This second edition herewith presented, is more or less reprint of the first edition. We have only added one more chapter, as XVIII one, It includes in a nut-shell. all our researches of the last forty years, published in various magazines by way of articles and explained in many workshops conducted by us on the subject. It is hoped, the students taking interest in the study of “Ashtakavarga” will welcome them We are heartily appreciative of interest shown and speed with which Shri Narinder Sagar. in bringing out. this second edition attractively before the learned readers We wish 10 express our grateful thanks to (1) Shri Naresh M. Scthia of Baroda, who contacted the “Publishers” and arranged the publication and (2) Shri Hariprasad S. Bhatt of Mulund, (Bombay). for his unsolicited , help in correcting the proofs and for other anciliary jobs. Date : 4th June 1996 C.S. Patel (4.5. Aivar --- ## Page 3 FOREWORD "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven :" - So says Solomon the ancient sage, and the truth of these words of wisdom cannot be better compre- hended than through the science of astrology, for the aim of the science is to guide humanity by pointing out periods of prosperity and adversity in individual as well as national life by defining the various stages in the evolution of man. By the beacon light of the stars the science helps us in locating the time and place of any event and depicting also the nature of the event. Thus it plays an important part in the life of the human race, and naturally from times immemorial wise men of every country have been trying to -discover various methods for calculating the time factor underly- ing every "season" of human life and for foretelling the quality of the harvest of the season. It is well-nigh impossible to say exactly when and where astrology had its origin. But we may safely assume that the birth of the scicnce was almost synchronous with the birth of the human race. for otherwise we cannot explain why we come across traces of ancient people lisping in the language of the stars in almost every nation that has some claim to high antiquity. As for India. it may be a moot point whether she rocked the cradle of astrology. but 70 onc can deny the fact that she has contributed a very large amount of knowledge to promote the growth of the science. This great heritage of the past , or atleast a part of it, 15 being slowly re-discovered through the efforts of research scholars. and 1 am glad to say that onc such welcome attempt to recover an ancient treasure from the hands of all-devouring Time has been successfully made by my friends Shri C.S. Patel and Shri C.A.S. Aivar in compiling and publishing this treatise on the Ashtakavarge system The authors of the treatise have given us a full and lucid explanation of the principles and thc modus operandi of the Ashtakavarga in the: light of the knowledge garnered from every possible source, with the result that what they are presenting us today 15 not mercly the re-hash of some moth-eaten Sanskrit tome --- ## Page 4 iv but a critical compendium’ of all available information on the subject. I am sure that no discerning student will fail to appreciate the labour and critical acumen that the authors have brought to bear on this work. Natal astrology consists of two distinct sections. The first section enables us to form a general idea of the sum-total of planetary influences scattered through the different houses of the horoscope, what the stars have in store for the native by way of success and failure,pleasure and pain,fame and notoriety. The second section mainly deals with the time factor governing the planetary and steller influences concealed in the birthchart, the Paka-kala (moment of maturity),as it 15 technically known, of the promise of the birthchart. ThePaka-kala is generally deduced from the periods and sub-periods (Dasas and Antardasas) of planets. There is an overwhelcoming number of Dasa systems propounded in ancient works, but most of them have been . consigned to oblivion. Of the three or four systems that still hold the field, theVimshottari system is the most popular. Next comes the transit svtem which is equally popular, or even more so, among both Indian and European astrologers as a simple key to the timing of events. It is very often used quite independently , but . sometimes it is also applied in combination with the ruling Dasa or current directions. The more philosophic among Indian astrolo- gers make a subtle distinction between the function of the Dasa system and that of the transit system. The current Dasa and Antara, they say, show what we have to reap from the seeds of "our past Karma while the transits denote the’ Karma we are sowing for our next life. Be that as it may,there is not doubt whatsoever that transits are the most facile and indispensable ‘part of the astrologer's armoury in India as well as abroad. Unfortunately the method of cousidering transits that is in vogue today is extremely puerile and shallow, to say the least!All that our astrolger wants to know is the sign occupied by the Moon at birth. He does not care to inquire what Navamsa or Decanate, much less the exact degree, is occupied by the Moon. Nor does he care to consider what house is tenanted by the Moon or by the --- ## Page 5 \4 ` transiting planet, for he is blissfully ignorant of the importance of the house positions of planets! But the acme of absurdity is perhaps reached when on the entry of any planet into a new sign he presages a change of fortune, for better or worse, for every Tom, Dick and Harry! These Moon-sign or moonshine forecasts, if given in writing, usually end up with the stock phrase "Shubham bhavatu", God bless you, -or in other words, God save the client! If the reader is inclined to think that [ am drawing an unnecessarily gloomy picture of the present plight of Indian astrology, let him browse through the pages of some of our popular astrological magazines and he will be convinced of the truth of my remarks. But, then, the trouble is that if the reader is familiar only with the horoscopy of the benighted westerners, he is bound to get bewildered within the mystic maze that passes for the horoscope in our magazines! He will be Icft wondering whether the figure 15 to be read from left to right or right to left or upside-down! It appears that some of our ancient astrologers were quite aware of the superficiality and absurdity of depending solely on the Moon-sign in judging the effects of transits. Thus. for instance, Gunakara who flourished some time about 1496 A.D. writes in his Haramakaranda- यद्रोचरे जन्मगृहाद्‌ ग्रहाणां पृथक्‌ फलं द्वादशराशिषक्तम्‌। - नृणां तदेकर्षमुवां फलस्य भेदादनैकान्तिकमुक्तमाद्यैः | 19 | | यत्र स्थितः शीतकरो नराणां स्याज्जन्मराशिं तमुदाहरन्ति | यथा तथां AY खगाः सलग्नाः स्थिता न ते सप्तकतो भवन्ति 11२! । अतोऽष्टराशिर्मनुजोऽत्र सर्वः प्रोक्तोऽत्र तेभ्यश्च शुभाशुभानि | . फलानि तेषां च वियोगयोगा यदाष्टवर्गोत्थफलं स्फुटं स्यात्‌ ।।३।। The effects of transiting plancts that have been delineated by the ancient Achanvas on the basis of 116 Moon-sign would 00 _ experienced in different ways even by persons bom under the same Moon-sign or the same Nakshatra. and this difference arises owing to the difference in the Lagna (rising sign) and the distance of planets from thc Lagna.(1) The sign occupied by thc Moon at birth is known as the Janma-rasi(birth sign). But every sign that is occupied by some --- ## Page 6 vi planet or other is capable of producing certain effects, and the Lagna 15 also equally potent in this respect.(2) = Thus the native responds to the influence of eight signs- seven pertaining to the planets and one to the Lagna. Every planetary influence, therefore, must be judged not only indepen- “dently, but also through the interaction of planets. This system of calculating and judging precisely the influence of planets is called the Ashtakavarge system.(3) These remarks of Gunakara ought to serve as an eye- opener to all astrologers of the present day who are sacrificing accuracy to simplicity and making a travesty of the real teaching of the ancients. Let them ask themselves whether the ancient teachers were just indulging in some childish fancy when they - devised elaborate schemes of judging planetary strength or split every degree of the zodiac into its fractional parts, and let them contrast the ways of the ancients with the perfunctory manner in which they themselves deal with horoscopes. The Ashtakavérge system apears to have originated in the very remote past.Acharya Varahamihira (circa 500 A.D.) men- tions it rathér casually, as if it had already become an integral part of the standard teaching. on astrology in his day, not requiring a very detailed exposition. It is quite likely, therefore, that the system originated some centuries before Varaha, perhaps a couple of centuries even before Christ. The sytem is, no doubt, rather intricate and laborious, and those shallow practitioners who feel that predictions ought to come trippingly to the tongue as soon as one knows theMoon-sign or the Moon's Nakshatra have not been able to appreciate its importance. Consequently it has fallen into disuse in recent vears, though at times some practitioners do add a series of bald Ashtakavarga tables, without a word of interpretation, in order to produce an awe-inspiring scroll and fleece the gullible client! Let us hope that the authors of the present volume would succeed in reviving and popularizing this half-forgotten system of the an- cients and eam the credit for setting at least one part of the house of astrology in order. --- ## Page 7 vii The careful student will find that the Ashtakavarga system, as expounded in this volume, provides certain keys for judging the strength of houses and planets and for evaluating the potency of transits on the basis of eightfold division of the bhavas (houses) of the horoscope. The authors have indeed done a great service to the cause of astrology bv bringing together all available information on the subject in this omnibus volume. The example “of ceaseless and painstaking research that they have thus set before the younger generation of scholars is certainly worth emulating. In conclusion, I sincerely wish that this valuable work should be accorded a warm welcome by all camest students, Indian as well as foreign, and I pray that the Divine Power that inspired the authors to undertake. this project may grant them further opportunities to explore other promising fields of astrological research.

The Ashtakavarga is recognized as an outstanding system of prediction among the scveral systems advocated in the standard works on astorlogy. It has been commended as the best and the most indispensable key, so that all predictions have to be made only after a consideration of the Ashtakavarga. But the treatment of the svstem- its methods of application and interpretation- found in the exisitng works is not exhaustive and thorough enough for students to understand, which is a serious deficiency in the outfit of the modern. astrologer. The present work consisting of about 950 verses and treating exclusively of the Ashtakavarga and its practical application is an attempt to fulfil this long-felt desideratum, The work contains in one volume materials collected mainly from available standard works on astrology, the last two chapters being based on manuscripts hitherto unpublished. The plan of treatment is, we hope, quite suitable from the student's point of view: The original Sanskrit verses come first; then follows their translation in English with copious explanatory notes and comments, and example horoscope has been worked out in detail so as to give a clear idea of the application of the system. The idea of computing Ashtakavarga on the basis of Bhavakundali, in preference to the usual Janmakundali, first suggested by Shri Uttamram Mayaram Thakar in his Gujarati work Jvotish Vijnan Ane Laghu Parasari, has ben adopted for reasons given in thePrologue and the text. The book is also furnished with appendices containing the mimimum details necessary for the Ashtakavarga calculations (except, however, the calculation of the Shadvarga strength which is bevond the scope of this book). A noteworthy addition is the Sarvachanchachakra (p.64) which will prove useful in connection with Chaps. XV] and XVII, and theAshtakavarga Ayurdaya cal- culations in Chap.XV. We wish to express our grateful thanks to Shri Yeshwant K. Pradhan. Jvotishacharva, for the encouragement and co-operation that he has given us while this work was in progress, as also for writing the Foreword: to Shri Amritlal L Shah. --- ## Page 9 ix Hon.Secretary, Bombay Astrological society, for his unstinted help; to Prof. N.A.

C.S. PATEL, : C.AS. AIYAR Bombay, February,5, 1957 --- ## Page 10 PROLOGUE Ever since the dawn of creation man has been prayerfully invoking the stars in their courses to lift the veil of the inscrutable Future. The Egyptians, Chaldeans, Chinese, Greeks, Hindus had all been endeavouring,with more or less success, to predict the destiny of men and nations by the position of planets and fixed , stars, and in doing so they had also been noting the motions of the planets and building up the edifice of astronomy brick by brick. Prediction of events by means of astrology may be classified under the folowing six divisions :- * 1. Mundane - Dealing with celestial phenomena like eclipses, planetary conjunctions, new-moons, etc. their time of occurrence, and their effects on nations, countries, etc. 2. Annual Forecast - Used for foretelling the weather, agricultural outlook and other matters from the nature of the planets presiding over each of them in the annual horoscope cast for the new (Equinoctial) Year 3. Genethliacal or Natal Astrology - Very interesting and complicated. It foretells the character, destiny and other matters about a person from the rising sign (Ascendant) and the planetary configurations, aspects, etc., at the time of birth. 4. Transit system (Gochara) - This describes the effects produced on individuals by the transit of planets and the aspects formed with reference to their radical positions. This can deal with a short period only 5. Horary system - Deals with the horoscope prepared at the time some question is put to the astrologer and predictions based on that. These are for the immediate future. 6. Electional system - Deals with the selection of right time for any business or function. The conditions and positions of the celestial bodies at a selected moment have a significant influence on a person's activity. the basic principle of this system is that according to the good or bad influence due to their positions in the heavens and with reference to the Ascendant at the time of commencing any undertaking, the celestial bodies cause success or failure, joy or sorrow, profit or loss, etc. The first five systems tell us what is in store for us in the --- ## Page 11 xi light of the Ascendant and planetary positions at a given moment. But the Electional system tells us what the planetary positions and aspects should be to start a good function in order to ensure - success, on the assumption that we have the freedom to choose the most auspicious time.* NATAL ASTROLOGY For accurate and correct predictions the horoscope that we cast has to be correct. There are various methods of rectification of the horoscope. The positions of the planets in the heavens and their insertion in the proper houses (Bhavas) come next to that. _ 1 the Indian system of calculating the planetary positions, the system originally in use was known as the Parahita (tradition- al) system. Later on it was modified from the observed discrep- ancies and brought into linc with theDrig (observation) svstem. But ‘subsequent to the discovery of the telescope and the use of advanced methods of mathematical calculation, it was found that the Drig system also was not very accurate. Now-a-days many almanacs and ephemerides are compiled on the basis of the elements of the Nautical Almanac, such as Raphael's Ephemeris and modern Indian Panchangas which claim to give correct positions of planets. There are two systems of locating the planets, namely, the Savana (tropical) and the Nirayana (sidereal) system. In the Sayana (cum precession) system the 1st point of Aries from which all planetary positions are given is located at the Vernal Equinox, the point at which the Sun crosses the Equator in his northerly course. On account of the precession of the Equinox this event happens once in every year of 365.2422 days which is less than the sidereal vear of 365.2564 davs.The difference in the two types of the vear is duc to the fact that the Equinox recedes in a vesterly direction by 50" of arc annually. This results in an increase in the longitudes of the fixed stars In the Indian system the 1st point of Aries is reckoned from the fixed star Revati which one school of astronomers identifies with Zeta Piscium, and all positions are measured from this. Thus there are two methods of reckoning the longitudes of planets. The Savana or the tropical system based on the moving zodiac and the Nirayana or the sidereal system based on the fixed zodiac. At some date in the beginning of the Christian Era the *....* Adapted from the Kalaprakasika by N. P. Subramanya Iyer. --- ## Page 12 Xii initial points of the two zodiacs were identical. The cxact vear when this happened cannot be definitely ascertained as the deter- minant star Revati has disappeared. Various dates have been assigned to this coincidence of the two zodiacs by different astronomers with the result that there is no agreement in regard to the amount of Precession (Avanamsa). The rate of annual precession also is taken as 50",52" or 60". The precession adopted by some leading astronomers and Panchangas in India is based on the assumption that the longitude of the star Chitra (Alpha Virginis or Spica) is 18007 the fixed zodiac ; hence the value of precession for 1956 January Ist is 23° 13'38" and the annual precession 50".26. It is evident that the position of a planet is the same in the two systems, the only difference being that in the movable zodiac it is with reference to the Equinoctial point, and in the fixed zodiac with reference to some fixed star.By deducting the Ayvanamsa from the Sayana positions the Niravana positions are obtained and vice versa. But, for precision even in the Indian system the calculation of the Ascendant and the 10th house is first carried out by the Sayana reckoning and the Avanamsa is deducted from the result afterwards. The Savana mode of reckoning has also to be used to find the declinations of the planets and the duration of the day and night. :

The Ascendant and the M.C. (10th house cusp) and other house cusps are calculated by one of the usnal methods. In the Indian system the duration of the day has to be taken into account to calculate the 10th house cusp. The cusps of the remaining honses are then determined by one of the following methods:- (a) Method of Placidus or the Semi - arc System : "The principle of this system is the trisection oif the semi-arc of each degree of the ecliptic. By successively adding1/3 S.A. (diurnal) of any degree to the Sidereal Time of its ascension, said degree is found upon cusp of the 12th, 11th and 10th house, respectively; similarly, by adding 1/3 S.A. (nocturnal) to the Sidereal Timc of its descension, said degree is found upon cusp of the 6th, 5th and 4th house". (0) Method of Companus : "The principle of this system 15 the trisection of a quadrant of the Prime Vertical, (which is a --- ## Page 13 Xm great circle passing through the zenith point, and at right angles to the meridian), by great circles mutually intersecting at the north and south points of the horizon ; the cusps of the houses being the degrees of the Ecliptic cut by these circles”. (c) Rational Method ascribed to Regiomontanus' : "The principle of this system is the trisection of a quadrant of the Equator, comprised between the horizon and meridian, by great circles mutually intersecting at the north and south points of the horizon ; the cusps of the houses being the degrees of the Ecliptic cut by these circles". (d) Method of Porphyry : "The principle of this system is the trisection of the arc of the Ecliptic intercepted between the horizon and meridian, The arc of the zodiac betwen the Ascendant and the 10th house is divided into three equal parts, giving thus the cusps of XI and XII houses. Similarly trisection of the arc between the Ascendant and the 4th house gives the cusps of II and III houses™. , This method of House division is generally followed in the Indian system. Half the sum of any two adjacent cusps is taken as the border line (Sandhi) of the two houses (bhavas). Thus each house has a definite range and the planets are posited in properly delimited bhavas, unless, of course, some of them choose to sit on the fence! The planet's influence on the bhava occupied is . maximum when it is at the cusp or near it, and it is least when the planet is on the border line (Sandhi).

Western system : In this system the character and destiny of the native are delineated from the Ascendant and the position of planets in the angles (Kendras) and other houses and the mutual aspects of the planets, as also their aspects to the Ascendant and the 10th cusp. The timing of events is effected by means of directions in the Progressed horoscope. (1) The Progressed Horoscope : (a) PrimaryDirections : the rotation of the earth on its axis from west to east brings a new degree of the ecliptic to the Mid-heaven every 4 minutes. The passing of each degree across the M.C. is supposed to represent 1. See Casting the Horoscope by Alan Leo, pp. 110, 111. --- ## Page 14 xiv one year in man's life. Thus the directions of a man who lives for 90 years are completed within 6 houses after birth. The orbital movement of the planets during this time is negligible. The planets move from house to house and form certain directions to their radical positions and to other planets. These directional changes can be calculated by considering the planets fixed, and advancing the M.C. 1° every year and taking the Ascendant _ according to the latitude of the place. Observe the new aspects which these form with the radical planets as also the changing mutual aspects of planets. These Primary Directions are said to indicate the events in a man's life which are beyond his control, the inescapable destiny that smiles or frowns on him. (b) Secondary Directions .: Apart from the directional _ changes effected by the earth's rotation the planets themselves change as they revolve in their own orbits. Taking a day to represent one year of life, the span of 90 years is completed by the movement of the planets in about 3 months. The horoscope cast for the same time as that of birth, on the day which represents the year, is the basis of judgement in the secondary system. The aspects formed by the progressed planets to the radical ones and the aspects to radical angles are judged, taking one planet after another. The solar directions thus formed are the most important. Then come the M.C.the Ascendant and the directions of other planets to those in the radical and progressed horoscopes. The Lunar directions are taken next. Since the Moon traverses about 13° in a day many directions are formed in the course of the year. Therefore, by taking 1/12 of the actual diurnal motion of the Moon the exact month in which a certain aspect is formed can be determined Another simple method of Directing is the Radix system in which the average daily motion of the Sun(59' 8") is taken as the increment for every year, for the Sun, Moon and every planet andM.C. The Ascendant corresponding to the directional M.C. is determined from the Table of Houses for the latitude of the birthplace. The aspects formed by the progressed planets with the radical ones are then studied in order to judge the trend of the coming year --- ## Page 15 Xv Indian system : All matters relating to a person's life, its duration, environment, etc., are judged from the positions of the planets, Yogas and Dasas. The different kinds of Yogas (combi- nation or set-up of planetary positions) with reference to the Ascendant or otherwise are linked up with the events in the life of the native by considering the following factors :- 1. The peculiar sign position of a planet in the heavens that adds to its strength, such as exaltation, occupancy of its own house, Vargottama, etc. This is independent of bhavas or the nature of the planet 2. The bhavas (house) positions such as position in Kendras (angles). Konas (trinal houses), etc. This is independent of the exaltations of planets. 3. Nature of the planet that forms the Yoga. This is independent of its sign position and bhava position. 4. Dignity or lack of it imparted to houses by the planets occupying them,e.g., Ascendant and the 8th house occupied by benefics or their own lords or by planets in exaltation, etc. 5. Bhava and Planets.e.g.. Adhi1 Yoga formed when there are planets in-the 6th, 7th and 8th bhavas from the Ascendant or Moon,and the nature of the plancts forming this Yoga. 6. Combination of bhava, sign position and the planets. In this the sign position Exaltation, etc.. bhava position (Kendra, Kona, etc.) and the intrinsic nature of the planet that forms it have to be considered for Yogas likc Ruchaka (bv Mars), Bbadra (Mercury), etc The span of life due to certain Yogas 15 a definite number of vears. In addition to these, the Dasa system also 15 considered for predicting the events in one's life. According to Parasara there are 32 different methods for ascertaining the duration of life and prediction of events, which can be classified as follows: 1. Naisargikavurdayva, 2. Pindayurdaya, 3. Rasmijayurdaya, 4. Amsakavurdaya, 5. Chakravurdaya, 6. Nakshatrayurdaya, 7 Ashtakavargayvurdava. --- ## Page 16 Xvi In the first three systems a certain number of years is allotted to each planet holding an exaltation position and half the values to those that are debilitated. Proportional values are derived when the planets are in intermediate positions. The years obtained are subject to 4 kinds of reductions, viz., Chakrardha- hani (due to the hemisphere occupied by the planet), Satrukshetra- hani (due to position in an inimical housc), Astamgata-hani (due to the planct's proximity to the Sun) and Krurodaya-hani (due to the presence of a malefic in the Lagna). The Ayus derived from the Ascendant is added to this. In the Amsakavurdava the number of vears contributed by each planet and the Lagna is equal to the number of Navamsas elapsed from Mesha, expunging cycles of 12 signs whenever the Navamsa number exceeds 12. These are further modified, in respect of planets in ¢xaltation, own house, etc. The Chakrayurdava based on the Kalachakra Dasa system is found by two methods : (1) The Ayus (length of life) is the sum of the periods contributed by the planets in proportion to the untraversed portions in the Nakshtra quarter (i.c., Navamsa) occupied by them. (2) The 27 Nakshatras are classified into Savya (clockwise) and Apasavya (anti-clockwise) cycles. Each quarter (pada) of the Nakshatra is allotted a fixed number of vears. The Moon's Navamsa determines thc particular Dasa vears. The cycle starts from the Navamsa rasi. Each rasi's contribution is equal to the years allotted to the planet ruling the rasi. The proportional part is calculated for the untraversed portion in the Navamsa occupied by the Moon and the periods of rasis carried on from that point. In the Ashtottari system the maximum life period is sup- posed to the 108 vears. The 28 Nakshatras (including Abhijit) are divided into 8 groups and allotted to the 8 planets inclusive of Rahu. The proportional part remaining in a planet's Dasa is calculated from the untraversed portion of the Nakshatra occu- pied bythe Moon in that group. The remaining Dasas follow in a fixed order In the Vimshottari system the maximum life is taken to be --- ## Page 17 Xvii 120 years. The 27 Nakshatras are divided into nine groups. The three Nakshatras of every group are in trine to one another. Each group is ruled by a planet which is allotted a fixed period. Rahu and Ketu are taken as planets mn this Dasa system. The. propor- tional part corresponding to the untraversed portion in -the Nakshatra occupied by the Moon is the balance of the Dasa period of the planet ruling the Nakshatra. The remaining Dasas follow in a fixed order. । In the Yogini Dasa system the span for one cycle is 36 years contributed by the 8 Yoginis, the 1st one giving I year, the 2nd; 2 years, and so on, The number of the Janmanakshatra of the native counted from Aswini plus 3 is divided by 8. The remainder shows the ordinal number of the initial Dasa. The fractional portion is calculated as in other Dasas. The Ashtakavarga System of Dasas : In this method the ` Shodhapindas (vide Chap. पा and pages 45-47) of the planets are multiplied by 7 and the product divided by 27. The quotient is Nakshatra years. These are subject to Mandala corrections and reduction due to (a) planetary conjunctions and (0) due to the positions in the visible half of the birthchart. This has been fully worked out (Vide Chap. XV). In this system the periods contrib- uted by the plantes are variable according to the Shodhyapinda. The Antaras, their order and their periods also differ in every . horoscope. The Jaimini system differs in many respects from those given in standard works. It involves the idea of different kinds of Langa. The planet which has advanced to the farthest point in the rasi occupied by him becomes the Atmakaraka (significator of the soul) and is the most important planet in the horoscope, and the rasi holding him is regarded as the strongest. Jaimini lays special emphasis on the strength of the rasi, which is derived by the position of one or more planets in it. The strength of a planet depends on the Amsabala (i.e., degrees in the rasi) and Moolatrikona bala (i.e., position in exaltation, Moolatrikona, etc.). The aspects in this system are determined as follows :- --- ## Page 18 xviii (a) ‘A Chara (cardinal) rasi aspects all the Sthira (fixed) rasis and the planets in them except the one adjacent to it. (b) A Sthira rasi aspects all the Charas (and the planets in thém) except the one adjacent to it. (©) An Ubhaya (mutable) rasi aspects all the other Ubhaya rasis (and the planets in them). These aspect influences, good or bad, are affected by the presence of planets in certain places from the aspecting lord: or rasi. These affecting agencies are known as Argalas. The Dasas in the Jaimini system invariably refer to rasis. Various kinds of Dasas are given. The choice of a particular Dasa depends on circumstances. But the Chara Dasa and Trikona Dasa can be applied to all. Important events could be timed by Navamsa Dasa, and/or Chara Dasa. Rasis are divided into two groups for finding the order of the succession of Dasa and counting Dasa years, They are : (a) Vishamapada (two odd quadrants consisting of (a) Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna and (2) Tula, Vrischika and Dhanus) the order of Dasa for these being Savya (clockwise) ; and (b) Samapada (two even quadrants consisting of (1) Kataka, Simha and Kanya and (2) Makara, Kumbha and Meena) the order of Dasa for these being Apasavya (anticlockwise). When the 9th house from the Lagna falls in a Savya group the order of Dasa succession is direct, the first Dasa starting from the Lagna rasi the 2nd Dasa starting from the rasi next to the Lagna and so on, and in an Apasavya group the order is anti-clockwise, i.e., Lagna, 12th house, etc. The Dasa period is variable according to the situation of the lord of the Dasa with reference to his rasi and is equal to (n ~ 1) vears, where जा represents the distance in rasis between the rasi and its lord taken clockwise or anti-clockwise according as the rasi belongs to the Savva or Apasavya group. These are modified according to the benefic or- malefic disposition of the lords. The Antaras in a main rasi Dasa follow the same principles as for the Dasa. Finally, there is the method of forecasting the events of the --- ## Page 19 xix year from the annual horoscope. Here a horoscope is cast for the time when the Sun returns exactly to the same longitude as he occupied at birth.! The other planetary positions and aspects and the Dasa periods for the vear are calculated according to the prescribed rules and probable events of the year are predicted in conjunction with the usual Dasa period effects. The Nadi Jvotisha is a unique system of astrology.The books on this system contain ready-made horoscopes giving out the whole life-reading with important events in the life of the native as well as his parents, wife, etc., and also information about the previous and future births, and other matters. Each rasi is divided into 150 amsas and each amsa has a Purva (former) bhaga and Uttara (latter) bhaga. The Purva and Uttara bhagas of the same amsa produce an entirely different type of life incidents. The selection of the appropriate Nadi for a person depends on some such factor as (a) certain lines on his palm (b) the length of his shadow (c) the name or an important event in the life, etc., and this clue to the selection is being kept as a secret by the astrologers in possession of the Nadis. The standard works on astrology have dealt with the determination of the duration of life, events, etc., by various methods such as, the special Yugas, the different kinds of Dasas with the Antaras, etc. On the basis of the Dasas the good and bad effects that the likely to be produced-have also been explained as ranging from Sampurna (complete) for planets in exaltation to Rikta (nil) for planets in debilitation, in inimical houses, etc. The type of Dasa that applies to a particular horoscope depends on the Shadvarga strength of the planets or on the presence of special Yogas. But, nowadays, most of the astrologers ignore these subtle distinctions and rely exclusively on the Udu (Nakshatra) Dasa systems. The principal Udu Dasa systems are : the Vimshottari prevalent in South India and in the Uttar Pradesh and Bengal, and the Ashtottari common in Gujarat, Saurashtra, Maharashtra, Bengal, etc., the Yogini in Northern India and the Kalachakra . Dasa which is rarely used. All these Dasas depend on the position 1 According to the Tajik system. --- ## Page 20 XX of the Moon at the time of birth and each has different Dasa lords and periods. The consensus of opinion is that the prediction of events based on the Vimshottari Dasa system is in better agree- ment with the actual events in life. To supplement this, the effects arising frm the transit of planets (Gochara) thorough the various rasis are delineated. In spite of all these, the nature of the event and the time of its occurrence, predicted with the help of the Dasa and its Antaras are very often found to be in disagreement with and sometimes even contradictory to what are predicted from the transits. Further the question whether a given horoscope would respond to the Dasa effects or to transit effect, or if both operate under certain conditions, what these conditions are, has proved very difficult to solve in the light of the existing methods. Of course, the authors have sought to explain away these knotty points by menas of the Vedha positions, but even these do not satisfactorily solve the problem. Evidently the sages were aware of these difficulties and have, therefore, propounded the Ashtakavarga system to enable us to eliminate thesé apparent anomalies and arrive at accurate results. | They have enumerated certain places as auspicious and others as inauspicious as reckoned from the houses occupied by the planets and from the Lagna. The marking (usually by bindus) . of these auspicious places in a person's horoscope with reference to the positions of the planets and the Lagna at birth constitutes the Ashakavarga (so named because of the eight positions) of that horoscope. The method of working usually adopted for preparing Ashtakavarga tables is to reckon the auspicious positions from the rising sign and the signs occupied by the planets. Further, every rasi (sign) is divided into 8 equal parts called Kakshyas and all the rasis have the same order of the rulers of Kakshyas and the rulers govern the same fixed degree areas. There are some drawbacks in this signwise method. The Bhinnashtakavarga fig- ures of the planets and the Samudavashtakavarga total in each rasi will be thc same for all persons born with a particular rasi as the Lagna on any day, irrespective of the degree rising. the transit effects will thus be the same and will be experienced --- ## Page 21 xxi simultaneously by all of them, on occount of the fixed positions of the Kakshyas. But it has been found from experience that the events and transit effects are different even for persons having the same sign but a different degree of it on the Ascendant. The case of twins may be cited as a proof of this statement. Again, persons may be born with the same rising degree (Lagna), but if the births are in different latitudes the M. C. and the other house-cusps would differ, and consequently the orientation of the planets would also differ. It may also be pointed out that whereas text-books on astrology carry on the sub-divisions of a rasi into Hora, Drekana and other Vargas right upto Shashtyamsa (60th part), the division into 8 parts (Kakshyas) is mentioned only in connection with the Ashtakavarga system.! If this Kakshya division of rasi is on a permanent basis, as it is supposed to be, it is conspicious by its absence in the Samjna Adhyvaya, (the chapter on terminology) in every text-book.) ॥ For certain purposes the bindus in a bhava have to the taken for Ashtakavarga calculations. When a bhava extends into two rasis and the Ashtakavarga is prepared on the basis of the rasis treated as bhavas, the question would be from which of the two rasis involved should we take the bindus for the particular bhava. Because of these defects of the signwise method the preparation of Ashtakavarga fromt he bhava positions of the planets appears to be a better method, for in that case the same planetary positions in the zodiac (on any day) will be found in different bhava positions in horoscopes having different degrees of the same rasi as Ascendant, or even for the same degree of Ascendant in different latitudes. Owing to this change of bhava positions of planets, the Bhinnashtakavarga figures and the Samudayashtakavarga total in each bhava for each horoscope will be different, This bhava method of preparing the Ashtakavarga does not tamper with or alter in anvway the interpretation of the verses describing the method of marking the auspicious places, 1. Division of rast into eight parts and 11 parts is found ` 2150 in the Tajik system --- ## Page 22 xxii for Bha or Bhavana is used as a synonym for rasi as well as bhava. Moreover, the division into Kakshyas may then be carried out so as to include even the signs intercepted in any bhava. The starting point of a Kakshya or the Kakshya lordship for a particular sign of the zodiac need not be the same in all horo- scopes. Further, the rasi multipliers may be taken as applicable to the bhavas. The multiplier for the rasi in which the Ascendant falls is taken as that of the Ist bhava and the remaining ones for the succeding bhavas taken in order. This can account for the difference in the timing and nature of events experienced by persons born with the same rising sign. The interpretations through the Ashtakavarga method can be broadly classified as (1) the magnitude or importance of a predicted event, (2) the nature, quality, kind, etc. of the event and (3) the time of the ¢vent. They are best judged by means of (a) “the Bhinnashtakavarga strength of the planets (b) the Prastarashtakavarga for determining the time of occurrence and the nature and type of the event and (©) the Samudayashtakavarga for finding out the important phases in one's life denoted by outstanding events, fortunate or otherwise. Again, the Ashtakavarga may be advantageously utilised for finding out the ‘best vear, month, day and Lagna (rising sign) for the commencement of any kind of function in order to ensure success and prosperity. After preparing the several Bhinnashtakavargas and the Samudaya total in each bhava, the good and bad effects arising from the position of planets at birth have to be judged. Planers associated with 1 to 3 dindus (benefic points) in their respective Ashtakavargas in the bhavas occupied by them at birth generally cause diseases, sorrow, agony and privations even when they are in exaltation, their own houses, etc., and the adverse effects are intensified when the planets are in dibility, inimical houses, etc.; with 4 bindus the effects are of a mixed nature, partly good and partly evil. Planets associated with 5 or more bindus are auspi- cious and bestow all kinds of prosperity, the extent of which increases with the number of dindus. If, in addition to this, they occupy Upachaya houses (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th), or own or exaltation houses and are strong according to Shadvargabala, the --- ## Page 23 न्या good effects ar still further enhanced. Even those planets that are in debility or occupy inimical houses or 6th, 8th or 12th bhava prove auspicious, if they are associated with 5 or more bindus (vide Ch. IV). This is the reason why the results predicted simply from the strength, position, etc., of the planets, without due consideration of the Ashtakavarga strength do not come up to expectation The Dasas of the different planets also are to be the judged from this Ashtakavarga strength. the Dasa of a planet is auspi- cious if the planet is associated with 5 or more bindus (in his Ashtakavarga) in the bhava occupied by him. The effect reaches the maximum when the number of bindus is 8; when the number is less than 4 the Dasa proves inauspicious and with 4 bindus it gives mixed results. Rahu and Ketu are said to be similar to Saturn and Mars respectively in their effects. As they are not included in the Ashtakavarga consideration, their Dasa effects may be judged from the Ashtakavargas of Saturn (for Rahu) and Mars (for Kctu), but taking Rahu and the house occupied by him in lieu of Saturn and Ketu and the house occupied by him in lieu of Mars respectively : Or they may be judged from the Ashtakavarga of Rahu given by Yavanacharya. This point can be settled only from observation. The Antaras (sub-periods) of the planets in any main Dasa prove auspicious, if both the houses owned by the Antara lord contain more than five bindus in the Ashtakavarga of the main Dasa lord and prove inauspicious if these houses contain less than four hindus (except in the case of the Sun and Moon where only one house has to be taken). The Ashtakavarga Dasa, though highly spoken of by ancient teachers of astrology (vide Chap. XV), is not availed of in practice now- a-days \ . Important events are, as a rule, predicted according to the positions of the planets in rasis and bhavas at birth. But the Ashtakavarga gives a new method of prediction of events, since we are asked to consider the positions (at birth) of plancts in different Kakshyas. They are good or bad according to the presence of a bindu or a rekha in that Kakshya. The magnitude --- ## Page 24 XXIV of the events will depend on the number of bindus or rekhas in the bhava oecupied by the different planets (vide Chap. XVII). After finding out the proportion of the good and bad planetary influences from the individual Ashtakavargas of the ‘planets, one has to modify that by a eonsideration of the Samudayashtakavarga total in the bhava. Since the Samudaya total in any bhava is the aggregate of the bindus of all the indieators it gives a difinite idea of the strength of that bhava with respect to all the planets. Any planet in a bhava having more than 28 bindus in the Samudayashtakavarga invariably produces good results, the magnitude increasing with the number of bindus : even a planet assoeiated with few bindus in his Ashtakavarga ‘proves auspicious to a limited extent, and a planet strong 0४ assoeiation with many bindus in his Ashtakavarga produces the best possible results. The type, quality, nature, etc., of the events arising from a planet's transit through a bhava have to be determined from the Shadvarga strength, the speeial Yogas, the aspects to the transit- ing planet, the lord of the Kakshya transited, the bhavas, etc., in eoordination with the Ashtakavarga strength also. The rasis are classified as (a) Karma (productive of action) represented by earnings through the voeation of the native; (b) Bhoga (enjoyment) represented by the enjoyment of a variety of food and drinks, music, danee, eosmetics, company of women etc., and (ठ) Vinasakah (destructive or afflicting) represented by harsh words, eastigation, threats and similar actions wounding the mind or body. The type of articles used for these are classified as Dhatu, Moola and Jiva. Dhatu (clement) class includes minerals, bones, mineral oils and their various deriva- tives. Moola (vegetable) class includes grass, erecpers, vines,bushes, herbs and trees and their products like seeds, flowers, wood, etc. Jiva (animal) elass includes all kinds of living beings originating from mammals, eggs and their various orders , and speeies. The rasis and the Drekanas are designated as Karma, Bhoga and Nasa, aceording to their Chara, Sthira and Ubhava --- ## Page 25 XXVv nature. Of thc three Navamsas of each Drekana, the Chara: represents Dhatu, the Sthira represents Moola and the Ubhaya stands for Jiva class. Each of these Navamasas produces nine types of results on account of its being occupied or aspected by the nine planets. Thus one rasi of the zodiac can produce 81 different types of results. The identificatrion and specification of these are to be made (1) from the Panchabhutatatva condition (cognised by the sensory organs and represented by the planets) existing at the particular time owing to some planet's or Kakshya- lord's presence in or aspect to a‘Kakshya. - The nature and name of an article in question can be identified by means of the letters of the alphabet appropriate to the rasis and planets. Their classification as good, medium or coarse can be made from the exaltation, own house,and other positions of the planets. For example if the Sun occupies a Karma-Dhatu (Chara Drekana-Chara Navamsa) place, he be- stows articles of the type ranging from gold to orie made of clay according to the position in exaltation, own house, etc. But this bestowal happens only when in the Kakshya which falls in this section of the zodiac contains a bindre in his Ashtakarga and not otherswise. If the Kakshyva contains a rekha(not marked generally),.the loss of the enumerated articles takes place. Suppose Saturn is in a Bhoga-Jiva (Sthira Drekana- Ubhaya Navamsa) place and Jupiter occupies a Nasa-Moola (UbhavaDrekana-Sthira Navamsa) place and that the Kakshya occupied by Jupiter con- tains bindu contributed by Saturn. If Saturn is stronger than Jupiter, enjoyment of happiness from wife and other relations is the result. If Saturn is the weaker one there is gain from sale of grass, wood, etc.If Jupiter is unfavourable owing to its occupation of a Kakshyva having a rekha,a stronger Saturn brings loss of happiness from wife and other relations and a stronger Jupiter brings loss from the produce of Moola types. In this manner, the Drekana-Navamsa positional results are to be interpreted and gain or loss from these sources is judged from the presence or absence of a bindu in the Kakshya that falls in this position. As an instance of delineating the results from the Panchabhutatatva, suppose the Sun occupies a Kakshyva of Sat- --- ## Page 26 XXVi urn. The Sun represents acerbity of taste and perception of shape, while Saturn represents astringent taste and perception of feel or touch. If the Kakshya occupied contains a bindu and if both the planets are strong, acquisition of silk or some equally fine fabric appealing to the eve and soft in feel may be expected. If both are weak, they represent ugly and coarse fabrics like black rugs,etc. But, when the Kakshya of Saturn contains a rekha, there is loss, instead of gain, of the above things, the nature of actual experi- ence depending on the strength or weakness of the Sun and Saturn. Here also the gain or loss has to be judged from the presence or absence of a bindu in the relevant Kakshya. These . effects of the transits of planets should also be interpreted according to the bhavas transited. The transits of planets through a bhava containing more than 4 bindus in their respective Ashtakavargas produce auspicious results relating to that bhava ; and conversely, transits through a bhava containing less than 4 bindus produce adverse results. The postion of the transited house- or, in other words, the ordinal number ‘of that house- may be reckoned as usual from the Ascendant where theAscendant describes the native himself, the 2nd bhava rules his wealth, family, etc, and so on.It may also be considered from the position of the respective radical planet whose kakshya is tran- sited e.g. fromradical Saturn when the Kakshva of Saturn is transited, and so on (vide Chap. XVI). Which of the two methods yields better results is a quéstion to be decided by further investigation. We have tentatively adopted the first method for the example horoscope as it appears to be the more conventional method The results are again to be judged according to the Karakatva of the planets. The Sun is the Karaka of the father and personality of the native; the Moon is the Karaka of the mind and the mother, and SO on Lastly, they should be judged from the position of the planets.in theUpachaya or Apachaya houses from the Lagna. The former increases the good effects (if there is a preponderance of bindus) to a greater extent than the latter. If there is a paucity of bindus, -the Upachava houses produce less adverse results as --- ## Page 27 xxvii compared with Apachaya houses. These effects are further en- hanced, if the planets in question occupy friendly, own or exaltation houses, or diminished if they are combust or in inimical ‘or debilitation houses. The next point for consideration is how to find the time of fruition and the periods of prosperity and adversity. This is done from the study of transits and the Prastarashtakavargas of the planets. Herein the bindus and the rekhas in a bhava are’ distrib- uted in the different Kakshyas, the bindus only being placed in the Kakshyas of the donating planets. When a planet transits a bhava his Prastarashtakavarga is to be referred to. Out of the total duration of a transitthe periods of transit through Kakshyas having bindus produce auspicious results and the remaining periods inauspicious ones. The net result will be good or bad according to the preponderance of bindus or rekhas.. , है। (0 time of transiting a bhava a planet produces eight types of results for the 8 Kakshyas which will be good or bad according to the presence or absence of a bindu in his Ashtakavarga.But all these do not take place at the same time(videChap. XVI). When a planet transits a Kakshya he pro- duces one and only one type of result, which is according to the bhava position he occupies from the radical position of the lord of the Kakshya transited. At a given moment there will be seven types of transit results produced by the seven planets. Thus the results of Gochara, i.¢.transits should be observed and analysed from the transits of all the planets. But in acutal pracrtice the Gochara results are gnerally considered from the Moon alone and "sometimes from the Lagna, by simply using the auspicious positions from the radical Moon or the Lagna in the respective planet's Ashtakavarga Here, too, the total number of bindus in the bhava transited is not taken into account for finding out the proportion of the predicted results. Owing to this and also owing to the effects of the Gochara considered in relation to other planets (which are usually not taken into account) some of the incidents predicted do not materialise, or if they do materialise, they only falsify the prediction. --- ## Page 28

It may perhaps be due to this reason that some teachers of astrology opine that the planetary Dasa effects are more abiding (Sthira) and the effects produced by the transits of planets (which are given with reference to the radical Moon only) are transitory (Asthira). When the efficacy of the planetary Dasas and their Antaras itself depends more on the Ashtakavarga strength of the Dasa lord and the number of birdus (in his Ashtakavarga) in the houses of the Antara lords (Vide Chap.XV) than on ba strength considered from Shadvarga, Uccha, Kendra positions, etc. alone, this statement (made without reference to Ashtakavarga) ` cannot always hold good. It is true that planets possessed of both these kinds of strength produce by far the best and auspicious results during their Dasas and Antaras than when they possess , only one kind of strength.Again, in a Dasa period many events are predicted as likely to take place and the time of some of these is determined from the Antaras. But whether any of these events can at all take place and that too, at the time determined, has to be judged from the transit of the Dasa and Antara lords through the various bhavas and the bindus contained in him. The occur- rence of the event and the success of the prediction are assured, only when the bhava occupied at that time (at the commencement of the Dasa as well as at the time of the transit) by the respective planets contain more bindus than rekhas in the Ashtakavarga of the Dasa lord, irrespective of the bhava transited. If the bindus are very few the prediction ends in failure, for the expected good does not materialise or does so only in a feeble way. Therefore, even in an innocuous Dasa period, the best possible results and ` the time of their occurrence can be determined from the transit of the planets through bhavas having the maximum number of bindus in their respectrrive Ashtakavargas. Conversely, even . during the best Dasa period, a frustration or failure can ` happen, when the planets in transit at that time occupy bhavas having the least number of bindus in their respective Ashtakavargas. The interpretation of the Gochara results from the Samudayashtakavarga gives greater precision in respect of time and greater accuracy in respect of the shape of events than that --- ## Page 29 XXIX from individual Ashtakavargas. Since 337 is the total number of bindus, the average for each bhava is 28. Bhavas containing 28 - or more bindus are auspicious and those with less than 28 are inauspicious. When one or more planets transit a bhava having more than 28 bindus they invariable provide auspicious results which are augmented by the increase in the number of dindus. These results will be the sum total of the effects arising from position of the transited house, that is to say, the ordinal number of that honse as reckoned from the radical planet as well as the Lagna. The planet receiving less than 4 bindus (in his Ashtakavarga) alone may not produce any auspicious results, but in any case he does not canse harm during the transit. Again, the Samudayashtakavarga is very helpful in estimating the periods of greatest prosperity or adversity from the transit of planets throngh the bhavas containing the highest or lowest number of bindus. The periods of prosperity or affliction or possible death of the several relations of the native also can be judged from the radical positions of the respective Karaka planets and the transits affecting such planets. In a civil year of 365 days the Sun goes round the zodiac once and he takes a month for passing through each rasi or bhava. As the zodiac is divided into 96 Kakshyas in the Ashtakavarga of the Sun (and other planets), the Sun takes on anaverage about 3.3/4days (the exact duration depends on the extent of the Kakshya and the motion of the Sun) to transit a Kakshya and during this time he brings to maturity the effects “(good or bad) relating to that Kakshya. During one year the Moon ` makes about 13 and odd revolutions round the zodiac and produces results in accordance with her Ashtakavarga bindus, thirteen times in a year as compared with those produced by the Sun once. She takes abont 17 Ghatikas, 1.९. 6 hrs. 48 min. (varying according to the Kakshya as well as her motion) to transit a Kakshya. During this transit about 4 rasis of the zodiac and 7 Kala-horas elapse owing to the diurnal rotation of the earth. From these details one can easily find out the time of the best period nearest to the hour, from (a) the positions of the Sun and Moon in Kakshyas having bindus (in their respective --- ## Page 30 XXX Ashtakavargas), (0) from the rising sign containing the maximum number of bindus (in Samudayahtakavarga) and (c) from the Kala-hora of the strongest planet. A further sub-division of the time to the nearest quarter-hour can be had from the Ascendant and Kala-hora by selecting the moment when a Kashya having a bindu is rising. The expected event will come to pass at this time. Importance is given to the Sun as he is the planet that brings to maturity, and to the Moon as she nourishes and preserves, the effects that are indicated as certain from the Ashtakavarga combined with 11056 determined from Dasas and Antardasas, Yogas, etc. If other planets are in bhavas having the maximum bindus in their respective Ashtakavargas and in Kakshyas asso- ciated with hindus, effects of the events are experienced to a great extent, and to a still greater extent, if the planets are in bhavas having more bindus in the Samudayashtakavarga. , This method can be used to the greatest advantage for the selection of an auspicious time (Muhurta) for any function. Find out the month (to be determined from the Solar ingress day) and . the particular day on which the sum of the hindus asssociated with the transiting planets (from their respective Ashtakavargas prepared from the birth horoscope) in the bhavas occupied by them, is the maximum. Select the period when the Sun and Moon are passing through Kakshyas having bindus. From the bhavas and Kala-horas rising during this period, select that bhava which has the maximum number of bindus as the rising sign, and/or the Kala-hora of the planet which is asssociated with the maximum number of bindus. From the Ascendant choose the time when a Kakshya having a bindu in the Ashtakavarga of the lord of that bhava 15 rising. If all these are selected properly one is assured of success. When sages like Parasara, Narada, Garga, etc., and even Varahamihira (in the Laghujataka) maintain that in considering transits (Gochara) of planets it is the bhavas having the maximum number of bindus in their respective Ashtakavargas and/or in Samudayashtakavarga that. should be taken for all auspicious functions, and not merely the bhavas reckoned to be good from --- ## Page 31 XXXi the radical Moon, we fail to understand why this method of analysing is ignored or neglected. It may perhaps be due to paucity of information in the published and existing standard works on this branch of astrology in all its aspects, and to the fact that what is available has been scattered about in various works or in manuscripts not within the reach of ordinary students. According to ancient authors selection of good bhavas through mere Gochara position is a gross and superficial method while the selection made through Ashtakavarga is a more refined and hence a more acceptable method. They further state that one should resort to ordinary Gochara selections only when Ashtakavarga positions are not available (vide Chap. XIII). In this manner the Ashtakavarga can be applied to deter- mine the time of events and the interpretation of planetary influences. As sage Parasara says (Chap. 1) the Ashtakavaraga is a simpler and easier method of gauging the strength of planets, ` the effect of transits and providing the events in one's life from the horoscope, as compared with other methods like the Shadvarga strength, Yogas. Dasas, etc. In short, "the Ashtakavarga tables are useful in the prediction of most of the important events of life. In predicting the length of life, Antardasas, and all other benefic or malefic results, these Ashtakavarga results are first determined , to ascertain which planets are benefic (or malefic) and in which houses, as they pass round the heavens; and then ultimate results are judged."

In conclusion, we crave the indulgence of our readers for scores of solecisms that have crept in while we were struggling to squeeze the right sense out of many a tough Sanskrit verse and express it in a foreign language. Further, we also consider it necessry to emphasize here the fact that the present treatise claims 10 be not a master key but only an attempt to solve some of the knotty problems of predictive astrology. We are fully aware that we have touched only the fringe of the subject so far, and much more remains to be done by way of investigation in order to confirm (and sometimes even to reject outright, if necessary,) the views and findings of the ancients. But for obvious reasons we have been compelled to postpone all such work to a later edition. In the meanwhile, we fervently hope that even what little spade- work we have done at present will suffice to stimulate interest among all research-loving students who are, no doubt, better qualified than ourselves to delve deeper into this fascinating subject. POSTSCRIPT In view of our departure from the traditional method and the adoption of the bhava method of Ashtakavarga the reader will naturally have the curiosity to know how our innovation would work in high latitudes. We are, therefore, applying the , Ashtakavarga system to the horoscope of King Edward VII after converting it to the Nirayana basis. It necd not be said that for ` observing the effect of transits through the houses the tropical horoscope can as well be used.

It is not possible for people to understand and explain all these in detail, owing to their sinful deeds and lack of proper intelligence, in this Kaliyuga. Therefore, please tell me that Shastra which even people of low-intellect can understand and by which they can know good and bad events and the longevity clearly, from the positions of planets at the time of consideration.” पराशर उवाच - साधु पृष्ठं त्वया ब्रह्मन्‌ कथयामि तवाग्रतः। ` लोकयात्रापरिज्ञानमायुषो निर्णयं तथा।।५।। सकरस्याविरोधञ्च शास्रस्यापि प्रयोजनम्‌। जनानामुपकारार्थ सावधानमनाः शृणु 11६1 | --- ## Page 38 4 अष्टकवर्ग [व ————— Slokas 5,6 -Parasara replied, "Oh Brahmin, vou have put the right question.

The reverse is the case, if the said bhavas are occupied by malefics, or their lords are in debilitation, or in inimical "house. The general effects of this type mentioned by eminent Acharyas, learned in Astrology, have been explained by me (in the preceding chapters) which are useful in finding out the nature of life, longevity, etc. --- ## Page 39

But (due to the minuteness of the movements of planets and the consequent inability to fix their exact positions in the horoscope) even sages like Vasishtha and Brihaspati are not able to determine these results accurately. Could it then be possible for mortals to find them correctly in this Kaliyuga? (Definitely not). ` It is said that the delineations (predictions) fromAstrology are of two kinds, viz., the general and the particular one (special). The general method is from the positions of the planets in the different bhavas. Now | shall explain the special method (Astakavarga)". यथा लग्नाच्च चन्द्राच्च ग्रहाणां भावजं फलम्‌। तथाऽन्येभ्योऽपि खेटेभ्यो विचिन्त्यं देवविद्वरैः।1१३।। अतो रव्यादिखेटानां सलग्नानां पृथक्‌ पृथक्‌| अष्टानां सर्वभावोत्थं यथोक्तमशुभं शुभम्‌ 11१४ | । Slokas 13, 14- Just as the effects of the planets in different bhavas are determined from the Lagna and the Chandra Lagna, 50 also, the effects should be found out from the positions of other planets, considering each as the Lagna and the bhava positions of the planets in respect to that planet. The experts in Astrology should consider in this manner. Therefore the good and bad effects that arise due to the positions of the planets in different bhavas,with respect to the Sun and other planets and the Lagna(the eight fixed points) are given by me. (This is known as the Ashtakavarga system). Notes : Thus it is found that there are 8 fixed positions in a horoscope namely, the positions of the seven planets and that of the ascendant at the time of birth. The positions, favourable or unfavourable are always counted with reference to them. Thus a planet can, at the maximum, receive 8 binefic points (marked) as 0. बिन्दु bindu in a particular bhava, when he is favourably posited from all these fixed positions. If a planet is in a bhava unfavourable from all these positions, he receives 8 malefic points (marked as |. रेखा rekha) --- ## Page 40 6 अष्टकवर्ग This method to determine the places of benefic or malefic effects is known as the Ashtakavarga system because of the है fixed positions. होरामकरन्द :- यत्र स्थितः शीतकरो नराणां स्याज्जन्मराशि तमुदाहरन्ति | यथा यथा येषु खगाः सलग्नाः स्थिता न ते सप्तकतो भवन्ति|| अतोऽष्टराशिर्मनुजो त्र सर्व: प्रोक्तोऽत्र तेभ्यश्च शुभाशुभानि। फलानि तेषां च वियोगयोगा यदाऽ्ष्टवर्गेत्थिफलं स्फुटं स्यात्‌ || जातिकतिलक :- येषु राशिषु सूर्याद्या afger= च जन्मनि | ` स्युरष्टौ राशयस्तत्र मुख्यौ चन्द्रविलग्नजौ । | यद्रोचरे जन्मगृहाद्‌ ग्रहाणां पृथक्‌ फल दादशराशिषूक्तम्‌। नृणां तदेकर्षभुवा फलस्य भेदादनैकान्तिकमुक्तमाद्यैः।।१५।। Slokas 15 - When planets are moving through the twelve bhavas with reference to the bhavas occupied by them ` at birth, they produce different kinds of effects. Due to variations in these effects it cannot be laid down as a rule that identical results will be experienced by persons bom even under the same natal star, Notes : Computation of Ashtakavarga - from Janmakundali or from Chalitakundali? Whether the Ashtakavarga tables are to be prepared from Janmakundali or from Chalitakundali (Bhavakundali) is a subject of great controversy. Some astrologers prepare the Ashtakavarga from the natal chart i.e., Janmakundali, while others prepare it from Bhavakundali. In this book the latter method is adopted for the following reasons :- 1. Consider, that a child is born at a time when 1st degree . of Kataka sign (35-1°-0") is rising and its birth chart is prepared with Kataka as the Lagna. It will take nearly two hours according to the latitude of the place for Kataka Lagna to end and Simha Lagna to rise. After nearly 1 hour and 50 minutes past the above birth time, if another child is born in the same city (hospital or town) naturally Kataka Lagna will be rising with nearly 33-28°- --- ## Page 41

0 or so. The birth-chart of the second child will have Kataka Lagna and the planets will be more or less in the same signs as those in the case of the first one. There will be no other appreciable difference between these two horoscopes except that of the degrees of the Lagna. Hence, their Ashtakavarga tables will be identical, if prepared on the rasi basis. Can one dare say that the future events on the strength of the same Ashtakavarga figures of the above two children will be idential? Qur wise Rishis. sages and astrologers did not mean so. 2. Even in the case of twins born at an interval of 15.30 or 45 minutes, having same Lagna rasi, they have their future events quite different. One of them may die and the other may. survive. One becomes a rich man while the other remains poor. One marries and has children while the other is unable to marry and has no means to pull on with. Why are there such glaring diferences in the events, ever in the case of twins, born of the same womb, more or less at the same time and having the same natal charts? There is no reply to this, if the Ashtakavarga tables ` are prepared from Janmakundali. 3. Shripati in his book "Jataka-paddhati" has mentioned that half the sum of two adjacent Bhavamadhyas (cusps) is called their संधि (Sandhi-junction) which falls in one of the 12 rasis. The portion of rasi upto Sandhi belongs to the latter half of the previous bhava and the portion after the Sandhi belongs to the first half of the next bhava. Hence planets in one rasi may give the effect of the previous or of the next bhava according to their positions with respect to the Bhavasandhi. Planets in two adjacent , rasis may give the effect of one bhava when they are within the Sandhis of that bhava. Further on Shripati says, (Chapter 1, verse 2) that the . bhavas should be calculated at the time of birth, journey, assump- tion of a vow, the tonsure, royal coronation, marriage and other auspicious ceremonies. For, it is by calculating bhavas that the effects due to certain Yogas (combinations) are judged accurately. ’ Hence, it is appropriate that for Ashtakavarga also the bhava --- ## Page 42 ६ अष्टकवर्ग positions Should be taken to assess the strength of the planets and their effects pertaining to various bhavas. 4. Usually, a rasi is divided into eight equal parts, each of which. is called Kakshya (कक्ष्या). If 1251 method is taken, then every rasi will have its first Kakshya belonging to Saturn with same range of degrees (1.6. from o° to 3१-45), The effect of Saturn's transit through that Kakshva whether good or bad should be felt by all people, simultaneously. But this is not so in real life. Therefore, the Kakshyva division should be from the beginning of the bhava and not from the rasi. Then, for a particular zodiacal degree the Kakshva lords will be different according to the changes in the Lagna positions. 5. Moreover, if the Ashtakavarga tables are prepared from the Bhavakundali as determined from the longitudes of the various planets and the Lagna, one can take into consideration the changes in the bhava positions of some planets here and there. This seems to be a better view.Kalvanavarma. the celebrated author of Saravali and the great astrologerGunakara, author of Horamakaranda.also hold the same view. It is therefore necessary that for purposes of preparing ~ Ashtakavarga of a native the Chalitakundali (and not the Janmakundali) must be considered. This basis has been adopted in this book. --- ## Page 43 CHAPTER II METHOD OF COMPUTING ASHTAKAVARGA गोचरग्रहवशान्मनुजानां यच्छुभाशुभफलाभ्युपलब्थ्यै | अष्टवर्ग इति यो महदुक्तस्तत्प्रसाधनमिहाभिदधेऽहम्‌।।१।। Sloka 1 - The method of computing Ashtakavarga (अ = क वर्ग) which has been highly spoken of by people learned in Astrology. and which can help us to find out good and bad effects caused by the planets in transit, through the various bhavas (of the zodiac), is now being explained bv me. जातकपारिजातः- चक्र विलिख्य सहलग्नदिवाकराद्यैः सूर्यादिलग्नभवनान्तवियच्वराणाम्‌ | वाक्याष्टकोपगतवर्णनियोजिताश्चे- भ्िन्नाष्टवर्गजनिताखिलविन्दवः स्युः | | आलिख्य सभ्यग्भुवि राशिचक्र ग्रहस्थितिं तज्जननप्रवृत्ताम्‌। तत्तद्‌ग्रहक्षात््रमशोऽष्टवर्ग प्रोक्तं करोम्यक्षविधानमत्र।।२।। Sloka 2 - Draw the figure of Rasichakra (राशिचक्र) on the floor and insert the planets and the Lagna in their respective bhavas (as represented by signs) as it was at the time of birth.

Notes: Parasara first enumerates the malefic places and then the benefic places in the preparation of Ashtakavarga. He says that the house occupied by a planet whose Ashtakavarga is consid- ered, should be taken as the Lagna and the succeeding houses as the 2nd, 3rd.etc. In the Sun's Ashtakavarga the number of malefic points in each bhava from the Sun is gtven: then the names of the planets contributing them. The same method is followed to enumerate benefic places The malefic point is called Karana or bindu and the benefic one, rekha or Sthana (Parasara, Yavanas etc.,) while the authors in South India (Mantresvara, Vaidyanath etc..) call the malefic point, rekha and benefic one, bindu. In this book benefic points ` are termed as bindus and malefic ones as rekhas. The verses which differ from this nomenclature are marked with an asterisk throughout the book. The Parasara method of putting points, being cumbersome, this book gives the verses from Prasnamarga. They (mnemonic verses) are easy to memorise and apply. लूतः सिंहनटं कुलान्तसनिकं श्रीवाणतान्गनटं काले धर्मसदानकं परवसाहीनोयमित्थं विधोः। --- ## Page 52 अष्टकदर्गः वर्ग न्यस्य तु गर्भमासधनिक गोणान्तिकं चाष्टमं गीतिज्ञोयमिति क्रमेण कथितं सूर्यादिलग्नान्तिकम्‌ | ।५।। Sloka 5 — In the Moon's Ashtakavarga she is auspicious from:- (a) ) (©) (d) ९) (9 (8) (h) the Sun in the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th and [Ith houscs: herself in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th houses; Mars. in the 2nd, 3rd, Sth, 6th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses; Mercury in the Ist, 3rd, 4th, Sth, 7th, 8th, 10th and [lth houses’ Jupiter* in the 19, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th houses; Venus in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, Sth, 10th and 11th houses; ‘Saturn in the 3rd, Sth, 6th, and 11th houses; and the Lagna in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th houses. ` Thus the several auspicious places considred from है fixed points beginning with the Sun and ending with the Lagna have been given. भौमस्य बाणतनय लिप्ताद्यं पुत्रवत्सदीनाढ्यम्‌। गुणतुष्टस्तनयारिस्तेजः पात्रं कविः सदा धनिकम्‌ 11६ | | कलितनयश्चेदर्क्वदितं वाक्य क्रमेण THR | Slokas 6, 6(1/2) - In Mars' Ashtakavarga he is auspicious from :- (2) 0) © ५) €) 0 (8) (h) .the Sun in the 370. 5th, 6th, 10th and 11th houses: the Moon in thc 3rd, 6th and 11th houses; himself in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and । Ith houses; Mercury in the 3rd.

(h) the Lagna in the Ist, 3rd, 4th,6th,10th and 11th houses. In this manner the auspicious positions have been men- tioned by me in order, by figures represented by the consonants. These bindus are to be recorded from the houses occupied by the planets and the Lagna in preparing Ashtakavarga of each planet. Notes : It 15 seen that there is a difference between Parasara and Varahamihira, in the case of Jupiter in the Moon's Ashtakavarga and of Mars in that of Venus' Ashtakavarga. This may not affect the Samudayashtakavarga figures much but in the Bhinnashtakavarga this might bring a difference in the reductions and further calculations (as explained later). In this book Parasara is followed throughout, since his (and his followers') works alone give the effects of the planets according to their Ashtakavarga strength, etc.. in detail. Where as Varahamihira has mentioned Ashtakavarga positions only in Brihat-jataka, Ch. IX and has said nothing further about the subject. Again when the Samudayashtakavarga mnemonic verses "वालो बलिष्ठो - (infra-Chap. XIV - verses 2,3)" are considered, it is found that this author closely follows Parasara. Mantresvara (Phaladeepika) too agrees with this view. = | शृन्येनोक्तं दशमं याल्पा पूर्वात्तु संख्या सा। एकदविपरा वदति क्रमेण लाभव्ययाविति न्याय: 11१४ | | Sloka 14 - In the mnemonics (वऽ 4 to 13) of the Ashtakavarga computation, the n, न which is zero in the (कटपयादि) Katapavadi values, here represents 10 1.6.10 house.

(But in Brihat-jataka Chapter IX, Slokas 1 to 7 give the order of donors which has to be followed in Trikona and Ekadhipatva ~Shodhanas).

In any sign (bhava), taking into consideration all the bindus (good) and rekhas (bad)indicated by the planets at the time of birth, only so much bear fruit as remain after cancellation against one another. The good results of the bindus that remain when in Upachava (3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) houses, in friendly or own houses or in exaltation, prove increasingly auspicious; while in Apachava houses, in inimical houses and in debilitation houses become weakened, during the transit of the respective planet whose Ashtakavarga is considered. - Notes — (1) The net excess of rekhas over bindus produces greater malefic results in Apachaya houses and they are a little improved in Upachayva houses. (2) Similarly it can be seen that houses containing 28 or more bindus in the Samudayashtakavarga prove auspicious and those having less than 28 bindus are inauspicious during the transit of any planet. (Ref. Chap. XIV— verse No. 7). होरामकरन्दः- स्थानानीष्टफलप्रदानि कथतान्यन्यानि दुष्टान्यत: कार्य तद्धिचरं ततोऽधिकफलं दद्युः स्वराशेर्ग्रहाः। मित्रस्वोपचयस्थिता शुभममी पुष्णन्ति शश्रत्फलं निम्नक्षापिचयद्विषट्‌ गृहगताः प्रायः फलं नो शुभम्‌।। --- ## Page 61

The aggregate of all these bindus is 337 which is called Samudaya bindus; the sum total of all the Bhinnashtakavargas (i.e., the seven plantes) is called Samudaya. जातकादेशमार्गः- देवो धवो धीगो विष्णुः क्षमी रामो धिग: क्रमात्‌। अष्टवर्गोक्तशुल्काक्षसंख्याः सूर्यात्समीरिताः।। जातकाभरणः- भुजंगवेदा नवसागराश्च नवान्गयः सागरसायकाश्च* | रसेषवो युग्मशरा नवत्रितुल्याः क्रमेणाष्टकवर्गलेखाः। | Elsewhere :- देवः सुम्भः समा रम्भा नाभिर्विद्वान समा क्रमात्‌। These are the rekhas (malefic points) for the planets from the Sun onwards: viz., 48, 47, 57, 42; 40, 44, and 57 respectively totalling 333. The (eight) donors are the seven planets and the Lagna while receipients are the seven planets only. This will be observed by taking a comparative view of the donors of the bindus given in the verses 4 to 13. Figures given in the third column show the number of places in which the respective planet is auspicious from the Moon (Gochara for the Moon) which is usually given in the standard works as Gochara. --- ## Page 62 28 अष्टकवर्गः <--[0105---> ~ => Receipients Notes — Application of the rules for preparing Ashtakavarga of the Standard Horoscope:- In preparing Ashtakavarga tables, to denote the benefic a bindu '0' is put and to denote a malefic place a rekha ' I (vertical line) is put. The donors of bindus or rekhas are the seven planets (Sun to Saturn) and the Lagna. Thus in the Ashtakavarga chart of any planet there can be maximum 8 bindus and minimum nil in any 10086. The Sun is said to be auspicious in (पुरवासदुग्धनाकः) 1.6. in the 15, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses from his position (the house occupied by him).

pt | --- ## Page 70 36 ` अष्टकवर्गः The Lagna’s Ashtakavarga (49 bindus)

It has been found that the LagnaAshtakavarga is used only for Avurdava (longevity). The reason being that in the Bhinnashtakavargas of the several planets, the auspicious places from the Lagna have been taken into consideration and the sum of bindus received by each planet includes bindus contributed by the Lagna too. Again in the Lagna Ashtakavarga the auspicious positions given from the Lagna are the same in order and places, as those given under the various Bhinnashtakavargas. This is contrary to the conception accepted for the Ashtakavarga consideration of the planets for, the seven planets through their transits become capable of donating and receiving bindus, whereas the Lagna being fixed and having no tansit, is not supposed to receive bindus in the same sense as the planets. ः Some astrologers add the Lagna Ashtakavarga bindus again to (समुदायाष्टकवर्ग) the Samudavashtakavarga total of 337 which is only a duplication of the Lagna bindus. If 337, the total for Samudayashtakavarga figure is divided by 12, the quotient 28 represents the average for each bhava. All books mention good effects for any bhava when the bindus are 28 or above. This shows that the figure 28 is the turning point. If the Lagna Ashtakavarga figure is added to 337.the toal becomes 386 which --- ## Page 71

gives 32 as average for a bhava. No book has mentioned 32 as the turning point. (See Verse 17 and Chap. X1V, Verse 7).

Since Rahu is a shadow planet (ascending node of the Moon) he has not been alloted ownership of any part in the zodiac. It may be for this reason that he is not taken into consideration in Samudayashtakavarga along with the 7 planets, nor is he given the lordship of any Kakshya.

If two houses of a triad are without any bindu, remove the bindus in the third house also. It is a rare case to have. two houses without bindus in a planet's Ashtakavarga and much more so to have them in trinc to one another. In the matter of Trikona-shodhana there are different schools of thought according to the interpretation given to “त्रिकोणेषु च यन््यूनं age त्रिषु शोधयेत्‌” One school accepts the view that the minimum number should be taken away from all the three houses; , while the other school says that the reduction should be carried on till, 21 the three houses contain bindus equal to the minimum.

Notes — In this verse the author has given in a very concise and simple form the rules to be followed for Trikona and Exadhipatyashodhanas- as under :- 1. In Trikonashodhana subtract the minimum figure out of the three houses of a tnad irrespective of the figures in them. 2. No reduction should be made when one house has no bindu. 3. If the three figures in the three houses are equal, remove all. In the Ekadhipatyashodhana the same rules apply with exception that figures in the house occupied by a planet should not be changed. The definition of Shuddhapinda is given. DEFINITIONS The sum total of the bindus that remain in various bhavas after the two reductions is known as Shodhvavashishta (रोध्यावशिष्ट). The sum of the products of bindus and the respective rasi multipliers is called Rasipinda (राशिपिंड). The sum of the products of the bindus and the respective planet multipliers is called Grahapinda. The sum of Rasipinda and Grahapinda is known as Shodhyapinda शोध्यपिंड), Shuddhapinda (शुद्धपिंड) or Yogapinda. Mantresvara defines Shodhyapinda as "संयोगः शोध्यशोषाणां शोध्यपिंड इति स्मृत". (Phaladeepika Ch. XXIV, Verse 3) It means that the sum of the bindus remaining after the two , reductions is called Shodhyapinda. This definition differs from that given by other standard authors. --- ## Page 83

Even a malefic planet occupying a friend's house or his own exaltation, gives good results; while a benefic planet occupying an inimical house or his own depression or in combust, becomes hostile. All the above points should be considered before deciding the effects of a particular bhava. फलदीपिका :- पापोऽपि स्वगृहस्थश्चेभ्दाववृद्धिं करोत्यलम्‌ | नीचारातिगृहस्थश्चेत्कूर्याम्दावक्षयं रुवम्‌ । । स्वोच्चस्थोऽपि शुभो भावहानिं दुःस्थानपो यदि | ` सुस्थानपश्चेत्‌ स्वोच्चस्थः पापी भावानुकूल्यकृत्‌ 11 * Cf.

Conversely, all planets. occupying bad positions (i.e., 6th 8th and 12th) or their debilitations or inimical signs in rasi or Navamsa, invariably produce good results if they are associ- ated with more bindus (5 or more). Note . All the planets, howsoever will placed, or otherwise powerful, produce malefic results if they are associated with 3 or less bindus in their Bhinnashtakavargas. Conversely, all of them, howsoever adversely placed or otherwise weak, always produce benefic results if they are associated with § or --- ## Page 96 62 अष्टकवर्ग: more bindus.

Note ~ Saturn is the Karka for oneself.

The Sun is the Karaka for the father.

Mars is the Karaka for the brothers and sisters. Mercury is the Karaka for the. relations and maternal uncle.. Jupiter is the Karaka for the children. : Venus is the Karaka for the wife.

That planet (benefic or ‘malefic) in his transit throngh these bhavas, gives good effects according to the bhava positions which they (these bhavas) bear from the house occupied by that planet at birth; in the bhavas with less number of bindus the transit of the said planet causes adverse results (to the native and to the Karaka presented by the planet).

When he passes through that bhava beneficial results connected with the 7th bhava will be experienced by the father. --- ## Page 97

Again, the 2nd bhava from the Sun contains 2 bindus.

This is the same as the Chakra represented by the South Indian type of putting the horoscope (see page 11). This system of reckoning directions is generally used for things of a permanent nature such as one's permanent property, lands, etc., for considereation of directions in one's own house, compound, locality (such as village or town) or completion of any undertaking of a long standing or permanent nature (e.g., Chap.

The Sun will give good or bad results in all the remaining bhavas during his transit through Kakshyas having bindus or rckhas. Similarly the good and bad effects due to the transits of the remaining planets should be judged from their respective Prastarashtakavargas.

It is convenient to divide a bhava in the following way. Divide into 4 equal parts the difference in degrees from Arambhasandhi (आरंभसंधि beginning) to Bhavamadhya (भावमध्य - --- ## Page 104

the middlc part of that bhava) and similarly make 4 equal parts from Bhavamadhya to Bhavasandhi (i.c., end of the house). The reason is that by Bhavanmadhya, it is meant the exact middle of the bhava in the circle passing through that latitrude, to which the ecliptic eirele is collated. It is said that the Dashamabhavamadhya (दशमभावमध्य- cusp of the 10th house) is the highest point. Natu- rally, in a circular Zodiac points on citherside of the cusp will be at a lower level. SARVACHANCHACHAKRA (Refer the attached Chart) :- The Sarvachanchachakra is a chart incorporating in it practically all the important details of the Ashtakavarga and the horoscope. The biggest circle represents the map of the Zodiac. It is divided into 12 bhavas according to the method followed in India (Method of Porphyry-Jatakapaddhati of Sharipati). The Sandhis of the 12 bhavas are given in signs. degrees and minutes at their proper places. Every bhava has a cusp. The portion from Bhavasandhi of a particular bhava to the cusp of that house is divided into four equal parts. Similarly, the portion between the cusp and the endofthe bhava is also divided into four equal parts. Thus a bhava is divided into eight parts known as Kakshyas. The beginning of the Kakshya is shown against it in signs, degrees and minutes. In the strip below the first (the biggest) circle the names of Kakshyalords are given in all the bhavas against the Kakshyas. In the Lagnabhava the English equivalents of the Kaskshya lords are marked The positions of the planets are also indicated at their proper longitudes by arrows. This enables one to find out immediately the positions, in degrees and minutes, the Kakshyas, the bhavas and the Zodiacal rasis of all the planets at birth. Below the second circle is the Sun's Ashtakavarga. The Sun's Pratarashtakavarga is given in a circular form as against’ the tabular one (refer page No.61). The bindus in the various bhavas are the same as shown in the tabular form. From the chart one can have a visual idea of the transit of the Sun and --- ## Page 105 70 अष्टकवर्गः the other planets through the various bhavas and their Kakshyas by which results can be judged on a collective basis. Below the third circle is the Moon's Prastarashtakavarga. Below the fourth circle is the Mars’ Prastarashtakavarga. Below the fifth circle is the Mercury's Prastarashtakavarga. Below the sixth circle is the Jupiter's Prastarashtakavarga. Below the seventh circle is the Venus' Prastarashtakavarga. Below the eighth circle is the Satum's Prastarashtakavarga. The portion below the ninth circle represents the Bhinashtakavarga figures in each bhava of thc Sun, thc Moon, etc., in order and bhava number is marked in Roman numerals. the portion below the tenth circle represents the Samudayashtakavarga figure of the bindus in each bhava. The portion below the eleventh circle shows the Chalita or Bhava- kundali of the Standard Horoscope with planets therein. The portion belwo the twelfth circle, 1.6., the smallest circle in the chart represents the Samudavashtakavarga figurs of rekhas (malefic points) which is derived by deducting thc Samudayashtakavarga figures of the bindus from 56 (total Kakshvas in a bhava) This chart is important in the sense that it incorporates practically all the details of the Ashtakavarga such as Prastara. Bhinna, Samudaya, Kakshyas, etc., in one chart and is named as Sarvachanchachakra (सर्वचंचाचक्रो. For predicting results. the {Gochara) transits of all" the planets could be easily watched. Moreover it is very convenient to find out the bhava positions of all the planets in transit from their original positions, from the Lagna or from one another from this chart. In short it is the best form of presenting the horoscope fitted to the Zodiac in a circular form. This Chakra can be prepared from the Sayana posi- tions also and the effects of the transits of the planets can be studied therefrom. For other purposes like Trikond and Ekadhipatya reduction,etc., the Nirayana positions should be considered. --- ## Page 106

But, if at the time of passing through 2 Kakshya having a bindu, the planet is in his debilitation, inimical house or in combust, he causes great sorrow. मानसागरी :- रेखांस्थाने तु सम्प्राप्ते मदा पापशुभग्रहाः+ । शुभास्ते च विजानीयाद्‌ बिन्दुस्थाने च दुःखदाः 1 । अर्के:न्दुगुरव: शुक्रः क्रमादन्ये बलक्रमात्‌ । ` भवंति स्थानदाः खेटाश्चत्वारश्च यदैकदा । 1६ । । धनादीनां यथा लब्धिः पंच चेद्यूज्यतायुतः। आरोग्यं वखललाभश्च षटसु पटस्य बन्धनम्‌ | 1७ | | सप्त चेद्राज्यलाभः स्यादेवं करणदा यदि | धनहानिस्ततो व्याधिस्ततस्तु विपदादयः । ।८ । । सप्तभिर्मरणं प्रोक्तमक्षाभावे मृतिर्भवेत्‌ | तत्र तिष्ठति चेत्खेटे त्वन्यस्मिन्यदि वा मतः ।।९। । उच्चसंख्याधिका अंशाश्चंद्रस्य स्थानदाः परे। ` शुभास्या; शुभदाः प्रोक्ता राशिनात्र क्रमात्फलम्‌ । ।१०।। --- ## Page 107 72 अष्टकवर्ग Slokas 6-10 The capacity of planets to. give good or bad effects are according to their natural (Naisargika) strength, the order of which 15 the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Saturn. When any four planets in transit occupy Kakshvas having hindus there is acquisition of wealth ; with any 5 planets honour, good health and gain of apparels; with any 6 planets coronation and with 7 planets occupying Kakshyas having bindus acquisition of kingdom. Similarly, when any four planets in transit occupy Kakshvas having no bindus there is loss of wealth; with any 5 planets sickness; with any 6 planets all sorts of misfortunes and with 7 planets possible death. Death is a certainty if in the above case, one of the planets occupies a bhava which in his Ashtakavarga contains no bindu at all. Any other planet in that bhava may not cause death, but brings some calamity equivalent to dealth. When more than 3 planets are in Kakshyas having bindus they prove auspicious and give good results according to the nature of the bhavas and the rasis occupied by them. Notes: The maximum effect, out of the 35 types of 4 planets in Kakshyas having bindus, will be that of the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus and next in order that of the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Mars, etc., etc. शून्यो राशिरनिष्ट एव सकलः साष्टाक्ष इष्टस्तथा सप्ताक्षोऽपि यदक्षमत्रपतितं नो त्स्य कक्ष्या शुभा | एकाक्षोऽपि यदक्षमत्रपतितं कक्ष्या तदीया शुभा न्यायः सर्वगहेष्वयं विवरणे प्रोक्तोऽथ सोऽप्युच्यते । ।९९।। Sloka 11 — Planets passing through houses having no bindus are inauspicious for the entire period of the transit, and when passing through houses having 8 bindus the entire period of transit produces good results. When there are 7 bindus and 1 rekha, find out which planet has contributed the rekha. When that planet (whose Ashtakavarga is under consideration) transits this Kakshya. he produces evil effects. --- ## Page 108

Similarly, if there is. only | bindu and 7 rekhas in a bhava, the Kakshya represented by the planet giving the bindu alone is productive of good results when transit of that planet (whose Ashtakavarga is considered) takes place. This is the rule to be followed for all the other bhavas. Another method of consideration given in the Vivarana®™ commentary is mentioned in the succeeding verses. भानोरष्टकवर्गकेऽक्षयुतदत्यंशस्थितेऽके शुभं येषां कारक एष तभ्दवमदो धात्वादिजातं तथा | यश्दावेऽक्षमिदं खगाद्यदधिपो भानोश्च तभ्दावजं योज्यं प्रोक्तवदक्षदातृखगसंबन्ध्युभ्दवं चाखिलम्‌ | ।१२।। Sloka 12 — In the Sun's Ashtakavarga, his transit through a Kakshva (in any bhava) where there is a bindu will produce good effects due to that as follows:- 1. corresponding to the Karakatva (representer) of the , things mentioned for the Sun; 2. corresponding to the Moola (material) type of things in reckoning Dhatu (घातु), Moola (मूल) and Jiva (जीव); according to the bhava position from the planet (in the natal chart) which has donated the bindu; and 4. according to the bhava position from the house occupied by the Sun at birth or according to the bhava occupied (from the Lagna) by the Sun at birth. प्रश्नमार्ग :- (from Krishneeya) चंद्रारोरगसौरैर्घातुरमूलं किलारकें शुक्राभ्याम्‌ । जीवो जीवबुधभ्यो मेषाश्विन्यादि धात्वादि | । Notes : One should consider things of Dhatu nature 1.6. clemen- | tal and primary things such as minerals, metals and other inanimate wealth through the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu. wi The Sun and Venus represent Moola nature of things suich as roots, grains, seeds, trees, etc. --- ## Page 109 74 अष्टकवर्ग: Jupiter and Mercury represent living beings (Jiva) namely human beings, animals, birds, insects, etc. ः Rasis Dhatu Moola Jiva Mesha _ Vrishabha Mithuna Kataka Simha Kanya Tula Vrischika Dhanus ‘Makara Kumbha Meena Nakshatras Dhatu - Moola Jiva Aswini Bharani Krittika Rohini Mrigasiras Ardra Punarvasu Pushya Aslesha, etc., etc, etc. राशेः शून्यगजांशगे दिनपतौ सत्यर्ककश्येशयोः संबन्ध्युत्यमशोभनं च कथयेद्रीत्याखिलं प्रक्तया | इनदराद्यष्टकवर्गकेऽशुभशुभं कक्ष्यादिनाथात्मनोः संयोज्योचितमीरयेदखिलमप्यर्काष्टवर्गोक्तवत्‌ | 193) | Sloka 13 — When the Sun transits a Kakshya having no bindu (in his Ashtakavarga) all sorts of unfavourable things will happen according to (1) the Karakatva of things mentioned for.the Sun; (2) Moola type of things; (3) the bhava position from the planet “which has not donated a bindu in his Kakshya; and (4) the bhava in which the Sun stands from the Lagna. Similary, the good and bad effects due to the transits of theMoon and other planets should be considered from their respective Prastarashtakavargas. सूर्या्ेष्वपि वीर्यवत्सु सबले तत्प्राप्तकक्ष्याधिपे कष्येशात्मगुणोचितं शुभफलं निदेश्यमुत्कर्षवत्‌ | स्वोच्क्षोपचयात्मवन्धुगहगश्चेदर्थदाता ग्रह: पूर्ण तद्वदथाबलेऽन्यगरहगेऽपीषन्निकृष्टं लघु । 1१४ । । Sloka 14 — When considering the Gochara effect of a planet, if the planet and the lord of the Kakshya which he is transiting --- ## Page 110

are both powerful, then the good effects according to the nature of the planet and the Kakshya lord will occur in abundance. If the planet is in his exaltation, in own house, friendly house or in an Upachaya (उपचय) house, the effects will be complete. If the planet concerned is weak and is in debilitation, in inimical house or in an Anupachaya (अनुपचय)) house, the effects will be very little. (This is explained in detail in the next verse by an example). द्रव्यं रूपप्रधानं खलु दिवसकृतः स्पर्शवभ्दानुसूनोः कक्ष्यायां सूर्यसूनोः स्थितवतितरणौ तद्रयोवीर्यवत््वे । सुस्पर्शं दर्शनीयं यदिह तु लभते पट्टवस्रादिकं तद॒- .

When the Sun transits 2 Kakshya ` of Satur in any bhava (having a bindu) and is auspicious, and if the donor (Saturn) and the Sun are both strong silk clothes which - are beautiful in appearance and soft to the touch will be obtained. If both are weak clothes ugly and coarse to the touch like black woollen rugs, etc., will be obtained. In this manner, all things must be taken into consideration in each planet's Ashtakavarga (for transit results).

Persons desirous of having good results should not undertake the above deeds when the Sun transits any bhava containing less bindus. (The bhavas containing 4 bindus give mixed results). Notes : In the Standard Horoscope Simha and Meena bhavas contain 6 bindus each. The transits of the Sun through these two bhavas will be auspicious for meritorious deeds. Tula, Dhanus and Makara bhavas contain 2 hindus each. The solar months represented by these 3 bhavas should be avoided for undertaking the good deeds. qu = ` सूर्याष्टवर्गे यच्छून्यं मासं संवत्सरं प्रति । । विवाहव्यवहारादि मासेऽस्मिन्‌ वर्जयेत्सदा | कलहो मासदुःखानि शून्यमासे भवंति च ।। एवमादि फलं ज्ञात्वा मासं प्रति समाचरेत्‌ । | अक्षाधिकायां दिशि दत्तवासः सेव्यः शिवो भूमिपतिष्च भूत्यै शिवप्रदीपावनिपाश्च gear देवार्चनं तदिशि च स्वगेहे । ।५।। Sloka 5 — Add up the bindus in the bhavas representing the East (Mesha, Simha and Dhanus). Similarly add up bindus for the South,the West and the North. One should worship Shiva or serve the King in the direction which contains the maximum number of bindus out of the four totals. The same direction should be utilised to have Shiva Darsana, to see Arati (auspicious lamp) or for audience with sovereign. Place of worship of deities should be arranged in that direction in one's house. Notes : The cardinal directions according to Sthirachakra in the Stan- dard Horoscope:- (1) Method of Brihat-jataka - The sum of hindus in Mesha triad is 13; in Vrishabha triad 11; in Mithuna triad 10 and in Karka triad 14. --- ## Page 114

The Karka triad contains the maximum number of birdus which repre- sents the North.

If the number of bindus in the first group is the maximum, all auspicious deeds should be undertaken in the first part of the day for good results; if the second group contains the maximum,the middle part of the day should be chosen for success; if the third group has the maximum. the last part of the day will be good. The portion of the day corresponding to the group containing the lowest number of bindus should be avoided for all auspicious work. Notes : By day is meant the period from sunrise to sunset,

1. When the Sun is in a Kendra and even when that is a friendly house, associated with 3, 4 or 5 bindus, the father of the native will meet with death or suffer afflictions in thel 7th vear of the native. ` 2. When the Sun is in the 3thor 9th bhava, the father of the person will be afflicted by misfortune at the age (of the person) represented by the number of bindus in that house in the Samudayashtakavarga. 3. If the Sun is in the 2nd or 5th house associated with 3 bindus and Rahu is in 9th, the person will be bereft of his father in his 5th vear of age. 4. Evil effects to the person, his father, mother or brother have to be predicted when Saturn, the Sun, theMoon or Mars is respectively in the 5th house from the Lagna, at the time of birth. 5. The person will surely lose his father in childhood when the Sun is in the 5th house with 1 or 2 bindus and the birth of the child is in (1) Ist quarter of Moola.

The remainder reckoned from Aswini, gives the asterism which brings about the dealth of the father when Saturn passes through it, or it may happen when Saturn passes through the asterism as reckoned from his radical asterism (the asterism of Saturn at birth). Notes : Some astrologers are of opinion that counting of an asterism should be done from Aswini for a person bom in the bright half. and from Dhanishta for one born in the dark half of the Moon. In the Standard Horoscope the Sun's Shuddhapinda is 204 and the number of bindus in the 9th house from the Sun (before the reductions) 15 4. The product 15 204 x 4= 816. Dividing by 27. the remainder is 6. | 1. Counting from Aswini the 6th asterism is Ardra. 2. +. .. Saturn's asterism(Sravana) the 6th is Revati. --- ## Page 118

Therefore. when Saturn transits any one of the above two asterisms the death of the father may take place. When there is no bindu in the 9th house from the Sun, take the Shuddhapinda figure itself as the product. In case of zero remainder take 27 as the remainder, These two rules hold good in all cases of multiplications and remainders for the Ashtakavarga calculations. पराशर :- अदित्याष्ट कवर्गे च निक्षिप्याकाशचारिषु | अर्कस्थितेस्य नवमो राशि: पितृगृहं स्मृत्तमु । । तद्राशिफलसंख्याभिर्वद्धये्ोगपिण्डकम्‌ | सप्तविंशोद्धूतं शेषं नक्षत्रं याति भानुज: । तस्मिन्‌ काले तस्य तस्य भवेस्या्तिं विनिर्दिशेत्‌ । तस्मिन्‌ काले पितुक्लेशो भवतीति न संशयः । । तत्त्रिकोणगते वापि पिता पितुस्मोऽपि वा। मरणं तस्य जानीयादशा छिद्रेषु कल्पयेत्‌ । + शिष्टानीह फलानि यानि भमये चक्रे परं शोधनात्‌ संयोज्याखिलमेतदकंनवमे शिष्टैः फलैस्ताडितम्‌। शिष्टं चेन्नवमेन केवलमिदं हृत्वा सुरैः शिष्टभे दख्रादे चरति प्रभाकरसुते वा तातमृत्युर्भवेतु । 1१५ 1 | Sloka 15 — Add up the bindus in the Sun's Ashtakavarga that remain after the two reductions (शोध्यावशिष्ट), but before the multiplications. Multiply this total by: the number of bindus that remain after the reductionsin the 9th house from the Sun and divide the product by 27. If there are no indus 7 that house. then no multiplication is necessary: take the sum of bindus as it is, for division. The remainder counted from Aswini shows the asterism which when transited by Saturn may bring about the death of the father. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope the sum of the bindus after the two reductions (Shodhyvavashista ) is 16 and there are 2 bindys in the 9th house from the Sun (after the reductions). The product is 32. Dividing by 27. the remainder is 5. --- ## Page 119 84 अष्टकवर्ग: Counting from Aswini the 5th asterism is Mrigasiras and Satum's transit through it may bring about the dealth of the father of the native. एवं सूर्याष्टवर्गेण पितृमृत्यौ शनिस्थितिः | प्रोक्ता तेनैव कथ्येतेऽथ जीवार्कयोः स्थिती 1 1१६ । | Sloka 16 — So far, the method of finding out the asterism in relation to the Sun's Ashtakavarga for deciding thc time which may bring about the death of the father of the native during Saturn's transit of that asterism, has been explained. It is, however, necessary to find out the simultaneous positions of the .Sun and Jupiter. “Notes : In the previous verses it has been explained how the transit of Saturn through a particular asterism may bring about the death of the native's father. If this was the only condition it will be found that in almost all cases a native will lose his father before the age of 30. This is not, however.true as one comes across several cases where the father of a native lives much longer. In fact the last line of the above verse itself suggests that there are other conditions which have to be satisfied to determine the time of the death of the father. These are the simultaneous transits “of the Sun and Jupiter (See the following stanza). If these additional conditions are not satisfied and Saturn alone-is transiting that asterism, it should be inferred that the father or a similar elderly paternal relative of the native will suffer from severe sickness or some quarrels with the father or the like will take place. : The above principle should invariably be borne in mind inall cases while predicting the demise of the other relatives of the native from the Ashtakavargas of the planets concerned according to their Karakatva. अर्कस्वैवाष्टवर्ग रविगुणनिचयं जीवकामस्थिताक्षै- भानोरस्तस्थितैरवा पथगपि निहतं भाजयेदे च सारैः | शिष्टं यद्रोभयत्र दयमपि गणयेदखरतोऽत्रागतर्् ` स्वस्वास्ताक्षक्रियाप्ते धिषणदिनकृतोस्तातहा चारकातः । ।१७ | । --- ## Page 120

Sloka 17 — Multiply the Shuddhapinda of the Sun by the number of bindus (before the reductions) in the 7th house from the" position of Jupiter in the Sun's Ashtakavarga, and divide the product by 27. The remainder reckoned from Aswini is the asterism which when transited by Jupiter brings about the death of the father. Similarly, multiply the Shuddhapinda of the Sun by the number of bindus in the 7th house from the Sun (bcforc the redcutions), and divide the product by 27. ‘Remainder is the asterism from Aswini through which the Sun passes at the time of the father's death. | Notes : In the Standard Horoscope the 7th house from Jupiter has 5 bindus in the Sun's Ashtakavarga. The product 13 204 x 5 = 1020. Dividing by 27, the remainder is 21 which when counted from Aswini gives Uttarshadha for Jupiter's transit. The 7th house from the Sun has 6 bindus. The product is. 1224 which when divided by 27 gives 9 as the remainder. Counting from Aswini, Aslesha is the asterism. So at the time when Saturn passes through the asterism calculated previously, Jupiter should transit Uttarashadha and the Sun Aslesha to bring about the dealth of the father. सूर्यस्यैवाष्ट वर्गेण स्वमूतौ मास उच्यते | तथेन्दोर्मात्िमरणे मन्दश्चार्यदिवाकरौ । ।१८ । । Sloka 18 — The month when one's own death may happen can be found out from the Sun's Ashtakavarga. Similarly, the posi- ' tions of Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun calculated from the Moon's Ashtakavarga will determine the time of the death of the native's mother. तीक्ष्णांशो: शोध्यपिण्डे रविनिधनफतैर्वर्द्धयित्वा प्रियाप्ते । शिष्ट संगण्य मेषाद्यदिह भवति भं तद्रतेऽके स्वसृत्यु: । 1१९ । । Sloka 19 — Multiply by Shodhyapinda of the Sun by the number of bindus (before the reductions) in the 8th honse from the Sun and divide the product by 12. The remainder reckoned from Mesha shows the rasi (bhava) which when transited by the Sun brings about one's own death. --- ## Page 121 86 अष्टकवर्भः Notes: In the Standard Horoscope the 8th house from the Sun has 5 bindus. The product is 204 x 5 = 1020. Dividing by 12, the । remainder is 0, therefore 12 is the remainder. Counting from the Mesha house the 12th is the Meena house. When the Sun transits this-house, the death of the native may take place. पराशर :- संशोध्य पिण्डं सूर्यस्य रन्ध्रमानेन वर्धयेत्‌ । द्रादशादिहृताच्छेषं मेषादि गणयेत्पुन: | तस्मिन्मासे मृतिं विद्यात्त्त्रिकोणगतेऽपि वा| । सूयीदि कल्पयेत्त्वन्ये परतो भास्करे मृतिः। फलदीपिका :- संशोध्य पिण्डं सूर्यस्य रन्ध्मानेन वर्द्धयेत्‌ । द्वादशेन हृतच्छेषराशिं याते दिवाकरे । । तत्त्रिकोणगते वाऽपि मरणं तत्र निर्दिशेत्‌ । एवं ग्रहाणां सर्वेषां चिन्तयेन्मतिमान्नरः । । Notes : Both Parasara and Mantresvara imply by रन्प्रमनि the bindus in the 8th house from the Lagna and add further that the trine positions of the rasi as calculated, also should be taken into account for the father's death. --- ## Page 122

. Sloka 4 — When the Moon transits a bhava containing the highest number of bindus in her Ashtakavarga, tonsure and other similar ceremonies pertaining to the native should be performed. - All desired work should be commenced at this time (for success). One's prosperity is increased through persons such as wife (husband), king, attendant, servant, pupil, preceptor or friend, born in a rasi (represented by a bhava) which contains the full (the maximum) number of bindus in the Moon's Ashtakavarga of the native. फलदीपिका :- यावन्त्यस्तुहिनरुचे: शुभांकसंस्था यावत्तच्छुभभवने हिमयुतेवा । इत्थं तद्विदितमिहाधिके चतुर्मि: स्वस्त्यूने विपदिति सूचितं परेषाम्‌ । । पुर्णाक्षर्षेन्दुजातानां प्रातर्दर्शनमुत्तमम्‌ | तेभ्यो वख्रादिदानं च भवेन्नूनं समृद्धये । 1५ 11 Sloka 5 — It is very auspicious for the native to visit or have first sight of persons bom with the Moon in a bhava containing the maximum (8) binds in the Moon's Ashtakavarga.

When the Moon is in a Kendra or the 12th house associated with 1 to 3 hindus only, and malefics are in the 4th house, the native will lose his mother in his 6th vear. ६८७9 4. When the Moon is in the Lagna associated with | or 2 bindus only, there is danger for the person and possibility of the death of the mother. If, in addition,malefic planets are in the 4th house from the Moon (i.e., the Lagna) the mother dies in his 36th vear of life. ०4 In the Ashtakavarga of the Moon, if there are 1,2 or 3 binus (after the reductions) in the Lagna with the Moon in it, the person meets with an injury’ bv weapons or poisons. or there is a possibility of the death of his mother. 6. After the reduction, if the Moon (in whichever bhava she may be) has उ or more hindus, then that bhava prospers during the Dasa of the lord of that bhava. 7. The number of brothers and sisters of the mother can be ascertained from the number of bindus in the 4th house from the Moon. Bindus donated bv male planets indicate brothers and the rest sisters शीतांशोस्तच्चतुर्थस्थितफलनिहते शोध्यपिण्डे सुखाप्ते । दन्रात्संगण्यं शेषं यदुडु तदितवेत्यकंजे मात॒नाशः । ।२१।। Sloka 21 - Multiply the Moon's Shodhyapinda by the number of bindus in the 4th house(before the reductions) from the Moon and divide the product bv 27. The remainder reckoned from Aswini shows the asterism which when transitted bv Saturn, brings about the death of the mother. Notes: In the Standard Horoscope the Moon's Shodhvapinda 94 x 4 (bindus in the 4th house from the Moon before the reductions) gives product 376. Dividing by 27. the remainder is 25 which:- 1. counted from Aswini gives Purvabhadrapada: 2. नि षि Saturn's asterism (Sravana) gives Moola.

In a similar way calculations should be made in respect of the Moon's Ashtakavarga for the positions of Jupiter and the Sun to ascertain the time of the mother's death. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope to find Jupiter's position : Multiply 94 by 7 (bindus in the 7th house from Jupiter) = 638 divided by 27 gives remainder 10 which counted from Aswini gives Magha. ः To find the Sun's position 94 x 5 (hindus in the 7th house from the Sun) = 470 divided by 27 gives remainder 11 which counted from Aswini gives Purvaphalguni.

Multiply the number of bindus in the Chandra Lagna by the number of bindus in the 8th house from her position and divide the product by 12. The remainder shows the ‘solar month {counted from Mesha) of the mohter's death. ` । In the Standard Horoscope bindus in the Chandra Lagna 3 x 3 (bindus in the 8th house from the Moon) = 9; dividing by 12, remainder is 9. The mother's death may take place during the solar month represented by the Dhanus house. पराशर :- ॥ चन्द्रात्सुखफलात्पिण्डं वर्धपेच्छोध्य पूर्ववत्‌ | | Fuel च गनौ यति मातृहानिं विनिर्दिशित्‌ । तत्त्रिकोणेषु वा केचिदशाचिद्रेषु कल्पयेत्‌ | फलदीपिका :- | चन्द्रात्सुखफतै: पिण्डं हत्वा सारावंशेषितम्‌ | ` शनौ याते मातृहानिः त्रिकोणर्षगतेऽपि वा । । --- ## Page 131 CHAPTER VIII ASHTAKAVARGA OF MARS भौमस्यार्थमहीसपलविजयाः सो थॉत्थितत्संपदों* राज्ञोवल्लभता प्रसन्नगुणता साम्यं विपत्संपदो: | भ्रातृ्लविरहः प्रियार्थकलहः* शख्राग्निपित्तज्वर- स्फोरैर्टूषित्तदेहता जठरंरुड.मूर्छाक्षिरुड.मुत्यव: । ।१। । Sloka 1 — When Mars in his Ashtakavarga transits bhavas containing 8 to 0 bindus the results are as follows:- 8 bindus gain of wealth and lands: victory over enemies; - wealth from brothers and also to them: u a King's (master's) favourite: षि pleasing behaviour: pleasure and pain mixed and equal: - separation from brothers and wife; = quarrel on account of coveted things and money: 1 bindu bodily afflictions by weapons (operation), fire, fever or smallpox: 0 bindu stomach-ache, eve disease. faints and death.

The enemies can be easily subdued, if the attack is made in the direction denoted by the rasi having the highest number of bindus, and at atime when it is rising. Mars' transit over a bhava void of or having very few bindus and the direction indicated by it, will be unfavourable (for the above functions).

If after Ekadhipatyashodhana a bhava has less bindus, loss of lands, etc., will take place in the direction denoted by the bhave (251); but wherever there are more bindus, good effects (from the above things) are obtained,so says Devashala. Even though Mars is not powerful still, if he is associated with more bindus in his Ashtakavarga he bestows longevity on brothers (sisters) but the same Mars with less bindus causes gradual loss of lands, etc. होरासार :- भौमाष्टवर्गे संचिन्त्या भ्रातूरसंपत्तैव च । भौमो बलविहीनशवेद्‌' धीप्रयासान्वितो भवेत्‌।

1. When Mars associated with more than 4 binds, is in his exaltation or in his own house and that rasi becomes the Lagna, Chandra Lagna, 10th or 9th house, the person bom eams immense wealth. 2. Mars as the lord of the 2nd house posited in thé 6th house with 6 bindus will create, many enemies to the person but he will be having all the enjovments of life, even from his birth. (This can happen only in Tula and Meena Lagnas). 3. If Mars. as the lord of the Lagna and the 8th house, is in the Lagna, Chandra Lagna, 10th or 9th house, associated with 1 to 3 bindus and is in conjunction with lower class planets, or planets in debilitation. the person born will be an adopted son. (This happéns only in Mesha Lagna). 4, When Mars with 6 bindus is debilitated or in combust in --- ## Page 136 ASHTAKAVARGA 101 the 6th, 8th or 12th house, associated with waxing Moon or is in a Kendra, the person, will be without brothers. 5. If Mars is strong, one becomes a village chief. Mars with 4 bindus in the Lagna, 5th house or Kendra makes a person brotherless. . 6. Mars or Saturn in the 3rd house (from the Lagna) with I to 3 bindus in Mars' Ashtakavarga causes loss of brothers. When Saturn and Mars are in conjunction with 1 to 3 bindus there is loss .of brothers as well. 7. There will be brothers if Mars is in the 3rd house associated with 4 or more bindus with an aspect from a benefic. 8. The mutual malefic aspect between the lords of the 7th and 4th houses also causes loss of brothers. 9. In Mars' Ashtakavarga the following effects are noticed according as the Lagna is Chara (movable), Sthira (fixed) or Ubhava (common) rasi:- (a) the Lagna a Chara rast and Saturn in anUbhava rasi with 1 to 3 bindus indicate loss of brothers and sisters; 0) the Lagna an Ubhaya rasi and Saturn in a Chara rasi with 1 to 3 bindus indicarte loss of brothers; (c) the Lagna a Sthira rasi and Mars or Saturn anvwhere with 1 to3 bindus indicate loss of the father and brothers: (d) the Lagna a Chara rasi and Saturn anywhere with 3 or more bindus will make the native rich and will bestow many brothers: (€) the Lagna a Sthira rasi and Saturn in a Ubhaya rais in the 5th liouse with 4 or more bindus will make the native longlived, rich and comfortable: and will bestow many brothers. --- ## Page 137 102 अष्टकवर्गः 10. When Mars, in conjunction with the lord ण the 7th house, is in debilitation or in combust or has association or aspect from malefics,there will be loss of brothers 11. Mars in the 8th house from Saturn, or Saturn in the 8th house from Mars, with 1 to 3 bindus, indicates loss of brothers (thisis quincunx aspect); much more so, if the 3rd house from the Lagna also is occupied by malefics. 12. There will be as many brothers as there are bindus in the house where Mars is situated, or in his trine houses, when anyone of these is aspected by a benefic. (This is another way to find the number of brothers). 13. The number of brothers will be equal to:- (a) the number of Navamsas pased over (गतनवांश) by Mars when he is in the 3rd house associated with 3 bindus; (b) the number of bindus in the house occupied by Mars;and (€) the number of bindus that remain in. the 3rd house from the Lagna after Trikonashodhana. (This figure represents the number of brothers alive). 14. If Mars with 4 hindus is in mutual aspect or is in conjunction with Saturn, the person will be the head of many States or a dispenser of justice provided Mars is not in debilitation or combust. 15. If Mars with 1 to 3 binds, is in any house in conjuction with or aspected by Mercury, the person born will be poor and suffering privations, sorrow,etc. 16. If Mars with more than 4 binds is in any bhava with the Moon is aspcted by her, the person will be the head of many States. 17. When Mars as the lord of the 4th house, occupies his own house associated with 4 hindus, a person bom in a roval --- ## Page 138 ASHTAKAVARGA 103 family will own 3 to 4 fortresses. If the said Mars is in the 10th house, he will be a King or dispenser of justice. If the person is a Brahmin, he will be conducting and performing many sacrifices (Yagnas). If a Vaisva, he will amass wealth by agriculture and trade. If a Sudra, he will be a Commander in army, or will have high position in life. (This can happen only for Simha and Makara Lagnas) 18. Multiply the number of bindus in the 3rd house from Mars by the number of bindus in the 8th house therefrom and divide the produet by 12. The remainder reckoned from Mesha represents the solar month for afflictions to brothers. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope multiply | (the number of bindus in the 3rd house from Mars) by 2 (the number of bindus in the 8th house from that, i.e., 12th house from the Lagna). The product 2, divided by 12 leaves remainder 2.

153 x 2 (bindus in the 7th house from Jupiter in Mars’ Ashtakavarga) = 306 divided by 27, gives remainder 9 which gives Aslesha and its trines for Jupiter's transit. In the Ashtakavargas of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, it is appropriate to consider the asterism along with its trines also, since it is possible to have more than one relation represented by those Karaka planets. भौमभ्रातुफलाहतस्य गुणपिण्डेऽर्काहते राशयः शिष्यन्तेऽजमुखास्तदन्त्यभमिह ज्ञेयं दशास्येशितुः। यद्रास्यापहृतिर्यदात्र सहभूजन्मानुभूत्यादिकं तस्मिन्भऽगिरसश्च चारसमयः सोत्थानुभूतिप्रदः । 1१६ । । Sloka 16 — Multiply the Shodhyapinda of Mars by the number of bindus in the 3rd house from him (before the reductions) and divide the product by 12. The remainder reck- oned from Mesha house shows the house which when transited by Jupiter brings much benefit through brothers. Again the Dasa and Antara of the lord of that rasi shows the time when brothers are bom and also when benefits from brothers can be expected. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope Mars' Shodhyapinda 153 x 1 (bindu in the 3rd house from Mars before the reductions) = 153 divided by 12, leaves remainder 9 which represents the Dhanus house. Jupiter's transit through that house and the Dasa and Antara of the lord thereof, i.e.. Jupiter, will bring about the aforesaid results. --- ## Page 140

If there are 5 or 6 bindus, his speech will be commend- able by “virtuous persons and fitting to the occasion; with 7 bindus he will be a scholar capable of composing poems and dramas. यस्याष्ट-क तस्य भारत्या न च कोऽप्यत्तरं वदेत्‌ | स्वकार्योक्त्यसमर्थोऽत्र शून्ये लग्नादद्ितीयभे । le | | 9044 7 — When the number of hindus is 8, nobody will be capable enough to answer the questions put by him in debate or oppose him. When the 2nd bhava from the Lagna ( in Mercury's Ashtakavarga) is void of bindus, the person will be incapable of expressing even his own intentions properly. Notes : As stated in the first line of the verse, the 2nd house from Mercury cannot contain है dindus because he does not contribute a bindu in that honse. Hence, the 2nd house from the Lagna may be considered as it may contain 8 hindus. The 2nd house from the Lagna will have at least | bindu contributed by the Lagna (2nd line of the verse). Therefore, the expression * शून्ये लग्नाद्‌ द्वितीयमेः may be construed to mean that there should be no bindu contributed by any donor other than the Lagan.

If the bindu is contributed by the Sun, the speech is in the form of wisc counsel, while Saturn's bindu makes it vile (i.e., improper or unsuitable to the occasion), and that of Mars causes discord. Notes : Even the wise counsel will be of an imposing nature. मनोहरत्वादियुता बुधस्य गुरोः स्फुटा वामपि युक्तियुक्ता | पुरणकाव्यार्थवती प्रमोदयुक्ता भुगो्व्याजवती शनेः स्यात्‌ । 1९ । । Sloka 9 - The person's speech is sweet if the bindu (in the 2nd house) is donated by.

Hence the question how to explain Sunya (voidness of bindu) may arise. A reasonable answer to this is that there is no bindu contributed by thc other planets or the Lagna in the said house. संशोध्याष्टकवर्गमैन्दुतनयं शून्यालयस्थे शनौ नाशो बंधुजनस्य सोदरतनूजाद्यस्य निर्दिश्यताम्‌ | मन्दोऽयं यदि जन्मतसखिरिपुलाभस्थोऽतिदोषायनो । शून्ये यत्र यदा चरेच्छनिरसौ भावश्च नश्येत्तदा । 1९३ | अष्टमे वाऽथ रिःफे वा शून्ये मन्दो यदा चरेत्‌ । आत्मनस्तु तदा व्यधिर्मरणं वा विचिन्त्यताम्‌ 1१४ । । Slokas 13,14 - When Saturn transits a bhava which has no bindu (after the reductions) in Mercury's Ashtakavarga, misfortune or death of the brothers and children of the native's kinsmen may happen. But, if the said bhava happens to be 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th (Upachaya) house from the Moon, the bad effect is very much mitigated. The effects of any other bhava (void of bindus) are nullified shen Saturn transits it. If the said house happens to be the 8th or 12th from the Moon, then during Saturn's transit over it, the person suffers bodily ailments or even meets with death.

A reasonable answer to this is that there is no bindu contributed by thc other planets or the Lagna in the said house. संशोध्याष्टकवर्गमैन्दुतनयं शून्यालयस्थे शनौ नाशो बंधुजनस्य सोदरतनूजाद्यस्य निर्दिश्यताम्‌ | मन्दोऽयं यदि जन्मतसखिरिपुलाभस्थोऽतिदोषायनो । शून्ये यत्र यदा चरेच्छनिरसौ भावश्च नश्येत्तदा । 1९३ | अष्टमे वाऽथ रिःफे वा शून्ये मन्दो यदा चरेत्‌ । आत्मनस्तु तदा व्यधिर्मरणं वा विचिन्त्यताम्‌ 1१४ । । Slokas 13,14 - When Saturn transits a bhava which has no bindu (after the reductions) in Mercury's Ashtakavarga, misfortune or death of the brothers and children of the native's kinsmen may happen. But, if the said bhava happens to be 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th (Upachaya) house from the Moon, the bad effect is very much mitigated. The effects of any other bhava (void of bindus) are nullified shen Saturn transits it. If the said house happens to be the 8th or 12th from the Moon, then during Saturn's transit over it, the person suffers bodily ailments or even meets with death.

विद्याभ्यासः फलत्येव विवादे तु भवेज्जयः । ।१५ । । Sloka 15 - The commencement of any Vidva (new study) will be successful and also one will succeed in literary and legal debates when Mercury passes through bhavas containing many bindus. विन्द्राधिक्यं यत्तदागारमासे विद्यारम्भः सर्वविद्याकरः स्यात्‌ । गोचारेण ज्ञस्य शून्यालयस्थे मन्दे बन्धज्ञातिसंपद्िनाशः | 195 । | --- ## Page 145 ` 110 । अष्टकवर्ग Sloka 16 - Commencement of any Vidya will be a complete success, if it is during the solar month corresponding to the bhava containing the highest number of bindus in Mercury's Ashtakavarga. When Satur transits a bhava having no bindu, loss of some relation, kinsman or wealth will take place. निक्षिप्याष्टकवेर्भमिन्दुतनयस्याक्षाधिकायां दिशि स्याद्विद्याभ्यसनं फलाय न चिरात्‌ कार्य च तस्यां दिशि। क्रीडामन्दिरमंबृजाक्षयुवराजाराघनाद्यं तथा कार्य च व्यवहारकर्म परिपुणक्षिषु वा राशिषु । ।१७।। Sloka 17 - The cardinal direction represented by a bhava having many (maximum) bindus in Mercury's Ashtakavarga, should be the place for quick success in education. Location of the playground, place of worship of God Vishnu and service to ` Yuvaraja should be in that direction. A person who argues the ` case (in the Court) standing in that direction, or at a time when that rasi (bhava) is rising, is sure to succeed in litigation. = Notes : In the Stand:rd Horoscope the cardinal direction is the South according to both the methods. केन्द्रत्रिकोणे वसुबिन्दुके ज्ञे जातीयविद्याधिकभोगशाली । - स्वोच्वदिकैकद्वितयत्रिबिन्दौ तभ्दाववुद्धिर्म च भावहानिः । 1१८ । । Sloka 18 - One, born with Mercury in a Kendra or Trikona associated with 8 bindus, becomes conspicuous in learning pertaining to his caste and enjoys many comforts. Mercury in his exaltation,own house, etc., even associated with 1, 2 or 3 bindus, “does not impair but advance that bhava. Notes : In the above case if Mercury (with 1 to 3 bindus) is debilitated or in inimical house. the. effects of the said bhava are nullified.

When Mercury is in the 6th, 8th or 12th bhava, associated with 1 to 3 bindus and has no aspect from a benefic planet, the person bom will be a gambler and meanminded. --- ## Page 146 ASHTAKAVARGA 111 If Mercury associated with 3 bindus and in conjunction with Venus is in the 6th, 8th or 12th bhava, the person bom will , be illiterate and a poor If Mercury associated with 5 or more bindus is in Trikona in conjunction or having aspect from Saturn or Jupiter, the person bom will be well versed in the Vedas (Satum and Jupiter are planets of philosophy). If Mercury is in the 6th house from Satum and is associated with 5 bindus and Jupiter is in the 2nd house from the Lagna, the person bom will become an eminent astrologer. (a) If Mercury associated with 5 bindus is in conjunction’ with Jupiter and Mars; or (b) if Mercury (with 5 bindus) in conjunction with Jupiter, aspects Mars the person born becomes a good logician (in whichever bhava Mercury may be) In Mercury's Ashtakavarga if the 5th house from the Lagna has 1 to 3 bindus with Ketu in that house, or if Ketu in conjuction with the Jord of the 5th is in any bhava, the person born will be proficient in astrology. (In all its branches Phala, Ganita, etc.) Notes : In the Standard Horoscope the Sth house from the Lagna contains 2 hindus. Ketu and Venus (Lord of the 5th house) occupy it. 1. 8. 10. If Mercury has Navamsa in his own house, the native will be proficient in sculpture, poetry, Vedanta and fine Arts. If Mercury is associated with Satum, Venus and the Moon, the person bom will be proficient in dance, music and Jugglery. If Mercury, associated with more than 4 bindus, is in the house of Mars or in the Navamsa of Venus and is aspected by Jupiter, the person bom becomes a great poet and dramatist If Mercury, having debilitation in Navamsa and association with malefics (conjunction or aspect), is in any bhava with more than 4 bindus, the person born will be proficient in dance, music and mimicry. --- ## Page 147 112 अष्टकवर्गः 11. Mercury with 1 to 3 bindus in any bhava but having Navamsa in a female sign,will destroy the effects of that bhava. 12. If the lord of the house where Mercury is situated is associated with more than 4 bindus in Mercury's Ashtakavarga, and is 7 a Kendra or Trikona (from the Lagna) "aspected by a benefic, the person born will have learning, fame and intelligence. 13. When the lord of the bhava occupied by Mercury is in the 6th, 8th or 12th bhava from the Lagna, there will be many obstacles in education. Even if that lord be in his own house, or in his exaltation with 1 to 3 bindus only (in Mercury's Ashtakavarga), the effects of the bhava occupied by Mercury do not prosper. 14. Even though Mercury is in debilitation or combust or in inimical house, still, he is a beneficiary if associated with 4 or more bindus. He confers the effects of the bhava occupied. 15. In Mercury's Ashtakavarga note the rasis having more than 4 bindus. Qut of these, find out the rasi which has an aspect from a benefic. The period of Mercury's transit through this rasi (bhava), is the most auspicious one to start education so that even a person of weak intellect becomes very profi- cient. 16. Multiply the Shodhyapinda of Mercury by the number of bindus (before the reductions) in the 10th house from him and divide the product by 27. When Saturn passes through the asterism represented by the remainder counted from Aswini, there will be loss in trade, business (or some troubles in service). Notes : In the Standard Horoscope Mercun's Shodhvapinda 170 x 4 (bindus in the 10th house from him before the reductions) = 680 divided by 27. gives remainder 5; Mrigasiras which when transitted by Saturn brings about loss in trade. busines, etc. --- ## Page 148 ASHTAKAVARGA 113 स्वार्थस्थिताक्षनिहते बुधशुद्धपिण्डे | रम्याहूतेऽजमुखराशय एवं शिष्टाः। तेष्वन्त्यभाधिपदशा च तथापहारो विद्यागमाय धिषणस्य च तत्र चारः } 1१९ । । दौत्यादीनां बुधो येषा क्रारकः परिकीर्तितः | सिद्धिस्तेषां च सर्वेषा तत्रानेहसि कथ्यताम्‌ । ।२०।। Sloka 19, 20 - Multiply the Shodhvapinda of Mercury by the number of bindus (before the reductions) in the 2nd house from him; divide the product by 12 and get the remainder.

Satum is in sign Makara and there are two bindus in Jupiter's Ashtakavarga in that sign. The order of the donors is Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, Venmus, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury and the Lagna. The 2 bindus referred to above are donated by Jupiter and Mercury, After the reductions there remains no bindu.

The number of bindus in Kanya is -4 and after the reductions there remain 2 bindus (contributed by Mercury and the Lagna). Mercury being in an even sign and also in his exaltation sign, contributes three daughters. Venus being in an odd sign and in her own house contributes two sons. The lord of the5th house from the Lagna, Venus is in sign Tula. There are 4 bindus before the reductions in that sign but there is no bindu after the reductions. The lord of the 3th house from the Moon is Saturn.

When the planet is in the first Drekana, take into consideration only the degrees and minutes and not the sign. Convert them into minutes. Multiply these minutes by 135 (मालोक) and divide the product by 1800 (ननुजय). Take the quotient. Eliminate one Pada (quarter) of the Nakshatra for each unit of 5 of the quotient. When the remainder is less than 5, multiply it by 3 to get the Ghatikas past in that Pada. If the planet is in the second Drekana, subtract the sign and 10%nd if the third Drekana, subtract the sign and 20° and take the remainder. Repeat the above operation. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope it is found from Jupiter's Ashtakavarga that Mars is one of the donors of the bindus. His position is 45-7°-1' and therefore, is in the 1st Drekana of Simha and is in Mithuna Navamsa. He is stronger in rasi. Therefore, when the Moon transits Simha rasi, birth of a child may be expected.

Leaming of music, performance of marraiges, acts leading to sexual enjoyments should be commenced during that time for prosperity; further, that would be the best period to purchase apparel of silk and the like. ये शुक्राष्टकवर्गके बहुफलाश्चक्रे स्थिरे राशयः प्राक्पश्चादपि शोधनात्‌ परिणयस्ताभ्यो दिशाभ्यः शुभः। --- ## Page 176 ASHTAKAVARGA ` 141 स्वीये वेश्मनि मन्दिरे च शयनं पुर्णाक्षदिक्स्ये शुभं दृश्यः स्यात्सचिवः फलाधिकहरित्तस्यां च पाणिग्रहः । ।५ ।। Sloka 5 — 11 the Ashtakavarga of Venus, find out the cardinal direction according to Sthirachakra represented by the maximum number of bindus, before and after the reductions. Marriage in that direction brings propsperity. To have the bedroom in the direction denoted by the rasi (bhava) containing the maximum number of bindus before the reductions, in one's own house, is good for conjugal happiness ; it is good to see a minister and to , get the marriage ceremony performed in that direction also. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope Kataka and Simha both contain 6 bindus each. The direction represented is the South. - After the reductions Kataka contains 5 bindus which also represents the South. पराशर :- भृगोरण्ट कर्वर्गे च निक्षिप्याकाशचारिषु । - त्रिकोणशोधनं कृत्वा पष्चादेकाधिपत्यताम्‌ | | येषु येषु फलानि स्पुर्भूयांसि किल तत्र तु। भूमिं कलत्रं वित्तं च तदेशे निर्दिशेन्नृणाम्‌ । । । प्रश्नमार्ग :- शुक्रष्टरव्गे संशुद्धे भूचक्रे येषु राशिषु । अक्षाणि तदिगुभ्टूताप्यक्षाधिक्यवशच्छभा | | शुक्रात्सप्तमभाग्यपौ हिमकराल्लगनाच्च भाग्याधिपौ एतैराधितभेषु शोधनविधौ शिष्टाक्षसंस्याः fa) यद्वाऽस्तेश्वरतुगनीचभविशुद्धाकषर्विवाहः सम संख्याऽल्पास्तु मदेश्वरेऽतिविबले वीर्यान्विते भूयसी । ।६।। Sloka 6 — The number of wives will be according to the number of bindus that remain after the reductions in the following houses :- 1. the house occupied by the lord of the 7th from Venus . 2. the house occupied by the lord of the 9th from Venus ; 3. the house occupied by the lord of the 9th from the Moon ; --- ## Page 177 142 अष्टकवर्गः 4. the house occupied by the lord of the Sth from the Lagna ; 5. the exaltation rasi of the lord ofthe 7th from the Lagna ; and 6. the debilitation rasi of the lord of the 7th from the Lagna. Out of these six, that which gives the maximum number should be taken when the lord of the 7th house from the Lagna is powerful and well-placed; the minimum number when the 7th lord is weak. पराशर -:- भृगुदारेशयुक्तर्ष फलसंख्याल्रियो विदुः क्षेत्रसरीग्रहणे साम्यं नृपंस्य द्विगुणं तथा 1 । शुक्राज्जामित्रतो लब्धिदरिशान्वितदिग्भवा | दाराधिषस्थितं क्षेत्र दाराजन्मर्क्कं विदुः 1 । तस्योच्चनीचराशौ वां केचदिच्छन्ति तद्विदः । तस्यांशकत्रिकोणे वा भार्याया जन्म संभवेत्‌ | लग्नेन्द्रोभग्यिभं जन्म वदन्ति मुनिसत्तमाः | उक्तप्रकारभार्गेण भार्याया जन्मलग्नभम्‌ | | तयोः समागमे च कल्पयेत्तत्र बुद्धिमान्‌ । स्वक्षेत्रस्वोच्चगे वापि स्वमित्रक्षगतोऽपि वा।। स्वमित्रांशगतो वापि वक्तव्यं दारलक्षणम्‌ | शुक्रजामित्रतो लब्धिल्ञिकोणदेशदिक्‌ ख़िय: । । ्रोक्तराशिर्णदा दारा "जन्मर्क्षं संततिस्तदा। अनुक्तराशिर्जन्मर्षमस्ति चेन्नास्ति संततिः । । शुक्राष्टवर्गे AYN पापाक्षवहुते सति। त्रिकोणाश्रितमान्द्री च भार्यानाशो भवेन्नृणाम्‌ । ।७।। Sloka 7 — When the 7th house from Venus in her Ashtakavarga has more bindus contributed by malefics and if Gulika is in the 3rd or 11th house from Venus, death of wife may happen.

If the bindu is that of the Moon and the Janma asterism is in Rohini triad, she will be very pleasing to his mind. If that of Mars and the Janma asterism is in Mnigasiras triad, she will be very helpful to the husband in doing good deeds The same effect is obtained in respect of Ketu for Aswini triad (कुजवत्केतो) If that of Mercury and the Janma asterism is in Aslesha triad, she will be obedient and agreeable to the husband's commands. If that of Jupiter and the Janma asterism is in Punarvasu triad, she will be blessed with virtuous children. If that of Venus and the Janma asterism is in Bharani triad, she will be capable of given conjugal happiness to the husband If that of Saturn and the Janmaasterism is in Pushya triad, she will be always ready to serve her husband like a slave. Similar effects are evident for Rahu in respect of Ardra triad (शनिवत्राहो) Notes : It is impossible to have a bindu of Venus in the 7th house from her. Still the author has mentioned " पत्युः कामसुखप्रदाननिपुणा" for the effect of Venus. Therefore, it is proper to consider the7th house from the Lagna where a bindu from Venus may be possible and the wife can be born in Bharani triad. Hence the Lagna's 7th house also should be considered in the case of bindus of other planets. The lordship of asterisms is as followed in the Vimshottari Dasa system. --- ## Page 179 144 अष्टकवर्ग इन्दोरष्टकवर्गकेऽक्षबहुलं व्यूहाष्टवर्ग तथा | भार्याजन्मशुभं सिताष्टकगणेऽप्यस्यास्तनाथाक्षयुक्‌ । ।९ ।। Sloka 9 — A wife having her Moon in (a) a house which has the maximum number of dindus in the Moon's Ashtakavarga of the husband: or (b) a house which has the maximum number of bindus in the husband's Samudayashtakavarga ; or (0) a house which has a bindu contributed by the lord of the 7th house from Venus 1 the husband's Ashtakavarga of Venus; is very auspicious for thc welfare of the husband. Notes : Similarly, the wife's horoscope should be considered for the husband. In the Standard Horoscope Mars the lord of the 7th house from Venus, contributes a bindu in Tula, the wife's Janmarasi. बहक्षाश्च ससौम्यलग्नमदपाः शुक्राष्टवर्ग गहाः । ये चैषां च दिगुभ्दवा हि शुभदा कन्या विवाहे नृणाम्‌ । ।१०।। Sloka 10 — Out of the houses which contain more hindus in the Ashtakavarga of Venus, any one occupied by :- (a) a benefic ; (b) the lord of the Lagna ; or (c) the lord of the 7th house, indicates the direction of the bride's place for a happy married life साष्टविन्दुफलकोणकेन्द्रगे भार्गवे तु बलवाहनाधिपः। आयुरन्तमविनाशभो गवान्‌ वित्तरत्नविभुरद्रिबिन्दुके । ।११।। Sloka 11 — When Venus associated with 8 indus is posited in a Trikona or Kendra house, the person will be possesing mighty transport animals; if with 7 hindus in the above case, he will be possessing much wealth and precious stones ; and will be enjoying all comforts throughout his life. नीचास्तरिःफनिधनोपगते तु काव्ये पर्वोदितक्षितिपयोगविनाशनं स्यात्‌ । शुक्रोऽल्पविन्दुयुतमन्दिरदिग्विभागे स्रीवश्यहेतुशयनीयगरहं प्रशस्तम्‌ । ।१२।। --- ## Page 180 ASHTAKAVARGA 145 Sloka 12 — The Rajayoga mentioned in Verse No.1! is nullified when the said Venus is in her depression or occupies the 7th, 12th or 8th bhava. 1 is commendable to have the bed-chamber (in one's own house) in the direction indicated by the rasi (bhava) containing the least number of bindus in the Ashtakavarga of Venus, because it helps one to win over women and keep them in willing submission. Notes : Only Jatakaparijata (from which this verse is taken) takes the rasi (bhava) of the least number of bindus, while Prasnamarga, Devakeralam, Parasara-hora, Phaladeepika and other works take the one having maximum bindus for the - cardinal direction to loéate the bedroom. फलाधिक्यं भृगोर्यत्र तत्र भार्याजनिर्यदि। तस्यां वंशाभिवृद्धिः स्यादल्पे क्षीणार्थसंततिः । ।१३।। Sloka 13 — In the Ashtakavarga of Venus, the direction represented by the rasi (bhava) having the highest number of bindus should be the wife's Janmarasi, so as to ensure increase in progency through her. If the bindus are less, wealth and progeny will be poor. मन्दांशे मन्दसंयुक्ते मन्दक्षेत्रेऽथवा भृगौ । नीचांशे पापसंयुक्ते नीचस्रीभोगमिच्छति । 1१४ । । मेदिनीतनयभागनिवासी मेदिनीभवसदालययुक्तः | मंग्डलेक्षणयुतः सितस्तदाऽत्यंतसुन्दरपराग्ड नारतः । 1१५ । । Slokas 14-15 — When Venus occupies the house of Saturn either in rasi or in Navamsa ; or is in conjunction with Saturn or any other malefic : or is in debilitation Navamsa(Kanya), the person is desirous of having union with a despicable woman. If Venus occupies the house of Mars either in rasi or Navamsa and is aspected by or associated with Mars, the person will be fond of beautiful women of other people. पराशरे :- भौमांशकगते शुक्रे भौमकषेत्रगतेऽपि वा । भौमेन युतदुष्टेश्च परख्रीभोगमिच्छति । । --- ## Page 181 146 अष्टकवर्गः दारागारे मन्दभाशे कुजांशे मन्दराभ्यां वीक्षिते यस्य पुसः | स्यात्तद्वारा जारिणी चंचला वा वेश्या दासी स्वामिसंतोषनिध्नी । 1१६ । । Slokas 16-18 — When the Navamsa of the 7th house falls in the house of Saturn or Mars and (a) the 7th house is aspected by them or (b) the lord of the7th house occupies the rasi of Saturn ` or Mars, the wife of such a person will have a lover, or she will be a strumpet, prostitute, servant or destroyer of the husband's happiness. When the Moon, having Navamsa in the rasi of a malefic planet is either in the 7th or the 12th house; and Venus is associated with a malefic planet, the person comes to grief through a woman. शुक्रांशकेसमाना स्री वर्णरूपगुणान्विता | भवेच्छशाकडःतुल्या वा देशस्य गुणान्विता | 19% 1 | Sloka 19 — The complexion,appearance and the characteristics of a wife will be accordinng to (1) the lord of the Navamsa occupied by Venus ; or (2) the lord of theNavamsa occupied by the Moon ; and her virtues will be according to the lord of the 7th house. पराशर :- सपापभागगे विधौ व्ययेऽ्ड.नालयेऽपि चेत्‌ सपापभा्गवेऽ्ड.नानिमित्ततः शुचां पदम्‌। सितांशकप्रमाणिकाः लियो भवन्ति सद्दुणा: भवेच्चरांशसंमिताः स्वनाथतुल्यसदुणा: | । . शुक्रान्मन्दे त्रिकोणस्थे नेष्टं जीवि सुखप्रदम्‌ । ।२०।। तेषां बलाबलत्वेन भार्याया लक्षणं वदेत्‌ | एवमादिफलं जञात्वा निर्दिशिच्छुकरवर्गत: । ।२१।। Slokas 20-21 — If Saturn is in the 5th or the 9th house from Venus, the married life is not happy; but Jupiter in the same position from Venus bestows happiness. One should observe the virtues of the wife from the strength or weakness of these planets. --- ## Page 182 ASHTAKAVARGA 147 Having considered the primary effects from the above one should predict further from the Ashtakavarga of Venus, Devakeralam and other works :- 1. Venus with 5 or 6 bindus in a Kendra or Tnkona, bestows a happy and prosperous family life and conju- gal bliss. If this Venus is aspected by Mars, the wives will be from noble families. When Venus is in the Lagna, 4th or 10th bhava associated with 5 hindus and has an aspect from a benefic, the person will possess fine vehicles. In the above Yoga, if Venus is in the house of Mars, there will be immense wealth and many kinds of vehicles. When Venus is in a Kendra (except the 7th bhava) or Trikona from the Lagna, associated with 5 or more bindus and is not aspected by Mars, the person will marry early in life. When Venus with 5 bindus is in her debilitation rasi or Navamsa,and is connected with Mars (by association or aspect), the person will undergo great difficulties to get married. Venus in a Trikona or the 2nd house from the Lagna occupied or aspected by malefics will create many obstacles for marriage. If the lord of the sign occupied by Venus is in a Kendra or Trikona from thc Lagna and associated with 5 bindus in thc Ashtakavarga of Venus,the person will possess wealth, lands. vehicles and good fortune. If the lord of the house occupied by Venus is in the 6th or 8th house from Venus and is in trine to the Lagna,the person will ill-treat his wife and become a pauper in course of time. When the lords of 7th and 5th houses are in trine to each other and Mars is in the 7th house from the Lagna, the person will be abandoned by his wife. --- ## Page 183 148 . 15. 14. 16. 17. अष्टकवर्गः When Mars or Satum is in the 7th bhava, and the lord of the 7th bhava has Navamsa in the house of Satum or Mars ; or has an aspect from them, the wife of the native will be immoral.

When Venus, with 1 to 3 bindus in Saturn's 1251 or Navamsa, has an aspect from Mars, the person will become the husband of an adulteress. When Venus with 5 bindus is in the house of Mars or his Navamsa and is (also) aspected by Mars, the person will be going after other people's wives (of item No.l abovc). Mars in the 6th house, the Moon in the 7th house and Venus in the 12th house (from the Lagna) and any one of these having an aspect or conjunction with Saturn or Rahu, the person will have union with a widow. The Moon in the 7th, the lord of the 7th having connection with Rahu, and Venus in exaltation rasi, the person will have union with an old woman. When Venus associated with more than 3 bindus has exaltation Navamsa and an aspect from Mars, the person will be always lascivious. When Venus with 2 or 3 bindus is in the 6th, 7th, 8sth or 12th house and the lord of the 7th housc is in debilitation, the person will be co-habiting with a base woman. When Venus in the 6th, 8th or 12th house with 2 or 3 bindus 1s in conjunction with or aspected by Saturn, the person will co-habit with a blind woman. When the lord of the 9th is in the 7th house and the lord of the 7th is in Jupiter's house and malefics occupy the 7th house, the person will have union with a woman of defective limb. --- ## Page 184 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 26. 27. 28. ASHTAKAVARGA 149 Same is the case when a malefic is in the 9th house, the lord of the Sth is in the 7th house and another malefic is in the 2nd house. When Saturn or Mars occupies the 2nd or the 7th house from the Lagna and Venus is in the |2th, the person will . marry a second time even when the first wife is alive. When the lord of the house occupied by the Kalatradhipa (lord of 7th) is in Kataka sign and 15 associated with or aspected by malefics, the person will have two wives. When Venus is in debilitation or is in combust, with no benefic aspect, and the lord of the 7th house is hemmed in between malefics (पापकर्तरि he will have three wives. Lord of the 7th in the 9th house, a malefic in the 2nd and Venus in a common (उभय) sign, indicate two wives. The number of wives will be as many as there are planets in the 7th or 2nd house. This should be consid- ered only when the 2nd house is occupied by a malefic. When the 7th house is a house of Saturn or Mars and when Venus is aspected by Mars and if malefics occupy the 2nd house, the person's marriage will be by use of force, When the lord of the Navamsa rasi of the Moon is between the lords of the 1st and the 7th houses and also aspects his own house. the marriage is by use of force. When the lord of the house occupied by the lord of the 7th is in the 6th or 8th house from the 7th house (Kalatrasthana), or if he(that lord) is in debilitation. in an inimical house or in combust, therc 15 no chance of an issue. ः When Jupiter in transit passes through the trine houses of Venus or the lord of the 7th, marriage takes placc.

If Saturn is in a Kendra associated with 1, 2, 3 or 4 bindus and this house happens to be his exaltation sign, any child born will be short- lived. षटूपच्जविन्दुसहिते तनुगे बलाढ्ये जन्मादिदुःखवियुलं धननाशमेति। मन्दे शरादिफलनीचसपत्नभावें जातश्चिरायुरतिशोभनवर्गकेन्दौ । ।१२। । Sloka 12 — When Satur possessed of strength and associated with 6 or 5 bindus is in the -15 bhava, the person concerned experiences much sorrow even from birth and will undergo loss: of wealth. If he is in his debilitation or inimical house and is --- ## Page 193 158 अष्टकवर्ग associated with 5 or more hindus, the person will have long life provided the Moon is in an auspicious Varga (Ref.

If such Saturn is associated with 8 bindus, the native will be the head of towns, well-versed in the administration and diplomacy ; if the number of bindus is 7, the person born will be very wealthy Notes : Saturn cannot be associated with 8 dindus as he does not contribute a bindu in the house occupied by him. Therefore 7 bindus will be the maximum. (Read 6 bindus where 7 are mentioned and 7 bindus where 8 are mentioned). शन्यष्टवर्ग तदितास्तराशी विशोध्य शून्यौ यदि दुर्मतिः स्यात्‌ । शन्यप्रदेशे सुहदक्षयुक्तौ तौ चेत्सुहृदर्गयुतो भ्रियत । 1१४ । । Sloka 14 — After both the reductions, if the house occupied by Saturn and the 7th from that are both devoid of birdus, the native will meet with an accidental or unnatural death in a deserted place If both the above houses have hindus and the donors of these hindus are in friendly and other good houses, death will take placc amidst his relatives and. friends. Devakeralam and other works— 1. When Satum is in the Lagna with no bindu the result 1s death or loss of property or great sickness. 2. If Saturn is in debilitation, in the Lagna or in an inimical house with more than 4 hindus and is aspected by a benefic. the person will have a longs life. --- ## Page 194 10. ASHTAKAVARGA 159 When Saturn is associated with 4 or 5 bindus and occupies debilitation, inimical house or-is in combust, the person will be riding on horses, elephants, camels and other conveyances and will be rich. When Saturn debilitated. in Navamsa occupies the Lagna or the 5th house associated with more than’ 4 bindus, the person will be poor and suffering from diseases 10 neck such as Goitre, Laryngitis, etc. Saturn in the Lagna or the 4th house, with 3 or 4 bindus, will make a person short-lived if the said Saturn is not in exaltation or in his own house. Saturn in a Kendra or Trikona occupving his own house in rasi and Navamsa associated with 1 to 3 bindus, makes a person earn wealth by various means. When Saturn as the lord of the 9th and 10th houses is in the 3rd, 6th or 11th house, associated with 3 bindus, the person becomes a King or equal to a King. _ (This can happen only in Vrishabha Lagna). When Saturn is in his own house with 4 bindus. and that happens to be the 2nd house (Makara Lagna) or the 12th house (Kumbha Lagna) and other malefics are in Trikona to the Lagna, the person will be a beggar throughout his life. When the lord of the 8th house from the Lagna or Saturn, is in an inimical house or in combust and without anv benefic aspect. the person will be a life- long beggar When there is a benefic in the 8th house from the Lagna or from Saturn : and the lord of that house is ` powerful, the native will enjoy full happiness through- out his life. Saturn and the Moon in the Lagna associated with more than 4 bindus bring great poverty. But, if they are in other Kendras, the person becomes a King or one equal to a King. --- ## Page 195 160 13. 14. 18. 19. 20. ` ` अष्टकवर्ग When Saturn is in Mesha, Mars in Makara each with 4 bindus (in Saturn's Ashtakavarga) and the lord of "the 8th house is weak, the person is poor and afflicted with Gout or Rheumatism. When Mars in debilitation with 1 bindu (in Saturn's Ashtakavarga) is conjoint with or aspected by Satum, the person will be sickly and sorrowful sometimes, and at other times prosperous and happy. When Mars as the lord of the Lagna and the 8th house is in the 9th house with Satur and is associated or aspected by the Sun, the person will be fickle-minded and short-lived. (This hapens only in Mesha Lagna). When the lords of the 4th, 8th and 12th houses have association with or aspect from Satum and the Moon is in the 6th, 8th or the 12th house, the person will be short-lived. The death takes place in a foreign place when Satum is associated with 1 to 3 bindus in any bhava. When malefics arc in the 10th house, Satum and Rahu in the 9th and the lord of the 10th house from the 10th is Venus, the person will go on a pilgrimage and will have a bath in the holy Ganges (This can hapen only in Mesha and Vrischika Lagnas). When Saturn with 2 or 3 bindus is in the 2nd house and is aspected or conjoined with the lord of the 2nd house, the person will go on a pilgrimage to the sacred rnvers. When Satum with 3 bindus is in the 10th house conjoined with the lord of the 10th, the person will be living in a foreign place: When Saturn is in the 2nd house and the lord of the 2nd house 15 weak, the person will commit heinous and sinful deed and will meet with an ignoble end, even when there is a Rajayoga. --- ## Page 196 ASHTAKAVARGA 161 मन्दाष्टवर्मादथ रिष्टयोगे दुष्टानि वर्षाणि विचारयन्ति। पूर्वोक्तसंशोधनतो हि शुद्धं पिण्डं सुधीमान्विलिखेत्प॒थक्‌स्थम्‌ । ।१५ । Sloka 15 - The causes of loss, misfortune, etc., and unfavourable years should be considered form the Ashtakavarga of Saturn.

Death will be certain when these conditions agree with thc positions arrived by the "Navamsa multiplication method given below:- Write down the longitude of the planet (in rasi, degrees and minutes) at birth in two places. Multiply the first by the number of Navamas elapsed from Mesha (each rasi contains 9 Navamsas) upto the Navamsa occupied by the planet and convert the minutes, degrees, etc. to degrees and rasis, expunging cycles of 12. Bring down the longitude in the second place into --- ## Page 209 174 अष्टकवर्गः minutes and multiply that by the number of minutes elapsed in the Navamsa occupied by the planet. Divide this product by 200 (minutes in one Navamsa) and convert the quotient which is in minutes into degrees and rasis. Add this to the first product. When the planet passes through the rasi and position: thus obtained or through the position obtained by deducting this from 12 rasis, death may take place. In this manner the positions of all the planets at the time of death should be calculated from their respective longitudes. It is this method which is mentioned in the previous verse as निजाशगुणितैः। Notes : In the Standard Horoscope (1) for the Moon :- Long of the Sun ~~ 45-29%-40' Long of Satum 95-16-11" 28-15-51" This gives Mithuna and its trines or Dhanus and its trines or Kumbha (Navamsa).

Each half of the line of the verse refers to the number of bindus contributed by each of the 8 donors (the Sun, the Moon etc., and the Lagna being the last) in order. To insert the proper figure in each bhava, the figurc represented by the consonant is put down. | । For example "बालो बलिष्ठो लवणाग्डमत्सरो" is for the Sun. Beginning with the bhava occupied by the Sun, put 3 (बा) in that bhava and 3 (लो) in the 2nd bhava from the Sun and 3 (बो) in the 3rd bhava, etc. Adding up-these 8 figure given by the 7 planets and the Lagna in each bhava, the aggregate in each bhava is obtained. The sum of all the totals in the 12 bhavas will be 337 (सालोल) which is the same as given in Chap. II Verse No.17. These figures in each bhava can be compared with those arrived at by adding bindus in the several Ashtakavargas as shown under Verse No.l.

But in the . verse the Lagna is given 25, the 4th bhava 24, the 8th, 24 and the 9th, 29. A possible explanation for these variations appears as follows:- * According to the Sankhva Darshana (सांख्यदर्शन) the five gross elements (पच्जभूताः)- earth, water, fire, air and ether; the five subtle elements (पच्चतन्मात्रो-श1ल], taste, form, touch and sound ; the five organs of perception (ज्ञानिन्द्रिय)- eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin ; the five organs of action (कर्मेन्द्रिय)- voice, hands, feet and organs of excretion and generation ; the mind, (मनस्‌) intellect, (बुद्धि) egoism (अहंकार) and primal nature (प्रकृति) are the 24 eternal tattvas. Evolution begins when these are aspected by Purusha, the 25th tativa. Sinee birth is an evolution in the process of attaining the higher goal variously called Moksha, Nirvana, salvation,etc.. the Lagna representing the birth is allotted 25 hindus equal to the 25 tattas. This makes it equal to the 5th house, 1.6.. thc house of Purva Pumya and further Karma is necessary (for forward progress). The progress towards perfeetion depends on one's penance (तपस्‌) and luck (or divine grace) represented by the Sth bhava and also on moral courage and prowess indicated by the 3rd bhava. These bhavas, therefore, have been strengthened with 29 bindus cach. The 10th house. 1.6.. the house of action (Karma) is also well strengthened with 36 bindus. The hin- drances to the spiritual progress are (1) the family and material wealth (2nd bhava). (2) the realtions and property (+h house) and (3) love and passion (7th house). Attachment to these. ties one down to this material world. Hence the: figures in respect of these bhavas are kept on a lower scale. The 6th bhava is the Sth from the Karma bhava and 10th from the 9th bhava which " indicates success in undertakings. This bhava is. therefore strength- ened with 34 hindus. Finally. the 11th house (house of gain) is --- ## Page 221

well fortified with 54 bindus showing acquisition of great merit. more spiritual than material and the 12th house is given the minimum as it represents loss, expenses, etc. पापैर्नान्वितवीक्षिते स्वकथिताक्षाधिक्ययुक्ते सुखे रिक्थे वा निजपूर्वसंचितधनं लभ्येत नैवान्यथा । एवं YEOH स्वकर्मसमपात्तार्थन भोगादिक लाभे प्रोक्तगुणे प्रयत्नरहितो वित्तागमः संभवेत्‌ । ।१३।। Sloka 13 - If the 4th house has more than 24 bindus and is not aspected or occupied by malefics, or if the 2nd house is free + from aspect or occupation by malefics and has more than 22 bindus: in either of these conditions, the person will inherit the ancestral property. ॥ Conversely, if these two bhavas are aspected or occupied by malefics and bindus are less than 24 and 22 respectively, the person will not inherit the ancestral property. When the 10th bhava has more than 36 bindus and has no connection with malefics, the person will lead a happy life with wealth earned by his own efforts When the 11th bhava has 34 bindus and has no connec- tion with malefics, wealth accrues to him without anv effort. भाग्ये वा तनुभेऽथ वोदितगरुणे लभ्येत नूनं निधिः -पश्चाल्लग्नगताक्षसंख्यवयसः स्याज्जात्तकोक्तं शुभम्‌ | लाभादूनफले व्यये च धनवान्‌ निःस्वो भवेदन्यथा लाभः कर्मसुखात्‌ फलेऽधिकफले यत्नोचितो नान्यथा | 1१४ । | Sloka 14 - When the Lagna has more than 25 bindus or the 9th house has more than 29 bindus and each has no connection with malefics. the person will acquire hidden wealth.

If the 1 11 house has more hindus than the 10th, the gain will be equal to or more than the effort put in; if the bindus are less, the income is not up to thc amount of effort put in निजोक्तसंख्याक्षयुताः शुभेशैर्युक्ताश्च दष्टा न च पापखेटै भावा नृणां पुष्टतमा भवेयुर्ैवस्युरस्माद्विपरीतरूपाः | 1१५ । | Sloka 15 - Bhavas prosper when they have the prescribed (or more) number of bindus and are aspected or occupied by their respective lords or by benefics and have no association or aspect from malefics. Conversely, when any bhava has less bindus than the prescribed number and has an aspect from or occupa- tion by malefics and is not connected with benefics, the effects of that bhava are quite the reverse श्रीमानर्थविच्छनवन्धुनवमव्योमायगाक्षान्वये वित्तायादधिके व्ययाधिक इतश्चोने समे स्यात्समः। तीर्थोने व्ययमृत्युषष्ठभवनस्थाक्षान्वयेस्याव्यया- दायस्याधिकत्ताधिके खलु ततो भूयानिहायान्न्ययः । ।१६।। Sloka 16 - In the Samudayashtakavarga add up the binds in the Lagna, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 1th houses from the Lagna; if this total is more than 164 (वित्ताय), the person will be prosperous having income more than the expense. If it is less than 164, his income is less than the expense, and if it is equal to 164, income , and expenditure will be equal. Find the total of the bindus in the 6th, 8thand 12th bhavas. If this total is less than 76 (तीर्थ), one has income greater than expenditure; if the total is greater than-76, less income and more expenditure: if cqual to 76, both equal.

Con- versely, if Ghataka figure is greater than. Poshaka and that of 4th, 8th and 12th houses as Ghataka. If Poshaka figure is greater then Ghataka figure, the person will be wealthy. Conversaly, if Ghataka figure 1s greater than poshaka figure. the person will be poor Notes : latensity of richness and poverty depends upon the dispartiy of Poshaka and Ghataka figures.

The Lagna to Mercury : Same as for the Sun, i.e., Moola and 33rd vear of life Mercury to the Lagna : Same as for the Sun, i.e., Ardra and 69th vear of life When there are indications of good and bad results in the same vear or during the transit over the same asterism by benefics and malefics. the cffects will be of mixed nature, the net result being that of the most powerful planet Jataka-parijata savs that after the multiplications and divisions. remainder should be taken into consideration. When a particular planet passes through that asterism. good or bad results accrue. while Phaladeepika takes the quotient for the same product and says that similar results will follow in the running vear of life of the native as represented by the quotient. प्रश्नमार्ग लग्नादारभ्य सूर्यात्मजगतभवनान्ताक्षमेकत्र युक्त्वा सुघने तस्मिन्‌ सुखाप्ते गतवति फलतुल्याब्टके रोगशोका: | मन्दादालग्नमेवं क्षितिसुतगतभाद्वाविलन विलग्ना- दाभौमं चेति कृत्वा विधिमशुभमतीवादिशेच्चोदिताब्दे ¡ ! , भौमाच्च लम्नपर्वन्तमेकीकृत्य तु बिन्दवः । पू्व्रह्ुणितं कृत्वा वर्षमेव प्रकल्पयेत्‌ । 1५० | | TE पापसंयुक्ते व्याधिमृत्युभयं भवेत्‌ | वषेषु हीनभागेषु तभ्दावं वर्जयेत्तदा ।५१। | --- ## Page 241 206 अष्टकवर्ग: Slokas 50, 51 — Total up the bindus from the house occupied by Mars to the Lagna (both inclusive).

Similarly, in the Chandra lagna (the bhava occupied by the Moon) and its 8th bhava. If the number of bindus in the respective Lagna is greater than the bindus in the corresponding 8th bhava, the person will be long-lived. If the number of bindus in both the bhavas are equal, a middle life. If the Lagna bhava has less bindus than its corresponding 8th bhava, the person is short- lived. लग्नादष्टमराशौ चन्दराद्वा लग्नगेऽथवा पुंसाम्‌ | मरणं न्यूनफले वा. राशौ पिण्डाष्टकवर्गेषु । ।५३।। Sloka 53 — The death of the native may take place when the rising sign is :- (a) the 8th rasi from the Lagna, or (b) the 3th rasi counted from the Moon. or (५) the rasi (bhava) containing the least number of bindus in the Samudayashtakavarga. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope the 8th rasi from, (a) the Lagna is Makara: (b) the Moon is Vrishabha: and (©) 1251 containing the least number of hindus is Dhanus. सर्वग्रहाणां रेखैक्यं कुर्यादिष्टदिने ततः * | फलं शुभाशुभं FAT तत्प्रकारोऽभिधीयते | 1५४ । | --- ## Page 242 ASHTAKAVARGA 207 सर्वग्रहाणां रेखैक्यं शक्रतुल्यं भवेद्यदा *। | तदा त्रिवर्गहानिः स्यात्तिथितुल्ये महाऽऽपदः । ।५५।। भूपतुल्ये भूपभयं नाशः सप्तदशे स्मृतः* । अष्टादशे तु रेखैक्ये धनहानिश्च जायते । ।५६। । कुमतिर्बन्धुपीडा स्यात्तथा चैकोनविंशतौ *। WR नखतुल्ये तु व्ययश्च कलहः स्मृतः ko |) एकविंशतिसंख्यैक्ये हृदि दुःख प्रजायते * । पराभवस्त्वफलता दैन्यं चाकृतिसंख्यके | 1५८ | | तरयोविंशन्मिते प्रोक्ता हानिर्धर्मार्थयोरपि *। अकस्माद्धनहानिः स्याच्चतुर्विंशन्मिते तथा | 14] 1) करस्थितस्य द्रव्यस्य हानिः स्यात्यंचविंशके* | wind मु कलह: समता घिष्ण्यसंख्यके | ।६० । | पिण्डे द्रव्यागमश्चेकोनत्रिंशे जनपुज्यता * | त्रिंशन्मिते राजपूजा सुकृतं सुखसंयुतम्‌ 1 ।६२१।। एकत्रिंशन्मिते द्रव्यं सन्मानं च विशेषत:* । दंततुल्यै: सर्वसिद्धिर्महालाभोऽमरैः समैः | ।६२।। चतुरधिकत्रिंशभ्दी रेखाभिरभिसंस्थिता+ | सर्वसंपत्तिसिद्धि : स्यात्सर्वार्थानामतः परम्‌ । ।६३ ।। रसशररेखा यावत्फलमृक्तं त्वष्ट वर्गजं मुनिभिः*। दिनजं फलं विचार्य त्वनेन विधिना शुभाशुभं पुंसाम्‌ । ।६४।। दशाफलस्य ज्ञानाय तथा दिनफलस्य च+ | प्रोक्तो महाष्टको वर्गः शोखाच्च ब्रह्मयामलात्‌ | ।६५ 1 | स्वर्षेच्चोपचयस्थाने फलमेतदुदाहृतम्‌ | : ` पूर्वोक्तेनैव मार्गेण स्वाष्टवर्मः शुभो यदि । ।६६।। फलानि द्विगुणान्यत्र दद्युः खेटा न चान्यथा । एवं द्वादशमूर्त्यादि स्वे स्वे स्थाने दशाफलम्‌ | 1६७ || --- ## Page 243 208 ` अष्टकवर्ग Slokas 54-67 — On any desired day find the positions of the planets in the Zodiac. From the Bhinnashtakavargas of the natal cahrt find the number of indus in each bhava occupied by the 7 planets on the day in question or on the day of Nirayana solar ingress and find the total of the hindus associated with all the 7 planets. The day-to-day or the monthly effects will be as follows according to the number of bindus obtained:- (14) detriment to Dharma (duty), wealth and happiness त्रिवर्गहानि); (15) great misfortune ; (16) royal (Government) displeasure ; (17) loss (destruction- of everything) ; (18) loss of wealth ; (19) distress due to perverted ideas and through relations ; (20) expense and quarrel ; (21) great mental anguish ; (22) humilitation, failure in undertakings and pitiable condition (दैन्यं); (23) detriment to Dharma (duty) and wealth; (24) unexpected loss of money ; (25) loss of ready cash (rollingstock); (26) quarrel; (27) balanced state in all matters; (28) inflow of wealth; (29) respect from public; (30) royal recognition, virtuous deed and happiness; (31) wealth; (32) special gifts and honours; (33) attainment of everything and great profits; (34 to 56) attainment of all kinds of prospertiy, wealth, etc., the magnitude increasing, proportionately according to the number of bindus. Thus, the day-to-day prosperity or otherwise has been mentioned 0४ the sages. This important Ashtakavarga method has been taught by God Shiva in the Brahmayamala to under- stand the effects of the Dasas and the day-to-day results. Whatever effects are given in the forgoing verses accord- ing to the Ashtakavarga bindus, they will be two-fold when the planets are in their exaltation, own house or Upachava houses and proportionately reduced if thev are otherwise. In this manner the effects of all the 12 bhavas should be judged. Notes : Parasara gives the monthly or day-to-day effects begin- ning from the toal of 7 bindus up to 40 bindus in detail and from 40 upto 56 collectively. --- ## Page 244 ASHTAKAVARGA 209 He has prescribed some propitiatory rites to be performed to ward off the evil effects. Some of the commentators such as those of Manasagari, Parasara, Jataka-Chandrika, etc., have applied the above results as the yearly effects, considering the Lagna as the first year; 2nd house, the secondyear; 3rd house, thethird year; and so on. Again the cycles of 12 years are to be taken, i.e., the Lagna will represent 13th, 25th, 37th, 49th, 61st, etc., years of life. पराशर :- संक्रमदिने ग्रहाणामष्टकवर्गेषु चारवशात्‌ * | ` रेखैक्याच्छुभमशुभं मासफलं तद्वशादिनफलं च | | रेखाभिः सप्तभिर्युक्तं मासे gegen भवते * | सुवर्णं विशतिपलं दद्याद्‌ द्वौ तिलपर्वतौ । | वसुभिर्जातिहीनः स शीघ्र मृत्युवशो नरः * | असत्फलविनाशाय दद्यात्कर्पूरजां तुलाम्‌| रेखाभिर्नवभिः सर्पान्त्रियते मनुजो gan * | अश्वैष्श्चतुर्भि: संयुक्तं रथं दद्याच्छुभाप्तये || रेखाभिर्दशभिः शस्रास्प्राणास्त्यजति मानव: * | दद्याच्छुभफलावाप्त्ये कवचं वजसंयुतम्‌।। रुद्रः प्राप्याभिशापं च प्राणैर्मुक्तो भवेन्नर:* | दिक्पलैः स्वर्णघटितां प्रदद्यात्प्रतिमां विधोः 1) आदित्यैर्जलदोषेण मानवस्य मृतिं वदेत्‌ * | भूमिं दद्याद्‌ ब्राह्मणाय पश्चच्छुमफलं भवेत्‌ | | त्रयोदशमितेर्व्याधान्मानवो मृत्युमाप्नुयात्‌ * | विष्णोर्हिरण्यगर्भस्य दानं कुर्याच्छुभाप्तयै | |' अचिराज्जीवितं Tees: कालेन भक्षितः* | वराहप्रतिमां दद्यात्कनकेन विनिर्मिताम्‌ | | राज्ञो भय तिथिमितैस्तत्र हस्ती प्रदीयते* | रिष्टभूपैः कल्पतरो; प्रतिमां च निवेदयेत्‌ || ऋषिचंद्रैव्याधिमयं गुड्धेनुं निवेदयेत्‌* | कलहोशष्टेदुभिर्दद्याद्रत्नगौभूहिरण्यकम्‌ || --- ## Page 245 210 अष्टकवर्गः देशत्यागोऽकचंदरः स्याच्छांति कुयद्विधानतः* | विंशत्या बुद्धिनाशः स्यात्कूर्याल्लक्षमितं जपम्‌ । | भूमिपक्षे रोगपीडा दद्याद्धान्यस्य पर्वतम्‌+ | यमाशविभिर्बन्धुपीडा दद्यादादर्शकं gu: || रामपक्षयुते मासे नानाक्लेशानप्रपद्यते* | सौवर्णी प्रतिमां दद्याद्रवेः सप्तपलैः क्रमात्‌ | | वेदाश्विमिर्बन्धुहीनो दद्यादरोदानक दश# | शराश्विभी रो गभीतिर्जपहोमादि कारयेत्‌ । | ऋतुपक्षैबुंद्धिहीन: पूज्या वागीश्वरी तथा | धनक्षयः स्यान्नक्षत्रै: ARE तत्र संज्पेत्‌ |] वसुपक्षे युते मासे न लाभो हानिखेचरैः। सूर्यहोमश्रच विधिना कर्तव्यः शुभकांक्षिभिः* | एकोन त्रिंशता चापि चिंताव्याकुलितो भवेतृ* | घृतवरुसुवर्णानि तत्र दद्यादिचक्षणः।। त्रिशता धनधान्याप्तिरिति जातकनिर्णय:* | भूवहिभिर्महोद्योग: सुहनद्व गसमन्वित्त: | | नेत्राग्निभिर्महोत्साहो पुत्रसपद्रणाग्निभिः। | सहेमवख्रलाभश्च चतुखिशत्समन्विते* | पचरामेर्भवेद्धीमान्षटत्रिंशत्सुतवित्तदा | | सप्तत्रिशद्धनस्याप्तिरष्टत्रिंशत्सुखार्थदा* | द्रव्यरत्नाप्तिरेकोनचत्वारिंशति विद्यते | | धनवान्कीर्तिमांश्चैव चत्वारिंशति वर्द्धते* | अत ऊर्ध्वे यशोऽर्थाप्तिः पुण्यश्रीरुपचीयते || जातकसारदीप :- .

1. If there are more than 30 bindus in the Lagna. 9th. 10th and 11th houses. the person is born a king and remains so till his death or he will have all the powers and comforts equal to a king. --- ## Page 247 212 अष्टकवर्गः 2. One will be poor, irate or sickly according as the number of bindus is less than 25 in the Lagna, 9th, 0th and 1ith houses. Mixed results if the number of bindus are more than 30 in some and less than 25in other bhavas. 3. When the number of the bindus in the Lagna, 9th, 10th and 11th houses is between 19 to 22 and malefics are in Trikona houses, the person will be very poor and a beggar. 4. When the Lagna has less than 30 bindus and the 3rd house has more than 30 bindus, the person will wield royal authority in Parliament. 5. When the Lagna, Chandralagna, 10th and 11th houses have more than 30 bindus each and the Lagna is aspected by Jupiter, the person becomes a king or a minister. 6. If there are more than 30 bindus in the 2nd, 9th, 10th and 11th houses, he becomes a ruler of many states. 7. If the Lagna has more than 30 bindus and there are planets in the 9th and 10th houses, he will lead a comfortable and happy life. In the above case, he will be the chief in his family if the Lagna contains the maximum bindus. 8. When there are more than 30 bindus in the 4th house and benefics occupy and aspect that house.the person will have convevances carried by men. (Palanquin, etc.) 9. When Saturn associated with 30 bindus aspects the 4th house and the lord of that house is in a Kendra from the Lagna, the person will have horses for his convevances. 10: "When the Moon is in the 3rd bhava aspected by the Sun, and Mars aspects the 8th bhava, the person will be afflicted by bodily sores. If there are malefics in the 3rd house with middling bindus (between 25 to 30), the person suffers from disorder of watery humours or suffers fatigue from travel. etc. 11. When the Moon is combust (New Moon) and the lord of the Chandralagna is associated with few bindus (i.e.. less --- ## Page 248 ASHTAKAVARGA 213 13. 16. 18. than 25), and has an aspect too from Saturn, the person is possessed of and afflicted by evil spirits. The Samudayashtakavarga bindu strength of a bhava will be in effective if the benefic planets arc in debilitation or’ combust or malefics are in benefic Vargas. A Vargottama planet in any bhava with 30 or more bindus advances the happiness of that Bhava to the greatest extent. When the lord of the Lagna is in the 4th house with more than 30 bindus, the person will be a feudatory king, prosperous and happy. The cardinal direction represented by the bhava occupied by the lord of the Lagna will be the place of living and earning, of the person. Luck may come from the direction of the lord of the 8th house also. In the Samudayashtakavarga note the bindus in all the bhavas. If one bhava has the minimum bindus (¢.g.,18) and in the next house there are maximum bindus (e.g., 36), the person experiences sudden rises in life. Conversely, if one bhava has the maximum bindus (e.g., 36) and in the next house there. are minimum binds (e.g., 18), the person born experiences sudden falls in life. When the difference be- tween the maximum and the minimum bindus is very little, the life of the person is very steady and progressive as age advances. The reverse are the results if the disparity between the maximum and the minimum bindus is very high. Find the number of bindus in the house occupied by the Moon. The mother may suffer sickness or die after that age (represented by the binds) of the native. When Saturn passes through the 12th, Ist and 2nd houses from the Moon, he gives bad results to the native. If the said houses contain more than 30 bindus each, the person suffers less troubles. miscries.etc.. and he obtains good --- ## Page 249 214 _ अष्टकवर्ग: results on a very large scale depending upon the number of bindus in the said houses. If those 3 houses contain less than 25 bindus each, the person suffers miseries, etc., on a very large scale. If they contain mixed number of bindus, there are mixed results. When one of them con- tains very few bindus as compared to the remaining two, the person suffers heavily during the transit of Satum through that house. If one of the 3 said houses contains more bindus than the other two. the transit of Satum through that house will give good results. In the same way ` Saturn's transits through the 4th and 8th houses from the Moon may be judged. (The transit of Saturn through the 12th, Ist and 2nd houses from the Moon is known as Sadesati (साडेसाति), Panoti (पनोति), ie, 7 1/2 vears of Satum). --- ## Page 250

Divide these figures by 30 to get vears (months, etc.). If the years are in excess of 12, deduct as many cycles of 12 vears as possible (keeping 12 and figures less than 12 as they arc). The sum of all these figures, gives the period of life given by the various planets subject to modifications (1) Double the Ayus for the planet in exaltation; (2) Reduce to one half the Ayus for the planet in तच्छा tation or combust; (3) In respect of a planet in an intermediate position - (between his exaltation and debilitation) calculate the proportional period; (4) When Mars is retrograde, double theAvus obtained. मूतत्रिकोणनिजमित्रगहोपगानां पुडगदिवर्गशुभयोगनिरीक्षितानाम्‌ | उक्तप्रकारगणितागतमायुरेव पापारिवर्गसहितस्य विपातमायुः । 1११॥। Sloka 11 — In respect of plancts in Moolatrikona, own house. a friendly house or in benefic Vargas such as exaltation, conjuction with benefic planets or in aspect from benefics, the Avus figure ‘has to be modified as before.

Thereafter the Dasas, of the planets in the Kendras from that powerful one of the order of their strength; of the planets in Panaphara houses and lastly, of thouse in the Apoklima houses follow in the same manner. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope amongst the Sun, the Moon and the Lagna, the Lagna is the most powerful (8.702 Rupas) followed by the Sun (7.348 Rupas), the Moon (6.756 Rupas) according to their Shadvargabalas. Hence the Dasa of the Lagna comes first. The Sun and Mercury are in Kendra from the Lagna. Therefore the Dasas of the Sun and Mercury (7.206 Rupas) come in order after the Lagna. Out of the Panaphara houses from the Lagna the 5th house is occupied by the Moon, Jupiter and Venus and the 8th by Saturn. The Dasas in the order of their strength are those of Saturn (7.997 Rupas), the Moon (6.756 Rupas), Venus (6.200 Rupas) and Jupiter (5.368 Rupas). Next in order comes the planets in the apoklima houses. Mars is the only planet in the 3rd house. --- ## Page 266 . ASHTAKAVARGA 231 Therefore the order of the Dasas is 1. The Lagna; 2. The Sun; 3. Mercury; 4. Saturn; 5. The Moon; 6. Venus; 7. Jupiter and 8. Mars. । ॥ THEE त्यंशकं वै त्रिकोणे चूनेऽद्रंशं पाचयत्येव खेटः। तुर्यां वै Caged SRE व्यादयो यो बली सः। ।३९।। द्विन्यादयश्चेद्युचरा भवन्ति द्यूने तिकोणे चतुरघ्रके वा । वीर्यक्रमेणैव हि पाचकाः स्युरेवं लयं तत्र विदुः पुराणाः । ।४०।। Slokas 39, 40—To find out the sub-periods of the planets in the main Dasa period of a planer, the order is as follows :— 1 (1) a planet in conjunction with the main planet contributes 2 of the main planet’s period; (2) thereafter, the sub-periods of planets in the 9th and 5th houses from the Dasa lord in the pro- portion of one-third of his period, (3) that of a planet in the 7th house from the Dasa lord in the proportion of one-seventh of his period, and (4) those of planets in the 8th and 4th houses from the Dasa lord in the proportion of one-fourth.

If the bindus are in excess, good effects are given in due proportion. The proportions are 8 bindus = 1 full ; 7 bindus k= -3 three quarters; 6 bindus, उ and 5 bindus, य. Bad effects are found in the same manner accord- ing to the excess of rekhas over bindus. When both ar¢ equal, the effects are mixed. If at the commencement of a Dasa, a planet (whose Dasa is considered) transits a bhava containing 8 bindus the effects are full; with 7 to 5 bindus, auspicious; with 4, mixed and with less than 4, increasingly adverse. निक्षिप्याष्टकर्वक निजनिजात्‌ स्वाधिष्ठितरक्षादिके ज्ञात्वा द्वादशके फलान्यथ दशाः स्वस्वाश्च तेषु क्रमात्‌ | स्थाप्या द्वादशधा विभज्य शरदा मासाः समाः स्वीयया तेऽल्पाक्रक्षगता भवेयुरशुभा: पूर्णाक्षभस्थाः शुभाः 11४८ । | शुन्याक्षे चतुरूनके च भवने ये द्वादशांशाः स्थिताः कुर्युस्ते धनधान्यगोक्षयममी तेषां समृद्धिं च ये। पंचाद्यक्षसमन्विते पुनरिमे भावानपि स्वाधिता- नक्षाणां च तथाल्पताधिकतया निघ्नन्ति पुष्णन्ति वा 11४९ ।॥ । Slokas 48, 49—After completing the Ashtakavarga of each planet in the manner prescribed, note the number of bin- dus in the 12 bhavas. Divide the Dasa periods of the planets into 12 parts and allot one part (the years will be equal, to the number of months) 16 each bhava. The first duodecimal period commences with the bhava oc- cupied by the planet, whose Dasa and Ashtakvarga are --- ## Page 271 236 . अष्टकवर्ग: under consideration. The period corresponding to a bhava having less than 4 bindus will be inauspicious, and that corresponding to a bhava having more than 4 bindus will be auspicious. The bhavas having no bindu or less than 4 bindus will bring loss of wealth, harvest, cattle, etc. (in their corresponding portions of the Dasa periods). The bhavas having 5 -or more bindus bring prosperity, wealth, etc., and bhavas with 4 bindus give mixed effects. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope Jupiter is in the 5th bhava in Tula having four bindus. During the first period of (1/12 of 11 yrs. 0 mths. 16 dys. 46 Ghs.) 11 mths. 1 dy. and 24 Ghs. in Jupiter's Dasa, there will be moderate increase in wealth, welfare of the children, intelligence and other things connected with Jupiter. The bindus in the 2nd house from Jupiter are 6. During the second 1/12 period of the Dasa, there will be increase in wealth, welfare of the children, intelligence, etc. In this manner, one should examine the 3rd, 4th and the remaining houses from Jupiter, till the 12th house, when the whole Dasa period will be over. There is another way of consideration also. Find which bhava from the Lagna is:occupied by Jupiter. The first 1/12th period of Jupiter's Dasa gives the effects (good or bad depending on the number of bindus) indicated by that bhava and so on. Jupiter is in the Sth bhava from the Lagna with 4 bindus. The happiness through children, mental activity, etc., are normal in the first period. In the 6th bhava from the Lagna, there are 6 bindus; the 2nd duodecimal period will give freedom from sickness, relief from enemies, etc., and so on for the remaining bhavas. Similarly, the good or bad periods for each planet are to be considered from their Bhinnashtakavarga figures. This system of dividing a Dasa into twelve equal parts may be applied to other systems of Dasas such as Vimshottari, Ashtot-tari, etc. शभुहोराप्रकाशः-- सूर्यादिलग्नपर्यतमेतैर्वाक्यर्विनिर्दिशेत्‌। क्िप्तैस्त्वष्टकवर्गेषु ग्रहाणां च पुथक्‌ पथक्‌ । | --- ## Page 272 ASHTAKAVARGA 237 दशा द्वादशसन्छिन्ना योजयेत्तत्र तत्र भे | ग्रहादीनां फलं ज्ञात्वा निर्दिशिच्च पृथक्‌ पथक्‌ । । दशायाःशून्यभागे तु शत्रुनीचगुहिषु च ] व्याध्यध्वदुः खरोगादील्लैंभते नात्र संशयः । | एकदित्रिफते यस्मिन्धनधघान्यपरिक्षय: । चत्वारि मध्यमानि स्युर्दशा तस्य तु मध्यमा | | पंचकादिगुणाधिक्यमष्टकं सर्वसिद्धिदम्‌ | स्वक्षोच्चोपचयस्थाने फलमेत्दुदाहृतम्‌ | | एकद्टितरिफते यस्मिस्तद्राशीशान्तरे व्यथा | अतीव केल्शकार्याणि धनधान्यपशुक्षयः | ।५०।। बिन्दुपञ्चकयुक्तस्य राशीशस्यान्तरे शुभम्‌ | यत्नकार्यार्थासिद्धिः स्याच्छेयोयोगे तु भाग्यवान्‌ । ।५१।। क्ेत्रदये फलाधिक्ये gH शोभनं महत्‌ | बिन्दुरीनस्थिते राशौ भुक्तौ तु विफलं भवेत्‌ । ।५२।। ्षेत्रदयं कुजादीनां बिन्द्राधिक्यवशात्फलम्‌ । समे समफलं चेति दशा वाच्याष्टवर्गके । 1५३ ।। रविक्षेत्रे फलैहीनि रविभुक्तिफलं वृथा । चन्द्रक्षेत्रे तथा विन््ादष्टवर्णेण योजयेत्‌ । ।५४ । । Slokas 50- 54--The Antardasa of the lord of a bhava containing only one, two, or three bindus in the Mahadasa lord’s Ashtakavarga, brings about distress, extreme suffer- ings in all undertakings and loss of wealth, grains and cattle. The Antara of the lord of the bhava containing five (or more) bindus is beneficial. 1t brings about suc-, cess in all undertakings and if there is Yoga (for prospe- rity) effect about that time, it will make the person very “fortunate. In the case of planets owning two bhavas, when there are five (on more) bindus in both the bhavas, the Antara of the lord of those bhavas proves very auspi- cious; on the other hand when such two bhavas have less number of bindus in both of them, the lord of those bhavas will give no good effects during his Antara. Planets like --- ## Page 273 238 अष्टकवर्ग Mars, etc., (owning two bhavas) will give increasing good effects if there are more bindus in their bhavas. When the number of bindus and rekhas are equal, mixed effects are noticed. In this manner the effects of a planet during his Dasa and Antardasa should be considered in the Ashtaka- varga system. When the Sun’s house (Simha) contains less number of bindus, his Antara proves ineffective. Similar is the case with the Moon. Notes : 11 one of the two houses owned by a planet has more bindus and the other less, the effects of thal Antara will be partly good and partly bad. --- ## Page 274 CHAPTER XVI PLANETARY TRANSITS (GOCHARA) , सूर्याष्टकव्गे : जन्मार्काधिष्ठितगृहातसूर्यै चारवशाच्ुणाम्‌ | प्रथमस्थाने कांति: सिद्धिमनिसचिंतता । 1१ 11 द्वितीये धनवृद्धिः स्याच्छनुक्षोभस्त॒तीयगे | बंधघुप्रशंसा तुर्य स्याद्रोगोदेगौ तु प्रंचमे IRL षष्ठे रुक्‌ दून आरोग्यं बलकांती किलाष्टमे | सुखाध्वसौख्ये नवमे दशमेऽर्थमनःसुखे । ।३।। कमसिद्धिफलप्राप्ती लाभेऽथार्तिस्तु रिःफगे । Slokas 1- 33 —The effects produced by the transit of the Sun through the various bhavas are as follows :— (A) Beginning with the house occupied by him in the natal chart; (1) brightness, achievement of things desired; (2) increase in wealth; (3) agitation caused by enemies; (4) praise from kinsmen; (5) sickness, anxiety; (6) Sickness; (7) good health; (8) strenght, bringhtness; (9) happiness, comfortable journey; (10) wealth, mental happiness; (11) achievement of ends, attainment of results; (12) distress. Notes : (Refer notes—page 63, Verse No. 4). When considering "the Gochara (transit) effects of a planet, his Ashiakavarga alone, should be referred. Any planet while ftransitling a bhava will produce 8 different types of results depending upon his relative position from all the planets and the Lagna at birth. But these B types of results are neither experienced all at the same time nor throughout the entire period of the transit in that 1 1 this chapter (a) the wrong readings are corrected in Round brackets; (b) suggested correct readings are given in square brackets. --- ## Page 275 240 अष्टकवर्ग bhava. When a planet transits a Kakshya, he produces one and only one type of result, which is according to the bhava position he occupies from the position (at birth) of the lord of the Kakshya transitted. The results are good or bad according to the presence or absence of a bindu in that Kakshya in the Ashtakavarga of the transiting planet. In the Standard Horoscope when the Sun transits the lagna bhava, (i.e., 1-18%39' to 2'-18°-39") he produces 8 types of results, good or bad, because he af that time transists the 6th bhava from Radical Saturn (bad); 9th bhava from Radical Jupiter (good); 11th bhava from Mars (good); 10 bhava from his radical posi- tion (good); 9th from Venus (had); 10th from Mercury (good); 9th from the Moon (bad) and the 1st bhava from the Lagna (bad). While transitting the 1st Kashya from 18-18-39 to 18-220-3%" (in about 4 days) he is in the Kakshya of Saturn. He is in the 6th house from the Radical Saturn and as there is no bindu in the Sun’s Ashtakavarga in that Kakshya, the result of the transit is unhappiness. (Ref. Verse 24) The Sun, while transitting the 2nd Kakshya from 18-22-38" 10 1-260-38" is in the Kakshya of Jupiter. He is in the 9th house from the Radical Jupiter and as it contains a bindu in the Sun's Ashtakavarga, the results are attainment of wealth, Dharma (duty) and success. (Ref. verse 19). Similarly, from 25-15°9' to 2%-18°-39', he is in the Lagna Kakshya. He is in the Ist house from the Lagna and as it contains no bindu the results are loss of honour, vehicle and friends. (Ref. verse 26). In this manner the transit results of all the planets should be interpreted, taking into account the Ashtakavarga of the tran- sitting planet. and his relative positions from the radical planets and the Lagna when passing through their respective Kakshyas. The great acharyas give primary ‘importance to the results of the transits of the planets, with reference to the Radical Moon only. जन्मेंदुयुक्तभात्सूर्य प्रथमस्थानगे तथा । 1% । । शोकमार्गश्रमौ दैन्यं हृद्रोगोऽरिवरिदारणा | बहुव्ययश्रमोदेगो दितीयेऽथ तुतीयगे। 1५ । 1 --- ## Page 276 ASHTAKAVARGA 241 स्थानमानार्थधर्माप्तिः प्रीतिश्चानुसुखं भवेत्‌ । सुखे रक्तविकारः स्याञ्ज्वरो रोगस्तथैव च । 1६। । पंचमे बंधुसुतयोः शोको राजभयं तथा । शत्रुनाशः सुखं प्रीतिरारोग्यं च रिपुस्थिते। ।७।। द्यूने जरासुग्विकाराक्षेमाजीर्ण व्यथाष्टमे | स््रीपत्रदुःखभिर्व्याधिर्बधुक्षय उपद्रवः | ।८ । । धर्म दैन्यं स्थितेर्हानिर्विवादो शोक एव च। दशमे स्वर्णवस्त्राप्तिरभूलाभो वा न॒णां भवेत्‌ 11९ ।। लाभे मिष्टान्नमारोग्यं स्थानं चित्तसुखं यशः | हानिः स्यात्कर्मफलयोर्व्ययस्थानं समागते । ।१०।। Slokas 4-10—(B) Beginning with the house occupied by the Moon in the natal chart;

Conversely, when the Dasa is bad the good effects will be reduced while bad effects will be increased according to the strength of the planet. Notes : If a planet is associated with moe than 4 bindus in his Ashtakavarga or more than 28 hindus in the Samudayashtakavarga and is powerful according to the Shadvargabala or bhava position, he gives good effects on a larger scale. The bad effects are on a larger scale if the planet is associated with fess hindus and is not powerful as above, --- ## Page 308 ASHTAKAVARGA 273 CHAPTER XVII EFFECTS ARISING FROM PLANETARY POSITIONS AT BIRTH As the verses explaining the method of application of the | effects were found to be corrupt and difficult to interpret correctly, their inclusion here has been deferred. The following is an attempt to give the gist of the meaning implied by the verses :— 1. Observe the number of bindus and rekhas in the house occupied at birth by a planet (in his Bhinnashtakavarga). _ 2. From the planet’s longitude find out which octave (i.e., Kakshya) of that bhava is occupied by him. Note whether the lord of that Kakshya has donated a bindu or rekha. If there is a bindu the good effects enumerated under that Kashya for that planet will take place; when there is a rekha the bad effects mentioned under that Kakshya will take place. 3. (४) When the planet is associated with 8 bindus (in that bhava) the effects mentioned will take place to the fullest extent ; with 7 hindus, to the extent of 7/8; with 6 bindus, 3/4 etc, etc. Even with one hindu only, in that bhava, the native will experience 1/8 of the benefic results, if this bindu happens to be in the Kakshya occupied by the planet. (b) Conversely, if a planet is associated with a rekha in the Kakshya occupied by him, the native will experience the bad results mentioned under that Kakshya for the planet (considered) to-the extent of 1/8, 1/4, etc., etc., according to the number of rekhas in that bhava, 1.6., 1, 2, etc, etc. : सूर्यष्टकवर्गफलम्‌ रेखाधिततस्तीक्ष्णकरः प्रगल्भं करोति मर्त्यं गजवाजियुक्तम्ैः । मित्रांगसाधुजनसंप्रयुक्तं स्थानेऽ्यके रोगविवर्जितं TLL दितीयसंस्थः प्रघुरप्रतापं प्रभूतवित्तं जितशत्रुपक्षम्‌ | विद्यानुरक्तं नृपतेरभीष्ट प्रशां तचित्तं कुरुते सदैव । ।२।। --- ## Page 309 274 अष्टकर्वर्ग: तुतीयगः सत्यपरं प्रशांतं व्ययेऽनपायं सुजनैः IEA | दिरण्यपुत्रार्थविवेकयुक्त नरं प्रसूते सततं सुशीतम्‌ । ।३।। चतुर्थगः सर्वजनस्य पुज्य॑ करोति मर्त्यं सुदं सुशीलम्‌ | नरेंद्रपुज्य॑ सुभगं प्रशस्तं धर्मात्वितं दानपरं प्रसूते । 1४ ।। ` करोति मर्त्य खलु पंचमस्थो नरं रविर्गोमिषोषटरयुक्तम्‌ | FATIH नृपतेरभीष्ट सुसंयतं ब्राह्मणदेवभक्तम्‌ । 1५ ।। हतारिपक्षं प्रकरोति षष्ठे स्थितो विवस्वान्‌ विविधं नलोके । स्त्रीणामभीष्टं गुरूदेवभक्तं प्रभूतवित्तं प्रचुरान्नपानम्‌ |g | स््रीलाभयुक्तं खलु सप्तमस्थो नरं विधत्ते खलु तीक्ष्णरश्मि: । उदारचित्तं प्रभुतासमेतं विज्ञानशीलं समरप्रचण्डम्‌ । ।७।। स्थोनेऽष्टमे पुत्रधनैः समेतं सुरक्तपित्ताधिकमप्रमेयम्‌ | विस्यातकीर्तिं सततं gerd हतारिपक्षं प्रकरोति भानुः | ।८।। Slokas 1-8- The general effects arising from the Sun’s position at birth in the different Kakshyas (in any Bhava) When associated with a benefic point (bindu) are as follows;- Ist Kakshya : Courage; ownership of clephants and horses; association with friends and religious people and freedom from diseases 2nd Kakshya : Great valour ; abundance of wealth; victory over enemies ; avidity for learning ; royal favours and a tranquil mind. 3rd Kakshya: Truthfulness: serenity: no worry over expenditure: respect from virtuous people: endowment of gold, progeny and riches: discrimination and good character. 4th kakshya : Honour from all people: robust health: good character: honour from ruler: good luck; fame; a pious and philanthropic nature. 5th Kakshya : Ownership of cows, buffaloes and camels: chief person in the family : favours from rulers : self-contol and devotion to Brahmins and God. --- ## Page 310 ASHTAKAVARGA ` 275 6th Kakshya : Destruction of enemies : a desirable person to women: devotion to preceptors and God ; abundance of wealth and plenty of food and beverages. 7th Kakshya : Acquisition of women : noble minded- ness : endowment with authority : interest in sciences and 8 great warrior. 8th Kakshya : Acquisition of progeny and wealth: excess of good blood and biliousness : undying fame ; self control and destruction of enemies. Notes : In the Standard Horoscope the Sun (4%29°40") occupies the 5th kakshya in the 4th bhava, and is associated with a bindu, i.e, Venns the lord of that Kakshya has donated a bindu to the Sun (Ref.

Madras) Vol. II Part- Ipage 51 - verses 417 10420- in these four verses the author Shri Venkatesh has exposed useful principles. ए When Jupiter transits a sign without a bindu (or having minimnm ones) in the B.A.V. of the lord of the Ascendant, on the degrees of the lord of that sign (Suphuta-Yogam), the native has little happiness. When Saturn transits the same sign, over the same degrees, the native will suffer much agony on account of quarrels. Conversely, when any planet malefic or benefic transits a sign having 5 or more bindus, as above very good results are indicated. (A.M. 1984 October). (2) 0) S.A.V. and Bhava-Phalam : : For a house to prosper, it must have at least an average of 28 bindus. व any house, its Karakaand the lord, cach of them is associated with 1055 number of hindu, the goed effects of that house are annihilated . Similarly, वार house, its Karaka and its lord, each of them is associated with more bindus than 28, the good effects of that house are multiplied. (ii) S.A.V. and death : It has been observed, in practice thai at the time of death of a native, generally Saturn transits a house containing the --- ## Page 331 296 अष्टकर्य्गः least number of bindus, or the X next lowest one. It is also found, that during such transit, the death of a nearer elderly relative takes place. (iii) S.A.V. - houses (Signs) associated with less bindus ; If out of the 4 Kendras (the Ist, 4th, 7th and 10th houses) and two Konas (the 5th and 9th house), more houses are having higher number of biudus (e.g. 31 and above), the native is very happy, in whatever walk of life he is placed. Conversely, if more houses out of these six, are having less number of bindus (c.g. 25 and below) the native's life is very miserable and is beset with obstacles at every stage of life. (A.M. January 1985). 3.0 Transit of planets through “0” -not- bindu sign : When each of the seven planets beginning with the Sun to Saturn transits through ` a sign in their respective B.A. Vs. having “O” bindu, the results are as follows : (1) The Suu : Death or its equivalent troubles; - (2) The Moon : Sorrow; anxiety; unexpected death; न (3) Mars : Stomach-ache; fainting; eye diseases; death; _ (4) Mercury : Less of everything (through enemy intrigues) consequent death; (5) Jupiter : Loss of wealth or relations or children; becoming dull; (6) Venus : All kinds of calamities; and (7) Saturn : Less of everything; probably death; Death should be a certainty, if ou a day, the sum of biudus associated with the seven planets in sigus transisted by them (in their respective B.A. Vs) be very little. (ii) Results of houses having “0” bindus in any B.A.V.: The ` varions houses (signs) in any B.A.V. having “O” bindu iu any house beginning with the Ascendant, give the following results to the uative : In the 1st house - one suffers from serious disease; "2nd ` — very poor; * उपि ” - weak bodied; not daring; - * 4th 7 -- nuhappy; * Sth ` — ˆ evil-minded; --- ## Page 332 ASHTAKAVARGA 297 In the 6th house — successful (victorious); » TJth ¥ — without marital happiness; loss of wife: " 8h 7 — healthy; long-lived; " Oth "” — doing sinful deeds; * 10th " — without honour; inactive; * 11th — a beggar; without income; and” 12th ” — wealthy (AM. 1991 January). 4, Planets posited in natal chart get this effects enhanced or reduced by their placements in Navamsa Chart. According to Deva Keralam (ChandraKalaNadi) Vol. II Part-I Page 5, verse 29.— “If an exattéd planet in Rasi Chart is posited in debilitated Navamsa, the native is.unhappy; if a debilitated planet in Rasi Chart 35 exalted in Navamsa, the native 15 happy; while aplanet in own Navainsa, or in Vargottama confers enjoyments and a kind of Rajayoga is formed.” Planets, otherwise powerful and well situated in Rasi Chart do not give favourable results, if they are weak in Navamsa Chart. “A Vargottama planet in any Bhava, with 30 or more bindus, advances the happiness of that Bhava 10 the greatest extent” - (in proportion to increasing number of bindus). A Vargottama planet, in same sign and in'same Navamsa i.e. being powerful by position and also with higher numbers of bindus (in S.A.V.) in Rasi Chart as well as in Navamsa Chart gives very favourable results. From the above three points, it can be concluded that a planet associated with higher or lower number of bindus (S.A.V.) in Rasi Char becomes fownful if he gets higher number of bindus in Navamsa Sign occupied by that planet. It is also true that the same planet gives adverse results, if be gets lower number of bindus in Navamsa Sign. (AM. 1988 July). (5). Use of Rekhas in prognostication 0 To find the good or bad effects of a particular Bhavaat a particular period, take the shcdhyapinda of S.A.V. bindus. Multiply if by ‘the corresponding S.A.V. figure for that particular Bhava and Divide the product by 27 to find the remainder. When Saturn passes through the --- ## Page 333 298 अष्टकवर्ग: asterism indicated by the remainder (counted from Aswini star) there will be destruction of the effects of that Bhava. The same product when divided by 12 and the remainder counted from Aries gives the Rasi and its trines which when transited by Saturn spoils the effects of the Bhava under consideration. Repeat the same process with S.A. V. of rekhas (malefic points) and find out the asterisms and Rasis as above when Saturn transits them the good effects promoted by that Bhava are experienced. - [4 (if) On a particular day note how many planets out of seven planets , "transit through Kakshyas having bindns or Kakshyas having rekhas, “When the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus pass through Kakshyas having bindus in their respective P.A.Vs, they produce gain of wealth; these four planets and one more (ont of the remaining three planets) will bestow great honour; these five planets and one more planet (out of remaining two planets) the native will have very good health, good dress ` and be honoured with ries (in modem times - titles, awardsetc.) and when all the seven planets transit through Kakshyas having bindus, the native will gain kingdom (great profit, dignified position and the like). Similarly, if four planets (the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus) transit through Kakshyas having rekhas, there will be loss of wealth; if five planets as above, there will be disease; if six planets, great calamity etc. ` will fall on the native and if all the seven planets transit alike, death (of some near relation) is likely. If, at that time same planets transit signs having no bindu (Aksha-abhave) or minimum bindus in that, B.A. Vs, the | natives death be expected. (AM. Jan. 96-Annual) ` - 6) There are quite a few verses in Sanskrit astrological classics who correct import has elnded the grasp of even learned astrological scholars. Jataka Parijata Chap X - V. 64; Ashtakavarga Chap XIV - V. 25; The correct meaning of the verse is as follows : “If the number of bindus (S.A.V.) in each of the house beginning with the 4th house and ending with the 9th, 6.6. including all the six houses) is between 25 to 30, the person will be carried in palanquin bom by men, i.e., will be as rich as Knbera, after completing 28 years of age.” Under the above said conditions only this yoga becomes a rarity, The - --- ## Page 334 ASHTAKAVARGA 299 authors during their study of last 50 years have come across, only 15 horoscopes fulfiling the above conditions laid down. (Astro-Futurology April 96. Madras) (7). Foreign residence is loosely interpreted as staying at a very very + far off place from one’s birth place, may be native’s own country or a foreign country. Uttara Kalamrita considers the 7th house for journeys to foreign country; the 9th for travelling abroad and the 12 for going to foreign lands. Jataka Parijata partially supports these views. Modern astrologers consider the 7th house for foreign journeys; the 9th for long journeys and the 12th for journeys for permanent stay. In short the 7th, the 9th and the 12th houses play an outstanding role to indicate permanent foreign residence. Arrange the S.A.V. bindus of a nativity numerically in a descending order with their house number marked in Roman. The last three houses will have to posses less, lesser and the least bindus. These three houses will he Ain any order forming a pattern as follows : (a) 7th, Oth, 12th; (b) 700, 12th, Oth; (© 9th, 12th, 700; (d) 9th, 7th, 12th; © 12th, 700, Sth; (f) 12th, 9th, 7th; These types of pattern are formed in Charts of many foreign residents.

II involoves a great deal of labour and time especially when ' the number of horoscopes to be considered is large. To minimise this labour and save time, some kind of a simplified and easy-to-operate device. becomes a necessity. The Ashtakavarga plate serves this purpose and one can prepare the Samudayashtakavarga figures in all the bhavas by one setting, at a short time The handy device is fabricated by preparing nine circular plates (of copper, brass, card-board etc.) The smallest one is with a radius of 1 inch and the subsequent ones with 14 in, 1% in, in, and so on so that the largest plate is of 3 in. radius. An axle with a screw arrangement is fitted through the centre of the largest plate and the other plates with perforated centres are passed through this axle, so that they can be turned about it. When all the plates are thus placed with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top, a narrow circular strip near rim of the § plates and the entire smallest piate arg ex- posed. Divide each strip into 12 uniform sectors by thin lines so that when the plates are adjusted for a horoscope, they form a straight line Write down the names of the 12 rasis of the Zodiac in their order, in the 12 sectors of the topmost plate. Place a dot or other identification mark in one of the sectors of the remaining plates to denote the position of the planets related to those plates. 1 the Lagna plate write the bhava order in Roman numerals. In the exposed portion of the next bigger plate put down the figures—1 for the Sun, 2 for the Moon, etc.,—denoting the receiv- ers of benefic points counted from the Sun. For example, the Sun --- ## Page 336 (2) Jupiter and Saturn, each receives a benefic point (marked by a bindu in the chart) in Ist house from the Sun, which is indicated by the figures 1, 5 and 7 in the plate. The 2nd house from the Sun contains 1, 5 and 7 representing the Sun, Jupitetr and Saturn as the receivers from the Sun and so on for the 12 houses from the Sun. In the next circular strip put down the figures . ` denoting the receivers of benefic points from the Moon ; in the next from Mars and so on in the order the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the last plate the lagna (Ref, Parasarahora Uttarakhanda Adhyaya I). To set the plate for any horoscope, keep the bottom plate. i.e., the Lagna fixed and rotate the next plate (relating to Saturn), till the dotted sector representing Saturn is as many houses away from the dotted sector representing the Lagna as Saturn is away from the Lagna in the horoscope by bhava position. Keeping these two plates pressed by the finger, rotate the next plate (relating to Venus) till the dotted sector comes to the same bhava position from the dot in Lagna plate as Venus is in the horoscope. Next rotate the plate of Jupiter, keeping these three fixed and so on with the plates relating to Mercery, Mars, the Moon and the Sun. Finally rotate the topmost plate till the sector containing the name of the rasi reprcsenting the ‘Lagna comes directly over the scctor contdining the Lagna dot. Fix up the plates by tightening the screw at the top. It will be observed that the Lagna and the planets come directiy under the rasis which they occupy in the Bhava or Chalita Horoscope. The Ashtakavarga figures are then noted down in the following manner. The number of ‘l’s in the sector under Mesha sign represents the benefic points received -by the Sun in his Ashtakavarga in the bhava indicated by the Lagna plate. The number of ‘1's in the sector under ~ Vrishabha sign respresents the Sun’s benefic points. in his Ashtakavarga in that bhava indicated and so on. Similarly, the number of ‘2’s in the sectors under each rasi represents the ~ benefic points received by the Moon in her Ashtakavarga, in the respective bhavas. The number of ‘3’ s gives the figures for Mars; --- ## Page 337 3) ` the ‘4’s for Mercury; the ‘5’s for Jupiter ; the 6; s for Venus and the 7; s for saturn in their respective Ashtakavargas. The sum of all these figures (nor numerical sum) under the Mesha ras: gives the Samudayashtakavarga figure in the Mesha bhava ; that under Vrishabha rasi gives the Samudaya figure for that bhava and so on. The following chart shows how the different plates have been adjusted for the Standard Horoscope. All one has to do now is to collect the similar figures in the several plates and their sum, in all the bhavas taking them one after another. For example it is found that in Mithuna (i.c., Ist bhava) there are 4 of ‘I's ; Sof 25:34 ‘3's; 4 of ‘4’s;70f 'Ss;50f ‘6’sand5 of 7's and 33 bindus in ` शा when summed up. This means that the Sun has received 4 bindus the Moon 5 bindus, Mars 3 bindus, --- ## Page 338 4) Mercury 4 bindus, Jupiter 7 bindus, Venus 5 bindus and Saturn 5 bindus in their respective Bhinnashtakavargas in the Ist bhava and their sum 33 bindus is the Samudaya- shtakavarga figure in the Ist bhava. Similarly, the ‘collecting of the Bhinnashtakavarga figures of the planets and the Samudayashtakavarga figures are carried out for the remaining. bhavas. ` Parasara and Varahamihira difer at two places (Ref notes on pages 18 and 20). The figures in square brackets are according to Varahamihira. This book follows the Parasara system. Readers may choose whichever method they prefer. This device set for a horoscope can be used with great facility for plotting the .benefic points (by bindus) in their proper Kakshyas in the Sarvachanchaachakra (Ref. page 64). The plate (consisting of 12 sectors) relating to the Sun represents his Kakshyas (in the 12 bhavas) and the figures represent the planets (in thir numeral order, i.e., 1 for the Sun, 2 for the Moon. etc) receiving bindus from the Sun in their respective Ashtakavargas, For example the Ist house from the Sun contains the figures 1,5 and 7-Plot a bindu in the Kakshya of the Sun in the bhava occupied by him in the Sarvachanchachakra in the 2nd strip (just below the strip showing the names of the Kakshya lords) which represents the Sun's Ashtakavarga ; plot the 2nd bindu in his ‘own Kakshya in the 6th strip from the outermost one, which represents Jupiter's Ashtakavarga, in the same bhava occupied by the Sun and lastly plot the 3rd bindu in his Kakshya in-the 8th strip from the outermost one, which represents Saturn's Ashtakavarga, in that bhava,. In this manner bindus are plotted in the other bhavas in the sun's Kakshyas. They are all in the Sun's Kakshyas in the respec- tive planets’ Ashtrakavargas indicatd by the figures in the remaining eleven sectors in the Sun's plate. Similarly, bindus are placed in their respective Kakshyas in the Ashtrakavarga of the planets indicated by the figures in the plates relting to the Moon, Mars, etc, --- ## Page 339 6) II.

There may be a slight difference between the two methods This happens because the Moon's movement is not uniform throughqut the entire transit over Swati, The other Dasas follow in the order given in the tables.
