Shanmukhais 35 years, a graduate inElectronics and Communication Engineering,

works in a scientific organization of Indian

Govt. He started his study of Astrology when

he was 22 years old and though not

traditionally trained; he is very fond of the

wonderful system of Jaimini. He is now

working on ancient commentaries on Jaimini

and writes some of his musings on Jaimini

system at his personal blog

ByShanmukha, India

n Jaimini system Yogada planet is

of much importance. Krishna

Mishra in his Phalaratnamala

made extensive exposition of this

concept. Usually, scholars in Jaiminiconsider the Atma Karaka planet is the

King of the horoscope based on their

knowledge inherited from BPHS etc.

Yet, for the followers of Krishna Mishra

genre, this Yogada planet lures them.

Be, it deciding rajayoga of the

horoscope, nature of the native or the

transits in Jaimini way (I meanlongitudinal transits). Now, first let us

define Yogada planet in the footsteps of

Krishna Mishra as followed by Sri

Rangacharya.

Aspecting Planet:-

1.

Planet aspects the Ascendant.

2.

Planet aspects both the Asc andits 7thhouse

3.

The following planet is called

Kevala Planet

a.

The lord of Moon sign

aspect the Ascendant.

b.

The lord of Moon sign

aspect either Moon sign,

--drabhgyasthlasthrga nidhytu1-1-5

Translation: The 4th, 2nd and 11th are the Argala places for the Aspecting Planet.

Look at the word , which means the Aspecting one. So, one can argue that assigns have aspect (Rasi Drishti), why cant the Argala be calculated for Lagna. The

answer is Yes, we can calculate Argala not only for Lagna for each Rasi, but how to

determine Yogada planet, after all Yogada planet is a planet not the sign. Sage

Jaimini first explained the how aspect (Drishti) to be reckoned and then explained

who does have this Drishti.

--

abhipayanti ki 1-1-2

--prvabhe ca 1-1-3

--tannica tadvat 1-1-4

Translation :The signs do aspect the abhimukha signs and the signs beside them.

Similarly the objects (planets) placed in them.

So, what Sage is instructing us? He first explained how Drishti to be reckoned from

signs in contrast to the Graha Drishti. It is just like telling this another type of aspect.

Then, he instructs us which does have aspect. That is, explaining planet in these signs

have aspect. As a sign always have aspect on the opposite and beside signs, which is

permanent doesnt add the dynamism that translates the horoscope unless there is a

planet. The planet in aparticular sign having aspect in Rasi Drishti will add thedynamic influence.

Let me state another Vriddha Karika explains that aspects be calculated only for

planets, not for the signs, though we use the misnomer term Rasi Drishti.

Of course, this debate can go further as both parties have pros and cons, let us follow

the ancient views.

Now, having agreed up on that Yodaga planet is essentially aspecting planet and

Argala needs to calculated for this planet, we proceed to the impact of this on a

horoscope.

--ubhrgae dhanasamddhi1-3-23

Translation:A aspecting planet having benefic Argala will give plenty of wealth.

(Note: Sri Rangacharya has classified three types of Argala and according to him

Subha Argala means the Argala of trinal houses. Iam not going to explain this here,

for the sake of simplicity.)

--janma kla ghatiksveka dsu rjna1-3-24

Translation :A planet aspects the Natal Ascendant, Hora Lagna and Ghataka Lagna

in Rasi chart becomes Yogada.

--patn lbhayoca ryaaka dgairv 1-3-25

Translation: The planet aspecting the Ascendant and 7th house in Rasi chart,

Navamsa Chart and Drekkana Chart becomes Yogada.

Since it is difficuilt that a planet aspecting both Ascendant and 7 thhouse in the three

charts, that is 6 places in total, it shall be understood that a planet aspecting Asc. in

Rasi chart, shall aspect Asc. in Navamsa or Drekkana chart to get qualified as

Yogada. Similar is the case for 7 thhouse.

--teve kasmin nyne nynam 1-3-26

Translation:The less the combination, lesser the yoga results in.

--evamaato drekkataca 1-3-27

Translation : Similar is the case with Navamsa nad Drekkana chart. That is the

planet aspect Asc. in Rasi, Namvamsa and Drekkana is best Yogada. Next is the

planet aspects the Asc. in either Rasi & Navamsa charts or the Rasi and Drekkana

charts.

Now, there can be many permutation and combinations like the planet aspecting

Hora Lagna in Rasi chart and Drekkana chart, Ghatika Lagna in Rasi and Navamsa

chart etc. which many be used with experience.

Finally, I quote below the Vriddha Karika authenticating the above interpretations.

There are much more references like Phalaratnamala and Kalpalatha and I will

reserve them for a full article.

vilagna ghaiklagna horlagnni payati|

ucca grahe rjayogo lagnadvayamathpi v |

yadv ri dgabhylagna dratu yogada||prye'yajtakeu prabhameva dyate ||

The above Vriddha Karika clearly states that planet aspect the Lagna, Hora Lagna

and Ghatika Lagna in Rasi chart gives Rajayoga. Similarly the planet aspects the

Lagan in Rasi and Drekkana Chart results in Rajayoga. It also adds that thse

combinations are seen in the horoscopes of Kings. It is also very important to note

that this Karika mentioned only Drekkana chart not the Navamsa chart. It is known


6/11

fact to the scholars in Jaimini that Drekkana chart has very vital role in deciding

Rajayoga of the horoscope over the Navamsa chart. Do you remember Sri Siva

Kumar once told you that Drekkana chart is the formost important chart.

Now, let us see a horoscope to apply these principles.

1.

Identify the Yogada planet of the horoscopes. There can be more than one

planet. The more the better.

2.

Always identify the Argala on this Raja Yogada planet.

3.

The strength of Yogada planet in giving results depends on whether the Argala

is Poorna (Full), Tripada (3 and ), Artha (1/2) or Pada ().

My Personal View:In Parasara system, there is a mechanism to identify the strength

of aspect whether it is full, half depending on the logitude of the planet. Then, how

do we calculate the strength of a Rasi Drishti? Is there any mechanism in Jaimini

system? The answer lies in understasnding the Argala concept. Rather than simply

identifying Argala occurred by benefic or malefic planets, identifying how many

Argalas occurred will yield the strength of Argala. For example, if there are three

unobstructed Argalas in 2nd, 4th, 11th houses from an aspecting planet, it is called

Poorna Argala. So, the strength of Rasi aspect of that particular aspecting planet is

full, similar to the planet aspecting other planet exactly 180 away, which is Poorna

Argala in Parasara method.

Deciding the types of Argala is another story, which I skip now.

Let us take Indira Gandhi horoscope.


7/11

Let us take the Rasi and Somanatha Drekkana chart to identify her Yogada.

1.

Jupiter aspects the Ascendant and 7thhouse in Rasi chart So Jupiter becomes

the Aspcting Planet (AP-2) here.

2.

Mercury aspects the Ascendant and 7thhouse in Rasi chart So Jupiter becomes

the Aspcting Planet (AP-2) here.


8/11

3.

Jupiter aspects the Ascendant and 7th house in Drekkana chart So Jupiter

becomes the Aspcting Planet (AP-2) here.

4.

Jupiter aspects the Ascendant and 7th house in Rasi chart, Somanatha

Drekkana chart and Krishna Mishra Navamsa chart. So Jupiter becomes the

Yogada planet.

5.

Mercury aspects the Ascendant in Rasi and Somanatha Drekkana Chart.

Mercury also becomes the Yogada planet.

Though Mercury and Jupiter qualifies for becoming Yogada planets, but Jaupiter

is stronger since he aspects the Asc. and 7th in Rasi, Drekkana and Navamsa

charts.

Now, let us observe the Argala on Jupiter. Unobstructed Argalas by Ketu in 2 nd,Mars in 4th and Moon in 9th (Natural benefics in either 5 th or 9th forms Argala)

Primarily two unobstructed Argalas for a planet placed in Tripada Raja Yoga

Argala. There is another way of reckoning this Argala explained by Krishna

Mishra which I skip for now. Similarly we see the Argala for Mercury as well.

Unonstructed Argala of Venus and Rahu in 2nd gives Artha (1/2) Argala. On a

whole, though there are two Yogada planets in the horoscope, yet the Argala not

formed in complete fashion and the formed Argala is by malefic influence, theRajayoga of this horoscope is tinted by controversies.

Let us see another example of Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV of ernstwhile

Mysore state. Since this horoscope is of a male native, Parivritti Drekkana is taken

here.


9/11

1.

Sun aspects the Ascendant and its 7thhouse (AP-2)

2.

Saturn aspects the Ascendant and its 7thhouse (AP-2).

3.

Sun aspects the Ascendant in Rasi and Parivritti Drekkana Chart becomes

Yogada planet.


10/11

4.

Saturn aspects the Ascendant in Rasi and Parivritti Drekkana Chart becomes

Yogada planet.

Sun and Saturn occupied in Taurus having unobstructed Argala of Mars in 4 th. So,

this is only Artha Argala. Now, let me explain the other way of reckoning Argala

which I skipped above, as explained by Krishna Mishra bringing in the concept ofPrakriti Chakra where in for a planet placed in even sign the Argala may be

reckoned in reverse fashion. Now, look at the chart. Jupiter and Venus in 11 th

(Cancer) from Sun and Saturn, Mars in 10 th (Leo), generating two Argalas giving

him Rajayoga.

Let us see the chart of Viswanath Pratap Singh, the former Prime Minister of

India.


11/11

1.

Venus aspects the Asc. and 7thin Rasi Chart (AP-2)

2.

Venus, as the Lord of Moon Sign aspceting both Moon Sign and Ascendant,

becomes Kevala Yogada planet.

3.

Venus aspects the Asc. in Rasi and Drekkana Chart, becoming Yogada Planet.

Argala On Yogada Venus.

1.

Unonstructed Argala by Sun and Mercury in 2nd.

2.

Unobstructed Argala by Mars in 4 th.

So two unobstructed Argalas results in Good Rajayoga becoming Prime Minister of

India, of course for a brief period. Before that he was Chief Minister for the state of

UP and was very methodogical in his approach. Look at the Yogada Venus, though

he was involved in Politics, he was a good painter. His later part of the life was full of

Art with which he could fight with Cancer. In Jaimini Venus is considered the Politics

and the Art as well.
