MY FATHER AND PRECEPTOR

I BEG TO DEDICATE THIS HUMBLE WORK OF MINE NOT MERELY AS A TOKEN OF FILIAL REVERENCE, BUT ALSO IN RESPECTFUL ADMIRATION OF HIS GENUINE LEARNING AND FIRM CHARACTER.

PREFACE

ASTROLOGY is a Science and it is very old The Hindus are the o dest surviving nation in the world and Astrology is their oldest science. One of the six Vedangas is Jyotisha or Astrology. . Sir William Jones says in his cssay on 'the Antiquity of the Indian Zodiac'. 1 " There is no evidence indeed, of a communi- cation between the Hindus and Arabs on any subject of literature or science; for, though we have reason to believe that a commercial intercourse subsisted in very early times between Yemen and the western coast of India, yet the Brahmins, who alone are permitted to read the six Vedangas, one of which is the astronomical sastra, were not then commercial and most probably, neither could nor would have conversed with Arabian merchants The hostile irruptions of the Arabs into Hindustan in the eighth century. and that of the Moghuls under Chengiz in the thirteenth were not likely to change the astronomical system of the Hindus." 2 "In the first place, the Brahmins were always too proud to borrow their science from the Greeks, Arabs, Moghuls or any nation of Mlechchhas, as they' call those who are ignorant of the Vedas and have not

studied the language of the Gods ..... When I mentioned to different Pandits, at several times and in several places, the opinion of M. Montucla (that the Hindus received them by intervention of the Arabs), they could not prevail on themselves to oppose it by serious argument, but some laughed heartily; others with a sarcastic smile said it was a pleasant imagination; and all seemed to think it a notion bordering on phrenzy. In fact, although the figures of the twelve Indian signs bear a wonderful resemblance to those of the Greecian, yet, they are too much varied for a mere copy, and the nature of the variation proves them to be original; nor is the resemblance more extraordinary than that which has often been observed ... ."

There are several works on Astrology written by ancient Indians. One of these is Brihat Jataka (a) written by Varahamihira. He was born near Ujjain. The cate of his birth is not known, but Mr. A A. Macdonell says that "he began his calculations about 505 A.D., and, according to the commentators, Varahamihira died in 587 A.D. He composed four works mostly in Arya (enuf) metre, viz, Brihat Samhita (.बृहत्संहिता), Brihat Jataka (बृहज्जातक) or Hora Sastra (होराशासत्र), Laghu Jataka (उघुजातक) and Pancha Siddhantika (पञ्चसिद्धान्तिका). The date of these works can safely be assigned to the middle of the sixth century." In addition to the above four works there is also another work of his by name Yoga Yatra ( orrorat), a manuscript copy of which is with Mr. Kerne in Leyden, Holland. Varahamihira, as is evident in the following stanza, is

vii

stated to be one of the "Nine Gems" in the king Vikrama's Court.

धन्वतरिक्षपणकामर सिंहशङ्कु- वेतालभट्टघट कर्पर का लिदासाः । ख्यातो वराइमिहिरो नृपते: सभायां रत्नानि वै वररुचिर्नत विक्रमस्य ॥

Some are of opinon that Dhanvantari, Amarasimha, Varahamihira, Kalidasa, Vararuchi and the rest could not all have been contemporaries as Vikrama himself disappeared from the sixth century A.D. Hence the verse has lost all the chronological validity with refcrence to the date of the authors it enumerates; yet it has been ascertained that Varahamihira actually does belong to the sixth century A.D.

Of the five works written by Varah imihira, Brihat Jataka (a%) enjoys a great popularity. It is even stated that the Greeks and other nations had knowledge of this work when they studied Astrology.

There are five commentaries on Brihat Jataka :- (1) Bhattotpala (भट्टोत्पल) (2) Mudrakshari (मुद्राक्षरी) (3) Subodhini (सुबोधिनी) (4) Sripatiyam (श्रीपतीयम्) and (5) Dasadhyayee ( 1ef). It may be asked, when there are several translations of this work already published, why superpose on the public another English translation of the same work ?

Without detracting from the merit or sufficiency of the translations already in existence, the present

viii

author would point to some special features of his own work in justification of placing it before the public-' (i) Some publications contain only the English rendering without the original text. (ii) All appear to have undiscriminatingly followed only Bhattotpala's commentary for their interpretations. In the persent work- (1) the original text is printed in bold Devanagari characters and the translation in bold English type ; (2) every stanza in the original is followed by an equivalent one taken from a very rare and hitherto unprinted work, Horamakaranda (होरामकरन्द) by Gunakara (गुणाकर), a fatter author, who seems to have lived after Bhattotpala ; (3) The interpretation of Bhattotpala is not always followed in this translation. Points of difference have been noted in their appropriate

(4) Explanatory notes, designed to help in places ;

elucidation of the text, have been prefixed to eleven of the chapters; . (5) Indian and western systems of Astrology have been compared as far as possible. with a view to bring out points of similarity or difference;

(6) the chapter on Ashatakavarga which is special to our Hindu Astrology with nothing corres- ponding to it in the Western system is very important and has been treated in considerable detail. The Ashtakavarga Plate (p. 212) and its use are also described in detail. This plate enables benefic dots to be computed with far greater facility than would be possible with the usual laborious process of calculation; (7) a sample horoscope has been worked in the Ayurdaya (oniz) chapter: This has been continued in the chapters on Dasa («n) and Nashta Jataka (नष्टजातक); (8) illustrative examples have been freely given in the notes to facilitate comprehension of the theory propounded ; (9) parallel passages from other works with his translations for the same whenever necessary and all his notes are printed in smaller type to distinguish them from the text ; (10) the list of contents of this work is another special feature of this book as it enables the reader to have at a glance an idea of the nature of the subject and its treatment;

No effort has been spared to render this work easy and highly useful to the public. The author is however conscious that further improvements are necessary and possible and would welcome suggestions and criticism which will be gratefully ack nowledged and incorpo- rated in future editions.

The author begs to express his deep indebtedness to Mr. M. Raghavendra Bhatt, the eminent Astrologer of Mangalore, for the very valuable suggestions given in the course of the preparation of this work, which, but for such aid and advice, could not,have been under- taken. He also takes this opportunity of offering his thanks to Mr. E. H. Bailey. D.A., F.A S., Editor of the British Journal of Astrology, London, for bis kind reference to this work in the issue of the journal for November 1928 in which he has promised to write out a special preface. This will be printed after its receipt and supplied to all purchasers.

The author's profound thanks are also due to the Government of His Highness the Maharaja of Mysore for graciously according permission to get this book printed at the Government Press-

PREFACE TO THE PRESENT EDITION

I have great pleasure in placing before the Public the Second Edition of this Monumental work- This could not be done earlier though there was very heavy. demand for the book due to various reasons which were beyond my perview. I crave the pardon of the public for the delay.

My experience in this Science for the last quarter centuary has convinced me beyond any doubt that Astrology is definitely a Science and not a mere piece of mythology or fable. The only difference between this Science and other branches of Science is that this requires a Multidimensional analysis as against the normal three diamensional approach. A good amount of intutive knowledge coupled with a disciplined life is necessary besides a thorough knowledge of the Science Bhattotpala rightly observes in his Prasnagnana that the sincerity of the qucrist and his faith in the science is absolutely necessary before the Astrologer could procecd further. It is my earnest desire that the several scientists in India and abroad should seriously consider introducing Astrology as a faculty for study. They will be doing nothing new but only reviving what our Universities such as Nalanda, Takhasila were doing.

I would be failing in my duty if I do not acknowledge with gratitude the spontanious wonderful flnancial assistance rendered by the authorities of the

xii

Syndicate Bank, Manipal. But for this help, it would not have been possible for me to bring forth this edition. I am really happy to note that there is such an organisation like the Syndicate Bank to come to the aid of publishers like me to bring about such rare books.

My thanks are also due to the proprietor Sadhana Press, 66/1, V.h Main Road, Gandhinagar, Bangalore-9, for his excellent execution of this work with minimum time. I also offer my thanks to my friends who have helped me in this effort.

Whatever has been acquired by a person through his af (karma)- whether good or bad-done in previous births, the hora now reveals its fruition or effects. NGTES. The commentary दशाध्यायी (Dasadhyayi) says that since गुलिक (Gulika) is the first planet to be considered as per all schools of Astrology, this sloka, if interpreted in another way, gives the method of finding out when Gulika rises at day and when at night on the several days of the week,

Rasi, Kshetra, Griha, Riksha, Bha and Bhavana are synonymous terms. NOTES. The twelve Rasis are supposed to represent the several parts of the body of Kalapurusha, Mesha representing thelheadland so on. The object of this division is to find out the full growth or otherwise of the different parts of the body of the owner of the horoscope according as the Rasis typifying them are assooiated with benefic or malefic planets. In the case of all horoscopes, the several parts of the body referred to above are generally understood to be represented by the signs beginning from the Lagna. गुणाकर :- मेषो मूर्द्धा वदनवृषभो दोर्युगं वैणिकाख्यो धातु: कर्की हृदयमुदरं केसरी स्त्री कटिश्च। वस्तिस्तौलि: प्रजननमलिश्चापभृख्चोरुयुग्मं नक्रो जानुर्द्वयमथ घटस्तस्य जंधे झषोंघ्री H

NOTES. स्वचर: (swacharaha) is another reading for खचरा: (khal charaha(. It would then mean regions appropriate to the severa- signs. These are described in Jatakaparijata I, slokas 10.12. The following conclusions may be drawn'from this sloka :- द्विपाद '(dwipada) or biped signs are Gemini, Virgo (Libra, Sagittarius (first half) and Aquarius. Garqa (chatushpada) or quadruped signs are Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius (second half) and Capricorn (first half).

The first Navamsa in the several signs from Mesha onwards commence respectively with Mesha, Makara, Tula and Kataka. The dords of the Dwadasamsas or rsth portions of a sign are to be reckoned from that sign.

NOTES. It may be noted here that the first line of the sloka stops at वृश्चिकराशि (Vrischika Rasi). These 8 Rasis indicate material signs and all planets so far are also material planets. The second line indicates spiritual signs and Jupiter and Saturn are spiritual planets. Another indication is Jyeshta (ज्येष्ठा) and Moola (मूला) are condemned. Also note that the first नवांश (Navamsa) in every Rasi is owned by a (chara) sign. गुणाकर :- सिंहादिचक्रार्द्धविभुर्विवर्वान् कर्क्यादितः शीतरुचिर्विलोमात्। ओजस्विन: सूर्यगृहेषु खेटाश्र्ान्द्रेषु जाता मृदवो भवन्ति ॥ कण्ठीरवं विक्रमिणं विलोक्य र्वीयं पदं तत्र चकार सूर्यः । सैत्या तदासन्नतया कुलीरे निजं बचन्धालयमेणलक्ष्म्या ।। अन्ये प्रहा गृह्ययाचिषया क्रमेण विग्मांशुशीवतमसो: सधनं समीयुः। प्राप्तकमेण ददतुर्भवनानि तौतु ताराम्हा द्विभवनास्तव एव जाताः ।l क्षितिसुवसितसौम्या चन्द्रसूर्यश्ञशुक-

Sloka 7 .- The Trimsamsas or degrees, i.e., roth portions allotted in an odd sign to Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are respectively 5, 5, 8, 7 and 5. In an even sign, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars have 5, 7, 8, 5 and 5 degrees respectively. The concluding portion of the signs Kataka, Vrischika and Meena is called Riksha S.ındhi.

NOTES. Trimsamsa divisions are greatly useful in female horoscopes. Each of the planets other than the Sun and the Moon own two signs, one odd and the other even. When a planet is in an odd sign, then take the udd Trimsamsa Rasi of the planet in whose Trimsamsa the first planet lies. Thus a planet in an odd sign in a गुरुत्रिशांश (Guru Trimsamsa) must be placed in the त्रिशांशकुण्डली (Trimsamsa kundali) in Dhanus (an odd sign) and not in Meena, while a planet in an even sign in गुरुत्रिशांश (Guru Trimsamsa) must be placed in Meena. गुणाकर :- पद्रेषुनागाद्रिसमीरणानां म्रिंशल्लवानां विषमेऽधिनाथाः । भूपुत्रमन्देज्यबुधासुरेज्या युम्मे विपर्यस्ततया पुनस्ते।। मीनालिकर्कटविराम इहर्क्षसन्धि:।।

NOTES. Out of the material signs (8 signs as before from Mesha to Vrischika) accept the first four, and out of the philosophical siges, accept the first two. These six are night signs and are strong'at night. The rest are diurnal signs and have strength in the day. Leaving Mithuna in the above, we get the geray (Prishtodaya) signs. Leaving out Pisces in the other six, we get the aipter (Sirshodaya) signs. According to some, Mithuna is also an सभयोद्य (Ubhayodaya) sign.

All reptile and watery signs when in Kendra position possess strength in the two periods of junction between day and night (morning and evening).

NoTes. The Lagna becomes strong when occupied or aspected by Jupitet, Mercury or the lord of the Lagna. The same is the case with overy house and not otherwise. द्विपदाद्य: (Dwipadadayaha)-(1) द्विपद (Dwipada), (2) चतुष्पाद (Chatuspada) and (3) e (Keeta) and (Jala); [these go together]. If bipeds occupy Kendras in day time, they are strong; if quadrupeds occupy Kendras at night, they are strong; if centipeds and watery signs occupy Kendras at the two sandhyas, they are strong. The Sun in the Lagna or the 7th house indicates Sandhya kala. The Sun in the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th house indicates day time, The Sun in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th house indicates night time. Take an example: Mesha Lagna. Birth at night time, Lagna becomes strong. Kataka as 1th house becomes weak. Libra as 7th is algo weak. Makara as 10th is partially weak. The results therefore of the 4th and 7th houses are not good. and of the 10th are partially good, because it is half-quadruped. Another interpretation .-= grer (Kendrastthath) is another reading for agten: (Kendrastthaha). The meaning will then be : If in a day birth, bipeds occupy Kendra houses, they are good ; if quadruped signs happen to be qoTET (Panaphara) h ›uses in a night birth, these houses are good; If, in a twilight birth, the reptile and watery signs happen to be Apoklima Bhavas, they are good. Take an example: Mesha Lagna. Birth at night. . The 2nd house is a quadruped sign,; it is good. The same remark for the 5th. That this interpretation is rational is borne out by (1) it will give strength to all Bhavas as otherwise it will be partial to treat of only four houses (viz., the Kendras); (2) the author has dready talked of Kendras in the 17th sloka. But this view is not accepted by Badarayane ( eror). : The latter helfof the sloka: Since the latter part immedi-d ately follows, this is given to indicate the period when good or: 'bad resuits iill folow.

The Sun and Moon are kings; Mars is thej commander in chief; Mercury is the heir-apparent; Jupiter and Venus are the ministers and Saturn is the servant. NorEs. In the notes to Sloka 4 of Chapter I the several parts of the Kalapurusha (1774) beginning with the head were stated to be counted from Mesha and those of the owner of a horoscope from the Lagna. This is so for as the external appearnce, etc., of the several parts of the body are concerned. Now, the in- herent qualities of the person are to be ascertained from the planets. These planets are then known as Karakas ( r5: ) and appertain to the owner of the horoscope just in the same way as they do to the Kalapurusha. The several.constituents of Kalapurusha will be strong or weak in proportion to the strength of the several planets repre senting them. But Saturn is an exception. When; Saturn is strong, there is less of misery; when he is weak misery pre- dominates.

The effects of these qualities will reveal themselves during the dasa periods of the planets concerned. By the word Sukha (aa ) used in ths text and translated as 'happiness' both weath and progeny are also to be understood in addition to health and knowledge. Jupiter is the giver of health, wealth, progeny and knowledge and that is why his association and aspect are said to be extremely beneficial. In saying that the Sun and the Moon are sovereigns, it must be understood that the Sun is the king. the Moon being the queen.

The Moon in conjunction with or in the two signs on either side of the Sun is weak. The Moon is generally a benefic. But a very weak Moon, must be treated as malignant. Mercury is by nature a benefic planet. But his benefic quali- ties are so weak that he may better be classed as indifferent- neither benefic nor malefic. He becomes really benefic or malefic according to his association. If he is associated with weak Moon the Sun, Mars or Saturn, he is a malefic. When associated with the waxing Moon (afa-Vriddhi Chandra), Jupiter or Venus, he is a benefic. When he is alone, he is more a benefic than a malefic.

Application of the principle .- The Sun afflicted by (prog es- sion) the Moon will cause ill-health and bad things in Grishma. The Moon afflicting Mercury by progression will bring ill- health in Sarat Ritu (51TEa). Good things may be similarly predicted for the periods if there be good aspects. Suppose for example the Moon has progressed to As vini Nakshatra afflicted by Mars squarc opposition Saturn in a horos. cope at the same time. We have then to say that troubles began in February and March (frfrT-Sisira-Saturn s) and very badly in May and June (ahow -Grishma-Mars'.)

If the progressed Moon has come in to affliction with radix Moon, the Moon's period (being ada-Varshartu) will be the period when trouble will arise. N-B .- A planet afflicting the progressed Moon indicates the period of the planet and not of the Moon. The Moon must come to a good position in a Rasi or house and there must be good aspects at the same time by planets; then only that period will be good and not otherwise. गुणाकर :- स्थूलं नूतनममिदग्धमुदकष्टिन्नं च मध्यं दृढं जीर्ण वस्रमुशन्ति तीव्रकिरणा तात्रं मणि काञ्नम् । युक्तिं द्रव्यमनिन्दितं च रजतं मुक्ता च लोहं कमात् देवाम्भोनलकेलिकोशशयनक्षोण्युत्कराधीश्वराः॥

Application of the principle .- If illness is indicated by Saturn, it is long-standing; if indicated by Mars, it is of short duration. This should be applied with reference to Chapter XXIII. Again, suppose at the time of a query the Vrischika Navamsa in the Mithuna Lagna to have risen (2 signs 4° 12').

and the position of Mars (the lord of Vrischika) to be (9 signs 11° 13'). The period typified by Mars is a day. As the Vrischika Navamsa is the 2nd Navamsa of Mithuna, the completion or suceess of the business has to be predicted to happen in two days. Or we may predict thus; Since Mars occupies the Mesha Navamsa (of Makara) which happens to be the 6th when counted from Vrischika, the time in which the success or otherwise is expected to occur will be 6 days.

provided they do not conflict with the lordship of the remaining houses. NOTES. In the first half of the sloka, Varahamihira sums up the opinions of. others which do not commend to him. He agrees with Satyacharya whose view is as follows :- सुहदस्तिकोणभवनाद्रहर्य सुतभे व्ययेऽथ धनभवने। खजने निधने धर्मे स्वोच्चे च भवन्ति नो शेषाः ।। Planets are friendly to any given planet when they happen to own the 5th, 12th, 2nd, 4th, 8th and 9th houses counted from the planet's Moolatrikona Rasi or when they happen to own the planet's exaltation Rasi. The rest are his enemies. Place the planet in its Moolatrikona and mark the 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th, the planet's exaltation Rasi, the 8th and the 4th. Planets twice invited become friends; planets once invited become acquaintances and planets that arc uninvited become enemies. But the Sun and the Moon become friends on a single invitation (as each owns only a single sign in the Zodiac). The Sun invites Mars twicc, Jupiter twice, the Moon once and Mercury once. Venus and Saturn are uninvited. Therefore Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon are the friends of the Sun, Mercury his acquaintance.

Ascertain which are the planets that own two houses out of the seven already mentioned and thus determine what planets are naturally friendly, what are naturally neutral and what are inimical and also find out which are for the time being friendly. If there is friendliness both naturally and temporarily on the part of a planet, he is a great friend. Those that are enemies both ways are deadly foes invariably- That planet is but a friend which has the character of being friendly and neutral from the two points of view, while the one which has the character of being neutral and inimical is an enemy. A planet that is inimical in the one case and friendly in the other is to be taken as neutral.

CHAPTER III

वियोनिजन्माध्यायः

[Note .- In this Chapter, the words ajs7 (Amsa) and Bhaga) have been used by Varahamihira to imply Dwadasamsas and not Navamas as will be seen by the word farem (Dwirasabhaga) in the opening sloka.

This Chapter can be used with advantage for horary pur- poses, when a thing is lost or an animal is lost, or to enable the agriculturist and breeders of animals to find out the best season for cultivation or for breeding purposes. It can also be applied to an ordinary horoscope to see how much of animal nature the Jataki (Ga+t) has or to see if the horoscope indicates human activity or becomes useless like inanimate beings. Further, it can be utilised for ascertaining if the native is fortunate or not with respect to animals or cultivation and ii so to what extent.

Sloka 1 .- If, at the time of the birth of any living creature or of a query regarding it, the malefic planets are found to be strong and the benefic ones weak, and if a neutral planet (Saturn or Mercury)

be in kendra position or aspect the rising sign, the astrologer may declare the birth of a living being similar in form to that indicated by the Moon's Dwada- samsa provided this Dwadasamsa belongs to what is called a fauifa (Viyoni) sign (Mesha, Vrishaba, Kataka, Simha, Virschika, first half of Dhanus, Makara, or Meena).

NOTES.

वियोनिजन्म (Viyonijanma) means a living being inferior in status to man, whether of the animal or vegetable kingdom.

For an animal to be born, determine whether the Dwada- samsa occupied by the Moon belongs to a Viyoni Rasi (faanfa- T7fT). These are the Rasis where an animal is likley to be born. Along with the above, the benefics should be weak, and the malefics should be strong. One of the neutral planets like Mercury or Saturn should be in an angnlar house with respect to the- Lagna or aspect the Lagna. Then only we must predict that an animal indicated by the house owning the Dwadasamsa occupied by the Moon will be born.

If a Pakshi Drekkana as above is rising and be aspected or occupied by Saturn or the Moon, then birds are born or indi- cated as the case may be. If Makara, Mesha, Kataka and Tula (movable signs) Dwadasamsas are rising aspected or occupied by Saturn or the Moon, then birds are born or indicated as the case may be. If the Dwadasamsas of Mercury (Mithuna or Kanya) are rising occupied or aspected by Saturn or the Moon, then birds : re born or indicated as the case may be.

In the above, Saturn indicates birds who live on earth as opposed to birds living in water. The Moon indicates birds on water. The previous sloka holds good for predicting the colour of the bird. Bhattotpala and Gunakara interpret ajs7 in the sloka as Navamsa.

Whether they spring in land or water is to be decided from the character of the rising Dwadasamsa; that is, from the fact of its belonging to a land or watery sign. The trees growing in land or water will be as many as there are Rasis from the Lagna up to the next land or watery sign. NoTes. The Lagna, the Moon, Jupiter and the Sun must be power- less.

(Viyoni) sign and at the same time be a land or watery Rasi, then we may say that the trees are either in land or watery places. Suppose it is Makara Dwadasamsa (first half) that is rising. This will indicate a tree in a garden or park. Suppose the Lagna to be 17° in Kanya. Then the rising Dwadasamsa is that of Meena. This will indicate a tree near the river. If the तरुपति (Tarupati)-the ruler of the Lagna Dwadasa- msa-is away from the Lagna, predict the number of the trees by the signs intervening the Lagna and the anqfa (Tarupati). According to aetegeffi (Dasadhyayee) the following is the rule. Find out the Ayurdaya of the o3e (Kundali). Convert the years, months and days into days. The number arrived at will indicate the number of trees or plants. Suppose the 14th degree of Mithuna to be rising. Then the rising Dwadasamsa is the 6th in Mithuna Rasi, i.e., Vrischika. If at the time the position of Mars (the lord of Vrischika) be Kumbha, the number of trees will be the number of Rasis separating Mars from the Lagna, i.e, from Mithuna'to Kumbha, i.c., 9. Again, from the slokas of Saravali quoted below, the following has also to be noted: If the lord of rising Dwadasamsa either occupy his exaltation sign or be retrograde in his motion, the number already obtained should be trebled. If he be in his Vargottamamsa, or his own Dwadasamsa, Navamsa or Drekkana, such number should be doubled. For example, If Mars in the instance cited be retrograde in his motion, or instead of occupying Kumbha be in Makara, his exaltation sign, the number 8 (Makara being the 8th from Mithuna) should be trebled. We shall thus have 24. But if Mars should occupy Mesha Navamsa or Mesha. Dwadasamsa of Kumbha, i.e., his own sign, the number of trees will be only 9 x 2 or 18 and so on. सारावली- लग्नार्कजीव चन्द्रैरबलै: शेषैश्च मूलयोनि: स्यात्। स्थलजलभवनविभागा वृक्षादीनां प्रभेदकराः ॥ 7

But if the Moon occupies a different position, i.e., is in an eqarna (Upachaya- sthana. 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th) and is aspected by a benefic male planet, the woman lovingly unites with a man. NOTES The Moon governs fluid matter of a woman. Mars signi- fies the blood of a woman. A combination of the two causes menstruation. Fto (Narena). The word means a man in the true sense. that is one capable of procreating. aifaeit means a female who can menstruate. पीडर्क्ष (Peedarksha) Rasis are अनुपचय (Anupa- chaya) places, i.e., Ist, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 12th houses, qr (Upachaya) places are 31d, 6th, 10th and 11th houses. By the word grgng (Subhapumgraha), Jupiter is here meant as he is the only benefic male planet. If the Moon in his transit occupies an 3qa4 (Uppachaya) place and be aspected hy Jupiter on the 5th day after menstruation, the woman joins her h and and conceives.

54 बृहदजातके [CH. IV

The उपचय (Upachaya) and अनुपचय (Anupachaya) places are to be counted from the Lagna and not from the nfr (Janma Rasi-Moon's place). It is necessary that Jupiter must throw his aspect on the Moon on the 5th day after menstruation for conception to be possible. Along with this, should any hermaphrodite planet strong in position aspect the Moon in transit, the conception cannot take place. The position of all planets except the Moon should be with reference to the radix, (nativity at birth.) If we take a woman's horoscope, it will be seen that there will only be 3 houses where Mars afflicts the Moon. But 2 of them or likely to be oreaf (Peedarksha) houses. In the following horoscope Mars aspects Kumhha, Vrisha. bha and Mithuna which happen to. be the 7th, 10th and 11th houses respectively. Leaving off the 10th and 11th which are Gyaa (Upachaya) places, Kumbha is the only Rasi where when the Moun comes in liis transit that menstruation is capable of effect in giving or causing conception.

For concrpuion to take place on the 5th or the following nights, the Moon by transit on the 5th day after menstruation must receive the aspect of Jupiter without there being any other aspect from a hermaphrodite planet. From the above principle it is possib'e to deduce whether a woman will have issue or not .. The following. additional information is found in other works :--

If, in the case of a woman as soon as she bathes after the stoppage of the menses, the Moon in her orbit should occupy an Upachaya Rasi and be at the same time aspected by powerful Jupiter, she will have sexual intercourse with her husband. If the Moon in the above said Upchay a position be aspected by the Sun, she will have sexual union with an officer of the king. If the aspecting planet be Mars, the union will be with a voluptu- ary. If it be Mercury, the intercourse will be with a fickle- minded person. If Venus be the aspecting planet, it will be with a beautiful lover. If it be Saturn, she will have criminal intimacy with an ordinary servant. If the Moon be aspected by several malefic planets, the woman will leave her own house and become a prostitute. गुणाकर :- शशिक्षिति जहेतुकं जगुरिहार्तवं योपितः शशिन्यपचयक्षगे धरणिसूुना वीक्षिते। अपत्यजननक्षमं ह्युपचयाश्रिते प्रेयसो बृहस्तिविलोकिते स्वपतिसङ्गमाप्नोति सा ॥ भौमेन युक्ते विटमद्गिनो स्यात् तिग्मांशुना राजजनानुरक्ता । मन्देन भृत्याहितचित्तवृत्तिः सर्वैश्रदष्टे हिमभासि वेश्या ॥ Also सारावली- अनुपचयर।शिसंस्थे कुमुदावरवान्धवे रुधिरदृष्टे। प्तिमासं युवतीनां भवतीह रजो ब्रुवन्त्येके । इन्दुर्जलं कुजोऽग्िर्जलमसृगथवाभिरेव पित्तं स्यात्। एवं रक्ते होने पित्तेन रजः प्रवर्त्तते स्त्रीषु ।। एवं यद्भवति जो गर्भस्य निमित्तमेव वथितं तत्। अनयसंस्थे विपुलं प्रतिमासं दर्शनं तम्य ।। उचयभवने शशभृद्दृष्टो गुरुणा सुहृद्भिरथवासौ। पुंसा करोति योगं विशेषतः शुकसंदष्टः ॥ चन्द्रे कुजेन दृष्टे पुष्पवती सह विटेन संयोगम्। राजपुरुषेग रविणा रविजेनाप्नोति भृत्येन ।। एकैफेन फलं स्याद् दृष्टेनान्यैः कुजादिभि: पापैः। सर्पेः खवगृहं त्यत्तवा गच्छति वेश्यापदं युवतीः ॥

If the ertatrfer (Asta Rasi) or the 7th house from the enena (Adhana) Lagna be aspected or occupied by a malefic pianet, the union will be in wrath; but if the अस्तलम (Asta Lagna) be aspected or occupied by benefic planets, the union will abound in amorous play and laughter. NOTES. It should be noted that the twelve Rasis are Night and Day Signs. Night signs represent enjoyment in darkness and Day signs enjoyment in the presence of light either of a lamp or of the Moon. Further, Mesha and Vrishabha represent the enjoyment of a quadruped of the ram and buffalo kind. Mithuna, Kanya, Tula, Dhanus' first half and Kumbha represent the enjoyment of a human being. Vrischika and Makara ( latter half), Kataka and Meena- (Keeta)-represent copulation among centipeds which is bad. Simha (Lion) represents an enjoyment by force. Why ? Because, the lion is a forcible animal. Makara ( Ist half ) is very good for enjoyment; and so on. A combination of the above two ideas will come to this: consider that Mesha represents the 7th house at the time of enjoyment. A man and a woman under such circumstances enjoy each other like a quad- ruped in darkness, Similarly for the rest If malefics aspect or occupy the 7th house from the enTHey (Adhana Lagna), then the enjoyment takes place much against the wish of one of the two. Another interpretation .- If malefics aspect or occupy the 7th, the woman concerned gets into anger after satisfaction if Mars should be the planet concerned ; without satisfaction or

SL. 3] चतुर्था उध्याय: 5

enjoyment if Saturn be the occupying or aspecting planet. If the Sun be the malefic concerned, there is a repulsion at the outset itself. If benefics aspect or occupy the 7th, then the union will be followed by विलास (Vilasa) and हास (Hasa), i.e., real con- jugal blişs. . शुणाकर :- यथास्तमयमाभ्रितो रतिसुपैति राभिश्रुवं निषेकसमयोत्सवे भवति तत्ख्वभाव: पुमाम्। असद्ग्रह्युतेक्षिते स्मरगृहे सरोषा रतिः शुभैर्युतविलोकिते रमरविलासहासोत्कटा॥ Also सारावली- द्विपदादयो विलमात्सुरतं कुर्वन्ति सप्तमे यद्वत्। तद्वत्स्त्रीपुरुषाणां गर्भाधाने समादेश्यम् ।। अस्तेऽशुभयुतदृष्टे सरोषकलहं भवेद्राम्यम्। सौम्यं सौम्यैः सुरतं वात्स्यायनसंप्रयोगिकाख्यातम् ॥

Conception will equally take place when Jupiter occupies the Lagna or one of the Trikona houses. These planetary conjunctions fail of effect with regard to people void of virility, just as the Moon-beams in the case of the blind. NOTES. The commentator Bhattotpala explains that it is not necessary that alt the four foregoing planets should be simultancously in 8

their Navamsas; for conception to take place, it is enough that the Sun and Venus are in their Navamsas in the अपचय (Apacha- ya) houses of the male, or the Moon and Mars occupy their own Navamsas in उपचय (Upachaya) places of the female. If Jupiter is trine to the erera (Adhana) Lagna, the union is likely to bear fruit. विबोजिनां (Vibeeginam) here means'of those who have lost their seed or potentiality on account of old age, accident or operation.'

(1) If Mars and Saturn occupy the 7th place from the Sun at the time of copulation, the man is likely to suffer very much from venereal complaints. (2) If Mars and Saturn occupy the 7th place from the Moon at the time of copulation, it is the woman that would suffer. Another meaning-(3) If Mars occupy the 7th from the Sun, and Saturn, the 7th from the Moon, the man and woman will respectively fall ill.

In other words the above cases can be briefly put thus : Sun opposition Mars and Saturn; Moon opposition Mars and Saturn; Sun opposition Mars; and Moon opposition Saturn. If such a yoga as mentioned above happens to be in the radix of a native, we may safely say that the native is bound to suffer from venereal diseases. This is exactly the western princi- ple also. If Mars and Saturn at conception be on both sides of the Sun, i.c., 12th and 2nd from the Sun or 12th and 2nd from the

60 बृहजाक्षके [CH. IV

Moon, the death of the man or the woman should be predicted. In the above principle Mars should be in the 12th and Saturn in the 2nd; it is an important principle that Saturn in the visible half of the zodiac will increase the life. Hence in the present instance if the life is to be cut short, Saturn should be in the 2nd alone. कुजार्कजौ युतौ तथा तदेकदष्टया (Kujarkajau yutau tatha ta- deka drishtya) means Mars must be in conjunction with the Sun and Saturn in opposition or in the 4th from the Lagna.

Failing to play the role of parents, each of these pairs of planets get the designation of paternal uncle and maternal aunt. They become propitious to the pair they represent when they occupy the odd and even houses (the male among them being in the odd, the female, in the even). NOTES. The Sun represents the father at day time, and Venus, the mother; Saturn, the paternal uncle; and the Moon, the mother's sister. At night time, Saturn represents the father, Moon, the mother ; the Sun, the paternal uncle; and Venus, the mother's sister. If the Sun is in an odd sign, and Venus in an even one, it is good for both the man and the woman. Similarly, Saturn in an odd sign and the Moon in an even one is good for paternal uncle and maternal aunt. The Sun and the Saturn are planets that stay tolerably for a long period in a sign, viz., 30 days and 30 months respectively. If the above principle is applied, it becomes fallacious as there cannot be so many deaths among those born during the periods when the planets in their transits complete their passage in that sign. It should therefore be taken as entsnna (Ojabhava) and not ओजराशि (Ojarasi). Then it will prove correct.

Sloka 9 .- If Mars and the Sun occupy respectively the 1st and the 7th house, such a woman will die in consequence of an operation. If the lord of a month of advanced pregnancy be afflicted and inauspicious, she will die by miscarriage or abortion.

NOTES. If it be before 7 months, the death is by an abortion and the after effects of abortion. The month of death of a pregnant woman can be easily determined in the following manner: The several planets ruling over the ten months (in embryo) are given in the 16th sloka infra. Whichever planet is weakest will cause the death of the woman in his month. The day also may be similarly determined as per Chapter VI, Sloka 12 infra. गुणाकर :- स्मरतनुगतयोर्दिनकर कुजयो:। भवति हि मरणं प्रहरणजनितम् ॥ विक्रमशञांलिनि मासपतौ स्याद्रर्भविवृद्धिरथोब्चगते वा। नोचगते कलुषेऽस्तगते वा पापयुते खलु गर्भनिपातः ॥ प्राग्लग्रस्थौ मन्दवक्रो निषेके नारीगर्भखतावहदेत् भवेताम्। तत्संदष्टे तद्गहर्थे दिमांशौ यद्वाक््रीणां जायते गर्भपातः ।।

Sloka 10 .- If benefics occupy the Lagna or be in conjunction with the Moon and be aspected by Jupiter and the malefics occupy the 3rd and the 11th, safe delivery is assured. If benefics occupy any of the follow- ing houses, viz, the 5th, the 9th, the 7th, the 2nd, the 4th and the 10th, reckoned from either the Moon or the Lagna and be at the same time aspected by Jupiter, then also safe delivery may be predicted.

NOTES. Some books read रविणा निरीक्षित: (Ravina Nireekshitah). There are two distinct yogas in this sloka as stated above. But the commentator Bhattotpala would interpret it thus: " When benefic planets are in the rising sign, or in conjunction with the Moon, or occupy one or more of the following places, viz., the 5th, the 9th, the 7th, the 2nd, the 4th and the 10th; and when the malefic planets are in the 3rd or the 11th or in both the fetus is happy if the Moon or the rising sign in the positions

If the Lagna and the planets above named be in an even sign and in a Navamsa owned by an even sign, the birth of a female child is announced- Jupiter and the Sun in an odd sign (irrespective of the Navamsis occupied) produce a male child. The Moon, Venus and Mars in an even sign (rrespective of the Navamses they may be in) make for a female child. These five planets oocupying a Navamsa owned by a dual Rasi, and at the same time aspected by Mercury, produce twins corresponding to the character of the dual Rasi to which the Navamsa may happen to belong; that is to say, both,males if the Navamsa belongs to a male.dual.Rasi, Mithuna.or Dhanus; hoth,fomales if the

The above six yogas at the time of copulation will result in nothing. In other words, the coition will be fruitless and if any of the above yogas are found in the horoscope of a male or female the native will not be capable of producing or bringing forth issues. (This is the real meaning of aa (kleeba). A closer examination of this sloka will lead us to the follow. ing conclusions :- (1) The Sun and the Moon in opposition (or fortn- poornima). (4) Saturn in opposition to Mercury. (Two hermaphro- dite planets in opposition). (3) Mars afflicting the Sun in an even sign. (4) The Moon and the Lagna both in odd signs in afflic- tion with Mars. (5) Mars afflicting the Moon in an even sign and also Mercury in an odd sign; and (6) Venus, the Moon and the Lagna occupying Navamsas belonging to odd signs or male Rasis. These are most unfavorable and detrimental to conception.

The rising sign and the Moon being in even signs and aspeoted by any male planet cause also twins. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and the Lagna being in even signs and possessed of strength likewise lead to a twin fetus being conceived in the womb. There will be a trio of embryos conceived when Mercury in his own Navamsa aspects all planets and the Lange, or iff dhe Lagha and afl the planets 10

occupy Navamsas belonging to dual signs. Two out of these triplets will have their sexes determined by the character of the Navamsa occupied by Mercury-being males if the Navamsa is that of Mithuna, and females if the Navamsa is owned by Kanya. The triplets will be of one and the same sex if all the Navamsas concerned are owned by dual signs of the same sex; i.e, the trio will be all males when the Navamsas are those of Mithuna and Dhanus; females, when the Navamsas are those of Kanya and Meena.

NOTES. There are three yogas mentioned in this sloka for the birth of twins. In the first yoga two female planets are in even signs, while Lagna, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are in odd signs. In the second yoga, a male planet (the Sun, Mars or Jupiter) must aspect the Lagna and the Moon, both these being in even signs. In the third yoga, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and the Lagna must be powerful in even signs.

Sloka 16 .-- From the time of conception of the embryo to the time of delivery of the child from the womb in the 10th month, there are several stages of development. In the first month, the semen will be in a liquid state still and the lord of the month is Venus. During the second month, the embryo hardens and becomes more solid, and the lord of the month is Mars. The lord of the 3rd month during which the limbs sprout up is Jupiter. In the 4th month, the bone is formed and the Sun is the lord. In the 5th, the skin appears, and the lord of the month is the Moon. In the 6th month, the hair begins to grow The lord of the month is Saturn. In the 7th month where of the lord is Mercury, consciousness appears. The lords of the remaining three months, riz., the 8th, the 9th and the 10th, during which the fetus becomes palpable, feels thirst and hunger, draws sustenance from the mother through the umbilical cord, moves about (shakes) and becomes fit for delivery-the lords during these months are respectively the lord of the enaow (Adhana Lagna), the Moon and the Sun. The good or evil happening to the child during each month is dependent on the condition of its lord; i.e., if the lord of the month is strong and occupies benefic positions, the child is happy. If the lord of the month is weak, in its depression sign, conquened in planetary fights and

SL. 16] चतुर्थोऽथ्ायः: 77

troubled, the child suffers and there will be mis. carriage, etc. NOTFS. Jupiter is the planet that gives brain and head in the 3rd month. The Sun rules the 4th month as he governs the bones. That is why after three months miscarriage is not possible. If, at the time of conception, the Sun is strong, the issue will resemble the father. If the Moon is strong, the issue will resemble the mother. If any planet at the time of conception be weak, then the fetus will suffer in health in the month governed by that planet गुणाकर :- कललघनताशाख, स्थित्वक्तनूरुह संभव- स्मरणभसनोद्वेगो सूतिकमेण निषेकतः । सितकुज गुरुव्र भ्ेन्द्वार्किज्ञलग्रपतीन्दवो रविरिति पृथङ्मासाधीशा: स्मृता यवनादिभिः ॥ Also सागवली- मासेष्वाधानाधिषु गर्भस्य यथाक्रमेण जायन्ते। सप्तसु कलिलाण्डव शाखास्थित्वग्रोमचेतनताः ।। मासेऽष्टमे च तृष्णा क्षुदा च नवमे तथोद्वेगः। दशमे त्वथ संपूर्ण: पक्तामव फलं पतति गर्भः ॥

When the Moon occupies Vrishabha and malefics are in the Riksha Sandhies, the person born will be a mute. If, under the above conditions, the Moon be aspected by benefics, the child may get speech afterwards (after a long time). NGTES. First half .- The above result should not be predicted unless the charateristic combinations mentioned are complete. If the characteristics are incomplete, an inordinate largeness of the organs named should be foretold. Some commentators take the word त्रिकोण (Trikona) in the sloka to mean मूलत्रिकोण (Moola- trikona) of Mercury, that is Kanya. But this as to be rejected on the authority of mff (Gargi) who distinctly says :- बलहीनैमहै: सर्वैर्नवपक्मगे बुधे। द्रिगुणाजच शिरोहस्तो भवत्येकोद्रस्तथा ॥

SL. 17 ] चतुर्योऽध्यायः 79

Second half .- By the words " malefics are in the Riksha Sandhies" it is to be understood that all the three malefics, viz., Saturn, Mars and the Sun are jointly or severally to be in the last portion of any one or more of Kataka, Vrischika and Meena. By the words * afterwards (after a long time)," nothing more is meant than 'later than the ordinary time within which a child may be naturally expected to speak.' The last quarter of the sloka leads to the inference that such Moon should also have malefic aspect to make the person mute This is supported by Gargi who says :- कुलीरालिझषान्तस्थैः पापैश्रन्द्रे वृषोपगे। मूक: पापेक्षितैः सौम्यैश्चिरेण लभते गिरम्। मिश्रदृष्टैर्यथावीर्य फलं बोध्यं मनीषिणा। Unless therefore all the three malefics are thus placed and the Moon has a malefic aspect, the prediction should not be made. If there be only two malefics thus placed, then frugality or smallness of speech, and if only one, wavering, slow or stam- mering speech should be foretold. But if such Moon has the aspect of one or more benefic planets, the person will begin to speak later than when he would otherwise be naturally expected to speak. It must thus be remembered that the aspect of male- fics is also required to make the native mute, and the aspect of benefics to counteract it.

The word afa (Gavi) in the sloka in the text may also mean "in the house of speech," i.e., the 2nd house from the Lagna. This view i: supported by 5aa71 (Skanda Hora) where it is laid down thus :- ऋक्षसन्धिगतैः पापैर्द्टश्यमानो निशाकरः । द्वेधा गविष्ठो वाग्धानिमाधाने जनयेद्धवम् ।।

[This refers to the time of con- 'ception.] (2) If the Moon be in the Lagna identical with Kataka and aspected by Saturn and Mars the child will be a dwarf. [This also refers to the time of con- ception.] (3) If the आधानलम (Adhana Lagna) be Meen and is aspected by Saturn, Mars and the Moon, either singly or conjointly, the child will be short in stature (cripple). (4) If a malefic planet in conjunction with the Moon occupy a Riksha Sandhi (at the time of con- ception), the child will be dull. These yogas take effect only when theif authors fail to have benefic aspect on them. NOTES. (1) In the case of actual birth under the above yoga, the native will have oiten tooth 'trouble.

NOTES. Another interpretation .- If all the three malefics are in the Ist decanate, the issue will be born without head. If they are in the. 2nd decanate, it will be without shoulders; if the planets are in the 3rd decanate, it will be without logs. 11

The words in the 3rd quarter of the sloka in the text have been interpreted by some thus: " If Mars oecupy the lst, 2nd or 3rd Drekkana of the Lagna." But this is opposed to the opinion of Garga ( गर्ग) who says- लग्रद्रेक्काणगो भौमः सौरसूर्येन्दुवीक्षित । कुर्याद्विशिर सस्तद्वत् पञ्चमे बाहुवर्जितम् ॥ विपद नवमस्थाने यदि सौम्यर्न वीक्षितः ॥ Mars occupying the rising decanate (Ist Drekkana of the Lagna) and aspected by the Sun, the Moon and Saturn, produces a headless child. The child will be born armless if Mars occupy the first drekkana of the 5th house and be aspected by the same three planets. The child born will have no legs if Mars under the same aspect occupy the first drekkana of the 9th house from the Lagna.

planets, the person born will be blear-eyed. The Moon occupying the 12th bhava from the Lagna will injure the left eye, while the Sun in the same position affects the right one; these malefic yogas mentioned hitherto can be escaped from in case the authors of such yogas happen to be aspected by benefic planets.

NOTES. See Chapter XX, Sloka 1 and 5 infra. The Sun and the Moon in Simha as Ascendant aspected by Mars and Saturn together will bring forth a blind child. In the case of the Sun and the Moon in Leo as Ascendant aspected by either of the above, the yoga will cause blindness some time in after life. Varahamihira is consistent throughout. cf Chapter XX referring to the Sun in Lagna and the Moon in the Lagna or Kataka. The 12th house governs the left cye and the 2nd, the right eye. The Sun governs the right eye and the Moon, the left one. Bhattotpala adds that if the Lagna (Simha) be occupied by the Sun alone and be aspected by Mars and Saturn, the child will be blind of the right eye. He will be blind of the left eye if the Moon alone should occupy Simha and be aspected by Mars and Saturn.

Find the Rasi to which this Dwadasamsa belongs. Count from this sign as many Rasis as the number represented by the Dwadasamsa in question. When the Moon is in the Rasi thus found in the month of delivery the birth of a child in the womb may be expected. Secondly, find what fraction of the Dwadasamsa has been passed by the Moon at the time of the query or आधानलग्न (Adhana Lagna). When this much in the Rasi is passed by the Moon in the month of delivery, the birth may be predicted. This gives the Nakshatra of birth. Thirdly, find whether the rising sign at the time of the query or enea (Adhana) is a day or night sign and also what fraction of the Lagna is passed. When so much of the day or the night is passed, the birth in qustion should be declared to happen.

Suppose the आधानलग् or प्रश्नलम to be 3 signs 8° 1?' 20" and the position of the Moon at the time 4 signs 10° 25' 35". As the Moon is in the 5th Dwadasamsa of Simha, the Dwadasamsa is Dhanus. The birth has to be predicted when the Moon passes through the 5th Rasi counted from Dhanus i e., Mesha. This is the view of some. According to others the birth should be predicted thus :- Find by counting from Mesha the order of the Rasi representing the Dwadasamsa; When the Moon traverses through so many Rasis from the Dwadasamsa Rasi, birth will happen. Aecording to this view, Dhanus happens to be the 9th from Mesha: the birth will happen when the Moon is in the 9th Rasi from Dhanus, i.e., Simha. The former view seems more rational. Then, to find the exact position of the Moon, we have 25' 35" 150,- of ay as having been traversed by the Moon, at birth time, or 5°. 116 or the second quarter of the star Aswini.

To know the time, we proceed thus :- The Lagna is 8° 12' 20" in a4 which is a night sign. The exact time will therefore"

be at 8° 12' 20"

Balabhadra also adds that only in the case of the Moon and the lord of the 5th bhava at the time of query or eriena occupy- ing one and the same Rasi, it has to be predicted that the preg- nant woman will be delivered of her child at that very instant and not otherwise. The converse process of deducing the time of conception (enas7-Adhanakala) trom the data given for any birth has not been definitely stated in any of our astrological works as for as I have seen. But the following general principles enunciated in Sepharial's " Manual of Astrology " and which have bern found to be true after elaborate tests will be found to be very useful :-- (1) When the Moon at birth is waxing and visible, or waning and invisible, the period intervening between eeTa {Adhana) and birth will be less than the time taken for 10 lunar revolutions or 9 solar months. (2) If the Moon at birth be waxing and invisible (T41 Adrisyardha), or waning and visible, the interval between con- ception and actual time of birth will be more than 10 lunar revolutions. (3) The actual number of days-less or more-is obtained by finding the distance of the Moon from the horizon, the dis- tance being counted from the Lagna when the Moon is invisible, and from the 7th house (ertaay-Asta Lagna) when the Moon is visible. Convert this distance to degrees and divide the result by 12. The quotient will represent the number of days required. (4) If the birth takes place in Taqe (Suklapaksha-bright half of a month), the sign denoting the Lagna will represent the Moon's position at the time of errera (Adhana). (5) If the birth be in curqar (Krishnapaksha.dark half of a month), the sign denoting the 7th bhava will contain the Moon at आधान (Adhana).

वृहबातके

(6) The Rasi occupied by the Moon at birth will be rising or setting at the time of (Adhanakala) according as the said Moon is waxing or waning. Let us take the following example :- There was a birth at 4 a.m. on 8th January 1900 eren Ayanamsa, 22° 26' 4")-Vikri year, Dhanur month-25th, 13° Lat. N. Moon ... 1l signs 1° :5' Sun 8 signs 24° 22' Lagna .... 7 signs 21° 51'

The Moon is waxing and below the horizon (invisible). The interval between conception time and birth time is therefore

more than 10 lunar months. (Rule 2 above.) The distance of the Moon from the horizon is- 11-21°-15' minus 7-21°-51' (Lagna) or 3-29°-24' which when converted into days at an average rate of 12° per day (Vide Rule 3) is 119-4 12 or 9.95 days.

The conception should therefore have taken place 10x 27.32305 (period of one revolution of the Moon is 27-32305) days)+9.95 or roughly 283.180 days prior to birth. The Moon

being in the 22nd degree of मीन (Meena) at birth, the आघानलम (Adhana Lagna) must have been Meena 22°. Looking at the Panchanga for that time, we deduce that the time of conception should have been at about the early hours of the morning on the 1st April 1899 when Meena had not fully risen.

If the conception takes place when the Moon is under similar circumstances, i.e., when the rising Navamsa belongs to Kataka and the Moon occupies the, 7th house, the birth will happen after twelve years. The effects that have been described in this Chapter as due to planetary conjunctions at the time of conception must also be predicted in regard to the time of the birth when the same planetary conjunctions are found to exist.

NOTES. The object of putting Saturn in the 7th house is not only to secure his aspect for the Lagna but also to give him his full Digbala (directional strength)-Saturn's Digbala in the 7th house is full The latter half of the sloka is interpreted in Dasadhyayee to mean "Should the Navamsa Rasi of the Moon at the time of conception be one of Saturn's houses and if Saturn be in the 7th

This is supported by गुणाकर- मन्दस्य भांशे तनुगेऽर्कैजेडते वर्षत्रयेण प्रसवस्तदानीम्॥ मन्दभांशंगे विधौ घूनगेडर्केजे तथा। द्वादशे न हायने सूतिरत्र जायते।। The interpretation given by the translation is supported by the following quotation from समुद्रजातक- लग्ने यमांशे मन्देऽस्ते निषेकश्चेत् समात्रयात्। सूतिः ककाशगेडङ्गस्थे चन्द्रेऽरते हूदशाब्दकः ॥

Sloka 1 .- When the Moon does not aspect the Lagna, the birth of a child is out of the father's sight. And he is at the time absent in a foreign country, if the Sun be in a moveable sign and has fallen out of the (Maddhya) or the 10th bhava, i.e., is in the 8th or 9th bhava.

NoTes. If the rising sign is unaspected by the Moon, and the Sun is cither in the 8th or the 9th bhava, then the father is not present at the place of birth of the child. If the above Sun be in a moveable sign, the father will be in a foreign country. If he be in an immoveable sign, the father will be in the same town but away from where birth took place. If the Sun be in a dual sign, then the father will be on his way home. The yoga depicted is a day scenery. For the second yoga given in the latter half of the sloka (in the text), the condition that the Lagna is not aspected by the Moon is necessary.

NOTES. Balabhadra slightly differs-He says- लग्नस्थिते वासरनाथपुत्रे यामत्रसंस्थेऽव्यथवा महीजे। चनद्रेऽथवा सूर्यमहीजमध्ये त्िदेशसंस्थो जनको चभूव ॥ where the Moon if posited between Mars and the Sun is said to cause the same effect. In the previous sloka, the day scenery was depicted. In the present sloka the night scenery (birth at night time) is described.

सारावली- घुनिशोरर्कासितयोः कुजेन संदष्टयोः पितुरभावः । चरराशौ परदेशे युक्त्ेक्षितयोस्तु तत्र मृतः ॥

The Sun at a day-birth and Saturn at a night-birth, if asr ected by Mars, indicates the absence of the father. And if the

sign that is occupied and aspected respectively by the above -- mentioned two planets be a moveable one, the Yoga indicates the demise of the father in a foreign place at the time. The author of सारावली (Saravali) further says- चरराशिगतं सौरं यद्यर्को रात्रिजन्मनीक्षेत। अ्रापि विदेशस्थं कथयति पितरं प्रसूतस्य ।।

Sloka 3 .- When the Moon occupies a decanate owned by Mars [Vrischika Drekkna] and benefic planets are in the 2nd and the 11th houses from the Lagna, the issue will be a (serpent) reptile; or a child will be born with a navel cord round its body. Again, when the rising sign is that of a malefic planet and is in the decanate of Mars and benefic planets are in the 2nd and 11th bhavas, the person born will have a cord coiled round his body.

NOTES. For a child to be declared as legitimate (1) Lagna or the Moon must receive an aspect of Jupiter; (2) the Sun in con- junction with the Moon should be aspected by Jupiter; or (3) there should not be any malefic along with the Moon in con- junction with the Sun.

But it is not so- And by raf (Kru. rarksha) all the five houses of malefics, viz., Mesha, Simha,

Vrischika, Makara and Kumbha are not meant, but only Mesha, Simha and Kumbha. Here the difference between the terms पाप्क्षे (Paparksha) and क्रूरर्क्ष (Krurarksha) may be noted. The one means " all the houses owned by malefics" while the other confines them to "their odd signs."

This may happen also when the rising sign is a watery one and the Moon (whether full or not) is in the 7th bhava- NOTES. The word ar may also be interpreted as benefic. The meaning will then be " If the Moon be full and in Kataka, and if benefic planets be in the Lagna and the 4th house, then the birth takes place in a boat. If the Lagna be a watery sign and the Moon be in the 7th being also full, then also the birth takes place in a boat. The word शुभ (subha) in शुभे सुखे (subhe sukhe) in the text has been understopd to mean only Jupiter by the commentator as there is not always a possibility of Venus occupying the 4th place from Mercury in the Lagna. अत्र बुधात् शुकस्य चतुर्थगत्वा- संभवात् चतुर्थगो गुरुर्जेय: (बलभद्रः) समुद्रजातक- पूर्णेन्हो: ग्वगृहगे जे जीवे तुर्येतरीगत इति.

चन्ट्रेडर्के (Chandrerke) is another reading for चन्द्रेस्ते (Chandre- ste) and the meaning will then be "If the Moon or the Sun be trine to Mars and Saturn, etc," erta (Asthe) may also be interpreted as 'eclipsed,' i.e., in conjunction with the Sun. स्कन्ददोरा- आरसूर्य जयोर्मूढे जातश्चन्द्रे त्रिकोणगे। सूर्ये वा त्यज्यते मात्रा सद एव विधेर्बलात्।। The sloka quoled above distinctly says that the Moon should be n3 (Moodha), i.e., that is eclipsed by the rays of the Sun and so the words अस्तगते (Asthagate) and अस्ते (Asthe) in the quotations from Saravali and Samudra Jataka do not mean the 7th house, but mean 'eclipsed.'

The same happens when Mars and Saturn are in the 11th bhava (, and the Moon is in the 2nd house. This is another interpretation). When a benefic planet aspects the Moon, the child passes into the hands of a person of a class corresponding to the aspecting benefic planet. If another malefic under the above yoga aspects the Lagna, then the child bereft of the mother will fall into the hands of bad people and will die. (Even if cared for by others, the child lives not.)

(" When the Moon in the 4th bhava is in a Navamsa owned by Saturn, or is aspected by Saturn, etc .; " is another interpretation.) The same takes place on the ground when three or more planets are in their depression signs. The coming out of the child from the womb is exactly like the emergence of the rising sign from the horizon, i.e, if it is a शीषोद्य (Sirshoda ya) sign, the child appears with the hend foremost, and if a yerru (Prishtodaya) sign, with the legs foremost; and if an अमयोदय (Ubhayodaya) sign, with the hands foremost. If malefic planets be in conjunction with the Moon or occupy the 7th or the 4th bhava therefrom, much distress, it is said, has to be endured by the mother.

Sloka 18 .- The quantity of oil in the lamp will vary with the portion to be traversed by the Moon in the sign entered upon. The wick is to be guessed from the Lagna, i.e., will vary with the portion of the rising sign still below the horizon. The character of the lamp is to be guessed from the character of the sign occupied by the Sun, i.e., whether the light is moveable, fixed or both, is to bc declared from the nature of the Rasi in which the Sun is. The door of the lying-in-chamber is to be guessed by means of the planets occupying the Kendra positions or rather by means of those that are possessed of strength; i.e., when more than one planet occupy the Kendra positions, the door must be guessed by the strongest of them, when there are no planets in the Kendras, find which of the Kendras is strongest, and the direction faced by the door is gucssed accord. ingly. NOTES.

The Moon determines the oil in the lamp; the wick in the lamp is determined by the Lagna, and the Sun determines the character of the lamp. If the Moon is waning, there will be little oil in the lamp. If the Moon is at the beginning of a sign, the lamp will be full of oil. If she be in the middle of a sign, the oil in the lamp will be moderately full; if in the end of a sign, little oil. The same holds good in the case of a wick. If the Sun be in a moveable sign, the lamp is not a fixture bul can be moved about. If in an immoveable sign, the lamp is a fixture and not capable of being moved about. If in a dual sign, the lamp can be separated from its place (removable). If the Sun be in a fiery sign, we may say that the light is lit by electric power; if fiery and also moveable (sign), the electric lamp is moveable, and so on.

Sloka 24 .- The Lagna and other bhavas every one of which is divided into three parts (Drekkanas) repre- sent the three divisions of the body as detailed below: The first decanates of the Lagna and other houses indicate the head, the eycs, the ears, the nostrils, the cheeks, the jaws and the mouth. The second drekkanas of the same twelve bhavas correspond to the neck, shoulders, the arms, the sides, the heart, the chest and the navel. The third drekkanas specify the pelvis, the organs of generation and the anus, the testicles, the thighs, the knees, the calves and the legs. Of the two sides of the body, the left is signified by the drekkanas risen already, i e., drekkanas of the sign in the visible hemisphere. Thus, the first drekkanas of the rising sign is the head. The first drekkanas of the 12th, the 11th, the 10th, the 9th and the 8th houses from the Lagna represent the eye, the ear, the nostril, the cheek and the jaw on the left side. The first drekkanas of the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th and the 6th houses correspond to the eye, the ear, etc., on the right side. And the first drekkana of the 7th is the mouth.

The 2nd drekkana of the Lagna indicates the neck. The left shoulder, left arms, left ribs, left side of the heart and the left side of the chest correspond to the 2nd drekkanas of the 12th, the 11th, the 10th, the 9th and the 8th signs, respectively, from the Lagna.

But when it is also occupied or aspected by a benefic planet, the astrologer should declare the existence of a spot there. When the planet happens to be in its own Rasi or in conjunction with Saturn, the ulcer, wound or mark should have been in the portion of the body indicated

from the very birth. If the planet be in positions other than those described above, the ulcer, etc., will crop up later on. If Saturn be the planet to cause such ulcer, etc., it will be due to a hurt caused by a stone or some wind disease. If Mars be the planet destined to inflict an injury it will arise from fire, a missile, poison or serpent bites. If Mercury be the malefic planet, thd injury will arise by a fall on the ground from a height or by a blow received from a clod or some such earthy substance. If the Sun be the malefic planet, the injury will be inflicted by some piece of timber or a quadruped. Lastly, if the Moon be the malign planet, the hurt will come from a horned creaturc or by liquids, such as acids. If other planets than these, viz., Jupiter, Venus, the waxing Moon and Mercury not in conjunction with malefic planets occupy a drekkana, there will be no mark or moles and the result would be all favourable.

malefics are in the invisible portion of the Zodiac. Therefore, if at all there should be marks or moles, they must be on the right side of the body. In the above figure, to determine the decanates of the various bhavas according to the principles laid down in Sloka 24, we proceed as follows :-

Now Lagna is Mesha 25°. It is the 8rd decanate of Mesha.

As the Ist decanate of the Lagna happens to be the 3rd decanate of Mesha, Table III applies. Therefore the 1st decanate of the Lagna symbolises the pelvis. The 2nd decanate of the Lagna happens to be the lst decanate of Vrishabha, order being III, I and II throughout; the first figure (I) applies. Therefore the 2nd decanate of the Lagna symbolises the head. Similarly, the 3rd decanate of the Lagna (2nd decanate of Vrishabha) symbolises the neek (Fig. II); and so on with respect to the other bhavas, In the same horoscope, the order with respect to every bhava being III, I and II, the Sun's position represents the right shoulder; Saturn, the right side; Mars, the right testicle; Moon, the right side; Meroury, the right testicle; Venus, the right eye.

Sloka 26 .- When four planets whereof Mercury should be one, come together in a decanate of a sign, that part of the body indicated by the drekkana will invariably get an ulcer or wound or some mirk according as the planets coming together are benefic or malefic. The part of the body indicated by the decanate occupied by Venus (in case Venus becomes an e Asubha) will have an ulcer, wound or mark. [This applies if Venus is alone.] If Venus be aspected by benefic, a mole or mark will be caused. If he be in conjunction with benefics, the person wil1 possess an auspicious mark in the portion of the body indicated.

NOTES. Venus becomes an erTT (Asubha) if he be in combustion {that is within 5° from the Sun) or if he be weak in Navamsa or be in inimical house, etc. Some books read the 3rd quarter of the sloka thus: व्रणकृदशुभ: षष्ठे लग्नात्तनी भसमाश्रिते. The trans. lation will then be " A malefic planet in the 6th bhava from the Lagna brings on the ulcer or wound in that part of the body which the Rasi indicates." The reading षष्ठो देहे is better. पष्ठ here means the 6th planet or Venus. In the example given in the previous sloka, Venus is in a neutral house (सम) less powerful than स्वगृह (Swagriha) or उ्व (Uchcha). He is going to the operative conjunction-hence weak. He is in 51aai57 (Satru navamsa). Hence he is an eTer (Asubha), He will therefore cause a mark on the right eye.

This sloka indicates permanent mrrks caused from birth. The time when the ulcers, etc., indicated as above occur will be during the Dasas and Antardasas as mentioned in Ch. VIII- Sl. 21 infra.

The Moon with the three malefics occupying each a Kendra will also lead to the same effect. NOTES. The condition as to birth at t (Sandhya) and in Moon's hora must also be understood to exist in the second yoga. The aspect of benefics is not to be considered in the above yogas.

The same effect happens when malefics (the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Saturn) surround the Lagna and the 7th bhava (i.e., when they are just rising or setting, or some rising and some setting).

NOTES. The principle is all malefics in the Lagna will wreck the constitution; so also the opposition of malefics to the Lagna. By the term पूर्वचक्र (Purva chakra) is meant "the oriental' or eastern half. If Simha 10° be the Lagna, the portion from Vrishabha 10°, Mithuna, Kataka, Simha, Kanya, Tula and the first 9° of Vrischika comprise the ydees. Malefics in the orient- al hemisphere (when they are rising or ascending the midheavan) and benefics in the occidental (setting or culminating) lead to immediate death. Purva chakra and Apara chakra may also be interpreted as invisible and visible hemisphere-compare western princlple. that malefics in the invisible half with benefics in the visible half will lead to death.

सारावली- दर्शनभागे सौम्याः क्रूराश्चाटश्यके प्रसवकाले। राहुलम्रोपगतो यमक्षयं नयति पञ्चभिर्वषैः ॥ By the term कीट (Keeta), Vrischika alone is meant. सारावली चक्रस्य पूर्वभागे पापा: सौम्यान्तथेतरे चैव । वृश्चिकलमे जाता गतायुषो बज्मुष्टियोगेडस्मिन् ।।

NOTES. When the waning Moon is talked of as being in the 12th house, then the Sun must be in the Lagna, Therefore two malc- fics in the first and one in the 8th, or all the three malefics in the Lagna are possible. Three malefics rising in the Lagna at twilight time is bad for life, Two malefics in the Lagna in quincunx aspect with a malefic in the 8th house or the Sun rising in the Lagna in quincunx aspect to two malefics in the 8th house in conjunction is also bad.

If the Moon in the position described be aspected by benefic planets, the child will live 8 years. If aspected by benefic and malefic planets mixed together, it will live only 4 years. If the Iord of the Lagna be benefic and in the 7th in operating conjunction with a malnfe and in affiction with three: malefics, then the child dies in a month ..

S. 6] 133

NOTES. The Moon in the 6th or 8th is generally bad (Vide Chapter XX infra). If she is also afflicted in opposition by the Sun, Mars and Saturn (malefics becoming oriental), it is bad for life. When such Moon is in opposition with benefics (all the three), it is bad for life before 8th year. According to the Naisar- gika Dasa, it is Mercury that governs the period from the 4th to the 12th year of a child. When the Moon is in opposition with malefics and benefics it will shorten the life by 4 years. In the above, if the combination be of- (1) three benefics and 1 malefic, the child will live 7 years; (2) three benefics and 2 malefics, he child will live5 years; (3) one benefic and 3 malefic, the child will live 1 year; (4) two benefics and 3 malefics, the child will live 2 years. सारावली- वर्षान्मारयति शशो षष्ठाष्टमराशिसंस्थितो लग्नात्। संध: क्रूरैर्दष्टः सौम्यैरब्दाष्टकाच्चैत ।। अशुभशुभ: संदष्टे वर्षचतुष्केण निर्दिशेदन्तम्। अनुपातः कर्तव्यः प्रोक्तादनैर्म्रेहैदैषटे॥ Latter half.

He is further afflicted by three malefics, viz, Mars, Sun and Mercury (who should be con- sidered as a malefic when in conjunction with a maleflc planet). The ruler of the Lagna, (the benefic Jupiter in this case) is set- ting in the 7th house in operating conjunction with a malefic while it is in affliction with three other malefics, which are rising. This will lead to death within a month.

N.B .- In these two cases, Mercury should be taken as a malefic as otherwise the yoga will not be complete. The commentator Bhattotpala says in connection with this sloka : "अर्थादेव पष्ठाष्टमस्थे चन्द्रमसि न केनचिद्दृश्यमाने रिष्टयोगाभावः । चन्द्रमा यदि षष्टाष्टमस्थ सौम्यक्षेत्रगतो भतत्यथवा पापक्षेत्रगतः सौम्ययुक्त्तो भवति तदा न मरणप्रद्ः । That is, if the Moon in the 6th or the 8th place be not aspected by any planet, the child will not die. Again, when the Moon in the 6th or the 8th bhava happens to be in a house owned by a benefic planet, or, being in a Rasi of a malefic planet, be at the same time in conjunction with beneflc ones, then too, the child' will not die. In support of the above he quotes from Yavaneswara the following sloka :- लग्नाच्छशी नैधनगोडयुभर्क्षे षष्ेऽथवा पापनिरीक्षितश्च। सर्वायुराधृन्ति शुभैर्विमिश्ररदीक्षितोंऽच्द प्टकमर्द्धकं वा ॥।

SL. 6] षष्टोऽष्याय: 135

He also adds that the Moon in the 6th or the 8th house from the Lagna and aspected by planets whether benefic or malefic does not cause death to the native when the birth happens to be in the day time during the dark half of a month, or in the night time during the bright half of a month ( Cf अशुभकृदुडुपोऽहिद्ष्ट- मूर्ति:, etc. Chapter XIII, Sloka 8 infra) and quotes in support of this the following sloka from Mandavya's ( माण्डव्य) work: पक्षे सिते भवति जन्म यदि क्षपायां कृष्णेऽथवाहनि शुभाशुभदृष्टमूर्तिः। तं चन्द्रमा रिपुविनाशगतोऽपि नूनमापत्सु रक्षति पितेव. शिशुं न हन्ति ।। The commentator adds-"अत्रस्मिन्नेव पष्ठेऽष्टमे वा स्थाने शुभे सौम्यग्रहे स्थिते तस्मिंश् वीर्ययुक्तः पापैर्दष्टे जातस्य मासं स्धितिर्जीवित वकग्यम्। ततो मरणमिति अत्र निर्दिष्टयोगरथे चन्द्रमसि शुभदृष्टे रिष्टयो- गाभावः। यस्मादनेनैव स्वल्पजातके उक्तम्। शशिवत्सौम्याः पापर्वक्रिभिरवलोकिता न शुभदृष्टः। मामेन मरणदा: र्युः पापजितो लग्नपश्चास्ते॥

Sloka 8 .- If the Moon unaspected by benefics happens to be at the end of a ऋक्षसन्धि (Riksha Sandhi- end of Kataka, Vrischika or Meena) and if malefics occupy the trines, the child born dies quickly. The same effect happens if the Moon is rising in the Lagna in opposition to three malefics.

NOTES. The Moon posited at the end of Kataka, Vrischika or Meena in trine to all three malefics will bring death. If the Moon be in the end of Meena, and malefics in the ends of Kataka and Vrischika, these two houses happen to be the house of grave (इमशान Smasana) and Death (आयुसू, रन्म् Ayus, Randhra respectively of the zodiac when reckoned from Mesha. The Moon in Kataka, malefics in Vrischika (House of Death being the 8th sign) and in Meena (House of exit or undoing yg Vyaya or 12th sign), this yoga also brings in early death.

The interpretations given above appears more rational and many instances (of the simultaneous demise of mother and child) that are of common occurrence may be brought under the yogas cited in the first half of the Sloka. In the first yoga, the Moon, whatever may be her position, is very much afflicted, being in conjunction not only with Rahu but also with another malefic, and the 8th house is occupied by Mars as well. With the above, the Sun's position in the Lagna is further necessary to cause the demise as a result of operation. Moreover there was no neces- sity for Varahamihira to use the word G3T if he did not intend any one of the planets, viz., Saturn or the Sun. The word should be taken only with Tal that is next to it and need not apply to a in the first line which is far removed, in asmuch as so many words कुजे निधनाश्रिते जननिसुतयोर्मृत्यु intervene. The commentator Bhattotpala takes the word ma (Grastha as referring to eclipse (lunar or solar). According to his view, the translation of the first half of the sloka will be " when the Moon in conjunction with Saturn is eclipsed in the Lagna and Mars occupies the 8th place from it, both the mother and the child will die, and the death will ensue from the effect of an operation if the Sun be in the above position, (i.e., if the Sun in conjunction with Mercury and Saturn be eclipsed in the Lagna and Mars be in the 8th place from it.)" So that such deaths should be expected only in times of eclipses, and those by opera- tion especially in the Solar ones. According]to this interpreta-

SL. 10] षष्ोडध्याय: 141

tion, the word अशुभ in अशुभसहिते ग्रस्ते चन्द्रे can mean only Saturn and no other malefic planet. For, an eclipse of the Moon can occur only on a full-Moon day and the Sun will then be in the 7th place or in direct opposition. Consequently Mercury will not be near the Moon.

योगे स्थानं गतवति बलिनश्चम्दे स्वं वा तनुगृहमथना। पापिदेष्टे बलवति मरणं वर्षस्यान्ते किल मुनिगदितम् ।। १२।। Sloka 12 .- if a child is born under a fateful combi. nation ( erfigam) whereof the period has not been specified, the death of the child will take place when the Moon in her periodical courses goes to the house occupied at the time of birth by the strongest of the planets producing the erfigan (Arishtayoga). The same event may atso happen when the Moon goes to her place (occupied at the time of birth), or the Lagna (at the time of birth) and is aspected in strength by malefic planets. The sages say this death may be expected to happen within a year.

NOTES. In the previous yogas find out who the worst malefic planet is that causes carly death and the place occupied by it. Find out the Rasis of the Moon and the Lagna. Now, we know that the time taken by the Moon for making one revolution is 27-32305 days approximately. The Moon. therefore makes about 13 revolutions in the course of a year. Wherever the Moon in the course of her orbit comes to any of the three places mentioned above, viz., (1) the Rasi occupied by the Moon, (2) the Rasi signifying the Lagna and (3) the Rasi occupied by the strongest malefic planet causing the अरिष्टयोग death will happen. We thus get 39 probabilities. The Moon must be powerful (verfa-Balavati) to cause death. That is, she must be weak Moon or be the ruler of the 6th or the 8th house. Thus the number of probabilities is limited to 13. There is another condition, viz,. that the Moon should receive strong aspect of all the malefics, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. Then only, death will take place. This aeduces to one certainty. 19

146 बृहजातके [ CH. VI

It may also be noted here that the general trend of the author in treating of early deaths in this Chapter, refers chiefly to the position, good or otherwise, of the Moon, thus indicating demise within one year, which is the नैसर्गिक (Naisargika) period accorded to the Moon in any one's nativity; other later periods of demise being alluded to as stray cases.

According to some, the the anr (Lagnayus) is as many years as there are Rasis reckoned from Mesha up to Lagna. [For example if the Lagma be at the commencement of the 11th degree of Kumbha, the Lagnayus is 3 years since 3 Navamsas of Kumbha have risen. According to others, the Lagnayus is represented by 10} years. This latter view is not however accepted by VarahamihiraJ. The planets except when their motion is retrograde lose a third of their Ayus when in inimical houses. When thay are eclipsed their Ayurdaya is to be diminished by half. This last reduction does not apply to Venus and Saturn. NOTES.

For For malefics benehcs

The principle to be noted here is that the deduction is enjoined for planets-whether benefic or malefic-if they are in the visible half. In the present horoscope, according to the above rule, there are two planets in the 12th. viz., Mars and Mercury, of whom Mars is stronger, Mars therefore loses all his years. This reduction is enough and reduction in the case of Mercury is not necessary. The Moon is in the 10th house. He is benefic and therefore loses }th. His years whenireduced will be 14-554. .Jupiter is in the 9th. He loses 1th and his reduced period is 7.766 years. : .' It .should however be clearly understood that the above computations are only rough and not quite accurate in asmuch as no distinction is made between a planet occupying the beginning of a bhava and another occupying the end of it. Both are made

to suffer the same amount of reduction which is not correct. Again, suppose there is a planet occupying the beginning of the 12 th house and another the end of the 1ith, the relative distance between them being say only 2 or 3 degrees. If the rules enunciated above are to be strictly applied, one planet (that is in the 12th house) loses his whole period while that in the 11th loses only one half wh.ch is mathematically not correct. To calculate the Ayurdaya periods of the several planets correctly and accurately, readers are requested to refer to the 5th Adhyaya of Sripatipaddhati and the sample horoscope worked out by me therein.

the Ayurdaya found in consequence of a malefic planet occupying the Lagna. If the malefic planet in the Lagna be aspected by a benefic one, the reduction will be only by half of the period above found. NOTES. The greatest amount of reduction under this count will be 1 th of the whole Ayus when the Lagna happens to be the very end of a sign. According to some, the number of years of reduc. tion is obtained by multiplying the total number of years already obtained by the number of Navamsas between the first point of Mesha and the Lagna-whole and fractional-and dividing the product by 108. Thus, should the Lagna be at the very end of Meena, and if a malefic should occupy the same, the whole Ayus is lost! The former view appears more rational. The latter view is not favoured either by Bhattotpala or by Kalyanavarman. The commentator also adds that when there are two planets one malefic and the other benefic occupying the Lagna, the planet that is nearer to the rising Navamsa is alone to be considered and not the others. If the malefic planet be nearer, then the reduction enjoined has to be made; but if the benefic be nearer, then no reduction need be made. The word x (Krura) in this sloka does not include the waning Moon; for, says the commentator. तत्र क्रूरशब्देन क्षीणश्चन्द्रमा न ग्रह्यः। तथा च बादरायणः सूर्याङ्गारकमन्देष्वेकस्मिन् लमनगे भवति हानिः । विधिनात्वनेन सौम्येक्षिते दलं पातयेल्लब्धम् ॥ इति ॥ In the exapmple, the Lagna is 0-14°-32' or 4 72 100 Navamsas. This is to be divided by 108 and multiplied by the several Ayur- dayas already found. As there are two malefic planets, viz., Saturn and the Sun in the Lagna and aspected by Jupiter, a benefic, the reduc.ion to be made in the Ayus will be 4.36

It is 25 in the case of asscs and camels and 24 for bulls and buffaloes. Twelve years are allotted for dogs and 16 for sheep and the like. NOTES. The maximum period fixed above for men will be possible in the example given in the next sloka. Even then all the planets cannot be in exaltation, nor can all of them be exempt from the reductions enjoined in Sloka 4. By rule-of-three process, we get the Ayurdaya of horses and other animals. Suppose it is required to find the longevity of a dog. Cast the horoscope of the dog, and calculate the Ayurdaya as you do for a man, and say you get 90 years. The Ayus of the

dog will be 12× 90 120 years 5 days or 9 years roughly.

NOTES.

Varahamihira here criticises the methods of Vishnugupta, Devaswamin and Siddhasena. According to them after araifre (Balarishta) none can die before 20. That their system is wrong is self-evident. In his commentary on this sloka Bhattotpala gives the following horoscope and says that the total longevity does fall below 20 years ;- Lagna-1st Navamsa of Kumbha, Sun, Moon and Venus occupy their exaltation degrees. Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury occupy their depression degrees and Mars is in the 28th degree of Kumbha. The Sun, the Moon and Venus contribute 19, 25 and 21 years respectively.

being in Kumbha, the Ayus of 98} years suffers a reduction of 10 × 9 108 orsth and the net Ayus is of 981 or 16 years 5 months,

etc. That the above view of Bhattotpala is not correct will be evident from the fact that there is no क्रूरोदयहरण (Krurodaya- harna) in this horoscope inasmuch as Mars is not in the Lagna bhava (though in the] Lagna Rasi) but only in the 2nd house since he is more than 26° removed from the Lagna. Further, even supposing that there is a malefic planet in the Lagna bhava, it is a question, as already pointed out previously, whether we are justified to reduce the Ayurdaya by more than 1 th for pur. posses of Krurodayaharana.

यस्मिन्योगे पूर्णभायुः प्रदिष्टं तस्मिन् प्रोक्तं चक्रवर्तित्वमन्यैः । प्रत्यक्षोऽयं तेपु दोपः परोऽपि जीवत्यायुः पूर्णमर्थैर्विनाऽपि ॥।८।। Sloka 8 - That combination of planets which enables the native to live for the maximum period of life (120 yetrs end 5 days) has been pronounced by others as one leading to emperorship. The defect (in this system) is thus self-evident as there arc many who live up to this period even without wealth.

NOTES In order to live the full maximum period (120 years and 5 days) of life, we have seen that a man shorld have six planets in exaltation. But according to some authors like yaa (Yavana) and others, such a man will be a king. (vide infra Chapter XI-1). This sloka is therefore evidentiy a criticism levelled by Varaha- mihira against the methods of Ayurdaya adopted by Yavana, Badarayana, Parasara and others. Varahamihira does not accept

SL. 9] सप्तमोऽव्याय: 159

the above vicw of Yavana and others, viz., that six planets in exaltation at birth will usher a king into the world. Nor does he concur in the view that merely because there are planets in depression, they will not make one a king, if there should be Rajayogas as given or understood by him.

The Moon's period is 17070 200 = 85.35 years. Since this is greater than 12, his net period is 1.35 years. The position of Mars is 11-27°-53'; converting this into minutes and dividing by 200, we get 21473 200 =107.365. Subtract- ing multiples of 12 we get 11365 years which is the अयुसू (Ayus) contributed by Mars.

Mercury gets 21254 200 or 106.27 minus 96 or 10.27 years.

Jupiter's period is 14485 200 or 72-425 minus 72 or 0.425 years.

The same is to be doubled whon,the planet is in a Vargottamamsa ( anfoms), in its own Navamsa, in its own house, or in its own decanate. This is the 21

peculiarity in the method of working out the Ayurdaya according to Satyacharya All else is similar to what has already been strted.

NoTes. The Sun is in his exaltation. His period has to be trebled. Mars is in Vargottamamsa. Jupiter is in his own house. The Sun is in his own decanate. The same advantages exist for Mars and Jupiter. The periods of these have to be doubled. (But according to Sloka 13 infra, only one multiplication-the biggest-is to be made.) According to some, when a planet undergoes multipli- cation more than once, add up all the multipliers and then multiply only once. T'he Sun's period is 5.315 x (3+2) or 26-575 years.

The Moon's period = 1.35×5 = 1.125 years. 6 Mars' period = 11.365"x (2 +2) minus whole or 0. Mercury's period = 10 27 years. Jupiter's period=0.425x (2+2) or 1.7 minus } x 1.7=11-9 or 1.4875 years. Venus' period = 4-215 years. Saturn's period = 8.38 years.

If the Lagna be strong, it gives in addition as many years as there are Rasis in the figure denoting the Lagna. In this संत्यायुर्दाय (Satyaurdaya), the reduction due to the presence of a malefic planet in the Lagna does not find place. The years assigned to the planets in the previous Ayurdayas are not to be used for calculation.

NOTES. The author talks of लग्नायुस् (Lagnayus) here. The Lagna is strong in the horoscope under reference. The Lagnayus is therefore 0-140-43' + 14° 43' 306 or 4.358 + .484 or 4-842 years.

Sloka 13 .- The rule of Satyacharya is preferable (to that laid down by Maya or Jeevasarman). But some make the process inconsistent and unwarrantable by a series of multiplicitions. The dictum of the Acharyas (Satya and others) is the following :- (1) Where several multiplications crop up, only one, and that the highest, is to be gone through (For instance, when a planet is in its own house, and in its exaltation and in retrograde motion, the Ayurdaya is not to be doubled first and then the result trebled and the second result further trebled. According to the rule, the Ayurdaya should be trebled once for all.) (2) Again, when there are several reductions applicable, only one, and that, the greatest should be made. (For instance, a planet may be in an inimical sign and may be eclipsed by the Sun.

Then will come in the first portion of the life the dasas of the planets in the Kendra position with respect to the strongest of the aforesuid three; the dasas of the planets placed in the succedent houses will occur next, viz., in the middle portion of the life; and the dasas of planets in the cadent houses will happen in the concluding portion of the person's life. If there be no such planet in the Kendra and Panapara houses, it does not mean that there are no ripening of dasas in those particular portions of the life. The dasas of planets in the Apoklima house will then ripen in the first period of life.

NOTES. By the expression उदयरविशशाङ (Udayaravisasanka) and the order in which the words are used, Varahamithira implies that if all the three are equally powerful, then the Lagna dasa comes first, next that of the Sun and then the Moon's. If only two of them are powerful (of the same strength), even then the above order holds. If, for example, the Lagna and the Moon have equal strength, the Lagna dasa comes first and then the Moon's dasa follows.

Now if two or morc planets should be situated in such a position, then the dasa of the strongest of the lot would lead off; then would follow that of the planet next in strength, and so on. But if such planets should be possessed of equal strength, then the one thatjhas a longer Ayurdaya would have his dasa prevail earlier. If in the above case, the Ayurdaya again should turn out to be equal, then the planet which should first become visible after its conjunction with the Sun would rule the earlier dasa. But Yavaneswara's rule is not so hard and fast when he says : वयोधिको यः प्रथमोदितो वा ग्रहः स पूर्वः पठितो दशेशः । If such planets should however chance to have eq .al strength, equal longevity and equal rising after their conjunction with the Sun, then that planet wihch is anterior in the general order of precedence among the significators would rule the dasa in question ; and this general oider of precedence is usually taken to be (1) the Lagna, (2) the Sun, (3) the Moon, (4) Mars, {5) Mercury, (6) Jupiter, (7) Venus, and (8) Saturn. As an example, let us suppose the Moon to be the strongest significator in a horoscope, and the Lagna, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter to be in Kendra positions with respect to the Moon and both the respective strength and longevity of each of these four Kendra occupants to be quite the same. As it will be completely out of the question to think of an apparition atter a solar con juction in regard to the Lagna and the Sun, the ET,EH (Dasa krama) in this supposed case will be first the Lagna dasa (as the Lagna is anterior to the Sun in the general order of precedrnce) and then the dasa of the Sun; of the remaining two signiflcaters, Mars and Jupiter, whichever will be the first to become visible after its conjunction with the Sun will rule the third dasa and so

on. But if these two should have a simultaneous apparition after a solar conjunction, then Mars would rule the third dasa and Jupiter the 4th in the general order of precedence. गुणाकर :- विलग्नार्केन्दूनां भवति बलिनः प्रागिह दशा ततः केन्द्रस्थश्याथ च फणपरस्थस्य बलिनः ।

Since Lagna is the strongest of the three, viz., the Lagna, the Sun and the Moon, its dasa comes first. There are 4 planets in the Kendras with reference to the Lagna, viz., (1) the Sun, (2) the Moon, (3) Venus and (4) Saturn arranged according to their strength. The dasas of these follow next in order. Jupiter is the only planet in the Succedent houses. His dasa therefore occurs next. In the cadent houses there are two planets, Mars and Mercury. Mars being the stronger of the two, his dasa precedes that of Mercury.

He justifies this view by pointing to the use of the singular number in the expression qe5er: (Ekarkshagaha), त्रिकोणगृहग: (Trikonagrihagaha) and also quotes in support of his view the following .- यम :- एकर्क्षोपगतानां यो भवति बलाधिको विशेषेण। एक: स एव हर्ता नान्ये तत्र स्थिता विहगाः ॥ Also केशवपद्धतिः- अर्द्ध स्यैकभगस्त्रिकोण गृहगस्त्रयंशस्य चासते नगां। शस्यांघ्रेश्चतुरस्त्रगो निजगुणैः पक्तैकभे स्यादली ।। But this view is not accepted by दिवाकरदैवज्ञ, the learned commentator of the above work, for, he is of opinion that all the planets posited in the same sign should share the number of years due to them and not the strongest alone and would further have the expression "पक्तैकभेस्याद्वली" in the sloka quoted above, altered into "पक्तैकभेतेऽखिला:", and supports his position from Parasara. बहवश्चेत्तु तेऽखिलाम्। केन्द्रादिगा ग्रहाः सर्वे ददत्येवापहृत्य च ।। and also from सारावली- अन्तर्दशा यदा स्यात त्रिचतुर्णामेक राशि संस्थानाम्। बन्दनविनाशदैन्यं विद्धायशुभग्रहाणां तु॥। दिवाकर (Divalara) says that Varahamihira though admittedly very clever in extracting the essence from every author, has not anywhere laid down the dictum एकराशिगानां एकोंशे हरति बली, to wit, the strongest alone of the several planets occupying a Rasi rules the Antardasa, etc. The same Divakara says also

172 बृहजातके [ CH VII

that the quotation from a# (Yama) should be understood more as referring to the divisor that has to be determined in the चक्रपातार्द्धहानि (Chakrapatardha hani) process than as attributing the rulership of the Antardasa to the strongest planet of the lot; and that if H (Yama) meant any thing else, he would have said एक: सएवदाता instead of एकः सएवहर्ता, etc. Nor does दिगाकर (Divakara) endorse the अन्तर्दशाक्रम (Antar- dasakrama) accepted by 3273 (Utpala) on the authority of the casual order in whlch the several Antardasapatis are mentioned in books. As many authors have described the Antardasas ruled by the several plancts in a certain definite order, some hold to the view that the Antardasas must be taken to transpire only in that order. But there are others who oppose this view and hold that the अन्तर्दशाक्रम (Antardosakrama) is the same as the दशाक्रम (Dasakrama) as enjoined by गर्ग (Garga) मूलपाकपतिः पूर्व ददात्यन्तर्दशां ततः । दशाक्रमवशादन्ये दद्युरन्तर्दशां ग्रहः ॥ Sripati follows Gargai Kesava and Divakara are of the same vicw. From the quotations given below, it will be seen that even the q134H (Patakrama) is not the same and the position of Bhattotpala therefore seems to be untenable. पराशर- दायगस्य तु सर्वस्य सहगस्य दलं भवेत्। सुतधर्मगयोस्त्त्र्यंशः पादं मृतिसुखस्थयोः ॥ सप्तांशं सप्तमस्थस्य प्रक्रियाप्यधुनोच्यते। हालुगिपद्धति :- दशार्द्ध मे कगेहगवितिकोणगो गुणांशकम्। सुग्नऽष्टमे युगांशकं नगांशमस्तभस्थितः ॥ Both the views find mention in सारावली- केन्द्रादिविधिना चान्ये केचित्पाठक्रमेण तु।। It may be noted in passing that the qraey (Patakrama) is identical in (1) Sripati.

bamihira, though Sripati sets his face against regarding the Pata- krama as indicative of the order of precedence of the Antardasas. In the sample horoscope referred to in the notes to the pervious sloka, let us take the case of the Lagna dasa. There are three planets in the Lagna, viz., the Sun, Venus and Saturn. According to one view each of these planets will mature the Lagna dasa by its influence for a period equal to half of that ruled by the Lagna Antardasa. Others say that only one planet which is strongest-in the present case, it is the Sun-that will rule for half the period of the Lagna ( अन्तर्दशा) Antardasa. Jupiter being in a house trine to the Lagna will rule for } of the period of the Lagna Antardasa. There are no planets in the 7th, or the 4th or the 8th. गुणाकर :- अर्द्धमेकभवने त्रिकोणयोस्त्र्यंशमस्तगृहग: म्वरांशकम् । पादमत्र चतुरस्रसंस्थिता पाचयन्ति खचरा निजैर्गुणैः । एकर्क्षे यदि भूयांसः संभवन्ति नभश्र्राः । एक एत तदा तेषां दद्यादन्तर्दशां बलीम ।। Also सारावली अर्धमेकस्थितो भाग त्रिभागं सुतधर्मयोः । सप्तमे सप्तमं भागं चतुर्थ चतुरश्रयोः ।। मूलं दशाधिनाथस्य कृत्वांशं र्वगुणैर्ग्रहः । करोत्यन्तर्दशां सत्यां बली हरति भगशः ॥

NOTES In the Lagna dasa, Lagna antardasa comes first and his period is denoted by 1. The Sun's Antardasa is 2. The same remark applies to the antardasas of Venus and Saturn. Jupiter's is denoted by J. There are no planets in the aaT9 (chaturasra) houses, nor in the 7th The antardasa constituting the Lagna dasa are (1) Lagna antardasa, (2) the Sun's antardasa (3) Venus' antardasa (4) Saturn's antardasa and (5) Jupiter's antardasa. 1+2+2+2+ }=17. Out of 17 parts, Lagna gets 6, Sun, Venus and Saturn each gets 3 and Jupiter 3. Since Lagna dasa is 4.8341 years, we get the Lagna Antardasa to be 1.7062 y cars, Sun's, Venns' and Saturn's each .... .8531 Jupiter's .... .5687

But if the other view be taken, viz., that the strongest alone should be the q15 among several planets grouped together, we have the antard.isas of the Lagna, the Sun and Jupiter in the proportion of 6. 3. 2.

भ्रष्ठस्य तुङ्गादवरोहिसंज्ञा मध्या भवेत्सा सुहृदुच्च भागे आरोहिणी निम्नपरिच्युतस्य नीचारिभांशेष्वधमा भवेत्सा ॥६॥। Sloka. 6-The dasa of a planet fallen from exaltation is termed अवरोहिणी (Avarohini) or descending; while that of a plinet in a friend's or exaltation house is named q5 (Maddhya) or middling. The dasa of a planet proceeding from his depression is called आरोहिणी (Arohini) or rising. The dasa of a planet that is actually in his depression sign or Amsa or in an inimical Rasi or Amsa is termed ergu (Adhama) or worst.

NOTES. अवरोहदशा (Avaroha dasa) is the dasa of a planet going from his exaltation point to his depression. The same planet during this decline if well placed in the house of a friend becomes capable of making his dasa f (Maddhya) or middling in effects. If he is ascending to his exaltation from depression he is enag (Aroha). When ascending if he is in an inimical house (not well placed) he becomes अधमा (Adhama). Therefore a planet, when ascending, if he be in detriment, becomes अधमदशानाथ (Adhama dasanatha). If, in descending, he gets good places, the dasa improves. Therefore exaltation and depres- sion points are not necessarly good or bad except when the planets get good ur bad places (मित्रक्षेत्र Mitrakshetra, शन्तुक्षेत्र Satrukshetra), angular houses केन्द्र (Kendra) or bad houses (8th, 12th, etc.)

If Mercury be malefic, the person will become harsh in speech, will suffer imprisonment, grief and will have no peace of mind. He will further suffer ailments arising from the three humours वात (Vata), पित्त (Pitta), and कफ (Kapha).

If the planet be of a mixed nature (so far as his position in the horoscope is concerned), the effects will also be mixed. The effects of the Lagna dasa will be similar to those of its lord.

Sloka 20 .--- Whatever substance is mentioned as belonging to a planet in the Chapter on " Definitions" (Ch. II-12), and whatever calling is declared appro- priate to a planet in the Chapter on "Profession" (Ch. X-1), whatever has been spoken of as the effect of the presence of planets in the several bhavas (Ch. XVIII and XX) and of their being associated with (Ch. XVII) or aspected by (Ch. XIX) other planets and of their combinations or yogas (except Nabhasa yogas), all these must be duly assigned to the planets concerned in their respective dasas. NOTES गुणाकर :- यस्य ग्रहस्य यद्द्रव्वं कर्म जीवश्च यश्य यः । हग्भावस्थानयोगात्थ फलं स्यात्तददशासु तत् ।। Also श्रीपतिः- यद्यद्द्रव्य कथितमृषिभिर्यस्य यस्य ग्रहस्य कर्माजीवोऽपि च तनुभृतां यञ्च य्चोदितोऽत्र। यद्धावोत्थं यदपि गृहज योगज दृष्टिजं यत तत्तत्सवे ग्रहचलवशाद्योजनीयं दशासु ।। In predicting the severnl effects of the dasa of any planet, Varahamihira says that it will not do to mention only what has been described to happen in the dasa of that particular planet (vide Slokas 12-18 supra). These will have to be generally supplemented by the effects due to other considerations as well, of the planet, viz., its influence due to its functioning as sane (Dasanatha) or eael9 (Antardasanatha), to its position in the rasi occupied, to its association with other planets, to the benefic dots obtained in its Ashtakavarga, to its occupation of any particular decanate, Navamsa and other Vargas, etc. All these effects will also have to be suitably added on The parti- cular constituent of the Kalapurusha represented by the planet, the political grade typified by it, the particular colour ascribed to

SL. 21] अष्ठमोऽच्यायः 198

it, the substance typified, vegetable, mineral and animal kingdom represented by it, the precious stone typified by it, the article of apparel, the constituent element of the body represented by it, the particular flavor ascribed to it, the effect due to all these have to be fittingly brought in during the dasa of the planet under consideration. For instance, in the Sun's dasa, should the Sun be auspicious in the nativity, royal favour, self satisfaction, acquisition of red substances, of copper and the like, company of people of the Kshatriya caste, the quality of goodness, possession of good vital energy, etc., all these will have to be predicted. If the Sun be bad, the loss of these has to be thought of; simi. larly in the case of the Moon and other planets. For further information the reader is referred to the 511e711 (Dasadhyayee) commentary on this sloka.

NOTES. The Sun and Mars-Fire. Moon and Venus-Water. Mercury-Earth. Jupiter-Ether. Saturn-Air.

Mars and the Sun govern the Eyes. Saturn Touch. Jupiter ,, Ears. Venus and the Moon ,, Face Mercury Nose. Application .- Suppose Jupiter is afflicted at birth. In his dasa period, you must predict ear troubles. Suppose Mars or the Sun is afflicted at birth. In his period should be predicted trouble to the eyes.

By means of the effects described above for the several dasa periods, one can easily conjecture thie tide of events a man may have at any particular period as a result of the effects of the dasr ruling at the time. Where planets are void of strength, the effects though attenuated make themselves felt at least in dreamy reveries. NOTES. Should the dasa period of any planet be bad, the inner soul assumes a malefic character for the time, and misery and loss of wealth will be the result.

Sloka 23 .- When there are two equal but contrary effects given for one and the same planet, they both cancel each other. That is, there will be no effect at all. If they are unequal, the more powerful of the two will come to pass If there are two planeis each giving effects contrary to that of the other, there is no cancellation. That is, one planet does not destroy the effect of the other. Both the planets bear fruit each in their respective dasa periods.

NOTES. Suppose it is Mesha Lagna and Jupiter is in Vrischika, From the point of view of rulership of the 12th house being in the 8th, instead of making the man a spendthrift (12th house rulership), he makes him stingy (on account of the lord of the 12th being in the 8th). From the point of view af rulership of the 9th house (7-Bhagya) being in the 8th, he will be bad for a7_Bhagya (3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th houses are bad houses). These are the houses that cancel each other. Take another case-Mesha Lagna with Mars and Jupiter in the 3rd. Now Jupiter as ruler of the 12th in the 3rd makes him stingy. As ruler of the 9th in the 3rd, there is not much a7 (Bhagya) or happiness. Mars as ruler of the 8th standing for speculation, or sudden gain of money is good for speculation etc. As ruler of the Lagna in the 3rd, the strength of the native is not very good. Double negatives make one strong atfirmative. If the ruler of the 8th house is in the 12th, he is good. Similarly, Jupiter in

196 [CH VIH

the 8th house identical with Makara (Mithuna Lagna horoscope) is good, because, he is in the 8th and also in depression. 3rd quarter of the Sloka .- If two planets are badly placed, say Jupiter in Makara and Mars in Kataka, though they are in opposition and in depression, they will not cancel each other (unless they rule bad houses or are in bad houses). These bad planets will not do harm in their sub-periods but only in their major periods.

अष्टकवर्गाध्यायः

The following slokas from JOTIET (Gunakara) are inserted bere as they form an appropriate introduction to this Chapter. य द्रोचरे जन्मगृहाद्रहाणां प्रथक् फलं द्वादशराशिपृक्तम। नृणां तदेकर्क्षभुवां फलस्य भेदादनैकान्तिकमुक्त्तमाघै: ।। Each planet moving from the place it occupied at the birth of a person admittedly produces its own peculiar effect varying with its progress through the 12 Rasis- Owing to the admitted variation in this effcct, the ancients say that it cannot be laid down as absolutely identical (even) in the case of persons borh under the same star. यत्र स्थितः शीतकरो नराणां स्याज्जन्मराशि तमुद्ाहरन्ति। यथा तथा येषु खगा: सलग्न स्थिता न ते सप्तकतो भवन्ति ॥ Astrologers declare that to be the जन्मराशि (Janma Rasi) of a person wherein the Moon was at the time of his birth. The several places in which the planets and the Lagna may be in all possible ways cannot consist of seven. अतोऽष्राशिर्मनुजोऽत्र सर्व: प्रोक्तोऽत्र तेभ्यश्च शुभाशुभानि । फलानि तेषां च वियोगयोगा यदाऽप्रवर्गोत्थफलं स्फुटं स्यान् ।। Hence every person is declared to have 8 signs as the seats of the seven planets and the Lagna and it is with reference to these 8 places that all the good and evil effects of a person's life due to the disjoined or conjoined states of the planets and the Lagna are calculated-a process which when completed, the Ashtakavarga result as it is called will become revealed.

The planets produce the effect of whichever of these two preponderate in the Ashtakavarga calculations made from the Rasi they occupy at the time of birth. In their own, friendly or उपचय (Upachaya) places, the planets invariably advance the benefic effect revealed by Ashtakavarga. In their depression, inimical or err (Apachaya) houses, they generally fail to sustain whatever good effect may appear from the Ashtaka- varga process.

NOTES. The several places detailed in Sloka 1-7 above are to be reckoned with respect to the Rasi (and not the bhava) occupied by each of the 7 planets and the Lagna at the time of birth.

204 बृहखातक [CH. IX

These places should be understood as benefic and the rest malefic. As each Rasi happens to be counted 8 times (once for cach of the 7 planets and the Lagna) for ascertaining the benefic as well as the malefic places, the maximum number of countings cannot in any case exceed 8. If after computation of a planet's rgean (Ashtakavarga) it is found that a particular Rasi has more countings on the benefic side than on the malefic, it means that the net result is bencficial to the native. If we should denote a benefic place by a dot () and a malefic one by a vertical stroke (I), we can at a glance understand the difference between these two kinds of countings in any gan (Ashtakavarga). The effect of a planet's arrival in any bhava ( ",a) in its progress through the orbit (mrx Gochara), is benefic, mixed or malefic according as the number of benefic dots in the Rasi representing the bhava (wa ) in the Bhinnash. takavargai) (भिन्नाष्कवर्ग) of the planet is greater than, equal to or less than 4. Dots short of the prescribed minimum indicate untoward effect produced by a planet belying any favourable position it muay occupy; while dots in excess of the prescribed minimum betoken good, not with standing the unfavourable position of the planet concerned. For example, if all the 8 happen to be benchc it means that the result is fully beneficial. If only 7 of them are benefic and 1 malefic, the result is 1 or 1ths. beneficial. If in any rasi the number of benefic dots Le 6 and that of malefic strokes be 2, the result is 62 or } beneficial. If the number of benefic dots be 5, we should say that the effect

will be or }th beneficial. If it should be 4, the result is 4-4 8 or 0; that is neither good nor evil, but neutral and so on

27° Jup. Ashtakavarga 5° of Mars Rasi Kundali Benefic dots- Mars 39 Malefic 230 Strokes-56

Saturn 20°

In the sign a4 (Mesha), there are 3 benefic dots and 5 malefic strokes. The 3 benefic dots neutralise with 3 of the malefic strokes. The net result is 2 malefic strokes which means that Mars when passing through this sign will be productiv of or th cvil. Similarly for the other sign. There is one pe. u- liarity to he noticed in the ergai (Ashtakavarga) of Mars. In sign Kumbha ( F2 ) in the evample there are dots and only + strokes instead of 5. This is because the 10th place from the Moon has been declared to be ineffective, that is, neither benefic nor malefic-चन्द्राह्ग्न्फलेपु Chandraddigviphaleshu-for the erra.a (Ashtakavarga) of Mais. That placc has therefore not been taken for the calrulation. The net evil arising there is thus only 43 or 3th, 4-3

In the case of a planct with more henefie dots, the beneflc influence will be all the greater and more marked if the planet concerned should also be posited in an 377 (Upachaya) house {with respect to the Lagna or the Moon, or occupy a friend's house, or his own sign or his exaltation Rasi.

मित्रक्षेत्रगतो वा फलमतिशयितः शुभं दद्यात्

206 बृहजातके [ CH. IX

If on the other hand the planet though getting more benefic dots should happen to be in an अपचय (Apachaya) house (reckoned either from the Lagna or the Moon), or in his depres- sion sigr, or inim.cal sign, the good effect will be considerably reduced If in the above case there be more malefic strokes instead of benefic dots, it will worsen the bad effect. अपचयराशौ नीचे शत्रुक्षेत्रे च जन्मकाले म्यात्। वत्तु स दद्यात्पापं फनमतिशयितो यथाकालम् ।। N.B .-- The अचय (Upachiya) or अपचय (Apachaya) places have to be reckoned with respect to the Lagna or the Moon at the time of birth and not by the position of the planets at the time of गोचर (Gochara). Cf यवनेश्वर-

सूतावभूज्ज-मपती बलस्थे स जन्मगो वन्ध्यफलो निरुक्त: ॥ ई पत्मुद्ृत्खोचनृदिप्टाष्टो मित्र्क्षज-मो.चये बलोयान। यो जातकऽमृत्स तु जन्मसंस्थो दद्याच्छुभ न त्वशुभोऽ्यनिष्टम् ।।

Also मत्- जन्मन्युपचयभत्रने ह्यंको ग्रहो ह्यपचययेषु पुष्टफलः । अनयभवनोपेनाः पीदस्थने हयाज्याय।

These authors have in their turn specifically stated, by the words जन्मक.ले (Janmakale), सूनौ (Sutau), जन्मनि (Janmani), that good and bad places have to be determined with respect to the positions of plancts at birth-time only. But at the time of producing the effects, all planets excepting the Moon will cause their full good or bad eifect to comc to pass provided they are strong and not otherwise. In the casc of the Moon, even if she is benefic (i.e., placed In places such as उपचय, etc,, and the Rasi containing the Moon happening to be associated with benefic dots) if she docs not possess strength, she produces only evil effects; for देकिर्ति says-

SL. 8) नवमोऽथ्यायः 207

षुष्टमपुष्ट स्वफलं दद्यत्सबलो बलेन हीनसतु। ग्रह इव सर्वश्चन्द्र: कष्ठफलो बलविहीनश् ।।

Varahamihira too has said in his work ,51 (Yatra) about the inability (to produce effects) on the part of planets devoid of strength owing to their being in depression, defeat in planetary war, or combustion, etc.

नीचस्था ग्रहविजिता रव्यभिभूता विरश्मयो हृवर्वाः । भुजगा इव मन्त्रहता भवन्ति कार्याक्षमा लमे॥

Thus it will be seen that whatever effects-good or bad- have been ascribed owing to the planet being placed in a sign of exaltation, Swakshetra, Upachaya, etc, it always refers to the position of the planet at the time of birth; and whatever effects, good or bad, that have been ascribed to the planet itself generally without reference in any way to the particular place of occupa- tion should be construed as indicating the result of the planet's transit to the concerned place. It may be mentioned here that in several Panchangams the benefic T (Gochara) phalas of planets are mentioned ; i.e., if partirular planets in their orbit in the zodiac pass through particular plares from the Moon, they become auspicious and so on. It will be seen that these are simply the henefic positions of that particular planet with respect to the Moon in that planet's Ashtakavarga and do not completely represent the entire benefic results of that planet. The Ashtakavarga is used in conncction with t ansits. For example, Saturn transitting the 3rd, 6th and 11th places from the Moon is good provided the benefic dots in thuse places are above 4. Suppose he is transitting the 3rd house from the Mocn in a nativity where the benefic dots are below 4. He will not be very good. His coming in the 3rd house is no doubt good ; but much cannot be expected of him because of the small number of benefic dots. The position in the 3rd house though good, the small number of benefic dots therein disqualifies him to do good.

208 [ Cu. IX

Bhattotpala adds : Varahamihira has before stated (Chapter VIII, Sloka 23. supra) that when two similar effects but contrary in nature are produced by one and the same planet (owing to its ownership of two houses, or ownership of one house and occupation of another house), the result will be nil when the two effects referred to are equal in degree and that it will partake of the nature of the preponderat.ng effect in case they are not of equal degree. एकग्रहरय सदशे फलयोविरोधे नझ वदेदधिकं परिपच्यते तत् ।। A question may now be asked what the author's object was- by making a similar declaration again through the words " gfa निगदितमिष्टं नेष्टमन्यद्विशेषवधिकफलवसकं जन्मभात्तत्र दुघ: The answer is-"No, it is no repetition at all. What was stated be- fore without the aid of Ashtakavarga Table relates to the cancel- Jation of two similar effects but of a contrary character. For example, a planet in onc capacity may be a giver of wealth; the same planet in another capacity may cause luss of wealth. In such a case, both the effects are similar in character and become neutralised with the consequence that the native neither acquires wealth nor incurs any losses But if the planet's capacity to give wealth be in any way stranger for more. reasons than one, the same will of comse predomina e over the opp"site current (of the other effect) and the result will be an influx of some money. In the present veise it has been stated that there is cancellation in the case of good and bad effects even if they are not simiar in nature. This view is further supported by Bada- ri,ana ( बाद्रयण) and Yavand (यवन) as they have admitted this principle while speaking about Ashtakavargas and their several effects. Thus, for example, a certain planet may be the giver of gold on account of a certain reason. The same planet may on account of some other reason cause loss in silver. Though the effcets in these two cases are not similar (because both are not in respect to gold, nor to silver), merely on account of the effects being opposite in nature (one giving and the other taking away), the result is neither benefic. nor malefic. After

SL. 8] नवमोऽध्याय: 209

such considerations of each Rasi on account of its 8 countings, if it is found that benefic points outnumber the malefic, the effect of the planet on that Rasi should he declared as benefic to the extent of the excess benefic dots as already stated. Now the following question may be asked : Well, if Ashtaka- varga then is so important for ascertaining the naturc of the effects, what was the necessity for Varahamihira treating sepa- rately in his Brihat Samhita the R5 (Gocharaphala) of planets with respect to the Moon's place at birth ? The answer is, the intention of Varahamihira is that such of the effects which have not been stated in connection with the Ashtakavarga should be stated in the गोचर (Gochara). Further, as गोचर (Gochara) is wide-known to all, and as it has been treated of by many authors in their works, it has to be inferred that Varahamihira too has adopted the same course followed by his predecessors. For he has said in his work 5I

यस्य गोचरफलप्र माणता तस्य वेधफलमिष्यते न वा । प्रायशो न बहुसंमतं त्विदं स्थूलमार्गफलदो हि गोचरः ॥ Yavaneswara too, after describing the effects separately, has accepted this Ashtakavarga system alone as of primary import- ance; for he has said फलाष्टवर्गे शुभपापलक्ष्ये समानकल्पावफली प्रदिष्टौ। ज्यायांस्तु यस्तस्य फलं विधार्य यात्राविधाने च समुद्गवे च ।। Badarayana also has said कष्रश्रेष्ठे तुल्यसंख्ये फले चेत् स्यातां नाशः फलयोस्तत्र वाच्यः । वाच्या पक्तियांऽतिरिकतस्तयो: स्यात् स्थाने स्थाने कल्पनेयं प्रदिष्टा ।। and has thus accepted only the Ashtakavarga method.

THE ASHTAKAVARGA PLATE

The process of finding the benefic dots in the Ashtakavargas of the several planets in accordance with the method given in' this Chapter involves heavy labor and considerable time especi- ally when it has to be done for several horoscopes. Some 27

210 बृहजातके I CH. IX

methods of simplifying this work have been suggested in the past, but a new contrivance has now been devised which has several merits. It not only does away with the patient labor involved in tbe dull and routine process, but also shows the results in snch a way that one can see at a glance how the benefic dots in any particular house have been contributed. The मर्वाष्टकवर्ग (Sarva- shtakavarga) figures can also be very easily read from the plates at a glance. The practical uses to which the results can be put are, as is known to astrologers, several. The more important of these u.es have been explained in Jatakap arijata, (जातकरारिजात) Chapter X. The construction of the Ashtakavarga plate : nd the method of reading the results frcm the same will now be explained.

The contrivance consists of nine circular plates (discs of zinc, copper or brass), of successively larger radii placed one over the other in the order of their size, the largest being placed at the bottom and the smallest at the top, A radius of one inch for the smallest and three inches for the largest, the difference between the radii of successive plates being }th of an inch will be found suitable. The bottom-most plate has an axle with screw arrangement fixed to its centre about which the other plate revolve. By tightening the screw at the top, the plates can be fixed up in any desired position. Each plate cevers the central pertion of the next bigger plate, exposing to view oniy a circulat strip or rim. The top p'ate is of course fully exposed. The top plate and the narrow strips of other plates are each divided into 12 equal parts. The dividing lines are so drawn that they form a straight line when the plates are adjusted for any horoscope. The twelve divisions of the top plate are assigned to the twelve signs of the zodiac. In the visible rim of the next bigger plate are arranged the figures indicating the benefic dots counted from the Sun in the several Ashtakavargas. The next plate contains figures of benefic dots counted from the Moon; and the next one, from Mars; and so on in the order of the Sun, the Moon, Mars. Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the

SL. 8] नवमोऽध्याय: 212

Lagna. One of the divisions of each of these plates contains a dot denoting the position of the planet to which the plate relates. Thus the dot in the largest plate indicates the position of the Lagna. To adjust the plates for any horoscope, keep the bottom- most plate in the position and rotate the next plate (relating to Saturn) until the division containing the dot is as many divisions removed from the dot in the Lagna plate as Saturn is removed from the Lagna in the horoscope under consideration. For example, if Saturn occupies the 8th house from the Lagna, move the plate relating to Saturn till its dot comes to the 8th division from the Lagna plate. Then hold the two plates in position firmly and proceed similarly with the third plate. Then hold the three plates in position and proceed with the fourth and so on. When the Sun's plate also has been thus fixed, rotate the topmost plate until the name of the particular Rasi representing the Lagna in the horoscope under consideration is brought directly above the division containing the dot in the Lagna plate. It will now be found that the divisions containing the dots in the several plates are directly below the signs of the zodic res- pectively occupied by the planets at birth, so that the positions of the planets in the radix of the native can now be read out from the plate. Fix up the plates by tightening the screw at the top. They are now ready for reading the result. The '1's indicate benefic dots relating to the Sun's Ashtakavarga; the '2's indicate those relating to the Moon's and so on. The number of ' 1's in the several plates in the ' Mesha' division represents the benefic dots in the Ashtakavarga of the Sun in that division ; the number of ' I's in the several plates opposite to ' Vrishabha' representing the benefic dots In the Sun's Ashtakavarga in Vrishabha and so on. Similarly, the number of '2's in the divisions of the plates oppsite to ' Mesha' represents the benefic dots in the Ashtakavarga of the Moon in ' Mesha'; the number of . 2's in the parts of the plates opposite to ' Vrishabha', the benefic dots in the Ashtakavarga of the Moon in 'Vrishabha'; and so on. The number of ' 3's will similarly yield the results

for Mars, '4's for Mercury, '5's for Jupiter, '6's for Venus, and '7's for Saturn. The following figure shows the plate properly arranged for the positions of the planets in the sample horoscope given below ·-

It will be seen that the dotted division of the plate relating to the Sun has been brought rgainst Kataka as the Sun occupies Kataka in the Kundali ( 0)- the dotted part of the plate relating to the Moon has been arranged against Mithuna as the Moon occupies Mithuna; the dotted part of the plate relating to Mars has been brought against Simha as he occupies Simha ; and so on. It will further be observed that there are six ' 1's in the division against Mesha, four in the divisions against Vrishabha, and so on. Similarly, there are five ' 2's against Mesha, four ' 2's against Vrishabha, and so on. These represent benefic dots in the Ashtakavargas of the Sun, the Moon, etc., in the several houses. The number of figures (irrespective of what planet they relate to) in the several divisions against a particular house indicates the Samudaya Ashtakavarga (समुदायाष्ट्रकवर्ग) in that house, For example, it will be found that therc are 34 figures in the divisions against Mesha. 34 is therefore the number of benefic dots in Mesha in the Samudaya Ashtakavarga. Similarly for other houses,

NorES Find the planet or planets occupying the 10th place rcckoned from the Lagna as well as from the Moon. Ascertain which of them is strongest. Il the Sun be such a planet, the native gets parental inheritance (from the father); if it be the Moon he inherits property from the mother; if Mars, he gets money from enemies ; if Mercury, from friends; if Jupiter, from brothers; if Venus, from wi.e; and if the planet be Saturn, he gets wealth from inferiors, such as servants, etc. Planets in midheaven of aspiring to Midheaven aeuanfor- afau: (Dasamabhilashinaha) are to be treated accordingly. Secondly, find aut the rulers of the 10th house counted from the Lagna, the Sun and the Moon. Take the strongest of them,

Find out in what Navamsa he is. The ruler of that Navamsa will influence the profession. Let us take the example given in the notes to Chapter VIII Sloka 1. There is the Moon posited in the 10th place reckoned from the Lagna as well as from the Sun, and there are no planets in the 10th house from the Moon. The Moon is therefore the only planet that influences his income. According to the other view. the lords of the 10th place reckoned from the Lagna, the Sun and the Moon are Saturn, Saturn and Venus respectively. Saturn and Venus are in Dhanurnavamsa and Simha Navamsa respectively. The lords of these are Jupiter and the Sun; and the stronger of them is the Sun. The Sun is therefore the planet thet influences the profession. गुणाकर :- अर्थप्राप्तिर्जनकजननीद्विद सुहद् भ्रातृयोषिद्- भृत्यादर्क प्रभृतिखचरैः कल्पनीया: क्रमेण ॥ लमादिन्दोर्दशमगृहगै: स्वरवप के गृहज्ञै. लमेन्द्वर्कास्पदपरिवृढस्थांशनाथस्य वृत्त्या ।। Also सागवली- होरेन्द्वोर्बलयोगाद्यो दशमस्तत्वभावज कर्म।

Every one of these should be considered for determining the source of income of the native.

If this view be accepted, the income for the native in ques- tion will have to be determined with reference to the planets Jupiter (the lord of the Navamsa Rasi occupied by Saturn) and the Sun (the lord of the Navamsa occupied by Venus), i.e., from the sources mentiond in Sloka 2 and 3 infra.

Sloka 2 .- If the Sun be the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th bhava reckoned from the Lagna, the Moon or the Sun (whichever is s rong), the person concerned will e:rn a living by dealing in in grass, gold, wool, medicine and the like. If the Navamsa under reference be that of the Moon, the person gains a living by agriculture, by dealing in things derived from water (snch as conchs, pearls, fish etc ,) or through the medium of women If the Navams in question belong to Mars, the person gains a. livelihood by metallurgy, by violent acts like branding,. fighting, ctc. If the Navamsa belong to Mercury,. the: person concerned will try to earn bis livelihood as a writer, by the use of his mathematical knowledge, by poetry or by pursuing. the arts.

The occupations coming under the Sun are : some honorable employment either under the State or under some public body of men, kings, princes, emperors, dukes, earls, barons, etc., all titled appointments under the crown, jewellers, goldsmiths, gilders, owners of woollen mills or workers there, minters or men employed in mints, and the like. The employments signified by the Moon generally include sailors, mariners, navigators, fishermen, watermen, midwives, nurses, etc. The profession indicated by Mars are all kinds of military men, such as soldiers, generals, colonels, captain, doctors, physicians, apothecaries, chemists, butchers, barbers, execu- tioners, engine drivers and the like- generally all the workers in iron, steel or fire.

NOTES पुत्रस्थैः is another reading for आयस्थैः (Ayastthaihi). To determine the ways by which a person will earn money, the planets which are in the Ist, 2nd and the 5th (opposite to the 11th) houses, in a friend's house, in an enemy's house or in his own house, indicate the source. If the planets be bad, there will be maximum labor and minimum income; if they be good, there will be minimum labor and maximum income. If the Sun is exalted in the above position and at the same time strong (in good houses, etc.,) then the person concerned will earn money by his own exertion. [Note that the Sun in exaltation causes maximum labor and maximum income; the same when the other malefics are posited in the 10th house.] If more than one planet be strong, then the native will have more than one source of income.

राजयोगाध्यायः

This Chapter deals with yogas leading to king-ship. In twenty slokas the author exhausts in his characteristic way the whole ranse of Rajayoga, cnumerates the various views upon the subject, critically examines them, and postulates his own view in preference to the views of others. In the first thirteen slokas, he merely sets forth the views of Yavana and others. In the first sloka, he records the theory of Yavana and the objection raised by Jivasarman when three malefics are in exaltation in a nativity. In the next sloka he describes how according to their view 32 kinds of Rajayogas arise when one or more planets occupy their exaltation, one of them being in the Lagna and the Moon in Kataka. In the third sloka he mentions a further set of 44 Rajayogas arising out of the aspect of four or more planets on the Lagna or the Moon in Vargottamamsi. In the next eight slokas he mentions some particular yogas leading to kingship as understood by Yavana and others In the latter part of this Chapter, he criticises the views of Yavana and his school and points out that four planets in exaltation do not necessarily lead to kingship. Accord_ ing to his view, planets whether posited in exaltation or Swakshetra houses will lead to kingship only when they are trine to one another and not otherwise; and if

222 बृहजातके [ CH. XI

they do not satisfy this condition, the ;yogas will only result in conceding longevity even without wealth. He then gives some of his own Rajayogas.

प्राहुर्यवनाः स्वतुङ्गगैः क्रूरैः क्रूरमतिर्महीपतिः । क्रस्तु न जोवशर्मण: पक्षे क्षित्यधिपः प्रजायते ।१॥

Sloka 1 .- Yavanas hive said that when three male- fics are in their exaltation, a king is born who will be cruelly disposed. But Jivasarman is of opinion that, with malefics as such (i.e., in their exaltation), the person born never becomes a king.

NOTES. Varahamihira without giving his opinion merely quotes the two schouls of Yavana and Jivasarman-Yavanas saying that malefics in their exaltation make a cruel king and Jivasarman maintaining the contrary, vlz., that under such circumstances, no king is ushered into the world.

NOTES. Of the four planets, viz., Mars, Saturn, the Sun and Jupiter in their exaltation, any one of them may be associated with the Lagna There are thus 4 cases. Any three of the above in exaltation may be in 4 ways (+c3=4). and each of these can have 3 varieties as any one of the cxalted planeis may be associ. ated with the Lagna. There are thus 12 cases. The total therefore is 16. Two of the aforesaid plauets mav be in their exaltation in 6 ways (4c9 == 6) and cach of these has 2 varieties as cither of the planet may be assoeiated with the Lagna. There are there- fore 12 cases. Any one of the 4 planets in exaltation being with the Lagna will give 4 cases. The total thus is 16. It should here be noted that these are not however accepted as Rajayogas by Varahamihira.

चन्द्रवर्जित: i.c., "by planets other than the Moon" has reference only so far as Lagna yogas are concerned, for the Moon cannot aspect itself. But a quesition may be asked " Will the aspect of the Moon on the Lagna nullify the yoga if'it is other- wise complete?" The answer is in the negative. In this case, the Moon's aspect does not count, being productive of neither good nor evil and the Moon cannot be one of the planets making up the least number of 4 above stated.

NOTES. Varahamihira in the previous slokas stated the several Rajayogas as mentioned by Yavama and others. He further added that Yavana and the rest maintain that with the above yogas, even persons born outside the royal family become kings. He gives his own Rajayogas hereafter and states the persons without being born in royal families will only become equals (of kings) with such Rajayogas. It thus follows that he does not endorse the above yogas recited by Yavana and others as leading to kingship. (vide also Chapter VII sl. 8 supra).

Here begin the Rajayogas of Varahamihira स्वोच्चस्त्रगृहत्रिकोण (Swocha Swagrihatrikona) means planets must he in their own or exaltation house and at the same time trine to one another. Three or more planets placed in exaltation or Swakshetra, at the same time forming an equilateral triangle will cause the prince to inherit the kingdom of his father.

of लघुजातक- त्रि प्रभृतिभिरुच्नस्थैर्नृपवंशभवा भवन्ति गजानः ।

An objection may be raised here that faor means M ola- trikona. The answer is that if Varahamihira had meant Moola- trikona to be understood here, he would have used Moolatrik na explicity as he has done in Chapter XXII-1 (aas ?e- faaorm: ). The interpretation of Bhattotpala that faroy meins Moolatrikona appears superfluous as all Moolatrikona signs are either Swakshetra or exaltation Rasis; and these have alre idy been mentioned in the beginning of the sloka. This incon- sistency and want of correctness is the result of the interpretation of Bhattotpala and which has generally been followed by other translators; his inference that Slokas 7 and 8 of Chapter VII are not the author's own but mere mterpolations (will not then stand) thus fails.

From II and III, given above it can be maintained that Amavasya conjunction is good and that the Moon or the Sun in opposition to Jupiter is also good. (See Chapters XIX and XX infra.) Also that planets in the midheaven or nearing it (in the 11th house for example) are good.

Sloka 18 .- If the Moon, Saturn and Jupiter occupy respectively the 10th, the 11th and the first, Mercury and the Mars be in the 2nd, Venus and the Sun in the 4th, the person born is a king. Mars and Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, the Sun, and Mercury occupying respectively the 1st, 4th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses, usher a king into the world.

Sloka 19 .- The acquisition of a kingdom will come to happen either in the dasa or antardasa of the planet (if there are more than one, of the strongest of them) in the 10th house or in the Lagna, or, if there are no planets in either of these houses, in the dasa of the strongest planet in the horoscope- In the dasa or Antar- dasa of a planct inimically placed or occupying its depression sign, should be predicted abdication or loss as such, whether willingly or unwillingly.

NOTES. Planets placed in midheaven or if there be no such one, the planets in the rising sign give the kingdom and not the rulers of the 10th house or of the Lagna. If there be no planets in the 10th or the Ist house, the planet that is strongest in the horoscope gives the kingdom. The dasa referred to here is the अंशायुर्दायदशा (Amsayurdayadasa).

It must be noted here that Varahamihira who gives a chance for all lagnas (unlike other authors) for the above Rajayogas to occur is aware also that sometimes the planet though indicating Rajayoga will not actually lead to kingship if it be in depression or inmically placed.

If we go to still higher latitudes, Mercury also can happen to occupy the 4th'house from the Sun. The idea of the sloka is that persons born under the above yoga will enjoy life without caring for expenditure. They will have no status or position and may not have even wealth. Varahamihira in this sloka nicely criticises Yavana and other schools who advocate that the above position constitute Rajayoga

CHAPTER XII

नाभसयोगाध्यायः

In this Chapter, Varahamihira treats of the apra (Nabhasa) or heavenly yogas. In the first sloka he states that these yogas consist of 4 divisons, viz., (1) आकृतियोगा: which have 20 subdivisions; (2) संख्या (Sankhya) योगा: which have 7 subdivisions; (3) अश्रययोगा: (Asrayayogaha) having 3 subdivisions; and (4) दलयोगौ (Dalayogas) having only 2 subdivisions or a total of 32 in all. The Yavanas are said to recognise 1,800 varieties of these (Nabhasa) H, yogas. In the second sloka, he states how the 3 आश्रय (Asraya) and the 2 दल (Dala) yogas are formed and he explains, in the next sloka, why some astrologers have failed to treat them separately A peculiarity with these enaa (Asrayayogas. is that they produce the effects described for them only when they do not partake at the same time of the nature of other yogas. Otherwise the other yogas become effective and bear fruits (vide sloka 12). In slokas 4-9, the 20 engfa (Akriti) yogas have been treated. In the 10th sloka the author describes the 7 संख्या (Sankhya yogas). Then follow the effects of the several yogas above-mentioned, viz., those of the अश्रय (Asraya) and दल (Dala) yogas in sloka 11; those of the आकृति (Akriti) in sloka 13-17; and those of the tieT (Sankhya) yogas in slokas 17-19. In the end (latter half of sloka 19), the author makes it known that the one distinguishing feature of the aprH (Nabhasa) yogas is that their effects are felt throughout life unlike the other yogas where the 32

250 बृहजातके [ CH. XII

effects are felt only during the dasa or antardasi period of the yoga-producing planet or planets and not afterwards

नवदिग्वस वस्तिकाग्रिवेदै- र्गुणिता द्वित्रिचतुर्विकल्पजा: स्युः । यवनैतिगुणा हि पट्शती सा कथिता विस्तरतोऽत्र तत्समाः स्यु: ॥१॥

Sloka 1 .- Nine, ten and cight multiplied by 3, 3 and 4, respectively, represent the numbers of the first two (आकृति Akriti and संख्या Sankhya), the first three (आकृति Akriti, संख्या Sankhya and अश्रय Asraya) and all the four kinds (आकृति Akriti, संख्या Sankhya, आश्रय Asraya and a3 Dala) of Nabhasa yogas. The Yavanas have recognised 1,800 subdivisions of Nabhasa yogas. Their summary is given here.

NOTES. The term 'Nabhasa Yogas' is the name given to आकृति Akriti, संख्या Sankhya, आश्रय Asraya and दुल Dala yogas and is thus the genus and the above 4 yogas the species. There are 20 Akriti yogas, 7 of Sankhya yogas, 3 of Asraya and 2 of Dala or 32 in all. नव Nava=9; दिकू Dik=10; वसु Vasu=8; त्रि Tri=3; अमि Agni=3; and वेद Veda=4. 9x3-27,10x3=30,8x4=32. The number 27 denotes the sum total of erlafa Akriti and संख्या Sankhya yogas; 30 denotes the sum total of आकृति Akriti, संख्या Sankhya and आश्रय yogas. And 32 denotes the sum total of all the 4 yogas.

St. 1] द्वादशोऽध्याय: 25₽

It will now be explained how the Yavanas recognise 1,800 subdivisions. Of the 20 आकृति Akriti yogas, the गदा Gada yoga (see Sloka 4 infra) has been treated of by the Yayanas as 4 distinct yogas. The number of enasfa Akriti yogas is thus 23. The 7 संख्या Sankhya yogas are split into 127 संख्या Sankhya yogas for each Lagna by the Yavanas thus :- The yoga वीणा Veena (also called वल्लकी vallaki vide Sloka 10 infra) which is caused by the 7 planets occupying any 7 signs has 7 subdivisions as each of these 7 planets may occupy the Lagna. The second संख्या Sankhya yoga दाम (Dhama) according to which all planets should be in any six houses. The Yayanas recognise 21 varieties of this yoga (number of yogas caused by 5 out of the 7 planets being in 5 houses and the remaining 2 occupying the Lagna). The next yoga is q137 Pasa, This has 35 varieties (4 of the 7 planets occupying 4 houses and the remaining 3 being in the Lagna). The next yoga, viz., $ar Kedara has also got 35 varieties for the same reason. Similarly, 313 (Sula) has got 21 subdivisions and युग Yuga 7 subdivisions. Lastly गोल (Gola) has only one, viz., the case in which all the planets are placed in the Lagna. So that the 7 संख्या (Sankhya) yogas are subdivided into 7+21+35+35+2!+7+1 or 127 divisions. These added to the 23 enafa Akriti yogas mentioncd above give us 150 yogas for each Lagna or 1,800 yogas for the 12 lagnas. The era Asraya and Dala yogas are not taken by them into account.

NOTES. आश्रययोगा: (Asraya yogas) 3. (1) रज्जु (Rajju). All planets should be in T (Chara-moveable) signs. Planets posited in cardinal signs will make the native ambitious by procceding to foreign places in search of name, fame, wealth, etc. (2) मुशल (Musala), All planets should be in स्थिर (Stthira- mmoveable) signs, The native will be of fixed determination, good status, etc. (3) नल (Nala). All plancts should be in उभय (Ubhaya-dual) signs. The native will be dejected, depressed and disappointed. दलयोगौ (Dala yogas 2). (1) स्त्रक (Srak) -All benctics should be in Kendras. (3) सर्प (Sarpa) .- All malelics should be in Kendras. For the effects of the above yogas vide Sloka 11 infra. Satyacharya has described the three eT197 (Asraya) and the two दुल (Dala) yogas:thus: सर्वे चरेपु राशिपु यदा स्थिता योगमाह तं रज्जुम्। अनघप्रियस्य सततं विदेशवासार्थयुक्तस्य ।। सर्वे स्थिरेपु राशिषु यदा स्थिता मुशलमाह तं योगम्। जन्मनि कर्मकराणां युक्तनामर्थमानाभ्याम्।।

द्विशरीरेषु च नल इति योगो हीनातिरिक्तदेहानान। निपुषानां पुरुषाणं धनसंचयभोगिनां भवति ॥ Also चरराशिगैर्ग्रहेन्द्रै रज्जुः स्थिरराशिगैस्तथा मुशलम। द्विशरीरगतर्योगो नलसंज्ञो मुनिभिरुहि्ट ।। From the words मुनिभिरुहिष्ः (Munibhiruddishtaha) in the above quotation, it will be seen that Satyacharya was not the original discoverer of the yoga, but the earlier sages.

Some commentators are of opinion that the 3 et1arU (Asraya) yogas Rajju, Musala and Nala are caused when the planets occupy all the four of the moveable (immoveble) or dual sigus respectively. But this view, says Bhattotpala, is opposel by Garga who says :- एको द्वौ वा त्रय सर्वे सर्वैर्युक्ता यदा ग्रहैः। चरयोगस्तद। रज्जुर्दुः खिजन्मप्रदो भवेन ॥ स्थिराश्र्रेनमुशलं नाम मानिनां जन्मकृन्नृणाम् । (ज्ञानिनां कृतकर्मणां is also another reading) द्विस्त्रभावो नलाख्यस्तु धनिनां परिकीर्तितः ।।

Regarding the two दल (Dala) yogas स्रकू (Srak) and सर्प (Sarpa) the comm ent itor adds that स्त्रकू (Srab) yuga is caused if the benefe planets occupy three of tue fom Kendras while there are no malefic pianets in any of the Ke idra places, and that when malefic planets occupy three of the Kendras while there are no benefie planets in any of the Kendra houses, the yoga is known as qu (Sarpa), and that the Moon should Le left out of consideration and not classed as benefc or maleflc. He also quotes in support thereof the following two quotations : viz.,

(1) गर्ग (Garga) त्रिकेन्द्रगैर्यमारार्कैः सर्पो दुःखितजन्मदः। भोगिजन्मप्रदा माला तद्वज्जीवसितेन्दुजैः ॥ (2) बादरायण (Badarayana)

Sloka 3-According to some astrologers, the Asraya yogas are the same as the यव (Yava), कमल

(Kamala) वष्त्र (Vajra), पक्षिन (Pekshin), गोलक (Golaka), and others* of the कृति (Akriti) and संख्या (Sankhya) yogas; and the two a3 (Dala) yogas are only similar to the yogas c.used by the planets restricting themselves to Kendras and consequently have the sime effects as have already been described for these. That is why these yogas and their effects have not been separately described. NoTes. Varahamihira has explained in this sloka the reason why some of the astrologers (meaning thereby the Yavanas) have omitted to treat in their works separately of the 3 3T1ere (Asarya) and the 2 दुल (Dala) yogas. It will be seen that the three e974 (Asraya) and the two (Dala) yogas some times (but not always) happen to be identical with some of the अकृति (Akriti) and the संख्य। (Sankhya) yogas. The cordinal signs where plancts are posited need not necessarily be angular at the same time in any horoscope. For instance, suppose all the planets in a certain horoscope happen to be in मेष and कटक As these two signs are moveable ones; the yoga caused is 75 and will be identical with a1 if the Lagna happens to be cither q or 2. But if any other गश (other thanl मेप or कटक ) be the Ingna, and all the planets are as described in the above, there is no nar yoga though it may still be called 53. Again, if all the planets be in सेप and तुला and if one of these Rasis be the Lagna, then too the yoga is 7537 since both the signs are moveable ones. As aq and a3 happen to be

• गद़ा (Gada), शकट (Sal:ata) among the अकृति (Akriti) yogas and युग (Yuga), शूल (Sula) and केदार (Kedara) among the संख्या (Sankhya) yogas.

256 [ CH. XH

the Ist and 7th houses and all the planets are said to be in these two houses, the yoga is 512. Suppose all the planets occupy कन्या and मीन, two of the dual signs, the yoga is 3. If one of these two Rasis be also the Lagna, the yoga is known both as Ta and a. But if मिथुन or धनुम be the Lagna, it will be both पक्षिन् and नल. If any other Rasi be the Lagna, it will only be o asdr. Examples like these can be multiplied The question now arises as to why then Varahamihira makes special mention of these (T(T and a) yogas in his work. The answer is, all the possible instances of these yogas are not included in the आकृति and संख्या yogas. The आश्रय and दल yogas may be these and may not be tkese. It is therefore that the author has deemed it fit to treat them separately. Again, it is said of the two as yogas that other authors have described the effects of benefic and malefic planets occupy- ing the Kendras and as these are as ) the effects of the two as yogas, they have (mittod to treat of them separately. Varahamihira treats of these separately in crder to make it known that the two are anrg yogas and as such their effects are felt throughout life, and not like the other yogas whose effects are felt only during their dasa or antardasa period and not afterwards.

NOTES. In this stanza Varahamihira describes 5 out of the 20 enarfa (Akriti) yogas- (1) nar (Gada). All the planets should occupy adjacent Kendras. There are thus 4 varicties, viz., all the planets may occupy (1) 1st and 4th houses; (2) 4th and 7th houses; (3). 7th and 10th houses and (4) 10th and Ist houses. The Yavanas recognise these as 4 distinct yogas and call them respectively as गदा (Gada), शङ् (Sankha), विभुक (Vibhuka) and ध्त्ज (Dhvaja). The effect is somewhat good and somewhat bad. They will be in squarcs. (2) 57 (Sakata). All planets should be in the lst and the 7th houses. The effect must be bad as planets are in opposition. (3) fagu (Vihaga). All planets should be in the 4th and the 10th houses. The planets being in opposition, the effect must be bad. (4) 2% (Sringataka). All planets should be in the Ist, 5th and 9th houses. Effect good. (5) g3 (Hala). All planets should be in -- (a) 2nd, 6th and 10th houses; (b) 3rd, 7th and 11th houses; (c) 4th, 8th and 12th houses ; that is, in trines beginning with any house other than the Lagna. गुणाकर :- निकट कण्ट कयुग्मगतैर्गदां शकटमस्ततनूपगतं खगैः ।। खसुखयोश्च सुतोदयधर्मगैरभिदधु: खलशृङ्गमुखाटकम ॥

Sloka 5 .- a (Vajra) is produced when all the benefic and all the malefic planets are ranged as in the शकट (Sakata) and पक्षिन् (Pakshin), ie., when all the benefic planets occupy the 1st and the 7th houses exclusively and the malefic planets are in the 4th and the 10th houses exclusively. This order when reversed gives the aa (Yava) yoga, i.e., when the malefic planets are as in. शकट (Sakata) and benefic ones as in पक्षिन् (Pakshin). The yoga becomes कमल (Kamala) when the good and evil planets are ranged promiscuously in the 4 houses indicated (uiz., Ist, 4th, 7th and 10). वापी (Vapi) yoga would result when the 7 planets occupy the 4 succedent or the 4 cadent houses.

For, how can Mercury and Venus occupy the 4th sign from the Sun? NOTES. From the above sloka it will be seen that Varahamihira per- sonally does not recognise the two yogas वज्र (Vajra) and यब (Yava) as possible. The same doubt is expressed by गुणाकर (Gunakara) when he says.

मुनिप्रणोताविति युक्तिबाह्यौ मयोदितौ वज्रयवौ हि योगौ । सूर्याच्चतुर्थे भवने सितज्ञौ कथ भवेतामिति सुप्रसिद्धम् ॥ But readers who are familiar with the working of the भावरफुट (Bhavasphuta) process described in detail in श्रीपतिपद्धति (Sripatipaddhatı), Adhyaya I, and in my notes thereto will easily see that it is not impossible, as we go to higher latitudes, to have some of the bhavas uncommonly short and others extraordinarily long, so that in places like London, Berlin, Petrograd, etc., it i8 perfectly possible that Mercury and Venus may happen to be in the 4th bhava with respect to the Sun, though not in the 4th Rasi as interpreted by Varahamihira. It will therefore be seen that मय (Maya), यवन (Yavana), ni (Garga) and others have not crred in treating of these yogas as possible ones, if the yogas are meant to refer to the positions. of the planets in the भवकुण्डली (Bhava Kundali) and not to the राशिचक्र (Rasi Chakra).

Four more enafa (Akriti) yogas are described in this verse. (10) 4 (Yupa) .- All the planets should occupy the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th houses. The planets are rising or are about to rise.

The next best is avg (Danda), bccause the plancts are elevating or ascending. The other two, viz., इषु (Ishu) and शफ्ति (Sakti) are bad.

NOTES.

Where the enara (Asraya) yogas coincide with other yogas, (see notes to Sloka 3 supra), they cease to be enaTa (Asraya) yogas. So that the सख्या (Sankhya) and अश्रय (Asraya) yogas become null and void (eclipsed or inoperative) when they coincide with any of the अ,कृति (Akriti) yogas. But suppose the अ,श्रय (Asraya) and संख्या (Sankhya) yogas to coincide with each other. How are they to be then treated ? Accord,ng to the commentator Bhattotpala, if the coincidence relates to the केदार (Kedara), शूल (Sula) and युग (Yuga) yogas, the yogas are to be treated as ener (Asraya) yogas only, but if it refer to the rirg (Gola) yoga, it is to be treated as such and not as आश्रय (Asraya) one-otherwise there will be no scpe for the गोल (Gola) yoga at all.

The man that has the FIa (Sringataka) yoga will be happy in his latter days; and the person whose birth is in the g3 (Hal) yoga will be engaged in agriculture. NOTES. From the effects given above, the principle to be deduced is the planets in square or in opposition to one another give bad results, while plerets in trine to one another produce good results and the same is brought out beautifully. And this is our old theory and not the theory of others. Varahamihira does not agree with Parasara and others who think that some Kendras do good. (e.g., Ra Kesari yoga). Varahamihira is consistent throughout as regards the effect of squares, oppositions and trines.

Sloka 19 .- The man whose birth is in the युग (Yuga) yoga is without wealth and is heretical. He who is born in the गोल (Gola) yoga is without wealth, slenderly clad, ignorant, unskilled in any work, idle and always wandering. Thus have been described the नाभस (Nabhasa) yogas with their effects. The yogas treated in this chapter should be considered as permanent, i.e., will have effect at all times, in all the dasa periods.

Sloka 1 .- According as the Moon occupies an angular ($a (Kendra), a succedent (quT Panaphara) or a cadent (erqlfan Apoklima) house in respect to the Sun, will the moral training, the wealth,.the knowledge and the intellectual precision of the person born be the lowest, midding or highest. If the Moon be in its own Navamsa or in that of a very friendly planet and if it be aspected by Jupiter. the person born will be wealthy ; if it be aspected by Venus, he will be happy-in both cases without regard to when the birth takes place- which may be by day as well as by night.

NOTES. From the effects mentioned, it will bc seen that the Moon in a Kendra from the Sun is bad whether in the conjunction (1st), in a square (4th or 10th) or in opposition (7th). Here Varahamihira differs from Parasara with regard to fo (Purnima Chandra).

The Moon situated in the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 1lth from the Sun is middling. 5th is a negative trine and 9th is a positive one.

280 बृहजातके [ CH. XIII

The Moon situated in the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th from the- Sun is good in result. Here Parasara also agrees.

The sloka in the text can also bear the following two interpretations ·-- (1) If the birth be in day time aud the Moon be aspected by Jupiter, the person becomes wealthy. If the birth be at night time and the Moon be aspected by Venus, the person born becomes happy- If the Moon be in his own Navamsa and aspected by Jupiter, the native will be wealthy. If the Moon should be in the Navamsa of a very friendly planet and aspected by Venus, then the person born will be happy. (2) Whether the birth be at night or day, if the Moon be aspected by Jupiter and Venus together, the native is sure to be rich and hippy. The amount of wealth will be in a less degree if the Moon at birth be in his own or in a iriend's Navamsa and be aspected by Jupiter. In the same way the happiness will be slightly less if at birth the Moon being in his own or in a friend's Navamsa be aspected by Venus. गुणाकर :- केन्द्र दिगो दिनमणे: शशभुत्करोति .

Sloka 2 .- With the benefic planets occupying the 6th, 7th and 8th houses from the Moon, there results what is called the Moon's अधियोग (Adhiyoga) wherein takes place the birth of a commander (Police Superin- tendent or head), a minister or a ruler (of a Disirict or Province) Those that are born in the Moon's अधियोग (Adhiyoga) are at the height of prosperity and pleasure, overcome their foes and live a long life, being exempt from diseases and dangers.

NOTES. The yoga will be lowered a little in effect if the Sun should be in opposition to the Moon. The effects described in the third quarter of the sloka will take place if only two benefics instead of three as above be in the above places from the Moon,„and 36

282 बृहजातके [ CIt. XIII

those mentioned in the last quarter result if only one benefic is present in one of the above places from the Moon. The benefic planets referred to are Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Bhattotpala says that the interpretation put by some that all the three places, viz., 6th, 7th and 8th houses from the Moon should be occupied each by one of the three to constitute an अधियोग (Adhiyoga) is not corrcct, and quotes in support thereof the following from श्रुतकीर्ति (Sruta Keerti) who recognises 7 sorts of अधियोग (Adhiyoga). निधनं दानं षछ्ठं चन्द्रस्थानाददा शुभैर्युक्तम् । अधियोग: स प्रोक्तो व्यासकृतौ सप्तधा पूर्वैः ॥ The seven sorts are caused according as the three benefic planets occupy one or more of the three houses, 6th, 7th and 8th places from the Moon. That is, they might occupy (1) all the 3 houses, 6th, 7th and 8th; (2) 6th and 7th; (3) 6th and 8th; (4) 7th and 8th; (5) 6th only; (6) 7th only and (7) 8th only. He also adds षद् सप्रमाष्टसंस्थैश्चन्द्रात्सौम्यैः शुभोऽधियोगः स्यात्। पापः पापैरेवं मिश्रैर्मिश्रस्तथैवोक्तः ।। Padarayana (बादरायण) and Parasara are of opinion that according as all the benefic planets happen to possess superior, medium or ordinary strength, a person born under the yoga will become a king, a minister or a commander. शशिनः सौम्या: षष्ठे धूने वा निधनसंस्थिता वा रयुः। जातो नृपतिर्ज्ञेयो मन्त्री वा सैन्यनायको वाडपि ।। स्यादधियोगे जातः सौम्यैः सघलैर्धराधीश़:। मध्ाबलर्मनत्री स्याद्धमचलैः सैन्यनायक: स्यात्। But कल्याणवर्मन् (Kalyanavarman) classes the चन्द्राधियोग (Chandradhiyoga) with Raja yoga when the planets Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are not eclipsed uor aspected by malefics. सारावली- षछ्ठ गूनमथ्राष्टमं शिशिरगोः प्राप्ताः समर्ताः शुभा: क्रूराणां यदि गोचरे न पतिता: सूर्यालयाद्दूरतः ।

Sloka 3 .- When planets other than the Sun occupy the 2nd, the 12th, or both the 2nd and the 12th houses from the Moon, the resulting 3 yogas are respectively styled सुनफा (Sunapha), अनफा (Anapha) and दुरु्धरा (Durudhara). It is declared by the majority of

284 बृहजातके [ CH XIII

astrologers that in the absence of the 3 yogas defined above, there is the केमद्रुम (Kemadruma) yoga. But there are others who would not allow the केमद्रुम (Kemadruma) yoga where a $ (Kendra) (calculated from the Lagna) or the Moon is associated with a planet. Some there are who declare that the 3 yogas सुमफा (Sunapha), अनफ (Anapha) and दुरुधरा (Durudhara) are to be reckoned from the presence of planets other than the Sun in the 4th and the 10th Kendra fron the Moon instead of from the 2nd and the 12th houses from the Moon; and the absence of any of these 3 yogas indicates the presence of केमदूरुम (Kemadruma). Another class would declare the 3 yogas in reference to the Navamsa occupied by the Moon, i.e., find the Rasi owning the Navamsa which the Moon occupies; if reckoning from this Rasi, the 2nd or the 12th Rasi or both be occupied by planets other than the Sun, these three yogas exist. केमदूरुम (Kemadruma) is the absance of any of these three yogas. But the holders of these last two * views are not recognised as authorities in the science of astrology.

NOTES. Note .- In the yogas propounded by this sloka, the Sun is always kept out of consideration.

• But Parasara has recognised the last two views. cf. चन्द्रचतुर्थैः सुनफा दशमस्थितैः कीर्तितोऽनफा विहगैः । उभयस्थितैर्दुरधरा केमदुमसंज्ञितोऽन्यथा योगः ॥ यद्राशिसंज्ञे शीतांशुर्नवांशे जन्मनि स्थितः । तदिद्वतीयस्थितैर्योगः सुनफाख्य: प्रकीर्तितः ॥ द्वादशैरनफा ज्ञेयो म्रहेर्द्विद्वादशस्थितैः । प्रोक्तो दुरधरा योगोऽन्यथा केमद्रुमो मतः ॥

SL. 3] त्रयोदशोऽथ्याय: 285

(First half) .- The authorities relied on by वराहमिहिरा (Vara- hamihira with regard to this half of the sloka appear to be स्कन्दहोरा प्राजापत्य and बृहत्धराजापत्य and such other works, where, in the absence of the 3 yogas (viz.) (सुनफा, अनफा and दुरुधरा), केमद् रुम is declared as positive. cf. र्कन्दहोरा. अर्कस्तिष्टतु या मा वास्थितेऽप्यस्थितव द्रवेत् । अतो भौमादिभि: खेटैरिन्दो: स्वानत्योभयस्थितैः ॥ सुनफा चानफा चानुभवेध्दुरुधुराऽपि च । अन्यथा वर्तमानैर्वैःर्योग: केमद्रुम: रमृतः ॥

Also प्रजापत्य- अर्केण सह वा तेन विना वा तुहिनत्विषः ।

(Third quarter) .- वराहमिहिर (Varahamihira) relies on गर्ग {Garga) for the principle laid down in this qia of the sloka, who says that in the absence of any of the 3 yogas above stated, the केमद्रुमयोग will be mitigated or nullified by the presence of any of the five planets Mars, Mercuiry, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn in a Kendra or by the Moon's association with any one of them. The words 'केन्द्रे शीतकरेऽथवा ग्रहयुते" are also capable of being interpreted "केन्द्र शीतकरे वर्तमाने अथता ग्रहयुते" that is, if the Moon occupy a Kendra (calculated from the Lagna) or be associated with a planet (one of the five above named). But this has to be rejected on the authority of वराहमिहिर who says प्रत्येकं इाशिपापसमेतैः केन्द्रैर्वा सविनाशमुपैति-(Chapter VI, Sloka 1 supra.) The above interpretation is also opposed to the principle laid by Garge who has said :

286 बृददजातके [ CH. XIII

व्ययार्थकेन्द्रगश्च-द्राद्विना भानुं न चेद्रहः। कश्चित्म्याद्विना चन्द्रं लग्न त्केन्द्रगतोऽथवा। । योग: केमदुमो नाम तदा स्यान्तत्र गर्हित । भवन्ति निन्दिताचारा दारिध्य, पत्तिसंयुनाः ॥ That is, if the 2nd or 12th house counted from the Moon or any of the Kendras-whether reckoned from the Moon, or the Lagna-be not be occupied by any one of the five planets, Mais, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, also resulting yoga is Kemadruma, &c. Also गुणाकर :-- भरन्ति सुनफ नफादुमुधुग धननत्योभयै: प्र हे्विरविभिविधोर्विर हनश्च केमद्रुम.। न चण्टकगते ग्रहे शशियुने च केमदुमो विधोः खसुखगैर्ग्रहंः र्शानवांशक तस्वान्त्यगैः ॥ The correct interpretation of the words therefore are (1) केन्द्रे अथ शीतकरे वा ग्रहयुते मति-"That is, if one of the Kendras or the Moon be associated with a planet " (any one of the five above named) ; (2) कन्द्रेऽशीतकरेऽथवाग्रह्युते-"If Kendra be devoid of the Moon or be occupied by a planet " (any one of the five above named). This interpretation will correspond with the above quoted Garga's principle as also that of Kalyana- varman who says : सुनफ नफादुरुधुराः क्मेण योगा भवन्ति रविरहितैः । = एते न यदा योग,: केन्द्रग्रहवर्जितः शशाङ्कश्व। केमद् रुमोऽतिकष्टः शशिनि च सर्वग्रहादृष्टे ॥ From the above, it will be seen that, according to Garga though the position of any one of the five planets in any one of the Kendras will annul or annihilate the effects,of the के मुद्रुमयोग it does not produce any of the 3 yogas सुनफा, अनफा and दुरुधुरा- [Note .- The Moon in a Kendra associated with one of phe five planets does not destory the effect of the केमद्रुमयोयु]

SL.'3 ] त्रयोद शोऽध्यायः 287

(Fourth quarter) .- But the Yavanas went further, श्तकीर्ति, (Srutakirti) one of the Yavanas, declared that the presence of any of the plancts (1) in the 4th house from the Moon is सुनफा, (2) in the 10th house अनफा and (3) in the 4th and 10th houses is दुरुधुग cf चंद्रचतुर्थे: सुनफा दशमस्थः की र्तिनाऽनफा विहगै। उभयस्थितैर्दुरुधुरा केमद्रुमसंजञितोऽ यथा योग: ॥ देवशर्मा (Devasarma) went still further than अतकीर्ति and declared the yogas with refercnce to the नai of the Moon. cf. यद्राशिसंज्ञे शीतांशुर्नवांशे जन्मनि स्थितः । तद्द्वितीयस्थितैर्योगः सुनफाख्याप्रकीर्तितः ।। रि:फर्थैरनफा ज्ञेया ग्रहैद्विंद्वादशस्थितैः । प्रोक्तो दुरुधुरा योगोऽन्यथा केमद्रुमः स्मृतः ॥ The above two views, viz., those of अतकीर्ति and देवशर्मन् are not accepted by वराहमिहिर or other old astrologers. But कल्याणवर्मा seems to attach some weight to the views of शुतकोर्ति. of. सारावली चंद्राद्रहर्निगदिता: सुनफादयश्च केन्द्रस्थितैर्यदि भवन्ति च तेडत्र योगाः । विश्वम्बराधिपकुलेपु महत्सु जाता योगेपु तेपु मनुजेश्वरतां लभन्ते । But वराहमिहिर as also सत्याचार्य would appear to be strict followers of स्कन्द and प्रजापत f म्वल्पजातक. रविर्ज्य द्वादशगैर्नफा चन्द्राद्वितीयगैः सुनफा । उभयस्थितैर्दुरुधुरा केमद्रुमसंज्ञको योऽन्यः ।।

The presence of the planets in the Kendras, the Moon's association with any of them, the aspect of all the planets over the Moon, are all specific cases of exceptions where केमद्रुमयोग does not operate.

into a Dhurudhura yoga, the 12th house may contain one or two planets, This will be in 2+1 or 3 ways. For the 10 such varieties of सुनफायोग with three planets in the 2nd house, we have 10x 3 or 30 varieties of Dhurudhura. In the same way, for the 5 varieties of सुनफायोग with 4 planets in the 2nd house we have 5 varieties of Dhurudhura. In the case of the gaur yoga which has all the 5 planets in the 2nd house, no Dhurudhura yoga is possible.

Sloka 7 .- If the planet in the 2nd or the 12th be Mars, the person born will be energetic, powerful, wealthy and bold. If it be Mercury, he will be skilful, eloquent and proficient in the arts- If it be Jupiter, he will be wealthy, virtuous, happy and honoured by the sovereign If it be Venus, he will be very rich and a sensualist. NoTes. Varahamihira does not differentiate the effect of the planets by their positions in the 2nd or in the 12th house,' so far as these yogas are concerned. He attributes the effects to the planets causing the yoga without reference to their being in the 2nd or the 12th house.

In a day.birth, the Moon if situated in the visible half of the zodiac will cause evil; but if he be in the invisible half, he will do good. If it be otherwise, the results also will be reverse.

NOTES. If the Moon be in the visible half (7th to Ist) for a day.birth, i.e, when the Sun also is in the visible half, it will not be auspicious, If the Moon is in the visible half (even if he be a weak Moon) for a night-birth, i.e., when the Sun is in the invisible half, the Moon wil! be auspicious. When the Moon is in the mnvisible half for a night scenery (when the Sun also is in the invisible half), it is bad When the Moon is in the invisible half in a day scenery (when the Sun is in the visible half), the Moon is very good.

Sloka 9 .- If all the four benefics, viz., the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be in the Upachaya houses (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) from the Lagna, the person born will be immensely rich. If the three benefics,

SL. 9] त्रयोदशोऽध्याय: 295

Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be in Upachaya Rasis with respect to the Moon, the man becomes an ordinary land-lord. If only two benefics be in these houses, he will have medium wealth If there should be only one benefic, his wealth will be less. (If nonc, he will own no land or house.) Even if there should be other malefic yogas, the effect of this yoga will prevail.

NOTES The principle to be deduced from this is that benefics in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th houses bring forth maximum income with minimum labour, that is by luck or fortune. If malefics should occupy the above pcsitions, the man will have maximum labour and minimum income by dint of hard struggle and work, and so may not be a great gainer financially. This should be read along with the latter half of the prev.ous sloka.

Sloka 1 .- If, at the birth of any person, the Sun be in conjunction with the Moon, he will be skiiled in machinery and stone work; if the Sun be in conjunction with Mirs, the peron born will be intent in doing sinful deeds; if he' associated with Mercury, the person will be clever. intellisent, famous and happy.

the Sun conjunction Jupiter-cruel-hearted, benefits others at the cost of himself; the Sun conjunction Venus-an imitative spirit ; the Sun conjunction Saturn-one who will work hard. Varahamihira consistently maintains that conjunctions are bad from the financial point of view. The Sun conjunction Moon (Amavasya conjunction) in an exception.

Sloka 2 .- If the Moon be in conjunction with Mars, the person born will be a dealer in hammers, ploughs or other rough instruments, women, drinks and earthen jars; he will be disobedient to his mother. If the Moon be associated with Mercury, the man born in the yoga will be sweet-tongued, clever in interpreting, and endowed with good luck and fame. When the Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter, the person born will be over-powering (his enemies), but fickle-minded; he will be a chief of his family and wealthy. When Venus is associated with the Moon, the person born will be an adept in weaving, tailoring and dyeing of cloths. If the 38

Moon be in conjunction with Saturn, the person born will be the son of a widow remarried. NOTES. Moon conjunction Mars-here Varahamihira disagrees from Parasara who maintains that शशिमंगल (Sasimangala) yoga is good. Cf. Western astrologers. Moon conjunction Mercury-combination of two benefics gives good results is well borne out by this yoga. Even this is not good for finance.

When Mars is in conjunction with Jupiter, the person born will be a leader of a city, or a king, or a wealthy Brabmin. The effect of Venus and Mars being together at a birth will be that the person born will be a shepherd, a

Mars conjunction Mercury-the professions mentioned are all condemned ones, according to Manu; also bad for finance. Mars conjunction Jupiter-occupies a good position. (Cf. Western astrologers). Earns by his own exertion-an exception to the ordinary rule. Mars conjunction Venus-a moral wreck. Varahamihira condemns this yoga, while Parasara and others advocate the same.

assembly. If Saturn be associated with Mercury, the person born will be clever in cheating others, and dis. obedient to his superiors. The man at whose birth Jupiter and Venus occupy one house will have good learning, possess wealth and wife and have many good qualities. If Jupiter and Saturn be together at a birth, the person affected by the yoga will be a barber, a potter or a cook. NOTES. Mercury conjunction Jupiter. This is also is not a good yoga for fmance unless these planets rule the house of wealth. insK (Ranga chara) may also mean a Statesman. Mercury conjunction Venus-the person may be a fine speaker with considerable influence. This also is not a good yoga for finance. Mercury conjunction Saturn-the person born under this yoga will prove a rogue and a transgressor of all divine laws. Not good for finance. Jupiter conjunction Venus-this is an exception to the ordinary rule of conjunctions being bad. Good for finance. Jupiter conjunction Saturn-bad for eye-sight. Marriage and start in life simultaneous. By entry of the wife into his house, the man begins to earn. From the above it will be seen that conjunctions are generally bad, especially from the financial point of view. Exceptions,-Jupiter forming a conjunction with the Moon, Mercury and Venus and to a certain extent with Mars is good for finance.

Sloka 1 .- If, at a birth, four or more planets possessed of strength occupy a single house, the person born will become a शाक्य (Sakya), a जीविक (Jeevika), a भिक्षु (Bhikshu), a वृद्ध (Vriddha) or गुरु (Guru), a चरक (a Charaka), a निर्ग्रन्थ (Nirgrantthi) or विवास (Vivasa), a a वन्याशन (Vanyasana) or वानप्रस्थ (Vanaprastha), accord- ing as Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Saturn or the Sun is the strongest planet of the group. If the strongest planet in question be conquered in planetary war by another planet or planets at the time of birth, the person will relinquish that stage of ascetic life and revert to his previous condition in life.

NOTES. The following sloka from जातकपारिजात (Jatakaparijata) ex- plains the several terms referred to in the above verse. वान प्रस्थस्त पस्वी वनगिरिनिलयों नमशीलो विवास भिक्षु: ख्ादेकदण्डी सततमुपनिषत्तत्वनिष्टो महात्मा। नानादेशप्रवासी चरकपतिवरः शाक्ययोगी कुशीलो राजश्रोमान् यशस्वी गुरुरशनपरो जल्पको जीवक: स्यात् ॥ A वान प्रस्थ (Vanaprasttha) is a religious man engaged in the

practice of rigorous and devout penance. A faata (Vivasa) is a naked ascetic dwelling in hills and forests. A forer (Bhikshu) is an illustrious ascetic with a single staff for his symbol engaged ever and anon in the contemplation of the truths of the sacred scriptures. A' Ta (Charaka) is a religious mendicant wandering over many countries. A 31 in an ill-behaved ascctic of the Buddhist class. A n (Guru) is a celebrated teacher endowed with royal splendour.

If there are in one house four or more strong planets (one of them exceedingly strong-all the planets cannot be very strong in one sign), the school of philosophy pertaining to that planet is followed by the native by becoming an ascetic of that order. If, among the 4 planets, two are in conjunction, the weakcst (by virtue of conjunction) nullifies the yoga of the strong planet. The min takes to the religion or faith indicated by the strongest planet, but give it up at the end without much advancement in the faith.

If the planets referred to above be overcome in planetary war and aspected by other planets, the person concer- ned will scek admission into the holy order without succcss. NOTES. If the Sun forms a conjunction with other planets as in the first sloka, then the man does not become a Sanyasin at all- What the Sun'actually does is, he improves the devotional side in the school of philosophy denoted by the strong planet but does not make him a Sanyasin of that school of thought. If the planet that is defeated (by conjunction as above) be aspected by any planet, then the man makes persistent efforts of attaining the end in view.

The Nakshatras that are in the 8th sign (i e, has (Vrischika) where the Moon is in depression are the 16th, the 17th and the 18th. These are bad for the Moon. The middle Nakshatra of the 6th sign, viz, Hasta is also bad. Among the nerafy (Riksha Sandhi) Nakshatras, viz., आश्रेषा (Aslesha), ज्येष्ठा (Jyeshta) and रेवती (Revaii). the last is good, because he is in Jupitcr's sign. enaf (Ardra) is a (Rudra) N .. kshatra of fire. Therefore the Moon, a watery plinet in enaf (Ardra) is bad (except for fiery planets like the Sun, Mars, etc.). All Nakshatras that are bad for the Moon, are in erana (avaroha) position for the Moon, that is, away from the exaltation. Again, all stars that are bad for the Moon are in the 4th, 6th and 8th signs of the zo liac with the notable exception of आर्द्रा (Ardra). The 8th sign (Vrichika) is throughout bad for the Moon, Similar results should be expected if the Moon is progressed to the 8th house as per any system. The middle of the 6th sign (viz., gral Hasta is bad when the Moon progresses there. The end of the 4th sign is (आश्रेषा Aslesha) similarly bad. A fiery star like आर्द्रा (Ardra) Is bad for a watery plinet like the Moon. The Moon progressing to the end of the 4th sign (205 Kataka), the middle of the 6th sign ( Kanya ) and the 8th sign (afrs Vrischika) in any horoscope is bad. Varahamihira has considered that the Moon is good or capable of giving good results in the Nakshatras ruled (according to विंशोत्तरी Vimsottari system) by benefics (including Nakshatras ruled by herself) and also the Nakshatras ruled by her friend the Sun. Next, the Nakshatras ruled by Mars is a little beneficial. The

310 बृहजातके [ CH. XVI

Nakshatras ruled by malefics, though good, are not capable of much improvement for finance. The above analysis is with respect to finance, subject to what has been stated already with respect to the 6 Nakshatras> viz., विशाखा (Visakha), अनुराधा (Anuradha), जयेष्ठा (Jyeshta), हस्ता (Hasta), आश्रेषा (Aslesha) and आर्द्रा (Ardra). It should further be noied that Nakshatras in the signs Makara and Kumbha (Saturn's), though they are ruled by bencfics according to the rule given above, are not capable of making the native generous. Because, the Nakshatras are in the house owned by Saturn, a conservative, stingy planet Cf. अदाता (Adata) for पूर्वा- भाद्रपद्। (Purvabhadrapada) and दुर्गराह्य (Durgrahya) for शतभिषक (Satabhishak) and लुब्ध (Lubdha) for धनिष्ठा (Dhanishta). The Moon is good generally in the signs or Nakshatras ruled by benefics.

Sloka 13 .- The effects described above will fully come to pass only if (1) the Rasi occupied by the Moon, (2) the planet owning it and (3)the Moon herself be all strong. The case of other planets should be decided in the same way, i.e, similar to that of the Moon. NOTES. To be declared strong, the Moon should be above the hori- zon (between the 7th and the 12th from the Lagna) during night or below the horizon (between the Ist and 6th) in a day birth, and must thus be away from the Sun. These elfects will operate fully if the following conditions are satisfied. (1) The Moon must be strong-Mere उच्च (Uchcha) or स्वक्षेत्र (Swakshetra) position is not enough. The Moon's position in relationship with the Sun as described in अशुभकृदुडपो (Asubha- kridudupo), etc. (Ch.

For example, the Sun is in Gemini. In order that the effect described for the Sun in Mithuna to he fully operative, the Sun must be strong; sign Mithun t must be strong and its ruler Mercury should also be strong according to the rule laid down above.

NOTES. Mercury is good in all the signs owned by benefies and bad in all the signs owned by malefics and in his depression sign. In Leo, Mercury improves a little, being a friendly house. It will be seen that planets in Virgo give modesty, forgive- ness, etc., the opposite qualities of a fiery sign.

If Jupiter be in a sign owned by Venus, the person born will have a sound body, will be wealthy, will have friends and sons, wiil be liberal in gifts and will be liked by all. If Jupiter occupies a sign owned by Mercury, the person born will have a pretty good number of clothes, attendants and other paraphernalia, will have many sons and friends, will be posted as a minister and will be happy.

NOTES.

Jupiter is good in all signs except Makara (his depression sign). When he is in a sign of Mars or in conjunction with him, he gives the tendency of extravagance or liberality and he con. trols the fiery spirit of Mars. That is why aruit (kshami).

Sloka 13 .- If Jupiter occupies the sign owned by the Moon, (i.e., Cancer), the person born will possess gem,s sons, wealth, wives, influence, a good intellect and will command all comforts. A person born with Jupiter in sign Leo will be a head of an army besides what has been said for a person born with Jupiter in Cancer. If Jupiter should be in his own sign, the person concerned will either be a king or his minister or a commander of forces, or possess immense wealth. The effect of a person's birth with Jupiter in Aquarius will be similar to that described for one born with Jupiter in Cancer. If, at a birth, Jupiter should occupy Makara the person concerned will be base, poor and unhappy.

In Leo, Jupiter is doubly strong taking also the character- istics of his being in Cancer.

'SL. 20] अष्टादशोऽध्यायः 363

Sloka 20 .- Whatever effects have been ascribed to the Moon on account of her being in the several signs of the Zodiac (Ch. XVII) or as due to her being aspected by the several planets (Ch. XIX), sages describe similar results as due from the Lagni; nay more in the latter case since the qualities of not only the sign (typifying the house, viz., Lagna, 2nd, 3rd, etc.,) but also those of its lord should both be taken into consideration.

NOTES. By the word HH77H (Samagama) it may also be interpreted as referring to द्विग्रहयोग (Dwigrahayoga). Thus Sun conjunction Moon is as good as Sun conjunction Lagna, and so on. (Substitu. ting Lagna for the Moon.) The Moon conjunction Jupiter gives good wealth and good constitution. Now, according to this sloka, substituting the Lagna for the Moon, we get Lagna conjunction Jupiter. The native will have good constitution and much wealth only if the ruler of the Lagna in the one case and the ruler of the 2nd house in the other are also strong.

CHAPTER XIX

दृष्टिफलाध्यायः

This chapter deals with the effects of planetary aspects. In the first three slokas are described in detail the effects due to the Moon in the several Rasis and at the same time aspected by each of the other six planets. In the next five slokas the author states the nature of the effects due to the Moon occupying the several other Vargas, viz., Hora, Drekkana, Navamsa, Dwadasamsa and Trimsamsa and at the sime time under the aspects of one or more of the other six planets. It is also mentioned that the effects of the Sun should be similarly computed when he is occupying any of the several positions above described and is aspected by the Moon and other planets. In the last sloka Varahamihira states when and under whit conditions the effects will prove good, mniddling, bad etc.

If at a birth, the Moon be in Virgo and be aspected by Mercury, the person will be a king. if by Jupiter, he will be the head of an army; if by Venus, he will be skilful in all matters; if by any of the other three malefics, viz , Saturn, the Sun and Mars he will live by serving women. The Moon in Libra if aspected by Mercury will make the person born a king; if by Jupiter, a man working in gold (gold-smith); if by Venus, a trader; if by the remaining planets, the person concerned will be (a butcher) wicked and cruel. If the Moon be in Scorpio and is aspected by Mercury and the other planets taken in order, the person born will be (1) a father of twins, (2) submissive, (3) a washerman, (4) defective of some limbs, (5) poor and (6) a king respectively.

Sloka 3 .- f, at the time of birth, the Moon occupies Dhanus and be aspected by Mercury, the person concerned will protect his kinsman; aspected by Jupiter, he will be a ruler of the earth; if by Venus he will be a support to many people; if the Moon in Dhanus be aspected by any of the malefics, viz., Saturn, the Sun and Mars, the person will be very arrogant and a rogue. If, at the time of birth, the Moon occupies Makara and is aspected by Mercury, the person will be a king; if by Jupiter, he will then also be a king; if by Venus, he will be learned; if by Saturn, he will be wealthy ; by the Sun, he will be poor; and if by Mars, he will be a king. If, at the time of birth, the Moon occupies sign Aquarius and is aspected by Mercury, the person con- cerned will be a king; If aspected by Jupiter, he will be almost equal to a king; if by Venus or any of the maleflcs, viz., Saturn, the Sun and Mars, he will be addicted to other people's wives. If the Moon occupies Pisces at a person's birth and is aspected by Mercury, he will be clever in creating mirth; if aspected by Jupiter, he will be a king; if by Venus, he will be learned; and if aspected by any of the malefics, he will commit sinful actions.

Three of these latter happen to be the स्वक्षेत्र (Swakshetra) and उद्वक्षेत्र (Ucchchakshetra) of Mars and for the Moon in Leo happens to be the ruler of the 9th from it. That is why Mars is good in these four signs.

The Moon in opposition to Mercury in any place is good except Vrishabha. It is however not so good as the Moon in opposition to Jupiter for finance. The intellectual side is good. (3) Jupiter aspecting the Moon in Aries will make one equal to a king Taurus adored by people Gemini learned Cancer learned Leo wealthy Virgo leader of an army Libra working in gold Scorpio obedient Sagittarius a King Capricorn a King Aquarius almost equal to a King Pisces a King The Moon can be aspected by Jupiter only when the Moon is trine or in opposition to Jupiter and not when the Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter. Politicians or statesmen are born if the Moon trine Jupiter or Moon opposition Jupiter takes place when the Moon is in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn. It therefore follows that all leaders in any walk of life must have Moon.trine Jupiter or Moon-opposition-Jupiter. (4) Venus aspecting the Moon in Arics will porduce a person of good qualities Taurus Gemini a King a fearless person Cancer a King Leo a King Virgo one skilful in all matters Libra Scorpio a trader

Sagittarius a washerman a supporter of many Capricorn a learned person Aquarius one fond of women, not his own Pisces a Learned man 47

370 बृहजातके [ CH. XIX

Venus opposition is thus not generally bad. (5) Saturn aspecting the Moon in Aries makes one a thief Taurus wealthy Gemini a weaver Cancer a dealer in iron Leo a barber Virgo a servant under a woman Libra wicked and cruel Scorpio defective of some limb Sagittarius a fop Capricorn wealthy Aquarius addicted to other people's wives Pisces .. a sinner All aspects (whether 3rd, 10th or 7th) of Saturn to the Moon are bad except when the Moon is in Taurus and Capricorn. We have already stated in Chapter XIV that Moon conjunction Saturn is bad. (6) The Sun aspecting the Moon in Aries will make one poor Taurus a servant Gemini poor Cancer suffer from eye complaint Leo a Kıng Virgo take service under a woman Libra a rogue Scorpio poor Sagittarius a fop Capricorn poor Aquarius vicious and immoral Pisces a sinner All opposition of the Sun to the Moon is bad except when \the Moon is in Leo; the Sun will then be in Aquarius and aspecting his own house. What is true of the Moon is also true of the Lagna according to Sloka 20 of the previous Chapter.

SL. 4] एकोन विंशोऽध्यायः 371

All squares or oppositions between the Moon and any malefic is bad. Similarly all squares and oppositions between the Lagna and any malefic is bad Similarly conjunction of malefics with the Moon or the Lagnn is bad except Sun conjunction Moon. All conjunctions between malefics are bad. (Cf. Chapter XIV, as also Western Astrologers.)

Sloka 4 .- The Moon in any hora if aspected by planets occupying also the same hora is productive of good results. The Moon in any decanate if aspected by the lord of that decanate (or by the lords of the Navamsa, Dwadasamsa, or Trimsamsa occupied by the Moon) or by planets in their friendly signs is declared as good. Whatever has been declared as resulting from the Moon in the several signs being aspected by the several planets should be recognised as applying in the case of the Dwadasamsas also- Hereafter will be described the effects of the Moon from its occupation of the several Navamsas aspected by the several planets from the Sun onwards NOTES. If the Moon be in the Sun's hora, the planets aspecting must also be in the Sun's hora to increase the immensity of the yogas good or bad as the case may be. The same holds good if the Moon be in Lunar hora and the aspecting planets are like- wise in Lunar hora. If the Moon be aspected by malefics causing a bad yoga, it will be still worse. For a malefic yoga, if it is in

372 बृहजातके [CH. XIX

operative opposition, it will be worse; if otherwise, the inten. sity will be less. The same rule holds good for Decanates. Therefore Vara- hamihira wants to confine the aspects of planets from 15° (होरा-Hora) to within 10° (ट्रेक्काण-Drekkna). If the ruler of the decanate occupied by the Moon be a friendly planet to the Moon and be a benefic, such an aspect is good. This can only happen if the Moon occupie" decanates of Mercury, Venus or Jupiter. Dwadasamsas take up the (phalas) effects of the Rasis to which they belong in regard to the Moon.

Sloka 5 .- If, at a person's birth, the Moon occupy a Navamsa of Mars and be aspected by the Sun, the person will be a watchman of a city ; if the Moon in the above position be aspected by Mars, he will be fond of killing; if by Mercury, he will be skilled in close fighting; if by Jupiter, he will be a king; if by Venus,

If, at the time of birth, the Moon be in a Navamsa of Venus and be aspected by the Sun, the person concerned will be a fool; if by Mars, he will be addicted to other people's wives; if by Mercury, he will be a good poet; if by Jupiter. he will be the author of good literary works; if by Venus, he will be intent on having all comforts; and if by Saturn, he will unite with other people's wives.

NOTES It may be mentioned here that the planets aspecting are in Rasis and not in Navamsas. It is only the Navamsa of the Moon that should be taken into consideration and not that of the aspecting planet. गुणाकर :- शीतदुतौ वकनवांशयाते विलोकिते तिग्मकरादिभि: स्यात्। कुरक्षको हिंस्रनियुद्धदक्षो भूपो धनाळ्य: कलहप्रियश्च ॥ मृर्खाऽन्यस्त्रीरतः शौक्रे काव्यवित्सुकविः सुखी। अन्यनारीरतश्चन्द्रे सूर्यादिभिरिहोच्यते ।।

Sloka 8 .- If, at the time of birth, the Moon should occupy a Navamsa of Saturn and be aspected by the Sun, the person concerned will have a very limited number of children; if by Mars, he will lead a miser- able life even though wealthy ; If by Mercury, he will be haughty; if by Jupiter, he will be devoted to his duty; if by Venus, he will be fond of wicked women; and if by Saturn, he will be a niggard. In the same manner should be predicted the effects resulting from the Sun in the several Navamsas being aspected by the Moon and other planets.

NOTES Substitute the Sun for the Moon in the above slokas of this chapter and read the eifects accordingly. Just as we said Moon-square.opposition-or.trine any planet is bad, bad, or good, etc., we have to say Sun-square-opposition- or-trine any planet is bad, bad, or good. For example, we said Moon trine Jnpiter or opposition Jupiter is good. Substituting the Sun for the Moon, we read Sun trine Jupiter or opposition Jupiter and the effects as if for Moon-trine Jupiter or opposition Jupiter. Substitute Cancer for Leo and Leo for Cancer in Navamsa in Slokas 5, 6 and 7. Varahamihira considers the effects applying to the Moon as equally applying to the Sun and the Lagna.

Sloka 9 .- The good effects described above will be full, middling and little, according as the Moon occupies a Vargottomamsa, his own Navamsa or the- Navamsa of another planet. In the case of bad effects, it will be the reverse. Again, if the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the Moon be strong, the

SL. yJ

effects described for the Moon in the several signs and aspected by the sever.il planets will be nullified, and only those effects due to the Moon's occupying the particular Navamsa subject to the particular planetary aspect will come to pass.

NOTES. The aspect of benefics upon the Moon when she is in (1) a Vargottamamsa will prove very good (2) her own Navamsa, ordinary and (3) another's Navamsa, very very ordinary. In the case of bad effects (caused by the aspect of malefic planets on the Moon), it will not be so bad when the Moon is in a Vargottamamsa; it will be worse when the Moon is in her own Navamsa and worst when she is in another's Navamsa. The effects good or bad as described in the slokas above will be felt only if the lord of the Moon's Navamsa Rasi is strong. Otherwise, the Rasi phalas only will take effect. That is, the effects described for the Moon's Navamsa being aspected by the several planets will not occur unless the ruler of the Moon's Navamsa is strong. In such a case the Rasi phalams alone should be considered. We can even here suhstitute the Sun or the Lagna for the Moon.

Sloka 1 .- If the Sun occupy the 1st house at a person's birth, he will be valiant, obstinate, will have defective eyes and be cruel-hearted. But if Aries be the Lagna and the Sun occupy it, the person born will earn himself, but will suffer from eye-disease. If the Sun be in Leo identical with the Lagna, the person concerned will be night-blind. If Libra be the Lagna and the Sun occupy it, the person born will be blind and poor as well. If the Lagna at birth be Cancer and the Sun occupy it, the person concerned will have inflamed eyes. If the Sun should occupy the 2nd house at a birth, the person concerned will be immensely rich but will be deprived of his wealth by a king and will suffer from diseases in the face.

NOTES. The Sun in Leo causes blindness at night. In Cancer, the Sun causes cataract in the eyes. The Sun in Libra causes blind -. ness. The Sun in the Lagna causes some defect in eyes. (Cf Western astrology.) In the 2nd house the Sun causes some defcot or other in the face or teeth. The yoga is bad for litigation exaept when he is well aspected.

If the Sun should occupy the 5th house from the Lagna, the person concerned will be childless and without wealth. It the Sun be in the 6th house, the person born will be power- ful but will be overpowered by his enemies.

Sloka 3 .- If the Sun should occupy the 7th house at a birth, the person concerned should suffer humili- ation at the hands of women. If he should be in the 8th house, the person born will have only a limited number of issues and will have a defective eye sight. tf, at the time of birth, the Sun should occupy the 9th the person concerned will be endowed with

children, wealth and happiness If he occupies the 10th house, the person will be happy and powerful. The . Sun in the 11th house will make the person born wealthy and if in the 12th house, the person will suffer degradation. NOTES. According to some astrologers the Sun is bad in the 9th house. The Sun in the 10th house gives maximum labour and minimum income. That is why Varahamihira has not used the word eref (Arttha) herc as he has done for the Sun in the 9th. The Sun in the 10th house is bad for finance because he is in square to Lagna. In the 11th he is good because he is sextile to the Lagna. In the 12th house he is bad.

Sloka 4 .- If at a person's birth the Moon happens to be in the lst house, the person concerned will be mute, insane, stupid, blind, base (or mean), deaf or servile. (This does not apply to births with the Moon in Aries, Taurus or Cancer.) If the Moon should occupy her own house identical with the Ascendant, the person born will be rich. If Aries takes the place of Cancer, the person concerned will have many children. If Taurus be the ascendant and the Moon occupy that sign. the person will be wealthy. If the Moon should occupy the 2nd house, the person born will be a man of large family. If the Moon be in the 3rd house, he will be cruel: if in the 4th, the person will be happy; if in the 5th house, he will have children; if in the 6th house, he will have many enemies, will have a delicate constitution and a dyspeptic appetite. His sexual passion will also be weak. He will be harsh in temperament and indolent in his work.

NOTES. From the foregoing two slokas it is seen that the Moon is generally bad in the Lagna even for eye-sight, except when the Lagna happens to be Aries, Taurus or Cancer. In the 2nd the Moon indicates that interests are mixed up with others. In the 3rd, 6th and 12th, it is bad. In the 4th and 5th, the Moon improves these houses. In the 7th she is not very good. In the 8th, the Moon makes the person sickly. In the 9th, 10th and 11th houses the Moon is very good.

Satyacharya says that benefics posited in any house generally promote the advancement or prosperity of that house while malefics in any house work only its decay. This is reversed in the case of the 6th, 8th and 12th ho uses.

NOTES. The following is the quotation from Satyacharya :- सौम्याः पुष्टिं पापास्तद्धानिं संश्रिता प्रहाः कुयुंः । मर्त्यादिषु निधनेऽन्त्ये षष्टे च विपर्ययात्फलदाः ॥ According to Satyacharya, the bhavas are generally advanced if good planets occupy them and reduced if bad ones should be in them. But in the case of the 6th, 8th and 12th bhavas the effects are reversed. That is malefic in the 6th, 8th and 12th houses bring on good fortune with minimum labour and maximum income. [Cf. western astrologers who, say that malefics in the 6th' (setting) or the 8th (set)-planets except in opposition (=7th)-are good for legacy, etc.] But Bhattotpala interprets this statement of Satyacharya thus : In the case of the 6th which signifies enemies, benefics. there will destroy cnemies while malefics will increase them. The 8th house is termed ya (Mrityu=Death). Good planets there will retard death, that is, lengthen life while bad ones will promote death, .e., bring about the same sooner. The 12th house is called (Vyava=expenditure). Good planets in this house will destroy expenditure, that is, promote thrift. while bad ones increase experditure.

The proportions given above are with respect to benefics. In the case of malefics we must reverse the effects. e.g. A benefic in exaltation gives very good results (i.c. full); in depression ' effect. A malefic in afry (Neecha) must give good effect and in t(Uchcha) good effect. This will be found to hold good for finance.

आश्रययोगाध्यायः

The eTe4 (Asraya) yogas treated of in this Chapter are not the same as those mentioned in the नाभसयोगाध्याय (Nabhasa Yoga Adhyaya-Ch. XII). The following आश्रय (Asraya) yogas bear resemblance to संखवा (Sankhya) yogas mentioned in the नाभसयोगाध्याय (Nabhasa Yoga Adhyaya). The tone of Varahamihira throughout the संख्या (Sankhya) Yogas was that planets situated in 7 houses are superior in effect to those situated in 6 houses, which in their turn are superior to planets posited in 5 houses and so on In other words, con- junctions of planets are not favoured. In the present chapter Varahamihir deals with special cases of those संख्या (Sankhya) yogas

Sloka 1 .- According as the number of planets occupying their own houses is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 at any birth, the person concerned will be (1) a member of average dignity of his family rank, (2) the chief member . f a family, (3) a man respected by all his relations, (4) a wealthy person, (5) a happy man, (6) a person enjoying all comforts or (7) a king

respectively. If at a birth there be a planet occupying a friendly house, the person concerned will be fed at another's cost, if there be two such planets, he will live upon his friend's bounty; if there be three such. the person will be protected by his kinsmen; if four, by his relations (brothers and cousins); if five, he will be the leader of a group; if six, he will be the leader of an army; and lastly, if seven, he will be a king.

NOTES. If seven planets are in friendly houses [तात्कालिक (Tatkalika) and fran (Nisarga) combined] the native will become a king. The following chart on the left seems to be the only possibility Cf. (Parallel aspect of Western astrology).

Such a planet though singly will make the person immensely wealthy if he be also associated . with another friendly planet. But when planets are in inimical or depression signs, the person born under the inauspicious yoga, are (1) without wealth, (2) without comfort, (3) without intellect, (4) sickly, (5) afflicted with captivity, (6) involved in murders and (7) other equally wicked crimes (succes- sively as the number of the badly placed planets rise gradually from 1 to 7).

natural friendship निसर्गमैत्रत्व (Nisarga maitratva) that is meant and not the तातकालिक (Tatkalika). First half. -The interpretation given above is what has been given by Bhattotpala, and in the face of it appears as most unlikely. For from a reference to XIX.I, it will be seen that the Moon in Taurus aspected by the Sun, Mars and Mercury produce no good effects; vide also XIII-I. The word gern: (Uchchagaha) has been translated in the text as "occupying his highest exaltation point." Cf. जातकपारि- जात-एकरिमन् परमोच्चगेऽतिसुहृद। दृष्टे यदि क्ष्मापतिः May not the word मित्र (Mitra) in मिन्रहष्टः (Mitradrishtaha) mean the Sun ? By the word gan: (Uchchagaha) Varahamihira appears to imply Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. Mercury and Venus are not taken into consideration as these can never come in opposition to be aspected by the Sun. This yoga is possible in the following way :- (1) Mars in Makara and the Sun in Kataka. (2) Jupiter in Kataka and the Sun in Makara, (3) Saturn in Tula and the Sun in Mesha. The Sun thus in opposition to any one of these three planets in exaltation together with a friendly planet makes the native wealthy as well besides a q (Nripa a king or leader of men). It is only such rich people that suffer from very longstanding diseases such as diabetes, pleurisy, etc., (XXIII-7-9 infra.) गुणाकर :- एकोऽपि तुङ्गगृहग: सुहृदीक्षितश्चे- द्भूपं करोति धनिनं सुहदा समेतः । नीचारिभैक चयतो विधनोऽतिदुःखी मूढः सरुगदुरितबन्धवधाभिवप्ः।।

Sloka 3 .- Satyacharya says "Sign Aquarius as Ascendant is not auspicious." Yavanas immediately contradict the same by saying "No, no, Satya is not correct; it is only the Dwadasamsas owned by the sign Aquarius that are bad in all Rasis." Vishnugupta at once asks "Which sign has not got such a sub-division as Kumbha Dwadasamsa ? " The remarks are not there- fore warranted.

NOTES. The following is the quotation from सत्य (Satya) :- जन्मनि चन्द्रः श्रेष्ठः प्रवदेद्धोरारिनिधनवर्ज्यः स्यात्। होरा च भवेदिष्टा द्विपदेष्विह कुंभवर्ज्य हि।। कुंभविलमे जातो भवति नरो दुःखशोकसंतप्तः ॥ The Yavanas did not accept the above but were of opinion that it is only the Kumbha Dwadasamsas (in all lagnas) that are bad. This view has been supported by Srutakirti, who says: सर्वस्मँल्लमगते कुंभद्विर सांशको यदा भवति। राशौ न तदा सुखितः परान्नभोजी भवेत्पुरुषः ॥। This is again opposed by Vishungupta; for, he says :- कुंभद्वादशभागो लग्नगतो न प्रशस्यते यवनैः । यद्येवं सर्वेषां लग्नगतानामनिष्टफलता स्यात्।। घटयोगाद्राशीनां न मतं तत्सर्वशास्त्रकाराणाम्। तस्मारकुंभविरलओो जन्मन्यशुभो न तद्गागः ।। Satyacharya has been mentioned prominently here, unlike elsewhere, because Varahamihira does not agree with his views. Nor does he appear to agree with Vishnugupta in thinking that the above views of Yavana are incorrect and that it is only the Kumbha Lagna in a birth that is bad and not the Kumbha

CHAPTER XXIII

अनिष्टाध्यायः

This chapter deals with erfag (Anishta) or malefic yogas. The first sloka gives a clue to ascertain when a person will be wifeless and sonless. In the next sloka are mentioned three yogas which lead to the loss of the wife during the lifetime of the husband. The third sloka gives two yogas, under the first of which the person born is one_eyed and becomes mated with an one-eyed wife; under the second the person born has a wife defective in some limb. The fourth and fifth slokas mention some yogas under which a person becomes bereft of wife and children or comes in possession of a barren wife or has intrigues with other women. In the sixth sloka are described certain yogas leading to family extinction, and yogas under which a person is born as the son of a maid servant, or does base acts. The next three slokas refer to yogas leading to various kinds of diseases such as paralysis, rheumatism, pleurisy, tubercnlosis, bronchitis, .etc. In slokas 10-13 are mentioned certain yogas producing blindness; ear complaint, unsightly teeth, trouble with goblins, windy complaints and epileptic fits. Yogas leading to other deformities such as irregular teeth, bald hcadedness, weak sight, etc., and accidents leading to loss of limbs are referred to in the fifteenth sloka. The sixteenth sloka deals with yogas leading to a person's captivity and his imprisonment. Certain yogas leading to servitude and dependence are described in slokas 14 and 17.

लग्नात्पुत्र कलत्र मे शुभपतिप्राप्तेतथवालो किते चन्द्राद्वा यदि सम्पदस्ति हि तयोज्ेयोऽन्यथा संभवः । पाथोनोदयगे रवौ रविसुतो मीनस्थितो दारहा पुत्रस्थानगतश्च पुत्रमरणं पुत्रोऽ्वनेर्यच्छति ।।१।।

Sloka 1 .- A person can have prosperity (sons, wife, etc.), acccrding as the 5th or the 7th house calculated from the Lagna or the Moon at the time of his birth is occupied or aspected by a benefic planet or by its lord ; if otherwise, he can have no son or wife. If, when the Sun occupies Virgo identical with the rising sign, Saturn is in Pisces, the latter planet will cause the death of his wife. And Mars in the 5th house in the pervious yoga brings about the death of the son.

NOTES.

If the ruler of the 9th house is placed in the 5th or the 7th bhava from the Lagna, it will bring all kinds of prosperity. The same holds good for the Moon. This is one interpretation. Here TH (Subha) is taken to mean the 9th house. Second interpretation. If Jupiter, the Master of Benefics (शुभानां पतिः Subhanam patihi) is placed in the 5th or the 7th house from the Lagna or the Moon, the yoga causes also every kind of prosperity. Third interpretation. If planets ruling the ggrra: (Ishta- stthanas, viz., places other than the 3rd, the 6th, the 8th and the 12th) be placed in the 5th and 7th houses from the Lagna or the Moon, then also prosperity is indicated. Fourth interpretatior. If the ruler of the house occupied by Venus be placed in the 5th or 7th bhava from the Lagna or the Moon it leads to prosperity. Here anrqfa (Subhapati) is split up into (Su)=am (Sukra), (Bha)-TIfr (Rasi) and qf (Pati).

412 बृहजातके [CH. XXHI

Another view. if the ruler or nakshatra occupied by Venus be placed in the 5th or the 7th [from the Lagna or the Moon, then also prosperity is indicated. (The rulers of Nakshatras are according to विशोत्तरी-Vimsottari System). In all the above interpretations, the planet or planets con- cerned may take the role of aspecting instead of occupying. In the absence of the above yoga, the man is sure to be unhappy. If Virgo is to rise with the Sun in it and Saturn be in Pisces, the native will kill many wives. If Virgo is to rise with Mars in in Capricorn, such a person will lose many sons who are born. It may however be asked " Why does Saturn in Pisces with the Sun in Virgo as Lagna kill wives ?" The answer is, Saturn, as ruler of the 6th, in the 7th and in opposition to the ruler of the 12th is bad. To be more explicit, the ruler of bad houses should not be in Subha Sthanas (ET ) or good houses. The Sun and Saturn in opposition will indicate more than one wife especially in dual signs. Mars in the 5th may be good for finance; but it is certainly bad for issues and will always kill children. Cf. सारावली- भौमः पञ्चमभवने जातं जातं विनाशयति पुत्रम् । दृष्टे गुरुणा प्रथमं सितेन न च सर्वसंदष्टः ।। Mars coming into the first portion of the 5th bhava will kill the first son; coming into the mibble portion, he will kill the middle son, and if he comes into the last portion, he will kill the later issues. Further, Mars will always kill children between the ages of 1 and 3 years, (Of. एकं द्वौनवाविशति: etc., Ch. VIII, sl. 9 supra. According to this principle, the Moon rules for the first year and Mars rules for the next two years. Therefore children will be killed within three years by Mars.

They are (1) औरस (Aurasa) a son born to a lawfully married wife; (2) क्षेत्रज (Kshetraja), one that is born to a wife through a brother or other kinsman of her husband duly appointed to raise up issue for him ; (3) (Datta), one that has been received as a gift from his natural parents for being adopted; (4) क्रीत (Kreeta), one that has been pur- chased for purpose of the continuance of the family; (5) faa (Kritrima), a grown.up son adopted without the consent of his natural parents; (6) अधमप्रभव (Adhamaprabhava), an ofispring born to a low.caste woman through a Brahmin; (7) गूढोत्पभ्न (Gudhotpanna), a son born secretly of a woman when her husband is absent, the real father being unknown; (8) अपविद् (Apaviddha), a son that is abandoned by the father or mother, or by both, and adopted by a stranger; (9) पौनर्भव (Paunarbhave), a son of a widow remarried ; (10) कानीन (Kaneena), the son of an unmarried woman; (11) सहोढ (Sahodha), the son of a woman pregnant at marriage; (12) दासीप्रभव (Dasiprabhava), the son of a female slave. The particular kind of son that one may get is thus described in Saravali. सुतभवन शुभयुक्तं शुभदृष्ट वा शुभक्षमिह येषाम्। तेषां प्रसवः पुंसां भवत्यवश्यं न विपरीते ।। एकतमे गुरुवर्गे शुभराशावौरसो भवेत्पुत्रः । लग्नाच्चन्द्रादथवा वलयोगाद्वीक्षितेऽपि वा सौम्यैः ॥ संख्या नवांशतुल्या सौम्यांशे तावती सदा दृष्टा। शुभटृष्टे तद्द्विगुणा ह्िष्ट पापांशकेऽ्थवा दष्टे।। सौरर्क्ष सौरगणो बुघटष्टो गुरुकुजार्कद्ग्धीनः । क्षेत्रजपुत्ं जनयति बौधोऽपि गणो रविजदष्टः ।। मान्दं सुवक्षमिन्दुर्निरीक्षिते यदि शनैश्चरेण युतम्। दृत्तकपुत्रोत्पत्तिः क्रीवश्च बुधस्य चैवं स्यात् ।।

If it be otherwise, there will be no issue. If the 5th house, counted either from the Lagna or the Moon whichever is stronger, happen to be a Varga of Jupiter and should also be a benefic sign or be aspected by benefic planets, the persor concerned will have an औरस (Aurasa) son. The number of sons that a person may have is that signified. by the numbr of benefic Navamsas that have clapsed in the 5th bhava. The number will be doubled if the bhava be also aspect-

SL, 11 415

ed by benefics. The number lost will be ascertained through the number of malefic Navamsas traversed, and the number will be doubled if the bhava be also aspected by malefics. Also Cf. G q. XIII-46, 47. If the 5th house belong to a Varga of Saturn and be aspect. ed by Mercury but not by Jupiter, Mars or the Sun, the person concerned will have a 57 (Kshetraja) son. The same will be the case if the house in question belong to a Varga of Mercury, be aspected by Saturn and be at the same time devoid of the aspect of Jupiter, Mars or the Sun. If Saturn should own the 5th house and also occupy it and if the Moon should aspect the said house, the person concerned will get a 74 (Datta) son. If Mercury should take the role of Saturn in the above yoga the native will get a ala (Kreeta) son. If the 5th house with Saturn in it be in the Saptamsa of Mars and be not be aspected by any of the remaining planets, the person concerned will get a afa# (Kritrima) son. If the 5th house be in a Varga of Saturn or be occupicd by the Sun, with the aspect of Mars on it, the son of the person concerned will be an eryuywa (Adhamaprabhava). If the Moon should occupy in the 5th house an amsa of Mars and be aspected by Saturn and not by any of the other planets, the son of the person concerned will be a narqa (Gudhotpanna). If Mars occupy the 5th house identical with the Varga of Saturn and be aspected by the Sun, the person concerned will get a son of the erniaa (Apaviddha) class; so declares sage Karuna. The son of a person will be a पौनर्भव (Pounai bhave) when, in his nativity, the Moon is the 5th house in a Varga of Saturn and in conjunction with that planet, and is also aspected by Venus and the Sun. If the 5th bhava be in the Shodasamsa of the Sun and be, occupied or aspccted by him, the son of the person concerned will be a rla (Kaneena). If the 5th house belong to a Varga of the Sun or the Moon and be aspected by the Moon or the Sun respectively and if the

416 बृहजातक CH. XXIII

bhava be at the same time aspected by Venus, the native will have a son of the सहोढ (Sahodha) class. If the 5th house being a malefic sign be occupied by three or more malefics in strength and has no benefic aspect on it, the person concerned will not have any son. If the 5th bhava happens to be in the Navamsa of Venus and has the aspect of that planet on it, the issues will be of the दासोप्रभत्न (DasipraLhava) class. Some say that thelsame should be predicted through the Moon also; i.e., when the 5th bhava is in the Navamsa of the Moon and is also aspected by that planet. If the 5th bh iva being in a Varga of Venus or the Moon be at the same time aspected or occupied by these planets, the issues will generallv be daughters The same will be the case if the sign representing the Varga in qnestion be even, otherwise, the issues will be all sons.

Sloka 2 .- If in a person's nativity the 4th and 8th houses reckoned from Venus be hoth occupied by malefics, the wife will die by a fire accident.

We say 32 years, because, Venus in the ahove yoga is afflicted and according to the नैसर्गिकदश। (Naisargika dasa) it is Venus that controls life till 32 years.

The Sun is in the 12th house from the Lagna in I and 12th from the 7th in II. The Moon is in the 12th from the 7th in I and 12th from the Lagna in II. The principle is clear from the above. The left eye will be affected by the above yoga. In the other case the Sun in the 2nd and the Moon in the 8th (the 2nd from the 7th) will affect the right eye. If Venus be in conjunction with the Sun in the 5th, 7th or 9th house from the Lagna, the wife will always be ailing. ( fa =suffering).

Sloka 5 .- If at a person's birth Venus occupy in the 7th house an amsa of Saturn or Mars and be aspected by any of those two planets, the person concerned will go with other people's wives. If Saturn and Mars occupy the 7th house in conjunction with the Moon, and Venus being in a Varga of Mars or Saturn be aspected by Mars or Saturn, the person will be an adulterer ani so also his wife. If Venus and the Moon be together in a house and Mars and Saturn occupy the 7th house from them, the person born will have neither

wife nor children. If a male planet and a female pfanet 'be together in one house and if Mars and Saturn occupy the 7th place from them and be subject to benefic aspect, the person concerned will marry at an advanced age a young damsel. NOTES. If Venus be in the house of Saturn or Mars and be afflicted by Saturn or Mars by opposition, the man will become immoral. [ वर्ग (Varga) means also house). If the Moon be in conjunction with Saturn or Mars in the above case, he will be immoral along with his wife. Another interpretation. If the Moon be in the house of Saturn or Mars receiving an opposition aspect from Saturn or Mars, the wife will be immoral. If both Venus and the Moon be in the house of Saturn or Mars and receive an opposition aspect of Saturn or Mars, then both man and wife will be immoral. If Venus and the Moon in conjunction in the 7th house be afflicted by Saturn and Mars, the man will not marry at all. If in the above case Mars and Saturn receive an aspect of a benefic (Jupiter alone is meant here), then the man will marry late in life a young woman and will not have issue.

Sloka 8 .-* If at a birth the Moon be posited between two malefics (Mars and Saturn) and the Sun occupy sign Capricorn, the person concerned will suffer from Pleurisy, Tuberculosis, Bronchitis, Scrofula, or Asthma (diseases of the chest). If the Sun and the Moon are placed in each other's houses or Navamsas the man suffers from Tuberculosis. If the Sun and the Moon in conjunction be in the same sign either in Leo or Cancer, he will have a longstanding disease and will be a weakling.

If the above said Moon be in conjunction with the Sun in Capricorn, the man will suffer from Asthma. A reference to the भावाध्याय (Bhava Adhya- ya(-Chapter XX and Chapter VI-will give a clue to this meaning.

Sloka 9 .- If at a person's birth the Moon be in the middle of (5th Navamsa of ) Sign Dhanus in conjunction with Mars and Saturn or be aspected by themn singly or conjointly, he becomes a leper. The same effect will happen if the Moon under the above conjunction or aspect occupy a Navamsa belonging to Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn or Aries.

NOTES. The man will suffer from ear-complaint with certainty. The 3rd and the 11th houses stand for ears - 3rd for the right ear and the 11th for the left. (Cf. also Western astrology). Varahamihira seems to extend the principle to the 5th and the 9th houses also. Diseases of teeth and ton,ue are indicated by the 7th house (Ch. V, 24, Fig. I). This is also the principle of Western Astrology. Cf. Alan Leo, " Malefics, unaspected by benefics, occupying the 7th kouse will bring about tooth diseases (deformity or otherwise) ". ouaT would include the Moon also in the yoga causing damage to the ear.

If it be the Moon, the native will be the son of a person placed in an ordinary position in service. If it be the Sun, then the father of the native will be in a low position in service. NOTES. The above yogas hold good if any of these three planets, viz., Sun, Moon and Jupiter, own the Rasi occupied by the Moon. This is supported by Western Astrologers. राश्यंशप (Rasyamsapa) may be split up into राशयप (Rasyapa) and अंशप (Amsapa). The Sun in the above case represents a dependent position for the father at the time of the birth of the native. The Moon in the above case makes the father start in life after the birth of the native. Jupiter indicates that the father of the native is in a prosperous condition at the time of birth itself. In the case of Sun in the above, we shall have to say that the father of the native has not yet entered life. The Commentator Bhattotpala has another interpretation : Consider how many out of the following planets, viz., (1) the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the Moon, (2) the Sun, (3) the Moon and (4) Jupiter, are occupying their depression or inimical Navamsas at a person's birth, If it be one, the person must be declard to be under the service of another for earning his livelihood; if there be two such planets, the person must have been bought by another for some money, and is therefore a sort of .slave to him; if there be 3 or all the four occupying depression or inimical Navamsas, he must be declared to be the son of a slave.

The kind of restraint employed will correspond to the nature of the rising sign. Again, if the rising decanate at a birth happen to be a Hd (Sarpa- serpent), निगल (Nigala-fetters) or आयुध (Ayudha-weapon) Drekkana, and if the sign owning the decanate be also aspected by mlefics, the person will suffer imprison- ment. NOTES. In the above translation, of the 4 houses, viz., 12th, 5th, 2nd and 9th, 5th and 2nd or the 12th and 9th may be considered as going together. If malefics occupy the 12th and the 9th (houses in the visible portion of the zodiac), the man's public reputation is affected by being imprisoned for a criminal offence. [The 9th house stands for character, reputation and honor.] If malefics are in the 2nd and the 5th houses, the credit will be affected by the man being imprisoned in a civil jail (probably for not paying a debt). The H9 (Sarpa) decanates are: the second and third Drekkanas of Kataka, the first and the second Drekkanas of Vris chika and the third Drekkana of Meena. The fanE (Nigala) decanate is the first Drekkana of Makara. The errIa (Ayudha) decanates are: the third Drekkana of Mithuna, the first and third Drekkanas of Dhanus and the third Drekkana of Makara. (Vide Chapter XXVII infra). There is however some diversity of opinion about these: The Drekkana swarupa ( ureg ) is thus described in जातकपारिजात (Jatakaparijata) :- कुलीर मीनालिगता टगाणा मध्यावसानप्रथमा भुजनाः। अलिद्वितीयो मृगलेयपूर्वः क्रमेण पाो निगलो सिद्मः ।।

St. 17] 487

According to बलभद्ू (Balabhadra), the first and second Drekkanas of Kataka, the first and second of Vrischika and the last of Meena are सर्प (Sarpa) Drekkanas: For he says- "कर्कस्य प्रथमद्वितीयौ वृश्चिकस्य प्रथमद्वितीयौ मीनस्थान्त्यश्र्ैते पक्र सपेद्रेक्क णा:". The latter half of the sloka in the text may also be inter- preted thus : If the afflicting planets be in g (Sarpa) decanates, the man undergoing imprisonment will be subjected to lead the life of inactivity; if in farna (Nigala) decanate, he will be in fetters; if in आयुध (Ayudha) decanates, he will. suffer from instruments (i.e., will suffer whipping, etc.). These yogas happen only at the time of progression (when the Moon has progressed). The positions of the planets at birth like the above show only a predisposition to have these effects.

Sloka 17 .- If the Moon be in conjunction with Saturn, the person concerned will be harsh in speech, (that may also mean that he is blunt). If the Moon in conjunction with Saturn be aspected by Mars, he will have epileptic fits and will speak fretfully or will stammer. If the Moon being in conjuinction with Saturn and aspected by Mars be also in qfaq /Pariveshi), the man finds it very difficult to speak, loses the faculty of memory and at the same time gradually wastes away. If the Sun, Saturn or Mars be placed in the 10th house from the Lagna and be unaspected by any benefic, the man will be in service. The Sun represents a high grade of service; Mars indicates middle position. Saturn indicates a situation of a very low order.

NOTES yaffre: (Purvoddishtaihi) has reference to the Sun, Saturn and Mars referred to above. All the three planets cause service. The degree is indicated as above, the Sun, giving help through superiors; Mars giving help through equals; and Saturn giving little or no help. पूर्वोहिषैः (Purvoddishtaihi) alsc refer to what has been said in Chapters I, II, V, VIII, X, XI and XII. The commentator Bhattotpala interprets पूर्वोद्िष्टैर्वराधममध्यमाः (Purvoddishtairvaradhamamadhyamaha) thus : If one out of the three planets (Sun, Mars and Saturn) be posited in the 10th house without a benefic aspect, the person will be honorable in service; if two of the said planets be in such a position, the person will be a servant of middle rank, and if all the three planets should occupy the 10th house and have no benefic aspect on them, the person concerned will be a servant of very low rank. गुणाकर :- दुरास्थोपरमारस्फुरित निघनोथ क्षयगद्ी जमन्देऽसृगदष्टे शशिनि परिवेषप्रणयिनि ।

CHAPTER XXIV

स्त्रीजातकाध्यायः

THE HOROSCOPES OF FEMALES.

The Science of stars has much to do with females as with males. It is therefore natural that this chapter should deal with the horoscopes of females. Every horoscope has to be viewed in two lights. They are, one by itself and the other by the light it throws upon the corresponding male horoscope. The fortunes of the male are so intertwined with his consort that it will not be too much to say that no male horoscope can correctly be understood without reference to the female, nor ean a female horoscope be understood independently of the male horoscope. In other words, the two horoscopes are always complementary rather than contradictory. They supplement one another.

There are sixteen slokas in this chapter. As they have been elaborately explained and commented upon in their proper places, no attempt need be made here to give a running summary of every sloka. What I have said in the above paragraph is explained by Sloka 1 which says " all those effects till now described in the case of a male horoscope which are suitable to females should be taken to be applicable to them alone and those effects in a female horoscope which are suitable to males should be applicable to their husbands."

SL. 1] 441

Sloka 2 and the five succeeding ones enable us to picture to our minds through the Jatakas, the personality of the Jatakees. " If the ascendent and the Moon are in even signs," says the 2nd sloka, " the woman born will be truly feminine in character. Sloka 3 says that when the Lagna or the Moon is in a sign belonging to Mars the female born in a Trimsamsa of Mars will be ill-behaved. The other slokas deal elaborately with several other characteristics of female horoscopes, the nature of the husband one will have, the yogas that lend to widowhood, her moral purity, children, longevity, etc The last sloka says that, when a malefic planet occupies the 7th house, the woman concerned will devote herself to asceticism. It may be pointed out that the yogas mentioned hitherto become applicable in connection with the time of marriage, the time of selecting a girl and the time of gift and the time when a query is made regarding her. The beginning of marriage in India was cotermi- nous with the dawn of history and ever since, the fortune of men have ever been bound up with their wives and vice versa. Even to-day the bond that ties the couple has been the wonder and despair of the world at large. It is this feature of Indian character, this chapter so elaborately explains.

यद्यत्फलं नरभवे क्षममङ्गनानां तत्तद्वदेत्पतिषु वा सकलं विधेयम् । तासां तु भर्तृमरणं निधने वपुस्तु लग्नेन्दुगं सुभगतास्तमये पतिक्र ॥१॥ 56

442 बृहजातके [ CH. XXI

Sloka 1 .- Of the effects that have been described till now in the case of mile horoscopes, all those that may be found (in female horoscopes) suitable to females should be declared as applicable to them alone; the rest should be ascribed to their husbands. The death of the husband is to be deduced through the 8th place (from the Ligna or the Moon whichever is strong). Matters relating to her appearance, beauty, etc., should be determined from the Lagna and the sign occupied by the Moon. It is from the 7th place (from the Lagna or the Moon whichever is stronger) that her welfare (happiness) and the (nature of the) husband should be ascertained. NOTES. The effects may be divided into 3 classes, viz., (1) those that havc to be applied to women, (2) those that concern men alone and (3) those that may be applied to both, Suppose for instance that there is चन्द्राधियोग (Chandradhiyoga, vide Chapter XIII 2 supra) in a woman's horoscope, while the same is absent in that of her husband. The native being a female, the effects described for the अधियोग (Adhiyoga) cannot be applied to her. In such a case, the effects of the yoga should be declared for her husband not with standing the absence of such a yoga in his horoscope. गुणाकर :- प्राहुस्तल्पं नरवनितयोर्जन्महोराविधिज्ञाः किन्तु स्त्रीणां फलमनुचितं तत्पतौ तत्प्रकल्पयम् । ्यूनाद्वाच्यो पतिसुभगते रन्ध्रभाद्गर्तृमृत्यु-

The good and the evil affecting their person should be calculated from the Moon and the Lagna whichever of them is stronger. It is from the 7th place form the Lagna or the Moon that all that is worthy or unworthy in the husbands should be acertained and the death of the husbands is foretold through the 8th bhava (from the Lagna or the Moon), All this should be well weighed by the strength or weakness of the planets, benefic and malefic, before an announcement is made. स्त्रीणं जन्मनि लग्नशीतकरयोर्मध्ये बलीयस््वतः संपद्रूपबलानि तन्नवमतः पुत्रायवृद्धिं वदेत्।

Children and wealth in abundance should be declared through the 9th bhava therefrom. Wedded happiness or otherwise should be gathered from the 8th bhava; husband's fortune from the 7th. Some astrologers opine that the well-being or the reverse of the husband can be determined from thc 9th bhava. वैधव्यं निधनेन लगनभवनात्तेजोयश्ञःसंपद्: पुत्रं पख्चमभावतः पतिसुखं कामेन केचिद्विदुः । प्रव्रज्यामपि योषितामतिसुखं धमोपयातप्रहै: शेषं भावजयोगजन्यमखिलं नारीनराणां समम् ॥ Some hold that widowhood is found out through the 8th bhava; beauty, fame and fortune through the Lagna; the son through the 5th: wedded happiness with the husband through the 7th; asceticism as well as the exceeding tranquillity of women through the planets occupying the 9th bhava. All else whether due to the bhavas or yogas are the same in regard to both men and women.

When the rising sign or the sign occupied by the Moon is owned by Jupiter, the female born in a Trimsamsa of Mars will be endowed with many good qualities; if she is born in a Trimsamsa of Saturn, she will not indulge much in sexual intercourse; if born in a Trim- samsa of Jupiter, she will have many good qualities if in that of Mercury, she will have proficiency in worldly knowledge; and if in that of Venus, she will be chaste. When the Ascendant or the sign occupied by the Moon belongs to Saturn, the female born in a Trimsamsa of Mars will be a maid servant; if her birth be in a Trimsamsa of Saturn, she will be addicted to a man of low caste; if in that of Jupiter. she will be devoted to her husband; if in Mercury's, she will be wicked; and lastly if in a Trimsamsa of Venus, she will be barren. NOTES. Bhattotpala splits the words विज्ञानयुकासती (Vignanayukta- sati) into विज्ञानयुक्त्ता (Vignanayukta) and असती (Asati), meaning thereby that a woman will be unchaste if, when her Lagna or Moon's Rasi is owned by Jupiter, she is born in a Trsmsamsa of Venus. There docs not appear to be any good authority to warrant this. My interpretation is supported by the following quotation from RTAR- जीवर्से भौमांसे कन्या परिचारिणी सुविरयाता। सौरांशे तु दरीद्रा कन्याजननी स्वतन्त्रनिरता स्यात ।। 57

When the 7th house is a movable sign, the husband will always be away from home. If the Sun aspected by a malefic planet occupy the 7th house, the woman concerned is abandoned (by the husband). If Mars be in the 7th and be aspected by a malefic, she becomes a widow while young. If Saturn should occupy the 7th aspected by a malefic planet, she lives to an old age remaining unmarried.

When the rising sign belongs to Saturn and is strong, the female born in a Trimsamsa of Mars will be distressed; if her birth be in a Trimsamsa of Saturn, she will be disliked by her husband; if in that of Jupiter, she will strictly adhere to the customs or usage of her family ; if in Mercury's she will know all things but unchaste; if in a Trimsamsa of Venus, she will be barren and profligate; the effects due to Trimsamsa should be announced after correctly weighing the influence of the Lagna and the Moon.

NOTES. Slokas 17 and 19 of Chapter I will enable us to find the strength of the Lagna. To find out if the Moon is strong, refer to Chapter II-20.

Sloka 7 .- If at a woman's birth the rising sign be that of Venus and the rising Navamsa be owned by Aquarius and if Venus and Saturn are eithcr in exact opposition (each aspecting the other) or are occupying each other's Navamsa, she will be afflicted with too much lust and will allay her ( fire of ) pission with the help of other temales acting the part of a male. NOTES. ti7e (Driksamsttha) means 'placed in exact opposition' for then only they can mutually aspect each other. Sani and Sukra placed in exact opposition one of them occupying a sign owned by Venus may aspect the other (by 7th house aspect). With Vrishabha or Tula as Lagna and Kumbha Navamsa rising, Varahamihira describes two yogas, viz., (1) Venus and Saturn in exact opposition and (2) Venus and Saturn in each other's Navamsas. Bhottotpala would have the two yogas thus: (1) Saturn and Venus occupying each other's amsas and at the same time mutually aspecting; (2) Lagna being a sign owned by Venus and the Navamsa of Kumbha rising. In the first yoga if Saturn and Venus should occupy each the other's Navamsa, they cannot have mutual aspect as exact opposition is not possible. In the second yoga, the data given, viz., a sign of Venus as Lagna with Kumbha Navamsa rising, do not appear to be enough to warrant the resulting effect described in the sloka. गुणाकर :- सवितृसुतसितौ स्तोऽन्योन्यभागं प्रयातौ यदि यदि भृगुराशी लम्नगे कुंभभागे। नरचरितरताभि: पद्मलाक्षीभिरषै: शमयति मद्नामिं योगयुग्मेन योषा ।। Also सागवली- शुकासितौ यदि परस्परभागसंस्थौ शौके च दृष्टिपथगावुद्ये घटांशे।

Sloka 10 .- When a sign of Saturn or Mars is the Lagna and the Moon or Venus (according as the birth is by night or day) aspected by a malefic planet occupies it, the female born in the yoga will lead an unchaste life with the mother; when the setting Navamsa belongs to Mars and is aspected by Saturn, she will have a diseased womb; if the Navamsa under reference belongs to a benefic planet, she will have handsome hips and be much liked by her husband.

NOTES. Mother is indicated by Venus in day-births and by the Moon in night.births (Chapter IV-5 infra). Lagna must be one of Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius; Venus or the Moon as the case may be should occupy the Lagna and be aspected by a malefic planet. The female owning this nativity becomes immo. ral along with the mother. If a Navamsa of Mars be setting and be aspected by Saturn, she suffers from diseased organs. If the Descendant be in a grg eraisr (Subhagrahanavamsa) or be occu- pied by benefics, or the ruler is aspected by benefics or in sprier (Subhamsa), she is loved by her husband. The firat qrg (Pada) of the sloka has been interpreted by Bhattotpala thus; " When a sign of Saturn or Mars is the Lagna

CHAPTER XXV

नैर्याणिकाध्यायः

This Adhyaya deals with the native's exit from the world. It enables the reader to correctly guess the time when,;the place where, and the manner how, death happens. From the first eleven slokas oné is also able to fairly divine the particular disease which the native suffers from and which culminates in death. Unnatural deaths-by drowning, by being a prey to wild beasts, by fire, torture, suicide by hanging or falling, decapitation owing to royal displeasure-can also be ascertained. The 12th sloka gives a clue to determine the period of unconsciousness one may have before death. The next sloka deals with the kind of transform- ation the body undergoes after death-whether it is burnt or buried or exposed to the Sun and wind to be eaten by beasts and vultures, etc. The last two slokas enable one to find out what his past birth was and what his future birth will be, whether he will attain final emancipation, etc.

thereto becomes inflamed in that part of the body which the Rasi of the 8th house represents, and death is thereby produced. When there are several strong planets aspecting the 8th house, the humours peculiar to them become morbid and produce death. But if that house be occupied, and the occupying planet be the Sun, death will be due to fire; if the Moon, it will be by water; if Mars, by a weapon; if Mercury, by fever; if Jupiter., by an ailment not accurately ascertained; if Venus, by thirst ; and if Saturn, by hunger. And according as the 8th house is a movable, fixed or a mutable sign, death will be in a foreign place, in one's own house, or on the road. NOTES. The Sun = bile. The Moon = wind and phlegm. Mars= bile. Mercury = bile, wind and phlegm. Jupiter = phlegm. Venus =wind and phlegm. Saturn = wind. If planets are not posited in the 8th house or are not aspect. ing it, the 8th house causes diseases as above according to the nature of the ruler of that house. If planets aspect the 8th house or if planets occupy the 8th house, they cause the diseases (the strongest of the planets acting best) in those parts of the body typified by the sign representing the 8th house. The Sun represents fire; therfore, it will be by fever, etc. The Moon represents watery diseases such aa loose motions, diarrhoea, dysentery, blood impuritios, etc. Mars will cause accidental deaths, epidemics as cholera, plague, etc. Mercury will produce fever of brain or smaltpox. Jupiter will came mental worry, erisome unknown diseases, Vonus will cause thirst by excessive . 1 ki, and Saturn, by starvation, or excessive cating. If two or

SL. 2]

more powerful planets aspect or occupy the 8th house, then two or more diseases afflict the man. If the 8th house happens to be a movable sign, the native will die in a foreign place. If it be an immovable one, he will die in his own place, and if common, very near his birth place. If the planet be powerful, there will be death when engaged in good work; if it be weak, then when he is engaged in bad or indifferent work.

. Sloka 2 .- When the Sun and Mars occupy respectively the 10th and the 4th house at a person's birth, his death will be caused by the fall of a stone from the top of a mountain. When Saturn, the Moon and Mars are in the 4th, the 7th and the 10th houses respectively, he will die by falling into a well. When the Sun and the Moon are in Virgo and are aspected by malefic planets, death should be traced to the evil deeds of his own relations; (or he may commit suicide owing to differences with them). If the rising sign be a dual Rasi, and the Sun and the Moon occupy it, he wlll perish by being drowned in water.

NOTES Varahamihira here talks of accidental deaths. If the yogas mentioned in this and the succeeding slokas are found to be applicable in any horoscope, the effects mentioned in the first sloka need not then be applied. In the first yoga, it is not necessary that Mars and the Sun should respectively occupy the 4th and the 10th houses; they may occupy any of the houses either singly or together.

Sloka 3-When Saturn occupies Cancer and the Moon Capricorn at the birth of a person, his death will be caused by dropsy. If the Moon be in a sign of Mars between two malefic planets, he will die by a weapon or by fire (or he will die of tetanus or by shortage of blood). When the Moon occupies the same position in Virgo death will be due to vitiated blood or emaciation. If the Moon be in a sign owned by Saturn in the same position, his death will be by a cord (by hanging), by an accident near fire or by a fall (from a high place).

Sloka 4 .- When two malefic planets occupy the 5th and 9th houses and are not aspected by benefic planets at a person's birth, his death will be in captivity. When the decanate of the 8th house is what is termed सर्प (Sarpa), पाश (Pasa) or निगड (Nigada), the death will be the same as before. When the Moon is in Virgo occupying the 7th house in conjunction with a malefic planet, Venus in Aries and the Sun in the rising sign, the person concerned will come by his death in his own house through a woman.

NOTES. Sloka 16 of Chapter XXIII and 6 of Chapter XXI deal with the yogas of imprisonment. If in the above yogas, there be a strong malefic in the 5th or 9th, such planet causes death to the person while so imprisoned, provided the malefic planet is not aspected by benefics. If the 22nd decanate (the first decanate of the 8th house) be सर्प (Sarpa) पाश (Pasa) or निगड़ (Nigada), death will be painful. This refers to the above yoga. If the Moon be in Virgo and in the 7th house in conjunction with a malefic and if the Sun be in the Lagna and Venus in Aries, death is due or can be traced to his wife or woman or lady-love either by being poisoned by her or himself committing suicied on account of her bad conduct, etc.

It may be interesting te note here that of ailthe zodiacal signs Virgo (an Kanya) alone has been prominently men- tioned in Sloka 2, 3 and 4 in the 3rd q,a (Pada) of cach sloka

If the three malefic planets named above simultaneously occupy the first, the 5th and the 9th houses in conjunction with the waning Moon, death will be by impalement. If the Sun be in the 4th house, and Mars be in the 10th and aspected by the waning Moon, the same death will befall the person .. If in the yoga last mentioned, Mars be aspected by Saturn instead of by the waning Moon, the person will die from the effects 60

If Mars be in Tula, Saturn in Mesha and the Moon in Makara or Kumbha, the man will die uncared for after badly purging. This yoga arises by the planets being in the Rasis. If weak Moon, the Sun and Mars are placed in the 10th, the 7th and the 4th respectively, the man will die under similar -conditions.

Sloka 11-(Where the foregoing tests do not apply), the cause of death is declared to be the 22nd deeanate from that of the Lagna. The lord of this 22nd decanate or of the sign containing it produces death according to its characteristics.

NOTES.

In the absence of the yogas mentioned in Slokas 2 to 10, we have to apply this principle and not otherwsie. The 22nd decanate from the Lagna drekkana causes the disease according to the nature of the ruler of that decanate with certainty. If the ruler of the 22nd decanate be the Sun, he causes fever as stated in Sloka 1. Similarly in the case of the other planets mentioned therein. The ruler of the 8th house modifies the influence of the 22nd decanate, This is implied in भवोऽपिवा (Bhavopiva). Take for examnple-Lagna Aries.25°. The 22nd decanate is the 3rd decanate of Scorpio which is ruled by the Moon. The ruler of the 8th house is Mars. Therefore death is accidental, unexpected or short because it is Mais. The Moon gives water discases and as Mars modifies the Moon to a certain degree, we may say death will be due to loose bowels, urinal complaints (sudden stoppage of urine, etc). गुण, कर :- मृतेर्निमित्तं मुनिभिर्द्गण: शरीरिण माकृति संज्ञ उक्ः । तदीश्वरो वा मृति भेश्वरो वा निर्याणमात्मीयगुणैर्ददाति।। Also सारावली- उदय/द्द्वाविशतिमद्रेक्काणो भवति कारणं मृत्योः । तस्याधिपतिभवो वा निर्याण सूचयेत् स्व्रगुणैः।। For the cause of death due to each of the 36 Drekkanas happening to be the 22nd Decanate, the following slokas from the same work will be found to be usoful :- मेष,धे द्रेक्काणे क्रूरग्रह्दवीक्षिते च संयुक्ते। अग्व्वहितिरघपित्तृत मरणे नृर्णां समादेश्यम्।।

Sloka 12 .- From all this we have to determine generally this निर्याण (Niryana) or exit from the world as occurring at a place whose surroundings will be indi- cated by the planet occupying the Lagna or by the planet ruling the rising Navamsa as also by those that are in conjunction with or aspecting these. The unconscious state at the time of death lasts for such time as is measured by the rising period of the portion of the Lagna below the horizon. This period becomes doubled when the rising sign is aspected by its lord. and trebled when aspected by benefic planets generally.

SL. 12] पञ्विशयोऽष्यायः 488

NOTES.

Bhattotpala interprets the first half of the sloka thus - The exit from the world will occur at a place appropriate to the Rasi occupied by the lord of the rising Navamsa, with such circums- tances as are the result of occupation or aspecting by planets of the 8th house or the absence of both (Vide Sloka 1 and 11) and states that the following are the places appropriate to the several signs: Aries, Place frequented by sheep. Taurus, Place frequent- ed by oxen, Gemini, a house, Cancer, a well. Leo-a forest; Virgo-a water-bank; Libra-a bazar; Scorpio-a hole; Sagittarius-a place frequented by horses; Capricorn-watery tracts; Aquarius-a house and Pisces-watery places. But the above does not seem to be the correct view. The following view which is advocated by Varahamihira in Chapter II sloka 12 seems to be the correct one: The Sun-temples; the Moon-a fertile place (green all round) ; Mars-operation theatres, kitchens, store houses, factory, etc., Mercury-play- grounds; Jupiter-treasury rooms; Venus-well.furnished rooms; Saturn-dirty places. The place of death and surroundings will be indicated by the planet in the Lagna or the one ruling its rising Navamsa. If there be no planet in the Lagna, the ruler of the sign occupied by the planet owning the Lagna or the rising Navamsa will depict the surroundings of the place of death. If any planets aspect or occupy the house where the ruler of the Lagna or its Navamsa is situated, they also indicate the place of death in addition to what has been stated above. Suppose for example, the Moon indicates the place of death according to the above principle and together with it Saturn as per last principle. We have therefore to say that death takes place at a spot where it is green (Moon) but dirty (Saturn). The period of unconsciousness will be the time taken for the portion of the rising sign below the horizon to rise. If the rising "ign be aspected by its lord, the period is doubled. If aspected by a benefic, it is trebled, If by two benefics, 6 times and so on. Malefics aspecting.the rising sign will not deprive consciousness,

484 सहजातके [ CH. XXV

The oblique ascension of the remaining portion of the sign rising on the Lagna corresponds to the time taken by it to rise in the East. Take an example, Aries 25° is rising. The remianing portion is 5°. The time taken for 25° of Arise to rise in the East will be 20 minutes generally (calculating at 2 hours for the whole sign of Aries to rise). The period of unconsciousness undergoes multiplication twice or thrice, etc., because of the ruler and a benefic throwing their aspect on the Lagna. The multiplication should be done once only. Suppose the Lagna is being aspected by its lord. You have to multiply the period by 2. At the same time, say, a benefic is also aspecting the Lagna. By the rule above, the period is to be multiplied by 3. By natural process, the period will thus have to be multiplied by 2x3. This is not so. It will be enough if it is multiplied once by 5 (3+2).

Sloka 13 .- According as the decanate of the 8th bhava (i e., the 22nd from the Lagna) turns out to be a fiery, a watery or a mixed one, there is a transformation of the dead body by its being turned into ashes, or being thoroughly wetted and softened in water, or being dried up by exposure to the Sun and wind. If the decanate of the 8th house happens to be a न्याल्द्रेक्काण (Vyaladrekkana), the body is eaten by beasts and birds of prey, is assimilated into their bodies and thrown out as excerment. Thus, the final stage of the dead body has to be thought out in the manner stated above. The following is the essence of what has been culled from higher works (such as अयोतिषकर्मविपाक-Jyotisha Karma Vipaka) regarding past and future life.

Planets placed in the 7th will indicate also future birth. Exceptions .- Exalted Jupiter in the 6th, the 8th or in a Kendra position will make the native attain bliss. If Pisces be rising in a Navamsa of a benefic, it leads to bliss. In the above two exceptions, the other planets must not be powerful as Jupiter. (N.B .- Bliss मोक्ष Moksha) is higher than देवलोक (Devaloka) This is clearly hinted by Varahamihira talking of Moksha (taT ) as distinct and quite apart from the slokas containing वेवलोक (Devaloka), पितृलोक (Pitruloka), etc.

CHAPTER XXVI

नष्टजातकाध्याय:

This Chapter consists of 17 stanzas laying down rules for the recording of horoscopes of persons the time of whose birth is not known. The several stanzas describe the process of fixing the positions of the several planets as they should have been at the time of birth of any individual and of deducing therefrom the year, the ea (Ayana) or half year, the na (Ritu) or one sixth part of the year, the month, the day and the hour. It is not out of place, nay, it is really very appropriate, to remark here that the rules for recording the horoscopes of persons whose time of birth is not known from a feature peculiar to the Hindu systems of Astrology. Such rules do not exist in the case of Westetn systems of Astorolgy. In the absence of such rules the science of Indian Astrology would have been incomplete.

आधानजन्मापरिवोधकाले संपृच्छतो जन्म वदेद्विलमात् ! पूर्वापरार्द्धे भवनस्य विन्द्या- द्धानावुदग्दक्षिणगे प्रसूतिम् ॥१॥ Sloka 1 .- When neither the time of impregnation (enem Adhana ) nor the time of birth ( Janma ) is known, an astrologer ought to make out the chart of the querist from the rising sign at the time of query- If the ascendant be the first half of a sign, the birth should

SL. 1] षडविशोऽष्याय: 491

be declared to have been in the Uttarayana; if it be the latter half, the birth should have been in the Dakshinayana.

NOTES.

Suppose there was a query at 5-5 p.m. (Standard time) at Bangalore on the 25th November 1925. The planets at that moment will have been posited as in the chart below :

Moon 11° 20' Lagna 1° 52'

Sloka 2 .- The position of Jupiter should be located in one of the 4 houses counted from the sign itself representing the Lagna, the 5th from it or the 9th from it according as the rising decanate happens to be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd (of the rising sign) respectively at the time of query. After thus determining the position of Jupiter, the astrologer by a look at the querist should guess his present age. The xa (Ritu) at the time of birth should be determined by the ruler of the decanate rising on the Lagna or by the planet occupying the 1st house whichever is stronger. If the Sun be such a planet, it is 9oH (Grishma) ; the Ritus of the other planets have already been mentioned (ch. II-12 supra). If the Ritu thus found does not fit in with the Ayana of birth, but belongs to the other Ayana, the correct Ritu should be predicted by the solar transits (and not the lunar months) as explained in the next sloka.

NOTES. In the example taken, the Lagna is Taurus, 1° 52'. It is in the first decanate of Taurus. Jupiter therefore was at the time of birth in one of the four houses counted from Taurus.

His exact position was- $ 1° 52' x 4 x 30° or 22°-24" in Taurus. Or, we may take one Dwadasamsa ( miasuia ) to be equivalent to one Rasi travelled by Jupiter. Taurus 1° 52', will be in the Ist Dwadasamsa. Jupiter will therefore be declered to have

"SL: 2] षड्विशोऽण्याय: 493

traversed 1° 52' 2° 30 x 30° in Taurus itself. If the Lagna had been in Taurus 14° say, it is the 6th( araeTi5T ) Dwadasamsa of Taurus (and the 2nd in Virgo decanate). Jupiter would then have been in the 6th sign from Taurus (or in the 2nd sign from Virgo, that is Libra and his exact position would have been,. .x 30' or 18° 1° 30'

From the position of Jupiter as determined above and from the present position of Jupiter (i.e., at the time of query), the astrologer may approximately find out the age of. the querist by his bodily appearance, whether as in the example the querist is 7 years old or 19, 31, 43, 55, 67 years and so on.

In Chapter 1I-12, the seasons indicated by the planets {other than the Sun) have been mentioned. The Ritus have to be determined by the strongest of the planets in the Ascendant or by the ruler of the decanate rising on the Lagna. ."

In the present case, no planet is posited in the Lagna. Therefore the ruler of the rising decanate has to be considered. It is Venus, thus indicating that the birth must have taken place in the Vasanta Ritu (वसन्तर्तु)

In the example, the querist should therefore have been borD. in the वसन्तर्तु (Vasanta Ritu) that is in the Spring season in euyg (Uttarayrna); that is in the month of March or April ..

In case it is found not possible to guess from the appearance- of the querist the exact number of cycles of Jupiter, the same may be determined by the part of the body touched by the person at the time of query.

The actual age of the person will 3 x 12 or 36 years plus the number of years taken by Jupiter to travel from the Rasi occupied by him at birth to the sign occupied by him at the time of query. Bhattotpala adds that in the case of a querist who is more than 120 years old, there may not at all be any occasion to find out his lost horoscope.

The rising decanate determines the first or the second month of the Ritu (wa) according as the first or the second half of the decanate is rising. The lunar day ( fafer-Tithi ) of the birth should be determined from the rising decanate by rule-of-three process. NOTES. Suppose in the above example 11° of Taurus had been rising ; then it is the second decanate of Taurus, and this belongs to Mercury. Therefore the , (Ritu) typified is FRE (Sarat).

496 बृहजातके [ CH. XXVI:

But this does not fit in with the tpjT (Uttraryana) indicated: by the first half of the Lagna (11°). We have to therefore substitute Mars for Mercury and read भीष्मर्त (Grishma Ritu). which will fit in with उत्तरायण (Uttarayana). In our example, the Lagna is Taurus 1° 52' which means that the first half of the first decanate is rising, The birth should therefore have taken place when the Sun was in Pisces. To determine the lunar day of the month, we proceed thus: Convert the degrees, minutes, etc., of the decanate rising into- minutt s. Subtract 300 if the minutes be more than 300. From the remainder find out the Tithi (तिथि) at the rate of 10=1 तिथि (Tithi). Converting 1° 52' of Taurus into minutes we have 112'. Therefore the Tithi of birth is =111 or the 12th, i.e., Dwadasi (द्वादशी).

Sloka 4-Even in this, the learned Brahmin sages who are well-versed in Astrology declare that the lunar day (fafer-Tithi ) is exactly equivalent to the number of degrees, minutes, etc., passed by the Sun. If day or night signs be rising at the time of query, the birth must be declared to have been at night or day respectively. (If a day-sign rises, then the birth was at night and vice versa). The degrees rising on the Lagna indicates the ghatikas after Sun-rise or Sun-set as the case may be.

NOTES. In our example, the Sun's position is 10°.10' in Scorpio. The lunar Tithi of birth according to the rule in this sloka will be qFleeit (Ekadasi). As the rising sign Taurus is a night sign, the birsh must have taken place in the day time. As 1°52' of Taurus

was rising, the birth must have been at 1a-ghatikas after Sun 52

rise. This approximates to 45 minutes after Sun-rise on 26th March 1918. The positions of the other planets may be determined by a reference to the Ephemeris of the particular year. Varahamihira thus far gives a clue to find out the positions of the Sun and the Moon, the position of Jupiter and the ghatikas that have elapsed (after Sun-rise or Sun-set) at the time of birth of the querist. In other words, from the position of Jupiter one will be able to locate correctly the year of birth; from the position of the Sun, the month of birth; and that of the Moon from the fafer (Tithi) and that of the Lagna from the ghatikas after Sun-rise or Sun-set. N.B .- The Astrologer should not himself be the querist in which case the predictions may not come out successful. 63

Again, find out which is strongest among the first, the 5th and the 9th houses of the chart at the time of query. The Moon will invariably be in this house and his exact position will correspond to the particular :degree and minute of the sign representing the strongest house in question. Or the Moon may occupy the sign typifying the part of the body touched by the querist of his own accord.

NOTES. Varahamihira here gives out another method adopted by some astrologers and with whom he dees not apparently agree. For he has said केचित (Kechit) as distinct from बहुसाम्यं समुपैति (Bahu Samyam Samupaiti) used in VII-9. Supra. शुक्कान्तसंज्ञ मासं (Suklanta Samgnam Masam) means (lunar) month named after the Star occupied by the Moon at Full Moon ( the end of the bright half ). In the example taken it will be seen that the Moon is in the 4th Navamsa of pisces, i.e., Tula. The lunar month of birth may be चैत्र (Chaitra) or वैशाख (Vaisakha). The Stars composing the sign Libra are (Chitra) चित्ता, स्वाती (Swati) and विशाखा (Visakha), the first two constituting 6 quarters ( qe-pada ) and the last, three. Thus two-thirds of the sign belong to Chaitra and one-third to Vaisakha. The Moon's exact position is 1° 20' in the 4th Navamsa, which is within the limit of 3. Therefore the month of birth is चैत्र (Chaitra).

Sloka 6 .- Determine how far the Moon is away from the Lagna at the time of query. The position of the Moon at birth will be so far removed from the Moon at the time of query as the latter is from the ywaw (Prasna Lagna). If the Querist's Lagna is Pisces, then the qaa (Chandra) Lagna at birth should also be declared as Pisces. The sign at birth may also be determined by the articles of food if any that may be brought, any forms that may appear on the scene, or any cry that may be heard at the time. NOTES. The position of the Moon at the time of query (in the example) was 11-11°-20' The Lagna's position was 1-1°-52' Difference = 10-9°-28' Adding therefore 10 signs 9°28' to the qa (Prasna) Moon, we get the Moon at birth to be (11-11° .... 20' plus 10-9°-28' or) 9-20°-48'. The correct position of the Moon being thus determined, there is no necessity for again finding out the Lagna (the exact time) of birth. But there is a slight execption to this rule. If the Lagna at the time of query be fta (Meena), the Moon's Lagna at birth is also Meena. For the other Lagnas, the astrologer may judiciously shift the Lagna a little bit this side or that side after personally inspecting the querist as well as the surroundings. गुणाकर ·- यावल्माच्छीतररिमः प्रयातो ब्रयान्नूनं वावविन्दोश् राशिम्। वाच्यं मीनस्योदये मीनयुन्मं यद्ा शब्दाकारसुकाहताये:।। Also सारावळी- यावद्रत: शझी लगावन्द्रात्तावति जन्ममः। मीनोदये वरेग्भीम॥।

NOTES. * Taking the above example, the Lagna is Taurus 1° 52' That is the lst Navamsa (i e., Capricorn) is rising. Capricorn happens to be the 9th from Taurus. Therefore the Lagna at birth is the 9th from Capricorn, that is Virgo. According to some commentators, the rising sign at birth will be the rising Navamsa at the time of query. + Another method is given here. Count the decanates from the decanate rising at the time of query to the decanate occupied by the Sun at the time. If the number exceeds 12, subtract 12. The remainder thus got will represent the distance (in signs) of the Lagna at birth from the sign occupied by the Sun at the time of query. In the above example, it is the first decanate in Taurus that was rising. The decanate occupied by the Sun (7-10°-10') is the 2nd decanate of Scorpio. Between these there are 2 decanates of Taurus, 3 of Gemini, 3 of Cancer, 3 of Leo, 3 of Virgo, 3 of Libra, and of Scorpio, er 18 decanates, The decanates oceupied by the Sun at the time of query is thus the 20th decanate from the decanate rising at

It looks strange that there is no sloka by Varahamihira conveying an idea similar to the above sloka. Are we to infer that it is missing ? The sloka may be translated thus : If the Lagna at the time of the query be an even sign, the Lagna at the time of birth should be determined in the proportion of 5 degrees for each sign in the six signs counted from the Sun's sign (that is Leo). But if it, be an odd sign, the Lagna at birth should be determined in the same proportion in the 6 signs counted from the 7th-frem Lod.

SL. 8] षड्विशोऽव्यायः 503

For example, suppose the ywau (Prasna Lagna) to be the Cancer 18°. This is an even sign. The Lagna at birth should be sought for in the first six signs from Leo. As it is 18°, it is the 4th group of 5°; that is the 4th sign from Leo. The Lagna at birth is therfore, Scorpio. Suppose the Lagna at the time of query to be Libra 6°. The .Lagna at birth will be the 2nd sign from Kumbha, that is Meena.

Sloka 8 .- Ascertain the exact position of the planet in the Lagna at the time of query. If there should be more than one planct, take only the strongest of them. Multiply this by the figure (measure) denoted at the time by the छायाङ्गुल (Chhayangula) and divide the product by 12. The remainder will represent the Lagna at birth. Again, if the querist at the time of putting the query is rising to stand ( fagfa-Thishtathi), then the Lagna at birth will be the same as the sign rising at the time of query. If at the time of query the querist has already stood ( figa-Stthitha). then the Lagna at birth will be the 10th from the sign rising at the time of query. If it is ga (Supta) instead of fiua (Stthita), then the Lagna at

504 बृहजातके [CH. XXVI

birth will be the 4th from the yaen (Prasna Lagna). If the querist is enaft (Asina-sitting), the Lagna at birth will be the 7th from the gaaw (Prasna Lagna).

NOTES. paigs (Chhayangule) is a rod either 12 inches or 12 feet in length. Place such a rod at right angles to the earth. Find out its shadow in the same unit. The Shadow will be in measurable limit except at or near the two sandhyas. Determine the planet in the Lagna (and if there are more than one, the most powerful of them). Find its longitude in signs, degrees, minutes, from the beginning of Aries. [If two planets are equally powerful, both must be taken into consideration.] Multiply the longitude obatined for the planet by the measure obtained for the shadow. If the product is greater than 12, subtract from the same as many multiples of 12 as may be required. Take an example, Suppose the Lagna to be 6-1°-52' in the Chart urder Sloka l instead of 1-1°-52', the planets in the Lagna. will be Mars 15° 26' and Saturn 26°-20'. Of the two, Saturn is necessarily the stroiger. The longitude of Saturn from Arics. is 6 26°-20'. The 3pga (Chhayangula) at the time of the Lagna (about 3 a.m.) will be 11 say. Multiply 6-26°.20' by 11, we get 75 19°-40'. Taking away multiples of 12, we get the Lagna at birth to be 3 -; 9.40'. आसीन (Aseena)=sitting-7th house. सुप्त (Supta)=Asleep- 4th house. fagla (Thishttathi)=rising to stand-first house. figa (Stthita)=Having stood-10th house. For the views expressed here compare Western Astrology wherein the principle that angular signs ( eg-Kendra) at the time of query will act predominatingly in the case of consulter or object consulted is well enunciated.

Sloka 10 -- Multiply the result obtained in the last sloka by 7; add 9 if the Lagna at the time of query be a moveable sign; if it be an immovable sign, no reduction or addition need be made. If it be a common sign, 9 has to be subtracted. Divide the result by 27. The remainder will represent the Nakshatra of the querist at the time of birth. Thus should calculations be made from the 7th, the 3rd, the 5th and the 6th houses of the Query Chart when the Nakshatra of the querist's wife, brother, son or enemy respectively has to be predicted.

NOTES. The total obtained in the last sloka was 128-28°-12', or leaving off multiples of 12, 8 signs 28°-12'. This multiplied ky 7 gives 62 signs -- 17°-24'. Since Lagna (Tula) is movable, add 9. The result is 71-17°-24'. Dividing by 27 asterisms (which

means the same thing as dividing by 12 signs), we get the remainder to be 11 signs-17°-24', which will represent the exact position of the Moon.

The result in each case should be converted into minutes. We thus get 4 different results which

We get remainder 20 which means the 20th Vighatika in the 20th Ghatika was passing. The corresponding Lagna and its Navamsa -can be easily calculated.

Another interpretation. As there are only 6 Lagnas operating at night, divide 9,200 by 6. We get 2 remainder, which means two signs from Kumbha Lagna (as the month of birth was found out to be Leo and the sunset being with portions of (Aquarius). The Lagna is therefore Aries. The same figure 9,200 when divided by 9 gives a remain- der 2 which means the 2nd Navamsa of Aries.

CHAPTER XXVII

द्रष्काणाधध्यायः

It will be useful for reference to consolidate here the several kinds of decanates as mentioned in this ÇHapter.

There are 35 human decanates (all .the decanates except the third of Scorpio), of which 23 are male and 12 female. Nine are quadrupeds and 4 are birds. Five are serpent decanates. Of the 36, 11 are armed. (vide Statement appended).

On the use of decanates, Bhattotpala has the follow- ing interesting note : The 51 ( Yatra ) or travel will be beneficial and fruitful if the decanate of the sign rising at the time of the intended travel is of the nature owned, occupied or aspected by benefics signifying flowers or pearls or precious stones. Again, if the decanates are owned, occupied or aspected by malefics, the journey will be fruitless and if the decanate in the above case is of the nature of a serpent or rope, then the travel will be the cause of enforced seclusion or or causing great physical troubles to the native. Cf. The following sloka of Varahamihira in his work

द्रेष्काणे सौम्यरूपे कुसुमफळयुते रमभाण्डान्मिते थ। सौम्बेर्टटटे जय: स्यात्पहरणसटसे पापटट्टे च भङ्: संमोहो बाय वेघ: ससुजगनिगडे पापयुक्के निपासु:।।

"Again, the use of the decanates is in connection with the description or form of the thief," so says परथुयशस् (Prithuyasas) in षदूपश्ाशिका (Shat panchasika).

अंशका्जञायते द्रव्यं द्रेष्ठकाणैस्तस्करा स्मृताः । राशिभ्य: कालदिग्देशा वयोज्ातिश्च लग्नपात्।।

Now in our opinion, decanates are also employed in the nativity to describe the nature, characteristics and the general fortunes of the native as in Chapter XXI-6-supra. The decanates will also determine the periods indicating illness and recovery thereof accord- ing to the owners Ch. II-12-supra.

NOTES. The language used is metaphorical through out in this Chapter. The author gives a description of the Zodiac as to how the several portions of the same are symbolised. It has to be inferred that a person born in this decanate will be a mighty man, a politician, ready to protect others, etc, The decanate is a male one and an आयुधद्रेककाण (Ayudha Drckkana)

Sloka 3-The third decanate of Aries is described as a man cruel in disposition, skilled in arts, of a reddish colour, active but foiled in his attempts, and with a raised hand holding a stick. He wears red garments and is angry. NOTES. This Drekkana is an आयुध (Ayudha) and a male one.
