Chapter 6. The Sixteen Divisions of a Rāśi
1. O Mahārishi Parāśar, I have known from you about the Grahas, Rāśis and their descriptions. I desire to know the details of various divisions of a Rāśi, will you please narrate.
2-4. Names of the 16 Vargas. Lord Brahma has described 16 kinds of Vargas (Divisions) for each Rāśi. Listen to those. The names are Rāśi, Horā, Drekkan, Chaturthāńś, Saptāńś, Navāńś, Dashāńś, Dvadashāńś, Shodashāńś, Vimshāńś, Chaturvimshāńś, Saptavimshāńś, Trimshāńś, Khavedāńś, Akshavedāńś and Shashtiāńś.
5-6. Rāśi and Horā. The Rāśi, owned by a Graha, is called its Kshetra. The first half of an odd Rāśi is the Hora, ruled by Rabi. While the second half is the Hora of Chandra. The reverse is true in the case of an even Rāśi. Half of a Rāśi is called Hora. These are totally 24, counted from Mesh and repeated twice (at the rate of 12) in the whole of the zodiac.
7-8. Drekkan. One third of a Rāśi is called Drekkan. These are totally 36, counted from Mesh, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rāśis from a Rāśi are its three Drekkanas and are, respectively, lorded by Narada, Agasthya and Durvash.
9. Chaturthāńś. The Lords of the 4 Kendras from a Rāśi are the rulers of respective Chaturthāńś of a Rāśi, commencing from Mesh. Each Chaturthāńś is one fourth of a Rāśi. The deities, respectively, are Sanak, Sanand, Kumar and Sanatan.
10-11. Saptāńś. The Saptāńś (one seventh of a Rāśi) counting commences from the same Rāśi in the case of an odd Rāśi. It is from the seventh Rāśi thereof, while an even Rāśi is considered. The names of the seven divisions in odd Rāśis are Kshaar Ksheer, Dadhi, Ghrith, Ikshu, Ras, Madhya and Suddh Jal. These designations are reversed for an even Rāśi.
12. Navāńś. The Navāńś calculation are for a Movable Rāśi from there itself, for a Fixed Rāśi from the 9th thereof and for a Dual Rāśi from the 5th thereof. They go by designations Deva (divine), Manushya (human) and Rakshasa (devilish) in a successive and repetitive order for a Movable Rāśi. (Manushya, Rakshasa and Deva are the order for a Fixed Rāśi, while Rakshasa, Manushya and Deva are a Dual Rāśi’s order)
13-14. Dashāńś. Starting from the same Rāśi for an odd Rāśi and from the 9th with reference to an even Rāśi, the 10 Dashāńśas, each of 3 degrees, are reckoned. These are presided over by the ten rulers of the cardinal directions, viz. Indra, Agni, Yama, Rakshasa, Varuna, Vayu, Kuber, Isan, Brahma and Ananth in case of an odd Rāśi. It is in the reverse order, that these presiding deities are reckoned, when an even Rāśi is given.
15. Dvadashāńś. The reckoning of the Dvadashāńś (one twelfth of a Rāśi, or 2½ degrees each) commences from the same Rāśi. In each Rāśi the presidentship repeats thrice in the order of Ganesh, Ashvini Kumar, Yama and Sarpa for the 12 Dvadashāńśas.
16. Shodashāńś (or Kalāńś). Starting from Mesh for a Movable Rāśi, from Simha for a Fixed Rāśi and from Dhanu for a Dual Rāśi, the 16 Shodashāńśas (16th part of a Rāśi, i.e. of 1°52’30”) are regularly distributed. The presiding deities of these repeat in the order Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Rabi four times in the case of an odd Rāśi. It is reverse in the case of an even Rāśi, that these ruling deities are understood.
17-21. Vimshāńś. From Mesh for a Movable Rāśi, from Dhanu for a Fixed Rāśi and from Simha for a Common Rāśi: this is how the calculations of Vimshāńśas (1/20th of a Rāśi, or 1°30’ each) are to commence. The presiding deities of the 20 Vimshāńśas in an odd Rāśi are, respectively: Kali, Gauri, Jaya, Lakshmi, Vijaya, Vimal, Sati, Tara, Jvalamukhi, Sveta, Lalita, Bagalamukhi, Pratyangir, Shachi, Raudri, Bhavani, Varad, Jaya, Tripura and Sumukhi. In an even Rāśi these 20 deities, respectively, are Daya, Megha, Chinnasi, Pisachini, Dhumavathi, Matangi, Bal, Bhadr, Arun, Anal, Pingal, Chuchchuk, Ghora, Vaarahi, Vaishnavi, Sita, Bhuvanesvari, BhaiRabi, Mangal and Aparajita.
22-23. Chaturvimshāńś. The Chaturvimshāńś(1/24th part of a Rāśi,or 1°15’each) distribution commences from Simha and Karkat, respectively, for an odd and an even Rāśi. In the case of an odd Rāśi the ruling deities repeat twice in the order of Skand, Parusdhar, Anal, Vishwakarma, Bhag, Mitr, Maya, Antaka, Vrisha-Dwaja, Govinda, Madan and Bhima. Reverse these from Bhima twice to know the deities for the Chaturvimshāńś in an even Rāśi.
24-26. Saptavimshāńś (Nakshatrāńś, or Bhāńś).The Saptavimshāńś Lords are, respectively, the presiding deities of the 27 Nakshatras, as under: Dastra (Ashvini Kumar), Yama, Agni, Brahma, Chandra, Isa, Adhiti, Jiva, Ahi, Pitar, Bhag, Aryama, Rabi, Tvasht, Marut, Chakraagni, Mitr, Vasava, Rakshasa, Varuna, Vishwadeva, Govinda, Vasu, Varuna, Ajap, Ahirbuddhnya and Pushya. These are for an odd Rashi Count these deities in a reverse order for an even Rāśi. The Saptavimshāńś distribution commences from Mesh and other Movable Rāśis for all the 12 Rashi
27-28. Trimshāńś. The Trimshāńś Lords for an odd Rāśi are Mangal, Shani, Guru, Budh and Sukra. Each of them in order rules 5, 5, 8, 7 and 5 degrees. The deities, ruling over the Trimshāńśas, are, respectively, Agni, Vayu, Indra, Kuber and Varuna. In the case of an even Rāśi the quantum of Trimshāńś, Graha lordship and deities get reversed.
29-30. Khavedāńś (or Chatvarimshāńś, 1/40th part of a Rāśi). For odd Rāśis count from Mesh and for an even Rāśi from Tula in respect of Khavedāńśas (each of 45’ of arc). Vishnu, Chandra, Marichi, Tvasht, Dhata, Shiva, Rabi, Yama, Yaksh, Gandharva, Kaal and Varuna repeat successively, as presiding deities, in the same order for all Rashi
31-32. Akshavedāńś (1/45th part of a Rāśi). Mesh, Simha and Dhanu are the Rāśis, from which the distributions, respectively, commence for Movable, Immovable and Common Rashi In Movable Rāśis Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu; in Immovable Rāśis Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma and in Common Rāśis Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva repeat 15 times the presidentship over these Akshavedāńśas.
33-41. Shashtiāńś (1/60th part of a Rāśi, or half a degree each). To calculate the Shashtiāńś Lord ignore the Rāśi position of a Graha and take the degrees etc. it traversed in that Rāśi. Multiply that figure by 2 and divide the degrees by 12. Add 1 to the remainder, which will indicate the Rāśi, in which the Shashtiāńś falls. The Lord of that Rāśi is the Graha,ruling the said Shashtiāńś. In odd Rāśis the names of Shashtiāńśas are
1. Ghora, 2. Rakshasa, 3. Deva, 4. Kuber, 5. Yaksh, 6. Kindar,
7. Bhrasht, 8. Kulaghna, 9. Garal, 10. Vahni, 11. Maya, 12. Purishak,
13. Apampathi, 14. Marutwan, 15. Kaal, 16. Sarpa, 17. Amrit,
18. Indu, 19. Mridu, 20. Komal, 21. Heramba, 22. Brahma, 23. Vishnu,
24. Maheshwara, 25. Deva, 26. Ardr, 27. Kalinas, 28. Kshitees,
29. Kamalakar, 30. Gulik, 31. Mrityu, 32. Kaal, 33. Davagni, 34. Ghora,
35. Yama, 36 Kantak, 37. Suddh, 38. Amrit, 39. PurnaChandra,
40. Vishadagdha, 41. Kulanas, 42. Vamshakshaya, 43. Utpat, 44. Kaal,
45. Saumya, 46. Komal, 47. Sheetal, 48. Karaladamshtr,
49. Chandraamukhi, 50. Praveen, 51. Kaalpavak, 52. Dhannayudh,
53. Nirmal, 54. Saumya, 55. Krur, 56. Atisheetal, 57. Amrit, 58. Payodhi,
59. Brahman, 60. ChandraRekha (InduRekha).
The reverse is the order for even Rāśis in so much, as these names are cased. Grahas in benefic Shashtiāńśas produce auspicious, while the opposite is true in case of Grahas in malefic Shashtiāńśas.
42-53. Varga Classification.
Maitreya, I explained now are the sum effects of classifications of different divisions (or Vargas, so far narrated). These are four kinds, viz. Shad Varga, Sapth Varga, Dasha Varga and Shodasha Varga. In the ShadVarga classification the Varga designations are Kimshuk, Vyanjan, Chamar, Chatr and Kundal, according to a Graha being in 2 to 6 combinations of good Vargas. Next is the Sapth Varga, in which these classifications continue in the same manner up to six combinations of good Vargas, the 7th additional Varga getting classified, as Mukut. In the Dasha Varga scheme the designations commence from Parijata etc., such as 2 good Vargas - Parijatha, 3 Uttama, 4 Gopur, 5 Simhaasan, 6 Paravata, 7 Devaloka, 8 Brahmaloka, 9 Sakravahana and 10 Vargas - Shridham. In the Shodasha Varga scheme the combinations of Vargas go with designations thus: two good Vargas - Bhedak, 3 Kusum, 4 Nagapushpa, 5 Kanduk, 6 Kerala, 7 Kalpa Vriksha, 8 Chandan Vana, 9 PurnaChandra, 10 Uchchaisrava, 11 Dhanvantari, 12 Rabikant, 13 Vidrum, 14 Chakra-Simhaasan, 15 Golok and 16 Vargas - Śrī Vallabh. In these divisions the divisions, falling in the Graha’s exaltation Rāśi, Mooltrikon Rāśi, own Rāśi and the Rāśis, owned by the Lord of a Kendra from the Arudha Lagna, are all to be considered (as good Vargas). The divisions of a combust Graha, defeated Graha, weak Graha and a Graha in bad Avasthas, like Sayan, be all ignored to be auspicious, for these destroy the good Yogas.
Chapter 7. Divisional Considerations
1-8. Use of the 16 Divisions. Now I will explain the use of these sixteen divisions. The physique from Lagna, wealth from Hora, happiness through co-born from Drekkan, fortunes from Chaturthāńś, sons and grandsons from Saptāńś, spouse from Navāńś, power (and position) from Dashāńś, parents from Dvadashāńś, benefits and adversities through conveyances from Shodashāńś, worship from Vimshāńś, learning from Chaturvimshāńś, strength and weakness from Saptavimshāńś, evil effects from Trimshāńś, auspicious and inauspicious effects from Khavedāńś and all indications from both Akshavedāńś and Shashtiāńś: these are the considerations to be made through the respective Vargas. The Bhava, whose Lord is in a malefic Shashtiāńś, will diminish; so say Garga and others. The Bhava, whose Lord is in a benefic Shodashāńś, flourish. This is how the 16 Vargas are to be evaluated.
9-12. After assessing the 20 point strength of the ascending degree, of other Bhavas and of the Grahas, the good and bad effects be declared. I explain below the method of knowing the Vimsopak strength (20 point strength), just by knowing which an idea of the results of actions of this birth and of former birth will clearly emerge. The Grahas from Rabi on get full strength, when in exaltation, or in own Rāśi and are bereft of strength, when in the 7th (from exaltation). In between the strength be known by the rule of three process. In the case of a Graha, owning two Rāśis, distinction of placement in odd/even Rāśi identical with own Rāśi be made.
13-16. Horā, Drekkan and Trimshāńś Effects. Guru, Rabi and Mangal give (pronounced) effects in the Hora of Rabi. Chandra, Sukra and Shani do so, when in Chandra’s Horas; Budh is effective in both the Horas. In the case of an even Rāśi the Hora of Chandra will be powerful in effects, while Rabi’s Hora in an odd Rāśi will be so. Full, medium and nil will be the effects, respectively, in the beginning middle and the end of a Hora. Similar applications be made for a Drekkan, Turyāńś, Navāńś etc. As for Trimshāńś effects, Rabi is akin to Mangal and Chandra is akin to Sukra. The effects, applicable to Rāśi, will apply to Trimshāńś.
17-19. Vimshopak Bal. The Shad Vargas consist of Rāśi, Hora, Drekkan, Navāńś, Dvadashāńś and Trimshāńś. The full Bal for each of the divisions, respectively, are 6, 2, 4, 5, 2 and 1. This is the Vimshopak Bal, relating to Shad Varga division. Adding the Saptāńś to the Shad Vargas, we get Sapt Varga, the Vimshopak Bal for which is 5, 2, 3, 2½, 4½, 2 and 1. These are gross strengths, while subtle ones should be understood by exact positions.
20. Add Dashāńś, Shodashāńś and Shashtiāńś to the said Sapt Varga Divisions to get the scheme of Dasha Varga. The Vimshopak Bal in this context is 3 for Rāśi, 5 for Shashtiāńś and for the other 8 divisions 1½ eaChapter
21-25. When the 16 divisions (Shodash Varga Scheme) are considered together, the Vimshopak score goes thus: Hora 1, Trimsāńś 1, Drekkan 1, Shodashāńś 2, Navāńś 3, Rāśi 3½, Shashtiāńś 4 and the rest of the nine divisions each a half. The Vimshopak Bal remains as 20, only when the Graha is in own Bhava Vargas. Otherwise, the total strength from 20 declines to 18 in Pramudit Vargas, to 15 in Shant Vargas, to 10 in Svasth divisions, to 7 in Duhkhit Vargas and to 5 in Khal Vargas. (These figures are called Varga Vishwa)
26-27. Vimshopak Proportional Evaluation. Multiply the figure due to full strength for the division by the Varga Vishwa and divide by 20 to get the exact strength of the Graha. If the total is below 5, the Graha will not be capable of giving auspicious results. If it is above 5, but below 10, the Graha will yield some good effects. Later on up to 15 it is indicative of mediocre effect. A Graha with above 15 will yield wholly favourable effects.
28-29. Other Sources of Strength. Maitreya, there are other kinds of sources, as I explain below. Grahas in the 7th from Rabi will be fully effective. One with an identical longitude in comparison to Rabi’s will destroy the good effects. Rule of three process be applied to the Graha in between these positions.
30-32. Dasha effects with Vimshopak Bal. Maitreya, after assessing the Vimshopak Bal through the various divisions, the rising and setting of the Grahas be considered. The Vimshopak Bal is classified under Purna, AtiPurna, Madhya, AtiMadhya, Heen, AtiHeen, Swalpa and AtiSwalp. Thus should be classified the Vimshopak Bal and the Dasha period results declared accordingly.
33-36. Kendras, Konas etc. defined. O Maitreya, listen to other matters, which I am explaining. The Kendras are specially known, as Lagna (the ascendent), Bandhu Bhava, Yuvati Bhava (the descendant) and Karma Bhava (mid-heaven). Dhana, Putra, Randhra and Labh Bhava are Panapharas (succedents), while Sahaj, Ari, Dharm and Vyaya Bhava are called Apoklimas (cadents). Putra and Dharm Bhava are known by the name Kon (or trine). Evil Bhavas, or Dusthan Bhavas are Ari, Randhra and Vyaya Bhava. Chaturasras are Bandhu and Randhra Bhava. Sahaj, Ari, Karm and Labh Bhava are Upachaya Bhavas.
37-38. Names of Bhavas. Thanu, Dhan, Sahaj, Bandhu, Putra, Ari, Yuvati, Randhra, Dharm, Karma, Labh and Vyaya are in order the names of Bhavas. I explained these briefly and leave it to you to grasp more, according to your intelligence. As delivered by Lord Brahma, some further information is added thus (i.e. in the following verses).
39-43. Indications from Bhavas. Dharm Bhava and the 9th from Rabi deal with one’s father. Whatever effects are to be known from the Karm and Labh Bhava, be also known from similar Bhavas, counted from Rabi. Whatever results are to be known from Bandhu, Tanu, Dhan, Labh and Dharm should also be known from the 4th of Chandra, from Karkat Rāśi itself and from the 2nd, 11th and 9th from Chandra, respectively. Whatever has to be known through Sahaj Bhava, be also analyzed through the 3rd from Mangal. The 6th from Budh be also considered in regard to indications, derivable from Ari Bhava. The 5th from Guru, the 7th from Sukra and both the 8th and 12th from Shani stand for consideration, respectively, in respect of offspring, spouse and death. The Lord of the Bhava is equally important, when estimating the indications of a particular Bhava.
Chapter 8. Drishtis of the Rāśis
1-3. Rāśi Drishtis. O Maitreya, now detailed are the Drishtis, emanating from the Rāśi Mesh etc. Every Movable Rāśi drishties the 3 Fixed Rāśis, leaving the Fixed Rāśi adjacent to it. Every Fixed Rāśi gives Drishti to the 3 Movable Rāśis, barring the adjacent Movable Rāśi. And a Common Rāśi gives a Drishti to the other three Common Rashi The Graha in a Rāśi gives the same Drishti, as the Rāśi (in which the Graha is) does.
4-5. Dristhis of the Grahas. A Graha in a Movable Rāśi gives a Drishti to the other 3 Fixed Rāśis, leaving the Fixed Rāśi next to it. A Graha in a Fixed Rāśi does not give a Drishti to the next Movable Rāśi, but the remaining 3 Movable Rashi The one in a Common Rāśi gives a Drishti to the remaining 3 Common Rashi Simultaneously a Graha in the Rāśi, that receives a Drishti, is also subjected to the Drishti concerned.
6-9. Diagram of Dristhis. As depicted by Lord Brahma, I now narrate the diagram of Drishtis, so that Drishtis are easily understood by a mere sight of the diagram. Draw a square, or a circle marking the 8 directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof). Mark the zodiacal Rāśis, as under: Mesh and Vrishabh in East, Mithun in the North-East, Karkat and Simha in the North, Kanya in the North-West, Tula and Vrischik in the West, Dhanu in the South-West, Makar and Kumbh in the South and Meen in the South-East.
Addition Santhanam till Chapter 9. The Drishtis (as per the earlier Slokas) can be shown in a square diagram, or circular diagram (as per convenience).
Chapter 9. Evils at Birth
1. O Brahmin, first of all estimate the evils and checking factors thereof through Lagna and then declare the effects of the 12 Bhavas.
2. Evils, causing premature end, exist up to the 24th year of one’s age. As such, no definite calculation of life span should be made till such year of age.
3-6. Short-life Combinations (up to Sloka 23). Should Chandra be in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava and receives a Drishti from a malefic, the child will die soon. If in the process there be a Drishti from a benefic, it may live up to 8. If a benefic is retrograde in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, receiving a Drishti from a malefic, death will occur within a month of birth. This is true, only when Lagna is not occupied by a benefic. Should Putra Bhava be occupied by Shani, Mangal and Rabi jointly, (early) death of mother and brother will come to pass. Mangal, placed in Tanu, or in Randhra Bhava and be yuti with Shani, or Rabi, or receiving a Drishti from a malefic, being bereft of a Drishti from a benefic, will prove a source of (immediate) death.
7-11. If Shani and Mangal give a Drishti to Lagna, as the luminaries are yuti with Rahu (elsewhere), the child will live a fortnight. Immediate death of the child along with its mother will occur, if Shani is in Karm Bhava, Chandra in Ari Bhava and Mangal in Yuvati Bhava. One will immediately go to the abode of Yama, if Shani is in Tanu Bhava, while Chandra and Guru are in their order in Randhra and Sahaj Bhava. Only a month will be the span of one’s life, who had Rabi in Dharm Bhava, Mangal in Yuvati Bhava and Guru and Sukra in Labh Bhava. All Grahas (any Graha) in Vyaya Bhava will be the source of a short life, specifically the luminaries, Sukra and Rahu. But the Drishti of these four Grahas (on Vyaya Bhava) will counteract such evils.
12. Chandra is capable of causing early end, if she is with a malefic in Yuvati, Randhra, or Tanu Bhava and unrelated to a benefic.
13. Early death will come to pass, if there be a birth in the morning, or evening junctions, or in a Hora, ruled by Chandra, or in Gandanta, while Chandra and malefics occupy Kendras from Lagna.
14. Definition of Sandhya. 3 Ghatis before the sight of the semi disc (half) of the rising Rabi and a similar duration, following Rabi’s set, are called, as morning twilight and evening twilight, respectively.
15. Early Death. Should all the malefics be in the oriental half, while benefics are in the occidental half, early death of one born in Vrischik, will follow. In this case there is no need of any rethinking.
16. Malefic in Vyaya and Ari Bhava, or in Randhra and Dhan Bhava, while Lagna is hemmed between other malefics, will bring early death.
17. Malefics, occupying Tanu and Yuvati Bhava, while Chandra is yuti with a malefic with no relief from a benefic, will also cause premature death.
18. Early death will be inflicted on the native, if decreasing Chandra is in Tanu Bhava, while malefics capture Randhra Bhava and a Kendra. There is no doubt about that.
19. Chandra in Tanu, Randhra, Vyaya, or Yuvati Bhava and hemmed between malefics will confer premature death.
20. Should Chandra be in Tanu Bhava, hemmed between malefics, while Yuvati, or Randhra Bhava has a malefic in it, he will face immediate death along with his mother.
21. Should Shani, Rabi and Mangal be in Vyaya, Dharm and Randhra Bhava without Drishti from a benefic, the child will face instant death.
22. With a malefic in Yuvati Bhava, or in the rising Drekkan, while decreasing Chandra is in Tanu Bhava, death be experienced early.
23. The life span of the child will be either 2 months, or 6 months only, if all Grahas devoid of strength are relegated to Apoklima Bhavas.
24. Evils to Mother (up to Sloka 33). The mother of the native will incur evils (will die soon), if Chandra at birth receives a Drishti from three malefics. Benefics, giving a Drishti to Chandra, will bring good to the mother.
25. Should Dhan Bhava be occupied by Rahu, Budh, Sukra, Rabi and Shani, the child’s birth has been after its father’s death, while even the mother will face early death.
26. If Chandra is in the 7th, or the 8th from a malefic, be herself with a malefic and receives a Drishti from a strong malefic, predict mothers end to be early.
27. The child will not live on mother’s milk, but on that of she-goat, if Rabi is exalted, or debilitated in Yuvati Bhava.
28. Should a malefic be in the 4th, identical with an inimical Rāśi, counted from Chandra, while there is no benefic in a Kendra, the child will lose its mother in a premature manner.
29. Malefics in Ari and Vyaya Bhava will bring evils to mother. The child’s father will receive similar effects, if Bandhu and Karm Bhava are captured by malefics.
30. Budh in Dhan Bhava, while malefics occupy Tanu and Vyaya Bhava: this Yogaaa will destroy the entire family.
31. Guru, Shani and Rahu, respectively, posited in Tanu, Dhan and Sahaj Bhava will cause mother’s death early.
32. Doubtlessly the mother will give up the child, if it has malefics in Konas, counted from the decreasing Chandra. No benefic shall be yuti with the said malefics.
33. If Mangal and Shani are together in a Kendra with reference to Chandra and occupy one and the same Navāńś, the child will have two mothers. Yet it will be short-lived.
34. Evil to Father (up to Sloka 42). One’s father will incur early death, if Shani, Mangal and Chandra in their orders are in Tanu, Yuvati and Ari Bhava.
35. The native will at the time of his marriage lose his father, if Guru is in Tanu Bhava, while Shani, Rabi, Mangal and Budh are together in Dhan Bhava.
36. Early loss of father will take place, if Rabi is with a malefic, or is hemmed between malefics, as there is another malefic in the 7th from Rabi.
37. Remote will be the possibility of one’s father sustaining, if Rabi is in Yuvati, while Mangal is in Karm and Rahu is in Vyaya Bhava.
38. Early and troubled will be one’s father’s death, if Mangal is in Karm Bhava identical with his enemy’s Rāśi.
39. Chandra in Ari Bhava, Shani in Tanu Bhava and Mangal in Yuvati Bhava: this array of heavenly bodies at birth will not ensure a long span of life for the father.
40. If Rabi receives a Drishti from Shani and be in Mesh, or in Vrischik Navāńś, the father would have given up the family before birth of the child, or would have passed away.
41. If Bandhu, Karm and Vyaya Bhava are all occupied by malefics, both the parents will leave the child to its own fate and wander from place to place.
42. The father will not see the native till his (the native’s) 23rd year, if Rahu and Guru are together in an inimical Rāśi identical with Tanu, or Bandhu Bhava.
43-45. Parents. Rabi is the indicator of father for all beings, while the mother is indicated by Chandra. Should Rabi receive a Drishti from one, or more malefics, or be hemmed between them, this will cause evils to father. Similarly Chandra be considered in respect of mother. Malefics in the 6th, the 8th, or the 4th from Rabi will bring inauspicious results about the father. Malefics in such places from Chandra will be adverse for the mother. The strength, or otherwise of the occupants concerned be suitably estimated.
Chapter 10. Antidotes for Evils
1. Those are the evils (due to a native). I now narrate the antidotes for such evils as well, which will be helpful to assess the extent of inauspiciousness.
2. Should one among Budh, Guru and Sukra be in an angle from Lagna, all evils are destroyed, as Rabi eliminates darkness.
3. Just as a single reverential obeisance before Lord Shiva, the Trident holder frees one from all sins, a single, but strong Guru in Lagna will ward off all the evils.
4. Lagna Lord is singly capable of counteracting all evils, if he is strongly placed in an angle, just as Lord Shiva, the holder of the Bow destroyed the three cities, built of gold, silver and iron for the demons by Maya.
5. All evils are destroyed, if a benefic drishties Lagna of one born during the night in the bright half. Similarly a malefic’s Drishti on Lagna of one born during day time in the dark half.
6. Rabi in Vyaya will confer a hundred-year life span on one born in Tul Lagna.
7. It will prove auspicious for the mother as well as the native, if Mangal joins, or is drishtied by Guru.
