INTRODUCTION
The present is one more addition to the existing literature pertaining to the great andcelestial science of Astrology. Many ordinary incidents in life which we pass by and notice
not, as well as the phenomena of nature, are easily explained with reference to Astrology.
There have been indications of it in the works which I have previously translated, viz.,
Brihat Jataka, Jatakaparijata, Sripati paddhati and Phaladeepika, works by the giants ofAstrology. As an instance of the influence of the phenomena of nature on human life
reference may be made to the rainbow caused by the refraction of the Sun’s ravs througha watery prism consisting of particles of rain water. The rainbow is produced of a morning
or of an evening, ie when the Sun is at the Lagna or the Astha Lagna. Then, when the Sun
is at the Lagna or the Rising Sign or the Ascendant, the seventh house is encircled bybeautiful circles of the seven variegated colours on a watery plane. Even so, the Rising
Sign is encircled by circles of like nature, when the Sun is posited in the 7th house. The
Lagna represents the native, while the seventh house denotes the partner of the native.
The life of the native will be happy, cordial and jovial of there be a sympathetic, loving andunderstanding support from the partner. The seven colours of the rainbow represent theseven planets who by various combinations produce the seven kinds of energy or sevenmodes of motion that are found common in the universe.
Uttarakalamrita, which is here translated, discloses a treasure house of knowledge on
Astrology so far unrevealed. This work is ascribed to Kalidasa of the court ofVikramasurya-itself a proper name suggesting Vikrama of the solar race. A part of the workis called (Kalidasa krita) and indeed Sri V. Suryanarayana Siddhantigaru, who has
published the original work in Telugu Characters, describes this as an astrological work of
the Maha Kavi Kalidasa, giving a colophon at the end of each chapter in Telugu that thisUttarakalamrita was the work of Sri Kalidasa. It is not possible to say whether any Kalidasa
was the author of this work. In any case, the author of this work, important as it is in thefield of astrology, ought not to be confused and mixed up or identified with the immortal
poet of that name, as even the intrinsic evidence is against it.
The value of the work will be evident from the information available in it with reference tothe (1) three births – past, present and future, - with detailed references concerning
longevity; (2) special kinds of Rajayogas and their Bhangas (3) solar year and its
delineation : effects of the Varshika Dasas of the several plants; (4) importance attached to
Rahu and Ketu (5) (Nimita) or Muhurta for the inauguration post, & c., enterprise or aceremonial – Cfr. Khanda VIII.
A new idea is developed in the commentaries on this work: that of depicting the parts
played by Jupiter and Saturn as co-workers. Varahamihira in his Brihat Jataka has
described the owners of the 12 signs in the following manner:
The first (Pada) mentions the owners of the first eight signs while a separate (Pada) has
been allotted to mention the lords of the remaining four signs. The idea contained here isto show the line of demarcation between the first eight signs and the last four signs. The
first eight signs signify all aspects of the native from birth to death, i.e., material ones. The
last four denote the following qualities, viz., Dharma Tapas Fame Gain and Moksha. In
fact; these four signs represent Dharma, Dharma Arttha Kama and Moksha. Here Arttha
and Kama should not be taken in the material sense. They play their part only so far as
they help the native to attain salvation. Now the last four signs are owned by Jupiter andSaturn and these two are therefore classed as philosophical planets. The eighth sloka inthe same Adhyaya is a further support of the same idea.
Jupiter is a planet who is supposed to represent the Brahmin class, while Saturn, theoutcast or Chandala. A mutual Parivartana – interchange, aspect or conjunction between
these two planets will mean the establishment of a cordial relation between the Brahmin
and the outcast. This is a very necessary qualification for a true philosopher. In thisconnection, it will be apt to quote the following sloka:

Viewing from another aspect, Jupiter is a planet representing happiness while Saturn
represents misery - II-5, 7. Jupiter denotes holy places, while Saturn stands for filth, etc. A
cordial relation between the two will naturally prove the existence of an impartial viewing of
all things in the native.
Again, Jupiter is supposed to be the Amaraguru or the preceptor of the Gods, and so, canbe understood to represent Narayana, that is, Vishnu. In very Saiva temple in India the idolof Saturn - Saniswara is inevitable. Therefore, it will not be mistake if one were to conclude
that Saturn represents Hara. It is a well known statement in Hindu Pholosophy that Hara
the last of the Hindu Trinity, stands for Destruction, while Hari, the middle one, is forProtection. A mutual relationship between the two planets in a nativity will now mean thatthe native has got the capacity to understand that there is no distinction between Hari andHara, which otherwise means that existence in, and exit from, the world are to be treatedwith the same amount of pleasure.
South Indians are only familiar with Kalamrita of about 30 verses, dealing with religious
duties and ritual observed in Hindu-more strictly Brahmin-homes.
About 85 charts belonging to people of various ranks and ages have been introduced so
as to be educative to the reader. Ramrks concerning the various aspects of life have been
freely made in appropriate places.
The second Kanda is published for the first time. Rahu and Mercury are identified with
Urdu and Telugu respectively.
My thanks are due to (1) the authorities of the Government Oriental Mss. Library, Madras,
for enabling me to obtain the manuscript relating to the second Kanda (2) Messrs : C.S.
Venkatarama Sastri, B.Sc., Chamarajapet; B.L. Narasimha Sastri, Astrologer, Bangalore

UTTARAKALAMRITAMKHANDA - 1
Section-1 – Time of Birth, Planets, Bhavas, etc.

Sloka – 1: I bow to the elephant-faced God, the son of the Goddess Bhavani, who isadored at the commencement of any undertaking by Brahma, Vishnu, Hara, Indra and theDevas, and in whose four hands, the weapons (Pasa) and the like, and a sweet cake are
gleaming and who is the principal Deity of king Vikramarka of the Solar race.

Sloka – 2: I bow to the great Goddess, Sri Kali, who has reserved a snug corner in her left
side of the body for the residence of Cupid, who confers on her devotees all the they
desire, who holds in her hands (Sankha), (Chakra), the power of protection and granting
boons, who is mounted on a lion, who is sporting with the Moon crested God, who isshining brilliantly with her three eyes and who takes a keen interest in the welfare andprotection of king Vikrama of the Solar race.

By the reference to King Vikramarka in the above two Slokas, it may be surmised that
Kalidasa, the author of this work was under the patronage of that King.
Sloka – 3: In the first half of this work every thing has already been said in detail regarding
Definitions and the like, and the same may be conveniently perused. I no describe in thislatter half of Kalamrita, for the delectation of the wise, the treatment of horoscopes, about
queries, the true and very minute details of effects about past, present and future, couchedin verses of (Sardulavikriditae) metre, and which is capable of attracting wealth inmultifarious ways.
The reference here by the author relates to the work – generally known in South India as
Kalamritae. That book will have to be called in future as (Purva Kalamrita) to distinguish itfrom the present one. It contains seven Chapters or Bindus and consists of more than 320
Slokas, all in Sardula Vikridita metre.

Sloka – 4: The exact time of birth in terms of Ghatikas, etc., that have elapsed since
Sunrise, and the gnomonic shadow indicated by the instruments and other appliances
should first be ascertained. Then the duration of Day and Night on the day of birth inquestion. From the correct position of the Sun with respect to the First Point of Aries ®, theLagna should be calculated. Next, should be ascertained through the Guru’s blessings theexact positions of the several planets in the zodiac at the time as revealed by the ‘Drink)system of calculations. Then the Bhavas with their Sandhis. All these should bedetermined with a clear intellect by the intelligent Astrologer.

Sloka – 5: Multiply the Ghatikas and Vigha tikas that have elapsed since Sunrise by 4 anddivide the product by 9. The remainder will prepresent the number of the asterism (of birth)
reckoned from the groups of nine beginning with Aswini, Magha or Moola as the case maybe.

Suppose there was a birth at 53 ¾ ghatikas after Sunrise on the night of Friday, the 23rd
July 1875. Then according to the method above enunciated, we have to multiply 53 ¾ by 4
and divide the product by 9; we get a remainder 8 which shows the star at the time to be
Pushya, its Anujanma, Anuradha, or its Trijanma, Uttarabhandra. The natal star of thenative was actually Uttarabhadra.
Or, the ghatikas, etc., that have elapsed since Sunrise at the time of birth should be
converted into Vighatikas and then divided by 225 (Tatva=25 and Aswin=2). Divide theremainder into the following groups of vighatikas as may be found possible: viz., 15-30-4560-75.

According to this method, we have to multiply the 53 ¾ ghatikas by 60 to convert them tovightikas, thus: 53 ¾ x 60 or 215 x 15. This has to be divided by 225. Thus 215 x 15 225 =14 1/3. This falls within the 1st group of 15, which shows hat the sex is male Vide next
Sloka.
Sloka – 6: These five groups represent, in their order, male, female, male, female andmale respectively.

i.e., any remainder from 0 to 15 will indicate the birth of a male; while that exceeding 15
and below 45, a female; any remainder above 45 and below 90 will denote a male; whilethat over 90 will denote a male; while that over 90 and below 150, a female. A remainder
exceeding 150 and less than 225 will signify the native to be of the male sex.
Again, find out the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by Mandi as well as the Moon. The Lagnaof birth will correspond to the sign occupied by Mandi or the Moon, whichever of them isstronger. Or, it may be the 7th, the 5th or the 9th from either of the above two signs.
Should the Navamsa Rasis occupied by these two (viz., Mandi and the Moon) be found topossess greater strength than their corresponding Rasis, the Lagna will correspond to anyof the aforesaid houses reckoned from the stronger of the two Navamsa Rasis.
The method advocated above by the author to deduce the Lagna at birth through theposition of Mandi or the Moon at the time of birth does not appear to agree with the one
given by Mantreswara in his Phaladeepika cf. III-16. Mantreswara says “Note the Rasi
occupied by Mandi at a birth and note also where the lord of that Rasi is posited. The
Lagna at birth will be a position triangular to that of the aforesaid lord or one triangular to
the Navamsa occupied by the owner of the sign representing the Navamsa occupied by(Gulika). When the Moon is strong, the Lagna should be deduced similarly through theMoon alone instead of through Mandi.” Mantreswara’s view appears as correct.

Sloka – 7: The duration of the day in terms of Ghatikas multiplied by 26,22,18,14,10,6 and2 respectively and divided by 30 will indicate (during the day) the time (in ghatikas elapsed
since sunrise) of the exact position of (Mandi, son of Saturn), in the seven week-days
counted from Sunday onwards. The period of Day or Night when divided by 8 will indicate
the length of a part presided over by each of the planets. In day time, the lords of the firstseven parts are the seven planets reckoned from the lord of the week day chosen in theorder – Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

Sloka – 8: The 8th or last portion is lordless Saturn’s portion in each day is called Gulika.
In the night, the lords of the first seven portions or Muhurtas are the seven planets counted(in the same order as aforesaid) from the lord of the 5th week-day from the day chosen.
Here again, Saturn’s muhurta is Gulika. His exact position corresponds to the Lagna at thevery end of that muhurta. These two sons of Saturn – Mandi and Gulika-are declared bysage Mandavya as two villains, and they cause a lot of injury in the house dwelt or
tenanted by them.

The distinction between Mandi and Gulika should be carefully noted. Their exact positions
on any week-day are not the same. Take for instance a Saturday. Supposing that thelength of the day to be 30 ghatikas, we have Mandi’s position to correspond with the Lagna
at 2 ghatikas after Sunrise, while Gulika’s position will correspond to the Lagna at 3 ¾
ghatikas after Sunrise.
Sloka – 9: If at the birth of a child the Lagna be Kataka, Mesha, Vrischika, Tula or Kumbha,
the lying-in-chamber will be in the eastern portion of the house. If ti be Simha or Makara,
the chamber will be located in the southern portion of the house. If it be Vrishabha, thelying-in-chamber will be in the western portion of the house. If the birth be in Kanya,
Dhanus, Mithuna, or Meena, the lying-in-chamber is in the north of the house. The place ofbirth or a child will usually be that corresponding to the Lagna or its Navamsa whichever ofthem is stronger. Cf. V-20; V-13.

Sloka – 10: When the Moon does not aspect the Lagna, the birth of the child will take placewhen the father is absent in another village, is in his own village, or is on his way home,according as the Sun is in a moveable, immoveable or in a dual sign, and at the same time
be also posited either in the 9th or the 8th house, and not otherwise. If the Moon be in
conjunction with malefic planets, much distress has to be endured by the mother during
the delivery. Cf. V-1, 17.

Sloka – 11: The females attending on the woman in child-bed are as many as there areplanets between the rising sign and the Moon. Those that are without the lying-in-chamber
will be denoted by the number of planets that are away from these two limits. The quantityof oil in the lamp will vary with the portion to be traversed by the Moon in the sign entered
upon, while the wick has to be guessed from the Lagna, i.e., will vary with the portion of
the rising sign still below the horizon. The character of the lamp is to be guessed from thecharacter of the sign occupied by the Sun ; i.e., whether the light is moveable, fixed orboth, is to be declared from the nature of the Rasi in which the Sun is. The Sun, Venus,
Mars, Rahu, Saturn the Moon Mercury and Jupiter are respectively the lords of thequarters – East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, North and Northeast. The
door of the lying-in-chamber is to be guessed by means of the planets occupying theKendra position, or rather by means of those that are possessed of strength; i.e., whenmore than one planet occupy the Kendra position, the door must be guessed by thestrongest of them; when there are no planets in the Kendras, find which of the Kendras istrongest, and the direction foaced by the door is guessed accordingly.
Section-II – Calculation of the several kinds of strength, etc.

Sloka – 1: All the twelve Rasis are ascending, each in its turn from (the nadir towards the
Lagna or) the East. The six houses from the Lagna onwards, viz., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,
and 6th, constitute the right side of the native, while the other six denote his left side.
These latter also denote the right portion of his partner. The Lagna is life or souls of thenative while the (Janma Rasi) or the sign occupied by the Moon denotes his (Deha) or
body. All about these, (soul and body), should be predicted through these two
significations (Lagna and the Moon) and also with special reference to the planets owningthe houses they occupy, the particular Bhavas in which they are in and the (Bhava Karaka)
concerned.
Sloka – 2: The Moon, Jupiter and Mars are the friends of the Sun. the Sun and Mercury
are the friends of the Moon. The friends of Mars are the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter. Venus
and the Sun are the friends of Mercury. The friends of Jupiter are the Sun. the Moon andmars. Mercury and Saturn are the friends of Venus. Saturn’s friends are Venus and
Mercury. The Sun’s enemies are Saturn and Venus. The Moon has no enemies. Mars and
Mercury have each got only one enemy, and they are mercury and the Moon respectively,
Venus and Mercury are the enemies of Jupiter. The enemies of Venus are the Sun and theMoon. The Sun, Moon and Mars are the enemies of Saturn. The rest are neutrals. From a
consideration of the (Tatkalika) friendship (friendliness obtaining for the time being)
between two planets and the (Nisarga) or natural friendship one has to judge whether thetwo planets are exceedingly friendly or exceedingly inimical, etc.
Sloka 2 ½-3 ½: Mars, venus, Mercury, the Mon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Saturn and Jupiter are respectively the lords of the signs from Mesha onwards. Of
the several kinds of divisions of the zodiac, the first is known as (Griha) or (Rasi). A half ofa Rasi is termed (Hora). A third portion of a Rasi is known as (Drekhana) or Decanate.
There are also other kinds of sub-divisions, viz., the (Saptamsa = 1/7th portion of a Rasi),(Navamsa – 1/9th portion of a Rasi) (Dwadasamsa = 1/12th portion of Rasi) and(Trimsamsa = a degree of 1/30th portion of a Rasi).

Sloka 3 ½ - 5: Sumha, Vrishbha, Mesha, Kanya, Dhanus, Tula and Kumbha are theMoolatrikona signs of the planets commencing with the Sun. Mesha, Vrishabha, Makara,
Kanya, Kataka, Meena and Tula are the exaltation signs of the seven planets respectively
from the Sun onwards. When a planet is posited in his exaltation, he gets one full Rupa as
his strength. The strength for a planet placed in his Moolatrikona house is 3/4ths of a
Rupa. For a planet occupying his own house, the strength is ½ a Rupa. In a friend’s house,
it is 1/4th and 3/8ths when in the house of a dear friends. In an inimical house, the strengthis 1/16th. It is 1/32 when in a sign owned by the planet’s inveterate enemy. It is 1/8th of a
Rupa in the house of a neutral.
Cf. III-2, 3.

Sloka -6: When a planet is retrograde in his motion, his strength is similar to that when in
his exaltation. If a planet is conjoined with a retrograde planet, his strength is ½ a Rupa. If

a planet be retrograde in his motion while in his exaltation house, he gets only his(Neechabala), i.e. nothing. If a planet be retrograde while in his debilitation house (of‘Fall’), his strength is similar to that when in his exaltation. A planet in conjunction withanother planet who is in exaltation gets ½ a Rupa. When he is associated with another
who is in his debilitation, he gets nothing, a planet if he be in conjunction with malefics whoare his friends, or with benefics who happen to be his enemies, gets only ½ a Rupa.
All this is new information not contained in (Sripati-paddhati).

Sloka 6 ½ : The highest exaltation points of the planets countinbg from the Sun are the10th, the 3rd, the 28th, the 15th, the 5th, the 27th and the 20th degrees of the several
signs (mentioned in sloka 3 ½ - 5 supra), their points of ‘Fall’ being the corresponding
degrees in the 7th house from their exaltation ones. The strength accruing to a planet
derived by (a consideration of) this position applies only to the Rasi occupied.
Suppose in a nativity, Jupiter is in the 1st Navamsa of Meena, his exaltation Navamsa. He
will not be entitled to get one Rupa, as his strength under ‘Navamsa’ in the(Saptavargajabala) but he will be given only what is due to him as occupying a Navamsa
belonging to the Moon according to the kind of relationship he holds with him in theparticular nativity.
Sloka 6 ½ - 7 ½: In the case of an odd sign, the Horas or halves of a Rasi belong
respectively to the Sun and the Moon, and in an even sign, to the Moon and the Sun. theDrekhanas are owned by the lords of (a) the 1st, 5th and 9th with respect to that Rasi inthe case of a moveable sign, (b) the 9th, 1st and 5th, in the case of a fixed sign and (c) the
5th, 9th and 1st in the case of a dual sign. The owners of the Saptamsas or 1/7th portions
are, in the case of an odd sign, to be counted regularly from the lord thereof, while in thecase of an even sign they are to be reckoned from the lord of the 7th onwards. Next, as
the order of the Navamsas :There are 3 ways declared to find out the lords of the 3 decanates of each sign :I. They are the lords of the 1st, 5th and 9th with respect to that Rasi.
(i) The 1st, 5th and 9th in the case of a moveable sign ;(ii) The 9th, 1st and 5th in the case of a fixed sign ;(iii) The 5th, 9th and 1st in the case of a dual sign.

II. They are the lords of the 1st, 12th and 11th with respect to that sign.
Varahamihira recognizes only the 1st of the above views.
The present author holds the second view.
Yavaneswara says that the 3rd method above cited should be followed only in (Prasna) or
a query.
Slokas 7 ½ - 8 ½: The Navamsas of Mesha, Simha and Dhanus belong to the nine signs
from Mesha onwards, and they continue till the end of Meena. The owners of the
Dwadasamsas or 1/12th portion of any sign are to be reckoned from that assign. The
Trimsamsas or degrees, i.e., 1/30th portions of a sign allotted in an odd sign to Mars,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are respectively 5, 5, 8, 7 and 5. In an even sign,
Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars have 5,7,8,5 and 5 degrees respectively. The
above seven kinds of divisions constitute the Saptavargas. (See chart in the front page).
Slokas 8½ -9½ : Enter against the Rasi column the strength in terms of Rupas alreadyobtained for the Rais, and write out against the other six vargas commencing from Hora amoiety of the strength fixed in the Rasi Varga for the planet owning the Varga in question.
The sum-total of these seven kinds of strength constitute the (Saptavargajabala) of theplanet. This process should be gone through in the case of all the seven planets.
The following will be the Sapthavargajabala Table of the planets for the Horoscope taken
as example in my edition of Sripathi paddhati (pp 29-30) according to the method
prescribed in this book.

Sloka 9½ -10½ : In the case of a planet approaching its exaltation, the (Uchachabala) or
exaltation strength in terms of a Rupa is repsented by a fraction whose numerator is thenumber of degrees intervening between the planet’s depression point and the planet’s

present position and whose denominator is 1800. The defect of this from unity will denotethe planet’s (Uchchabala) when the planet is (Avaroha), i.e., when it has crossed theexaltation point and is proceeding towards its depression. When a planet occupies a
Kendra a Panaphara and an Apoklima house, it strength is 1 Rupa, ½ a Rupa and 1/4th ofa rupa respectively.
Cf. Sripatipaddhati, III-2, 5.

Slokas 10 ½-11½ : The Moon and Venus, when they are in an even sign or in a Navamsa
owned by an even sign, get 1/4th of a Rupa as strength. It is reserve in the case of theother planets : i.e., the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury get the same amount ofstrength (viz., 1/4th of a Rupa) when they are in an odd sign or in a Navamsa owned by an
odd sign. When masculine, hermaphrodite and feminine planets occupy respectively the
initial, middle or the last portion of a Rasi, 1/4th of a Rupa is to be assigned as theirstrength. The total of these 5 kinds of strength constituted the (Stthanabala) or Positional
strength of planets, the first of the Shadbalas or six major divisions of strength.

(Vide Sripatipaddhati, III-4)
Sloka 11½ - 12½: Mercury and Jupiter are strong in the Lagna or East. The Moon and
Venus are powerful in the 4th of North; Saturn in the 7th or West : Mars and the Sun, in the10th or South. The strength of these planets is zero or nil when they respectively occupy
the 7th place from the above. Such directional strength or (Digbala) in the interventing
positions must be calculated by rule-of-three process.
Slokas 12½ - 14: In the bright half of a month, the (Pakshabala) of benefic planets
corresponds to the number of Tithis passed in the Paksha, while that of the malefics, to thenumber of Tithis remaining to be passed or gone through. This process is reversed in theother or dark half of the month. The Pakshabala in the case of the Moon will be doubled. If
a birth takes place in the middle portion of the Day, the strength (of the Rupa) accrues to
the Sun ; if it be in the last or third portion of the Day, the strength goes to Saturn. The
Moon gets it if the birth be in the first portion of the night. If the birth be in the middle
portion of the night, the strength goes to Venus. If the birth takes place in the third or lastportion of the night, Mars gets this strength. Mercury has it during the first portion of theDay. Jupiter has this strength at all times. This is called the (Ahoratraja) or(Dinaratritribhagabala). The (Nata) in ghatikas multiplied by 2 and divided by 60 will denotethe (Natabala) in terms of a Rupa. (Cf. Sripatipaddhati III-9-14).

Sloka 14 ½: The same subtracted from unity will be the strength resulting from the(Unnata). The Moon, Mars and Saturn have the (Natabala), while the Sun, Mercury,
Jupiter and Venus have the (Ummatabala). (Cf. Sripatipaddhati III-10).

Slokas 14 ½ - 15 ½: The ghatikas that intervene between mid-day and the Sun at a birth istermed (Nata), while (Unnata) indicates similar interval (in ghatikas) between the Sun andmidnight. These two intervals when divided by 30 express the (Natonnatabala) of planetsin terms of a Rupa, and form a sub-division of (Kalabala). About instruments (such as
Sanku) and the like, they have been described in detail in the previous half of the work.
Cf. Sripatipaddhati I-3, III-10)

Slokas 15 ½ - 16 ½: The lord of the year, the lord of the month, the lord of the week-day
and the lord of the (Hora=hour) have respectively ¼, ½, ¾, and 1 Rupa as strength when abirth has taken palce under their sway. The sum of these four kinds of strength goes toswell the (Kalabala). To find the lord of the Hora at any given time, multiply the ghatikas
elapsed since Sunrise by 2 and divide the product by 5. The quotient will reveal thenumber of Horas that have elapsed. The lord of the first Hora on any week-day will be thelord of the week-day itself; the lords of the 2nd and succeeding Horas have to be reckoned
from that planet in the following order: the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiterand Mars.

Slokas 16 ½ - 17 ½: The Moon and Saturn are strong in their Southern course. Mercury
possesses strength always. The rest become strong in their Northern course. The strength
accruing from this is known as (Ayanabala). The planets taken in regular order from Mars
should be declared to be strong when in their retrograde motion, their (Cheshtabala) being
calculated from the degrees in there respective Sighra Kendras already described (byothers). When two planets are conjoined in such a way that they happen to be in the same
house and their longitudes agree even to the degree and minute, they are said to be in war
and that planet which is North of the other is declared to be the conqueror and gains thestrength of the other in the South who is considered as vanquished.
Slokas 17½ - 18½: Saturn casts a full glance over the 3rd and 10th houses, while the otherplanets view the two houses only with a quarter glance. Jupiter aspects the 5th and 9thhouses with a full eye, while the rest see these houses with half a glance. Mars casts hisfull eye over the 4th and the 8th houses, while the other planets aspect them with 3/4ths

aspects. All planets aspect the 7th with a full eye. Planets do not aspect the 2nd, the 11th,
the 12th and the 6th houses reckoned from the one occupied by them.
Slokas 18½ - 19½: Subtract the aspecting planet from the aspected one. The result will
indicate the extent in signs, degrees, etc., of the range of aspect. The (Drigbala) of the
aspected planet (in terms of Rupas) can be accurately ascertained from these degrees,
etc. by rule-of-three process by the addition to, or subtraction from, as the case may be, ofthe proportionate difference in strength between that fixed for that sign and the strength
allotted for the succeeding sign. The Drigbala thus obtained should be classified under“Malefic” and “Benefic” according as the aspecting planets are malefic and benefic, andwritten in two tables in terms of Rupas. Their algebraic sum will reveal the exact Drigbala
got for each planet. Cf. Sripatipaddhati-II.

SLokas 19½ -20½: The Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturndecrease successively by 1/7th of a Rupa in their natural strength. The (Nisargabala) of
the Sun should be put down as one. The several kinds of strength, viz., those derived from(1) (Stthana-Position) (2) (Dik-Direction) (3) (Kala-Time) (4) (Nisarga-Natural) and (5)(Cheshta-motion) should now be totaled up.
Slokas 20½ - 21½: To this should be superadded the rectified Drigbala of the planet.
Further, if the planet be victorious in planetary war, one more Rupa should be added to its
strength ; but if he be vanquished, one Rupa should be taken away. The sum-total thus
rectified or the several balas above-mentioned will be the planet’s Shadbala in Rupas. If
this strength be found to be less than 5 Rupas. If this strength be found to be less than 5
Rupas, the planet should be declared as weak. It is said to possess normal strength when
it ranges from 5 to 10 Rupas.

Slokas 21½ - 22½: Anything exceeding 10 Rupas will be (Purnabala). And such a planet
will prove auspicious. His Dasa will be an exceedingly favourable one and will confer on
the native concerned all that he cherishes, viz., wealth, happiness, etc., if he has passed
his depression and is proceeding to his exaltation point. In the case of a planet possessing
medium strength and going towards his exaltation, his Dasa period also will be productiveof happiness. But should the planet be on his way to his depression point, the Dasa will
prove unfavourable. In the case of a planet whose strength is below the normal (i.e., lessthan 5 Rupas), his Dasa will only cause misery and unhappiness.
Section-III – Ayurdaya – Length of Life

Sloka 1: The number denoting the asterisms from (Ashwini) that have been passed by aplanet should be divided by 3 and the quotient left out of consideration. The remainder
should be multiplied by 4 and the product will denote the number of Navamsas (fromMesha) already traveled by the planet and correspond to the number of years contributedby the planet in the (Amsayurdaya) system. The months, days, etc., over and above theyears referred to due to the planet’s position in the portion of the next (Pada) should be
calculated from the interval lying between the end of the last (Nakshatra pada) and theposition occupied by the planet in the next one through the measure in days, ghatikas,
etc., taken by the particular planet to pass through its full course. The years thus
contributed by the several planets as well as by the Lagna should be similarly obtained
and totaled up.

Take for instance the case of Venus in the nativity alluded to in the notes under I-5, supra.
He is in the first quarter of the star (Punarvasu). He entered that (Pada) on the 8th of themonth Kataka at 14gh. 8 vigh. And left the same for the 2nd (Pada) on the 10th idem at 57
gh. 40 vigh. He has therefore proceeded in the first (Pada) for 1 day, 45 gh. 22 vigh. The
distance traversed by Venus from the beginning of Aswini is 6 stars plus of the first (pada)in the 7th star. The stars divided by 3 leaves no remainder. Venus therefore contributes
only of a year or 7 month, 22 days, etc. Similarly, in the case of the other planets.
Sloka 2: When malefic planets occupy the 6 bhavas counted backward from the 12th, thewhole, a half, a third, a fourth, a fifth or a sixth respectively of their Ayurdaya is lost. If
benefics should occupy such positions, the loss is half of that incurred in the case of
malefic ones. In the case of a malefic planet occupying the Lagna the whole of the
Ayurdaya contributed by the Lagna is lost. When a planet is in its depression point, theperiod assigned to it is reduced by half. If the planet be posited in an inimical house, heloses a third of his Ayus. When he is eclipsed or defeated in planetary war, his Ayurdaya is
further to be diminished by half. This is the peculiarity in the Amsayurdaya method.
Sloka 3: The number of ghatikas that have elapsed in the Lgna Rasi at birth when
multiplied by 9 and divided by the number denoting the ghatikas, etc., of the rising periodof that Rasi will reveal the number (in terms) of years contributed by the Lagna. From theremainder, the months, days, etc., may be similarly obtained by suitable multiplication anddivision by their appropriate factors. When the Lagna is strong by the presence in it, or the
aspect over it, of its lord or a benefic planet or by its lord being in his exaltation, thenumber of years contributed by the Lagna will be as many years as are signified by theRasis, etc., (counted from Mesha) in the figure denoting the Lagna. This is the viewaccording to some astrologers.
Sloka 4: There are two decanates one on each side of the Lagna Drakhana. Find out the
Saptavargajabalas in terms of Rupas before of the lords of these three decanates (or of
the planets occupying them if be the reading for and take only a fourth. This will represent
the religious merit (in Rupas) of the native. The same subtracted from 4 will signify the evil
(papa) portion. These two results should be carefully noted and their difference if found to
be 4 Rupas of (punya) will enable the person concerned to attain final emancipation.
Sloka 5: Thus should be obtained the figures for the benefic as well as the malefic portionsof the Saptavargajabalas of the lords of the three decanates referred to above. The malefic
portion should be multiplied by 120 and divided by 7. The result will be the number inyears. Out of this take away as many 120 year-periods as are possible. The remainder willbe less than 120 and reveal the (Ayus) of the native in the respective (Janma out of thepast, present and future). This method has been suggested here only by way of discussion
as one simpler than the (Amsayurdaya) method :Sloka 6: (1) Venus, Jupiter and Mercury when they are in Kendra and Kona houses will
make the native long lived. (2) If they occupy the 2nd, 3rd and 11th houses, the person will
have medium life, i.e., 60 years (3) If these planets should be in the 6th, 8th and 12thhouses the native will live below medium life. (4) The rest, i.e., the malefics, if posited in
the 8th, the 12th, a Kendra or a Kona position, will invariably not be productive of good tothe person concerned.
Sloka 7 : When the lord of the Lagna is not aspected by benefics posited in a Kendra or
Kona position, when the owner of the Rasi occupied by the lord of the lagna and the Lagna
itself are not aspected by benefics, the person concerned will be short-lived. He will further
have no issues, no wife, and will be lacking in intelligence. But if it be otherwise, the native
will be long-lived, fortunate, intelligent and ever renowned for his fame.
Sloka 8. If the Lagna (correctly calculated to the degree and minute) or the Rasi occupiedthth

by the Moon, be aspected by the lord of the 8 house; or the lord of the 8 house,reckoned from the Moon or the Lagna, be aspected by Saturn or Mars, and if in both theabove cases there be no aspect by benefits on the lord of the Lagna or on the lord of theRasi occupied by the lord of the Lagna, the native concerned, through ordinarily (expected
to be) similar to markandeya in the matter of longevity, will be entitled to an exceedingly
short span of life.

This sloka as well as the previous one are very important Sloka 7 gives one Alpayuryoga,
The present sloka enunciates more than one yoga – viz.
1.The lord of the Lagna and the lord of the Rasi occupied by the lord of the Lagna shouldhave no benefit aspect. The Lagna or the Chandra Lagna should be aspected by the lordthof the 8 house.
2.The lord of the Lagna and the lord of the Rasi occupied by the lord of the Lagna shouldhave no benefic aspect. The lord of the Lagna should have no benefic aspect. The lord ofth

the 9 house reckoned from the Lagna or the Chandra Lagna should be aspected by
Saturn or Mars.

UTTARAKALAMRITAMSECTION 4 : Planets in the several Bhavas and their effects.
Sloka 1 – Planets of the undermentioned groups, if in any way mutually related, proveauspicious to the native and make him a great personage and highly renowned :Those occupying their exaltation, own house, a friend’s house or a Trikona position;• those that are posited in a Kendra position and have attained Vargottamamsa;• those that are aspected by benefics, that are conjoined with benefics, or are posited
betwixt benefics;• those that occupy their Moolatrikona Rasis;• those that are proceeding towards the centre of a Bhava; and• those that happen to own at Kendra house and a Kona house at the same time.

Sloka 2. The following sets of planets will prove inauspicious and mar the good or Subhayogas mentioned in the last sloka :(i) planets in debilitation.
(ii) planets vanquished in planetary war.
(iii) Planets occupying inimical houses.
(iv) Those that are aspected by, or are in conjunction with, or are placed between malefics:(v) Planet associated with a retrograde planet, an Astangata or eclipsed) planet or Rahu :(vi) Planets posited in a Bhava Sandhi :(vii) Planets that are weak(viii) Planets owing Dusstthanas, viz., 6th, 8th and 12th, when conjoined with a lord of a
Kendra or of a Trikona.
Sloka 3 (a) When the 9th and the 10th houses are occupied by their respective lords (b)when the said lords are placed together in either of these houses, or (c) when theyinterchange places, or (d) if they are so posited that they mutually aspect each other, thesetwo planets bring on Rajayoga to the native. (e) If the said two planets be in conjunction
with any of the lords of the 5th, the 7th the 1st and the 4th, or (f) occupy any of thesehouses, they bring on wealth and happiness to the native concentrated provided the said
two lords (of the 9th and 10th) do not own the 8th or the 11th house as well.

Sloka 4 – Note the following three pairs of planets :(1) the lords of the 9th and 10th houses reckoned from the Lagna;(2) The lords of the 9th and 10th counted from the 9th house from the Lagna;(3) The lords of the 9th and 10th counted from the 10th house from the Lagna.
These three respective pairs of planets are in their order capable of bestowing a high,medium (or ordinary) and small position in life on the native concerned. If any of the threepairs aforesaid (a) are by their position mutually related by any of the three kinds ofrelationships referred to [viz. (i) by being in conjunction or close association (ii)interchange, i.e., each occupying the other’s Rasi and (iii) mutual aspect,] and possess
strength, (b) occupy houses which are mutually in Kendra positions, or (c) be in
conjunction with the planet owing the house occupied by the lord of Lagna, the person
born will be come wealthy and a chief among men.
Sloka 5 (a) The lords of the Rasi and Amsa occupied by a planet and the lord of the
Lagna; (b) the lords of the 10th and 9th houses; (c) the lords of the 5th, 3rd, 4th and 7thhouses; and (d) the lords of the 2nd and 11th houses – these four sets of planets, if they
are so related that being placed in any of the above said houses they
(1) are together in one house(2) occupy each other’s houses(3) have mutual aspect and at the same time occupy
a friendly house, own house or an exaltation Rasi, they respectively bestow on the native(a) prosperity, (b) elephants, horses and the like (c) happiness and children and (d) wealth.
Sloka 6. If the lord of a Bhava should OCCl1Py the 8th house (therefrom), be eclipsed by
the Sun's rays; be in depression, or posited in an inimical house and not asso¬ciated withor aspected by benefics, sages say that the Bhava is then completely destroyed. Should
the Bhava be in conjunction with benefics, even then it will not be effective. Thus should
the Lagna and the other Bhavas be judged.
Sloka 7. If the lord of the Lagna occupy the first, middle or last decanate of the Lagna, theperson born will turn out a judge, a chief among men, or a headman of a village
respectively. If the planet in question be aspected by or conjoined with Venus, Jupiter or
Mercury, or occupy the Varga of a benefic or be in his exaltation, the native concerned will
become an emperor of tile whole earth and respected by other kings.
Sloka 8. If at a birth. (a) the Moon with her digits full and endowed with strength be in her
exaltation, Swak-shetra or a friends house, identical with the 9th, 4th, 10thor 7th and be aspected by or in conjunction with Jupiter or Venus; or (b} if Mars and Saturn
be similarly endowed with strength and benefic aspect and occupy the 2nd and 10thhouses from the Lagna, the person concerned will be omniscient, will be endowed with all
virtues, will be extolled by people and will be a highly munificent and great personage.
Sloka 9, Jupiter when he owns the 3rd and 12th houses in a nativity will be productive ofgood to the person concerned. The same remark applies when he holds the ownership of
the 8th house or when he occupies the 8th house. Venus will do good when in the 6thhouse; Rahu will be favourable when he occupies the 7th, 4th, 9th, 11th and 0th houses.
Ketu will prove auspicious where he is in the 3rd house.

Sloka 10. If the lord of a Bhava be posited in any of the Dusstthanas (6th, 8th, 12th), in his
depression or inimical house, or be eclipsed be devoid of association or aspect ofbenefics, be in conjunction with or aspected by his enemy, occupy his inimical ordebilitation Amsa, be conquered in planetary war with malfics and consequently (haverays. that have become) feeble (or low) in brilliancy, that Bhava should be pronounced as
totally destroyed or useless. The case of all the Bhavas from the Lagna onwards should
thus be viewed.
Sloka 11. Whenever (1) the lord of a Bhava is posited in a Trikona house, a Kendra house,in the 3rd or 11th house, in a friendly, exaltation, own Rasi or Navamsa and is placed
between two strong benefics, while the owners of such Kona, Kendra, 3rd or 11th house
aforesaid are also in their exaltation, or (2) the said lord is associated with or aspected bybenefics, such lord will bring unsurpassed prosperity to that Bhava and that too in a shorttime.
Sloka 12. If a Bhava, its lord, its Karaka planet, these three, be surrounded by malefics
and con¬joined with powerful ma1efics and are weak and have no association or aspect ofbenefics; and if malefics occupy the 9th, 4th, 8th, 5th and 12th houses reckoned from eachof the said three, and the lords of the Navamsas occupied by these malefics be inimicallyplaced, eclipsed or conquered in planetary war in that Bhava, then the destruction of the
Bhava should be declared.
Sloka 13. If a benefic planet occupy his own exaltation, a friendly or Moolatrikona house ora Vargottama Amsa, it will promote the happiness of the person concerned. Even if theplanet be a malefic one, it will prove auspicious under the above conditions. If the planets
owning the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the lord of a Bhava be endowed with strength,that lord will promote the increase of that Bhava. Any powerful benefic occupying friendly
Rasi and Amsa in (any) Bhava confers wealth, etc. on the native.
Sloka 14: The Rasi owned by a planet occupying the 12th, the 8th or the 6th house isinauspicious, while the one containing the lord of such a house or the one aspect d bysuch a lord is lost or fallen. Venus, Mercury and Jupiter in their order, if they are
respectiv1y posited in the above three houses will be productive of happiness. Planets in
the 6th, 12th and 8th if happening (at the same time) to be in their friendly, own orexaltation signs, or be aspected by benefics will prove favourable. If the planets owning thesaid houses be inimically placed, be in depres¬sion, be eclipsed or vanquished in war, theplanets occupying these houses will then prove auspicious.
Sloka 15: A planet that is in infancy, one in advanced age, one that is eclipsed or one thatis vanquish d, though aspecting ) does not aspect at all. Benefic and malefic planets
aspect during the bright and dark portions of a month towards the East and West
respectively. Jupiter is strong in his aspect towards West. Saturn is strong "while in, his
direct motion. Yenus and Saturn through eclipsed will not lose' in strength, Mars is strong
even in his enemy’s camp.
Sloka :16. (a) Benefics when posited in a Kendra, 3rd, 2nd, 11th, 5th, 9th and even in the
6th house will prove auspicious. (b) Malefics will be so when in (Upachaya) places. (c) The
Sun and Saturn, will be 'favourable when in the 9th, and (d) Mercury when in the 8th (e)Saturn, when he is in his exaltation, own house, or in a Rasi owned by Jupiter, will do only
good even if he occupies the Lagna. (f) Venus, though placed in the 12th, 'will proveauspicious except when he is in a Rasi or Amsa owned by Saturn.
Sloka 17: The following, viz., (1) the waning (1) the waning Moon (2) Mercury (3) Venus (4)Full Moon and Jupiter, become auspicious in the proportion of ¼, ½, ¾ and 1
res¬pectively. Jupiter and Venus become fully favourable when in the house of a benefic

and in conjunction with the lord of the same. The following four groups, viz. (1) waning
Moon and Mercury when he is a malefic, (2) the Sun (3) Rahu and Mars and (4) Ketu andSaturn are , productive of evil in the same proportion already stated.
Sloka 18: If the (Phala Karaka) and the (Bhava Karaka) of any Bhava as also the lords of
the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the Lord of the Bhava and the Bhava itself be hostile,
the effect of the Bhava is lost.
Whenever a malefic planet occupies a Rasi functioned by a (Karaka), it will destroy theeffects produced by that karaka planet. The Bhava Karakas owing to their occupation of
Bhavas to which they are Karakas will only produce a very small fraction of the (otherwise
usual) effect.
Sloka 19 The full Moonn, Jupiter, Saturn and -¬are termed Chhadakas for the two houses(2nd and 12th) adjacent to each of them. If Jupiter (owing to his owning a Dusstthana)even should turn out as hostile to the native, he will be a Chhadaka only for the 12th. The
rest are Chhadakas for the 2nd only. The lords of the several Bhavas and their respective
karakas bring luck to the native concerned by a sort of (Sambandha) between themthrough aspect, occupation, conjunction or mutual exchange.
Sloka 20 : A planet in the 2nd house from a Bhava is called the (Chhadaka) for that Bhava,
while that in the 3rd is called (Vedhaka). He who is placed in the 4th is termed (Bandhaka).
The one in the 8th is known as (Pratibandaka). From this planet in the 8th should be
predicted all about the increase and destruction of the Bhava. The lords of the 2nd and 7thhouses with respect to any Bhava are termed Marakas of that Bhava.
Sloka 21 : The aspect cast on a planet by malefics who are friendly is known as(Swadheena Vedha). While the one by malefics who are also inimical is termed(Paradheena Vedha). The effect caused by benefics will be similar and felt at the
beginning while the same arisen through malefics will be a bit untoward and felt at the end.
The native’s general luck and longevity will also be similar to the preponderance instrength of the benefic and malefic planets.
Sloka 22. : If any one of the following three yogas, viz., (a) lord of the 8th occupying the12th or 6th ; (b) lord of the 6th being placed in the 8th or 12th ; (c) lord of the 12th being
posited in the 8th or 6th ; (d) the said three lords being connected in any way, by mutualinterchange of places, mutual aspect or conjunction and are at the same time free fromsuch relation with other planets, the person born will become a great king lording overother kings and blessed with fame and wealth.
Sloka 23. : If malefics be debilitated, and benefics endowed with strength occupy Kendra
and trikona houses, and if the lords of the 10th, 9th and 4th houses be all grouped either inthe 9th or the 10th, the person born will be a king, highly intelligent, wealthy, famous,
endowed with great volour and long-lived. He will be revered by other kings, be virtuously
disposed and almost omniscient.
Sloka 24 : The 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses are known by the terms (Kendra), (Kantaka)and (chatushtaya). The houses next to the Kendras, that is, the 2nd, the 5th, the 8th andthe 11th are known as (Panaphara). Those next to the Panapharas, viz., the 3rd, the 6th,
the 9th and the 12th are called (Apoklima). The 5th and the 9th houses are termed(Trikona). The 3rd, the 6th, the 10th and the 11th are called (Upachaya). The houseoccupied by the Moon is called (Jamna Rasi) while the Lagna is known as (Audi) or 1st
house.
Sloka 25 : The Sun is of the character of God Siva and is the soul and father, while theMoon is of the Goddess (Sakti) and is the mother (of all beings). The remaining 5 planets,
viz., Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn have their origin from the 5 elements(Prithivi) (Ap), (Tejas) (Vayu) and (Akasa); from (Satva) have risen Jupiter, Venus and
Mercury ; mars has come out of (Rajas) or passion, while Saturn is from (Tamas) or
darkness. The Sun and the moon are not death-giving planets, but when they happen to
own the 6th or the 8th house, they become harmful and cause much evil.
Sloka 26 : With the benefic planets occupying the 6th, the 7th and the 8th houses
reckoned from the Moon and with no malefics in these houses, a person born becomes aking or one equal to a king enjoying all kinds of happiness. He will be long – lived,
victorious, widely renowned, learned, command all pleasures, will be blessed with wife,
children, friends, houses, vehicles and other similar luxuries.
Sloka 27 : The numbers 30, 16, 6, 8, 8, 10, 12, and 12 and 1 denote the kalas (measuresof power of brilliance) of the seven planets from the Sun onwards. Add the kalas of thelords of the 9th house reckoned from the Lagna as well as from the Moon. Divide the sum
by 12. The Rasi counted from the Moon indicated by this remainder, if occupied by abenefic singly without the conjunction of any malefic, will make the native a Koteeswara(millionaire) ; if by a malefric only, his wealth will be in thousands. If the said malefic be
exalted, then also the native will be a Koteeswara.
Note: This is also called Dhana Lagna or Indu Lagna like the Par Fortuna of western
astrology.
Sloka 28 : If two or more out of the lords of the 2nd, 5th, 11th and 9th houses are so
posited in a nativity that they become mutually related by any of the three kinds ofSambandhas and are also strong, the person concerned will be a master of 3 lakh. Should
the lords of any of the trhee Dusstthanas happen to be one of the partners in the above,
Sambandha, the result will be the destruction of the whole wealth and the contraction ofdebts and also trouble from enemies. All these will occur during the Dasas of the lords ofthe above-said four houses.
Sloka 29 : If all the planets be placed in the four Kendras from the Lagna onwards and in
the four Panaphara house, all the Apoklima houses being left unoccupied the person born
becomes a king or leader of men. If in the above case benefic planets and the full Moon be
not in conjunction with or aspected by malefics and be also strong, the person born will bea lord and extolled by the good. If otherwise, i.e., the planets are not powerful, the person
concerned will be comparatively lacking in the above-mentioned status.
Sloka 30 : If there be a birth at about 2 ghatikas after mid-night or mid-day, a king who willsubjugate all his enemies and who will always observe the religious rules of conduct and
who is endowed with good learning, will be ushered into the world.
If in the above case an exalted planet be in the 2nd house and be aspected by anothersimilarly exalted, the yoga will usher a Koteeswara-a very rich man. But should the aspectin the last case be by a planet occupying only his own house, the person born will be a
Lakshadhikaree-owner of lakhs and be happy.
Sloka 31: an immoveable rasi is stronger than a moveable one. A dual rasi is muchstronger than an immoveable one. In the case of three planets occupying three houses,
the two aspects cast by two of the planets over the third due to their being placed in a(chhadaka) or (Vedhaka) position (IV-20 Supra) will be increasing in power according as
the aspecting planet in each case is posite din a (chara or moveable), a (Stthira or
immoveable) or a (Dwandwa or dual) sign. The same rule also holds good with regard tothe effects caused by the planets from the three houses. In the case of the threedecanates of which a Rasi is composed, if the said 3 planets are all in (a) the 1st decanateof a (chara).
(a) The middle one of a (Stthira) and(b) The last one in a (Dwandwa)
The effect will be full. It will be medium when theya re all in the middle decanate of a(chara), the last one in a (Stthira) and the 1st in a (Dwandwa). The effect will be very little
when the planets are all in the last decannate in a (chara), the first decanate in a (Stthira)and the middle one in a (Dwandwa) sign.
Sloka 32: Of the two planets that cause a Yoga good or bad – which will be the case only
when they are within 12 of each other, if the one which is slower in motion is in advanceand the other which is faster is behind, the Yoga will come into effect and it will be fullwhen the interval is zero, and nil when the interval is 12. It will be proportionate in theintermediate positions. If the planet that is faster is 12 or more behind the other which isslower, the effect of the yoga will not come to pass.
Sloka 33: If the Moon possessed of strength should cast any applying aspect (as per II18½ - 19½ supra) on one atleast of the two planets causing the Yoga referred to (in theprevious sloka) within the prescribed limits, the effect will be specially marked. This will
not, however, be the case of the aspecting Moon be quartered in any of the Dusstthanas.
Planets cast their aspect on all the houses. The aspect will have the best effect when theplanet aspecting is in his exaltation or own house. It will be medium when the aspecting
planet occupies a very friendly house. In other houses, the effect will only be very
defective.
SLoka 34: Find the Rasi where the lord of a Bhava is posited. The (Pada) of that Bhava
will be so many Rasis distant from that lords ad the lord is from the Rasi signifying the
Bhava. It is with reference to this (Pada) and the good and bad planets posited therein,that the prosperity and decay of the Bhava is to be predicted. Thus, should the 8 Padas bedetermined in the case of 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th 10th and 12th. The (Pada) for the 12thhouse from any Bhava is known as (UpaPada) for that Bhava, and that for the 7th as(DaraPada).
Here the author explains what is meant by (Arudha) or (Pada). The (Arudha) of a Bhava
falls in the Rasi which is so much distant from the rasi occupied by the lord of the Bhava
under consideration, as the lord himself is removed from the said Bhava.
Take an example.

Let us now prepare the (Arudhachakra).
Jupiter, the lord of the Lagna is in Mithuna, i.e., in the 7th Rasi from the Lagna. Hence the(LagnaPada) falls in the 7th Rasi from Mithuna, i.e.c Dhanus. Hence No. 1 is marked
there. Take the 7th Bhava; its lord, Mercury, is in the 1st house from the 7th and therefore
the (Saptama Pada) or the Pada of the 7th Bhava is placed in the 1st house from Mercury,i.e., again in Mithuna. The figure 7 is therefore placed there. Now take the 5th Bhava. Itslord Mars is placed in the 9th house from it, and the 9th house reckoned from Mars is
Simha, and here you see No. 5 entered. Similarly work up for all Bhavas and you will see
the 12 Padas scattered as shown in the Chakra. The author has taken only 8 Padas,belonging to 1st, 2nd, 4th 5th 7th 9th 10th and 12th and has left out the four other 3rd, 6th,
8th and 11th. But (Jaimini) has generalized this to all the 12 Bhavas and this seems to becorrect.

It will be observed from an outwards glance at the (Arudha) Chakra that all the odd Padas
are situated in the odd Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna, while the even ones are in theeven Bhavas. This may appear a mystery at the beginning ; but it will be found out that thisis after all the result arising out of the very definition of (Pada). Mathematically this theory
may be proved that it cannot be otherwise.

For suppose we consider the (Arudha) or (Pada) or any Bhava. Assuming that the lord of

the Bhava under consideration is n rasis away from the Bhava, the (Pada) of the Bhava
falls in the Rasi which is n rasis removed from the said lord. this means the (Pada) falls ina Rasi whish is n + (n-1) or 2n-1 Rasis removed from the Bhava. When n is an integer, 2n1 is always odd. Therefore the (Pada) will fall in an odd or even rasi reckoned from the
Lagna according as the Bhava under consideration is odd or even.
In the usual Chakra, the Bhavas are situated successfively in order, but the Padas arescattered here and there and sometimes two or more are in conjunction. The Bhava Pada
will be situated in the same Bhava, only when the lord of the Bhava is placed either in thesame Bhava or in the 7th from it.
It will further be seen that, in the Arudha Chakra, the Bhavas are distributed andconsequently the effects too might vary. For example in the ordinary diagram, the (Dhana)
Bhava falls in Makara, and Saturn, its lord, is the planet to cause it seffect. But from aglance at the (Pada chakra), it will be seen that the (Dhana Pada) is in Vrishabha ; in otherwords, the house of wealth is shifted from makara to Vrishabha, and its lord Venus will be
the cause for its effect. In the course of Dasa, Bhukti readings based on the generalprinciples of horoscopy, opne will find that effects of certain nature not concerning with theplanet happen actually and he fails to ascribe proper reasoning for the happening of theevent. For example, in the above horoscope, Venus is the lord of the 2nd Pada and the 6th
Pada and is placed in BVrishabha. This gives the result that Venus is capable of giving
wealth with much difficulty as he owns the 6th also. From the general principles ofAstrology, his lordship over (Dhana) Bhava cannot be at a glance said. Again, undergeneral principles, mercury has no connection with the 4th house other than for the mere
association with Jupiter, lord of the 4th, but under (Arudha Chakra), mercury is the lord of
the 4th and it is he who gave the native high education, especially in mathematics. The(Arudh Chakra) will thus explain all such discrepancies.

In the usual diagram, each planet owns at least one Bhava. But under (Arudha Chakra) aplanet may own even more than two and sometimes none at all. It has been definitely
stated that a planet cannot cause the effect of a Bhava unless it owns it or aspects it, etc.
applying the same principle, it may be generalized that the planet will certainly cause theeffect of the Padas that are owned by it, aspected or occupied by it. If a planet does
neither own, nor is situated in any (Pada), it will have no individual power to cause any
effect. It seems that during the period of this planet, nothing will happen in particular.

Sloka 35 : if the LagnaPada) be benefic and occupied by a benefic, the person concerned

will enjoy all comforts. If benefics be posited in the Kendras and Konas with respect to the
LagnaPada, the person will be a king and a very learned one. If malefics should occupy
the LagnaPada, its Kendras and Konas, the effect will be otherwise. The same remark
holds good of malefics occupy the 6th, 8th and 12th places from the LagnaPada. Thus
should the good and bad effect be carefully investigated for all the 8 Padas.
Sloka 36 : Similarly should information regarding issues be predicted with the help of the
5th, 2nd and 9th Padas after a careful scrutiny of the Bhavas, Jupiter and the lord of the
Lagna and the UpaPadas, and the conjunction and aspect of benefics. If there be no
aspect or conjunction of malefics, the native will have a good number of children. The sexof the issues should be determined by the preponderance in strength of the several
planets concerned.

Sloka 37 : If Mercury, Saturn and mars be conjoined with the lords of the three UpaPadas
referred to in the previous Sloka, and if the same three planets mutually occupy eachothers Rasis and Amsas; or if Saturn and Jupiter be together in a single house, there will
be loss of children. The 10th house and its lord, if occupied or aspected by Saturn, willcause the native to have adopted sons. Thus have declared the wise in various ways.
Sloka 38 : All about the first wife should be predicted from the 7th house from the Lagna;
about the 2nd wife from the 8th house there from, and the successive wives found out in asimilar manner. If malefics should occupy these houses, the death of the wife or wives
should be declared and not so, if benefics be placed there. It is through the conjunction or
aspect of Jupiter and other benefics also that the number of wives living, their respective
issues, their character and other qualities should be ascertained.
Sloka 39 : Thus, if benefics occupy the UpaPada of the 7th, the wife may be declared to be
beautiful, long lived and possessing good qualities. If malefics occupy the UpaPada and be
in debilitation, the native concerned will lose two wives. But if the malefic be exalted andconjoined with or aspected by a benefic, the person will have many wives living. If there be
no such benefic aspect or conjunction, the person may not remarry.

In this Sloka, the (SaptamaPada) is being considered as this Sloka is in continuation of theprevious Sloka where the Kalatra Bhava is mentioned. The author describes here theeffects of (KaklatraPada) and its (UpaPada, i.e. the (Pada) of the one previous to(Saptama), i.e. (ShashtaPada). This is in harmony with the general principles of Astrologythat whenever a bhava is considered. The positions of planet situated in the previous

bhava have to be reckoned as such planets have the power of (Achchhadana) as is
declared by the author in. A question may then be raised as to why the previous house inreferred to and not the next one. The reader will find an answer to this when he reads the
Sloka on (Achchhadana), where it is stated that generally planets have a tendency to havean advance (Achchhadana) and not a receding one.
Take the horoscope given above. Here the UpaPada of the 7th Pada, i.e. the 6th, falls in
Vrishabha and Venus is placed there in (Swakshetra). His wife, i.c., his first wife is
beautiful, or good conduct and is blessed with long life. When the (Pada) is considered, all
the general principles of Astrology must be used and the results predicted. But when
(UpaPada) is considered prediction must be based only on the planets conjoined with the
UpaPada. This point is not clearly explained by the author, but a logical reasoning from thegeneral principles and by the wordings, this can be elucidated.
Sloka 40 : All about the first wife should be divined throught eh (DaraPada) and its(UpaPada). Information about the second wife should be sought for through the 8th housefrom these two Padas. Sages say that the number of wives that would be lost should be
declared through the amount of (Papatva), if any, in the Pada over and above that in the(DaraPada). Where the Pada concerned is highly (Subha), there it indicates that theparticular wife will be the promoter of the family, the giver of happiness, one endowed withlong life and affording enjoyment.
Sloka 41 : The number of Navamsas elapsed in the 3rd house counted backwards fromthe Lagna will indicate the number of elder-borns, while the number of navamsas still torise in the 3rd house counted in regular order from the Lagna will denote the number still to
be born the number of males and females among them should be guessed according to
the rules on the subject while the number of those surving or otherwise should be judged
from the strength of the benefic and malefic planets respectively.
Sloka 42: Out of the planets from the Sun onwards, find which has traveled the highest
number of degrees in the rasi occupied. He is designated as (adhikagraha) or seniorplanet in the nativity. If the Sun should conjoin with this Adhikagraha, the person
concerned will be an adviser in the palace. If the full Moon and Venus should be together
with the Adhikagraha, the native concerned will be very rich, learned and enjoy allpleasures, If Mars be such a planet, a worker in metals and a rogue.

Sloka 43: If the planet in question be Mercury, the person will be skilled in sculpture, or adealer in earthen jars and cloths. If it be Jupiter, he will be a sacred Brahmin engaged in
vedic duties, and versed in the Vedas and works auxiliary to the same. If Venus be such aplanet he will be long lived, prone to indulge in sexual pleasures. If it be Saturn, he will
engage himself in all sorts of vocations. If it be Rahu or Ketu, the person will be clever in
preparing medicines from poison, metals and the like.
In these two slokas (42-43), the author describes about (Adhikagraha). He seems to havetaken this idea from Jaimin who calls this planet as (Atmakaraka) and he has attachedmuch importance to the (Amsa) occupied by this Atmakaraka and has very elaborately
dealt with on this subject. Readers may find these in Jaimini sutras. In these two slokas,
the author has described the effects of planet joining the Atmakaraka in Rasi chakra. For
example, the exact planetary positions in Chart 77 given in P. 120 are in order as follows:

Sun Moon Mars Merc Jup. Venus Sat. Rahu Lagna 40-36, 100-56. 250-4 280-26 240-7
110-7 40-34 20-17 90-58 the (Adhikagraha) or (Atmakaraka) is mercury as he is the planetthat has advanced most in the Rasi occupied by him.

Here the planet should be in conjunction with the Atmakaraka and not otherwise. But
Jaimini reads these effects from the conjunction of planets placed with this Atmakaraka in
Navamsa Rasi for this, please see notes under the sloka 45.
SLoka 44: If the 2nd place reckoned from that (Adhikagraha) be aspected or occupied by
the Sun and venus, he will serve in a palace. If a malefic be in the 3rd house from the(Adhikagraha), the person will possess valour. If a benefic be there instead, he will be atimid person. If the Moon be in the 4th house from the (Adhikagraha) and be aspected by
Venus, the person concerned will be a great pilot or sailor. If the 4th house in question be
occupied or aspected by the Moon and venus, the native will be endowed with storeyedbuildings (Mansions) and similar comforts.
In this sloka, effects of plaents situated or aspecting the Bhavas readers should note that
he has described effects applying the same general principles considering the (Jamna
Lagna), (Arudha Lagna) and (Adhikagraha Lagna) or (atmakaraka Lagna) and Jaimini has
gone even further.
Sloka 45: If the Moon and Venus be posited in or aspect the 4th house from the(Adhikagrahapada), the native will be the lord of very big mansions. If the said 4th place be
occupied by a planet in exaltation, ht effects will be similar; but the native will also betroubled by white and black leprosy. Thus should be divined every thing as above from a
consideration of the Rasi, Navamsa and Dwadasamsa occupied by the (Adhikagraha). The
profession and manliness of a person should be divined through the planet that is next
junior to the (Adhikagraha)This is a very important sloka. The author has in brief exhausted all the details elaborated
by Jaimini. He wants us to read similar effect from the Navamsa Rasi occupied by thisAtmakaraka and Dwadasamsa too, but Jaimini has taken only Navamsa. Then hedescribes that the planet next in degrees and minutes has also to be considered and thenative’s profession to be predicted out of that planet: valour and courage from the planet
next to it. In this connection, I may say that this is nothing but an abstract of that Jaimini
has elaborated and discussed in his Jaimini Sutras. He calls the planet foremost in Kalas
degrees in any Rasi a Atmakaraka the next in degree to Atmakaraka as Atmatyakaraka
and the next as Bhratrukaraka; next as Matrukaraka and the next as Putrakaraka, the next
as jhatikaraka and the next as Darakaraka. With this he stops and bases his prediction onthese. This theory of atrtributing Karakatva is like attributing a Lagna to Atmakaraka andthe successive bhavas till 7th to the successive planets. In fact, this is how he has dealthwith the subject. For details, please refer to Jaimini Sutras.

THE

–
DASAS

AND

VI
THEIR

EFFECTS

Sloka 1: The Avastthas or conditions of a planet are of nine kinds, viz., (1) Deepta-blazing
when he is in his exaltation, (2) stimita-gratified or satisfied when he is in his own house (3)Muditahappy when he is in a dear friend’s house (5) Heena deficient when he is quarteredin a neutral’s house (6) Duhkha-dejected when he is in an enemy’s house (7) Vikla-failingwhen he is associated with a malefic (8) Khala-base when he is vanquished in war and (9)Kopa-angry
when
he
is
eclipsed
by
the
Sun’s
rays.
Sloka 2: Since the fruits of past Karma resulting from either good or bad actions are known
through the Dasas and Bhuktis of planets, it is essential that the Dasas of the planets
should be sub-divided and the several effects of such sub-divisions should be known inorder that one may obtain the required happiness by the performance of Shantis toovercome

the

evil.

Sloka 3: The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus are in
their order the lords of the Dasa period of years represented by the numbers 6, 10, 7, 18,
16, 19, 17, 7 and 20 respectively. The particular Dasa that starts in a nativity is thus
obtained : count from Krittika till the natal star inclusive and divide the result by 9. The
remainder will indicate the lord of the Dasa counted from the Sun onwards.
Sloka 4: Find the number of Ghatikas, etc., still to pass of the asterism at birth, divide thesame by the total Ghatikas taken by the Moon to pass through that art. Multiply thisfraction by the appropriate Dasa-years mentioned in the previous Sloka. The quotient willbe the number of years still to pass in that Dasa. The remainder when multiplied by 12 and
30
will
give
the
monthsanddaysrequired.
Sloka 5 – 5 ½: Multiply the Dasa years of a planet by the Dasa years of the other planet
whose Bhukti or sub-period is required. The product will be in 2 or 3 digits. The number
indicated by the first or first two digits as the case may be will be the number of months
contained in the Bhukti, and the last digit multiplied by 3 will be the days to be added, etc.
thus should the period of all the Bhktis in the several Dasas be calculated. Convert the
Bhukti period into days and multiply the same by the number indicating the Dasa years ofa planet. Take a moiety of the product. This will signify the (Vidasa) or (Antara) of theplanet in terms of Ghatikas, etc., and this when divided by 60 will indicate the period indays. Similarly should the (Sukshmadasa), etc., be calculated, but there is this peculiarity,i.e., the numbers each below the other in their order will signify the sub-period in days,
GhatikasandVighatikas.
Thus, Mercury’s Bhukti period in Saturn’s Dasa is obtained by multiplying 17x19. The
product
is
323
which
means
32
monthsand9
days.
Similarly to find out the sub-period of the Moon-Chandrantara- in the above Mercury’s
Bhukti,weproceedthus:
Convert the 32 months and 9 days (the period of the Bhukti) into days, thus: 32x30+9 or
969. As the Moon’s Dasa period is 10 years, this has to be multiplied by 10 and a half ofthe product is to be taken = 969 x 10 x ½ or 4845. This will denote the number in Ghatikasof Moon’s Antara. This when converted into days will be = 4845 – 60 or 80 days 45
Ghatikas.
Slokas 5 ½ - 6 ½ : The Sun’s Dasa will, if the Sun be auspicious to the native, give during
his period sons, Intelligence, Wisdom, good status, knowledge, wealth, fame, valour,
happiness and divine favour. If the sun be inauspicious, the native will suffer intense
hardships; all his efforts will become useless; there will be much waste of money. He will
suffer from disease and there will be trouble from the enemy, royal displeasure, ill-health tofatherandsimilarotherhappenings.
Slokas 6 ½ - 7 ½: When the moon is auspicious, the mother’s prosperity and the buildingof tanks and the like may be expected. The native will get lands, gardens, houses, theblessings of good Brahmins, wealth, prosperity and joyrides. If the moon be unfavourable,
the native will suffer from want of food, will be miserly, will become devois of pleasure andwealth, suffer diseases, will be lacking in wisdom, will be censured, lose his mother, will
often
get
angry
and
suffer
fromfeversliketyphoid.
Slokas 7 ½ - 8 ½: The Dasa of Mars when Mars is auspicious will bring to the native lands,
desired objects, knowledge clearness of mind, prowess, wealth, destruction of enemies,
advent of brothers. If Mars be inauspicious, there will be distress to brothers,
misunderstandings, troubles through lands, danger from fire, wounds, decay of eyesightand the like, trouble from Government, misunderstandings with good people, shortcuts anddiseases.
Sloka 8 ½ - 9 ½: If mercury be auspicious, he will give during the Dasa clothing, endless
wealth, corn, status, prosperity, happiness, house, relations, success and fulfillment ofcherished desires and objects. If he be inauspicious, the native will go to be foreigncountry ; there will be anger, loss of relations, intellectual diminution, trouble from themerchant class, misunderstandings, loss of lands and money and other calamities.
Sloka 9 ½ - 10 ½: Jupiter, if auspicious, makes the native the headman of a big village,
blesses him with children, wealth and prosperity. The native will be a mine of all virtues,
will have many dependants, horses, joyrides and other comforts. If Jupiter be
unfavourable, there will be royal displeasure, mental worry, diseases, loss of courage, lackof corn, lack of money, trouble from Brahmisn, displeasure of the father, trouble for proper
meals and consumption.
Sloka 10½-11½: Venus when favourable will bring all happiness, prosperity, high status,
joyrides, the eight kinds of wealth, inclination to be virtuous- in a very high degree, gold,
garden, horses, music and processions. When Venus is there will be trouble to the wife. T
e person will become wick .d; wealth will be wast d:; there will be a big theft in his house.
He will commit serious faults and will suffer diseases arising from his intrigues in a largescale
with
the
woman
folk.
Sloka 11 ½ -12 ½ If Saturn be favourable, his Dasa will prove prosperous, will best thenative intelligence and will make him perform He will own bonds, will become the headmanof a village or of a small town. He will turn out to be °a big will be very enthusiastic.
vVhenS3.turn is in am picious, there win be poisoning, loss of wealth, troubles to body, etc.
and royal displeasure; his work will be frustrated; he will become worried and suffer
diseasescausing
intensetrouble.
Sloka 12½-13½: During the Dasa of Rahu,' when he is favourable, he will confer on thenative all that is best and desirable, a high position of authority, all kinds of virtues andwealth. The person will resort to holy shrines; will acquire sacred knowledge and power. If
Rahu be untoward, the person will be liable to d anger from reptiles, poison, disease andtrouble all over the body, danger from missiles and fire, worst enmity, a fall from a tree andtorments
fromenemies.
Sloka 13½ - 14½: During the advent of Ketu’s Dasa when Ketu is favourable, there will be
success in all undertakings, acquisition of wealth through bloody deeds, good fortune
through a foreign king, attempts at poetical com¬position and destruction of enemies.
When Ketu is bad, he will cause to the native intense miseries; all his efforts will become
fruitless; he will be doing only unprofitable things; there will also be loss of position; he will
suffer from rheumatism, tuberculosis, shaking all over the body,' misunderstanding with theBrahmin
folk.
He
will
further
committheworstfollies.
Sloka 14½ - 15½: (a) If Rahu or Ketu occupy a (Trikona-5th or 9th) and be conjoined withor aspected by the lord of the 2nd or the 7th house, they cause death during their Dasas.
(b) If they occupy the 7th or the 2nd house in conjunction with or aspected by the lord of
the 5th or 9th, they confer wealth and long life on the native. If under the same condition,viz., Rahu or Ketu occupying the 2nd or the 7th (c) any malefic planet be in conjunction
with the planet owning the 2nd or: the 7th house, his Dasa will bring on death to the native.
For (a)-See Chart 15 (p. 37 supra), Rahu is posited in the 5th house along with Mercury,the lord of the 7th, and the death of the native was in Rahu Dasa.
Sloka 15½ - 16½: (a) If Rahu or Ketu occupy a dual Rasi along with the lord of the 1st, 4th,

5th, 7th, 9th or the 10th house, or happen to be the lord of any of those Rasi the native will,
during the planet's Dasa period, get wealth power etc. (b) if any one of the above said be
conjoined with or aspected by the lord of the 6th, 8th or 14th house, there will not be such
benefit to the native, but the Dasa will bring about the demise of the native's mother or
other
near
relation.
Sloka 16½ 17½ (a): The same two planets if posit. ed in a fixed or a moveable Rasi andconjoined with planets owning a Kendra or a Trikona place will be productive of good
fortune during the Dasa of one of the two occupying an auspicious house. (b) If they be ina malefic house, they will not cause any good effect; some are however (if opinion thatthey will bring happiness. If these two should occupy malefic houses in company with
benefics, they become instrumental in causing the demise of the native.
Sloka 17 ½ - 18 ½: If Rahu or Ketu be posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house and -beconjoined with or aspected by any of the lords of these houses, they begin to afflict thenative during their Dasas. If they conjoin with (Maraka) planets or with the lords of theDusstthanas, they bring about the death of the native. If they be associated with the lordsof Kendra and Kona houses and be posited in the Dusstthanas, they cause somehappiness and then bring on death through diseases, wounds, misery, sword cuts,drowningorsuicide.
Sloka 18½ - 19½ (a) If the said two planets be conjoined witht strong Yogakaraka planetsand be posited in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th or 10th houses, they confer on the native
prosperity, happiness, children, wealth, power and superior vehicles. (b) The same, if
conjoined with the lords of the 7th and the 2nd houses or aspected by them, will cause theentire loss of wealth to the native and also bring about his death.
.
Sloka 19½ - 20½. The exaltation houses of Rahu and Ketu are Vrishabha and Vrischika
respectively. Their (Swakshetra) houses are Kumbha and Vrischika. Mithuna and Kany are
their Moolatrikona Rasis. Simha and Kataka are their inimical houses, while Tula and
Makara are their friendly signs. Mesha and the two Rasis owned by Jupiter are theirneutral ones. The said two planets are declared to possess maximum strength when they
are exalted. At other places, their strength will be proportionate conformably to the natureof
theirrelationtothehousestheyoccupy.
Sloka 20½ - 21½. If these two planets, possessed of strength be posited in any Bhava or
have anyone of the Bhava (Sambandb a) with the lord of any Bhava, they cause during
their Dasa good and bad effects overlooking the effects, if any, that may be caused byother planets. Whichever house they occupy, they will possess the strength of the lord ofthat house, and the good and bad effects resulting from the Bhava they occupy should be
predicted
accordingtothestrength
of
the
lord
of
that
Bhava.
Sloka 21 ½ - 22 ½: When the Dasa of any planet is ruling at the time, treat the houseoccupied by that planet as the Lagna, and find what house reckoned from this Lagna is
occupied by the (Bhuktinatha). Find also the strength of these two planets derived throughtheir being conjoined with or aspected by other planets. If these two planets be notmutually in quincunx aspect, the resulting effect will be happy. Otherwise, malefic effectwill
resultaccordingtothe.strengthoftheplanet.
Sloka 22½ - 23½: Dasa periods and their sub periods of planets owning Kendra houses
will prove auspicious, while those of planets owning the 2nd, 3rd and 11th houses will be
medium. The Dasas, etc., of planets owing the 6th, the 8th and the 12th houses will always
prove bad to the native. These effects should be predicted in the respective Dasas and
Bhuktis of planets after a scrutiny of the lord of the Dasa and the house occupied by him.
Sloka 23½ - 24½: If the (Bhukti-natha) be posited in the 12th, 6th or 8th place from thehouse oc¬cupied by the lord of a Dasa, he then becomes the enemy of the Dasa-lord. The
planet in the 11th, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th or 10th house from the (Dasanatha) is said tobe greatly auspicious to the native. The planet in the 7th house from the Dasanatha and
the
one
in
conjunction
with
him
are
also
productiveofgood.
Sloka 24½ - 25½: If the Dasanatha be malefic and the Bhuktinatha be benefic and not in
conjunction with the same, the effect will be unfavourable. If the Bhukti¬natha be benefic
and be associated with the Dasanatha, the effect wm be mixed. The Bhuktinatha, even if
he be a Yogakaraka planet, will become more unfavourable and distressing if he be notconjoinedwiththeDasanatha.
If the Dasanatha has got power to cause both Yoga'<ii1d'[' death, he will give the effects of
the
Yoga
first
in
his
own
Bhuktl.
Sloka 25½ - 26½. If the entire period over which the above-mentioned Yogakaraka rules
be fully auspicious, and the Bhuktis of the various malefic planets be like¬ wise favourable,
the Yogakaraka planet postpones the causing of death to the native. Such a Dasanatha
will never cause mixed effects. If he does, the Dasa will only prove completely fruitless. So
opine
the
wise.
Sloka 26½ - 27½: Jupiter and Venus in their mutual Dasas and Bhuktis confer on thenative kingship or the place of a. minister} much wealth and happiness through wife andchildren. There will be performance of sacrifices, birth of children, celebration of marriages
and other simi¬lar auspicious functions, provided the two planets are strong and occupy
good Bhavas and are also aspected by or conjoined with benefic planets.
Sloka 27½ - 28½; The same two planets if posited in such a way that they are either
quincunx to each other or are mutually placed in the 2nd and 12th; or if they two be
aspected by or conjoined with the lords of these houses; or if they be themselves theowners of these houses and be at the same time aspected by or in conjunc¬tion withmalefics, and are weak in positional strength, etc., they will during their Dasas bring on thesepation of wife and sons, displeasure of a high Brahmin-chief, trouble through intrigues
with females, royal displeasure and fear of epilepsy.
Sloka 28½ - 29½: If Venus and Saturn posited in their exaltation, Swakshetra or
Vargottamamsa be strong and 'equally powerful to cause Yoga, they will, in their mutualDasas and Bhuktis, make the native a beggar seeking alms and a powerless being, even if
he be born a king or a Kubera. Should however one of the two be strong and the other
weak,
the
stronger
one
will
give
the
Yoga.
Venus and Saturn are natural friends and any student of astrology, logy will expect goodresults in their mutual Dasat and Bhuktis. But the sense contained in this sloka is contrary
to the above statement. If the two planets are well placed, the Bhukti of Venus in Saturn's
Dasa and 'Vice versa will be the worst periods the native can possibly expect. The
stronger the two planets are the worse will be the effect.
Sloka 29½ - 30½. If both of them be weak and be so mutually placed that one occupied
the 12th, the 8th or the 6th from the other, or happen to be owners of such places; or beconjoined with the lords of these houses, they become auspicious and confer wealth andhappiness on the native. If one of them own, an auspicious house and the other anunfavourable one, even then, hath of them will produce good effects. If they are both
malefics,
they
will
prove
extremely
favourable
tothenative.
Sloka 30 ½ - 31½. Saturn and the Sun if they be placed in their own or exalted signs or in
the corresponding Navamsas and are in Kona or Kendra positions, or be 'owners of thesehouses, will bring to the person concerned royal favour, wealth and the like in the Sun's
Bhukti of Saturn's Dasa, and happiness, wealth and victory in Saturn's Bhukti of the Sun's
Dasa. If the two planets in question be both inauspicious, they cause distress to the'native.
31½ - 32½. If Mars and Jupiter, in the same manner be strong, occupy favourable houseand possess the aspect or association of strong benefic planets, they bring Rajayoga to
the native; they will bring joy, all kinds of enjoyments and pleasure, sons endowed withlong life, marriage and other pleasant functions. If otherwise, they will produce contraryeffects.
Sloka 32 ½ - 33 ½. Jupiter and Mercury, similarly strong, will nuke the motive do goodactions, learned, clever in trading and endowed with wife, children and happiness. Venus
and Mercury, Jupiter and the Moon, the Moon and Venus, Jupiter and the Sun, the Sun
and Mars, the Sun and Mercury, each of these pairs will produce effects similar to thosestatedfor
JupiterandMercury.
Sloka 33 ½ - 34 ½. Find the exact position of the Sun in a nativity. In any required year
after birth, find our on what day, hour, etc., the Sun in his periodical course occupies thatexact position. That day is called the solar year day of the native. Find out the Lagna at thetime and the positions of planets, and the several Bhavas; also calculate the Saptavargajabala of the planets. The results will reveal the nature of the effects for that year to thenative. The number of the asterism in which the Moon is at the time when reckoned fromthe natal star should be divided by9. The remainder will denote the order of the Dasa
reckoned
from
the
Sun.
Sloka 34½ - 36½. From the exact position of the Moon at the time, find out how many
more ghatikas the Moon has still to pass in the star in which she is. This when multipliedby the Dasa days mentioned below of the planet concerned and divided by the total
ghatikas taken by the Moon to travel through the complete asterism will reveal the numberof days, ghatikas, etc. of the (first) starting Dasa still remaining at the beginning of the newyear. 110, 60, 32, 40, 48, 56, 4, 5 and 10 are the numbers in their order representing theDasa, period 365 days in a year of 365 days for, the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury,
Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and the Lagna respectively. The second and succeeding
Dasas during the year have to be reckoned in this order alone. The effects – good or bad –for any of the Dasas should be predicted after a full reference to the strength – positional,
etc. – of the planet concerned, the Lagna at the entry of the year, the Bhava occupied bytheplanetandtheseveralaspectsonthesame(planet).
The system that is described in the two foregoing slokas enables the reader to have aclear idea as to how his position in life will be in any particular year. The system is unique
by itself. The horoscope for any particular, Year depends upon the exact time at which theSun, during his transit, comes to the position he had occupied at the time of birth. The
process of casting such annual horoscopes consists in finding the exact time at which the
Sun arrives at his old position in the year concerned. This time marks the beginning of thenative’s new year.

Exact time is required and a horoscope for that time should- be cast accurately. Find theasterism in which the Moon is at the time under consideration. The order of this asterism
reckoned from the natal star will reveal the lord of the Dasa counted from the Sun which
the native is undergoing at the commencement of this year. The order of the Dasa lords
will be as fol1ows; The Sun, the Moon, Mar, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu andthe Lagna. The portion traversed by the Moon at the time in the particular asterism will
revealtheportionof
thecorrespondingDasa
elapsed.
The above table is prepared to suit both systems of reckoning, viz., Ghatikas, etc.,
Vighatikas, etc., and hours, minutes, seconds. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0 under thecolumn 'Day' refer to the 7 days of the week from Sunday onwards.

Balance of Jupiter's Dasa-about 3 years.
The birth in question being at Sunrise, the Sun is posited in the rising Navamsa. Threenotable features are present in this nativity: (1) Mars, the Yogakaraka, occupies the centreof the 2nd (Dhana) Bhava; (2) the Sun, the lord of the 2nd, is posited exactly in the
Ascendant; (3) The Yogakaraka is in the 10th Kendra exactly with respect to the lord of the
Lagna, and thus the aspect of Mars over the Moon is full. From this, it will be clear that thepower wielded by the native will be immense. The native will have to earn more bywielding Power in some administrative capacity in virtue of the position of the Yogakaraka.
So much of stress had to be laid on 'the above statement, because, the rising' planet is theSun, the Rajvakaraka. The inheritance of the native will also be good as Jupiter, the lord of
the 9th (house of Father) occupies the 2nd in conjunction with Mats, the Yogakaraka, while
the Sun, the (Pitrukaraka) and the lord of the 2nd, is in the Lagna. The above statement
will have to lose some of its force as the conjunction of the said planets has been marredbytheinclusionofMercury,
the
lord
of
the
12th.
Regarding the position of the Moon, the presence of Mars, lord of the Rasi occupied by theMoon, in Kendra position with respect to her elevates the native to a considerably highpositiontheeffectdue
todepression
being
nullified(VII-26-28).
The aspect of Saturn, the lord of the 8th, over the (Dhana) Bhava and the 7th is not sogood. The conjunction of the lords of the 6th and the 12th in the 2nd Bhava is a very strong(Dhana) yoga. The presence of the two nodes of the Moon in Kendras will surely bring thenativetoprominence.
Jupiter and Mars, lords of the 9th and 10th as well as those of 9th and 10th as well asthose of 9th are conjoined in the 2nd house resulting in a very strong Raja yoga (IV-4)

The nature of the year under consideration for the native is to be discussed from theannual
chart
given
in
the
previouspage.
It is to be understood that the nature of the Lagna will always give an indication as, to thenature of that particular year. At the out¬set, the year augurs bad as the lord of the Lagna
has exchanged place with the lord of the 12th. To add to this, we have the complete
aspect of Venus, the lord of the 8th, over the Ascendant. Venus, being the lord of the 3rd,is aspected by Saturn, the lord of the 12th, and is without any benefic aspect. The 3rd
house also is aspected by Saturn. Saturn, the lord of the 11th, receives the aspect ofVenus, the lord of the 8th. The sun, the lord of the 6th aspects the 11th the 3rd house andMercury denote the afterborns (V-4. 36), while the 11th and Jupiter, the eldest brother (V19, 39). The year under reference will therefore be a bit unfavourable to the native's
brothers(youngeraswell
aselder).
The Sun, the lord of the 6th, is posited in the 5th, thus indi¬cating that the native's children
will not be keeping good health. The year IS not beneficial to the native's partner also, as
the lord of the 7th has gone to the 6th. Venus, the lord of a Dusstthana, is posited in the
7th, and the 7th is badly aspected by Saturn (the lord if the 12th). Much of the strain of thisunfavourableness 'will have to' be borne by the native himself, as all these above remarks
are made with reference to the native's Chart. To be short, the presence of Saturn may
cause
lot
of
expenditure
mostlyunexpected.
Coming to the particular periods, the year begins 'with Mercury's Dasa. He is gone to the
6th which is the 12th from the (Kalatra Lagna). The native will have to pass a difficult time,the difficulty being mostly due to his partner. The severity' is considerably reduced as
Mercuryis
aspectedbyJupiter;
The next period is that of Jupiter. The native ought to have, got the best he could get
during this year as Jupiter governs t e native's position and body. But the position of
Jupiter in the 12th will have to cause some disappointment in this direction. To support it,
this Jupiter is badly aspected by Mars who is conjoined with the lord of the 6th. Particularly
during Jupiter’s period, the native will have to experience a bit of anxiety on account of hiseldest brother, as Jupiter, the planet representing the eldest brother has gone to the 12th
andisaspectedbyMercury
inthe
6th.
Nothing good can be expected during the period of Venus as this planet rules, over the 8thhouse and is further aspected by a powerful Saturn. Venus in the capacity of theownership of the 3rd may cause ill health and some distress to the brothers of the native
duringhis
Dasa.

Saturn's period win be an anxious one so far as the health of the native's elder brother isconcerned, as Saturn is the lord of the' nth and is aspected by the lord of the 8th.
But Rahu's Dasa will be certainly better than that of Saturri as Rahu is aspected by Jupiter.
Next comes the Lagna Dasa. The nature of this depends much on Jupiter about whomcommenthas
alreadybeen
made.
The Sun's Dasa may cause ill health to the native's children as he is the lord of the 6th andispositedinthe
5th.
The only period during which the native will get some peace of mind is that ruled by theplanet representing the mind, that is, the Moon. She is best placed, being aspected byMars, her friend the lord of the 2nd and the 9th. She has escaped the Sun's aspect (theMoon is in the 6th degree of Makara while the Sun is in the 24th degree of Kataka). The
Sun
happens
to
own
the
6th.
The Dasa of Mars will also be good as he is aspected by the Moon, the lord of the 5ththough not so good as that of the Moon as he is eclipsed by the Sun's (lord of the 6th)rays.
In conclusion, we shall have to infer that the whole year will not be a happy and a peacefulone. The various incidents which the native will have to come across during this year will
make the native put on an appearance of entire resignation towards the doings of thesevarious planets as Jupiter and Saturn-the two philosophical planets--have exchanged
positions.
Sloka 36½ - 37½. In this connection, due consideration should also be given to the effects
that may be caused by planets transitting during their course the several houses reckoned
from the (Janma Rasi) radix Moon-,and the conjoined effects alone should be predicted. I
am now going to describe in a fine and easy manner the accurate effects of the several
Dasas
duringayear.
Sloka 37½ - 38½ . When the Sun is strong, there will be accumulation of wealth,acquisition of ornaments and wearing of new apparel. If the Sun be weak, there will be
increase of sin and enemies, loss of wealth and springing up of new troubles. When theMoon is strong, there will be royal favour, incessant flowing in of money and a position.
When the Moon is weak, more enemies will turn up. The person will suffer from sickness;there will also be change of place, misery and misunderstandings with one’s people.
Sloka 38½ - 39½. If Mars be endowed with strength, there will be royal favour, success inlife and domestic happiness. When Mars is weak there will be displeasure from thesovereign, quarrel with one’s own sons, enmity with one’s wife and decay of wealth. When
Mercury is very strong, the person concerned will be energetic. He will enjoy more
happiness and there will be more gain. If Mercury be weak, there will result
misunderstandings with one’s brothers, etc. He will take to bad ways and will do mischieftotheBrahminfolk.
Sloka 39½ - 40½ When Jupiter is fully 'powerful, the person will command good vehicles,
and houses. He will be munificent, possess good intellect and much wealth. If Jupiter be
weak there will be change of place and also loss of wealth. He will further go into bad
ways' and evil association. When Venus is possessed of much strength, there will be influxof wealth and fame. The native will have good white robes and female company. When
Venus is weak there will be loss of wealth, danger from enemies, diseases through female
arid
ill
fame.

Sloka 40½ - 41½. When Saturn is strong, the person will acquire a good house, and be
happy; he will become the headman or leader of a wild tribe. If Saturn be weak there will
be destruction of wealth, emaciation of the body, disease and ill-fame. When Rahu isstrong, he will make the native do good and virtuous acts get good income and rise in his
official position. When he is unfavourable, the effect likewise will be bad there may happen
the demise of the father. The person will further befriend base people and associate withhis
enemies.
Sloka 41½ - 42 ½ . When the Lagna Dasa rules, the effect will be good, medium or bad,according to the nature of the decanate occupied and the (Sambandha), Yogas, etc.
formed by that lord. Thus have been declared in an elegant and concise manner theeffects of the several Dasas in a year. Intelligent men should predict nature of the effects
with special reference to the strength of otherwise of the planets concerned derived
throughtheirassociation
withbenefics,
etc.
UTTARAKALAMRITAMSECTION 7 ON QUERIES

Sloka 1. Thus should all the effects be predicted in the case of a nativity through theposition of the several planets and the Lagna at the time. In the absence of the horoscope,
the effects should be divined through the Lagna rising at the time of query. There will be nodifference between the effects derived through the horoscope at birth or through the timeof query. If the day be clouded at the time and the exact Ghatikas that have elapsed since
Sunrise be not be readily available, the several Rasis and Navamsas should bedetermined by further queries (as detailed in the next 3 slokas).
Sloka 2. A querist should approach an astrologer with fruits and Dakshina and should
when asked, mention a number below 108. The same should be taken as the basis andpredictions – good or bad – about the past, present and future, should be made by the
astrologer after salutations to the feet of his preceptor.

Sloka 3 : The basis number aforesaid should be divided by 9; the quotient represents thenumber of Rasis from Mesha that have elapsed, and the remainder represents the numberof Navamsas elapsed in the Lagna at the time of query. The planets and the Bhavas at thetime should be determined and effects-good as well as bad-should be predicted as before
through the Karaka, planets and through the strongest of them.
Sloka 4 : The number of flowers and money units that had been handed over to him by thequerist, the astrologer should multiply by the basis number and divide the product by 12.
The remainder will signify the Rasi reckoned from Mesha in which Jupiter was posited in
the querist's nativity. Through the position of Jupiter at the time of query, the astrologer
can easily guess the age by a look at the querist and the probable number of cycles made

by Jupiter since the birth-time of the querist. The months days, etc. that have elapsed(since the last birth¬day), will be revealed by the portion of the Rasi traversed by Jupiter inthe Rasi occupied by him at the time of query. The total period thus obtained is to be
subtracted from the present position of the Sun to get the year, month, etc. of the birth inquestion.
Sloka 5: The month, the week day, the Ghatikas, etc., elapsed on the day, all will be solar.
From this, the Moon's position, the lunar years, month, Tithi, etc., and hence the wholehoroscope can be obtained, Thus have been described briefly the process of casting alost-horo¬scope. The method to get at a horoscope has thus been chalked out for thedelectation of those interested in the science.
Thus ends the method for casting Lost Horoscopes.

Sloka 6: Multiply the basis number by 2 and divide the product by 3. If the remainder be 1,
the query is about a living being; if it be 2, it relates to some mineral. If it be zero, it relates
to a plant. When the Lagna at query is Mesha, the matter relates to bipeds. If it be,
Vrishabha, it relates to quadrupeds; if the Lagna be, Mitbuna, it is about pregnancy. When
Kataka is rising, the subject relates to a legal dispute. When the Lagna is Sirnha, thematter relates to Government.

Sloka 7: If Kanya be the Lagna, the query relates to an intrigue with a woman other than
one's wife. The subject will be about trading when Tula is rising. If Vrischika be rising,
there will be fear from the wicked. It will relate to wealth lost when sign Dhanus is rising.
Some sinful deed will be the subject if Makara be the Lagna. If Kumbha is rising, it will be
about some religi¬ous rites. If Meena be the Lagna, it will relate to position and residence.
Thus sages say that it should be declared through the stronger of the two-viz., Rasi andNavamsa -rising at the time.

Sloka 8: If at the time of query, the Sun occupies his own Rasi or Navamsa whichever isstronger, the query relates to Sovereign and kingdom. If the Moon be in a similar position,
it relates to tanks and the like. If it be Mars, the question is about fire and danger from the'king or enemies. Mercury, similarly situated will relate to trade and agriculture. Jupiter willrefer to friends, king and the like. Venus will point to more happiness; while Saturn in sucha position will relate to a human being or immoveable property.

Sloka 9: Similarly, if a planet be exalted, the effect will be doubled; if debilitated, the effectwill be nil. When the planet is in a friend's house, the effect will be half; in a neutral'shouse, it will be very low. If two planets are exalted, or be in their Swakshetra Rasis, thequery should be answered by a wiseman after a reference to the stronger of the two andthe corresponding (Karaka) and the Bhava occupied by each of them.

Sloka 10: If a planet be exalted at the time, the business will be accomplished in a few
Ghatikas ; if occupy¬ing his own house, the business will be done in a few days; ifquartered in a friendly house, it will be finished in a few months. Otherwise, it will takesome years. If the planet be in any other positions,in conjunction with or aspected by amalefic, failure of the object will have to be predicted. If Saturn be exalted in the Lagna, orif the lords of the Lagna and the Bhava indicating the nature of the query be conjoined
with, or aspected by strong benefics, the immediate accomplishment of the businessshould be predicted.

Sloka 11: The horizon is a circle consisting of 360 degrees and there are 12 spokes eachat an interval of 300; and the 108 Navamsas are permanently located in the same. The
four pairs of moveable and immoveable signs beginning with Mesha represent the Eastand other principal points of the compass in order. The four dual signs, viz., Mithuna,
Kanya, Dhanus and Meena signify respectively the four intermediate points, viz., S. E., S.
W., N. W. and N. E. The astrologer should enter in the concerned Rasis and Navamsas
the several planets according to their exact longitudes at the time,
Sloka 12: If a person, with flowers, fruits, etc., (visible) in his hand, should approach theastrologer and standing in a place puts a query, the Rasi indicated by that place withrespect to the astrologer as per apportionment alluded to in. the last sloka is called the
Arudha Lagna at query, and the astrologer should predict in all such queries the effectsgood or bad as the case may be-through the planets owning the Arudha Lagna and thehouse representing the nature of the query with special reference to the planets conjoinedwith them or aspecting them.
Sloka 13: Find the Ghatikas that have elapsed from Sunrise at the time of query. Multiply
the same by 9 and divide the product by 20. The quotient in Ghatikas, etc., will represent
the exact position of the Moon at the time and which will be useful for purposes of query.
The position of the Moon at the time as revealed in the Ephemeris and the Moon abovereferred to are respective¬ly known as Stthula and Sukshma. Their respective Navamsas
should also be determined.

Slokas 14-15: When the Stthula Moon is aspected by the Sukshma Moon, Mercury andJupiter, the query is about an animal. If aspected by Mars, Rahu and Saturn, it is about amineral. If by Venus and the Sun, it relates to something of the vegetable kind. When the
Stthula Moon is aspected by Jupiter, Venus and Rahu, the query relates to something of amixed nature. If the (Stthula) Moon be posited in Tula, Kanya or Mithuna Navamsa, thequery concerns a biped. If in a Navamsa, owned by Kataka, Vrischika or Meena, it relates
to some creature of many legs. If the Stthula Moon is quartered in a Navamsa owned by
Dhanus or Kumbha, it is about some creature devoid of legs; if in a Navamsa owned by
Mesha, Simha, Makara or Vrisha¬bha, it relates to a quadruped. The 3 Avastthas of aplanet, viz., Bala Yauvana and Vrid¬dha are to be deduced from the planet's position in
the 1st, 2nd and 3rd decanate respectively of the Rasi in which it is at the time of query. So
say the ancient sages.

Sloka 16: The signs from Mesha onwards are respectively moveable, immoveable anddual. The moveable Rasis are also termed Garbha. The immoveable ones are known as
Dwara, while the dual Rasis are called Bahya. The signs indicated by the two classes, viz.,Garbha and Dwara will denote a thing or object kept in the fight hand, while a sign of the
Bahya class will indicate the same in the left hand. This is the way by which things hiddenin the hand should be distinguished.
Sloka 17: Thus should be guessed all about a thing, enclosed in the 'hand. The shortness
or longinquity of the object should be guessed through the measure allotted to the Rasi
concerned. The shape, colour, etc., are to be deduced from the Navamsas. The benefic or
malefic nature of the object should be divined through the nature of the planet-benefic or
malefic-occupying the Rasi; so also the place frequented by the object-whether on theland, sky water or mountains, and whether it is cruel, wild, tame or domestic, etc. 'Sloka 18: The basis number already referred to must be divided by 5. The remainder, if it
be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, will respectively denote whether the thing referred to by the querist will
be accomplished within the Ghatikas, the Tithi, the weekday, the month and the year. Add
the quotient already obtained to the basis number. Divide the sum so obtained by 60, 30,
7, 12 and 60 separately. The remainders will respectively denote the number, ef Ghatikas,
Tithi, etc, in which the desired, object will be completed. This is the method to be, adopted
in the case of all kinds of queries.
Sloka 19: If the lords of the Lagna and the Bhava representing the object of the query bebenefic, occupy good houses and mutually aspect each other by any kind of aspectreferred to in Drishtiphala¬khanda II -17½ -19½), the range of applying aspect being within12°, the astrologer may as before predict the successful fulfilment of the object inproportion to the strength, propitiousness, etc., of the two planets alluded to above, dueconsideration being given to the nature of the aspect, viz., best, medium or worst (asdefined in IV -33 supra.) The strength of the Karaka planet should also be simultaneously
considered and effect predicted. Further, if there be any planet posited between the twolords mentioned above, having an applying aspect with either of the two within the rangeof12°, prediction may also be made through that planet regarding the nature, functions,etc., attributed to the planet (in the ¬Karakatva Khanda V, Sloka 22½ - 54½). The period of
fulfilment may be guessed as per sloka 18 above.
This is an important sloka. Here the author has very briefly condensed the essential points
governing Prasnaphala nirupana - determining the effects of the query. When a queristconsults an astrologer on any point, say for example, whether he will have issues, it has
been usual with the astrologers to conclude their prediction on the merits of the (Lagnapa the planet owning the Rasi rising at the time of query) and the (the lord of thePrasnabhava-in this particular case, the lord of the 5th house) and the Karaka planet (inthis case, Jupiter, the Putraknraka). It has been found that in many cases, the predictions
have miserably failed though all the three planets were very favourably situated and thiswould perplex the astrologer and make him lose faith in the principles. In this sloka,
another important condition is stated in addition to the above strength, and this is nothing
but the importance attached to the applying aspect and which has been copied ill theWestern astrology.

Two cases are to be considered here:
Case I: The Lagnapa and Karyapa should have applying aspects of any of the kinds
described in the (Drishtiphaladhyaya - i. e., 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th Rasi
aspects) for the success of the object under query. If all the laid planets are powerful andthere is a separating aspect, the good effects need not be predicted. The range of aspect
may be taken as 120.

1. If this range is zero, the event will have happened at the time of query.
2. If it is within 120, shortly.
3. If it exceeds 120, it may not happen in the near future, but may happen at a far off futuredate.

If the conditions slated above for the success of the Bhava are satisfied, the degree of thesuccess should be predicted on the strength and auspiciousness of the planets.
If in addition to the above conditions, there is another planet 'between the two, aspecting(applying aspect) anyone of the said two planets, the success of the object will beachieved very easily by one's own efforts and through the medium of the intervening
planet. The nature, caste, relation, etc., attributed; to this inter¬mediary planet will guidethe astrologer in describing the details of the intervener.

Case II : In the Jataka Sastra, this point has been elaborately explained. 1t is said thateven if the two planets do not aspect each other, the success, entirely due to the help
rendered by a third person may be predicted if the two planets have the applying nonaspect within the 12 degree range and the third planet has an applying aspect with any ofthem.¬For example:

A querist asks whether he will be married or not.
Illustration for Case I. Suppose the Lagna falls in Dhanus with Jupiter 120, and Mercury in
Kanya 50. As he questions about marriage, the Prasnabhav is 7th, in this case Mithuna,and its lord Mercury is exalted in Kanya 5°; he is Karyadhipa in this case. Jupiter, theLagnadhipa, is powerfully placed in the Lagna and in his Mooltrikona. The two planets
have no prescribed aspects, but have the 4th and 10th Rasi aspects. As Mercury, a faster
planet, is placed (12 minus 5) 70 behind the slow planet Jupiter (i. e., Mercury has anapplying aspect on Jupiter) and as the difference does not exceed the limit of 120, it may
be safely predicted that he will have marriage with a prosperous girl and that the event will
happen without much exertion for the .same and without the help of an outsider.

If in addition, suppose the Moon is placed in Meena 2°, then the event will be hastened as
the Moon aspects (applying) both Mercury and Jupiter and a third party, i. e., a female
having the characteristics of the Moon, will accelerate the happening of the event.

All these results have to be based on the position, aspect, etc., of these planets.
Suppose, in, the above example, Mercury has 12° and Jupiter 5°; then, failure in theattempt has to be predicted though all other conditions are satisfactory, as the aspect is aseparating one.

Illustration for Case II. Suppose Mercury is placed in Mithuna 15° and Jupiter in Kataka
18°. As the two planets are placed in 2nd and 12th from each other, they do not aspect
each other, but they have the applying non-aspect within a range of (18 minus 15) 3
degrees. Suppose the Moon is in Meena 16° As the Moon has applying 4th and 5th aspect
to Mercury and Jupiter respectively, the object will be accomplished with the help of a third
party whose character has to be read out from the Moon.

In addition to these, there are 16 Yogas elaborately described in Tajika Neelakanti on thissubject and the interested reader may refer to that book.
In this way all the queries must be properly answered with due consideration of the points
stated above.
SECTION 8 - Miscellaneous.

Sloka 1 : The ceremony of impregnation is most auspiciously done when the Moon is in
Rohini, Mrigasira, Purvaphalguni, Purvashadha), Purvabhadra, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya,Hasta, Chittra, Swati, Visakha, Anuradha, Sravana, Dhanishta, Satabhisha,
Uffaraphalguni, Uttarashadha and Uttarabhadra, Dwiteeya, Saptami, Dwadasi, Panchami,
Dasa¬mi, Triteeya, Trayodasi, and in the week days of Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and theMoon, and in an auspicious Lagna unoccupied by any planet.
The Tithis - Ashtami, Powrnima and Amavasya are to be avoided.

Sloka 2: The first sexual union of a male and a female soon after a bath after the first'
menses is caned (Nisheka). That done in a similar manner after the ordinary monthly
menses is termed Garbhadhana. The Nisheka is declared to be most auspicious when theMoon at the time is in Hasta, Swati, Anpradha, Moola), Satabhisha, Sravana, Rohini,
Uttaraphalguni, Uttarashadha and Uttarabhadra and Revati, the Lagna being auspicious,
etc., and free from the occupation of any planet as stated before. Thus say the wise. .

Sloka 3: If a girl, though in her 16th summer, with well-developed breasts and body is yet
not found to have attained her puberty, she must with great affection be made to sit on adecent and beautiful seat on an auspicious day after being clad in white robes andbeautifully decked with golden ornaments, and her Venus-spot smeared with red saffronpowder mixed with rose water and other scents.

Sloka 4: Treating her as one in her real menses for three days, she should be bathed on
the 4th day. The husbanqd should approach her in auspicious Lagna, as stated before,
when the 5th house is unoccupied by any planet. If done in this manner, the girl will verysoon attain her puberty and prove a happy companion to her husband for propagation.
She will also become fit for sexual inter¬course and will possess the right to partake withher husband in the several religious ceremonies relating to the Gods and Manes.
Sloka 5: If a birth happens when the Moon is in Aslesha and Megha, the effects will be as
stated below: For a child born in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Pada of Aslesha, there will be (1)destruction of wealth (2) loss of brother (3) demise of mother or (4) death of father
respectively. If the birth be towards the very end of Aslesha, the child itself may take its
departure. To ward off the Dosha-harm above alluded to, one must propitiate God Rudra,Gods Kala, Antaka and Mrityu, as per rules, if the birth takes place in Magha in the 1st,
2nd, 3rd or 4th Pada, the effect will be the reverse of what has been stated in the case of
Aslesha above.

Sloka 6: The effects will be likewise if the birth happens when the Moon is in Jyeshta andMoola or Revati and Aswini. In the above-said three pairs, the last degree of Aslesha,
Jyeshta and Revati and the first degree of Magha, Moola and Aswini are called
Gandantarala and are sup¬posed as vulnerable points, so that, any birth happening
therein will soon cause the demise of the child. Should however the child survive, he will
be a king or emperor possessing surpassing valour.

Sloka 7: If a girl should attain maturity at such a juncture, she will soon become a widow
and will be devoid - of issues, wealth, happiness and clothing. She will be of bad
disposition and a bane on her father's house. These can be averted and she can soon bemade to bring happiness and luck, and bear children too, if proper propiti¬ation to Gods,
Brahmins and planets be made according to Vedic rites by Japa, Boma and Archana(worship).
Sloka 8: If the birth of a girl or her maturity hap¬pens in a Tyajyakala consisting of 4
Ghatikas, the effect will be (1) demise of the father (2) demise of the mother (3) loss ofwealth or (4) one's own destruction according as the birth or maturity has happened in the
1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th ghatika respectively of the Tyajyakala. To ward off the evils accruing
from these, one should perform the (1) worship of God Rudra (2) worship of God Yama (3)worship of Fire or (4) worship of God mrityu respectively. When the birth or maturity
happens during a solar or lunar eclipse, the death of the father or the mother will

respectively happen.
Sloka 9: A precious and divine medicine should be got prepared or taken in when theMoon is in the Amritaghatika of a star. It will then act like nectar and completely cure thedisease one is ailing from. It will also totally remove all troubles arising from the threehumours. It will restore perfect health and give vital energy' to the native and lengthen hislife. The sage Dhanvantari, born of the ocean, has thus described in many ways the
medical cures to be effected for removing the various diseases. .

Sloka 10: If a person be sonless even at his 60th' year, or if his horoscope reveals that heis short-lived and that he has not been blessed with any issue, he must makearrangements to adopt a son in the year wished for by him. The boy selected should beendowed with long life, fame, issues, intelligence and prosperity. This func¬tion should bedone on an auspicious day in the Uttarayana and in a fore-noon.
Sloka 11: The several Kutas (20) between the person concerned and the boy proposed tobe adopted should agree, and the boy should be one of his own Gotra. The Moon should
occupy at the time anyone of the following constellations: viz., Swati, Punar¬vasu, Pushya,Rohini, Anuradha, Hasta, Revati, Aswini, Sravana, Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Uttaraphalguni,
Uttarashadha and Uttara¬bhadra. The Lagna and the 5th house should not be occupied byany malefic planet. The Moon should possess Tarabala and also be strong, and the Lagnashould be conjoined with or aspected by benefics.

Sloka 12: The preliminary work leading to a mar¬riage should be got started by
Sumangalis when the Moon occupies Punarvasu, Pushya, Aswini, Anuradha, Hasta,
Chittra, Swati, Sravana, Dhanishta and Satabhisha, and on weekday other than those ofVenus and Mars. The 5th and 9th houses should be unoccupied and the Lagna at the timeshould be an auspicious one. The several planets should also be propitiated and the wholefunction should be performed accompanied by music dancing, and the like.
Sloka 13: On a day when the Moon is full, on a day of Mercury when he is free from
malefic aspect and conjunction, on the day of Jupiter or of Venus, in Bhadra, Puma or
Jaya Tithi, and when the Moon is quartered in moveable asterisms - Swati, Punarvasu,
Sravana, Dha¬nishta and Satabhisha, - and in the fast-moving asterisms - Aswini, Hasta
and Pushya - in a Lagna aspected or occupied by Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, when the
5th house is unoccupied, the auspici¬ous invitation letters should be got written couched insoft and sweet language.

Sloka 14: The number of the Tithis at the time of erecting a stick or a post (for a marriage
pandal) should be multiplied by 5. To this product should be added the number of the day's
asterism counted from Krittika. To this sum again should be superadded 12 and the whole
sum divided by 9. If the remainder be 7, 4 or 1, the tortoise king will be in water, whichmeans the result ¬will be gain or good. If the said remainder be 8, 2 or 5, the tortoise will
be on land, and the effect of the same is loss or destruction. If the remainder in question
be 3, 9 or 6, he would be in the sky, and the effect would be death.

Sloka 15: At the time of construction of any new building, write 3 emblems (in the form ofvertical cylinders). In each of them draw 4 horizontal lines. Beginning, from the bottom on
the left side, write out Aswini and the other asterisms as shown in the figure. The asterisms
that are ascending and the three on the tops are productive of good. But if a malefic planet
be quartered on any star on the ascending side, it indicates death. If the planet be benefic,
the result will be good.

Sloka 16: In the case of any new entry to a house or town or the beginning of anundertaking, count from the star occupied by the Sun till the star occupied by the Moon at
the time, Abhijit also being included in the reckoning. If the star happens to be within thefirst 7 asterisms counted from the Sun, it indicates evil; if within the next 4, good will be theresult; in the next 3, the result is bad and in the next 14, it is good. This is known as
Vrishabha chakra. In the same way, if the star falls within the first 5 counted from thatoccupied by the Sun, it is bad; if within the next 8, it is good. It is bad in the succeeding 8,
and in the last 6, it is again good. This is called Kalasa chakra. In this manner, the good or
bad effect of any undertaking may easily be ascertained.
Slokas 17-18½: is chakra is named Dasa and is of the form of a human being, a male.
Count from the natal star of the servant till that of the master.

counting from the Sun's star till that of the Moon, if the star at the time faIls within the first
6, it indicates death; if within the next 20, the effect will be fame and prosperity; if in the last2, decay of wealth. It is only then that the work will bring fame, happiness and prosperity tothe family.
Sloka 35: Count from the Sun's star till, the asterism of the day. Allot 4 stars for the upper
portion of the door-frame, 3 for the centre, 8 for the 4 corners at 2 each, 8 for the top
hinges at 4 for each and the last 4 for the bottom of the frame. The respective effects are(1) kingship (2) kingship again (3) banishment (4) 8 kinds of wealth and (5) death. This istermed Dwara Chakra and is useful to find out the auspicious asterism for erecting thedoor frame.

Sloka 36: Find the Tithi ruling at the time; add it to the number representing the week dayand' one more. Divide this sum by 4. If the remainder be 3 or 0, it augurs happiness. If it be
1 or 2, it means loss of money. Count from the star occupied by the Sun till the one
occupied by the Moon. Divide the number into 9 groups of 3 each and. allot them to theseveral planets in the following order: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Moon, Mars, Jupiter,
Rahu and Ketu. If the star corresponds to a benefic planet, it indicates prosperity; if to amalefic planet, it forebodes evil. This Chakra is to be used whenever a new oven is to be
used or a new fire is proposed for the purpose of propitiation of planets or a sacrificial rite.
Sloka 37: Multiply the length by the breadth of a box in terms of inches and Yavas. Divide
the product by 9. The remainders thereof, viz., 1, 2, 3, etc., will respectively correspond to
the 9 planets from the Sun onwards. The effects are either good or bad according as theremainder concerned refers to a benefic or a malefic planet. Where it exceeds 2 Yavas, it
is a mark. An inch = 8 Yavas.

concealed in a house or site, and to ascertain the truth or otherwise of its existence byverification, the following Chakra named Nidhi Chakra is recommended: Draw fivehori¬zontal lines crossed by 8 vertical lines There will thus be 28 squares and these haveto be allotted to the 28 asterisms inclusive of Abhijit thus:

Slokas 42-43½: The 7 squares in the top horizontal line - are occupied by the stars: Revati,
Aswini; Bharani, Krittika, Magha, Purvaphalgini and Uttaraphalguni respectively. The orderof the stars in the next horizontal line will be Uttarabhadra, Purvabhadra, Satabhisha,
Rohini, Aslesha, Pushya and 1 Hasta. The third horizontal row will contain in the regularorder the stars Abhijit, Sravana, Dhanishta, Mrigasira, Ardra, Punarvasu and Chitra. The
last line will consist of Uttarashadha, purvashadha, Moola, Jyeshta, Anu¬radha, Visakha
and Swati. The Moon is the lord only for the 14 stars; viz., Bharani, Krittika, Aswini, Ardra,
Punarvasu, Pushya, Magha, Aslesha, Abhi¬jit, Revati, Sravana, Uttarashadha,Purvashadha and Purvabhadra. The Sun is the lord of the other 14. The Sun and theMoon at the time of query will reveal the kind of the treasure hidden (vide Slokas 46-47

Slokas 43½ - 45: The time in Ghatikas taken by the Sun to traverse a complete star fromits beginning to the end is declared to be the divisor. Find the interval in ghatikas taken by
the Sun from the time of his entry into that star till the desired moment and multiply thesame by 60 and use the divisor above referred to. The remainder multiplied by 27 anddivided - by 60 will give the number of stars reckoned from Aswini that have been passedby the Sun till that time. These with the remainder in Ghatikas and Vighatikas will give theposition of the Sun at the time. Find out the interval taken by the Moon in the star she isoccupying to travel the Ishta ghatee or required time. Multiply this by 27 and divide theproduct by 60. The quotient will reveal the number of stars reckoned from Aswini passedby the Moon. The remainder in Ghatikas and Vighatikas will indicate her position at thetime.
Sloka 46: Find the Moon at the time (as per previous sloka). If the same be aspected byplanets from the Sun onwards, the treasure concealed will contain (1) golden jewels (2)silver (3) copper (4) brass (5) gold (6) bell metal (7) iron (8) tin and (9) lead. If aspected bymany powerful planets, the treasure will contain many sorts of metals. If aspected by none,
there will be no treasure at all concealed.

Sloka 47: If the Moon at the time be aspected by all the planets, the person will get
valuable treasure filled in a very big vessel. If the above-said Moon be in Simha, thetreasure will be in a golden vessel. if in the house belonging to the Stthula Moon (videsloka VII - 13 supra), it will be in a silver vessel; if in the house of Mars, it will be in acopper vessel; if in that of Mercury, it will be in a vessel made out of a precious stone; if in
Jupiter's house, it is in a stone-vessel; if in the house of Venus, it will be in an earthen pot;
if in Saturn's, it is in an iron vessel.

Sloka 48: If the Sun and the Moon are together in a star ruled by the Moon at the time(vide sloka 45 supra), it means there is treasure. If the two planets are in a star ruled by
the Sun, the treasure will contain bones. If the Sun and the Moon interchange their places,
nothing will be found. If the Moon be conjoined with malefics, the person cannot get thetreasure; if conjoined with benefics, he will get it. The depth of the interned treasure is to
be guessed, in units of a hand's length, by the number of degrees passed by the Moon in
the star.

Slokas 49-50: Draw four vertical lines crossed by four horizontal lines. There will thus be 9
squares. Reckoning from the star occupied by the Sun at the time, allot 3 stars for thecentre, the 8 other groups of 3 stars each being reserved for the 8 directions beginningfrom the East. The position of the Moon on the day of the marriage will be revealed inanyone of these squares. The several effects of these beginning from the central squareare (1) loss of the couple (2) prosperity (3) destruction of the entire family (4) widowhood(5) continuance of the family (6) large debt and disease (7) the girl concerned going astray(8) wealth and corn and (9) all kinds of prosperity. Thus the tree of Chakras has been
described by Lord Siva to Sri Nandin.

Sloka 77: Inscribing the' figure of the Goddess Saraswati under the sacred syllabus (Aun),draw ten vertical lines crossed by ten horizontal lines. The squares formed by the even
(2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th) columns and similar sets of rows (deleting the four such squares
round the central one) are 12 in number. They represent the 12 Rasis from Mesha
onwards. I shall how proceed to describe the functions of the twelve Bhavas from the
Lagna onwards for the ascertainment by the wise of the several effects.
The Chakra referred to is similar to the one given in the margin. See also the tj(Sar¬vatobhadra Chakra) de¬scribed in Pha'ladeepika p. 308.

The 3rd (Pada) of the sloka is missing.
Sloka 78 : All planets saspect the 7th with a full glance, while the aspects of Saturn, Jupiterand Mars are peculiar. Saturn aspects the 3rd and 10th with a full eye. Jupiter casts asimilar glance over the 5th and 9th houses j while Mars, over the- 4th and 8th.
Only a portion of this sloka is available. For further details, please see II-17 ½ - 18 ½,
Supra.
Sloka 79: All benefics, if they own the Trikona houses, prove auspicious when they occupy
be 3rd, 2nd, 11th and Kendra flouses. A benefic owning a Kendra will not give goodresults, while on the other hand, a malefic -owning a Kendra will not prove inauspicious.
The lords -of the 8th and 12th houses reckoned from the Lagna, if in conjunction ormutually occupying each other's houses, produce effects as described below: The loard of
the 8th gives auspicious results, while the lord of the 12th brings wealth, luck, etc.
Sloka 80: If one of 'the two- planets referred to above (i,e. owning the 8th or the 12th)
happens to own the Lagna as well, he wm prove auspicious. Jupiter and Venus happening
to own the Kendras are inauspicious, and should they be also posited in the (Maraka-2nd
and 7th) places, they become Marakas. Mercury, similarly situated, will prove likewise. The
Maan and the Sun, they happen awn the 8th, will not prove Marakas Mars. What isotherwise called (Ara) happening to own the 4th as well as the 9th (Simha Lagna, far
example) will prove auspicious, and not so if he awns only one of the said two houses.
Saturn, Venus and Mars prove auspicious for people born under Kumbha, Tula and Mesha
Lagna respectively, though these planets are owners of Dusstthanas (8th and 12th).
We shall discuss here the position of Mars in the 10th for Mesha Lagna and that of Venus
in the 7th for Tula Lagna. In both the cases, the lords of the respective Lagna arc positedin Kendra positions and give their full aspect to the Ascendant. Mars in Makara for Mesha
Lagna is a draw- so far as the longevity of the person is concerned. Though Mars in thisposition occupies one of the best Kendras and is therefore with full Digbala, his\lordshipover the 8th will also have to be considered. Mars in Makara will naturally mean his full
aspect over the Lagna and cases where Mars and Saturn are devoid of benefic aspect,
this aspect will mean a very strong (Alpayuryoga)-vide III-8, Rule,1, Supra.
For people born under Tula, Venu in Mesha is likewise injurious for longevity. When Venus
and Mars are devoid of benefic aspect, two cases of very strong Alpayuryogas arise: viz.,(0 by virtue of Venus's position in the 7th singly. (This rule applies only when Venus isalone) and (2) Venus's aspect over the Lagna as the owner of the 8th-vide III-8, Rule 1,
supra.

For the two luminaries owning the 8th and not proving Marakas, Ct. IV-25, supra.
Sloka 81: The two nodes – Rahu and Ketu – if endowed with strength, produce effects
similar to the planet in whose house they are posited or with whom they are conjoined!.
The lords of the Kendra and Kona houses, if not conjoined with the two Rodes, produce
beneficial results. Tae effects will be contrary, if they be otherwise. These two nodes inspite of their malefic nature' become benefics by virtue of their position in certain houses or
association with certain planets.

Sloka 82. If on of the two nodes and the lord of a Trikona be posited in the 9th or 10th, or if
one of them be in the 9th and the other in the 10th or vice versa, the Yoga, will cause
prosperity to the native. Even a con¬junction of either of these with the lord of a Kana will
prove beneficial. In the Cbbove circumstances, the Dasas of these two nodes as we as
those of the planets conjoined? With them will prove happy. If there were to be a planet
who is inauspicious associated by a sort of (Sambandha) will either of the nodes, then the
Bhukti of the Yoga-producing planet win prove adverse.

Sloka 83 : The two planets – Rahu and Ketu become auspicious when they occupy a
Trikona or a Kendra position (vide Chart 44, pp. 69-70), or, when they are associated withthe lord of that particular Kendra or Kona house in which they are posited they prove also
beneficial when they conjoin with the lords of any Kendra or Kona house. If, in the above
circumstance, the lord of the 9th were to own' the 8th or the 12th as well) or if the lords ofthe 9th and 10th were to conjoin with the lords of the 8th or the 12th) then theauspiciousness of the Yoga is lost. The 8th house is termed the house of longevity.

Sloka 84. The 8th house counted from the 8th also repsents longevity. The 12th place
reckoned each of these, that is, the 2nd the 7th from the Lagna are known as (VIaraka)
home. The in the 2rd house from the Lagna or from its lord is a (Papin-inauspicious). An
during the of such an inauspicious planet or in the Dasa of the planet owning the 12thhouse itself will the native endure discomfiture.
Sloka 85. Saturn, in spite of his being by himself auspicious) if endowed with the power ofa Maraka, brings about the death of the native during his own Bhukti, overlooking theclaims of the other planets (that may have the right to do in the Dasas of inauspicious
planets, as a consequence of his (Sambandha) with the lord of the 12th or of the 8th. All
planets, if invested with Maraka powers, do so in their own Bhuktis in the Dasas of (a) thelords of the 8th and the 12th (b) the planets associated with them or (c) planets similarly
situated.
Sloka 86 : In the Dasa of a planet owning a Trikona house, the nature of the sub-periods ofthe several planets is to be guessed after studying the relative positions of these planetswith reference to the (Dasanatha). In this Dasa, the Bhukti of a planet owning a Kendra will
be auspicious. Mere (Sambandh ) with a Kendra¬ lord will not make a planet's Bhukti
auspicious. If a planet endowed with Maraka power prove also auspicious, 'the auspicious
Yoga will occur first.

Sloka 87. The Bhukti of an inauspicious planet may prove auspicious by virtue of his(Sambandha) with to be planets aforesaid. A Yogakaraka planet will be capable of doing
good in his Dasa during the Bhukti of another planet, even if the latter be not connectedwith him. The two nodes prove auspicious in, their Bhuktis during the Dasa of ………….

The translation cannot be completed as the last (Pada) missing.
Sloka 88. If the said two nodes be conjoined with a benefic and placed betwixt two
malefics, then the Bhuktis of the malefics that are not conjoined with either ,of the nodes
will give auspicious effects. If the benefic associated with the node be a Yogakaraka one,his Bhukti will give mixed effect. If not conjoined, the effect will be very adverse. If Rahu or
Ketu be a Maraka, then he will bring about demise in the Bhukti of the benefic planet inquestion or in that of his own.
Sloka 89. During Saturn's Dasa, Saturn gives the effect of Mars in his own Bhukti and thatof his own in Mars' Bhukti. The same is the case in Kuja's Dasa well. If the lords of the
Lagna and the, Chandra Lagna were to exchange places, they bestow Rajayoga on thenative. Rajayoga will also arise when the lords - of the 9th and 10th interchange. For the
benefit of students, I shall now describe, after full investigation, the effect of the several
Lagnas and the planets' relationship with them.

Sloka 90: For people born in the Mesha Lagna, Mercury proves inauspicious. Both Jupiterand the Sun prove auspicious when they are conjoined. The conjunction of Jupiter andSaturn is good. Jupiter’s conjunction with the other planets is inauspicious. Venus proves a
Maraka. Saturn and the rest do not prove so, even if they be inauspicious.
Jupiter, Venus and the Moon prove inauspicious while the Sun and Saturn are auspicious
for those born in the Vrishaba Lagna.

Re: Mesha Lagna: Jupiter and Saturn are the lords of the 9th and 10th and hence theirconjunction results in a Rajayoga.

Venus owns the two Maraka places and therefore a Maraka. Mercury is a (Papin) as heowns the 3rd and the 6th.
Sloka 91: Saturn by himself is capable of doing good to the antive. Jupiter and the rest if
they prove Marakas will not cause death if they be alone.

For people born in the Mithuna Lagna, Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are Asubhas. The effectof their conjunction is similar to what has been said before. The Moon by herself will notbring about deathy, while the rest can do so.

Venus and Mercury are inauspicious while mars and Jupiter are Subhas for people born in
the Kataka Lagna.

This is an important Sloka.
Re: Vrishabha Lagna: Saturn, being the Yogakaraka, has got the power to do good to thenative independently. In the case of Jupiter and others, they will have to get the agency ofanother planet to cause Maraka. In other words, one of these planets in its Dasa will cause
death in the Bhukti of another planet and not in its own. Venus, through owning the Lagna
is a Papin-in-auspicious because, he owns the 6th house also. Cf. Chart-82, P.168

Re: Mithuna Lagna: The effect of the conjunctions of Mars, Jupiter and the Sun is very
tersely expressed. Jupiter and Mars when conjoined bring about Rajayoga to the native as
they happen to own the 10th and 9th houses reckoned from the 10th. The conjunction of
the Sun and Mars is inauspicious and is a weak point for the native as this conjunction will
make the lord of the 3rd weak. It should be noted that the three planets are the owners of
all the (Upachaya) houses.

The Moon as owner of the 2nd happens to be a Maraka; but as the luminaries do not
exercise that power (vide IV-25), the work is got done by some other planet connected withher.

Sloka 92: Mars by himself causes Yoga. The Sun does not kill. The rest (if they have thatfunction) do it. These are the effects of planets for those born in the kataka Lagna.
Mercury and Venus are auspicious. So also are Mars and Jupiter. The combination of
Jupiter and Venus is not at all auspicious. Mercury and others cause death. These are theeffects for those born in the Simha Lagna.
Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are Asubha. Venus is the only Subha.

Re: Kataka Lagna: Mars causes Yoga as he is the Yoga Karaka. The Sun does not kill

through he is the lord of the 2nd – (Cf. IV-25) supra. Mercury is inauspicious as he owns
the 3rds and 12th.
Re: Simha Lagna : Mercury owns the 2nd and the 11th and is therefore auspicious. (IV-5)
Mars is the Yogakaraka.
Sloka 93 : Venus and the Moon are Yoga-producing planets and more so will be their
combination. Venus is a Maraka and not the others. These are the effects for people bornin the Kanya Lagna.
Jupiter, the Sun and Mars are Aubhas. Saturn and Mercury are Subhas. The Moon in
conjunction with her son, mercury, produces Rajayoga. Kuja proves a Maraka. The
conjunction of Jupiter and the Sun does not cause death. These are for people who havetheir births in the Tula Lagna.
The conjunction of the Moon and Venus is very auspicious for people born in the Kanya
Lagna as the happen to be the lords of the 11th and 2nd (Cf-IV-5 supra).
The two inferior planets – Venus and Mercury – are best friends and therefore Mercury is a
Subha for Tula Lagna in spite of his ownership of the 12th.
The combination of the Moon and Mercury is auspicious, because they are the owners of
the 10th and 9th houses from Tula.

Sloka 94: Mercury, Mars and Venus, these three, are productive of bad results. The Moonis the only Subha. The Sun and the Moon produce very good effects and equally so is their
combination. Jupiter by himself will not be a Maraka, while mercury and others, if theyfunction as maracas, will bring about the demise of the native. These are the effects for a
person born in the Vrischika Lagna.
Venus is the only planet that is Asubha, while the Sun and Mars are highly auspicious.
Re: Vrischika Lagna: Though Mars owns the Lagna he is inauspicious as he owns the 6th.
Cf. Chart 80, p. 162.
Sloka 95: The combination of the Sun and Mercury will cause good Yoga. Mercury provesa Marka. Venus and the rest are not so. These are the effects for a birth when Dhanus is
the Lagna.

Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are Asubhas, while Venus and Mercury are auspicious. Saturnby himself does not kill. Mars and the rest may do so. Venus is the Yogakaraka. These are
the effects for people born in the Makara Lagna.

Re: Dhanus: Venus is an Asubha as he owns the 6th. The Sun and Mercury are the lordsof the 9th and 10th and produce Rajayoga when they conjoin together. Mercury owns two
Kendra houses and is also a Makara as he is the lord of the 7th.

Re: Makara: Jupiter is an Asubha as he owns the 12th, and also because, Makara is his
Neecha Rasi. Saturn though owning the 2nd is not a Maraka as he is the lord of the Lagna.

Sloka 96: Jupiter, the Moon and Mars are Asubhas. Venus is auspicious. The combinationof Mercury and Mars is productive of good yoga. Jupiter does not kill. Mars, the Sun andthe rest prove Marakas. These are the effects for people born in the Kumbha Lagna.

Saturn and Venus, otherwise known as Kavi, are Subhas. Mars and the Moon are
inauspicious. The conjunction of Jupier and Mars causes Rajayoga. Mercury kills, while
Mars does not. Saturn and the rest, if they prove Marakas, cause death.

Re : Kumbha: It may here be noted that Jupiter, though he owns the 2nd and 11th isconsidered as inauspicious for this Lagna unlike Mercury who is classified as a Subha
when playing a similar role in the case of Simha Lagna (Sloka 92 above). Probably, thismay be due to the fact that the relationship between the Sun and Mercury is closer andmore intimate than that between Saturn and Jupiter.
Re : Meena: Saturn, though owning the 12th, is considered as a Subha. Venus is a Subhain spite of the fact that he owns the 8th. This is so, because, Meena is his exaltation
house.
Mercury is the lord of two Kendras and of a Maraka house. For the Lagnas owned by
Jupiter, Mercury invariably proves a Maraka.
Sloka 97: The above are the effects of a birth in the Meena Lagna. The good or the bad
effects of any planet are to be guessed through a study of the planets that are conjoinedwith the planet in question and also of the position occupied by the said planet. Planets
when they prove auspicious bestow on the native issues, wife, happiness to father, gainand other auspicious incidents in their Dasas (i.e., in the Dasas of planets pertaining tothese Bhavas) and in their Bhuktis or in the Bhuktis of other planets.
Sloka 98: Intelligent and good people, even after having studied this science well, say"Who has understood the science? No one. If there be any, he is the only man, and hekeeps it for himself. It has been made known that even asses, dogs and the like are bornunder similar Yogas, and they also are subject to the effects of these Yogas in therespective Dasas of planets causing these Yogas. These Yogas are also influenced byother forces."
Sloka 99: If there be any malefics posited in their highest exaltation coupled with their dutyas Marakas one need not say the amount of evil caused by them. Saturn brings about agood amount of wealth and prospe¬rity when he is posited in the Lagna identical with
Meena, Tula or Dhanus. if, under the above condition, the 7th Kendra be not occupied or
aspected by Jupiter or Mercury, the native will become a king. Death should be predictedin the Dasa and Bhukti of the lord of the 7th house.

Saturn is declared to be capable of conferring royalty on the native when he is posited in
Tula, Dhanus or Meena identical with the Lagna.

Sloka 100: If Jupiter be posited in the 7th from the Lagna, and Venus in the 7th from
Jupiter; or if Jupiter were to occupy the 8th house reckoned from the lord of the 8th andalso be in the 12th from a malefic, the person concerned will live only for 30 years. If
Saturn were to occupy the 8th house counted from the lord of the 9th and. be also positedin an odd Navamsa, the native's pros¬perity will not be continuous. If the same planet be¬similarly situated with respect to the lord of the 4th, the native will be deprived of his
vehicles.

Sloka 101: If the Moon be conjoined with Venus, and the lord of the house occupied by thetwo planets be in a Kendra or a Kana, the native will, throughout his career, command
good vehicles and be endowed with prosperity. If the lord of the 8th house reckoned fromthe 3rd be posited in the 3rd, 6th, 7th, the 11th or the¬ 1st something untoward to his
brothers should be expected. If the 8th house be occupied by a planet in debilitation, andthe lord........
The reading is hopelessly corrupt. The translation could not therefore be completed.

Sloka 102: If the lord of the 8th house reckoned from the 9th be aspected by the Moon, thenative will be ¬short - lived. If Venus, be conjoined with Rahu, there will be decline in thenative's prosperity in the period beginning with Ketu's. If Venus were to be posited in the
6th or the 8th in conjunction with Ulka and other comet, decrease in the longevity is
indicated.
Ulka is a comet supposed to be very harmful and his place in the zodiac is in the 10th (5th)asterism from the one -occupied by the Sun.
Sloka103: Wisemen say that the life of a person will be reduced when the lords of the
Chara, Stthira and Ubhaya signs are posited in Chara, Stthira and Ubhaya Rasis
respectively. The life will be medium when the lords of the above-said signs occupy
Stthira, Ubhaya and Chara Rasis respectively. The person will be long-lived when the saidlords occupy Ubhaya, Chara and Stthira signs respectively.
Mars occupying a sign of Venus or vice versa ushers a Kulata into the world.

The translation given for the first half of the Sloka is only tentative. A line is missing in thesloka.
Sloka 104: A child Darn in any of the three week-days - Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday
synchronizing with any of the three Tithis - Dwiteeya, Dwadasee and, Saptamee, and anyof the stars other than Chittra, will have to be declared as a result of the mother's congresswith a person other than the lawful husband.

The sloka is not complete. Two lines are wanting.
For the idea given above, compare the following from Jatak - Parijat

Sloka 105: If malefics occupy the 4th and 8th houses, and Venus, identical with the lord of
the 7th, be posited betwixt malefics and be bereft of any benefic aspect in the nativities ofa couple born in the bright half of a month, the Yoga is termed Vahninipata - a cruel Yoga),

This sloka of a different metre in this place appears to be not a genuine one.
The end
