11 Sury Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn' If instead of thesun, we keep earthas the pivotal entity then the orbital order will be: Earth, Sun, Moory Mars, )upiter, Saturry Mercury and Venus' Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets, though in reality they are simply the intersection poinls gf-ihe.plths of earth and lhe Moot. These two nodes have their fixed place in the zodiac. Rahu is the point from where the Moon starts to her northem course and Ketu is the point from where the Moon starts to her southern course. Rahu and Ketu thus are the magnetic points which have retrograde motion and arrive at the same point uft"t "n"ty L8 years. Solar and Lunar eclipses occur due to these two nodei and after every 18 years almost similar ecliPses occur. Due to uniformity of their moiion these are also the time rectifiers. Rahu-Ketu pto.rid" important clue to demarcate the exact path and location of the Moon. Due to this property, the ancients included Rahu-Ketu in the Dasa scheme. For being northern intersection point Rahu finds a place between Mars and Jupiter and being southern intersection point Ketu is placed between Mercuryind Venus. The sequence of Dasas arrived at is : Sury Moory Mars, Rahu, |upiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. Rahu finds a place after first three planets and Ketu after next three planets i.e., Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury' one interesting fact which supportsvimsottari Dasa system of L20 years is, thit, after 120 years, the Sun and the Moon are again on the same Naksatra and the lunar date is again t\e same #it *ur 120 years back. In this way Vimsottari Dasa is Trikona (trine) Dasa of lunar mansions. Whatever may F Naksatra of iirth r2o years of Dasa end at the 9ft Naksatra from the birth Naksatra. For calculation purposes we start from Aswini Naksatra and finish up at Aslesacovering 9 Naksatras. This is the first cycle involving 120 years. The 2dcycle starts at Magha Naksatra and finishes it lyurtu Naksatra. similarly the 3'd cycle starts at Moola Naksatra and finishes at Revati Naksatra. ## Page 10 12 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika The allotment of Dasa years to various planets is due to their practical visibility in the ecliptic. The planets are actually visible in the sky in the same Naksatra or in trine to it again at the expiry of their Dasa years. For example if Mars is visible now in Aswini Naksatra then after 7 years, he will be visible again in Moola i.e., exactly in trine to his basic position. Geometrically some of the planets are at the same longitude while others are in trine to it after the expiry of their alloted Dasa years. This is for their practical visibility. Thus we see that Dasa years are dependent on the practical visibility of the planet again at the same longitude or in trine to the same or trinal Naksatra. This also supports that Vimsottari Dasa system is a Tiikona Naksatra Dasa system. ## Page 11 3% afi at?, yrurqlt Preliminaries ffi vJ-drd rrGlqa:t vM rrt: ffi( *unwganqt11l 11 we worship a great effulgence - in the form of saraswati - one final principle proilaimed in the Upanishaoas i.e., Parabrahman- the dlity wio is the worthy consort of God Brahma - the Goddess who is ied lipped and holds Veena in her hand' Notes - It has been customary among authors of Sanskrit and Astrological works to invoke the blessings of their family deity or the d6ity ruling the subject under discussion.

15 Notes - UdudayaPradeepa seems to be the name assigned to this text by the author of this work. Udu means star, Naksatra or constellation while Daya means Dasa or the period. Thus the name implies a lamp clarifying and enlightening the readers with the principles of Ududasa system or Vimsottari Dasa system of Maharishi Parasara. As the author followed the principles of Parasari Hora therefore this short work became famous as Laghu Parasari after the name of Maharishi Parasara. There existed a vast literature on astrology in the form of works called Horas and Samhitas like- 1. Skanda Hora,2. Saunaka Hora,3. Brihat Prajapatya Hora, 4. Manittha Hora, 5. Kaushika Hora,6. Satya Samhita, T. Brihat Parasara Hora, 8. Garga Hora etc. The existence of these Floras is mentioned in the commentaries of Bhattotpala and other commentators. Parasara Hora was held inhigh esteem in ancient times and some recensions of this Hora are available even today. According to verse tR-d c{Rrfr Qdl Parasari Hora is further acclaimed to be suitable for prediction purposes in Kaliyuga. This is particularly true for Vimsottari Dasa system out of the various Dasa systems mentioned there in. The author seems to elaborate Dasa principles exhaustively in the Slokas further to enhance the predictive skills of the readers and followers. And this small work has stood to the test truly in this respect since its inception. Importance of Naksatra Dasa- qfr{ri{ qqrir Evn rrfltur @l qvn tdvtstrfr iarr urflr qrffi carll 3ll We clescribe here how to know future trends following the Naksatra Dasa system. Through out this work principles relate to Vimsottari Dasa and not to Astottari Dasa. Notes-Various kinds of Dasas are found mentioned in Parasara Hora and other ancient treatises, viz; Vimsottari, Astottari, Kalachakra, etc. to mention a few. ## Page 14 16 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika Some Dasas are based upon stars (reckoning from birth star), examples being Vimsottari and Astottari Dasas. Some are based upon the strength of planets, some on thc Rasis and so on. Though Astottari is also a kind of Naksatra Dasa, but the author cautions us not to use the principles enunciatecl ltcre in context of Astottari Dasa. Thus the rules set forth in this book ore'to be used only in context of Vimsottari Dasa alone. There are no ifs and buts for thc usc of Vimsottari Dasa while Astottari, Sodashottari Dasa ctc. art' tietl by certain birth conditions viz; Astottari Dasa is to b,t'atlopted under following planetary configurations and conditiotrs. (a) Rahu be in the 4tl', Stl', 7'h,9'h, or 10'r' placc from the Lagna lord. (b) Birth be in the day in dark half or irr tlrc night in bright half. The full longevity of humarr bcing is cotrsiclcred 120 years as the Sun and the Moon come to thc samc' position re'lative to each other after 120 Nirayana years i.c'. the llindu datc (Tithi) is the same again and the Naksatras of the Sutr atrrl the Moon are again the same. Astottari Dasa is of 108 yei.lrs, Sotl.tsottari of 116 years, Dwadasottari of LL2 years and all thc:.,' lall sltort <tf 120 years, the supposed full longevity of huntan bt'ing. ln Vrgini Dasa the span is of 36 years and the cycle starts again after every 36 years, which is absurd. For the above reasons, Rajayogas, longevity, maturity years of planets, progeny, marriage, bad tinres arrd other life related events match in a goocl propttrtion ttl the year allocations of Vimsottari Dasa while otltcr l)irsas arc disproportioned in this respect. Above all Vimsottirri D;rstr has been found to be near to perfection by the knowleclgcablc in astrology. A note on the calculations of Vimsottari Dasa- Divide the birth Naksatra by 9 counting from Krittika Naksatra (excluding Abhijit Naksatra). The number as remainder signifies, the Dasa falling at birth, in the following order- Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. In short we can take as. S, M, Ma, Ra, Ju, Sa, Me, Ke, V. ## Page 15

17 For this sequence there is a reasoning which we have discussed in introduction briefly. The first sequence in the table below starts from Krittika Naksatra which is ruled by the Sun and ends at Poorva Phalguni ruled by Venus, means, if the Moon is in Krittika at birth, the Dasa at birth is of the sun. Following table will illustrate Vimsottari Dasa Chart D.tr lsd 5un Moon Mars Rahu Jupiter Srtun Ucrcur) K.tu Vcnug fcart 6 10 7 18 16 19 \7 m Elrtr Nekltrr Krlttlk!

Shada Sravana Dhanishta S.Bhisha P.Bhadra U.Bhadra Revati Aswini Bharani Example - Suppose the Moon is just entering Chitra Naksatra at birth, then the native will have a balance of 7 years of lvtrars's Dasa at birth. But such would not be the case always, if it occupies, some intermediate degree then the balance of Dasa has to be calculated by the method of proportions. SuPpose the Moon has covered 3o-20' in Chitra Nakshatra, the balance of Mars's Dasa atbirthwouldbe 5years and3 months. Theformula for calculating Dasa balance is : Dasa Balance =@ x Dasayrs. of Naksatralord. (13'-20) Again, as an examPle, suPPose the Moon's longitude is 46o at birth. Then she is in Rohini Nakshatra ruled by the Moon. Rohini extends from 40o to 53o-20o i.e. the Moon is yet to traverse 7o-20'in Rohini. Degrees yet to be traversed in Rohini = (53o-20' - 46") =70 -20' = M0' But 13o-20'= 800' .'. From the formula, the Moon's Dasa balance at birth = # x 10 years = 5 years, 5 months. Calculations of Bhukti periods Suppose we want the Bhukti Period of planet B in the Dasa of planet A. The formula is : ## Page 16 18 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandriha Bhukti Period of B = A's Dasa period x B's Dasa period 120 In the example above in Moon's Dasa first Bhukti will be of the Moon. .'.

Rahu's Bhuk" 1o x L8 ti =ff=lyear,6months Jupiter's Bhukti = tt;Ju = 1yeaq,4 months saturn's Bhukti = tHdtn ='!. year,7 months and so on upto the Sun's Bhukti: Now for calculating the Bhukti at birth, the Moon has already crossed (10 years - 5 year and 6 months) i.e. 4 years and 6 months remain as balance. The total of Bhuktis upto Jupiter's Bhukti above is 4 years and 3 months. This means that the native has experienced3 monthsof Saturn's Bhukti also intheMoon's Dasa. In other words the native born is running the Dasa of the Moonwith a balance of 4 years and 6 months including a balance of 1. year and 4 months of Saturn's Bhukti. Bhuktis yet to be followed in the Moon's Dasa will be of Mercury, Ketu, Venus and the Sun to be calculated as above. Similarly, Pratyantar Dasa can be calculated ih each Bhukti. For more elaboration on Dasa calculations readers may go through our "Secrets of Vimsottari Dasa". The years and months calculated above are based on solar year therefore it is necessary to adjust the Dasas and Bhuktis with the dates of the solar year or in consonance with the Sun's degrees of birth. Phala Deepika (19/4) is very clear in this respect- iil,i ## Page 17 Lagh u Parasari-Jataka Chand ri ka r|qqz m;qri sqrfr( 6ffiqsffi3s eil{trrr: sr{ E{ilqiF.ni, wmqqilRqqr; $fi@ff3lt For this reason astrologers add degrees etc. of the birth Sun to the Dasa balances at birth to arrive at degrees of the Sun at the end of the Dasa or degrees of the Sun at the next Dasa or Bhukti's begirrning. English dates are almost equivalent to solar motion in this respect and Dasa commencing and ending may be represented in English dates. Readers should avoid falling into controversy of 30-31 days but can do well by adjusting or writing the English dates according to the Sun's degrees. About General Know How- E*qfdwq: q* tm, Tmlrewlrsfi:l qoetrurTfliur t'dr Etr frfrtkr:u arl Followers of Parasari system can get proficiency regarding planets and twelve houses from other works based on Parasari systern. From here onwards we are going to depict nomenclatures, technical terms and principles which are peculiar to Naksatra Dasa system (Vimsottari Dasa system) according to Parasara Hora Sastra. Notes-The author by the wordgffi seems to declare that this work is not for new entrants in the field of astrology but supposes that his readers have knowledge about houses, planets, signs and other details available in other standard works on astrology like Brihatfataka, Phala Deepika, Jataka Parijata and Brihat Parasara Hora Sasha etc. All these works are available from 1\4/s Ranjan Publications. Some of the topics which are to be learnt from these work are : 1. Houses and their significations, 2. Nature of the signs, 3. Planets and their nature,4. Vargas like Navamsa, Drekkana, Hora, Trimsamsa etc., 5. Chandra Yogas, 6. Rajayogas, 7. Stri Jataka or Female Horoscopy, 8. Ayurdaya or longevity etc. Some general indications of various houses are: 1. The 1't house represents physical body and strength, happiness and sorrows, contours, complexion, character etc. 19 ## Page 18 20 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika 2. The 2"d house represents face, speech, wealth and possessions, right eye, Maraka effects etc. 3. The 3'd house represents courage, mental inclinations, coborns, short journeys, ear etc. 4. The 4ft house represents mother, happiness, conveyanges, house, landed properties etc. 5. The 5th house represents intelligence, Atman and subconcious motivation, children, merits etc. 6. The 5h house rePresents enemies, theft, debts, diseases, cuts and wounds, miseries, disappointment etc. 7. The 7ft house represents sPouse, marriage, trade, travel, blame, impediments, Maraka effects etc. 8. The 8ft house represents longevity, death and its cause, insult, sorrows, impediments, chronic illnesses, legacies, wills, goods of the dead etc. 9. The 9ft house indicates charities, goodliness, righteousness, preceptor, grand childrery religion, father, long journeys etc. L0. The L0th house indicates profession, rank, honour' success, means of livelihood, day to day activities etc. 11. The L1h house indicates gains, elder brother, friends, Soup associates etc. L2. The 12th house indicates expenditures, misery,loss, waste etc. Similarly, an astrologer should be well versed in the knowledge of ownership of the signs, quadruplicity and triplicity of signs, masculinity and feminity of signs, directions repesented by the signs, Badhaka-sthanas for movable, fixed and common sig.rt us the Lagna, Karkatwas of planets, planets as Karakas of various houses, bad houses, planetary states like Deepta, Mudita etc. The knowledge of Panchanga or ephemeris is very essential. The author wants his readers to use the above knowledge in this work too, but the auspicious and inauspicious nature of if rt ## Page 19

21 planets differ here from their natural benefic and malefic nature. A cruel planet in normal course may become an auspicious in this work under certain conditions. Similarly, a cruel or malefic planet's aspect may be for the good under the conditions. Here is where Dasa-Bhukti predictions differ from general predictions for a nativity. The cruelity and gentleness of the planets will have to be decided according the principles laid down in this work. Man's character, family conditions, status, authority fall under the domain of general prediction which by and large depend on the natural characteristics of signs and planets and their relations among themselves and the peculiar conditions mentioned above. A man has to struggle in this world to pregerve his rights and status, and to achieve something worth while further. During the course, he finds opportunities, when he effortlessly advances and other times inspite of his best efforts, he does not succeed in his endeavours and suffers set back. It is this Dasa system which can guide a person, for which time is favourable and which one is unfavourable. Astrologers have devised many kinds of Dasa systems according to the best of their knowledge and wisdom, for one to be aware of conducive and inconducive times ahead, out of them Udu dasa system or . Vimsottari Dasa system is the best and applicable at all times. The natal planets in a nativity bestow good or bad results according to their strength, placement and otherwise, which are the permanent results for a nativity. The same planets by their motion in transits and in their Dasas depict the favourable and unfavourable times, the predictions can only be said to be complete when we arrive at theresultant effects to be produced by the natal significations of planets and Dasa periods. For more convenience we can include the transit of planets also. Therefore the author stresses here that while predicting by Vimsottari Dasa system, the astrologer should also keep in mind Bhava or house results. In Naksatra Dasa system or Vimsottari Dasa system planets are termed auspicious or inauspicious or evil according to their ## Page 20 22 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika house or Bhava lordships e.g., in Vimsottari Dasa system the Ll.th lord is termed inauspicious but it does not mean that he will always be bad for income. An exalted planet in the 11th house or its lord in exaltation produces a Yoga for much income but the 11ft lord will not produce good results in his Dasa particularly or will produce evil results, unless he is associated with the lord of a trine or Trikona house. In this way we have to proceed for Dasa results. The Bhava or house results are the permanent results occuring always, while the Dasa results are temporary and pertain to good or bad for the tirne being. Dasa results are indicative only of the conducive or irconducive times during the Dasa. In Dasa system, it is only Rasis or signs which are vital and we do not have to follow Chalit chart or Bhava chart. If Cancer rises at birth then Leo will be on the 2"d house, Virgo on the 3rd and Libra on the 4'h and so on. In Dasa system all planets will have to get some house lordship compulsorily.In a Bhava chart it sometimes happens that a sign may extend to two house cusPs while the other sign may not fall even on a single house cusP' These divisions are man made and are not to be found in the heaven. Therefore our Maharishis did not acknowledge it. Aspects of planets - qwFil €Ri TA vmr+*5wr: $'t: I ffitrtrq ffiur E({wq3151; All the planets aspect the 7th house counted from them. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars also have special aspects. Saturn aspects the 3d and L0'h houses also in addition to his 7h house aspect. Jupiter aspects the 5s and th houses also in addition to his 7th house aspect. And Mars asPects the 4ft and 8'h houses also in addition to his 7h house aspect from himself. Notes - A planet gives results of the houses he owns/ occupies as well as tesnlts of the house/houses he aspects. The aspect of a planet has same intensity and value as is the occupation of a house by that planet. About aspects Brihatlataka(2/13) opines: ffi ur+gr*rwqrr+ot6qrfr qtunfrr{ka : t rffi-q{nfir: qt q { mqqi rrqfr fdnd dq{dsftrdrl:tt ]t ;liir . s ## Page 21 23 Lag h u Pa rasa ri -J ataka C h and ri ka All the planets cast a quarter glance at the 3d and 10h houses; half a glance at the 5th and 9th; three quarters of a glance at the 4th and 8th; and a full glance at the 7th house from them. Saturn is e'xceedingly powerful when he casts his glances at the 3"r ancl -l0tr' houses. Jupiter is very auspicious in his glances at the 5th and 9tr' houses. Mars is potent in his glances at the 4th and 8th houses. Now, what is special about the special aspects? Saturn is the planet of labour and manual work. The 3'd being the house representing courage, mental out look and arms which combined with manual work do produce something worth while. The L0th is the house of profession and advancement in profession can be achieved by persistant efforts and labour, the attribut0s of Saturn. Jupiter, the greatest fortune aspects the 5ft and the 9th houses. The Sth is the house of sub-consciousness and Poorvapunya i.e. force of previous good deeds; the 9th is the house which manifests through the aid of father, preceptor and righteousness. Jupiter's own placement indicates the area most potent in the chart. Thus a tripod of houses is formed which are most potent in the chart according to the inherent nature and strength of Jupiter for that particular horoscope. Mars being the war lord or the lord of death has got full aspect on the 4th or the house of grave and the 8th or the house of death. In this work only full aspects including the special aspects of Saturn, jupiter and Mars have been considered. No weight is given to partial aspects like one-fourth, half, three-fourth aspects. The planetary results are greatly modified by the power of aspects. In natal astrology the aspects of benefics, like Jupiter, Venus, strong Moon and Mercury (unassociated with malefics) produce good and enhance the good results of the houses over which they fall. They also tone down the evil nature of the malefic ## Page 22 24 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika planets aspected by them. Western astrological aspects are different from Hindu aspects. The westerners find out the angle between the aspecting and aspected planets or the angle between the aspecting planet and the cusp of the house, receiving the aspect. Major western asPects are : 1. Conjunction : When two planets are at the same longitude' When two planets are 180o aPart. 11." two planct'":" jlt" apart. Equal declinatio"' trT;""ts fro.r', the celestial equator, either north or south. It has the sarne effect as a conjunction has. The orbs allowed for conjunction, square, opposition and trine are 8o. For sextile 7o ancl for parallel 1o. Thus the influence of a trine aspect will start when the angle is 120o - 8o=1'12o and will .gradually increase till it is maximum at 120'. Then it decreises till the effect is almost nil after 1'20o + 8o = 128o In western astrology nature of the aspect depends uPon the angle, usually multiples of 60o are good and multiples of 45o are bad. In Hindu astrology nature of the asPect depends upon the nature of planets in aspect. The aspects of a planet has powerful influ-ences next only to his occupation and combination and are extremely important in the judgement of a horoscope. In western astrology conjunction is good or bad according to the inherent nature of the planets; square or 90o aspect is a bad and deteriorating aspec| 180o or opposition is a complementary aspect, if followed well can be a good one; pu.uil"l also works according to nature of the planets and trines and sextiles are harmonious even between planets of opposite nature and character. The two planets try to enhance each others characteristics and significations. 2. Opposition 3. Trine 4. Square 5. Sextile 6.

Notes-Which are the Tiikona houses? Actually, the 1't, Sth and 9,h are the Trikona houses. For this we have the foll0wing Slokas: FFq-gffi frqq'{t fqtml:l fir{rtrqqqpq{q Eiq s{il frtffirt The L*,4\ 7h and 10ft houses are called Kendras or quadrants, while houses 5,h and 9,h counted from the Lagna have the name Tlikonas or trines. Contrary to this, we haveffiun 3rft ffi dftrqdRfq: t meaning 1st, 6'th and 9'h are the Trikona houses' But Saravali, jataka Parijata and many other commentators take only 5th and 9th houses as Tiikona houses. Jataka Parijata says Gril-( ffi"r "-qq TE ffi ql Pt. Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala', also known as Betala Sastri was a great siholar of astrology and belonged to Kashi (Varanasi). He says sr-l fudntul ct{....... drirzl u-aq q gqdt i.e. the Lagna is not to be included in Trikona because Lagna in his opinion is more auspicious. Sri Sastri at a later stage opinesq F {$I F*Il-dr qrqftflqilsfr d€qq i.e. the lord of Lagna becomes auspicious even if he owns the 8th house. Again at a later stage Sri Vinayaka Sastri says that the Lagna is to be included under Trikona' Pandit sita Ram Jha a commentator and great scholar of astrology is of the opinion that the Lagna sho.uld be included in Trikona. In his opinion in the 1"a1yse1dfif,frtul'idR: is used which is plural denoting three or more. If the text would have meant onlv for the 5th and 9tr,, then the word ffi woulcl have ## Page 24 26 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika been used as has been done under sloka 8 of the text as er{qFqffraTil, which is used for two as dual in Sanskrit in a sense plural. Moreover the word t{stur means three angles and the L't, 5'h and 9'h houses form three vertices of an equilateral triangle. If only the 5th and 9s houses are to be included why should the word ffiq firikona) be used? So Pt. Sita Ram |ha strongly argues that the Lagna should invariably be included under the caption of firantq or trine. He further quotes why these places are held auspicious : f€r-qrdt Tt tffir Arisfr qrgdr{r qffiq srgd qrgr+ffi gr+irr ' Yrfri q qi zrgr s srg: qfgs'qdl qrr Yrt(cl€ild ilgr( iKftrq: {H:tl ffid qCqrdsfm f+srqqrq gnfrr:l ilsrE dq'firq-*{ T6r: Trd {lqeqr:tl Even a bad person by being educated and doing meritorious deeds or being involved in acts of philanthropy becomes a noble person. Education and philanthropy or Dharma being denoted by the 5'h and 9'h houses, unsurprisingly even malefic planets owning these houses should turn out to be benefics. A man who keeps his body under control is called a saint due to his virtues. The Lagna denotes the body, therefore the lord of Lagna is auspicious under all conditions. The 5th house is the house of Poorvapunya or merits acquired due to deeds of one's previous birth and the 9th house denotes Dharma or meritorious qualities acquired due to his father's or preceptor's initiation. So by becoming lords of these three houses all the planets become auspicious and yield good results. Again : Siltq{frcgTfrEtfrguqrfrqffiqt From the 5th house one should judge matters regarding one's deity, Rajayogas, childrery wisdom and merits inherited from previous birth. Now why are the lords of 3"i, 6'h and 11'h (Thi, Shada and Ayaa houses) are terrned as evil producirig? The clue is given in ## Page 25 Lag h u Parasari -Jataka Ch and ri ka the following verses by Pt. Sita Ram |ha. 27 3dl-{tr: c{iF.d Srsfr vr{qtsft 1d mt qltitfr qce'Rrfqfd #sfr Er+itt irSTl-(F|r6463 $ury; gIgT qT trqi q{:l ftqglqlfi{qd{ vd sFItFttsKI:ll If a person acquires income all the time or be excessively strong and valorous or be an enemy, then though he being a noble inherently, turns out to be an evil person. The lords of the 3nr,6rth and lLth houses denote above characteristics. Therefore it is natural for the lords of these houses to be endowed with these characteristics though they may be natural benefics. Sajjanaranjani-a commentary on Laghu Parasari gives few excepfi,ons regarding the lords of the Jrd, (,th and LLth houses- (i) If the lords of the Jrd, (,th and L1th houses occupy these very houses as owners respectivel/, they produce good. We know that the 3'd, 6'h, 10th and lLth houses are Upachayasthanas (or houses of income) and malefics also do some good natally when being placed in these houses. But as far as the Lagna is concerned, in relation to them, the evil nature of the planets might continue. (ii) A planet is Swastha when occupies his own house or sign. Pliata Deepika ascribes good results in the Dasa of a Swastha planet. It will be wise to weigh and consider the pros and cons of the rules and their exceptions before arriving at final conclusion. (iii) Virgo is termed as own sign of Rahu, and therefore if Virgo falls at the cusp of the Sth or 9th house, Rahu becomes a benefic being owner of a Trikona house. These special points are, however not found in other classics and therefore their acceptibility is open to doubt. Every planet except the Sun and the Moon owns two signs; otr" e.ret and the other odd. Out of the twelve houses of a horoscope, six are even and the remaing six are odd. The Trikonas ## Page 26 28 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika i.e. the 1st sth and 9'h houses are odd when the Lagna is an odd sign. If the Lagna is even, then even signs are identical to the 5th and 9th houses. Thus Tiikona lords can never be the 3'd and l.L,n house lords. In the Sloka it (sR) word has been used in the context of evils of Tiishadayadhisas i.e. the lords of the 3d, 6m and 1Lft houses then the meaning of the Sloka would be"If. in a horoscope all the Trishadaya lords be evil then all the Tiikona lords be auspicious". qR word is not to be interpreted that way. The correct interpretation of ?R word would be "The Trikona lord is auspicious but if he happens to be a Tiishadaya lord (6th lord) then such a Trikona lord is not fully auspicious but is a blemished auspicious planet". The auspiciousness of the Trikona lord lies in the fact that he should not be the 5th lord. A Trikona lord can never be the 3rd or llth lord has been discussed earlier here. The auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the Trikona or Trishadaya lords here is only valid till they are not related to other house lords. \A/hat will be the results if these two are related to other house lords will be described in the chapter named Yogadhyaya. Susloka Sataka a south Indian treatise based on Laghu Parasari also confirms the above view in Sloka 14. ffiunRrddfte ri(feqgrqq:r qts-gfi. q g tq-iq: vtr{Kg}ff,(t I If the lord of a Trikona or a Kendra becomes the lord of 3'd, 6th or 1l.th house at the same time, then according to Sage Parasara he should be considered as having acquired the blemish. Sri Vinayaka Sastri says that when the other sign of tikona lord falls in the 66 or 8'h houses, then they should be understood in the following order. A benefic Tiikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6m or 8th house at the same time should be treated as somewhat auspicious. A malefic Trikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6th ## Page 27

29 or 8th house at the same time then he should be treated as somewhat inauspicious. Characteristics of the Lords of Kendras- q frvrFil W lulr *tqr: ffiqr: qRt If benefics planets are the lords of Kendras (quadrants), they do not yield good results. If malefic planets own Kendras, they do not yield bad results. Trikona lords i.e., the lords of the 1",5\ and 9e houses become stronger increasingly. Tiishadaya lords i.e., the lords of the 3d, 6th and L1th houses also observe or follow the same trend. Notes-In the preceding sloka we studied the nature of Tiikona and Tiishadaya lords. Here the nature of the lords of Kendras is being told. Natural malefics are the Sun, Saturn and Mars. Natural benefics are Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon. Benefics by owning quadrants do not yield good results. But it does not mean they become inauspicious, rather they lose their beneficence and behave as neutrals. Similarly, natural malefics by owning quadrants or Kendras do not yield evil results. But it does not mean they become auspicious, rather they lose their maleficence and behave as neutrals. The weak Moon and malefic associated Mercury are termed similar to malefics by some commentators' They term the strong Moon and Mercury (alone or combined with benefics) as benefics and quote authorities like Brihat fataka in their support, It would not be out of place to mention that the Moon is weak from the 8'h day of dark half or Krisna Paksa to the 76 day of the bright half or Sukla Paksa. Again, are we to include the tagna in Kendras or not ? Differences of opinion ponder over this. Earlier it was pointed out that Sri Vinayaka Sastri excludes the Lagna from Tiikonas at one place but at a later place he includes the Lagna in tikonas. ## Page 28 30 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika According to Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra dr{EqtFdfu+ci d;( €ilr frftrdl i.e., the name Kendra pertains to the 1"',4'h,7th and LO'h houses. Sri Vinayaka Sastri writes. *+qtt qEe*gqtTffri{rrtxq:r i.e., the 4th,7th and l,0th houses stand for the word Kendra. According to Pt. Sita Ram jha, earlierly the characteristics of tikonas were told, therefore the Lagna being included in that scheme of planets, here we remain concerned with the 4th,7th and LOth houses as Kendra houses. He quotes further : q-sr Td {q quq' trc' qrsfr atFnrl ffi €qrq d A fr 116rr;rrpr{tr:tl m{r( n-ff}{l-di {tTI +q Err weqr srqr: sHs-f, *q tqfldrd qfiqe{rr One who is endowed with all kinds of comforts, kingdom and beautiful women forgets his own nature, for the mind being engaged in these comforts. This is a common feature in this material world. The above comforts are denoted by the 4th, 1g't' and 7th houses. It is therefore quite understandable and natural for the lords of these houses to forget their own inherent nature. The part of the sloka suggests that the houses or house lords of the same character become stronger than the previous one as they come later i.e., the L't, 4'n,7h and 10th houses and their lords become stronger in the ascending order. So does the 1."t, 5'h and 9th houses and their lords. So also the 3'd, 6th and 1l.tr'houses and their lords become stronger in the ascending order. This is in respect of their qualities to do good or evil in Dasa context. Another important point of difference of opinion on the part of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri is thus-lf the lords of the 3'd,6'r'or lLth houses are benefics, they will not lose their auspicious nature. He writes ttcntkt: {qHi ffi ggl-qrrd{rr€' r gfrrfq-dl Further he says, the benefic lords of the 3'd, 6th and LLth are more beneficial than benefics owning Kendras. dddrqk$grqrfr{i 1iMqfiw*tdvmr' Urdr sr*s(t t But the lords of the 5th and 9'h are more beneficial than the Tiishadaya lords and the lords of ## Page 29

31 Kendras. Such interpretations are totally at variance with thosc of others and may present certain difficulties in the interpretation of Slokas relating the effects of the lords of houses for certain ascendants. These are the areas whichrequire certain amount of research and elaboration. In the earlier Sloka to this we were told that a tishadaya lord be'he a natural benefic or malefic works for the evil in Dasa context and a planet becomes auspicious b! owning Trikona house. The author in this sloka tells about the way a lord of Kendra behaves. If natural benefics be Kendra lords then to give auspicious results, they should also be lords of Tiikonas. So is also the case when natural malefics become lords of quadrants. If Kendra or quadrant lords are to become evil, they should own Trishadaya houses i.e., the 3'0, 6ft and 1lft houses additiorially. Auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of a planet is not caused just due to ownership of a Kendra. The word ztR here implies that no planet causes good or evil simply by owning a Kendra. The 12th sloka of the text denotes-Eqs s-ftild Tgffir {sr*rfc*lt ffi @ q qtftrrqgd:lt ForKarka orCancerlagna,natural malefic Mars becomes the 10th lord and is supposed to be auspicious in Dasa context for not being a Kendra lord but due to his lordship of the Sth house, a tikona. To show the inertness of Kendra lord to do good or evil, the above Sloka has been put in the text and confirms that a Kendra lord is neither for the good nor for the evil. The Lagna is the primary Tiikona as well as Kendra. It is therefore, the Lagna lord (a Kendra lord) becomes auspicious by owning Lagna as Trikona only. But if he also owns the 6s, a Trishadaya house, he produces evil. Mars owns Scorpio Lagna, his evil is less than Mars (the 6ft and 11s lord) of Gemini Lagna where he is twice evil. Evil of Scorpio Lagna's Mars is even less than Saturn (the 6th and 7th lord) of Leo Lagna, for Mars also owns a Trikona, the Lagna. The Lagna lord being lord of Kendra and Trikona becomes Rajayogakaraka or greatly auspicious. Mercury is Rajayogakaraka for Gemini and Virgo Lagnas. So is ## Page 30 32 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika )upiter for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas. The auspiciousness is because a Kendra lord also owns a Tiikona i.e., the Lagna. The 4th, 7th and 1,0th houses are Kendra houses, the Sun and the Moon ownining these become neutrals and become auspicious by owning the 4th Kendra, the Lagna only because it is also a Trikona. The 7'h house is the 3rd Kendra and according to the text it is a Maraka or death inflicting house and its lord is called a Maraka.Anaturalbenefic becominga Maraka by owning the 7th house is not good. The 7th house being an odd house, therefore none of its lord can be a Trikona lord and hence its lord cannot be auspicious. The 7'h lord can only be 6'h lord (he cannot own the odd 3'd or Ll,th house) and hence he is evil. The 7th lord can also be the 8'h lord, then he is dreadful. The 7th lord Saturn can only be the 6th or 8h lord and no other 7s lord can own a Trishadaya or Tiikona house. Saturn is the only planet who can become the 6th or 8'h lord being the 7th lord. Therefore excepting Saturn all the planets being lords of the 7th house remain neutral. But as Marakas the benefics as the lords of the 7th are inauspicious. It will be explained ahead. For Scorpio Lagna Saturn is neutral being the 4th lord but resultantly inauspicious by owning the 3d house also. In contrast Venus is more malefic for Cancer Lagna as he owns the 4th and L1h house and according to r-dcTt{dftdq Ll"th lord is more evil than the 3rd lord. For Leo Lagna Saturn lording the 6th and 7th is more evil than Venus who lords the 10th and 3rd houses. For Gemini Lagna Mars owning the 6th and Llth houses is deadly evil. Similarly Mercury for Scorpio Lagna is twice evil if he does not occupy the 8th house. The 8th lord in the 8th eradicates the evils of the 8th lordship, it will be discussed later. Saturn is more auspicious for Taurus Lagna than for Libra Lagna as he lords the strongest Kendra, the L0th house and the strongest Tiikona the 9'h house for Taurus Lagna; the 9th and 10th lord is stronger than the 4'h and 5'h lord. For Leo Lagna, Venus and Saturn both own Kendras and Trishadayas but Venus owns the 3"r house while Saturn owns the 6'h house besides both ## Page 31

33 owning Kendras. Due to ownership of Kendras both become neutral but the 6'h house being more evil than the 3'd house, therefore Saturn is more evil of the two. For Scorpio Lagna Saturn is more evil than Mars. The reason is that Mars though owning a stronger Trishadaya is also the lord of a Tiikona (the Lagna) which considerably reduces the evil of the 6'h house but Saturn is purely a Trishadaya (the 3'd) lord and neutral being the 4th house lord. An evil Ti'ikona lord is always less malefic than an evil Kendra lord. For Cancer Lagna Jupiter is certainly less inauspicious than Venus and Saturn. Similarly for Capricorn Lagna Mars is more evil than Mercury. Before arriving at the final judgement, the position of the concerned planet i.e., debilitation, inimical or friendly house placement, exaltation etc. has to be seen. This is very important as this book professes to teach the additional points peculiar to Parasara system. As was pointed out *+r; qFil-;zrvn€Td:, the principles of other works should be understood and must be augmented by the principles propounded in this book. Astrology is a vast ocean and a number of works have to be learnt for acquiring proficiency, as Varaha Mihira says: s[ifi-6t{?rdn; ffigP1-6]fi4q; I wrd-av-{: |vgl.d qgrfd qril.o-*. Also, the study of classical works must be supplemented by patient research and experience. The grace of God and preceptor's blessings essentially pave the way for making precise predictions. Numerical evaluation of the planets owing various houses- This method was advocated by Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha the author of Phalit Vikas. Sri Ojha was a bold and erudite scholar of astrology, who bravely criticised even Varaha Mihira in his Phalit Vikas for adopting the system of Yavana's divisional charts prevalent now having set aside our own ancient system. He was the head of the department of astrology at Kashi Hindu Vishwavidyalaya. Here is the method : ## Page 32 34 Kendra Houses Lag h u Parasari'J ataka Ch an d ri ka Good results + 1 Point + 2 points + 3 r l . + 4 r l Good results + 1 point + 2 points + 4 r l Bad results - 1 point - 2 points -3 t - 6badPoints 0 points 0 r l

Another point would be the aspect received by the planet. since these are not taken into account, the method only gives a rough estimate of the nature merely based on the ownershiP of houses' ## Page 33 Lag h u Pa rasari -Jataka C hand ri ka Results of 2nd and 12th house Lords- Hr{r{ qqFdfrfu ft qtwf qrrqda: I 35 F[rrrd{r{gu+{ qqil: qi?rEr{rft\ll 8ll The 2nd and 12s houses lords from the Lagna give results according to the nature of planets they are conjoined with or according to the houses they occupy or according to the nature of the houses identical with their other signs. , Notes-So far we have discusssed the nature of the lords of Kendras and Tiikonas. The nature of the lords of the 2nd and 12th houses is being discussed in this Sloka. These two houses are adjacent to the Lagna, 2nd is just after it and 12th immediately preceding it. The natures or characteristics of these two house lords are to be decided by their associations and the houses identical with their other signs. If the planets are placed in friendly signs, exaltations etc they produce good. If they are in good planetary states like Deepta or Mudita etc they produce good othewise bad. As is said: tq: strr: xgfl<a: vnd fnsfuE:ftrd:l fqq,€tr qe: intfi, rqqr ffi qi(tt @ffet; ffi {q: FR4r: edsftrfrrrtr Em, furi Tnir: qqq {r Yqtr,, vrat srfua: ffi tq-*e: qrcsgat reltr: umfd' *q: qtfr err#ga:tt This is according to other texts on natal astrology not according to this text. The 2nd and 12th lords inherently are neither evil nor auspicious but are neutrals. Excepting the Sun and the Moon all , planets happen to be the lords of two houses. Therefore the Sun only trecomes the lord and the 2"d and L2m for Cancer and Virgo Lagnas and the Moon becomes the lord of the 2"d and L2ft houses for Gemini and Leo Lagnas. For not being the lords of other houses, the two luminaries will be considered neutrals and will ## Page 34 36 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika acquire good or evil according the nature of their associations or thehouses they will occupy. If they will occupy auspicious houses conjoined with auspicious planets they will be considered . extiemely auspicious but if they will occupy inauspicious or bad houses with inauspicious planets they will be considered highly inauspicious. Panditsita RamJha also opines that the lords of the 2nd and 12th houses do not give results according to their inherent nature but give results according to the houses occupied or house lords conjoined with or house characteristics of their other signs. He quotes - qiTrs qa'vrs qrrq scqi tR:t Hrf{l' q qi es dETtfl qd v+(tt dqK qtrffi4vil qtYn sr6{4n:t ilqgq flt f<vra: tr({fls-m(ll one who is wealthy, if befriends evil and crooked persons is certain to drain away his wealth through their crafts. If he befriends a gentle and noble person then he is helped in multiplication and preservance of his wealth by that friend. Similirly, the lords of the 2.d and he 12th houses give good or bad results as determined by their associations with good or bad planets or houses. No characteristics develop in the lords of the ?d and 12h houses due to ownership of these two houses rather they remain neutral but they acquire the characteristics of the planets they conjoin or the houses where their other signs fall. Three conditions develop : (i) These two will give results according to the houses occuPied. (ii) Acquire the characteristics of the house lords conjoined. (iii) Acquire the characteristics of the sign lords, they are posited in. If they occupy their ownhouses in the 2"d and 12h respectively then thev are neutrals and do not prove so auspicious. If they ## Page 35

37 singly occupy a Kendra or associate with a malefic Kendra lord then they are neutral. For Cancer Lagna natives the 2nd lord Sun and L2th lord Mercury if occupy a malefic sign in the L0th or 7h house and are relatecl to the lords of these houses, they produce somewhat auspicious results. For this reason the Sun and Mercury's conjunction is considered auspicious in the 7th or 10th house for Cancer Lagna. For associations we can devise following facts : (i) If the 2nd and L2th lords occupy Tiikona houses or conjunct their lords, they produce auspiciousness. (ii) Very auspicious, if occupy the Lagna or associate its lord. (iii) Somewhat or mildly auspicious, if occupy the 3'd, 6'h or LLth in a benefic sign or associate a benefic Trishadaya lord. Perhaps this is because benefic Trishadaya lords are held mildly auspicious in their own signs for being Upchaya lords. (i") They are inauspicious in the 3t, 6'n or 1L'h in malefic signs or conjunct to the malefic lords of these houses. (") If occupy Kendras or associate benefic Kendra lords then they are neutral again. ("i) If occupy a malefic sign in Kendra or associate a malefic Kendra lord then they are not inauspicious. The word FsTT;II-d{rltutiTI is interpreted in two ways : (i) according to nature of the house the planet happens to possess, (ii) according to the house in which the planet is placed. Following conditions develop for this word : (i) If the 2nd and 12th lords are the Sun and the Moon their ' results will be decided on the associations of planets and I occupation of houses because they don't own any other signs. (ii) If the 2*i or L2th lord's other sign falls in the Lagna then he :' produces good. (iii) If their other sign falls in the 3'd, 6'h or 11th house then if they are benefics, the results are somewhat mildly auspicious but if they are malefics the results are inauspicious. ## Page 36 38 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika (i')IftheirothersignsfallinaKendratheyareneutralbutif they occupy their Kendra signs they are auspicious' (.r) If they occupy the 8'h house or associate the 8'h lord then theY are inausPicious. (vi) Rahu-Ketu are neutral when solitarily occuPy these i'e'' 2nd or 12th houses. Example-In the given chart the 12th lord is Saturn' He does not associate with ani planet. The other sign of saturn is in the Lagna which is auspicious frgusglrnd is occupied by auspicious piu".,"tr, therefore in the 12tr' lord Saturn's Dasa the native spent ?or humble causes. The 2nd lord f upiter is associated with Mercury Sun 10 Ketu I Venus 11 Mercury Moon Rahu context. The 2"d is a Maraka house and the 12th is the house for aruir,ale of physical,""il b"i.,g. These characteristics are different ito* tfi" gooa, bad or neutral nature mentioned here' What we want to emphasise in the example is that jupiter due to his association wilidefinitely be auspicious but being the ## Page 37

39 2nd lord jupiter is also a Maraka and will also produce death like situations in his Dasa or Bhukti. Both the results will be experienced by the native at the same time. Similarly, for Taurus Lagna the 2nd and 5h lord Mercury is a Maraka and is auspicious due to his other house lordship or can be more auspicious due to associations. For Virgo Lagna, Venus being the 2''d and 9th lord is auspicious but is endowed with Maraka characteristics. Pandit Vinayaka Sastri writes : " ....... gfi1uft1qyqq66frq {ffi a dIH: l qqsdsf ?rdqq€i@ rmeEyerftqqtl q elqfr i qffi qdq ;qraTFTfr RtF..|"i.e., Maraka results and auspiciousness do not oppose each other, both can be experienced at the same time. Readers will notice here, how minutely we have to consider the planets before attempting judgements. The commentators were great men with vast erudition and learning and therefore their views are worth studying with respect and reverence. The views held above are of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri. In the chapter ahead under "Yogadhaya" we shall study about great auspiciousness (Yogakarkatwa) arising from the relation of Kendra and Trikona lords. No other house lords except these two give Karaka Phala or great auspicious results. If the 2"d and L2th lords are also Trishadaya lords and being related to Trikona lords, they cannot produce Karaka Phala. Karkatwa can only occur to those Trishadaya lords that being Kendra lords are related to Trikona lords. For Gemini Lagna, the Moon happens to be only the 2nd lord. If the Moon is in the 2n't house unrelated to any planet then she is simply a Maraka. She will be a Marakesa in Maraka context while she wil be neutral otherwise. The Moory if becomes related with the 5th lord Venus then she will be auspicious Marakesa or death irrflicting planet but cannot be a Karaka' For Cancer Lagna, Mercury the L2th lord also owns the 3'd house, a Trishadaya if he relates with some auspicious planet then hc cannot be a "Karaka" or greatly auspicious. ## Page 38 40 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika For Leo Lagna, the Moon and Mercury;for Virgo Lagna, the Sun; for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas, Saturn; for Capricorn Lagna, Jupiter; for Aquarius Lagna again Jupiter cannot obtain "Karkatwa" the great auspiciousness because they are neither Kendra lords nor Tiikona lords. For Thurus Lagna, if the 2n'r and 5th lord Mercury is related to the 9th and 10th lord Saturn; for Virgo Lagna if the 2"d and 9'h lord Venus is related to the Lagna and 10tr' lord Mercury; for Libra Lagna if the 2"d and 7'h lord Mars is related to the 4th and 5'h lord Saturn; for Scorpio Lagna if the 2^r ancl 5'h lorcl Jupiter is related to Saturn or the Sun; for Capricorn Lagner, if the Lagna and 2"'i lord Saturn self or related to Venus or the Moon or Mercury; for Aquarius Lagna, if Saturn self or related to a Kerrdra or Trikona lord; for Pisces Lagna, if Mars is related to Jupiter or Mercury then these 2nd and 12th lords can be Karakas. For Capricorn and Aquarius Lagnas only the 2d and L2h lord becomes the lord of Kendra as well as Trikona. According to principles of this text, Saturn a natural malefic is auspicious being the Lord of Lagna in his Dasa-Bhukti. Rule about 8th lord- qrr+qqrflrr*q r*hil n {r1qgt1 € q.[ vJjr+r;qnr dr{rffisfu +ffiq(il etl The lord of the 8th house rules the 12th house as counted from the 9th house. Thus, he rules the loss of fortunes. Therefore, he does not yield good results. But if he is also the lord of Lagna, he is auspicious. Notes-Out of all the houses of losses or expenses the lord of the house of loss of fortune i.e.,8th is most inauspicious. The 8th is called house of death. Death occurs when bank balance of good fortunes is exhausted. According to Pt. Sita Ram Jha the word wntrqilsfr is used where eTfr is used because the 1st, 5th and 9th are auspicious house and out of these the l"st is weakest. Therefore when the 8th lord becomes auspicious being the Lagna lord at the same ## Page 39

41 time then if he is the 5th or 9th lord he will be even more auspicious. This implies that the 8th lord, if happe-ns to be the lord of a Tiikona at the same time he is auspicious. If he happens to be Trishadaya lord at the same time then he is particularly inauspicious. Ii he is not the lord of any other house then he is simply inauspicious. It is due to this that the Sun and the Moon are not supposed to be so inauspicious as the 8th lords. Loss of fortune is sezerely painful as Kunti the mother of Pandavas said in Mahabharatha. qrr€{ Fqie{r qI Ertcr q qtrsdql Wa 5aF+fla qi {ffi T(fdl:ll Our vast mythological literature and Puranas are full of admiration of fortunes or Bhagya. The inauspiciousness of the 8th lord is because it causes loss of fortune e1 qpqqflfqqg nnd the auspicious and inauspicious lords in this context are fixed for losses for various houses i.e. due toqfqltTqcql Regarding the evil nature of the 8th house there is a verse- qpA Ee F{gq' *-r+el' qrE ffi s-fiq Fqcqr qrrqqrqrdqra-qr R nqr( ffi ssffi se{$ 5frd' I I If fortune is strong, every kind of happiness is easily attained. If the luck is lost, everything is lost. It is for this reason that, the sages hold the lord of the 8th house to be extremely evil. The extreme auspicious nature of the lord of Lagna is also told thus: Yfi{crq' €q $Td'qrffi wrK{krgt rrqFf, +$fil:l F{r gddq vmrgs-*sz dq:q.ferd fq6rqq;11 Thebody is the meansbywhichDharma (duty, virtuous acts, merit) can be performed and thereby merit can be attained' Wealth and other kinds of happiness, which automatically flow in by following Dharma (righteousness)' One who takes good carsof his body, can hope to be happy always. It is for this reason that the lord of the Lagna is held to be extremely auspicious. In the previous Slokas the author of the text described the characteristics of the lords of Kendras, Tiikonas, Tiishadayas, ## Page 40 42 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika and 2d and L2tr'houses. Now what is special about the 8th lord that a separate Sloka is inducted. It is like this, if the Randhresha or 8th lord is also the Lagna lord and he be in the Lagna or the 'Sthhouse then only he is endowed with the property to bestow auspiciousness as he then strengthens these two houses. This also suggests about the importance of the positioning of the 8'h lord. If he is positioned in atry other house than the L't or 8th house, then he is not auspicious but destroys the significations of that house because the evil of be.ing the 8th lord is in much greater play than the auspiciousrress of Lagna lord (a weak Trikona) and this has been experiencecl practically. Thus, if the same 1't ancl 8'r'lorcl being in the Lagna (Kendra- Trikona) or 8s house be related to a Trikona lord, then he can be greatly auspicious (Karaka) otherwise he singly placed is auspicious only. If the 8th lorcl being also a Trishadaya lord be related to a Trikona lord elsewhere than tl-re 8th house, he and the Tiikona lords both cannot be Yoga productive or cannot bestow auspiciousness. The 8tr'lord, if he is not in the 8th is certainly evil. For Gemini Lagna, Saturn being the 9'h lord also becomes the 8tr'lord, therefore he gets endowed with property of loss of Bhagya or fortune, if he is related to the 10m lord Jupiter he cannot be a Karaka. In the next sloka there is a corollary to this Sloka qr€tyrd *cq qfqqqdfi(-The Sun and the Moon remain free of the blemish of being the 8th lord and it does not mean they become auspicious, they can only be auspicious if they are in their own signs in the 8'h house and this is only possible for Sagittarius and Capricorn Lagnas. Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha observed that many natives suffer loss of fortunes in the Dasas of the Sun and the Moon as 8th lorcls. Maraka or discordance are also the results, therefore he does not give his acceptance to the rule that the Sun and the Moon remain free of the blemish of being the 8th lorcl. A little blemish is always there and they should not. and never be considered auspicious. The only exceptions are the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Venus when Leo, Cancer, Scorpio and Taurus respectively are identical with the 8th house. He further says that tlre 8th lord also as the Trikona lord is auspicious when posited in the 8th house. ## Page 41

43 Pandit Vinayaka Sastri also considers a little blemish to the sun and the Moon as 8th lords. He also assigns a little blemish to the Lagna lorcl for being the 6th lord. Similarly the Sun and the Mooriacquire a little biemish being the Trishadaya lords.

The evil in respect of the Moon is still less than tl-rat of Mercury. But they all have this blemish common to them though of varying intensity' Notes-previouslyitwasstated;i ffid Ul fqr q\qr: d6lftTqr fr i.e., the natural benefics do not do good by owning Kendra houses or theY act as neutrals. How a natural benefic owning a Kendra acts when his other sign falls in a house other than Kendra has been discussed under Sti1.u 6-7. Now the question arises if both the signs of a planet fall in Kendras what will be the results. This situation arises for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas' If -the benefics owning thes-e signi go neutral then the native will be bereft of their b-eneficence in"iheir Dasa. Four natural benefics are also callecl fortunes, of them Jupiter is the greatest fortune. when fortunes become neutral it is bad for the native. These fortunes by becoming neutral remain inert in their Dasas. Thus natural blncfics by fecoming neutral in their Dasas deplete the potential of thc l'roroscope for the time being. , fuPiter ancl venus are natural benefics while Mercury and thc Moon are conditional natural benefics. To join the class of ## Page 42 44 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika benefics, Mercury should be free from malefic associations and the Moon should be with bright rays, which she is from the 8th day of the bright half to the 7th day of the dark half, then only both become benefics otherwise remain malefics. This evil quality-the Kendradhipatya Dosha-is in the descerrding magnitude in respcct of JupiteX, Venus, Mercury and the Moon i.e., the evil quality is not equal in the case of all the benefics but varies clirectly to their inherent benefic nature. Jupiter and Venus being very powLrrful benefics, therefore the Kendradhipatya Dosha is much pronounced in their case. Mercury and the Moon arc feeblc' benefics therefore the Kendradhipatya Dosha gets proportionatly reduced in their case. Again there is gradation among the quadrant houses. The l"', 4"', 7th and LOth are considered to posscss strength in the ascending order according to rdf,Rqtfltflql So borrefics owning the 1st house are less evil than those owning the 4th house. The benefic owing the LOth house is worst evil in respect of Kendradhipatya Dosha. The 2nd and 7th houses are termed as Marakasthanas i.e., death inflicting houses in a horoscope. If Jupiter and Venus own Kendras, the Kendradhipatya Dosha is profuse in their case particularly when they own a Marakasthana and also occupy it. The evil arising thus is impossible to eradicate. What do the Maraka planets cause ? {r-ftfi'f {fff ; dcr srf{ fiffi61;g ilffnRi fqqt tq sqrfq {rnFr:rl If the Marakas are powerful, in their Dasas and Bhuktis or Antardasas they can cause various kinds of miseries. Orly the Marakas that are very powerful .i.rr cause death in th-ir Dasas. It is clear that the 7tr'house is a Maraka house, also a Kenclra and odd one in sequence of houses. The Trikonas are also odd houses. Therefore no Trikona lord can subsequently be the , 7th lord. So the 7tr'lord cannot be termed as auspicious. Ttris is ## Page 43

45 what has been stressed in this text' Thus, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon being Kendra lords having become neutrals, if also become Markesas then they cannot be auspicious. This rule does not apply to the sun, Mars and saturn. These malefics do not acquire the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha therefore being the 7th lord donot become severe Markesa. For Aries Lagna Venus is a strong Maraka, if in the 7th, as he owns two Marala houses one being a Kendra, the 7ft house' In case of Gemini Lagna,Jupiter owns the 7'h and LOth houses therefore a first rate Maiakesa particularly if he occupies the 7th house. similar is the case of Mercury for sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas. None of the malefics i.e., the Sun, Mars and Satut'n can own two K?ndras besides being the 7th lord. Blemish of Kendradhipatya does not occur to the malefics, so potential of the horoscope does not deplete, if they become neutral' Whatever blemish ]upiter or Mercury acquire for being the 7ft lord a Kendra as well as Marakasthana is that Jupiter and Mercury can provide benefic results by being in the 7th house due to the concept of Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas but the severe blemish of Maraka also accompanies. If Jupiter and Mercury occupy other Kendras in own signs than the 7th house then Kendradhipatya Dosha do not occur to them so severely' Venus being the 7th lord can also own the 2nd and l-2'h houses for Aries and scorpio Lagnas. If he occupies the 7ft then he is a severe Maraka being also the Karaka or significator of the 7h house. Similar is not the case for Mars for Taurus and Libra Lagnas. If the 7th lord as Kendra lord posited in the 7th is related to a Trikona lord then such 7th lord is endowed with Yogakaraka qualities i.e., he is extremely auspicious in his Dasa. But in Maraka cbntext he is direly a Markesa or death inflicting. (see the sloka). qrn* f6 {q+rrs q+qn*, gkgt Yqqfr ilrGrEI' src{il ffiur:tt ## Page 44 46 Laghu Pansari-Jataka Chandrika If the 7th and Trikona lords are related then in Trikona lord's Dasa and 7th lord's Bhukti Rajayoga or greatly auspiciousresults are experienced but in the end one has to experience Maraka results also. For example, if for an Aries Lagna native the 2"d and 7h lord Venus is related to Jupiter the th and 12h lord then in the end of Venus's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa there will be Maraka results. Venus is double Marakesa here. The last part of the Sloka 11 tells that the blemish of being the 8th lord does not imply to the Sun and the Moon. Much has been said about this under the notes on Sloka 9. Generalising the discussion on Sloka 10-1L we can conclude thus- (i) If the benefics owning Kendras are in their own signs, in Kendras they bestow auspicious results. (ii) If the benefics owning Kendras are also Maraka-sthana lords and occupy Maraka-sthanas they give intense Maraka results. (iit) If the benefics owning Kendras are in auspicious houses i.e,, the L"t, the 5ft or 9s and are related to their lords, then . they are Yoga producing and bestow great auspiciousness. alongwith some Maraka results. (i") If Kendra lords are in inauspicious houses then they give inauspicious results. (v) If the benefic 7h lord (Kendradhipati) is related to a Trikona lord he bestows Yoga or auspicious results in the beginning of hisBhukti orAntardasa but in the end gives Maraka results. Some say that benefics by owning quadrants become Papa or evil. If benefics would have been defective or evil by owning any of the Kendras then how the Lagna lord would have bestowed good results even by owning the most inauspicious 8h house. Then all the exercise done above would have been a waste. Therefore the logical interpretation is that benefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon become severe Marakas by owning the 7th house (a Kendra) and their intensity to bestow Maraka results is in the descending order i.e., Jupiter ## Page 45 iLaghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika 47 owes the greatest Maraka blemish and the Moon the least. This is particular'iy so when they occupy their own signs in the 7s house. On Yogakarakatwa of Planets- {q{4 gJTfirRrrl ffiffir :ll 12ll Mars (a malefic) does not give auspicious results simply by owning the LOth house (a Kendra). Being a Kendra lord he becomes neutral. If he becomes a Tiikona lord at the same time, only then he is capable of bestowing auspiciousness. Notes-PreviouslY it was said : a fflf< ffi{qt qRt qtT{-+dqsl da rqemffi+cttl Natural malefics as lords of the Kendras will not produce evil. By that are we to infer that they will produce good results? No, says the author, illustrating this by way of an example. Mars owns the 10th house in cases of Cancer and Aquarius Lagnas. In the case of Cancer lagna, he additionally owns the 5th house, a Tiikona. Therefore he is declared extremely auspicious as Rajayogakaraka. Again it is said: ffi{ qrq-{ {q€' sfrcTF{tr(l rdse l6fqwdq cTc (s Ydftrd:ll n*e q,4qdt5ft $qqqr+T€qls"l qCvrqmql iqfHqqE-diq-tn' : | | **{|-d1 qHra clq€'tq 'T{cfrt ffi ffiffidc {,r€ Ts fte{|l Malefics owning Kendras become auspicious only upto the extent that they forget their malefic nature but if they acquire the lordships of Trikonas additionally then they are capable of great auspiciousness. Thus in the example above the auspicious nature of Mars is not duc to lordship of the 10th house but is due to lordship of the 5th house, an auspicious house. ## Page 46 48 ;'Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika But in case of Aquarius Lagna Mars being the 10th lord additionally owns the 3d house, a Trishadaya or evil house and is inauspicious or evil according to the rule'Tdq|iavsr+rlf qR YItItFtIlKt:ll So, for Aquarius Lagna Mars is declared evil : frqqaqw: crct qsl *elgo: {q: i.e., Jupiter, Moon and Mars are evil for Aquarius Lagna, only Venus is auspicious. And for Cancer Lagna it is said : crFi+€gd wff rlgdrQ{d Edr qs' F T6: TIIQII-( lgd drrmnm: rr Venus and Mercury are evil; Mars andlupiter are auspicious and only Mars is the planet that becomesYogakaraka for Cancer Lagna. Pandit Vinayaka Sastri, also rightly says : E-qT( s*d e ffiq€epqr By Mars, we are to take the malefics in general, and by *C 1t0tn house) we are to take Kendras in general. In natal astrology or general predictions all the cruel Kendra lords bestow evil results while all the benefic Kendra lords bestow good results. But according to this text only the Tiikona lords are auspicious and all the Trishadaya lords are inauspicious particularly in Dasa context. According to the rule : dqffi{qffi zfrq-*-lr*]tt i.e. a planet becomes Yogakaraka by owning a Kendra as well as a Trikona. In astrology generally the Moon being a Kendra lord is a mild benefic while the Sun is cruel. But according to this text both are neutral but can bestow auspiciousness, if get related to a Tiikona lord. The Lagna is a Trikona, because ft = three ut14 etu = angle i.e., three angles form a Trikona. It is due to this that Lagna is a Trikona and that Mercury for Gemini and Virgo Lagnas and Jupiter for Sagittarius and Pisces Lagnas are auspicious. In these Lagnas Jupiter and Mercury are neutral but Markesas ## Page 47

49 also for being the 7th-10th and 4h-7h lords and give inauspicious results additionally as Marakesas. The Lagna is so auspicious that even direly evil 8th lord becomes somewhat auspicious by co-owning it and that too in his own house in the Lagna or 8m house. Example - The chart hereunder is of Gemini Lagna. The chart has potential as the three vital factors are strong i.e., the Sun is in the LOft, the Moon is in own house in the 2"d and the Lagna lord Mercury is in the 9ft, a Trikona. The native is an industrialist. He earned a lot of wealth in the Sun s Dasa. The Sun is though a Tiishadaya lord but has been considerably mended by jupiter in own house. Here the Maraka characteristic of Jupiter is not prominent as he is in his own house in the 10th which indicates that he is auspicious.

Moon lupiter 11 10 Rahu 280 did not do much for him as the Moon in the second house is neutral and Maraka. The aspect of Mars the 6th lord over the Moon put him under debts but the aspect of Jupiter kept his moral high. In Mars Dasa he shifted his industry to a different far off place. He is likely to rise now as Mars though a Tiishadaya lord is in his own house and gets the thurst from Venus, a Tiikona lord and,saturn again a Trikona lord but also the 8th lord. So in Mars Dasa he will succeed and progress further after many obstacles. ## Page 48 50 Lagh u Pa rasa rhJataka C h an d ri ka Characteristics of Rahu and Ketu- €qxrq.r*arfrarqrdmfgftr TtrdFdrfr r*dr uRfra; 66qit,,'1 t,, The dark planets, Rahu and Ketu strongly give the results of the houses they occupy or the houses owned by the planets conjunct with them. Notes-The shadowy planets (i.e., the nodes), Rahu and Ketu do not own any sign independently, they are indeed very strong and should not be ignored thoughVaraha Mihira and afew other Acharyas have not given their results in detail. Natally their results can be understood from texts like Parasara HorE Jataka Pariiata, Phala Deepika etc. For results of their Dasas according to this text this separate Sloka is inducted. Thehouses occupied byRahu and Ketu shouldbeascertained first as auspicious or inauspicious. Rahu and Ketu will act according to this quality of the house, if they solitarily occupy it. Inan auspicious house they will produce auspicious results while in an inauspicious, the contrary.They will be neutral in the 2nd, 12rh, 4h,7th and 10s houses. In the lst sth and 96 they will be auspicious. In the 8ft they will be extremely evil. In the 3'd, 6ft and 11ft they will be inauspicious. These will be the results if they alone are present in these houses. Rahu and Ketu also give the results of the planet they are conjoined to. Firstly ascertain the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the planet due to his ownership' They will bestow results according to this characteristic of the planet. The reason behind is : ffi: rdnlfq{f(dl feretqrqr€ d e e v,ei i {$rdd:l I They are termed yqd or strong because they are capable of eclipsing even the visible gods like the Sun and the Moon. They do not hlve their own results as they do not have their orbs due to non illumination, rather much depends uPon the house they occupy. They are the points of intersection of the Moon's track ## Page 49

51 with the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Sun). Thus they are the megnetic points capable of attracting the results of the house occupied by them and the planet conjunct to them. One more fact that is worth noting and has been experienced in practice is that Rahu-Ketu also give to some extent results of the planets aspecting them. The a.rthor of the text seems to have included it in the conjunction. Example - In the chart below the Lagna is Taurus, Rahu is in the 9n house in Saturn's sign. It is conjunct to the Sun and Mercury and is aspected by Saturn. Accordingly Rahu will be auspicious inits Dasa andwill pronouncedly giveresultsof theSun, Mercury and Saturn. The results will be like a Rajayogakaraka planet's.

Here Saturn is deadly evil being the 8th lord and conjunct Mars a strong tishadaya lord. He was hanged in spite of great public and international opposition. He has to undergo a great international disrepute and defeat at the hands of India and that was in Saturn's Daia and Ketu Antara. Rahu and Ketu both gave results according to their associations. Example-The native of this chart is an executive in a multinational company. His wife also is in business and the famity is with sound financial status. Rahu in the 5s is very auspicious almost functioning as Yogakaraka. 52 Lagh u Parasari -Jataka C h and r i ka Ketu is in the 1Lh with benefic Trishadaya lord Jupiter and the 2"d and 7th lord Mars, so increases income. If Rahu or Ketu is in the 7h or 2"d house associated with a benefic 7'h lord, then it is definitely a Marakesa. Usually Rahu and Ketu in the 2"d and 7th function as Marakas. Example - For Aries Lagna if Rahu or Ketu is in the 2"d or 7h associated with Venus, then it is a deadly Marakesa. If one of them alone is in the 2nd or 7th then it is a Markesa in a general sense. For Taurus Lagna Rahu or Ketu in the 7th with Mars are not so deadly as they alone are because Mars a malefic is not so severe \3*r7r. X;# 6 ,/s / Kellr piter Moon Rahu Birth 6.11,.1932 3.15 A.M.

Yoga means mutual relation for excess of auspicious results. If related Kendra and Trikona lords are unrelated to any inauspicious lord and they themselves do not own inauspicious house then auspicious results are manifold. Notes-This chapter is named Yogadhyaya and deals with special combinations of planets capable of producing extremely auspicious results. Such chapters are common features with almost every text book on Hindu astrology and there the Yogas go by special names as Nabhasa Yogas, Rajayogas, Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas etc. But the treatment of Yogas in this text is a special feature of Parasara system. And such a treatment is not to be met with in other text books. The strong Lagna, Lagna lord, the Moon, the Moonsign lord, the Sun and the Sun sign lord add to the potential of a horoscope and the native will have auspicious times ahead in his life. If at the same time some of the Kendra and Trikona lords are also related then the native will certainly be long lived, acquire status, 2 ## Page 53

55 wealth, fortunes and comforts of all sorts. If a single planet occurs to be the lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona then he bestows greatly auspicious results in his Dasa. In manyof the fortunate iurror,', charts usually the KendraandTrikona lords get related io the Lagna or the Mbon sign lords. If inauspicious house lord also joiis the combination then auspicious results are considerably hamPered.

In the chart above Saturn forgets his malefic nature being the 1"0th lord but remembers that he is to do good as a Trikona lord and his association with another Trikona lord Mercury further enhances his functional auspiciousness. 2. To be in mutual exchange of houses ( de qqq )- Here the Sun and the Moon as lords of the 4th and 5th have exchanged houses. This is also called q{gR T{TFI Wq or mutual exchange of houses. 3.

The planets being in mutual aspects ( Efu TIcr;eT )-Here Mars and Jupiter mutually aspect each other. The Lagna lord Mars and the 9th lord Jupiter are in mutual aspects. In these relationships mutual exchange of houses is the most powerful, next is mutual aspects but one of them must be in own house, then aspect by dispositor and the least powerful is occupation of the same house. if tne above relationships are absent then the planets in mutual Kendras and Tiikonas may be supposed to be related. About Kendra lords it is said- ffi €qtq e qrqFrw-gqFrqr:t gr1s6r1-6$q1' greSrea' qiltl I The lords of spouse, status and comforts off-sight their inherent nature and give auspicious results in combination with auspicious planets i.e. the 1st 5th and 9ft lords. The word Edwmvft in the Sloka has been used for such Kendra and Trikona lords, whose other signs do not fall in the Trishadaya and 8h houses and are not conjunct with these lords. 72 10 Mars 1 7 |upiter 11 Lagna Mars Iupiter ## Page 56 58 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika , Ithas already beentold that the Lagna lord is most auspicious and the 8th lord is deadly evil. The 2nd and 12ft house lords are neutrals. The Kendra lords are always neutral and Trikona lords always auspicious. The malefic Trishadaya lords are inauspicious while the benefic Tiishadaya lords are very feebly auspicious in their own houses. Example-In the chart hereunder the 4ft and th lord venus is conjunci the 5,h lord Mercury. Venus is Yogakaraka and he is in 10 Sun 9 K€tu Venus fupiter Mercuqy I Saturn Moon the Lagna, thus is related to the Lagna lord saturn. Therefore venus-will be very auspicious in his Dasa. The 7th lord sun is aspected by his disposiior and the Lagna lord Saturn and there wiitUe happiness fromwife intheSun's Dasa.

The L0'h and 5'h lord Mars, a Rajayogakaraka is in the 3d house in an auspicious sign therefore Mars's capability is not diminished very much. The 9th lord Jupiter and Mars are in Kendra to each other. The 7th lord Saturn is aspected by the 9th lord Jupiter from his own house causing a blemished Yoga.

According to Sloka 4 of this text the definition and significations irentioned in other texts are adopted here also but th"e auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of this text are not the ,urr," ui the beneficence and maleficence mentioned there. The cruel planets of ottrer texts become auspicious here under certain condiiions. Therefore natal astrology and directional astrology do not work at a common platform. The good and evil of planets will have to be understood in the light of rules of this text as discussed under Preliminaries in chapter 1. Inauspicious planets ancl houses have been discussed in slokas 5 to 9. The blemishes and goodnesses acquired by the planets are- 1. All the Tiikona lords are auspicious. 2. All benefic Kendra lords do not produce good' 3. All malefic Kendra lords do not produce evil' 4. All Tiishadaya lords are evil or inauspicious' ## Page 60 62 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 9. The 8th lord is deadly evil. 10. The 2"d and L2th lords are neutral and behave according to their conjunctions with other ltouse lords and dispositions or placements in auspicious ancl inauspicious houses. Sloka 14 says that the Kendra and Trikona lords whose other signs do not fall in houses other than these two, if are mutually related then such a combinatiorr is auspicious par excellence. Sloka 15 says that tRfr strotrgcst Kcndra lord (10'h lord) and qd strongest Trikona lord though blernished if are mutually related produce auspicious restults. lJlcmished here means, also lords of inauspicious houses.

Here Saturn is blemished being the LLth lord. The combination will give proportionately less auspicious results. One thing that is worth noting is that for all the Lagnas only one planet either thc 1.0'h lord or the 9'h lord should be blemished. Both blemished cannot produce Yoga. One peculiarity of this Sloka is that out of the th and LOth lords the blemish of one is mended or tempered by the other 'r, ## Page 61

63 and the Yoga for auspiciousness is given to arise. The word em can be used here with advantage i.e. the planets involved in the Yoga should not be debilitated, in enemy sign and combust etc; should be endowed with positional strengttr, directional strengttr, six fold strength etc. and should be auspiciously aspected. '. Brihat Parasara Hora Sasha says tfffi +q *tr![-{. No planet can produce auspiciousness simply by ownership and relationship unless he has inherent strength.

The 9'h lord Saturn is blemished being the 8th lord. Therefore combination of the two cannot produce Yoga as both are blemished. In Leo Lagna chart, the Sth lord Jupiter is blemished being the 8*h lord. Mars the 4s lord being the 9'h lord eradicates the evil of Jupiter, if the two planets are related. In an Aries Lagna chart the 9'h and 12h lord Jupiter is not blemished but being associated with the 1lft lord Saturn, Jupiter as L2h lord becomes blemished. Therefore the combination of Saturn and Jupiter does not yield auspicious results. In Gemini Lagna chart the 9th lord Saturn is blemished being the 8th lord therefore his combination or relation with the 10ft lord Jupiter is not auspicious as fupiter is also the 7h lord a Maraka blemished with Kendradhipatya Dosha.

65 some commentators have been rigid on the language of sloka and say that it should particularly be among the 9m and 10'h lords. Different people have sung in different tunes. But the essence of the wordi qd and q;-C lies in the 9'h and ].0h houses and their lords. It is better for the readers to avoid any controversy and stick to the essence. We put before our readers a few facts to the best of our knowledge. In this sloka Rajayogas are formed according to the words EreF{, q$T€ and sf,eRfGf while the Rajayogas formed by relationships have been told in the earlier slokas. In otherwords Yogas formed here are due to the place value of Kendra and Trifona. Following this principle, the Kendra and Trikona lords must have one of the four pronged relationship' In the first sloka gq-tlq ClHq was important, whill in the second sloka TlErtlql-tf( was the key word. As these two may not be interpreted differently here trC, q"C have been q,rot"d. These factors generally apply to all the.house lords 6ut are vital for great auspiciousness of the Kendra and Trikona lords. Examples- If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 10h lord Mars is in the th house and the th lord fupiter is in the L0'h house then it is a house exchange and is th-e strongest Yoga of 1st grade. It will not be considered as the Yoga of the 5th and 6th lords. In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the 10'h lord Mars and the th lord Jupiter together eiiher be in the 10h house or the 9'h house then it is a 2nd grade RajaYoga' In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the l'Oth lord be in the th house in |upiter's sign and-be aspected by Jupiter from the L't, 3d or 5'h -t,o,rr". or iI the 9th lord Jupiter be in the L0'h house in Martian sign and be aspected by Mars from 3'd,4th or 7th house, then it is a 5'd grade Rajayoga. ihese three types are the Yogas that are mentioned in this Sloka. In a Cancer Lagna chart, if the 5s lord Mars be in the 6ft house and the 6'h lord Jupiter be in the 5th house then it is predominantly ## Page 64 66 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika a Yoga formed by the house exchange between the 5ft and 6h lords and is not a Karaka Yoga or Rajayoga but rather a feeble Yoga. If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 1.0'h and 56lord Mars and the th and 66lord Jupiter are conjunct in the 5h then it is a Karaka Yoga and if in the 6th house then it being a Yoga of the 5h and 10ft and the 6th lords is not a Karaka Yoga. If in a Cancer Lagna chart the 5h and 10h lord Mars be in the 5ft house in Sagittarius and be aspected by fupiter from the L0s, L2s or 2"d house then here the 5'h and 1.0'h lord Mars will be aspected by the 6th lord Jupiter and it can not be a Karaka Yoga. If in a Cancer Lagna chart Jupiter in the 5h house be aspected by Mars from the 10\ 11th or 2"d house, here Jupiter in the 5ft house is aspected by Mars fromAries in the 1"0'h house i.e' Jupiter is aspected by his dispositor. The 6th and 9th lord Jupiter is being aspected by the 5h and L0'h lord Mars which is a Karaka Yoga capable of bestowing Rajyoga results. This Yoga is powerful than when Mars aspects from the 1l-th or 2nd house. Mars is a Yogakaraka for Cancer Lagna. Therefore Mars and Jupiter form a Rajayoga. According to this text the results of the planets depend uPon the houses they own and not on their own or their sign's inherent natures. Here ownership of the house is important and at least one of the planets must be in other's house. Mars . J^.2\ ? Xnt,, 8 \ Iupi 10 11 Mars Mars Lagna Mars jupiter ## Page 65

67 The speciality of efff9Td (related by house placement) Yoga is that it is not affected, if any third planet is related with one of the two Yoga producing planets e.g., if in Cancer Lagna chart the 9th and LOth lords Mars and Jupiter be related by sr.zi-qrfrrd (house placement) and Jupiter be with Saturn (the 6th and 9'h lord Jupiter conjunct the 7'h and 8th lord Saturn) then Saturn cannot destroy the Karaka Yoga caused by Mars and Jupiter. The results of Mars Dasa, jupiter's Bhukti and Saturn's Pratyantara will be far more auspicious than the results of Jupiter's Dasa, Mars's Bhukti and Saturn's Pratyantara. The three planets are same but the difference lies in the fact that Mars, the Dasa lord and Rajayogakaraka is not related with Saturn. Examples of Aries Lagna- (i) If the 9ft lord Jupiter be in the 10th house and the 10ft lord Saturn be in the 9,h, it is ai-ffId Yoga and is a popular Ral'ayoga though blemished. (ii) If the 7ft lord Venus be in the 5th house and the 5ft lord Sun be in the 7'h, it is also an w*eT[|rd (in each other's sign or dependingon one another)Yoga but witha Maraka Venus. (iii) If the Lagna lord Mars be in the 4th house and the 4'h lord Moon be in the Lagna, then it is also sffffd Rajayoga. (i") If the 4'h lord Moon be in the Lagna and the 5th lord Sun be in the 7th then the planets are not in their houses and it is n61 e1:t;ut|rfc Yoga but simply an aspectual relationship productive of some good results. (") If Saturn is in the L2'h house and Jupiter in the 1Lth house then it is an oTzi-rTlf9lfl Yoga of the 1l.th and ].2'h house lords not of the 9'h and 10'h house lords. Similarly if the Sun is in the 8'h house and Mars in the 5th house then it ir un e1fftfA Yoga of the 5th and 8,h house lords, not productive of greatly auspicious results. ("i) If Saturn is in own sign in the LOth house and ]upiter in the 4th house in the Moon s sign both aspecting each other, it is ## Page 66 68 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika an aspectual relationship between the 9ft lord Jupiter and the 1.0'h lord Saturn productive of some auspiciousness. (vii) If the 9th and LOth lords are related not being in the 9'h and Lgth houses therefore it is not sl.ffflf, Yoga of the 9th and 10h lords. Here the 11h lord Saturn is in aspectual relationship with the 9th and 12th house lord Jupiter which is not a Karaka Yoga. To form Raiayoga, planets should be as defined in the translation of this sloka. Readers will do well to understand the above discussion by forming charts and understanding what is said by working out permutations for other Lagnas as weII' Example - In the chart of Mohammed Ali linnatr, the founder of Pakistan, the 9th lord Venus is in l'Oth house and the 10'h lord t2 11 Sat 10 Lagna Saturn fupiter rc / S w 9 \Mer 5 I(€ht 8 \ Venus lupiter ,/X' Moon Lagna Saturn Rahu Ketu Sun Mercury Venus f upiter Mars ## Page 67

69 Mars is in thegh house. Theblemishof Mars as aweakTlishadaya lord is eradicated by Venus being a Yogakaraka for Aquarius Lagna. This sr$qlrrd Yoga is formed between the 96and 10ft lords according to the relation established by qgq (house exchange) of the two planets. The Rajayoga or Karakayogadoes notmean that it necessarily makes one a kingbut can help one to acquire high governmental position, authority, kingly honours, wealth etc. but inherent itrengh of the planets as discussed in previous sloka do affect the intensity of the Yoga. Raia Yoga par excellence- ffiunffi{dqrs*}q*rtutt *T{Tsrs qRr+ rrasfq {+rrg-(tt17ll If any of the Trikona lord is related to a strong Kendra lord i.e., LOth house lord and vice-versa, an excellent auspicious combination or Yoga results. Notes-According to v{aTTwiff{irrtq in the Sloka 7 of the Preliminaries the t0th house is the strongest Kendra and the 9th house is the strongest Trikona and so are their lords. Commentators forwarcl different interpretations for strong planets and quote the Sloka : erctr=qs@t , qorfre@rr A planet in exaltation, Moolatrikona, own sign, strong in shadavarga is termed as strong and this is true but we are talking of special rules according to this text, therefore the terms auspicious, inauspicious, blemished, unblemished, strong and weak etc. will have to be adopted according to the rules laid down in this text as well as otherwise. Therefore according to Sloka 7 of the text, the LOs house is strongest amongst the Kendra lords. In this Sloka 17 for dq+erg sm we shall have to take strong L0th house lord. In this chapter Rajayogadhaya, to summarise, what has been said about auspicious results is : Sloka 14-If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related and do not own the Trishadava or the 3'd, 6th and l"1th houses then ## Page 68 70 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika they bestow Rajayoga or geatly auspicious results. Sloka 15 - If the Kendra and Tiikona lords be blemished then also bestow auspicious results, if they are related. But here only one planet should be blemished as one can mend or eradicate the blemish of the other. If both are blemished no Rajayoga results. In this Sloka qffi or 'strong' has been used as an adjective to Kendra and Trikona lords i.e., the strong Kendra and Tiikona lords, which are the 9th and L0th house lords. Sloka 16-The qC andt5.d i.e., the 9th and 10s should eitherbe in the 1"0'h and 9th houses or be together in one of these two houses or one of them be in other's one of these two houses and be aspected by his dispositor then also great auspiciousness results. Discussing unblemished Kendra and Trikona lords in Sloka 14 and the blemished 9'h and 10'h lords in Sloka 15 and Kshetra or house relations of the 9th and 1,0'h house lords in Sloka 16, the author of the text wraps up the remaining relations of the Kendra and Tiikona lords in this Sloka 17 of the text. To generalise the meaning of the sloka is like this- (i) If the 10th house lord is related to any of the Trikona lords then such relationship produces greatly auspicious results or (ii) if any of the Kendra lord either blemished or otherwise is related to the strongest tikona lord then also such relationship is productive of greatly auspicious results or Yogakarakatwa. Now we suppose, if the lords we are discussing be debilitated weak by si6n or otherwise, the Yoga will be very weak. It seems that the word qffi also includes such inherent or natural strengths of the planets involved. The relations between the Kendra and Trikona lords havebeen discussed directly or indirectly in the earlier Slokas. This Sloka has been inducted simply to add that the 9'h and 10'h lords should also be strong otherwise i.e., by placement, occupation, Vargas etc. This 17'h Sloka lays impetus on the fact when the best Rajayoga is caused? It is caused when the 10s lord and a Trikona lord are related or the 9th lord and a Kendra lord are related. If one or both ## Page 69

71 of them are exalted then it is best, if in own sign, a little less than best and if in a friendly sign then further little less and so on. Example - In an Aries Lagna chart the 9th and 7th house lords respectively are Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter is also the 12th lord, Venus is also the 2nd lord. Though Jupiter being the 9th lord is unblemished but as 12th lord he acquires blemish through conjunction or occupation. Therefore by being conjunct with Venus a Maraka, Jupiter acquires Maraka property due to conjunction as L2'h lord. Venus is also blemished being a Kendra lord. Hence the Yoga or combination formed by conjunction of Venus and Jupiter is futile as both are blemished. Similarly, we can work out effective and ineffective combinations of Kendra and Trikona lords in the ligf;t of guidelines offered by the text. Let us examine a few more horoscopes- Example - The chart under consideration is of Late President Dr. Rajendra Prasad. (0 The Lagna (a Kendra and Trikona)and 4h (a Kendra) lord Jupiter is in a Tiikona, the 9d'house, forming a powerful Rajayoga. (ii) Mercury, the 7th (Maraka) and 10h house lord is in the Lagna with Mars, the 5th and 12th house lord. Mars, the 1.2th lord conjunct Mercury also acquire the Maraka property of Mercury, therefore both are blemished. However the Lagna 10 I Su 11 9 Mercury Mars 7 enus 72\1 6\ rc"r"r/ \*"n",/ K"*X"' I(etu Moon Saturn Dr. Rajenra Prasad Iupiter Lagna Mars Mercury Sun Venus Rahu ## Page 70 72 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika position and aspect of the Lagna lord has eradicated the blemish considerably. The speciality of the chart is that all the Kendra and Trikona lords are related. Example-The chart hereunder is of a successful businessman. (i) The Lagna lord Moon (a Kendra and Tiikona lord) is with the blemished 9th lord Jupiter (a Trikona and Trishadaya lord) in exaltations. The Moon in own sign eradicates the blemish of Jupiter thus a powerful Rajayoga is caused. The native has progressed a lot during his business career. (ii) The Yogakaraka Mars is conjunct the blemished 7th lord (a Kendra) Saturn. The Yoga is in the 12'h house therefore fairly good. Example-In the chart of Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath / 4 Moon Iupiter Rahu 3 Saturn \ Mars, \1 Sun Venus .

(ii) The Lagna (a Kendra and Trikona) lord ]upiter has exchanged signs with the 5ft ( a Tiikona) lord Moon. (iii) the 9ft (a Trikona) lord Mars is in a Kendra. The chart is endowed with greatly auspicious combinations. Example-The chart hereunder is of an astrologer though a mechanical engineer by profession. He is of philanthropic disposition. /s Mars ue7\ /10 \ Mercwy 7 Moon Ketu 4 Safurn Venus Rahu Sun Saturn Mercury Mars fupiter Lagria Moon Ketu (i) Saturn the 4ft and 5ft lord is in the 10ft house. The 9ft lord Mercury in the 4th house is aspected by his dispositor Saturn. Significant changes for the better occurred in his life with the start of Saturn's Dasa. (ii) Earlier in Jupiter's Dasa ( a Trishadaya lord) he did not have any fair stability through Jupiter, the Upachaya lord is in own sign. Results of the Dasas of Yogakaraka planets- qsn€{fr rrdq: qrqvilffi:t @ YJlltrrfwr(ll18ll The auspicious or Yoga results occur during the Dasa and Bhukti of two Yogakaraka planets (the Kendra and Trikona lords) and such results also occur in the Dasa of Bhukti of such unrelated auspicious planets (Yogakarakas) falling between the Dasas or Bhuktis of the two main planets. ## Page 72 74 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika Notes-Suppose the Lagna is Aries. If the 10ft lord Saturn and the 5th lord Sun are related as told earlier then they form greatly auspicious combination. Suppose the 9th lord Jupiter is not related to the Sun and Saturn. Then in the Dasas of the Sun and Saturn, the Bhukti of auspicious Jupiter being the 9*h lord though unrelated to the Sun and Saturn, will also produce auspicious (Yogakaraka) rsults. Pt. Sita Ram jha has given another interpretation. He takes the prose order thus- rqgs.{rrfiTM rdrfin€ft zffiuft 3 I q{n{dtrqqrTd: grtTYI: trt: qi(tt In the Mahadasa of an unrelated auspicious planet, even in the Bhukti of one Yogakaraka and in the Pratyantara of another Yogakaraka, the results of the Yoga are realised. The logic he forwards is thus : q{FTr ffis qtg$qfr TITWF:I i ffi: qr{ sqvrrg d+s frl I q$qk {'1lT drr' vrq-*16561 nP', In this world, a virtuous person ever strives to do good to other people. But a wicked person always tries to do harm to others even if it may not serve any purpose to him. Similar is the case with auspicious planets. During the course of their Dasa, whenever the Bhukti and Pratyantara of Yogakarakas occur, they yield Yogakaraka results. Conclusively we can state that if the Dasa of an auspicious (Yogakaraka) planet intervenes between the Dasa of the related 9th and LO'h lords (Kendra and Trikona lords) then the Dasa of this unrelated auspicious planet also produces auspicious results. More explicitly, it is not necessary that this auspicious planet must be related with the 9'h and LO'h lords. If there exists a relation, then complete Yoga is formed. This may be extended to the Bhuktis of the 9'h and LOth lord as in the example earlier. ## Page 73

75 Example -If in a Taurus Lagna chart the 4th lord Sun and the 9th and L0'h house lord Saturn are related then both become Yogakarakas. If Mercury the Sth lord is not related to these two even then in Sun's Dasa or Saturn's Dasa, Mercury's Bhukti will give auspicious results. Similarly in Saturn's Dasa, Sun's Bhukti and Mercury's Pratyantara, the results will be auspicious. Here {le{ ll-6 means Trikona lord. The word 9l-cl: has.been used in the Sloka which tells that mixed results are also obtained in the Bhukti of such auspicious planets. This condition arises if Dasa lord is blemished. In that case this auspicious planet being not related with the Dasa lord is incapable of mending his blemish and in such conditions proportionately auspicious or mixed results are obtained. Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart the combination of Venus and Saturn is greatly auspicious. If Mercury (a Trikona lord) is unrelated to Saturn even then in Saturn's Dasa and Mercury's Bhukti results will be auspicious with a little Maraka effects because Mercury is also a feeble Maraka. But in Venus's Dasa and Mercury's Bhukti results will be proportionate or mixed because Venus is blemished being the 6th lord. Mercury cannot mend or eradicate the blemish of Venus because he is not related to Venus. Mercury will also cause feeble Maraka results like illness, debt, teasing from enemy etc. Example-In a Taurus Lagna chart, the relation of Mercury and Saturn produces a powerful Rajayoga. Then, if Saturn does not make any relation with the Sun and Mars even then in Saturn's Dasa the Bhuktis of the Sun and Mars will not be inauspicious because the Sun and Mars being Kendra lords are neutrals. However the combination of the Sun and Saturn will be productive of very auspicious results. Then if the 2"d and 5'h lord Mercury is related with the Sun, he will be productive of auspiciousness in his Bhukti in the Dasa of the Sun. Similarly if Saturn and Mars are r.elated then Mercury Bhukti will be auspicious inSaturn's Dasa but in Mars's Dasa Mercury's Bhukti will not be as auspicious but will give mixed results also with some Maraka effects. ## Page 74 76 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika Example - In a Thurus Lagna chart, if Mercury is related with the Sun instead of Saturn. Then in the Sun's Dasa Mercury's Bhukti will be more auspicious than Saturn's Dasa and Mercury's Bhukti because Mercury is related with the Sun to cause Yoga. Example-The followingchart is of a native in the computer business. The 9th lord Sun and the 10th lord Mercury are conjunct in the 12th house. The Sun's Dasa commenced on 30-10-1999. The Sun's Dasa and Bhukti proved auspicious for business. The Sun's Dasa and Moon's Bhukti was tense due to women folk at home. The Sun s Dasa and Mars's Bhukti made him to expand and renovate his business and thus increased his eainings. Mars is a Trikona lord aspecting the Yoga therefore productive of auspiciousness.

77 planets give Yoga results in their own Dasa and Bhukti and Pratyantara of Yogakaraka planets. For him clue lies in the following verse- qq**) qfr qrt(-+ seisfr faermq*':t ir{T( qrqisfr qq*} qfr qttrqdeq:tt Even bad persons in the company of noble persons mend their ways to help the latter. Similarly a malefic planet gives the results of the Yoga, if in any relationship with the Yogakaraka planets. In Sloka 18 was said that greatly auspicious results occur in the Dasa and Bhukti of Yogakaraka planets and even the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is productive of auspicious results. Here auspicious planets are productive of good results erien without relationship with the Yogakarakas. Now the question arises, can inauspicious planets be productive of auspiciousness, if they are relatedto Yogakaraka planets? The answer is that an inauspicious planet is productive of auspicious results according to his strength in his Bhukti, if he is related to Yogakaraka planets. In other words a Trishadaya lord who is neither a Kendra nor a Tiikona lord and is related to Yogakaraka planets; in his Dasa and Bhukti of the related Yogakaraka planets will produce mixed results according to the power of his inauspiciousness' Almost all the commentators have interpreted that inauspicious planet will give auspicious results. If this would have been the intention of the author of the text then he would have not contradicted it in Slokas 37 and 38 : crcr qR (flFilefi: u{rri nq:{Igq|-{l $ffi4: qvsTrqr€l-tr5;5.. {$!mqt 1 137,' q-qFa fqqm,r<t 5"rd mqql srcq(TrTrqrFtK[ arEifr ir(q'ltnql 138 I I If the Dasa lord is inauspicious then inauspicious results occur in the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet and mixed results ociur in the Bhukti of related auspicious planet but very inauspicious results occur in the Bhukti of uruelated inauspicious planet. ## Page 76 78 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika Now, it is evident from these Slokas that if the Dasa lord is inauspicious, the auspicious planet related to him gives mixed results in his Bhukti. Here if inauspicious planet is totally inauspicious as Jupiter for Libra Lagna and Mercury for Scorpio Lagna then the results will depend upon his strength and the strength of related auspicious planet. The word tfif( has been used only for the Bhukti of inauspicious planet not for the Dasa of Yogakaraka planet otherwise it will contradict Slokas 37-38. Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart, if the Sun and Saturn are related to produce greatly auspicious results and if the Moon is related to the Sun not to Satum then in the Sun's Dasa, the Moon's Bhukti and in the Moon's Dasa, Sun's Bhukti will be productive of mixed results. If the Moon is related to both the Sun and Saturn. Then Moon's Dasa and Saturn's Bhukti will be more auspicious than Sun's Bhukti. To generalise, we can say that Trishadaya lords if related to Yogakarakas are productive of mixed results in the Dasa of Yogakarakas and their own Bhuktis and vice versa. Tiishadaya lords if unrelated to Yogakaraka planets are productive of extremely inauspicious results in the Dasa of Yogakarakas and their own Bhuktis and vice-versa. Example-In the chart hereSaturn is Yogakaraka and Jupiter is unrelated inauspicious (Papa) Trishadaya lord.

Similarly, if the lord of a Kendra and Trikona (Rajayogadhikari) be related with the lord of a Trikona (wisdom) he produces auspiciousness everywhere, as is said : e$qe6q fi-*tqrg fsuJ€m g dq+qr ,rql: qq--trrriur q-*-{fr Tri vdqrr The Trikona houses are termed the houses of Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) while the Kendra houses are the housgs of Vishnu (the god of existence and sustainance) and relationship among their lords makes one an emperor whose fame spreads all around. The stronger the relationship due to various strengths of the planets, the stronger will be Rajayoga. If the concerned planets are in Simhasanamsa, the native of the chart will be an emperor, ruling the whole earth as is said: qffin 6M Tg{++f,c5ent qffirqTTn qdwe{rd qm-sfr{: | | sdq1agd u11-ilReTr 15qr gfqbt;1 In this combination (Rajayoga with the Yogakarakas in Simhasanamsa) were born, Harishchandra, Manu, Bali and other ## Page 78 80 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika emperors of olden times. In Kaliyuga, king Yudhishthira too was born in such a combination of planets. Ordinarily, Rajayogas confer much wealth, status and happiness to the native though they may not make him a king. The planet's strength is the key to the quality of Rajayoga. A planet in debilitatioru combustion etc. is dispossessed of strength, therefore incapable of confering auspiciousness. Upto now we talked of the Kendra and Trikona lords but the question arises what will be the results, if a Kendra or Trikona lord at the same time happens to be a Trishadaya or 8th house lord as for a Gemini Lagna chart Mercury conjunct Venus be related to Saturn who is also the 8tr'house lord; for a Cancer Lagna chart Jupiter being the 9th lord is also the 6th lord; for a Capricorn Lagna chart the 9th lord Mercury also happens to be the 6tr'house lord and for an Aquarius Lagna chart Mercury being the 5th house lord also owns the 8th house. A Yogakaraka is a joint lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona, if he happens to be related to a blemished Tiikona lord, then the blemish does not influence the combination any way because auspiciousness of the Yogakaraka planet is so great that it eradicates the blemish. If a Rajayogakaraka planet (the same lord of a Kendra and a Trikona) is related to another Kendra lord is not as powerful as when related to a Trikona lord. In a Taurus Lagna chart if Saturn (the 9th and 10'h lord) is related to Mercury (the 5s and 2nd lord), it is the best Yoga for Taurus Lagna. In a Cancer Lagna chart, if Mars (the 5h and L0th lord) is related to the Moon or Jupiter the 6th and 9ft lord will be the best Yoga for Cancer Lagna but Mars+Moon Yoga will have an edge over the others because the Moon is unblernished at all. Similarly in Thurus Lagna chart Mercur/+$nfp6 Yoga will have an edge over Saturn+Sun Yoga but in Mercury+Saturn combination, Mercury is also a Maraka : 3Tt-{Eli {rqftrs q*qnq'ut*gr ye{4fr flmur grq{il ffiq31g ## Page 79

81 Initially Raiayoga results of Saturn+Mercury Yoga are felt but later Maraka results also acrue to the native. In a Libra Lagna chart Saturn (the 4th and 5'h lord) and Mercury (the 9'h and 12tr' lord) form the best Yoga, if related. [n a Leo lagna chart Mars+]upiter combination will be less auspicious than Mars+Sun combination as Jupiter also owns the 8h house. Example-In the chart of Swami Karpatri ji the Lagna is Cancer and Mars (a Yogakarka) aspects ]upiter the 9th lord but Jupiter does not aspect Mars therefore the exchange of aspects is partial. The 9'h lord is exalted and the Rajayogakaraka Mars is in Jupiter's sign Sagittarius. Swamiji was a great saintly personality who commanded honour and respect.

Rahu and Ketu as Yogakarkas- qE *i ffim qr frr+tdi nritudtr tT*lrqaffi gcrjerrcilrtinrrihlt p 1 ll If Rahu or Ketu occupy a Kendra or a Trikona and by occupying a Kendra be related to Trikona lord or by occupying a Trikona be related to a Kendra lord then they become Yogakarakas. i Notes-A planet gives results by blending his own 'signfications with the significations of the house he occupies. Mere placement of Rahu or Ketu is not found auspicious as is said in fataka Parijata. i -r$ <vruffa*aqfrd rr€I f{d'ilqrrA g tfir +d ffisfr qqq: +dferd 1;qsq-a ffi1; When Rahu is in the Lagna, the person will be bereft of compassion, virtues and will be afflicted by diseases. Ketu in the Lagna makes the perqon a miser. When aspected by a benefic, the person enjoys like a king. Again, ' $pfqqrgiw: gci v.un* *ft w: eFooffiq t'frr When Rahu is in the Sth house, the person is a coward. He is compassionate but will be poor. If Ketu is in the 5th house, one is wicked and will always be troubled by diseases. But these are general results associated with natal astrology. Here we are concerned with the results in Dasas and Bhuktis due to ownership of houses. Rahu and Ketu Jb shadowy planets and clo not have orbs. They are simply the intersections of the paths of earth and the Moon. Thus, they are magnetic points always sticking to the qualities of the houses and planets they are conjunct with or the planets they are related with. fi ## Page 81

83 Rahu and Ketu being shadowy planets will act according to the house they occupy. If lord of the house is strong, they are strong and if weak, they are weak. Similarly if their dispositor is a Yogakaraka, they will function as Yogakarakas. Likewise they also accluire the auspicious and inauspicious characteristics of the planet conjunct to them' Conclusively we can say- (a) If Rahu and Ketu are alone- (0 In a Kendra they will be neutral while in a Trikona they will be auspicious. (ii) In the 7th or 2nd house they will function as Marakas. (iii) In the lrd, (,th or 1Lth house they will be inauspicious' (i") In the 12th house they will be neutral. (v) In the 8th house they will be direly evil. (b) If conjunct with the planets- (i) In a Trikona with a Kendra lord, Yogakaraka. (ii) In a Kendra with a Trikona lord, Yogakaraka. (iii) In the 3rd,6th or Lltr'house with their lords, inauspicious. (iv) With the 8'h house lord inauspicious but auspicious if ./. conjunct in the 8thhouse. '(v) In the 2n't or 7d'house with their lords, specific Marakas. (vi) In the L2'h house with the 1.2'h lord, neutral. Example-ln a Libra Lagna chart, if Rahu is in the 9th in Gemini, then Rahu functions as the 9'h lord and more powerfully if associated with Mercury. If the same Rahu is in the 12th house alone then it lvill be neutral and if associated with Mercury in the L2'r'house then also it will be neutral being associated with the 12tr'house lord. About Rahu and Ketu, earlier there was a Sloka: qs-{sTrq'd erfr qer{ rnaq[sgn\r a+e+;-qrfr y-i-d YffidT' affirr ## Page 82 84 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika In this context notes were given. It was also told how Rahu ancl Ketu behave when associated with other house lords. In the Sloka here the word TIrtr*I or relation has been used, not the word "Td or association. According to this text, relations are of four types but here only place or house relation has been considered. The reason perhaps is that Rahu-Ketu do not own any sign, therefore they can not form any relation except house occupation. Thus, the Sloka simply means, if Rahu and Ketu in a Kendra are associated with a Trikona lord or in a Trikona are associated with a Kendra lord or are associated with a Trikona lord in a Trikona then only they are Yogakarakas. They are neutral in a Kendra even if with its lord. This has been elaborated at length earlier. If Rahu in a Kendra is aspected by a Trikona lord even then it is be a mild Yogakaraka unless it does not occupy the sign of the aspecting planet. This is possible for Taurus Lagna if Rahu is in Aquarius in the 10'h house and is aspected by Saturn from the Lagna, the 4thor 8d'house, then it is aspected by th lord Saturn also. In this text the aspectual relation is only possible when the planet is aspected by his dispositor. Thus, Rahu-Ketu are devoid of mutual aspectual relation according to the text as they do not own any sign and also do not have a physical body and luminousity as well. Example-In the chart hereunder Rahu in a Trikona is associated with a Kendra lord Mars therefore produces a Rajayoga. Jupiter \ 5,/ *1" ,/ {r \ 1 8 \ Rahu Mars 11 \./,, I-%N Ketu Moon Venus Lagna Sun Mercury )upiter Rahu Saturn Mars ## Page 83

85 But the association of saturn as the 8th lord reduces the auspiciousness considerably which would have nullified only, if tfre 9th lord Jupiter would have joined the combination according to previous Sloka. Extinction of RaiaYoga - erffiftr#I r*l-f,rcnfqfr qfrl ad: gq*rrnlur q +rf ltsrt =t{rttzzlt If the lords of the 9'h and L0'h houses also own the 8th and 1L*h houses, a person does not enioy any Yoga through their relationship. Notes-Earlier it was stated that the combination of the th and 1,0,h lords produces auspiciousness provided the dther inauspicious lords do not afflict the combination. Inauspicious lords are the lords of the 3'd, 6th, 1Lth, 8th, 2nd and l'2th houses. The 8,h lord is supremely inauspicious and deadly evil, then come the lords of the 11th- 6th and 3'd houses in the reducing order of evil. The lords of the 2nd and 12'h houses cause evil only in association with other evil or inauspicious house lords. The 8th lord and then the Llth lord are the most inauspicious or evil. The 3"thouse lord is least inauspicious. According to Maharishi Parasara, if a Kendra or Trikona lord also owns tha Sth or Llth house, he cannot produce Yoga by any mealls as is said : d qdfd( trCffisfr q: q-Cfqd qqqril+fr1 dd: tser sr( qfs ql {rqgqs gf;r:ll If a righteous person follows unrighteous path and another one who does not spend for righteous cause, when the two are united, how can they be auspicious for righteousness and expansion of kingly comforts ? The above condition applies only when the malefics Mars and saturn own the l.Lth house; if venus is the LLth lord then this does not apply to him in full measure for Venus being a benefic is the only ptinet who can be a Kendra.lord besides being the 11th lord. ## Page 84 86 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika Mars and Saturn owning the 3'd and 6th houses if are also jointly the Kendra and Tiikona lords in a Rajayoga combination, they do not cause much inauspiciousness because the 3'd and 6tr' are weak houses for the evil. Some of the auspiciousness is still present in the combination. The 2"'t and L2'h house lords joining the Kendra and Tiikona lords combination do not cause any change in the Rajayoga results however this conjunction is good for auspicious results in such lord's Dasas and Bhuktis. If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related and a third planet being the 8tr'or 1L'r'house lord is related to one of the Yoga causing planet or a single Rajayogakaraka planet (as Saturn for Taurus Lagna), the Yoga causing property is not vanquished. The Yoga causing property is only depleted when the Kendra and Tiikona lords also happen to be the 8tr' and 11tr' house lords at the same time. Here it should be clear that only the auspiciousness of the combination is destroyed however planet's individual results still occur. The demand of the Sloka does not seems to apply verbatim because for none of the Lagna, the 9th and 8'h lord and the 10th and lLth lords can be two planets. The language of the Sloka seems to have got corrupt with the passage of time. However, the essence should be, if the 9'h lord being the 8th lord gets related with the l,Otr'lord or the 10'h lord being the Ll,th lord is related to the th house lord the greatly auspicious results or Rajayoga does not occur but fair amout of auspiciousness is still present. Sri Vinayaka Sastri opines that for Aries and Gemini Lagnas no Yoga can occur through the relationship of Jupiter and Saturn as told above. He further says, for q*fl or the 9th lord we should consicler all the Trikona lords and 6o1q-fw or the 10'h lord we should infer all the Kendra lords. A Tiikona lord can never be the 11tr'house lord but a Kendra lord can be the 1l.th and 8th house lord. Therefore, he suggests that in a wider sense we should interpret it as, if the Kendra and Trikona lords happen to be the 8th and 11th lords, the Rajayoga is vanquished and one cannot enjoy the greatly auspicious results. Sri Sastri's viewb though have some depth, still we forward our discussion further. ## Page 85

" " In a Gemini Lagna chart if Mercury and Venus associate with or are related to the 3'd Tiikona lord Saturn who also happens to be the 8,h lord then will it be a Rajayoga ? The answer is that other Trikona lord is so auspicious that it can eradicate the evil of being the 8th or 11,h lord. A Rajayogakaraka pla_net (a single lord of (endra and Trikona) is also capable of this. For Gemini Lagna the relation of Saturn and Venus cannot produce Yoga for want of Kendra lordship. However the association of Mercury fulfils this neecl. Moreorrui M"r.rry being the Kendra and Trikona lord also helps in the eradication of the 8'h house evil of Saturn' In a Cancer Lagna chart the relation of Mars (a Kendra and Trikona lord) and fupiter is a Rajayoga. so is the same combination for Leo Lagna for then )upiter happens to be the 5'h and 8e lord' Example-Hereunder is Aquarius Lagna chart' Venus happens to be a Rajayogakaraka planet bging the same-lord of th; A'n and 9'r'houses.

The 8h from the 8'h house is also likewise i.e., the 3'd house is also a house of longevity. The L2th houses counted from these two houses are called Maraka (death-inflicting) houses. Thus the 7th and 2"'t houses in a horoscope are Maraka (death inflicting) houses. Notes-There is no doubt that the 8'h house is the house of longevity. The evil nature of the 8th lord has been discussed earlier. The 9th house is the most auspicious house; therefore the L2tr'house from it indicates its drainage which is the 8'h house, the deadly evil house. The loss of life is the suPreme loss i.e., death. Death is the supreme truth in this universe. One who takes birth l'ras to die one day. Therefore, the most inauspicious in this universe is death, which falls under the domain of the 8th house of the horoscope. Out of all the houses in a horoscope one is the prime house and there are also secondary houses of it according to "Bhavat Bhavam" principle. ## Page 87

89 The secondary house is as much houses ahead of the prime house as the prime house is from the Lagna. The Sth is the house of intelligence therefore the 5s from the 5s i.e., the 9'h house from the Lagna also signifies intelligence i.e., the 9*h is the secondary house of intelligence. What is judged from the 5th house can also be judged from the 9th house secondarily. Similarly, the 8th from the 8th house i.e., the 3'd house from the Lagna is the secondary house of longevity. The drainage houses for the 8th and 3'd houses are the 7th and 2nd houses respectively, which are the Maraka houses. As the houses 6f longevity are prime and secondary, so are the Maraka houses. Thus, the 7th house is the prime Maraka house and the 2"d house is the secondary Maraka house. Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' counts the 7ft house as strong Maraka house. He argues : ftfrfqorg: ffi qgfucqt enJqFrqrg:€{H qrdTl tffiqs nqqsr-qr q'rdffisqgfqqt qfd Some of the commentators of Laghu Parasari are at variance and promote the view that the 2nd house is the prime Maraka house. The text clears that the 7h house is a Maraka house without doubt as'qgqqqfffiq r*H C {rTq-E:' Venus is considered most inauspicious in Maraka context. According to Bhavartha Ratnakara: tT€Ti g qkr€I wrcIqfi;rl{r.F:t Em: otft f{T{fiTfd dfrfuor fq5:rl Bhavartha Ratnakara follows Parasara principles where Mars is not considered as Maraka for Taurus Lagna though he becomes the 7th and 2"'l houses lord: adrmti g .JIlirFI eFGlq-q;ilzl'.F':l r 6tfr Ea: !N: fr*rc E;l qgl-zl:ll Venus acquires the.worst Kendradhipatya Dosha; evil due to quadrangular lordship because he is also the Karaka of the 7th house. Being the 2'"1and 7'h lord for Aries Lagna his results ## Page 88 90 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika are to be decided on 7'h house lordship. Hence he is a deadly Maraka. Contrary to this Mars a natural malefic also owns the 7th and 2nd houses for Libra Lagna. But he does not acquire Kendradhipatya Dosha and becomes neutral for being a Kendra, the 7'h house lord. Hence Mars is not considered severe Maraka for Libra Lagna. Concluding, we can say that the 7th house is prime Maraka house. For Cancer Lagna Saturn is considered Maraka as he owns the 7'h house besides being lord of the 8th house. On Determination of Maraka Planets- @{tr{trt(l ilfrRrg{ffi 1161; wft1afrq {{trr:ll24ll tei eN'nffig€sra freli TUTr(l tsrqgnr+ qrqn{qqffi t tz s t t Out of the two Maraka houses first one is more powerful than the other; death occurs in the Dasa of their lords. If malefic planets occupy these houses in conjunction with Maraka lords, death occurs in the Dasas of these malefic planets. If death does not occur in the Dasas of these malefics then it occurs in the Dasa Bhukti of the 12'h house lord. Notes-The word erg in Sloka 24 is interpreted in two ways' If counted from the Lagna first Maraka house is the 2"d house' Therefore some argue that it should be the stronger Maraka house. In Sloka 23, the 8'h house is taken first then following the words sTqrqKqq, the 3'd house becomes the secondary house of longevity' Therefore the word el|-€I should not be interpreted in relation to the Lagna rather it should be interpreted in relation to the 8'h house and thus 7s house becomes the stronger Maraka house. Natural benefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon when own Kenclra houses acquire Kendradhipatya Dosha and this Dosha is particularly effective when these planets being the 7th lord occupv the 7,h or the 2n't house. The malefics conjunct with ## Page 89

91 these Marakas can cause death in their Dasas or Bhuktis. The Maraka planets can cause death in their Dasas or Bhuktis and this is particularly true when they occupy Maraka houses. When death occurs, the following Sloka illustrates- qKm-Fr E{tT-dhrd qrfqt{PTs qfu;I:l or4 qlgw q-* €rrd frg+ ffirt sTqs{A qqffi qqq Turql e{qra 6{qqraYr{rqfuqEtfffi5 | I r<urdse{qrs q{nqr frtr{ gq:t \rdq{ndffi ffiq gfr ic(rr The malefics related with Maraka planets can cause death. The relationship here does not mean four pronged relatiortship but only conjunction is intended because the word'gTdt' is used in the Sloka. Now who are the malefics. Here in the text the Trishadaya lords have been decleared inauspicious while the 8'h lord is termed as greatly inauspicious or deadly evil. Pt. Vinayaka Sastri holds that the wordVlfutis used instead of qrq in the text therefore inauspicious planets declared in the text cannot be taken here. The wordqrfuthere is specific for the natural malefics (Mars, Saturn, Mercury conjunct malefics, the weak Moon and Rahu) who are debilitated, in enemy sign, combust, conjunct malefics, being malefics also own evil or inauspicious houses etc. When these {Ifut or malefics conjunct the Marakas, can be death inflicting or can cause death in their Dasa Bhuktis. If these do not cause death in their Dasa-Bhuktis then the 12th house lord from the Lagna comes into the picture, if being a malefic he is in the above stated degradations and is placed in a Maraka house or conjuncts a Maraka. Serialising the Marakas in descending order- (i) The 7'h house lord and associated malefics. (ii) The 2"'t house lord and associated malefics.

Firstly most important is to fix the 1o1e-evr]f .fccording to the principles set forth in standard works like Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, Brihat |ataka, |ataka Pariiata etc., Parasara says : q-flgqtqqwlg: gqlqfTd d'rett fqrnq Ytm 5$ rTrc*1 qftfifl{t(lt After fixing the span of longevity one shgufd determine which Maraka-Daru-Iihnkti operite at the end of that span of longevity and that Maraka Dasa-Bhukti will terminate life. The Uaiata basa-Bhuktis in operation earlier to these will only cause diseases, sorrows and other troubles. Now what is span of longevity ? The short longevity span is upto 32 years, the medium is upto 64years and the long is upto O6 y"utt. for the calculations of longevity-readers *uy. q9 lhrough juigement of Longevity by D. P. Saxena, published by IVI/s Rani an Publications. ## Page 91

93 Maharishi Jaimini suggests to calculate the life span by the Lagna lord and the 8s lord; the Moon and the Lagna; and the Lagna and Hora Lagna. Suppose the birth is in Virgo at 28 Ghatis after sunrise. Multiply 28 by f we g"t T = tt+. Count eleven signs from Virgo which are the Hora signs passed i.e., the signs passed are upto 1 Cancer. f is in Leo. Thus Leo is Hora Lagna. faimini Suhas by Prof P.S. Sastri is the most complete and authentic work in this respect. Suggestions for longevity based on the Lagna and the 8h lord are- In the above table Cardinal Lagna lord means the Lagna lord occupying a cardinal sign, similarly dual Lagna lord means the Lagna lord in dual sign and so on. Both the {-agna lord and 8'h lord's pair is judged. Thus three tables for the lagna lord and 8ft lord; the Lagna and Hora Lagna; the Moon and Lagna should be prepared and judged as above. Some scholars take Saturn and Mooninstead of the Moonand Lagna. The tabie givenabove is a specimen. The span of longevity arrived at by the two or three pairs should be adopted. If all the three pairs show differently then the life span should be fixed finally by the Lagna and Hora Lagna. If the Lagna lord is friendly to the Sun then long life may be anticipated, if neutral then medium and if enemy then short life. Long span Medium span Short Span. Cardinal Lagna Lord Cardinal Sm lord Cardinal Lagna Lord Fixed 8h lord Cardinal Lagna lord Dual 8th lord Fixed Lagna lord Dual8h lord Fixed Lagna lord Cardinal S'h lord Fixed Lagna Lord Fixed 8fr lord Dual Lagna Lord Fixed 8h lord Dual Lagna lord Dual86lord Dual Lagna lord Cardinal 8h lord ## Page 92 94 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika This view of sarvartha Chintamani is unacceptable, for then all the natives born in the signs of Saturn and Venus will be short lived. Many other Yogas on longevity are scattered through out the astrologilal classics and majority decision should be adhered to. Suppose there are many Yogas in favour of medium longevity then the termination of liie will occur near to the extreme end i.e., near to 64 years as the medium life span starts at 32 years arrd extends uPto 64Yeats. Yogas extending LongevitY - (i) The strong Lagna - Lagna lord and the Moon - Moon sign lord. (ii) Benefic aspects or conjunctions to the above four' (iii) The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord in occupation of a Kendra, Trikona, the 2nd, Ll"th or 8'h houses' (i") Malefics occupying the 3'd,6th and L1'h houses t I (*r) Jupiter or Jupiter and the Moon conjunction in the Lagna' (vi) The Lagna and 8'r'lords in conjunction' (vii) The Lagna and 8.h lords in exaltation, own or friendly signs. (viii) The Lagna lord, iupiter and Venus occupying a Kendra or Trikona. (i*) The Lagna and 8.r.lords be mutually friends, strong and be in the cardinal signs. (t) The Kendra and Trikona lords be strong' with the strength of above houses and planets one_is well to clo, fortunate and discriminative. These qualities make one to go for purposeful living and thus increase in the longevity is achieved. Yogas depleting LongevitY - (i) The weakness of the Lagna, Lagna lord, the Moon and the Moon sign lord' (ii) Afflications of the lords at (i) or their placement in Trishadaya houses. ## Page 93 95 \ Lag h u Pa rasa ri -J ataka C h an d ri ka (iii) Birth in Mrityu Bhagas or in junction of signs. (i") Birth in bad omens on 14th or L5tr'day of dark fortnight. (") Thc Moon in Mrityu Bhagas afflicted in a Kendra or 8th house. (ui) Malefics in Kendra, Trikona or the 8'h house. 'i Thus by balancing the good and bad Yogas, the longevity span be fixed and Dasa Bhukti of Maraka be determined. Example - Let us study the chart of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. (i) The Lagna lord Moon is friendly to the Sun = Long life. (ii) The Lagna and Lagna lord, the Moon and the Moon sign lord are strong = Long life. (iii) The Lagna lord and the Moon sign lord in a Kendra = Long life. (i") The Lagna and the Moon afflicted by Saturn = Loss of longevity. (") Natural malefics in Kendra and Tiikona = Loss of longevity. These indicate death immediately after the start of long life span. According to Jaimini system the Lagna lord and 8th lord and lhe Lagna and the Moon indicate long life. The two negative factors above indicate death with in few years of the start of long life span.rc /2 upiter t\/ \ ii.l X 10 ,/.*rX'Y" 72 fupiter Ketu Birth t9-"11.-7977 Lagna Saturn Moon Mars Venus Rahu Sun Mercury ## Page 94 96 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika she got saturn,s Dasa commenced in February, 1970. Saturn is undoribtedly a Maraka for his afflictions to the Lagna and his Dasa also falls at the proper death period' If saturn himself happens to be a Maraka then he inflicts death in his or other planet's Dasa-Bhukti which in characteristics is similar to Saturn. fn Saturn's Dasa, Rahu's Bhukti commenced in september 1983. Previous to Rahu's Bhukti were Bhuktis of Mars and the Moon which are Yogakarakas. Next Bhukti to Rahu,s is of Jupiter who being a Tiikona lord could not have killed.

Notes-Slokas 24 and 25 and present two Slokas are very important and their interpretation should be clearly borne in ## Page 95

97 mind. In this text malefics mean natural malefics like Mars, saturn, Rahu the sun, the Moon with deficient rays and malefic associated Mercury and the rest are natural benefics' The lords of auspicious houses are auspicious for the material benefits and the lords of inauspicious houses are termed as inauspicious in this respect. These are the terms used in this text for vaiious planets according to their lordships' Now Yoga producing ability and Maraka property are two different cfiarlcteristiCs of the same planet and function simultaneously though these are contrary to each other. In other words the same planEt can function in two different ways at the same time. Now let us understand various terms used in four slokas including preceding two slokas- Tfrlvrgwrrfiilr: Consider the 7th lord, the 2"d lord, Venus with Kendradhi- patya Dosha, Kendrapati Jupiter and then the 12th house lord in ivtaiata context first, in the reducing order of strength. These occupying the Maraka houses are first grade Marakas' Iilfirt: when the above planets occupy places other than Maraka houses should acquire further maleficence like debilitation, combustion, associltion with inauspicious planets, deposition in enemy signs etc. to become second grade Marakas. one who acquires mu;rifold maleficence of the type acquires more Maraka evil. HrqTr(qqTsffi! ,* If the Dasa-Bhuktis of the 'above Marakas do not fall in longevity span then look out if the l.2th house lord occupies a Maiaka -ho.tsu, to be a Maraka. To be a Maraka, he will have to acquire evils further like debilitation etc. if he occupies houses other than Maraka houses. tt {gtt: ff tne D3sa-Bhuktis of all the above planets do not fall in the longevity siran then consider the following order- ## Page 96 98 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika (i) The planets in Maraka house conjunct the 7h lord or have acquired the evils like debilitation, combustion etc. (ii) The planets in Maraka houses conjunct the 2nd lord or are aspected by evil planets in debilitation etc. (ii| Similarly the planets in the above houses conjunct Kendra lords Jupiter, Venus etc. with (iv) Similarly the planets in the above houses conjunct with the 12th house lord.

(iii) The 6'h lord occupying the Maraka house or elsewhere be in the state as in (i).

(ii) Any auspicious planet who has acquired the evils like . deblitation, combustion etc. ffiqqMr;Tr( If the Dasa-Bhuktis of the above order also do not fall in the calculated longevity span then adopt following last order- (i) The 8'h lord wherever he is and even if in exalted state he is. , (ii) The L1h house lord. (iii) The 6s house lord. (i") The 3'd house lord. The Marakas indicated here are in the reducing order of the Maraka evil. If the Maraka Dasa-Bhukti is noticed in the top order then we need not proceed further. As single Trikona lord cannot bestow Rajayoga in the same way single Maraka cannot inflict death, only inflicts adverse results. To inflict death he has to relate himself with some malefic. If a Maraka planet i.e., the 7th or 2nd house lord is associated with a malefic, he forms a first grade Maraka combination. In chapter on Preliminaries it is said- qrc*-dsfr q 6ff1;6ar5aqRqfr ; 1 1 As Kendra lords Jupiter and Venus are strong Marakas particularly if occupying the 7'h house, next in order are Mercury and the Moon. If malefics like Mars, Saturn and the Sun own the 7'h house they do not become Marakas as they leave their maleficence by owning a Kendra, thus become neutral and are simply adverse in their Dasa-Bhukti. If Jupiter or Venus as Kendra lords occupy the 7th house in conjunction with malefics then they become Marakas jointly and surely in their respective 99 ## Page 98 100 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chand rika Dasa-Bhukti. If both related the other way and notin th: i:lhouse it"n trturuka results are anticipatory, however they inflict evil results in their Dasa-Bhukti' Example - In Gemini Lagna chart, if Jupiter-Saturn' Jupiter- tvtars orlupiter-sun are in th;7,h house, the native will die in the Ooru ofl"piter and in the Bhukti of Saturn or Mars' Death is ufro pottiUie in Jupiter's Dasa and Sun's Bhukti as the Sun is the ili f,orrr" lord and is inauspicious.

If saturn is not related to Marakas then Marakas will function in a normal way and the strongest of them will inflict death but saturn even if weak is related to Marakas then he himself will become strongest Maraka to inflict death' saturn being the 7th lord is also the 8th lord for Cancer Lagna therefore he is a strong Maraka. If he is located in the 7th house he is very very strong in trtis context or is related to Marakas who are debilitated or combust.

But they confer only ordinarily such results in their Dasas and Bhuktis. Notes - In this Sloka a general principle has been propounded that planets do not give entire results of their house -wnership in their Dasas and own Bhuktis i.e., wheu the Dasa and Bhukti lord is one and the same planet, he does not give his entire results due to ownership during his own Dasa-Bhukti. The word slltrTqltN-{Fq is used in a wider pretext i.e., the Dasa lord's sign occupatiory house ownership, his aspects, aspects over him, relationship with other house lords, his own natural characteristics, debilitation, exaltation, Karkatwa etc., all these goocl and evil states of the planet collectively and comprehensively are included in the word. slfeqcrTtm(Fql Therefore a planet does not give his entire sTfiCqHf{5q results in his own Dasa-Bhukti however a few results can still be experienced. ## Page 102 104 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika The above Sloka tells us the peculiarity of Dasa lord's own Bhukti. Every planetary Dasa starts with its own Bhukti or Antardasa. Thus, the Sun's Dasa commences with his own Bhukti spreading over a period of 3 months and 18 days. The substance is that the whole of the auspicious or inauspicious results of a planet cannot be expected in his own Bhukti when his Dasa has commenced. Suppose in a chart jupiter owns the 9th house. It should not be proclaimed immediately that the most fortunate period would be ]upiter's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa. But as Sri Vinayaka Sastri says-a-dser E ffite i.e., results in own Bhukti will only be to some extent. When a planet gives his entire results will be told in the slokas to follow. eilHsqFq+ i q i er flqqEfrur; 1 irqrwiqynfr ffifr Eqvfitn-<'r { B o r r The planets produce results characteristic to them in the Bhuktis or Antardasas of planets related to them and similar to them in characteristics and quality. Notes-Whatever we have studied in the text upto now, we can say that the Yogakaraka planet gives his greatly auspicious results in his Dasa. The Maraka, evil or inauspicious planet inflicts his Maraka evil or inauspicious results in his Dasa. This is logically certain. But the Dasa period is spread over a long period' The auspicious, Yogakaraka, inauspicious, Maraka etc. results then cannot be possibe through out the long Dasa period. This Sloka and Slokai yet to be studied form the delineation methods for such intricacies. Suppose Mars is a Yogakaraka for cartain Lagna but then Mars cinnot show his greatly auspicious resultscontinuously in his 7 years Dasa period. we have to fractionalise this period into Bhuktis of various T|Ufi Su6nutmi and qq-*fr Sambandi planets etc. of the Dasa lord Mars as is stressed in this Sloka. The clue for qq-*fi and qqfr Hes in the verse- ## Page 103 Lag h u Parasa ri -J ataka Chand r i ka 105 srQ qqfqd qr qqffifrr qqrrrir srfffi dsfr qqiqF;fr ffi< qtt ' Efd @ tffi aqr qflrun ffi1 (' ffid er{Snrr'd(ll When our relatives and friends or people of our position and capacity assemble at our home, we display our capacity and stitus honouring and respecting them to our utmost ability and when they leave, we return to our normal life course. Similarly planets display their results to fullest extent in their own Dasas andBhuktiesof their (qrrxfr) Sambandhiand (€qfi) Sadharmi planets. Now who are 3il-Ff{IE-*fr and qqfr planets. qc{-Sq-{fi , Atma- sambandhi are those planets, who are friends or both of ihem are debilitated or both of them are exalted. The Sun and the MoorU the Sun and Mars, the Sun and Jupiter, Mars and Jupiter, Mercury and Venus and Venus and Saturn are friends. Therefore, they are Atma-sambandhis. venus and saturn are fast friends i.e., in charts where Saturn is a Kendra lord, Venus is also a Kendra lord and where Venus is a Trikona lord, Saturn is also a Trikona lord. Sadharmis are the planets with the same character' Character means what? Character means Yogakarkatwa, auspiciousness, inauspiciousness, neutrality, Maraka property, owning Kendras owning Trikonas, owning Trishadayas and owning the 2nd and 12'h house. The lords of one unit are Sadharmis' Sadharmis due to houses are - (i) The lords of Lagna and 7th houses, (ii) the lords of 2nd and 12th houses, (iii) the lords of 3'd and 1.1th houses, (i") the lords of 4'h and 10'h houses, (") the lords of 5rt and 9'h houses, and ("i) the lords of 6'h and 8th houses are Sadharmis. Thus, the classification of planets be done and results be anticipated keeping the following points in mind- (i) In a planet's Dasa, his own Bhukti does not fully yield ## Page 104 106 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika planet's results though he may be a Yogakaraka or Maraka. If the planet is a Yogakaraka his results due to this character are not experienced though some ausPiciousness is there. Similarly a Maraka cannot kill but can pile up adversities to some extent. (ii) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet his full results occur in the Bhukti of other Yogakaraka i.e., auspicious and Atma- Sambandhi planet, who is related to the Dasa lord. (iii) In the Dasa of a Maraka planet whenever there is Bhukti of other Maraka or Atma-sambandhi planet death occurs, if the longevity span expires, otherwise very evil results are certain to occur. (i") In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet, in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet and vice-versa, mixed results occur which are neither auspicious nor inauspicious. This point has been discussed extensively under the notes on Sloka L9. (") [n these Bhuktis of planets whichever Bhukti lord is most intimate to the Dasa lord under the pretext of the terms IIelfr Sadharmi and eTrarfsq--efr Atma-sambandhi that planet's Bhukti will exclusively give Yogakaraka or Maraka results leaving the other Bhuktis next in preferential order e.g. - Yogakaraka's Dasa + Strong Yogakaraka's Bhukti = great auspiciousness. Maraka's Dasa + Strong Maraka's Bhukti = deadly inauspicious results. Yogakaraka's Dasa + Maraka's Bhukti = Mixed results. Thus, a balance has to be maintained in results of Dasa and Bhukti relationships. Under the notes on Slokas 1"8 and 1"9 it was made clear that an ordinary Bhukti that is sandwitched between two auspicious or two inauspicious Bhuktis will give results respectively in accordance to the Bhuktis adjacent to it. Bhukti Lord Neutral in characteristics to Dasa lord- FdN qvrnrq1@tr{t rF,-dqurfr {RftT:tE}1tl ## Page 105 Lagh u Parasa ri -J ataka Ch and ri ka 107 The learned should depict discriminatively the results of Bhuktis of planets who are not related and are of contrary characteristics (Viruddha-dharmi) to the Dasa lord in accordance with their above natures. Notes-All the planets can be classified in two categories according to their relation with the Dasa lord- (i) Related planet (ii) Unrelated planet These can be further classified into three categories: (i) With same character (Sadharmi) (ii) With contrary character (Asadharmi) (iii) Neturalcharacteristically (Anubhaya-dharmi) Elaborating these more explicitly- Sadharmis are: AYogakaraka to othere Yogakaraka, an auspicious planet to other auipicious planet, a neutral to other neutral, a Maraka to other Maraka and an inauspicious to another inauspicious planet. Viruddha-dharmi or Asadharmi are: A Yogakaraka and an inauspicious planet, an auspic-ious and inauspicious, an auspicious and evil, a Yogakaraka and Maraka and an auspicious and Maraka planet. Anubhaya-dharmis are: A Maraka planet and an inauspicious planet, an inauspicious and neutral and a Maraka and a neutral planet. Following table shows the results- Dasa Lord Bhukti lord Nature of Results Same Related Sadharmi Exclusive Dasa lord's results t l Anubhaya-dharmi Reduced Dasa lord's results " Viruddha-dharmi Very few Dasa lord's results I t Unrelated Sadharmi Dasa lord's results t l Anubhaya-dharmi Mixed results " Viruddha-dharmi Less mixed results than above. ## Page 106 108 taghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika If a Trikona lord is unrelated to a Trishadaya loid tlrt'n in Tiikona lord's Dasa, the Trishadaya lord's Bhukti will give results according f6 sTTrf[urdl i.e., according to the nature of two lords, the results will be mixed results, more of the stronger planet. If a Trishadaya lord is related to a Tiikona lord or a Tiikona lord is related to the 8,h lord then in the Dasa of TrikOna lord and Bhukti of Trishadaya lord or 8ft lord there will be very few Trikona lord's results and mixed results will be there because the Trishadaya lord is not a Kendra lord. Similar will be the results in the Dasa of Tiishadaya lord and Bhukti of Trikona lord i.e., initially good results and bad later on or vice-versa. In the Dasa of Yogakaraka and the Bhukti of unrelated Anubhaya-dharmi initially there will be auspicious results first and later mixed or neutral results. In the Dasa of Maraka and theBhukti of unrelated Anubhaya Dharmi, first there will be inauspicious results and later mixed or neutral results. According to this text all the results of Dasas and Bhuktis depend on relationships, characteristics of planets and Sdquqdt i.e. tne result which is arrived at by the judicious application of principles. Results of Kendra and Trikona lord's Dasa Bhuktis- F{vnqiffi1adiffi: Iyrqt ffi(msfr aqr * +{ss+{ cTqirFtll32ll AKendra lord produces auspiciousresults inhis Dasa and in a Trikona lord's Bhulti, if both are related. similarly a Tiikona lord produces auspicious results inhis Dasa and Kendra lord's Bhukti, ir uott ur. t-"lut.d. If both are blemished and related feeble auspicious results occur and not related inauspicious results occur. Notes-The relation of Kendra and Tiikona lords produce auspicious results. This is undoubtedly true. The Dasa of one Yogikaraka and Bhukti of another Yogakarakl g:-ptoductive of lreatly auspicious results certainly. Kendra is Vishnu-sthana wh"ile Trikona is Lakshmi-sthana, therefore Yoea of Vishnu and ## Page 107 Lag h u Pa rasa ri -J ata ka C h and r i ka 109 Lakshmi bestows every thing auspicious in this material world. If the Kendra lord and Tiikona lord both are unblemished then it is the Yoga of top order. Here unblemished means the other signs of the two lords do not fall in inauspicious houses. By own-ing inauspicious houses both lose Yoga producing cipacity to a great extent. The word evil is more appropriate for c[tl-1[.-d Kendra lord. An evil Kendra lord in his Dasa and unblemished Trikona lord,s Bhukti bestows auspiciousness. who is an evil Kendra lord? Jupiter, Venus and Mercury if become Kendra and Trishadaya or 8th lords at the same time then they are-termed as evil Kendra lords. This evil is more with these benefics due to Kendradhipatya Dosha. If Saturn and Mars are suchevil Kendra lords then their evil is not of the order of benefics because no Kendradhipatya Dosha evil occurs to saturn and Mars. In this sloka the word crq-ff, or evil applies only to Kendra lords' For Trikona lords who become Trishadya lords or 8ft lord at the same time, the word qdq or blemished is more appropriate. An evil Kendra lord and blemished Tiikona lord cannot produce auspiciousness in their respective Dasa Bhr*ti. This has been discussed earlier under Sloka 15 of this text. Discriminatively we can conclude- (t If only malefic Kendra lord gets relatcd with unblemished Trikona lord, they will be greatly auspicious in their Dasa Bhukti. The word unblemished indicates that the planet should not additionally be lord of inauspicious houses' (ii) If a malefic planet owning a Kendra is further eviled by owning an inauspicious house or a such benefic Kendra lor': is reht6d to an unblemished Tiikona lord then also the lebdlt't will be geatly auspicious but less than those at (i)' (iii) If only a malefic Kendra lord is related with a Trikona lc. d which is blemished by owning an inauspicious house, the results are similar to those at (ii). Here ownership of inauspicious houses only reduces the intensity of Yoga. Th" Yoga is basically generated on account of relationship. Other planetary debilities like combustion, enemy ## Page 108 110 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika sign placement, debilitation etc. are the pri,me factors that adversely affect planet's ability to do any good and the Yoga is almost d-estroyed in that case. In this text we are only concerned with the behaviour of planets due to house lordships in their Dasas and Bhuktis. (i") If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are blemished and are related then very ordinarily auspicious results will occur in their respective Dasa-Bhukti. (v) If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are unblemished and are unrelated then also ordinarily auspicious results will occur in their respective Dasa-Bhukti. These results will not be due to the relationship but simply for not being blemished. ("i) If one of the Kendra or Trikona lord is blemished and both are unrelated then auspicious results are meagre rather almost nil in their respective Dasa-Bhukti. (vii) If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are blemished and are not related then the results will be inauspicious in their respective Dasa-Bhukti, there can be no doubt about it- Example-In the chart hereunder Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in the Lagna. The 9'h lord Jupiter is blemished being the 5'h lord while Venus is endowed with the evil of Kendradhipatya K;* rt""^Y /*Saturn \Mer 6 10 /72 Ketu 11 Ketu Sun Mercury Saturn Birth 29-6-1883 Venus fupiter Lagna Mars Moon Rahu Dosha and of being the 11th lord. Asboth the Kendra and Trikona lords are related and also both are blemished and eviled therefore ## Page 109 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chand rika 111 very feebly auspicious results will occur in their respective Dasa- Bhukti. Blending of Yogakaraka and Maraka Dasa-Bhuktis- silTrnfr $r+qrr*'gF*Tgl qsrqFil iFrrtlzt i6-EIVt: aTQTakrtt:t33ll vJcnr q rrtr*{ ffi +q?Frfrun{tts4tl If Rajayoga commences in the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet and in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet, this Bhukti only makes one famous due to authority gained but comforts of authority in real terms accrue in Bhukti of evil planet. Relation between the Dasa and Bhukti lords is essential. Similarly, if in a Yogakarka planet's Dasa, the Bhukti is of a related auspicious planet, the Rajayoga results are considerably large. In a Yogakaraka planet's Dasa, in the Bhukti is of an unrelated auspicious planet, the Rajayoga results are ordinary and no Yoga results are experienced in particular. The reverse also holds good the same way. Notes-There are three categories of planets: 1.. Auspicous or Yogakaraka 2. Inauspicious or the 8th, Trishadaya and Maraka lords. 3. Neutral or the 2"d and 12'h lords. A planet can be Karaka and Maraka at the same time. Then in this planet's Dasa initially in the Bhuktis of auspicious planetsYoga results are experienced and in the Maraka Bhukti later evil results occur. But in that Maraka Bhukti too initially the results are auspicous. It is only the later part of the Bhukti when Maraka results occur. Full results of a Yogakaraka Dasa cannot occur in one Bhukti exclusively but the Bhuktis of the related inauspicious planets also contribute for some of the results. According to Sloka 19, exclusive results only occur in an inauspicious Bhukti if the Yoga does not commence in a Maraka planet's Bhukti and this is ## Page 110 112 Lagh u Pa rasari'J ataka C h an d r i ka possible only when Maraka is not related to the Yogakaraka irfu""t.

If the next Bhukti is of a related Maralia planet then the Yogakaraka results will begin to fructilfy. If the earlier Bhukti would have been of a relai-ed inauspicious planet then Yogakaraka results would have begun to iructify with a little more intensity. A serialisation of v:arious Dasa-dhuktis results can be of benefit in understanding these intricacies in a systematic way: (i) Yoga results happen exclusively in the Dasa of a Yogakaraka \ / pliret and inthe Bhukti of another relatedYogakaraka and the results are considerably lessened, if both are not related to each other. (ii)Nextinordercometherelatedinauspiciousplanets \/i.e.,Tiishadayalords,SthhouselordandbeneficKendra lords and theiast one are the Maraka planets.

But Susloka Sataka a classic on Dasa results is variant here. 3T|-{E$ {rw}'rs qrqqr|s,,5Ftr5t rTdq q q+ffql ffifiiswdrqqrorr ## Page 111

;.113 This classic, ascribes the same kind of results to be shown by the related inauspicious and Maraka planets through the term qqrTrcfigtffS used in the Sloka. The inauspicious planets are the 8th lord, the Tiishadaya lords and benefic Kendra lords in the reducing order' The Marakas are less Yoga producing than the Trishadaya lords, if related to a Yogakaraka. (to) Therefore the Yogakaraka results of the Dasa lords are experienced in th;Bhuktis of related various Bhukti lords in the ascending order thus : (a) The least in related Maraka's Bhukti' iul e [ttle more in related inauspicious planet's Bhukti. i.t Considerably large in related auspicious planet's Bhukti.

Now we take up the results of unrelated Bhukti lords in the Dasa of a Yogakaraka Planet. ("i) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka- planet, the Bhukti of an unrelated auspicious planet will not be neutral but will give some auspicious turrltr. If this Bhukti falls between the two Yoga producing Bhuktis then it will not be obstructive to yogi results ratier will allow Yoga results to occur as they -".e occuring in earlier Bhuktis' In between inauspicious Bhuktislt witl maintain its neutral character. (vii) In the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet, the Bhukti of an ' unrelated inauspiciois planet will give neither good nor , bad results i.e., ihe tesuitr will be of mixed character. This , has been discussed under Sloka 31' exhaustively. If the Yogakarakaisstrongerofthetwoi.e.DasaandBhuktilords r tf,"""vil results will be less and if the Bhukti lord is stronger i . then the results will be neutral with more propensity ## Page 112 114 Lagh u Parasa ri -Jataka C h an d ri ka towards evil. In this context Susloka Sataka says- ersq-*fr {Iq*6 qqr qr+tvn lriqt ersre-{fr sd*6 qm qr+{vn mfq(rr (viii) Similarly, the Bhukti of unrelated Maraka planet will function according to tF"tTkfluq or strength acquired by the ' Bhukti lord due to occupation of sign, house etc. and the results will almost be of mixed type. (ix) Likewise in the Dasa of Maraka, inauspicious or auspicious planet, the results in the Bhuktis of Yogakaraka planets be deciphered. (x) In a Maraka planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of another related Maraka is dreadful, the Bhukti of a related inauspicious planet is a little less dreadful and the Bhukti of a related auspicious planet is neutral. (xi) Similarly, in an inauspicious planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of a related Maraka is adverse, that of a related auspicious planet is fairly good and that of Yogakaraka planet is auspicious. (xii) In the Dasa of an auspicious planet, the Bhukti of a related Yogakaraka is extremely auspicious, the Bhukti of an auspicious planet is auspicious ancl the Bhukti of a related Maraka is neutral or gives mixed results. Example-In the chart hereunder the Dasa of the Moon started on 13-10-1989. In the Moon's Dasa, Moon's Bhukti was insignificant.

Mars is a Tiishadaya lord in own house and aspecting the Dasa lord. His earning were good enough in this period. It will not be unwise to consider the relationships told in "Phala Deepika" as those seem to work fairly. 11{il ftqfdffirn fi Etu: #g rftuifr:t ffii qr frrlfr: Tqe6T't T*I tfiK:tl Being in sign exchange, occupying the same sign, in aspect to each other, being in a Kendra to each other and being in Trikona to each other are the five kinds of relationships. The Moorls Dasa and Jupiter's Bhukti was auspicious for him. Jupiter though a Maraka but being in the LOth house in own sign acted more as 10ft lord and he gained by some imports. Saturn s Bhukti was not good and was troublesome for Saturu is debilitated. Mercury's Bhukti was fairly auspicious as Bhukti lord is in the th house but not related to Dasa lord therefore the results were of Mercury's lordship. Ketu's Bhukti was neutral as both display neutral character. In Moon's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti (5'h lord) a Yogakaraka the native brought his elder son in business and started a new manufacturing unit. The results were predominantly of Venus (a Yogakaraka). In the Sun Bhukti the results were not good as the Sun is a Trishadaya lord and the native was penalised by govt. agencies for some misappropriations. He had to invest for the needs of the new project undertaken in Venus Bhukti. During the last seven years of the Moon's Dasa, transit of Saturn over the key planets hampered the results considerably as the Moon, the Dasa lord is a neutral planet. ## Page 114 116 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika , Example-In the chart hereunder Mercury and venus are conjunct in the 4th house as the 4h and 5'h house lords' 3 Jupiter t2 Ketu Moon Mars Mer Rahu Venus 9 Saturn Sun venus Dasa starts in the 23d year of this native.

Jupiter is Maraka unrelated to- Venus therefore |upiter's Bhukti will give only mixed results' Saturn though the "9,n^ lord is blemishedieing tire 8'h lord. According to Sloka 28 Saturn being in the 7h houie, a Maraka house' is being aspected ## Page 115 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika byJupiter, a Maraka being the 7s lord. Therefore saturn acquires p;i*; Maraka characterfitics. As he is unrelated to Venus the basa lord therefore the results of saturn Bhukti will be mixed. Next Bhukti is of related Mercury (a Kendra and Tiikona lord). The Dasa lord venus is auspicious and the Bhukti lord Mercury is a Rajayogakaraka, therefore according to Sloka 34' the results will be gtuitty auspicious. Next Bhukti is of Ketu, who acts as 10,h houie lord and is conjunct with Trishadaya and Maraka lords Mars and the Moon. Ketu is unrelated with Venus according to the rules of this text. Therefore in Venus Dasa, Ketu Bhukti will give only mixed resultS. In Auspicious Dasa, Bhukti of Yogakaraka- {tT{qrg g{r.RrFI qqnqr *rrqrrq, :t €TFffg r{6ffr E6-*ffilU u-d1 13 s | | If the auspicious planets are related with Yogakaraka.planets' then in the Dasa of auspicious planet, the Bhukti of the Yogakaraka seldom produces Yogakaraka results' Notes-If the Dasa is of an auspicious planet and the Bhukti is of a related another auspicious planet then they are productive of auspicious results being Sadharmi or of equivalent characteristics and this is quite understandable' If both the above planets are unrelated even then auspicious results with less intensity occur' In auspicious planet's Dasa, the Bhukti of a neutral planet gives neuiral results and the Bhukti of a Maraka planet gives iesults according to F€Irtluq i'e', if the Dasa lord is stronger of the two by otheiway, the results are somewhat auspicious and if the Maiaka is stronger by sign placement, exaltation etc. then Maraka results are somewhat prominent' All the conditions have been discussed in earlier slokas, then what was the need for this sloka? Perhaps the propounder of the text wants to use this sloka for Maraka planets who gain Yoga producing ability being related-to Yogakaraka' In the.Dasa of "such Marakas *i,o ate related to Yogakaraka, seldom 117 ## Page 116 118 Lag h u Parasari -J ataka Ch a nd ri ka Yogakaraka results occur in the Bhukti of Yogakaraka. This seens to be possible only when the Bhukti lord is extremely powerful by sign, house etc. that he is able to produce his results predominantly. The transit of benefics over the Maraka Dasa lord canalso induce such situations when theYogakaraka Bhukti lord finds occasion to do his work as the Dasa lord has been handcuffed of his evil by benefic transit. A prisoner finds his occasion to escape only when the guards are not alert or busy some other way. Such results are also possible when the Dasa lord and Bhukti lord are Atma-sambandhi as told earlier. ln Dasa-Bhukti results, Dasa lord is the presiding officer and Bhukti lords are his subordinates, who are seldom independent to bestow their own results. Results of Dasa-Bhukti of Rahu-Ketu ffivJqni?rEqs+{ *nt*qr 3iladv|TggliTr Er+f,i ffirBsrr Rahu-Ketu, if placed in Kendra or Trikona are not related to any planet then in their own Dasa and Bhukti or Antardasa of Yogakarakas give Yogakaraka results according to the Bhukti lords. Notes-Rahu-Ketu are shadowy planets and function totally according to the house they occupy, if not conjunct to any other planet. If Rahu-Ketu are solitarily present in a Trikona they will function as Tiikona lords and in a Kendra, the function will be of a Kendra lord. Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' says: {'gils-d For auspicious houses, the Lagna and other Trikona houses are meant here exclusively. But Kendra houses can also he taken for auspicious houses because without the participation of Kendra lords a Yoga does not arise. Rahu-Ketu, if be not related to a Yogakaraka,.cause auspiciousness, simply by occupation but in the Antardasa of a Yogakaraka bestow very auspicious results and in the Antardasa ## Page 117 Lag h u Parasari -J ataka C h and ri ka of an inauspicious planet will function as somewhat inauspicious results will occur. The Sloka says : 119 neutrals rather c{YRgf{: TrF 6qq}r5*r: F|-ir(ll According to Muni Parasara, if Rahu is in a Kendra in Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo, Capricorn or Gemini, it is Rajayoga- karaka. The words sTgq*ir d:qfd( inSloka means that Rahu-Ketu if be not related to any Yogakaraka are productive of auspicious results in their own Dasa and Bhukti of a Yogakaraka, when placed in auspicious houses. The word 3l-{IEf*I means no relation. If Rahu-Ketu are placed in a Kendra or Trikona and do not associate with a Kendra or Trikona lord would definetely mean that they areunrelated. Will they be considered related if conjunct a Kendra or Trikona lord in that Kendra or Trikona? In this context earlier said rule has to be followed : Tr{Tr-d.rdqrewr<rnAtrwgd i.e., they will function for the lord they are conjunct with. In other words, Rahu-Ketu conjunct with a Kendra or Trikona lord will function as if Kendra lord is in a Kendra or Trikona lord is in a Trikona. To produce Yoga results, the relation between Kendra and Trikona lords is required which is absent here. This situation is like, no relation between Kendra and Trikona lords and in this context they will be ineffective srerqq for Yoga results in their Dasa-Bhukti as Sri Vinayaka Sastri says- +{€ rF-i{rffifur qq-*f5ralsq*1 {ql ?rfl{ qra{r €Tdrfft eriq EqF-dw-ir+c wuiqr Though the results will not be like Rajayoga but still the results will be auspicious. Conclusively, we can state that Rahu-Ketu in Kendra-Trikona houses if do not form any relation with auspicious planets for giving auspicious results; they should not be related to TfiI{|-{gfr: ## Page 118 120 Lagh u Pa rasari -J ataka C h an d ri ka inauspicious planets also, only then they {ury1io1as said in the Sloka. i.e., auspicious results will occur in the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planets who are not Rajayogakarakas.

Thus a careful study is required for these two shadowY Planets.

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related auspicious planet is prbductive of mixed (auspicous and inauspicious, both) results. ## Page 119 Lag h u Pa ras ari -J ataka C h and ri ka In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related Yogakaraka planet is productive of mixed results' In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of unrelated Yogakaraka planet is productive of extremely inauspicious results. Notes-who are the inauspicious planets? The lords of the 8,h, L1,h, 6.h and 3'd houses are inauspicious planets in the reducing order. Then are lesser inauspicious planets, Jupiter, Venus, benefic associated Mercury and the strong Moon as Kendra lords again in the reducing order. Thus the 8'h house lord is the greatest inauspicious or evil planet while the Moon is the least inauspicious Planet. If the Dasa lord is an inauspicious planet then in his Dasa- (i) The Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is inauspicious or evil. (ii) The Bhukti of related auspicious planet is productive of mixed results because the Dasa lord and Bhukti lords are of contrary characteristics. In other words the relation will tone down the maleficence of the Dasa lord and the Bhukti lord will be able to bestow some of his results. other strengths of the two lords like exaltation, Varga strength are instrumental here in cleciding the results i.e., if the Dasa lord is stronger of the two planets then inauspicious results will dominate and if the Bhukti lord is stronger, he will show his results a little more, resultantly the mixed results. (iii) The Bhukti of unrelated Yogakaraka planet is productive of highly inauspicious results because Yogakaraka will not be able to influence and mould the Dasa lord' In this context Sri Vinayaka Sastri "Belala" says that the Dasa lord is like a sovereign king and the Bhukti lord is his subordinate courtier, who has to follow king's orders. If the king is cruel or evil, the subordinate courtier though of humble disposition, obeys the king's cruel orders for the fear of insult and humiliation due to disobedience. If the subordinate is extremely humble and noble (like a Yogakaraka planet) then he is so much duty 121 ## Page 120 rrii 122 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika conscious that without the least application of his mind he will follow king's orders in toto. This conditiin arises when the two planets are unrelated or there is corirmunication gap between the king and subordinate. If the communication is there i.e., the king gives an ear to the advice of subordinate or the subordinate is in a position to ammend the orders, then he will be able to implement it with some favour for the masses. This condition arises when the Dasa lord and the Bhukti lord are related. (i") The Bhukti of related Yogakaraka planet is productive of mixed results which are somewhat more auspicious and less inauspicious. (") The Bhukti of neutral planets (the 2'd and 12s house lords) is productive of somewhat inauspicious or evil results in consonance with the characteristics of the Dasa lord but less than as stated in (i), as the Bhukti lord either related or unrelated tries to maintain his neutral character' ("i) The Bhukti of an inauspicous planet is definitely productive of greatly inauspicious results rather more if the two are relited tiran when they are unrelated. The 5h, 8s or L2s position of the Dasa and Bhukti lords to each other aggravates the results in this case. In these two Slokas the results of various Bhuktis in the Dasa of inauspicious planet is being discussed. In view of the above discussion we can deduce in general terms- If the Dasa lord and the Bhukti lord are related and Dasa lord is auspicious then the auspicious results are promoted or demoted proportionately and characteristically to the Bhukti lord' If the Dasa lord is inauspicious and related to the Bhukti lord then inauspicious results increase or decrease according to the character of the Bhukti lord. Purely inauspicious planets are the 8h house lord (if not in the 8th),'Trishadaya lords and Marakas associated with inauspicious planets. ## Page 121

123 Lesser inauspicious planets are of two types (i) the stronger are the Kendra lords having their other sign identical with inauspicious houses and (ii) Trikona lords having their other sign identical with inauspicious houses. Auspicious planets are those that do not have their other sign identical with Trishadaya or 8ft houses. Here it should be clear that in the Dasa of purely inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is productive of inauspicious results. If the Dasa lord is blemished auspicious planet then in the Bhukti of related auspicious planet, the results are auspicious. These two Slokas are strictly for inauspicious planets ivho cannot be Karaka or Yoga producing unCer any circumstances. A table of such planets given hereunder will be of use for our readers.

This is because both are characteristically similar planets. This also resounds that Maraka Dasa lord in the Bhukti of a related inauspicious planet is a doubtful killer. There are two Marakas, one is a Kendra, 7th house lord while the other is the 2nd house lord. r No 7tr' lord can be a Trikona lord therefore he cannot be auspicious and without being related to a Trikona he cannot be Yoga producing.

This Sloka is different from these properties. ' Venus and Saturn are not only friends but for Saturn's , Lagnas, Capricorn and Aquarius, Venus becomes a Rajiyogakutulu while for Venus's Lagnas, Taurus and Libra' Saiuin becomes a Rajayogakaraka. ARajayogakaraka is a single planet owning Soth a Kencira and a Trikona. We know that the ## Page 125 , Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 127 r relation between a Kendra and Trikona lord is productive of , greatly auspicious results i.e., Rajayoga. A single planet owning these two houses is himself a Rajayogakaraka. 'Uttara Kalamrita' (6/29-30) a cl.ssic is more descriptive about this Sloka.

If one of them is strong and other weak then the results are good. i If both the planets are weak and are placed in 6th, 8th or 12th house to each other or are with the 6th, 8th or L2th house lords then they bestow all comforts, auspiciousness and luxuries. If one of them owns auspicious houses and the other inauspicious then also both produce good results. If both the planets own evil houses then also they are productive of good in each other's Dasa- Bhukti. The rule told in this Sloka of this text is true in principle and whatever is said in "Uttara Kalamrita" *uy seem to be vague. But what has been said in "Ijttara Kalamrita" has stood to the test of time and has proved efficacious in many of the charts in practical. This Sloka seems to be applicable only when Saturn and Venus are not related i.e., when Saturn and Venus are unrelated then they give their results in each other's Dasa-Bhukti. Example-The native of the following chart faced three deaths in his family during Saturn's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti. In Saturn's Dasa, Venus's Bhukti commenced on 28th January ## Page 126 128 Lagh u Pa rasari -Jataka C h a nd r i ka 7 Moon Ketu 1 Rahu ,5 Mars /10 ' MercurY x 4 Saturn Venus Rahu Sun Birth 28-2-1948 Saturn Mercury Mars fupiter Lagna Ketu Moon 1g85.

Indira Gandhi under Sloka 39, Venus's Bhukti under Saturn's Dasa started on 30th November \976 and, continued upto January 1980. During this period she lost the elections and had to face insult and humiliation. ' Our text says that in Venus Bhukti results of Saturn will occur if the two planets are not related. In Mrs. Gandhi's chart saturn is Jeaary u.ril b"it g the 7s and 8h house lord. Saturn is also placed in the iug.tu in in enemy sign. In Venus Bhukti, the results pertaing to Saturn occurred.

Notes-The Yoga or auspicious combination arises out of the relation of Kenira and Trikona lords. The two Slokas under discussion are about two very auspicious Yogas of first grade. The Lagna is first Kendra as well as Trikona. Therefore Lagna lord is f,imself a Rajayogakaraka. If this Lagna lordis related to the 10ft house (strong-est Kendra) lord, a very Pow"erful Rajayoga is caused. According to Sloka "5ggil.. q-g-Af ffgrfi qffi: " the relation between ttre Kendra and Trikona lords is a first grade auspicious combination or Yoga-and- a.moLg th::"^.jT" Yogas formed by the Lagna and 10h lord and the th and Lo'h lords are of superlitive degree. These two Yogas are called Rajayogas' If the Lagna and 9ft lords exchange houses then also it is an auspicious cJmbination but as Lagna ispredominantly a Tiikona, theiefore this yoga does not fall under Rajayogas. For Gemini or Sagittarius Lagnicharts if Mercury andJupiter occupy the Lagna- or"10,n house-ihen it is a Rajayoga. For Taurus Lagna chart, if saturn alone occupies the 9'h or L0th house then it is a Rajayoga. 129 ## Page 128 130 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika The Rajayoga chart's native will be at the peak of his career in theDasa and Bhukti of Rajayogakarakaplanets butif the Dasa Bhukti of such planets do not arrive in one's lifetime even then such a native is of higher strata of the society, enjoying prosperity. Sri Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala'holds that the relationship between the Kendra and Trikona lords has been talked of many times earlier in the text then what was the need to say the same thing again in the concluding Sloka of the text. According to Sri Betala Sastri the text actually suggests here four specific Rajayogat as under: The Lagna and 10ft lords be in the 10h house. tt tt tt tt tt tt ,t t, Lagna. The th and L0h lords be in the th house. tt tt tt tt ,, t, tt t, \0lh Sri Sastri f.rrther says that in this text no word is without a purpose and meaning and if something is said again thenit must be in some new pretext. Therefore Sri Sastri forwards his interpretation as above. Actually there is no much contradiction between the two interpretations as the Yoga causing planets are the same. House exchange is most powerful relation vide Sloka 14. Example-The chart hereunder is of a Dewan or Minister of a few princely states of pre-independence India.

Jupiter and the Sun bestow auspicious results. The relation of Saturn and Jupiter does not form auspicious combination or Yoga. In this combination Jupiter produces evil rather. Venus does not become Maraka by simply owning Maraka houses though he should be so. Saturn, Mercury and Venus become Marakas in the reducing order. Thus planets bestow auspicious and inauspicious results for Aries Lagna natives and this should be gathered from the learned. Notes - In Aries Lagna charts Saturn owns the 10th and 1Lth houses; Mercury, the 3rd and 6th and Venus, the 2nd and 7th houses. Mars own the Lagna and Saturn, Mercury and Venus are not his friencls. Therefore these are inauspicious for Aries Lagna. The Sun owns the 5th house (a Trikona) and Jupiter, the 9th and 12th houses. The Sun and Jupiter are friendly to Mars. The Sun forms Yoga (auspicious combination) if in relation with Satum, as the 5th and 10th lords in house exchange. But such Saturn should not be associated or aspected by inauspicious planets. Satum ## Page 132 134 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika should be alone or be aspected by auspicious planets' 12 10 1 Aries tl Lagna For Aries Lagna, the Sun being a Trikona lord is very auspicious. Jupiter, the 9th and L2th houses lord is auspieious as the 9th house lord. A weak Moon being a Kendra lord is less blemished according to Sloka 11. Therefore she is termed as auspicious. saturn, a malefic becomes neutral owning the 10th house but again becomes inauspicious for owning the 11th house. Thereiore he is inauspicious according to Sloka 6' Mercury is essentially inauspicious being a Trishadaya lord according to Sloka 6. venus is Maraka being the 2nd and 7th house lord and being la Kenclra lord is further blemished. Therefore he is inauspicious ancl death inflicting according to Slokas 7-I0.He is particularly so, if related with other inauspicious planets' ]upiter being the lord of 12th house is also the 9th (a Trikona) houselord. He does not produce Yoga in relation with saturn. That is why they cannot produce extreme Dharma- Karmadhipatya Yoga by mere conjunction for two reasons: saturn and Jupiter are neutral to each other. secondly Jupiter owns the 12th house. So the rule qtcr(qqf{fri{il qtqr' {n6q4-d: ## Page 133 Lag h u Parasa ri -Jataka C h and ri ka 135 operates and Jupiter's results have to be according to the characteristics of Saturn with whom he is combined. The net conclusion is that extremely auspicious results cannot be expected, as Saturn is finally inauspicious i.e., Llth house lord. trf Jupiter is in the 10th and Saturn is in the 9th house, mme good can be expected for house exchange between the 9th and 10th house lords. The reading in the Sloka 45, *fr : slfl-q E-{r srqK6sdT qlefi: i.e., Venus does not kill even though classified as Maraka is erroneous and contradictory to the rules laid down earlier. Perhaps it is clue to erasing and corruption of the text. Venus is a very strong Maraka if placed in the 7th or 2nd house and/or in relation to inauspicious house lords. One thing that is tobe kept in mind is thatin B.P.H.S Parasara clearly warns at the end of the chapter. erqqfr grdtq rq$+t tqF{iiq *r tFc+t' e we era{ vsmfr q dFratn The results are to be told after duly considering other Yogas like Nabhasa Yogas etc. present in the horoscope. These are to be understood from bigger works like Brihat fatak4 Saravali, fataka Parijata etc. The evil that arises from Saturn-Jupiter combination is due to Jupiter owning the L2th house and Saturn owning the L1th house. So the Rajayoga results almost get spoilt or may be very feeble or may not be even felt at all. Fruitful Yogas:- 1. Sun + Mars, 2. Sun + Moon, 3. Sun + Venus, here Venus is a Maraka and evil due to Kendradhipatya Dosha. But still the Yoga is functional as only Venus is spoilt while the Sun is purely auspicious. 4. Sun + Saturry only Saturn is spoilt. ## Page 134 136 5. Mars + Jupiter Lag h u Parasari-Jataka C h an d ri ka ,, 6. Jupiter + Moon, only if tl're Moon is weak, thus a malefic. A weak Moon becomes neutral being a malefic Kendra lord and does not let Jupiter as the 12th lord to turn inauspicious. If the Moon acquires strength, she will become a benefic ,and Kendradhipatya Dosha sticks to her, Jupitea the 12th lord will acquire this blemish due to his association with the Moon. Spoilt Yogas : - ' 1". Jupiter + Saturn, both sPoilt. 2. Jupiter + Venus, both spoilt, Jupiter due to conjurrction. In some texts, the first part of the Sloka 45, reads, tftil*q qt{q qTqsqtfu fifr-ffq, means Jupiter being tlependent on others, will definitely cause some evil results. This we have discussed under Jupiter Saturn combination above. Example-In the chart of Prakash Padukone former badminton ace and All England champion the Moon is aspecting the 9th lord Jupiter placed in her house. Moon+]uPiter Yoga is generated.

For Taurus Lagna Jupiter owns the 8th and 11th houses. Therefore, he is direly evil according to the rule (qrr+qqrflrdq r*H I {e{g<:t Therefore, according to Slokas 6 and 9 Jupiter is death inflicting. For Taurus Lagna, Venus owns the Lagna (a Kendra and Tiikona) but as it is 1st of the Trikonas, hence a weak Trikona. Venus also owns the 6th house, a Trishadaya house. The blemish 2 Taurus 72 11 10 Lagna ## Page 136 138 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika of 6th house lordship, a 2'd Trishadaya is more than the auspiciousness of the Lagna. Therefore, he is inauspicious. Thus we see that the blemish is more than the auspiciousness. Hence Venus is declared inauspicious or evil and a Maraka, if associated with other Marakas for Thurus Lagna. Saturn is the single owner of the 9th (a Trikona) and 10th (a Kenclra) houses and according to Sloka 7, he alone is Rajayogakaraka planet. If Saturn gets related with other auspicious planets then he creates a greatly auspicious combination. The Moon owns the 3rd house a Trishadaya house. Whether she is strong or weak, she is inauspicious in both the cases, particularly when related with other inauspicious or Maraka planets. Mercury owning the 2nd ( a Maraka) and 5th (a Trikona) houses is auspicious vide Sloka 6. Mercury is auspicious while Saturn is Rajayogakaraka. There is difference of opinion in regard to the Sun, who owns the 4th house. By owning a quadrant, the Sun a malefic leaves his maleficence and becomes neutral. Leaving maleficene does not mean that the Sun becomes auspicious. Mercury is auspicious being the 5th house lord. Some texts have adopted Ert vrvnqdr The spellingY|Sfrgd is not correct grammatically. For this reason, {d {rfl-Ed qd nas been accepted here. Some texts even have ,rs"6 vtfiTfEflErtt But then, the Yoga of the Sun and Saturn is not as powerful as that of Mercury and Saturn for the above reasons and also as the Sun and Saturn happen to observe enemity between thern. Mars owns the 7th house (a Maraka-sthana and Kendra) Mars being a malefic turns neutral owning the 7th house a Kendra. The blemish of quadrangular ownership does not occur to Mars. He is again neutral by owning the 12tl'r house. Therefore Mars is left with little Maraka property. Thus, for Taurus Lagna Mars is not considered endowed with specific Maraka characteristics. ## Page 137 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 139 For Taurus Lagna fupiter is direly evil, next is Venus and then the Moon. The classical Marakas are Mars and Mercury. If Jupiter, venus and the Moon are related with classical Marakas, it "n tt,"y are ahead in causing death than the classical Marakas. Fruitful Yogas:- 1. Venus + Saturn, only Venus is blemished' 2. Sun + Mercury. 3. Sun + Saturn 4. Saturn + Mars, only Mars is blemished' 5. Saturn alone is Rajayogakaraka and greatly auspicious. 6.

Therefore the Yoga is spoilt as both the planets are blemished' 2. Mars + Mercury, both Mercury and Mars acquires the Maraka blemistr,of each other. Therefore the Yoga is spoilt as both the Planets are sPoilt. Example - Here is the chart of famous singer Lata Mangeshkar. The sun + Mercury Y98a is cre-ated in the 5th hou#.

According to'our reading Venus is Yogakaraka being friendly to the Lagna lord Mercury.

Therefore according to the rules propounded earlier, Jupiter is finally inauspicious and Maraka according to Sloka 7 and 10. Venus is auspicious for Gemini Lagna as he owns the Sth house. He produces Rajayoga in conjunction with Mercury the Lagna lord. Also in some versions following lines are found' rtfu {mdrqS* Ernffi1 In relation to other lords Venus creates good or bad Yogas by associations for being the lord of the 5th and 12th houses.

Saturn is a blemished Tiikona lord for being also the 8th house lord. Saturn's relation with the Lagna lord Mercury produces Rajayoga. 141 ## Page 140 142 Lag h u Pa rasari -Jataka Chand ri ka The combination of Jupiter and Saturn produces the same results as for Aries Lagna.

We have another extra line in some editions- trafleril56 {fdr{ctc61 q sr+f€r Though, the Moon owns the 2nd house, she does not become a Maraka. The reason is perhaps the rule. r r$fldElsq1 Wfinqcmi rr*(t ttre Sun and the Moon do not have the powerful evil nature identical to the ownership of the 8th house. Similarly a lesser evil nature due to ownership of the 2nd house is not significant with the Moon and the Sun. This seems to be the line of agreement. But as has been told repeatedly, decisions regarding longevity span can only be taken after careful calculation of the same, based on Ayurdaya principles. Otherwise, one might go wrong. Very oftery the rules stated, do have many exceptions, which are not found mentioned. So, one should not boldly assert quoting lines from various classics indiscriminately. It is stated that Saturn is not capable of killing the native. This is because, he happens to be Bhagyadhipati, the 9th house lord. But in other versions, it is mentioned qrq' {IRt i.e., the Moon does not kill. Since rules may be having exceptions, one should be very cautious in applying them. One should consider the matter by different methods, like Gochara, Stellar position etc. and then decide. Fruitful Yogas :- 1. Venus + Mercury 2. Mercury + Saturry only Saturn spoilt. Spoilt Yogas :- 1. Jupiter + Venus, both spoilt. Venus by association with Jupiter as the 12th house lord. 2.

This way auspicious and inauspicious results shoulcl be understood for Cancer Lagna. For Cancer Lagna, Mars owns the 5th and the 10th houses and becomes Yogakaraka according to Slokas 6 and 7. According to Sloka 12, Mars becomes a Rajayogakaraka. Jupiter owning the 9th house is auspicious but is blemished for owning the 6th house. But finally he is somewhat auspicious as the 9th house is the strongest Tiikona. Venus becomes blemished by owning a Kendra according to Slokas 7 and 10. Venus agian becombs inauspicious by owning the 11th house according to Sloka 6. Mercury is inauspicious for owning the 3rd house. Again by owning the 12th house, he gives results for the 3rd house. Therefore he is finally inauspicious. Saturn is evil by owning the 8th house and a Maraka by owning the 7th house. Thus Saturn is Maraka and evil. The Sun by owning the 2nd house (a Maraka-sthana) becornes simply neutral. The blemish of Maraka does not occur to the Sun. Moreover he is friendly to the Lagna lord Moon. Fruitful Yogas :- 1. Moon + Mars, a greatly auspicious combination. 2. Moon + )upiter, only Jupiter is blemished. 3. Mars + Venus, only Venus is blemished. 4.

In this way, the results for Leo Lagna are to be guessed by the wise. In Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, the reading is drqg*rqfql: rTItfT: i.e., Mercury, Venus and Saturn are evil. Mercury is positively inauspicious due to ownership of the llthhouse, aTlishadaya house. Mercury alsoowns the2nd house J Leo Z\..",4 Lagna ## Page 146 148 Lagh u Parasari -J ataka C h an d r i ka a Marakahouse. Therefore Mercury isevil endowed withMaraka characteristics. As 2nd house lord Mercury gives results according to cM Tlr6-;|.d'fl: of the 6th Sloka i.e., Mercury is functional as the LLth house lord. Therefore Mercury will be productive of inauspicious results. Venus as the 10th lord turns neutral and again becomes inauspicious being a Trishadaya i.e.,3rd house lord. This has been explained under Slokas 10 and 7 earlier. Moreover Venus also observes enemity with the Lagna lord Sun. Mars is a natural malefic but for Leo Lagna, he being the 9th lord (a Trikona) is auspicious and Yoga producing vide Sloka 6. Mars also owns the 4th (a Kendra) house. Therefore he leaves his maleficence and becomes neutral. But having already acquired auspiciousness as 9th lord, he predominantly is a Yogakaraka Jupiter owns the Sth house. So according to the rule: qd ffi 116l: {s1qq11: Sdt:, /trpiter should be auspicious. But Jupiter owns the 8th house and this is why jupiter is not . mentioned auspicious in some versions. In B.P.H.S, we have a reading which is parhaps the best one to be adopted. dqUordqr: ertn: E$-qr6f: {lqr+at:t : So Mars, |upiter and the Sun are termed as auspicious. The Sun is lord of the Lagna, so he essentially is auspicious for Leo Lagna. Jupiter-Venus conjunction cannot produce much good results as both are blemished moreover they are natural enemies of each other. However there can be hope of some good results, if Jupiter is in the 10th house in lhurus and Venus occupies Sagittarius in the 5th house. Thus both the planets will then function more as the 5th and 1Oth house lords. , Jupiter-Mars relation forms an auspicious combination and bestows greatly auspicious results. Jupiter is the only planet blemished due to the 8th house lordship. To bestow greatest auspicious results out of the relationship, Jupiter and Mars either should have an exchange of houses through the 4th and 5th houses or through the 5th and 9th houses. ## Page 147 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 149 Similarly, Venus and Mars relationship can be of good, if it occurs such as Mars occupies the 10th house in Thurus and venus occupies Aries as the 9th house. saturn owns the 6th house, so he is inauspicious. saturn also owns the 7th house a Maraka house, so he is also a Maraka though spared of the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha for being a natural malefic. Moreovel, Saturn is also the enemy of the Lagna lord sun. Therefore saturn is inauspicious and Maraka for Leo Lagna. Fruitful Yogas:- 1. Sun + Mars, best combination. 2. Sun + Jupiter, only Jupiter blemished, therefore auspicious. 3. Mars + Venus, only Venus Tiishadaya lord, hence godd. 4. Mars alone is Yogakaraka because he himself owns a Kendra as well as Trikona. The requirement of the yoga i.e., relation between the Kendra and Trikona lord -is established. 5. Mars + Jupiter, only Jupiter is blemished as the gth lord. Spoilt Yogas :- 1. Mars + Saturn, Saturn doubly afflicted and enemy of Mars. 2. Jupiter + Venus, both blemished therefore yoga is spoilt. 3. fupiter + Saturry both blemished, therefore yoga is spoilt.

In other reading the third line occurs as ## Page 149 Lag h u Pa rasari -J ataka C h and r i ka q EFf, {ffi gt This would mean: The Sun does not kill i.e., even though the Sun owns the 12th house, he does not kill. Illustrious commentators have raised their doubts, about this reading. So we have accepted the reading r 6k tF-f{d $ which seems to be appealing for then the 2nd lord Venus also becomes phagyadhipati by owning the 9th house' I Mars owns the 3rd and 8th houses for Kanya Lagna. Both are evil and inauspicious houses. Even association of auspicious planets cannot alter his characteristics and Mars remains inauspicious as final order for Virgo Lagna. Jupiter owns the 4th and 7th houses and as benefic planet he acquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and Maraka characteristics being the 7th lord. Jupiter is a deadly Maraka, if he occupies the 7th house. However, Maraka property is tempered to a considerable extent, if Jupiter is placed in the 4th house and he functions for the good of 4th house being there is his own sign. Kendradhipatya Dosha is still there and if Jupiter forms any relation with other Marakas, he at the same time will also give Maraka results. I There is no mention about Saturn and the Sun perhaps they are not so intense to give good or bad results. The Sun may change according to the characteristics of the planet he is related to. The Sun being the 12th lord give results according to associations an{ placements. Saturn's auspiciousness as 5th house lord seems to be 151 6 Virgo 10 12 11 Lagna ## Page 150 152 Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika lessened and he is blemished for his subsequent 6th house lordship. Venus as 9th lord is auspicious according to Sloka 6. He also owns the 2nd house. If he is placed in the 2nd house with other inauspicious or Maraka planets, he is capable of killing the native. Venus alone will not kill this seems to be the intention behind the line q 6fu qfurdr Perhaps this is because Venus is the 9th (Bhagyasthana) house lord and a friend of the Lagna lord Mercury. He can kill the native only when other evil or inauspicious planets induce and misguidehimto usehis Maraka Powers. Mercury, the Lagna lord is undoubtedly a Rajayogakaraka planet as he owns Lagna, a Kendra as well as Tiikona at the same time. Therefore, according to qrrf*5g-ar*q rrlor ffi, Mercury produces Rajayoga in relatiorr to Venus. Venus in the 10th and Mercury in the 9th house, Venus in the Lagna and Mercury in the 9th house and Venus in the Lagna and Mercury in the 2nd are the various Yogas formed. They are powerful in reducing order i.e., best one is the first one. The Moon being the 11.th house lord is essentially inauspicious vide Sloka 6. Fruitful Yogas :- : 1. Mercury + Venus, best Yoga. 2. Mercury * Saturn, Saturn only blemished. 3. Mercury + Jupiter can be productive of some good results, if Mercury occupies 4th and Jupiter the Lagna. Spoilt Yogas :- 1. Jupiter + Venus, both get spoilt. Jupiter is Maraka as well as blemished by Kendradhipatya Dosha. Venus as 2nd house lord functions according to {T|6d or association. Thus acquires the blemish and evil of Jupiter. Venus in 4th and Jupiter in the 9th house can be of some good. 2. Jupiter + Saturn, both the planets get spoilt.

There are also few other versions with slight variations. The two above are most informative to our knowledge. 7 Libra 10 11 t2 Lagna It is strange that both the readings are silent about Venus. Either they think Venus is neutral or he gives results according to associations as the readings were silent about Saturn under Virgo Lagna. Venus owns the Lagna and the 8th house. Some versions declare r1!: vamer*+ ffit g+(rtd i.e., Venus is neutral. Many celebratecl astrologers have found Venus giving undesirable results. In Sloka 9, it is said that Venus does not give undesirable results. Pt. Rama Yatna Ojha and others declare that Venus is auspicious only, if he is placed in the Lagna or 8th house and is undesirable in other houses. Our experience also is like this. This is perhaps due to the fact that when in Lagna his auspiciousness as Trikona lord gets boosted, so is also when own sign in the 8th house giving thurst to both the signs. His ownership ## Page 153 Lagh u Parasa ri'J ataka Ch and ri ka 155 of Lagna as Trikona lord cannot eradicate the dire blemish of 8th housJ lord when in other houses.

In- this way Saturn becomes a Rajayogakaraka by owning the 4th and 5th houses. Mercury owns the 9th house (a Trikona). Therefore he is auspicious. Rr rztr, house lord, he gives results according to house, identicalwithhis other sign, whichis the9thhouse. Hence Mercury gives auspicious results. The Moon owns the 10th house and does not get blemished if weak vide Sloka 1L.

He is a Maraka planet. Kendradhipatya Dosha does not occur to him. Therefore, he is weak Maraka' That is why, Mars is not considerecl a killer. However, Mars gives inauspicious results.

The Sun as L0th (a Kendra) house lord abandons his maleficence and is productive of Rajayoga results in relation with the 9th lord Moon. The Moon may be in the L0th house and the Sun in the 9th house or both of them may be in the 9th or LOth house. Mercury owns the deadly evil 8th house and l.lth, a Trishadaya house, Therefore Mercury is totally evil. Saturn owns the 3rd and 4th houses. He is inauspicious as a Trishadaya lord. Lordship of the 4th house (a Kendra) does not alter his inauspiciousness. 10 8 Scorpio 11 12 Lagna The Moon is auspicious being the 9th (a Trikona) lord and ## Page 156 158 Lag h u Pa rasa r i -Jataka C hand ri ka Venus as the L2th house lord becomes neutral and gives results according to the house identical with his other sign Taurus which fall in the 7th house, a Maraka house.

Mercury becomes a Maraka and has the blemish of Kendradhipatya Dosha. The Sun owns the 9th (a Trikona) house and Mercury owns the 10th house.

The Sun owns the 9th (a Trikona) house. Therefore, he is surely auspicious. Mars owns the 12th house, he gives results according to the house identical with his other sign Aries.

He becomes neutral by owning the 4th ( a Kendra) house. Again, Mars additionally owns the L1th (a Trishadaya) house. Thus, Mars finally becomes inauspicious and gives evil results in his Dasa for Capricorn Lagna. Venus owns the 10th house (a Kendra) and therefore becomes neutral. Again he owns a Trikona i.e. The 5th house. By simultaneously owning a Kendra and Trikona he is termed Rajayogakaraka and gives all round success in his Dasa. He give greatly auspicious results or Rajayogaphala, if he is related to the 9th house lord Mercury. Mercury owns the 9th (a Tiikona) house. Therefore, he is auspicious vicle Sloka 6. But being also the 6th (Irishadaya) house lord, he is inauspicious vide Sloka 6. This blemish of Mercury vanishes away, if Mercury gets related with Venus, another Trikona lord. A great Yoga is created, if Mercury and Venus occupy the L0th and 9th house respectively. This is called Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga. Here, Mercury and Venus exclusively behave and function as 9th and L0th house lords. The Moon owning the 7th house is a Maraka. If the Moon is bright (strong) then as benefic, she additionally acquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and her Maraka characteristics get a boost. If the Moon is deficient in rays (weak) then she is simply a Maraka for his malefic nature. The Sun owns the 8th house. Therefore, he is essentially inauspicious. Fruitful Yogas :- 1.

Notes-Jupiter is inauspicious vide Sloka 6 because he owns the 2nd (Maraka) house and 11th (Trishadaya) house. If he acquires killing powers to a great extent then he would surely be the killer. Mars owns the 10th house and as natural malefic owning a Kendra leaves his maleficence and becomes neutral. Again by owning the 3rd (Tiishadaya) house, he becomes inauspicious. 12 10 11 Aqurius Lagna Venus owrls the 4th (Kendra) house, hence neutral. Venus also own the 9th (Trikona) house and becomes auspicious. Thus, Venus becomes single lord of a Kendra and a Trikona. Hence he is declared Rajayogakaraka. If Venus occupies the L0th house and Mars is posited in the 9th house, a great Rajayoga is produced for then the two planets function as the 9th and 10th house lords in house exchange.

Under certain configurations he may be induced to kill in his Dasa-Bhukti. For example, if Mars occupies the 2nd or 7th house in association with Mercury and Saturn. The 9th lord Mars, if gets configurated in house exchange with the L0th lord Jupiter, it forms a very powerful Rajayoga. Similarly, if the Moon occupies the 10th house and Jupiter in exaltation is situated in the 5th house then also it is a powerful Rajayoga. Saturn and Mercury are declared to be evil and inauspicious and hence are to be selected as Marakas. Saturn owns the L1th and 12th house, therefore he is inaus;ricious. According to the rule der-ctt-fl q qrqlil qyry fretc 6--cfd( f{6f,r grqt=dfr: etc., Saturn's death inflicting power is clear. As for Mercury, he rules the 4th and 7th, both Kendra houses. Because of the ownership of Kendra houses he acquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and being also the 7th lord, he becomes a powerful Maraka. The Moon only becomes the 5th (Tiikona) lord therefore he is undoubtedly auspicious. The Sun is inauspicious for he owns the 6th house, a Trishadaya house.

It must be clear that Parasara does not want the rules stated here to be used verbatin without considering the placement etc. In the judgement of Marakas etc one has to exercise utmost caution in every respect. ## Page 168 17O Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika Even the Navamsa positions, stellar positions etc. of the planets should not be ignored. q? flEvrqtqrqi v$TIv${tr?i fd{'t Tr{rREirqsrrrt qrqrri fttnq-d{|rzg tr \t{ vffiur {r€r +q frqqrq:t qffinqct tqr: gdfrqrqfrr: I P+ t t Thus the wise man shoulcl understand the good and bad results in respect of the twelve houses. The results in respect of the twelve houses from the Lagna onwards should be carefully combined together. In this way a wise man should understand the results of the planets in a horoscope in every possible way. The combination of the lords of Trikona and Kendra houses are capable of producing all types of auspicious results. Notes-The horoscope gives details about every aspect of one's life. For results of one's brother, consicler the 3rd house as Lagna. The 9th therefrom will be the Bhagyasthana for the brother. The 7th therefrom would denote his wife. The 10th therefrom, his profession. Similarly we can apply the rules of Yogakarakas etc. The same can be repcated with other houses of the horoscope and information can be gained about every aspect of life. eA agcrfl?n?-qmq &+'Jqrq Vq,VtlrFm"?rflq7q @ ; 1 15 1 1 : Here ends the fifth chapter in Auspicious and lnauspicious Planets i n Lag h u -Pa rasa ri-J ata ka C h and rika. ## Page 169 6 frerqTeqrq: Miscellaneous qrr& rrfr ffi qqd qrh fth q-a{t t *rn: m q.FrqFa r{EvrrcFr{Fl}lys The planets may be inauspicious, debilitated or exalt'ed but in absenie or noncommencement of their Dasas, how their results can occur?

The reason is, what can the benefic combinations produce, if their periods do not operate? Notes-The ponies of Kashmir carry heavy loads of saffron on their back. They experience only the weight of the bundles, of little use is the fragrance of saffron to them.

Elongation of each Naksatra is 13o-20' having four charanas (legs) or sectors of 3o- 20' each. Twenty seven Naksatras multipled by the elongation 13o -20' give 360' of the Naksatra Mandal (Zodiac) or Rasi Chakra. These Naksatras are counted fromAswini which falls in the sign Aries (Mesha) from 0o to 13o-20'. The next one Bharani occupies 13'-20' to 26o-40' in Aries. The last 3'-20' in Aries form the 1st leg of Krittika Naksatra. Thus, we see 1 + 1 + y4 = 21/4 Naksatra fall in a sign. As told in the text, total cycle of years in Vimsottari or Udu Dasa is of 120 years. This comprises of Sun's 6 years, Moon's 1-0 years, Mars's 7 years, Rahu's 1,8 years,Jupiter's 16 years, Saturn's L9 years, Mercury's \7 years, Ketu's 7 yearsand Venus's 20 years respectively in this order. If to a native current Dasa is of the Sun, the next Dasa will be that of the Moon and then of Mars etc. in the above order. How this order was arrived at is yet a mystery but we have brought some fact before our readers in this respect in the introcluctory chapter. This can be accepted as an axiont, which has stood to the test of time. Now how can we decide the planet whose Dasa is on at the time of birth of a native? Each Naksatra has its ruling planet, who rules for a certain period of time as told earlier. In counting of Dasas (Main periods) of planets, the starting Dasa is always of the ruler of Naksatra in which the Moon is at the time of birth and the succeeding Dasas are calculated in the order told above. Simple mathematical exercises will enable one to calculate the ## Page 172 174 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika Dasa at birth. We have tabulated the order of Naksatras, their elongations, tl"ieir lords and their years of Dasas as under- Naksatra Ending Longitude Lord

First cycle starts at 0o inAries and ends at the 30th degree of the sign Cancer. The 2nd cycle starts at 0o of Leo and encls at the 30th dgree of the sign Scorpio. And the 3rd arrd last cycle starts of 0o of Sagittarius and ends at the 30th degree of the sign Pisces. In the table above Aswini, Magha and Moola are lorded by Ketu, falling in Aries 0o to 13o-20, in Leo 0o to L3o-20' and in Sagittarius 0o to L3o-20'. Suppose at the birth of a native, the Moon is at3"-27'in the sign Aries in Aswini Naksatra. In other words we can say that the Moon has traversed 3"-27' in the sign Aries in Aswini Naksatra and is yet to traverse (13'-20'-3'-27') i.e., 9o-53' in Aswini Naksatra. By simple mathematics of proportions, we can calculate how much balance years etc. of Ketu's Dasa are left to be experienced by the native at birth. 13"-20'of the Moon's movement in Aswini = 7 year's of Ketu's Dasa 1 0 ' / ,t tt 13"-20' 7 x (9"-53') - L ' - - 13'-20 7 x 5 9 3 = - rears 800 Converting this into years, months and days, we get,5 years, 3 months and 9 days. This means Ketu will rule the native or Ketu's Dasa will be on to the native till he is 5 years, 3 months and 9 days old. After Ketu, Venus will rule the native for20 years. Venus's Dasa will be on to the native in accordance with the order of Vimsottari Dasa sequence. The following table shows the balance of Dasa left in accordance with the longitude of the Moon at birth.

During this period the native will be positioned in life according to the results of Rahu's Dasa. Certainly there will be changes in economic, social and religious life pattern and physical well being of the native accompanied by changes in mental patterns also. These changes are brought about in consonance with the behaviour patterns among the Dasa and various Bhukti lords. Out of the nine Bhuktis, the very first Bhukti is of the lord of Dasa. In Rahu Dasa, the first Bhukti will be of Rahu, next will be of Jupiter and so on in the sequential order upto Mars Bhukti. The Bhukti is further subdivided into Pratyantaras which are also nine.

Thus, we see that Dasa system is a big wheel of Dasa lmajor period), and there are 9 small wheels of Bhuktis-(minor^or sub feriods) in it and each wheel of Bhukti contains further 9 small wheels of Pratyantaras (sub-sub periods). In this way w€ can move on to still smaller fractions like Sookshma and Prana Dasas' Formula for Bhukti is- Years of Dasa lord x Dasa vears of Bhukti lord. r20 Suppose we want to calculate Rahu's Bhukti in Rahu's Dasa.

I The last Bhukti in Mars Dasa is of the Moon of 7 months iduration. It means that29 days of the Sun's Bhukti was also there to be experienced. Therefore the native was born under Mars Dasa and Sun Bhukti. i The same rule of proportion can be used to calculate the lPratyantara or sub-sub period. Like Bhukti or Antardasa the first Pratyantara is of the Bhukti lord. i For example, we want to calculate Pratyantara of Mars in 7 imonths Bhukti of the Moon in Mars Dasa. The Pratvantara of Mars is- 7 7 w 7 6-of 7 months = ffi months = 12 days and 6 hrs. This is because Mars gets, 7 years in 120 years. In the same way in Mars Dasa, the Moon Bhukti and Rahu 1 8 1 A v 7 Pratyantara is ffiof 7 months i.e., ffi months. Likwise we can calculate other Pratyantaras in the Moon's Bhukti. .

, An other method to calculate Pratyantara is to convert the Bhukti into days and multiply these days by the years allotted to Pratyantara lord in Dasas. Take half of the result. It will be ghatis of Pratyantara. For example, we want to calculate Pratyantara of Rahu in Mars Dasa and Mars Bhukti. Mars Bhukti = 7 x 7 = 4.9 months ='L47 days.
