PREFACE

My father-Guru Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri was a pioneer who struggled to search for and discover astrological and other classics. Beginning from 1927 he meticulously and authentically edited and publis- hed Saaraavali, Sarvaartha Chintaamani, Jaataka Tattvam and Paraasara Samhitaa with Tamil transla- tion and comments.

This book is an English transcreation/rendering of JAATAKA TATTVAM and is brought out to serve a wider public. We propose to bring out the other classics Jataaka Alankaaram and Jinendramaalai.

We will be failing in our duty if we do not acknow- ledge the encouragement given to us by KARC Advisory Committee.

We are particularly indebted to Professor B. Ardha- nareeswaran for all his help and encouragement.

We are highly appreciative of the expeditious and efficient service done by the enthusiastic printer and Publisher Mr. M.A. Jaishankar, proprietor of Jaishankar Printers, Madras-17, (India), grandson of Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri.

We will gratefully receive suggestions for improve- ment of this book.

ACHARYA KADALANGUDI

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once."

How true these.words of Shakespeare in the mouth of Julius Caesar were in the case of Revered Pandit Brahma- sri Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri. Here was a valiant man who braved poverty, braved the ridicule of the athe-ists atheists, braved the obstruction of the orthodox, and the prejudice which some vernacular scholars had been enter. taining against Sanskrit, and with unique and single- minded devotion rendered a single service in the spread of the supreme B haaratiya wisdom.

Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri, whose birth centenary was celebrated in 1978, had a great share in the religious and cultural Renaissance since his main work was in bringing the valuable treasures embedded in the ancient literature to the attention of the general public and making them available in a language understood by the layman. Itis an evidence of his broad culture and a significant sign of the changing times that he put before one and all without distinction of caste or community or religion, Vedic Mantras such as those in the Taitreeya Aaranyakam. He had dedicated his life to this noble cause by translating the almost entire religious classics into Tamil and publishing more than 50 books along with the original texts in Devanagari script.

BIRTH AND EDUCATION:

Born on 5th October 1878 of the couple Rama Saas- . tri and Meenakshi Ammal at Kadalangudi Village near

Kumbakonam in Tanjavur District in Tamil Nadu (India) he learnt Kaavyas, Naatakas, Alankaaras, Vyaakarana, Vedanta, Astrology and Mantra Saastras. His Guru Bha- kti was such that in every publicaticn of his he got it printed that the rendering was by Mahaamahopaadhyaaya Vedantakesari Brahmasri Pangaanadu Ganapati Sastri's* disciple Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri.

ROLE OF EDUCATOR: In 1908 he started giving discourses at Tirunelveli on' Advaita Vedanta. From 1914 to 1916 he gave Vadanta lessons in Travancore Samasthaanam. During the period ha specialized in the study of and discussion on Bhaa- gavatam and Hindu Astrology. He was honoured by the Maharajah of Travancore. On 25th July 1910 he was honoured by the Maharajah of Mysore. While introduc- ing him to the Maharajah, Dewan V. P. Madhava Row remarked : "Though young he is a man of exceptionally brilli- ant parts and wonderful grasp of the principles of the Vedanta. I derived much benefit from his dis- courses. What I consider to be a special merit in the young man is his spirit of tolerance." The Sankaracharyas of Kanchipuram and Sringeri Mutts also had conferred titles on him.

THE TIMES IN WHICH HE EMERGED:

At the beginning of the century Hindu orthodoxy was, to use Shelley' words about Catholicism, "only ado- ration, faith, submission, blind admiration; not a rule for moral conduct;" and Hindu Dharma was "a passion,

E

persuasion, an excuse, a refuge, never a check according to the temper of the mind which it inhabited." The stal- warts of the Hindu fold were unwilling to deal in a sym- pathetic spirit with the growing desire of those educated in English schools and colleges to get at the rationale of Hindu custom and usages; and in fact, they refused to encourage any such quest.

These led to the deplorable result of alienating the English educated Hindu altogether from that interest in ancient Indian knowledge which one would gladly have seen in their mental equipment and from the observance of those rites and ceremonials which form the indispen- sable discipline making for purity of thought and body, necessary for any spiritual development. Their example easily began to spread this lack of interest even among non-English educated men; for the former were taken to be the repositories of modern wisdom whom it would be unfashionable not to follow. But, fortunately, the tide has turned.

National leaders like Swami Vivekananda, Tilak, Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi highlighted the salient points of India's hoary civilization and glorious culture inspired by the spiritual insight of her sages, and showed how a departure from which had resulted in her slavery to foreign domination. At such a time emerged on the scene the great Kadalangudi.

JOURNALIST PAR EXCELLENCE : Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri settled down in Madras on 27th November 1917. Without much capital on hand he set up his own Press and launched his monthly

iv

journal AARYAMATA SAMVARDHANEE, which met a long-felt need of the public. He popularized through his journal the rare ancient religious classics through the medium of reliable Tamil translation and propagated a knowledge of the significance of Hindu rituals, method of workship, etc.

GRAND PUBLICATIONS: The period 1923 to 1928 saw the publication of 9 . Vedic books, 6 Upanishads, 4 Vols of Brahmasuutra San- kkara Bhaashyam, 7 Vols, of Srimad Bhaagavatam 12 Astrology books and more than 12 Stotra books. Each book carried a scholarly Preface as lengthy as Bernard Shaw's detailed contents and an Index of Slokas to be of help to the users of the book; the Rt. Hon'ble Srinivasa Sastri echoed the thought of the other readers when he said Kadalangudi's footnotes were imaginative and con- siderate of the reader's difficulty.

The value of each book was enhanced by the author's collateral references which bring together all the learning on the subject and critical commen- tary at once admirable and most helpful. In the as- trology books'judgement based on the author's experience is also given wherever there are conflicting schools of thought. The meaning of the text is clearly and succinc- tly explained; the exposition is complete and authori- tative.

• No wonder his books are used for research guidance. His astrology books continue to be used as basic refer- ence books by Tamil-knowing people all over the world.

THE GREATNESS OF KADALANGUDI'S TRANSLATION;

Only those who are engaged in translation work can realize how arduous the work is; while the difficulty of communicating the ideas in one language through the medium of another is always difficult, itis still more diffi- cult to translate a valuable abstruse work from Sanskrit in to Tamil. Thiru Vi. Ka. opines thus :-

"Many will flinch from even undertaking the trans- lation of such abstract and scholarly treatises. But this is what the learned Kadalangudi Sastriar has dared to do in a spirit of dedication and service, regardless of praise or blame. And it is wonderful how well he has done this superhuman task. Our mind does not permit us to state that Acharya Kadalangudi Natesa Sastriar is work- ing at the translation purely from the standpoint of lear- ning. But we can confidently affirm that he is labouring also from the standpoint of love that transcends all "knowledge.

This swelling flood of translation flows from a source full of knowledge and love and it is the bounden duty of every Tamilian to drink it ... South India was all the poorer for want of accurate translation of the great classics. But this want has now been supplied and the ideas in the classics made accessible to the Tamil public by the Tamil translation so nobly undertaken by Acharya Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri, that veteran scholar. We in the South owe him a deep debt of gratitude for this labour of love."

vi

What is not widely known is that he was a great poet; . he has left behind him a large number of Sanskrit verses which constituted his diary.

Around 19"40 Kulapati K. M. Munshi invited him to become Principal of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Sanskrit College in Bombay; Kadalangudi declined it with thanks since.he wanted to be self-employed and enjoy the accru- ing freedom to pursue his studies.

RAJAJI'S TRIBUTE:

While speaking at Kadalangudi's 'Sataabhishekam' function (completion of 81 years 4 months of age equiva- lent to 100 lunar years) at Siva-Vishnu Temple in Madras on October 11, 1958 Rajaji (who was of the same age) expressed as follows : "The public need not bother to arrange ano- ther grand celebration of my 'Sataabhishekam'. I deem it to have been celebrated along with this function in honour of the veteran scholar Revered Pandit Kadalangudi Natesa Sastri."

Such was the mutual admiration and affection between the two intellectual giants.

HIS END:

The Revered Pandit who laid the Indian public under deep obligation to him by publishing and propagating ancient works and making the most valuable contribution to the study of Advaita Vedanta, Srimad Bhaagavatam, and Hindu Astrology attained immortality at the holiest

VII

of holy moments: at 11-30 p.m. on Mahaasivaraatri in 1961 (on Feb. 14, 1961 at the Lingaavirbhava Lagna).

HIS MISSION: Both in the several books and in his numerous lectu- res he had stood for the consolidation based on ths Vedas of the Hindu Dharma by ensuring social unity along with individual purity. He had been and continues to be a source of inspiration to many of his disciples who have pro- fited by learning the gems hidden in the ancient classics both philosophical and didactic, and which have a direct bearing on the practical conduct of everyday.

• He had no sons and therefore he chose to give inten- sive training i'n the practice of Astrology to his youngest daughter K. N. Saraswathy, and training in exposition of epics and ' Naaraayaneeyam to his eldest son-in-law Anantaraama Deekshitar.

The great Pandit had no patience or time to lose with indifferent disciples or those without intuition, as far as astrology was concerned. Astrological study required more intense concentration, capacity for application, and intuition. So the only disciple who completed the course and internship in astrology under Kadalangudi was K. N. Saraswathy. Even after the course he was happy to have her as apprentice and collaborator in republishing the astrology books.

JAATAKA TATTVAM

EFFECTS OF THE 1st (Ascendant) HOUSE The body comforts should be ascertained from the lord of the ascendant being placed in the degree of its own exaltation, or its own Navaamsa and associated with or aspected by the benefic. The benefic lord of the ascendant be- ing strengthened and placed in 1,4,7or 10 or in I, 5 or 9 and not being aspected by any malefic the physical comforts of the native. The native is bestowed with fame and very good fortune if tells the Sun is the lord of the ascendant and is strong and is in the degree known as Devalo- kaamsa and the lord of the 9th is in exaltation.

J-1

2 First House

The native gets good fortune, fame, wealth and long life, if the lord of the ascendant is very much strengthened, associated with benefic class (Subha varga), is in its exaltation or in its Navaamsa associated with its friendly planets, associated with the lords of the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house. There will be discomforts to the physique of the native if the lord of the ascendant is associated with a malefic. So is the result of the lord of the ascendant placed in the 8th house. But even in the above cases, if the lord of the ascendant is aspected by the be- nefics, the results will be contrary to what is said before. That is, there will be no lack of physical comforts. The native is prone to suffer fresh diseases if the lord of the ascendant or the ascendant is associated with the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th. The native will not suffer from diseases if the lord of the ascendant, even though weakened, is placed in house 1,4,7 or 10 or in 1, 5 or 9. The native will have a weak body if the lord of the house wherein the lord of the ascen- dant is placed is house 6, 8 or 12. Likewise it is generally said that the lords of the bhaavas when placed in 6, 8 or 12 harm their own bhaa- va. The native is cheated by others, lives under

Jaataka Tattvam 3

fear of thieves, etc. if the malefics are in the1 ascendant associated with Gulika, or if the lord of the ascendant is associated with a malefic, or if Rahu is in the ascendant. There will certainly be fear of thieves, royal disfavours, cheating by others if the ascendant is associated with or as- pected by Saturn. The elders opine that the native will have a large kidney if Rahu is associated with Mars and is placed in the ascendant or if Rahu is associated with Saturn. The kidney of the native will be enlarged if the lord of the ascendant is in the 8th house, or if Rahu and Gulika are in (he 8th house. The kidney is large if Rahu is in the ascendant, Gulika is in the 5th or the 9th house Mars in association with Gulika is in the 8th house. The kidney will be large if the lord of that house ( wherein the Navaamsa of the lord of the ascendant is placed) is associated with Rahu, Mars and Gulika. The kidney will be enlarged if the lord of the house housing the lord of the 8th house is associated with Rahu. :1 It is said that the native will have head in- juries caused by the pelting of stones or by a knife etc., if Mars is the lord of the ascendant land is placed in the ascendant, and associated

4 First House

with or aspected by a malefic. If Saturn is placed as said before (i.e. Saturn being the lord of the ascendant and is placed in the ascendant and is associated with or aspected by a malefic) the native will suffer head injuries due to wind, fire or weapon or falling On the ground. The astrologists proclaim that the native will have a big head if 5 ghatis are past at the time of birth in the Lagna, will not have a big head if only 2} ghatis are past, will have a small head if less than 2i ghatis are past. They say that the native will have a lean body if a dry sign (Raasi) is the ascendant and therein is housed a dry planet. The native will suffer much and have a lean thin body if the lord of the ascendant is associated with a dry planet or housed in the house of a dry planet, and the lord of the ascendant is in the 8th house and an ascendant is a dry sign. If the lord of the Nava- amsa of the house occupied by the lord of the ascendant is in dry sign the body of the native will also be dried up. It is said that the native will have a thin body if the dry sign is the Lagna and associated with many malefics. The native will have a fat body if the ascendant is a wet sign and associated with the benefics. They teach that the physique of the native will be well-built if the ascendant is a

Jaataka Tattvam 5

wet planet, is strengthened and is associated with gentle planets. The physique of the native will be well-built if the lord of the ascendant is in a wet sign, is associated with a wet planet or aspected by a wet planet, the ascendant being the sign of a benefic, the lord of the Navaamsa of the house occupied by the lord of the ascen- dant placed in a wet sign. The physique will be well-built as said above if the sign (Raasi) of the benefic is ascen- dant and devoid of the aspects of any malefic. The body will be healthy if Jupiter is in the ascendant or the ascendant is aspected by Jupi- ter or a planet having a wet sign, or the ascen- dant is a wet sign. It is said that the body will be very stout if there are benefics in the as- cendant and aspected by other benefics. It is said that the native will suffer from evils caused by the witches if Saturn or Rahu is in the ascendant. The native will suffer from breathing trou- ble, tuberculosis, stomach-ache, etc. if the Sun is in the ascendant and is being aspected by Mars. The native will undergo sufferings caused by weapons if Mars is in the ascendant and as- pected by Saturn and the Sun. There will cer- tainy be fears caused by thieves and witches

6 First House

(devils) if Ketu is in the ascendant and is as- pected by many malefics. The native will loiter much if the ascendant is in a movable sign or the lord of the ascendant is in a movable sign. They say that the native will travel much if the movable sign is an ascendant and the Navaamsa ascendant also is a movable sign.

ted by or associated with or the ascendant is aspected by or associated with benefics, the native will not be an idiot.

The native is always grief-stricken from his birth to his death, if many malefics are placed in the ascendant. The native is blessed with comforts till his death if the lord of the ascendant is in the ascendant.

When aspected by or associated with benefics, both the lord of the ascendant and the lord of fortune give worldwide fame). If Venus occupies the 1st half of the ascendant the native enjoys happiness in the earlier stages of his life and sorrow in the later stages. There i s also sorrow and grief if malefics occupy the 4th and 5th houses. The native is blessed with a good fortune, fame, wealth, prosperity and a long life if the lord of the ascendant is aspected by or associa- ted with benefics and is placed in exaltation or in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house, or in the 5th or 9th aspected by a benefic, or in its own house along with the lord of Karma.

If the lord or the Kaaraka of the 3rd is strong and has relationship with a benefic, gain of brothers is predicted. 6-11) If the lord of the 3rd is in Gopura- amsa and the Kaaraka (of the 3rd) is in Simha- asanaamsa, and if it happens to be a benefic's house, brothers will be born. If the lord of the 3rd is in Paaraaavatamsa in Kendra and is asp- ected by a benefic or conjoined with him, there will be brothers. If the lord of the 3rd is in Sowmyaamsa, brothers are to be predicted. If the lord of the 3rd is strong and is in the 3rd itself, brothers are certain to be born. . In case the lord of the 3rd is in a Mridvamsa and is conjoined or aspected by a benefic, brothers will be there. In case the lord of the 3rd is in Vaiseshikaamsa and has association or aspect of a benefic, the native will have brothers.

Affection or enmity of brother 12-13) If the lord of the 3rd and the lord of Lagna are friends, the native will have affec- tionate brother(s), and if they are enemies, the brother(s) will be inimical. If the Kaaraka of the 3rd and the lord of the 3rd are in the amsa of a masculine Raasi and are aspected by a mas-

32 Third House

culine planet, there will be gain of brother(s). Otherwise, there will be gain of sister(s); and if mixed conditions exist, there will be gain of both brother(s) and sister(s). Yoga relating to the number of brothers 14-17) The amsa rising from the 3rd house indicates the number of brothers. The amsa of the planet occupying the 3rd house will indicate the number of brothers. From the amsa of the Raasi occupied by the lord of the 3rd and the Kaaraka of the 3rd bhaava we can know the number of brothers. From the amsa of the Raasi occupied by the planet associated with the lord of the 3rd house, we can know the number of brothers.

Knowing if it is going to be brother or sister 18-19) If female planets are in the 9th, sisters will be born; and, if malefic planets are there, brothers will be born. If Mercury and Jupiter are in the 2nd house and Rahu is in Virgo, there will be three brothers. Yoga for brotherlessness and loss of br.others 20-25) If the lord of the 3rd and Mars are in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, there will be no brothers. If Mars and the lord' of the 3rd are in the 6th and if it is a malefic's house, bro- thers will be born but will die. If the Kaaraka

Jaataka Tattvam 33

of the 3rd is debilitated or in a 'Neeca Navaam- sa' and is aspected by a malefic, and is in an Shashthyamsa, there will be loss of brothers. If the 3rd house gets association or aspect of evil planet(s), loss of brothers will happen. If the lord of the 3rd is hemmed between evil pla- nets, loss of brothers is to be predicted. Loss of-brothers will be there if the 3rd house is in the midst of evil planets or is conjoined with a debilitated planet, and has no aspect of any benefic.

26-33) If the lord of the amsa occupied by the lord of the 3rd is in the 6th which is a debilitated, 'astangata', or inimical (house), harm to brothers is to be foretold. If the Kaa- raka of the 3rd bhaava ('Sahodara-Kaaraka') is in the midst of malefics, harm to brothers is the effect. If the lord of the 3rd is in the 3rd in Kroora-Shashthyamsa and aspected by male- fics, there will be harm to brothers. If the lord of the amsa, in which the lord of the 3rd is posited in Navaamsa, is posited in the 6th, harm /to brothers will be the effect. If the lord of the Navaamsa, in which the lord of the amsa occu- pied by the lord of the 3rd is debilitated, 'astan-

34 Third House

gata', or in inimical house, the native's bro- thers will be harmed. If the lord of the 3rd or the concerned Kaaraka is in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, or has conjunction or aspect of a male- fic, and is in his exalted house, the native's bro- thers will be harmed. If malefics are posited in the 3rd house, there will be harm to brothers in youth. If the lord of the 3rd or the concer- ned Kaaraka is conjoined with malefics, the native's brothers will be harmed.

Yoga for brother less ness 34-56) If Saturn is in the 3rd and aspec- ted by Mars, the native will be brotherless. If Leo is the Lagna and the Sun is posited there, the native will have no brothers. If evil planets are in the 2nd and Rahu is in the 3rd, the native is brotherless.

Yoga for brother's illness 37-39) If the 3rd house is the Moon's Varga and is aspected by Mars, the native's brother will suffer from diseases. If a malefic is' in the 3rd house from Mars, brothers will not' have good health. If there is a malefic in the 12th from Lagna, a younger brother will be there.

Jaataka Tattvam 35

Yoga for becoming government employee and for earning daily wages 40-44) If the Lagnaamsa is aspected by Venus and the Sun, the native will become a government employee. If the 10th from Lagna- amsa has association or aspect of Mercury, the native will become a government employee. If Mars, Saturn and the Sun are in the 10th with- out any benefic's aspect, the native will earn daily wages. The native will earn daily wages, if Saturn is in Lagnaamsa, Venus in debilita- tion, and the Sun and the Moon in the 12tb. If the planets in the 10th are aspected. by planets, the native will earn daily wages. Yoga for having slaves 45-48) If the lord of the 6th is in the 10th, and if the lord of the 10th is conjoined with Saturn and is in Kendra, the native will have slaves. If the lord of Karma has Saturn as his amsa lord and has association with the lord of the 6th, he will have several slaves: If the Sun is aspected by the lord of the 9th and the 10th, and is in a male Raasi, the native will have several slaves. If there is a great deal of beneficial aspects on the 10th house, slaves will be there. Yoga for heroism 49-51) If there is a lot of beneficial asp-

36 Third House

ect on the 3rd, or if the 3rd is conjoined with a malefic, or if the 3rd lord is strong, the native will be heroic. If the lord of the 3rd is in Kendra or Trikona, the native is heroic. If the lord of Lagna and the lord of the 3rd conjoin, the native will have heroism. Yoga for living on noted work, quarrylfirewood work 52-53) If Saturn is Lagna-amsa, the nati- ve will live on a work which is much noted. If the lord of the 6th is the 3rd, one will live on selling firewood or stone. Yoga for begging 54-57) If the Moon is in Aries and aspec- ted by Mars, the native is a beggar. t If the Moon has no benefic's aspect, the native will be a slave or beggar. If all the planets have attai- ned Neecaamsa, or have 'set' (reached 'Asta- mana') in the Sun in the 10th or 11th house, the native is a beggar. If Jupiter is in the 12th, Saturn in Kendra, and the Moon in Lagna, the native is a beggar.

t Some wealthy persons born in this Yoga have been observed begging.

Jaataka Tattvam 37

Yoga for dishonourable job 58-60) If Jupiter is in the 2nd or 5th from the Moon and a benefic or malefic occu- pies the 8th, the native has a dishonourable job. If a planet is in a friend's house, the native is a parasite. If Lagna lord is in the 10th, Sat- urn is in the 2nd or Trikona, and a malefic is in the 8th, the native is in a despicable job. (Even a government job, however high, becomes at sometime br other despicable.) Yoga for gain of wealth from others 61) If in the 10th from Lagna or the Moon (respectively) the Sun and other planets are posited, gain of wealth will respectively be from father, mother, enemy, friend, brother, woman, servant. *

Determining native's career 62-65) The lord of the amsa which, is occupied by the lord of the 10th from Lagna- place of the Sun, and place of the Moon, deter, mines the native's career. Ref: Sloka 62 : If it is.the Sun's amsa the career will relate to medicine", aromatic articles, gold, wool, pearl, gem, agency, emissary, mantras, cure for illness

• Refer our translation of Brihat Jaata- kam ChX Sloka 1.

38 Fourth House

chemistry and dramatics. If it is the Moon's amsa, the career relates to conch, pearl, coral, agriculture, soil, mimicry, government service, and dependence on Woman. If it is Mars' amsa, the career will relate to 'manosilaa' 'haritaala' 'hingula' ('kunkilya') and gold, sword, wheel, axe; bow and crusher, police officer, medical doctor, rail engine driver, rice mill operator, cook, and any job which depends on his own strength.

66-69) If it is Mercury's amsa, compo- sing, typing, shorthand, accountancy, 'yantra'. poetry, painting, books, pictures, fireworks, wreaths, and scents-will be the careers. If it is Jupiter's amsa, career will relate to service done to 'devas', brahmin and pandit, gold, salt, inks, elephant, law, donation, holy waters, fast- ing and service in 'mutts'/monasteries. If it is Venus's amsa, precious' stones, silver, iron, cows, class buffaloes, gold, elephant, and horse will be the trade of the native. If it is Saturn's amsa, the career will relate to travelling agency, postal courier, butchery, circus, load-carrying, and a job not suited to his tribe. Yoga for daily tasks

70-72) The daily progress depends on the lord of the Navaamsa in which the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam 39

10th from Lagna is posited in Gochara. If the wealth-giver is the Sun and if he is posited in exalted place, he will confer wealth on the native. If benefic planets are in 1st, 2nd and 11th houses, the native will obtain wealth in various ways.

EFFECTS OF THE 4th (relations) HOUSE

1-6) If the native is born under the Scor- pio sign, the mother will have no breast milk to feed the baby. If Mars is in the 10th and Jupi- ter in the 8th and both are strong the native will get no comfort from the mother. The same will happen when the Moon is in either 6th or 8th and Mars in the 7th associated with a male- fic. If either the Moon or Venus is associated with or aspected by or caught between malefics, there will be no comfort from mother. Similar is the fate when either the 4th sign or the lord of the 4th is associated with, aspected by or caught between malefics. 6-11) If Venus is posited in the 7th place from the Moon and is associated with a malefic, there will be comfort from the mother. If Sat- urn isin the 4th and aspected by a malefic, the

40 Fourth House

' mother will die soon. With Saturn in the 4th and aspect of a benefic, the mother's death will take place after a very long time. If Sat- urn is in a malefic sign associated with a male- fic, the death of mother is certain. If the Moon is in the 5th place there will be comfort from the mother. Likewise is the case when the Moon or Mars is in the 10th or 9th house.

12-18) If the Moon-is in the 7th associa- ted with a malefic, there will be no comfort from the mother. The same will happen when Jupi- ter is in Lagna, Saturn in the 2nd, and. Rahu in the 7th. The mother will not survive if Jupiter is in Lagna, Saturn in'the 2nd, and Rahu in the 3rd. If the Sun is in the 3rd or 7th and Mars in Lagna, the mother will not live long. If the lord of the 3rd is in the 6th, 8th or 12th place and associated with the Moon, the native will be suckled by his step-mother. If the Moon is between malefics or if the malefics are at the 4th or 7th place from the Moon, the mother will die. If the lord of the 1st, 4th or 9th is in the 1st, 5th or 9th house or in Kendra position, the mother and father will die together.

19-25) When Saturn is in the 1st, 5th or 9th place from the Moon, the native born in the night will lose his mother. If a benefic is in the

Jaataka Tattvam 41

4th house or if the Maatru Kaaraka is strong associated with a benefic and posited in the 4th the mother will live for a long time. The mother will live long if the Moon is strong and Venus is associated with or aspected by a benefic. The same is the case when Venus or the Moon is in a benefic Navaamsa or in a Kendra. Find out the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 4th. If the lord of the Navaamsa occu- pied by that lord is in Kendra and strong, the native's mother will live long. More about mother 24 -- 32) If the lord of the 4th is in Lagna and strong, the mother will be chaste. If the lord of the 4th is in 'Vaiseshika' amsa and aspected by a benefic, the mother will be chaste. The same is the case when the lord of the 4th is aspected by either a benefic or the Sun. If the lord of the 6th is associated with Mars and the Moon in the 4th aspected by a malefic, the mother will be unchaste. If the lord of the 4th together with Rahu is associated with a malefic, the mother will be unchaste; (maybe only men- tally.) If the lord of the 4th and the lord of the Lagna are mutually friendly and either asso-

J-6

42 Fourth House

ciated with or aspected by a benefic the person will be friendly with the mother. Likewise is the case when the lord of the 4th is in Kendra and aspected by either the lord of the Lagna or a benefic. If there are malefics in the 4th house, the native will have two or more mothers; but if a benefic, only one mother. Happy with animals 32-39) He who is born in a Taurus Nava- amsa will be happy with animals. If the aspect of benefics on the 4th house is great the person born in that Yoga will be happy with animals. A person will be happy throughout his life, if the lord of the Lagna is in Vargottama amsa, or own Navaamsa, in exaltation, or in a friendly decanate, and is aspected or associated with a benefic. If benefics are within the 4th house from Lagna, the baby will be happy in his 1st year. If Jupiter is in Kendra, and the lord of the Lagna in the Paaraavata amsa, the child will be happy in his younger years. With a bene- fic in the 9th, a malefic in the Lagna, and a bene- fic in the 2nd, and if they are in 'Devaloka' amsa, the native will be happy in his childhood. If Venus is in Lagna, the native will be happy in the first half of his life. If the lord of Lagna is in a benefic's sign or aspected by a benefic

Jaataka Tattvam 43

and is in Gopura-amsa, the native will be happy in the 4th part of his life. Happy when? 40-47) If either the lord of Lagna, or the lord of the Navaamsa is occupied by the lord of Lagna, or the lord of the 11th house is in Sagit- tarius, happiness will be after the 20th year. Happiness comes after the 30th year when either the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of Lagna or the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 11th is in Kendra. If bene- fics are in the 8th place from the 5th (i.e. in the 12th house), happiness will be in middle age. Happiness will be in youth time, when Jupiter, the lord of the house occupied by the Moon, and the lord of Lagna are in Kendra. If bene- fics are in the 1st, 11th and 12th, and Jupiter in Kendra in the Simhaasana amsa, happiness to the native comes in his early and middle years. When benefics aspect the 1st, 2nd and 3rd signs and if Jupiter is in Paaraavata amsa in Lagna, a beneficial sign, there will be happiness of the native in his early and middle years. If malefics are in the 2nd, and benefics in the Kendra, and the lord of Lagna in Vargottama amsa, the per- son will be unhappy in his early years but happy later. If benefics are from the 9th to the 12th

44 Fourth House

houses, the person will be happy in his later life. If Venus is in Devaloka amsa and if Gopura amsa is rising in the Lagna and aspected by benefics, the person will be happy both in mid- dle and later years,

Happiness 49-60) If a benefic is in Lagna and is aspected by a benefic and unassociated with a malefic, the person will be happy. If five planets are in their own houses, the person will be extre- mely happy. If Jupiter aspects the lord of the 4th the perspn will be happy. If a benefic is in the 4th, the person will be happy. He will be happy if the lord of the 4th is in the middle of benefics. If Jupiter being strong is associated with the lord of the 4th, the person will be happy. When the lord of the 4th is in Kendra or in the 1st, 5th or 9th place associated with a benefic, the person is happy. If the lord of the 4th is in Mrit amsa, the person is happy. If Jupiter is stronger than the lord of Lagna, the person will be happy. If the lord of the 4th and Jupiter are in Gopura amsa, the person will be happy. When the lord of the 4th is in the 2nd, 6th, 3rd, 10th and 11th in benefic amsas, the person will be happy. If the Moon is in between two benefics, the person is happy.

Jaataka Tattvam 45

Sorrow 61-74) He who is born in Aries amsa will be sorrowful due to a cat or rat. He who is born in Leo Navaamsa will have sorrow from a dog. He who is born in Virgo Navaamsa will have sorrow from a spark of fire. When Mer- cury, Rahu and the Sun are in the 5th, Mars in the 4th and Saturn in the 8th, the person will be sorrowful. If malefics are in Lagna, the per- son will be sorrowful. A malefic in the 4th and a weak Jupiter cause sorrow though the person is rich. The same is the case when the lord of the 4th is either weak or associated with a malefic. If the lord of the 4th is in the Navaamsa of a malefic or in a debilitated sign he will be sorrowful in spite of riches and sons. Mars associated with the Sun, and the lord of the 4th, both being in the Navaamsa of malefics and unaspected by benefics, cause sorrow throughout life. When the Sun and Mars in the amsa of a debilitated sign or in the amsa of an inimical sign, although posited in the 4th, are aspected by a malefic from an evil amsa, there will be loss of house and property due to lack of care and attention. Further, the person will be unhappy. When the lord of the 8th is in 11th, the person will be unhappy in childhood. With

46 Fourth House

Saturn in Lagna, Rahu in the 8th and Mars in the 6th the person will be sorrowful. If the Moon is between malefics, the person will be unhappy. If the lord of Lagna is in the 12th and a malefic in the 10th and if Mars and the Moon are associated, the person is unhappy: Predictions about the house

4th 75-82) If the Moon and Venus are in the place from the Navaamsa Lagna, the person will have a multi-storied house. If a planet in exaltation is in the 4th place from the Nava- amsa Lagna, the native will have a multi-storied house. The same is the case when Rahu and the Sun are in the 4th house from the Navaamsa Lagna. If Ketu and Mars are in the 4th place from the Navaamsa Lagna, the person will have a brick house. A house made of timber will be there, if Jupiter is in the 4th place from the Navaamsa Lagna. If the Sun is in the 4th place from the Navaamsa Lagna the person will have a hut (made of grass). If the lord of Lagna is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th in Lagna, the person will have a house of his own.

82-89) If the lord of the 4th is strong and in Kendra and aspected by a benefic, the person will get a house. There will be gain of a house if the lord of the 4th is in Vaiseshika amsa or in a most exalted position. If the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam 47

Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 4th is in Kendra, there will be gain of a house. With the lord of the 9th in Kendra, the lord of the 4th in own exalted house or in a friendly sign, and a planet in exaltation in the 4th house, the gain of a beautiful house can be predicted. A benefic in the 3rd sign, the lord of the 4th and the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 4th, both being strong, give to the native a storied house with compound. If the lord of the 4th is to the amsa of Simhaasana, Gopura or Mrit amsa the above Yoga will result. If the lord of the 4th is in Paaraavata amsa and the Moon in Gopura amsa aspected by Jupiter the person will get a house blessed by the gods. If the lords of the 4th and 10th are associated with the Moon and Saturn, a most pleasing house will be obtained.

90-97) If the lords of the 4th and Lagna are in the 4th sign, there will be gain of a house in a most unexpected fashion. The number of malefics that are with the lords of the 10th, 4th, 2nd and 12th and are posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th will be the number of houses consumed by fire. If Rahu and the Sun are in the Nayaamsa Lagna and aspected by Mars, the person's house will be burnt to ashes. If the Sun is in Kendra or in the 1st, 5th or 9th, the person's house will

48 Fourth House

fall down due to decay and degeneration. There will 'be destruction of the house, if the lord of the 4th is in the 6th and aspected by a malefic. If the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 4th is in the 6th sign, the destruction of the house can be predicted. If the lord of the 4th is in the 8th, the house will fall down to pieces. The number of malefics with which the lords of the 4th, 2nd and Lagna are associated will be the number of houses which will meet with destruction. But if they are aspected by benefics, such a destruction will not take place. Living in same or several houses 98-101) If the 4th is a moveable sign and if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraaka of 'griha' is in a fixed sign, the person will have to live in, several houses. But if the 4th is a fixed sign and if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraka of 'griha' is in a fixed sign, the person will live in the same house. If in the 4th sign a benefic Shadvarga is rising the native will remain in the same house. Of the lords of Lagna, the 2nd and 4th the number of planets that are in Kendra, the 1st, 5th or 9th give the number of houses which will give benefit to the native. House with fittings 102-111) If the lords of the 11 th and 2nd are in the 4th and the lord of the 4th is in

Jaataka Tattvam 49

Vaiseshika amsa and aspected by a benefic, the person will obtain a house with a lot of property (or fittings). If the lord of the 4th is in the 10th and the lord of the 10th in the 4th, and Mars is strong, the person will have much landed pro- perty. If the lords of the 10th and 4th are strong and mutually friendly, the person will have much landed property. The same is the case when either the 4th sign or the lord of the 4th is associated with a benefic. Similar result comes when the lord of the 4th is in the sign Gopura amsa of the 5th sign. If the lord of the 4th is associated either with the lord of the 3rd or with the Kaaraka of the brother the person will obtain land from brother. If the lord of the Lagna is strong and is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th is strong and is in Lagna and aspected by benefics, the person will purchase land by self-effort. If Venus, the Kaaraka of spouse, is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th in the 7th and are mutually friendly, the person will get land through his wife. If the lord of the 6th is in the 4th and the lord of the 4th is in the 6th and the latter is stronger than the former, the person will get land through his enemy. If the lord of the 4th is strong and in own house,

J-7

50 Fourth House

or in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th and aspected by a benefic, there will be gain of landed property. Loss pr destruction of land 112-121) If the lord of the 4th is in a debilitated sign, or in an inimical house, or eclipsed, or between malefics, or aspected by a malefic, there will be destruction of land. If Mars is between malefics or aspected by a male- fic, or in a malefic Navaamsa, there will be loss of landed property. If the lord of the 4th is in an evil Shadvarga or a malefic is in the 4th sign the land will be lost. The same fate will over- take if the lord of the 4th is in the 6th, 8th or 12th sign. If the lord of the 4th is in the 2nd sign associated with a malefic, or in a debilitated sign or in an inimicial sign, the person will lose his landed property. If the lord of the 10th associated with a malefic is in the 4th, there will be loss of land. If the lord of the 10th is in the malefic inimical or cruel amsa or in bad Shad- varga of the 4th house there will be destruction of land. When the lord of the 4th is in the 10th along with the Sun, the land will be lost due to the anger of the king. A similar fate comes when the lord of the 4th associated with a malefic also comes together with the lord of the

Jaataka Tattvam 51

Navaamsa occupied by the lord in whose Nava- amsa the lord of the 2nd is posited. Sale of land 117) If the lord of the 4th is in exaltation, and the lord of the 2nd is a malefic and is in a debilitated inimical sign, the person will sell his land. Predictions about friendship 122-126) If the lord of the Lagna and the lord of the 5th are friendly the Sun will be fri- endly towards the father. If the lord of the Lagna and the lord of the 7th are friendly, there will be friendly relationship between husband and wife. If the lord of the Lagna and the lord of the 4th are friendly, there will be friendship with many people. If the lord of the Lagna and the lord of the 4th are in a friendly sign, the person will be supported by his friend. If there are several benefics aspecting the 4th sign, the person will be a friend of many people. Being worshipped by relatives 127 -- 130) If a beneficial planet is in the 4th sign and aspected by a benefic, and the Kaa- raka of the bhaava is also strong, the person will be worshipped by his relatives. The same is the case when there is Jupiter in the 4th sign

52 Fourth House

and the lord of the 4th is associated with a bene- fic. If a planet is in an exalted sign, in a frien- dly sign, in the 4th sign, and aspected by Jupi- ter, the native will be worshipped by his rela- tives. A similar result comes when three planets are in their own houses. Being helpful to relatives 131-134) If the lord of the 4th is in Ken- dra, or in the 1st, 5th, or 9th, or in the Vaise- shika amsa, and not aspected by any malefic, or associated with a malefic, the person will be very helpful to his relatives. If the lord of the 2nd is in the 11th, or in Trikona (1,5,9), and if the 4th sign is aspected by a benefic, the person will be very helpful to his relatives. Similar is the result when the lord of the 4th is in Kendra or in his own Navaamsa which is beneficial.

To be forsaken by relatives 135-138) If the lord of the 4th is associa- ted with a malefic and in a cruel Shadvarga and is weak, the person will be forsaken by his rela- tives. The person will be reviled by his rela- tives, if the lord of the 4th or the Kaaraka of the 4th bhaava is associated with many malefics. If the 4th is a malefic sign, or if a debilitated planet joins with an eclipsed planet and not

Jaataka Tattvam 53

aspected by any benefic the person will deride his relatives. If four planets are in a good sign, the person will be fostered by his relatives.

About beds 139-144) If the lord of the 12th is asso- ciated with a benefic, or in a benefic Varga or in its own exalted sign, the person will sleep on' a cot. There will be no comfort in the bed if the lord of the 12th is associated with a malefic. Even if the lord of the 12th is a malefic, if he is in the Varga of a benefic, there will be comfort in affairs of the bed. There will be no comfort in the bed if the lord of Lagna is in the 6th, 8th or 12th place. The same is the case when the lord of Lagna is in debilitation. If the lord of Lagna is associated with Saturn, Maandi or Rahu, there will be no comfort in the bed.

54 Fifth House

or in Lagna, the 6th or 9th house the person will be intelligent. If the lord of the 5th house is in a beneficial sign, and Jupiter is in the 5th the native will be intelligent. If Mercury is in the 5th and the lord of the 5th is in a quadrant and is strong, the person will be intelligent. Of memory 6-8) If the lord of the 5th is in a quadr- ant associated with a benefic, the person will not be forgetful; he will have a tenacious memory. If the lord of the 5th or the Kaaraka is posited in an inimical amsa and aspected by a benefic, the person will not be forgetful. When the lord of the 5th is in the Gopura amsa the native will be more watchful and have a good memory. Good remarks 9-15) The Kaaraka of the 5th bhaava posited in Gopura amsa makes the person con- siderate to others' points of view and intelli- gent. If the Sun and the Moon are in the 5th or 9th house the native will be fickle-minded. Even if Jupiter is in a quadrant, the person will be unsteady. If Mercury, the Moon and Mars are aspected by strong planets, the native will be alert and quick-witted. With Mercury in the 2nd and aspected by a weak malefic the person

Jaataka Tattvam 55

will be fickle-minded. If Mercury and the lord of the 3rd are associated together, the person will be good-natured filled with saatwik quali- ties. If the lord of the 12th is in Lagna, the native will speak charmingly expressing good. sentiments.

16-21) With the Moon in Lagna and the aspect of Saturn and Mars, the person will fee mean-minded. With the lord of the 5th in a cruel 6th amsa, the person will be petty-minded. If Saturn, Mars and the Sun aspect the Moon, the native will be a fool. With the Moon in the 6th, 8th or 12th house and aspected by Venus, the person will be astonishingly good. If the lord of the 5th is associated with a male- fic, similar result is expected. If the Kaaraka for offspring is associated with a malefic or is in an evil amsa, the native will have a surpri- sing nature.

Regarding idiots 22-28) If Saturn, the Moon and Gulika are in quadrants the native will be a dull-witted fool. With Gulika in the 2nd associated with the Sun and aspected by a malefic or with the lord of the 3rd associated with Saturn, the native will be an idiot. If the lord of the 2nd is associated with a malefic and posited in the

56 Fifth House

10tb, the person will be shy in public and be- have foolishly. If the lord of the 3rd is asso- ciated with Rahu, the native will be an idiot. The same result happens when Saturn is in the 5th and the lord of Lagna is aspected by Saturn and if the lord of the 5th is associated with a malefic. If Gulika and Saturn are in the 5th and are not associated with a benefic, the native will be idiot. If Jupiter is in the 5th house, even an intelligent person will forget his know- ledge. Regarding learned and wise men 29-34) If Ketu is in the Navaamsa Lagna and aspected by Venus the person will perform sacrifices or officiate in sacrifices. If two male- fics are. in the 5th and the 9th places from the Navaamsa Lagna the native will be a necroman- cer or magician. If two malefics are in the 9th place from the Navaamsa Lagna, and aspected by an evil planets the native will be an exorcist. With malefics in the 5th and the 9th places from the Navaamsa Lagna and aspected by benefics, the person will be of assistance to others. If the Navaamsa Lagna is aspected by Mercury, the Moon and Venus and if the lord of the 2nd is in the 7th house, the native will be a phy- sician. If Venus and the Moon aspect the Nava- amsa Lagna, the person will be an alchemist.

Jaataka Tattvam 57

35-40) If the 5th house from the Nava- amsa Lagna is occupied by the Moon and Jupi- ter who are associated with malefics, the person will write sacred books. If Jupiter is in the 2nd or 5th place from Navaamsa Lagna the person will be a grammarian. If Mercury or Jupiter is in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from the Navaamsa Lagna, the person will be learned in the Mima- amsaa literature. He will be a logician if Jupi- ter and Mars are in the 5th, 2nd or 3rd place from the Navaamsa Lagna. He will be learned in saankhyaa philosophy, if Jupiter and the Moon are in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from Navaamsa Lagna. He will be learned in Vedaanta and music, if Jupiter and the Sun are in the 2nd, the 3rd or the 5th place from Navaamsa Lagna. Mathematical skill 41-45) With Jupiter and Ketu in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from the Navaamsa Lagna the person will be skilled in Mathematics. The same happens when Mars is in the 2nd and as- pected by a benefic. If the Moon and Mars are associated and aspected by Mercury, or if Mars or Mercury are in quadrants, the native will be a mathematician. The same is the prediction

J-8

58 Fifth House

when Mercury or Jupiter is the lord of the 8th and is strong and posited in Lagna, and Saturn is in the 8th house. A strong Jupiter in qua- drant or in the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house with Venus or Mercury in the 2nd makes the person a mathematician.

Astrological skill 46-42) If Mercury and Venus and in the 3rd and the 2nd houses the person will be proficient among astrologists. The same result comes when the lord of the 2nd is strong and Mercury is in a quadrant, the 11th, the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house. If Jupiter is in its high exaltation or in the 2nd house, the person will be the best among astrologists. General remarks 49-54) If Mercury associated with Mars is in a benefical sign the person will give delight to learned men. If Mercury and Mars are in the Saturn signs of Capricorn and Aquarius and aspected by the Sun, the person will delight the official pandits (i.e. learned men of the Govern- ment). If the lord of the 5th is strong and is in a quadrant, the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house the person will be a Vidwaan. If the lord of Lagna is in the 2nd or the 11th house, the per- son will not only be learned in arts but also in

Jaataka Tattvam 59

the Saastras/sciences. The lord of the 5th in the 10th or the 11th house makes the person a learned one. The lord of the 10th in Lagna makes the person a poet. 55-60) The lord of the 11th in own house (i.e. the 11th) will also make him a poet. If the lord of the 4th is in Lagna or the 7th house, the person will be very learned but dumb in public. If Jupiter is in the 5th or 9th house from the Moon and Mars is in the 5th or the 9th house from Mercury, the person will be skilled in all arts. If Jupiter or Venus is lord of the 2nd and aspected by the Sun or Mars, the person will be a logician. If Jupiter and Venus are in their exaltation, own house or in Moolatrikona, the person will be skilled in logic. If Jupiter is strong and the lord of the house occupied by Jupiter is aspected by the Sun and Venus, the person will be skilled in seven saastras (i.e. several sciences). Knowledge of Vedaanta 61-65) If Mercury is the lord of the 2nd house and in exaltation, and Saturn is in Gop- ura amsa Jupiter in Simhaasana amsa, the per- son will be learned in the Vedaana philosophy. With Saturn in Paaraavata amsa and aspected by Mercury and Jupiter, the person will be lear-

60 Fifth House

ned in Vedaanta. The same is the result when Jupiter is in a quadrant or in the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house. Venus in Vargottama amsa posi- ted in Lagna makes the person a Vedaantist. The same is the case when the Moon is in Devaloka amsa or Vargottama amsa and Venus is in a quadrant. 66-69) With Jupiter in a quadrant, Venus in Simhaasana amsa and Mercury in Navaamsa or Gopura amsa of the lord of the 2nd house, the person will be skilled in six Saastas/sciences. Determine the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the sign where is posited the lord of the 2nd house. If this lord is Saturn or Mars and associated with malefics in a quadrant, the 1st, 5th, or 9th house, the person will be proficient in six Saastras. If the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the Sun is in Vaiseshika amsa is strong and is in the 2nd house the per- son will be skilled in six Saastras. A strong Jupiter in the 2nd house and the lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 2nd in a quadrant and aspected by a benefic make the person master of six Saastras. Mastery of Vedaanta 70-73) If the lord of Lagna is in the 2nd and the lord of the 2nd in Paaraavata amsa the

Jaataka Tattvam 61

person will be learned in Vedaanta philosophy. The same is the case when Mercury is in exal- tation and in Lagna, the lord of the 2nd in Paa- raavata amsa and Venus in the 12th house. If the Kaaraka for offspring is in a quadrant or in the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house and aspected by a benefic, the person will be able to anti- cipate and predict coming events. If Jupiter is in his own Navaamsa or in Mridvamsa the per-

future. son will know the past, the present, and the

74-78) The same in the case when Jupiter is in Gopura amsa and aspected by a benefic. With the lord of the 10th in Devaloka amsa and aspected by a benefic, the person will be absor- bed in contemplation of brahmam. The same is the case when the lord of the 9th is in Paaraa- vata amsa and aspected by a benefic. If Jupiter, Ketu, Rahu and Saturn are associated together in a sign and aspected by Venus, even a low- born will become a Vidwaan. Rahu and the Sun associated with a benefic and posited in their Navaamsa Lagna together with a malefic planet will make the person proficient in poisonous cures.

62 Fifth House

Lack of children due to snake curse 79-83) If all planets are weak, the person will be childless. If Rahu is in the 5th and aspected by Mars, the person will be childless due to the curse of snake-god. The same is the case when Saturn is in the 5th house and aspec- ted by the Moon and the lord of the 5th is associated with Rahu. If the Kaaraka for off- spring is associated with Rahu and the lord of the 5th is weak and Mars is associated with the lord of the Navaamsa, the person will be child- less due to snake curse. If the Kaaraka for off- spring is in the 5th house, Rahu is associated with the lord of Lagna and the lord of the. 5th in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th place, the person will be child less due to snake curse.

84-87) With Mars in own Navaamsa and Mercury being the lord of the 5th associated with a malefic, the same result will occur". The same is the case when Mars is lord of the 5th and. Rahu is in the 5th aspected by a benefic. Also when the lords of Lagna and the 5th house are weak and malefics are in the 5th. If the lord of Lagna is associated with Rahu and the lord of the 5th with Mars, childlessness results due to snake curse.

Jaataka Tattvam 63

Childlessness due to Pitru-curse 88-92) If the Sun is lord of the 5th and is posited between malefics or in the 1st, the 5th or the 9th house and aspected by a malefic the person will become childless due to the curse of Pitrus (deceased forefathers). A similar fate comes when the Sun is in the 5th arid is flanked by malefics, and Saturn and Mars are debilita- ted. Also when Jupiter is in Leo and the lord of the 5th is associated with the Sun, and male- fics are in Lagna and the 5th house. With the Sun in the 8th, Saturn in the 5th, and the lord of the 5th associated with Rahu, the person will be childless due to Pitru curse. The same is the case when the lord of the 12th is in Lagna, the lord of the 8th in the 5th, and the lord of the 10th in the 8th.

Childlessness due to maternal curse 93-96) If the Moon is lord of the 5th and is weak and is between two malefics and if evil planets are in the 4th and the 5th houses the person will be childless due to the curse of deceased mother's spirits. If Lagna is Scorpio and Saturn posited therein, malefics in the 4th and the Moon in the 5th, the same fate over- takes the person. A similar misfortune happens when the lord of the 5th is in the 6th, the 8th

64 Fifth House

or the 12th house, the lord of Lagna is debili- tated, and the Moon is associated with malefics. Also when the Moon is the lord of the 5th and associated with Saturn, Rahu and Mars.

97-100) If Mars is lord of the 4th and associated with Rahu and Saturn, and the Sun . and the Moon are in Lagna, the person is cursed with childlessness by mother's spirit. The same prediction can be made if the lord of the 4th is in the 8th, if the lords of Lagna and the 5th are in the 7th, and the lords of the 10th and the 6th are in Lagna. Also when Rahu, the Sun, Mars and Saturn are in the 5th, the 1st, the 8th and the 6th houses, and when the lord of Lagna is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house. If Rahu, Mars and Jupiter are in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th houses, and Saturn and the Moon are in the 5th, a similar misfortune occurs. Childlessness The person is childless : 101-103) If the Sun is in Lagna and Mars in the 5th. Also when the lord of the 5th is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house from Jupiter and the lords of the 5th, the 9th and Lagna are in the 6th, the 8th, and the 12th places from Lagna; or when Jupiter is in the 5th and male- fics in the 5th place from Jupiter.

If malefics are in Lagna, the 12th, the 5th or the 8th place. The Moon is in the 5th and malefics in the 8th, Lagna and the 12th house.

7th house or Lagna and is strong and associated with the lord of the 6th, or aspected by it. If the lords of the 5th and the 9th are associated with the lord of the 7th and posited in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house and are weak, and the 5th house is not aspected by a benefic. If Saturn, Venus and Mars are in the 7th house. If Saturn and Mars are in the 9th or 1 Oth house childless- ness will result.

Loss of children 134 -- 138) If the 5th is either associated with or aspected by an evil planet, there will be abortion. If the Sun in all its rays is in the 5th house, the person will lose every child that is born. A similar fate overtakes the person if a malefic is in the 5th house. He will be child- less, if Saturn is in the 5th house. There will be loss of children if the Sun is in the 5th house. The same is the fate if the lord of the, 3rd is in the 12th, the 1st, the 2nd or the 5th house. If

68 Fifth House

malefics are in trines, and the waning Moon in Lagna, and Jupiter in eclipse posited in Saturn's house, the person will get children; but the children will not last long.

A similar fate is indicated when the Sun is in' Saturn's house. (Aquarius or Capricorn) and aspected by a malefic, and the Lagna is in a malefic Shadvarga. If Rahu, the Sun and Mars are inthe 5th house, the person will get a child after performing purificatory ceremonies.

There will be delay in getting children if the 5th house happens to be Aries, Taurus or Can- cer, and Rahu or Ketu occupies it. If a bene- fic is in the 10th and a malefic in the 5th the baby will be born after long delay. If the lord of the 5th is in debilitated house, the lord of the 9th in Lagna, and Mercury and Ketu are in the 5th, the child will be born after great difficulty. Year of birth 171-173) If a malefic or Jupiter is in the 4th house, and the Moon in the 6th or the 5th,' the person wilt get a baby in his 30th year. With a malefic in an evil sign and a powerful Sun in Lagna and Mars in an even sign, one can pre dict the birth of a baby after the 30th year.

Determination of number of children 177-182) If Cancer is in the 5th house and the Moon is posited there, the person will have daughters or few sons. As many male planets aspecting the 5th house will be the num- ber of sons born to a person. The number of girls will be determined by the number of fem- ale planets aspecting the 5th house. If Rahu is in the 11th house the person will get progeny in his old age. If the lord of the 5th is weak and is in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house and associated with a malefic, the wife will bear only one child. The same is the case if the lord of the 5th is weak and associated with Saturn.

183-190) If the 5th house is not aspected by either Mars or Venus, the person will have no child, although he marries twice or thrice. If the sign of Venus (Taurus or Libra) is a trine and is occupied by the Moon, the person will have only one son. If Rahu or Ketu is in the 5th house, the person will have a bad son. If the Sun is in the 5th and aspected by a benefic the person will have three sons. If Capricorn is the 5th house and Saturn is posited there the

Jaataka Tattvam 73

person will have three sons. The same is the case if Mars is in Capricorn which happens to be the 5th house. With Aquarius as the 6th and Saturn posited there, the person will have five sons. If the Sun, Mars or Jupiter is in the 5th house, the person will get 1, 3 or 5 spns respectively. 1. Birth of many daughters 191-195) If the Moon, Mercury, Venus or Saturn is in the 5th house the person will get 2, 3, 5 or 7 daughters respectively. If Mercury is in the 5th and.the lord of the 5th is in the 6th, the person will lose his sons and have only daughters. There will be many daughters born if Mercury is in the 5th or the 7th house. If the lord of the 5th is in Samarksha Varga in an even sign and associated with Mercury and Saturn and aspected by either Venus or the Moon, the `person will have only daughters. If the 5th house is an even sign and is the Varga of Venus or the Moon, and is aspected by Venus and the Moon, the person will have many daughters born to him. Yoga for many children , 196-201) If the 5th sign is odd, and in the

J-10

74 Fifth House

Varga of Venus and the Moon, and is occupied by Venus and the Moon, the person will have many sons. If the 5th is the house of Venus (Taurus or Libra) or the Navaamsa of Venus, and aspected by Venus, the native will have many children. With Mercury, Venus or the Moon in the 11th house the person will have many daughters. The same is the case if the lord of the 5th is either in the 2nd or the 8th house. If the 5th house happens to be the Lagna or the Moon's Lagna, and is a beneficial sign, and associated with a benefic, the person will have sons; if otherwise, he will have no son. If the lord of the 5th is a male planet and in a male sign and in a male Navaamsa, the person's first-born will be a son. If otherwise, i.e. the lord of the 5th being a female planet in a female sign and female Navaamsa, the first-born will be a daughter.

Determining the character of children 202-219) If the lords of the 5th and Lagna are equal, the person will have an indifferent attitude to his son. If the lords of the 5th and Lagna aspect each other, the son will be obedi- ent to the father. The same is the case if the lords of the 5th and Lagna are in each other's Navaamsa. If the lord of the 5th is in Lagna

Jaataka Tattvam 75

and the lord of Lagna is in the 5th the son will obey his father. The same is the case when the Lagna is aspected by the lord of the 5th and the 5th house is aspected by the lord of Lagna. If the 5lb house is occupied either by the Moon or Venus, the person will have a daughter. There will be no progeny, if Saturn associated with the Moon is in the 11th house. If the 5th house is one of the Vargas of Jupiter and is also a

If the 5th sign is the house of Saturn or the amsa of Saturn and is occupied by the Moon, and associated with Mars or Saturn, the person will have an adopted son. With Mars and Saturn in the 4th, adoption of a son can be predicted. He who is born in Vamsa Viccheda (destruction of the line) Yoga will have an adopted son. If Saturn is in the 5th with Mercury and the Moon, the person will have an adopted son fora price. Danger to pregnancy is proportionate to the number of malefic planets and the. absence of benefics aspecting the Navaamsa occupied by the lord of the 5th. No child will be born if male- fics are in the 5th place from that occupied by Jupiter; and conversely, if benefics are in the -5th position from Jupiter there will be the ble- ssing of children. If Ketu is in the Navaamsa

76 Fifth House

7th and Mars in the 4th. And when the lord of the 7th is in the house of Mars and aspected by Venus. If malefics are in three quadrants the person will have relations with his wife as Well as with a cow. Titillating clitoris 61-63) If Venus and the lord of the 7th are in the house of. Mars the person will have a tendency to clitoral titillation. The same is the case when the lord of the 10th is in the house of Mars and is together with Venus and aspec- ted by Saturn. If the lord of Lagna or the lord of the 2nd is in debilitated sign, and in a debili- tated amsa and is weak, the same tendency prevails. . Size of clitoris 130-131) If the lord of the 7th is together with a malefic the woman will have a long clitoris. The clitoris will be short if the 7th is the house of Mercury, the Moon or Saturn. Wet genitalia, 132-136) If the lord of the 7th is in a watery sign, the woman's genitalia will be wet. The same is the case when either Venus or the 7th house is a wet sign. Also when the 7th house is aspected by the Moon or when Venus

102 Seventh House

is in a wet sign. Again when Mercury is in a wet sign and aspected by Saturn. The same prediction is given when the Moon is either in the 7th or in the amsa of a watery sign.

Number of marriages 64-67) The number of marriages will be the number of very strong planets occupying the 7th house or being aspected by the lord of. the 7th or as many planets in the 8th house or being aspected by the lord of the 8th. Only one marriage is predicted if the lords of the 7th and the 2nd are in debilitated signs, and bene- fics are in quadrants. There will be only one marriage for the period if in the amsas of Mars and the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter are posited. Also when the 7th Navaamsa is that of Jupiter and Mercury is posited there. Number of wives 68-87, 98, 145) If the lord of the 8th is in Lagna or the 7th the person will have two wives. The Lagna lord is in the 6th, the native will have two wives. He will have two wives if the lord of the 2nd is in the 6th and a malefic is in the 7th. Also when the lord of the 7th is together with a benefic and occupies an enemy's house or a debilitated one and a malefic is in the 7th. The Kaaraka of the spouse (Venus)

Jaataka Tattvam 103

associated with a malefic, occupying debilitated house, or enemy's house or the house of an eclipsed planet or in their amsa gives the per- son two wives. If there are several malefics in the 7th house the person will have two wives. Three wives the person will have, if malefics are in the 2nd house and aspected by the lord of the 2nd. If many malefics are in the 7th and hot aspected by the lord of the 7th the person Will have three wives. The same is the case when malefics are in the 1st, the 2nd, and the 7th houses and the lord of the 7th is debilitated or eclipsed or in enemy's house.

The person will have several wives, if the planet in Lagna is in high exaltation and the lord of Lagna is also in its exalted house. The same is the case when the Moon and Venus are * together and strong. If the 7th house is aspec- ted by strong Venus, the native will have several wives. The same prediction is given if the lords of the 1st, the 2nd and the 6th are together with malefics and occupy the 7th house. Also when Saturn is the lord of the 7th and is associated with malefics. If a strong Moon is in the 3rd from the lord of the 7th many wives can be pre- dicted. Again when the lords of the 2nd and the 12th are in the 3rd house and aspected by

104 Seventh House

Jupiter or the lord of the 9th. The same pre- diction also when the lord of the 7th is either in a quadrant or a trine, and is in benefic 'Shad- varga' and is aspected by the lord of the 10th and is in full strength. There will be several wives, if the lords of the 7th and the 11th are associa- ted together or aspect each other. Also the same prediction when the planets occupying the 7th and the 11th are strong and are in trines. If the lord of the amsa occupied by the amsa-lord of . the owner of the 7th house is together with a benefic or with Mercury and is strong and in Paaraavata amsa the native will have a hundred wives. The number of amsa occupied by the lord of the 7th determines the number of wives the person will have. When Venus is together with either the lord of the 7th or the lord of the 9th, the person will lose as many wives as the number of malefics aspecting the Venus planet. Beautiful wife 88) If in the 7th place from the Navaamsa Lagna Jupiter and the Moon are posited, the wife of the person will be very beautiful. Older wife 89) If Saturn is in the 7th place from the Lagnaamsa, the wife will be older than the

The wife will have an ailment in the nose, if Saturn and Mars occupy the house of Mercury or Mars or are in Lagna. But if the lord of the 7th is in the 8th the wife will be an angry and ailing woman. Marrying a married woman 96-97) If Saturn and Mercury are in the . 7th the bride who comes will already be a mar- ried woman. (In experience, it is noted that the woman was engaged to one but later marr -. ies another.) The same is the case if Saturn and the Moon are in the 7th house. Good wife 94, 99-108) If the lord of the 7th is in the

J14

106 Seventh House

4th or the 10th the wife will be very chaste. If either the lord of the 7th. or the Kaaraaka (Venus) is either together with or aspected by a benefic or is posited between benefics, the person will have a chaste wife. If the 7th house is that of a beneficial planet, the person will get a good wife. The same is the case when Venus is in its exaltation or in own Shadvarga or in the 'Gopura' amsa. The wife will be very chaste if the lord of the 7th or aspected by a Jupiter and is strong. If the Sun is the lord of the 7th and aspected by a benefic, the wife will be chaste. The same is the case if Venus is the lord of the 7th and is aspected by a benefic. If Jupiter is in the 7th, the wife will be philanthropic and chaste. The wife will be chaste, if the lord of the 7th is in a quadrant or in a beneficial amsa and is either together with or aspected by a benefic. If the 7th house is aspected by Jupiter, the woman will be of very good character.

Widow 109) If Rahu is in the 7th from Lagnaamsa (it can also be stated as the 4th from Lagnaamsa) the woman will become a widow. (Here it may also mean one who lives apart from her hus- band.)

Jaataka Tattvam 107

Whore 1

110-117) If the lords of the 6th, the 8th and, the 9th are associated with and aspected by malefics, the woman will be a whore. If the lord of the 8th is in the 8th the woman will be a whore. If Saturn is in the 7th house, the per- son will get a bad woman. If the lord of amsa occupied by the lord of the 7th is a malefic, the woman will be of bad character. The same is the case if the lord of the 7th is in an 'evil' Shashthyamsa. Also when the lord of the 7th or the Kaaraka (Venus) is in a debilitated sign or debilitated amsa. Again the woman will be bad, if the Sun is the lord of the 7th and occu- pies a malefic sign or amsa, and is either associ- ated with or aspected by a malefic. If the Moon is the lord of the 7th and is an evil amsa, the woman will be bad.

Servant-maid· * 11) If the Moon is in the 7th house the wife will be like servant-maid. Barren woman 119) If Saturn in Lagpa is in 'Rukshaa' sandhi (i.e. the end portion of Cancer or Scor- pio or Pisces) and Venus is in the 7th house the wife will be barren.

Another wife 121-124) The native marries another wife when the lord of the 7th is weak in the 7th house and is aspected by a malefic. The same is the case when the lord of the 2nd is occupy- ing the 2nd house and is associated with or aspected by a planet with a malefic. Also when ' malefics are in the 7th and the 8th and Mars is in the 12th. Again the second wife is predicted when the lord of the Lagna or the lord of the 7th is weak and occupies a 'Muudha' amsa. Early marriage 125-127) If the lord of the Lagna is near the lord of the 7th early marriage even as a boy is predicted. If a benefic is near the lord of the Lagna or the lord of the 7th early marriage will take place. The same will be the case when the lord of the 7th is in 'Paaraavata' amsa and is strong, and also when the lord of the 7th is in the 2nd house and is strong. Marriage in distant land 128) Marriage will take place in a distant country if either the Kaaraaka (Venus) or the

Jaataka Tattvam 109

lord of the 7th is together with a malefic in a trine. Wife's bosom 129) If the lord of the 7th is with a bene- fie, the wife will have a buxom bosom. Death of wife 137-154) When Venus is together with either the lord of the 7th or the lord of the 9th, theperson will lose as many wives as the num- ber of malefics aspecting the Venus planet. The wife will die if the Sun is in Lagna and Saturn is in the 7th. If the 8th or the 4th place from Venus is flanked by malefics, the wife will die by rope (hanging). Death by hanging (rope) is indicated if Venus is neither associated with nor aspected by a benefic. If Venus is together With a malefic and unaspected by a benefic, the wife dies of fire burns. Fire accident to wife is predicted if malefics are in the 4th and 8th pla- ces from Venus. If Venus and the Sun are in the 9th, the 7th or the 5th house, the person loses his wife. The native loses wife when Saturn and Mars are in the 7th house from the Moon and are associatedJwith Venus. The same is the case when Saturn is in the 8th, Mars in the 6th and Rahu in the 7th. Death of wife is also indicated when a debilitated planet is in

110 Seventh House 4 Lagna or the lord of Lagna is debilitated. The wile's death is caused by public calumny if Rahu and Saturn are in Lagna. Death of wife is indicated if the Sun is in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces. Death due to a fall from high place is possible if malefics are on either side of Venus. Danger to wife is predicted when the lord of the 6th is associated with Venus. If the lord of the 5th is in the 7th and Venus as lord of the 7th is associated with a malefic and is weak, the wife dies in confinement. Death of wife isindicated if either Venus or the Moon is debilitated and occupies the 4th house. The same is the case if the lord of the 7th is in a cruel Shashthyamsa. Affliction to wife 155-161) If any of the planets Saturn, Mars, Rahu or Ketu is in the 7th house the wife will be afflicted by ghost possession. A malefic weakened and in eclipse occupying the 7th house causes death of wife. Also when Venus and Mercury are in the 7th house. Death is also indicated if the.Moon is in the 12th and Venus in the 7th. If the Sun in full strength occupies the 7th, death of wife is . likely. Also when Mars is in the 7th and the lord of the 2nd is in the 6th house. If a malefic is in the 7th place from Venus or if Venus is

Jaataka Tattvam 111

associated with a malefic, the wife's face will be disfigured. Happiness to wife 162) If Venus occupies the house of a retrograde planet the person will give happi- ness to wife in bed. Conjugal bliss 146,163-164) When the 7th house either from Lagna or from the Moon is aspected either by a benefic or the lord of the 7th or associated with it, the person will have a happy married life. If the lord of Lagna aspects the planet occupying own house and Venus in in the 7th. house, the person will have a happy married life. He will have conjugal bliss if Saturn and the Moon are in the 10th or the 4th place from the Moon. Trade / business 165-167) If Saturn and the Moon are in the Libra amsa, the person will be engaged in trade and merchandise.

Female horoscope effects 1-7) Whatever effects have been stated for male horoscopes are also applicable to female horoscopes. Whatever is not applicable to women is attributed to their husbands. By looking at the Janma Lagna and the Moon's Lagna in a woman's horoscope her appearance, and from the 7th house her married welfare and from the 8th, her widowhood or otherwise can be determined. The woman will have feminine characteristics if her ascendant or the Moon's Lagna is in an even sign; if aspected by bene- fics, her character will be very good, and her behaviour nice. If the ascendant or the Moon's Lagna is in odd sign, she will be masculine in nature and appearance; and if aspected by or ' associated with malefics, she will be sinful and characterless. Whichever is stronger of the two-the ascendant or the Moon's Lagna-the effects of their trimsaamssa. are narrated below : The girl born in the Mars trimsaamsa in the house of Mars Will be roguish, even when young; in Mercury trimsaamsa (in Mars house), she will be charming; in Jupiter trimsaamsa very good-natured; in Venus trimsaamsa will he of bad character; and in Saturn trimsaamsa a servant.

Mercury turns him to an 'Aajeevee', Jupiter to a 'Tridandee', Venus to a 'Chakradhara' and Saturn to a 'Nagna' (wearer of no clothes).
