Chapter---26-- Nasta Jataka

(Lost and Unknown Horoscopes)

Stanza 1:

When a person has no record of his birth time or the time of conception, the birth must be predicted according to the lagna rising at the time of the question. The birth must be predicted in uttarayana or dakshinayana as the first or the second hora in the lagna rises

Stanza 2:

By the rising drekkana in the lagna, Jupiter’s position in 1st, 5th or 9th must be ascertained according to the appearance of the querist. If Sun is in lagna, the birth takes place in Greeshma and so on for other planets as stated before. If the rithu falls in a wrong ayana, then it must be corrected by the position of the Sun

Stanza 3:

If a rithu falls in a wrong ayana, then change Moon, Mercury and Jupiter for Venus, Mars and Saturn respectively. If the first half of a drekkana rises, the first month of the rithu must be predicted, and the day must be proportionately found out

Stanza 4:

The learned Brahmin astrologers predict the tithi by reference to the degree of the Sun. The birth must be predicted reversely in the nocturnal and diurnal signs. By the degrees of the lagna, the birth time must be ascertained

Stanza 5:

Some say that the lunar month has to be made out with reference to the position of the Moon in navamsa. The position of the Moon must be made out by the most powerful among the lagna and trikona or by the touching of the organs, etc. of the querist

Stanza 6:

Moon’s position will be in that rasi which is equal to the number of rasis gained by him from the question lagna. If Moon is in Pisces, then that will be the sign occupied by him at birth. The position of Moon at birth may also be ascertained by the articles of food, by animals and sounds at the question time

Stanza 7:

The birth lagna will be that represented by the rising navamsa at the time of the query or it will be that lagna which, when counted from the question lagna, is similar in number to the drekkanas separating the question lagna from Sun at the time

Stanza 8:

Multiply the longitude of the planet in the lagna or that of the most powerful by chayangula and divide it by twelve. The remainder denotes the number of the birth lagna from Aries or the birth lagna will be the 7th, 4th, 10th or 1st as the querist  is sitting or lying down or rising or standing respectively

Stanza 9:

Taurus and Leo, Gemini and Scorpio, Aries and Libra, Virgo and Capricorn must be multiplied by 10, 8, 7 and 5 respectively. The remaining rasis (signs) must be multiplied by their own number. Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury must be similarly multiplied. The remaining planets must be multiplied like Mercury. This must necessarily be done with the signs. When there’s a planet in the lagna, it must also undergo this multiplication

Stanza 10:

Multiply the result thus obtained by 7, and divide the total (after adding to or subtracting 9 from it) by 27; the remainder shows the number of the star in which the person is born. From the question lagna, the 7th, 3rd, 5th and 6th bhavas may also be indicated and their stars ascertained

Stanza 11:

By multiplying the total mentioned in Stanzas 9 by 10, etc. and also by adding to or subtracting from it and by dividing that by the various figures already given, the year, season, month, lunar day, night and day, constellation, time, ascendant, navamsa, etc. may be ascertained

Stanza 12:

From the total multiplied by 10, the year, season and month have to be found out. From the total multiplied by 8, fortnight and lunar day have to be ascertained

Stanza 13:

Take the total multiplied by 7 and from it, predict the constellation, day and night times

Stanza 14:

Take the total multiplied by 5 and ascertain the time, sign, hora, amsa, etc.

Stanza 15:

Take the matras of the real name, multiply it by two and add to the result the number of chayangulas obtained at the time and divide the total by 27; then, take the remainder and count it from Dhanishta to get the birth constellation of the querist

Stanza 16:

The figures 2, 3, 14, 10, 15, 21, 9 and 8 from the east, etc. must be multiplied by 15 and the number of persons looking in the same direction as the querist must be added to the total and divided by 27; the remainder shows the number of constellations from Dhanishta

Stanza 17:

Various methods have been expounded about lost horoscopes. The real student will accept that which he finds correct after laborious calculations
