PREFACELaghu Parasar i occupies a p lace of pr ide in Hindu

astrological literature. Its principles originate from the gospelbook of astrology i.e., Brihat Parasara Hora sastra.In thiJshorttrcatisc a pcculiar and specific way and lucidity has been adoptedIrr prcscnting the Parasara principles. This short work in a truept'rspective is the prime and foremost work for those who wantto dive deep into the vast ocean of predictive astrology.'

Vimsottari Dasa or.Udu Dasa system, which this LaghuParasari deals is logical and in vogue since the evorutiofi ofMaharishi Parasara's system in Hindu astrology. Tiuly it is invogue because it has stood to the test of time.

--

Sanskrit is the language which has many different meaningsfor the same worcl. There are many commentaries on LaghuParasari by illustrious commentators. Due to above peculiaiityof the Sanskrit language, the work got corrupt with manydiscrepancies rather due to misinterpretations of thlcommentators. we have tried here to stick to the principles strictlyrather than to deviate and viberate with various commentator'semphatic interpretations. Many points of contradictions havebeen dealt with logically and supporting authorities have beenquoted for the sake of authenticity and reliability.

Commentaries and views of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri ,Betala,,Pt Ram Yatna Ojha and Pt. Seeta Ram Jha have been givenweightageas they are upto the mark in understanding LaghuParasari. This trio is like Hindu trinity of gods as far ai ta[huParasari is concerned.

V

Parasari principles regarcling thc Dasa-Bhukti results have

been condensed in this work in iust 42 slokas. ln south hldia

these principles are studied as fataka Chandrika consisting of

urorrr-rh 80 siokas which were composed by Venkatesa Pandita.

Initial42 slokas of both the works are same. Laghu Parasari ends

here after enunciating the principles. The remaining 38 slokas

belong to |ataka chandrika only, telling about the auspicious

and iiauspicious planets for '1,2 Lagnas and some ge.eral

principles. Therefore we have adopted the name Laghu Parasari-

iataki Chandrika i.e., Moon light to nativity. Our this version

contains all slokas. The compiler of Laghu Parasari which is

studied exclusively in North India is anonymous'

We earnestly feel proud in presenting this work before our

readers withenlighteningcommentary. This will oPen new vistas

in the cliscriminating part of the brain of our esteemed readels,

particularly new entrants in the field of astrology' Though we

irave done our foremost endeavour to make the work as worthy

as possiblebut still someerrors mighthave crept inwhich would

.oi "r.up"

the critical eye of scholars and intelligent practitioners

of the ,ii"r.r.u of astrology. Healthy suggestions in this respe'ct

will be cordially accePted.

The publishers are worthy of appreciation for bringing the

work in print in excellent fashion. we suppose the readers will

appreciate this endeavour as they have done with other

' IntroductionMan has been curious to know his future since the dawn of

human civilisation and will be keen for the same in future also.

This is more due to his never satisfying nature with his present

conditioning. His hopes lie in astrology and in a broader sense

in the science of future which comprises of astrology, palmistry,

forehead reading etc. Vhrious methods are adopted in astrology

for anticipating the coming events but primary factors like

planets, hbuses and signs more or less remain the same with all

of them.

This work is primarily concerned with the characteristics

acquired by various planets due to their lordship of. various

houses. Most auspicious houses are the 1*, 5th and 9tr'houses

which form the vert ices of an equilateral tr iangle. Most

inauspicious houses are the 8th, 1l-th, 6th and 3'd houses in the

descending order.

Basically planets have inherent benefic and n'ralefic nature.

The words iuspicious and inauspicious have been used in this

commentary oi this work instead of benefic and malefic. The

former are ipecific here for good and bad characteristics of the

planets due io their house lordships. A natural malefic can be

auspicious or gives auspicious results during his Dasa or Bhukti

for teing the iord of an auspicious house. Like wise a natural

benefic ian be inauspicious during his Dasa-Bhukti simply by

owning an inauspicibus house. The results told for the planets

in thislext are different from the results of natal horoscopy. The

results of natal horoscopy are of permanent nature and occur

with more or less intensiiy through out life. The results described

here are of temporary nature and are limited to Dasa-Bhukti

10 Laghu parasari-Jataka Chandrika

periods only. Though results of Rajayoga combinations aresometimes evident through out life in some measures.

The lords of Trikonas are of the same element a.d thereforeare friendly to each other bestowing auspiciousness. Thus theyare considered auspicious in Dasa context. The lords of Kendrasform pairs of friendly and unfriendly planets. Though friends,still they are of opposite nature. Therefore they aie saicl tosuspend their inherent benefic or malefic nature in Dasa contextand behave as neutrals to form Yogas with Trikona lords.

Maharishi Parasara has said at length about various types ofDasas but the great Maharishi has himself concludea tnatVimsottari Dasa system is the best among all of them. ThoughAstottari, Yogini and Kalachakra Dasas are also used bv the rankand fileof astrologers; but vimsottari Dasa is widelyacceptedone. Maharishi Parasara says.

Ec+ ftvilrrfr iqr Eyn {qr ffif,r{!Vimsottari Dasa is supreme in Kaliyuga,

The zodiac is of 360o and every side of an equilateral triangleformed i' it sweeps 120o. There are 2z Naksairas in the zodiacand 9 Naksatras fall within 120o. This 120" corresponds to 120years of Vimsottari Dasa i.e., 6 years of the Sun; 10 years of theMoory 7 years of Mars; L8 years of Rahu; 16 yearJ of Jupiter;L9 years of Saturn; 17 years of Mercury; T year:s of Ketu ana ZOyears of Venus Dasa. 1o of zodiac stands for 1 year of Dasa. Someastrologers usually interpret 120 years as full longevity of humanbeing but it is a wrong inference. 120 years is just the total of theDasa years of nine planets. of course in them also fall MarakaDasas which usually end the life of an individual.

Vimsottari Dasa is one such scientific method to time goodand bad periods which is based on the principle of trine orTrikona (Triangle). It was practice among ancient Hindu writersnot to talk of the principles but more stress was laid onapplicability considering what is said to be divine.

The Sun is the central star of our planetary system. tf westart from the Sun, the orbits of various planets are as under :

Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika 11

Sury Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn'

If instead of thesun, we keep earthas the pivotal entity then

the orbital order will be:

Earth, Sun, Moory Mars, )upiter, Saturry Mercury and Venus'

Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets, though in

reality they are simply the intersection poinls gf-ihe.plths of

earth and lhe Moot. These two nodes have their fixed place in

the zodiac. Rahu is the point from where the Moon starts to her

northem course and Ketu is the point from where the Moon starts

to her southern course. Rahu and Ketu thus are the magnetic

points which have retrograde motion and arrive at the same point

uft"t "n"ty

L8 years. Solar and Lunar eclipses occur due to these

two nodei and after every 18 years almost similar ecliPses occur.

Due to uniformity of their moiion these are also the time rectifiers.

Rahu-Ketu pto.rid" important clue to demarcate the exact path

and location of the Moon. Due to this property, the ancients

included Rahu-Ketu in the Dasa scheme. For being northern

intersection point Rahu finds a place between Mars and Jupiterand being southern intersection point Ketu is placed between

Mercuryind Venus. The sequence of Dasas arrived at is :

Sury Moory Mars, Rahu, |upiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and

Venus.

Rahu finds a place after first three planets and Ketu after

next three planets i.e., Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury'

one interesting fact which supportsvimsottari Dasa system

of L20 years is, thit, after 120 years, the Sun and the Moon are

again on the same Naksatra and the lunar date is again t\e same

#it *ur 120 years back. In this way Vimsottari Dasa is Trikona

(trine) Dasa of lunar mansions. Whatever may F Naksatra of

iirth r2o years of Dasa end at the 9ft Naksatra from the birth

Naksatra.

For calculation purposes we start from Aswini Naksatra and

finish up at Aslesacovering 9 Naksatras. This is the first cycle

involving 120 years. The 2dcycle starts at Magha Naksatra and

finishes it lyurtu Naksatra. similarly the 3'd cycle starts at Moola

Naksatra and finishes at Revati Naksatra.

12 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika

The allotment of Dasa years to various planets is due to theirpractical visibility in the ecliptic. The planets are actually visiblein the sky in the same Naksatra or in trine to it again at the expiryof their Dasa years. For example if Mars is visible now in AswiniNaksatra then after 7 years, he will be visible again in Moola i.e.,exactly in trine to his basic position. Geometrically some of theplanets are at the same longitude while others are in trine to itafter the expiry of their alloted Dasa years. This is for theirpractical visibility. Thus we see that Dasa years are dependenton the practical visibility of the planet again at the same longitudeor in trine to the same or trinal Naksatra. This also supports thatVimsottari Dasa system is a Tiikona Naksatra Dasa system.

we worship a great effulgence - in the form of saraswati - one

final principle proilaimed in the Upanishaoas i.e., Parabrahman-

the dlity wio is the worthy consort of God Brahma - the Goddess

who is ied lipped and holds Veena in her hand'

Notes - It has been customary among authors of Sanskrit and

Astrological works to invoke the blessings of their family deity

or the d6ity ruling the subject under discussion. For, the blessings

will set aside obslacles and hindrances if any to be experienced

during the course and will help in lucid exposition of the subject

mattei. practically a subject like astrology cannot be put to

exposition without the blessirrgs of Goddess Saraswati-the

,uiing deity over wisdom and learning. If the predictions are to

come true, some amount of penance and austerity is very

essential on the part of astrologer so say Varaha Mihira and other

celebrities. fifqrqi qmrfd qTir'n'(, a man blessed with

Prayer-

14 Laghu parasaritlataka Chandrika

God Brahma is the originator of vedas and saraswati is theworthy consort of Brahma i.e., God Brahma gets strength fromGoddess saraswati. saraswati is the Goddess of all ieligiouswisdom and knowledge. veena is supposed to be the most perfectof all musical instruments which can resound ten erembntarymusical notes very easily and thus can encharm the wholluniversal phenomena. saraswati shoukl be merlitated upon asbeing red lipped and playing on Veena or lute. She is beauty parexcellence as is describecl in thc well known Dhyana Sloka.

qt qeEUqrrERq.|iHTqr vJu.r€rErdrqrffiqr vdacqrmrw@t*: vqr {fudrqI qr qr{ lrfFfifr lTrl?rfrFrvis lnrEcrr6nlIt is for this reason that great philosopher-saint Sri Adi

sankaracharya founded a temple of sri sarada (saraswati) atSringagiri, so that people can dispel theirAvidya (ignorance) byworshipping the great Goddess. Many of his Mutths (monastriei)too are knowrr as Sarada Mutths. According to Hindu philosophy,Brahman is the root cause of the universe. That alone is true,unchangeable, the cause of creation, protection and destruction.All goods are but manifestations of Brahman and is concrucredsuch by the great Upanishanr las. Godcless Saraswat i isworslrippecl here as a form of that Supreme Brahnran.

The subiect matter of the work-

qq qnryrfr dTrqgil qcfiqfirrrg<r+rro {cT dsfud jirnrr

Following the Hora Sastra of Maharishi Parasara, we to thebest of our knowledge prepare a work Ududayapradeepa forthe delight of astrologers.

Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 15

Notes - UdudayaPradeepa seems to be the name assignedto this text by the author of this work. Udu means star, Naksatraor constellation while Daya means Dasa or the period. Thus thename implies a lamp clarifying and enlightening the readers with

the principles of Ududasa system or Vimsottari Dasa system ofMaharishi Parasara. As the author followed the principles ofParasari Hora therefore this short work became famous asLaghu Parasari after the name of Maharishi Parasara.

There existed a vast literature on astrology in the form ofworks called Horas and Samhitas like-

1. Skanda Hora,2. Saunaka Hora,3. Brihat Prajapatya Hora,4. Manittha Hora, 5. Kaushika Hora,6. Satya Samhita, T. BrihatParasara Hora, 8. Garga Hora etc. The existence of these Florasis mentioned in the commentaries of Bhattotpala and othercommentators. Parasara Hora was held inhigh esteem in ancienttimes and some recensions of this Hora are available even today.

According to verse tR-d c{Rrfr Qdl Parasari Hora is furtheracclaimed to be suitable for prediction purposes in Kaliyuga.This is particularly true for Vimsottari Dasa system out of thevarious Dasa systems mentioned there in.

The author seems to elaborate Dasa principles exhaustivelyin the Slokas further to enhance the predictive skills of the readersand followers. And this small work has stood to the test truly inthis respect since its inception.

Importance of Naksatra Dasa-

qfr{ri{ qqrir Evn rrfltur @lqvn tdvtstrfr iarr urflr qrffi carll 3ll

We clescribe here how to know future trends following theNaksatra Dasa system. Through out this work principles relateto Vimsottari Dasa and not to Astottari Dasa.

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


Some Dasas are based upon stars (reckoning from birth star),examples being Vimsottari and Astottari Dasas. Some are basedupon the strength of planets, some on thc Rasis and so on. ThoughAstottari is also a kind of Naksatra Dasa, but the author cautionsus not to use the principles enunciatecl ltcre in context of AstottariDasa. Thus the rules set forth in this book ore'to be used only incontext of Vimsottari Dasa alone.

There are no ifs and buts for thc usc of Vimsottari Dasa whileAstottari, Sodashottari Dasa ctc. art ' t iet l by certain birthconditions viz; Astottari Dasa is to b,t'atlopted under followingplanetary configurations and conditiotrs.

(a) Rahu be in the 4tl', Stl', 7'h,9'h, or 10'r' placc from the Lagna lord.(b) Birth be in the day in dark half or irr tlrc night in bright half.

The full longevity of humarr bcing is cotrsiclcred 120 years asthe Sun and the Moon come to thc samc' position re'lative to eachother after 120 Nirayana years i.c'. the llindu datc (Tithi) is thesame again and the Naksatras of the Sutr atrrl the Moon are againthe same. Astottari Dasa is of 108 yei.lrs, Sotl.tsottari of 116 years,Dwadasottari of LL2 years and all thc:.,' lall sltort <tf 120 years,the supposed full longevity of huntan bt'ing. ln Vrgini Dasa thespan is of 36 years and the cycle starts again after every 36 years,which is absurd.

For the above reasons, Rajayogas, longevity, maturity yearsof planets, progeny, marriage, bad tinres arrd other life relatedevents match in a goocl propttrtion ttl the year allocations ofVimsottari Dasa while otltcr l)irsas arc disproportioned in thisrespect. Above all Vimsottirri D;rstr has been found to be near toperfection by the knowleclgcablc in astrology.

A note on the calculations of Vimsottari Dasa-

Divide the birth Naksatra by 9 counting from Kritt ikaNaksatra (excluding Abhijit Naksatra). The number as remaindersignifies, the Dasa falling at birth, in the following order-

Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu andVenus. In short we can take as.

S, M, Ma, Ra, Ju, Sa, Me, Ke, V.


For this sequence there is a reasoning which we have

discussed in introduction briefly. The first sequence in the table

below starts from Krittika Naksatra which is ruled by the Sun

and ends at Poorva Phalguni ruled by Venus, means, if the Moon

is in Krittika at birth, the Dasa at birth is of the sun. Following

table will illustrate

Example - Suppose the Moon is just entering Chitra Naksatraat birth, then the native will have a balance of 7 years of lvtrars'sDasa at birth. But such would not be the case always, if itoccupies, some intermediate degree then the balance of Dasahas to be calculated by the method of proportions. SuPpose theMoon has covered 3o-20' in Chitra Nakshatra, the balance of

Mars's Dasa atbirthwouldbe 5years and3 months. Theformulafor calculating Dasa balance is :

Dasa Balance =@ x Dasayrs. of Naksatralord.(13'-20)

Again, as an examPle, suPPose the Moon's longitude is 46o

at birth. Then she is in Rohini Nakshatra ruled by the Moon.Rohini extends from 40o to 53o-20o i.e. the Moon is yet to traverse7o-20'in Rohini.

Degrees yet to be traversed in Rohini = (53o-20' - 46")=70 -20' = M0'

But 13o-20'= 800'

.'. From the formula, the Moon's Dasa balance at birth

= #

x 10 years = 5 years, 5 months.

Calculations of Bhukti periodsSuppose we want the Bhukti Period of planet B in the Dasa

of planet A. The formula is :

18 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandriha

Bhukti Period of B = A's Dasa period x B's Dasa period120

In the example above in Moon's Dasa first Bhukti will be ofthe Moon.

.'. Moon'Bhukt' 1ox 1o 10I =-izd- =T Years= 0 years,10 months

i -0year ,7months.

Rahu's Bhuk" 1o x L8t i = f f= l yea r ,6mon ths

Jupiter's Bhukti = tt;Ju = 1yeaq,4 months

saturn's Bhukti = tHdtn ='!. year,7 months

and so on upto the Sun's Bhukti:Now for calculating the Bhukti at birth, the Moon has already

crossed (10 years - 5 year and 6 months) i.e. 4 years and 6 monthsremain as balance. The total of Bhuktis upto Jupiter's Bhuktiabove is 4 years and 3 months. This means that the native hasexperienced3 monthsof Saturn's Bhukti also intheMoon's Dasa.

In other words the native born is running the Dasa of theMoonwith a balance of 4 years and 6 months including a balanceof 1. year and 4 months of Saturn's Bhukti. Bhuktis yet to befollowed in the Moon's Dasa will be of Mercury, Ketu, Venusand the Sun to be calculated as above.

Similarly, Pratyantar Dasa can be calculated ih each Bhukti.For more elaboration on Dasa calculations readers may gothrough our "Secrets of Vimsottari Dasa".

The years and months calculated above are based on solaryear therefore it is necessary to adjust the Dasas and Bhuktiswith the dates of the solar year or in consonance with the Sun'sdegrees of birth. Phala Deepika (19/4) is very clear in thisrespect-

For this reason astrologers add degrees etc. of the birth Sunto the Dasa balances at birth to arrive at degrees of the Sun at theend of the Dasa or degrees of the Sun at the next Dasa or Bhukti'sbegirrning. English dates are almost equivalent to solar motionin this respect and Dasa commencing and ending may berepresented in English dates. Readers should avoid falling intocontroversy of 30-31 days but can do well by adjusting or writingthe English dates according to the Sun's degrees.

About General Know How-

E*qfdwq: q* tm, Tmlrewlrsfi:lqoetrurTfliur t'dr Etr frfrtkr:u arl

Followers of Parasari system can get proficiency regardingplanets and twelve houses from other works based on Parasarisystern. From here onwards we are going to depictnomenclatures, technical terms and principles which are peculiarto Naksatra Dasa system (Vimsottari Dasa system) according toParasara Hora Sastra.

Notes-The author by the wordgffi seems to declare thatthis work is not for new entrants in the field of astrology butsupposes that his readers have knowledge about houses, planets,signs and other details available in other standard works onastrology like Brihatfataka, Phala Deepika, Jataka Parijata andBrihat Parasara Hora Sasha etc. All these works are availablefrom 1\4/s Ranjan Publications. Some of the topics which are tobe learnt from these work are : 1. Houses and their significations,2. Nature of the signs, 3. Planets and their nature,4. Vargas likeNavamsa, Drekkana, Hora, Trimsamsa etc., 5. Chandra Yogas,6. Rajayogas, 7. Stri Jataka or Female Horoscopy, 8. Ayurdaya orlongevity etc. Some general indications of various houses are:

1. The 1't house represents physical body and strength,happiness and sorrows, contours, complexion, characteretc.

19

20 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika

2. The 2"d house represents face, speech, wealth andpossessions, right eye, Maraka effects etc.

3. The 3'd house represents courage, mental inclinations,coborns, short journeys, ear etc.

4. The 4ft house represents mother, happiness, conveyanges,house, landed properties etc.

5. The 5th house represents intel l igence, Atman andsubconcious motivation, children, merits etc.

6. The 5h house rePresents enemies, theft, debts, diseases, cutsand wounds, miseries, disappointment etc.

7. The 7ft house represents sPouse, marriage, trade, travel,blame, impediments, Maraka effects etc.

8. The 8ft house represents longevity, death and its cause,insult, sorrows, impediments, chronic illnesses, legacies,wills, goods of the dead etc.

9. The 9ft house indicates charities, goodliness, righteousness,preceptor, grand childrery religion, father, long journeys

etc.

L0. The L0th house indicates profession, rank, honour' success,means of livelihood, day to day activities etc.

11. The L1h house indicates gains, elder brother, friends, Soupassociates etc.

L2. The 12th house indicates expenditures, misery,loss, waste

etc.

Similarly, an astrologer should be well versed in the

knowledge of ownership of the signs, quadruplicity and triplicity

of signs, masculinity and feminity of signs, directions repesented

by the signs, Badhaka-sthanas for movable, fixed and common

sig.rt us the Lagna, Karkatwas of planets, planets as Karakas

of various houses, bad houses, planetary states like Deepta,

Mudita etc. The knowledge of Panchanga or ephemeris is very

essential.

The author wants his readers to use the above knowledge in

this work too, but the auspicious and inauspicious nature of

iffirtl


planets differ here from their natural benefic and malefic nature.A cruel planet in normal course may become an auspiciousin this work under certain conditions. Similarly, a cruel or maleficplanet's aspect may be for the good under the conditions.Here is where Dasa-Bhukti predictions differ from generalpredictions for a nativity. The cruelity and gentleness of theplanets will have to be decided according the principles laiddown in this work.

Man's character, family conditions, status, authority fallunder the domain of general prediction which by and largedepend on the natural characteristics of signs and planets andtheir relations among themselves and the peculiar conditionsmentioned above. A man has to struggle in this world to pregervehis rights and status, and to achieve something worth whilefurther. During the course, he finds opportunities, when heeffortlessly advances and other times inspite of his best efforts,he does not succeed in his endeavours and suffers set back. It isthis Dasa system which can guide a person, for which time isfavourable and which one is unfavourable. Astrologers havedevised many kinds of Dasa systems according to the best oftheir knowledge and wisdom, for one to be aware of conduciveand inconducive times ahead, out of them Udu dasa system or

. Vimsottari Dasa system is the best and applicable at all times.

The natal planets in a nativity bestow good or bad resultsaccording to their strength, placement and otherwise, which arethe permanent results for a nativity. The same planets by theirmotion in transits and in their Dasas depict the favourable andunfavourable times, the predictions can only be said to becomplete when we arrive at theresultant effects to be producedby the natal significations of planets and Dasa periods. For moreconvenience we can include the transit of planets also. Thereforethe author stresses here that while predicting by Vimsottari Dasasystem, the astrologer should also keep in mind Bhava or houseresults.

In Naksatra Dasa system or Vimsottari Dasa system planetsare termed auspicious or inauspicious or evil according to their


house or Bhava lordships e.g., in Vimsottari Dasa system the Ll.thlord is termed inauspicious but it does not mean that he willalways be bad for income. An exalted planet in the 11th house orits lord in exaltation produces a Yoga for much income but the11ft lord will not produce good results in his Dasa particularly orwill produce evil results, unless he is associated with the lord of atrine or Trikona house. In this way we have to proceed for Dasaresults. The Bhava or house results are the permanent resultsoccuring always, while the Dasa results are temporary and pertainto good or bad for the tirne being. Dasa results are indicative onlyof the conducive or irconducive times during the Dasa.

In Dasa system, it is only Rasis or signs which are vital andwe do not have to follow Chalit chart or Bhava chart. If Cancerrises at birth then Leo will be on the 2"d house, Virgo on the 3rdand Libra on the 4'h and so on.

Aspects of planets -

qwFil €Ri TA vmr+*5wr: $'t: Iffitrtrq ffiur E({wq3151;

All the planets aspect the 7th house counted from them.Saturn, Jupiter and Mars also have special aspects. Saturn aspectsthe 3d and L0'h houses also in addition to his 7h house aspect.

Jupiter aspects the 5s and th houses also in addition to his 7thhouse aspect. And Mars asPects the 4ft and 8'h houses also inaddition to his 7h house aspect from himself.

Notes - A planet gives results of the houses he owns/ occupiesas well as tesnlts of the house/houses he aspects. The aspect ofa planet has same intensity and value as is the occupation of a

house by that planet. About aspects Brihatlataka(2/13) opines:

All the planets cast a quarter glance at the 3d and 10h houses;half a glance at the 5th and 9th; three quarters of a glance atthe 4th and 8th; and a full glance at the 7th house from them.Saturn is e'xceedingly powerful when he casts his glances at the3"r ancl

-l0tr' houses. Jupiter is very auspicious in his glances atthe 5th and 9tr' houses. Mars is potent in his glances at the 4th and8th houses.

Now, what is special about the special aspects? Saturn is theplanet of labour and manual work. The 3'd being the houserepresenting courage, mental out look and arms which combinedwith manual work do produce something worth while. The L0this the house of profession and advancement in profession canbe achieved by persistant efforts and labour, the attribut0s ofSaturn.

Jupiter, the greatest fortune aspects the 5ft and the 9th houses.The Sth is the house of sub-consciousness and Poorvapunya i.e.force of previous good deeds; the 9th is the house which manifeststhrough the aid of father, preceptor and righteousness. Jupiter'sown placement indicates the area most potent in the chart. Thusa tripod of houses is formed which are most potent in the chartaccording to the inherent nature and strength of Jupiter for thatparticular horoscope.

Mars being the war lord or the lord of death has got full aspecton the 4th or the house of grave and the 8th or the house ofdeath.

In this work only full aspects including the special aspectsof Saturn, jupiter and Mars have been considered. No weightis given to partial aspects like one-fourth, half, three-fourthaspects.

The planetary results are greatly modified by the power ofaspects. In natal astrology the aspects of benefics, like Jupiter,Venus, strong Moon and Mercury (unassociated with malefics)produce good and enhance the good results of the houses overwhich they fall. They also tone down the evil nature of the malefic


planets aspected by them. Western astrological aspects are

different from Hindu aspects. The westerners find out the angle

between the aspecting and aspected planets or the angle between

the aspecting planet and the cusp of the house, receiving the

aspect. Major western asPects are :

1. Conjunction : When two planets are at the same longitude'

When two planets are 180o aPart.

11." two planct'":" jlt"

apart.

Equal declinatio"' trT;""ts fro.r', thecelestial equator, either north or south. Ithas the sarne effect as a conjunction has.

The orbs allowed for conjunction, square, opposition and

trine are 8o. For sextile 7o ancl for parallel 1o. Thus the influence

of a trine aspect will start when the angle is 120o - 8o=1'12o and

wil l .gradually increase t i l l i t is maximum at 120'. Then it

decreises till the effect is almost nil after 1'20o + 8o = 128o

In western astrology nature of the aspect depends uPon

the angle, usually multiples of 60o are good and multiples of 45o

are bad. In Hindu astrology nature of the asPect depends

upon the nature of planets in aspect. The aspects of a planet

has powerful influ-ences next only to his occupation and

combination and are extremely important in the judgement of a

horoscope.

In western astrology conjunction is good or bad according

to the inherent nature of the planets; square or 90o aspect is a

bad and deter iorat ing aspec| 180o or opposi t ion is a

complementary aspect, if followed well can be a good one;

pu.uil"l also works according to nature of the planets and trines

and sextiles are harmonious even between planets of opposite

nature and character. The two planets try to enhance each others

characteristics and significations.

Auspiciousness of Trikona lords and inauspiciousness of

Trishadaya lords-

rre ffi tril: Ygrtn'erurfl:lqrqF[rgr€r|ltf qR qrqqqnq:ttott

The lords of Tiikonas or trine houses produce good' But the

lords of the 3rd, 6th and lLth houses produce evil influences.

Notes-Which are the Tiikona houses? Actually, the 1't, Sth

and 9,h are the Trikona houses. For this we have the foll0wing

Slokas:

FFq-gffi frqq'{t fqtml:l

The L*,4\ 7h and 10ft houses are called Kendras or quadrants,

while houses 5,h and 9,h counted from the Lagna have the name

Tlikonas or trines.

Contrary to this, we haveffiun 3rft ffi dftrqdRfq: t

meaning 1st, 6'th and 9'h are the Trikona houses' But Saravali,jataka Parijata and many other commentators take only 5th and

9th houses as Tiikona houses. Jataka Parijata says Gril-( ffi"r

Pt. Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala', also known as Betala Sastri

was a great siholar of astrology and belonged to Kashi (Varanasi).

He says sr-l fudntul ct{....... drirzl u-aq q gqdt i.e. the Lagna is

not to be included in Trikona because Lagna in his opinion is

more auspicious. Sri Sastri at a later stage opinesq F {$I F*Il-dr

qrqftflqilsfr d€qq i.e. the lord of Lagna becomes auspicious

even if he owns the 8th house. Again at a later stage Sri Vinayaka

Sastri says that the Lagna is to be included under Trikona'

Pandit sita Ram Jha a commentator and great scholar of

astrology is of the opinion that the Lagna sho.uld be included in

Trikona. In his opinion in the 1"a1yse1dfif,frtul'idR: is used which

is plural denoting three or more. If the text would have meant

onlv for the 5th and 9tr,, then the word ffi woulcl have


been used as has been done under sloka 8 of the text aser{qFqffraTil, which is used for two as dual in Sanskrit in asense plural. Moreover the word t{stur means three angles andthe L't, 5'h and 9'h houses form three vertices of an equilateraltriangle. If only the 5th and 9s houses are to be included whyshould the word ffiq firikona) be used? So Pt. Sita Ram |hastrongly argues that the Lagna should invariably be includedunder the caption of firantq or trine. He further quotes why theseplaces are held auspicious :

f€r-qrdt Tt tffir Arisfr qrgdr{rqffiq srgd qrgr+ffi gr+irr

ilsrE dq'firq-*{ T6r: Trd {lqeqr:tlEven a bad person by being educated and doing meritorious

deeds or being involved in acts of philanthropy becomes a nobleperson. Education and philanthropy or Dharma being denotedby the 5'h and 9'h houses, unsurprisingly even malefic planetsowning these houses should turn out to be benefics. A man whokeeps his body under control is called a saint due to his virtues.The Lagna denotes the body, therefore the lord of Lagna isauspicious under all conditions. The 5th house is the house ofPoorvapunya or merits acquired due to deeds of one's previousbirth and the 9th house denotes Dharma or meritorious qualitiesacquired due to his father's or preceptor's initiation. So bybecoming lords of these three houses all the planets becomeauspicious and yield good results. Again :

Siltq{frcgTfrEtfrguqrfrqffiqtFrom the 5th house one should judge matters regarding one's

deity, Rajayogas, childrery wisdom and merits inherited fromprevious birth.

Now why are the lords of 3"i, 6'h and 11'h (Thi, Shada andAyaa houses) are terrned as evil producirig? The clue is given in

Lag h u Parasari -Jataka Ch and ri ka

the following verses by Pt. Sita Ram |ha.

If a person acquires income all the time or be excessivelystrong and valorous or be an enemy, then though he being anoble inherently, turns out to be an evil person. The lords of the

3nr,6rth and lLth houses denote above characteristics. Therefore itis natural for the lords of these houses to be endowed with thesecharacteristics though they may be natural benefics.

Sajjanaranjani-a commentary on Laghu Parasari gives few

excepfi,ons regarding the lords of the Jrd, (,th and LLth houses-

(i) If the lords of the Jrd, (,th and L1th houses occupy these veryhouses as owners respectivel/, they produce good. Weknow that the 3'd, 6'h, 10th and lLth houses areUpachayasthanas (or houses of income) and malefics alsodo some good natally when being placed in these houses.But as far as the Lagna is concerned, in relation to them,the evil nature of the planets might continue.

(ii) A planet is Swastha when occupies his own house or sign.Pliata Deepika ascribes good results in the Dasa of aSwastha planet.

It will be wise to weigh and consider the pros and cons ofthe rules and their exceptions before arriving at finalconclusion.

(iii) Virgo is termed as own sign of Rahu, and therefore if Virgofalls at the cusp of the Sth or 9th house, Rahu becomes abenefic being owner of a Trikona house.

These special points are, however not found in other classicsand therefore their acceptibility is open to doubt.

Every planet except the Sun and the Moon owns two signs;otr" e.ret and the other odd. Out of the twelve houses of ahoroscope, six are even and the remaing six are odd. The Trikonas


i.e. the 1st sth and 9'h houses are odd when the Lagna is an oddsign. If the Lagna is even, then even signs are identical to the 5thand 9th houses. Thus Tiikona lords can never be the 3'd and l.L,nhouse lords.

In the Sloka it (sR) word has been used in the context ofevils of Tiishadayadhisas i.e. the lords of the 3d, 6m and 1Lft housesthen the meaning of the Sloka would be"If. in a horoscope all theTrishadaya lords be evil then all the Tiikona lords be auspicious".qR word is not to be interpreted that way.

The correct interpretation of ?R word would be "The Trikonalord is auspicious but if he happens to be a Tiishadaya lord (6thlord) then such a Trikona lord is not fully auspicious but is ablemished auspicious planet". The auspiciousness of the Trikonalord lies in the fact that he should not be the 5th lord. A Trikonalord can never be the 3rd or llth lord has been discussed earlierhere. The auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the Trikona orTrishadaya lords here is only valid till they are not related toother house lords. \A/hat will be the results if these two are relatedto other house lords will be described in the chapter namedYogadhyaya.

Susloka Sataka a south Indian treatise based on LaghuParasari also confirms the above view in Sloka 14.

If the lord of a Trikona or a Kendra becomes the lord of 3'd,6th or 1l.th house at the same time, then according to Sage Parasarahe should be considered as having acquired the blemish.

Sri Vinayaka Sastri says that when the other sign of tikonalord falls in the 66 or 8'h houses, then they should be understoodin the following order.

A benefic Tiikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6mor 8th house at the same time should be treated as somewhatauspicious.

A malefic Trikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6th


or 8th house at the same time then he should be treated assomewhat inauspicious.

Characteristics of the Lords of Kendras-

q frvrFil W lulr *tqr: ffiqr: qRt

If benefics planets are the lords of Kendras (quadrants), theydo not yield good results. If malefic planets own Kendras, theydo not yield bad results.

Trikona lords i.e., the lords of the 1",5\ and 9e houses becomestronger increasingly. Tiishadaya lords i.e., the lords of the 3d,6th and L1th houses also observe or follow the same trend.

Notes-In the preceding sloka we studied the nature ofTiikona and Tiishadaya lords. Here the nature of the lords ofKendras is being told.

Natural malefics are the Sun, Saturn and Mars. Naturalbenefics are Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon. Benefics byowning quadrants do not yield good results. But it does not meanthey become inauspicious, rather they lose their beneficence andbehave as neutrals.

Similarly, natural malefics by owning quadrants or Kendras donot yield evil results. But it does not mean they become auspicious,rather they lose their maleficence and behave as neutrals.

The weak Moon and malefic associated Mercury are termedsimilar to malefics by some commentators' They term the strongMoon and Mercury (alone or combined with benefics) as beneficsand quote authorities like Brihat fataka in their support, It wouldnot be out of place to mention that the Moon is weak from the 8'hday of dark half or Krisna Paksa to the 76 day of the bright halfor Sukla Paksa.

Again, are we to include the tagna in Kendras or not ?Differences of opinion ponder over this. Earlier it was pointedout that Sri Vinayaka Sastri excludes the Lagna from Tiikonas atone place but at a later place he includes the Lagna in tikonas.


According to Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra dr{EqtFdfu+ci d;(€ilr frftrdl i.e., the name Kendra pertains to the 1"',4'h,7th andLO'h houses. Sri Vinayaka Sastri writes. *+qtt qEe*gqtTffri{rrtxq:r

i.e., the 4th,7th and l,0th houses stand for the word Kendra.

According to Pt. Sita Ram jha, earlierly the characteristics oftikonas were told, therefore the Lagna being included in thatscheme of planets, here we remain concerned with the 4th,7thand LOth houses as Kendra houses. He quotes further :

q-sr Td {q quq' trc' qrsfr atFnrlffi €qrq d A fr 116rr;rrpr{tr:tlm{r( n-ff}{l-di {tTI +q Err weqrsrqr: sHs-f, *q tqfldrd qfiqe{rr

One who is endowed with all kinds of comforts, kingdomand beautiful women forgets his own nature, for the mind beingengaged in these comforts. This is a common feature in thismaterial world. The above comforts are denoted by the 4th, 1g't'and 7th houses. It is therefore quite understandable and naturalfor the lords of these houses to forget their own inherent nature.

The part of the sloka suggests that the housesor house lords of the same character become stronger than theprevious one as they come later i.e., the L't, 4'n,7h and 10th housesand their lords become stronger in the ascending order. So doesthe 1."t, 5'h and 9th houses and their lords. So also the 3'd, 6th and1l.tr'houses and their lords become stronger in the ascendingorder. This is in respect of their qualities to do good or evil inDasa context.

Another important point of difference of opinion on the partof Pt. Vinayaka Sastri is thus-lf the lords of the 3'd,6'r'or lLthhouses are benefics, they will not lose their auspicious nature.He writes ttcntkt: {qHi ffi ggl-qrrd{rr€' r gfrrfq-dl

Further he says, the benefic lords of the 3'd, 6th and LLth aremore beneficial than benefics owning Kendras. dddrqk$grqrfr{i

1iMqfiw*tdvmr' Urdr sr*s(t t But the lords of the 5th and9'h are more beneficial than the Tiishadaya lords and the lords of


Kendras. Such interpretations are totally at variance with thoscof others and may present certain difficulties in the interpretationof Slokas relating the effects of the lords of houses for certainascendants. These are the areas whichrequire certain amount ofresearch and elaboration.

In the earlier Sloka to this we were told that a tishadayalord be'he a natural benefic or malefic works for the evil in Dasacontext and a planet becomes auspicious b! owning Trikonahouse. The author in this sloka tells about the way a lord ofKendra behaves. If natural benefics be Kendra lords then to giveauspicious results, they should also be lords of Tiikonas. So isalso the case when natural malefics become lords of quadrants.If Kendra or quadrant lords are to become evil, they should ownTrishadaya houses i.e., the 3'0, 6ft and 1lft houses additiorially.Auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of a planet is not caused just

due to ownership of a Kendra. The word ztR here implies thatno planet causes good or evil simply by owning a Kendra. The

12th sloka of the text denotes-Eqs s-ftild Tgffir {sr*rfc*ltffi @ q qtftrrqgd:lt ForKarka orCancerlagna,naturalmalefic Mars becomes the 10th lord and is supposed to beauspicious in Dasa context for not being a Kendra lord but dueto his lordship of the Sth house, a tikona. To show the inertnessof Kendra lord to do good or evil, the above Sloka has beenput in the text and confirms that a Kendra lord is neither forthe good nor for the evil.

The Lagna is the primary Tiikona as well as Kendra. It istherefore, the Lagna lord (a Kendra lord) becomes auspicious byowning Lagna as Trikona only. But if he also owns the 6s, aTrishadaya house, he produces evil. Mars owns Scorpio Lagna,his evil is less than Mars (the 6ft and 11s lord) of Gemini Lagnawhere he is twice evil. Evil of Scorpio Lagna's Mars is even lessthan Saturn (the 6th and 7th lord) of Leo Lagna, for Mars alsoowns a Trikona, the Lagna. The Lagna lord being lord of Kendraand Trikona becomes Rajayogakaraka or greatly auspicious.Mercury is Rajayogakaraka for Gemini and Virgo Lagnas. So is


)upiter for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas. The auspiciousness isbecause a Kendra lord also owns a Tiikona i.e., the Lagna.

The 4th, 7th and 1,0th houses are Kendra houses, the Sun andthe Moon ownining these become neutrals and becomeauspicious by owning the 4th Kendra, the Lagna only because itis also a Trikona. The 7'h house is the 3rd Kendra and accordingto the text it is a Maraka or death inflicting house and its lord iscalled a Maraka.Anaturalbenefic becominga Maraka by owningthe 7th house is not good. The 7th house being an odd house,therefore none of its lord can be a Trikona lord and hence its lordcannot be auspicious. The 7'h lord can only be 6'h lord(he cannot own the odd 3'd or Ll,th house) and hence he is evil.The 7th lord can also be the 8'h lord, then he is dreadful. The 7thlord Saturn can only be the 6th or 8h lord and no other 7s lord canown a Trishadaya or Tiikona house. Saturn is the only planetwho can become the 6th or 8'h lord being the 7th lord. Thereforeexcepting Saturn all the planets being lords of the 7th houseremain neutral. But as Marakas the benefics as the lords of the7th are inauspicious. It will be explained ahead.

For Scorpio Lagna Saturn is neutral being the 4th lord butresultantly inauspicious by owning the 3d house also. In contrastVenus is more malefic for Cancer Lagna as he owns the 4th and

L1h house and according to r-dcTt{dftdq Ll"th lord is more evil

than the 3rd lord. For Leo Lagna Saturn lording the 6th and 7this more evil than Venus who lords the 10th and 3rd houses. ForGemini Lagna Mars owning the 6th and Llth houses is deadlyevil. Similarly Mercury for Scorpio Lagna is twice evil if he does

not occupy the 8th house. The 8th lord in the 8th eradicates the

evils of the 8th lordship, it will be discussed later.

Saturn is more auspicious for Taurus Lagna than for LibraLagna as he lords the strongest Kendra, the L0th house and thestrongest Tiikona the 9'h house for Taurus Lagna; the 9th and 10thlord is stronger than the 4'h and 5'h lord. For Leo Lagna, Venusand Saturn both own Kendras and Trishadayas but Venus ownsthe 3"r house while Saturn owns the 6'h house besides both


owning Kendras. Due to ownership of Kendras both become

neutral but the 6'h house being more evil than the 3'd house,

therefore Saturn is more evil of the two. For Scorpio Lagna Saturnis more evil than Mars. The reason is that Mars though owning a

stronger Trishadaya is also the lord of a Tiikona (the Lagna) which

considerably reduces the evil of the 6'h house but Saturn is purely

a Trishadaya (the 3'd) lord and neutral being the 4th house lord.

An evil Ti'ikona lord is always less malefic than an evil Kendralord. For Cancer Lagna Jupiter is certainly less inauspicious thanVenus and Saturn. Similarly for Capricorn Lagna Mars is moreevil than Mercury.

Before arriving at the final judgement, the position of the

concerned planet i.e., debilitation, inimical or friendly houseplacement, exaltation etc. has to be seen. This is very importantas this book professes to teach the additional points peculiar to

Parasara system. As was pointed out *+r; qFil-;zrvn€Td:, the

principles of other works should be understood and must be

augmented by the principles propounded in this book. Astrologyis a vast ocean and a number of works have to be learnt for

acquiring proficiency, as Varaha Mihira says:

s[ifi-6t{?rdn; ffigP1-6]fi4q; I

wrd-av-{: |vgl.d qgrfd qril.o-*.

Also, the study of classical works must be supplemented bypatient research and experience. The grace of God andpreceptor's blessings essentially pave the way for making precisepredictions.

Numerical evaluation of the planets owing various houses-

This method was advocated by Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha theauthor of Phalit Vikas. Sri Ojha was a bold and erudite scholarof astrology, who bravely criticised even Varaha Mihira in hisPhalit Vikas for adopting the system of Yavana's divisional chartsprevalent now having set aside our own ancient system. He wasthe head of the department of astrology at Kashi HinduVishwavidyalaya. Here is the method :

The 2nd and 12s houses lords from the Lagna give resultsaccording to the nature of planets they are conjoined with oraccording to the houses they occupy or according to the natureof the houses identical with their other signs.

, Notes-So far we have discusssed the nature of the lords ofKendras and Tiikonas. The nature of the lords of the 2nd and12th houses is being discussed in this Sloka. These two housesare adjacent to the Lagna, 2nd is just after it and 12th immediatelypreceding it. The natures or characteristics of these two houselords are to be decided by their associations and the housesidentical with their other signs.

If the planets are placed in friendly signs, exaltations etcthey produce good. If they are in good planetary states likeDeepta or Mudita etc they produce good othewise bad. As issa id:

This is according to other texts on natal astrology notaccording to this text.

The 2nd and 12th lords inherently are neither evil norauspicious but are neutrals. Excepting the Sun and the Moon all

, planets happen to be the lords of two houses. Therefore the Sunonly trecomes the lord and the 2"d and L2m for Cancer and VirgoLagnas and the Moon becomes the lord of the 2"d and L2ft housesfor Gemini and Leo Lagnas. For not being the lords of otherhouses, the two luminaries will be considered neutrals and will


acquire good or evil according the nature of their associations or

thehouses they will occupy. If they will occupy auspicious houses

conjoined with auspicious planets they will be considered. extiemely auspicious but if they will occupy inauspicious or bad

houses with inauspicious planets they will be considered highly

inauspicious.

Panditsita RamJha also opines that the lords of the 2nd and

12th houses do not give results according to their inherent nature

but give results according to the houses occupied or house lords

conjoined with or house characteristics of their other signs.

He quotes -

Hrf{l' q qi es dETtfl qd v+(ttdqK qtrffi4vil qtYn sr6{4n:t

one who is wealthy, if befriends evil and crooked persons is

certain to drain away his wealth through their crafts. If he

befriends a gentle and noble person then he is helped in

multiplication and preservance of his wealth by that friend.

Similirly, the lords of the 2.d and he 12th houses give good or bad

results as determined by their associations with good or bad

planets or houses.

No characteristics develop in the lords of the ?d and 12h houses

due to ownership of these two houses rather they remain neutral

but they acquire the characteristics of the planets they conjoin or

the houses where their other signs fall. Three conditions develop :

(i) These two will give results according to the houses

occuPied.

(ii) Acquire the characteristics of the house lords conjoined.

(iii) Acquire the characteristics of the sign lords, they are posited

in.

If they occupy their ownhouses in the 2"d and 12h respectively

then thev are neutrals and do not prove so auspicious. If they


singly occupy a Kendra or associate with a malefic Kendra lordthen they are neutral.

For Cancer Lagna natives the 2nd lord Sun and L2th lordMercury if occupy a malefic sign in the L0th or 7h house and arerelatecl to the lords of these houses, they produce somewhatauspicious results. For this reason the Sun and Mercury'sconjunction is considered auspicious in the 7th or 10th house forCancer Lagna. For associations we can devise following facts :

(i) If the 2nd and L2th lords occupy Tiikona houses or conjuncttheir lords, they produce auspiciousness.

(ii) Very auspicious, if occupy the Lagna or associate its lord.

(iii) Somewhat or mildly auspicious, if occupy the 3'd, 6'h or LLth ina benefic sign or associate a benefic Trishadaya lord. Perhapsthis is because benefic Trishadaya lords are held mildlyauspicious in their own signs for being Upchaya lords.

(i") They are inauspicious in the 3t, 6'n or 1L'h in malefic signsor conjunct to the malefic lords of these houses.

(") If occupy Kendras or associate benefic Kendra lords thenthey are neutral again.

("i) If occupy a malefic sign in Kendra or associate a maleficKendra lord then they are not inauspicious.

The word FsTT;II-d{rltutiTI is interpreted in two ways :(i) according to nature of the house the planet happens to possess,(ii) according to the house in which the planet is placed.Following conditions develop for this word :

(i) If the 2nd and 12th lords are the Sun and the Moon their' results will be decided on the associations of planets and

I occupation of houses because they don't own any othersigns.

(ii) If the 2*i or L2th lord's other sign falls in the Lagna then he:' produces good.

(iii) If their other sign falls in the 3'd, 6'h or 11th house then if theyare benefics, the results are somewhat mildly auspicious butif they are malefics the results are inauspicious.

context.

The 2"d is a Maraka house and the 12th is the house for

aruir,ale of physical,""il b"i.,g. These characteristics are different

ito* tfi" gooa, bad or neutral nature mentioned here'

What we want to emphasise in the example is that jupiter

due to his association wilidefinitely be auspicious but being the


2nd lord jupiter is also a Maraka and will also produce death like

situations in his Dasa or Bhukti. Both the results wil l beexperienced by the native at the same time.

Similarly, for Taurus Lagna the 2nd and 5h lord Mercury is aMaraka and is auspicious due to his other house lordship or can

be more auspicious due to associations. For Virgo Lagna, Venusbeing the 2''d and 9th lord is auspicious but is endowed with

Maraka characteristics. Pandit Vinayaka Sastri writes :

" ....... gfi1uft1qyqq66frq {ffi a dIH: l

oppose each other, both can be experienced at the same time.

Readers will notice here, how minutely we have to considerthe planets before attempting judgements. The commentatorswere great men with vast erudition and learning and thereforetheir views are worth studying with respect and reverence. Theviews held above are of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri.

In the chapter ahead under "Yogadhaya" we shall studyabout great auspiciousness (Yogakarkatwa) arising from therelation of Kendra and Trikona lords. No other house lords exceptthese two give Karaka Phala or great auspicious results.

If the 2"d and L2th lords are also Trishadaya lords and beingrelated to Trikona lords, they cannot produce Karaka Phala.Karkatwa can only occur to those Trishadaya lords that beingKendra lords are related to Trikona lords.

For Gemini Lagna, the Moon happens to be only the 2nd lord.If the Moon is in the 2n't house unrelated to any planet then she issimply a Maraka. She will be a Marakesa in Maraka context whileshe wil be neutral otherwise. The Moory if becomes related withthe 5th lord Venus then she will be auspicious Marakesa or deathirrflicting planet but cannot be a Karaka'

For Cancer Lagna, Mercury the L2th lord also owns the 3'd

house, a Trishadaya if he relates with some auspicious planetthen hc cannot be a "Karaka" or greatly auspicious.


For Leo Lagna, the Moon and Mercury;for Virgo Lagna, theSun; for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas, Saturn; for CapricornLagna, Jupiter; for Aquarius Lagna again Jupiter cannot obtain"Karkatwa" the great auspiciousness because they are neitherKendra lords nor Tiikona lords.

For Thurus Lagna, if the 2n'r and 5th lord Mercury is related tothe 9th and 10th lord Saturn; for Virgo Lagna if the 2"d and 9'h lordVenus is related to the Lagna and 10tr' lord Mercury; for LibraLagna if the 2"d and 7'h lord Mars is related to the 4th and 5'h lordSaturn; for Scorpio Lagna if the 2^r ancl 5'h lorcl Jupiter is relatedto Saturn or the Sun; for Capricorn Lagner, if the Lagna and 2"'ilord Saturn self or related to Venus or the Moon or Mercury; forAquarius Lagna, if Saturn self or related to a Kerrdra or Trikonalord; for Pisces Lagna, if Mars is related to Jupiter or Mercurythen these 2nd and 12th lords can be Karakas.

For Capricorn and Aquarius Lagnas only the 2d and L2h lordbecomes the lord of Kendra as well as Trikona. According toprinciples of this text, Saturn a natural malefic is auspicious beingthe Lord of Lagna in his Dasa-Bhukti.

Rule about 8th lord-

qrr+qqrflrr*q r*hil n {r1qgt1€ q.[ vJjr+r;qnr dr{rffisfu +ffiq(il etl

The lord of the 8th house rules the 12th house as countedfrom the 9th house. Thus, he rules the loss of fortunes. Therefore,he does not yield good results. But if he is also the lord of Lagna,he is auspicious.

Notes-Out of all the houses of losses or expenses the lordof the house of loss of fortune i.e.,8th is most inauspicious. The8th is called house of death. Death occurs when bank balance ofgood fortunes is exhausted.

According to Pt. Sita Ram Jha the word wntrqilsfr is used

where eTfr is used because the 1st, 5th and 9th are auspicioushouse and out of these the l"st is weakest. Therefore when the8th lord becomes auspicious being the Lagna lord at the same


time then if he is the 5th or 9th lord he will be even more

auspicious. This implies that the 8th lord, if happe-ns to be the

lord of a Tiikona at the same time he is auspicious. If he happensto be Trishadaya lord at the same time then he is particularlyinauspicious. Ii he is not the lord of any other house then he is

simply inauspicious. It is due to this that the Sun and the Moon

are not supposed to be so inauspicious as the 8th lords.

Loss of fortune is sezerely painful as Kunti the mother of

Pandavas said in Mahabharatha.qrr€{ Fqie{r qI Ertcr q qtrsdql

Wa 5aF+fla qi {ffi T(fdl:ll

Our vast mythological literature and Puranas are full of

admiration of fortunes or Bhagya. The inauspiciousness of the

8th lord is because it causes loss of fortune e1 qpqqflfqqg nnd

the auspicious and inauspicious lords in this context are fixed

for losses for various houses i.e. due toqfqltTqcql Regarding the

evil nature of the 8th house there is a verse-

qpA Ee F{gq' *-r+el' qrE ffi s-fiq Fqcqrqrrqqrqrdqra-qr R nqr( ffi ssffi se{$ 5frd' I I

If fortune is strong, every kind of happiness is easily attained.If the luck is lost, everything is lost. It is for this reason that, thesages hold the lord of the 8th house to be extremely evil.

The extreme auspicious nature of the lord of Lagna is also

told thus:

Yfi{crq' €q $Td'qrffi wrK{krgt rrqFf, +$fil:l

F{r gddq vmrgs-*sz dq:q.ferd fq6rqq;11

Thebody is the meansbywhichDharma (duty, virtuous acts,merit) can be performed and thereby merit can be attained'Wealth and other kinds of happiness, which automatically flowin by following Dharma (righteousness)' One who takes goodcarsof his body, can hope to be happy always. It is for this reasonthat the lord of the Lagna is held to be extremely auspicious.

In the previous Slokas the author of the text described the

characteristics of the lords of Kendras, Tiikonas, Tiishadayas,


and 2d and L2tr'houses. Now what is special about the 8th lordthat a separate Sloka is inducted. It is like this, if the Randhreshaor 8th lord is also the Lagna lord and he be in the Lagna or the'Sthhouse

then only he is endowed with the property to bestowauspiciousness as he then strengthens these two houses. Thisalso suggests about the importance of the positioning of the 8'hlord. If he is positioned in atry other house than the L't or 8thhouse, then he is not auspicious but destroys the significationsof that house because the evil of be.ing the 8th lord is in muchgreater play than the auspiciousrress of Lagna lord (a weakTrikona) and this has been experiencecl practically.

Thus, if the same 1't ancl 8'r'lorcl being in the Lagna (Kendra-Trikona) or 8s house be related to a Trikona lord, then he can begreatly auspicious (Karaka) otherwise he singly placed isauspicious only. If the 8th lorcl being also a Trishadaya lord berelated to a Trikona lord elsewhere than tl-re 8th house, he and theTiikona lords both cannot be Yoga productive or cannot bestowauspiciousness. The 8tr'lord, if he is not in the 8th is certainly evil.

For Gemini Lagna, Saturn being the 9'h lord also becomesthe 8tr'lord, therefore he gets endowed with property of loss ofBhagya or fortune, if he is related to the 10m lord Jupiter he cannotbe a Karaka. In the next sloka there is a corollary to this Slokaqr€tyrd *cq qfqqqdfi(-The Sun and the Moon remain freeof the blemish of being the 8th lord and it does not mean theybecome auspicious, they can only be auspicious if they are intheir own signs in the 8'h house and this is only possible forSagittarius and Capricorn Lagnas.

Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha observed that many natives sufferloss of fortunes in the Dasas of the Sun and the Moon as 8th lorcls.Maraka or discordance are also the results, therefore he does notgive his acceptance to the rule that the Sun and the Moon remainfree of the blemish of being the 8th lorcl. A little blemish is alwaysthere and they should not. and never be considered auspicious.The only exceptions are the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Venus whenLeo, Cancer, Scorpio and Taurus respectively are identical withthe 8th house. He further says that tlre 8th lord also as the Trikonalord is auspicious when posited in the 8th house.


Pandit Vinayaka Sastri also considers a little blemish to the

sun and the Moon as 8th lords. He also assigns a little blemish

to the Lagna lorcl for being the 6th lord. Similarly the Sun and

the Mooriacquire a little biemish being the Trishadaya lords.

Rules for KendradhiPatYa Dosha-

The Kendradhipatya Dosha-the evil or blemish arising out

of the rulership of Kenclra houses is very strong in the case of

Jupiter and venus for being natural benefics. This eyil is'more

i.o.,orrr.,."d if they occupy Maraka houses being lord of Kendras

br be in own sign in a Maraka house. This evil in respect of

Mercury is less than that of Jupiter andVenus. The evil in respect

of the Moon is still less than tl-rat of Mercury. But they all have

this blemish common to them though of varying intensity'

Notes-previouslyitwasstated;i ffid Ul fqr q\qr: d6lftTqr

fr i.e., the natural benefics do not do good by owning Kendra

houses or theY act as neutrals.

How a natural benefic owning a Kendra acts when his other

sign falls in a house other than Kendra has been discussed under

Sti1.u 6-7. Now the question arises if both the signs of a planet

fall in Kendras what will be the results. This situation arises for

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas' If -the benefics

owning thes-e signi go neutral then the native will be bereft of

their b-eneficence in"iheir Dasa. Four natural benefics are also

callecl fortunes, of them Jupiter is the greatest fortune. when

fortunes become neutral it is bad for the native. These fortunes

by becoming neutral remain inert in their Dasas. Thus natural

blncfics by fecoming neutral in their Dasas deplete the potential

of thc l'roroscope for the time being., fuPiter ancl venus are natural benefics while Mercury and

thc Moon are conditional natural benefics. To join the class of


benefics, Mercury should be free from malefic associations andthe Moon should be with bright rays, which she is from the 8thday of the bright half to the 7th day of the dark half, then onlyboth become benefics otherwise remain malefics.

This evil quality-the Kendradhipatya Dosha-is in thedescerrding magnitude in respcct of JupiteX, Venus, Mercury andthe Moon i.e., the evil quality is not equal in the case of allthe benefics but varies clirectly to their inherent benefic nature.Jupiter and Venus being very powLrrful benefics, thereforethe Kendradhipatya Dosha is much pronounced in their case.Mercury and the Moon arc feeblc' benefics therefore theKendradhipatya Dosha gets proportionatly reduced in theircase.

Again there is gradation among the quadrant houses. Thel"', 4"', 7th and LOth are considered to posscss strength in theascending order according to rdf,Rqtfltflql So borrefics owningthe 1st house are less evil than those owning the 4th house. Thebenefic owing the LOth house is worst evi l in respect ofKendradhipatya Dosha.

The 2nd and 7th houses are termed as Marakasthanas i.e., deathinflicting houses in a horoscope. If Jupiter and Venus ownKendras, the Kendradhipatya Dosha is profuse in their caseparticularly when they own a Marakasthana and also occupy it.The evil arising thus is impossible to eradicate. What do theMaraka planets cause ?

{r-ftfi'f {fff ; dcr srf{ fiffi61;gilffnRi fqqt tq sqrfq {rnFr:rl

If the Marakas are powerful, in their Dasas and Bhuktisor Antardasas they can cause various kinds of miseries. Orlythe Marakas that are very powerful .i.rr cause death in th-irDasas.

It is clear that the 7tr'house is a Maraka house, also a Kenclraand odd one in sequence of houses. The Trikonas are also oddhouses. Therefore no Trikona lord can subsequently be the ,7th lord. So the 7tr'lord cannot be termed as auspicious. Ttris is


what has been stressed in this text' Thus, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury

and the Moon being Kendra lords having become neutrals, if

also become Markesas then they cannot be auspicious. This rule

does not apply to the sun, Mars and saturn. These malefics do

not acquire the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha therefore being

the 7th lord donot become severe Markesa.

For Aries Lagna Venus is a strong Maraka, if in the 7th, as he

owns two Marala houses one being a Kendra, the 7ft house'

In case of Gemini Lagna,Jupiter owns the 7'h and LOth houses

therefore a first rate Maiakesa particularly if he occupies the 7th

house. similar is the case of Mercury for sagittarius and Pisces

Lagnas.

None of the malefics i.e., the Sun, Mars and Satut'n can

own two K?ndras besides being the 7th lord. Blemish of

Kendradhipatya does not occur to the malefics, so potential of

the horoscope does not deplete, if they become neutral'

Whatever blemish ]upiter or Mercury acquire for being the

7ft lord a Kendra as well as Marakasthana is that Jupiter and

Mercury can provide benefic results by being in the 7th house

due to the concept of Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas but the severe

blemish of Maraka also accompanies. If Jupiter and Mercury

occupy other Kendras in own signs than the 7th house then

Kendradhipatya Dosha do not occur to them so severely'

Venus being the 7th lord can also own the 2nd and l-2'h houses

for Aries and scorpio Lagnas. If he occupies the 7ft then he is a

severe Maraka being also the Karaka or significator of the 7h

house. Similar is not the case for Mars for Taurus and Libra

Lagnas.

If the 7th lord as Kendra lord posited in the 7th is related to a

Trikona lord then such 7th lord is endowed with Yogakaraka

qualities i.e., he is extremely auspicious in his Dasa. But in Maraka

cbntext he is direly a Markesa or death inflicting. (see the sloka).

qrn* f6 {q+rrs q+qn*, gkgt

Yqqfr ilrGrEI' src{il ffiur:tt

46 Laghu Pansari-Jataka Chandrika

If the 7th and Trikona lords are related then in Trikona lord'sDasa and 7th lord's Bhukti Rajayoga or greatly auspiciousresultsare experienced but in the end one has to experience Marakaresults also. For example, if for an Aries Lagna native the 2"d and7h lord Venus is related to Jupiter the th and 12h lord then in theend of Venus's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa there will be Marakaresults. Venus is double Marakesa here.

The last part of the Sloka 11 tells that the blemish of beingthe 8th lord does not imply to the Sun and the Moon. Much hasbeen said about this under the notes on Sloka 9.

Generalising the discussion on Sloka 10-1L we can concludethus-

(i) If the benefics owning Kendras are in their own signs, inKendras they bestow auspicious results.

(ii) If the benefics owning Kendras are also Maraka-sthanalords and occupy Maraka-sthanas they give intense Marakaresults.

(iit) If the benefics owning Kendras are in auspicious housesi.e,, the L"t, the 5ft or 9s and are related to their lords, then

. they are Yoga producing and bestow great auspiciousness.alongwith some Maraka results.

(i") If Kendra lords are in inauspicious houses then they giveinauspicious results.

(v) If the benefic 7h lord (Kendradhipati) is related to a Trikonalord he bestows Yoga or auspicious results in the beginningof hisBhukti orAntardasa but in the end gives Maraka results.

Some say that benefics by owning quadrants becomePapa or evil. If benefics would have been defective or evil byowning any of the Kendras then how the Lagna lord wouldhave bestowed good resul ts even by owning the mostinauspicious 8h house. Then all the exercise done above wouldhave been a waste. Therefore the logical interpretation is thatbenefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon become severeMarakas by owning the 7th house (a Kendra) and their intensityto bestow Maraka results is in the descending order i.e., Jupiter

iLaghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika 47

owes the greatest Maraka blemish and the Moon the least. This is

particular'iy so when they occupy their own signs in the 7s house.

On Yogakarakatwa of Planets-

{q{4 gJTfirRrrl

f f i f f i r : l l 12l l

Mars (a malefic) does not give auspicious results simply by

owning the LOth house (a Kendra). Being a Kendra lord he

becomes neutral. If he becomes a Tiikona lord at the same time,

only then he is capable of bestowing auspiciousness.

Notes-PreviouslY it was said :

a fflf< ffi{qt qRt

qtT{-+dqsl da rqemffi+cttl

Natural malefics as lords of the Kendras will not produce

evil. By that are we to infer that they will produce good results?

No, says the author, illustrating this by way of an example.

Mars owns the 10th house in cases of Cancer and Aquarius

Lagnas. In the case of Cancer lagna, he additionally owns the 5th

house, a Tiikona. Therefore he is declared extremely auspicious

as Rajayogakaraka. Again it is said:

ffi{ qrq-{ {q€' sfrcTF{tr(lrdse l6fqwdq cTc (s Ydftrd:lln*e q,4qdt5ft $qqqr+T€qls"lqCvrqmql iqfHqqE-diq-tn' : | |**{|-d1 qHra clq€'tq 'T{cfrt

ffi ffiffidc {,r€ Ts fte{|l

Malefics owning Kendras become auspicious only upto theextent that they forget their malefic nature but if they acquirethe lordships of Trikonas additionally then they are capable ofgreat auspiciousness.

Thus in the example above the auspicious nature of Mars isnot duc to lordship of the 10th house but is due to lordship of the5th house, an auspicious house.

48 ;'Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika

But in case of Aquarius Lagna Mars being the 10th lordadditionally owns the 3d house, a Trishadaya or evil house andis inauspicious or evil according to the rule'Tdq|iavsr+rlf qR

YItItFtIlKt:ll So, for Aquarius Lagna Mars is declared evil :

frqqaqw: crct qsl *elgo: {q: i.e., Jupiter, Moon and Mars areevil for Aquarius Lagna, only Venus is auspicious.

And for Cancer Lagna it is said :

crFi+€gd wff rlgdrQ{d Edrqs' F T6: TIIQII-( lgd drrmnm: rr

Venus and Mercury are evil; Mars andlupiter are auspiciousand only Mars is the planet that becomesYogakaraka for CancerLagna.

Pandit Vinayaka Sastri, also rightly says :

E-qT( s*d e ffiq€epqrBy Mars, we are to take the malefics in general, and by

*C 1t0tn house) we are to take Kendras in general.

In natal astrology or general predictions all the cruel Kendralords bestow evil results while all the benefic Kendra lordsbestow good results. But according to this text only the Tiikonalords are auspicious and all the Trishadaya lords are inauspiciouspart icularly in Dasa context. According to the rule :dqffi{qffi zfrq-*-lr*]tt i.e. a planet becomes Yogakarakaby owning a Kendra as well as a Trikona.

In astrology generally the Moon being a Kendra lord is amild benefic while the Sun is cruel. But according to this textboth are neutral but can bestow auspiciousness, if get related toa Tiikona lord.

The Lagna is a Trikona, because ft = three ut14 etu = anglei.e., three angles form a Trikona. It is due to this that Lagna isa Trikona and that Mercury for Gemini and Virgo Lagnasand Jupiter for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas are auspicious.In these Lagnas Jupiter and Mercury are neutral but Markesas


also for being the 7th-10th and 4h-7h lords and give inauspiciousresults additionally as Marakesas. The Lagna is so auspiciousthat even direly evil 8th lord becomes somewhat auspiciousby co-owning it and that too in his own house in the Lagna or 8mhouse.

Example - The chart hereunder is of Gemini Lagna.The chart has potential as the three vital factors are strongi.e., the Sun is in the LOft, the Moon is in own house in the 2"d andthe Lagna lord Mercury is in the 9ft, a Trikona. The native isan industrialist. He earned a lot of wealth in the Sun s Dasa. TheSun is though a Tiishadaya lord but has been considerablymended by jupiter in own house. Here the Maraka characteristicof Jupiter is not prominent as he is in his own house in the10th which indicates that he is auspicious. The Moon's Dasa

In Mars Dasa he shifted his industry to a differentfar off place. He is likely to rise now as Mars though a Tiishadayalord is in his own house and gets the thurst from Venus, a Tiikonalord and,saturn again a Trikona lord but also the 8th lord. Soin Mars Dasa he will succeed and progress further after manyobstacles.

Characteristics of Rahu and Ketu-

€qxrq.r*arfrarqrdmfgftrTtrdFdrfr r*dr uRfra; 66qit,,'1 t,,

The dark planets, Rahu and Ketu strongly give the results ofthe houses they occupy or the houses owned by the planetsconjunct with them.

Notes-The shadowy planets (i.e., the nodes), Rahu and Ketudo not own any sign independently, they are indeed very strongand should not be ignored thoughVaraha Mihira and afew otherAcharyas have not given their results in detail. Natally theirresults can be understood from texts like Parasara HorE JatakaPariiata, Phala Deepika etc. For results of their Dasas accordingto this text this separate Sloka is inducted.

Thehouses occupied byRahu and Ketu shouldbeascertainedfirst as auspicious or inauspicious. Rahu and Ketu will actaccording to this quality of the house, if they solitarily occupy it.Inan auspicious house they will produce auspicious results whilein an inauspicious, the contrary.They will be neutral in the 2nd,12rh, 4h,7th and 10s houses. In the lst sth and 96 they will beauspicious. In the 8ft they will be extremely evil. In the 3'd, 6ftand 11ft they will be inauspicious. These will be the results ifthey alone are present in these houses.

Rahu and Ketu also give the results of the planet they areconjoined to. First ly ascertain the auspiciousness andinauspiciousness of the planet due to his ownership' They willbestow results according to this characteristic of the planet.

The reason behind is :

ffi: rdnlfq{f(dlferetqrqr€ d e e v,ei i {$rdd:l I

They are termed yqd or strong because they are capable of

eclipsing even the visible gods like the Sun and the Moon. Theydo not hlve their own results as they do not have their orbs dueto non illumination, rather much depends uPon the house theyoccupy. They are the points of intersection of the Moon's track


with the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Sun). Thus they arethe megnetic points capable of attracting the results of the houseoccupied by them and the planet conjunct to them.

One more fact that is worth noting and has been experiencedin practice is that Rahu-Ketu also give to some extent results ofthe planets aspecting them. The a.rthor of the text seems to haveincluded it in the conjunction.

Example - In the chart below the Lagna is Taurus, Rahu is inthe 9n house in Saturn's sign. It is conjunct to the Sun and Mercury

and is aspected by Saturn. Accordingly Rahu will be auspiciousinits Dasa andwill pronouncedly giveresultsof theSun, Mercuryand Saturn. The results will be like a Rajayogakaraka planet's.

Auspicious Combinations of Planets -

The relation between the lords of Kendras and Trikonas isknown as Yoga. Yoga means mutual relation for excess ofauspicious results. If related Kendra and Trikona lords areunrelated to any inauspicious lord and they themselves do notown inauspicious house then auspicious results are manifold.

Notes-This chapter is named Yogadhyaya and deals withspecial combinations of planets capable of producing extremelyauspicious results. Such chapters are common features withalmost every text book on Hindu astrology and there the Yogasgo by special names as Nabhasa Yogas, Rajayogas, PanchaMahapurusha Yogas etc.

But the treatment of Yogas in this text is a special feature ofParasara system. And such a treatment is not to be met with inother text books.

The strong Lagna, Lagna lord, the Moon, the Moonsign lord,the Sun and the Sun sign lord add to the potential of a horoscopeand the native will have auspicious times ahead in his life. If atthe same time some of the Kendra and Trikona lords are alsorelated then the native will certainly be long lived, acquire status,

wealth, fortunes and comforts of all sorts. If a single planet occurs

to be the lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona then he bestows

greatly auspicious results in his Dasa. In manyof the fortunate

iurror,', charts usually the KendraandTrikona lords get related

io the Lagna or the Mbon sign lords. If inauspicious house lord

also joi is the combination then auspicious results are

considerably hamPered.

Four pronged relations amongst the planets

Four kinds of realtions are accepted in this system they are:

It was said earlierpeculiar way as theY

that lords of the Kendras behave in aforget their own nature. The results


produced by them greatly depend upon the planets with whomthey are combined.

In the chart above Saturn forgets his malefic nature beingthe 1"0th lord but remembers that he is to do good as a Trikonalord and his association with another Trikona lord Mercuryfurther enhances his functional auspiciousness.

2. To be in mutual exchange of houses ( de qqq )- Herethe Sun and the Moon as lords of the 4th and 5th haveexchanged houses.

This is also called q{gR T{TFI Wq or mutual exchange of

4. The planets being in mutual aspects ( Efu TIcr;eT )-HereMars and Jupiter mutually aspect each other. The Lagna lordMars and the 9th lord Jupiter are in mutual aspects.

In these relationships mutual exchange of houses is the mostpowerful, next is mutual aspects but one of them must be inown house, then aspect by dispositor and the least powerful isoccupation of the same house.

if tne above relationships are absent then the planets inmutual Kendras and Tiikonas may be supposed to be related.

About Kendra lords it is said-

The lords of spouse, status and comforts off-sight theirinherent nature and give auspicious results in combination withauspicious planets i.e. the 1st 5th and 9ft lords.

The word Edwmvft in the Sloka has been used for suchKendra and Trikona lords, whose other signs do not fall inthe Trishadaya and 8h houses and are not conjunct with theselords.

, Ithas already beentold that the Lagna lord is most auspicious

and the 8th lord is deadly evil. The 2nd and 12ft house lords are

neutrals. The Kendra lords are always neutral and Trikona lords

always auspicious. The malefic Trishadaya lords are inauspicious

while the benefic Tiishadaya lords are very feebly auspicious in

their own houses.

Example-In the chart hereunder the 4ft and th lord venus

venus-will be very auspicious in his Dasa. The 7th lord sun is

aspected by his disposiior and the Lagna lord Saturn and there

wiitUe happiness fromwife intheSun's Dasa. The LOhlord Mars

will give teneficence from the government in his Dasa as he is

in yo"gakaraka Venus's sign andis in mutual exchange of aspects

with the Lagna lord Saturn.

TheSlokaunderdiscussiondoesnotseektheKendraandTr i kona lo rds tobeT r i shadaya lo rdso the rw i se theauspiciousness of the Yoga is deteriorated'

In other words, if a Kendra lord as a Trisadaya lord though

blemished one but still confers auspicious results for hing related

with a Trikona lord.

Now a question arises about the intensity and s-trength of

the Yoga iniarious houses. tf the Yoga occurs in a-Kendra or

Trikona then it is best, it is good in niutral houses like the 2d


and 12h, it is fair in Trishadaya houses and feebly fair in the8th house.

Example -In the chart of Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru the Moon,

Jupiter and Mars are Trikona lords and the Moory Venus, Saturn

and Mars are Kendra lords. The L0'h and 5'h lord Mars, aRajayogakaraka is in the 3d house in an auspicious sign thereforeMars's capabil i ty is not diminished very much. The9th lord Jupiter and Mars are in Kendra to each other. The 7th lordSaturn is aspected by the 9th lord Jupiter from his own housecausing a blemished Yoga.

Example-In the chart of Mrs Indra Gandhi the Lagna (theKendra and Trikona) lord Moon is in house exchange with the7th lord Saturn who is also the evil8'h lord.

saturn is a Kendra lord with evils of Maraka planet. The

The house exchange of Jupiter and venus is fair though

formed in Trishadaya houses but in benefic signs'

The Yogakaraka Mars in a fiery sign and in house exchange

with the Sin made her bold and deiermined individual with

Sleat vitality.

Unblemished as desired in the Sloka are difficult to find but

they are par excellence where they are found in Kendras and

Trikonas.

It iseasytoestimatethepotentialofYogabetween.thetwoplanets but"when more than two planets are involved then it

lvaluated with preponderance of their results in their Dasa-gh"kii and the g'd, +fi etc. related planet will have to be evaluated

rules laid do*n in this text. In the Dasa chapter of this text only

Results of blemished Kendra and Trikona lords-

*qffi@Eq(lT$sttTr{T{qffi rr*at ffi tlt s r r

The lords of Kendras and Trikonas, even if blemished,

become strong by mutual relationship to produce auspicious

results or become Yogakarakas.

Notes -The origin of Yoga lies in the relationship-of Kendra

andTiikona lords. Vogan"r";eans auspiciousness.If one of the


blemished Kendra or Trikona lord or another evil lord

enter into the combination then it is blemish to the Yoga or

combination and the auspiciousness is diminished. Complete

Yoga results are possible only from the unblemished Kendra and

Trikona lords.

Pt. Sita Ram Jha says thatTIaFQIfiT.( suggests that relations

are of various types but relatiqn with an evil lord spoils the

combination. Here qlq should be taken as enemy sigrU debiltation,

combustion etc. Because a planet is weak in such states therefore

the word em (strong) is used. The logical reasoning is-

qidsfr qt f{dq 1 Td ftrer*rco:tdq' qrqFrd{tg tqgqr rilqisfrw{ttTsr( ; qrq-*|a ctwqlqsdlwsqT'fu rl6dfa gqqll

An envious learned is better than stupid well wisher' A

learned will surely conceal the weaknesses before the known

and relations and will try to behave in a dignified manner. Similarly

the lords of Kendras and Trikonas, because of their relationships,

will not do the harm arising out of their blemishes or defects.

According to Sloka 4 of this text the definition and

significations irentioned in other texts are adopted here also but

th"e auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of this text are not the

,urr," ui the beneficence and maleficence mentioned there. The

cruel planets of ottrer texts become auspicious here under certain

condiiions. Therefore natal astrology and directional astrology

do not work at a common platform. The good and evil of planets

will have to be understood in the light of rules of this text as

discussed under Preliminaries in chapter 1. Inauspicious planets

ancl houses have been discussed in slokas 5 to 9. The blemishes

and goodnesses acquired by the planets are-

1. All the Tiikona lords are auspicious.

2. All benefic Kendra lords do not produce good'

3. All malefic Kendra lords do not produce evil'

4. All Tiishadaya lords are evil or inauspicious'


9. The 8th lord is deadly evil.

10. The 2"d and L2th lords are neutral and behave according totheir conjunctions with other ltouse lords and dispositionsor placements in auspicious ancl inauspicious houses.

Sloka 14 says that the Kendra and Trikona lords whose othersigns do not fall in houses other than these two, if are mutuallyrelated then such a combinatiorr is auspicious par excellence.

Sloka 15 says that tRfr strotrgcst Kcndra lord (10'h lord) andqd strongest Trikona lord though blernished if are mutuallyrelated produce auspicious restults. lJlcmished here means, alsolords of inauspicious houses.

The Yoga under Sloka 14 is auspicious par excellence while

under sloka 15 is simply auspicious. The word5{'vgmrefr €cq

of this sloka is in place of {attnr*m$( of provious sloka gq

tsgfi suggests the Kendra and Trikorra lords who have theirother signs in inauspicious houses; thcy bccomc blemished due

to such lordships not due to qfqr glFqfd: i.e. association due to

other evil or inauspicious lorcls. {dt(llFffl simply means thosewho do not have their other sign in housc's othcr than Kendrasand Tiikonas.

In Sloka 14 the text also includes those' Kendra and Trikonalords in unblemished lords wlro lrave tl'reir other signs falling inthe 2"d and L2th houses becausc thcy give their results accorciingto the planet conjunct with thenr or to the houses of their othersigns.

For Aries Lagna Jupiter beirrg thc 9rh lord is auspicious butbeing 12'r'lord, in conjunction or relation with Saturn the l'0thand L1th lord, l're will be blemished. Here Saturn is blemishedbeing the LLth lord. The combination will give proportionatelyless auspicious results. One thing that is worth noting is that forall the Lagnas only one planet either thc 1.0'h lord or the 9'h lordshould be blemished. Both blemished cannot produce Yoga.

One peculiarity of this Sloka is that out of the th and LOthlords the blemish of one is mended or tempered by the other

'r,::i


and the Yoga for auspiciousness is given to arise. The word emcan be used here with advantage i.e. the planets involved in theYoga should not be debilitated, in enemy sign and combust etc;should be endowed with positional strengttr, directional strengttr,six fold strength etc. and should be auspiciously aspected.

'. Brihat Parasara Hora Sasha says tfffi +q *tr![-{. No planet canproduce auspiciousness simply by ownership and relationshipunless he has inherent strength. As is said :

In Gemini Lagna chart the 10th lord ]upiter gets blemishedas the 7m lord. The 9'h lord Saturn is blemished being the 8th lord.Therefore combination of the two cannot produce Yoga as bothare blemished.

In Leo Lagna chart, the Sth lord Jupiter is blemished beingthe 8*h lord. Mars the 4s lord being the 9'h lord eradicates the evilof Jupiter, if the two planets are related.

In an Aries Lagna chart the 9'h and 12h lord Jupiter is notblemished but being associated with the 1lft lord Saturn, Jupiteras L2h lord becomes blemished. Therefore the combination ofSaturn and Jupiter does not yield auspicious results.

In Gemini Lagna chart the 9th lord Saturn is blemished beingthe 8th lord therefore his combination or relation with the 10ftlord Jupiter is not auspicious as fupiter is also the 7h lord aMaraka blemished with Kendradhipatya Dosha.

Example-In the Scorpio Lagna chart here, the 9n and 106lords, the Moon and the Sun are related by aspectual relationthough this is a weak Yoga for the houses involved but due to

some commentators have been rigid on the language of sloka

and say that it should particularly be among the 9m and 10'h lords.

Different people have sung in different tunes. But the essence of

the wordi qd and q;-C lies in the 9'h and ].0h houses and their

lords. It is better for the readers to avoid any controversy and

stick to the essence. We put before our readers a few facts to the

best of our knowledge.

In this sloka Rajayogas are formed according to the words

EreF{, q$T€ and sf,eRfGf while the Rajayogas formed by

relationships have been told in the earlier slokas. In otherwords

Yogas formed here are due to the place value of Kendra and

Trifona. Following this principle, the Kendra and Trikona lords

must have one of the four pronged relationship'

In the first sloka gq-tlq ClHq was important, whill in

the second sloka TlErtlql-tf( was the key word. As these two

may not be interpreted differently here trC, q"C have been

q,rot"d. These factors generally apply to all the.house lords

6ut are vital for great auspiciousness of the Kendra and

Trikona lords.

Examples-

If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 10h lord Mars is in the th house

and the th lord fupiter is in the L0'h house then it is a house

exchange and is th-e strongest Yoga of 1st grade. It will not be

considered as the Yoga of the 5th and 6th lords.

In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the 10'h lord Mars and the th lord

Jupiter together eiiher be in the 10h house or the 9'h house then

it is a 2nd grade RajaYoga'

In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the l'Oth lord be in the th house in

|upiter's sign and-be aspected by Jupiter from the L't, 3d or 5'h-t,o,rr". or iI the 9th lord Jupiter be in the L0'h house in Martian

sign and be aspected by Mars from 3'd,4th or 7th house, then it is

a 5'd grade Rajayoga. ihese three types are the Yogas that are

mentioned in this Sloka.

In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the 5s lord Mars be in the 6ft house

and the 6'h lord Jupiter be in the 5th house then it is predominantly


a Yoga formed by the house exchange between the 5ft and 6h lordsand is not a Karaka Yoga or Rajayoga but rather a feeble Yoga.

If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 1.0'h and 56lord Mars and theth and 66lord Jupiter are conjunct in the 5h then it is a KarakaYoga and if in the 6th house then it being a Yoga of the 5h and10ft and the 6th lords is not a Karaka Yoga.

If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 5h and 10h lord Mars be inthe 5ft house in Sagittarius and be aspected by fupiter fromthe L0s, L2s or 2"d house then here the 5'h and 1.0'h lord Marswill be aspected by the 6th lord Jupiter and it can not be a KarakaYoga.

If in a Cancer Lagna chart Jupiter in the 5h house be aspectedby Mars from the 10\ 11th or 2"d house, here Jupiter in the 5ft

house is aspected by Mars fromAries in the 1"0'h house i.e' Jupiteris aspected by his dispositor. The 6th and 9th lord Jupiter is beingaspected by the 5h and L0'h lord Mars which is a Karaka Yogacapable of bestowing Rajyoga results. This Yoga is powerful thanwhen Mars aspects from the 1l-th or 2nd house. Mars is aYogakaraka for Cancer Lagna. Therefore Mars and Jupiter forma Rajayoga.

According to this text the results of the planets depend uPonthe houses they own and not on their own or their sign's inherentnatures. Here ownership of the house is important and at leastone of the planets must be in other's house.

The speciality of efff9Td (related by house placement)Yoga is that it is not affected, if any third planet is relatedwith one of the two Yoga producing planets e.g., if in CancerLagna chart the 9th and LOth lords Mars and Jupiter be related

by sr.zi-qrfrrd (house placement) and Jupiter be with Saturn(the 6th and 9'h lord Jupiter conjunct the 7'h and 8th lord Saturn)then Saturn cannot destroy the Karaka Yoga caused by Marsand Jupiter. The results of Mars Dasa, jupiter's Bhukti andSaturn's Pratyantara will be far more auspicious than theresul ts of Jupi ter 's Dasa, Mars 's Bhukt i and Saturn 'sPratyantara. The three planets are same but the difference liesin the fact that Mars, the Dasa lord and Rajayogakaraka isnot related with Saturn.

Examples of Aries Lagna-(i) If the 9ft lord Jupiter be in the 10th house and the 10ft lord

Saturn be in the 9,h, it is ai-ffId Yoga and is a popularRal'ayoga though blemished.

(ii) If the 7ft lord Venus be in the 5th house and the 5ft lordSun be in the 7'h, it is also an w*eT[|rd (in each other'ssign or dependingon one another)Yoga but witha MarakaVenus.

(i i i ) I f the Lagna lord Mars be in the 4th house and the4'h lord Moon be in the Lagna, then it is also sffffdRajayoga.

(i") If the 4'h lord Moon be in the Lagna and the 5th lord Sun bein the 7th then the planets are not in their houses and it isn61 e1:t;ut|rfc Yoga but simply an aspectual relationshipproductive of some good results.

(") I f Saturn is in the L2'h house and Jupiter in the1Lth house then it is an oTzi-rTlf9lfl Yoga of the 1l.th and ].2'hhouse lords not of the 9'h and 10'h house lords. Similarly ifthe Sun is in the 8 'h house and Mars inthe 5th house then it ir un e1fftfA Yoga of the 5th and 8,hhouse lords, not productive of greatly auspicious results.

("i) If Saturn is in own sign in the LOth house and ]upiter in the4th house in the Moon s sign both aspecting each other, it is


an aspectual relationship between the 9ft lord Jupiter andthe 1.0'h lord Saturn productive of some auspiciousness.

(vii) If the 9th and LOth lords are related not being in the 9'h and

Lgth houses therefore it is not sl.ffflf, Yoga of the 9th and

10h lords.

Here the 11h lord Saturn is in aspectual relationship with the9th and 12th house lord Jupiter which is not a Karaka Yoga.

To form Raiayoga, planets should be as defined in the

translation of this sloka. Readers will do well to understand the

above discussion by forming charts and understanding what is

said by working out permutations for other Lagnas as weII'

Example - In the chart of Mohammed Ali linnatr, the founder

of Pakistan, the 9th lord Venus is in l'Oth house and the 10'h lord

Mars is in thegh house. Theblemishof Mars as aweakTlishadayalord is eradicated by Venus being a Yogakaraka for Aquarius

Lagna. This sr$qlrrd Yoga is formed between the 96and 10ft

lords according to the relation established by qgq (house

exchange) of the two planets.

The Rajayoga or Karakayogadoes notmean that it necessarilymakes one a kingbut can help one to acquire high governmentalposition, authority, kingly honours, wealth etc. but inherentitrengh of the planets as discussed in previous sloka do affectthe intensity of the Yoga.

Raia Yoga par excellence-

ffiunffi{dqrs*}q*rtutt*T{Tsrs qRr+ rrasfq {+rrg-(tt17ll

If any of the Trikona lord is related to a strong Kendra lordi.e., LOth house lord and vice-versa, an excellent auspiciouscombination or Yoga results.

Notes-According to v{aTTwiff{irrtq in the Sloka 7 of thePreliminaries the t0th house is the strongest Kendra and the 9th houseis the strongest Trikona and so are their lords. Commentators forwarcldifferent interpretations for strong planets and quote the Sloka :

erctr=qs@t, qor f re@rr

A planet in exaltation, Moolatrikona, own sign, strong inshadavarga is termed as strong and this is true but we are talkingof special rules according to this text, therefore the termsauspicious, inauspicious, blemished, unblemished, strong andweak etc. will have to be adopted according to the rules laiddown in this text as well as otherwise. Therefore according toSloka 7 of the text, the LOs house is strongest amongst the Kendra

lords. In this Sloka 17 for dq+erg sm we shall have to takestrong L0th house lord. In this chapter Rajayogadhaya, tosummarise, what has been said about auspicious results is :

Sloka 14-If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related anddo not own the Trishadava or the 3'd, 6th and l"1th houses then


they bestow Rajayoga or geatly auspicious results.

Sloka 15 - If the Kendra and Tiikona lords be blemished thenalso bestow auspicious results, if they are related. But here onlyone planet should be blemished as one can mend or eradicatethe blemish of the other. If both are blemished no Rajayogaresults. In this Sloka qffi or 'strong' has been used as an adjectiveto Kendra and Trikona lords i.e., the strong Kendra and Tiikonalords, which are the 9th and L0th house lords.

Sloka 16-The qC andt5.d i.e., the 9th and 10s should eitherbein the 1"0'h and 9th houses or be together in one of these two housesor one of them be in other's one of these two houses and be aspectedby his dispositor then also great auspiciousness results.

Discussing unblemished Kendra and Trikona lords in Sloka14 and the blemished 9'h and 10'h lords in Sloka 15 and Kshetraor house relations of the 9th and 1,0'h house lords in Sloka 16, theauthor of the text wraps up the remaining relations of the Kendraand Tiikona lords in this Sloka 17 of the text.

To generalise the meaning of the sloka is like this-

(i) If the 10th house lord is related to any of the Trikona lordsthen such relationship produces greatly auspicious resultsor

(ii) if any of the Kendra lord either blemished or otherwise isrelated to the strongest tikona lord then also such relationshipis productive of greatly auspicious results or Yogakarakatwa.

Now we suppose, if the lords we are discussing be debilitatedweak by si6n or otherwise, the Yoga will be very weak. It seemsthat the word qffi also includes such inherent or naturalstrengths of the planets involved.

The relations between the Kendra and Trikona lords havebeendiscussed directly or indirectly in the earlier Slokas. This Sloka hasbeen inducted simply to add that the 9'h and 10'h lords should alsobe strong otherwise i.e., by placement, occupation, Vargas etc.

This 17'h Sloka lays impetus on the fact when the best Rajayogais caused? It is caused when the 10s lord and a Trikona lord arerelated or the 9th lord and a Kendra lord are related. If one or both


of them are exalted then it is best, if in own sign, a little less thanbest and if in a friendly sign then further little less and so on.

Example - In an Aries Lagna chart the 9th and 7th house lordsrespectively are Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter is also the 12th lord,Venus is also the 2nd lord. Though Jupiter being the 9th lord isunblemished but as 12th lord he acquires blemish throughconjunction or occupation. Therefore by being conjunct withVenus a Maraka, Jupiter acquires Maraka property due toconjunction as L2'h lord. Venus is also blemished being a Kendralord. Hence the Yoga or combination formed by conjunction ofVenus and Jupiter is futile as both are blemished.

Similarly, we can work out effective and ineffectivecombinations of Kendra and Trikona lords in the ligf;t ofguidelines offered by the text.

Let us examine a few more horoscopes-

Example - The chart under consideration is of Late PresidentDr. Rajendra Prasad.

(0 The Lagna (a Kendra and Trikona)and 4h (a Kendra) lordJupiter is in a Tiikona, the 9d'house, forming a powerfulRajayoga.

(ii) Mercury, the 7th (Maraka) and 10h house lord is in the Lagnawith Mars, the 5th and 12th house lord. Mars, the 1.2th lordconjunct Mercury also acquire the Maraka property ofMercury, therefore both are blemished. However the Lagna

position and aspect of the Lagna lord has eradicated theblemish considerably.

The speciality of the chart is that all the Kendra and Trikonalords are related.

Example-The char t hereunder is o f a successfu lbusinessman. (i) The Lagna lord Moon (a Kendra and Tiikona

lord) is with the blemished 9th lord Jupiter (a Trikona andTrishadaya lord) in exaltations. The Moon in own sign eradicatesthe blemish of Jupiter thus a powerful Rajayoga is caused. Thenative has progressed a lot during his business career.

(ii) The Yogakaraka Mars is conjunct the blemished 7th lord (aKendra) Saturn. The Yoga is in the 12'h house therefore fairly good.

Results of the Dasas of Yogakaraka planets-

qsn€{fr rrdq: qrqvilffi:t

@ YJlltrrfwr(ll18ll

The auspicious or Yoga results occur during the Dasa andBhukti of two Yogakaraka planets (the Kendra and Trikona lords)and such results also occur in the Dasa of Bhukti of such unrelatedauspicious planets (Yogakarakas) falling between the Dasas orBhuktis of the two main planets.


Notes-Suppose the Lagna is Aries. If the 10ft lord Saturnand the 5th lord Sun are related as told earlier then they formgreatly auspicious combination. Suppose the 9th lord Jupiter isnot related to the Sun and Saturn. Then in the Dasas of the Sunand Saturn, the Bhukti of auspicious Jupiter being the 9*h lordthough unrelated to the Sun and Saturn, will also produceauspicious (Yogakaraka) rsults.

Pt. Sita Ram jha has given another interpretation. He takesthe prose order thus-

rqgs.{rrfiTM rdrfin€ft zffiuft 3 Iq{n{dtrqqrTd: grtTYI: trt: qi(tt

In the Mahadasa of an unrelated auspicious planet, even inthe Bhukti of one Yogakaraka and in the Pratyantara of anotherYogakaraka, the results of the Yoga are realised. The logic heforwards is thus :

q{FTr ffis qtg$qfr TITWF:I

i ffi: qr{ sqvrrg d+s frlI q$qk {'1lT drr' vrq-*16561 nP',

In this world, a virtuous person ever strives to do good toother people. But a wicked person always tries to do harm toothers even if it may not serve any purpose to him. Similar is thecase with auspicious planets. During the course of their Dasa,whenever the Bhukti and Pratyantara of Yogakarakas occur, theyyield Yogakaraka results.

Conclusively we can state that if the Dasa of an auspicious(Yogakaraka) planet intervenes between the Dasa of therelated 9th and LO'h lords (Kendra and Trikona lords) then theDasa of th is unre lated auspic ious p lanet a lso producesauspicious results. More explicitly, it is not necessary that thisauspicious planet must be related with the 9'h and LO'h lords.If there exists a relation, then complete Yoga is formed. Thismay be extended to the Bhuktis of the 9'h and LOth lord as inthe example earlier.


Example -If in a Taurus Lagna chart the 4th lord Sun andthe 9th and L0'h house lord Saturn are related then both becomeYogakarakas. If Mercury the Sth lord is not related to these twoeven then in Sun's Dasa or Saturn's Dasa, Mercury's Bhukti willgive auspicious results. Similarly in Saturn's Dasa, Sun's Bhuktiand Mercury's Pratyantara, the results will be auspicious. Here

{le{ ll-6 means Trikona lord.

The word 9l-cl: has.been used in the Sloka which tells that

mixed results are also obtained in the Bhukti of such auspiciousplanets. This condition arises if Dasa lord is blemished. In thatcase this auspicious planet being not related with the Dasa lordis incapable of mending his blemish and in such conditionsproportionately auspicious or mixed results are obtained.

Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart the combination of Venusand Saturn is greatly auspicious. If Mercury (a Trikona lord) isunrelated to Saturn even then in Saturn's Dasa and Mercury'sBhukti results will be auspicious with a little Maraka effectsbecause Mercury is also a feeble Maraka. But in Venus's Dasaand Mercury's Bhukti results will be proportionate or mixedbecause Venus is blemished being the 6th lord. Mercury cannotmend or eradicate the blemish of Venus because he is not relatedto Venus. Mercury will also cause feeble Maraka results likeillness, debt, teasing from enemy etc.

Example-In a Taurus Lagna chart, the relation of Mercuryand Saturn produces a powerful Rajayoga. Then, if Saturn doesnot make any relation with the Sun and Mars even then inSaturn's Dasa the Bhuktis of the Sun and Mars will not beinauspicious because the Sun and Mars being Kendra lords areneutrals. However the combination of the Sun and Saturn willbe productive of very auspicious results. Then if the 2"d and 5'hlord Mercury is related with the Sun, he will be productive ofauspiciousness in his Bhukti in the Dasa of the Sun. Similarly ifSaturn and Mars are r.elated then Mercury Bhukti will beauspicious inSaturn's Dasa but in Mars's Dasa Mercury's Bhuktiwill not be as auspicious but will give mixed results also withsome Maraka effects.


Example - In a Thurus Lagna chart, if Mercury is related withthe Sun instead of Saturn. Then in the Sun's Dasa Mercury'sBhukti will be more auspicious than Saturn's Dasa and Mercury'sBhukti because Mercury is related with the Sun to cause Yoga.

Example-The followingchart is of a native in the computerbusiness. The 9th lord Sun and the 10th lord Mercury are conjunctin the 12th house. The Sun's Dasa commenced on 30-10-1999.

The Sun's Dasa and Bhukti proved auspicious for business.The Sun's Dasa and Moon's Bhukti was tense due to womenfolk at home. The Sun s Dasa and Mars's Bhukti made him to

expand and renovate his business and thus increased his

eainings. Mars is a Trikona lord aspecting the Yoga thereforeproductive of auspiciousness.

Results in the Bhukti of related inauspicious planet-

Inauspicious planets, because of the relation with Yogakarakaplanets will be productive of auspicious results according to their

planets give Yoga results in their own Dasa and Bhukti andPratyantara of Yogakaraka planets.

For him clue lies in the following verse-

qq**) qfr qrt(-+ seisfr faermq*':tir{T( qrqisfr qq*} qfr qttrqdeq:tt

Even bad persons in the company of noble persons mendtheir ways to help the latter. Similarly a malefic planet gives theresults of the Yoga, if in any relationship with the Yogakarakaplanets.

In Sloka 18 was said that greatly auspicious results occur inthe Dasa and Bhukti of Yogakaraka planets and even the Bhuktiof unrelated auspicious planet is productive of auspicious results.Here auspicious planets are productive of good results erienwithout relationship with the Yogakarakas. Now the questionarises, can inauspicious planets be productive of auspiciousness,if they are relatedto Yogakaraka planets? The answer is that aninauspicious planet is productive of auspicious results accordingto his strength in his Bhukti, if he is related to Yogakaraka planets.In other words a Trishadaya lord who is neither a Kendra nor aTiikona lord and is related to Yogakaraka planets; in his Dasaand Bhukti of the related Yogakaraka planets will produce mixedresults according to the power of his inauspiciousness' Almostall the commentators have interpreted that inauspicious planetwill give auspicious results. If this would have been the intentionof the author of the text then he would have not contradicted itin Slokas 37 and 38 :

crcr qR (flFilefi: u{rri nq:{Igq|-{l

$ffi4: qvsTrqr€l-tr5;5.. {$!mqt 1 137,'q-qFa fqqm,r<t 5"rd mqqlsrcq(TrTrqrFtK[ arEifr ir(q'ltnql 138 I I

If the Dasa lord is inauspicious then inauspicious results occurin the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet and mixed resultsociur in the Bhukti of related auspicious planet but veryinauspicious results occur in the Bhukti of uruelated inauspiciousplanet.


Now, it is evident from these Slokas that if the Dasa lord isinauspicious, the auspicious planet related to him gives mixedresults in his Bhukti. Here if inauspicious planet is totallyinauspicious as Jupiter for Libra Lagna and Mercury for ScorpioLagna then the results will depend upon his strength and thestrength of related auspicious planet. The word tfif( has beenused only for the Bhukti of inauspicious planet not for the Dasaof Yogakaraka planet otherwise it will contradict Slokas 37-38.

Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart, if the Sun and Saturn arerelated to produce greatly auspicious results and if the Moon isrelated to the Sun not to Satum then in the Sun's Dasa, the Moon'sBhukti and in the Moon's Dasa, Sun's Bhukti will be productiveof mixed results. If the Moon is related to both the Sun and Saturn.Then Moon's Dasa and Saturn's Bhukti will be more auspiciousthan Sun's Bhukti.

To generalise, we can say that Trishadaya lords if related toYogakarakas are productive of mixed results in the Dasa ofYogakarakas and their own Bhuktis and vice versa. Tiishadayalords if unrelated to Yogakaraka planets are productive ofextremely inauspicious results in the Dasa of Yogakarakas andtheir own Bhuktis and vice-versa.

Example-In the chart hereSaturn is Yogakaraka and Jupiteris unrelated inauspicious (Papa) Trishadaya lord. In Jupiter'sDasa and Saturn's Bhukti the native faced very inauspicious

If the same planet owns a quadrant or Kendra and a Trikona,he becomes a Yogakaraka. If this Yogakaraka is related to anotherTiikona lord, what better Yoga can be than this Yoga?

Notes-The Yoga produced in this Sloka is of a very highorder and clue of the idea contained in this Sloka is given below:

t*gn wflrorfr ffid l-qrgs1qqiRrqfr wr*i qR trs fr*s-iT:tl

A wise government administrator always works for thebenefit of his subjects. If he is further related to a virtuous personwhat more can be said of his wiseness? Similarly, if the lord of aKendra and Trikona (Rajayogadhikari) be related with the lordof a Trikona (wisdom) he produces auspiciousness everywhere,as is said :

e$qe6q fi-*tqrg fsuJ€m g dq+qr,rql: qq--trrriur q-*-{fr Tri vdqrr

The Trikona houses are termed the houses of Lakshmi (thegoddess of wealth) while the Kendra houses are the housgs ofVishnu (the god of existence and sustainance) and relationshipamong their lords makes one an emperor whose fame spreadsall around. The stronger the relationship due to various strengthsof the planets, the stronger will be Rajayoga. If the concernedplanets are in Simhasanamsa, the native of the chart will be anemperor, ruling the whole earth as is said:

qffin 6M Tg{++f,c5entqffirqTTn qdwe{rd qm-sfr{: | |sdq1agd u11-ilReTr 15qr gfqbt;1

In this combination (Rajayoga with the Yogakarakas inSimhasanamsa) were born, Harishchandra, Manu, Bali and other


emperors of olden times. In Kaliyuga, king Yudhishthira too wasborn in such a combination of planets.

Ordinarily, Rajayogas confer much wealth, status andhappiness to the native though they may not make him a king.The planet's strength is the key to the quality of Rajayoga. Aplanet in debilitatioru combustion etc. is dispossessed of strength,therefore incapable of confering auspiciousness.

Upto now we talked of the Kendra and Trikona lords but thequestion arises what will be the results, if a Kendra or Trikonalord at the same time happens to be a Trishadaya or 8th houselord as for a Gemini Lagna chart Mercury conjunct Venus berelated to Saturn who is also the 8tr'house lord; for a CancerLagna chart Jupiter being the 9th lord is also the 6th lord; for aCapricorn Lagna chart the 9th lord Mercury also happens to bethe 6tr'house lord and for an Aquarius Lagna chart Mercury beingthe 5th house lord also owns the 8th house. A Yogakaraka is ajoint lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona, if he happens to berelated to a blemished Tiikona lord, then the blemish does notinfluence the combination any way because auspiciousness ofthe Yogakaraka planet is so great that it eradicates the blemish.

If a Rajayogakaraka planet (the same lord of a Kendra and aTrikona) is related to another Kendra lord is not as powerful aswhen related to a Trikona lord.

In a Taurus Lagna chart if Saturn (the 9th and 10'h lord) isrelated to Mercury (the 5s and 2nd lord), it is the best Yoga forTaurus Lagna.

In a Cancer Lagna chart, if Mars (the 5h and L0th lord) is relatedto the Moon or Jupiter the 6th and 9ft lord will be the best Yogafor Cancer Lagna but Mars+Moon Yoga will have an edge overthe others because the Moon is unblernished at all. Similarly inThurus Lagna chart Mercur/+$nfp6 Yoga will have an edge overSaturn+Sun Yoga but in Mercury+Saturn combination, Mercuryis also a Maraka :

3Tt-{Eli {rqftrs q*qnq'ut*grye{4fr flmur grq{il ffiq31g


Initially Raiayoga results of Saturn+Mercury Yoga are feltbut later Maraka results also acrue to the native.

In a Libra Lagna chart Saturn (the 4th and 5'h lord) andMercury (the 9'h and 12tr' lord) form the best Yoga, if related. [n aLeo lagna chart Mars+]upiter combination will be less auspiciousthan Mars+Sun combination as Jupiter also owns the 8h house.

Example-In the chart of Swami Karpatri ji the Lagna isCancer and Mars (a Yogakarka) aspects ]upiter the 9th lord but

Jupiter does not aspect Mars therefore the exchange of aspects ispartial. The 9'h lord is exalted and the Rajayogakaraka Mars is in

Jupiter's sign Sagittarius. Swamiji was a great saintly personalitywho commanded honour and respect.

The debiliatation of Mars conjunct Rahu and his aspect overthe Moon considerably reduces the potential of the chart.

Rahu and Ketu as Yogakarkas-

qE *i ffim qr frr+tdi nritudtrtT*lrqaffi gcrjerrcilrtinrrihlt p 1 ll

If Rahu or Ketu occupy a Kendra or a Trikona and byoccupying a Kendra be related to Trikona lord or by occupyinga Trikona be related to a Kendra lord then they becomeYogakarakas.i Notes-A p lanet g ives resul ts by b lending h is own'signfications

with the significations of the house he occupies.Mere placement of Rahu or Ketu is not found auspicious as issaid in fataka Parijata.

i -r$ <vruffa*aqfrd rr€I f{d'ilqrrA g tfir+d ffisfr qqq: +dferd 1;qsq-a ffi1;

When Rahu is in the Lagna, the person will be bereft ofcompassion, virtues and will be afflicted by diseases. Ketu inthe Lagna makes the perqon a miser. When aspected by a benefic,the person enjoys like a king.

Again,' $pfqqrgiw: gci v.un* *ft w: eFooffiq t'frr

When Rahu is in the Sth house, the person is a coward. He iscompassionate but will be poor. If Ketu is in the 5th house, one iswicked and will always be troubled by diseases.

But these are general results associated with natal astrology.Here we are concerned with the results in Dasas and Bhuktisdue to ownership of houses.

Rahu and Ketu Jb shadowy planets and clo not have orbs.They are simply the intersections of the paths of earth and theMoon. Thus, they are magnetic points always sticking to thequalities of the houses and planets they are conjunct with or theplanets they are related with.

fi


Rahu and Ketu being shadowy planets will act according to

the house they occupy. If lord of the house is strong, they are

strong and if weak, they are weak. Similarly if their dispositor is

a Yogakaraka, they will function as Yogakarakas. Likewise they

also accluire the auspicious and inauspicious characteristics of

the planet conjunct to them'

Conclusively we can say-

(a) If Rahu and Ketu are alone-

(0 In a Kendra they will be neutral while in a Trikona theywill be auspicious.

(ii) In the 7th or 2nd house they will function as Marakas.

(iii) In the lrd, (,th or 1Lth house they will be inauspicious'

(i") In the 12th house they will be neutral.

(v) In the 8th house they will be direly evil.

(b) If conjunct with the planets-

(i) In a Trikona with a Kendra lord, Yogakaraka.

(ii) In a Kendra with a Trikona lord, Yogakaraka.

(iii) In the 3rd,6th or Lltr'house with their lords, inauspicious.

(iv) With the 8'h house lord inauspicious but auspicious if

./. conjunct in the 8thhouse.'(v)

In the 2n't or 7d'house with their lords, specific Marakas.

(vi) In the L2'h house with the 1.2'h lord, neutral.

Example-ln a Libra Lagna chart, if Rahu is in the 9th in

Gemini, then Rahu functions as the 9'h lord and more powerfullyif associated with Mercury. If the same Rahu is in the 12th house

alone then it lvill be neutral and if associated with Mercury in

the L2'r'house then also it will be neutral being associated with

the 12tr'house lord.

About Rahu and Ketu, earlier there was a Sloka:

qs-{sTrq'd erfr qer{ rnaq[sgn\ra+e+;-qrfr y-i-d YffidT' affirr


In this context notes were given. It was also told how Rahuancl Ketu behave when associated with other house lords. In theSloka here the word TIrtr*I or relation has been used, not the

word "Td

or association. According to this text, relations areof four types but here only place or house relation has beenconsidered. The reason perhaps is that Rahu-Ketu do not ownany sign, therefore they can not form any relation except houseoccupation.

Thus, the Sloka simply means, if Rahu and Ketu in a Kendraare associated with a Trikona lord or in a Trikona are associatedwith a Kendra lord or are associated with a Trikona lord in a Trikonathen only they are Yogakarakas. They are neutral in a Kendra evenif with its lord. This has been elaborated at length earlier.

If Rahu in a Kendra is aspected by a Trikona lord even thenit is be a mild Yogakaraka unless it does not occupy the sign ofthe aspecting planet. This is possible for Taurus Lagna if Rahu isin Aquarius in the 10'h house and is aspected by Saturn from theLagna, the 4thor 8d'house, then it is aspected by th lord Saturn also.In this text the aspectual relation is only possible when the planetis aspected by his dispositor. Thus, Rahu-Ketu are devoid of mutualaspectual relation according to the text as they do not own any signand also do not have a physical body and luminousity as well.

Example-In the chart hereunder Rahu in a Trikona isassociated with a Kendra lord Mars therefore produces a Rajayoga.

But the association of saturn as the 8th lord reduces the

auspiciousness considerably which would have nullified only,

if tfre 9th lord Jupiter would have joined the combination

according to previous Sloka.

Extinction of RaiaYoga -

erffiftr#I r*l-f,rcnfqfr qfrlad: gq*rrnlur q +rf ltsrt =t{rttzzlt

If the lords of the 9'h and L0'h houses also own the 8th and 1L*h

houses, a person does not enioy any Yoga through their

relationship.

Notes-Earlier it was stated that the combination of the th

and 1,0,h lords produces auspiciousness provided the dther

inauspicious lords do not afflict the combination. Inauspiciouslords are the lords of the 3'd, 6th, 1Lth, 8th, 2nd and l'2th houses. The

8,h lord is supremely inauspicious and deadly evil, then come

the lords of the 11th- 6th and 3'd houses in the reducing order of

evil. The lords of the 2nd and 12'h houses cause evil only in

association with other evil or inauspicious house lords. The 8thlord and then the Llth lord are the most inauspicious or evil. The

3"thouse lord is least inauspicious.

According to Maharishi Parasara, if a Kendra or Trikona lord

also owns tha Sth or Llth house, he cannot produce Yoga by any

mealls as is said :

d qdfd( trCffisfr q: q-Cfqd qqqril+fr1

dd: tser sr( qfs ql {rqgqs gf;r:ll

If a righteous person follows unrighteous path and anotherone who does not spend for righteous cause, when the two are

united, how can they be auspicious for righteousness and

expansion of kingly comforts ?

The above condition applies only when the malefics Mars

and saturn own the l.Lth house; if venus is the LLth lord then this

does not apply to him in full measure for Venus being a benefic

is the only ptinet who can be a Kendra.lord besides being the

11th lord.


Mars and Saturn owning the 3'd and 6th houses if are alsojointly the Kendra and Tiikona lords in a Rajayoga combination,they do not cause much inauspiciousness because the 3'd and 6tr'are weak houses for the evil. Some of the auspiciousness is stillpresent in the combination.

The 2"'t and L2'h house lords joining the Kendra and Tiikonalords combination do not cause any change in the Rajayogaresults however this conjunction is good for auspicious resultsin such lord's Dasas and Bhuktis.

If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related and a third planetbeing the 8tr'or 1L'r'house lord is related to one of the Yoga causingplanet or a single Rajayogakaraka planet (as Saturn for TaurusLagna), the Yoga causing property is not vanquished. The Yogacausing property is only depleted when the Kendra and Tiikona lordsalso happen to be the 8tr' and 11tr' house lords at the same time. Hereit should be clear that only the auspiciousness of the combination isdestroyed however planet's individual results still occur.

The demand of the Sloka does not seems to apply verbatimbecause for none of the Lagna, the 9th and 8'h lord and the 10thand lLth lords can be two planets. The language of the Sloka seemsto have got corrupt with the passage of time. However, theessence should be, if the 9'h lord being the 8th lord gets relatedwith the l,Otr'lord or the 10'h lord being the Ll,th lord is related tothe th house lord the greatly auspicious results or Rajayoga doesnot occur but fair amout of auspiciousness is still present.

Sri Vinayaka Sastri opines that for Aries and Gemini Lagnasno Yoga can occur through the relationship of Jupiter and Saturn

as told above. He further says, for q*fl or the 9th lord we should

consicler all the Trikona lords and 6o1q-fw or the 10'h lord weshould infer all the Kendra lords. A Tiikona lord can never bethe 11tr'house lord but a Kendra lord can be the 1l.th and 8th houselord. Therefore, he suggests that in a wider sense we shouldinterpret it as, if the Kendra and Trikona lords happen to be the8th and 11th lords, the Rajayoga is vanquished and one cannotenjoy the greatly auspicious results. Sri Sastri's viewb thoughhave some depth, still we forward our discussion further.

Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika " "

In a Gemini Lagna chart if Mercury and Venus associate with

or are related to the 3'd Tiikona lord Saturn who also happens to

be the 8,h lord then will it be a Rajayoga ? The answer is that

other Trikona lord is so auspicious that it can eradicate the evil

of being the 8th or 11,h lord. A Rajayogakaraka pla_net (a single

lord of (endra and Trikona) is also capable of this. For Gemini Lagna

the relation of Saturn and Venus cannot produce Yoga for want of

Kendra lordship. However the association of Mercury fulfils this

neecl. Moreorrui M"r.rry being the Kendra and Trikona lord also

helps in the eradication of the 8'h house evil of Saturn'

In a Cancer Lagna chart the relation of Mars (a Kendra and

Trikona lord) and fupiter is a Rajayoga. so is the same combination

for Leo Lagna for then )upiter happens to be the 5'h and 8e lord'

Example-Hereunder is Aquarius Lagna chart ' Venus

On Longevity

Determination of Maraka Houses-

erqi grgq: TglFrr[qqKqri q ?r(l

ilqhfr q{Re[rc qr{fr''{qr{gqtrPgtt

The 8h house from the birth Lagna is called the house oflongevity. The 8h from the 8'h house is also likewise i.e., the 3'dhouse is also a house of longevity.

The L2th houses counted from these two houses are calledMaraka (death-inflicting) houses.

Thus the 7th and 2"'t houses in a horoscope are Maraka (deathinflicting) houses.

Notes-There is no doubt that the 8'h house is the house oflongevity. The evil nature of the 8th lord has been discussedearlier. The 9th house is the most auspicious house; therefore theL2tr'house from it indicates its drainage which is the 8'h house,the deadly evil house. The loss of life is the suPreme loss i.e.,death. Death is the supreme truth in this universe. One who takesbirth l'ras to die one day. Therefore, the most inauspicious in thisuniverse is death, which falls under the domain of the 8th houseof the horoscope. Out of all the houses in a horoscope one is theprime house and there are also secondary houses of it accordingto "Bhavat Bhavam" principle.


The secondary house is as much houses ahead of the primehouse as the prime house is from the Lagna. The Sth is the houseof intelligence therefore the 5s from the 5s i.e., the 9'h house fromthe Lagna also signifies intelligence i.e., the 9*h is the secondaryhouse of intelligence. What is judged from the 5th house can alsobe judged from the 9th house secondarily. Similarly, the 8th fromthe 8th house i.e., the 3'd house from the Lagna is the secondaryhouse of longevity.

The drainage houses for the 8th and 3'd houses are the 7th and2nd houses respectively, which are the Maraka houses. As thehouses 6f longevity are prime and secondary, so are the Marakahouses. Thus, the 7th house is the prime Maraka house and the2"d house is the secondary Maraka house.

Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' counts the 7ft house as strongMaraka house. He argues :

ftfrfqorg: ffi qgfucqt enJqFrqrg:€{HqrdTl tffiqs nqqsr-qr q'rdffisqgfqqt qfd

Some of the commentators of Laghu Parasari are at varianceand promote the view that the 2nd house is the prime Marakahouse. The text clears that the 7h house is a Maraka house withoutdoubt as'qgqqqfffiq r*H C {rTq-E:'

is not considered as Maraka for Taurus Lagna though he becomesthe 7th and 2"'l houses lord:

r 6tfr Ea: !N: fr*rc E;l qgl-zl:ll

Venus acquires the.worst Kendradhipatya Dosha; evil dueto quadrangular lordship because he is also the Karaka of the7th house. Being the 2'"1and 7'h lord for Aries Lagna his results


are to be decided on 7'h house lordship. Hence he is a deadlyMaraka.

Contrary to this Mars a natural malefic also owns the 7th and2nd houses for L ibra Lagna. But he does not acqui reKendradhipatya Dosha and becomes neutral for being a Kendra,the 7'h house lord. Hence Mars is not considered severe Marakafor Libra Lagna.

Concluding, we can say that the 7th house is prime Maraka house.

For Cancer Lagna Saturn is considered Maraka as he ownsthe 7'h house besides being lord of the 8th house.

On Determination of Maraka Planets-

Out of the two Maraka houses first one is more powerful thanthe other; death occurs in the Dasa of their lords. If malefic planets

occupy these houses in conjunction with Maraka lords, death

occurs in the Dasas of these malefic planets. If death does not

occur in the Dasas of these malefics then it occurs in the DasaBhukti of the 12'h house lord.

Notes-The word erg in Sloka 24 is interpreted in two ways'

If counted from the Lagna first Maraka house is the 2"d house'Therefore some argue that it should be the stronger Maraka house.

In Sloka 23, the 8'h house is taken first then following the words

sTqrqKqq, the 3'd house becomes the secondary house of longevity'

Therefore the word el|-€I should not be interpreted in relation to the

Lagna rather it should be interpreted in relation to the 8'h house

and thus 7s house becomes the stronger Maraka house.

Natural benefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon when

own Kenclra houses acquire Kendradhipatya Dosha and this

Dosha is particularly effective when these planets being the 7th

lord occupv the 7,h or the 2n't house. The malefics conjunct with


these Marakas can cause death in their Dasas or Bhuktis. TheMaraka planets can cause death in their Dasas or Bhuktis andthis is particularly true when they occupy Maraka houses. Whendeath occurs, the following Sloka illustrates-

\rdq{ndffi ffiq gfr ic(rrThe malefics related with Maraka planets can cause death.

The relationship here does not mean four pronged relatiortshipbut only conjunction is intended because the word'gTdt' is usedin the Sloka. Now who are the malefics. Here in the text theTrishadaya lords have been decleared inauspicious while the8'h lord is termed as greatly inauspicious or deadly evil.

Pt. Vinayaka Sastri holds that the wordVlfutis used instead

of qrq in the text therefore inauspicious planets declared in the

text cannot be taken here. The wordqrfuthere is specific for thenatural malefics (Mars, Saturn, Mercury conjunct malefics, theweak Moon and Rahu) who are debilitated, in enemy sign,combust, conjunct malefics, being malefics also own evil orinauspicious houses etc. When these {Ifut or malefics conjunctthe Marakas, can be death inflicting or can cause death in theirDasa Bhuktis. If these do not cause death in their Dasa-Bhuktisthen the 12th house lord from the Lagna comes into the picture, ifbeing a malefic he is in the above stated degradations and isplaced in a Maraka house or conjuncts a Maraka. Serialising theMarakas in descending order-

(i) The 7'h house lord and associated malefics.

(ii) The 2"'t house lord and associated malefics.

(iii) The L2tr'house lord from the Lagna and associated malefics.

(i") Planets related the 12th lord.


(v) Debilitated, combust or enemy sign placed planets who, occupy Maraka houses'

(ui) Only malefics

(vii) The 8th house lord.

According to ]ataka Chandrika following planetshappento

be Marakas in descending order-

(i) The 2"'r house lord.

(ii) Malefic occupying the 2'd house.

(iii) The 7th house lord.

(i") Malefic occupying the 7th house.

Firstly most important is to fix the 1o1e-evr]f .fccording to

the principles set forth in standard works like Brihat Parasara

Hora Sastra, Brihat |ataka, |ataka Pariiata etc., Parasara says :

q-flgqtqqwlg: gqlqfTd d'rett

fqrnq Ytm 5$ rTrc*1 qftfifl{t(lt

After fixing the span of longevity one shgufd determine

which Maraka-Daru-Iihnkti operite at the end of that span of

longevity and that Maraka Dasa-Bhukti will terminate life. The

Uaiata basa-Bhuktis in operation earlier to these will only cause

diseases, sorrows and other troubles.

Now what is span of longevity ? The short longevity span is

upto 32 years, the medium is upto 64years and the long is upto

O6 y"utt. for the calculations of longevity-readers *uy. q9 lhroughjuigement of Longevity by D. P. Saxena, published by

IVI/s Rani an Publications.


Maharishi Jaimini suggests to calculate the life span by theLagna lord and the 8s lord; the Moon and the Lagna; and theLagna and Hora Lagna.

Suppose the birth is in Virgo at 28 Ghatis after sunrise.

Multiply 28 by f we g"t T = tt+. Count eleven signs from Virgo

which are the Hora signs passed i.e., the signs passed are upto1

Cancer. f

is in Leo. Thus Leo is Hora Lagna.

faimini Suhas by Prof P.S. Sastri is the most complete andauthentic work in this respect. Suggestions for longevity basedon the Lagna and the 8h lord are-

In the above table Cardinal Lagna lord means the Lagnalord occupying a cardinal sign, similarly dual Lagna lord meansthe Lagna lord in dual sign and so on. Both the {-agna lord and8'h lord's pair is judged. Thus three tables for the lagna lord and8ft lord; the Lagna and Hora Lagna; the Moon and Lagna shouldbe prepared and judged as above. Some scholars take Saturnand Mooninstead of the Moonand Lagna. The tabie givenaboveis a specimen. The span of longevity arrived at by the two orthree pairs should be adopted. If all the three pairs showdifferently then the life span should be fixed finally by the Lagnaand Hora Lagna.

If the Lagna lord is friendly to the Sun then long life may beanticipated, if neutral then medium and if enemy then short life.

Long span Medium span Short Span.

This view of sarvartha Chintamani is unacceptable, for then

all the natives born in the signs of Saturn and Venus will be short

l ived.Many other Yogas on longevity are scattered through out the

astrologilal classics and majority decision should be adhered to.

Suppose there are many Yogas in favour of medium longevity

then the termination of liie will occur near to the extreme end

i.e., near to 64 years as the medium life span starts at 32 years

arrd extends uPto 64Yeats.

Yogas extending LongevitY -

(i) The strong Lagna - Lagna lord and the Moon - Moon sign

lord.

(ii) Benefic aspects or conjunctions to the above four'

(iii) The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord in occupation of a

Kendra, Trikona, the 2nd, Ll"th or 8'h houses'

(i") Malefics occupying the 3'd,6th and L1'h houses t

I (*r) Jupiter or Jupiter and the Moon conjunction in the Lagna'

(vi) The Lagna and 8'r'lords in conjunction'

(vii) The Lagna and 8.h lords in exaltation, own or friendly signs.

(viii) The Lagna lord, iupiter and Venus occupying a Kendra or

Trikona.

(i*) The Lagna and 8.r.lords be mutually friends, strong and be

in the cardinal signs.

(t) The Kendra and Trikona lords be strong'

with the strength of above houses and planets one_is well to

clo, fortunate and discriminative. These qualities make one to

go for purposeful living and thus increase in the longevity is

achieved.Yogas depleting LongevitY -

(i) The weakness of the Lagna, Lagna lord, the Moon and the

Moon sign lord'

(ii) Afflications of the lords at (i) or their placement in

Trishadaya houses.

95\ Lag h u Pa rasa ri -J ataka C h an d ri ka

(iii) Birth in Mrityu Bhagas or in junction of signs.(i") Birth in bad omens on 14th or L5tr'day of dark fortnight.

(") Thc Moon in Mrityu Bhagas afflicted in a Kendra or 8thhouse.

(ui) Malefics in Kendra, Trikona or the 8'h house.'i

Thus by balancing the good and bad Yogas, the longevityspan be fixed and Dasa Bhukti of Maraka be determined.

Example - Let us study the chart of late Prime Minister IndiraGandhi.

(i) The Lagna lord Moon is friendly to the Sun = Long life.(ii) The Lagna and Lagna lord, the Moon and the Moon sign

lord are strong = Long life.

(iii) The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord in a Kendra =Long life.

(i") The Lagna and the Moon afflicted by Saturn = Loss oflongevity.

(") Natural malefics in Kendra and Tiikona = Loss of longevity.

These indicate death immediately after the start of long life span.According to Jaimini system the Lagna lord and 8th lord and

lhe Lagna and the Moon indicate long life. The two negativefactors above indicate death with in few years of the start of longlife span.

If saturn himself happens to be a Maraka then he inflicts

death in his or other planet's Dasa-Bhukti which in characteristics

is similar to Saturn. fn Saturn's Dasa, Rahu's Bhukti commenced

in september 1983. Previous to Rahu's Bhukti were Bhuktis of

Mars and the Moon which are Yogakarakas. Next Bhukti to

Rahu,s is of Jupiter who being a Tiikona lord could not have

killed. Therefore Rahu's Bhukti was Maraka Bhukti. Her death

occured on 31 October L984 in saturn Dasa and Rahu Bhukti

when saturn in transit was passing through the 4th house and

was conjunct with the transit Sun.

malefic planetf coniunct with them; malefics occupying Maraka

houses ancl of the 1.2,h lord from the Lagna do not fall with in the

of tn" planetsielatea io drainage hggse lord (7'h lord) of the 8th

If that also does not fall in the longevity span then death

occurs in the Dasa Bhuktis of the planets like the 8th house lord.

Otherwise, death occurs in the Dasa Bhukti of the auspicious

planets that are debilitated, combust etc'

If still death does not occur then it occurs in the Dasa Bhuktis

of inauspicious planets which are the 11th, 6th and 3'd house lords.

Notes-Slokas 24 and 25 and present two Slokas are very

important and their interpretation should be clearly borne in


mind. In this text malefics mean natural malefics like Mars,

saturn, Rahu the sun, the Moon with deficient rays and malefic

associated Mercury and the rest are natural benefics'

The lords of auspicious houses are auspicious for the material

benefits and the lords of inauspicious houses are termed as

inauspicious in this respect. These are the terms used in this text

for vaiious planets according to their lordships'

Now Yoga producing ability and Maraka property are two

different cfiarlcteristiCs of the same planet and function

simultaneously though these are contrary to each other. In other

words the same planEt can function in two different ways at the

same time.

Now let us understand various terms used in four slokas

including preceding two slokas-

Tfrlvrgwrrfiilr:Consider the 7th lord, the 2"d lord, Venus with Kendradhi-

patya Dosha, Kendrapati Jupiter and then the 12th house lord in

ivtaiata context first, in the reducing order of strength. These

occupying the Maraka houses are first grade Marakas'

Iilfirt:when the above planets occupy places other than Maraka

houses should acquire further maleficence like debilitation,

combustion, associltion with inauspicious planets, deposition

in enemy signs etc. to become second grade Marakas. one who

acquires mu;rifold maleficence of the type acquires more Maraka

evil.

HrqTr(qqTsffi! ,*If the Dasa-Bhuktis of the

'above Marakas do not fall in

longevity span then look out if the l.2th house lord occupies a

Maiaka -ho.tsu,

to be a Maraka. To be a Maraka, he will have to

acquire evils further like debilitation etc. if he occupies houses

other than Maraka houses.

In these planets, the strongest ones whose Dasa-Bhuktis fall

(i) The 8'h lord wherever he is and even if in exalted state heis.

, (ii) The L1h house lord.

(iii) The 6s house lord.

(i") The 3'd house lord.

The Marakas indicated here are in the reducing order of theMaraka evil. If the Maraka Dasa-Bhukti is noticed in the toporder then we need not proceed further.

As single Trikona lord cannot bestow Rajayoga in the sameway single Maraka cannot inflict death, only inflicts adverseresults. To inflict death he has to relate himself with some malefic.If a Maraka planet i.e., the 7th or 2nd house lord is associated witha malefic, he forms a first grade Maraka combination. In chapteron Preliminaries it is said-

qrc*-dsfr q 6ff1;6ar5aqRqfr ; 1 1

As Kendra lords Jupiter and Venus are strong Marakasparticularly if occupying the 7'h house, next in order are Mercuryand the Moon. If malefics like Mars, Saturn and the Sun own the7'h house they do not become Marakas as they leave theirmaleficence by owning a Kendra, thus become neutral and aresimply adverse in their Dasa-Bhukti. If Jupiter or Venus asKendra lords occupy the 7th house in conjunction with maleficsthen they become Marakas jointly and surely in their respective

Dasa-Bhukti. If both related the other way and notin th: i:lhouseit"n trturuka results are anticipatory, however they inflict evil

results in their Dasa-Bhukti'

Example - In Gemini Lagna chart, if Jupiter-Saturn' Jupiter-

tvtars orlupiter-sun are in th;7,h house, the native will die in the

Ooru ofl"piter and in the Bhukti of Saturn or Mars' Death is

houses. If Saturn is related to the 4th and 7th lord Jupiter he must

froduce good results but according to example Sloka'-he will

initially five yoga results and then in the end he will inflict

Maraka results.

If saturn is not related to Marakas then Marakas will function

in a normal way and the strongest of them will inflict death but

saturn even if weak is related to Marakas then he himself will

become strongest Maraka to inflict death'

saturn being the 7th lord is also the 8th lord for Cancer Lagna

therefore he is a strong Maraka. If he is located in the 7th house

he is very very strong in trtis context or is related to Marakas

who are debilitated or combust.

Dasas & Bhuktis of Planets

Special Rule for Dasa Results-

rffigdET: qtsalvngegkgt' VJr{TVJ$IIFA Tunqrfl$rrErd{iTd:ll29ll

Al l the planets do not confer their ful l auspicious,inauspicious or Maraka results during their Dasas and in their

own Bhuktis in them. But they confer only ordinarily such results

in their Dasas and Bhuktis.

Notes - In this Sloka a general principle has been

propounded that planets do not give entire results of their house

-wnership in their Dasas and own Bhuktis i.e., wheu the Dasa

and Bhukti lord is one and the same planet, he does not give his

entire results due to ownership during his own Dasa-Bhukti.

The word slltrTqltN-{Fq is used in a wider pretext i.e., the Dasa

lord's sign occupatiory house ownership, his aspects, aspects over

him, relationship with other house lords, his own natural

characteristics, debilitation, exaltation, Karkatwa etc., all these

goocl and evi l states of the planet col lectively and

comprehensively are included in the word. slfeqcrTtm(Fql

Therefore a planet does not give his entire sTfiCqHf{5q results in

his own Dasa-Bhukti however a few results can sti l l be

experienced.


The above Sloka tells us the peculiarity of Dasa lord's own

Bhukti. Every planetary Dasa starts with its own Bhukti or

Antardasa. Thus, the Sun's Dasa commences with his own Bhukti

spreading over a period of 3 months and 18 days.

The substance is that the whole of the auspicious or

inauspicious results of a planet cannot be expected in his own

Bhukti when his Dasa has commenced. Suppose in a chart jupiter

owns the 9th house. It should not be proclaimed immediately

that the most fortunate period would be ]upiter's Bhukti in

Jupiter's Dasa. But as Sri Vinayaka Sastri says-a-dser E ffite

i.e., results in own Bhukti will only be to some extent. When a

planet gives his entire results will be told in the slokas to follow.

eilHsqFq+ i q i er flqqEfrur; 1

irqrwiqynfr ffifr Eqvfitn-<'r { B o r r

The planets produce results characteristic to them in the

Bhuktis or Antardasas of planets related to them and similar to

them in characteristics and quality.

Notes-Whatever we have studied in the text upto now, we

can say that the Yogakaraka planet gives his greatly auspicious

results in his Dasa.

The Maraka, evil or inauspicious planet inflicts his Maraka

evil or inauspicious results in his Dasa. This is logically certain.

But the Dasa period is spread over a long period' The

auspicious, Yogakaraka, inauspicious, Maraka etc. results then

cannot be possibe through out the long Dasa period. This Sloka

and Slokai yet to be studied form the delineation methods for

such intricacies.

Suppose Mars is a Yogakaraka for cartain Lagna but then

Mars cinnot show his greatly auspicious resultscontinuously in

his 7 years Dasa period. we have to fractionalise this period into

Bhuktis of various T|Ufi Su6nutmi and qq-*fr Sambandi planets

etc. of the Dasa lord Mars as is stressed in this Sloka. The clue for

qq-*fi and qqfr Hes in the verse-

Lag h u Parasa ri -J ataka Chand r i ka 105

ffid er{Snrr'd(llWhen our relatives and friends or people of our position and

capacity assemble at our home, we display our capacity and

stitus honouring and respecting them to our utmost ability and

when they leave, we return to our normal life course. Similarlyplanets display their results to fullest extent in their own Dasas

andBhuktiesof their (qrrxfr) Sambandhiand (€qfi) Sadharmiplanets.

Now who are 3il-Ff{IE-*fr and qqfr planets. qc{-Sq-{fi , Atma-

sambandhi are those planets, who are friends or both of ihem

are debilitated or both of them are exalted. The Sun and the MoorU

the Sun and Mars, the Sun and Jupiter, Mars and Jupiter, Mercuryand Venus and Venus and Saturn are friends. Therefore, they are

Atma-sambandhis. venus and saturn are fast friends i.e., in chartswhere Saturn is a Kendra lord, Venus is also a Kendra lord andwhere Venus is a Trikona lord, Saturn is also a Trikona lord.

Sadharmis are the planets with the same character' Charactermeans what? Character means Yogakarkatwa, auspiciousness,inauspiciousness, neutrality, Maraka property, owning Kendrasowning Trikonas, owning Trishadayas and owning the 2nd and12'h house. The lords of one unit are Sadharmis' Sadharmis dueto houses are -

(i) The lords of Lagna and 7th houses,

(ii) the lords of 2nd and 12th houses,

(iii) the lords of 3'd and 1.1th houses,

(i") the lords of 4'h and 10'h houses,(") the lords of 5rt and 9'h houses, and

("i) the lords of 6'h and 8th houses are Sadharmis.

Thus, the classification of planets be done and results be

anticipated keeping the following points in mind-

(i) In a planet's Dasa, his own Bhukti does not fully yield


planet's results though he may be a Yogakaraka or Maraka.If the planet is a Yogakaraka his results due to this characterare not experienced though some ausPiciousness is there.Similarly a Maraka cannot kill but can pile up adversitiesto some extent.

(ii) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet his full results occur inthe Bhukti of other Yogakaraka i.e., auspicious and Atma-Sambandhi planet, who is related to the Dasa lord.

(iii) In the Dasa of a Maraka planet whenever there is Bhukti ofother Maraka or Atma-sambandhi planet death occurs, ifthe longevity span expires, otherwise very evil results arecertain to occur.

(i") In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet, in the Bhukti of aMaraka planet and vice-versa, mixed results occur whichare neither auspicious nor inauspicious. This point has beendiscussed extensively under the notes on Sloka L9.

(") [n these Bhuktis of planets whichever Bhukti lord is most

intimate to the Dasa lord under the pretext of the terms IIelfr

Sadharmi and eTrarfsq--efr Atma-sambandhi that planet'sBhukti will exclusively give Yogakaraka or Maraka resultsleaving the other Bhuktis next in preferential order e.g. -

Yogakaraka's Dasa + Strong Yogakaraka's Bhukti = greatauspiciousness.

Maraka's Dasa + Strong Maraka's Bhukti = deadlyinauspicious results.

Yogakaraka's Dasa + Maraka's Bhukti = Mixed results.

Thus, a balance has to be maintained in results of Dasa andBhukti relationships. Under the notes on Slokas 1"8 and 1"9 it wasmade clear that an ordinary Bhukti that is sandwitched betweentwo auspicious or two inauspicious Bhuktis will give resultsrespectively in accordance to the Bhuktis adjacent to it.

Bhukti Lord Neutral in characteristics to Dasa lord-

FdN qvrnrq1@tr{trF,-dqurfr {RftT:tE}1tl

Lagh u Parasa ri -J ataka Ch and ri ka 107

The learned should depict discriminatively the results of

Bhuktis of planets who are not related and are of contrary

characteristics (Viruddha-dharmi) to the Dasa lord in accordancewith their above natures.

Notes-All the planets can be classified in two categories

according to their relation with the Dasa lord-

(i) Related planet(ii) Unrelated planet

These can be further classified into three categories:

(i) With same character (Sadharmi)(ii) With contrary character (Asadharmi)

(iii) Neturalcharacteristically (Anubhaya-dharmi)

Elaborating these more explicitly-

Sadharmis are:AYogakaraka to othere Yogakaraka, an auspicious planet to

other auipicious planet, a neutral to other neutral, a Maraka to

other Maraka and an inauspicious to another inauspicious planet.

Viruddha-dharmi or Asadharmi are:A Yogakaraka and an inauspicious planet, an auspic-ious and

inauspicious, an auspicious and evil, a Yogakaraka and Maraka

and an auspicious and Maraka planet.

Anubhaya-dharmis are:A Maraka planet and an inauspicious planet, an inauspicious

and neutral and a Maraka and a neutral planet.

Following table shows the results-

108 taghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika

If a Trikona lord is unrelated to a Trishadaya loid tlrt'n in

Tiikona lord's Dasa, the Trishadaya lord's Bhukti will give results

according f6 sTTrf[urdl i.e., according to the nature of two lords,

the results will be mixed results, more of the stronger planet.

If a Trishadaya lord is related to a Tiikona lord or a Tiikonalord is related to the 8,h lord then in the Dasa of TrikOna lord andBhukti of Trishadaya lord or 8ft lord there will be very fewTrikona lord's results and mixed results will be there becausethe Trishadaya lord is not a Kendra lord. Similar will be the

results in the Dasa of Tiishadaya lord and Bhukti of Trikona lord

i.e., initially good results and bad later on or vice-versa.

In the Dasa of Yogakaraka and the Bhukti of unrelated

Anubhaya-dharmi initially there will be auspicious results first

and later mixed or neutral results.

In the Dasa of Maraka and theBhukti of unrelated AnubhayaDharmi, first there will be inauspicious results and later mixedor neutral results.

According to this text all the results of Dasas and Bhuktis

depend on relationships, characteristics of planets and Sdquqdt

i.e. tne result which is arrived at by the judicious application of

principles.

Results of Kendra and Trikona lord's Dasa Bhuktis-

F{vnqiffi1adiffi: Iyrqtffi(msfr aqr * +{ss+{ cTqirFtll32ll

AKendra lord produces auspiciousresults inhis Dasa and in a

Trikona lord's Bhulti, if both are related. similarly a Tiikona lord

produces auspicious results inhis Dasa and Kendra lord's Bhukti,

ir uott ur. t-"lut.d. If both are blemished and related feeble

auspicious results occur and not related inauspicious results occur.

Notes-The relation of Kendra and Tiikona lords produce

auspicious results. This is undoubtedly true. The Dasa of one

Yogikaraka and Bhukti of another Yogakarakl g:-ptoductiveof lreatly auspicious results certainly. Kendra is Vishnu-sthanawh"ile Trikona is Lakshmi-sthana, therefore Yoea of Vishnu and

Lag h u Pa rasa ri -J ata ka C h and r i ka 109

Lakshmi bestows every thing auspicious in this material world.

If the Kendra lord and Tiikona lord both are unblemished

then it is the Yoga of top order. Here unblemished means the

other signs of the two lords do not fall in inauspicious houses.

By own-ing inauspicious houses both lose Yoga producing

cipacity to a great extent. The word evil is more appropriate for

c[tl-1[.-d Kendra lord.

An evil Kendra lord in his Dasa and unblemished Trikona

lord,s Bhukti bestows auspiciousness. who is an evil Kendra

lord? Jupiter, Venus and Mercury if become Kendra and

Trishadaya or 8th lords at the same time then they are-termed as

evil Kendra lords. This evil is more with these benefics due to

Kendradhipatya Dosha. If Saturn and Mars are suchevil Kendra

lords then their evil is not of the order of benefics because no

Kendradhipatya Dosha evil occurs to saturn and Mars. In this

sloka the word crq-ff, or evil applies only to Kendra lords'

For Trikona lords who become Trishadya lords or 8ft lord at

the same time, the word qdq or blemished is more appropriate.

An evil Kendra lord and blemished Tiikona lord cannot produce

auspiciousness in their respective Dasa Bhr*ti.

This has been discussed earlier under Sloka 15 of this text.

Discriminatively we can conclude-

(t If only malefic Kendra lord gets relatcd with unblemishedTrikona lord, they will be greatly auspicious in their Dasa

Bhukti. The word unblemished indicates that the planet

should not additionally be lord of inauspicious houses'

(ii) If a malefic planet owning a Kendra is further eviled by

owning an inauspicious house or a such benefic Kendra lor':

is reht6d to an unblemished Tiikona lord then also the lebdlt't

will be geatly auspicious but less than those at (i)'

(iii) If only a malefic Kendra lord is related with a Trikona lc. d

which is blemished by owning an inauspicious house, theresults are similar to those at (ii).

Here ownership of inauspicious houses only reduces the

intensity of Yoga. Th" Yoga is basically generated on account of

relationship. Other planetary debilities like combustion, enemy


sign placement, debilitation etc. are the pri,me factors thatadversely affect planet's ability to do any good and the Yoga isalmost d-estroyed in that case. In this text we are only concernedwith the behaviour of planets due to house lordships in theirDasas and Bhuktis.(i") If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are blemished and

are related then very ordinarily auspicious results willoccur in their respective Dasa-Bhukti.

(v) If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are unblemished and

are unrelated then also ordinarily auspicious results will

occur in their respective Dasa-Bhukti. These results willnot be due to the relationship but simply for not beingblemished.

("i) If one of the Kendra or Trikona lord is blemished and bothare unrelated then auspicious results are meagre ratheralmost nil in their respective Dasa-Bhukti.

(vii) If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are blemished andare not related then the results will be inauspicious in theirrespective Dasa-Bhukti, there can be no doubt about it-

Example-In the chart hereunder Venus and Jupiter are

conjunct in the Lagna. The 9'h lord Jupiter is blemished being the

5'h lord while Venus is endowed with the evil of Kendradhipatya

very feebly auspicious results will occur in their respective Dasa-Bhukti.

Blending of Yogakaraka and Maraka Dasa-Bhuktis-

silTrnfr $r+qrr*'gF*TglqsrqFil iFrrtlzt i6-EIVt: aTQTakrtt:t33ll

vJcnr q rrtr*{ ffi +q?Frfrun{tts4tlIf Rajayoga commences in the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet

and in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet, this Bhukti only makesone famous due to authority gained but comforts of authority inreal terms accrue in Bhukti of evil planet. Relation between theDasa and Bhukti lords is essential.

Similarly, if in a Yogakarka planet's Dasa, the Bhukti is of arelated auspicious planet, the Rajayoga results are considerablylarge.

In a Yogakaraka planet's Dasa, in the Bhukti is of an unrelatedauspicious planet, the Rajayoga results are ordinary and no Yogaresults are experienced in particular. The reverse also holds goodthe same way.

Notes-There are three categories of planets:

1.. Auspicous or Yogakaraka

2. Inauspicious or the 8th, Trishadaya and Maraka lords.

3. Neutral or the 2"d and 12'h lords.

A planet can be Karaka and Maraka at the same time. Then inthis planet's Dasa initially in the Bhuktis of auspicious planetsYogaresults are experienced and in the Maraka Bhukti later evil resultsoccur. But in that Maraka Bhukti too initially the results are auspicous.It is only the later part of the Bhukti when Maraka results occur.

Full results of a Yogakaraka Dasa cannot occur in one Bhuktiexclusively but the Bhuktis of the related inauspicious planetsalso contribute for some of the results. According to Sloka 19,exclusive results only occur in an inauspicious Bhukti if the Yogadoes not commence in a Maraka planet's Bhukti and this is

112 Lagh u Pa rasari'J ataka C h an d r i ka

possible only when Maraka is not related to the Yogakaraka

results will begin to fructilfy. If the earlier Bhukti would have

been of a relai-ed inauspicious planet then Yogakaraka results

would have begun to iructify with a little more intensity. A

serialisation of v:arious Dasa-dhuktis results can be of benefit in

understanding these intricacies in a systematic way:

(i) Yoga results happen exclusively in the Dasa of a Yogakaraka\ /

pliret and inthe Bhukti of another relatedYogakaraka and

the results are considerably lessened, if both are not related

to each other.

can commence in the Bhukti of any of these related

planets.

(iii) If the Rajayoga commences in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet

the resuitiniintensity is not really appreciable rather it can

be said that the native is recognised and honoured as a

personality without any maj91 gains'.It can be like the

honour and respect a would be winning candidate

(i.r) According to our text the next Bhukti which prgvides some

kind of niajor gains as the results of Yogakaraka planet is

the Bhukti of a"related inauspicious planet in the Dasa of

Yogakaraka planet. But Susloka Sataka a classic on Dasa

results is variant here.

3T|-{E$ {rw}'rs qrqqr|s,,5Ftr5t

rTdq q q+ffql ffifiiswdrqqrorr

Lag h u Parasa ri -Jataka Chand rika ; .113

This classic, ascribes the same kind of results to be shown by

the related inauspicious and Maraka planets through the term

qqrTrcfigtffS used in the Sloka.

The inauspicious planets are the 8th lord, the Tiishadaya lords

and benefic Kendra lords in the reducing order'

The Marakas are less Yoga producing than the Trishadaya

lords, if related to a Yogakaraka.

(to) Therefore the Yogakaraka results of the Dasa lords are

experienced in th;Bhuktis of related various Bhukti lords

in the ascending order thus :

(a) The least in related Maraka's Bhukti'

The Bhukti of an auspicious (Trikona) planet and a malefic

Kenclra lord will be almost identical in results'

Uptonowwehavetakenuptheresul tsof re la tedBhukt ilords. Now we take up the results of unrelated Bhukti lords in

the Dasa of a Yogakaraka Planet.

("i) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka- planet, the Bhukti of an

unrelated auspicious planet will not be neutral but will give

some auspicious turrltr. If this Bhukti falls between the

two Yoga producing Bhuktis then it will not be obstructive

(vii) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet, the Bhukti of an'

, bad results i.e., ihe tesuitr will be of mixed character. This

, has been discussed under Sloka 31' exhaustively. If the

(viii) Similarly, the Bhukti of unrelated Maraka planet will

function according to tF"tTkfluq or strength acquired by the' Bhukti lord due to occupation of sign, house etc. and the

results will almost be of mixed type.

(ix) Likewise in the Dasa of Maraka, inauspicious or auspiciousplanet, the results in the Bhuktis of Yogakaraka planets bedeciphered.

(x) In a Maraka planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of another relatedMaraka is dreadful, the Bhukti of a related inauspiciousplanet is a little less dreadful and the Bhukti of a relatedauspicious planet is neutral.

(xi) Similarly, in an inauspicious planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of arelated Maraka is adverse, that of a related auspicious planetis fairly good and that of Yogakaraka planet is auspicious.

(xii) In the Dasa of an auspicious planet, the Bhukti of a relatedYogakaraka is extremely auspicious, the Bhukti of anauspicious planet is auspicious ancl the Bhukti of a relatedMaraka is neutral or gives mixed results.

Example-In the chart hereunder the Dasa of the Moon startedon 13-10-1989. In the Moon's Dasa, Moon's Bhukti was insignificant.

In the Moon's Dasa and Mars Bhukti he took up a new Projectin hand and accomplished it. Mars is a Tiishadaya lord in ownhouse and aspecting the Dasa lord. His earning were goodenough in this period.

It will not be unwise to consider the relationships told in

"Phala Deepika" as those seem to work fairly.

Being in sign exchange, occupying the same sign, inaspect to each other, being in a Kendra to each other and beingin Trikona to each other are the five kinds of relationships.

The Moorls Dasa and Jupiter's Bhukti was auspicious forhim. Jupiter though a Maraka but being in the LOth housein own sign acted more as 10ft lord and he gained by someimports.

Saturn s Bhukti was not good and was troublesome for Saturuis debilitated.

Mercury's Bhukti was fairly auspicious as Bhukti lord is inthe th house but not related to Dasa lord therefore the resultswere of Mercury's lordship.

Ketu's Bhukti was neutral as both display neutralcharacter.

In Moon's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti (5'h lord) a Yogakarakathe native brought his elder son in business and started a newmanufacturing unit. The results were predominantly of Venus(a Yogakaraka).

In the Sun Bhukti the results were not good as the Sun is aTrishadaya lord and the native was penalised by govt. agenciesfor some misappropriations. He had to invest for the needs ofthe new project undertaken in Venus Bhukti.

During the last seven years of the Moon's Dasa, transit ofSaturn over the key planets hampered the results considerablyas the Moon, the Dasa lord is a neutral planet.

Next Bhukti is of related Mercury (a Kendra and Tiikona lord).

The Dasa lord venus is auspicious and the Bhukti lord Mercury

is a Rajayogakaraka, therefore according to Sloka 34' the results

will be gtuitty auspicious. Next Bhukti is of Ketu, who acts as

10,h houie lord and is conjunct with Trishadaya and Maraka lords

Mars and the Moon. Ketu is unrelated with Venus according to

the rules of this text. Therefore in Venus Dasa, Ketu Bhukti will

If both the above planets are unrelated even then auspicious

In auspicious planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of a neutral planet

if the Maiaka is stronger by sign placement, exaltation etc. then

Maraka results are somewhat prominent'

All the conditions have been discussed in earlier slokas, then

what was the need for this sloka? Perhaps the propounder of

the text wants to use this sloka for Maraka planets who gain

Yogakaraka results occur in the Bhukti of Yogakaraka. This seensto be possible only when the Bhukti lord is extremely powerfulby sign, house etc. that he is able to produce his resultspredominantly. The transit of benefics over the Maraka Dasalord canalso induce such situations when theYogakaraka Bhuktilord finds occasion to do his work as the Dasa lord has beenhandcuffed of his evil by benefic transit. A prisoner finds hisoccasion to escape only when the guards are not alert or busysome other way.

Such results are also possible when the Dasa lord and Bhuktilord are Atma-sambandhi as told earlier.

ln Dasa-Bhukti results, Dasa lord is the presiding officer andBhukti lords are his subordinates, who are seldom independentto bestow their own results.

Rahu-Ketu, if placed in Kendra or Trikona are not related toany planet then in their own Dasa and Bhukti or Antardasa ofYogakarakas give Yogakaraka results according to the Bhuktilords.

Notes-Rahu-Ketu are shadowy planets and function totallyaccording to the house they occupy, if not conjunct to any otherplanet. If Rahu-Ketu are solitarily present in a Trikona they willfunction as Tiikona lords and in a Kendra, the function will be ofa Kendra lord. Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' says:

According to Muni Parasara, if Rahu is in a Kendra in Aries,Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo, Capricorn or Gemini, it is Rajayoga-karaka.

The words sTgq*ir d:qfd( inSloka means that Rahu-Ketu ifbe not related to any Yogakaraka are productive of auspiciousresults in their own Dasa and Bhukti of a Yogakaraka, whenplaced in auspicious houses.

The word 3l-{IEf*I means no relation. If Rahu-Ketu are placedin a Kendra or Trikona and do not associate with a Kendra orTrikona lord would definetely mean that they areunrelated. Willthey be considered related if conjunct a Kendra or Trikona lordin that Kendra or Trikona? In this context earlier said rule has tobe followed :

Tr{Tr-d.rdqrewr<rnAtrwgdi.e., they will function for the lord they are conjunct with. In

other words, Rahu-Ketu conjunct with a Kendra or Trikona lordwill function as if Kendra lord is in a Kendra or Trikona lord isin a Trikona. To produce Yoga results, the relation betweenKendra and Trikona lords is required which is absent here. Thissituation is like, no relation between Kendra and Trikona lordsand in this context they will be ineffective srerqq for Yoga resultsin their Dasa-Bhukti as Sri Vinayaka Sastri says-

Though the results will not be like Rajayoga but still theresults will be auspicious.

Conclusively, we can state that Rahu-Ketu in Kendra-Trikonahouses if do not form any relation with auspicious planets forgiving auspicious results; they should not be related to

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of unrelated

auspicious planet is productive of inauspicious or evil results.

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related

auspicious planet is prbductive of mixed (auspicous and

inauspicious, both) results.

Lag h u Pa ras ari -J ataka C h and ri ka

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related

Yogakaraka planet is productive of mixed results'

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of unrelated

Yogakaraka planet is productive of extremely inauspicious

results.

Notes-who are the inauspicious planets? The lords of the

8,h, L1,h, 6.h and 3'd houses are inauspicious planets in the reducing

order. Then are lesser inauspicious planets, Jupiter, Venus,

benefic associated Mercury and the strong Moon as Kendra lords

again in the reducing order. Thus the 8'h house lord is the greatest

inauspicious or evi l planet while the Moon is the least

inauspicious Planet.If the Dasa lord is an inauspicious planet then in his Dasa-

(i) The Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is inauspicious

or evil.

(ii) The Bhukti of related auspicious planet is productive of

mixed results because the Dasa lord and Bhukti lords are

of contrary characteristics. In other words the relation will

tone down the maleficence of the Dasa lord and the Bhukti

lord will be able to bestow some of his results. other

strengths of the two lords like exaltation, Varga strength

are instrumental here in cleciding the results i.e., if the Dasa

lord is stronger of the two planets then inauspicious results

will dominate and if the Bhukti lord is stronger, he will

show his results a little more, resultantly the mixed results.

(iii) The Bhukti of unrelated Yogakaraka planet is productive

of highly inauspicious results because Yogakaraka will not

be able to influence and mould the Dasa lord'

In this context Sri Vinayaka Sastri "Belala" says that the Dasa

lord is like a sovereign king and the Bhukti lord is his subordinate

courtier, who has to follow king's orders. If the king is cruel or

evil, the subordinate courtier though of humble disposition,

obeys the king's cruel orders for the fear of insult and humiliation

due to disobedience. If the subordinate is extremely humble and

noble (like a Yogakaraka planet) then he is so much duty

121

rrii


conscious that without the least application of his mind he will

follow king's orders in toto. This conditiin arises when the two

planets are unrelated or there is corirmunication gap between

the king and subordinate.

If the communication is there i.e., the king gives an ear to the

advice of subordinate or the subordinate is in a position to

ammend the orders, then he will be able to implement it with

some favour for the masses. This condition arises when the Dasa

lord and the Bhukti lord are related.

(i") The Bhukti of related Yogakaraka planet is productive of

mixed results which are somewhat more auspicious and

less inauspicious.

(") The Bhukti of neutral planets (the 2'd and 12s house lords)

is productive of somewhat inauspicious or evil results in

consonance with the characteristics of the Dasa lord but

less than as stated in (i), as the Bhukti lord either related or

unrelated tries to maintain his neutral character'

("i) The Bhukti of an inauspicous planet is definitely productive

of greatly inauspicious results rather more if the two are

relited tiran when they are unrelated. The 5h, 8s or L2s

position of the Dasa and Bhukti lords to each other

aggravates the results in this case.

In these two Slokas the results of various Bhuktis in the Dasa

of inauspicious planet is being discussed. In view of the above

discussion we can deduce in general terms-

If the Dasa lord and the Bhukti lord are related and Dasa lord is

auspicious then the auspicious results are promoted or demoted

proportionately and characteristically to the Bhukti lord'

If the Dasa lord is inauspicious and related to the Bhukti lord

then inauspicious results increase or decrease according to the

character of the Bhukti lord.

Purely inauspicious planets are the 8h house lord (if not in

the 8th), 'Trishadaya lords and Marakas associated with

inauspicious planets.


Lesser inauspicious planets are of two types (i) the strongerare the Kendra lords having their other sign identical withinauspicious houses and (ii) Trikona lords having their othersign identical with inauspicious houses.

Auspicious planets are those that do not have their othersign identical with Trishadaya or 8ft houses.

Here it should be clear that in the Dasa of purely inauspiciousplanet, the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is productiveof inauspicious results. If the Dasa lord is blemished auspiciousplanet then in the Bhukti of related auspicious planet, the resultsare auspicious.

These two Slokas are strictly for inauspicious planets ivhocannot be Karaka or Yoga producing unCer any circumstances.A table of such planets given hereunder will be of use for ourreaders.

The special rule quoted here is that the Maraka Dasa lord if

unrelated to inauspicious Bhukti lord causes death in this Bhukti.This is because both are characteristically similar planets.

This also resounds that Maraka Dasa lord in the Bhukti of arelated inauspicious planet is a doubtful killer. There are twoMarakas, one is a Kendra, 7th house lord while the other is the

2nd house lord.

r No 7tr' lord can be a Trikona lord therefore he cannot beauspicious and without being related to a Trikona he cannot be

Yoga producing. Therefore in the Dasa of such a Maraka planet,theBhukti of a Trikona lord is inauspicious as is said-

In Leo andAquarius Lagna charts the 2nd house lords Mercuryand Jupiter are inauspicious being additionally the lLth houselords. Ih their Dasa, the Bhukti of unrelated Trikona (auspicious)Iord is also inauspicious.

The auspicious or inauspicious, whatever results saturn and

Venus are to give in their Dasa Bhukti will give in each other's

Bhukti.

Notes - In Venus-Dasa and Saturn Bhukti, the results

pertaining to venus occur while in saturn Dasa and venus

, Bhukti, the results pertaining to Saturn occur.

upto now we have studied results of Dasas and Bhuktis

depending on similar characteristics, relationship utl6 weil:llluq

I Phalanugunya. This Sloka is different from these properties.' Venus and Saturn are not only friends but for Saturn's

, Lagnas, Capr icorn and Aquar ius, Venus becomes a

Rajiyogakutulu while for Venus's Lagnas, Taurus and Libra'

Saiuin becomes a Rajayogakaraka. ARajayogakaraka is a single

planet owning Soth a Kencira and a Trikona. We know that the

, Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 127

r relation between a Kendra and Trikona lord is productive of, greatly auspicious results i.e., Rajayoga. A single planet owningthese two houses is himself a Rajayogakaraka. 'Uttara Kalamrita'(6/29-30) a cl.ssic is more descriptive about this Sloka.

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

i If both the planets are weak and are placed in 6th, 8th or 12thhouse to each other or are with the 6th, 8th or L2th house lordsthen they bestow all comforts, auspiciousness and luxuries. Ifone of them owns auspicious houses and the other inauspiciousthen also both produce good results. If both the planets own evilhouses then also they are productive of good in each other's Dasa-Bhukti.

The rule told in this Sloka of this text is true in principle andwhatever is said in "Uttara Kalamrita" *uy seem to be vague.But what has been said in "Ijttara Kalamrita" has stood to thetest of time and has proved efficacious in many of the charts inpractical.

This Sloka seems to be applicable only when Saturn andVenus are not related i.e., when Saturn and Venus are unrelatedthen they give their results in each other's Dasa-Bhukti.

Example-The native of the following chart faced threedeaths in his family during Saturn's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti.In Saturn's Dasa, Venus's Bhukti commenced on 28th January

Example - In the chart of late Prime Minister smt. Indira Gandhi

under Sloka 39, Venus's Bhukti under Saturn's Dasa started on 30th

November \976 and, continued upto January 1980. During this

period she lost the elections and had to face insult and humiliation.'

Our text says that in Venus Bhukti results of Saturn will occur

if the two planets are not related. In Mrs. Gandhi's chart saturn

is Jeaary u.ril b"it g the 7s and 8h house lord. Saturn is also placed

in the iug.tu in in enemy sign. In Venus Bhukti, the results

pertaing to Saturn occurred.

Specific Rajayogas-

If the Lagna and the l.0e lords are in house exchange_or the

the"native born is famous and successful'

If the 9th house lord be in the L0'h house and the l"Oth house

lord be in the th house, the native born is famous and successful.

Notes-The Yoga or auspicious combination arises out of

the relation of Kenira and Trikona lords. The two Slokas under

discussion are about two very auspicious Yogas of first grade.

The Lagna is first Kendra as well as Trikona. Therefore Lagna

lord is f,imself a Rajayogakaraka. If this Lagna lordis related to

the 10ft house (strong-est Kendra) lord, a very Pow"erful Rajayoga

is caused. According to Sloka "5ggil.. q-g-Af ffgrfi qffi: " the

relation between ttre Kendra and Trikona lords is a first grade

auspicious combination or Yoga-and- a.moLg th::"^.jT" Yogas

formed by the Lagna and 10h lord and the th and Lo'h lords are

of superlitive degree. These two Yogas are called Rajayogas'

If the Lagna and 9ft lords exchange houses then also it is an

auspicious cJmbination but as Lagna ispredominantly a Tiikona,

theiefore this yoga does not fall under Rajayogas. For Gemini or

Sagittarius Lagnicharts if Mercury andJupiter occupy the Lagna-

or"10,n house-ihen it is a Rajayoga. For Taurus Lagna chart, if

saturn alone occupies the 9'h or L0th house then it is a Rajayoga.

129


The Rajayoga chart's native will be at the peak of his careerin theDasa and Bhukti of Rajayogakarakaplanets butif the DasaBhukti of such planets do not arrive in one's lifetime even thensuch a native is of higher strata of the society, enjoying prosperity.

Sri Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala'holds that the relationshipbetween the Kendra and Trikona lords has been talked of manytimes earlier in the text then what was the need to say the samething again in the concluding Sloka of the text.

According to Sri Betala Sastri the text actually suggests herefour specific Rajayogat as under:

The Lagna and 10ft lords be in the 10h house.tt tt tt tt tt tt ,t t,

Lagna.

The th and L0h lords be in the th house.tt tt tt tt ,, t, tt t,

\0lh

Sri Sastri f.rrther says that in this text no word is without apurpose and meaning and if something is said again thenit mustbe in some new pretext. Therefore Sri Sastri forwards hisinterpretation as above.

Actually there is no much contradiction between the twointerpretations as the Yoga causing planets are the same. Houseexchange is most powerful relation vide Sloka 14.

In Aries Lagna Saturn, Mercury and Venus are inauspicious.Jupiter and the Sun bestow auspicious results. The relation ofSaturn and Jupiter does not form auspicious combination orYoga. In this combination Jupiter produces evil rather. Venusdoes not become Maraka by simply owning Maraka housesthough he should be so. Saturn, Mercury and Venus becomeMarakas in the reducing order. Thus planets bestow auspiciousand inauspicious results for Aries Lagna natives and this shouldbe gathered from the learned.

Notes - In Aries Lagna charts Saturn owns the 10th and 1Lthhouses; Mercury, the 3rd and 6th and Venus, the 2nd and 7thhouses. Mars own the Lagna and Saturn, Mercury and Venusare not his friencls. Therefore these are inauspicious for AriesLagna. The Sun owns the 5th house (a Trikona) and Jupiter, the9th and 12th houses. The Sun and Jupiter are friendly to Mars.The Sun forms Yoga (auspicious combination) if in relation withSatum, as the 5th and 10th lords in house exchange. But such Saturnshould not be associated or aspected by inauspicious planets. Satum


should be alone or be aspected by auspicious planets'

12

1Aries tl

Lagna

For Aries Lagna, the Sun being a Trikona lord is very

auspicious.

Jupiter, the 9th and L2th houses lord is auspieious as the 9th

house lord.

A weak Moon being a Kendra lord is less blemished

according to Sloka 11. Therefore she is termed as auspicious.

saturn, a malefic becomes neutral owning the 10th house

but again becomes inauspicious for owning the 11th house.

Thereiore he is inauspicious according to Sloka 6'

Mercury is essentially inauspicious being a Trishadaya lord

according to Sloka 6.

venus is Maraka being the 2nd and 7th house lord and beingla Kenclra lord is further blemished. Therefore he is inauspicious

ancl death inflicting according to Slokas 7-I0.He is particularly

so, if related with other inauspicious planets'

]upiter being the lord of 12th house is also the 9th (a Trikona)

houselord. He does not produce Yoga in relation with saturn.

That is why they cannot produce ext reme Dharma-

Karmadhipatya Yoga by mere conjunction for two reasons:

saturn and Jupiter are neutral to each other. secondly Jupiter

owns the 12th house. So the rule qtcr(qqf{fri{il qtqr' {n6q4-d:

Lag h u Parasa ri -Jataka C h and ri ka 135

operates and Jupiter's results have to be according to thecharacteristics of Saturn with whom he is combined. The netconclusion is that extremely auspicious results cannot beexpected, as Saturn is finally inauspicious i.e., Llth house lord. trf

Jupiter is in the 10th and Saturn is in the 9th house, mme goodcan be expected for house exchange between the 9th and 10thhouse lords.

The reading in the Sloka 45, *fr : slfl-q E-{r srqK6sdT qlefi:

i.e., Venus does not kill even though classified as Maraka iserroneous and contradictory to the rules laid down earlier.Perhaps it is clue to erasing and corruption of the text. Venus is avery strong Maraka if placed in the 7th or 2nd house and/or inrelation to inauspicious house lords.

One thing that is tobe kept in mind is thatin B.P.H.S Parasaraclearly warns at the end of the chapter.

erqqfr grdtq rq$+t tqF{iiq *rtFc+t' e we era{ vsmfr q dFratn

The results are to be told after duly considering other Yogaslike Nabhasa Yogas etc. present in the horoscope. These are tobe understood from bigger works like Brihat fatak4 Saravali,

fataka Parijata etc.

The evil that arises from Saturn-Jupiter combination is dueto Jupiter owning the L2th house and Saturn owning the L1thhouse. So the Rajayoga results almost get spoilt or may be veryfeeble or may not be even felt at all.

Fruitful Yogas:-

1. Sun + Mars,

2. Sun + Moon,

3. Sun + Venus, here Venus is a Maraka and evi ldue to Kendradhipatya Dosha. But st i l l the Yoga isfunctional as only Venus is spoilt while the Sun is purelyauspicious.

5. Mars + Jupiter

,, 6. Jupiter + Moon, only if tl're Moon is weak, thus a malefic.

the Moon.

Spoilt Yogas : -' 1". Jupiter + Saturn, both sPoilt.

2. Jupiter + Venus, both spoilt, Jupiter due to conjurrction.

In some texts, the first part of the Sloka 45, reads, tftil*q qt{q

For Taurus Lagna, Jupiter, Venus and the Moon areinauspicious or evil planets. Saturn and Mercury are auspicious.Saturn alone is Rajayogakaraka. Jupiter and other inauspiciousplanets can become Marakas.

Notes-Some editions hold grtr vrF+ffi i.e., Saturnand

I {e{g<:t Therefore, according to Slokas 6 and 9 Jupiter is deathinflicting.

For Taurus Lagna, Venus owns the Lagna (a Kendra andTiikona) but as it is 1st of the Trikonas, hence a weak Trikona.Venus also owns the 6th house, a Trishadaya house. The blemish

2Taurus 72

Lagna


of 6th house lordship, a 2'd Trishadaya is more than theauspiciousness of the Lagna. Therefore, he is inauspicious. Thuswe see that the blemish is more than the auspiciousness. HenceVenus is declared inauspicious or evil and a Maraka, if associatedwith other Marakas for Thurus Lagna.

Saturn is the single owner of the 9th (a Trikona) and 10th (aKenclra) houses and according to Sloka 7, he alone isRajayogakaraka planet. I f Saturn gets related with otherauspicious planets then he creates a greatly auspiciouscombination.

The Moon owns the 3rd house a Trishadaya house. Whethershe is strong or weak, she is inauspicious in both the cases,particularly when related with other inauspicious or Marakaplanets.

Mercury owning the 2nd ( a Maraka) and 5th (a Trikona)houses is auspicious vide Sloka 6. Mercury is auspicious whileSaturn is Rajayogakaraka.

There is difference of opinion in regard to the Sun, who ownsthe 4th house. By owning a quadrant, the Sun a malefic leaveshis maleficence and becomes neutral. Leaving maleficene doesnot mean that the Sun becomes auspicious. Mercury is auspiciousbeing the 5th house lord. Some texts have adopted Ert vrvnqdrThe spellingY|Sfrgd is not correct grammatically. For this reason,

{d {rfl-Ed qd nas been accepted here. Some texts even have,rs"6 vtfiTfEflErtt But then, the Yoga of the Sun and Saturn is notas powerful as that of Mercury and Saturn for the above reasonsand also as the Sun and Saturn happen to observe enemitybetween thern.

Mars owns the 7th house (a Maraka-sthana and Kendra) Marsbeing a malefic turns neutral owning the 7th house a Kendra.The blemish of quadrangular ownership does not occur to Mars.He is again neutral by owning the 12tl'r house. Therefore Mars isleft with little Maraka property. Thus, for Taurus Lagna Mars isnot considered endowed with specific Maraka characteristics.


For Taurus Lagna fupiter is direly evil, next is Venus and

then the Moon. The classical Marakas are Mars and Mercury. If

Jupiter, venus and the Moon are related with classical Marakas,

it "n

tt,"y are ahead in causing death than the classical Marakas.

Fruitful Yogas:-

1. Venus + Saturn, only Venus is blemished'

2. Sun + Mercury.

3. Sun + Saturn4. Saturn + Mars, only Mars is blemished'

5. Saturn alone is Rajayogakaraka and greatly auspicious.

6. Saturn + Mercury, best Yoga for Taurus Lagna vide

Sloka 20.

SpoiltYogas:-1. Venus + Mercury, Mercury as the 2"d hOUse lord acquires

the 6th lord's blemish of venus. Therefore the Yoga is spoilt

as both the planets are blemished'

2. Mars + Mercury, both Mercury and Mars acquires the

Maraka blemistr,of each other. Therefore the Yoga is spoilt

as both the Planets are sPoilt.

Example - Here is the chart of famous singer Lata

For Gemini Lagna Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are evil orinauspicious. Venus alone is auspicious. The combination orrelation of Jupiter and Saturn produces the same results as incase of Aries Lagna.

In the other reading instead of Jupiter, the Moon has beenincluded. The Moon being the 2nd house lord is a Maraka andinauspicious. Moreover Mercury the Lagna lord observesenenrity with the Moon. According to'our reading Venus isYogakaraka being friendly to the Lagna lord Mercury. Somebelieve that the greatest fortune Jupiter cannot be inauspiciousbeing a Kendra lord therefore he has been omitted from the listof inauspicious planets in the other reading.

Some copies of the text read as -

Here also they include the Moon in the list of inauspiciousplanets., Mars owns the 6th and 11th houses. So according to the rulerrtrqRrw-sFTFTr qR qTqs-iTIKI:, he becomes direly inauspicious orevil according to Sloka 6.

Jupiter owns the 7th and L0th houses. He acquire Maraka'property and Kendradhipatya Dosha particularly as lord of the 7thhouse. Therefore according to the rules propounded earlier, Jupiteris finally inauspicious and Maraka according to Sloka 7 and 10.

Venus is auspicious for Gemini Lagna as he owns the Sthhouse. He produces Rajayoga in conjunction with Mercury theLagna lord. Also in some versions following lines are found'

Mercury being the lord of the 4th (a Kendra) house is neutralbut he is auspicious being the Lagna (a Trikona) lord and hisconjunction or relation with Venus produces Rajayoga'

The Sun is inauspicious vide Sloka 6, being the 3rd house,lord, a Trishadaya lord.

Saturn is a blemished Tiikona lord for being also the 8th houselord. Saturn's relation with the Lagna lord Mercury producesRajayoga.

142 Lag h u Pa rasari -Jataka Chand ri ka

The combination of Jupiter and Saturn produces the sameresults as for Aries Lagna. Saturn owns the 8th and 9th houses.

Jupiter owns the 7th and L0th houses. As already stated :trffiflr+mn rrrenqrfi*fr zrRrild: nq*rqr*q q +f qqi ct:tt

If the lords of 9th and 10th houses also happen to own the8th and 11th houses, their relation will not lead to any Yoga.

We have another extra line in some editions-trafleril56 {fdr{ctc61 q sr+f€r

Though, the Moon owns the 2nd house, she does not becomea Maraka. The reason is perhaps the rule. r r$fldElsq1 Wfinqcmirr*(t ttre Sun and the Moon do not have the powerful evil natureidentical to the ownership of the 8th house. Similarly a lesserevil nature due to ownership of the 2nd house is not significantwith the Moon and the Sun. This seems to be the line ofagreement. But as has been told repeatedly, decisions regardinglongevity span can only be taken after careful calculation of thesame, based on Ayurdaya principles. Otherwise, one might gowrong. Very oftery the rules stated, do have many exceptions,which are not found mentioned. So, one should not boldly assertquoting lines from various classics indiscriminately. It is statedthat Saturn is not capable of killing the native. This is because,he happens to be Bhagyadhipati, the 9th house lord.

But in other versions, it is mentioned qrq' {IRt i.e., the Moondoes not kill. Since rules may be having exceptions, one shouldbe very cautious in applying them. One should consider thematter by different methods, like Gochara, Stellar position etc.and then decide.Fruitful Yogas :-

Saturn is Maraka as he owns 7th house (a Maraka house) and8th house an evil house. This way auspicious and inauspiciousresults shoulcl be understood for Cancer Lagna.

For Cancer Lagna, Mars owns the 5th and the 10th housesand becomes Yogakaraka according to Slokas 6 and 7. Accordingto Sloka 12, Mars becomes a Rajayogakaraka.

Jupiter owning the 9th house is auspicious but is blemishedfor owning the 6th house. But finally he is somewhat auspiciousas the 9th house is the strongest Tiikona.

Venus becomes blemished by owning a Kendra according toSlokas 7 and 10. Venus agian becombs inauspicious by owningthe 11th house according to Sloka 6.

Mercury is inauspicious for owning the 3rd house. Again byowning the 12th house, he gives results for the 3rd house.Therefore he is finally inauspicious.

Saturn is evil by owning the 8th house and a Maraka byowning the 7th house. Thus Saturn is Maraka and evil.

The Sun by owning the 2nd house (a Maraka-sthana) becornessimply neutral. The blemish of Maraka does not occur to theSun. Moreover he is friendly to the Lagna lord Moon.Fruitful Yogas :-

1. Moon + Mars, a greatly auspicious combination.2. Moon + )upiter, only Jupiter is blemished.3. Mars + Venus, only Venus is blemished.4. Mars + ]upiter, a greatly auspicious combination if Jupiter

5. Mars + Saturn, a feeble and low quality Yoga, due to eviland Maraka characteristics of Saturn.

To one born in Leo, Mercury and Venus are evi l orinauspicious; and Mars alone is purely auspicious. Thecombination of Mars and Venus alone will not produce Yoga orauspicious results. Mercury and otherinauspicious planets withcharateristics of Marakas turn out to be Marakas. In this way,the results for Leo Lagna are to be guessed by the wise.

In Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, the reading is drqg*rqfql:rTItfT: i.e., Mercury, Venus and Saturn are evil.

Mercury is positively inauspicious due to ownership of thellthhouse, aTlishadaya house. Mercury alsoowns the2nd house

Venus as the 10th lord turns neutral and again becomesinauspicious being a Trishadaya i.e.,3rd house lord. This hasbeen explained under Slokas 10 and 7 earlier. Moreover Venusalso observes enemity with the Lagna lord Sun.

Mars is a natural malefic but for Leo Lagna, he being the 9thlord (a Trikona) is auspicious and Yoga producing vide Sloka 6.Mars also owns the 4th (a Kendra) house. Therefore he leaveshis maleficence and becomes neutral. But having alreadyacquired auspiciousness as 9th lord, he predominantly is aYogakaraka

Jupiter owns the Sth house. So according to the rule:qd ffi 116l: {s1qq11: Sdt:, /trpiter should be auspicious.

But Jupiter owns the 8th house and this is why jupiter is not. mentioned auspicious in some versions. In B.P.H.S, we have a

reading which is parhaps the best one to be adopted.

dqUordqr: ertn: E$-qr6f: {lqr+at:t: So Mars, |upiter and the Sun are termed as auspicious. The Sunis lord of the Lagna, so he essentially is auspicious for Leo Lagna.

Jupiter-Venus conjunction cannot produce much good resultsas both are blemished moreover they are natural enemies of eachother. However there can be hope of some good results, if Jupiteris in the 10th house in lhurus and Venus occupies Sagittarius inthe 5th house. Thus both the planets will then function more asthe 5th and 1Oth house lords.

, Jupiter-Mars relation forms an auspicious combination andbestows greatly auspicious results. Jupiter is the only planetblemished due to the 8th house lordship. To bestow greatestauspicious results out of the relationship, Jupiter and Mars eithershould have an exchange of houses through the 4th and 5thhouses or through the 5th and 9th houses.


Similarly, Venus and Mars relationship can be of good, if itoccurs such as Mars occupies the 10th house in Thurus and venusoccupies Aries as the 9th house.

saturn owns the 6th house, so he is inauspicious. saturn alsoowns the 7th house a Maraka house, so he is also a Marakathough spared of the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha for beinga natural malefic. Moreovel, Saturn is also the enemy of theLagna lord sun. Therefore saturn is inauspicious and Marakafor Leo Lagna.

Fruitful Yogas:-1. Sun + Mars, best combination.2. Sun + Jupiter, only Jupiter blemished, therefore auspicious.3. Mars + Venus, only Venus Tiishadaya lord, hence godd.4. Mars alone is Yogakaraka because he himself owns a

Kendra as well as Trikona. The requirement of the yogai.e., relation between the Kendra and Trikona lord

-is

established.5. Mars + Jupiter, only Jupiter is blemished as the gth lord.

Spoilt Yogas :-1. Mars + Saturn, Saturn doubly afflicted and enemy of Mars.2. Jupiter + Venus, both blemished therefore yoga is spoilt.3. fupiter + Saturry both blemished, therefore yoga is spoilt.

I Mars owns the 3rd and 8th houses for Kanya Lagna. Bothare evil and inauspicious houses. Even association of auspiciousplanets cannot alter his characteristics and Mars remainsinauspicious as final order for Virgo Lagna.

Jupiter owns the 4th and 7th houses and as benefic planet heacquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and Maraka characteristics

owns the 2nd house. If he is placed in the 2nd house with otherinauspicious or Maraka planets, he is capable of killing the native.Venus alone will not kill this seems to be the intention behindthe line q 6fu qfurdr Perhaps this is because Venus is the 9th(Bhagyasthana) house lord and a friend of the Lagna lordMercury. He can ki l l the native only when other evi l orinauspicious planets induce and misguidehimto usehis MarakaPowers.

Mercury, the Lagna lord is undoubtedly a Rajayogakarakaplanet as he owns Lagna, a Kendra as well as Tiikona at thesame time. Therefore, according to qrrf*5g-ar*q rrlor ffi,Mercury produces Rajayoga in relatiorr to Venus. Venus in the10th and Mercury in the 9th house, Venus in the Lagna andMercury in the 9th house and Venus in the Lagna and Mercuryin the 2nd are the various Yogas formed.

It is strange that both the readings are silent about Venus.Either they think Venus is neutral or he gives results accordingto associations as the readings were silent about Saturn underVirgo Lagna. Venus owns the Lagna and the 8th house. Someversions declare r1!: vamer*+ ffit g+(rtd i.e., Venus isneutral. Many celebratecl astrologers have found Venus givingundesirable results. In Sloka 9, it is said that Venus does not giveundesirable results. Pt. Rama Yatna Ojha and others declare thatVenus is auspicious only, if he is placed in the Lagna or 8th houseand is undesirable in other houses. Our experience also is likethis. This is perhaps due to the fact that when in Lagna hisauspiciousness as Trikona lord gets boosted, so is also when ownsign in the 8th house giving thurst to both the signs. His ownership

Lagh u Parasa ri'J ataka Ch and ri ka 155

of Lagna as Trikona lord cannot eradicate the dire blemish of 8th

housJ lord when in other houses. Only exception can be his

placement in own houses i.e', in the Lagna or the 8th house'

satum, a natural malefic owns the 4th house (a Kendra), thus

forgets his malefic nature and becomes neutral, again byowning

ttre"sttr (a Trikona) house he becomes auspicious. In- this way

Saturn becomes a Rajayogakaraka by owning the 4th and 5th

houses.

Mercury owns the 9th house (a Trikona). Therefore he is

auspicious. Rr rztr, house lord, he gives results according to

house, identicalwithhis other sign, whichis the9thhouse. Hence

Mercury gives auspicious results.

The Moon owns the 10th house and does not get blemished

if weak vide Sloka 1L. If she is in house exchange with the 9th

lord Mercury or both of them are conjunct in the 9th or 10th

house, they give RajaYoga results.

The sun, owns the 11th house, a Trishadaya house. Therefore,

the Sun is inausPicious.

Mars is a malefic planet. He owns the 7th house and the 2nd

house. He is a Maraka planet. Kendradhipatya Dosha does not

occur to him. Therefore, he is weak Maraka' That is why, Mars is

not considerecl a killer. However, Mars gives inauspicious results.

For Sagittarius Lagna only Venus is inauspicious. Mars andthe Sun are auspicious. Combination of the Sun and Mercury

causes Rajayoga. Saturn is a Maraka, who kills. Venus and otherskill when they are in the capacity of a Maraka. Thus, the wise

should understand the results for one born under SagittariusLagna.

Notes-Some readings give Eri ffil But how can

Mercury be auspicious? Mercury becomes a Maraka and has theblemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha.

The Sun owns the 9th (a Trikona) house and Mercury ownsthe 10th house. The exchange of 9th and 10th house lordsproduces Rajayoga. Then, Mercury will predominantly be

functioning as the 10th house lord and according to rule.

Even if the lords of Kendra and Tiikona houses have someblemish (only one of them) they do become Yogakaraka through

mutual relationship.


For Saturn there are various readings-

All these declare that Saturn does not kill. Saturn as 2nd houselord is definetely a Maraka. Again, Saturn owns the 3rd house, aTrishadaya house. Therefore, he is inauspicious or evil. [t isstrange, why all the versions say that Saturn does not kill. We donot agree to this as Saturn leads the army of Marakas, if he evenslightly gains that capacity.

The Sun owns the 9th (a Trikona) house. Therefore, he issurely auspicious.

Mars owns the 12th house, he gives results according to thehouse identical with his other sign Aries. Aries falls on the Sthhouse. Hence Mars is auspicious, owning a Trikona.

For Capricorn Lagna, Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are evil or

only Rajayogakaraka planet. The combination of Venus and

does not become Maraka. Mars and other inauspicious planets

endowed with Marakacharacteristics cause death. Thus, thewise

Mars is a natural malefic. He becomes neutral by owning the4th ( a Kendra) house. Again, Mars additionally owns the L1th(a Trishadaya) house. Thus, Mars finally becomes inauspiciousand gives evil results in his Dasa for Capricorn Lagna.

Venus owns the 10th house (a Kendra) and therefore becomesneutral. Again he owns a Trikona i.e. The 5th house. Bysimultaneously owning a Kendra and Trikona he is termedRajayogakaraka and gives all round success in his Dasa. He givegreatly auspicious results or Rajayogaphala, if he is related tothe 9th house lord Mercury.

Mercury owns the 9th (a Tiikona) house. Therefore, he isauspicious vicle Sloka 6. But being also the 6th (Irishadaya) houselord, he is inauspicious vide Sloka 6. This blemish of Mercuryvanishes away, if Mercury gets related with Venus, anotherTrikona lord. A great Yoga is created, if Mercury and Venusoccupy the L0th and 9th house respectively. This is calledDharmakarmadhipati Yoga. Here, Mercury and Venusexclusively behave and function as 9th and L0th house lords.

The Moon owning the 7th house is a Maraka. If the Moon isbright (strong) then as benefic, she additionally acquiresKendradhipatya Dosha and her Maraka characteristics get aboost. If the Moon is deficient in rays (weak) then she is simplya Maraka for his malefic nature.

The Sun owns the 8th house. Therefore, he is essentiallyinauspicious.

Notes-Jupiter is inauspicious vide Sloka 6 because he ownsthe 2nd (Maraka) house and 11th (Trishadaya) house. If heacquires killing powers to a great extent then he would surelybe the killer.

Mars owns the 10th house and as natural malefic owning aKendra leaves his maleficence and becomes neutral. Again byowning the 3rd (Tiishadaya) house, he becomes inauspicious.

Venus owrls the 4th (Kendra) house, hence neutral. Venusalso own the 9th (Trikona) house and becomes auspicious. Thus,Venus becomes single lord of a Kendra and a Trikona. Hence heis declared Rajayogakaraka.

If Venus occupies the L0th house and Mars is posited in the9th house, a great Rajayoga is produced for then the two planetsfunction as the 9th and 10th house lords in house exchange.

Mercury owns the 8th house therefore he is evil but then heis also the 5th (Trikona) house lord, hence auspicious.

InB.P.H.S (Jha'sedition). thelinetr.:rM tq: *-Bt+ {6+tfr:lappears. If Venus is placed in the 5th house and Mercury in the4th house, a Rajayoga is caused by the exchange of houses bythe 4th and 5th house lords. This also seems to be appealing.

that his Moolatrikonisign falls in the 8th house and he might

Saturn and Mercury are declared to be evil and inauspiciousand hence are to be selected as Marakas. Saturn owns the L1thand 12th house, therefore he is inaus;ricious. According to therule der-ctt-fl q qrqlil qyry fretc 6--cfd( f{6f,r grqt=dfr: etc.,Saturn's death inflicting power is clear.

The Moon only becomes the 5th (Tiikona) lord therefore heis undoubtedly auspicious.

Moon + Jupiter's Yoga is greatly auspicious combination andso is Mars + Jupiter's. Tiikonas are the houses of merit and allthe Tiikona lords in this chart are in the Lagna.

In Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra after declaring the results ofvarious Lagna following Sloka appears-

Thus, counting from the Lagna the evil and auspicious natureof the planets arising out of their rulership of various houseshave been told. But other aspects such as Nabhasa yogas etc. arealso to be considered. Then only the results should be proclaimed.

Readers are thus reminded that the placement, combinations,aspects of the planets are all very inportant features to beconsidered while judging the auspiciousness and evil. These areavailable generally in all the texts of Hindu astrology. What hasbeen told in this work is an addition to decide characteristics ofvarious planets according to their house rulership. It must beclear that Parasara does not want the rules stated here to be usedverbatin without considering the placement etc. In the judgementof Marakas etc one has to exercise utmost caution in every respect.

Thus the wise man shoulcl understand the good and badresults in respect of the twelve houses. The results in respect ofthe twelve houses from the Lagna onwards should be carefullycombined together.

In this way a wise man should understand the results of theplanets in a horoscope in every possible way. The combinationof the lords of Trikona and Kendra houses are capable ofproducing all types of auspicious results.

Notes-The horoscope gives details about every aspect ofone's life. For results of one's brother, consicler the 3rd house asLagna. The 9th therefrom will be the Bhagyasthana for thebrother. The 7th therefrom would denote his wife. The 10ththerefrom, his profession. Similarly we can apply the rules ofYogakarakas etc. The same can be repcated with other houses ofthe horoscope and information can be gained about every aspectof life.

Some are born under benefic combination of planets. Andthey remain fools without experiencing any results of thosecombinations like the ponies of Kashmir carrying bundles ofsaffron. The reason is, what can the benefic combinationsproduce, if their periods do not operate?

Notes-The ponies of Kashmir carry heavy loads of saffronon their back. They experience only the weight of the bundles,of little use is the fragrance of saffron to them.

Similarly, if the Dasas of the planets causing the yogas donot operate in one's life time, those Yogas prove futile.

I DASA CALCULATIONS

The Vimsottari Dasa system is based on the Naksatras(asterisms) that are tr,r'enty seven in number and2lc Naksatrascover the elongation of each Rasi (sign). Elongation of eachNaksatra is 13o-20' having four charanas (legs) or sectors of 3o-20' each. Twenty seven Naksatras multipled by the elongation13o -20' give 360' of the Naksatra Mandal (Zodiac) or Rasi Chakra.These Naksatras are counted fromAswini which falls in the signAries (Mesha) from 0o to 13o-20'. The next one Bharani occupies13'-20' to 26o-40' in Aries. The last 3'-20' in Aries form the 1stleg of Krittika Naksatra. Thus, we see 1 + 1 + y4 = 21/4 Naksatrafall in a sign.

As told in the text, total cycle of years in Vimsottari or UduDasa is of 120 years. This comprises of Sun's 6 years, Moon's 1-0years, Mars's 7 years, Rahu's 1,8 years,Jupiter's 16 years, Saturn'sL9 years, Mercury's \7 years, Ketu's 7 yearsand Venus's 20 yearsrespectively in this order. If to a native current Dasa is of theSun, the next Dasa will be that of the Moon and then of Mars etc.in the above order. How this order was arrived at is yet a mysterybut we have brought some fact before our readers in this respectin the introcluctory chapter. This can be accepted as an axiont,which has stood to the test of time.

Now how can we decide the planet whose Dasa is on at thetime of birth of a native? Each Naksatra has its ruling planet,who rules for a certain period of time as told earlier. In countingof Dasas (Main periods) of planets, the starting Dasa is alwaysof the ruler of Naksatra in which the Moon is at the time of birthand the succeeding Dasas are calculated in the order told above.Simple mathematical exercises will enable one to calculate the


Dasa at birth. We have tabulated the order of Naksatras, theirelongations, tl"ieir lords and their years of Dasas as under-

The cycle for lordship that starts from Ketu and ends atMercury, reoccurs three times in a set of 9 Naksatras finallytotalling to 27 Naksatras. First cycle starts at 0o inAries and endsat the 30th degree of the sign Cancer. The 2nd cycle starts at 0o ofLeo and encls at the 30th dgree of the sign Scorpio. And the 3rdarrd last cycle starts of 0o of Sagittarius and ends at the 30th degreeof the sign Pisces.

In the table above Aswini, Magha and Moola are lorded byKetu, falling in Aries 0o to 13o-20, in Leo 0o to L3o-20' and inSagittarius 0o to L3o-20'.

Suppose at the birth of a native, the Moon is at3"-27'in thesign Aries in Aswini Naksatra. In other words we can say thatthe Moon has traversed 3"-27' in the sign Aries in AswiniNaksatra and is yet to traverse (13'-20'-3'-27') i.e., 9o-53' inAswini Naksatra. By simple mathematics of proportions, we cancalculate how much balance years etc. of Ketu's Dasa are left tobe experienced by the native at birth.

Converting this into years, months and days, we get,5 years,3 months and 9 days. This means Ketu will rule the native orKetu's Dasa will be on to the native till he is 5 years, 3 monthsand 9 days old. After Ketu, Venus will rule the native for20 years.Venus's Dasa will be on to the native in accordance with theorder of Vimsottari Dasa sequence. The following table showsthe balance of Dasa left in accordance with the longitude of theMoon at birth. This table is a ready reckoner for calculationg theDasa.

From the table of Dasa and Antardasa it is clear that Rahuwill rule the native or Rahu's Dasa will be on to the native fromthe age 48 years,3 months and 9 days till 66years,3 months and9 days. During this period the native will be positioned in lifeaccording to the results of Rahu's Dasa. Certainly there will bechanges in economic, social and religious life pattern and physicalwell being of the native accompanied by changes in mentalpatterns also. These changes are brought about in consonance withthe behaviour patterns among the Dasa and various Bhukti lords.

Out of the nine Bhuktis, the very first Bhukti is of the lord ofDasa. In Rahu Dasa, the first Bhukti will be of Rahu, next will beof Jupiter and so on in the sequential order upto Mars Bhukti.

The Bhukti is further subdivided into Pratyantaras whichare also nine. In a particular Bhukti the first Pratyantara is againof Bhukti lord i.e., in Rahu's Bhukti, the first Pratyantara will beof Rahu, the 2nd of Jupitea the 3rd of Saturn etc. in the sequentialorder as tolcl above.

Thus, we see that Dasa system is a big wheel of Dasa lmajorperiod), and there are 9 small wheels of Bhuktis-(minor^or sub

feriods) in it and each wheel of Bhukti contains further 9 smallwheels of Pratyantaras (sub-sub periods). In this way w€ canmove on to still smaller fractions like Sookshma and Prana Dasas'

Formula for Bhukti is-

Years of Dasa lord x Dasa vears of Bhukti lord.

r20Suppose we want to calculate Rahu's Bhukti in Rahu's Dasa.

Rahu Bhuk,t =ff = ##= Zyears,S months and 12 days

For Jupiter Bhukti in Rahu's Dasa :

18 x16 288Jupiter Bhukti = 'f-20 " =

ffi= Zyears,4 months and 24 days.

For convenience we can also take the numerator in thefraction i.e., 288 as 28.8 months' The whole number 28 represents2 years and 4 months and the sub decimal part-O.8 months as0.8x30 = 24 days.Thus Rahu's Dasa, Jupiter's Bhukti is of 2 years/4 months and24 days.

Lag hu Pa rasa ri -Jataka Chand ri ka 181

Similarly, we can make instantly t:bles for Bhuktis in theDasa's of other planets also.

Let us now calculate Dasa balance for a native with theMoon's longitute 6' . 5o. 24'. From the table this longitude fallsunder Chitra Naksatra 5' . 23o. 20' to 6" - 6"- 40'which is ruledby Mars, signifying that the Dasa is of Mars. For calculating Dasabalance of Mars, deduct the longitude of the Moon from thelongitude where Chitra ends.

6..6o. 40- - 6". So. 24. =76'.

Span of a Nakshatra is 13o- 20'= 800'.

Let us make a table of Bhukti in the Moon's Dasa-

800 years = 0 years 7 months and 29days.

I The last Bhukti in Mars Dasa is of the Moon of 7 monthsiduration. It means that29 days of the Sun's Bhukti was also thereto be experienced. Therefore the native was born under MarsDasa and Sun Bhukti.

i The same rule of proportion can be used to calculate thelPratyantara or sub-sub period. Like Bhukti or Antardasa the firstPratyantara is of the Bhukti lord.

i For example, we want to calculate Pratyantara of Mars in 7imonths Bhukti of the Moon in Mars Dasa. The Pratvantara ofMars is-

7 7 w 7

6-of 7 months =

ffi months = 12 days and 6 hrs.

This is because Mars gets, 7 years in 120 years.

In the same way in Mars Dasa, the Moon Bhukti and Rahu1 8 1 A v 7

Pratyantara is ffiof 7 months i.e., ffi months. Likwise we

can calculate other Pratyantaras in the Moon's Bhukti.. Other Method- ,

An other method to calculate Pratyantara is to convert theBhukti into days and multiply these days by the years allottedto Pratyantara lord in Dasas. Take half of the result. It will beghatis of Pratyantara.

For example, we want to calculate Pratyantara of Rahu inMars Dasa and Mars Bhukti.

Mars Bhukti = 7 x 7 = 4.9 months ='L47 days.

by the same method of proportions.For example we want to calculate Sookshama of the Sun in

Rahu' Pratyantara =lerx3o) x18' = 5400 ghatis

, sookshama or the sun =;::i+ = +|- auy"i In the textwe are concerned chiefly with the Dasa and Bhukti.But we have explained the calculations of Pratyantara andSookshama for the benefit of inquisitive and curious readers.
