Suppose a planet is in 12° of Pisces, which means it is in the second decanate. The second decanate of Pisces falls in Cancer and the ruler thereof is the Moon. HORAS : Each Rasi is divided in two equal parts of 15°. The first Hora of an odd Rasi is ruled by the Sun and the second by Moon. In the case of even Rasis, the first and second Horas are respectively ruled by the Moon and the Sun. See the Table below :

TABLE OF LORDS OF HORAS

Rasi 1° to 15° 15° 1' to 30°

Aries Sun Moon Taurus Moon Sun Gemini Sun Moon Cancer Moon Sun Leo Sun Moon Virgo Moon Sun Libra Sun Moon Scorpio Moon Sun Sagittarius Sun Moon Capricorn Moon Sun Aquarurs Sun Moon Pisces Moon Sun

Assume a planet is in 17° of Virgo, which is an even Rasi. It is in the second Hora ruled by the Sun.

शरपञचाष्टमुनीन्द्रियभागास्त्रिशांशकास्तु विषमेषु। युग्मेषूत्कमगण्याः क जार्किजीवज्ञशुकारगाम् ॥१५। 15. LORDS OF TRIMSAMSAS : In odd signs, 5, 5, 8, 7 and 5 degrees are Trimsamsas of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus respectively while the arrangement is reverse in even signs.

Notes : The Sun and the Moon have no lordship over Trimsamsa division. Now see the table as under :

Chapter 3 29

TABLE OF TRIMSAMSAS

Odd Signs Even Signs up to 5° Mars up to 5° Venus 5° 1' to 10° Saturn 5° 1' 12° Mercury 10° 1' to 18' Jupiter 12° 1' to 20° Jupiter 18° 1' to 25° Mercury 20° 1' to 25° Saturn 25° 1' to 30° Venus 25° 1' to 30° Mars

Suppose a planet is at 28° of an odd sign, then it falls in Venusian Trimsamsa. If it is in 8° of an even sign, then the Trimsamsa belongs to Mercury.

In the context of Female Horoscopy, these positions are very useful. See chapter 46 for details.

मेषालिमिथुनमृगहरिमीनतुलावृषभचापधरकर्को। घटधरकन्यापूर्वाः सप्तांशानां भवन्तीशा: ॥१६।।

16. LORDS OF SAPTAMSNS : The Saptamsas for the 12 Rasis from Aries onwards are respectively counted from Aries, Scorpio, Gemini, Capricorn, Leo, Pisces, Libra, Taurus, Sagittarius, Cancer, Aquarius and Virgo. The lords thereof are those in whose Rasis they fall.

Notes : The idea is that the counting of Saptamsa for odd signs starts from that sign itself. In the case of even Rasis, it is from the opposite house. For example, the counting of 1/7th Amsa starts from Leo itself for Leo, the second is Virgo, third is Libra and so on and so forth. For Cancer, an even Rasi, the counting is done from Capricorn. Each Rasi is made in seven equal parts to be called as Saptamsa. Each Saptamsa thus equals to 4°17' 8₺".

Till now in the previous pages, we have had the following divisions :

1. Rasi 2. Hora 3. Drekkana 4. Navamsa 5. Dwa- dasamsa 6. Trimsamsa 7. Saptamamsa. There are other nine essential divisions to complete the Shodasa Varga (16 Varga) scheme. Some are satisfied with 10 Vargas and yet

30 Saravali

some with 7 Vargas. For the information of the readers, the lacuna is completed as under :

(8). Turyamsa : Each sign is made in four equal parts of 7°. 30' each. The first Turyamsa is lorded by the lord of the same Rasi, the second one by the lord of the 4th sign, the third one by the lord of the 7th sign and the 4th one by the lord of 10th sign. For example, the lords of 4 Tuyramsas in Aries are respectively :

Mars (Aries), Moon (Cancer), Venus (Libra) and Saturn (Capricorn). Similarly, for other positions in various Rasis these may be noted.

(9) Dasamsa : Each Rasi is divided in 10 parts of 3° each. In odd signs, the counting is from the sign itself. For even signs, the counting is from the ninth thereof. For example, the Ist Dasamsa of Aries, is in Aries itself, the 2nd in Taurus, the 3rd in Gemini and so on and so forth. Take Scorpio an even Rasi. Its first Dasamsa falls in Cancer which is the 9th Rasi from Scorpio. The second falls in Leo, the third in Virgo, the fourth in Libra and so on and so forth.

(10) Shodasamsa (i.e. 1/16th of a Rasi): This is also called Khalaamsa. Each Rasi is made in 16 equal parts i.e. 1z degrees. The counting commences from Aries for Chara Rasis, from Leo for Sthira Rasis and from Sagittarius for Dwi- swabhava Rasis. To give an example, in the case of movable signs, the first Shodasamsa is Aries, the 2nd is Taurus, and so on; the 13th is again Aries, the 14th is again Taurus the 15th is again Gemini and the last one, 16th is again Cancer. Similar calculations should be made for fixed and dual (common) signs accordingly.

(11) Vimsamsa : Each Rasi is made in 20 equal parts each of 1°30'. The counting for movable signs commences from Aries, for dual signs from Sagittarius and for common signs from Leo. For example take a common sign, for which counting is to be done from Leo. The first Vimsamsa is in Leo, the second in Virgo, the 12th in Cancer, the 13th in Eeo again and so on and so forth, with the 20th Vimsamsa

Chapter 3 31

ending in Pisces. Similarly, for other signs, suitable deductions can be made.

(12) Chaturvimsamsa : Each Rasi is made in 24 equal parts. This is also called Siddhamsa. One such division is made up of 1° 15' of arc. For odd signs, the 24 divisions are counted from Leo while for even signs the counting is from Cancer. For example, the first Siddhamsa of Aries is Leo, the 2nd is Virgo, the 3rd is Libra, the 13th is again Leo, the 14th is Virgo while the 24th one is Cancer. In the case of Taurus, an even sign, the 1st one is Cancer, the 2nd one is Leo, the 3rd one is Virgo, the 12th one is Gemini, the 13th is again Cancer, the 14th is again Leo while the 24th is again Gemini. The intermediary ones may be suitably understood accordingly.

(13) Nakshatramsa or Sapthavimsamsa : This is 1/27th part of a Rasi. The counting starts from the Rasi itself, whether it is an odd one or an even one. For example, for Aries, start from Aries and count upto Pisces, you get 12 Sapthavimsamsas. Then the 13th one is again Aries, the 14th is Taurus, the 24th is Pisces, the 25th is again Aries, the 26th one is Taurus and the 27th one is Gemini.

(14) Swa-Vedamsa : Each Rasi is made in 40 equal parts, each of 45' of arc. The counting for odd signs commences from Aries while Libra is the starting point for even signs. For example, for odd Rasis, we complete 3 rounds from Aries to Pisces to get 36 Swavedamsas. The 37th one is again Aries, the 38th one is Taurus, the 39th one is Gemini and the 40th one is Cancer .. Similarly for even Rasis, starting from Libra, we complete 3 rounds upto Virgo to get 36 Swavedamsas. The 37th, 38th, 39th, and the 40th ones are respectively Libra, Seorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

(15) Akshavedamsas : Each Rasi is divided into 45 equal parts, each of 40' of arc. In the case of movable Rasis, the rulership is counted from Aries; from Leo in so far as fixed Rasis are concerned and from Sagittarius for dual signs.

32 Saravali

(16) Shashtiamsas : 30' of arc makes one Shashtiamsa and each Rasi has 60 such Shashtiamsas. In the case of an odd sign, the designations of Shashtiamsas are as under. The suffix "M" indicates that it is a malefic Shashtiamsa while "B" tells you that it is benefic.

1. Ghora-M 2. Rakshasa-M 3. Deva-B 4. Kubera-B 5. Yaksha-B 6. Kinnera-B 7. Bhrashtamsa-M 8. Kulagnamsa-M 9. Garalamsa-M 10. Agani-M 11. Maya-M 12. Pretapureesa-M 13. Apampatya-B 14. Marutwa-B 15. Kaala -M 16, Ahibhaga-B 17. Amrita-B 18. Chandra-B 19. Mrudu-B 20. Komala-B 21. Horambha-B 22. Brahma-B 23. Vishnu-B 24. Maheswara-B 25. Dewa -B 26. Ardra-B 27. Kalinamsa-M 28. Kshitiswara-B 29. Kamalakara-B 30. Gulikamsa-M 31. Mruthyu-M 32. Kaala-M 33. Dawagni-M 34. Horamsa-M 35. Yama-M 36. Kantaka-M 37. Sudha-B 38. Amrita - B 39. Poornachandra-B 40. Vishpratganda-M 41. Kalinamsa-M 42. Vamsakhaya-B 43. Utpata-M 44 Kaliroopa-M 45. Soumya-B 46. Komala-B 47. Seethala-B 48. Dhanshtrakarala-B 49. Indumukha-M 50. Pravina-M 51. Kalagni-B 52. Dandayuda -M 53. Nirmala-B 54. Soumya-B 55. Kroora-M 56. Atiseetala - B 57. Sudha-B 58. Payodeesa-B 59. Bramana-M 60. Indurekha-B

For even signs, the counting is reverse. That is the 60th

Chapter 3 33

one of odd Rasi will be the first one of even Rasi. The second one of an even Rasi is the same as the 59th one of an odd Rasi, and so on and so forth. Saptavargas : These consist of Rasi, Hora, Decanat e, Sapthamsa, Navamsa, Dvadasamsa and Trimsamsa. Dasa Vargas : Khalamsa, Dasamsa and Shashtiamsa calculations are added to the above-mentioned Sapthavarga scheme, to get Dasavargas. Shodasa Vargas : These are sixteen divisions, which I have explained in the previous pages. The use of the said 16 vargas is explained below :

(1) Rasi Lagna Appearance; shape, etc, (2) Hora Financial status (3) Decanate Brothers and happiness from them (4) Turyamsa Bhagya or prosperity (5) Sapthamsa Children and grand children (6) Navamsa Wife (7) Dasamsa Profession (8) Dvadasamsa Father and mother (9) Khalamsa Conveyances (10) Vimsamsa Success (11) Chaturvimsamsa Education (12) Nakshatramsa Strength (13) Trimsamsa Malefic results (14) Swavedamsa Good and„bad (15) Akshavedamsa Good and bad (16) Shashtia msa Good and bad

षष्टिहोरा त्र्यंशः सोडुपदा सा द्विसप्ततिसमेता। लिप्तानामष्टादशशतानि परिवर्तनः स्वगृहात् ॥१७॥ 17. The total of the number of Horas and that of deca- nates is sixty (24-+36), in the entire Zodiac. The figure is increased by 72 if the total of Horas+Navamsas is required, i.e. 60+72=24+108=132. Each Rasi has 1800 Kalas (30 degrees each of 60' of arc).

34 Saravali

लग्नादीनां लिप्ता ज्ञेया: स्वगृहादिवर्गसंगुणिताः। अष्टादशशतभक्ता लब्धः स्यादीप्सितो वर्गः ॥१८॥ 18. DIFFERENT VARGAS : To know any kind of Varga (i.e. Hora, Navamsa, Drekkana etc.) adopt the following method : convert the longitude into minutes of arc and multi- ply by the Varga figure concerned. Divide the product by 1800. The resultant figure will revcal the required Varga. Notes : Suppose a planet is in 15° of Aries and we want to know the Navamsa position. 15° converted into minutes becomes 900 This should be multiplied by 9 which is the fiigure for Navamsa. We get 8100. Divided by 1800, this yields 4 completed Navamsas with a remainder which indicates the 5th Navamsa. The factor of multiplication for Hora is 2, for decanate 3, for Dasamsa 10 and so on and so forth. These Vargas can be found from the tables already given earlier without undergoing this ordalium. एतेषां गुणदोषान् विस्तरतो नष्टजातके वक्ष्ये। एभिः स्पष्टतरं तत्प्रत्यक्षपरीक्षणं यस्मात् ॥१६॥ 19. The malefic and benefic effects of such Vargas are explained in detail in the Nashta Jataka chapters (at the end). अजादितः क्रूरशुभौ पुमांस्त्री चरः स्थिरो मिश्रतनुश्च दृष्टाः। कुलीरमीनालिगृहान्तसन्धि वदन्ति गण्डान्तरमिति प्रसिद्धम् ॥।२०।। जातो न जीवति नरो मातुरयथ्यो भवेत्स्वकुलहन्ता। यदि जीवति गण्डान्ते बहुगजतुरगो भवेद्भूप: ॥२१॥ 20-21. RASIS-BENEFIC AND MALEFIC IN NATURE; GANDANTA AND ITS EFFECTS : From Aries onwards, alter- natively the Rasis are known as malefic and benefic on the one hand, and male and female on the other band. These are also classified as chara (Movable), Sthira (Fixed or Immovable) and Dviswabhava (Ubhaya, dual or common) Rasis. The ending portions of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are called Gandanta. It is said that one born in Gandanta will not survive. He will either lose his mother or he will end the dynasty, i.e. he is the last of his descent and will not have any children. If,

Chapter 3 35

however, he survives, he becomes a king with many elephants and horses.

Notes : The Rasis are classified as under :

Aries odd male Taurus even female Gemini odd male Cancer even female

Leo odd male Virgo even female Libra odd male Scorpio even female Sagittarius odd male Capricorn even female Aquarius odd male

Pisces even female

Gandanta : For Gandanta, I have given elaborate notes in my translation of Horasara, vide chapter 5 which the reader may consult.

ऐन्द्रयादिषु परिवर्तैस्त्रितयं त्रितयं त्रिभिस्तु मेषाद्यः। एभिदिक्षु निबद्धर्यात्रादि विकल्पयेत्कार्यम् ॥२२॥

22. DIRECTIONS OF RASIS : The four Rasis from Aries onwards indicate East, South, West and North, while the remaining Rasis repeat in the same way. A journey under- taken by a person towards the direction indicated by the Lagna or the Moon (at the commencement of journey) yields fruitful results.

Notes: According to the above rule, for example, if Aries is the Lagna at the commencement of a journey, or if the Moon be in Aries, there is success in the eastern direction.

Now, the directions indicated in this Sloka are : Aries, Leo and Sagittarius East Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn South Gemini, Libra and Aquarius West Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces North

36 Saravali

According to Prasna Marga (chapter 2), the directions are divided among the zodiacal signs as under :

Aries-Taurus : East

Cancer-Leo : South

Libra-Scorpio West

Aquarius-Capricorn : North

Gemini South-East

Virgo : South-West

Sagittarius : North-West

Pisces : North-East

Planetary rulerships are denoted in sloka 8 of chapter 4 infra. नरपशुवृश्चिकजलजा यथाकमं प्राग्दिगादिगा बलिनः । निशि दिवसे सन्ध्यायां पशवः पुरुषो मृगालिकर्किभषाः ॥२३॥

23. DIGBALA AND KALABALA : Human signs, quad- ruped signs, Scorpio and watery signs are respectively strong in the directions commencing from the east. Further during night time quardruped signs, day time human or biped signs and the second half of Capricorn, Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces are strong at the time of day break and or night fall.

Notes : Digbala of signs : Each Rasi assumes strength when it happens to be a certain Bhava. East represents Lagna, South represents the 10th house, West represents the 7th house (i.e. the opposite of Lagna) while the 4th house (i.e. opposite of the 10th, the South) is the North.

· The northern point is also called Nadir; the Western point is known as descendant and the southern point is the zenith of the horoscope. The ascendant and the planets (from the Sun to Saturn) in their usual motion move from East to West via the North. That is their motion is anticlockwise. Rahu, Ketu and others (i.e. Mars to Saturn) when retrograde move from West to East via North i,e. clockwise,

Chapter 3 37

Human signs are : Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and first half of Sagittarius.

Quadruped signs are : Aries, Taurus, Leo, second half of Sagittarius and first half of Capricorn.

Watery signs are : Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces and second half of Capricorn.

Keeta Rasi or insect sign in Scorpio as per Garga and Mantreswara. But Parasara includes Cancer also. Horasara classifies the 3 watery signs as Keeta Rasi with particular emphasis on Scorpio. Now, the first part of the sloka can be well-conceived. Human signs are strong in the east or ascendant. Biped signs are strong in south or the 10th. Scorpio is strong in the West or the 7th while watery signs (excluding Scorpio) have strength in the north or the 4th. Similar view is found in Horasara of Prithuyasas (ch. I, s.12) and Jataka Parijatha (ch. I, S. 16-18). The Kalabala of Rasis are clear, as given in the text.

नक्तंबरा मिथुनकर्किमृगाजगोश्वा द्यश्रेष्ठका हरितुलालिघटान्त्यकन्याः । पृष्ठोदया: समियुना मिथुनं विहाय शेषा: शिरोभिरुदयन्त्युभयेन मीनः ॥२४॥

24. DAY AND NIGHT SIGNS-SIRSHODAYA AND PRISHTODAYA SIGNS : Gemini, Cancer, Capricorn Aries, Taurus and Sagittarius are nignt signs. Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius, Pisces and Virgo are day signs. The signs Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, Sagittarius and Taurus are called Prishtodaya which rise with hind part. Sirodaya signs (rising with head) are : Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Virgo, Aquarius and Gemini. The sign Pisces is Ubhayodaya (i.e. that rises with both head and hind part).

38 ŚaravaÌi

Notes : The use of day signs and night signs is mani- fold in lost horoscopy. For details see my English translation of NASHTA JATAKA. आत्मीयनाथदृष्टः सहितस्तेनैव तत्प्रियैर्वापि। शशिसुतजीवाभ्यामपि राशिर्बलवान्न चेच्छेषः ।।२५।

25. STRENGTH OF RASI : If a Rasi is aspected by its lord, or by a planet that is friendly to its lord or by Mercury or by Jupiter, it is said to be strong. Planets other than the above do not lend strength by aspect. तन्वर्थसहजबान्धवपुत्रारिस्त्रीविनाशपुण्यानि कर्मायव्ययभावा लग्नाद्या भावतश्चिन्त्याः ॥२६।।

Notes : The ascendant denotes the physique and vigour of the native. The second house is indicative of money while co-born and valour are to be noted from the 3rd. Residences and relatives are governed by the 4th. The children and intelligence are reflected by the 5th. Enemies and wounds come under the 6th. Sexual acts and spouse fall under the 7th. The 8th house holds death. One's past merits, preceptors

Chapter 3 39

and elders should be estimated from the 9th. Profession (work) and honour are related to the 10th. Income and prosperity are to be noted from the 11th while the last house highlights expenses. For more detailed information, see pp 183-187 of Horasara.

28-31 ADDITIONAL SYNONYMS.

The 4th (Vesma) and the 8th are called as Chaturasra houses. The 9th is known as Tapa (aT) i.e. penance. The 4th has names like Sukha (happiness), Jala (water), Patala (nether- world). Bandhu (relatives) and Hibuka. The other names given to the 10th house are : Karma (deed), Agna (command), Gagana (sky or zenith) and Meshurana. The 5th and 9th are trines. The 5th is the only house connected with Dhi (i.e intellect) while the 9th house is Tritrikona, i e. the trine of trine. The 7thh ouse is called Dyuna, Astha (setting), Jaaya(rar) and Jamitra. The 6th is Shatkona; the 3rd is Duschikya and the 12th Rippha. Kutumba is the 2nd house.

Notes: The word Jamitram (जामित्रं) is derived from जाया and is indicative of the future goodluck of one's wife. The word is obviously connected with the Greek word diametron.

Regarding trines, only the 5th and the 9th are strictly trines while the ascendant is not included in this classification.

40 Saravali

Our author uses the words "एकत्रिकोर" to indicate the first, 5th and 9th houses separately in sloka 30 of this Chapter. Such separate mention for the ascendant can be noticed while the 5th and 9th are discussed, in Horasara and others. Also refer to Jataka Parijata (Ch. I), Jataka Tatwa (1-27), Lagna Chandrika (1-6), Brihat Jataka (Ch. I), Phal Deepika (1-17/18) and my English translations of Brihat Parsara Hora (Ch. 8, sloka 35) and Horasara (Ch. 1, sloka 33). Thus, we may know that the ascendant is not designated as a trine in any standard astral literature.

केन्द्रात्परतः पणफरमापोक्लिमसंज्ञितं तयो: परतः। बालयुवस्थविरत्वे क्रमेण फलदा ग्रहास्तेषु ॥३२॥

32. KENDRA, APOKLIMA AND PANAPHARA- EFFECTS-THEREOF : The adjoining houses with reference to angles (Kendras) are Panaphara. The houses next to Panapharas are Apoklima houses. The planets in angles give effects in one's boyhood. The effects of planets in Panapharas are felt in the middle age while the planets in Apoklima give result at the conclusion of the natives's life.

Notes : Kendras are Ist, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Pana- pharas (also called cadent houses) are the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th. Apoklima houses (succedent) are the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses. The good or bad effects are specially revealed in the boyhood, youth and old age according to their placement in angles, cadents or succedents.

षट्दशभवदुश्चिक्यान्युपचय संज्ञानि कीर्त्यन्ते। स्वतनुसुखसुतास्ततपश्छिद्रव्ययसंज्ञितानि चान्यानि ॥३३॥

33 UPACHAYA AND ANUPACHAYA : The 6th, 10th, 11th and 3rd are called upachaya houses while the Ist, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 12th are Anupachaya houses.

Notes: The word अनुपचय is derived thus : न +उपचय

Chapter 3 41

सिंहवृषमेषकन्याकार्मुकभृ त्तौलिकुम्भधराः । सूर्यादीनामेते त्रिकोणभवनानि कथ्यन्ते॥३४॥

34. MOOLATRIKONAS OF PLANETS : Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra and Aquarius are the respective Moolatrikonas for the planets from the Sun onwards.

Notes : For more details, see Horasara, page 20. सूर्यादीनामुच्चा: क्रियवृषमृगयुवतिककिमीनतुलाः। स्वोच्चगृहकथितभागा यथाक्रमेणैव परमोच्चाः ॥३५॥। - .. स्वोच्चात्सप्तमराशिर्नीचः स्यादंशकात्परमम् ॥३६॥

35-36. EXALTATION AND FALL : Aries, Taurus, Capri- corn, Virgo, Cancer, Pisces and Libra respectively are the signs of exaltation for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. These are deeply exalted at 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20 degrees in the respective Rasis. The Rasis opposite exaltation are the places of debilitation for the planets concerned. And the respective degrees are of deep fall.

Notes : Planets derive strength by virtue of exaltation and · are weak if in fall. Even if a planet is in exaltation in Rasi but in its fallen Navamsa, its effects are neutralized. Conversely though it may be in its debilitation Rasi, but in exaltation Navamsa, its good effects only increase. Now, see the table of exaltation and fall for various planets :

Planet Deep exaltation Deep fall degree degree

Sun Aries 10° Libra 10° Moon Taurus 3° Scorpio 3° Mars Capricorn 28° Cancer 28° Mercury Virgo 15° Pisces 15° Jupiter Cancer 5° Capricorn 5 Venus Pisces 27° Virgo 27° Saturn Libra 20° Aries 20°

42 Saravali

The nodes are differently discussed in this context. Various schools have allotted differing Rasis as exaltation and debilitation zones for Rahu and Ketu. Without bothering one- self at this stage about the controversy, one can gather consoli- dated information from my notes given on pages 20-21 of Horasara.

हृस्वास्तिमिगोजघटा मियुनधनुकर्किमृगमुखाश्च समाः। वृश्चिककन्यामृगपतिवरिणजो दीर्घाः समाख्याता: ।३७।। एभिर्लग्नादिगतैः शीर्ष प्रभृतीनि वै शरीराणि। सदशानि विजायन्ते युतगगनचरश्च तुल्यानि ॥३८॥

37-38. LONG, MEDIUM AND SHORT ASCENSIONS OF SIGNS : Pisces, Taurus, Aries and Aquarius are signs of short ascension. Gemini, Sagittarius, Cancer, and Capricorn are of medium ascension. The long ascension signs are : Scorpio, Virgo, Leo and Libra. The head and other organs of the native will be similar to the sign ascending at birth and other relative signs. The planets occupying such houses will also influence the form and shape of the various organs.

/ Notes : If, for example, Scorpio ascends at birth, the head of the native will be long. Should Aries rise, the head is small. The influence lent by planets will also have a say on this matter. For significations of organs, see next chapter.

In Jataka Parijatha, Ch. I, Pisces is stated to be of medium ascension.

Also see Horasara, Ch. I, sloka 24. भवनाधिपदिङनाम प्लव इति यवनः प्रयत्नतः कथितः। तत्प्लवगो विनिहन्यादचिरेण महीपतिः शत्रून् ॥३६॥ 39. FAVOURABLE DIRECTIONS FOR JOURNEYS : The direction ruled by the lord of a Rasi bscomes Plava direc- tion for that Rasi. This is Yavana's school of thought. If the king undertakes his journey towards such direction indicated by the Rasi concerned, he attains quick success.

Chapter 3 43

Notes : The directions ruled by the planets are indicated in sloka 8, Ch. 4, infra. From the same, we can see, for example, Saturn rules west. If one proceeds to the west when. Capricorn or Aquarius rises (or the Moon being so posited) he will attain victory effortlessly. लोहितसितशुकहरिता: पाटलपरिधू म्रपाण्डुचित्राश्च। कृष्णकनकाभपिङ्गाः कर्त्रुरबभ्रू त्वजादिवर्ण्गाः स्युः॥४०॥ ज.मोदयगृहवर्रा तदधिपतेः पूजिता प्रतिमा। हन्ति समस्तान् शत्रूनिन्द्रध्वजिनीव देवरिपून्।।४१।। 40-41. COLOURS OF RASIS : From Aries onwards the following 12 colours are allotted to the various Rasis respecti- vely : red, white, green, pink, brown, grey, variegated, black, golden, yellow, deep brown and white. If an idol of the lord of the ascendant is made in the colour alloted (as above) and is worshipped, the native will destroy his enemies just as Lord Indra destroyed the demons. इति कल्याणवमंविरचितायां सारावल्यां राशिभेदो नाम तृतीयोऽध्यायः ।।३। Thus ends the 3rd chapter "Rasi Description" of Kalayana Varma's Saravali.

mind, Mars strength, Mercury speech (voice), Jupiter intelli- gence, Venus comforts, Rahu ego and Saturn grief. If at birth, planets indicative of soul etc. (as above) are strong, these significations will equally be strong. If these planets are weak, the effects are only meagre. But in the case of Saturn it is different.

3-6. The counting of limbs according to the decanate rising at birth should be identified as under :

If the first decanate rises, count from head; if the second decanate rises from neck and if the 3rd one rises, count from pelvis. The 6 Rasis backwards from the ascendant denote the left side of the body while the 6 forward Rasis from Lagna indicate the right side of the body. Should the first decanate of a sign ascend the lapsed part of the ascendant denotes left side of the head and the part to rise yet indicates the right side of the head, the 2nd and 12th denote right and left eyes respecti- vely; the 3rd and 11th right and left ears; the 4th and 10th right and left nose; the 5th and 9th right and left cheeks; the 6th and 8th right and left chins and the 7th left side of the face (by area yet to rise) and the 7th right side of the face (by portion already descended). If the 2nd decanate rises neck, shoulder, arms, side, heart, stomach, and navel are to be understood in the same order. Should the third decanate rise, pelvis, anus, penis,

Chapter 4 45

testicle, thigh, knee, calf, and feet will be counted in the same order. The decanates occupied by malefics denote wounds etc. while the ones by benefics indicate marks (or moles) on the limbs concerned. Should these planets be in their own Rasi or Amsa at birth, then the wound or mole are right from birth; otherwise these will be caused later on (in appropriate periods).

Notes : If the first decanate be rising, the limbs denoted are as under :

Lagna head (right/left side) 2nd/12th eyes (right/left) 3rd/11th - ears (right/left) 4th/10th nose (right/left side) 5th/9th - cheeks (right/left) 6th/8th chins (right/left) 7th face (right/left) In the case of 2nd decanate ascending, the counting is from neck, as under : Lagna ncck (right/left side) 2nd/12th shoulder (right/left) 3rd/11th arm (right/left) 4th/10th - side (right/left) 5th/9th heart (right/left side) 6th/8th stomach (right/left side) 7th navel (right/left side)

If the 3rd decanate ascends, then the arrangement takes place from pelvis as under : Lagna- pelvis (right/left) 2nd/12th anus/penis (right/left) 3rd/11th testicle (right/left) 4th/10th thigh (right/left) 5th/9th - knee (right/left) 6th/8th calf (right/left) 7th feet (right/left)

46 Saravali

If a decanate is occupied by a malefic, say, Mars, there will be wound etc. on the limb. A benefic denotes mole. Should this be in a Rasi/Amsa owned by it, then the effect is from birth itself. If not, this will occur in its dasa bhukti later on.

राजा रविः शशधरस्तु बुध कुमार: सेनापतिः क्षितिसुतः सचिवौ सितेज्यौ। !भत्यस्तयोश्च रविजः सबला नरागां कुर्वन्ति जन्मसमये निजमेव रूपम् ॥७॥ 7. PLANETARY PORTFOLIOS AND THEIR USE: The Sun and the Moon are said to be the kings. Mercury is the prince, Mars army chief, Jupiter and Venus ministers while Saturn is servant. The native acquires such qualities as of the strongest planet. भानु: शुकः क्षमापुत्रः सैंहिकेयः शनिः शशी। सोम्यस्त्रिदशमन्त्री च प्राच्यादिदिगधीश्वराः॥८॥ 8. PLANETARY DIRECTIONS : The Sun, Venus, Mars, Rahu, Saturn, the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter are respectively the lords of the directions commencing from the east.

Notes : The planetary rulerships of the 8 quarters are clarified below : 1. The Sun-East 2. Saturn-West 3. Venus-South-east 4. The Moon-North-west 5. Mars-South 6. Mercury-North 7. Rahu-South-west 8. Jupiter-North-east. The directions are related to the zodiacal signs also vide sloka 22, Ch. 3, supra.

गुरुबुधशुकाः सौम्याः सौरिकुजार्का नितर्गतः पापाः। शशिजोऽशुभसंयुक्तः क्षीणशच निशाकरः पापः॥६॥ 9. PLANETARY NATURE : Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are benefics in nature. Saturn, Mars and the Sun are natural malefics. Mercury in the company of malefics and the Moon ·f decreasing are also considered malefics.

Chapter 4 47

Notes : Thus, Jupiter and Venus are the only natural bcnefics. Mercury, if not in the company of malefics, remains a natural benefic. Otherwise, if he gets associated with natural malefics, he turns into a malefic. As regards Moon, she is benefic in the bright half and a malefic in dark half. Accord- ing to some, she is good from bright half Dasami to Dark half Panchami (See also sloka 16, Ch. 5, infra). Apart from natural benefics and natural malefics, planets are good or bad according to the sign rising at birth. For details, see my English translation of Brihat Parasara Hora, (Ch. 34). हेलिर्भानुः शशी चन्द्रः क्रूरद्क् क्षितिनन्दनः। आरो रक्तस्तथा वक्रो हेम्नो विद् ज्ञोऽथ बोधनः॥१०॥ ईड्येज्यावङ्गिरा जीवो ह्यास्फुजिच्च सितो भृगुः । मन्दः कोणो यमः कृष्णो विद्यादन्यानि लोकतः ॥११।

10-11. SYNONYMS OF PLANETS : Heli and Bhanu are the other names given to tbe Sun. The Moon is called Sasi. Krooradrik, Bhomisuta, Aara (UIT), Rakta, and Vakra are indicative of Mars. Hemna, Vid, Gna and Bodhana denote Mercury. Eedya (ईड्य), jya (इज्य), Angira and Jiva all are Jupiter's names. Aasphujit, Sita (fara) and Bhrigu mean Venus. Manda, Kona, Yama and Krishna are Saturn's synonyms. For these planets, there are various other names which should be elicited from other texts. Notes : There are many other names with which the planets are referred to in traditional astrological literature. The curious reader may consult notes given under sloka 41, Ch. 2 of my English version of Horasara. ताम्रसितारुहरितकपीतविचित्रासिता इनादीनाम्।

48 Saravali

THEIR USE : From the Sun onwards, the respective hues of the planets are : copper-red, white, (blood) red, green, yellow, variegated, and black. The deities for these planets are res- pectively : Fire, Water, Kartıkeya, Vishnu, Indra, Sachi Devi and Brahma. The planets from the Sun onwards should be worshipped by the Mantras concerned and if trips to the respective directions are undertaken, one can gain gold, gems, elephants etc. Notes : The colours described can be noted from Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (Ch. I), Brihat Jataka (Ch. II), Horasara (Ch. 2), Jataka Parijatha (Ch. II), Prasna Marga (Ch. 16), Phala Deepika (Ch. II) etc.

The planetary directions are given in sloka 8, of this chapter. If one undertakes a journey to the directions concerned after worshipping a planet, he will stand to gain. For example, one wants go to the northeast; he must worship the planet Jupiter (and also Indra) before proceeding. Then, he can achieve his aim unhindered.

14. SEX, CASTE AND ELEMENTS : The Moon and Venus are females. Mercury and Saturn rule neutrals (i.e. these two are neutrals). Males are Jupiter, the Sun and Mars. Brahmins are ruled by Jupiter and Venus. The Sun and Mars preside over the royal lot. The Moon rules Vaisyas (business community). Saturn rules those of mixed breed while Mercury presides over Sudras, (the 4th caste people). The five primordial compounds, viz. Fire, Earth, Ether, Water and Air are respectively ruled by planets from Mars onwards.

च ॥१५। 15. PLANETARY TASTES AND ABODES : The pla-

Chapter 4 49

nets from the Sun on are attributed tastes as under : acrid, saline, bitter, mixed, sweet, sour (aciduous) and astringent. Their abodes respectively are : temples, water-resorts, fire houses, sports ground, treasury, bed-room and dirty places.

Notes: The planets from the Sun to Saturn, leaving Mercury have been allotted individual Rasas or tastes while Mercury reveals a mixture of all the six tastes.

.,: .16. PLANETARY ROBES AND SUBSTANCES : From the Sun onwards, the apparels attributed are : coarse, new, burnt,. water-soaked, neither new nor old i.e. recent, durable and a rag. Similarly, copper, gem, gold. metal alloy, silver, pearl and iron are in their order denoted by the Sun etc. ending with Saturn.

Notes : Rahu is alloted a multi-coloured apparel while Ketu a much torn piece of cloth, see Sarvartha Chintamani, Ch. I. sloka 81. Similarly for Rahu lead and for Ketu sapphire is indicated by Venkatesa Daivagana. अयनक्षणदिवसर्तुकमासतदर्धशरदां दिनेशाद्याः। शिशिरादीनामोशाः शनिसितभौमेन्दुबुधजीवाः ।१७।।

17. PERIODS AND RITUS OF PLANETS : Ayana (947), Muhurtha, Ahoratra (day and night), Ritu (season), month, fortnight and year are respectively ruled by the planets from the Sun to Saturn. The seasons, viz. Sisira, Vasanta, Grishma, Varsha, Sarat, and Hemanta are respectively ruled by Saturn, Venus, Mars, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter.

Notes : Apart from Mars, the Sun also gets rulership of Grislma Ritu. These Ritus can te used in lost horoscopy

also. For details, consult my English translation of Nashta Jataka. लग्नाधिपतेस्तुल्यः कालो लग्नोदितांशकसमाख्यः । वक्तव्यो रिपुविजये गर्भेषु च कार्यसंयोगे ॥१८॥

18. USE OF THESE : In the matter of winning enemies, delivery of child or such questions, materialization of the objective concerned will be as per the period allotted to the Lagna Lord. This should be understood according to the ascendant passed.

Notes : Suppose Jupiter is the Lagna Lord in a query relating to child birth, with the Prasna Lagna having passed 10 degrees. Jupiter indicates the period month as per the previous sloka and hence one third of a month should pass for the delivery to take place. Such information can be elicited in regard to return of missing person etc. Rahu and Ketu have not been allotted such periods by Kalyana Varma in sloka 17, Ch. 4. Sarvartha Chintamani, however, denotes 8 months for Rahu and 3 months for Ketu, vide its chapter 3 sloka 90.

19-20. LORDS OF VEDAS AND WORLDS : Jupiter rules Rig Veda, Venus Yajur Veda, Mars Sama Veda and Mercury Atharva Veda. Jupiter denotes the Heavens, the Moon and Venus the world of the Manes, the Sun and Mars the world of mortals and Mercury and Saturn hell. पटुमतिर्मुख्यस्वरूपस्वनो नात्युच्चो मधुपिङ्गचारुनयनः शूरः प्रचण्ड: स्थिरः । रक्तश्यामतनुर्निगूढचरणः पित्तास्थिसारो महान् गम्भीरशचतुरस्त्रकः पृथुकर: कौसुम्भवासा रविः ॥२१।।

21. DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF THE SUN : The Sun has curly hair, sharp mind, prominent appearance, majestic voice, and is not very tall. His eyes are honey-coloured. He is courageous, steady, and of a complexion which has a mix of red and green His feet are not conspicuous (i.e. small in size). He is bilious and has sturdy bones. He is great and majestie. He has fiery rays and square body, and wears safforn coloured apparels.

Notes : The Sun has no hair on his head. He causes reddish clouds. He denotes tuberculosis, fever, physique, head, father, king etc. (Ref. Poorva Parasaryam).

Mantreswara also describes the Sun as dealt with in various texts. He uses the words "qg ara:" which indicate that the Sun has long hands. Kalyana Varma's words q57: have been rendered as fiery rays as q also denotes fire and 57 the rays (or hands). Similarly, Prithuyasas has used TEEKSHNAMSU in Horasara. The Sun has predominance of Satwa. He is said not to live in one place for long. His weakness causes damage to eyes.

If in a nativity, a satwik planet is strong, he will have kindness, firmness, truthfulness, softness and respect for Gods and the wise. If Rajasik planet is strong, he will be skilful in poetry, literature, fine arts, sacrifices (religious), will have interest in the fair sex and be valorous. If Tamasik planet is strong, he will be short-tempered, foolish, indolent, and long- sleeping. The Sun, the Moon and Jupiter are Satvic planets. Mereury and Venus are Rajasic planets. Mars, Saturn and Rahu are Tamasic planets. These descriptions are found in our present work and in various other texts, in many contexts. Now, the reader can easily understand these.

54 Šaravali

unsteady. He speaks sweetly but stammers. He is adulterous and does not possess firm valour. He is truthful. This is how Mercury is described in Horasara, Sarvartha Chintamani, Phala Deepika and Poorva Parasaryam. ईषत्पिङ्गललोचनः श्रुतिधरः सिंहाच्छनादः स्थिरः सत्त्वाढयः सुविशुद्धकाञ्चनवपुः पीनोन्नतोर: स्थलः। शश्वदू धर्मरतो विनीतनिपुरणो बद्धोत्कटाक्ष: क्षमी स्यात्पीताम्बरभृत्कफात्मकतनुर्मेदः प्रधानो गुरुः ॥२५॥

He wears yellow apparels, is phlegmatic, fat and pre-eminent.

Notes: "बद्धोत्कटाक्ष" has been interpretedby some comm- entators as "wearing excellent rosaries". This view cannot be subscribed to, while I have rendered the same as having firm and large eyes. See a=firm, =large and = eyes.

Jupiter has large eyes and hence his aspect on or occup- tion of the 2nd house confers large and beautiful eyes. He has large belly. He is a minister, has sharp mind, and is gold-coloured. He denotes abdomen, wisdom, work, hearing and auspiciousness. He consumes honey, ghee and. sweet food. He is virtuous and meritorious and is an expon- ent of mythology.

The present verse is taken verbatim by Mantreswara for his Phala Deepika, (except for minor replacement), vide Ch. II, sloka 14.

Since our author has not described the nodes, please find following addition : RAHU : He is of thievish disposition and belongs to a base caste. He is black in complexion, and denotes fits, fear from snakes, leprosy, loose motions, small-pox, tastelessness of food, worm infections, elephants, death and wealth.

56 Saravali

Now, we have to understand, the use of these planetary descriptions, qualities etc. as explained in the foregoing slokas. If a planet influences the ascendant, its lord, its occupant, Moon sign lord, a bhava lord etc. the sphere, concerned changes accordingly. For example, if the 7th lord is influenced by Venus, the wife of the native acquires the qualities ascribed to Venus. She may be beautiful, be of Rajasic disposition, intelligent, fortunate etc etc. If the ascendant or its lord comes in contact with the Sun the native may be baldy, courageous, may like saffron apparels, may have sturdy bones, small feet, and be susceptible to T.B., fever etc. Similar inferences may be suitably made by the wise. मित्रारि सूर्याद्गुरुभौमचन्द्राः सूर्येन्दुपुत्रौ रविचन्द्रजीवाः। भानु: सशुक्र: शशिसूर्भौमा मन्देनदुजौ शुकबुधौ क्रमेण ॥२८॥ शुकार्कजौ चन्द्रमपो न कश्चित्सौम्यः शशी शुकबुधौ रवीन्दू। सोमार्कवकरा रवितस्त्वमित्रा मित्रारिशेषो न सुहन्न शत्रु: ॥२६॥

28-29. NATURAL FRIENDSHIP, NEUTRALITY AND ENMITY BETWEEN PLANETS : The Sun's friends are Jupiter, Mars and the Moon. The Moon's friends are the Sun and Mercury. The Sun, the Moon and Jupiter are friendly to Mars. Venus and the Sun are Mercury's friends. The Sun, Moon and Mars are friendly disposed to Jupiter. Saturn and Mercury are friends of Venus Mercury and Venus are Saturn's friends. The Sun's enemies are Venus and Saturn. The Moon has no enemies. Mercury is inimical to Mars while the Moon is Mercury's enemy. Venus and Mercury are the enemies of Jupiter. The Moon and the Sun are enemies of Venus. Saturn's enemies are the Sun, the Moon and Mars. If a planet is neither a friend nor an enemy of another one, there exists neutrality among them. व्ययाम्युधनखायेषु तृतीये सुहृदः स्थिताः । तत्कालरिपवः षष्डसप्ताष्टकत्रिक.एगाः ॥३०॥

30. TEMPORARY FRIENDSHIP AND ENMITY BETW EEN PLANETS : If a planet is in the 12th, 4th, 2nd,

Chapter 4 57

10th, 11th or 3rd from another planet, then there is temporary friendship between the two. If the position is in the 6th, 7th, 8th, Ist, 5th, or the 9th, then there is temporary enmity among them. (This may be applied to a birth horoscope, horary horoscope or any such other context).

हिम-सम-रिपुसंज्ञा ये निसर्गान्निरुकता हिततम हित मध्यास्तेऽपि तत्कालमित्रेः। रिपुगमसुहृदाख्या: सूतिकाले ग्रहेन्द्रा अघिरिपुरिपुमध्याः शत्रुभिश्चिन्तनीयाः ॥३१॥ 31. FIVE KINDS OF CONSIDERATIONS OF RELA- TIONSHIP : (a) Should there be temporary friensdhip and natural friendship between two planets, then they become extremely friendly (afafr). (b) If there is natural neutrality and temporary friendship, there exists only friendship between two planets. (c) If there is natural enmity and temporary friendship, they are neutral in relationship. (d) Should they be naturally neutral and temporarily inimical, they are only inimical. (e) If there is enmity both naturally and tempora- rily, then they are greatly inimical to each other.

Notes : These rules are simple and need no clarification. However, an example is given thus : Suppose the Sun is in Taurus and Jupiter is in Cancer. They are mutually in 3rd and 11th. Hence, they are temporary friends in the nativity. They are by nature friendly to each other. Hence on account of these two sources of friendship, they become mutually extreme friends as far as the concerned horoscope is concerned. Now, see point (e) above. The Sun and Saturn are mutually inimical. If these two are mutually in 6/8 positions in a chart, they act in a highly inimical manner for each other.

32-33. PLANETARY ASPECTS : Planets lend 1/4th aspect on the 3rd and 10th, half aspect on the 4th and 8th, 3/4 th aspect on 5th and 9th and full aspect on the 7th, from their positions. Saturn has special full aspect on the 3rd and 10th, Jupiter on the 5th and the 9th and Mars on the 4th and 8th. All planets aspect the 7th fully. दिक्स्थानकालचेष्टाकृतं बलं सर्वनिर्णयविधाने। वक्ष्ये चतुःप्रकारं ग्रहस्तु रिक्तो भवेदबलः ॥३४॥

34. PLANETARY STRENGTHS : To assess the auspici- ous and inauspicious effects of a planet, its directional, posi- tional, temporal and motional strengths are important; for, without these, it is considered to be weak. लग्ने जीव-बुधौ दिवाकर-कुजौ व्योम्नि स्मरे भास्करि- बन्धाविन्दुसितौ दिशाकृतमिदं स्वोच्चे स्वकोणे स्वभे। मित्रस्वांशकसंस्थित: शुभफलर्दष्टो बलीयान् ग्रहः स्त्रीक्षेत्रे शशिभार्गवौ नरगृहे शेषा बले स्थानजे ॥३५॥

35. DIRECTIONAL AND POSITIONAL STRENGTHS : Jupiter and Mercury have directional strength while in the ascendant (i.e. East), the Sun and Mars in the 10th (i.e. South), Saturn in the 7th (i.e. West) and the Moon and Venus in the 4th (i.e. North). If a planet is in exaltation, Mulatrikona, own house, friendly house or own Navamsa and aspected by a benefic, it assumes strength. The Moon and Venus are strong in even Rasis while the rest are so in odd Rasis. This is called positional strength.

Notes : Digbala or directional strength is found thus : Take the case of Jupiter. He gets full strength, under this heading, of 60 shashtiamsas, if he is on the cusp of the ascend- ant. If he is on the seventh cusp (i.e. 7th Bhava Madhya), his Digbala is nil. In other places, it should be worked out by rule of three process.

To speak deeply, Sthana Bala or positional strength is made up of :

Chapter 4 59

(a) Uchcha Bala (exaltation strength) (b) Sapta Vargaja Bala (c) Ojayugma Rasyamsa Bala (i.e. strength on account of odd and even Rasis and such Navamsas) (d) Kendra Bala (angles) (e) Drekkana Bala (Decanates)

These five kinds of strength denote the positional strength of a planet, which from part of shadbala. For fuller information, please see Ch. 27 and Ch. 28 of my English version of BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA.

जीवार्कास्फ जितोऽह्नि विच्च सततं मन्देन्दुभौमा निशि होरामासदिनाब्दपाश्च बलिनः सौम्याः सितेऽन्येऽसिते। संग्रामे जयिनो विलोमगतयः संपूर्णगावो ग्रहाः सूर्येन्दू पुनरुत्तरेण बलिनौ सत्योक्तचेष्टाबले ॥३६॥ 36. TEMPORAL AND MOTIONAL STRENGTHS : The Sun, Jupiter and Venus acquire strength during day time while Saturn, the Moon and Mars become strong during night time. Mercury acquires vigour at all times. The Horabala goes to Hora lord. masa bala (HrH=month) to the lord of the month, Dina bala to the lord of the week day of birth and Abda (year) bala is credited to the lord of the year of birth. Malefies get strength in Dark Half while benefics become strong in Bright Half. The planet that is victorious in war, that is in its retro- grade motion, or that is not combust become strong. The lumi- naries get strength in northern course. This is how Satyacharya detailed motional strength. Notes : Each day from one Sun rise to the next one is divided into 24 horas (or hours). The planet ruling the hour of birth is called Hora'lord and gets 60 shashtiamsas. The first hora of the day is ruled by the lord of the week day itself. For example, Mars rules the opening hora of Tuesday. The second one is ruled by the lord of the sixth week day. The third one is ruled by lord of the sixth week day counted from the second hora lord. Still an easy method is suggested here, so that the

60 Saravali

reader need not memorise or make cumbersome calculations. Just note the first hora lord and count every alternative week day lord backwards. You get the hora lord successively. For example, Saturday has first hora ruled by Saturn, second by Jupiter, third by Mars, fourth by the Sun and so on and so forth. And calculations of Kala Hora should be done with reference to Mean local time.

उत्तरमयनं प्राप्ता: शुककुजार्केन्द्रमन्त्रिरो बलिनः। याम्यं शशिरविपुत्रौ द्वयेऽपि शशिजः स्ववर्गस्थः ॥३७॥

37. AYANA BALA : Venus, Mars, the Sun and Jupiter are strong in Uttarayana while the Moon and Saturn are strong in Dakshinayana. Mercury is strong in both the cases. This is called Ayana Bala.

पुंस्त्रीनपुंसकाख्याः सूर्यान्निर्गत्य सदा नवोदिता यवनराजमतम्॥३८॥ 38. DREKKANA BALA : Male planets are strong in the first decanate, female planets in the third decanate and neutral planets in the second decanate of a Rasi. Planets are strong only when they are away from the Sun, as per Yavanas प्राग्रात्रिभागेऽतिबल: शशाङ्: शुको निशार्धेऽ्वनिजो निशान्ते। प्रातर्बुधो मध्यदिने च सूर्य: सर्वत्र जीवोडर्कसुतो दिनान्ते ॥३६॥

39. TRIBHAGA BALA OR TRIAMSA BALA : The - Moon, Venus and Mars get this strength in the first, second and third parts of the night respectively. This is similarly enjoyed by Mercury, the Sun and Saturn in day time while Jupiter has it always irrespective of day or night.

Notes : (a) Whether it is day birth or night birth, Jupiter gets 60 shashtiamsas of Triamsa Bala. (b) Additionally, one of Moon, Venus and Mars, or one of Mercury, Sun and Saturn get this strength according to birth being in night or day.

For Example, there occurs a birth at 14 ghatis after night fall while the night duration is 30 ghatis. So to say, birth is in the second one third of the night. As suggested, the strength

Chapter 4 61

of 60 shashtiamsas, on this score goes to Venus, This is again 60 shashtiamsas.

मन्दारबुधगुरुसिता: शशिसूर्यावुत्तरोत्तरं बलिनः । स्वाभाविकबलमेतद्बनसाम्ये चिन्तयेत् प्राज्ञः।४०।।

40. NAISARGIKA BALA (NATURAL STRENGTH) : Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Moon and Sun are stronger than the other in the ascending order. (This is called natural strength). Should there be similarity in other strengths, then the one with greater natural strength prevails.

Notes : Naisargika bala accrues to a planet according to its brightness. This is constantly expressed and is not variable. The Sun is the most luminous body and hence its natural strength is the highest. The darkest body Saturn gets the least. See the following table for an easy grasp :

Sun : 1.000 Rupa Moon 0.857 Rupa Mars 0.286 Rupa Mercury : 0.429 Rupa Jupiter : 0.571 Rupa Venus : 0.714 Rupa Saturn : 0.143 Rupa

(One Rupa equals 60 Shashtiamsas)

Chapter 5 Miscellaneous Matters

राशिप्रभेदसंज्ञः कथितो ग्रहयोनिभित्तिरध्यायः। सर्वव्यापकमधुना कर्थयष्ये मिश्रकं नाम ॥१॥

1. After discussing the Chapters Rasi Prabheda (Ch. 3) and Graha yoni Bheda or Graha Gunadhyaya (Ch. 4), I now explain Misrakadhyaya (i.e. Miscellaneous Chapter) which is the most supreme of all.

दीप्तः स्वस्थो मुदितः शान्तः शक्तो निपीडितो भीतः। विकलः खलश्च कथितो नवप्रकारो ग्रहो हरिखा ॥२॥ स्वोच्चे भवत च दीप्तः स्वस्थः स्वगृहे सुहृद्गृहे मुदितः । शान्त: शुभवर्गस्थः शक्तः स्फुटकिरणजालश्च ।।३।। विकलो रविलुप्तकरो ग्रहाभिभूतो निपीडितश्चवम्। पापगणस्थशच खलो नीचे भीतः समाख्यातः।।४।।

2-4. AVASTHAS OR STATES OF PLANETS : Planets have nine states of being, viz. Deepta, Svastha, Mudita, Santa, Sakta, Nipeedita, Bhita, Vikala and Khala. A planet in its exal- tation is said to be in Deeptavastha. In its own house, it is in Svasthavastha, friendly house Muditavastha, in beneficial Vargas Santavastha, with bright rays Saktavastha, in combus- tion Vikalavastha, if defeated in planetary war Nipeedita, in malefic Vargas Khalavastha, and if in fall in Bhitavastha.

Notes : The indications of the above mentioned Avasthas are given below :

Deepta (दीप्त) = radiant Svastha (स्वस्थ) = confident Mudita (मुदित) = rejoiced Santa (शान्त) == peaceful Sakta (शक्त) strong

Chapter 4 63

Nipeedita (निपीडित) = oppressed or hurt

Bhita (भीत) = alarmed

Vikala (विकल) mutilated

With the help of the said explanations, we can easily understand the effects such planets will reveal.

The Sun and the Moon are not subjected to Nipeedita state as they do not involve in planetary war. Vikalavastha does not apply to the Sun for he does not get combust but is the cause of combustion. Saktavastha can however be applied to the Sun too as he is obscured in solar eclipse.

Apart from the said nine states, Sanketa Nidhi enlists 12 kinds of different states of planets. Please see for more details, Ch. V ibid.

There are 27 Graha Samayas (ग्रह समय) i.e. planetary conditions. These will help us know as to what a planet is doing at a particular moment, with reference to either birth or query. Such positions reveal specifie results. How to calculate these positions and the effects thereof are noted below :

Find out the number of signs from Aries to ascendant. Again find out in what number of sign, the planet for which Hq4 (Samaya) is required, counted from Aries. Multiply these figures mutually and again the latest product be multiplied by the total number of Dasa period years of the planet as per Vimshottari dasa scheme. Divide this by 27 and the remainder indicates Graha Samaya (Some scholars, however, advise that the planet's position is to be counted from Lagna instead of Aries. It is wrong counting the planet's position from Aries as the sloka clearly says मेषादिस्थितखेचरान् vide Jotisharnara Navaneetam) Let us assume that in Virgo Lagna chart, the Moon is in Sagittarius. Hence, we count six signs from Aries through Virgo Ascendant and get 6. Again from Aries to Sagtttarius (Moon sign) we get 9. Multiply 9 by 6 to get 54. The dasa period of the Moon is 10 as per Vimshottari dasa. When we multiply 54 by 10, we get 540. This when

64 Saravali

divided by 27 yields no balance and hence the 27th Samaya is denoted. Now the scheme of Samayas and their effects : 1. Snana : good family, children, respect, success and position. 2. Vastradharana : precious stones, money, position and clothes.

3. Pundradharana : dear to people, gains in foreign count- ries, hard work and honour. 4. Upadesa : lands, conveyances and happiness. 5. Siva Pooja : fond of lands, royal wrath, expénses and litigations.

4. Aaposana : wealth, fond of wicked people.

5. Vishnvarchana : bile, grief, highly learned.

6. Vipraradhana : fortune, gains from lands, success over enemies, rich relatives.

7. Namaskara : soft-spoken, Conveyances and Capability to speak on either side in arguments. 10. Adri Pradakshina : bilious diseases, dysentery, litiga- tions and penalties.

8. Vaisyadeva : position with king, good family, peren- nial progress.

9. Athidhi Satkara : Cheat, jimmicks and monetary gains.

10. Bhojana : sick, dismissed from the circle, cheating.

11. Ambhapana : bad meal, bad acts.

12. Ahamkara : egoism and enmity with people.

13. Tamboola : good position, high learning, money and fame of high order. 17. Nripalapa : respect, pions disposition, diviee cows.

14. Kireetadharana : big position in army, learned, wealthy.

Chapter 5 65

19. Ekanta Sambhashana : lazy, soft-spoken. 20. Aalasya : abundant education, lazy, careless. 21. Sayana : very short-tempered, sick, disputes in family 22. Amritapana : foolish, harmful, blaming elders, des- truction (Some texts prescribe good results which only seem to be sensible.) 23. Madhupana : health, good children, beautiful wife, rich food. 24. Dhanarjana : respect, much wealth, skilful. 25. Bhikshatana : loss, bad teaching. 26. Nidra : long lasting diseases, drunkard. 27. Sambhoga : attached to base women, cunning and revengeful.

दीप्ते विचरति पुरुषः प्रतापविषमाग्निदग्धरिपुवर्गः। लक्ष्म्यालिङ्गितदेहो

5. EFFECTS OF A RADIANT PLANET: Should a planet be in Deepta state (radiant) at birth the native burns his enemies with the fire of his valour. He gathers all kinds of wealth. His (band of) eleplants soak the surface of the earth with the juice or ichor exuding from their temples. (That is, the native will own a large number of elephants. See the simulta- neous literary ability of Kalyana Varma. A number of such comparisons can be found in this work.)

Note : Please see notes under sloka 13 of this chapter for more information.

स्वस्थः करोति जन्मनि रत्नानि सुखानि कनकपरिवारान्। नृ पतेर्दण्डपतित्वं गृहधान्यकुटुम्बपरिवृद्धिम् ॥६॥

6. EFFECTS OF A CONFIDENT PLANET : Should a planet be in Svastha (confident) state at birth, the native acquires gold, family etc. He will be a justice in a king's employ. He will own houses and will amass grains. His family will prosper.

66 Saravali

Notes: This simply means that the native will acquire jewels, is capable of holding an important legal position, and will own houses. He will be never short of eating comforts.

मुदिते विलसति मुदितो विलासिनीकनकरत्नपरिपूर्णः । विजिंतसकलारिपक्षः समस्तसुखभाङ् नरो भर्वत ॥७॥ 7. EFFECTS OF A REJOICING PLANET : If a planet is in Mudita (rejoicing) state at birth the native will be pleasingly disposed, will have wife, gold, diamonds etc. will win the entire band of his foes, and will enjoy all kinds of comforts in life. शान्ते प्रशान्तचित्तः सुखधनभागी महीपतेः सचिवः। विद्वान् परोपकारी धर्मपरो जायते सुभगः ॥८॥ 8. EFFECTS OF A PEACEFUL PLANET : If a planet is in Santa or peaceful state at birth, the native will have peaceful mind, comfort and wealth. He will be a king's minister, will be learned, helpful to others, religious and fortunate.

स्त्रीवस्त्रमाल्यगन्धैविलसति पुरुषः सदा विततकीतिः। दयितः सर्वजनस्य च शक्ताख्ये भवति विख्यातः ॥६।।

9. EFFECTS OF A SAKTA PLANET : If a planet is in Sakta state (i.e. strong or powerful by virtue of being with bright rays) at birth, the native will have wife, clothes, scents, garlands etc. He will be famous, liked by all and have his · name spread all over.

दुःखर्व्याधिभिररिभिः प्रपीडयते पीडिताख्ये तु। देशाद्देशं विचरत बन्धुवियोगाभिसंतप्तः ॥।१०।।

10. EFFECTS OF A HURT PLANET : If a planet is in Pidita (hurt or oppressed) state at birth, the native will be subjected to grief and sickness and will have enemies. He will be deprived of his own people and wander from one country to the other (i.e. he will not live permanently in one place but will wander all over),

Chapter 5 67

बहुसाधनोऽपि राजा प्रध्वस्तबलः प्रपोडितो रिपुणा। नाशमुपयाति विजितो भीते दन्यं यरं प्राप्तः॥११।

11. EFFECTS OF AN ALARMED PLANET: Should a planet be in Bhita (alarmed) state at birth, the native, even if he were a king with varied paraphernalia, will be troubled by enemies. He will lose his men. He will be defeated and will become poor.

Notes : If a planet is in fall at birth, its effects are that even a rich person loses everything and becomes poor. He will not have any relatives. This is more so if the planet rules the horoscope, without Neecha Bhanga.

स्वस्थानपरिभ्रष्टः क्लिष्टो मलिनः प्रयाति परदेशम्। विध्वस्तबलो विकले रिपुबलसंचकितचित्तरच ॥१२।।

12. EFFECTS OF A MUTILATED PLANET: If a planet is in Vikala (mutilated) state at birth, the native will be deprived of his place or position, dirty-hearted, poor and will wander here and there. He will be frightened by his enemies.

स्त्रीभरणदुःखतप्तः समस्तधननाशकलुषितमनस्कः। न जहाति शोकभारं कथमपि खलसंज्ञिते पुरुषः ॥१३॥ 13. EFFECTS OF A PLANET IN KHALAVASTA: Should a planet be in Khalavastha (i.e. in various malefic divi- sions), the native will grieve in sorrow due to maintaining his wife, (i.e. the native cannot maintain even his wife), will lose all his wealth, will have an impure mind and be never free from miseries.

Notes : The Avastha of a planet can reveal special effects in its dasa concerned. See the following explanations :

1. Deepta : Kingly status, enthusiasm, courage, money, conveyances, gain of wife and children, happiness, honour among relatives, learning and royal honours (Sarvartha Chinta- mani, Ch. 13).

68 Saravali

Destruction of enemies, acquiring elephants etc., courage and blessings of Lakshmi in all respects. (Manasagari, Ch. 4) 2. Svastha: Comforts, wealth through king, learning, fame, delight, greatness, wife, children and virtues. (a. fa.)1 Conveyances, wealth, jewels, abodes, position as army chief in the king's employ and success over enemies. (HT· HTo)2 3. Mudita (Harsha) : Clothes, lands, scents, sons, money' courage, listening to Puranas, songs, charitability, conveyances and ornaments (स० चि.) Happiness of ornaments and jewels, delighted state of mind and destruction of enemies. (HTo HTo) 4. Santa : Happiness, courage, lands, sons, wife convey- ances, learning, and royal honour (Ho fao). Delighted state, minister of a king, many sons and friends, liking for sastras, and helping others. (Ho Ho) 5. Heena : Loss of position, enmity with relatives, blames, mean profession, forsaken by his own men and troubled by diseases. (Hc fao) Poverty, loss of money, fear from enemies and king, interest in illegal acts, loss of splendour and enmity with own men. (मा० सा०) 6. Dukhita (inimical house) : All kinds of miseries, displea - sure from kings and thieves and wandering in foreign countries. (स० चि०) 7. Vikala : Mental dejection, death of father etc., harm to wife, sons and conveyances. Loss of strength, trouble from enemies, loss of minds, friendship with bad people, wandering and obeying others. (मा० सा०) 8. Khala : Disputes, separation from his own men, loss of father and destruction of wealth and lands. (H› fro)

1. स. चि .= Sarvartha Chintamani-Ch. 13, 2. मा. सा =Manasagari-Ch. 14.

उच्चराशौ विलोमे च फलं नाऽ्न्यरिहेष्यते। कालस्याऽतिबहुत्वाच्च तथा स्वोच्चेऽतिवक्रिते ॥१४॥

14. RETROGRESSION IN EXALTATION: If a planet is retrograde while in exaltation, it produces no effects (i.e. nothing good will happen). This is the view held by some. Even if it is in exaltation by its entry in retrograde motion from the next sign, (for example, Jupiter entering Cancer from Leo), the effect is same, for it takes unduly long time in such traversion.

Notes : afaas indicates a planet (i.e. from Mars to Saturn) entering the previous sign while in its (R) motion, for example from Taurus to Aries.

Many writers hold the view that a planet if be retrograde while in exaltation loses its potence and conversely if in fall while in its retrograde motion, it acquires strength and acts favourably.

स्वोच्चाश्रिताः श्रेष्ठबला भवन्ति मूलत्रिकोणे स्वगृहे च मध्याः। इष्टेक्षिता मित्रगृहाश्रिता वा वोर्य कनोयः समुनोद्वहन्ति ॥१५॥ 15. DIFFERENT EFFECTS : A planet in exaltation is considered highly strong. It is medium in strength in its Mulatrikona Rasi or own house. Its strength is only nominal if it be aspected by a friendly planet or be in a friendly Rasi.

Notes : The idea behind the suggestion is that a planet in a friendly Rasi or with a friendly planet's aspect is not superior to the one in its Moolatrikona Rasi while the one occupying its Moolatrikona Rasi is second in strength to the planet that is in its exaltation.

3 70 Saravali

शुक्लप्रतिपद्दशके मध्यबलः कीर्त्यते यवनवृद्धः। श्रेष्ठो द्वितीयदशके स्वल्पबलश्चन्द्रमास्तृतीये च ॥१६॥

आहितकलासमूहः प्रसन्ननिजमण्डलः सुपरिपूर्णः । अप्रतिहतमिह कुरुते भूपतिबलमुडगरगाधिपतिः।।१७।।

16-17. The elders among Yavanas say that the Moon is of medium strength for ten days commencing from Sukla Padyami, i.e. first day of Bright Lunar Half. During the following ten days (i.e. from the 11th day or Ekadasi of Bright Lunar Half through the 5th day or Panchami of Dark Lunar Half or Krishna Paksha), she is exceedingly strong. And during the third ten-day period (i.e. from the 6th day or Shashti of Dark Lunar Half through the New Moon day or Amavasya) she has very little strength. If at birth the Moon has brilliant rays, is bright circled and full, it makes the native an unencounterable king. Notes: प्रसन्न=bright. मण्डल = circle or disc of the Sun/Moon, and hence it is "bright-circled".

This sloka highlights the importance of full Moon in a horoscope.

चन्द्राध्यासितराशेर्नाथो लग्नाधिपोऽपि वा यस्य। केन्द्रे सुरपतिमन्त्री वयसो मध्ये सुखं तस्य ॥१८।। 18. GOOD RESULTS IN MID-LIFE: If at birth the lord of Moon sign or the lord of the ascendant or Jupiter be in Kendra (angle), the native is happy in the middle of his life. Notes: Prithuyasas in Horasara states that if the lord of the Moon sign or the lord of the ascendant be in angle along with Jupiter, the native becomes happy in the middle of his life (See Ch. 16, sloka 14). Kalyana Varma stipulates that Jupiter in angle singly is enough to cause the said results.

राशेस्तदीश्वरस्य च बलेन परिकल्प्यमृक्षभेदफलम्। युगपत्फलोपलब्धे रवधृतिरेकस्य कर्तव्या॥१६॥

Chapter 5 71

होराग्रहबलसाम्ये निसर्गजं चिन्तनीयमाचायेः। लग्नाधिपतेस्तुल्यं बलमिह चूडाम रिगर्वदति ॥२०॥

19-20. The effects revealed by various Rasis will corres- pond to the strengths of their lords. Should two planets have identical strength, the one with higher Naisarga bala (natural strength-vide sloka 40, Ch. IV supra) will prevail. According to Chudamani Acharya the ascendant's strength equals that of its lord.

Notes : Suppose, the lagna lord and 6th lord have equal strength in a Leo Lagna chart, the lord of Lagna being the Sun and the 6th lord being Saturn. Among these two, the Sun has more Naisarga bala than Saturn and hence the native is stron- ger than his enemies.

विशतिरंशाः सिंहे त्रिकोणमपरे स्वभवनमर्कस्य। उच्चं भागत्रितयं वृष इन्दोश्च त्रिकोरमपरेऽशाः ।।२१।।

द्वादशभागा मेषे त्रिकोणमपरे स्वभं तु भौमस्य। उच्चबलं कन्यायां बुधस्य तिथ्यंशकः सदा चिन्त्यम् ॥२२॥ परतस्त्रिकोणजातं पञ्चभिरंशः स्वराशिजं परतः। दशभागा ईज्यस्य च त्रिकोणमपरे स्वभं चापे ॥।२३।

शुकस्य तु त्रिकोणं पञ्चभिरपरे स्वभं जूके। कुम्भे त्रिकोणनिजमे रविजस्य यथा रवेः सिंहे ॥२४॥ 21-24. SWAKSHETRA, MULATRIKONA ETC. : In Leo, upto 20 degrees, it is the Sun's Mulatrikona and the rest is his own house. The Moon's exaltation zone is the first 3° of Taurus, with the remaining portion being her Mulatrikona. Upto 12° in Aries, Mars is in Mulatrikona. The rest is his own house. Mercury in Virgo has the first 15° as exaltation, the next 5° (i.e. 15° l' to 20°) as Mulatrikona and the remain- ing portion is termed is own house. In Sagittarius, first 10° is Jupiter's Mulatrikona, with the rest being own house. The first 5° in Libra is Mulatrikona of Venus and the balance his

72 Šaravali

own house. Aquarius is Mulatrikona for Saturn in the initial 20 degree portion (as the Sun has in Leo) and the last 10° in Aquarius is his own house.

Notes : Mercury is the only one planet that is exalted in its own house. Hence, in Virgo, it has first 15 degrees as its exaltation, the next 5 degrees as Mulatrikona zone is a stronger placement in preference to its own house zone. The exaltation zone is still superior.

स्वोच्चस्थितः शुभफलं प्रकरोति पूर्ण नीचर्क्षगस्तु विफलं रिपुमन्दिरेऽल्पम्। पादं शुभस्य हितभे स्वगृहे तदध पादत्रयं गगनगः स्थितवांस्त्रिकोणे ॥२५॥ 25. EFFECTS OF EXALTED PLANETS ETC .: If a planet is exalted, it gives auspicious results, to full extent. It is futile if in debilitation. The results are limited in an enemy's camp. The auspicious effects given by a planet are 1/4th in a friendly house, 2 in own house and 3/4th in Mulatrikona Rasi.

Notes : The effects revealed by a planet are : 25% of its full capacity if in a friendly house, 50% in own house, 75% in Mulatrikona and 100% in exaltation house. In enemy's camp, it is less than 25%. Thus its status gradually increases as under : Enemy's house, friendly camp, own house or Swakshetra, Mulatrikona and exaltation Rasi. These positions become better in the ascending order. While in debilitation, it gives no auspicious effects.

Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga, is however a different aspect, and should not be handy for all practical purposes. नोचर्क्षगः सकलमेव करोति पापं न्यूनं च किचिदरिभे विफलं स्वतुङ्ग। पादत्रयं हितगृहे विहगोऽशुभस्य स्वर्क्षे दलं च चरणं स्थितवांस्त्रिकोणे ॥२६॥

Cha pter 5 73

26. INAUSPICIOUSNESS OF PLANETS : A planet is fully inauspicious if it is in its debilitation; it is somewhat better in inimical house (than in debilitation). Its inauspicious effects are nil if it is exalted, 3/4th in friendly house, } in own house and 4th in Mulatrikona Rasi.

Notes : This is a converse process while the previous sloka explains auspicious results. The inauspicious effects are 100% in debilitation, somewhat less if in inimical Rasi, nil if exalted, 75% in friendly Rasi, 50% in own house and 25% in Mulatrikona. Draw a comparison as under :

Position Good Bad

Debilitation Ni1 100% Inimical limited better than fall Friendly 25% 75% Swakshetra 50% 50% Mulatrikona 75% 25% Exaltation 100% nil

For example, from the two slokas in question, we can infer that if a Swakshetra planet can be auspicious to the extent of 50%, a planet in friendly house can give good effects only to the tune of 25%. औत्पातिकाः सवितृलुप्तकरा विरुक्षा नीचं गता रिपुगृहं च नभरचरेन्द्राः । युद्धे जिता: शुभफलानि विनाशयन्ति पापानि यानि सुतरां परिवर्धयन्ति ॥।२७।।

27. The planetary combination that produces utpata (ayTa), the planet that is combust by the Sun, with less brilli- ance, which is in debilitation, in enemy's camp or that is defeated in planetary war : such a planet not only loses its potence to be auspicious but also becomes capable of bestowing malefic effects in full.

Notes : The rule of combustion does not apply to the Sun while defeat in war does not apply to both the Sun and

74 Saravali

the Moon. The nodes do not also involve in war nor do they have rays to become combust, as they are only mathematical points.

28-30. EFFECTS ACCORDING TO EXALTATION ETC .: A planet in exaltation gives all kinds of wealth. It confers ministership or leadership over army, if in Mulatrikona Rasi. If it is in own house, it gives happiness, money, grains, wealth etc. In a friendly house, it gives fame, splendour, abundant good fortune (अतिस भगं), long-lasting wealth and also wealth through king. A planet that is in its own hora makes one courageous.

Notes : The word "Hora" in sloka 30 is generally interpreted as house so that it applies to all the seven planets. But, in this context, in sloka 29, "own house" has already been discussed and hence, the word "Hora" in sloka 30 means "half" i.e. lunar or solar hora. Thus, the last line of sloka 30 should be applied only to the position of the Sun and that of the Moon. This is the strict translation aspect, while in practical aspect, "hora" can mean house and a person can be valorous if a planet is in own house (or if the luminaries are in their own hora). स्वद्रेक्काणबलेनाहीनो गुराभाजनं ग्रहः कुरुते। स्वनवांशकबलयुक्तः करोति पुरुषं प्रसिद्धं च ॥३१॥ सप्तांशकबलसहित: साहसिकं वित्तकीर्त्याढचम्। द्विरसांशबलसमेतः कर्मरतं परोपकारकं चैव ॥३२॥

Chapter 5 75

त्रिशांशबलेन तथा विकसत्सौख्यं गुरान्वितं कुर्यात्। शुभदर्शनबलसहितः पुरुषं कुर्याद्धनान्वितं ख्यातम्। सुभगं प्रधानमखिलं सुरूपदेहं सुसौख्यं च।।३३।। 31-33. A planet in its own decanate confers virtues while the one in own Navamsa makes one famous. Courage, wealth and fame are bestowed by a planet occupying its own Sapthamsa. One becomes devout and helpul if a planet is in its own Dvadasamsa. A planet in own Trimsamsa gives happiness and good qualities. When a planet is aspected by a benefic planet, the native becomes wealthy, famous, fortunate, chief of all, beautiful and happy. Notes : We have already known to work out the various divisions in the earlier chaptcrs. Different uses are to be suita- bly understood for different divisions.

स्थानबलेन समेतः स्थिरसौख्यसुहच्च भाग्याढयः। धीरो निश्चलचित्तः स्वतन्त्रकर्मा भवेन्मनुजः ॥३५॥

34-35. If a planet is with ojha or Yugma Bala (i.e. strength by being in male or female Rasis), the native is worshipped by the public, expert in arts, pleased, immune to sickness and prone to fear of other worlds. A planet with positional strength gives perennial happiness, friendship, courage, fixity of mind and independent profession or work. Notes: The Moon and Venus get each half rupa by staying in an even Rasi. Another half rupa is obtained by their stay in even Navamsa. Should they be in odd Rasi or Navamsa, their score is nil on this count. Similarly, odd Rasis and odd Navamsas give half rupa each, for the rest of the 5 planets. This strength is designated as ojhayugma Rasyamsa bala (or strength by odd/even Rasi and Navamsa position) as shown under the heading positional strength, vide notes for sloka 35, Ch. IV.

36-38. A planet with directional strength takes the native to the direction ruled by it and gives clothes, jewels, conveyances etc. And the native is happy in such a direction. A planet with Ayana Bala similarly takes t'e native to its direction and confers various kinds of wealth apart from fame. In both the cases, the planets should not be combust or debilitated. If a planet has Cheshta Bala, it sometimes gives kingdom, sometimes respect, sometimes money and yet some- times increases the fame of the native.

Notes : We have already explained Digbala or direc- tional strength, vide notes under sloka 35 of Chapter 4. Suppose, Saturn is in the 7th, without combustion or debilitation, then it takes one towards west (see sloka 8, Ch.4) and gives success. Similarly, Ayana Bala and Cheshta Bala are explained in slokas 36-37 of the previous chapter.

वक्रिशास्तु महावीर्याः शुभा राज्यप्रदा ग्रहाः। पापा व्यसनिनां पुंसां कुर्वन्ति च वृथाटनम् ॥३६॥

39. EFFECTS OF RETROGRADE PLANETS : A benefic if retrograde is strong and is capable of conferring kingdom. If a malefic is retrograde, it causes grief and purposeless wandering. Note : According to Bhavartha Ratnakara, a malefic does good if in retrogression, see sloka 16, Ch. 13. But Jataka Tatwa (A-71) attributes strength equal to exaltation to all such planets irrespective of being malefic or benefic.

Chapter 5 77

स्वस्थशरोर समागम सुकरोद्भवजयबलेन विदधाति। शुभमखिलं विहगेन्द्रो राज्यं च विनिजितारातिम् ॥४०॥ 40. AUSPICIOUS PLANETS : A planet with clear rays, or that is conjunct with the Moon or that has won in a plane- tary war, is capable of bestowing complete happiness and kingdom that cannot be siezed. रात्रिदिवाब लपूर्णर्भूगजलाभेन शौर्यपरिवृद्धया। मलिनयति शत्रुपक्षं भजति च लक्ष्मीं नभश्चरः पुरुषः॥४१॥ 41. DIVA BALA AND RATRI BALA : A planet that has Diva bala or Ratri bala is eapable of conferring lands, elephants etc. Such a native defeats his enemies with courage and achieves kingdom and wealth.

Notes : Diva Ratri bala is also called Nathonnatha Bala which forms part of Kala Bala. Mars, Saturn and the Moon get this at night while Jupiter, Venus and the Sun get this during day. Mercury is strong in day and in night. For details, see my English version of BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA.

द्विगुणं द्विगुणं दद्यु र्वर्षाधिपमासदिवसहोरेशाः। कमपरिवृद्धया सौख्ं स्वदशासु धनं च कीतिं च ।४२।।

42. EFFECTS OF LORD OF YEAR ETC. : The lords of the year, month, week and Hora improve two-fold in their dasas happiness, wealth and fame respectively, that is, the lord of the month gives two fold results as against year lord, the week lord two fold of month lord and the hora lord two fold of week lord.

Notes : Here, hora means Kala Hora or planetary hour, which has been narrated in the notes under sloka 36, Ch. IV. पक्षबलाद्रिपुनाशं रत्नाम्बरहस्तिसंपदं दद्यः। स्त्रीकनकभूमिलाभान् कीतिश्च शशाङ्करधवलाम्।४३।। 43. EFFECTS OF PAKSHA BALA : A planet with Paksha

78 Šaravali

Bala destroys enemies and confers diamonds, robes, convey- ances, wife, gold, land and fame. Notes : Benefics get Paksha Bala during bright fortnight while malefics get this strength in dark fortnight. Malefics are the Sun, Mars, Saturn, decreasing Moon and ill-associated Mercury. Benefics are Venus, Jupiter, well associated Mercury and waxing Moon. For calculations of Paksha Bala, please consult notes given in my English translation of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra.

सकलबलभारभारितनिर्मलकरजालभासुरा: सततम्। राज्यं ग्रहा: प्रदद्युः सौख्यं च मनोरथादधिकम्॥४४॥

44. EFFECTS OF A PLANET WITH ALL SOURCES OF STRENGTHS : Should a planet have all kinds of strengths stated so far, and be bright with unobscured rays, it confers kingdom exceeding the desires of the native. Notes: In short, clues have so far been briefly given to proceed on the basis of Shadbala calculations. Notes have been made, in this context, as elaborate as possible inasmuch as we have given relevant detailed explanatory notes. The zealous reader will realize our limitation and will do well to consult Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (my English translation) and also Sripati Paddhati (translation by Sri V.S. Sastri).

आचारसत्यशुभशौचयुता: सुरूपा- स्तेजस्विनः कृतिविदो द्विजदेवभक्ताः।

सौम्यग्रहैर्बलयुतैः पुरुषा भवन्ति ॥४५॥

45. BENEFIC PLANETS WITH ALL-ROUND STREN- GTH : If, at birth, benefic planets possess all-round strength, the native will have good habits, be truthful, upright (Tt), beautiful, splendorous, and be an expert in all deeds, respectful towards the wise and Gods, and will be blessed with scents, garlands, robes, ornaments etc.

Chapter 5 79

MALEFICS WITH ALL-ROUND STRENGTH : Should malefics be with such all-round strength at birth, the native will be a miser, will do bad acts, be selfish, jealous of virtuous people, intent on promoting quarrels, wicked, tortu- rous, dirty, ungrateful, slanderous and ugly. र वमित्रक्षेत्रसंस्थानां ग्रहारगां बालसंज्ञिका। स्वत्रिकोणगतानां च कुमारी नाम कीरतिता ।।४७।। ग्रहारगां स्वोच्चसंस्थानां युवतिसंज्ञिका भवेत्। शत्रुक्षेत्रगतानां च वृद्धा नाम तथेरिता ॥४८।। नोचगानां ग्रहारां च दशा मरणसंज्ञिता। तत्तत्फलसमायुक्ता ग्रहारां तु दशा भवेत् ॥४ह। बालः सुखी सुशीलश्च यौवनरवनीश्वरः। वृद्धर्व्याऋणे वृद्धिर्मरणे मरणं व्ययम् ॥५०॥

47-50. PLANETARY STAGES (दशा or अवस्था) AND EFFECTS THEREOF: It is boyhood (बाल) if a planet is in its own house or friendly house. In Mulatrikona Rasi, it is in youth (कुमार) and in adolescence (युवति) in exaltation. It is said to be in old stage (बृद्धावस्था) if it occupies an inimical house. A planet in debilitation is in extremis (H7). The corresponding effects are felt in the respective planetary dasas i.e. periods. The results for such stages are respectively happiness, virtue, kingdom, sickness with debts, and death or expenses. Notes: The दशा or अवस्था explained a bove are by virtue of a planet's occupying different Rasis. Jataka Tatwa (A-68 and 69) states a different rule. In odd signs, according to the longitude obtained by the planet, it is in infancy, boyhood,

80 Saravali

adolescence, advanced age and in extremis. Each Rasi is to be made in 5 parts of 6° each. This order is reverse in the case of even signs, i.e. "infancy" is at the end, preceded by boyhood and so on and so forth. A planet in adolescent stage is capable of giving full results (i.e. 12° 1' to 18° of odd or even Rasi). पुंराशिगैग्रहैन्द्रैर्धोराः संग्रामरक्षिणो बलिभिः। निश्चेष्डः सुकठोरा क्रूरा मूर्खाश्च जायन्ते ॥५१॥ युवतिभवनस्थितेषु च मृदवः संग्रामभीरुका: पुरुषाः। जलकुसुमवस्त्रनिरता: सौम्या: कल्याः स्वजनहष्टाः ॥५२॥

51-52. EFFECTS OF PLANETS IN ODD AND EVEN RASIS : A planet in odd Rasi with strength makes the native courageous and a warrior. If it is weak in odd Rasi, the native is cruel and dullwitted. A planet in even Rasi gives soft nature, fear for quarrels, love for water, flowers and clothes, good fortune, health and protection of own men.

Chapter 6 (Yoga) Karakas

स्वक्षत्रिकोणतुङ्गस्था यदि केन्द्रेषु संस्थिताः । अन्योन्यं कारकास्ते स्युः केन्द्रेष्वेव हरेमतम् ॥१॥

I. KARAKA PLANETS (PLANETARY CO-WORKERS) : Planets posited in own house, Mulatrikona or exaltation and

Chapter 6 81

simultaneously in (mutual) angles become mutual Karakas or significators. Such kind of yoga Karakas (co-workers) arecounted only in regard to Lagna's angles. This view is held by Acharya Hari.

रवितनयो जूकस्थः कुलीरलग्ने बृहस्पतिहिमांशू। मेषे कुजो रवियुतः परस्परं कारका एते ॥२॥ 2. For example, Saturn in Libra while Cancer ascends containing Jupiter and the Moon, and Mars with the Sun in Aries become mutual Karakas.

Notes : In the said example given by our author, Cancer ascendant has Moon in own house and Jupiter in exaltation; Saturn is exalted in Libra, the 4th from Lagna while Mars is in own house in 10th and the Sun is exalted in the 10th in Aries. Thus, these 5 planets are mutually in angles and either in exaltation or in own house. Hence they promote the mutual significations and act favouring the native. Now, see the chart as per the sloka :

Sun Mars

Lagna Jup Moon

Sat

Some authors (not Kalyana Varma) say that planets mutully angular though not being so from ascendant, become mutual signifactors. But this view is not acceptable to even Chanakya. Kalyana Varma clearly requires the planets to be in angles only from the ascendant and not even from the Moon, not to speak of non-angular state from the ascendant. Horasara, Ch. 16, sloka 11, however takes into consideration such mutuą

82 Saravali

angularity irrespective of Lagna at birth, Now, we have to understand what is the effect of such Karakatwa. By being in such Vargas and also in angles from Lagna, two planets act on behalf of each other. In the example case, though Saturn is the lord of the 8th and evil for Cancer, he will reflect the qualities of other good planets, say Moon-Sun and promotes the pros- perity. Neither the mutual aspect between the Sun and Saturn shall be adverse in this case. तुङ्गसुहत्खगृहांशे स्थिता ग्रहा: कारका: रूमाख्याताः । मेषूरणे च रविरिति विशेषतो वक्ति चाणक्य: ।।३।। 3. Planets posited in exaltation, friendly Rasi, own Rasi or Amsa also become Karakas. The Sun in the 10th as above becomes greatly significant. This is Chanakya's opinion. लग्नस्था: सुखसंस्था दशमस्थाश्चापि कारकाः सवे। एकादशेऽपि केचिद्वाञ्छन्ति न तन्मतं मुनीन्द्रारगाम् ।४।। 4. Planets though not in Vargas like own house become Karakas if they are in Lagna, 4th, 10th or even the 11th. But this view is not acceptable to great sages. Note: The author thus does not subscribe to this view. नोचकुले संभूतः कारकविहगः प्रधानतां याति। क्षितिपतिवंशसमुत्थो भवति नरेन्द्रो न सन्देहः ॥५। कारकभेदो बलवान्मूलं योगेषु कीतितो हरिरा। तस्मात्फलनिर्देशः कारकभेदादिभिर्वाच्यः ।।६।। 5-6. EFFECTS OF (YOGA) KARAKAS (CO-WORKERS): Even though a person may be born in base strata, he will become chief if he has Karaka Grahas. One born in royal family without doubt becomes a king, in such a case. While analysing the Yogas, such Karakatwas are alone important and effects should be declared only on that basis.

रविचन्द्रभौमबुधजीवशुकमौरा दिनादिपतयश्च। मासे चाश्वयुजादौ दिनेश्वरौऽब्दे दिननतेश्च ॥१॥

1. LORD OF WEEK DAY ETC : The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Siturn rule the week days etc. Whichever planet becomes the lord of the first week day in the month of Aswina in the year of Aswina, will become the lord of month and year.

Notes : Whichever planet rules the opening week day of the year shall be the year lord. That is, if a year starts on Monday (ruled by the Moon), the year lord is Moon. Similarly whoever rules the first week day of a month, is designated as lord of the month.

2-3. The fourth planet counted from the lord of the first year rules the second year. Similar counting of fourth lords for the subsequent years should be made to know the lords thereof. There are 24 horas (i.e. planetary hours) in each day (from one Sun-rise to the next Sun-rise). The first Hora is ruled by the lord of the week day while the subsequent ones are ruled by the lords of the sixth week days thereof. Thirty (Savana) days make one (Savana) month. To know the lord of the week day in particular month, the months past should be multiplied by 30, increased by one and divided by 7. The remainder represents the lord of the week day counted from the earlier week day lord.

4. A Savana month has 30 days and each month, viz. Chaitra, Vaisakha etc. commences with the first day of Bright half and ends with the 30th thithi (i.e. New Moon's day or Amavasya).

BHAVA EFFECTS : The good effects relating to a bhava can be better reaped if an enterprise relating to that bhava is started in an ascendant ruled by the lord of that bhava, or when the lord thereof is in an upachaya house, or on the week day, Hora, year or month ruled by that bhava lord. The good effects will be 25% by year lord, 50% by month lord, 75% by lord of week day and 100% by hora lord. Notes : Suppose one wants to buy a conveyance. This aspect is ruled by the 4th lord. Let us assume it is Mercury, Hence a hora ruled by Mercury will be 100% beneficial for that purpose. Alternatively an ascendant ruled by Mercury, or when he is in 3, 6, 10 or 11 of another ascendant may also be useful.

PLANET'S RULERSHIPS : The Sun rules snakes, wool, hills, gold, weapons, poison, fire, medicines, kings, Aryas (or foreigners in general), river banks, forest, wood and Mantras. The Moon indicates poets, flowers, eatables, beads, silver, conch, salt, water, arrow, robes, ornaments, females, ghee, sesamum, oil and sleep. Mars rules blood, copper, army, red cloth, mercury, minerals, earth, king, destruction, swoon- ing. bile and thieves. Mercury rules Vedas, writing, sculpture, medicines, expertise, ministership, speech, jokes, birds, couples, fame, Vanaspathi (i.e. a large forest tree which bears fruit apparently without any blossoms) and gold. Jupiter rules auspiciousness, virtue, physical stoutness, prowess, preceptor- ship, deputation, city, state (province), gold, bed, conveyance, position, grains, residence and sons. Venus rules diamonds, ornaments, marriage, scents, friends, wreaths, females, cow dung, diagnosis (frara apart from meaning diagnosis also indicates end, purity, rope to tying up a calf etc.), education, sexual enjoyment (fagaa), and gold. Saturn is Karaka for lead, zinc, black metals, inferior grains, dead relatives, fools, servants, mean women, salable goods (quza), servants, poor people and self restraint. (ater apart from meaning self rest- raint also means investing with sacred thread which is in vogue to give "second birth" to Brahmins). अर्क: कलिङ्गविषये यवनेषु च चन्द्रमाः । शुकः समतटे जातः सैन्धवेषु बृहस्पतिः ॥१४॥

14-15. PLANETARY PLACES : The Sun rules Kalinga (a Coromandel district), the Moon Yavana (Greek, Mohamme- dan or European countries), Venus plain river banks, Jupiter Sindhu (Indus), Mercury Magadha (southern part of Bihar), Saturn Saurashtra (Gujrat), Mars Ujjain and the nodes i.e. Rahu and Ketu Dravida country (i.e. five tribes : Dravida, Karnataka, Goorjara, Maharashtra and Tailanga). Notes : The reader is profitably referred to Brihat Samhita of Varaha Mihira (Ch. 16) for detailed planetary ruler- ships of countries, rivers, objects etc. Such information may be quite useful in predictive astrology and mundane as trology as well. इति कल्याएवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां कारकाध्याय: सप्तमः ॥७॥ Thus ends the 7th chapter entitled "Karakadhyaya" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

Chapter 8 Copulation (And Conception) राश्यादिफलविभाग: कस्य विधेयो विना समुत्पत्तिम्। आधानमतो वक्ष्ये कारणभूतं समस्तजन्तूनाम् ॥ १॥ अनुपचयराशिसंस्थे कुमुदाकरबान्धवे रुधिरदृष्टे। प्रतिमासं युवतीनां भवतीह रजो ब्रुवन्त्येके।। २॥ इन्दुर्जलं कुजोऽग्निर्जलमस्गथवाग्निरेव पित्तं स्यात। एवं रक्ते क्षुभिते पित्तेन रजः प्रवर्तते स्त्रीषु॥३॥ 1-3. A FEMALE'S MENSTRUATION: Without the know- ledge of conception time, one cannot understand the effects of the various divisions like Rasi. That is why I explain below about conception which is the cause of births of all animals. As a result of Moon's transit in Anupachaya Rasis and in aspect to Mars, a female obtains her menses. The Moon is water and Mars is fire; water produces blood and fire produces bile. When bile is enraged by blood, the woman gets her menstruation.

Chapter 8 87

Notes : Anupachaya Rasis are the houses other than the upachayas. The former are : Ist, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 12th while the latter are 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th. The Moon in Anupachya house and in aspect to Mars while in transit can cause attainment of puberty or the regular monthly course to a female. The Moon in upachaya should be aspected by Jupiter so that the intercourse at that time leads to fruition of conception. Please see Horasara, p. 41 for more relevant information. एवं यद्भवति रजो गर्भस्य निमित्तमेव कथितं तत। उपचयसंस्थे विफलं प्रतिमासं दर्शनं तस्य ॥४॥ उपचयभवने शशभ्द्दृष्टो गुरुणा सुहृद्ध्िरथवासौ। पुंसा करोति योगं विशेषतः शुक्रसंदृष्टः॥५॥ चन्द्रे कुजेन दृष्टे पुष्पवती सह विटेन संयोगम्। राजपुरुषेण रविरगा रविजेनाप्नोति भृत्येन । ६॥ एकेकेन फलं स्याद्दृष्टे नाऽन्येः कुजादिभि: पायैः। स्वेः स्वगृहं त्यक्त्वा गच्छति वेश्यापदं युवतिः॥७॥ 4-7. The menstruation so caused makes the female capable of conception. If the Moon is in upachaya (i. e. 3, 6, 10 and 11), it makes the menses defunct for conception. However, if the Moon in upachaya is aspected by Jupiter or her friends, or especially Venus, the woman affectionately cohabits with the male. If the Moon is aspected by Mars, the female unites with a person other than husband. The Sun if aspecting the Moon indicates a king while Saturn aspecting denotes a servant. Similar inferences should be made if the Moon is aspected by malefics only, without aspect of benefics. If the Moon is aspected by malefics like Mars, then the female gives up her home and becomes a prostitute. Notes : If the Moon is in upachaya but without the aspect of Jupiter, the monthly course at that time does not promote the chance of conception. The other conditions mentioned in these slokas relate to planetary positions at the time of a girl's attaining puberty. (These should not be over-enthusiastically applied to one's regular menses, for some planet or other possibly

88 Saravali

may lend aspect to the Moon, many times when the female gets her monthly course.) The first menses has great bearing on the future of her married life and in olden days (even now in many parts of the country), Ritu Jataka, is cast for the time of puberty. If in the Ritu Jataka. the Moon being aspected by Venus or Mars or Saturn and so on, varius results as attri- buted will come to pass. Similarly, there are specific effects for a girl's attaining puberty on a particular week day, Nakshatra, Karana, Yoga, Tithi, in a particular ascendant and in particular lunar month. For example, puberty occurring while Bharani star rules causes abortions, immorality, barrenness etc. It is inauspicious at the time of Sun-rise, twilights, eclipses, Full Moon days Sun-set, New Moon day,solar ingressions etc. In Aries Ascendant, she becomes adulterous. Similarly in Scorpio Ascendant. Pisces rising bestows a number of children. Such useful information can be elicited from the various classics like Muhurta Darpana, Jyotisha Ratna-mala etc.

8-10. The 7th house from Lagna at the time of copulation indicates the disposition of the couple. If there is a malefic's aspect to the Lagna at the time of copulation, the couple unites angrily and with quarrel. Should it be benefic's aspect, then the sexual enjoyment will be (pleasing) as enumerated by Vatsya- yana Maharshi. If there be both malefic and benefic aspects on the 7ih, the sexual act is mixed in nature. According to one's past deeds, to ripe its fruits, the semen enters the womb and conception ensues. Notes : The author gives tips to choose a proper time for sexual intercourse, so that it confers happiness. Benific's aspect to the 7th house from the ascendant prevailing at that time

Chapter 8 89

leads to a happy sexual act while a malefic's aspect does not, Benefic's aspect to such Lagna causes conception while mixed aspect makes it both unhappy and happy. According to one's past deeds, at the destined moment, the semen enters the womb of a female and conception ensues, so that the soul which already formed part of the semen, reaps the results in its current birth. उपचयगौ रविशुक्रौ बलिनौ पुंसः समांशसंप्राप्तौ। युवतेर्वा कुजचन्द्रौ यदा तदा गर्भसंभवो भवति ॥ ११ ॥ शुक्रार्कभौमशशिभिः स्वांशोपचयस्थितः सुरेज्ये वा। धर्मोदयात्मजस्थे 'बलवति गर्भस्य संभवो भवति ॥ १२॥

11-12. OCCURRENCE OF PREGNANCY : If the transit Sun and Venus be in upachaya Rasis (3, 6, 10 and [1th), with strength, with reference to the male partner's nativity and occupy even Navamsas, there is scope of pregnancy to be caused by the particular intercourse. Similar effects follow if strong Moon and strong Mars be in upachaya Rasis in transit with reference to the female's horocope and be in even Navamsas. Alternatively, Venus, Sun, Mars and Moon should be in upa- chaya houses in own Amsas or Jupiter be in Lagna, 5th or 9th with strength to cause pregnancy. Notes : In the transit Rasi chart, the Sun and Venus should be in 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th from his natal ascendant and should occupy even Navamsas, like Taurus, Cancer, Virgo etc. Such an intercourse will lead to conception. Similarly, Mars and the Moon should be in Upachaya Rasi and in even Navamsa for a female. The third and fourth conditions are simple. It is worthwhile noting what Varaha Mihira denotes in his Brihat Samhita about coition, in the context of obtaining children : The woman should bathe on the fourth day of menses with the herbs mentioned (in Ch. XLVII ibid) and the hymns cited (in slokas 55-70 ibid) should be recited. After this, she should have a union with her loving husband to get a male child in even nights, or to get a female child in odd nights. If it is more distant even nights (before the 16th night), it leads to birth of longliving, handsome and happy son. So to say, if the

90 Saravali

Adhana is, for example, in the 6th, 8th, 10th night etc. it leads to acquisition of a male issue while an intercourse on the 5th, 7th, 9th night etc. promotes the birth of female child. The man should have sexual union when angles and trines are benefic- occupied, when the ascendant/Moon are with benefics and when malefics are in 3, 6 and 11th houses and when there are planetary indications to ensure obtainment of progeny. Curious reader may consult Brihat Samhita for fuller in- structions on this count. Then, Balabhadra in his Hora Ratna observes on our present sloka of Saravali thus : The Sun in Upachaya houses (3, 6, 10 or 11) promotes the masculine vigour of a preson while Venus so positioned strengthens his virility. For a male, the Sun's strength is essential. Mars rules blood which produces menses in a woman. The Moon's potence is essential for a woman and hence she should have these in Upachayas. Suka Jataka adds that the Sun and Venus should be in their Navamas while in Upachaya for a male. And Mars and Moon should be in their Navamsas for a female. In both cases, Upachaya Rasi positions are necessary.

DISPOSITION OF FOETUS : The child in the womb will be according to the mental disposition of the couple and their desires and according to Tridoshas (bile, phlegm and wind) prevailing. Notes : According to Sastras, the woman should sexually join her husband lovingly, with a desire to beget an offspring. The couple should be well-disposed towards each other, विषमे विषमांशगता होराशशिजीवभास्करा बलिनः। कुर्वन्ति जन्म पुंसां समे समांशे तु युवतोनाम्॥ १४॥ ओजक्षे गुरुसूयौं बलिनौ पुंसः समे सितेन्दुकुजाः। कन्यानां जन्मकरा गर्भाधाने स्थिता बलिनः॥१५॥ 14-15. SEX OF THE CHILD : Should Lagna, Moon, Jupiter and the Sun be strong and be in male Rasis and malo

Chapter 8 91

Navamsas, birth of a male child be predicted. If they are in even Rasis and even Amsas, predict female child. If strong Jupiter and Sun be in male Rasis, male child will be born. Female child should be expected if Venus, Moon and Mars are in even Rasis.

Notes : From this sloka onwards, till the end of this chapter, all Lagna references should be related to Adhana (आधान) unless otherwise mentioned.

TWIN BIRTH: If the Sun and Jupiter be in Gemini or Sagittarius in aspect to Mercury, birth of two male children be predicted. Two female children will be born if Venus, Mars and the Moon be in Pisces or Virgo in aspect Mercury. लग्नं मुक्त्वा विषमे शनश्चरः पुरुषजन्मदो भवति। योगे विहगस्य बलं संवीक्ष्य वदेन्नरं स्त्रियं वाडपि ॥ १७ ॥ 17. MALE BIRTH : If Saturn is in odd house other than Lagna, a male child will be born. Such yogas and strengths at the time of Adhana should be properly assessed to predict birth of male or female child. अन्योन्यं रविचन्द्रौ विषमक्षंगतौ निरीक्षेते। इन्दुजरविपुत्रौ वा दृष्टौ बलिनौ नपुंसकं कुरुतः ॥१८ ॥ पश्यति वक्रः समभे सूर्य चन्द्रोदयौ च विषमक्षे। यद्येवं गर्भस्थ क्लीबो मुनिभिः समादिष्टः ॥१६॥ ओ्रोजसमराशिसंस्थी ज्ञेन्दू षण्ढं कुजेक्षितौ कुरुतः। नरमे विषमनवांशे होरेन्दुबुधा: सिताकिदृष्टा वा॥२०॥ 18-20. BIRTH OF HERMAPHRODITE : Birth of a hermaphrodite should be declared if the Sun and the Moon be in odd Rasis and be in mutual aspect, or if Mercury and Saturn be in mutual aspect from odd Rasis, or if Mars aspects the Sun who is in an even Rasi, or if the Moon is in Lagna in odd Rasi. These are the views of sages. If Mars aspects Mercury in odd Rasi and simultaneously the Moon in even Rasi, same effect

92 Saravali

follows. Alternatively if Lagna, Moon and Mercury be in odd Rasi and odd Navamsa and aspected by Venus and Saturn. eunuch birth is indicated. लग्ने समराशिगते चन्द्रे च निरीक्षिते बलयुतेन। गगनसदा वक्तव्यं मिथुनं गर्भस्थितं नित्यम् ॥२१॥ समराशौ शशिसितयोविषमे गुरुवक्रसौम्यलग्नेषु। द्विशरीरे वा बलिषु प्रवदेत् स्त्रीपुरुषमत्रैव ।। २२।। 21-22. ONE MALE CHILD AND ONE FEMALE CHILD TO BE BORN : Should Lagna and Moon be in even Rasis and be aspected by a strong planet, then there are twins in the womb (one male child and one female child). Similar results follow if the Moon and Venus are in even Rasis while Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Lagna be in odd Rasis or common signs and be strong. द्विशरीरांशकयुक्तान् ग्रहान् विलग्नं च पश्यतीन्दुसुते। मिथुनांशे कन्यका द्वौ पुरुषौ त्रितयमेवं स्यात् ॥ २३॥ द्विशरीरांशकयुक्तान् ग्रहान् विलग्नं च पश्यतीन्दुसुते। कश्यांशे द्वे कन्ये पुरुवश्च निषिव्यते गभे॥ २४॥ मिथुने धनुरंशगतान् ग्रहान् विलग्नं च पश्यतीन्दुसुतः। मिथुनांशस्थश्च यदा पुरुषत्रितयं तदा गर्भे॥ २५॥ कन्यामीनांशस्थान विहगानुदयं च युवतिभागगतः। पश्यति शिशिरगुतनयः कन्यात्रितयं तदा गर्भे ॥ २६ ॥ 23-26. BIRTH OF TRIPLETS : The following yogas pervailing at the time of Adhana lead to births of triplets : (a) Mercury remaining in Gemini Navamsa aspecting a planet who also falls in common Navamsa (b) Mercury remaining in Gemini Navamsa aspecting a common sign which ascends (c) Mercury in Virgo Navamsa aspecting a planet falling in common Navamsa (d) Mercury in Virgo Navamsa aspecting a common sign which ascends (e) Mercury in Gemini Amsa aspecting a planet in Gemini Amsa or Sagittarius Amsa (f) Mercury in Gemini Navamsa aspecting the Lagna which falls in Gemini Navamsa or Sagittarius Navamsa, (g) Mercury in 7th aspecting a planet in Kanya or Mina Navamsa or aspecting

Chapter 8 93

such Lagna Navamsa. Combinations (a) and (b) lead to birth of triplets-one female and two males. Combinations (c) and (d) cause birth of triplets consisting of two females and one male. Combinations at (e) and (f) cause three male children while the ones at (g) indicate three female children. दिवसे मातापितरौ शुक्ररवी शशिशनी निशायां च। मातृभगिनीपितृव्यौ विपर्ययात कोर्तितौ यवनंः ॥२७॥ 27. MOTHER, FATHER, ETC. : If births take place in day time Venus indicates mother while the Sun indicates father. In the case of nights the Moon and Saturn respectively play these roles. Similarly the Moon denotes mother's sister and Saturn paternal uncle for dav time births while Venus and the Sun take over these portfolios respectively in the case of night births. लग्नाद्विषमर्क्षगतः पितुः पितृध्यस्य खेचरः शस्तः। मातृभगिनीजनन्योः समगृहगोऽन्ये तथा भेषु॥२८॥ 28. EFFECTS OF SUCH PLANETS : If the planets deno- ting father and paternal uncle are in odd Bhavas, their well- being is assured. If the planets denoting mother and maternal aunt are in even Bhavas, their well being is to be predicted. मासेष्वाधानादिषु गर्भस्य यथा क्रमेण जायन्ते। सप्तसु कलिलाण्डकशाखास्थित्वग्रोमचेतनताः ॥ २६॥ मासेऽष्टमे च तृष्णा क्षुधा च नवमे तथोद्वेगः। दशमे त्वथ संपूर्ण: पक्त्रमित्र फलं पतति गर्भः ॥ ३० ॥

मासपतयः स्युरेतैरगर्भस्य शुभाऽशुभं चिन्त्यम्॥ ३१॥ 29-31. PROCESS OF GROWTH OF EMBRYO AND LORDS THERE OF : The embryo in the womb improves as under : First month coagulated blood, second month-mass of flesh, third month-limbs, fourth month-bones, fifth month-skin, sixth month-hair, seventh month-movements, eighth month- feeling of hunger and thirst, ninth month-excitement and tenth month-riped like a fruit and ready for coming out of the

94 Saravali

womb. These ten months are ruled respectively by Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury, lord of Nisheka lagna, the Moon and the Sun. The dispositions of these lords indicate good or bad of the respective processes. Notes : Curious readers may refer to Horasara, P. 47 for relevant information. Balabhadra quotes Parasara as under in this context : The semen sprinkled in the womb coagulates in the first month. In the second month it becomes an embryo and assumes the form of a bubble on water and the sex of the child forms viz. male, female or eunuch. In the third month it transforms into a sprout. In the fourth month, the limbs become prominent (well grown) and the bearing woman develops courage if it is a male child, assumes timidity if it is a female child and a mixed disposi- tion if it is a neuter. And the child in the womb also reflects such dispositions. (Mark the discerning scientific approach of our sages made thousands of years ago, which may be a news to even the modern medical scientists !) In the 5th month, blood strengthens in the child's body. Bones, hair, nails etc. are added in the sixth month. During the 7th month, strength and comp- lexion improves; limbs assume fullness, the child covers the holes of its ears etc. develops emotions, has a reminiscence of its previous birth and finds ways and means for Relief. In the 8th month, sound, touch, feeling, etc. occur to the child, and it develops purity of blood and movements in the womb. Then in the 9th or the 10th month, delivery takes place.

32-33 MISCARRIAGE : Should a planet be affected by celestial portents or defeat by malefic, at the time of inter- course, miscarriage may take place in the month ruled by the planct concerned. The ascendant ruling at the time of inter- course can also become cause of miscarriage; if Saturn and

Chapter 8 95

Mars be in the said ascendant, or the Moon be in a house of Mars or Saturn, the results mentioned will come to pass. होरेन्दुयुतेः सौम्यं स्त्रिकोरणजायार्थखाम्बुसंस्थैर्वा। पापस्त्रिलाभयातं: सुखी च गर्भो निरीक्षिते रविरा॥३४॥ 34. COMFORTABLE CARRYING: Should the Adhana ascendant be occupied Moon or should there be benfics in the 5th, 9th, 7th, 2nd, 10th, 4th and malefics relegated to 3rd and 11th aspected by the Sun, the carrying female is safe. क्र रान्तःस्थ: सूर्यश्चन्द्रो वा युगपदेव मराय। गभसहितानाम् ॥३५॥ उदयास्तगतः पापः सौम्येरनवेक्षितंश्च मरणं स्यात्। उदयस्थितेड्र्कजे वा क्षोणेन्दौ भौमसंदृष्टे॥३६॥ व्ययगेडरक शशिनि कृशे पाताले लोहिते सगर्भा स्त्री। म्रियते तस्मिन्नथवा शुक्र पापद्वयान्तःस्थे॥३७॥ चन्द्रचतुथे: क्रुरविलग्नतो वा विपद्यते गर्भः। होरादूने क्षितिजे स्रियते गर्भः सह जनन्या॥३८॥ हिबुकगते धरणिगसुते रिःफगतेडर्के क्षपाकरे क्षोणों। गर्भेर सह म्रियते पापग्रहदर्शनं प्राप्ते॥३६॥ लग्ने रविसंयुक्ते क्षोरेन्दौ वा कुजेऽथवा म्रियते। व्ययधनसंस्थः पार्पस्तथैव सौम्यग्रहादृष्टैः॥४०।. जामित्रे रवियुक्ते लग्नगते वा कुजे निषिक्तस्य। गर्भस्य भवति मरणं शस्त्रच्छेदेः सह जनन्या॥४१॥ 35-41. ADVERSITIES TO THE PREGNANT WOMAN : If at the time of Adhana, the Sun and the Moon are hemmed between two malefics while the ascendant has no benefic aspect, . the female concerned dies. The same effect prevails if the said ascendant and the 7th are occupied by malefics and be without benefic aspect or if the said ascendant is occupied by Saturn and weak Moon aspected by Mars. Again similar effects shall come to pass if weak Moon and the Sun are in 12th, Mars in 4th while Venus is between two malefics. Both the child in the womb and its mother leave this world if malefics occupy the 4th from the said ascendant or from the Moon while Mars is

96 Saravali

in the 7th or Lagna. The same result follows if Mars is in 4th, Sun in 12th and the Moon be decreasing and be with malefic aspect. If the Sun is in Lagna while the Moon is weak or if Mars is in Lagna while malefics are in 12th and 2nd with- out benefics' aspect, death occurs of the mother along with child. The Sun in the 7th at Adhana while Mars is in Lagna, takes away the child along with its mother through instru- ments.

Notes : Please see the folowing addition causing death of the carrying woman : If the 12th house from Adhana Lagna has malefics, according to Garga, the female dies before deli- very. Should the Sun and weak Moon be in the 12th, Venus hemmed between malefics while Mars occupies the 4th, the female soon quits the world. Malefics in the 4th from Lagna or the Moon in Adhana chart causes the same effect. Should the 2nd and 12th be aspected by malefics while weak Moon or Mars or the Sun is in the 12th, the woman passes away prior to her begetting an issue. The Sun and the Moon connected only with malefics may also lead to the same conclusion. बलिभिर्बुधगुरुशुक्रेष्टेर्ट्वडकेर च विवर्धते गर्भः। मासाधिपबलतुल्यैस्तैस्तैः संयुज्यते भावः ॥४२॥ मासि तृतोये स्त्रीणां दोहदकं जायते तथाऽवश्यम्। ॥४ ३ ॥

42-43. PROGRESS OF PREGNANCY : Should there be aspects from Mercury, Jupiter, Venus or the Sun to the Lagna, the process of pregnancy goes on well. The embryo develops according to the state of thelords of various months (in transit). In the third month, the pregnant woman develops tastes to eat various things according to the disposition of the various monthly lords and Lagna Lord and the yogas caused to them. Notes : The embryo in the womb develops according to the planetary transits. If in the 3rd month, the ruler of the month Jupiter gets adverse influences, its transformation into a sprout is affected and the embryo may not sustain. Mis- carriage may follow. If Saturn is afflicted in the 6th month,

Chapter 8 97

deformity of limbs will result. Similar inferences may be made as per the transits and months. The pregnant woman's taste for eating will vary accord- ing to various monthly lords. For planetary tastes, see sloka 15, Ch. 4, infra. निषेककाले चरराशिगेऽके गर्भप्रसूतिर्दशमे च मासे। एकादशे च स्थिरराशिसंस्थे स्यादद्वादशे मास्युभयाश्रिते च ।४४ गर्भाधाने चरे राशौ दशमासैः प्रसूयते। स्थिरेशौकादशे मासे उभये द्वादशे भवः॥ ४५॥ 44-45. TIME OF DELIVERY : If at the time of Nisheka (i.e.Adhana) the Sun is in a movable sign, delivery takes place in the 10th month, if he is in a fixed sign, delivery in 11th month is indicated and in a dual sign it is in 12th month. If a movable Rasi ascends at Adhana, delivery takes place in, 10th month, a fixed Rasi 11th month and dual Rasi 12th month.

Notes: In sloka 45, Rasī may be construed to be Adhana Lagna or Adhana Chandra Lagna; whichever is stronger prevails. The duration of pregnancy is nine solar months or ten lunar months. A solar month is 30 days 26 gh 17 vighatis 32 tatparas and 30 vitatparas. (Sixty units of the latter make one former.) A lunar revolution takes 27.32 days. The birth chart can be correlated to coneeption chart, as per the details given in the Appendix of my English translation of Nashta Jataka. The Sun or the Moon or the Lagna-all relating to Adhana if be in a movable Rasi, delivery takes place in 10th month; in a fixed Rasi 11th month and in a dual Rasi 12th month. The Adhana Lagna lord in similar Rasi also leads to same effect. Suka Jataka, however, states that delivery will be in 9th or 10th or 11th month according to Adhana Lagna being movable, fixed or dual sign. After knowing the possible month, the number of days will depend on the Horary Moon or Horary Lagna (or Adhana). Should it be, say, 12° of a sign, delivery will be on the 12th day of the particular month.

98 Saravali

Also, please see Horasara, page 49 regarding possiblle delivery period. गर्भप्रसवविधानं तात्कालिकलग्नवर्गतडचिन्त्यम्। आधानाज्जन्मक्ष दशमं वाञ्छन्ति केचिदाचार्या:॥।४६॥ आधानोदयशशिनो: सप्तमभं बादरायरो ब्रूते। सर्वेषां संमतं वक्ष्ये।। ४७॥ 46-47. The matter of delivery can be guessed through the Vargas of Nisheka Lagna. The natal Moon can be in the 10th from Adhana Moon. This view is held by many Acharyas. According to Badarayana, the natal ascendant will be in the 7th from Adhana Lagna and natal Moon will be in the 7th from Adhana Moon. Since there are several views on this, I explain below (in the next sloka) a view which is acceptable to all.

Notes : Whatever Rasiis descendent in Nisheka chart will be the natal ascendant and whichever Rasi is the 7th from the Adhana Moon will be natal Moon.

Alternatively, the natal ascendant or the natal descendant will correspond to the Moon at conception. Or the natal Moon will be over conception ascendant or descendant. If the Moon be waxing at birth, it will be over conceptional ascendant and if the natal Moon is waning it will be concep- tion descendant. The conceptional chart should be worked for the place where the mother lived at the time of conception. The number of the days the child spent in the mother's womb can be worked out as under :

(a) It is less than 273 days if the Moon is waxing at birth and be in the visible half (i. e. between 180 deg-360 deg from the ascendental cusp.) (b) It is above 273 days if the Moon is waxing at birth and be in the invisible half (Lagna to 180 deg). (c) It is above 273 days if the Moon is decreasing at birth and be in the visible half. (d) It is less than 273 days if the Moon is decreasing at birth and be in the invisible half,

यस्मिन् द्वादशभागे गर्भाधाने स्थितो निशानाथः। ततुल्यक्षे प्रसवं गर्भस्य समादिशेत् प्राज्ञः॥४८॥ 48. VIEW ACCEPTABLE TO ALL ABOUT NATAL MOON : Note the Dwadasamsa of the Moon at the time of Adhana. When Moon is so many signs away from her Adhana position (in a month when delivery is normally possible) deli- very will take place. Notes : In horary chart or in conception chart, note the stronger of the Moon and ascendant. Then find out in which dvadasamsa it is. If the Moon comes into such dvadasa- msa in appropriate month, delivery can take place. Let us assume that the Moon is in Leo in a query chart in 19 deg. It is in the 8th Dvadasamsa in Pisces. When the Moon transits pisces in the month concerned, delivery will take place. Prithuyasas gives some more rules. Please see Horasara Page 50.

लग्ने शनश्चरांशे शनश्चरे द्यूनगे यदि निषेकः । वर्षत्रयेण सूतिर्द्वादशभिः स्याच्छशिनि चैवम् ॥४६।। 49. BELATED DELIVERY (PREGNANCY): Should a navamsa of Saturn rule the Nisheka Lagna and Saturn be in the 7th, the delivery takes place after three years. If Cancer be the Navamsa Lagna with the Moon in the 7th (from Rasi lagna) delivery occurs after twelve years. Notes : As per tne first part of the sloka, Saturn should occupy the 7th bhava from the ascendant while Capricorn Navamsa or Aquarius Navamsa be in Lagna. Then, the sexual act does not promote conception for 3 years to eome. Similarly if Cancer be the Lagna Navamsa while the Moon occupies the 7th from Lagna, the conception is delayed for 12 years. Some translators interpret this sloka as well as the identical ones from Brihat Jataka and Samudra Jataka in a different way, as if the child remains in the womb for 3 years or 12 years as the case may be.

50. FRACTION OF DAY OR NIGHT FOR DELIVERY ; According to Nisheka Lagna being a day sign or night sign, delivery will be after so much of fraction of night or day having passed. Notes : Tatkalika Lagna in astrological parlance also means Prasna Lagna. Hence wherever Tatkalika Lagna is translated in this chapter as Nisheka Lagna can additionally mean Prasna Lagna. Such rules may also be horarily applied to. Now coming to the sloka proper, the time of delivery during night or day can thus be guessed. If day sign rises at the time of query (or in Nisheka), birth will be in night time. If night sign is in Lagna at query (or in Nisheka) then birth should be declared in day time. Suppose the 10th degree of a day sign is on the ascendant; it is one third of Lagna. So, the birth should be after one third of night is over. This clue can be used in working out a lost horoscope or rectification of birth time through Prasna. Day signs are : Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces. Night signs are : Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius and Capricorn. The Moon's transit as arrived at, as per previous sloka, may lead lo the knowledge of birth time as instructed in our present verse. सुविभागे दिवसनिशोर्जन्मनि लग्नं वदेद्युक्त्या। उदयगतात् प्रसतः स्याहदिनपक्षमुहूर्तमाससंज्ञर्क्षात् ॥ ५१॥ इत्याधाने प्रथमं प्रसूतिकालं सुनिश्चितं कृत्वा। जातकविहितं च विधि विचिन्तयेत्तत्र गणिगतज्ञः ॥ ५२ ॥ 51-52. Thus should be understood the possible time of birth in day or night and the Lagna at birth. In similar manner, the difference between sunrise and birth, i.e, natal ascendant, and day (week day), fortnight, Muhurta month etc. should be guessed. Such details relating to birth should first be ascer- tained and then predictions should be issued with reference to nativity by astrologers. स्यातां यद्याधाने रविशशिनौ सिंहराशिगौ लग्ने। दष्टौ कुजसौरिभ्यां जात्यन्धः संभवति तत्र॥ ५३॥

YOGAS FOR EYE DEFECTS : If at the time of Adhana (or at birth), the Sun and Moon are in Leo identical with Lagna, the child born will be blind; there should be aspect of Mars and Saturn on Leo. A bubble on the eye should be predicted if Mars and Mercury aspect the said Sun and Moon in Leo Lagna. I shall further explain yogas affecting the eyes. Should the 12th be occupied by waning Moon, left eye is destroyed and if by the Sun, it is the right eye. If, how- ever, benefics aspect (the said 12th and the Sun/Moon), then by (suitab[e) efforts, the eye can be repaired. Notes : Normally the Sun or Moon in the 12th or 2nd from Lagna, causes eye defects. If Cancer rises and the Sun be there, one can find floral mark in the native's eye. क्रूरंगृ हसन्धिगतैः शशिनि वृषे भौमसौररविद्टष्टे। मूकः सौम्यदष्टे वाचं कालान्तरे वर्दति॥५६॥ 56. YOGAS FOR DUMBNESS : If malefics are in Rasi Sandhi aud the Moon is in Taurus aspected by Mars, Saturn and the Sun, the native born will be dumb. If however there is benefic's aspect, the person speaks latter on. क्ररेषु राशिसन्धिषु शशी न सौम्यनिरीक्ष्यते च जडः। बुधनवमभागसंस्थौ शनिभौमौ यदि सदन्तः स्यात् ॥५७॥ 57. DULLWITTED AND TEETHED : If malefic planets are in Rasi Sandhis (i.e. at the junctions of Rasis) while there is no benefic aspect on the Moon, the native born is dullwitted. Should Saturn and Mars be in a navamsa of Mercury, the birth. · is with teeth. सौम्ये त्रिकोणसंस्थे लग्नाच्छेष ग्रहैबल विहीनैः। द्विगुरास्यपादहस्तो योगेऽस्मिन्नाहितो भवति गर्भः ॥५८॥ 58. PECULIAR BIRTH; Should Mercury be in the 5th or the 9th from the ascendant while all other planets are devoid of strength, the child has 2 faces, 4 hands and 4 legs.

SHORT STATURE : If the last portion of Capricorn rises with aspect from Saturn and the luminaries (i.e. the Sun and the Moon), the native is short-statured. The same effect prevails if the Moon is in Cancer identical with ascendant and aspected by Mars and Saturn. मीनोदये च दृष्टे कुजार्किश शिभि: पुमान् भवति पङ्गः। याप्या भवन्ति योगाः सौम्यग्रहवोक्षिता: सर्वे॥ ६०॥ 60. LAME BY BIRTH : If Pisces rises at birth with aspect from Mars, Saturn and the Moon, the child born is lame. If there is a benefic's aspect to the said combination, then relief can be expected after making efforts. भौमयुता द्रेष्कारास्त्रिकोणलग्नेऽशुभशच सन्दष्टाः। विशिरो्डि बाहुयुग्म: शेषरबलेर्भवति गर्भः ॥ ६१।

61. BIRTH WITHOUT HEAD, LEGS AND HANDS : Should Mars be in the ascendant and fall in the ascendental decanate or a trinal decanate receiving the aspect of malefics while benefics are devoid of strength, the child in the womb develops no head, no legs and no hands respectively. Notes : If Mars is in the first decanate of Lagna in aspect to malefics while benefics have no strength, the child will not have its head, (it may have peculiar head). Similary, the second decanate position of Mars in Engna (i. e. Mars falling in the 5th from Drekkana Lagna) with other conditions as laid down above, the child does not have legs. Again if Mars falls in the 9th from Drekkana Lagna with other rcquirements being ful- filled as above, the child does not have hands. इत्याधानविधानं प्रसूतिसमयेऽपि योजयेद्योग्यम्। आधाने यन्नोक्तं प्रसूतिविहितं तदपि चिन्त्यम् ॥ ६२॥ 62. Whatever is stated in this chapter, should be suitably applied to natal ascendant if applicable. And the rules stated elsewhere in regard to nativity may be used with reference to Adhana (आधान) also if need be.

Notes : Thus, the rules in astrology relating Horary, Adhana and nativities should be suitably interchanged with wisdom and sense.

Chapter 9 Conditions at Birth

आधानं हि मयोक्तं प्रसूतिकालस्य निर्णयार्थकरम्। तस्मिन् सुपरिज्ञाते जन्माध्यायं प्रवक्ष्यामि॥ १॥ 1. To know the time of delivery, I have explained the Adhana chapter. Now I explain the natal chapter as below. शीर्षोदये विलग्ने मूर्ध्ना प्रसवोऽन्यथोदये चरसांः । उभयोदये च हस्तः शुभदृष्टे शोभनोऽन्यथा कष्टः ॥२॥ 2. KIND OF DELIVERY : If natal Lagna is in Sirshodaya Rasi, birth is with head foremost, and a Prishtodaya Rasi at birth indicates birth with legs foremost. The birth is with hands in such a position if an Ubhayodaya Rasi ascends. Should Lagna enjoy benefic aspect, delivery would have been comfor- table; otherwise difficult. Notes : Sirshodaya signs are : the signs that ascend with head first. These are : Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and · Aquarius, Prishtodaya signs are : Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagi- ttarius and Capricorn. The sign Pisces is called Ubhayodaya Rasi. If a Seershodaya Rasi (like Leo) rises, the child has come out of the womb with its head first. Should a Prishtodaya Rasi (like Cancer) be ascending, the child comes out with legs first. It comes out with hands first if Pisces be the Lagna.

104 Saravali

If the Moon be with malefics or connected with them, the delivery would cause difficulty to the mother. Benefics associated with Lagna makes it easy while malefics indica te difficulty experienced by mother. According to Maniththacharya, if the lords of Lagna and Lagna Navamsa are retrograde at birth, the child birth is with great labour trouble. See (Hora Ratna Ch. I).

भवनांशसहशदेशे प्रसवो ज्ञेयः सदाSन्र युवतीनाम्। मिश्रगृहांशे वर्त्मनि स्थिरराश्यशे तथा स्वगृहे॥३॥ स्वगृहनवांशे लग्ने स्वगृहेऽन्यस्मिन्प्रतिद्वन्द्वे। पितृमातृग्रहबलतस्तत्त्द्वने भवेत् प्रसवः ॥४॥

3-4. PLACE OF DELIVERY : The place of delivery will correspond to the Rasi Lagna or Navamsa Lagna at birth. If it is a dual Rasi or Navamsa, delivery will be on the way. A fixed Rasi/Amsa indicates delivery in one's own place. Should the Navamsa be of the same Rasi the delivery is in one's own house; otherwise it is otherwise. The delivery will be in the house of father or mother according to the indicator concer- ned being strong.

प्राकारतरुनदीषु सूतिर्नीचाश्रितैः सौम्यैः। Ip नेक्षन्ते लग्नेन्दू यद्येकस्था ग्रहा महाटव्याम्॥ ५॥ सलिललग्नं च चन्द्रो जलराशौ वीक्षते तथा पूर्रगः। प्रसव सलिले विद्यात बन्घूदयदशमगश्च यदा॥ ६॥ सौम्येलग्ने पूर्ण स्वगृहगते शशिनि सलिलसंयाते। पातालस्थैश्च शुर्भर्जलजे लग्नेऽम्बुगेहगे शशिनि ॥७॥ 5-7. If benefic planets are in fall, then the birth is in an enclosed place, under a tree or on the banks of a river. Should all planets be together and not aspect Lagna or the Moon, then the birth is in a thick forest. If a watery sign is on the ascendant, and aspected by Full Moon from a watery sign being 4th or 10th, ( ?? ) birth is in water (i.e. in river etc.) and similar results be predicted if Lagna and 4th are occupied by benefics, and Full Moon is in watery sign or in own house.

Chapter 9 105

वृश्चिककुलोरलग्ने सौरे चन्द्रेक्षिते त्ववटे। भवति प्रसवः स्त्रीरगां वदन्ति यवना: सह मखित्थः ॥८॥ रविजे जलजविलग्ने क्रीडोद्याने बुधेक्षिते प्रसवः । रविणा देवागारे तथोषरे चंव चन्द्रेण ॥ ६॥ आरण्यभवनलग्ने गिरिवनदुर्गे तथा नरविलग्ने। रुधिरेक्षिते रमशाने शिल्पकनिलयेषु सौम्येन ॥ १० ॥ सूर्ये क्षिते गोनृपदेववासे शुक्रन्दुजाभ्यां रमणीयदेशे। शक्रेज्यदृष्टे द्विजवह्निहोत्रे नरोदये सम्प्रवदन्ति सूतिम् ॥११॥ 8-11 If Scorpio or Cancer ascends with Saturn and is aspected by Moon, birth is in a deep place. This view is held by Yavanas and Maniththa. Should Saturn be in watery Rasi rising and aspected by Mercury, birth is in playground. If the planet aspecting is the Sun, it is temple and the Moon aspeci- ting indicates barren lands. Should an "Aranya Rasi" (for example Leo) be on the Lagna, the birth is in hills, forest, fortress etc. Should a human Rasi be ascending, and is aspected by Mars, it is burial ground, if by Mercury sculp- ture home and if by the Sun cow-shed, royal palace or temple. If the aspect is from Venus and Mercury, it indicates pleasing location and if from Venus and Jupiter it is brahmins' place or where sacred rites are performed. स्वोच्चे दशमे जीवे द्वित्रिचतुर्भूमिके गृहे प्रसवः। मन्दक्षशऽसाले चतुर्थदशमस्थितैः सौम्यैः॥१२॥ 12. DELIVERY HOME DESCRIBED : Should Jupiter be exalted in 10th (i.e. Lagna being Libra), delivery is in a 2, 3, or 4 storeyed building. If benefic planets are in Saturn's Rasi or Navamsa, coinciding with the 4th or 10th, the delivery is in a veranda or balcony. द्वौ द्वो राशी मेषात पूर्वादिषु संस्थितौ गृहविभागे। कोेषु द्विशरीरा लग्नन्तु भवेद्धि तत्प्रमुखैः ॥१३॥ 13. To know the direction of the delivery room, proceed thus : One of the dual signs ascending denotes the quarter (of the direction) in which the room is situated. The other signs from Aries on indicate the directions of the room.

106 Saravali

Notes : The first two signs preceding the first dual sign indicate the east. The first dual sign, Gemini, denotes south- east. The next dual signs is Virgo denoting south-west. The signs Cancer and Leo denote the south. The third dual sign represents north-west while the signs Libra-Scorpio hint at west. The last dual signs Pisces repersents north-east while Capricorn and Aquarius indicate the north. Each sign ascending accor- dingly indicate the direction or quarter in which the delivery room is located. For example, Virgo rising denotes south- western room. Similarly other signs. दिग्भागराशिमण्डल केन्द्रेषु खगेषु तच्छाला। अथ मृगहयबलवत्त्वे गृहं विशालं त्रिशालं च॥ १४॥ 14. Should there be a planet (which is strong) in the angle of a sign, the direction represented by that (latter) sign will prevail. If Sagittarius ascends with strength, it is 3- storeyed building while Capricorn denotes a spacious house. Notes : Suppose there is a strong planet in the angle of Aries i.e. in Cancer, the direction represented by Aries, i.e. east will denote the direction of delivery room. If Sagittarius with strength ascends, the building has 3 storeys while strong Capri- corn indicates a spacious house. The last rules relating to Sagi- ttarius and Capricorn may always not be found true in a uni- versal manner.

चित्रं नवं भृगुसुते च दृढं गुरौ च दग्धं कुजे दिनकरे परिपूर्णकाष्ठम्। चन्द्रे नवं च बहुशिल्पिकृतं बुधे च जीएं भवेद्गृहमिहोष्णकरात्मजे च॥ ६५॥ 15. HOUSE OF DELIVERY : If Venus is strong at birth,' it is a new and painted house. Jupiter in strength denotes a strong house while Mars indicates a burnt house. The Sun stands for house constructed of wood. It is a new house if the Moon is strong. Saturn in strength indicates an old house. वासगृहे केन्द्रगतात् द्वारो दिक्पालकात बलोपेतात्। भवनग्रहसंयोगः प्रतिवेश्माश्चिन्तनीयाः स्यु: ॥१६ ॥

Chapter 9 107

देवालयाम्बुपावककोश विहारास्तथोत्करस्थानम्। निद्रागृहं च भास्करशशिकुजगुरुभार्गवाकिबुधयोगात् ॥ १७॥ 16-17. The direction of the planet occupying an angle denotes the direction of entry for the lying-in-chamber. The planet thatis conjunct with the planet denoting house of birth indicates the direction in whieh another house related to deli- very is located. The Sun indicates temples, the Moon watery places, Mars fire houses, Jupiter treasury, Venus parks etc., Saturn filthy corner; and Mercury bed room etc. Notes: The planet denoting the house of birth is discussed in sloka 15 supra. Suppose the Sun is the strongest at birth, place of delivery should be deemed to be wooden house. If another planet is in the company of the Sun, the former relates to another house connected with delivery.

POSITION OF COT : Now explained is the situation of the cot on which the delivery took place. The 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th indicate the four legs of cot. The first two relate to southern side legs and the other two denote the nor- thern side legs. If the ascendant is aspected by a benefic, the kind of cloth relating to that benefic was spread on the delivery cot. The ascendant leads to know the direction in which the mother was having her head. The depression in the cot corres- ponds to the common sign occupied by malefics. नीचस्थे भूशयनं चन्द्रेऽप्यथवा सुखे विलग्ने वा। शशिलग्नविवरयुक्त ग्रहतुल्या: अनुदितच क्रार्धयुतैरन्तर्बहिरन्यथा सूतिका ज्ञेयाः॥२१॥ वदन्त्येके। लक्ष रूपविभूषणयोगस्तासां शुभैर्योगात् ॥ २२॥

21-23. DELIVERY ON GROUND AND NUMBER OF ATTENDANTS : If the Moon is in her debilitation sign, identical with the 4th or ascendant, the birth is on the ground (i.e. not on cot, bed etc.) The number of attendants can be known by the number of planets posited between the Moon and Lagna. The number of attendants inside the chamber is known by the number of planets posited in the invisible half and the number of attendants outside the chamber will correspond to the number of planets in the visible half. If the concerned planets are benefic, the attendant ladies are with attractive features, beautiful and bedecked with ornaments. Malefics similarly indicate that such females are ugly, unfortunte and dirty. If the planets are of mixed disposition, but with strength, the attending women are in between the said two accounts. All these sbould be accordingly understood.

द्वादशभागच्छिन्ने वासगृहेऽवस्थिते सहस्रांशौ। दीपश्चरस्थिरादिषु तथैद वाच्यः प्रसवकाले ॥२४॥ यावल्लग्नादुदितं वर्तिर्दग्धा तु तावती भवति। दीप: पूर्णो पूर्णः शशिनि क्षोणो क्षयस्तु तैलस्य ॥ २५॥ 24-25. POSITION OF LIGHT : Out of the 12 Rasis the one occupied by the Sun will indicate the portion of the delivery chamber where light is kept, If it is fixed sign, the light burns steadily, and if it is a moving sign, it is unsteady. The portion that expired in Lagna is indicative of the extent to which the wick has burnt already. The quantity of oil in the lamp will correspond to the waxing or waning state of the Moon. बलवति सूर्ये दृष्टे बहून प्रदीपान् वदेत् कुपुत्रेरण। अ्न्यैरपगतवीय: सूतौ ज्योतिस्तृशौरभवति ॥ २६॥ सौरांशेऽथ जलांशे चन्द्रेडर्कजसंयुतेऽथवा हिबुके। तद्दृष्टे वा कुर्यात्तमसि प्रसवं न सन्देहः ॥ २७॥ 26-27. There were many lights (in the delivery chamber) if the Sun is aspected by Mars. Should other planets be all

Chapler 9 109

weak, light was obtained by burning grass. Should the Moon be in a navamsa of Saturn or be in watery navamsa or in the 4th house and be in aspect to or in the company of Saturn, deli- very was in a place of darkness. There is no doubt about this. Notes ; Since both the Sun and Mars indicate brightness, their mutual aspect suggests many lights. In sloka 27, combi- nations for birth in darkness are given: Saturn is a dark planet and hence the Moon's connection therewith, lead to birth without lights. Watery signs are brought in the picture, because water is not congenial for a lamp to burn. The con- juction of the Moon and Saturn in 4th (house related to mother) also causes darkness at the time of birth. होरामनीक्षमाणे शशिनि परोक्षस्थिते पितरि जातः। मेूररणच्च्युते वा चरभे भानौ विदेशगते॥२८॥ द्युनिशोरर्कासितयोः कुजेन सन्दष्टयोः पिताप्यभवत्। चरराशौ परदेशे युक्तेक्षितयोस्तु तत्र मृतः ॥२६॥ पञ्चमनवमद्यने पापरर्कातु पापसंहष्टः । बद्धः विताऽन्यदेशे राशिवशात् स्वेऽथवा मार्गे॥ ३० ॥

28-30. BIRTH OUT OF FATHER'S SIGHT : Should the ascendant be without the aspect of the Moon, the birth is be- hind the father, i.e. the father was absent from the place. If the Sun is in the 9th identical with a movable Rasi, the father was in a foreign place. The Sun in the case of day birth and Saturn in the case of hight birth, if aspected by Mars, delivery is out of father's sight. If the said Sun or Saturn be in a movable sign, death of father (in a distant place) should be declared. If the 5th, 6th and 7th from the Sun are aspected or occupied by malefics, the father was under confinement. Movable, fixed and common signs here indicate confinement, respectively in foreign place, own place and on the way.

जायात्रिकोणसंस्थे: क्रू रेरानन्दवजितः प्रसवः। दशमचतुर्थोपगतैः सौम्येः संपत्तयो विपुलाः ॥ ३१॥ 31. DELIVERY-COMFORTABLE OR OTHERWISE : Should the 7th house and the trines be occupied by malefics,

110 Saravali

the delivery is not without trouble. Benefics in the 10th and the 4th cause easy delivery in a large room apart from giving wealth.

पश्यति न गुरुः शशिन लग्नं च दिवाकरं सेन्दुम्। पापयुत वा साक चन्द्रं यदि जारजातः स्यात् ॥३२॥ गुरुशिशिरवयो नीचे सूतौ लग्नेऽथवाकंसूनुश्च। लग्नोडुपभृगुपुत्रा: शुभ रदृष्टास्तथान्यजातश्च । ३३॥। 32-33. BIRTHS OUT OF FATHER'S LOINS : The following lead to birth outside wedlock: (a) Moon or Lagna sans Jupiter's aspect. (b) The luminaries being together without Jupiter's aspect. (c) The luminaries along with malefics not receiving the aspect of Jupiter. (d) The Sun, the Moon and Jupiter simultaneously in fall while Saturn is in Lagna and Lagna, Moon and Venus not being in aspect to Jupiter. Notes : The following are additional traditional rules for illegal births : (1) The Moon in the 4th and in aspect to malefic or ini- mical planets. (2) Lords of the 3rd, 6th, 2nd and 5th occupying the ascendant. (3) Saturn in the 10th, malefics in Lagna while benefics are confined to,the 7th. (4) Mars and Venus in the 3rd while the Moon is in Lagna (5) Sun in the ascendant and Rahu in the 4th. (6) Sun and Moon in Lagna or Sun and Mars in 7th. (7) Lagna with Mars and Rahu while the luminaries are in the 7th. (8) No planets in angles. (9) All planets relegated to 2nd, 6th; 8th and 12th (10) Lords of Lagna and 7th in conjun- tion. (11) Lords of Lagna and 4th in exchange (which is other- wise a Raga yoga). (12) Lagna and Moon not belonging to any Varga of Jupiter. (13) The Sun, Moon and Jupiter together in Lagna while one of them is in fall. (14) Karakamsa Lagna related to only malefics. (15) Any one group of the following prevalent at birth : (a) Sunday-Dvitiya Thithi-Swati Nakshatra (b) Wednesday-Saptami-Revati, (c) Sunday-Dvadasi-Dhanishta. Some of these combinations do not call for literal applica- tion. In this context Jupiter in the 4th or Mars aspecting Jupiter

Chapter 9 111

or any Kendra occupicd by a planet or Lagna Lord in Lagna or benefics aspecting the ascendant or Jupiter and Moon in mutual Vargas or the Sun and the Moon in exchange cancel the combi- nations for illegal birth. कलेशो मातुः क्ररैर्बन्ध्वस्तगतैः शशाङ्युक्तैर्वा। चन्द्रात् सप्तमराशौ पापा मरणाय वक्रसन्दष्टाः॥३४॥ चन्द्रादृशमे भानुर्मातुर्मरणं करोति पापयुतः। शुक्रात् पञ्चमनवमे सौरियुतस्तेन वा दृष्टः ॥ ३५॥ चन्द्रात्त्रिकोणराशौ रविजो मातुर्वधं दिशति रात्रौ। शुक्रात्तथैव दिवसे भौमः पापेन सन्दष्टः ॥ ३६॥ 34-36. EVILS TO MOTHER: If the Moon is in the 4th or 7th along with malefics, it is evil to mother. The native's mother dies (immediately after delivery) if there are malefics in the 7th from the Moon, and aspected by Mars, The Sun in the 10th from the Moon along with malefics indicate death of the mother. The same effect prcvails if the Sun is in the 5th or 9th from Venus ( ?? ) and with Saturn's company or aspect. If birth takes place during night time while Saturn occupies 5th or 9th from the Moon, the mother soon leaves the world. For a day birth, if Mars is the 5th or 9th from Venus and aspected by malefics, the mother dies (early). Notes : According to Jataka Sarvasva, should the Sun be in the 5th or the 9th from the Moon and be aspected iby male- fics, the mother dies early. If Mars is in the 5th or 9th from Venus and aspected by malefics, the paternal grand-mother dies early.

37-40. MOTHER FORSAKING THE CHILD : If Mars and Saturn join in the 5th or the 9th from Ascandant, while the Moon is in the 7th, the child is forsaken by the mother. Jupiter's aspect in that case bestows happiness and long life. The child given up dies if the Moon is in Lagna and Mars is in the 7th, in aspect to malefics. Mars and Saturn in 11th bring similar effects. Should a benefic aspect such combinations, the child is rescued by the respective relative. Both malefics and benefics aspecting indicate death in the hands of others. Saturn and Mars joining in the same Amsa indicate that the child will be forsaken by the mother. Mars in the 7th from the ascendant in aspect to Saturn produces similar effects.

यादृक्पश्यति सौम्यस्तत्तुल्यगुणं सुतः समाधत्ते। पितृजननोसादृश्यं रवेः शशाङ्गस्य बलयोगात् ॥ ४१॥ 41. RESEMBLANCE DESCRIBED : The child acquires the qualities corresponding to the benefic's aspects. Should the Sun be strong, it resembles the father, If the Moon be so, resemblance is that of the mother.

सिंहाजगोभिरुदये जातो नालेन वेष्टितो जन्तुः। लग्ने कुजेऽथ सौरे राश्यंशसमानगात्रे च॥४२॥ 42. BIRTH WITH COIL AROUND: When Leo, Aries or Taurus rises with Mars or Saturn, there will be coil around the limb as indicated by the Navamsa Lagna Rasi.

भौमशनिदेक्काणे पापे लग्ने स्थिते शशियुते वा। द्वच कादशगैः सौम्यैरभिवेष्टितको भुजङ्ग न ।४३॥ सूर्यश्चतुष्पदस्थः शेषा द्विशरीरसंस्थिता बलिनः । कोशवे ष्टितदेहौ यमलौ खलु संप्रजायेते ॥४४॥ 43-44. COILING BY NAVEL CORD : If the Lagna falls in a decanate of Mars of Saturn, while malefics or Moon occupy Lagna, with benefics relegated to 2nd or 11th denote that the child was born with navel cord coiled around. Should the Sun be in a quadruped sign, while others with strength remain in dual (common) signs, it indicates that twins were born coiled by same navel cord.

Chapter 9 113

लग्ननवभागतुल्या मूर्तिर्बल संयुतादग्रहाद्वापि। नवभागाद्वर्णोक्तिः शशियुक्तात् तत्र सूतस्य ।। ४५।। बहवो यदि बलयुक्ता मिश्रा मूर्तिस्तदा वाच्या। कुलजातिदेशपुरुषान् बुदध्वाऽडदेशं समादिशेत्तज्ज्ञ: ॥ ४६॥ 45-46. FEATURES AND CHARACTER : The physical appearance will correspond to the Navamsa Lagna or the strongest of planets. It may also correspond to the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the Moon. If many'are strong, appearance and complexion, will be mixed. Race, caste and country of birth should be considered while estimating features and chara- cter of a person. त्रिशद्गागे भानुर्ग्रहस्य यस्य स्थितो भवति। तत्तुल्याः प्रकृतिः स्थादेवं मुनयोऽध्पवस्यन्ति ॥४७ ॥ 47. NATURE OF THE NATIVE : Sages say that the nature of the native will correspond to (that of the lord) the Trimsamsa occupied by the Sun at birth. तत्कालसुहृदरित्वं बलं च नीचोच्चमध्यसंश्रितताम्। ज्ञात्वा ग्रहस्वभावांस्तेभ्यः संचिन्त्यमन्यदपि॥४८॥ 48. Other information must be understood according to the friendship, enmity and debilitation, exaltation or placement in between, of the planets at birth. क्षोणे शशिनि सपापे माता स्रियते पिता रवौ तहत्। पापैर्द्ष्टे मिश्रैर्व्याधिः सौम्यः शुभं भवति ॥४६॥ 49. DEATH OF PARENTS : If weak Moon be with malefics, mother's death takes place while the Sun being so causes father's death. These planets indicate sickness (to the concerned parent) if aspected by both benefics and malefics. Benefics however, cause auspiciousness (in such a case). विपुलविमलमूर्तिः स्वोच्चगो वा स्वराशौ गुरुसितयुत इन्दुर्बोधनेनानुदृष्टः।। पतिशयशुभदाता पञ्चमे वारडपि मातु: पितुरपि खलु तद्वत् भास्कर: सर्वदेव ॥ ५०॥

114 Saravali

50. HAPPINESS OF PARENTS : The Moon, being bright, if be in her exaltation Rasi or in her own Rasi along with Jupiter and Venus in aspect to Mercury, or the Moon in 5th is capable of giving extreme auspiciousness in respect of the native's mother. The Sun so placed proves auspicious for father. इति कल्याणवरमंविरचितायां सारावल्यां जन्मविधानाध्यायो नवमः । Thus ends the 9th chapter entitled "JANMA VIDHANADHYAYA" of Kalayana Varma's SARAVALI.

अथाऽरिष्टाध्यायः ॥ १०॥ Chapter 10 Evils At Birth

आयुर्ज्ञानाभावे सवं विफलं प्रकीतितं यस्मात्। तस्मात्तज्ज्ञानाथें रिष्टाध्यायं प्रवक्ष्यामि॥ १॥ 1. NEED TO KNOW OF LONGEVITY : In the absence of knowledge of longevity, attempts to know other information are futile. So, I explain below Arishtas (or evils), in order to determine longevity. प्जे स्थिता: पुमांस: शुक्लेऽहनि सूरिभि: समाख्याताः। युग्मभवनेषु सवे कृष्णे निशि योषितो बलिनः ॥२॥ 2. STRENGTH OF MALE AND FEMALE PLANETS : Male planets are strong in odd Rasis, bright lunar half and day time. Female planets are strong in even Rasis, dark lunar half and night time. त्रिविधमिह शास्त्रकारा नियतमनियतं च योगजं प्राहुः। योगसमुत्थं तावद्वक्ष्ये पश्चात्तु परिशेषौ ॥ ३ ॥ 3. KINDS OF EVILS : There are three kinds of evils, ex- plained by astrological expounders. These are : preordained, accidental and Yogaja (arising of planetary combinations). The third kind is dealt with below while others are explained later on.

Chapter 10 115

बृहस्पतिभौं मगृहेऽष्टमस्थः सूयन्दुभौमार्कजदृष्टमूर्ति। शब्दस्त्रिभिर्भा र्गवदृष्टिहीनो लोकान्तरं प्रापयति प्रसूतम् ॥४। 4. LONGEVITY CURTAILED TO MINIMUM : Should Jupiter be in the 8th and in a house of Mars (i.e. Aries/Virgo rising at birth), and aspected by the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Saturn, the child dies in 3 years. Notes : For Aries, Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th while for Virgo, he rules the 4th and 7th houses. Even though he is aspected by Mars-the dispositior, Saturn-Ayushkaraka an d the luminaries, his close friends, he is harmful in respect of longe- vity if in the 8th for the said ascendants. If Jupiter is in the 8th house belonging to Mars, but be without aspect to all the said 4 planets, the longevtiy may be more than 3 years, but not full. वक्री शनिभी मगृहं प्रपन्नश्चन्द्रऽष्टषष्ठेऽथ चतुष्टये वा। कुजन सम्प्राप्तबलेन दृष्टो वर्षद्वयं जीवयत प्रजातम् ॥५॥ 5. If Saturn is retrograde in a house of Mars while the Moon is in the 6th, 8th or an angle, and aspect Mars, the child born lives for two years. भास्करहिमकरसहितः शनश्चरौ मृत्युदः प्रसवकाले। वर्षेनव भिर्यातरित्याह ब्रह्मशौण्डाख्य: ॥६॥ भौमदिवाकर सौराश्छिद्रे जातस्य स्रियतेऽवश्यं स नरो यमकृतरक्षोऽपि मासेन।७॥ वृषंगृहे।

6-7. If Saturn joins the Sun and Moon at birth, the life span is only nine years, according to Brahmasaunda. Should Mars, the Sun and Saturn be in Taurus identical with the 8th, the native lives for one month even though Lord Yama may try to save him.1 एक: पापोऽष्टमगः शुक्रगृहे पापवीक्षितो वर्षात्। मारयति नरं जातं सुधारसो येन पीतोऽपि॥८॥ रविशशिभवने शुक्रो द्वावशरिपुरन्ध्रगः शुभः सरवेः। दृष्टः करोति षडि्भर्वर्षेर्मरणं किमत्र चित्रं हि। ६॥ 1. Some texts read भौमगृहे while still some read शुक्र गूहे, in place of वृषगृहे

116 Saravali

8-9. Even if there be a single malefic in the 8th house, owned by Venus and aspected by other malefics, the native lives for one year only inspite of the fact that he may drink nectar. If Venus is in the 12th, 6th or 8th house, owned by the Sun or the Moon, and is aspected by all benefics, the life span is six years. कर्कटधामनि सौम्य: षष्ठाष्टमसंस्थितो विलग्नर्क्षात : चन्द्रेरण मारयति ॥ १० ॥ तीव्रफलराजयोगा यवनादयैर्ये विनिर्मितास्तेषु। जायन्ते खलु कुलजा रिष्टं तेषु प्रसूतानाम्॥ ११॥ 10-11. If Mercury occupies Cancer identical with 6th or 8th from ascendant and is aspected by the Moon, life is only upto 4. The efficacious Raja Yogas expounded by Yavanas may produce persons of high descent; even such children are subject to premature end, in this case. Notes : For the first rule, the ascendant should either be Aquarius or Sagittarius, so that Mercury is in 6th or 8th in Cancer. Thus, the Moon becomes the lord of the 6th for Aquarius and the lord of the 8th for Sagittarius. Her aspect on Mercury is deemed to curtail longevity to four years. In sloka 11, the author hints at the fact that even though a person may be born with powerful Rajayogas, if Arishta yogas indicating premature death are simultaneously present, the latter prevails. Of what use are Rajayogas in the face of Arishtas ? यो हि। मासद्वयेन मरणं विनिर्दिशेत्तस्य जातस्य ॥ १२॥ गगनस्थो दिवसकरः पापर्बलिभिनिरीक्षितः सद्यः। मारयति भौमधामनि शनिभे च न संशञयो भवति ॥ १३ ॥ 12-13. If lhe birth star is identical with the one in which Ketu1 rises, the native lives only for two months. Should the

1. Ketu has been interpreted as Dhuma Ketu by some translators.

Chapter 10 117

Sun be in the 10th house identical with that of Mars or Saturn and aspected by strong malefic,1 the native faces immediate death. लग्ने यद्देककारणा निगडाहिविहङ्गपाशधरसंज्ञाः । मरणाय सप्तवर्षेः क्रूरयुता न स्वपतिदृष्टाः॥ १४॥ राहुश्चतुष्टयस्थो मराय निरीक्षितो भवति पापैः । वर्ष र्वदन्ति दशभिः षोडशभिः केचिदाचार्याः।। १५।। 14-15. Should the ascendant fall in Nigala, Sarpa, Pakshi or Pasa decanate and be occupied by malefic planets, without the aspect of the decante lord concerned, the native lives upto 7 years only. If Rahu is in an angle and aspected by malefics, the longevity is only 10, while according to some, it is 16. Notes : For example, Sarpa drekkana in Pisces is the 3rd decanate, i. e. 20 degrees-30 degrees. Suppose Rahu is in 20-30 degree area of Pisces. He should be aspected by Mars, the ruler of Scorpio where the 3rd decanate falls, so that the child lives beyond 7 years of its age. Similary for other decanates.

If malefics are angles and trines, while benefics are relegated to 6th, 8th and 12th, one born at the time of Sun rise dies at. once. If the three planets, viz. the lords of Navamsa Lagna, Moon sign and natal ascendant, are combust, the person lives just for a few years. Notes : Benefics posited in evil houses as malefics occupy Lagna, 4th, 7th, 10th, 5th or 9th, death is imminent if birth takes place at Sun rise. With the combustion by the Sun to Lords of Lagna, Navamsa Lagna and of woon sign, the longevity is highly afflicted.

राशिप्रमितैवर्षैर्मारयति विलग्नपो रिपुस्थाने। मासैर्द्रेक्काणपतिदिव सैरंशाधिपो हन्ति ॥ १८ ॥ 18. If the 6th house (from the ascendant) is occupied by the ascendant lord, death occurs in the year corresponding to Rasi concerncd; if the occupant is the lord of rising decanate, deaith occurs in the month corresponding to the Rasi concerned and if it is lord of Navamsa Lagna, the Rasi concerned causes dealth in so many days. Notes : Suppose Virgo rises at birth and the sixth house, Aquarius, is occupied by Mercury, Lord of agna, death occurs in the 11th year as Aquarius is the 11th Rasi of the zodiac. Death in 11 months should be expected if in the said case, sixth is occupied by the natal decanate's lord. The native, dies in 11 days, if the said Aquarius is occupied by the lord of : Navamsa Lagna. मारयति षोडशाहै: शनैश्चरः पापवीक्षितो लग्ने। संयुक्तो मासेन तु वर्षाच्छुद्धस्तु मारयति॥ १६॥ 19. If Saturn is in the ascendant in aspect to malefics1 longevity is only 16 days; if Saturn in the ascendant is in the company of malefics, death occurs in a month and if he is alone in the ascendant without malefic connections, the child lives for one year. Notes: Saturn alone in Lagna identical with Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius or Pisces is not adverse for longevity. His lonely occupation in other Lagnas are pronoun- cedly harmful for longevity. According to Sage Jambunada's Jambu Nadeeyam, one with Saturn in ascendant identical with Libra, Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius or Capricorn will possess

20-22.If weak Moon is in the ascendant excepting Cancer, Taurus and Aries, and is aspected by malefics the child passes away (soon). The Moon in the 6th or 8th if aspected by male- fics, causes death in one year, while when aspected by benefics, she kills in the 8th year. Should the aspect be from both bene- fics and malefics, the life span is only 4. This should de decided according to the strength of such bodies.

Notes ; Vide Jambu Nadeeyam, if weak Moon occupies the birth ascendant identical with Cancer or Aries, the native will be wealthy, and virtuous. If the Moon occupies ascendant coinciding with a human sign or centiped sign, the native will be wicked, deaf, dumb or will be stammering in speech. सौम्या: षष्ठाष्टमगा: पापर्वक्रोपसङ्गतैर्द्ष्टाः । मासेन मृत्युदास्ते यदि न शुर्भस्तत्र सन्दृष्टा: ॥२३।

Should benefics be in the 6th or the 8th and be aspected or conjoined with retrograde malefic, without the aspect of (another) benefic, the child lives only for one month. If malefics are in the 12th, 2nd, 6th and 8th, without connection of benefics, the child dies in 6 or 8 months. लग्नाधिपजन्मपती षष्ठाष्टृमरिष्फगौ प्रसवकाले। अ्रस्तमितौ मरणकरौ राशिप्रमितैर्वदेद्वर्षेः ।।२५।। होराधिपतिर्द्यूने पापजितो मरणमेव विदधाति। मासेन जन्मनाथस्तद्वच्चन्द्रो यदा न शुभदृष्टः ॥ २६।। 25-26. If the lords of Lagna and the Moon sign are together in 6th, 8th or 12th and be combust, the child dies in the year corresponding to the Rasi.1 Should the lord of the ascendant be in the 7th, defeated2 by a malefic and be without a benefic's aspect, death occurs in a month. Similar clues should be drawn from the Moon and her dispositor. 1. See notes under sloka 18 of this chapter. 2. This obviously refers to planetary war.

चन्द्रः कुजरवियुक्तः स्वसुतस्थाने न चापि शुभदृष्टः । मरणं शिशोः प्रयच्छति वर्षे नवमे न सन्देहः ॥२७॥ होरेश्वरस्तु मृत्यौ पापैः सकलैश्च दृश्यते बलिभिः। मासि चतुर्थे मरणं जातस्य करोति मुनिवाक्यम् ॥२८॥ 27-28. If the Moon is conjoined with Mars and the Sun and be in the 2nd or 5th unaspected by benefics, the child doubtlessly dies in the 9th year. Sages declare that if the ascendant lord is in the 8th in aspect to all the malefics, who are with strength, the child dies in the fourth month.

वर्षै जन्माधिपतिः सूर्य: स्वपुत्रसहितोऽष्टमे भवति राशौ। राशिप्रमितैर्मरणाय सितेन सन्दृष्टः २६॥ व्ययाष्ट्रषष्ठोदयगे शशाङ्ग पापेन युक्ते शुभदृष्टिहीने। केद्रेषु सौम्यग्रहवजितेषु प्राणैवियोगं व्रजति प्रजातः ।३०।।

29-30. If the lord of the Moon sign, the Sun and his son are in the 8th house, the child dies in the year correspond- ing to the Rasi concerned.1 Should the Moon be with malefics, be in the 12th, 8th, 6th or ascendant and be not aspected by benefics, while benefics are non-angular, the child dies at once. चकरस्य पूर्वभागे पापा: सौम्यास्तथेतरे चैव। वृश्चिकलग्ने जाता गतायुषो वज्रमुष्टियोगेऽस्मिन् ॥३१॥ क्षीणे शशिनि विलग्ने पापैः केन्द्रेषु मृत्युसंस्थैर्वा। भवति विपत्तिरवश्यं यवनाधिपतेर्मतं चैतत् ॥३२॥

31-32. If malefics are in the oriental half of the zodiac, with benefics relegated to the occidental half, birth in Scorpio Ascendant causes what is called Vajra Mushti yoga. One born in such a yoga does hardly live. According to Yavanas, if weak Moon is in Lagna while malefics are angular or in the 8th house (instant) death is caused.2

1. See notes under Sloka 18 of this chapter. 2. See notes under Sloka 20, chapter 10.

Chapter 10 121

Notes : The oriental half or eastern half (i.e. ya"rr) in Hindu astrology is the area from the 10th bhava madhya to the 4th bhava madhya i.e. second half of 10th, then the 11th bhava, 12th, Lagna, 2nd, 3rd and first half of 4th bhava. The rest of the horoscope i.e. first half of 10th, then the 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th and the second half of the 4th is called occidental half or T "ITT of the horoscope. (These two are different from visible and invisible halves of the chart). In the sloka, the ascendant is fixed as Scorpio. Hence malefics posited in the zone of Leo 2nd half through Aquarius first half and benefics posited in second half of Aquarius through first half of Leo can cause death at the very boyhood.

राश्यन्तगतः पापः सन्ध्यायां तुहिनरश्मिहोरायाम्। मृत्यु: प्रत्येकस्थः केन्द्रेषु शशाङ्गपापैशच ॥३३॥ द्यूनचतुरश्रसंस्थे पापद्वयमध्यगे शशिनि जातः। विलयं प्रयाति नियतं देवैरपि रक्षितो बालः ॥३४॥ 33-34. One born in twilight does not live long, if the ascendant falls in lunar hora, while malefics are posited in the end of the Rasis which are angular, along with the Moon. Should the Moon be amidst two malefis and be in the 7th, 4th or 8th, even Gods cannot save one from (instant) death.

Notes : Sandhya means the junction of day and night or the night and day. If one is born at this time while the Lagna falls in the Hora of Moon (i.e. Lagna being 2nd half of an odd Rasi or the first half of an even Rasi), and while malefics with Moon are in the last portions of the Rasis occupied by them, and be angular, death is early. Individually, the Moon should not be in the 4th, 7th or 8th hemmed between two malefics for a long life.

पापद्वयमध्यगते होरासप्ताष्टमस्थिते चन्द्रे। सौम्येरबलर्ट ष्टे जातो म्रियते ध्रुवं ह्यत्र ॥३५॥ द्यूनाष्टमगैः पापैः क्रूरग्रहवीक्षितः सह जनन्या। स्रियते शुभसंदृष्टः सत्यस्य मताद्वदेद्वयाधिम् ॥३६॥

122 Saravali

35-36. If the Moon is hemmed between two malefics, be in the ascendant the 7th or the 8th and be in aspect to weak benefics, (infant) death follows. Should malefics be in the 7th and 8th and be aspected by malefics, the child dies along . with its mother. If there be aspect from benefics in such a | case, the mother becomes sick, (i.e. there will not be immediate .. death). ग्रहरोपगते चन्द्रे सक्ररे लग्नगे कुजेऽषटमगे। मात्रा सार्धं स्रियते चन्द्रवदर्के च शस्त्रेणा ।।३७।। क्षोणे शशिनि विलग्ने कण्टकनिधनाश्रितस्तथा पापैः। सौम्यादृष्टे मृत्युः सद्यः सत्यस्य निर्देशः॥३८॥ . 37-38. If the Moon be eclipsed (i e. lunar eclipse operating at birth) and be in the ascendant along with malefics, while "Mars is in the 8th house, the child quits the world along with its mother. The mother dies of weapons along with the child, if it be a solar eclipse with Sun and malefics in the ascendant while Mars is in the 8th house. Should weak Moon be in the ascen- .dant, and malefics be angular or in the 8th, without benefic's aspect, death is imminent. This view is of Satyacharya.

होरानिधनास्तगतैः पापैः क्षीणे व्ययस्थिते चन्द्रे। जातस्य भवेन्मरणं सद्यः केन्द्रेषु चेदशुभाः॥४०॥ 39-40. The undermentioned combinations cause death soon : (a) The Sun in the 7th while Saturn or Mars is in the ascendant.

(b) The Sun in the ascendant, while Saturn or Mars is in the 7th. (c) Saturn or Mars joining the Moon and be not aspect- ed by benefics. (d) Malefics in the ascendant, 8th, 7th, 4th and 10th the Moon be decreasing in the 12th.

Chapter 10 :c123

लग्नान्त्यनवमनैधनसंयुक्ताश्चन्द्रसूर्यसौराराः जातस्य वधकृतः स्युः सद्यो गुरुणा न चेद्दृष्टाः।४१। लग्ने चन्द्रेडर्के वा पापा बलिनस्त्रिकोणनिधनेषु। सौम्यैरद्ृष्टयुक्ताः सदो मराय कीतिता यवनैः ॥४२॥

41-42. The Moon, the Sun, Saturn and Mars are capable of inflicting infant death if they are together in the ascendant, the 12 th, 9th or 8th unaspected by Jupiter of the ascendant is tenanted by the Sun or the Moon while malefics are in trines or the 8th and be not aspected by or conjoined with benefics, according to Yavanas, infant death is caused.

Notes : As per the first rule, the four planets, viz. the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Saturn should join either in the ascendant or in the 8th, or in the 12th or in the 9th to cause child mortality. If they are, however, aspected by Jupiter, the yoga stands nulified. Secondly, when the ascendant is occupied by the Sun or the Moon while malefics are in th 5th/ 9th/ 8th without relief from benefics, infant death is indicated. शुको रविशनिसहितो मारयति नरं सदा प्रसवकाले। दृष्टोडपि देवगुरुणा नवभिर्वर्षैर्न सन्देहः॥४३॥

यत्रस्थस्तत्रस्थो रुधिरार्कशन३ वरेक्षितरचन्द्रः। जननीमृत्युं कुर्यान्न तु सौम्यनिरीक्षितः सद्यः॥४४॥

43-44. Venus joining the Sun and Saturn causes instant death. This combination doubtlessly gives death in the 9th year if aspected by Jupiter. Death in childhood occurs if the Moon is conjoined with Mars, the Sun and Saturn, provided unas- pacted by benefic planets. Notes : Should Venus join the Sun and Saturn, the child will die immediately at birth. If the combination is aspected by Jupiter, then the longevity is extended upto nine. Similarly the Moon, Mars, the Sun and Saturn in conjunction will cause child mortality, if benefics give help, this yoga does.not prevail and the child will live long, if favourable yogas are present.

124 Saravali

रुधिरशनैश्चरदृष्टो दिवसकरो दिवसजन्मनि तु यस्य। पापयुतो वा हन्यात पितरं निःसंशयं जातः॥४५।।

रहितो बुधगुरुशुक्रर्जन्मनि रुधिराङ्गसौरसहितोऽर्कः। कथयति पितरमतीतं पितुरपि च शरीरकर्तारम् ॥४६॥

45-46. If the Sun is aspected by Mars and Saturn in the case of a day birth, it soon leads to death of the father. The Sun joining malefics (for day birth) also indicates the same effect. The child's father and paternal grand father will face early death if the Sun is in the ascendant along with Mars and Saturn but unrelated to Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Notes : For a native born in day time, the Sun in aspect to Mars and Saturn or the Sun in the company of malefics (i.e. Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or Mars) can cause father's early death. This is more sure to follow if the house involved is the 9th or the 10th. If the Sun be in the ascendant with Mars and Saturn, not connected with Mercury, Venus or Jupiter (or even the Full Moon aspecting from the 7th), it may kill the father or grand-father. Incidentally, if the (Full) Moon in 7th is aspected by Mars, the Sun and Saturn, unhelped by benefics, it may prove adverse for the mother of the child.

पापद्वयमध्यगतो दिवसकरो दिवसजन्मनिरतस्य। पापयुतो वा हन्यात पितरं निःसंशपं जातः॥४७।। सूर्यादष्टमराशौ यदि युक्तौ सौरलोहितौ प्रसवे। सौम्यादृष्टौ निधनं कुर्यातां सद्य एव पितुः॥४८॥

47-48. If the Sun is hemmed between two malefics or is conjoined with malefics, one born during day time loses his father early without any doubt. The child's father at once quits the world if the planet Sun has Mars and Saturn in the 8th from him unaspected by benefics. Notes : The Sun is the indicator of father for day births. His being free from malefic connections is essential for a long life of father when the birth takes place during day time. Similarly, Saturn rules father for night birth and hence he

Chapter 10 125

should be well placed to help the longevity of father in the case of night birth. According to the above slokas, if the 8th from the Sun is occupied by both Saturn and Mars, longevity of the father is affected. This applies to a day birth. In the case of a night birth, if the 8th from Saturn is occupied by Mars and Rahu (or even by the Sun), the child's father faces quick death. Hence, the 8th house from the Sun for a day-birth and 8th from Saturn for a night-birth should be well-disposed so that the father has a long life.

पापग्रहसंयुक्तश्चरराशिगतो दिवाकरः प्रसवे। विषशस्त्रजलान्मृत्युं कथयत्यल्पायुषं पितरम् ॥४६॥

चन्द्रादष्टमराशौ नवमे वा सप्तनेऽपि वा पापाः । सर्वे तत्रान्सतमे हन्युर्जातं सह जनन्या ॥५०।।

49-50. If at birth the Sun is in a movable Rasi along with malefics, the father of the child dies of poison, weapons etc. Malefics (or even a malefic) in the 8th, 9th or 7th from the Moon can cause death of the child along with its mother.

चरराशिगते सूर्ये दिनजन्मनि वीक्षिते कुपुत्रेण। कथयत विदेशयातं जातस्य शरीरकर्तारम् ॥५१। चरराशिगतं सौरं यद्यर्को रात्रिजन्मनीक्षेत। अत्रापि विदेशस्थं कथयति पितरं प्रसूतत्य ॥५२।। 51-52. The fathe of the child was away at the time of birth if the Sun is in a movable sign, in case of day birth, and aspected by Mars. Saturn in a movable Rasi and in aspect to the Sun in the case of night birth, denotes same results.

रुधिरसहितस्तु सौरश्चरभवने रात्रिजन्मनिरतस्य। कथयति पितरमतीतं परदेशे नाऽत्र सन्देहः ॥५३॥

यत्रस्थस्तत्रस्थः स्वपुत्र रुधिराङ्ग्सङ्गतः सूर्यः। प्राग्जन्मनो निवृत्तं कथयति पितरं प्रसूतस्य ।।५४।।

126 Saravali

53-54. In the case of night birth, if Saturn is in a movable sign along with Mars, the father undoubtedly dies in a distant place. If the Sun joins Mars and Saturn in any Rasi, the father dies before the birth of the native. Note : See sloka 46 of this chapter and notes there of. जन्माष्टृसप्तषष्ठद्वादशसंस्थेषु चैव पापेषु। माता सुतेन साधं स्रियते नास्त्यत्र सन्देहः ॥५५॥ जीवति माता म्रियते सूनुः षष्ठान्त्यगेषु पापेषु। जन्माष्टृसप्तमेषु च जोवति सूनुस्रि्रियेत तन्माता ॥५६।। 55-56. If malefics are disposed in the Ascendant, 8th, 7th, 6th and 12th, the child dies along with its mother. There is no doubt in it. Should only the 6th and 8th be occupied by malefics, the mother does not die but the child dies. The reverse is true if malefics are in the ascendant, 8th and the 7th.

Notes : Both the child and mother die early if malefics are in Lagna, 8th, 7th, 6th and 12th. Only the mother dies if the Lagna, 7th and 8th are occupied by malefics. It is the child that dies if the 6th and 8th are occupied by malefics. वक्रो वा सौरो वा द्वादशसंस्थो नयनहन्ता। दक्षिणनयनं सौरो वाममथाङ्गारको हन्यात् ।५७।। युगपच्चन्द्रादित्यौ द्वादशभे निष्ठितौ ग्रहौ स्याताम्। कुरुतः प्रसूतमन्धं पापः षष्ठेऽथ वा "निधने ॥५८॥ अथ वाप्यन्यतरयुते द्वादशभे वापि जायमानस्य। अत्रापि हरेन्नयनं दक्षिणमर्कः शशी सव्यम्॥५६॥ स्वर्भानुनोपसृष्टा यदि होरा दिनकरश्च जामित्रे। जातस्तत्र मनुष्यो निःसन्दिग्धं भवत्यन्धः ॥६०।। धनभावे द्वादशभे चन्द्रः सूर्यश्च निष्ठितो यत्र। तत्रापि भवत्यन्धो यद्यष्टमषष्ठयोः पापौ ॥६१॥ रजनिकर: षष्ठगतो निधने सूर्यो रवेः सुतस्तु शुभे। वक्र: कुटुम्बराशावत्राप्यन्धो भवेज्जातः ।।६२।।

57-67. YOGAS ADVERSE FOR EYES : Mars or Saturn in 12th can deprive the native of his eyes-Saturn right eye and Mars left eye. The native becomes blind if the Sun and the Moon are in 12th while 6th and 8th are occupied by malefics. Even if one among the Sun and the Moon is in the 12th. damage to eye is indicated; the Sun affects the right eye while the Moon affects the left one. If Rahu is in the ascedant while the Sun is in the 7th, the native is blind by birth. Should the 2nd and the 12th be occupied by the Moon and the Sun, while malefics are in the 8th and 6th, person born is blind. If the Moon is in the 6th, the Sun in the 8th, Saturn in the 9th and Mars in the 2nd, simultaneously, the native is blind. Should the Moon be in the company of Mars and Saturn and be posited in the 8th or the 6th, the native loses his eye sight due to bilious and phlegmatic imba- lances. The said Moon should be conjunct other malefics, apart from Mars and Saturn. In this combination if the house involving the Moon is the 8th, the damage is to the right eye and if it be the 6th, the left eye is damaged. Should, however, this combination be aspected by benefics, the damage is not at birth but will be later on. If the Moon is in the 8th or the 12th along with Saturn and be aspected by malefics, eye sight is lost due to windy and phlegmatic complaints-here also, the 8th

128 Saravali

indicates right eye while the 12th the left eye And if benefics aspect the said Moon in the 8th/12th, the loss is not at birth bnt in the course of time. If the Moon is thus associated with Saturn and the Sun (in several ways), damage to eyes is to be predicted. Notes : There are umpteen combinations to know about eye afflictions, thus : If the 2nd lord joins Venus or is aspected by him or is trinal or angular to him, adversity of sight should be expected. The same result occurs if the 2nd lord is connected with Lagna Lord as above. The luminaries in the 2nd cause night-blindness. Should the lords of Lagna and 2nd house be in an angle along with the Sun, the child born is blind. Should these join the the 9th lord, the father becomes blind. (vide Parasara Samhita) See what Sarvartha Chintamani says in this regard : Should the lord of the 2nd along with the Lagna lord be in an evil house, loss of sight is caused. Night-blindness occurs if Venus and Moon join the 2nd lord. Mars in the 12th damages the left eye. Saturn so posited damages the right eye. The Sun and Moon in Leo Lagna in aspect to Mars or Saturn afflict the eyes. Eye diseases are caused if the 2nd lord is conjunct Gulika, Mars and Saturn. If the Navamsa dispositor of the 2nd lord joins malefics in a malefic Rasi, same effect prevails.

68-70. YOGAS ADVERSE FOR EARS : The Moon in 11th, 3rd or the ascendant along with malefics causes defects of the ears. If she is aspected by malefics, the effect is along

Chapter 10 129

with birth-i.e. immediate. Should the 9th and the 5th be aspected or occupied by malefics, ear defects at the time of birth exist. Malefics in the 9th affect the right ear while in the 5th, they damage the left ear. Benefics aspecting or occupying these houses, cause on the other hand good in respect of ears.

71-73. Whichever Rasi is indicative of a disease shall be treated as the limb to be afflicted by such disease. The Moon sign can also be similarly considered. Benefics cause birth marks on the right or left side of the body according to their occupation. Should malefics aspect these benefics loss of con- cerned limb should be expected. Malefics and benefics accord- ing to their association with the Moon and the visible and invisible halves (counted from Lagna) cause bad and good results in this respect. चन्द्रादित्यौ तृतीयस्थौ मीनक्षेत्रस्य यस्य तु। व्याधि तत्र विजानीयात् त्रिरात्रं तस्य जीवितम् ॥७४॥

DEATH IN FEW DAYS : The Sun and the Moon in the 3rd house identical with Pisces cause illness from birth and the child lives only for three days. If the Moon is in the 10th from the ascendant while the Sun singly or with all others is in the 3rd asterism from that occupied by the Moon, the

¥130 Saravali

child lives only for one night. The life span is just one week, if the Sun and Mars are in the 7th from the Moon. चतुरश्रस्थिता: पापा वामदक्षिखगा यदा। तदा यो व्याधिमाप्नोति दशरात्रं स जीवति॥७७॥ त्रिकोणे दक्षिणे सूर्यश्चन्द्रो वामे यदा भवेत्। यस्तदा लभते व्याधि द्वादशाहं स जीवति ॥७८॥ त्रिकोणस्थो यदा चन्द्रश्चतुरश्रेऽथ भास्करः। तदा दुर्व्याधिना युक्तस्त्रिरात्रं नातिवर्तते ॥७६॥ यदा होरा-चतुर्थस्थश्चन्द्रः षष्ठस्थितो रविः। अष्टादशाहं च नरस्तदा व्याधिसमन्वितः ।।८०।। रविर्यदा चन्द्रमसस्त्रिकोस्थानमाश्रितः । विशतत दिवसान् जीवेत्तदा व्याधिभयार्दितः ।।८१।। होराष्टमस्थितः सूर्यः सौरभौमनिरीक्षितः। यः पुमान् प्राप्नुयाद्वयाधि न स जीवेद्विपद्यते ॥८२। 77-82. EFFECTS OF TIME OF STARTING OF DIS- EASES : The following combinations prevailing at the time of commencement of a disease cause death in so many days as indicated : (1) Malefics in 4th and 8th from Lagna-10 days. (2) Malefics in 2nd and 12th from Lagna-10 days (3) The Sun in 5th while Moon is in 9th from the ascen- dant-12 days. (4) The Moon in angle while the Sun is in 4th or 8th- 3 nights. (5) The Moon in the 4th while the Sun is in the 6th- 18 days. (6) The Sun in the 5th or 9th from the Moon-20 days. (7) The Sun in the ascendant or the 8th and in aspect to Saturn and Mars -- will finally inflict death on the patient. Notes : If the time of commencement of a disease is not properly noted, then the application of these principles and such

Chapter 10 131

others will lead to pit falls only. For detailed information, see Ch. 13 of Prasna Marga. हेरायां कण्टके भौमो भवेद्यस्य प्रजायतः । न च केन्द्रगतो जीवो जायते मृत एव सः॥८३॥ अथ होरागतः सूर्यो न च केन्द्रे बृहस्पतिः। निधने पापकः कश्चित् जातमात्रो विनश्यति ॥८४॥ होरायां कण्टके चन्द्रो न च केन्द्रे बृहस्पतिः। निधने पापकः कश्चित् जातमात्रो विनश्यति ॥८५॥ द्रेक्काणजामित्रगतो यस्य स्याद्दारुणग्रहः। होरागतः शशाङ्कशच सद्यो हरति जीवितम् ॥८६।। ग्रहा: समेयुर्बहवो निधने यस्य जन्मनि। मासं वा सप्तरात्रं वा तस्यायुः समुदाहृतम् ॥८७॥ शनश्चरश्च होरायां, निधने च महीसुतः। न च देवगुरुः केन्द्रे मृतगर्भः प्रसूयते॥८८॥ 83-88. Mars in Lagna or other angles while Jupiter is not so, causes death. The Sun in Lagna, Jupiter non-angular and malefics in the 8th cause immediate death. Similar results should be predicted if the Moon is in the ascendant, while Jupiter is in a place other than angles and malefics are in the 8th. Malefics in the 7th from the rising decanate while the Moon is in the ascendant will also cause death at birth. (In this case, the Moon shall be in the rising decanate while malefics shall occupy the 19th decanate). A majority of planets in the 8th- primarilv malefics-indicate longeveity ranging from seven days to one month. A dead child is born if Saturn is in the ascendant while Mars is in the 8th, with Jupiter being not in an angle. Notes : Mars in Lagna, 4th, 7th or 10th can affect longevity, if not capable of causing infant death, when Jupiter does not protect the native by being angular, according to sloka 83 above. Other principles in the above group of slokas may accordingly be understood.

132 Saravali

यः प्राग्विलग्ने द्रेक्काणस्तत्समानो यदा ग्रहः। भवेत्त्रिकोणगः पापस्तत्समानफलो भवेत् ॥८ह॥ सौरे व्याधिमवाप्नोति मरणं धरणीसुते। सूर्ये स्याद्वयाधिवैकल्यं मरणं नात्र संशयः ॥६०।। 89-90. MALEFICS IN RISING DECANATE AND TRINES THEREOF : Saturn in the rising decanate while a malefic is in the 5th and another in the 9th-the latter two should be exactly on trinal decanates as Saturn is-indicates disease. Mars in the place of Saturn in the said combnation denotes (infant) death while the Sun so placed indicates disease, deformity or death.

Notes : If Saturn is in the first decanate of the rising sign-another malefic in the first decanate in the 5th Risi and yet another malefic in the 9th Rasi will cause disease of a serious nature. If Saturn is in the 2nd or 3rd decanate in the rising sign, then the other malefics referred to should also be in corresponding decanates. Similarly, Mars replacing Saturn will denote carly death while the Sun replacing will cause deformity, disecase or death. अथ होरागतो भौम: केन्द्रस्थशच भृगोः सुतः। स वै मरणमाप्नोति होरायां पुनरागतै ॥६१॥ 91. DEATH : If at birth Mars is in the ascendant while Venus is in an angle, Mars causes death when he resumes the same point in the next round in his transit. Notes : Let us assume that Mars is in Aquarius ascen- dant and Venus is in Leo, an angle. After the birth, when Mars reaches Aquarius again, it is deterimental to the longevity of the child. So to say, such a child will not live for more than the period identical with one full course of the zodiac by Mars. He normally takes fortyfive days to traverse one sign of the zodiac.

गुरुस्त्रिकोणे होरायां होरेशश्च महीसुतः। तस्यान्यतरकेन्द्रस्थः सद्यो जीवितनाशनः ॥६२॥।

Chapter 10 133

92. If Jupiter is in a trine, ascendant lord in the ascen- dant and Mars in an angle to one of them, it can cause immediate death. Note : In this case, Mars should be angular to Jupiter or Lagna. न नैधने ग्रहः कश्चित् पापो होरागतोऽथ वा। केन्द्रेष्वन्यतमे जीवो जीवत्यष्टृशतोत्तरम् ॥६३।। न केन्द्रे कश्चिदाग्नेयो न त्रिकोणे न नैधने। गुरुशुकौ च केन्द्रस्थौ जीवेदष्टशताधिकम् ॥६४। यदि होरागतः शुकः केन्द्रेष्वन्यतमे गुरुः। नैधने न च पाप: स्यात् सर्विशं जीवते शतम् ॥६५॥ राशौ कर्कटहोरायां गुरुशुक्ौ समन्वितौ। गुरुश्चन्द्रयुतो वाऽपि निधने न च कश्चन ॥६६।। न च केन्द्रगता: पापा न त्रिकोणे न नैधने। तस्यायुरमरप्रख्यं निश्चयेन च कीर्त्यते ॥६७।। 93-97. EXCEEDINGLY LONG LIFE : The native lives for 108 years if the 8th house is not occupied, while ascendant is free from malefic residence and Jupiter is in an angle. A span of over 108 years is granted if Jupiter and Venus are in an angle, while there are no malefics in trines and the 8th. Predict 120 years of life if Venus is in the ascendant, Jupiter is in an angle other than the ascendant and the 8th house is not occupied by malefics. Similar span of life is given if Jupiter is in Caneer ascendant along with Venus or the Moon while the 8th house is not occupied. If angles, trines and the 8th house are not occupied by malefics, one's longevity is comparable to that of Gods. निधनास्तव्यय लग्नत्रिकोणगाः क्षीणचन्द्रसंयुक्ताः। पापा बलिनः शुभदैरद्दश्यमाना गतायुरेव स्यात्/।।६८।। 98. ELAPSED LONGEVITY : Weak Moon along with malefics if posited in th e 8th, 7th, 12th, 1st, 5th or 9th and unaspected by benefics will only grant elapsed longevity, i.e. immediate death.

134 Saravali

Note : The occupation of weak Moon and malefics in the said houses, without benefic aspect is capable of causing death in childhood. योगे बलिनः स्थानं स्वंवा लग्नं गतेऽपि वा चन्द्रे। बलवति पापद्दष्टे वर्षान्तर्मृ त्युकाल: स्यात॥६६॥ 99. TIMING INFANT DEATH: When the child with powerful infant mortal combinations is in its first year, death will come to pass if the Moon with strength passes over the natal position of another qualified planet, or on its own natal position (i.e. Janma Rasi) or natal ascendant. In all these cases, the Moon should be aspectcd by malefics.

Notes : The sloka gives clue to the effect of finding out the day of dcath in case of powerful child mortality. The Moon with strength in transit if moves over her own natal position or over the natal ascendant or over another planet's natal position capable of curtailing longevity can cause the end of the child.

रविचन्द्रभौमगुरुभिः खलु पञ्चभिर्वर्षैः॥१००॥ रविरणा युक्त: शशिजोऽसौम्यैट ष्टो विनाशरयत नूनम्। एकादशभिर्वरषैर्देवाङकेडपि स्थितं जातम्॥१०१॥ लग्ने रविमन्दकुजा: शुकगृहे सप्तमेशशी क्षीणाः। दृष्टो न देवगुरुखा सप्तभिरब्दैविनाशयति ॥१०२॥ 3 केन्द्रेरविमुषिततनुः क्षितिसुतमन्दावलोकितोऽथ युतः। वर्षचतुष्के चन्द्रो मारयति किमत्र गरिगतेन ॥१०३॥ 100-103. DEATH IN CHILDHOOD : Any one group of the following planets joining in one house will cause death in five years : (1) The Sun, the Moon, Mars and Jupiter (2) Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon (3) The Sun, Saturn, Mars and the Moon. Even if a child is on the God's laps, it will die in 11th year if the Sun conjunct Mercury is aspected by malefics. Death within 7 years of age will occur if the Sun is in the ascendant along with Mars and Saturn while declining Moon

Chapter 10 135

is in the 7th in a house owned by Venus, provided this combi- nation is not aspected by Jupiter. Should the Sun and the declining Moon be in angles and be conjunct with or in aspect to Mars and Saturn, the child has a longevity of only 4 years. In these cases, i.e. where child mortality is indicated, there is no use of making any calculations.

Notes : Each group of planets as above being togcther at birth can cause child mortality. The Sun and Mercury being in conjunction and in aspect to severe malefics can cause death in the eleventh year. If the ascendant is Aries or Scorpio, and is occupied by the Sun, Mars and Saturn while the 7th house is tenanted by declining Moon (i.e. the lunisolar angle being less than 180 degrees), death in the 7th year is denoted. Jupiter's aspect (on the 7th or the ascendant) is a redeeming feature. The Sun in one angles the Moon of dark half in another angle (i.e. the Moon with diminishing angular distance with reference to the Sun-for example when the Sun is in the 10th, dark half Moon can be in the 7th), and the company of or aspect to Mars and Saturn (i.e. Mars and Saturn can individually be connected with the luminaries or both of them either connected with the Sun or the Moon), the 4th year of age will be fatal for the child. The author says that when child mortality is powerful in the horoscope, no other calculations need be made in the matter of longevity.

लग्नाधिपतेश्चन्द्रो मरणपदस्थोऽतिकृष्णतां यातः । क्रूरैः सकलैदृष्टो न शुभः सर्वैस्त्रिभिस्तु मारयति ॥१०४॥

104. DEATH IN THIRD YEAR: If waning Moon or Lagna Lord be in the Marana Pada and aspected by all the malefics, but not benefics, the length of life is only 3 years. Notes : Maranapada has been interpreted as 8th house by some. But it actually means the Rasi counted so many signs away from the Rasi in which the 8th lord is as he is away from the 8th. Note how many signs away the 8th lord is from the 8th. So many Rasis away from the 8th lord's Rasi is. Marana Pada. For example, take a Capricorn native. His 8th

136 Saravali

Rasi is Leo lorded by the Sun. Assume that the Sun (8th Lord) is in Aries, i.e. 9 Rasis away from Leo, the 8th. So count 9 Rasis from Aries, the Sun sign. We get Sagittarius, thus, as Marana Pada. लग्नाधिपतिः पापः शशिनोंऽशे रिःफगो यदि च चन्द्रात। क्रूरैविलोक्यमानो मारयति शिशुं नवभिरब्दैः॥१०५॥ दर्शनभागे सौम्याः क्रूराश्चादृश्यके प्रसवकाले। राहुर्लग्नोपगतो यमक्षयं नयति पञ्चभिर्वर्षैः॥१०६॥ राहुः सप्तमभवने शशिसूर्यनिरीक्षितो न शुभदृष्टः। दशभिद्वा्यां सहितरब्दर्जातं विनाशयति ॥१०७॥

105-107. If all benefic planets are in the visible ,half of the zodiac while malefics are relegated the invisible half-Rahu be specifically in the ascendant-at the time of birth, the longe- vity is only 3 years. Should Rahu be in the 7th house in exclu- sive aspect to the luminaries and be unaspected by others, death before the age of 12 is denoted. घट सिंह वृश्चिकोदयकृतस्थितिर्जीवितं हरति राहुः। पापैनिरीक्ष्यमाणः सप्तमितैनिश्चितं वर्षैः॥१०८॥ केतोरुदयः पू्वं पश्चादुल्कादिपवननिर्घाताः। रौद्रे सार्पमुहूर्ते प्राणैः सन्त्यज्यते जन्तु: ॥१०६॥ क्षीणं यदा शशाङ्क पश्येद्राहुः समागतं पापैः। मारयति तदा दिवसैनिर्व्याजं कतिपयरेव ॥११०॥

108-110. If Rahu is in Aquarius, Leo or Scorpio identical with the ascendant and is aspected by malefics, the life span is only 7. If Dhuma Ketu rises followed by fall of meteor and strong gale and if birth occurs in Raudra Muhurta or Sarpa Muhurta, the subject invites early death. Notes : Rudara Muhurta is for four ghatis Sun-rise while Sarpa Muhurta rules for 48 minutes from Sun set. If declining Moon is conjunct malefics, aspecting Rahu, death within few days of birth is to be declared.

111-114. FATEFUL DEGREES OF THE MOON : The Moon is capable of inflicting death if she is in any of the following degrees at birth : Aquarius 21°, Leo 5°, Taurus 9°, Scorpio 23°, Aries 8°, Cancer 12°, Libra 4°, Capricorn 20°, Virgo 1°, Sagittarius 18°, Pisces 10° and Gemini 22°. If the Moon is in such degrees at birth, death is indicated in the corrcsponding year and the native cannot be protected by even God Yama.

Notes : Should the Moon be in any degree as above, death occurs in the corresponding year. For example, if the Moon is in 23 degrees of Scorpio, the person dies at the age of 23. Horasara states that the fateful degrees for the Moon from Aries onwards are 26, 12, 13, 25, 24, 4, 26, 14, 13, 25, 5 and 12 and the same for Lagna are from Aries onwards : 8, 29, 22, 22, 25, 14, 4, 23, 18, 20, 21 and 10, Phala Deepika (Ch; 13) has the same view of Prithuyasas. Jataka Tatwa (B-138) also denotes fateful degrees for the Moon from Aries onwards respectively thus : 8, 9, 23, 22, 5, 1, 4, 23, 18, 20, 21 and 10. These are death inflicting degrees in the respective year of age. These can be used in horary also relating to questions on death of an ailing person. एवं सर्वं प्रयत्नेन जायमानस्य देहिनः। . होरास्थानानि केन्द्रारि चिन्तनीयानि तद्यथा॥११५।

Assess the strengths of ascendant, angles etc. at birth. Jupiter is llife spirit of all natives. The timo of death should be known through Jupiter. If he is in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th or ascendant, he proves fatal at the age of 5. 10, 46, 20, 30, 40 and 50 respectveiy. Notes : Jupiter in 3rd will prove fatal at the age of 5, in the 4th at the age of 10, in the 5th at the age of 46 and so on. Should however the ascendant and kendras are with strength, he does not prove fatal in the years specified. इति कल्याणवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां अरिष्टाध्यायो दवमः ।।१०।।

Thus ends the 10th chapter entitled Evils at Birth in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

I now explain the combinations that are capable of nullifying the said evils, for these are important in the Science

Chapter 11 139

of Horoscopy and intially explained below are the yogas to counteract the evils emanating from or afflicting the Moon, as done by expounders like Lord Brahma. Notes : In this chapter, the combinations to counteract the evil influences of the Moon are discussed, so that there is no fear of child mortality. afeoz means child mortality or बालारिष्ट in this chapter and 12th chapter. But they should not be profitably interpreted as though there will be no blemish in other matters, like marriage, living etc.

: सर्वेगगनभ्रमणैर्द्ट ष्टृश्चन्द्रो विनाशयति रिष्टम्। आपूर्यमाणमृर्तिर्यथा नृपः सन्नयद्वेष्टन् ।।३।। चन्द्रः सम्पूर्णतनुः शुक्रणा निरीक्षितः सुहृद्धागे। रिष्टहरारां श्रेष्ठो वातहराणां यथा बस्ति: ॥४।। 3-4. If the Moon is Full and is aspected by all heavenly bodies, all evils are countered just as lawbreakers are destroyed by the king. Venus aspecting the Full Moon while the latter is in friendly divisions is capable of obstructiing evils just as abdomenal remedies are able to cure windy diseases. Notes : The full Moon in aspect to all planets is capable of nullifying evils against longevity If she is full and is aspected by Venus, then also the evils for short life will vanish. In the latter case, the Moon should simultaneomsly be in friendly divisions. In this chapter, the high degree of knowledge of medical branch of Kalyana Varma should be usefully noted for. its worth.

परमोच्चे शिशिरतनुर्भ गुतनयनिरीक्षितो हरति रिष्टम्। सम्यग्विरेकवमनं कफपित्तानां यथा दोषम्।।५।। चन्द्रः शुभवर्गस्थः क्षीोऽपि शुभेक्षितो हरति रिष्टम्। फ़लमिव महातिसारं जातीफलवल्कलक्वथितम् ॥६।। 5-6. Should the Moon be in her deep exaltation and be aspected by Venus, evils are countered just as phlegm and bile are controlled by induced vomitting. If the Moon be in the

140 Saravali

divisions of benefic planets and be aspected by benefics, she will not prove evll though she may be waning, just as nut meg bark treats dysentery. सप्ताष्टमषष्ठस्था: शशिनः सौम्या हरन्त्यरिष्टफलम्। पापेरमिश्रचारा: कल्याएघृतं यथोन्मादम् ।७।। युक्तः शुकफलदायिभिरिन्दुः सर्वैनिहन्त्यरिष्टानि। तेषामेव 5्रयंशे लवणस्त्र तिपूरवच्छवसरोगम् ॥८॥l 7-8. Benefics in the 7th, 8th and 6th from the Moon remove all adversities, just as madness is removed by Kalyana Grita. Same is the case if the Moon is conjunct benefics and be in the decanates owned by benefics, just as saline water controls ear diseases. Notes : So to say, a powerful Adhiyoga can give great longevity. Further, if the Moon is conjunct benefics and falls in benefic's decanate, long life is indicated. आपूर्यमाणमृतिर्द्वादशभागे शुभस्य यदि चन्द्रः। रिष्टं नयति विनाशं तक्राभ्यासो यथा गुदजम् ।६।। सौम्यक्षेत्रे चन्द्रो होरापतिना विलोकितो हन्ति। रिष्टं न वीक्षितोऽन्यैः कुलाङ्गनाकुलमिवान्यगता ॥१०॥ 9-10. Should the full Moon be in a benefic's Dvadasamsa, all evils are removed just as butter-milk checks piles. If the Moon occupies a benefic's Rasi and receives the Lagna Lord's as pect, adversities for short-life are counteracted as even a noble housewife can destroy the fame of the descent if she seeks union with other men. कररभवने शशाङ्गो भवनेशनिरीक्षितस्तदनुवर्गे। रक्षति शिशुं प्रजातं कृपणा इव धनं प्रयत्नेन ॥११॥ जन्माधिपतिर्बलवान् सुहृन्ध्िरभिवीक्षितः शुर्भर्भङ्गम्। रिष्टस्य करोति सदा भीरुरिव प्राप्तसंग्रामः ॥१२।। 11-12. Even though the Moon may be in a house owned by a malefic or in such Vargas, she does not prove evil if aspected by her dispositor. This is comparable to a miser protec-

Chapter 11 141

ting his money. If the dispositor of the Moon is strong and be in aspect to benefics or friendly planets, the Moon is not capa- ble of harming, in comparision to a timid person who cannot face others even though he may be in war fleld. Notes : A planet proves favourable though it may be in maleflc divisions if it is aspected by the lord of the Rasi it occupies. Secondly, the strength of the Moon sign lord is essential to promote longevity of a person. जन्माविपतिर्लग्ने दृष्टः सर्वैविनाशयति रिष्टम्। घृष्टोषणविदलाम्यां प्रत्येककृताञ्जनं यथा शुक्लम् ।।१३।। स्वोच्चस्थस्वगृहेऽथवापि सुहृदां वर्गेऽपि सौम्येऽथवा संपूर्ण: शुभवीक्षितः शशधरो वर्गे स्वकीयेऽथवा। शत्रू रामवलोकने न पतितः पापैरयुक्तेक्षितो रिष्टं हन्ति सुदुस्तरं दिनपतिः प्रालेयराशि यथा ॥१४॥ 13-14. If the lord of the Moon sign is in Lagna and is aspected by all planets, all evils are removed, just as the oint- ment of holy fig and bamboo bark removes whiteness. The Moon in her exaltation, own, friendly or benefic Vargas, aspac- ted by benefics but not malefics, counteracts all evils as the the Sun does remove fog. शशिनोऽन्त्ये बुधसितयोराये क्ररेषु वाक्पतौ गगने। दुरितं चातुर्थिकमिव नश्यति मुनिकुसुमरसनस्यैः॥१५॥ 15. Just as quartan fever is removed by inhaling Agashya flower, all evils are checked by Mercury and Venus in the 12th of Moon, malefics in the 11th and Jupiter in the 10th. Notes : Mercury and Venus in 12th. malefics from 11th and Jupiter in 10th, all with reference to Moon, are capable of contributing to a long lease of life. When Murcury and Venus are in the 12th of Moon, the Sun will also be close to her. Even though she may be week, her angularity to Jupiter is the key to the above Yoga at birth. लग्नेश्वरस्य चन्द्रः षट्त्रिदशायहिबुकेषु शुभद्दष्टः। क्षप्यति समस्तरिष्टान्यनुयाते नृपतिरोध इव ॥१६॥

142 Saravali

एको जन्माधिपतिः परिपूर्णबलः शुभैर्दृष्टः। हन्ति निशाकररिष्डं व्याघ्र इव मृगान् वने मत्तः ॥१७॥ 16-17. Should the Moon be in the 6th, 3rd, 10th, 11th or 4th from the natal ascendant, and be aspected by benefics, cvils are removed as though a king destroys his opponents. The lord of the Moon sign is singly capable of removing all evils if he is with full strength and aspected by benefics, similar to an inebriated tiger throwing away a thousand deers. Notes : In this chapter, the author has described the role of the Moon in the matter of longeveity and these combina- tions be uscfully analysed. इति कल्याणवर्मविरचितायां सारावर्ल्यां एकादशः ।११।। Thus ends the 11th chapter, entitled "Evils and the Moon" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

Chapter 12 Evils Cancelled at Birth

सर्वानिमानतिबलः स्फुरदंशुजालो लग्ने स्थितः प्रशमयेत् सुरराजमन्त्री। एको बहूनि दुरितानि सुदुस्तरासि भक्त्या प्रयुक्त इव चक्रधरे प्रणाम: ॥१॥

1. A very brilliant Jupiter (i.e. not being devoid of rays) is capable of counteracting all evils if he is in the ascendant just as a single sincere prostration before Lord Vishnu, the wearer of Sudarsana Chakra, relieves one of the greatest sins. Notes : The previous chapter dealt with evils countered with reference to the Moon while the present chapter deals with evils checked by other planets, viz. Jupiter etc.

'Chapter 12 143

Jupiter will be in fall in Capricorn and his position in Lagna may not give long life as the 12th lord will be in fall in Lagna. He also rules the 3rd, which is another house concern- ing longevity. If, however, in being so, he has strength acquired by number of rays (vide ch. 36), he can turn a mender.and confer long lease of life. सौम्यग्रहैरतिबलै बिबलैश्च पापै- लंग्नं च सौम्यभवनं शुभदृष्टियुक्तम्। सर्वापदाभिरहितो भवति प्रसूतः पूजाकर: खलु यथा दुरितैर्ग्रंहारगाम् ॥२॥ 2. Benefics with strength and malefics without it remove all evils if ascendant falls in a benefic's house and is aspected by benefics, just as those who worship planets will have no sins left to their liability.

Notes: There are four conditions to be free from longevity evils : These are (1) Ascendant should fall in benefic's house, like Pisces, Libra etc. (2) It should be in aspect to a benefic (3) Benefics in general should be strong (4) Malefics should be weak. In the above bargain, 8th lord though may be a malefic should have strength as his weakness will only imbalance the good of the yoga referred of above. पापा यदि शुभवर्गे सौम्यैर्दष्टाः शुभांशवर्गस्थः। निघ्नन्ति तदा रिष्डं पर्ति विरक्ता यथा युवतिः।३।। राहुस्त्रिषष्ठलाभे लग्नात् सौम्यैनिरीक्षितः सद्यः। नाशयति सर्वदुरितं मारुत इव तूलसंघातम्॥४॥ शोर्षोदयेषु राशिषु सर्वर्गगनाधिवासिभि: सूतौ। प्रकृतिस्थश्चारिष्टं विक्रियते घृतमिनाग्निष्ठम् ॥५॥ 3-5. 'If malefics occupy the Rasis and Amsas of benefics (i.e. such benefic divisions) and be in aspect to benefics, evils are removed just as a dejected lady remains away from her hus- band. Should Rahu be in the 3rd, 6th or 11th from the ascendant and be aspected by benefics all evils are destroyed as

144 Saravali

though wind carries away a heap of cotton with it. If all planets be in direct motion and in Seershodaya signs, all blemishes are removed just as ghee is burnt out in fire. .6 :.

Notes : (1) Malefics should be in benefic's divisions (2) Rahu in 3, 6 or 11 is aspect to benefic. (3) All planets should be in Seershodaya signs and be in direct motion. Each of the three combinations in capable of giving long lease of life. तत्काले यदि विजयी शुभग्रहः शुभनिरीक्षितोऽवश्यम्। तर्जयति सर्वरिष्टं मारुत इव पादपान् प्रबलः ।६।। परिविष्टो गगरचर: क्ररश्च विलोकितो हरति पापम्। स्नानं सन्निहितायां कृतं यथा भास्करग्रहण।।७।।

6-7. A benefic planet victorious in planetary war at birth and essentially aspected by another benefic, destroys all evils just as gale can uproot trees. If a planet has a halo (in the sky) and is aspected by a malefic, evils are countered just as the solar eclipse day bath in Kurukshetra does. Notes : There must be a benefic involved in planetary war and must be victorious and be in aspect to another benefic. Then only, the yoga comes to pass. Two planets are said to in war (except the Sun and the Moon), when they are in con- junction and within a longuitude of one degree. The one with less longidude wins the war. For example, Jupiter and Mercury are in Taurus at 24° 10' and 24° 29' respectively. Jupiter is declared successtul as he is behind Mercury. स्निग्धमृदुपवनभाजो जलदाश्च तर्थव खेचरा: शस्ताः। स्वस्था: क्षणाच्च रिष्टं शमयन्ति रजो यथाम्बुधारौघः॥८॥ उदये चागस्त्यमुने: सप्तर्षीणां मरीचिपूर्वारणाम्। सर्वारिष्टं नश्यति तम इव सूर्योदये जगतः ॥६। 8-9. If there is a pleasant breeze at the time of birth, and the sky is with pleasing clouds and the heavenly bodies be with splendour, the evils disappear in a fillip just as rains settle dust. If birth takes place when Agasthya and others of

Chapter 12 145

Saptharshis (Alfa Carini or Great Bear) rise, all evils destroyed, just as darkness disappears when the Sun rises.

Notes : The Seven Seers (or Saptarshis or Alfa Carini or Great Bear) traverse each lunar mansion in 100 years. They are Marichi, Vasishta, Angirasa, Atri, Pulaha and Kratu. Arundhati is always close to the sage Vasishta. The star Marichi is in the east, Vasishta is to His West, Atri is to the west of Vasi- shta; close to Vasishta is Paulastya followed by Pulaha and Kratu.

अजवृषकरकिविलग्ने रक्षति राहुः समस्तपीड़ाम्यः । पृथ्वीपतिः प्रसन्नः कृतापराधं यथा पुरुषम् ॥१०॥

योतेस्त्रिभागमपर: स्वं स्वं गगनेचरैरिदं क्रियते।

तज्ज्ञं नष्टमनिष्टं शमयति तिमिरं यथाऽर्ककरः॥११॥

10. Rahu in the ascendant identical with Aries Taurus or Cancer protects the native from the clutches of all evils just as a pleased king forgives the crimes of a person. If all the planets (not of course the nodes) are in their own deca- nates, all evils are removed just as the Sun removes darkness

Notes: If Rahu is in ascendant identical with Aries or Taurus, or Cancer, the person enjoys great longevity. This view is supported by Horasara (p. 63), Jataka Martanda, Sarvartha Chintamani (ch. 11, S. 16), Jataka Parijata (ch. 4, S. 90), and Jatakadesa Marga (ch. 4).

See the horsocope of Swami Sivananda with Rahu in Cancer ascendant conferring a long lease of life, as under :

Moon

Lagna Sat. Mars Rahu

Sun. Ketu Mer.

Jup. Venus . +

The ascendant and Rahu are just 3° apart in Cancer, thus ascendant receiving full influence of the node. Jupiter aspecting the 8th house (longevity) and also the Moon may be noted. बहवो यदि शुभफलदाः खेटास्तत्रापि शीर्यते रिष्टम्। सूर्यात् त्रिकोण इन्दौ यर्थव यात्रा नरेन्द्रस्य ।१२।। 12. If at birth, many planets are capable of giving benefic results, even then there is no blemish just as the king gets success in journey undertaken when the Moon is in a trine to the Sun.

Notes : There are two important clues in this sloka. Firstly, if a majority of planets are beneficial to the native, the other malefic combinations get nullified. Here is a clue to the effect that a wisdom-based judgement is necessary in astrology and rushing to conclusion by surface study is detrimental. The second clue is : if the Moon is trine the Sun, at the time of a query, success in journey is indicated. गुरुशुक्रौ च केन्द्रस्थौ जीवेद्वर्षशतं नरः। गृहानिष्डं हिनस्त्याशु चन्द्रानिष्टं तर्थव च ॥१३। 13. Should Jupiter and Venus be in angles, evils arising out of the various Rasis (i.e. Bhavas) and of the Moon are countered. And the native lives for hundred years. Notes : Although there may be afflictions to longevity

Chapter 12 147

through other bhavas, yogas and other planets, if only Jupiter and Venus are angular from Lagna, the subject has a long lease of life of 100 years. In such yoga, even the blemish to Moon, if any, is perfectly balanced and the Moon remains actually unafflicted. बन्ध्वास्पदोदयविलग्नगतः कुलीरे गीर्वाणनाथसचिवः सकलश्च चन्द्रः । जूके रविन्दुतनयावपरे च लाभे दुश्चिक्यशत्रुभवनेष्वमितं तदायुः॥१४॥ 14. If Jupiter and the Moon be in Cancer, identical with 4th, 10th, or the ascendant, Mercury and Saturn be in Libra while others are in the 11th, 3rd and 6th, one has illimitable longevity. Notes : The Moon and Jupiter should be in Cancer as Lagna or in 4th in Cancer for Aries ascendant or in 10th in Cancer for Libra ascendant. Additionally, Saturn should be exalted joining Mercury,while the Sun, Venus and Mars should confine to the 3rd, 6th or 11th from Lagna. This rare yoga bestows a very long lease of life on the native concerned. एते सर्वे भङ्गा मया निरुक्ताः पुरातनाः सिद्धाः। नरेन्द्र वाल्लभ्यमायान्ति ॥१५॥ 15. I have thus explained the Yogas that are capable of countering the evils, as laid down by our great ancestors. May the astrologers please the king with the knowledge of these. Notes : The yogas explained in this and the previous chapter are guidelines only to know the combinations that counter child or infant mortality and relate only to longevity. As already cautioned, these do not necessarily work for all kinds of defects as antidotes. For example, a certain combination explained in this context will not necessarily offset an imbalance in one's education, marriage, progeny etc. इति कल्याणवमंविरचितायां सारावल्यां सकलारिष्टभङ्गो नाम दादशोऽध्यायः ॥१२॥ Thus ends the 12th Chapter entitled "Cancellation of evils at birih" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

Chapter 13 Lunar Yogas

सुनफाऽनफा-दुरुधरा भवन्ति योगा: क्रमेण रविरहितः। वित्तान्त्योभयसंस्थैः केरववनबान्धवाद्विहगैः ॥१।

1. SUNAPHA, ANAPHA AND DURUDHURA YOGAS : Excepting the Sun, any other planet in the 2nd from the Moon causes Sunapha yoga, in the 12th Anapha yoga and in both the 2nd and the 12th Durudhura yoga.

Notes : Just as the Sun, the nodes are also not considered in this kind of Raja yogas.

The Moon should have a planet either in the 12th or in the 2nd (or at least with it) so that she remains balanced. Otherwise, Kemadruma yoga is caused, as could be seen in the following verses and notes thereof. Unless the Moon is thus well-balanced, the native is not likely to feel comfortable in life. He will face only obstacles in day-to day affairs. The said 3 yogas as per the present sloka are caused only by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Each position by a different planet manifests varied effects, vide infra.

एते न यदा योगा: केन्द्रग्रहवजितः शशाङ्गश्च। केमद्रुमोऽतिकष्टः शशिनि समस्तग्रहादृष्टे॥२॥

2. KEMADRUMA YOGA : Kemadruma yoga is formed if at least one of the said three yogas (viz. Sunapha, Anapha and Durudhura yogas) is not present or if the Moon's angles are devoid of planets or if she is unaspected by all the planets. Such yoga causes extreme difficulties.

Notes : Elaborate notes and comments can be found in my English translation of Horasara (P. 230) which the reader may consult.

Chapter 13 149

Kalyana Varma uses समस्त ग्रहाहष्ट thereby requiring the Moon to be in aspect to all planets in deviation to standard textual versions. As otherwise, he states, the Moon produces Kemadruma yoga This condition is quite strange.

सुनफानफा सरूपास्त्रिशद्योगा (३) स्त्रिसंगुरणा षष्टि:(१८०)। संख्या दौरुधुरारां प्रस्तारविधौ समाख्याताः ॥३।

3. DIFFERENT PERMUTATIONS : By all possible permutations and transmutations, one can see 30 kinds of Sunapha yoga, 30 kinds of Anapha yoga and 180 kinds of Durudhura yoga.

Notes : We have learnt that any planet other than the Sun in the 2nd of the Moon causes Sunapha yoga. Foa example Mars in the 2nd of the Moon causes Sunapha yoga. Similarly, the other four i.e. Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn indi- vidually cause Sunapha yoga. Thus 5 kinds of this yoga is formed in the first instance. With group of two, these 5 planets can severally form 10 kinds of additional Sunapha yoga. For example Mars plus Mercury or Mars plus Jupiter or Mars plus Venus and so on and forth. This is the second set of 10 permutations. In group of 3 each, these 5 planets can form again ten permutations in the third instance. For exmple, Mars +Mercury+Jupiter or Mars+Mercury+Venus and so on and so forth. In the 4th instance, these 5 planets in group of 4 each can cause 5 different permutations, such as Mars+ Mercury+Jupiter+Venus or Mars+Mercury+Jupiter+ Saturn etc. In the 5th instance all the 5 planets in the 2nd give rise to one transmutation. Thus these 5 different transmutations cause in their order 5+10+10+5+1=31 kinds of Sunapha yoga.

Same transmutations can be conceived with these 5 planets in the 12th for Anapha yoga also and we get 31 different yogas. Similarly, disposing these 5 planets in the 2nd and 12th in group of 1 to 5, we can conceive 180 kinds of Durudhura yoga transmutations.

Parasara in his Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (ch. 37; sloka 13-my English translation) observes thus: The yogas (like

150 Saravali

Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhura, Kemadruma, Chandradhi yoga etc.) prevail over the other good or bad yogas in the horoscope. Hence one must beforehand analyse the good and bad effects of yogas from the Moon. श्रीमान् स्वबाहुविभवो बहुधर्मशीलः शास्त्रार्थ विदूबहुयशाः स्वगुराभिरामः । शान्त: सुखी क्षितिपतिः सचिवोऽथ वा स्यात् सूतः पुमान् विपुलधीः सुनफाभिधाने ॥४॥ 4. EFFECTS OF SUNAPHA YOGA: One born with Sunapha yoga will be wealthy, will have self-made prowess (or will reach an exalted position of his own efforts), be very virtuous, be learned in Sastras and their meanings, be very famous, virtuous (like Lord Rama)1, be peacefully disposed2, happy, be a king or a minister and be highly intelligent. Notes: The word gir apart from meaning "happy" has various meanings like : agreeable, charming, sweet, joyful etc. One born with Sunapha yoga will be a king or equal to a king, be wise, rich, famous and will earn wealth by his own efforts, (vide my English translation of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra ch. 37, sloka 8). Prithuyasas in Horasara (Ch. 19) also adds that this yoga gives self-made wealth. The native will have rich knowledge of Sastras and be a commentator thereof. Jatakabharana in chapter on "Chandrayogas" asse rts that the native will have self-made wealth, will enjoy fame, wisdom, and all kinds of happiness, be a scholar and a minister of the king. Thus, planets other than the Sun in the 2nd house counted from the Moon promote the prospects of the native's having self made riches. If the planet in question be Venus or Jupiter or Mercury, the subject can earn a fair amount of wealth. Exalted Saturn or exalted Mars will also give good results in this regard.

1. सुगुराभिरामा is another reading. 3. FIa : is another reading meaning splendorous.

Chapter 1 3 i51

वाग्मी प्रभुर्दविणणवानगदः सुशीलो भोक्तान्नपानकुसुमाम्बरकामिनीनाम्। ख्यातः समाहितगुणः सुखशस्तचित्तो योगे निशाकरकृते रवनफे सुवेषः ।५।।

5. EFFECTS OF ANAPHA YOGA : One born in Anapha yoga will be eloquent in speech, magnanimous, virtu- ous, will enjoy food, drink, flowers, robes and females, will be famous, calm (Hurfga) in disposition, happy, pleased and will possess a beautiful body.

Notes: According to Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (ch." 37), this yoga makes one a king, free from diseases, blessed with all kinds of happiness, virtuous, famons and beautiful.'

One born in Anapha yoga will have political wisdom and moral training, be steadfast, will know many sastras, be blessed with cnormous wealth, be capable of attracting the fair sex and be honoured (vide P. 228 of of Horasara.) Thus, this yoga gives plenty of wealth, if for example 12th from Moon is occupied, particularly by exalted Venus; or when the Moon is in Leo while Jupiter is in Cancer; or when Mercury is in Virgo with Moon in Libra.

Dundhiraja in his Jatakabharana also praises Anapha yoga. The effects are : good conduct, kingly status, beauty etc.

The Anapha and Sunapha caused by a debilitated planet will only yield adverse results. For example when the Moon is in Libra with Venus in 12th in Virgo, Anapha yoga produces only immoral conduct instead of good conduct. Such natives cannot enjoy physical comforts, long life etc.

वाग्बुद्धिविक्रमगुणः प्रथितः पृथिव्यां स्वातन्त्र्य सौख्यधनवाहनभोगभोगी दाता कुटुम्बजनपोषणलब्धखेद: सद्दृत्तवान् दुरुधुराप्रभवो धुरिस्थः ॥६।।

152 Saravali

6. EFFECTS OF DURUDHURA YOGA : One born in Durudhura yoga will be famous on the earth for his speech, wisdom, valour and virtues. He will enjoy freedom, comforts, wealth and conveyances. He will be liberal but will come to grief by maintaining his family members. He will have good behaviour.

Notes : One born with this yoga, will enjoy the comforts generated by him, be charitable, and be endowed with wealth, conveyances and attendants (See ch. 37 of BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA).

According to Horasara, P. 228, such a native will enjoy luxuries and wealth. He will be an eloquent speaker, be fond of battles and be an army chief. He will be in a state of bewilderness, be kingly and sacrifying in nature. He will have cattle.

Vide Jatakabharana, the native will enjoy wealth, conveyances, lands etc., be equal to a king and be happy with women.

Compared to Sunapha and Anapha yogas, Durudhura yoga is more effective as it is not that frequent to occur. The Moon gets enormous strength to yield good effects if she is planked by planets on both the sides. The native, according to Parasara, is destined to experience comforts of his own.

कान्तान्नपानगृहवस्त्रसुहृद्विहीनो दारिद्युदुःखगददन्यमलरुपेतः प्रेष्यः खलः सकललोकविरुद्धवृत्तिः। केमद्रुमे भवति पार्थिववंशजोऽपि॥७॥।

7. EFFECTS OF KEMADRUMA YOGA : The native with Kemadruma yoga will be deprived of wife, drinks, food, residence, robes and friends, though he may belong to regal scion. He will suffer from poverty, grief, sickness and be dirty. He will live by hard labour, be wicked and be inimi- cally disposed to one and all.

Chapter 13 153

Notes : The native with this yoga will be blameworthy, be devoid of intelligence and learning and will experience penury and misfortunes, vide BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA, ch. 37, sloka 12. Prithuyasas in Horasara emphati- cally declares that even a king with this position will beg (p. 230).

According to Jatakabharana, one with this yoga will resort to unacceptable professions, be dirty, will present himself in bad dress, be a servant, will live in distant countries, and be devoid of wife, sons, friends and money even though he may be of a royal scion.

Manasagari, however, attributes long life to the native while describing other bad effects. It adds that the said Kemadruma is defunct if the Moon is in a benefic's Rasi and is conjoined with Mercury or Venus or Jupiter.

केन्द्रा दिस्थैग्रहैर्योगा: कीतिता येऽनफादयः । तान् प्रधानान् समानान् स्वांश्चन्द्ररूपान् विचिन्तयेत् ।।८।।

भौमादीनां बलं देशं जासस्य च कुलं बुधः। विज्ञाय प्रवदेत सम्यक् सुनफादिकृतं फलम्॥६॥।

8-9. OTHER KIND OF SUNAPHA ETC .: The kind of Sunapha yoga etc arising from the Moon's angles are (also) important. These yogas give effects according to the state of the Moon (i.e. depending on her rays, being Full, New etc.). The strength of the planets, viz. Mars etc. causing these yogas, native's country and the race he belongs to must be properly understood before evaluating Sunapha etc.

Notes : A different set of Sunapha etc. may be noted as under : If a planet other than the Sun is in the 4th of the Moon, Sunapha yoga is formed. Similarly the 10th house position causes Anapha and occupations of both the 4th and 10th cause Durudhura yoga. This account is given by Srutakirti. Another view is of Jeevasarman which indicates that the

154 Saravali

2nd and 12th houses in the Navamsa chart with reference to the Moon shall be considered for these yogas. It seems that Srutakirti's yogas too have meaning in this context.

विकम वित्तप्रायो हिंस्ो दम्भविरोधी निष्ठुरवचनश्चमूपतिश्चण्डः । सुनफायां भौमसंयोगे॥१०॥ श्रुतिशास्त्रगेयकुशलो धर्मपरः काव्यकृन्मनस्वी च। सर्वहितो रुचिरतनुः सुनफायां सोमजे भवति ॥११॥

10-11. RESULTS OF SUCH YOGAS CAUSED BY MARS ETC. : If Sunapha yoga is caused by Mars (by being in the 2nd of the Moon), the native will be valorous, wealthy, cruel in speech, be an army chief, will be fierce, torturous, proud and inimical. If Mercury be the cause of Sunapha yoga, the native will be expert in Vedas, Sastras and music. He will be virtuous, and a poet. He will be high-minded, intent on thinking of good for all and will possess a brillant physique.

Notes : Sunapha yoga caused by different planets from Mars to Saturn have different effects. While analysing a given horoscope, these effects further vary according the Rasi involved and the lordships of the planet concerned. For example, Mars may cause Sunapha yoga for a Capricorn native which can give enormous wealth while for a Virgo native this planet will only give very ordinary wealth as he is the lord of the 8th also.

Jataka Parijatha, ch. 7, slokas 86 and 87 attribute similar results as per Kalyana Varma for Mars and Mercury individually causing this yoga. According to Manasagari, this yoga by Mars causes perennial enmity with others. For Mercury same results as per our text and Jataka Parijatha are mentioned.

In fact, Manasagari and Jataka Parijata have exactly followed our author's views for effects of Sunapha, Anaphe and Durudhura yogas by various planets.

Chapter 13 155

12-14. Should Jupiter cause Sunapha yoga, a person so born will have high learning, will be famous and. himself be a king or dear to a king. He will have a good family and have plenty of wealth. Venus will give wife, lands, wealth, prowess, quadrupeds and valour. The native will further be honoured by king and will also be courageous. Should Saturn be in the 2nd of the Moon causing Sunapha; yoga, the native will be skilful, be worshipped by the people in his village and city and will have wealth galore. He will be devoted to his work and be brave.

156 Saravali

15-19. ANAPHA YOGA'S EFFECTS GIVEN BY MARS ETC .: If Anapha yoga is caused by Mars-being in the 12th from the Moon-the native will head a band of thieves, will be arrogant in disposition, be honoured, fond of war, given to anger, good, praiseworthy, good-bodied, and proud. If by Mercury, the native will be an expert in singing, dancing and writing, will be a poet, and an able orator. He will be conferred honours by the ruler, will have a brilliant body and will perform famous deeds. Should the yoga be caused by Jupiter, the native will be majestic, strong, intelligent, fond of assembly, famous through a king, and will be a poet. Venus causing this yoga gives an exceedingly great liking for women. The native will be dear to the king and will enjoy pleasures He will be splendorous, famous and will have abundant gold. If Saturn causes this yoga, the subject will be broad-shouldered, be a leader, be inclined to keep up his commitments, be rich with quadrupeds, devoted to an infamous lady and be virtuous.

आनृतिको बहुवित्तो निपुरोऽतिशठोऽधिको लुब्धः। वृद्धासतीप्रसक्तः कुलाग्ररी: शशिनि भौमबुधमध्ये॥२०॥

20. EFFECTS OF DURUDHURA YOGA CAUSED BY MARS ETC .: If Durudhura yoga is caused by the pair of Mars and Mercury, the native will be a liar, be very wealthy, expert, very wicked, greatly miserly, addicted to an old lady, and be chief in his race.

ख्यातः कर्मसु विभवी बहुजनवैरस्त्वमर्षणो हृष्टः। कुलरक्षी कुजगुर्वोः सङ्गहशीलः शशिनि मध्ये॥२१॥

21. If Durudhura yoga is caused by Mars and Jupiter, one will be famous by his deeds, be mighty (or wealthy), inimically disposed to many and disposed to anger, will protect his men, and will gather money.

उत्तमरामः सुभगो विवादशीलः शुचिर्भवेद्दक्षः। व्यायामी रणशूरः सितारयोर्मध्यगे चन्द्रे ॥२२।

Chapter 13 157

22. If the Moon has Venus and Mars on either side, the native will have a virtuous wife, will be fortunate, argumen- tative, pure, skilful, will like doing exercises and be bold in war.

कुतिपितयोषिद्रमणो बहुसंवयकारको व्यसनसक्तः । क्रोधी निशुनो रिपुहा यमारयोः स्याद्दुरुधुरायाम् ॥२३॥

23. If Saturn and Mars plank the Moon, the native will be the husband of a bad lady. He will save a lot of money. He will have vices. He will be given to anger and be a tale- bearer. He will win over his enemies.

धर्मपरः शास्त्रज्ञो वाचालः सत्कविर्धनोपेतः। त्यागयुतो विख्यातो बुधगुरुमध्ये स्थिते चन्द्रे ॥२४।। 24. Should Jupiter and Mercury be on either side of the Moon, the native will be virtuous, learned in Sasthras, garrulous, be a good poet, be wealthy, capable of making sacrifices and be famous.

प्रियवाक् सुभगः कान्तः प्रनृत्तगेयादिषु प्रियो भवति। सेव्यः शूरो मन्त्री बुधसितयोर्दुरुधुरायोगे ॥२५॥

25. If Durudhura yoga is caused by Mercury and Venus, thc person will be a sweet speaker, be fortunate, splend- orous, beautiful, be fond of dance, singing etc., be served, valiant and be a minister.

देशाद्देशं गच्छति वित्तपरो नातिविद्यया सहितः। चन्द्रेऽन्येषां पूज्यः स्वजनविरोधी ज्ञमन्दयोर्मध्ये ॥२६॥

26. If Mercury and Saturn plank the Moon, the native will move from one country to the other to earn money. He will not be much educated, will be worshipped by others but be inimical to his own men.

धृतिमेधाशौर्ययुतो नीतिज्ञः कनकरत्नपरिपूर्णः। ख्यातो नृपकृत्यकरो गुरुसितयोर्दुरुधुरायोगे।२७॥

158 Šaravali

13-27. Should Jupiter and Venus cause this yoga, by being on either sides of the Moon, the native will be courageous, intelligent, will have political wisdom, will possess gold and gems, will be famous and be in the employ of a king.

शान्तो सुखनयविज्ञानयुतः प्रियवाग्विद्वान् धुरन्धरोऽप्यार्यः। धनी सुरूपश्चन्द्रे गुरुभानुजान्तःस्थे॥२८॥ 28. If Jupiter and Saturn be such planets as to cause Durudhura Yoga the native will be happy, will have knowledge of politics, will be sweet in speech, learned, peaceful, wealthy and good looking. वृद्धचरितं कुलाग्यं निपुणं स्त्रीवल्लभं धनसमृद्धम्। नृपसत्कृतं बहुधनं कुरुते चन्द्रः सितासितयोः ॥२६॥ 29. One who has Durudhura yoga caused by Venus and Saturn will conduct himself like an old man (i.e. so mature), be chief in his race, skilful, dear to women and will have plenty of money. He will be honoured by the king and gather abundant wealth.

Nctes : In assessing these Sunapha, Anapha and Duru- dhura yogas-for that matter any Raja yogas, we should take due precaution. Should the planet be in fall, be in an inimical house and the like, the efficacy of the yoga is reduced. On the other hand if it is exalted, is in a friendly house etc. the results will be still better.

सूर्यात् केन्द्रादिगतो निशाकरः स्वल्पमध्यभूयिष्ठान्। कुर्यात्कमेर धनधीनपुण विज्ञानविनयांश्च ।।३०।। 30. LUNAR YOGAS FROM THE SUN : If the Moon is in an angle from the Sun, little effects will be felt in regard to money, wisdom, skill, learning and modesty. These are medium if the Moon be in Panaphara (i.e. 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) and exceedingly good in Apoklima (i.e. 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th). Notes : Should the Moon be in the 6th or 12th from the Sun, she promotes one's learning, wealth, wisdom etc. Phala Deepika designates these yogas (vide ch. 6, sloka 14) thus : The Moon in an angle of the Sun causes Adhama yoga;

Chapter 13 159

in Panaphara it causes Sama (#4) yoga and in Apoklima, the yoga is termed as Varishta yoga. The results ascribed are (sloka 18)-wealth, conveyances, fame, happiness, intelligence, wisdom, learning etc. in little quantity for Adhama yoga, in medium quantity for Sama yoga (aTT) and the highest for Varishta yoga.

औत्पातिक: कृशतनुर्निशि चाप्यदृश्यो दृश्यो दिवा शिशिरगुर्भयशोकदः स्यात्। एवं स्थितः समफलं पृथिवीपतिःवं यातोऽन्यथा प्रकुरुते परिपूर्णमूर्तिः।।३१।।

31. MOON IN VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE HALVES : In the case of a night birth, if the Moon is with Parivesha (halo), and be declining in the invisible half of the zodiac (i.e. being posited between Lagna Bhava Madhya and the centre of the descendant -- 7th house), or declining Moon in day time be in the visible half (i.e. between the centres of the descendant and the ascendant), even results will be felt in respect of fear, grief etc. (That is. these positions confer bad results). The Full Moon gives kingdom, if she be contrarily posited.

Notes: The Full Moon in the case of day birth in the invisible half and in the case of night birth in the visible half confers kingdom.

लग्नादुपचयसंस्थैः शुभैः समस्तैर्महाधनो द्वाम्याम्। मध्यं चै केनाधममे वं चन्द्रादपि तदून: ॥३२॥

32. DHANA YOGAS : If all benefics are posited in upachayas i e. 3.6 10 and 11 the native will acquire much wealth. Two benefics confer moderate wealth while one confers little wealth in the said upachaya. These can be deduced from the Moon also.

अधियोगादयोऽन्येऽपि मयाऽत्रव न कीतिताः। नृपयोगा यतस्ते हि वक्ष्ये तत्रैव तानहम् ॥३३।

160 Saravali

33. There are other Raja yogas like Adhi yoga arising from the Moon. I have not dealt with them here which I have done infra. Notes : The other yogas, namely Adhi yoga etc. are still superior that are capable of conferring high status on the native. The yogas like Sunapha, Anapha and Durudhura are not comparable to such kingly combinations but are only moderate.

इति कल्याणवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां चन्द्रयोगो नाम त्रयोदशोऽध्याय: ॥१३।।

Thus ends the 13th chapter entitled "Yogas from the Moon" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

तररथ सूर्ययोगाध्यायः ॥१४।।

Chapter 14 Yogas from the Sun

सूर्याद्वयय गैर्वाशिद्वितीय गैश्चन्द्रवर्जितवे शिः उभयस्थितर्ग्रहेन्द्रैरुभयचरी नामतः प्रोक्ता ॥१॥

1. VASI, VESI, UBHAYACHARI YÒGAS FROM THE SUN : Excluding the Moon (and nodes) a planet in the 12th from the Sun causes Vasi yoga, in the 2nd Vesi yoga and in both the 12th and the 2nd Ubhayachari yoga.

मन्ददशं स्थिरवचनं परिभूतपरिश्रमं नतोध्वतनुम्। कथयति यवनाधिपतिर्वेशिसमुत्थं तथा पुरुषम् ॥२॥

2. RESULTS OF VESI YOGA: One born in Vesi Yoga will be weak-sighted, firm in his word, be hard working and will have a bent body. So say Yavanas.

Notes : Sage Parasara observes in his Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (ch, 38) that such a native will have even sight,

Chapter 14 161

be of truthful disposition, has a long body, will be indolent, be happy but not be much wealthy. Phala Deepika distinguishes these yogas caused by bene- fics as Subha Vesi, Subha Vasi and Subhobhayachari; and by malefics as Papa Vesi, Papa Vasi and Papobhayachari. The adjectives themselves are suggestive. The ones, so to say, by benefics cause good results while the ones by malefics give adverse effects. वसुसंचयवित्ससुहृत्स्याद्वेशौ सुरगुरौ भवति जातः। भीरुः कार्योद्विग्नो लघुचेष्टो भृगुसुते पराधीनः॥३। परिकर्मको दरिद्रो मृदुर्विनीतो बुधे सलज्जश्च। मार्गलघुः क्षितिपुत्रे परोपकारी नरो वेशौ॥४॥ परदाररतश्चण्डो वृद्धाकारः शठो घृखी। भवेन्मनुष्यः सधनो याते वेशि शनैश्चरे॥५॥ 3-5. EFFECTS OF VESI YOGA CAUSED BY DIFFE- RENT PLANETS : Should Jupiter cause Vesi Yoga, the native will accumulate money, be learned and be good-hearted. If Venus produces this yoga, the person will be timid, will face obstacles in his missions, will have pleasant (or swift) movements1 and will be defeated. Mercurial participation indicates that the native will be a servant (परिकमको), will suffer penury, be soft-spoken and be modest. He will be bashful. Mars denotes that the native will resort to base means (मार्गलवु), but be helpful to others. If it is Saturn that causes Vesi yoga, one will join others' wives, be wicked, will resemble an old person in appearance, be fraudulent in disposi- tion and be contemptuous. He will, however, have wealth. उत्सृष्टवचाः स्मृतिमानुद्योगयुतो निरीक्षते तिर्यक्। पूर्वशरीरे पृथुलो नृपतिसमः सात्विको वाशौ ॥६॥ 6. EFFECTS OF VASI YOGA : One born in Vasi yoga will possess excellent speech (voice), good memory, be employed, will have looks towards sideways, will possess 1. लघुचेष्टा may also indicate 'mean behavior'.

162 Saravali

a strong physique above the waist, will be equal to a king and be a genuine person.

Note : Satwika has several meanings thus : genuine, 7 virtuous, amiable, vigorous, good, real etc. धृतिसत्त्वबुद्धियुक्तो भवति गुरौ वाशिके वचनसारः। शूर: ख्यातो गुणवान् यशस्करो भार्गवे पुरुषः ।७।। प्रियभाषी रुचिरतनुर्वाश्यां स्याद्बोधने पराज्ञाकृत्। सङ्ग्रामे विख्यातो भूमिसुते नत्ऽन्यभाग्यश्च ॥८॥। वशिणक् खलस्वभावः स्थात्परद्रत्यापहारकः। गुरद्वेषी मुनिस्त्रिंशो गते वाशि शर्नेश्चरे॥६।

7-9. EFFECTS OF VASI YOGA BY DIFFERENT PLANETS : If Jupiter should cause Vasi yoga, the native will possess courage, strength and wisdom. He will keep up his word. In the case of Venus, the person will be valorous, famous, virtuous and reputed. Mercury emanating 'this yoga will make one speak sweetly, beautiful and obey others' orders. The Vasi yoga caused by Mars indicates that the subject will be victorious in war, famous and will live with his own fortunes. If by Saturn, the native will be a business- man, wicked, will steal others' money, will hate elders and will be the husband of a pious lady.1 संनिरीक्ष्य रवेर्वीयं ग्रहारगां चापि तत्वतः। राश्यंशसङ्गमात् सर्वं फलं ब्रूयाद्विचक्षणः॥१०॥

10. The strength of the planet Sun and that of the planets causing these yogas and their association with various Risis and Amsas should be understood and all results be declared a ccordingly. सर्वसहः सभद्रः समकायःसुकष्थिरो विपुलसत्त्वं। नात्युच्चः परिपूर्णो विद्यात्वतो भवेदुभयचर्याम् ॥११॥

11. सुनिस्त्रिशो is also a reading in some versions which means; shameless.

Chapter 14 163

11. EFFECTS OF UBHAYA CHARI YOGA : One born under Ubhayachari yoga will have forebearance, will be very fortunate (H"a), even bodied, firm, profoundly strong, not very tall, full of everything, learned, happy, will have many servants, will protect his relatives, be equal to a king, ever enthusiastic, and will enjoy all pleasures.

सुभगो बहुभृत्यधनो बन्धूनामाश्रयो नृपतितुल्यः । नित्योत्साही हृष्टो भुङ्क्ते भोगानुभयचर्याम् ॥१२। इति कल्याणवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां सूर्ययोगो नाम चतुर्दशोऽध्यायः।१४॥

Thus ends the 14th chapter entitled "Ycgas from the Sun" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

अथ द्विग्रहयोगाध्यायः ।।१५।। Chapter 15 Conjunctions of Two Planets

यवनाचायवृ द्वद्विग्रहयोगेषु यत्फलं प्रोक्तम्। तदहमपहाय मत्सरमधुना वक्ष्ये विशेषेस॥१॥

1. INTRODUCTION TO TWO-PLANETARY YOGAS : Vriddha Yavanas have stated the effects of combinations of two planets (in one house). I state those below sans ego.

(र० चं०)युवतोनां वशगः स्यादविनीतः कूटवित्पृथुलवित्तः । आ्रसववित्रयकुशलो रव्युडुपत्यो: क्रियानिपुणः ॥२॥

2. SUN-MOON YOGA : One who has the Sun and Moon together will be at the disposal of his wife (or females), immo- dest, be a metallurgist (azfaa can be interpreted also as "able to deceive"), will be quite wealthy, and be an expert in sale of intoxicants. Notes : Should these two be together, the native's wife will have an upper hand. He will be an expert machinist, will have affected eye sight and will suffer eye diseases. This com-

164 Saravali

bination makes one an expert, immodest and light-hearted. He may take things casually. According to Jatakabharana, with this combination, the native will be skilful in poison, machinery, selling and buying, be capable of making fictitious articles, be very libidi- nous, and honourable. (र० मं०) ओजस्वी साहसिको मूर्खो बलसत्वसंयुतोऽनृतवाक्। पापमतिर्वधनिरतो रविकुजयोः स्यात प्रचण्डश्च ॥३। 3. SUN-MARS YOGA : Should the Sun and Mars be in one house the native will be splendorous, valorous, dull- witted, strong, be a liar, be sinful, disposed to kill (or torture) and be fierce. Notes : This combination makes one a liar, foolish and strong. The native may be engaged in Defence, police service etc.

According to Jatakabharana, this combination makes one very splendorous, strong, foolis h, very emotional and valorous. (र० बु०)सेवाकृदस्थिरधनो रविज्ञयोः प्रियवचा यशोर्थः स्यात्। आर्थः क्षितिपतिदयितः सतां च बलरूपवित्तविद्यावान्॥४॥

4. SUN-MERCURY YOGA : If the Sun and Mereury are in one house, the native will be in service, will have unsteady wealth, be sweet in speech, will have fame and money, be noble, dear to king and good people and will possess strength, beauty and learning. Notes : The Sun and Mercury together make one learned, gentle, honourable and famous. This conjunction goes in the name of Budhaditya yoga. Jataka Martanda is however of the view that this Raja yoga is effective only for Leo, Aries and Virgo but not for other ascendants. Such people can easily attain fame in life. Jatakabharana states that one with the Sun and Mercury yoga will be an eloquent speaker, be a king's minister, will earn money through service, and be skilful in arts and Vedas.

Chapter 15 165

(र० गु०)बहुधर्मो नृयसचिवः सुबुद्धिमान् मित्रसंश्रयाप्तर्यः। सूर्य बृहस्पतिषुते भवेटुपाध्याय संज्ञश्च ।।५।। 5. SUN-JUPITER YOGA : If the Sun and Jupiter be together, one will be virtuous, be a minister of king, will gain through friends, be with good mind1 and be a preceptor.

Notes : The conjunction of Jupiter and the Sun is favourable for those pursuing teaching profession. This yoga makes one wealthy and very famous. One becomes spiritual if these are well-placed being together. As per the statement of Jatakabharana, one with this yoga will live by Purohitya (performing religious rites of various families as laid down in Sastras), be a king's minister, will gain wealth through friends, be wealthy, helpful to others and skilful. (र० शु०)शस्त्रप्रहरणविद्याशक्तियुतो ने त्रदुर्ब लश्चरमे। रङ्गज्ञो रविसितयोः स्त्रीसङ्गाल्लब्धबहुलधनः ॥६॥ 6. SUN-VENUS YOGA : If the Sun and Venus be toge- ther, one will be skilful in use of weapons, be mighty, weak- sighted in old age, will be able to amuse the public and will have abundant money earned through women. Notes: The Sun and Venus affect eye sight. One with this combination is highly libidinous. If Venus is ahead of the Sun in longitude, then the former is very favourable in general matters. Vide Jatakabharana, the native with the yoga of the Sun and Venus will be interested in music, archery etc., be weak- sighted and be happy in regard to wife and friends. (र० श०) धातुज्ञो धर्ममयः स्वकर्मनिरतः प्रणष्टसुतदारः। निजवंशगुण: शुद्धः शनिरव्योरल्पशीलश्च ।।७।। 7. SUN-SATURN YOGA: If the Sun and Saturn are together, the native will be a metallurgist, be virtuous, mind-

1. समृद्धिमान् is another reading which means: plentiful.

166 Šaravali

ful of his own duties, will lose his wife and son, will have the qualities suitable to his race, will be pure but not so up- ri ght.

Notes : One becomes learned with this combination. He is very mature in behaviour as an elderly person but however will be disadvantageously placed in family front, if these two are adversely placed in the 6th/8th/12th

According to Jatakabharana, one with the Sun-Saturn combination will be skilful in sale of minerals, be virtuous, will possess good qualities, be happy with wife and sons and be wealthy. (चं० मं०) शूरो रखप्रतापी मल्लोऽसृग्वेदनार्तदेहश्च। मृच्चर्मधातु शिल्पी कूटज्ञश्चन्द्रकुजयोगे ॥।८।। 8. MOON-MARS YOGA : One who has the Moon and Mars together, will be valorous, brave in war, be a boxer, will suffer bloody imbalances or diseases, will manufacture articles of mud, skin and minerals and will be an artisan and a metallurgist.

Notes : This is not a good position for maternal relation- ship. This combination often throws heavy affliction to blood. This is favourable for pottermen, skin dealers and leather dealers, business in minerals etc. One can achieve proficiency in boxing, with the help of this combination apart from riches.

According to Jatakabharana, this combination makes one bereft of conduct, mean-minded, valorous, business-man, belli- gerent, inimical to mother and sick.

(चं० बु०) काव्यकथास्वतिनिपुणः सधनः स्त्रीसंमतः सुरूपश्च। स्मितवदनः शशिबुधयोर्धर्मरुचिः स्याद्विशिष्टगुखः॥ह॥ 9. MOON-MERCURY YOGA : One who has the Moon- Mercury combination will be expert in poems and fables, be wealthy, amiable to his wife, beautiful, smiling-faced and will be endowed with distinct virtues.

Chapter 15 167

Notes: Mercury and the Moon together cause fame and honour through women, literary success etc. This can however weaken one's virility.

Jatakabharana states that the native who has Moon and Mercury together at birth will be an eloquent speaker, rich, beautiful, kind, modest, affectionate to wife and religious.

(चं० गु०) दढसौहृदो विनीतः स्वबन्धुसंमानकृद्धनेशश्च। गुर्विन्द्वो: शुभशीलः सुरद्विजानां हितो भवेत्पुरुषः ।१०।। 10. JUPITER-MOON YOGA : One with Jupiter and the Moon together will be firm in friendship, modest, respectful t owards his relatives, wealthy, virtuous and regardful of Gods and the wise.

Notes : The Moon-Jupiter yoga gives great intelligence and female children. The native will be broad-minded and wealthy. Should this conjunction occur in the 10th, the Moon simultaneously being waxing,. the subject will attain high state in life. Vide Jatakabharana, if these two planets are together at birth, the native will be modest, be attached to his duties and helpful to others.

(चं० शु०) स्रग्गन्धाम्बरयुक्तः क्रियातिधित्ञः कुतप्रियोऽत्यलसः । ऋ्यविकरयेषु कुशलः शशिभार्गवयोः सदा योगे ॥११॥

11. MOON-VENUS YOGA : Should the Moon and Venus be together, the native will be endowed with flowers. incense and clothes, will know to perform duties (fsar also means rites), be dear to his race, very lazy and expert in buying and selling.

Notes : This combination gives fighting tendency accor- di ng to Kasinatha, author of Lagna Chandrika.

According to Jatakabharana one will deal with textiles, will have vices, be of good conduct, and will like good clothes etc. if this yoga is present at birth.

168 Saravali

(चं० श०)जीर्णवधूजनरमरो गजाश्वसम्पालको 'विगतशीलः। वश्यो विधनः पुरुषः पराजितः स्याच्छशाङ्गशनियोगे ॥१२॥ 12. MOON-SATURN YOGA : Should the Moon and Saturn be together, the native will possess a decayed wife, be dear to public, will breed elephants and horses, be deviod of virtues, be under the control of others, unwealthy and defeated. Notes : These two together promote tendency o f seeking sexual pleasures with aged women. The native's wife may be elder than him. If found in woman's horoscope, widowhood will follow.

Vide Jatakabharana, the Moon-Saturn company will make one attend upon many women, attached to whores, be of bad conduct, born of others' loins and unwealthy.

(मं० बु०)स्त्रीदुर्भगोऽल्पवित्तः सुवर्णलोहप्रकारकः स्थपतिः । दुष्टस्त्रीविधवानां कुजबुधयोरौषधक्रिया निपुणः॥१३॥ 13. MARS-MERCURY YOGA : If Mars and Mercury are together at birth, the native will have unlucky wife, little wealth, will work with gold and iron, be an architect, will keep a wicked widow and be expert in making medicines.

Notes : rqqfa means a king, architect, master-carpenter, women's attendant, Kubera etc. But, as Mercury rules archi- tects, the proper interpretatio. is architcct. It is not however wrong to apply the various meanings as above, except "Kubera" denoting wealth.

Mars-Mercury conjunction promotes thieving disposition. The native will well pursue jobs related to gold, metals etc. Good salesmanship will follow this combination, but however it is unfortunate for marital bliss.

According to Jatakabharana, the native with Mercury- Mars conjinction will be an expert in boxing, be attached to females, will deal with medicines, and will produce golden and steel articles.

Chapter 15 169

(मं० गु०) शिल्पश्रुतिशास्त्रज्ञो मेधावी वाग्विशारदो मतिमान्। अ्ररस्त्रप्रिय प्रधान: सुरगुरुकुजयोः समागतयोः ॥१४॥ 14.

According to Jatakabharana, with these two planets toge- ther, one will enjoy many women, will gamble, be a liar, be honourable and be inimical to all. (मं० श०)धात्विन्द्रजालकुशलः प्रवञ्चकस्तेयकर्मकुश लश्च। कुजसौरयोविधर्मः शस्त्रविषघ्नः कलिरुचिः स्यात् ॥१६॥ 16. MARS-SATURN YOGA : If Mars and Saturn be together, one will be a metallurgist, be expert in jugglery, be deceitful, skilful in thieving, troubled by weapons and poison and be fond of quarrels.

170 Šaravali

(बु० श०)ऋणवान् दम्भप्रायः प्रपञचकः तत्कविर्गमनशीलः। निपुणः शोभनवाक्यो बुधशनियोगे पुमान् भवति ॥१६॥ 19.

21. JUPITER-SATURN YOGA : A native who has Jupiter and Saturn together at birth will be heroic, will have plenty of wealth, will be chief of the city (mayor etc.), famous, and will be the head of an assembly, a village or an association.

Notes : This combination is congenial for political posi- tions, like assembly speakers, village heads, mayors etc. as well as heads of associations etc. Such people are also found as successful doctors and advocates.

Jatakabharana has almost similar views as of Kalyana Varma, but adds that the native will achieve his aims.

(शु० श०) दारुविदारणदक्षः क्षुरचित्रार्मादिकर्मशिल्पी च। मल्लोऽटनः पशुवतिः शनिसितयोगे पुमान् भवति ॥२२॥

22. VENUS-SATURN YOGA : If Venus and Saturn are together at birth, one will be expert in breaking wood, be a barbour, painter, or sculptor, boxer, be intent on wandering and be owner of quadrupeds.

Notes : If these two are strong in a good house, one will take to good professions described above, viz. painting, boxing etc. Should they be weak, the native will resort to mean pro- fessions, viz., barbour, wood-breaking etc. उक्तं फलं गगनगा यद्यन्योन्यगणस्थिताः । अधमादिविकल्पेन कुर्वन्ति विकृति तथा ॥२३॥

23 Whatever results have been stated as above are likely to become increased or decreased according to mutual good or bad vargas occupied by the planets in question.

इति कल्याणवर्मंविरचितायां सारावल्यां द्विग्रहयोगो नाम पञ्चदशोध्याय: ।१५।।

Thus ends the 15th chapter entitled "Conjunction of two planets" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

172 Saravali

तथ त्रिग्रहयोगाध्यायः ॥१६।।

Chapter 16 Conjunctions of 3 Planets निर्लज्ज: पापरतो यन्त्रज्ञः शत्रुदारणे शूरः। अखिलक्रियासु कुशलः सहस्थितः सूर्यशशिभौमैः॥१॥

1. SUN-MOON-MARS YOGA : Should the Sun, the Moon and Mars be together at birth, the native will be bereft of shame, be sinful, will have knowledge of machinery, will destroy enemies, be brave, and will be expert in any kind of work. Notes : The yoga of Sun-Moon and Mars in combination will promote the ability to produce machinery, spurious articles etc. This can also cause seminal defects. The native will be hard of progeny. तेजस्वी निपुमतिः नृपकृत्यकरो धीरो रदिशशिशिजः सहैकस्थैः ॥२॥ 2. SUN-MOON-MERCURY YOGA : If the Sun, Moon and Mercury are together, the native will be splendorous, very intelligent, will be fond of arts, assembly and drinks, be in royal service and bold. Notes : The native with this yoga will do well to take up government jobs or agencies from government. This is congenial for political success, literary pursuits and achieving wealth. क्रद्धो मायानिपुणः सेवाकुशलो विदेशगमनरतः। भेधावी चपलमतिः सहस्थितैरर्कशशिजीवैः॥३॥

2. SUN-MOON-JUPITER YOGA : Should the Sun, Moon and Jupiter be in one house, the native will be given to anger, be cunning, expert in service, intent on going to foreign places, be intelligent and fickleminded. Notes : These three planets together can make one pious, affectionate to relatives, a minister and firm in disposition. He

Chapter 16 173

is more cunning than sincere. He is fickleminded, learned and skilful in his profession. परधनहरणे निपुरः परदाररतश्च शास्त्रनिपुणश्च। रविचन्द्रदैत्यपूज्य रेकस्थर्जायते मनुजः॥४॥

4. SUN-MOON-VENUS YOGA : Should the Sun, Moon and Venus be in one house at birth, the native will steal others' money, will be a debaucher and be expert in Sastras.

Notes : The combination under discussion can give thiev- ing tendency, vices (particularly immoral nature) and aversion to good acts. The native will be prone to dental diseases or may have unsightly teeth. He may not get on well with his mother. The marriage may be a delayed one. It gives physical beauty if undisturbed by Saturn or a node. This is a good position to win over the enemies. कामी विवादकुशलो मूर्खः परतन्त्रगो दरिद्रश्च। सूर्य निशाकररविज रेकस्थर्जायते मनुज: ॥५॥ 5. SUN-MOON-SATURN YOGA : If the Sun, Moon and Saturn be together in one house, the native will be lustful, be expert in arguments, be a dunce, be at the disposal of others and be poor.

Notes : The combination as above is good for legal pro- fession. If these are not well-aspected, poverty will result. The native will be quite libidinous and be not virtuous. Horse- breeders will do well with this yoga. Metallurgists can also look forward to good position. In all, this yoga causes many general failures in one's undertnkings.

भवति ख्यातो मल्लः साहसिको निष्ठुरो विगतलज्जः । धनसुतकलत्ररहितः सहस्थितैरर्ककुजसौम्यैः ॥६॥

6. SUN-MARS-MERCURY YOGA : If the Sun, Mars and Mercury are in one house at birth, the native will be famous, hard-hearted, shameless and be devoid of wealth, sons and wife,

174 Saravali

Notes : This combination may have more telling effects on the marital life than on the question of children. If it occurs in the 7th house, marriage is very adverse. Success in money matters is very limited. If, however, the influence of Mars is less in this yoga, the native will be learned and wealthy.

वचसि निपुरणो महार्थः क्षितिपतिमन्त्री च भूपतिर्वाडपि।

सत्यवचनः प्रचण्ड: सहस्थितभौंमगुरुसूये:॥७॥

7. SUN-JUPITER-MARS YOGA : Should Mars, Jupiter and the Sun be together at birth, the native will be an expert speaker, very wealthy, either a king's minister or even a king himself, be truthful and fierce.

Notes : These planets together at birth can make the person easily and highly irritable. The native will be a gifted speaker and be skilful in work and can hope to reach high position in life depending upon the house of the conjunction. For example, in the 10th, this yoga can produce parliamenta- rians, political stars, judges, army heads etc. Shoud the Rasi involved be Cancer or Capricorn or Libra as the 10th (where one of these will be in fall) the native though can acquire prosperous position, is not free from downfall.

नयनातुरः कुलीनः सुभगो वाक्शल्यसंयुतो मनुजः। भृगुभौमदिवसनाथैः सहस्थितंः स्याद्विभवयुक्तः ॥८॥

8. VENUS-MARS-SUN YOGA : One who has Venus, Mars and the Sun in one house, will be subjected to eye diseases, belongs to a good race, will be fortunate, harsh and wealthy.

Notes : The native with this combination will be more materialstic and sensuous. He is prone to eye diseases. (Parti- cularly, the ascendant with this trio can deprive one of eye- sight.) He does not speak much but harshly and ably. This is a good position for intelligence of high order and for achieve- ments in movie line, photo studios, music etc.

Chapter 16 ' 175

semilar results regarding the father of the native if the Sun joins malefics at birth. Benefics in the place of malefics in the said yogas will prove auspicious to the respective parent. If the planets joining be of mixed nature (i.e. one benefic and another malefic), the effects are medium.

Even in the 12th, the conjunction of 3 planets, one of them being the 2nd lord, causes powerful monetary yoga, (see Sarvartha Chintamani). Malefics conjunct prove adverse and it is better that they ar e separated from eaeh other. Their concentration on one parti- cular Bhava-by way of conjunction-proves severely inauspi- cious for that particular house while their separation distributes the imbalances evenly.

Notes : In general, even if there be mutual aspects between five or six planets, they yield unpleasant results as though they are in conjunction. The reason is most of the Bhavas in the chart come under adverse effect, as all planets except the luminaries own two houses each.

Chapter 20 201.

मन्देन्दुवाक्पतिसिता नियतं यतीनां कुर्वन्ति जन्म फलपाककृताशनानाम्॥१५।। 15. A sage living only by eating fruits is denoted by the combination of the luminaries, Venus and Mercury; or Mars, Mercury, Venus and Saturn; or Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus.

र्गुरुसितरविमन्दैः शुक्रजीवेन्दुवक्रः। कुज बुधसितचन्द्र रेभिरेकर्क्षयातं- र्भवति गिरिवनौकास्तापसः सर्ववन्द्यः ॥१६॥ 16.

1. Unsuccessful mendicant.

202 Šaravali

19. The luminaries, Mercury, Mars and Venus or the luminaries, Mars, Jupiter Venus if be together, the native certainly will become an ascetic.

प्रव्रज्येशे दिनकरगते भक्तिमन्तो न शक्ताः प्रव्रज्यायाः सुबलसहितः स्थर्यमाहुर्ग्रहेन्द्रः । सम्पूर्णानां वशमनुगतः प्रच्युतिस्तर्ब हुत्वे वीर्योपेतर्भवति बहुभिः सब्दलस्यानुपूर्व्यात ॥२०॥

20. If the Sun denotes ascetism (i.e. being the strongest in the yoga), there will only be faith in the religious order while competence (to fulfil the order) will lack. If the planet, con- tributing to such order is overpowered by another planet (i.e. in eclipse, planetary war etc.) the native will give up the order- after being initiated into it. Should many planets denote such an order, there may be many kinds of religious orders, but these will depend on the order of the planet. प्रव्रज्यायाः स्वामी रविमुषिततनुर्निरीक्षितो वाऽन्यः। याचितदीक्षा भवति च यवनाधिपतेर्यथा वाक्यम्॥२१॥ 21. If the planet indicating ascetism is combust in the Sun or is aspected by another heavenly body, the native will only have an earnest desire to be initiated into the religious order but will not attain fruition of his aim. So say Yavanas.

शशी हकाणे रविजस्य संस्थितः कुजारकिदृष्टः प्रकरोति तापसम्। कुजांशके वा रविजेन दृष्टो नवांशतुल्यं कथयन्ति तत्पुनः ॥२२॥ 22. The native will attain religious order if the Moon, posited in a decanate of Saturn, is aspected by Mars and Saturn. The same effect is produced if ihe Moon occupies the Navamsa of Aries/Scorpio in aspect to Saturn.

जन्माधिपः सूर्यसूतेन दृष्टः शेषरदृष्टः पुरुषस्य सूतौ। आत्मीयदीक्षां कुरुते ह्यवश्यं पूर्वोक्तमत्रापि विचारणीयम् ॥२३॥ 23. If the lord of the Moon sign receives the solus aspect of Saturn (i.e. unaspected by others than Saturn), one will

Chapter 20 203

enter religious order. Even in this context, the earlier yogas if present will only prevail. जन्मपतिविपुलाङ्गः पश्यति सौरि चतुष्टये प्रबलम्। यस्य स भाग्यविहीन: प्रव्रज्यां प्राप्नुयातं पुरुषः ॥२४॥ 24. If the lord of the Moon sign, bright with rays, lends his aspect to Saturn while Saturn is in an angle, the native will lose his fortunes only to enter into a religious order.

गुरुहिमगुरवीरणामेक एवोदयस्थो गगनतलगतो वा रिःफगश्चाल्पमू्तिः । अविकलबलभाजा सूर्यपुत्रेर दृषो जनयति खलु जातं तापसं दुखभाजम् ॥२५॥ 25. If one among the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter be devoid of strength, and occupy the ascendant or the 10th or the 12th in aspect to strong Saturn, the native will become distressed ascetic.

कुमुदवनसुबन्धुं सौम्यभागे बलस्थं वियति गमनशीलान् स्वोच्चभस्थांश्च शेषान्। यदि दिनकरपुत्र: पश्यति प्राप्तवीर्यो भवति भुवननाथो दीक्षितश्च स्वतन्त्र: ॥२६।।

26. Should the Moon with strength be in the 10th, falling in a benefic's Navamsa while others occupy their exaltation marks and all being in aspect to strong Saturn, the native will become the lord of the earth to only become an ascetic. पतिशयबलयुक्तः शीतगुः शुक्लपक्षे बलविरहितरिक्तं प्रेक्षते लग्ननाथम्। यदि भवति तपस्वी दुःखितः शोकतप्तो धनजनपरिहीन: 27. If waxing Moon, with superior strength, aspects the ascendant lord, the latter being bereft of strength and being

204 Saravali

alone (in that Rasi), the native will be devoid of wealth and own men, be miserable, sorrowful, will take to ascetism and will obtain his food with great inconvenience. सौरि: शुभभागस्थः पश्यति चन्द्रं ग्रहांस्तर्थवान्यान्। कुम्भांशेषु प्राप्तान् जनयति दीक्षान्वितं पुरुषम् ॥२८॥ 28. One will become a religious mendicant if Saturn occupying a benefic's navamsa aspects others including the Moon. The Moon in this case should only be in Aquarius Navamsa. एकर्क्षगतः सर्वेर्जन्माधिपतिरनिरीक्षितो यस्य। दीक्षा तस्यावश्यं भयतीति पुरातनः कथितम् ॥२६॥ 29. If the lord of the Moon sign aspects all the other planets, while these are all together in one Rasi, the native will become an ascetic. अ्रग्नीनां परिचारका गिरिनदीतीराश्रमे तापसा: सूर्याराधनतत्परा गणपतेर्भक्ता उमायाश्च ये। गायत्रीं जपतां वने नियमिनां गङ्गाभिषेकार्थिनां कौमारव्रतमिच्छतामधिपतिस्तेषां सदा भास्करः ॥३०॥

30. The Sun rules the ascetics of the following orders : Those who worship the Fire God in forests or on river banks, those who worship (the omnipotent) Sun God, Elephant-faced Ganesa and His benevolent mother Parvati, those who recite the hymns of Gayatri (which are very sacred), those who are vowed to bathe in the sacred Ganges everyday and those who maintain (absolute) celebacy. वृद्धश्रावकभस्मधूलिधवलाः शवव्रते ये स्थिता बाह्याः पातकितां गता भगवतीभक्ताश्च निःसङ्गिनः। सिद्धान्ते खलु सोमनाम्नि निरता: कापालिका निष्ठुरा- स्तेषां नायकतां गतः शशधरः खट्वाङ्गपासिद्युतिः।३१। 31. The religious order belonging to the Moon attracts the following various persons : Those disciples who smear

Chapter 20 205

their bodies with sacred ashes, those who worship the Feet of Lord Siva, those who are abandoned by the society, those who are devoted to Bhagavati, those who give up company of otherss those who take to Soma Siddhanta and those who carry bowls in their hands (for begging alms).

उपासका बुद्धसमाश्रयं गता: शिखां विना पाण्डरभिक्षवश्च थे। सुवाससो रक्तपटा जितेन्द्रियाः प्रभु: सदषां क्षितिजः प्रकीतितः ॥३२॥ 32. The Buddhist monks, the tonsured, those who wear white apparels, those who beg wearing good robes, those who wear blood-red clothes and those that have conquered their five senses-all these mendicants are ruled by Mars.

आजीविनां कुहकिनां समयाधिकारे ये दीक्षितास्तनुभृतः खलु गारुडे च। तन्त्रे वयूरपिशिताशनयोश्च युक्ता- स्तेषां शशा ङ्तनयोऽधिपतिर्निरुक्तः ॥३३॥

33. Mercury denotes an alm-seeker, a conjurer, a snake poison curer, and one who eats the flesh of a peacock.

Notes: The words "मयूरपिशिताशन" are split thus: मयूर=peacock, पिशित =flesh, आशन=eat. Though it means that the native will live on the flesh of peacocks, it sounds peculiar to us. Some commentators have, however, inter- preted this as : one wearing the crest of a peacock, which meaning we are unable to detect."

एकं त्रीनथवा वहन्ति मुनयो दण्डान् कषायाम्बरा वानप्रस्यमुपागताः फलपयोभक्षाशच ये भिक्षवः। गार्हस्थ्येन तु संस्थिता नियमिनः सद्ब्रह्मचर्य गता- स्तेषां दण्डपतिः सुरेन्द्रसचिवस्तीर्थेषु ये स्नातकाः ॥३४॥ 34, The ascetics ruled by Jupiter are : those who hold a

single sceptre (or mace), those who hold three sceptres, those who wear red coloured apparels, those who are in the third stage of their religious life (araSTu), those who pull on their lives with fruits and water (alone), those who still are attached to family ties, those who maintain celebacy and those who take to visiting shrines etc.

पाशुपतयज्ञदीक्षाव्रतेषु ये नित्यमेव संयुक्ताः। वैष्णवचरकारणामपि तेषां नेता प्रकोतितः शुकः॥३५॥

35. Venus rules the mendicants of Saivite and Vaishna- vite sects.

पाषण्डव्रतनिरता दिगम्बरा भिक्षवो ये च। तेषामधिपतिराकि: श्रावकतरुमूलिनश्च दुस्तपसः ॥३६॥

36. Religious hypocrites, bare mendicants and the ascetics who sit under shadowy trees in forests are ruled by Saturn.

37. Should Rajayogas be simultaneously present along with the above ascetic yogas, all the evil results are nullified and the native will become very virtuous, will be adored by all the kings, himself becoming a king and will take to reli- gious order.

NABHASA YOGAS: Yavanas have explained 1800 kinds of Nabhasa yogas out of which I detail below 32. Notes : The effeets of these yogas are supposed to be experienced by the native, irrespective of the Dasa periods. Balabhadra in his illustrious "Hora Ratna" adopted this sloka of Kalyanavarma, so to say 32 are major Nabhasa yogas. that are generally dealt with. नोच्छत्र कूट कार्मुकश् ङ्गाटकव ज्रदामनीपाशाः । वीरणासरोजमुसला वापीहलशरसमुद्रचक्राणि ॥ २॥ माला सर्पार्धेन्दु यवकेदारी गदाविहगयूपाः । युगशकटशूलदण्ड। रज्जुः शक्तिस्तथा नलो गोल: ॥३। सचराचरस्य जगतो योगैरेभि: प्रकीर्त्यते प्रसवः । आश्रयजातान् प्राहुर्माशित्या मुसलरज्जुनलयोगान्॥ ४ ॥ 2-4. KINDS OF NABHASA YOGA : The following are the 32 Nabhasa yogas Nau (at) Chatra, Koota, Chaapa, Sringataka, Vajra, Damani, Pasa, Veena, Kamala, Musala, Vapi, Hala, Sara (T₹), Samudra, Chakra, Maala. Sarpa, Ardha Chandra, Yava, Kedara, Gada, Pakshi Yupa, Yuga, Sakata, Soola, Danda, Rajju, Sakthi, Nala and Gola. The Asraya Yogas, viz. Musala, Rajju and Nala are dealt with by Acharya Manitha. Notes : The 32 Nabhasa Yogas consist of 20 Akriti yogas, 7 Sankhya yogas, 3 Asraya yogas and 2 Dala (Ardha) yogas. Veena yoga is called Vallaki yoga by some exponents. As per Varaha Mihira, Asraya yogas are dealt with by Sathya vide sloka 2, ch. 12 of Bhrihat Jataka). गोलयुगशूलपाशा वोरणाकेदारदामनीसंज्ञाः। सप्तते संख्याख्याः पूर्वाचार्ये: समुद्दिष्टाः ॥ ५॥

The two Dala yogas viz. Sarpa (Bhujanga) and Mala are explained by Parasara Maharshi. Savitracharya death with remaining 20 yogas. Note: See Parasara's statement : मालाख्यः सर्प संज्ञरच दलयोगे प्रकीतितौ।

One born with an Asraya will obtain the good effects, viz. happiness, advantages and qualities, provided there is no other kind of (Nabhasa) yoga present in the horoscope. If other (Nabhasa) yoga is present in addition to an Asraya Yoga then the effects of Asraya yoga do not ccme to pass, but the other (Nabhasa) yoga prevails. Notes : As we have seen, the three Asraya yogas are Musala, Rajju and Nala. Should one of them be present ex- clusively, without the presence of another kind of Sankhya, Akriti, or Dala yoga, then only Asraya yoga comes to pass. Alternatlvely if an Asraya yoga is present while one of San- khya, Akriti or Dala yogas is present, then Asraya yoga fails and the other yoga prevails. See sloka 5 in Nabhasa yoga chapter of Hora Ratna. नन्दन्ति स्वैर्भाग्यतृ पलब्धघना नृपप्रिया: ख्याताः । प्रायेण सौख्ययुक्ताश्चाकृतियोगेषु ये जाताः॥।८॥ परभाग्यलब्धसौख्या: परभाग्येरेव जीवित तेषाम्। संख्यासंज्ञे जाता ये पुरुषा: सर्वतो विकलाः ॥६॥ क्वचित् स्वभाग्य: क्वचिदेवमेवं क्वचित्परादृत्पतितं फलं च। क्वचित्सुखं दुःखमतीव कष्टं समार्धयोगे पुरुषो लभेत ॥१०॥ 8-10. EFFECT OF AKRITI, SANKHYA AND DALA YOGAS: One born in Akriti yoga will be satisfied with his own fortunes, will earn through a king, be dear to king and be famous. Should there be a Sahkhya yoga, the native will

Chapter 21 209

be happy only with others' wealth, will live only through others' help will and be always not peaceful. A native with Dala yoga will sometimes enjoy his own fortune, yet sometimes that of others, will pick up the fruits thrown on the ground by others, be sometimes happy and sometimes sorrowful. Notes: Out of the Nabhasa yogas, Akriti yogas are superior followed by Sankhya yogas i.e. the former gives best results while Sankhya yogas gives mixed-both bad and good- effects. The last kind of Nabhasa yoga, i.e. Ardha (Dala) is an inferior yoga and such a native is solely dependant on others. होरादिकण्टकेभ्यः सप्तर्क्षगतः क्रमेण योगा: स्युः । नौ-कूट-चछत्र-कार्मुकनिर्वेशा: पूर्वयवनेन्द्रः ॥ ११॥ 11. NAUKA, KOOTA, CHATRA AND CHAPA YOGAS: If the seven planets occupy continuous houses starting from the ascendant and the other three angles, yogas called Nauka, Koota, Chatra and Chapa are respectively formed. Notes: 1. Nau or Nauka yoga is formed when the seven planets occupy the seven continuous houses from Lagna i. e. from ascendant to the 7th house. See an example chart:

Lagna Sun Venus Mer.

Mars Saturn

In this kind of yogas, the presence of nodes is not taken into account. With the help of the above chart, the other 3 yogas explained in the present sloka can bc grasped as under :

210 Saravali

2. Koota yoga is formed when the seven planets occupy the seven continuous houses from the 4th house, i. e. from the 4th through the 10th. 3. Chatra yoga is formed when the seven planets occupy the seven continuous houses from the 7th house, i. e. from the "7th through the ascendant. 4. Chapa yoga forms when the seven planets occupy the seven continuous houses from the 10th house, i. e. from the 10th through the 4th. This is also called Karmuka yoga. लग्नादिकण्टकेभ्यश्चतुगृ हावस्थितग्रंहैर्योगा: 1 यूप-शर-शक्ति-दण्डाः - सत्याचार्यप्रिया नित्यम् ॥ १२॥ 12. YUPA, SARA' SAKTHI AND DANDA YOGAS : If the seven planets occupy four continuous houses counted from the a cendant and its angles, the resultant yogas are known as Yupa, Sara (or Ishu-arrow), Sakthi and Danda respectively Notes : In the previous sloka, the 4 yogas are formed by planets in seven continuous houses from Lagna and its three angles, while the present sloka deals with 4 kinds of different yogas formed by seven planets continuously in 4 houses from Lagna and its angles. Yupa yoga is formed if 4 houses are continuously occupied by the seven planets, counted from the ascendant, i.e. in the Lagna, 2nd, 3rd and 4th houses. See an example chart as under :

Lagna Sun Jupiter Mars Mer Venus Moon

Saturn YUPA YOGA

Chapter 21 211

The seven planets should only be in the said order. The grouping can be in any number within the requirement of the stipulati on. 2. Sara (Ishu) yoga is formed if the seven planets restriet themselves within the 4 houses continuously, commencing from the 4th house, i. e. in the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th houses. 3. Sakthi yoga forms if the seven planets are posited in continuous four houses, commencing from the 7th through the 10th house.

4. Danda yoga is constituted if the 4 houses from the 10th to ascendant are occupied by the seven planets. The formation of Sara, Sakthi and Danda yogas can be conceived from the example chart given for Yupa Yoga above. There should not be any vacant house in between, in these 4 yogas as well as the ones under the previous sloka.

सप्तर्क्षगैर्ग्रहेन्द्रः केन्द्रादन्यत्र कोतितोऽर्धशशी। केन्द्रप्रत्यासन्नर्भवनद्वयगर्गदा नाम ॥ १३॥

13. ARDHA CHANDRA AND GADA YOGAS : If the seven planets occupy cotinuously seven houses commencing from a house which is not angular to the ascendant, the yoga produced is known as Ardha Chandra (Ardha Sasi) yoga. Gada yoga forms when all the seven planets occupy two succesive angles from the ascendant. Notes : Ardhachandra yoga should not commence from the ascendant, 4th, 7th or 10th from ascendant. It can start from the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th or 12th and the planets should bd stationed continuously in seven houses. For example, if this yoga starts from the 2nd house, all the participating planets should be in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th in continuous order. Gada yoga is formed by all the seven planets remaining (a) in the ascendant and 4th, or (b) in the 4th and 7th or (c) in the 7th and 10th (d) or in the 10th and ascendant. Thus, there are 8 kinds of Ardha Sasi yogas and 4 kinds of Gada yogas.

212 Saravali

लग्नास्तगतैः सौम्येः पापेः सुखकर्मगैभवति वज्त्रम्। विपरीतर्यवयोगो मिश्रः पद्म बहिःस्थितैर्वापी॥१४॥

14 VAJRA, YAVA, PADMA AND VAPI YOGAS: If benefics occupy the Lagna and 7th while malefics are in the 4th and 10th Vajra yoga is formed. Conversely, if malefics are in the Lagna and 7th while 4th and 10th are occupied by benefics, Yava yoga is prcduced. If all the planets are disposed in four kendras, Padma (Kamala) yoga is formed. Should the seven planets be relegated either to Apoklima houses (3, 6, 9 and 12th) or to Panapharas (2, 5, 8 and 11 houses), Vapi yoga is formed.

Notes : There is a technical flaw in Vajra yoga. Malefi cs ie. the Sun etc. should be in the 4th and 10th while benefics like Mercury and Venus should be in the Lagna and 7th. There cannot be so much elongation between the Sun and Mercury or Sun and Venus that they are 4 houses apart. This defect lies in Yava yoga also. That is why Varaha Mihira too raises a query in sloka 6, ch. 12 in Brihat Jataka as to how Mercury and Venus can be in the 4th house from the Sun. He simply explained Vajra, Yava and the like according to ancient Sasthras. Gunakara in Hora Makaranda also states in this context : सूर्याच्चतुर्ये भवने सितज्ञौ कथं भवेतामिति सुप्रसिद्धम् ।

होरास्तगतैः शकटं चतुर्थदशमाश्रितर्भवेद्विहगः। उदयान्यगैस्त्रिकोणे हल इति शृङ्गाटकं सलग्ने तत्॥ १५ ॥

15, SAKATA, VIHAGA, HALA AND SRINGATAKA YOGAS: If all planets occupy only the ascendant and the 7th house, Sakata yoga is formed. Similar participation of all the planets in the 4th and 10th houses constitutes Vihaga (Pakshi) Yoga. Should all the planets be in mutual trines, avoiding the ascendant, Hala yoga is formed. All planets relegated only to the ascendant and its trines give rise to Sringataka yoga. This Sakata yoga, a kind of Nabhasa yoga, is different from the usual Sakata yoga, popularly formed by the mutual quincunx position or 2/12 position of Jupiter-Moon, see

Chapter 21 213

Phala Deepika, ch. 6, sloka 14. The present yoga is simple and needs no explanation. Vihaga (Pakshi) yoga forms when all planets are in 4th and 10th only. Mercury, Venus and the Sun should fall either in the 4th or in the 10th in lot and they cannot be separated in this yoga.

Hala yoga is formed if all the planets are in mutual trines, but not falling in Lagna. This naturally restricts the participation of 5th and 9th houses as well. Thus, the seven planets sohuld be in groups as under :

(a) 2nd house and its trines, i.e. 6th and 10th, or (b) 3rd, 7th and 11th-mutual trines, or (c) 4th, 8th and 12th-mutual trines Thus, there can be 3 kinds of Hala Yogas, which make the planets remain in mutual trines.

Srinagtaka means a triangle. When all the planets are in mutual trines a triangle is formed. In this case, the planets should be in ascendant, 5th and 9th.

In Hala Yoga and Sringataka, the seven planets get distributed to 3 different Rasis while in Sakata and Pakshi yogas, the participant houses are 2. The trinal yogas (Hala and Sringataka) are better than the other two, Sakata and Pakshi, formed by opposition.

राश्यन्तरितर्लग्नात् षड्भवनगतैर्भवेच्चक्रम् । पर्थात्तरथव यातश्चक्राकारो भवेज्जलधिः ॥१६॥

16. CHAKRA AND SAMUDRA YOGAS: Should all the planets occupy alternative Rasis commencing from the Lagna, Chakra yoga is formed. If these occupy alternative Rasis from the 2nd onwards, Samudra yoga is formed.

Notes : In Chakra yoga all the planets (excluding nodes) should be in six odd houses commencing from Lagna. These should be in six even bhavas commencing from the 2nd, to cause Samudra yoga. The following charts will give an illustration of these two rare but exemplary yogas :

214 Saravali

Lagna Sun Venus Merc

Mars CHAKRA YOGA

Moon Sat

SAMUDRA Merc

Sat Jup

In both the yogas, each planet has an aspect from another planet. Chakra yoga does not involve any trika house and hence its results are more splendid. It particularly involves an gles and a trine. Samudra yoga involves the 6th, 8th and 12th also. Then the good results will be far improved if these 3 houses are occupied only by such lords. For results, see slokas 35 and 36 infra

Chapter 21 215

17. Thus, I have explained the twenty different Akriti yogas. Now, I explain the Asraya yogas as per the schools of thought of senior Garga etc.

उभयस्थिरचरसंस्थैः सर्वेर्नलमुसलरज्जवः क्रमशः। केन्द्रेषु सौम्यपापर्माला सर्पश्च दलयोगौ ॥१८ ॥

18. ASRAYA AND DALA YOGAS : Should all the planets be in dual Rasis, Nala yoga is formed. Similarly, if these are in Fixed Rasis, Musala yoga takes place and in movable Rasis Rajju yoga is formed. All angles occupied exclusively by benefics cause Maala yoga while malefics in all angles produce Sarpa yoga. These two are Dala yogas.

Notes : The seven planets disposed in all dual Rasis, i. e. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces produce Nala yoga. The four Fixed Rasis, i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius should contain all the seven planets so that Musala yoga is formed. Movable Rasis i.e. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn shall be occupied by the seven planets to produce Rajju Yoga. In these 3 yogas, all the four respective Rasis, in each case should be occupied and none should be vacant. The rising degree has no consideration here. See the example charts given below :

In the case of Mala yoga, the benefics should occupy four kendras. That is all the four kendras should be occupied. 100% natural benefics are only Venus and Jupiter. Mercury is not a benefic if he is with a malefic, and the Moon with losing rays is a malefic. This is as per standard astrological principles. Malefic participation is prohibited in this yoga and hence Mercury should remain a benefic. The Moon is a benefic from the 11th day of Sukla Paksha through 5th day of Krishna Paksha, as she is normally described in the various texts. There can be a 76° eiongation between Venus and Mercury and hence they can separately fall in angular signs mutually. Now, keeping these details in mind, see the following chart

Chapter 21 217

in which Maala yoga (also called as Srak yoga by Varsha Mihira) is depicted :

Moon (Mars) Jup

(Sat) MAALA YOGA

Veous (Sun) Lagna Merc.

Note the position of the Moon with reference to the Sun and at the same time in a Lagna Kendra. Also note the malefics not falling in any angles. They can be anywhere other than the angles. Sarpa yoga is formed when the 4 angles are occupied by malefics. We have only three natural malefics, i. e. Saturn, Mars and the Sun. The 4th one is made up by the Moon as explained under Maala yoga. Mercury cannot be separately in angle as he cannot become a malefic without the company of a malefic, provided he is with Rahu or Ketu. To make Mercury a maleflc, is not possible here as the Sun and Mercury cannot be mutually angular. See the chart as under :

In the said yoga, if Mercury, Venus or Jupiter be angular, then Sarpa yoga stands nullifled. एकभवनादिसंस्थैः संख्याख्या: स्युर्यथाक्रमं योगाः। गोलयुगशूलसंज्ञा: केदारः पाशदामनीवीरा॥ १६॥ 19. SANKHYA YOGAS : If all the seven planets occupy one Rasi, Gola yoga is formed. Similarly in 2 Rasis-Yuga yoga, in 3 Rasis-Sula yoga, in 4 Rasis-Kedara Yoga, in 5 Rasis-Pasa yoga, in 6 Rasis-Damani and in 7 Rasis-Veena (Vallaki) yoga. Note : These yogas are simple and need no explanation. एतेषां फलयोगं कथयामि यथाक्रमं मुनिभिरुक्तम्। सर्वदशास्वपि फलदाः सकला एते बुधैश्चिन्त्याः ॥ २०॥ सलिलोपजीवविभवा बह्वाया: ख्यातकीतयो हृष्टाः। कृपरा बलिनो लुब्धा नौसम्भूताइ्चला: पुरुषाः॥२१॥ 20-21. EFEECTS OF NABHASA YOGAS : NAU YOGA : The native's livelihood will be through water; he will have many gains, will be very famous, be pleäsed, mean, strong and stingy. This and others yogas are effective at all times indepe- , ndant of Dasas. Notes : According to Brihat Parasara Hora Sasthra (ch. 35, sloka 36), the native with this yoga, will derive bis liveli- hood through water and become wealthy, will have many desires, be famous, wicked, miserly and dirty. (The name r suggests a boat and hence is a favourable yoga for business abroad, through water, navigators, divers etc.) Varaha Mihira in Brihat Jataka states that happiness in not uninterru- pted with this yoga (vide ch. 12). The reason is that a boat is not destined to remain steady in one place and moves to and fro in many conditions. Jataka Parijata explains away this yoga, stating "नौभवस्तोय जीवी" meaning that one with Nau yoga lives through water. Jatakabharana says thus: One with Nau yoga will be famous, be a miser, be devoid of happiness (as against Varaha's "interrupted happiness"), be always miserable, fickle-minded and will live by stolen wealth. Parasara's aaTRTT in the sloka

Chapter 21 219

concerned reads in Kalyana Varma's statement as ar both differently meaning "very greedy" and "many gains" respectively. However, Balabhadra's statement in his Hora Ratna is identical with that of Parasara. Kalyana Varma āpparently means that the native will have many gains in professions related to water. In this yoga, two watery signs will always be involved and hence livelihood through water is obviously indicated.

आ्नृतिककितवबन्धनपाला निष्किञ्चना: शठाः क्रराः। कटसमुत्था नित्यं भवन्ति गिरिदुर्गवासिनो मनुजाः ॥ २२ ॥ 22. KOOTA YOGA : The native with Koota yoga will be a liar, be crafty, be a jailor, be poor, wicked, cruel and will always live in hills and fortresses. Notes : Parasara in his Hora Sastra (ch. 35) attributes similar results while Varaha Mihira (BJ, ch. XII) denotes a liar and a jailor with this yoga. The native will carry out cruel acts according to Jataka: Parijatha, (ch. 7). Vide Jatakabharna, the native will be devoid of wealth, will do blameworthy jobs, be devoid of knowledge of the right and wrong and will be fraudulent. Similar veiws are found in Manasagari.

स्वजनाश्रयो दयावान् दाता नृपवल्लभः प्रकृष्टमतिः। प्रथमेऽन्त्ये वयसि नरः सुखभाग्ययुतः सितातपत्रभवः॥२३॥ 23. CHATRA YOGA : The native with Chatra Yoga will help his own men, be kind, liberal, dear to king, very intelli- gent, and will enjoy happiness in boyhood and at the end. Notes : Similar results can be seen in Brihat Parasara Hora Sasthra. Varaha Mihira, however, states that the native will be happy (only) at the end of his life. (BJ, ch. 12). Hora Makaranda denotes that the native will have a small body with this yoga. According to Manasagari, the person will be a scholar, be endowed with all kinds of happiness at the beginning and at the end, and will be blessed with regal paraphernalia. Hora Ratna, ch. 6, adds "long life" to the effects.

220 Saravali

The native will be very rich and strong in the words of Jataka Parijata. To sum up, three important angles being occupied in this yoga, the subject will be long-lived, rich, strong, happy and will enjoy all royal comforts in the start and at the end. The 4th, 5th and 2nd unoccupied, if coming under adverse aspects, may lead to financial downfall, obviously in the middle of life. As the opposite houses will be occupied, the 5th, 4th and 2nd will receive some aspect.

आनुतिकगुप्तिपालाइचोरा: कितवाश्च कानने निरताः। कार्मुकयोगे जाता भाग्यविहीना वयोमध्ये॥२४॥ 24. CHAPA YOGA (KARMUKA YOGA): The native with Chapa yoga will be a liar, jailor, thief and will live in forests. He will not have wealth in the middle of his life. Notes : The results attributed for this yoga (otherwise called Karmuka yoga) in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (ch 35) are : the native will be a liar, will protect secrets, be a thief, be fond of wandering in forests, be devoid of luck but be happy in the middle of his life (शुभावयोमद्ये). Brihat Jataka (ch. 12, sloka 16) asserts that the native will be brave and will be happy in the beginning and end of his life (प्रथमान्त्य सौख्यः). Hora Ratna's sloka, though verbatim taken from Parasara, has a change at the end, reading भाग्यहीना वयोमद्ये only to fall in line with Varaha Mihira. Jataka Parijatha gives the effects tersely thus : fond of wandering in forests, be a theif and be blameworthy. The native will be highly honoured and will be able to use arrows etc. (i.e. weapons). The short and the long of the effects : the person with this yoga may turn out to be a dacoit, robber etc. using guns and such other weapons. Should malefics like Rahu, Saturn etc. be strong, this yoga will in all probability produce a person as above. सुभगा: सेनापतयः कान्तशरीरा नृपप्रिया बलिनः। मणिकनकभूषणयुता भवन्ति योगेऽर्धचन्द्राख्ये। २५॥

Chapter 21 221

25. ARDHA CHANDRA YOGA : One born with Ardha Chandra yoga will be fortunate, be an army chief, be brilliant bodied, dear to king and strong. He will possess gems, gold and ornaments. Notes : Vide Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, one with this yoga will be an army chief, will possess a splendorous body, be dear to king, be strong and be endowed with gems, gold and ornaments. According to Brihat Jataka, the person will be fortunate ("T), beautiful, be chief, dear to king and will enjoy pleasures. The native will earn fame through the king, be excellent a person, and will possess golden ornaments, as per Jataka- bharanam. This yoga wlll be superior if it starts from 2nd, 5th, 9th or 11th and the effects will be full. Should it start from 3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th, it will only be medium. The first kind may give plenty of wealth, fame etc. while the latter cannot give so much of these.

प्द्यन्तवयसि सुखिता: शूरा: सुभगा विरोगदेहाइच। भाग्यविहीना वज् जाता: स्वजनैर्विरुद्धाश्च॥ २६॥ 26. VAJRA YOGA : One born with Vajra yoga will be happy at the beginning and end of his life, bold, beautiful, free from sickness. unfortunate, and be inimical to his own people. Notes : T is interpreted here as beautiful, though it also means fortunate as the author has used भाग्यविहीना in the same breath, to denote misfortune. While almost a similar view is denoted in Brihal Parasara Hora Sastra in respect of the effects of this yoga, Brihat Jataka states that the native will be happy in the initial and concluding portions of life, be beautiful and valorous. Vide Jatakabhrana, the native will lack happiness in the middle of his life. He will be given to anger and be libidinous.

व्रतनियममङ्गलपरा वयसो मध्ये सुखार्थसंयुक्ताः। दातारः स्थिरवित्ता य योगभवाः सदा पुरुषाः ॥२७॥ 27, YAVA YOGA : One born with Yava yoga wil observe

222 Saravali

fasts and other religious rules, be intent on doing auspicious acts, be happy in the middle of life, be liberal and will have lasting wealth. Notes : One with Yava yoga will maintain fasting etc, be interested in doing auspicious acts, will be endowed with happiness, wealth and children in the middle of his life, be liberal, and be firm in disposition (vide Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra). This yoga is good for fame, enthusiasm, peace etc. as per Jatakabharana. But Vaidyanatha departs from these statements and asserts that the native will be happy in the end of his life, see Jataka Parijata, ch. 7, sloka 176.

स्फीयशसो गुराढ्या: स्थिरायुषो विपुलसम्पदः कान्ताः । शुभयशसः पृथिवीशा: कमलभवा मानवा नित्यम्॥ २८॥ 28. KAMALA YOGA : One born with Kamala yoga will be highly famous, very virtuous, assuredly longliving, very rich, very bright in appearance, and will be the lord of the earth. Notes : Parasara's version is also almost similar, vide Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, ch. 35, sloka 30 while Brihat Jataka tersely states that the native will be widely famous and will enjoy limitless happiness and virtues (ch. 12, sloka 14). According to Hora Makaranda, the native will be a king and be rich, see न पतिर्धनी.

VAPI YOGA: One born with Vapi yoga will be skil- ful in amassing wealtb, will enjoy lasting riches and happine s, be beautiful and will be endowed with happiness from sons. Notes : Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra adds that the native will have comforts of eyes (नयनसुख) (free from eye defects), and will be a king. Varaha Mihira declares that the native will have some but lasting happiness, will hide money underground etc. but not be charitable. Gunakara sees a miser in this yoga.

Chapter 21 223

Vide Jataka Parijatha, the native will hide money under- ground. As per Jatakabharanam, the native will be a scholar, be intelligent, valorous, long-living, be an ornament to the faimily, be endowed with all kinds of happiness, and will speak sweetly. "Since the 8th house is involved in this yoga, perhaps the scholars expect that the person will have a tendency of keeping secret his monetary possessions. He may not be out-spoken in such matters.

रोगार्ता: कुकलत्रा मूर्खाः शकटानुजीविनो निःस्वाः। स्वजनैमित्रर्होना: शकटे जाता भवन्ति नराः॥३०॥ 30 SAKATA YOGA : One born with Sakata yoga will be troubled by diseases, will have a bad wife, will be a dunce, will live by pulling carts, will be poor and be without relatives and friends.

Notes : Same results are found in Brihat Parasara Hora, with an addition that the native will have bad nails. Brihat Jataka (ch. 12, sloka 13) denotes that the native will have a bad wife. (As the 7th and Lagna are the only houscs for the planets to occupy, this yoga may throw heavy weight on the married life.) Since driving of vehicles is indicated, this may make one an ordinary driver of bullock cart, hackney, bus etc. if the chart is inherently weak. Should the natus be strong, the native may be a pilot of an air-plane. well paid railway driver etc. भ्रमणरुचयो निकृष्टा दूता: सुरतानुजीविनो धृष्टाः। कलहप्रियाश्च नित्यं विहगे योगे सदा जाताः ॥३१॥ 31. VIHAGA YOGA (PAKSHI YOGA) : The native with this yoga will be intent on wandering, will have mean habits, will be a messenger, will live through sexual dealings, shameless and fond of quarrels. Notes : Though means bold, it has been translated as shameless here to befit the context, This word also means be rude, insolent, presumptuous etc. According to Jatakabharana, the native will be deviod of happiness and pleasures, will wander fruitlessly, will always

224 Sar avali

live in distant places, and will speak much inspite of his having nothing.

सततं मानार्थपरा यज्वानः शास्त्रगेयकुशलाइच। धनकनकरत्नसम्पत्संयुक्ता मानवा गदायान्तु॥३२॥ 32. GADA YOGA : One born with this yoga, will always care for honour and money, will perform yagnas etc., will be expert in sastras and music, and will be endowed with money, gold, jewels and wealth. Notes : This is a favourable yoga for Mantras and such other achievements. The native will always devote his time to spin money by various means : In this yoga, all the planets from the Sun to Saturn should be disposed only in two angles from Lagna.

प्रियकलहसमरसाहस सुखिनो नृपतेः प्रियाः सुभगकान्ताः । आ्ाठ्या युवतिद्वष्याः शृङ्गाटकसंभवा मनुजाः ॥३३॥ 33. SRINGATAKA YOGA : One born with this yoga will be fond of quarrels, be a warrior, be happy, dear to king, will have a fortunate wife, be rich and will hate the fair sex. Notes. By virtue of all the 7 planets resorting to the ascendant and its tr!nes, this yoga forms a Grand Trine of the planets. Thus the other six planets will be blessed with the company or aspect of Jupiter. The ascendant and two trines will also be so. Hence this yoga will be greatly influenced by Jupiter and can reach the native to enviable heights. Saturn in the 5th or Lagna can cause some simultaneous blemish to marriage.

बह्वाशिनो दरिद्राः कृषीवला दुःखिताश्च सोद्वेगाः। बन्धुसुहृत्सन्त्यक्ताः प्रेष्या हलसंज्ञिते पुरुषाः ॥३४॥ 34. HALA YOGA : This native of this yoga will eat in plenty, will be indigent, will have agricultural profession, will be subjected to grief, be emotional, be forsaken by relatives and friends, and will be a servant. Notes : Though this yoga also requires the 7 planets to be mutually in trines, inasmuch as the ascendant is prohibited,

Chapter 21 225

the two trines will also be not in the picture. Hence this is not a superior yoga as against the Sringataka yoga. Thus opposite results will occur.

प्रणताशेषनराधिप किरीटरत्नप्रभाच्छुरितपादः। भवति नरेन्द्रो मनुजशचक्रे यो जायते योगे॥ ३५ ॥ 35. CHAKRA YOGA: One born in this yoga will be a king at whose feet will be the heads of the other prostrating kings adoring diamond-studded crowns. (That is, the sub- ordinate kings, wearing diamond-studded crowns will honour a Chakra yoga native who will be the chief of such kings.) Notes : This is a very superior Raja yoga for the reasons explained in the notes under sloka 16 of this chapter. Kalyana Varma explains this in a single phrase as in the words of sage Parasara while Varaha Mihira simply denotes an emperor. Jatakabharana states that this combination will make one good-looking, very valorous and rule over the entire earth.

बहुधनरत्ना: क्षितिपा भोगार्थयुता जनप्रियाश्चापि। उदधिसमुत्या: पुरुषाः स्थिरचित्ताः सत्त्ववन्तश्च ॥३६॥ 36. SAMUDRA YOGA : Should a person be born under this yoga, he will have abundant wealth and precious stones, will be a king, be endowed with pleasures. be dear to people, will have steady mind and be truthful in disposition ("Satwavanta"). Notes : This yoga is only next to Chakra yoga, in giving good effects. Three evil houses are involved in Samu- dra yoga and grade of effects will depend greatly on the occu- pants of 6th, 8th and 12th. The effects attributed by Jatakabharana are : The person will be charitable, courageous, virtuous, kind, will derive king's patronage and will make his family a fortunate one. The native's family will attain a supreme state with this yoga. Note a planet should be in the 2nd in aspect to another in the 8th. If Saturn is in the 12th while Jupiter is also in the 6th, the 2nd house will be influenced by both Saturn and Jupiter.

226 Saravali

Thus 4 planets helping the 2nd house can make one have a happy family. प्रत्मनि रक्षानिरतस्त्यागयुतो वित्तसौखयसम्पन्नः। व्रतनियमसत्यनिरतो यूपे जातो विशिष्टश्च ॥ ३७॥ 37. YUPA YOGA : The native with this yoga will have self-protection, be charitable, be endowed with riches and happiness, and will observe religious fastings and vows. He will be a distinguished person. Notes : Should this yoga be present in nativity, he will have spiritual knowledge, be interested in Sacrificail rites, be endowed with a wife, be strong, be interested in religious ob- servations and be distinguished. This is how Brihat Parasara Hora sastra describes Yupa yoga. Parasara uses the phrase आात्मविद् which has also been followed by Gunakara in his Hora Makaranda, see सुखवानात्मविद्गुरी. But Varaha Mihira uses आत्मवान् (vide BJ, ch. 12, sloka 15) which denotes "self- possessing" while Kalyana Varma entirely uses a different phrase: आत्मनिरक्षा. Most texts have either verbatim taken Parasara's slokas with some face-lift or give the short and the long of his slokas, while particularly dealing with Nabhasa yogas etc. as for example the present chapter. Hence, it secms nreHfaa (to have spiritual knowledge) is a better account of the phrase concerned. इषुकरणदस्युबन्धनमगयावनसेव ने तिसोन्मादाः हिस्रा: कुशिल्पनिरताः शरयोगे सम्प्रसूता: स्युः ॥३८॥ 38. SARA YOGA: The native with शरयोग will manufacture arrows ( arms etc. in 'modern context), will catch hold of thieves (for example, be a police officer), will livein forests to hunt animals, will be equal to a mad person, will torture, and be fond of mean handiworks. Notes : Vide Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, one with this yoga will make arrows, will head a jail, will gather money through animals, will eat meat, will indulge in torture and in mean handiworks. Thus this combination can indicate jailors, arm dealers, people working in arm factories, hunters, butchers, hangers etc,

Chapter 21 227

According io Manasagari, one will be miserable, will derive pleasures in forests, will have a wife equal to Rambha, (a celestial dame) but will be never happy. Jatakabkarana also adds that such a native will not have any happiness right from birth. Hence, it may be understood that this yoga will not contribute to native's happiness.

धनरहितत्िकलदुःखितनीचालसपेलवायुषः पुरुषाः। सङ्ग्रामयुद्धनिपुरणा: शक्त्यां जाता: स्थिरा: सुभगाः॥३६॥ 39. SAKTI YOGA : One born with this yoga will be devoid of wealth, deformed, subjected to grief, mean, lazy, short-lived, expert in war and be beautiful. Notes: Similar results are discussed in Brihat Parasara Hora sasthra also. हतपुत्रदा रनिःस्वाः सर्वजनैर्न्यककृता: स्वजनबाह्याः। दुःखितनीचा: प्रेष्या दण्डप्रभवा नराः सततम् ॥४०॥ 40. DANDA YOGA : The native with this yoga will lose his wife and sons, will be poor, discorded by all people, be out of the men of his circle, be grieved, mean and will be servant. Note : One born with this yoga will lead the life of servitude and be bereft of those dear to him (BJ, ch. 12) while according to Gunakara, the author of Hora Makaranda, he will be a servant, be fond of pleasures of the world (प्रवृत्ति प्रिय) and will be very miserly. The world safer also means progress or advancement and the person will make efforts to go forward in life as the houses involved in yoga are such: viz 10th (karma or profession), 11th (gains), and Lagna. However, he cannot make much advancement. He will be deviod of wisdom, vide Jatakabharana. On the whole this combination is not favourable for wife and children and will lead only to servitude rather than making one a head.

228 Saravali

41. MAALA YOGA : One born with माला योग will always be happy, be endowed with conveyances, robes, wealth and pleasures, splendorous and will have plurality of wives. Notes : This falls under दल योग (Dala yoga) and माला योग is formed when all the four angles are occupied by benefics, excluded by malefics. This is a very rare yoga. The present sloka is also verbatim taken by Kalyana Varma from Parasara. The only difference is e in our text which is found as Fa in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra. The practical approach remains the same in the whole context. Varaha Mihira denotes that such a native will enjoy all pleasures. Vaidyanatha follows the suit. The native will be endowed with friends, sons, beautiful ornaments, clothes, conveyances etc. He will be attached to the fair sex for enjoyment (vide Jatakabharanam). This yoga gives happiness and pleasures according to Hora Makaraada. विषमा: क्र रा निःस्वा नित्यं दुःखारदिता: सुदीनाश्च। परवेश्मभक्ष्यनिरताः सर्पे जाता भवन्ति नराः ॥४२॥ 42. SARPA YOGA: The native born under this yoga will be crooked in disposition, pitiless, always be a subject of grief, poor and will live in other's houses and eat their food. Notes : This is opposite to Maala yoga and is formed only by malefics in the four angles from the ascendant. This is the second Dala Yoga. The occupation of only malefics in all the 4 angles, according to Varaha Mihira is capable of causing abundant miseries to the native. The native will be devoid of wealth and be sorrowful, vide Hora Makaranda. Vide Jataka- bharana, the native with Sarpa yoga will eat other's food, be short-tempered, indigent, fond of sleeping, will have evil pride and will be akin to snake when he will have to help others, i.e. will be helpful to none. Should only malefics occupy the four angles the evil results attributed by the texts will come to pass. The native cannot make money in life, will be unhelpful to others but depend on them and be very miserable,

Chapter 21 229

अटनप्रिया: सुरूपाः परदेशेष्वर्थभागिनो मनुजाः। क्ररा: खलस्वभावा रज्जुप्रभवाः सदा कथिताः॥४३॥ 43. RAJJU YOGA : The subject with this yoga will be fond of wandering, attractive in appearance, will earn money in foreign countries, be cruel and mischievously disposed. Notes : Since all the planets are relegated to only mov- able Rasis, the native will always be on the move, i.e. will not live long in one place. He cannot make his livelihood in his native place but will eke out the same elsew here. मानधनज्ञानयुता: कर्मोद्युक्ता नृपप्रिया: ख्याताः। स्थिरचित्ता मुसलोत्था भवन्ति शूरा: सदा पुरुषाः ॥४४॥ 44. MUSALA YOGA : One born under this yoga will be endowed with honour, wealth and wisdom, be attached to his duty, be liked by king, be famous, steady-minded and bold. Notes : Out of the 3 yogas, viz Rajju, Musala and Nala, the present one (Musala) is good Raja yoga comparcd to the other two. As the seven planets will only be in fixed signs, the native will have his livehood in place, will be permanently in one place (i. e.) be free from changes of and on), and will retain anything earned on a lasting basis. ऊनातिरिक्तदेहा धनसंचयभागिनोऽतिनिपुराइच। बन्धुहिताइच सुरूपा नलयोगे सम्प्रसूयन्ते ॥ ४५॥ 45. NALA YOGA : One born with नल योग will have uneven physique (i.e. some limbs long and some short), will gather money, bc skilful, be helpful to his relatives, and be attra- ctive in appearance. Notes : In this yoga, all the four dual signs are involved and hence the native will have mixture of previous two yogas. Such natives may often marry more than once. If the Lagna is also a fixed sign, two marriages are sure to follow. दारिद्रयालस्ययुता विद्यासमानवजिता मलिनाः । नित्यं दुःखितदीना गोले योगे भवन्ति नराः॥४६॥ 46. GOLA YOGA : One born in this yoga will be indi- gent, indolent, devoid of learnig and honour, dirty, and always grieved.

230 Saravali

पाषण्डभागिनो वा धनरहिता वा बहिष्कृता लोके। सुतमानधर्मरहिता युगयोगे मानवा जाताः॥४६। 47. YUGA YOGA : One born with this yoga will be a religious hypocrite, be bereft of wealth, forsaken by people, and devoid of sons, honour and virtues. तीक्ष्णालसधनरहिता हिस्रा: सुबहिष्कृता महाशूराः। सङ़ ग्रामलब्धशब्दा: शूले रौद्राः प्रजायन्ते ॥४८॥ SULA YOGA: The native with शूल योग will be harsh, indolent, poor, torturous, become a prohibited person, bold, successful in war and fearful. Note : The word तीक्ष्म has been translated as "rash" to befit the context, though it also means : sharp, hot, passionate, intelligent, strict, hard etc. सुबहूनामुपयोज्या: कृषीवलाः सत्यवादिनः सुखिताः। केदारे सम्भूताश्चलस्वभावा धनर्युक्ताः।.४६।। 49. KEDARA YOGA : One born under this yoga will be useful to many, will have agricultural profession, be truthfully disposed, fickleminded and wealthy. पाशे बन्धनभाजः कार्योद्युक्ता: प्रपञचकाराश्च। बहुभाषिरो विशोला बहुभृत्याः सम्प्रसूता: स्युः ॥५०॥ 50. PASA YOGA: One born with पाशयोग will be bonded, be attached to work, worldly in disposition, will talk too much, will not have good qualities and will have many servants. दामिन्यामुपकारी पशुगणयुक्तो धनेश्वरो मूढः। बहुसुतरत्नसमृद्धो धीरो विद्वान् प्रजातः स्यात् ॥ ५१॥ 51. DAMINI YOGA : One born with this yoga will be helpfull, will have cattle, be lord of money, be foolish, will have many sons and jewels, be bold and learned. मित्रान्विता: सुवचसः शास्त्रपरा गेयवाद्यनिरताश्च। सुखभाजो बहुभृत्या वीरायां कीतिता मनुजा: ॥ ५२ ॥ 52. VEENA YOGA: One born with this combination will have friends, be eloquent. interested in sastras, musicial instruments and singing. He will be happy; will have many servants and be famous. इति कल्याणवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां नाभसयोगो नामैकर्विशोऽध्याय ॥२१॥ Thus ends the 21st chapter, entitled "Nabhasa yogas" in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

The effects of the planets and the zodiacal signs accrue to all and at all times. I now attempt to expiain these according to the teachings of the rest of the preceptors. शास्त्रार्थकृतिकलाभिः ख्यातो युद्धप्रियः प्रचण्डश्च। उदुक्तो भ्रमररुचिट्टढास्थिबन्धः क्रिये श्रेष्ठः ॥ २ ॥।। साहसकर्माभिरतः वित्तासृग्व्याधिकान्तिसत्त्वयुतः । सूर्ये भवति नरेन्द्रः स्वतुङ्गराशौ नरो जातः ॥३॥ 2-3. THE SUN IN ARIES : One who has the Sun in Aries will comment on the meanings of Sastras, be famous in arts, fond of war, fierce, attached to his duty, fond of roaming, will have strong bones, be good in deeds, will do valorous acts, will be subjected to bilious and bloody disorders, be splend- orous and strong. The native will also become a king. Notes : If the Sun is in Aries at birth the native will be able to receive help from great men. He will be endowed with abundant wisdom. The exaltaticn of the Sun gives proneness to frequent wanderings. The word "Narendra" in the text, though translated as "king" keeping in view the tradition. it additionally means "curer of poisons". The Sun in Aries may denote able doctors, poison-curing physicians etc. To lend boost to monetary aspect, the Sun in Aries be better assisted by friendly planets. This position is a good augury for political aspirations. Jataka Jambunadeeyam adds that the Sun in Aries indentical with ascendant gives wealth. Coming to practical analytical aspect, the Sun in Aries is not the same for all the 12 ascendants. He, for that matter- any planet. gives different effects, though it be in the same Rasi, for the various ascendants. Hence, an account of the effects with reference to the 12 ascendants is necessary to be known.

232 Saravali

With Aries rising, the Sun in Aries causes Raja yoga; the native achieves name and fame among the men of his race. Should Taurus rise with Sun in Aries, the native will be engaged in good deeds and spends heavily. For a Gemini nalive, the Sun in the 11th in Aries, makes him rich through brothers and bestows status in Sun's dasa. If the Sun is in Aries for a Cancer birth, the subject will earn huge wealth and enjoy very high (political etc.) position. Should a Leo native have the Sun in Aries, he will enjoy conveyances, power, wealth etc. and will get good effects throughout Sun dasa. A Virgo native, who has the Sun in Aries, may not get good results in Sun's dasa if he is conjunct with others than Mars or Saturn. He will however spend away his money on good account. Should the Sun be in the 7th in Aries for a Libra native, he will enjoy a superior Raja yoga through his wife, partnership etc. The wife may be from a very affluent race. Should a Scorpio native have the Sun in Aries, he will lose the whole of paternal property and face adverse results in the Sun's period and will experience debacles throughout life. He may also face loss of children. Should Sagittarius ascend at birth with the Sun in the 5th in Aries, the native will acquire great inheritance from father and will reach high position with conveyances. A Capricorn native with the Sun in Aries does not enjoy mnch of maternal happiness but a greater longevity. He is also prone to heart diseases. One who takes birth in Aquarius while the Sun occupies Aries, will acquire a worthy, chaste and forutnate wife while a native of Pisces (with the Sun in 2nd) cannot retain any money even if he would earn a lot. He will be subjected to physical deficiencies and diseases.

SUN IN A SIGN OF MARS IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : Should the Sun be in a sign of Mars (i. e. either in Aries or in Scorpio) and be aspected by the Moon, the native will be interested in giving away gifts, will have many servants, be charming, be dear to fair sex, and will have a soft physique. If the said Sun is aspected by Mars, he will display his courage in battle, be cruel, will possess eyes, hands and legs of blood- red colour, be splendorous and strong. If the planet aspecting is Mercury, the subject will be a servant, will do others' jobs, will not have much wealth, be devoid of strength, be subjected to much grief and will prossess a dirty body. Jupiter aspecting the said Sun denotes that the native will have plenty of money, will donate, be a king's minister, a judge and a supreme person. If Venus aspects the Sun posited in a house of Mars, the native will be the husband of a bad women, will have many enemies but few relatives (or not well-placed relatives), be poor and will suffer from leprosy. In case Satura aspects the Sun in the said condition, the native will be subjected to grief on account of physical ailments, will have intense passion in his undertaking, be dull-witted and a dunce.

Notes : According to Hora Ratna, the combinations mentioned in this chapter and those up to ch. 29 hereof are as per Satyacharya. Hence it seems to us, the word farrarfa in sloka I of this chapter may be a misprint that occurred possibly in th course of communication to us and the author Kalyana Varma might have used the word सत्याचार्यान in his original writing. Balabhadra was a later author, who adopted all these sloka verbatim in Hora Ratna acknowledging Saravali. And during his time (i. e. 1654 A.D.), he might have got the correct text.

10-11. SUN IN TAURUS : The position of the Sun in the sign Taurus indicates that the native will have troubles from disease of face and eyes, will endure difficulties, will have an emaciated body, will not have many sons, will be beautiful ("oy also means fortunate, nice, handsom etc. ), will possess decorum, be wise, will hate barLen (or confined) women, be endowed with eatables, garlands, robes and scents, will have knowledge of singing, playing musical instruments and dancing and will face risk from water;

Notes : An Aries naitve with the Sun in Taurus cannot make much money. He will also spend away his earnings. Should the Sun be in Taurus idnetical with "ascendant, the native will look very beautiful, be endowed with the quality of Satva and will suffer from urinary diseases. For a Gemini native, the Sun in Taurus will give troubles from enemies, litigations and loans and expenditure on vices and through evil association. If a Cancer birth has the Sun in the 11th in Taurus, the native will gain abundantly through wife and females and will experience good results in Sun's dasa. If a Leo Lagna native has the Sun in the 10th in Taurus, he will acquire rich conveyances and authoritative positions. The Sun in the 9th in Taurus for a Virgo birth is evil for children and can show a great miser. Should a Libra native have this planet in 8th in Taurus, he will frequently be in monetary troubles. One who has the Sun in 7th in Taurus (i.c. birth in Scorpio) will face obstacles in the celebration of marriage and will acquire a sickly wife. He will acquire gains through marriage. If the Sun is in the 6th for a Sagittarius birth, the native will have problems of litigations and debts. A Capricorn native with Sun in 5th will be longlived but will experience - obstacles about children. The Sun in 4th for Aquarius births will give gains through marriage and high learning. Should a

Chapter 22 235

Pisces native have the Sun in the 3rd in Taurus, he will suffer from diseases of the ear, may lose co-born and will enter into litigations with brothers for paternal property. वेश्यारतिमृ टुवचा बहुयुवतिसमाश्रयो भवति। दिननाथेसितभवने दृष्टे शशिना सलिलजीवी ॥ १२॥ शरः सङ्ग्रामरुचिस्तेजस्वी साहसाप्तधनकीतिः। दिननाथे सितभवने कुजसंदृष्टे पुमान् विकलः ॥१३॥ लि पिलेख्य काव्यपुस्तकगेया दिविधावतीव निपुणमतिः। दिननाथे सितभवने बुघसंदृष्टे भवेत् सुतनुः ॥१४॥ बहुशत्रुमित्रपक्षो नृपसचिवश्चारुलोचनः कान्तः। दिननाथे सितभवने गुरुरगा दृष्टे सुतोषितो नृपतिः ॥१५॥ नृपतिनृपमन्त्री वा स्त्रीधनबहुभोगसंयुतो मतिमान्। दिननाथे सितभवने सितसंदृष्टे भवेद्गीरुः ॥ १६ ॥ नीलोऽलसो दरिद्रो वृद्धस्त्रीसंगतो विषमशीलः। दिननाथे सितभवने शनिदृष्टे व्याधिसन्तप्तः॥१७॥

12-17. SUN IN A SIGN OF VENUS IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : One who has the Sun in a Rasi of Venus aspected by the Moon will be addicted to prostitutes, will be soft- spoken, will have many women as dependents, and will derive livelihood through water. If the planet aspecting is Mars, the said Sun denotes that the subject will be brave, fond of battle, bright in appearance, will earn wealth and fame out of his valour, and will be deformed. Should it be Mercury that aspects the said Sun, one will be skilful in drawing, writing, poetry, authorship, singing etc. and will possess a good physique. If Jupiter should lend his aspect to the Sun in Libra or Taurus, the subject will have many foes and friends, be a king's minister, will have beautiful eyes, be splendorous, and will be a pleased ruler. When the aspect is from Venus to the said Sun, one will be a king or a king's minister, be endowed with wife, wealth and pleasure galore, be wise and timid. Saturn aspecting the Sun in fall or in Taurus denotes that the native will be mean, indolent, will cohabit with aged women, will be wicked and will be troubled by diseases.

SUN IN GEMINI : One who has the Sun in Gemini will be a scholar, will be sweet in speech, affectionate (parti- cularly to one's offspring), will have good conduct, will be expert in profane knowledge (derived from worldly experience which is opposite 5T1F i.e. knowledge of Brahman or Supreme Spirit), and also in Sastras, be exceedingly affluent, liberal, skilful, be an astrologer, be mediocre in appearance, will have two mothers, be fortunate and modest. Notes : If Gemini ascends along with the Sun, the native will suffer from lasting sickness and will have difficulties from enemies and debts. Should the Sun be in the 12th in Gemini for a Cancer birth, the person will be subjected to child mor- tality if the Sun's dasa occurs at birth. He cannot retain paternal property and will bo spoiled by evil friendship, if malefics assist the Sun. In the case of a birth in Leo ascend- ant, the Sun in Gemini gives a fortunate father and excellent results in his Dasa. If Virgo ascends at birth with the Sun in the 10th in Gemini, the subject will visit shrines. A Libra native with the Sun in 9th in Gemini will obtain fortunes. One of Scorpio with this planet in 8th in Gemini will have short life. The Sun in 7th for a Sagittarius birth will bestow a chaste wife and good effects in his Dasa. Though there will be litigations for a Capricorn native with the Sun in 6th, ultimate success will be his. An Aquarian with the Sun in the 5th in Gemini will have only one issue-a son. One born in Pisces with the Sun in 4th will have limited effects regarding lands, education etc. Should Aries be the ascendant, the Sun in the 3rd in Gemini will make him valorous.

The Sun in a house of Mercury and in aspect to Mars denotes that the subject will have fear from enemies, will be encountered by quarrels, will be grieved on account of loss in war, be poor, and bashful. Should Mercury aspect the Sun posited in Gemini or Virgo, the subject will have a history akin to that of a king. will be famous, be endowed with relatives, free from enemies but will encounter eye diseases. Jupiter aspecting the Sun in a sign of Mercury foretells that the native will have knowledge of many Sastras, be a king's messenger (or representative), will go to foreign countries, be fierce and be always bewildered. If Venus aspects the Sun, posited as above, the native will be endowed with money, wife and sons, will make less friends, be free from sick- ness, be happy, and fickle minded.

Chapter 23 251 --

1. THE MOON IN ARIES : Should the Moon be in . - Aries, the native will have a golden coloured body, will be endowed with lasting wealth, be devoid of co-born, be valorous, self-respected, auspicious, prosperous, libidinous, will have weak legs, ugly nails and little hair, be fickle-minded, will consider honour as wealth, will possess hands and legs like the lotus, (i.e. these will be lotus-red), will have more sons, round eyes, be friendly, be afraid of getting into watery places (like river, well etc.), will have wounds on the head and be won over by females.

Notes : Should the Moon be in Aries at birth, the limbs of the body will be red as Mars is red like blood. If she is related to Mars, the native can have famous brothers. There will be wounds on the body/head as Mars indicates wounds. The native will be prone to accidents from water, like drown- ing. He will seek sexual pleasures from many women.

If the Moon is in Aries identical with ascendant she causes Raja yoga. (According to Jambunadeeyam, ch. 1, rule 46, the Moon though weak is good in Aries/Cancer identical with ascendant. She gives wealth, virtues, quadrupeds etc.) If it is weak Moon, the person will not be outspoken and will earn wealth through bad means. If it is full Moon, the person acquires physical strength, beauty and good qualities. This is a very good position for lasting wealth. Should the Moon be in the 2nd house indentical with Aries, i.e. the ascendant being Pisecs, the native will enjoy Raja Yoga, par excellance, as she is the 5th lord. The native will have more daughters if it is full Moon and will lose children if it is weak Moon. If Aquarius rises at birth while increasing Moon is in Aries, the native will have many younger sisters. Even if it is decreasing Moon, her dasa will give good effects but loss of co-born. If Capri- corn be the ascendant with the increasing Moon in the 4th, the native will enjoy abundant lands, learning, conveyances, mater- nal happiness etc. If the Moon is weak, these will be in a lesser degree and the native will keep his wife's mother to be maintained in his house. Should Sagittarius rise, while the Full Moon is in the 5th, the native will aquire one son (as she is the lord of the 8th) who will become very famous and if it

252 Saravali

is decreasing Moon, the native will beget issues with great difficulty, For Scorpio ascendant, the Full Moon in the 5th is capable of removing debts, diseases, enemies etc. and if weak, then, these are quite limited, instead of being nil. If Libra rise at birth with Full Moon in the 7th, the native will enjoy paternal bliss, paternal wealth etc. acquire a beautiful wife, but be occasionally subjected to physical distress. If it be weak Moon, the native will not be happy from the view- point of marriage. Even though the Moon may be Full and be in Aries for a Virgo native, it causes infant mortality if Moon's dasa occurs at birth; if it be weak Moon, it may with- out ffail cause death in its dasa coinciding with childhood. Should Leo rise at birth with Full Moon in Aries in the 9th, the native will be very fortunate and will enjoy paternal wealth. and his co-born will be greatly benefited; if it is weak Moon, the native will seek union with females equal to mother. If Cancer ascends with Fnll Moon in the 10th in Aries, the native will lead over monetary transactions and will enjoy rich posi- tion, conveyances etc. and with a weak Moon, the person will lose his parents early. For a Gemin native, the Full Moon in the 11th will supply money uninterruptedly and will give more daughters; if she be weak, the native will not financially prosper. if one born in Taurus has Full Moon in the 12th in Aries, he will spend away all his wealth on charitable acts, and will be free from diseases etc. if it be weak Moon, he will contract various kinds of venereal diseases and will be immoral.

THE MOON IN ARIES IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon is in Aries at birth, and be in aspect to the Sun, the native will he quite irascible, be honoured by the king, be soft, be valorous, and fond of war. If the Moon in Aries is aspected by Mars, the person will suffer from diseases of eyes and teeth, will have wounds caused by arrows (or horse/cow etc.) and will suffer windy diseases and urinary disorders. Should Mercury aspect the Moon in Aries, the native will teach various disciplines, will possess good speech, will achieve his desires, be a great poet and be widely famous. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in Aries, the person will be endowed with servants and abundant riches, and be a king or a king's minister Venus aspecting the Moon in Aries denotes that the subject will be lucky, be endowed with sons and wealtb, will own (i.e. marry) a supreme lady and costly ornaments and will not eat much. The Moon in Aries aspected by Saturn indicates that the native will be jealous, miserable to a great extent, be very poor, dirty and untruthful. Notes : The effects of the aspects of other planets on the Moon in Aries (or in any other Rasi) will depend on the rulership of the aspecting planet. For example, if Taurus rises with Moon in the 12th and is aspected by Saturn, the native will not be poor but instead he will be rich. Conver- sely if Jupiter aspects the said Moon for a Taurus ascendant, the native will not be very rich, but only rich in the ordinary sense. These results thus differ according to the lordship of aspecting planet concerned. व्यूढोरस्कोडतिदाता धनकुटिलकच: कामुक: कीतिशाली कान्तः कन्याप्रजावान् वृषसमनयनो हंसलीलाप्रचार:। मध्यान्ते भोगभागी पृथुकटिचरणस्कन्धजान्वास्यजङ्ग: साङ्क: पाश्वास्यपृष्ठ काकुदि शुभगतिः क्षान्तियुक्तो गवीन्दौ ॥।८।

8. THE MOON IN TAURUS : If the Moon be in Taurus at birth, the native will be large-hearted, highly charitable, short-haired, libidinous, famous, brilliant, will have (more) daughters, will possess eyes resembling that of a bull, be in a position to differentiate between good and bad, be happy dur- ing middle and concluding parts of his life, will have strong waist, feet, shoulders, face etc., will have (some) identity on the side and back of the body, will walk beautifully and be endowed with forbearance.

Notes : This is the exaltation Rasi for the Moon and hence she will normally give good results. If she is Full and in good bhavas, benefic effects are sure to follow. If she is decreasing, then the results are proportionately less. See the following to know as to how she will act remaining in Taurus for various ascendants :

If Full Moon is in Taurus ascendant, it shc ws birth in affluent and noble family. This will make the native a famo us personage. On the contrary if she is with diminishing ra ys and is in Taurus ascendant, the native will suffer from rheumatic diseases, cough, TB etc. and will have curtailed longevity. If she is Full and in the 2nd house identical with Taurus, i.e. for Aries ascendant, the native will enjoy Raja Yoga in Moon's dasa and will have abundant wealth but be subjected to sick- ness ; if it is weak Moon, monetary gains are limited and diseases will be more. For Pisces ascendant, the Moon, if Full, in Taurus, will give famous children, wealth etc. If she is weak in the 3rd, a Pisces native will be subjected to throat disorders and will suffer lack of progeny. If an Aqua- rian has the Full Moon in Taurus, he will have fame but will have pressure of debts and diseases and cannot enjoy much wealth; if it is weak Moon, there will be no maternal happiness at all while learning, property etc. will be quite meagre. For a Capricorn native, the Moon in Taurus, if Full, will confer early and happy marriage; if she is weak, the native will have strained marital relationship and will seek pleasures out of marital bonds. In the case of birth in Sagittarius, the Moon in Taurus, if Full, will give medium longevity but will give

Chapter 23 255

some pressure on the front of diseases, debts etc. and if be weak, the longevity is quite curtailed and adverse effects will be in full. For Scorpio ascendant, the Full Moon in the 7th will give a beautiful and chaste wife, property from women and also political fame and wisdom ; if she be weak, marriage is almost in a pipedream and if at all it takes place, it will not prove happy. If Rahu/Ketu/Saturn give company to weak Moon in the 7th for a Scorpio native, the wife may develop illicit relatinoship with other men and may even elope from the house. If Libra be the ascendant with Full Moon in the 8th, the native will enjoy fair longevity, good position (with some downfall), but will not retain his earnings; if it is week Moon, the native will face umpteen obstacles in his career and may be shortlived while money will be very scarce with him. Should Virgo rise at birth having full Moon in the 9th in Taurus, the native will add to his paternal property and have all his own desires fulfilled while weak Moon will sometime or other cause debacles in money matters. For a Leo native, Full Moon in the 10th in Taurus will bestow good conduct, property, posi- tion etc. but cannot reach the native to heights unless well- aspected by Mars, while weak Moon will give many hindran- ces in career and show heavy expenses. If Cancer be the ascen- dent with Full Moon in Taurus, the native is born in wealthy family, enjoys all paraphernalia and is never short of anything in life; if the Moon be weak, the native will have to struggle hard to come up in life. Lastly if Gemini ascend at birth, the Full Moon in the 12th in Taurus is less problamatic while a weak Moon is a headload.

THE MOON IN TAURUS IN ASPECT TO OTHERS: Should the Moon be in Taurus, and be in aspect to the Sun, the native will be a farmer, be very industrious, be very rich with servants and quadrupeds, and will lend money on usury. If Mars aspects the Moon in Taurus, the subject will be highly libidinous, will lose his wife and friends on account of another lady, will steal the heart of the fair sex, and will prove adverse for the mother. Should the said Moon be in aspect to Mercury, the native will be highly learned, will know the code of speech, be of pleasing disposition, be dear to everyone, and will uncomparably be of good qualities. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in Taurus, the native will have long- living wife and children and lasting wealth, be respectfully disposed to his parents, be virtuous and very famous. Should Venus aspect the Moon in Taurus, one will be endowed with ornaments, conveyances and houses, and will possess comforts of sleeping and sitting (i.e, will possess luxuries of bed and sitting paraphernalia), scents, robes, garlands etc If it is Saturn that aspects the Moon in Taurus, one will be devoid of wealth, be inauspicious for mother and wife and will be endowed with sons, friends and relatives. Notes : The Moon in Taurus (or Libra) is a favourable position for money lenders. If she is aspected by the Sun (or Jupiter) the nalive will have money-lending as profession. This is very favourable for career in banks, financial institu- tions etc. Mars aspecting her in Taurus, makes the person very sensuous and he is sure to be of questionable character. When Mercury aspects the Moon in Taurus, such

Chapter 23 257

natives will do well to pursue some independent profession, trade etc. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in Taurus, one will have a well-settled family life. Venus aspecting the exalted Moon indicates that the native can command anybody and will earn respect from anyone. If Saturn aspects the Moon, according to our experience, the native will reasonably be rich. I do not know why the author indicates poverty in this context except for the baneful lordship (9th house) of Saturn. Saturn aspecting the Moon in Taurus, can however throw some financial ups and downs, depending on the rising degree. This aspect can give a long life to the native, but may affect mother's longevity in general.

पूर्वोधें सम्भूतो जननीमृत्युं करोति न चिरेण। पश्चादधें वृषभे पितुर्वियोगं शशी कुरुते ॥१५॥

15. AFFLICTION TO PARENTS : Should the Moon be in the first half of Taurus, the mother of the native is not long- lived. Similarly, the father is short-lived if the Moon occu- pies the second half of Taurus.

Notes: This rule should not be verbatim applied. If the Moon is in the first 15 degrees of Taurus and the 4th lord and Venus are simultaneously afflicted, then the mother's longevity may be at stake. Similarly, the Moon in the 2nd half of Taurus, while the Sun/Saturn and the 9th lord are heavily blemished, longevity of the father may be at stake. Alternatively, if the Moon occupies the 8th house in the first second half of Taurus, mother/father are respectively affected.

उन्नास-श्यामचक्षु: सुरतविधिकलाकाव्यकृड्ोगभोगी हस्ते मत्स्याधिपाङ्गो विषयासुखरतो बुद्धिदक्षः सिरालः । कान्तः सौभाग्यहास्यप्रियवचनयुतः स्त्रीजितो व्यायताङ्गो याति क्लीवैश्च सख्यं शशिनि मिथुनगे मातृयुग्मप्रपुष्टः ॥१६। 16. THE MOON IN GEMINI : If the Moon is in Gemini at birth, one will have prominent nose and dark eyes, will be skilful in the art of love, poetry etc., will enjoy sexual pleasures,

258 Saravali

will have lines of fish in the palm, will be fond of worldly enjoyments, will be sinewy, be very intelligent, splendorous, be endowed with happiness, jocular disposition and elqouent speech, be won over by females, will have a long body, will be- friend neuters and will have two mothers.

Notes : The Moon in Gemini ascending, at birth, gives the qualities of Mercury to the native in general. He will have a prominent nose, which makes him look beautiful. As Mercury is a eunuch, the native will make friendship with neuters. He will enjoy sexual pleasures with barren females. He will be attached more to worldly pleasures rather than the Supreme Spirit. People born under this sign may be gifted speakers and if the Sun occupies the 10th, political aspirations can be noted to one's advantage. The Moon remaining in Gemini acts differently for different ascendants as under :

Aries ascendant : The Moon in Gemini gives expendi- ture galore and the native's mother may face separation from his father. If the Moon is with diminishing rays, this is more certain Taurus ascendant : With the Moon in the 2nd in Gemini the native will have significant savings and will live long if she is Full. If she is decreasing, the co-born will suffer from mental diseases and lack of intelligence. The native will be rough in speech. Cancer ascendant : The Moon in the 12th if full will keep the native free from diseases and if waning causes diseases from childhood till the end. Such waning Moon will be an impediment in the overall growth of the native. Leo ascendant : With Full Moon, the native will acquire wealth through fair means and with waning Moon, the native will have frequent losses and will lack ability to satisfy his female in coition Virgo ascendant : The Full Moon in Gemini is capable of conferring high position and good income in the fields of publication, communication, radio/television etc. The native can amass wealth in Moon's dasa. If she be waning, the native will resort to illegal profession, will have mean conduct, be subjected to vices and will lead a miserable life. Libra ascendant : If Full Moon is in Gemini, the person will undertake to visit Ganges, shrines etc. and will acquire

Chapter 23 259

paternal wealth. If it is declining Moon, there will be fre- quent misunderstandings with father, cousins etc. Scorpio ascendant : Even the Full Moon In Gemini cannot make any satisfactory contribution to longevity, not to speak of declining Moon. If the full Moon is helped by Jupiter/Saturn, then a fair longevity can be expected. Weak Moon in the 8th in Gemini is an insurmountable menace to the prosperity of the native. Sagittarius ascendant : The Moon in Gemini will give a cunning and belligerent wife, though beautiful. Marriage is consummated with great difficulty. If she is weak and is particularly with the Sun, then the spouse lives only for a short period. Capricorn ascendant : The Moon in Gemini, if full, can reduce the scope of diseases to be suffered by the wife while declining Moon almost gives a perennially sick wife. Gemini Moon for this ascendant will cause diseases of private parts both for the male and his female. Aquarius ascendant : The Moon in Gemini does not promote the descent of the race and the native will not be able to fulfil his aims at any period of his life. If she is full, some redemption can be expected. Pisces ascendant : Progeny is delayed while birth of a male issue is doubted unless Jupiter is strong. The eldest issue will be doubtlessly a female. The results so far stated will depend on the state of the planet Mercury also.

17-22. THE MOON IN GEMINI IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon is in Gemini at birth and is aspected by the Sun, the native will be quite learned, be splendorous, very beautiful, be charitable, be very miserable and be not rich. If Mars lends aspect to the Moon in Gemini, the person will be very valorous, very learned, be endowed with happiness, conveyances, wealth and beauty. This is certain. The Moon in Gemini aspected by Mercury makes one skilful in producing money, always successful and inviolable king. If Jupiter aspects the Moon Gemini, one will be a teacher of sastras, be famous, truthful, very beautiful, honourable and be an elqount speaker. If Venus aspects the Moon in Gemini, the person will be endowed with the company of supreme females, garlands, robes, conveyances, ornaments and jewels, and will be sportive. Should Saturn aspect the Moon in Gemini, the subject will be devoid of relatives, wife, happiness and wealth, and will be inimical to the public.

Notes: Kalyana Varma states that when the Moon in Gemini is aspected by the Sun, the native will not be rich. It may be more aptly applicable when one of these two happens to be in evil houses from the ascendant or be an evil lord from the ascendant. Should they be in good house, shortage of money may not exist. If the Moon in Gemini is aspacted by Mercury, the native may pursuc his own profession, busi- ness etc. and will gain abundantly. The sign Gemini itself is a sign of wisdom, intelligence etc. and if the Moon posited therein is aspected by Jupiter, he will achieve great name in sastras, literatures, teachings etc. For Aries ascendant, this aspect will confer a mellifluous voice on the native and he may become a famous singer. The aspect of Venus to the Moon produces great riches while Saturn'a aspects is adverse for wealth. युक्तः सौभाग्यपैर्येगृ हसु हृदटनज्योतिषज्ञानशील: कामासक्तः कृतज्ञः क्षितिपतिसचिवः सत्यववता प्रवासी।

23. THE MOON IN CANCER : If the Moon is in Cancer at birth, the native will be fortunate, valorous, be endowed with residence, friends, journeys and astrological knowledge, be sensuous, grateful, be a minister, be truthful, will live abroad, be passionate, hairy bodied, fond of water and flowers, interested in construction of houses, wells etc. and will have a prominent neck.

Notes : Even though the Moon may be weak, if she is in Cancer ascendant, the person will enjoy fair longevity Jambunadeeyam Ch. 1, rule 46) If she joins Jupiter in Cancer the native rules Kashmir according to classic texts, see Karkas- thita devaguro sachandro kashmira desam raja bhavati. In the modern context, if the native becomes a minister or a signifi- cant person the effects be deemed fulfilled. If Saturn aspects the Moon in Cancer, a female will have long bunch of hair. Saturn aspecting Moon in Cancer may cause occasional ups and downs in one's career. The Moon in Cancer is generally a good position for occult studies. Now see the different effects given by the Moon remaining in Cancer for the 12 ascendants : Aries ascendant : Strong Moon in Cancer is capable of conferring position with distinct identity, happiness, learn- ing etc. while weak Moon causes defects of the heart. Taurus ascendant : An afflicted Moon causes long-lasting infection, colds etc., while a strong Moon brings fame through music, gives paternal property, luck etc. and makes the native highly intelligent. Gemini ascendant : If Mars joins the Moon in Cancer, it can bring death in childhood and if Mars dasa or Moon's dasa coincides with childhood, it is all the more certain. Full Moon contributes to lasting wealth. Cancer ascendant : If the Moon is full, the native will rise high in life and lives without obstacles. Weak Moon causes occasional downfall and eye diseases, blood disorders etc. Leo ascendant : With weak Moon, the native joins bad people while with Full Moon

262 Saravali

he will be free from diseases, unnecessary expenses etc. and will respect other women. Virgo ascendant : The native with strong Moon will have only sisters born prior to him, will gain through good deeds and will obtain only female issues ; if Saturn joins the full Moon in the 11th the native will beget twins. If the Moon is weak at birth, the native will not beget children and will resort to bad means to earn money. Libra ascendant : If the Moon is along with the Sun, in Sun's dasa, the native will make gains while his Moon's dasa will give moderate results. Scorpio ascendant : Should the Moon and the Sun join in Cancer, the native will enjoy enviable position in life and will have all paraphernalia at his beck and call. Should Mars join the Moon he will have defective limbs. Sagittarius ascendant : Unless the Moon is Full, she cannot make any worthy contribution to longevity. Death by drown- ing is indicated. Capricorn ascendant : Full Moon in 7th will confer bride from known circles and in the native place of the person. Weak Moon will make the native remain at loggerheads with others. Aquarius ascendant: Weak Moon makes the native seek sexual pleasures in illegal ways and contract various venereal diseases. Full Moon proves a powerful antidote against enemies. Pisces ascendant : The person will enjoy good luck, intelligence, honour, position and female issues. नरपतिपुरुषमधन्यं धनरहितं लेरहारकं वाडपि। कुरुते स्वगृहे चन्द्रो रविदृष्टो दुर्गपालं च॥२४॥ शूरं विकलशरीरं मातुरनर्थावहं क्रियादक्षम्। क्षितितनयवीक्षिततनुर्जनयति चन्द्रो नरं स्वगृहे॥२५॥ अरविकलमति नयज्ञं जनयति बुधवीक्षितः शशी स्वगृहे। धनदारपुत्रवन्तं नृपसचिवं सौख्यवन्तं च ॥२६॥ नृ्पतत नृषगुणयुक्तं जनयति चन्द्रः सुरेज्यसंदृष्टः। स्वगृहे सुखितसुभायं नयविनयपराकमाक्रान्तम् ॥२७॥ धनकनकवस्त्रयोषिद्रत्नानां भाजनं शशी कुरुते। कर्कटके सितदृष्टो वेश्याजननायकं कान्तम् ॥२८॥

THE MOON IN CANCER IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : Should the Moon be in her house at birth and be aspected by the Sun, the native will be in the employ of king, be not rich, be a letter-bearer and will protect forts (i.e will be a security officer in royal service). If the Moon in Cancer is aspected by Mars, the subject will be valorous, be deformed, will prove ominous to his mother and be skilful in his jobs. Should Mercury lend his aspect to the Moon in Cancer, he will be spirited in disposition, be endowed with political wisdom, wealth, wife and sons, will be a king's minister and be happy. Jupiter aspecting the Moon in her own house indicates that the person will be a king, be endowed with royal qualities, be happy, will have a good wife, will behave well, be modest and valorous. If Venus aspects the Moon in Cancer, the subject will be endowed with money, gold, wife, robes and jewels, be head of prostitutes and be splendorous. Should Saturn aspect the Cancer-posited Moon. he will be of wandering disposition, be miserable, very poor, be a liar, a sinner and be mean. Notes : The Moon in Cancer in aspect to the Sua is an ideal position for national Ambassadors, employment in Defence units etc. The native may suffer occasional debacles in Defence units etc. The native may suffer occasional deba- cles in monetary affairs, If Mars aspects the Moon in Cancer. the native may lose his mother early, particularly if the aspect is from Capricorn, where Mars acquires great strength. Mer- cury's aspect over the Cancer-Moon is favourable for political success while the spouse may face nervous breakdown, rheu- matic disorders etc. Jupiter aspecting the said Moon, except from Capricorn, confers very great wealth, fame, name etc. on the native while the aspect of Jupiter from Capricorn may give limited results if the Moon has not significant pakshabala. Venus lending aspect to the Moon in Cancer will give associa- tion with whores and money in questionable manner. However wealth will be plentiful while two marriages may be possible. With Saturn if in aspect to the Moon in Cancer, he may not achieve much financial success but will be a rolling stone.

30. THE MOON IN LEO : If the Moon is in Leo, one will have sturdy bones, sparse hair, wide face, small and yellowish eyes, will hate women, will suffer from hunger and thirst, will incur stomachial disorders and tooth-decay, will eat flesh, be charitable, harsh, will have few sons, will seek sexual union in forests and hills, be respectfully disposed to his mother, will have broad chest, be valorous, dutiful and will have majestic looks.

Notes : With the Moon in Leo, the native will tend to sexual union in forests/hills (or in remote places) as the lion seeks. His voice resembles that of a lion-so majestic it is and he eats flesh. He may not have so good a marital front unless Venus, Sun or Jupiter comes to the Moon's rescue. Now see how the Moon reacts remaining in Leo for the various ascen- dants prevailing at birth.

Aries ascendant : The person lacks progenic ability or with great difficulty (i.e. after propitiations, medical treatments etc.) he will beget a female issue. The native may not be upto mark in respect of intelligence. Taurus ascendant : Weak Moon cannot give many brothers/sisters but will cause braindrain. Full Moon gives abundant landed property (around deserts or barren lands). Gemini ascendant : The person will have many brothers if the Moon is full. If weak, loss of co-born, lack of intelligence, burning sensation in the throat, Tonsils etc. will be experienced. Cancer ascendant : Child mortality is indicated if the Moon is weak. Full Moon confers great longevity. Leo ascendant : The native will be night-blind with weak Moon right from his boyhood while Full Moon may cause eye defects at a later part of life. However, longevity will depend on Saturn and other factors. Virgo ascendant : The elder sister may be barren while the native may be in penury for a greater

Chapter 23 265

part of his life. Libra ascendant : The native will spend on auspicious functions like marriage, will have a decent living and will spend away his paternal property in life time. Scorpio ascsndant : He will have loving parents, high education etc. The father may however be at loggerheads with the mother. Sagittarius ascendant : The native's father will be shortlived while the native will be subjected to misfortunes. Capricorn ascendant : The native will not enjoy a happy married life while his spouse may not bc virile. Aquarius ascendant : The native's spouse will be sickly while his enemies will always trouble him. Pisces ascendant : He will not have healthy children, will experience miseries throughout life and will be holding only low positions in life.

31-36. THE MOON IN LEO IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : Should the Moon be in Leo in aspect to the Sun, the native will be equal to a king, will have excellent qualities and maje- stic voice, will be valorous, be fond of intoxicants and be widely famous. If Mars aspects the Moon in Leo. he will be

266 Saravali

an army chief will have excellent wife, sons, wealth and con- veyances and be superior among people. Should Mercury aspect the Moon in Leo one will be endowed with the chara- cteristics of a female, and also the grace akin to that of a female; will be in the custody of females, will serve females and will enjoy money, happiness and pleasures. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in Leo, one will be excellent among his castemen, be wide-famed, highly virtuous and will equal a king Should Venus aspect the Moon in Leo, one will possess a wife, wealth, and high knowledge, be sickly disposed, will be a female's servant, and be skilful in sexual union. If the Moon in Leo is aspected by Saturn, the person will be an agriculturist, be not wealthy, be a liar, will protect forts, be devoid of happiness from wife and be mean.

Notes : If the Moon in Leo is aspected by the Sun, while the ascendant is one of Aries, Leo and Scorpio, the native will beget big fortunes. Similarly if aspected by Mars for these three ascendants. Mercury's aspect on the Moon in Leo in general is a good combination for astrology. Saturn aspecting the Moon in Leo will make the native resort to extra-marital relationship. The aspect of Jupiter or of Venus will confer wealth.

MOON IN VIRGO IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon occupies Virgo at birth and is aspected by the Sun, the native will be incharge of royal wealth, be famous, will keep up his word, and perform distinguished acts. If Mars aspects the Moon posited in Virgo, the subject will be skilful in mechanical or fine arts (of 64 kinds), be famous, affluent, disciplined, courageous and will be inauspicious for mother. Should it be Mercury that lends aspect to the Moon in Virgo, the native will be expert in astrology and literature, be successful in disputes/quarrels, and be highly skilful to a surprising extent. Jupiter aspecting the Moon in Virgo indicates that the native will be supreme among his relatives, be happy, will carry out royal duties, will keep up his word and will be endowed wealth.

Chapter 23 269

indicates that the person will be an expert artist while that of Mercury denotes proficient astrologer, lawyer, literator etc. Venus lending its aspect points out to plurality of wives, more so when the ascending sign is also Virgo. Saturn's aspect on the Moon in Virgo denotes that the person will run brothels and the like and will earn money in mean ways.

उन्नासो व्यायताक्ष: कृशवदनतनुर्भूरिदारो वृषाढयो गोभूभ्यः शौर्यसारो वृषसमवृषणो विक्रमाढयः क्रियेशः । भक्तो देवद्विजानां बहुविभवयुतः स्त्रीजितो हीनदेहो धान्यादानकबुद्धिस्तुलिनि शशधरे बन्धुवर्गोपकारी॥४४।

Notes : The Moon is capable of bestowing following effects remaining in Libra, for the various ascendants :

Aries ascendant : If the Moon is Full, she may even inflict death; the native will not have freedom from diseases. If the Moon is weak, she may not pose death on the native, but the mother of the native will not be happy. Taurus ascendant : The native will have, if the Moon is Full, still troubles from litiga- tions. debts etc. though to a minimum extent; if she be weak, the subject is always subjected to miseries and inauspicious effects. Gemini ascendant : If the Moon is Full. one makes lot of money and maintains abundant savings He will have physical beauty, mental chastity etc. to full extent. If the Moon is declin- ing, loss of female issues, lack of learning, sufferances from brain diseases, blood pressure and having moderate luck should be predicted. Cancer ascendant : If the Moon is Full, he

270 Saravali

enjoys maternal happiness, landed property, learning, conveya- nces etc. Paternal inheritance will be quite significant. He will do business across the seas and enjoy abundant riches. If she is decreasing, early death of parents, obstruction to education, running away from the family etc. can be denoted. Leo ascen- dant : If the Moon is Full, one will derive good fortunes through sisters. He will achieve fame as singer, actor etc. If she is declining, enmity with co-born, diseases of the throat, blood-clot etc. may be foreseen. Virgo ascendant : If it is Full Moon, one will amass wealth to a surprising extent, will have a beautiful faee, pleasant teeth, a rich elder brother and uninterrupted gains. His Moon's dasa will confer a supreme Rajayoga. If she is waning, there will be only an ordinary yoga. Libra ascendant : If the Moon is weak, the native's longevity is short and he will not enjoy good position. If she is full, one becomes a very notable personage, very famous and very rich. If Venus aspects such Full Moon, the native is richer than the richest. If she is declining, the native is a 'repository' of all kinds of miseries, subjected to rheumatic/ blood disorders and will lose his mother very early. Scorpio ascendant : The Moon in the 12th cannot give much wealth but the native will become famous and will spend on meritorious and noble acts. If she is waning, the expenditure will be on bad deeds and one becomes illfamous. Sagittarius ascendant : If the Moon is Full, the earning will be abundant and by fair means. The person will be long-lived but will face occasional losses through theft, machination etc. If she is waning, there will not be much wealth but short-life. Capricorn ascendant : If the Moon is Full, one will be endowed with good conduct, independent profession and spiritual activities. If she is declin- ing, he will be devoid of character, will be proud and will resort to ignoble means for livelihood. Aquarius ascendant : Moon dasa can give ordinary results if she is full and adverse effects if the Moon is declining. Pisces ascendant : Same as for Aquarius. Additionally, Full Moon bestows long life on Pisces native while declining Moon will cause infant mortality.

MOON IN LIBRA IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon is in Libra and is aspected by the Sun, the person will be bereft of wealth, be diseased, will wander here and there, be insulted, be bereft of enjoyment, sons and strength. If Mars aspects the Moon in Libra, the person will be sharp, be a thief, be mean, adulterous, will enjoy scents and garlands, be wise, and will suffer from eye diseases. If Mercury aspects the Moon in Libra, the subject will be skilful in arts, will have abundant riches and grains, will be an auspicious speaker, be highly learned, and be famous in his country. Should Jupiter aspect the Moon in Libra, the person will be always wor- shipped, and be skilful in sales and purchases of gems etc. If Venus lends his aspect to the Moon in Libra, one will be beautiful, be free from sickness, fortunate, strongbodied, be learned, and will have knowledge of many means. Should Saturn aspect the Moon in Libra, the native will be very affluent, be sweet in speach, be endowed with conveyances, be very much interested in sexual affairs, be devoid of happiness and be favourable to his mother. Notes : If the Moon in Libra is aspected by the Sun, it is inauspicious for wealth, progeny etc. But if Venus is exalted simultaneously or is in Aries (along with the Sun) the malefie effects denoted will not come to pass but good effects will increase in these areas. Still the native will desire frequent

272 Saravali

changes. If Mars aspects the Moon in Libra from Cancer, the person will be of thievish disposition, will join other women and will contract many diseases. If the aspect is from Pisces, these effects will vonish and the native will be free from diseases, be virtuous and rich. If from Aries, the native will however, acquire an extravagant, irascible wife whose longevity will depend on the strength of Mars. Should Mercury aspect the Moon in Libra, the native will gain paternal property which will however be spent away. If Jupiter lends his aspect to the Moon in Libra, the subject's father will suffer from diseases while the native's fortunes will be many. Saturn's aspect on the Moon will make the native very rich, spiritual and philoso- phical.

51. MOON IN SCORPIO : Should the Moon be in Scorpio at birth, one will be a miser, will have round thighs (i.e. wellgrown thighs), will have coarse physique and nose, (i.e. the physique and nose will not be soft), will be cruel in acts, be a thief, be sick in childhood, will have spoiled chin and nails but beautiful eyes, will be plentiful, be industrious, skilful, fond of other housewives, devoid of relatives, insane (or infatuated with passion), valorous, will lose wealth due to royal wrath and will have a big abdomen and a big head.

Notes : The Moon when in Scorpio will be in fall and hence it proportionately reduces the potence of the horoscope. If however she occupies further favourable houses, this defici- ency is offset to a great extent. Or if she is Full or is aspected by Venus, Mercury, Jupiter or Mars, much betterment can be expected. Posited in Scorpio, the Moon can manifest the following different effects for the various rising signs.

Aries ascendant : If the Moon is in Scorpio at birth, the native and his mother as well will be sick and shortlived. There

Chapter 23 273

will always be poverty. Taurus ascendant : If the Moon is Full, the wife of the native will be amicable, beautiful and will bring fortunes with her. If the Moon is waning, the native's marriage is delayed and the married life will not be happy. The second issue of the native will be afflicted or short-lived. Gemini ascendant : The subject will contract several debts and will always be in wants, Full Moon mitigates these defetcs sufficiently. Cancer ascendant : The subject will suffer abdo- minal disordres. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in this case, dropsy will result and death will be caused in the major or sub periods of Moon/Jupiter. Leo ascendant : If the Moon is in 3rd degree of Scorpio, all the good combinations and merits of the horoscope are marred and the native cannot prosper. If Rahu joins the Moon, the mother is unchaste. Virgo ascendant : The native will be deaf or will suffer from diseases of the ear. If the Moon is Full, treat- ments will be of some help Libra ascendant : The person concerned will not make any headway in profession and will face accute poverty. Scorpio ascendant : The subject will be dullwitted, foolish and poor. Sagittarius ascendant : If it is New Moon, death will take place at the age of 8. If full Moon survives the netive, he will resort to unfair means of earning and will spend away all his wealth. Capricorn ascendant : If Moon is Full, her dasa will bestow somewhat better effects but not marital bliss. If weak, there will be allround adver- sities apart from quite an unhappy married life. Aquarius ascendant : In this case weak Moon in fall in the 10th gives excellent results, abundant Luck etc. while Full Moon gives- little favourable effects, see the sloka concerned : दशमे पूर्ण चन्द्रस्थे स्वल्पयोगप्रदायक: क्षीशाश्चेत्पूर्णं सौभाग्ययोगमेव ददो तथा (with refe- rence to Aquarius). Pisces Ascendant : Full Moon gives moderate results but grief on account of children while declin ing Moon does not confer any auspicious results. कुरुते लोकर्द्वष्यं बुधमटनं चंव वित्तवन्तं च। दिनकरदृष्टोऽलिगतशचन्द्रः सुखवरजितं पुरुषम् ॥५२॥ अनुवमधर्यं कुरुते नृपतिसमं वृश्चिके विभूतियुतम्। शूरमजय्यं समरे प्रभक्षणं भूमिजेन संदृष्टः ॥५३।।

52-57. MOON IN SCORPIO IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon at birth is in Scorpio and aspected by the Sun, the native will hate people (i.e. will not be friendly with others), be learned, wandering natured, and rich but be not happy. Should Mars aspect the Moon in Scorpio, the native will have incomparable courage, be equal to a king, be endowed with wealth, be valorous, inconquerable in battle, and be a voracious eater. If Mercury aspects the Moon in Scorpio, the person will not be skilful, be hard in speech, will obtain twins, be tricky, will produce fictitious things and be an expert singer. If Jupiter lends aspect to the Moon in Scorpio, the native will be interested in performing his duties, will be biassed towards people, be wealthy and be beautiful. If Venus aspects the Moon in Scorpio, the native will be highly intelligent, be fortunate, be endowed with riches, conveyances and beauty, and will lose strength on account of women. If Saturn aspects the Moon in Scorpio, the native will have base sons, be a talebearer, be sick, poor and untruthful.

Notes : While the aspect of the Sun on the Moon in Scorpio has its brighter side, it has its adverse phase as well in that the luni-solar relationship involving Scorpio-Taurus brings strained married life. The spouse is oftener found irascible, upper-handed and selfish. The native is generally not happy in most fields except that he reaps some wealth. This is good for higher education if the Moon is beyond her deep fall zone. Mars lending aspect to the Moon adds to the

Chapter 2 275

courage of the person. He will be more disposed towards eating frequently hot foods. Financial achievements will be splendid if Mars aspects from Aries. Mercury's aspect takes away the self-confidence invested by other planetary combina- tions and gives problems in speech, like stammering. The native will indulge in cheating, trickery, jugglery etc. He will be skilful in forgery, and will invite risk if Rahu is associated with the Moon or Mercury. Jupiter's aspect on the Moon gives physical beauty but slender waist. This aspect may produce problems like intestinal ulcer, or indigestion etc. If the aspect of Jupiter is from Cancer/Pisces, it may result in dropsy and consequeat death. Venusian touch from Taurus on the Moon gives abundant wealth, beautiful and libidinous wife, and business in beautifying articles, textiles, jewellery, interior decoration etc. The combination is also capable of causing imbalances in excretory and generative system. Saturn (singly) aspecting the Moon in Scorpio denies marriage altogether but the native tends to seek pleasures of sex out of the way. If at all marriage is granted, it is only namesake. This aspect triggers of various diseases like heart trouble, windy complaint etc. This is also a dysmelic indi- cation.

कुब्जाङ्गो वृत्तनेत्रः पृथुहृदयकटिः पीनबाहुः प्रवक्ता दीर्घासो दीर्घकण्ठो जलतटवसतिः शिल्पिविद् गूढविज्ञः। शूरो हृष्टोऽस्थिसारो विततबहुबलः स्थूलकण्ठीष्ठघोरो बन्धुस्नेही कृतज्ञो धनुषि शशिधरे संहताङ्घ्रि: प्रगल्भः ॥५८॥

Weakness of thighs, hips and bad lungs will result in the relative periods of the Moon.

The Moon-whether Full or New -in Sagittarius makes a Geminian prone to accidents caused by fall from height. Fear from animals, loss of memory and premature fall of teeth will follow. Cancer ascendant : One will be addicted to frequent drinking of liquor, gambling, debauchery and contracting loans. If, however, the Moon is strong, beneficial resuits will be reaped and the person will be free from diseases and be long-lived. Leo a ascendant : Bereavement on account of children, gains from animals, husbandry etc. will result while the drak side denotes cardiac/respiratory disorders.

Notes : Normally, the Sun's aspect on the Moon in Capricorn deprives one of affluence as both these planets are not well disposed towards Saturn, the Moon sign lord. How- ever, if the ascedant be one of Scorpio, Aries, Leo, or Cancer -particularly Cancer, it brings wealth etc. The aspect of Mars on the Capricorn-Moon is very favourable for riches as Mars is unsullied yogakaraka for this ascendant: Mercury's aspect is not a good augury for money while it is auspicious for father's success. This aspect gives a sickly wife. However. Jupiter's aspect on the Moon in Capricorn tends to plurality of wives and number of children. If Jupiter falls in Capri-

Chapter 23 281

corn navamsa in the process the effects are only moderate. The Moon in a Rasi of Saturn and in aspect to Venus gives a tendency to be immoral but favours the native with vehicles, jewels etc. Saturn's aspect also promotes immoral character, distress out of sexual feelings and wealth. In addition, this aspect makes the spouse prudent and loving. उद्धोणो रूक्षदेहः पृथुकरचरणो मद्यपानप्रसक्तः सद्दवष्यो धर्महीनः परसुतजनकः स्थूलमूर्धा कुनेत्रः। शाठ्यालस्थाभिभूतो विपुलमुखकटिः शिल्पविद्यासमेतो दुःशीलो दुःखतप्तो घटभमुपगते रात्रिनाथे दरिद्रः ॥७२।। 72. MOON IN AQUARIUS : If the Moon is in Aquarius at birth, the person will have elevated nose, rough or uneven body, and stout hands and legs; will be addicted to intoxicants, will be averse to the virtuous, be not himself virtuous, will obtain illegal sons, will have stout head, ugly/diseased eyes, bright face and prominent waist, be an artisan, will have bad mentality, be miserablr, and will be very poor. Notes : The Moon in Aquarius is capable of producing the following different effects for the various rising signs : Aries ascendant : The Moon produces favourable Yoga in the 11th and the native resorts to fair means of earning. Taurus ascendant : The native will resort to ignoble acts if the Moon is weak, Full Moon confers visits to shrines and all kinds of wealth. Gemini ascendant : This is a very fortunae position if the Moon is full and the native will be never in want. If the Moon is with diminishing rays the native will be ominous for father and will lose his father early. Cancer ascendant : Unless the Moon is Full, one may not enjoy fair longevity but will be sickly. Leo ascendant : If the Moon is strong, the native will beget a chaste and beautiful wife and will enjoy fortunes. If weak, he will marry twice. Virgo ascendant : If the Moon is Full, the native will (at least) beget some loans; if weak even that will be difficult. So to say, his financial condition will be awful. Libra ascendant : The native : will acquire happiness through children and will enjoy power, position etc. Scorpio ascendant : If the Moon is Full, the

282 Šaravali

subject will be a great scholar, will enjoy abundant properties, conveyances etc, and will be happy with his mother. If she is weak, these are proportionately meagre. Sagittarius ascenpant : If the Moon is full, one will have prospering sisters; if weak he will only lose them. Capricorn ascendant : If the Moon is Full, he will have a beautiful face, be affluent and learned; and will enjoy favours in Moon's dasa while it may sometimes cause death. Weak Moon does not prove a killer but gives no wealth. Aquarius ascendant : The Moon in the ascendant is not auspicious in this case. If she is Full, the native will suffer from windy complaints and be sickly. His Moon's dasa will not be good in effect. If she is weak, he will have crooked mind and will experience only difficulties. Pisces ascendant : If the Moon is Full, one will be famous, virtuous and will enjoy a superior Raja Yoga. If weak, the dasa will give ordinary result and some misery in respect of children.

Chapter 23 283

like a king in guise, be virtuous, and be an agriculturist. If Mars aspects the Moon in Aquarius, one will be quite truthful, will not inherit money from mother and elders, be indolent, and mysterious, and interested in others' work. If Mercury aspects the Moon in Aquarius, the native will be skilful in treating others well while hosting them, will be proficient in music, will be liked by the fair sex, and will possess less money and less happiness. Should Jupiter aspect the Moon in Aquarius, the native will own villages, agriculture lands and trees, be endowed with superior castles and superior ladies, and will be devoted to (sensual) enjoyments (Bhogi also means rich person or a king.) If Venus aspects the Moon in Aquarius, the person will be base, issueless, friendless, timid, be censured by preceptors, be sinful, will have a bad wife and will be least happy. Should the Moon in Aquarius have Saturn's aspect, the native will have (prominent) nails and hair, be dirty, will seek union with other women, be a dunce, be irreligious and be rich possessing many immovables.

Notes: The luni-solar aspect relating to Aquarius is generally not a good augury for wealth and other matters. The native will only be mistaken to be rich by others but will actually not be so. If Mars aspects the Moon, the Lagna being Capricorn or Aquarius, it may help the native financially and positionally. Mercury's aspect over the Moon will bring windy diseases, rheumatic breakdown, asthmatic complaints etc., monetary flow will be limited while association with females will be significantly marked. It is extremely good for the Moon in Aquarius to be aspected by Jupiter so that the native will enjoy high position, own landed properties in abundance and will be amidst superior woman (not for physical pleasures but for beneficial association). Venus aspecting the Moon in Aquarius may give some ordinary wealth but the marital sphere is severely strained. The person will be attached to whores, be not happy with his wife, will lack general happiness, will note have children and will be dismissed by his family members. Capricorn, Libra, Taurus and Virgo are somewhat better in effect if Venus aspects the Moon in Aquarius and the adverse results cited will get slightly improved towards favour

284 Šaravali

able side. If Saturn aspects the Moon in Aquarius, it will bestow great wealth and properties but will make one go after women and sexual satisfaction will be the only aim of the native. In some cases, even his spouse may not be loyal, depending on her natal Venus/Moon.

शिल्पोत्पन्नाधिकारोऽहितजयनिपुण: शास्त्रविच्चारुदेहो गेयज्ञो धर्मनिष्ठो बहुपुवतिरतः सौम्यवाक् भूपसेवी। ईषत्कोपी महत्कः सुखनिधिधनभाक् स्त्रीजितः सत्स्वभावो यानासक्तः समुद्रे तिमियुगलगते शीतगौ दानशील:।७६।।

79. MOON IN PISCES : If the Moon is in Pisces, the native will be expert in fine arts, be capable of winning even unfavourable people, be learned in Sasthras, beautiful-bodied, proficient in music, very religious, will cohabit with many women, be a polite speaker, will serve the king, be somewhat irascible, will have a big head, be endowed with happiness and wealth, will be won over by the fair sex, be virtuous, be interested in sailing and be liberal.

Notes : The Moon in this Rasi will normally give good effects, but a great deal naturally depends on the rising sign, Jupiter and the associated planets. She gives the following varied effects depending on the ascending sign at birth :

Aries ascendant : The subject will lack maternal happi- ness, be inimical to his cousins and will spend away all his earnings, if the Moon is declining in the 12th in Pisces. If she is Full, the native will be learned and wealthy while his savings will depend on the strength of Jupiter. Taurus ascen- dant : With Full Moon, the earnings will be abundant and through fair means. Even weak Moon will give some wealth but through unfair means. Generally, the native will enjoy good health, learning etc. Gemini ascendant : The native will obtain a superior profession and gain through travels. Cancer ascendant : If Moon is full, the native will enjoy abundant ancestral wealth, but will also spend in equal proportions. Weak Moon will make the native occasionally unfortunate

Chapter 23 285

and will bestow only moderate gains in journeys, Leo ascendant : Neither the Full Moon nor weak Moon will be in a position to confer position on the native. If this dasa coincides with boyhood, it will cause premature death. Virgo ascendant : If the Moon is waxing, the native will frequently visit shrines, will acquire a beautiful and rich wife and will beget many. daughters. Waning Moon in Pisces will delay the marriage of the native and will give a sickly wife. She will suffer bloody diseases. Libra ascendant: The native will contract heavy loans. Depending upon the state of the Moon, he will advance in his career. Scorpio ascendant : The native's children will be very fortunate. In the dasa of the Moon, the native will propsper highly and will. achieve his life's aims. Sagittarius ascendant : The native will lose his mother early if the Moon is waning. If waxing, he will enjoy maternal happiness and acquire landed property, high education etc. and be happy. Capricorn ascendant : If the Moon is waning, the native's wife will have defect of some limb. Full Moon gives name, fame, wealth etc. to the native but he will be timid in disposition. Aquarius ascendant : The native will incur many lossess in the matter of money and will mostly be in debts. Pisces ascendant : The native will achieve high politi- cal/business position if the Moon is strong, If weak, it will give ordinary results.

विकलमहितं जनन्याः कामातं पुत्रदारमतिहीनम्। कुरुते रविसुतदृष्टो नीचविरूपाङ्गनासवतम् ॥८५॥ 80-85. MOON IN PISCES IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon posited in Pisces is aspected by the Sun, the native will be highly libidinous, be happy, be an army chief, be very affiuent and will have delighted wife, If Mars aspects the Moon in Pisces, the person will be insulted, be devoid of happiness, is an unchaste woman's son, will be interested in sins, and will be valorous. He will be a king if the Moon in Pisces is aspected by Mercury; will be highly intelligent, be happy and will be surrounded by supreme females and be controlled by them. If Jupiter aspects the Moon in Pisces, he will be beautiful, fierce, head of a district, be very affluent, beautiful and will be surrounded by many women. If Venus aspects the Moon in Pisces, he will be skilful in coition, interested in dance, instrumental music and songs and will steal the hearts of the fair sex. Should Saturn aspect the Moon in Pisces, he will be deformed, be unfavourable to mother, be sexually distressed, be devoid of sons, wife and intelligence and will be attached to mean and ugly females.

Notes : If the Moon in Pisces is aspected by Jupiter/ Mercury the person will enjoy high position in life. If by Venus from Virgo, his married life will not be happy; he will not earn much wealth but be unhappy in all respects. Saturn aspecting the Moon in Pisces will make one go without marriage and go after prostitutes. If by Mars, his mother will be of questionable character. The Sun aspecting the Moon in Pisces denotes a person with fat body.

राशिपतौ बलयुक्ते राशौ च बलान्विते तथा चन्द्रे। राशिफलं स्यात् सकलं नीचाच्चाविधिना च संचिन्त्यम् ॥८६॥। 86. SAID RESULTS TO MATURE : If the lord of the Moon sign, the Moon sign itself and the Moon are all endowed with strength, the said effects (duc to Moon's position as laid down in this chapter) will fully come to pass. The effects will vary according to positions like debilitation, exaltation etc. (of the dispositor and the aspecting planet).

Chapter 24 287

Notes : For example, assume the Moon is in Aries at birth. If the Moon should give full results due to her position in that Rasi, Mars should be equally strong. There should be good aspects to Aries (and the Moon). If the dispositor, Mars in this case, is in fall, inimically placed ctc. the effects will be adverse. Similar estimates should be made through the aspecting planet as well.

इति कल्याएवमविरचितायां सारावल्यां चन्द्रचारो नाम त्रयोविशोऽध्याय: ॥२३॥

Thus ends the 23rd chapter in Saravali, entitled "Effects arising out of the Moon".

Chapter 24 Effects of Moon in Various Navamsas

1-3. MOON IN NAVAMSA OF ASPECTED BY OTHERS : If the Moon is in the navamsa of Mars aspected by Mars himself, one will win over his enemies and will be valorous; if by Saturn very cunning, deceiving and trifling; if by the Sun thief, sometimes cruel and sometimes protecting and be courageous; if by Jupiter, he will be a king, be famous and honoured by the learned; if by Venus, he will be a king's

288 Saravali

minis'er, be wealthy and be fond of women and cosmetics and lastly if by Mercury, he will be a fast speaker and be fickle- minded. Notes : A clarification about aspect with reference to Navamsa is necessary here. The aspect of a planet should not be noted in the Navamsa chart but by longitudinal dis- tance, i.e. in the Rasi chart. For example, take the Moon in the navamsa of Mars to be aspected by Mercury. To fulfil this, the Moon should be in the Navamsa of Aries/Scorpio and be aspected by Mercury in the Rasi chart. Suppose the Moon is in Pisces while Mercury is in Virgo. The said Moon should simultaneously be in Scorpio navamsa, i.e. between 16° 40'-20° in Pisces and get the aspect of the planet Mercury from Virgo. In other words, Mercury need be in a certain position in Navamsa vis-a-vis Moon in specified Navamsa. Unless this aspect is properly understood, one cannot effectively and meaningfully apply the relative rules. Similar inference applies to decanate and other such sub-divisions. सितभागे सितदृष्टे योषिद्वस्त्रान्नपानधनसौख्यम्। जनयति बुधेन चन्द्रो वाद्यज्ञं नृत्तगेयपरम्॥४॥ गुरुरणा कविप्रधानं नयशास्त्रविशारदं नृपतिसचिवम्। परदारदर्शनपरं कामिनमारेर बहुभृत्यम् ॥५॥ सूर्येर महामूर्ख प्रियंवदं सततमन्नपानरुचिम्। सौरेश वर्धकीनां गुणैश्च सदृशं दिशति चन्द्रः ॥६।। 4-6. MOON IN NAVAMSA OF VENUS IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon is in Taurus/Libra navamsa and is aspected by Venus, the person will be happy in regard to wife, robes, food and drinks; if by Mercury he will have knowledge of playing musical instruments and be interested in dance and music ; if by Jupiter, hc will be a great poet, be highly skilful in the branch of justice (or politics), be a king's minister, will enjoy sight of other housewives, be libidinous, and will have many a servant; if by the Sun, he will be a great stupid, will possess a beautiful face and will always enjoy food and drinks and lastly if by Saturn, the person will resemble a carpenter in disposition (i.e. he will be a carpenter by profession).

MOON IN SATURN'S NAVAMSA IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If the Moon is in Capricorn/Aquarius Navamsa and is aspected by Saturn, the native will be miserly, sickly and will have dead children; if by the Sun, he will have a few children, be miserable with disseases and be ugly; if by Mars, he will be equal to a king, be very rich, happy but unfortunate in regard to wife; if by Venus, he will be of crooked dis- position. be attached to women and be valorous; if by Mercury, he will be interested in liquors, and will have bad history; and lastly if by Jupiter, he will be devoted to his own work and be great. वर्गोत्तमे स्वकीये परकीयनवांशके च दृष्टिफलम्। पुष्डं मध्यं स्वल्पं विपरीतं स्यादनिष्टफलम् ॥२२॥ राशिफलं यद् दृष्डं पूर्वैः कथितं ग्रहैः शशाङ्कस्य। तस्य निरोधो दृष्टो यद्यंशपतिर्बली भवति ॥२३॥ अंशपतेश्चन्द्रस्य व फलं विनिश्चित्य दर्शनकृतानि। कथितानि यवनवृद्धः फलानि सम्यग्व्यवस्यन्ति ॥२४॥ 22-24. SCOPE OF EFFECTS : If the Moon is in Vargothama Navamsa, own navamsa or other's navamsa, the effects will be full, medium and minor respectively. This does not apply to evil effects, so to say these will be reverse. If

292 Saravali

the Navamsa lord is stronger than the Rasi lord, then only the effects due to navamsa Jord will come to pass, i.e. the Navamsa effects due to the Moon will be felt as against that of her Rasi position. So say Vriddha Yavanas. इति कल्याखवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां अंशकदर्शने चन्द्रचारो नाम चतुर्विशोऽध्यायः ॥२४॥ Thus ends the 24th chapter in Kalyana Varma's Saravali entitled 'Effects arising out of Moon's position in various Navamsas'.

Chapter 25 Effects of Mars in Various Rasis

तेजस्वी सत्ययुतः श्ूरः क्षितिपोऽथवा रणश्लाघी। साहसकर्माभिरतश्चमूपुरग्रामवृन्दपतिः राभसिको दानरतः प्रभूतगोऽजाविधान्यकरः। भौमे क्रिये प्रचण्डो बहुयुवतिरतो भवेत्पुरुषः ॥२॥ 1-2. MARS IN ARIES : If Mars at birth occupies Aries, the native will be splendorous, truthful, valorous, bc a king, be fond of war, interested in adventurous acts, be an army chief, or head of a village or a band; be delighted, charitable be endowed with a number of cows, goats etc. and grains, be fierce and will join many women. Notes : Mars remaining in Aries will bestow varied results as under for the different ascendants at birth : Aries ascendant : Mars in Aries as ascendant gives physical distress. The dasa of Mars will give ordinary results as he is simultaneously the lord of the 8th. In the second half of Mars dasa, more adverse results will be felt, equal to death. Taurus ascendant : The person will contract heavy debts, will spend

Chapter 25 293

more on evil fronts and will lose his landed property ctc. Gemini ascendant : Mars in Aries will produce a splendid Raja Yoga conferring landed/housing properties and co-operation and help from brothers etc. An adverse Mars can cause loss of issues or may give disobedient children. Cancer ascendant : The native will aass wealth and lands and will acquire prominent position in fields like Police, Defence etc. This is a good position to run sales of animals, dairy products etc. Leo ascendant : Mars in Aries will cause distress in regard to father. If father and son both simultaneously run Mars dasa, death of father will take place. The native will however be wealthy with occasional misfortunes. Virgo ascendant : The subject will undergo various difficulties in life and will not attain success in financial matters. Depending on Venus, his marital life will be prosperous. Libra ascendant : Though the person will earn riches during Mars dasa, he will not be free from marital inharmony. Sometimes, marital life may be short. Scorpio ascendant : The native will, according to one authority, have more enemies, more debts and more diseases. (According to what I have noticed, Mars in 6th in Aries will cause physis cal defect, make one a debaucher and successful over enemies. He may be subjected to diseases, like piles.) Sagittarius ascendant : Though the native will attain great prosperitys lands etc., he will not be free from worries on account of children. His retaining a living child is doubtful and dependant on Jupiter. Capricorn ascendant : The native may be separated from his mother but will have longliving mother. He will earn abundant money and gains. His education may be disturbed. Aquarius ascendant : He will grab some property of his brothers or may lose coborn. In courage, he will be like a lion. Pisces ascendant : Mars dasa can give beneficial results while peace in family is scarce.

साध्वीव्रतभङ्गकरः प्रभक्षणो मन्दधनपुत्रः। द्वेष्यो बहुभरणपरो विस्त्रम्भस्थितिविहीनश्च ।।३।। प्रोद्धतवेषकीडो बहुदुष्टवचाः कुजे वृषभसंस्थे। सङ्गीतरतः पापो बन्धुविरुद्धः कुलात्सादी॥४॥

294 Sarayali

3-4. MARS IN TAURUS : If Mars is in Taurus in a nativity, the person will break the vows of chaste women, will eat voraciously, will have little wealth and few sons, be jealous, will maintain many people, will not trust others, will play violently, will speak very harshly, be fond of music, be sinful, be inimical to relatives and will bring infame to his family.

Notes : Depending on the ascendant at birth, as under, Mars in Taurus will manifest following different effects :

Aries ascendant : Loss of children and blemishes in respect of wife will result. Taurus ascendant : The native will suffer from smallpox and will never be happy. Two marriages are indicated. Gemini ascendant : The native will be troubled on account of debts. He will contract many secret diseases and, will have fear of enemies. Loss of wife and loss of limbs may also come into effect. If a malefic is associated with Mars in Taurus a Gemini native may even be imprisoned. Cancer ascendant : The native may have abundant earnings but all by unfair means. Leo ascendant : He will enjoy position, happiness and pleasures. Virgo ascendant : His good fortunes will be ordinary and he will suffer from paternal grief. Libra ascendant : The native will not beget children. He may lose his wife quite early. His own longevity is doubtful and death will; be violent in nature. Scorpio ascendant : Marital life will be happy though the wife may suffer from frequent sick- ness. If Venus is strong, the wife may not be subjected to illhealth. Occasional financial losses will be experienced. Sagittarius ascendant : There will not be amicability with. children and the native will not be happy in this field. There will be burden of loans, litigations and expenditure. His fortunes are quite obstructed. Capricorn ascendant : The native will become rich and will experience allround gains while diseases of the stomach will prevail. Frequent abortions will be the order of life for a female with this position. Aquarius ascendant : If Mars is in Taurus at birth, the native will be inimically disposed to his mother. Immovable properties will be abundant while learning will not be so. Pisces ascendant : He will only acquire an ordinary livelihood in life.

5-6. MARS IN GEMINI : Should Mars be in Gemini, the native will be splendorous, be capable of enduring miseries, be very learned, be wellversed with poetical rules, skilful. in various kinds of fine arts, fond of going to foreign countries, virtuously disposed, highly intelligent, favourably disposed to his sons and friends and will devote to various kinds of assignments.

Notes : Mars in Gemini will produce the following effects for the different ascendants :

Aries ascendant : Mars dasa will in the beginning give good results while in the later half, goods will be marred.

7-8. MARS IN CANCER : If Mars is in Cancer at birth, the subject will like living in others' houses, be deformed, sick, will attain riches through agriculture, will enjoy royal food and robes during childhood, will eat food in others' houses, will become wealthy through the source of water, be repeatedly anguished and be always distressed. Notes : Mars in Cancer is generally found not congenial for maternal happiness. The native will be brought up by other relatives. Though the text says that the childhood of the native will be happy, in actual experience it is found to be reverse. So to say, Mars in Cancer does not give good results in early life but in later part. Depending on the natal ascen- dant, this planet in Cancer will give following effects. Aries ascendant : There will be little happiness with Mars in the 4th in Cancer. The native's mother may be short lived; otherwise separation or misunderstanding will follow.

Notes : Mars in Libra will give the undermentioned results for the various rising signs at birth : Aries ascendant : Though Mars is the lord of the ascen- dant, if he be in Libra, he will cause imbalances in married life. The native may lose his wife early. This position also tells upon other yogas in general. Taurus ascendant : Here Mars acts on the marital front in still worse a manner. Apart, the native will suffer from everlasting diseases, inimical activities etc. He will spend on immoral purposes. Gemini ascendant : Progeny will be delayed while a female in parti- cular will suffer from menstrual disorders. She will not be chaste in disposition.

15-16. MARS IN SCORPIO : If Mars occupies Scorpio at birth, the native will be attached to trade, will be interested in vedic knowledge, be leader of thieves, skilful in his duties. be interested in wars, be highly sinful, will do big crimes, will be perfidious towards his enemies, will betray, be disposed towards killing, be unhelpful, be a talebearer, will be endowed with lands, sons and wife and be troubled by poison, fire, weapons and wounds.

Notes : When Mars occupies Scorpio, the person becomes adept in trading or in pursuing independent profession. He may also acquire deep knowledge in archaic branches of

302 Saravali

knowledge like Vedas. If the planet is adverse, one may take to thieving which is particularly true in the case of an Aries nativity, for Scorpio is the 8th from the ascending sign. 'Interest in wars' as given in the text may turn out to be interest in quarrel, fighting etc. Snake bite, electric shock, fire accident and such other calamities may occur in his life. If Mars is in this position in 22nd decanate, it may even cause death through any of the above cited means. The native will enjoy landed property, wife and sons. If Scorpio happens to be the 7th house, i.e. Taurus ascending at birth, Mars in Scorpio does not hurt the sphere of marriage, vide Bhavartha Ratnakara. One the other hand, he proves auspicious. Natives with Mars in Scorpio may well become police officers, fire brigadiers, chemists, miners, weapon dealers and so on and so forth, which however depends on his relationship with the Lagna and its Lord. If he is adverse, these spheres be better avoided. Now see how Mars in Scorpio proves to different nativities :

Aries ascendent : Though the longevity may be fairly long, the native occasionally faces ups and downs. Financial emergencies, losses etc. are not ruled out. Married life will be blowing between hot and cold. If Venus is not favourable, even loss of spouse may take place Taurus ascendant : A Telugu canticle however says that Mars in the 7th is not favourable. But in actual practice, more weight may be given to the view of Sri Ramanuja's Bhavartha Ratnakara. The native's spouse may bring fortunes also. Gemini ascendant : Elder brothers/sisters may not be well-disposed towards the native. The native will have expenditure on vices but may prove lucky to father. Cancer ascendant : Though Mars is capable of bestowing best results in his dasa in respect of position, lands, housing property, real estate business etc. etc. the person will suffer on account of children, may incur stomachial disorders, digestive problems etc. . He will be fiery in disposition. If Mars occupies good Navamsa position, the native may become a famous author on subjects like chemistry, surgery etc. Leo ascendant : This is a very fortunate position of Mars for a Leo native to have abundant landed properties and the like. If Mars occupies debilitation/adverse Navamsas,

Chapter 25 303

the person is susceptible to enmity with mother, may have impeded learning and the like. If Ketu joins Mars in this sign, the native enjoys very best results in the matter of pro- fession. Virgo ascendant : The native will become wealthy and will possess landed properties. He may have one younger brother/sister only. Libra ascendant : If Mars in Scorpio is aspected by Jupiter, both of them being adverse for this ascendant, the native's longevity will stand reduced con- siderably. Saturn's strength or that of Venus may prove a powerful antidote in that case. Mars in Scorpio while Libra ascending denotes two wives or loss of wife in the latter part. Scorpio ascendant : The planet Mars gives a wounded body. Scar/wound on the head may particularly be noted. This position gives two wives and addiction to other women. Though the native may enjoy fairly good health on account of Mars occasional breakdown will be experinced. Diseases likely to occur are : venereal, poisonous, bloody etc. Sagi- ttarius ascendant : The subject will be unhappy with children, be a miser, will not enjoy happiness in marriage, and will not be loyal to marital ties. Capricorn ascendant : Mars in 11th in Scorpio will give abundant education, landed/housing pro- perties, plenty of wealth, wide fame, freedom from enmity, and famous but shortlived children. Aquarius ascendant : The native will obtain very enviable position in life, be very affluent and learned. He will achieve fame as an exponent of high latitude. Pisces ascendant : Paternal bliss may be a rarity in life but the native will make enough money and be generally happy.

17-18. MARS IN SAGITTARIUS : Should Mars be in Sagittarius, the native will have many wounds, be emaciated, be harsh in speach, crafty, alienated, be a warrior endowed with chariots, elephants and armymen, will pass arrows on

301 Saravali

others' army from his chariot, be happy with hard work, will lose his happiness and money due to anger and will not honour elders.

Notes : Kalyana Varma hints at the bravery and skill of a native with Mars in Sagittarius in war-field. We may take it to be a favourable position for military men etc. instead of literally interpreting as given in our translation. The native will be highly industrious, cunning, harsh in treatment, will have an afflicted body if not literally a wounded body and his own anger will cause his fall. He wil[ not have good relation- ship with his elders (like parents) and be unhappy. This planet in Sagittarius will produce the following general effects for the 12 different ascending signs :

Aries ascendant : The native will be very famous and will enjoy position. He may not be however free from misfortunes in respect of mother and co-born. If the Moon and Mercury are strong enough to counteract the evils of Mars just men- tioned respectively, some relief will be sure to follow. Taurus ascendant : As lord of the 12th, Mars in the 8th will contri- bute to the native's longevity. This cannot be a sole factor, however, to reckon with, while the strengths of Saturn/Jupiter are more important. The native will beget a stout wife who will have an upper hand over him. His life will be miserable. Gemini ascendant : Mars in the 7th will tear of the married life into pieces. Such a native better not marry before 30 and better not with Mars dasa to come in the way. He himself may be shortlived. His brothers will evolve dirty plots against him. Cancer ascendant : The subject may achieve high position coupled with serious fall some time or the other. Progeny will be many if Mars is favourable in aspect to Jupiter or the Moon. Should Mars be otherwise, weak etc., death of children, mental diseases, financial losses and the like will manifest. Leo ascendant : The native will have brave and honourable sons (female issue is rare with this position) and will be a worthy exponent who will leave an imperishable mark behind him. He will be posthumously famous. While alive, he may not enjoy much of due fame. Should the Sun aspect Mars, the native will be a highly placed posited politician or

Chapter 25 305

army official and will enjoy great and wide respect in life. Virgo ascendant : The native will enjoy sexual pleasures in unusual manner and in deserted/lonely places. His co-born will be more attached to mother tha i he could be. The mother may be shortlived or may face marital discord. Libra ascendant : Mars promotes the life span of the native and he will be very long lived. He will receive great help through in-laws. Scorpio ascendant : Goddess Lakshmi will smile on him for ever. The native may face affliction of sight, teeth etc. He will have blg and protruding teeth while looking younger than what he is. Sagittarius ascendant : Weak body with wounds, frequent accidents/falls, spiritual attempt with failure, expenses on litigations, marital estrangement and the like will be the order of one's life (with Mars in Sagittarius ascendant). Capricorn ascendant : This position of Mars will make many other yogas defunct and the native will ever suffer from miseries. He will be a synonym of misfortune if not helped by Venus. On the other hand, if Venus gets caught by Mars from Sagittarius, a Capricorn native will land in much more adversities. Aquarius ascendant : Almost similar results will be felt as by a Capricorn native, but an Aquarian is slightly better with Mars in Sagitt- arius. He can look forward to betterment in the later part of life. Pisces ascendant : The native will be lucky in all respects, will be very rich, will enjoy numerous conveyances, landed properties and will be very respectable.

19-20. MARS IN CAPRICORN : If Mars is posited in Capricorn at birth, one will be wealthy (or fortunate), be endowed with happiness and pleasures, be wealthy, will have an escellent disposition, be famous, be an army chief or a king, will possess a good wife, be successful in war, will live in his own country, be independent, be a protector, be virtuous and will be interested in various procedures.

In the process, if Mercury and Saturn are both weakly posited, then Mars alone cannot give long life.

(If Venus or Saturn aspect Mars, these indications will still be greater.) Librans with Mars in' Capricorn will have two marriages if Venus is in Ģemini/Sagittarius.

Venus aspecting Mars as above denotes that the native will be imprisoned due to females, and will be deprived of his money on account of females, more than once. If Saturn aspects Mars as mentioned above, the native will be capable of hindering thieves in spite of his being not valorous, will be devoid of his men and will maintain another woman.

Notes : When Mars occupies his own sign in aspect to, friendly Sun, the person will enjoy all kinds of wealth. (For Aries, Leo Cancer and Scorpio, Mars related to the Moon, the Sun or' Jupiter is generally beneficial.) Mercury aspecting Mars in Aries/Scorpio will give him all bad qualites and make him go after other women. When Venus aspeots Mars in Aries/ Scorpio, the person is prone to risk through females. Saturn aspecting is congenial for becoming a police officer and the like while it contributes to illegal relationship with females.

37-42. MARS IN MERCURY'S RASI AND IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If at birth Mars be in Gemini/Virgo and in aspect to the Sun, the native will be blessed with learning, wealth and courage, be fond of hills, forests and fortresses, and be highly strong.

Notes : If Mars is in a Rasi of Mercury, i.e. either in Gemini or in Virgo, and aspected by the Sun, the native will enjoy a high degree of education, particuarly in the field of law, chemistry etc. The aspect of the Moon on such Mars is favoura- ble for positions like security officers, house governors etc. If the planets involved are with strength the positions will be superior and if weak the state relates to ordinary watchmen and the like. The aspect of Mercury can give positions like ambassador and the person can prove himself a famous writer, poet or mathematician. Pursuing astrology is also worth with

314 Saravalı

this position. Jupiter aspecting Mars thus posited is again favourable to be an ambassador or to hold senior positions in Embassies. Should Venus aspect Mars in Gemini/Virgo, one will carry out the orders of females. If the planets involed are auspicious the person will have a smooth married life. Saturn's aspect on Mars may denote miners and the like and agri- culturists. This combination adds to miseries and misfortunes.

grieved on account of woman's company, be insulted by women : and will lose wealth on account of women. Should Saturn aspect Mars in Cancer, the native will aquire money" through journey in water, be equal to a king, be sportive in his acts : and be always bright. Notes : If Mars is in Cancer and is in aspect to Jupiter, Moon or the Sun it constitutes Neechabhanga, which will con- sequently give rise to acquiring position and money. The aspect of Moon or Sun on Mars in Cancer will produce many diseases while that of Jupiter makes one averse to sexual pleasures or may give less opportunities in this direction. Should Venus aspect Mars in Cancer, it is not congenial for a happy married life and will be a cause of misunderstandings with females.

MARS IN LEO IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If Mars is in Leo at the time of one's birth, and aspected by the Sun, the native will be humble, helpful to friends, be endowed with own men, and be fond of wandering'in cow-houses, forests

316 Saravali

and hills. If the Moon aspects Mars in such a position, the native will be ominous for his mother, be intelligent, will possess a hard body, be widely famous and will obtain money through women. If Mercury aspects Mars in Leo, the native will be clever in many arts, be a miser, be skilful in poetry and fine arts and be wicked. If Jupiter aspects Mars in Leo, the person will be close to the king, be highly learned, be of pure mentality and be an army chief. Should Venus aspect Mars in Leo, the person will have union with many women, be fortunate in respect of his wife and will be ever juvenile. Saturn aspecting Mars in Leo denotes that the person will look like an old man, be poor, will wander in others' houses/be miserable.

Notes : Mars in the Rasi of the Sun if aspected by the Sun himself will confer abundant wealth. But this combination will show some affliction to heart. If the Moon aspects Mars in Leo, he will pose danger to mother particularly for Taurus and Aquarius ascendants. When Mercury aspects Mars so placed, one will become proficient in writing. Jupiter's aspect on Mars in Leo is a favourable augury in the matter of finance and posl- tion, but the native will be fiery in temperament. The diseases that may occur to him may be easy to diagnose while cure may not be fast. The aspect of Venus on Mars in Leo will help the person maintain his youth in tact while he may go after many women Saturn aspecting Mars in Leo is generally very bad but if the Lagna be one of Aquarius, Capricorn or Libra, this relationship becomes very favourable and the native will have abundant wealth and be happy. If it is mutual aspect, even Ar es and Scorpio natives will stand to benefit.

MARS IN JUPITER'S HOUSE IN ASPECT TO OTHERS : If Mars occupies Sagittarius or Pisces at birth and is aspected by the Sun, the subject will be world- honoured, be fortunate, will live in forests, hills and fortresses, and be cruel. If the Moon aspects Mars as above, the person will be deformed, belligerent. learned and be always inimical to the king. If Mercury should aspect Mars in above position, the person will be a scholar, be skilful, learned in fine arts and be highly learned in general. If Jupiter aspetcs Mars as above, the person will be devoid of wife and happiness, will be beyond the reach of enemies, be wealthy and be fond of exercises. Should Venus aspect Mars as above, the person will be very much dear to women, be interested in cosmetics, makeup etc., be charitable, be libidinous and be fortunate. If Saturn aspects Mars as above, the person will have defective body, be sinful, wandering-natured, devoid of happiness, and interested in others' religion.

Notes : Should Mars be in Pisces or Sagittarius and be in aspect to the Sun, it brings honour from the world. Recogni- tions like Nobel Prize winning etc. may follow. The position to be held by the native will have a world-wide bearing even if favourable planets like the Sun, Jupiter or Moon be in a Kendra position to Mars in Pisces or Sagittarius and will make one achieve world-level distinction. (This equally applies to Mars in Leo angular Jupiter, Moon or the Sun). Kalyana Varma attributes evil results to the Moon's aspect on Mars in a Jubiterian Rasi except that the native will be learned. Though the Moon and Mars are friendly and the position of Mars is in a friendly Rasi, the author's observation deserves significant note. This relationship causes some deformity of limb. If the

aspects are! potential, it, may be right from birth and if be meagre there are chances of proneness to deformity in some form or other at a later stage in life. Saturn's aspect on Mars in Sagittarius or Pisces also indicates some physical deformity, lack of happiness and attachment to other religions than his own. The aspect of Venus is fortunate.

Notes .: If Mars.is in Aquarius or Capricorn and is aspected by the Sun, there will be plurality of wives, many male issues and great wealth. If Mars is exalted in the ascen- dant while the Sun is in Cancer, more than one marriage is inevitable but when Aquarius rises with Mars, the Sun being in Leo as the 7th lord, it will only end with. one marriage. Mars in a Rasi of Saturn in aspect to the Moon will have an adverse bearing on mother's longevity. Mercury's aspect is unfavourable for money and profession. Should Mars in Capricorn or Aqua- rius be aspected by Mars, the native will enjoy pleasures of bed with many a woman and will be devoid of moral conduct. Saturn's aspect on Mars thus placed is auspicious for money and position while the native will not be happy in many fronts in life. He cannct maintain good relationship on family' level .- इतिंकल्याएवर्मविरचितायां सारावल्यां भौमचारो नाम पञ्चर्विशोऽव्याय:।२५। Thas ends the 25th chapter entitled "Effects of Mars in.

:1-2. MERCURY IN ARIES : If Mercury is in Aries ats the time of one's birth, the native wilh be! fond ofcbattles_(bé-

uncompromising), be very learned, wicked, emaciated, interested in music and dance, be untruthful, be attached to sexual pleasures, be a writer, will produce fictitious things, will eat much, will lose hard-earned money, will incur debts and imprisonment frequently and will be sometimes fickleminded and yet sometimes firm in disposition.

Notes : The placement of Mercury in Aries will give a tendency of stubbornness and uncompromising nature. Even at the slightest thought of sexual pleasure, the native will get deeply merged in it and will be after women. He will face frequent loss in transactions and accumulate debts, will be a good eater and a good writer as well. He will be both firm and infirm ni disposition. If there are other combinations warranting imprisonment, Mercury's position in Aries will strengthen those. The native will be more a loser with Mercury in Aries. (His occupation of Scorpio will also gīve rise to similar unfavourable results, vide sloka 15-16 infra-)

Now a glance at the results of Mercury' position in Aries while diffrent Rasis become ascendant : Aries ascendant : The native will lose his mother or father early or may live away from parents. Childhood will see frequent trouble while the later period may be prosperous if other favourables positions emanate in the radix. The native may be piously disposed. Taurus ascendant : He will not have many children, will not gain but be interested in religious activities. Gemini ascendant : He will earn abundant money but is susceptible to serious losses. He will be the eldest issue of the family which is more certain if aspected by Jupiter or Mars. Cancer ascendant : The dasa of Mercury will prove fully beneficial. Leo ascendant : There will be yogabhanga (obstruc- tion of prosperity of the native) in Mercury dasa and loss of paternal and self-made wealth in the hands of enemies and in litigations. Virgo ascendant : He will be short-lived, will face obstacles in all his undertakings and will exhaust all ancestral properties. Libra ascendant : The spouse will not be loyal to the native. The native will himself be a profligate. Scorpio ascendant : The native will prove a proficient writer, will have a long lease of life, will enjoy Rajayoga in Mercury dasa, and .

Chapter 26 321

will earn land, wealth and others' properties. Sagiitarius ascendant : He will enjoy maternal happiness, conveyances lands and learning. Father's death may be early if the Sun is not strong enough. Aquarius ascendant : He will be exceptio- nally timid, will fear speaking before public, will not main- tain good relationship with his elders and will have many sisters born after him. Pisces ascendant : He will improve his monetary position after marriage. If howcvcr Jupiter is in Libra, all earnings will be lost and he will become abrubtly bankrupt.

3-4. MERCURY IN TAURUS : Should Mercury be in Taurus, the native will be skilful, eminently liberal, be famous, will have knowledg· of Vedas and sastras, be fond of exercises, robes, ornaments and garlands, be firm in disposition, will have sincerely earned wealth, will possess a chaste wife, will be a soft and sweet speaker, and be after sexual satisfaction.

Notes : In Taurus, this planet proves very favourable in many respects, in general while adversities will depend on the ascendant and the planets aspecting. Generally speaking, the native will be skilful in the matter of association with females for carnal pleasures. The various ascendants with Mer- cury in Taurus are able to produce the following general effects:

Aries ascendant : One will suffer from some eye disease or the other. (With Saturn and Mercury in Taurus it may pro- mote dental deficiencies). He will gain through cousins and bro thers. Savings may not be much; will earn more and spend more. Taurus ascendant. He will be beautifu1, healthy, spiri- tual, learned and modest. His progenic ability will not be at stake though Mercury is impotent by nature. On the other hand, he will beget many issues. Gemini ascendant : This position of Mercury in Taurus does not confer beneficial results

322 Saravali

in its dasa but the native will be liberal and will do only good acts. Cancer ascendant : He will earn in fair ways but will sometimes incur losses. Leo ascendant : Spiritual teachers, astrologers, vedic exponents, secretarial assistants etc. will do well to have Mercury in the 10th in Taurus. The native will eain abundant fame, money etc. Virgo ascendant : He will be a source of luck to the family. His father will particularly prosper. Libra ascendant : This position denotes an ill-placed or ill-disposed father. The native will suffer absolute penury and misfortune and be sadistic. He may be shortlived. Scorpio ascendant : The native will enjoy premarital sexual relationship with many women. His marriage may consummate only with great difficulty. His elder brothers may be a source of disappointment. Sagittarius ascendant : He will not enjoy a position with powers. His wife will be sickly. Capricorn ascendant : He will have loss of children or those will be subject to frequent onslaught of diseases. Aquarius ascendant : His mother will be of questionable character unless Mercury is well-aspected. His learning will be hindered. Pisces ascendant: He will not be happy with brothers and sisters. He may have a step-mother.

MERCURY IN GEMINI : If Mercury occupy Gemini at birth, the subject will have an auspicious apearancc, will speak sweetly, be very affluent, be an able speaker, be honou- rable, will give up his happiness, will cohabit less, will have two wives, be fond of arguments, will be learned in Vedas, Sastras etc. be a poet, be independent, dear, very munificent, proficient in work and will have many sons and friends. Notes : Mercury in Gemini gives a beautiful appearance. (This is more true if the sign in question ascends.) He will have more than one marriage. He may sometimes lack happi- ness but be highly intelligent. The following are the general

Chapter 26 323

effects when Mercury is in Gemini in relation to the 12 ascend- ing signs :

Aries ascendant : The native will have more female co- borns than male. He will be highly intelligent and will have a sickly father. Taurus ascendant : He will earn plentily and save. If Jupiter from Sagittarius, is opposed to Mercury there is a risk of one's becoming poor. If malefics join Mercury in Gemini, it may be fatal. Gemini ascendant : If Mercury is alone in the ascendant, he proves very auspicious. The native will have healthy body, wealthy family, be highly intelligent, obstinate and pleasant in disposltion. (According to Bhrigu Sufras, Mercury in Gemini or in Virgo ascendant gives happiness from brothers and attainment of heavens after death.) Cancer ascendant : The native will have nothing left out of his earnings, and will be free from diseases. Leo ascendant : He will be ever happy and will earn by fair means. He will have more daughters. His children will become very famous. Virgo ascendant : One will have significant position in life, be modest and be of good conduct. For such a native association with predictive sciences can lead to prosperity. He will pursue earnings in many a way. Libra ascendant : One will have an unfortunate father who will flourish later on. Scorpio ascendant : He will enjoy a long lease of life. If Saturn joins, it will be greater. Mercury alone in the 8th in Gemini may cause obstacles in educational pursuits, open to betterment in years to come. Sagittarius ascendant : One will obtain a chaste wife but a few children. His Mercury period will confer significant prospeirty. Professionally he will be happy. Capricorn ascendant : This placement of Mercury has a mixture of both good and adverse fortunes. Sometimes it produces irreligious persons without code of conduct. Aquarius ascendant : He will have intelligent progeny and more female offspring. If Mercury receives unfavourable aspects from the nodes, Mars or Jupiter, lunacy may result. For this yoga, the strength and disposition of the Moon must be reckoned. Pisces ascendant : The 4th house indications will generally prosper. If Saturn aspects Mercury in Gemini, the nätive's wife may not get on well with the father of the native.

7-8. MERCURY IN CANCER : One born with Mercury in Cancer will be learned, will be fond of living in other count- ries, be interested in cohabiting with women and also in music, be fickleminded, prattling, inimical to his own relatives, will be fond of arguments, will lose wealth on account of einmity with women, be of bad disposition, be interested in many jobs, be a good poet and will be popular on account of the fame of his ancestors.

Notes : When Mercury is in Cancer, the person's liveli- hood may be in places other than his birth place. The native will be fond of entertainments. He will not be in good terms with his relatives. He will take pleasure in liaising with courtezans and will spend heavily on this vice. (If Cancer happens to be the 6th house with Mercury therein, i. e. Aquarius ascending, he will be a first-rate drunkard.) He takes birth in a faimly which is already popular and famous. The native's personal disposition depends greatly on the Moon in particular, and on other related planets in general. What the 12 different ascendants are capable of giving with Mercury fixed in Cancer, can be estimated from the following account.

Aries ascendant : The child causes great pains to its mother at the time of delivery and possible sickness or debility to her prenatally Normally he residens in a place adjacent to water. He will have abundant feril lands with some lltigations on accouat of them. Such natives are more unexceptional to have cardlac afflictions. Should the Sun join Mercury in Cancer, this calamity is more sure to follow. Taurus ascendant: Mercury in his dasa may sustain the prosperity given by Saturn dasa. The native's coborn may gain fom him whereas he will stand to lose on their account. Cancer ascendant : An undesirable position indeed for gocd health, for it can cause mental instability and nervous breakdown. Even dreaded

Chapter 26 325

diseases like paralysis will take birth in the life of the native, if Saturn is related to such Mercury. Leo asecndant : If Mercury is not alone but with two favourable planets in the 12th, the person will amass weath. Otherwise, there will be expenses in astronomlcal proportions. Virgo ascendant: He will gain through water and water-born products. He will either be the eldest issue of the family or will be residing with hls elder brother in sister for a long period life. Libra ascendant : If Mars joins Mercury in Cancer in the 10th for Libra ascen- dant, t'ie native's father will have fear or danger from water. Mercury alone in Cancer will denote serious trouble for mother's longevity. Scorpio ascendant : The native will not receive any help from his father. Alternatively the father may be short-lived. Sagittarius ascendant : There is a lot in want in married life and public relations. Frequent changes in livelihood are denoted by this position.

MERCURY IN LEO : Should the planet Mercury occupy Leo at one's birth, the native will not possess even bit of wisdom (कला is a bit and hence ज्ञानकला is interpreted thus), be famous in the world. be not truthful, will possess a weak memory, be wealthy, be not strong, will indulge in fratricide, be unfortunate in respect of wife, be independent, mean in conduct, be a servant, be devoid of children, be against his own race but be favourable to others.

326 Saravali

Notes : Gnana kala pariheeno has been interpreted by some commentators that the native will lack wisdom and wtll be devoid of association with arts. However, according to Kalyana Varma, the native with Mercury in Leo may lack wisdom. Even Varaha Mihira in his Brihat Jataka (ch. 18, sloka 10) uses the word s denoting absense of wisdom. Gunakara of Horamakaranda (1496 A.D.) too uses the same word in this context.

This position of Mercury, however, should be favourable for world-wide fame. The native will be unhelpful to his co- born, whether he literally kills them or not. Childern and marri- age may not give him happiness. Sometimes, there is a chance of the native not obtatning progeny at all with Mercury in Leo. His memory cannot also be of much help to him in times of requirement.

In individual cases of different ascendants, Mercury in Leo produces the undermentioned effects :

Aries ascendant : This is an ascendant which lack abso- lute wisdom with Mercury in the 5th in Leo. The subject will not have happy progeny. Taurus ascendant : This position may prove a maraka for the mother. More so in Mercury's major period. Without meaning any disrespect to the original text, we may say that the person will be intelligent and wise, for the staement originally made and rendered is only a genera- lisation. Gemini ascendant : Dryness of throat, its burning sensation, gruff/shivering voice, trembling bands etc. are some results to be considered on adverse side. There are advantages with this position of Mercury too-a fortunate parent, resources through forests etc. and lands, though uncultivable. "Vlrgo asce ndant : There will be a tendency to seek sexual gratificaiions, in unnatural ways, joblessness for a greater pert in life, emacia- ted body and poverty. If Mars joins Mercury in the 12th, blood transfusions may be occasionally required. by the Moon, the need does not arise as above. Libra ascendant : Mercury in the 11th in a dry sign as lord of the 12th and 9th may make money somc what scarce. The fortunes of the native are also susceptib- le to break downs. Should Venus join with strength, then the

Chapter 26 327

position gets quick relief. Scorpio ascendant : Though one may call it 'Amala Yoga' with Mercry in the 10th it does not prove useful to the native; on the other hand it generates some worry or the other. This baneful planet for the ascendant in question posited in Leo forebodes definite early evil to mother. She may not have any more living children following the native under consideration. Sagittarius ascendant : This position suggests tastelessness in married life and absence of progenic ability in the wife. If however she has strong disposition of 5th lord/ Jupiter and the like, this defect is greatly modified. Capricorn ascendant : The subject's eye sight will develop defects [at a very young age. Misfortunes in his life will not be uncommon. Aquarius ascendant : Though the wife may be of good disposition, she is bound to be barren or sickly. His children will, if obtained, be not very intelligent. Pisces ascendant : Married life may be long-lasting. with public relations unfruitful and strained. Inflow of money and its outflow seem to have equilibrium.

धर्म प्रियोऽतिवाग्मी चतुरः स्याल्लेख्यकाव्यज्ञः। विज्ञानशिल्पनिरतो मधुरः स्त्रोष्वल्पवीर्यश्च ॥ ११॥ ज्येष्ठः पूज्यः सुहृदां मानो विनयोपचारवादरतः। ख्यातो गुणंरुदारः कन्यायां सोमजे बलवान् ॥ १२॥ 11-12. MERCURY IN VIRGO : If Mercury occupies his exaltation sign (Virgo) at the time of one's birth, the native will be quite virtuous, eloquent, skilful, will have knowledge of writing (i. e. be an exponent) and poetry, be learned in fine/ mechanical arts, be sweet in disposition, be liked by women, be not much virile, be the eldest son of family, be honoured by virtuous, be disposed to serve others, modest, argument- ative, famous, charitable and strong.

Notes : Mercury's exaltation detracts the virility of the person, according to the original text. Obviously because this planet rules impotence in a person and its strength gives rise to more impotence. The 5th lord's position and Jupiter also stand for consideration. Remaining in Virgo, Mercury will produce following results for the 12 different ascendants :

328 Saravali

Aries ascendant : While an authority says that Mercury in the 6th in Virgo promotes debts, enemies and diseases fully, meseems this position combats these adversities. (We cannot say that these defects will be completely offset. To some extent one has to suffer these debacles with Mercury in Virgo in the 6th.) Tavrus ascendant : Should Mercury be in the 5th in Virgo, the subject enjoys excellent Rajayoga with wealth, conveyances and high position. His children may reach good status in their lives Gemini ascendant : Even if the Sun severely combusts Mercury in the 4th in Virgo, according to Jataka Parijata the person receives abundant education. He may professionally prosper Cancer ascendant : His co-born will be instrumental for his good fortunes. Mercury dasa will give only mixed results. Leo ascendant : When Mercury occupies the 2nd in exaltation, the person will be an expert t speaker, will have appealing face, will gain huge sums and will live long He will also obtain hidden wealth and be successful in competitions etc. Virgo ascendant : The native will earn abundant fame, learning and wealth. He will attain heights in life in Mercury dasa. Professionally he will remain well- placed throughout. Libra ascendant : He will spend his money on charity, religious acts etc. Mercury does not make much contribution to the native's prosperity when occupying the 12th in exaltation. Scorpio ascendant : The native will enjoy a long span of life and will earn wealth uninterruptedly. However, he is not free from troubles of general nature. Sagittarius ascendant : He will obtain a spouse of a supreme class possessing all virtues, and will enjoy great position in life. It is possible that there will be frequent debacles in earnings. His spouse can look forward to exellent under- standing with her mother-in-law. Capricorn ascendant : The native will be a synonym of fortune. Particularly his Mercury dasa will take him to enviable heights. Aquarius ascendant : Mercury will only give an oridinary yoga. Generally, such natives acquire more female children. Lives to them will be more miserable than happy with Mercury in exaltation in Virgo in the 8th. The life is of course for a long span. Pisces ascendant : Marriage will prove a beneficial contract. The latter part of Merculy dasa may inflct death.

13-14. MERCURY IN LIBRA : If Mercury falls in Libra at the time of one's birth the native wlll possess know- ledge of arts, be intent upon arguments, be an able speaker, will spend money lavishly, will have business in various directions, will honour wisemen, guests, gods and preceptors (elders), be skilful in pretending to serve others, be amiable, devoted to gods, fraudulent, fickle-minded and sometimes short-tempered and yet sometimes (notably) peaceful.

Notcs : Remaining in Libra, 'Mercury will produce following different effects according to different Lagnas.

Aries ascendant : Mercury in the 7th in Libra may give a brilliant, educated and beautiful spouse, who will also be cunning, unadjustable, sickly and lavish. Sometimes in the post-marital life, the native himself may be subjected to diseases. There is also a possibility of unhappy marriage if the Sun is simultaneously in deep fall, joining Mercury. It has been observed in our experience that the Sun/Mercury yoga in the 7th gives an Aries native marriage out of his roligion and even country. Taurus ascendant : Mercury in Libra gives worries on account of monetary problems and of children. The person may develop speech problems in the initial part of life but may become all right latter on if Jupiter is favourably placed in angle/trine. If Jupiter is not so posited while Ketu/Rahu join Mercury in the 6th, the defect is perennial. If the Ashtaka Varga bindus are not favourable in the 2nd/6th, this is all the more certain. Gemini ascendant : There may be numerous female children. The native will beget all comforts in life. Cancer ascendant : The native will receive high education, inspite of the fact that Mercury rules the 3rd and 12th. Leo ascendant : The native will enjoy fortunes through his sisters. His financial status will gradually improve

330 Saravali

throughout. During Mercury dasa there will be abundant prosperity. Virgo ascendant : There will be danger to life during boyhood, particularly for one starting with Mercury dasa. Monetarily, there will be overall satisfaction. The native proves an able speaker and earns money through his speeches etc. Libra ascendant : Birth may not be in good circumstances of the family. It is however profitable and fortunate in the middle of life. High expenditure, misfortunes to father through the native or vice versa and death in own village will result. Scorpio ascendant : This confers a long span of life while boyhood will be full of hurdles. Life will not be a bed of roses but will have a thorny path ahead with Mercury in 12th in Libra. Sagittarius ascendant : Plenty of money through ancestors and through marriage will result most of which will however be at stake. Many obstacles will have to be faced in profession and money matters. Death or trouble to an elder brother/sister may follow the native's birth. Capricorn ascendant : Very fortunate circumstances will prevail in professional sphere. They are more successful businessmen than any others. If Saturn joins Mercury effectively, one may become notable among medical men. Aquarius ascendant : Mercury in Libra willgive mixed results about one's fortune and general among prosperity. The native's birth may portend evil to father. Pisces ascendant : The subject may seek physical relationship with many women. Married life may not be satisfactory, only tending to separation. Intelligent co-born, problems relating to throat/lungs and sadistic disposition will result. One may be harsh in speech.

Aries ascendant : The subject will develop many vices and fall in bad people's company during adolescence. One will aquire an extravagant spouse. The life span will be long.

The native will bimself be unfortunate in more than one way. Cancer ascendant : The subject will enjoy abundant riches, conveyances, and learning and supreme position. One of the parents will be seriously afflicted with the birth of the native. Virgo ascendant : The native's father will prosper sigaificantly. Paternal earnings will be likely sacrificed to co-born. Libra ascendant : Dental diseases, sight defects and short life may result out of Mercury's position in Scorpio in the 2nd. Scorpio ascendant : The native's boyhood will not instil hopes of a fair longvity. He will be sickly throughout and will suffer from many diseases and from some kind of physical deformity. If Ketu joins in the ascendant, there is a possibility of lameness and unobstruc- ted thievish disposition. Sagittarius ascendant : A ruffian is born with Mercury in the 12th in Scorpio. Regardlessness for marital bonds will be more pronounced in such a native. Early death of mother is denoted by this position. Capricorn ascendant : There will be huge gains. Earnings will be made very tactfully. Aquarius ascendant : There will be ups and downs in profession but the subject will on the whole highly prosper.

Aries ascendant : There will be success over and gains through enemies, litigations, cousins etc. The native may be inimical to his father. Taurus ascendant : Frequent diseases and heavy expenditure will result. Monetarily the person is never happy. He will lack intelligence and happiness from children. His Mercury dasa will deprive him benefic effects of even the other good yogas. Gemini ascendant : He will beget a chaste, good looking and obedient wife. However, Mercury dasa may portend danger either to self or spouse. Cancer ascendant : The native may be addicted to vices. (According to our observations, when the 12th lord occupies a fiery sign, the person resorts to smoking.) Their vices may be more towards a sphere in which extra cleverness is involved. for example gambling. If Mercvry is an excellent growth of prosperity in Mercury dasa. If otherwise connected, there will be adverse results. Leo ascendant : The native will be fortunate in respect of childern and means.

the calves or thinness of legs/feet etc. may result. Scorpio ascen- dant : Financially the native is always at a loss. Occasionally gains may be there to be only overpowered by losses. Mercury dasa coinciding with boyhood may be a killer while in the later part of life this dasa may create various kinds of obstacles in domestic life.

If Jupiter or Saturn join him, the native will amass millions in modern value. Capricorn ascendant : Mercury alone in the 12th in Sagittarius will again prove quite beneficial. The father of the native may be in seperation from family. He seldom helps the native in his ad ancement.

But richness cannot go that far.
