, first there will be inauspicious results and later mixed or neutral results. According to this text all the results of Dasas and Bhuktis depend on relationships, characteristicsof planets and Sdquqdt i.e. tne result which is arrived at by the judicious application of principles. Results of Kendra and Trikona lord's Dasa Bhuktis-

Kendra is Vishnu-sthana wh"ile Trikona is Lakshmi-sthana,therefore Yoea of Vishnu and


109

Lakshmi bestowsevery thing auspiciousin this material world. If the Kendra lord and Tiikona lord both are unblemished then it is the Yoga of top order. Here unblemished means the other signs of the two lords do not fall in inauspicious houses. By own-ing inauspicious houses both lose Yoga producing cipacity to a great extent.The word evil is more appropriate for Kendra lord. c[tl-1[.-d An evil Kendra lord in his Dasa and unblemished Trikona lord,s Bhukti bestows auspiciousness.who is an evil Kendra lord? Jupiter, Venus and Mercury if become Kendra and Trishadaya or 8thlords at the same time then they are-termedas evil Kendra lords. This evil is more with these benefics due to KendradhipatyaDosha.If Saturnand Mars are suchevil Kendra lords then their evil is not of the order of benefics because no Kendradhipatya Dosha evil occurs to saturn and Mars. In this sloka the word crq-ff, or evil applies only to Kendra lords' For Trikona lords who becomeTrishadya lords or 8ft lord at the sametime, the word qdq or blemished is more appropriate. An evil Kendra lord and blemished Tiikona lord cannot produce auspiciousnessin their respectiveDasaBhr*ti. This has been discussedearlier under Sloka 15 of this text. Discriminatively we can conclude(t If only malefic Kendra lord getsrelatcd with unblemished Trikona lord, they will be greatly auspicious in their Dasa Bhukti. The word unblemished indicates that the planet should not additionally be lord of inauspicioushouses' (ii) If a malefic planet owning a Kendra is further eviled by owning an inauspicioushouseor a suchbeneficKendralor': is reht6d to an unblemishedTiikona lord then alsothe lebdlt't will be geatlyauspiciousbut lessthan thoseat (i)' (iii) If only a malefic Kendra lord is relatedwith a Trikona lc. d which is blemished by owning an inauspicious house, the results are similar to those at (ii).

If Rajayoga commencesin the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet and in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet, this Bhukti only makes one famous due to authority gained but comforts of authority in real terms accrue in Bhukti of evil planet. Relation between the Dasaand Bhukti lords is essential. Similarly, if in a Yogakarka planet's Dasa,the Bhukti is of a related auspiciousplanet, the Rajayogaresultsare considerably large. In a Yogakarakaplanet's Dasa,in the Bhukti is of an unrelated auspicious planet, the Rajayogaresults areordinary and no Yoga results are experiencedin particular. The reversealso holds good the same way. Notes-There are three categoriesof planets: or Yogakaraka 2. Inauspicious or the 8th,Trishadayaand Maraka lords. or the 2"dand 12'hlords. 3.

In the Moon's Dasaand Mars Bhukti he took up a new Project in hand and accomplished it. Mars is a Tiishadaya lord in own house and aspecting the Dasa lord. His earning were good enough in this period. It will not be unwise to consider the relationships told in "Phala Deepika" as those seem to work fairly.

Saturn s Bhukti was not good and was troublesome for Saturu is debilitated. Mercury's Bhukti was fairly auspicious as Bhukti lord is in the th house but not related to Dasa lord therefore the results were of Mercury's lordship. Ketu's Bhukti was neutral as both display neutral character. In Moon's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti (5'hlord) a Yogakaraka the native brought his elder son in businessand started a new manufacturing unit. The results were predominantly of Venus (a Yogakaraka). In the Sun Bhukti the results were not good as the Sun is a Trishadaya lord and the native was penalisedby govt. agencies for some misappropriations. He had to invest for the needs of the new project undertaken in Venus Bhukti. During the last seven years of the Moon's Dasa, transit of Saturn over the key planets hampered the results considerably as the Moon, the Dasa lord is a neutral planet.

Yogakarakaresultsoccur in the Bhukti of Yogakaraka.This seens to be possibleonly when the Bhukti lord is extremely powerful by sign, house etc. that he is able to produce his results predominantly. The transit of benefics over the Maraka Dasa lord canalsoinduce such situationswhen theYogakarakaBhukti lord finds occasion to do his work as the Dasa lord has been handcuffed of his evil by benefic transit. A prisoner finds his occasion to escapeonly when the guards are not alert or busy some other way. Suchresults are also possiblewhen the Dasalord and Bhukti lord are Atma-sambandhi as told earlier. ln Dasa-Bhuktiresults,Dasalord is the presidingofficer and Bhukti lords are his subordinates,who are seldomindependent to bestow their own results.

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related Yogakarakaplanet is productive of mixed results' In the Dasa of inauspiciousplanet, the Bhukti of unrelated Yogakaraka planet is productive of extremely inauspicious results. Notes-who are the inauspiciousplanets?The lords of the 8,h,L1,h,6.hand 3'dhousesare inauspiciousplanetsin the reducing order. Then are lesserinauspicious planets,Jupiter, Venus, beneficassociatedMercury and the strong Moon as Kendra lords againin the reducing order.Thus the 8'hhouselord is the greatest inauspicious or evil planet while the Moon is the least inauspiciousPlanet. If the Dasalord is an inauspiciousplanet then in his Dasa(i) The Bhukti of unrelatedauspiciousplanet is inauspicious or evil. (ii) The Bhukti of related auspiciousplanet is productive of mixed results becausethe Dasa lord and Bhukti lords are In other words the relation will of contrary characteristics. tone down the maleficenceof the Dasalord and the Bhukti lord will be able to bestow some of his results. other strengths of the two lords like exaltation,Varga strength are instrumental here in clecidingthe results i.e., if the Dasa lord is stronger of the two planets then inauspicious results will dominate and if the Bhukti lord is stronger, he will show his resultsa little more,resultantlythe mixed results. (iii) The Bhukti of unrelatedYogakarakaplanet is productive of highly inauspiciousresultsbecauseYogakarakawill not be able to influence and mould the Dasa lord' In this context Sri Vinayaka Sastri "Belala" saysthat the Dasa lord is like a sovereignking and the Bhukti lord is his subordinate courtier, who has to follow king's orders.If the king is cruel or evil, the subordinate courtier though of humble disposition, obeysthe king's cruel orders for the fear of insult and humiliation due to disobedience.If the subordinateis extremelyhumble and noble (like a Yogakaraka planet) then he is so much duty

rrii 122


consciousthat without the least application of his mind he will follow king's orders in toto. This conditiin ariseswhen the two planets are unrelated or there is corirmunication gap between the king and subordinate. If the communication is there i.e., the king gives an ear to the advice of subordinate or the subordinate is in a position to ammend the orders, then he will be able to implement it with some favour for the masses.This condition ariseswhen the Dasa lord and the Bhukti lord are related. (i") The Bhukti of related Yogakaraka planet is productive of mixed results which are somewhat more auspicious and less inauspicious. (") The Bhukti of neutral planets (the 2'd and 12s house lords) is productive of somewhatinauspiciousor evil results in consonancewith the characteristicsof the Dasa lord but lessthan as statedin (i), as the Bhukti lord eitherrelated or unrelated tries to maintain his neutral character' ("i) The Bhukti of an inauspicousplanet is definitely productive of greatly inauspicious results rather more if the two are relited tiran when they are unrelated. The 5h, 8s or L2s position of the Dasa and Bhukti lords to each other aggravatesthe resultsin this case. In thesetwo Slokasthe resultsof various Bhuktis in the Dasa of inauspiciousplanet is being discussed.In view of the above discussionwe can deducein generaltermsIf the Dasalord and the Bhukti lord arerelatedand Dasalord is auspiciousthen the auspiciousresults are promoted or demoted proportionately and characteristicallyto the Bhukti lord' If the Dasalord is inauspiciousand related to the Bhukti lord then inauspicious results increaseor decreaseaccording to the characterof the Bhukti lord. Purely inauspicious planets are the 8h house lord (if not in the 8th),'Trishadayalords and Marakas associated with inauspiciousplanets.

123


Lesserinauspicious planets are of two types (i) the stronger are the Kendra lords having their other sign identical with inauspicious houses and (ii) Trikona lords having their other sign identical with inauspicious houses. Auspicious planets are those that do not have their other sign identical with Trishadaya or 8ft houses. Here it should be clearthat in the Dasaof purely inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is productive of inauspicious results. If the Dasa lord is blemished auspicious planet then in the Bhukti of related auspiciousplanet, the results are auspicious. These two Slokas are strictly for inauspicious planets ivho cannot be Karaka or Yoga producing unCer any circumstances.

This also resoundsthat Maraka Dasalord in the Bhukti of a related inauspicious planet is a doubtful killer. There are two Marakas,one is a Kendra, 7thhouse lord while the other is the 2ndhouselord. r No 7tr' lord can be a Trikona lord therefore he cannot be auspiciousand without being related to a Trikona he cannot be Yoga producing.

If Venus and Saturn are in their exaltation, own, Vargottama etc., thus strong Yogakarakas,then in one's Dasa and other's Bhukti even a king or a wealthy man becomesa begger and poor. If one of them is strong and other weak then the results are good. i

If both the planets are weak and are placed in 6th,8thor 12th house to each other or are with the 6th,8thor L2thhouse lords then they bestow all comforts, auspiciousnessand luxuries. If one of them owns auspicioushousesand the other inauspicious then alsoboth produce good results.If both the planetsown evil housesthen also they are productive of good in eachother's DasaBhukti. The rule told in this Slokaof this text is true in principle and whatever is said in "Uttara Kalamrita" *uy seem to be vague. But what has been said in "Ijttara Kalamrita" has stood to the test of time and has proved efficacious in many of the charts in practical. This Sloka seemsto be applicable only when Saturn and Venus are not related i.e., when Saturn and Venus are unrelated then they give their resultsin eachother's Dasa-Bhukti.

Sri Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala'holds that the relationship between the Kendra and Trikona lords has been talked of many times earlier in the text then what was the need to say the same thing again in the concluding Sloka of the text. According to Sri Betala Sastri the text actually suggestshere four specificRajayogat as under: (i) The Lagna and 10ft lords be in the 10h house. tt tt tt tt t, tt ,t (ii) tt Lagna.

Therefore Sri Sastri forwards his interpretation as above. Actually there is no much contradiction between the two interpretations as the Yoga causing planets are the same.House exchangeis most powerful relation vide Sloka 14.

In Aries Lagna Saturn,Mercury and Venusare inauspicious. Jupiter and the Sun bestow auspiciousresults.The relation of Saturn and Jupiter does not form auspicious combination or Yoga. In this combination Jupiter producesevil rather. Venus does not become Maraka by simply owning Maraka houses though he should be so. Saturn, Mercury and Venus become Marakasin the reducing order. Thus planetsbestow auspicious and inauspiciousresultsfor Aries Lagnanativesand this should be gatheredfrom the learned. Notes- In Aries LagnachartsSaturnowns the 10th and 1Lth houses;Mercury, the 3rd and 6th and Venus, the 2nd and 7th houses.Mars own the Lagna and Saturn, Mercury and Venus are not his friencls. Therefore these are inauspicious for Aries Lagna.The Sun owns the 5th house (a Trikona) and Jupiter, the 9th and 12th houses.The Sun and Jupiter are friendly to Mars. The Sun forms Yoga(auspiciouscombination)if in relation with Satum,asthe 5th and 10thlords in houseexchange.But suchSaturn shouldnot be associatedor aspectedby inauspiciousplanets.Satum

For Aries Lagna, the Sun being a Trikona lord is very auspicious. as the 9th Jupiter,the 9th and L2th houseslord is auspieious house lord. A weak Moon being a Kendra lord is less blemished accordingto Sloka 11.Thereforeshe is termed as auspicious. saturn, a malefic becomesneutral owning the 10th house but again becomesinauspiciousfor owning the 11th house. Thereiorehe is inauspiciousaccordingto Sloka6' Mercury is essentiallyinauspiciousbeing a Trishadayalord accordingto Sloka 6. venus is Maraka being the 2nd and 7th houselord and being la Kenclralord is further blemished.Thereforehe is inauspicious ancl death inflicting accordingto Slokas7-I0.He is particularly so, if relatedwith other inauspiciousplanets' 9th (aTrikona) ]upiter being the lord of 12thhouseis alsothe houselord. He does not produceYoga in relation with saturn. That is why they cannot produce extreme DharmaKarmadhipatyaYoga by mere conjunctionfor two reasons: saturn and Jupiter are neutral to eachother. secondly Jupiter qtqr' {n6q4-d: qtcr(qqf{fri{il owns the 12th house. So the rule


135

operates and Jupiter's results have to be according to the characteristicsof Saturn with whom he is combined. The net conclusion is that extremely auspiciousresults cannot be expected,as Saturn is finally inauspiciousi.e.,Llth houselord. trf Jupiter is in the 10th and Saturn is in the 9th house, mme good can be expected for house exchangebetween the 9th and 10th house lords. The reading in the Sloka 45,*fr : slfl-q E-{r srqK6sdT qlefi: i.e., Venus does not kill even though classified as Maraka is erroneous and contradictory to the rules laid down earlier. Perhapsit is clueto erasingand corruption of the text. Venus is a very strong Maraka if placedin the 7th or 2nd house and/or in relation to inauspicioushouse lords. One thing that is tobe kept in mind is thatin B.P.H.SParasara clearly warns at the end of the chapter.

erqqfr grdtq rq$+t tqF{iiq *r tFc+t'e we era{ vsmfr q dFratn The results are to be told after duly consideringother Yogas like NabhasaYogasetc. present in the horoscope.Theseare to be understood from bigger works like Brihat fatak4 Saravali, fataka Parijata etc. The evil that arises from Saturn-Jupiter combination is due to Jupiter owning the L2th house and Saturn owning the L1th house.So the Rajayogaresultsalmost get spoilt or may be very feebleor may not be even felt at all. Fruitful Yogas:1. Sun + Mars, 2. Sun + Moon, 3. Sun + Venus, here Venus is a Maraka and evil due to Kendradhipatya Dosha. But still the Yoga is functional as only Venus is spoilt while the Sun is purely auspicious. 4. Sun + Saturryonly Saturn is spoilt.

For Taurus Lagna Jupiter owns the 8th and 11th houses. Therefore,he is direly evil according to the rule (qrr+qqrflrdqr*H I {e{g<:tTherefore,accordingto Slokas6 and 9 Jupiter is death inflicting. For Taurus Lagna, Venus owns the Lagna (a Kendra and Tiikona) but as it is 1st of the Trikonas,hencea weak Trikona. Venusalsoowns the 6th house,a Trishadayahouse.The blemish

138


of 6th house lordship, a 2'd Trishadaya is more than the auspiciousnessof the Lagna.Therefore,he is inauspicious.Thus we seethat the blemish is more than the auspiciousness. Hence Venusis declaredinauspiciousor evil and a Maraka, if associated with other Marakasfor ThurusLagna. Saturn is the single owner of the 9th (a Trikona) and 10th (a Kenclra) houses and according to Sloka 7, he alone is Rajayogakarakaplanet. If Saturn gets related with other auspicious planets then he creates a greatly auspicious combination. The Moon owns the 3rd housea Trishadayahouse.Whether she is strong or weak, she is inauspicious in both the cases, particularly when related with other inauspicious or Maraka planets. Mercury owning the 2nd ( a Maraka) and 5th (a Trikona) housesis auspiciousvide Sloka6. Mercury is auspiciouswhile Saturn is Rajayogakaraka. There is differenceof opinion in regard to the Sun, who owns the 4th house.By owning a quadrant, the Sun a malefic leaves his maleficenceand becomesneutral. Leaving maleficenedoes not meanthat theSun becomesauspicious.Mercury is auspicious being the 5th house lord. Sometexts have adoptedErt vrvnqdr The spellingY|Sfrgdis not correctgrammatically. For this reason, {d {rfl-Ed qd nas been acceptedhere.

The combination of Jupiter and Saturn produces the same results as for Aries Lagna.Saturnowns the 8th and 9th houses. Jupiter owns the 7th and L0th houses.As already stated :

The reasonis perhapsthe rule. r r$fldElsq1 Wfinqcmi rr*(t ttre Sun and the Moon do not have the powerful evil nature identical to the ownership of the 8th house.Similarly a lesser evil nature due to ownership of the 2nd houseis not significant with the Moon and the Sun. This seems to be the line of agreement.But as has beentold repeatedly,decisionsregarding longevity span can only be taken after careful calculationof the same,basedon Ayurdaya principles.Otherwise,one might go wrong. Very oftery the rules stated,do have many exceptions, which are not found mentioned. So,one should not boldly assert quoting lines from various classicsindiscriminately.It is stated that Saturn is not capableof killing the native. This is because, he happensto be Bhagyadhipati,the 9th houselord. But in other versions,it is mentionedqrq'{IRt i.e.,the Moon does not kill. Sincerules may be having exceptions,one should be very cautious in applying them. One should consider the matter by different methods, like Gochara, Stellar position etc. and then decide.

Saturn is Maraka as he owns 7th house (a Maraka house) and 8th housean evil house.This way auspiciousand inauspicious resultsshoulclbe understoodfor CancerLagna. For Cancer Lagna, Mars owns the 5th and the 10th houses and becomesYogakarakaaccording to Slokas6 and 7. According to Sloka 12, Mars becomesa Rajayogakaraka. Jupiter owning the 9th houseis auspiciousbut is blemished for owning the 6th house.But finally he is somewhatauspicious as the 9th house is the strongestTiikona. Venusbecomesblemished by owning a Kendra according to Slokas7 and 10. Venus agian becombsinauspiciousby owning the 11th house accordingto Sloka 6. Mercury is inauspiciousfor owning the 3rd house.Again by owning the 12th house, he gives results for the 3rd house. Therefore he is finally inauspicious. Saturn is evil by owning the 8th house and a Maraka by owning the 7th house. Thus Saturn is Maraka and evil. The Sun by owning the 2nd house (aMaraka-sthana)becornes simply neutral. The blemish of Maraka does not occur to the Sun. Moreover he is friendly to the Lagna lord Moon. Fruitful Yogas :1. Moon + Mars, a greatly auspiciouscombination. 2.

To one born in Leo, Mercury and Venus are evil or inauspicious; and Mars alone is purely auspicious. The combination of Mars and Venus alonewill not produce Yoga or auspiciousresults.Mercury and otherinauspiciousplanetswith charateristics of Marakas turn out to be Marakas.

Z\..",4 In Brihat ParasaraHora Sastra, the reading is drqg*rqfql: rTItfT: i.e.,Mercury, Venusand Saturn are evil. Mercury is positively inauspicious due to ownership of the llthhouse, aTlishadaya house.Mercury alsoowns the2nd house

148


a Marakahouse.ThereforeMercury isevil endowed withMaraka characteristics. As 2nd house lord Mercury gives results according to cM Tlr6-;|.d'fl: of the 6th Sloka i.e., Mercury is functional as the LLth house lord. Therefore Mercury will be productive of inauspiciousresults. Venus as the 10th lord turns neutral and again becomes inauspiciousbeing a Trishadayai.e.,3rd house lord. This has been explained under Slokas 10 and 7 earlier. Moreover Venus also observesenemity with the Lagna lord Sun. Mars is a natural malefic but for Leo Lagna, he being the 9th lord (a Trikona) is auspicious and Yoga producing vide Sloka 6. Mars also owns the 4th (a Kendra) house. Therefore he leaves his maleficence and becomesneutral. But having already acquired auspiciousnessas 9th lord, he predominantly is a Yogakaraka Jupiter owns the Sth house.So according to the rule: qd ffi 116l:{s1qq11: Sdt:, /trpiter should be auspicious. But Jupiter owns the 8th house and this is why jupiter is not . mentioned auspiciousin someversions.In B.P.H.S,we have a reading which is parhaps the bestone to be adopted.

dqUordqr: ertn:E$-qr6f:{lqr+at:t :

So Mars,|upiter and the Sunare termed as auspicious.The Sun is lord of the Lagna,so he essentiallyis auspiciousfor Leo Lagna. Jupiter-Venusconjunctioncannotproduce much good results as both are blemished moreover they are natural enemiesof each other. However there can be hope of some good results,if Jupiter is in the 10th housein lhurus and VenusoccupiesSagittariusin the 5th house. Thus both the planets will then function more as the 5th and 1Othhouse lords.

,

Jupiter-Marsrelation forms an auspiciouscombination and bestows greatly auspicious results.Jupiter is the only planet blemished due to the 8th house lordship. To bestow greatest auspiciousresults out of the relationship,Jupiter and Mars either should have an exchangeof houses through the 4th and 5th housesor through the 5th and 9th houses.


149

Similarly, Venus and Mars relationship can be of good, if it occurssuchas Mars occupiesthe 10th housein Thurusand venus occupiesAries as the 9th house. saturn owns the 6th house,so he is inauspicious.saturn also owns the 7th house a Maraka house, so he is also a Maraka though sparedof the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha for being a natural malefic. Moreovel, Saturn is also the enemy of the Lagna lord sun. Thereforesaturn is inauspiciousand Maraka for Leo Lagna. Fruitful Yogas:1. Sun + Mars, bestcombination. 2. Sun + Jupiter, only Jupiter blemished,thereforeauspicious. 3. Mars + Venus,only VenusTiishadayalord, hence godd. 4. Mars alone is Yogakarakabecausehe himself owns a Kendra as well as Trikona. The requirement of the yoga -is i.e., relation between the Kendra and Trikona lord established. 5. Mars + Jupiter, only Jupiter is blemishedas the gth lord. Spoilt Yogas:1. Mars + Saturn, Saturn doubly afflicted and enemy of Mars. 2. Jupiter + Venus,both blemished thereforeyoga is spoilt. 3. fupiter + Saturryboth blemished,thereforeyoga is spoilt.

Venus alone will not kill this seemsto be the intention behind the line q 6fu qfurdr Perhapsthis is becauseVenus is the 9th (Bhagyasthana)house lord and a friend of the Lagna lord Mercury. He can kill the native only when other evil or inauspiciousplanetsinduceand misguidehimto usehis Maraka Powers. Mercury, the Lagna lord is undoubtedly a Rajayogakaraka planet as he owns Lagna, a Kendra as well as Tiikona at the same time.

It is strangethat both the readingsare silent about Venus. Either they think Venus is neutral or he gives results according to associationsas the readings were silent about Saturn under Virgo Lagna.Venus owns the Lagna and the 8th house.Some g+(rtd i.e., Venus is versions declare r1!: vamer*+ ffit neutral. Many celebrateclastrologershave found Venus giving undesirableresults.In Sloka9, it is said that Venusdoesnot give undesirableresults.Pt. RamaYatnaOjha and othersdeclarethat Venusis auspiciousonly, if he is placedin the Lagnaor 8th house and is undesirablein other houses.Our experiencealso is like this. This is perhaps due to the fact that when in Lagna his auspiciousnessas Trikonalord getsboosted,so is alsowhen own sign in the 8th housegiving thurst to both the signs.His ownership

of Lagna as Trikona lord cannot eradicatethe dire blemish of 8th housJ lord when in other houses.Only exception can be his placementin own housesi.e',in the Lagnaor the 8th house' satum, a natural malefic owns the 4th house (a Kendra), thus forgets his malefic nature and becomesneutral, again byowning ttre"sttr (a Trikona) house he becomesauspicious. In- this way Saturn becomesa Rajayogakarakaby owning the 4th and 5th houses. Mercury owns the 9th house (a Trikona). Therefore he is auspicious.Rr rztr, house lord, he gives results according to house,identicalwithhis othersign,whichis the9thhouse.Hence Mercury gives auspicious results. The Moon owns the 10th house and does not get blemished if weak vide Sloka 1L.If she is in house exchangewith the 9th lord Mercury or both of them are conjunct in the 9th or 10th house,they give RajaYogaresults. fupiter,ownsthe3rdand6thhouses,bothareTrishadaya houses.Hence ]upiter is essentiallyinauspicious' The sun, owns the 11th house,a Trishadayahouse.Therefore, the Sun is inausPicious.

Therefore,he is weak Maraka'That is why, Mars is not considerecla killer. However, Mars givesinauspicious results. Fruitful Yogas :1. Venus + Saturn,Saturn is able to mend Venus' 2.

The second line in the meaning is the same as our first line while the first line includes Mars in evil planets than Saturn. Mars is not fully auspiciousfor ScorpioLagna becausethe evil of 6th lord Mars is more than the auspiciousnessof the Lagna (a Trikona) lord. Thus, Mars is somewhat evil or inauspicious for Scorpio Lagna. Some say that Mars is neutral : EsI: Trr{:fvorff{q gF|I qfGFel$ull:l Jupiter is not considered Maraka for owning the 2nd house but is consideredauspiciousfor owning the 5th hosue.Perhaps the reason is that Jupiter is friendly to the Lagna lord Mars.

The Moon is auspicious being the 9th (a Trikona) lord and bestows good results. TheSun asL0th (aKendra)houselord abandonshis maleficence and is productive of Rajayogaresults in relation with the 9th lord Moon. The Moon may be in the L0th houseand the Sun in the 9th houseor both of them may be in the 9th or LOthhouse. Mercury owns the deadly evil 8th house and l.lth, a Trishadaya house, Therefore Mercury is totally evil. Saturn owns the 3rd and 4th houses.He is inauspicious as a Trishadaya lord. Lordship of the 4th house (a Kendra) does not alter his inauspiciousness.


158

Venus as the L2th house lord becomes neutral and gives results accordingto the houseidentical with his other sign Taurus which fall in the 7th house, a Maraka house. Therefore, Venus functions as a Maraka. Venus is a natural benefic and Kendradhipatya Dosha occurs to him. Therefore, Venus is endowed with double blemish. Thus, Venus gives inauspicious and Maraka results for Scorpio Lagna. Fruitful Yogas:1. Moon + Mars, only Mars spoilt. 2. Moon + Saturn,Saturn with a little blemish. 3. Moon + Sury a Rajayoga. 4.

Mars is a natural malefic. He becomesneutral by owning the 4th ( a Kendra) house. Again, Mars additionally owns the L1th (a Trishadaya) house. Thus, Mars finally becomesinauspicious and gives evil results in his Dasafor CapricornLagna. Venusowns the 10thhouse (a Kendra) and thereforebecomes neutral. Again he owns a Trikona i.e. The 5th house. By simultaneously owning a Kendra and Trikona he is termed Rajayogakarakaand givesall round successin his Dasa.He give greatly auspicious results or Rajayogaphala,if he is related to the 9th house lord Mercury. Mercury owns the 9th (a Tiikona) house. Therefore, he is auspiciousvicle Sloka6. But being alsothe 6th (Irishadaya) house lord, he is inauspiciousvide Sloka 6. This blemish of Mercury vanishes away, if Mercury gets related with Venus, another Trikona lord. A great Yoga is created, if Mercury and Venus occupy the L0th and 9th house respectively.This is called Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga. Here, Mercury and Venus exclusivelybehaveand function as 9th and L0th house lords. The Moon owning the 7th house is a Maraka. If the Moon is bright (strong) then as benefic, she additionally acquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and her Maraka characteristicsget a boost. If the Moon is deficient in rays (weak) then she is simply a Maraka for his malefic nature. The Sun owns the 8th house. Therefore, he is essentially inauspicious. Fruitful Yogas :1.

Venus owrls the 4th (Kendra) house, hence neutral. Venus also own the 9th (Trikona)houseand becomesauspicious.Thus, Venus becomessinglelord of a Kendra and a Trikona. Hencehe is declaredRajayogakaraka. If Venusoccupiesthe L0th house and Mars is posited in the 9th house,a great Rajayogais produced for then the two planets function as the 9th and 10th house lords in house exchange.

Mars owns the 2nd and 9th (Trikona) house. As 2nd house lord Mars gives results accordingto{eTHfd{EUu-+{i.e.,according to his other house lordship. In our reading, it is said that Mars does not kill. It is a general statement.Under certain configurationshe may be inducedto kill in his Dasa-Bhukti.For example, if Mars occupiesthe 2nd or 7th house in association with Mercury and Saturn. The 9th lord Mars, if gets configurated in house exchange with the L0th lord Jupiter, it forms a very powerful Rajayoga. Similarly, if the Moon occupiesthe 10th house and Jupiter in exaltationis situated in the 5th housethen also it is a powerful Rajayoga. Saturnand Mercury aredeclaredto be evil and inauspicious and henceare to be selectedas Marakas.Saturn owns the L1th and 12th house, thereforehe is inaus;ricious.According to the rule der-ctt-flq qrqlil qyry fretc 6--cfd( f{6f,r grqt=dfr: etc., Saturn's death inflicting power is clear. As for Mercury, he rules the 4th and 7th, both Kendra houses. Becauseof the ownership of Kendra houses he acquires KendradhipatyaDosha and being also the 7th lord, he becomes a powerful Maraka. The Moon only becomesthe 5th (Tiikona) lord therefore he is undoubtedlyauspicious. The Sun is inauspicious for he owns the 6th house, a Trishadayahouse. Venus owns the 3rd house, wirich is a Trishadayahouse. Venus also owns the 8th house and thus becomesdeadlv evil and inauspiciousfinally. Fruitful Yogas:1. Jupiter+ Moon. 2. Mars + Jupiter. 3.

Thus the wise man shoulcl understand the good and bad results in respectof the twelve houses.The resultsin respectof the twelve housesfrom the Lagna onwards should be carefully combinedtogether. In this way a wise man should understandthe resultsof the planets in a horoscopein every possibleway. The combination of the lords of Trikona and Kendra houses are capable of producingall typesof auspiciousresults. Notes-The horoscopegives details about every aspect of one's life. For resultsof one'sbrother,consiclerthe 3rd house as Lagna. The 9th therefrom will be the Bhagyasthanafor the brother. The 7th therefrom would denote his wife.

Some are born under beneficcombination of planets.And they remain fools without experiencing any results of those combinations like the ponies of Kashmir carrying bundles of saffron. The reason is, what can the benefic combinations produce, if their periods do not operate? Notes-The ponies of Kashmir carry heavy loads of saffron on their back.They experienceonly the weight of the bundles, of little use is the fragranceof saffronto them. Similarly, if the Dasasof the planets causing the yogas do not operatein one's life time, thoseYogasprove futile.

DASA CALCULATIONS I The Vimsottari Dasa system is based on the Naksatras (asterisms)that are tr,r'entysevenin number and2lc Naksatras cover the elongation of each Rasi (sign). Elongation of each Naksatrais 13o-20'having four charanas(legs)or sectorsof 3o20' each.Twenty sevenNaksatrasmultipled by the elongation 13o-20' give 360' of the NaksatraMandal (Zodiac)or RasiChakra. TheseNaksatrasarecountedfromAswini which falls in the sign Aries (Mesha)from 0oto 13o-20'.The next one Bharani occupies 13'-20' to 26o-40'in Aries. The last 3'-20' in Aries form the 1st leg of Krittika Naksatra.Thus, we see1 + 1 + y4= 21/4Naksatra fall in a sign. As told in the text, total cycle of yearsin Vimsottari or Udu Dasais of 120years.This comprisesof Sun's 6 years,Moon's 1-0 years,Mars's 7 years,Rahu's1,8years,Jupiter's16years,Saturn's L9years,Mercury's \7 years,Ketu's 7 yearsandVenus's20 years respectively in this order. If to a native current Dasa is of the Sun, the next Dasawill be that of the Moon and then of Mars etc. in the aboveorder. How this order was arrived at is yet a mystery but we have brought somefact beforeour readersin this respect in the introcluctory chapter.This can be acceptedas an axiont, which has stood to the test of time. Now how can we decidethe planet whose Dasa is on at the time of birth of a native? Each Naksatra has its ruling planet, who rules for a certain period of time as told earlier.In counting of Dasas(Main periods) of planets,the starting Dasa is always of the ruler of Naksatrain which the Moon is at the time of birth and the succeedingDasasare calculatedin the order told above. Simple mathematicalexerciseswill enableone to calculatethe

The cycle for lordship that starts from Ketu and ends at Mercury, reoccurs three times in a set of 9 Naksatras finally totalling to 27 Naksatras.First cyclestartsat 0oinAries and ends at the 30th degreeof the sign Cancer.The 2nd cycle starts at 0oof Leo and enclsat the 30th dgree of the sign Scorpio.And the 3rd arrd last cycle startsof 0oof Sagittariusand endsat the 30th degree of the sign Pisces. In the table aboveAswini, Magha and Moola are lorded by Ketu, falling in Aries 0o to 13o-20,in Leo 0o to L3o-20' and in Sagittarius0o to L3o-20'. Supposeat the birth of a native, the Moon is at3"-27'in the sign Aries in Aswini Naksatra.In other words we can say that the Moon has traversed 3"-27' in the sign Aries in Aswini Naksatra and is yet to traverse (13'-20'-3'-27') i.e., 9o-53' in Aswini Naksatra. By simple mathematicsof proportions, we can calculatehow much balanceyearsetc.of Ketu's Dasa are left to be experiencedby the native at birth. 13"-20'of the Moon's movement in Aswini = 7 year's of Ketu's Dasa

Converting this into years,months and days,we get,5 years, 3 months and 9 days. This means Ketu will rule the native or Ketu's Dasa will be on to the native till he is 5 years,3 months and 9 days old. After Ketu, Venuswill rule the native for20 years. Venus's Dasa will be on to the native in accordancewith the order of Vimsottari Dasa sequence.The following table shows the balanceof Dasaleft in accordancewith the longitude of the Moon at birth. This table is a ready reckoner for calculationg the Dasa.

From the table of Dasa and Antardasa it is clear that Rahu will rule the native or Rahu'sDasawill be on to the native from the age48 years,3months and 9 days till 66years,3months and 9 days. During this period the native will be positioned in life accordingto the results of Rahu'sDasa.Certainly there will be changesin economic,socialand religious life pattern and physical well being of the native accompanied by changesin mental patterns also.Thesechangesarebrought aboutin consonancewith the behaviourpatternsamongthe Dasaand variousBhukti lords. Out of the nine Bhuktis, the very first Bhukti is of the lord of Dasa.In Rahu Dasa,the first Bhukti will be of Rahu,next will be of Jupiter and so on in the sequentialorder upto Mars Bhukti. The Bhukti is further subdivided into Pratyantaraswhich are alsonine. In a particular Bhukti the first Pratyantarais again of Bhukti lord i.e.,in Rahu'sBhukti, the first Pratyantarawill be of Rahu,the 2nd of Jupiteathe 3rd of Saturnetc.in the sequential order as tolcl above. Thus, we seethat Dasasystemis a big wheel of Dasa lmajor period), and there are 9 small wheels of Bhuktis-(minor^orsub feriods) in it and eachwheel of Bhukti containsfurther 9 small wheels of Pratyantaras(sub-subperiods). In this way w€ can move on to still smaller fractionslike Sookshmaand PranaDasas' Formula for Bhukti isYearsof Dasalord x Dasavears of Bhukti lord.

Similarly, we can make instantly t:bles for Bhuktis in the Dasa'sof other planetsalso. Let us now calculate Dasa balance for a native with the Moon's longitute 6' . 5o.24'. From the table this longitude falls under Chitra Naksatra 5' . 23o.20' to 6"- 6"- 40'which is ruled by Mars, signifying that the Dasais of Mars. For calculating Dasa balance of Mars, deduct the longitude of the Moon from the longitude where Chitra ends. 6..6o. 40-- 6". So.24.=76'. Span of a Nakshatrais 13o-20'= 800'.

The last Bhukti in Mars Dasa is of the Moon of 7 months I iduration.It meansthat29 daysof the Sun'sBhukti was alsothere to be experienced.Therefore the native was born under Mars Dasa and Sun Bhukti. The same rule of proportion can be used to calculate the i lPratyantaraor sub-sub period. Like Bhukti or Antardasa the first Pratyantarais of the Bhukti lord. For example,we want to calculatePratyantaraof Mars in 7 i imonths Bhukti of the Moon in Mars Dasa.The Pratvantaraof Mars is7

months = 12 daysand 6 hrs. 6-of ffi This is becauseMars gets,7 yearsin 120years. In the sameway in Mars Dasa,the Moon Bhukti and Rahu

Other Method-

,

An other method to calculatePratyantarais to convert the Bhukti into days and multiply thesedays by the years allotted to Pratyantaralord in Dasas.Take half of the result. It will be ghatis of Pratyantara. For example,we want to calculatePratyantaraof Rahu in Mars Dasaand Mars Bhukti. Mars Bhukti = 7 x 7 = 4.9 months ='L47 days.
