Chapter 26. Evaluation of Drishtis of Grahas
1. O Glorious, it is said, that Drishtis (of Grahas) and their strengths are to be known in deciding the effects. How many kinds are these? Please clarify doubts.
2-5. Drishtis of the Grahas. O Brahmin, I have earlier stated Drishtis, based on Rashi. The other kind is between Grahas, which I detail below. 3rd and 10th, 5th and 9th, 4th and 8th and lastly 7th. On these places the Drishtis increase gradually in slabs of quarters, i.e ¼, ½, ¾ and full. The effects will also be proportionate. All Grahas give a Drishti to the 7th fully. Shani, Guru and Mangal have special Drishtis, respectively, on the 3rd and the 10th, the 5th and the 9th and the 4th and the 8th. The ancient preceptors have explained these, which ordinary. By subtle mathematical calculations these Drishtis will have to be clearly understood, as under.
6-8. Evaluation of the Drishtis of the Grahas. Deduct the longitude of the Graha (or Bhava), that receives a Drishti, from that of the Graha, which gives the Drishti. If the sum exceeds six Rashi, deduct the sum again from 10 Rashi Convert the latter sum into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is Drishti Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference is in excess of 5 Rashi, ignore the Rashi and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the Drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4 Rashi, deduct it from 5 Rashi, and the resultant degees etc. become the Drishti value. If the difference is in excess of 3 Rashi, deduct it from 4 Rashi and (increase 30 by) halve the product to get the Drishti value. If the difference is above 2 Rashi, ignore the Rashi and add 15 to the degrees etc. to get the Drishti value. If it is in excess of one Rashi, ignore the Rashi and divide the degrees by 2 to get the Drishti value.
9-10. Special consideration for Shani’s Drishtis. O Brahmin, if Shani is the Graha, that gives a Drishti, find out the difference between him and the Graha, that receives the Drishti; if the sum is above 1 Rashi, multiply the degrees etc. by 2 to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above nine Rashi, the degrees to elapse be doubled to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above 2 Rashi, the degrees etc. be halved and deducted from 60. If the sum exceeds 8 Rashi, add to the degrees etc. a figure of 30 to get the Drishti value. In other cases, the sums are processed, as explained earlier.
11.Special consideration for Mangal’s Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Mangal from that of the Graha, that receives the Drishti. If the sum is 3 Rashi & C, or 7 Rashi & C, the degrees etc. be reduced from 60. If it is above 2 Rashi, the degrees etc. Be increased by half of it and super add 15. If the sum is 6 Rashi, one Rupa is the value.
12. Special consideration for Guru’s Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Guru from that of the Graha, that receives the Drishti from Guru. If the resultant sum is 3 Rashi & C, or 7 Rashi & C, halve the degrees etc. and increase it by 15. It the sum is 4 Rashi & C, or 8 Rashi & C, the degrees etc. be subtracted from 60. This will be the Drishti value. The sum, being in conformity with others than these, be treated, as stated earlier.
Chapter 27. Evaluation Of Strengths
Shad Bala consists of the following: Sthan Bala(positional), Dig Bala(directional), Kaal Bala(Temporal), inclusive of Ayan Bala (equinoctial), Cheshta Bala(motional), Naisargika Bala(Natural), Drik Bala(aspectual). These strengths are computed for the seven Grahas from Rabi to Shani. The “Nodes” are not considered.
Sthan Bala comprises of the following considerations: Uchcha Bala(exaltation), Sapta Vargaj Bala(strength accruing out of positions in Rashi, Hora, Drekkan, Saptangsha,Navamsha, Dvadashangsha and Trisangsha), Ojha yugma Rashi’s Bala (acquired by placement in odd, or even Rashi and in odd, or even Navamsha), Kendra-Aadi Bala(due to placement in Kona, or Panaphara, or Apoklima Bhava), Drekkan Bala (due to placement in first, second, or third decanate of a Rashi).
Kaal Bala comprises of the following subdivisions: Nathonnata Bala(diurnal and nocturnal), Paksha Bala(fortnight),Tribhag Bala (due to day/night being made in 3 parts), Varsha, Maasa, Dina and Hora Bala(Varsh - astrological year, Maasa - month, Dina - weekday and Hora - planetary hour), Ayan Bala(equinoctial), Yudhdha Bala (due to partaking in war between Grahas).
1-1½. Sthan Bala (up to Sloka 6). Firstly Uchcha Bala. Now about the strengths by classes positional, temporal etc. Deduct from the longitude of the Graha its (deep) debilitation point. If the sum is less than 6 Rashi, consider it, as it is; if it exceeds 6 Rashi, deduct the same from 12 Rashi The sum so got be converted into degrees etc. and divided by 3, which is the Graha’s Uchcha Bala in Virupas.
2-4. Sapta Vargaj Bala. If a Graha is in its Mooltrikona Rashi, it gets 45 Virupas, in Swastha Rashi 30 Virupas, in Pramudita Rashi 20 Virupas, in Shanta Rashi 15 Virupas, in Dina Rashi 10 Virupas, in Duhkhita Rashi 4 Virupas and in Khala Rashi 2 Virupas. Similarly these values occur for the other 6 divisional occupations, viz. Hora, Drekkan, Saptangsha, Navamsha, Dvadashangsha and Trisamangsha. When all these are added together the Graha’s Sapta Vargaaj Bala emerges.
4½. Ojha-Yugma Rashi’s Bala. Each of Shukra and Chandra in even Rashi and others in odd Rashi acquire a quarter of Rupa. These are applicable to such Navamsha also.
5. Kendra-Aadi Bala. A Graha in a Kona gets full strength, while one in Panaphara Bhava gets half and the one in Apoklima Bhava gets a quarter, as Kendra-Aadi Bala.
6.Drekkan Bala. Male, female and hermaphrodite Grahas, respectively, get a quarter Rupa according to placements in the first, second and third decanates.
7-7½. Dig Bala. Deduct Bandhu Bhava(Nadir) from the longitudes of Rabi and Mangal, Yuvati Bhava from that of Guru and Budh, Karm Bhava from that of Shukra and Chandra and lastly Lagna from that of Shani. If the sum is above 180 degrees, deduct the sum from 360. The sum arrived in either way be divided by 3, which will be Dig Bala of the Graha.
8-9. Kaal Bala(up to Sloka 17). Firstly Nathonnata Bala. Find out the difference between midnight and the apparent birth time, which is called Unnata. Deduct Unnata from 30 Ghatis to obtain Nata. Double the Nata in Ghatis, which will indicate identical Nata Bala for Chandra, Mangal and Shani. Deduct the Nata from 60 to know the Unnata Bala of Rabi, Guru and Shukra. Budh, irrespective of day and night, gets full Nathonnata Bala.
10-11. Paksha Bala. Deduct from Chandra’s longitude that of Rabi. If the sum exceeds 6 Rashi, deduct the same from 12. The product so obtained be converted into degrees etc. and divided by 3,which will indicate the Paksha Bala of each of the benefic Grahas. The Paksha Bala of benefic should be deducted from 60, which will go to each malefic, as Paksha Bala.
12. Tribagh Bala. One Rupa is obtained by Budh in the first 1/3 part of day time, by Rabi in the second 1/3 part of the day and by Shani in the last 1/3 part of the day. Similarly Chandra, Shukra and Mangal get full Bala in the first, second and last 1/3 parts of the night. Guru gets this Bala at all times.
13. Varsha-Maas-Dina-Hora Bala. 15, 30, 45 and 60 Virupas are in order given to Varsha Lord, Maasa Lord, Dina Lord and Hora Lord. Naisargika Bala has already been explained.
The Varsha Lord is the Lord of the day, on which the astrological year of birth starts. To calculate this we first need the number of days, past from the beginning of Creation, the Ahargana. (According to late Rev. Ebenezer Burgess, who translated Rabi Siddhanta in English, as on January 1, 1860, the number of days, past from the beginning of Creation are 714,404,108,573. Divide the number of days, past from the day of Creation till the day of birth, by 60. Reject remainder and multiply the quotient by 3. Increase the post-multiplied product by 1 and divide by 7. The remainder will indicate the week day, on which the astrological year, giving birth to the native, opened. Remainder 1 indicates Sunday, 2 Monday and so on.)
Masa Lord. Divide the same Ahargan by 30 and the quotient indicates months, passed from Creation to birth. The completed months be multiplied by 2 and increased by 1. The latter sum should be divided by 7 and the remainder indicates, on which day the birth month began. Continuing with the same case, we divide 65295 by 30. Quotient is 2176. This sum multiplied by 2 and increased by 1 denotes 4353. Dividing 4353 by 7, we get a remainder of 6, denoting Friday. That is, the month of birth began on Friday and the Masa Bala goes to Shukra, the Lord of Friday.
Dina Lord. Though the week day of birth can be known from ephemeris, or perpetual calendars, we better adopt the method prescribed, which will confirm, if the Ahargan followed by is correct. The number of days, as arrived above, indicating Ahargan, be divided by 7 and the remainder will indicate the week day of birth.
Hora Bala. Hora means planetary hour. Each day from sunrise to sunrise is divided into 24 equal parts of one hour. These Horas are ruled by the 7 Grahas from Rabi to Shani. The first Hora of the day is ruled by the Lord of the week day. The 2nd one is ruled by the Lord of the 6th week day, counted from the first ruler. The 3rd Hora is ruled by the Lord of the 6th week day, counted from the 2nd Hora Lord. Similarly it proceeds in the same manner, till the first Hora of the next day is taken over by the Lord of that day himself. Whichever Graha rules the birth Hora, gets the Hora Bala. Horas are to be calculated for mean local time (L.M.T.) and not standard time (I.S.T.) of births.
14. Naisargika Bala. Divide one Rupa by 7 and multiply the resultant product by 1 to 7 separately, which will indicate the Naisargika Bala, due to Shani, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Chandra and Rabi, respectively.
15-17. Ayana Bala. 45, 33 and 12 are the Khandas for calculating Ayana Bala. Add Ayanangsha to the Graha and find out the Bhuja (distance from the nearest equinox). Add the figure, corresponding to the Rashi (of the Bhuja) to the Bhuja. The degrees etc. of the Bhuja should be multiplied by the figure, corresponding to the highest of the left out Khandas and divided by 30. Add the resultant product to the sum, obtained earlier. Convert this to Rashi, Degrees, Minutes And Seconds. If Chandra and Shani are in Tula, or ahead, add to this 3 Rashi and, if in Mesha to Kanya, reduce from this 3 Rashi Similarly it is reverse for Rabi, Mangal, Shukra and Guru. For Budh 3 Rashi are always added.The resultant sum in Rashi, degrees and minutes be divided by 3 to get the Ayana Bala in Rupas.
Notes. Ayana Bala can be found out on the following simple formula:
Ayan Bala = 60*(23°27’ + Kranti)/(46°54’) = (23°27’± Kranti)*1.2793.
The following points have to be remembered in respect of Krantis. When Chandra, or Shani have southern Kranti, or, when Rabi, Mangal, Guru, or Shukra have northern Kranti, take plus. In a contrary situation in respect of these 6 Grahas, take minus. As far as Budh is concerned, it is always plus. Krantis (or declinations) can be ascertained from a standard modern ephemeris.
Rabi’s Ayana Bala is again multiplied by 2 whereas for others the product arrived in Virupas is considered, as it is.
18. Motional Strength for Rabi and Chandra. Rabi’s Cheshta Bala will correspond to his Ayan Bala. Chandra’s Paksha Bala will itself be her Cheshta Bala.
19. Drik Bala. Reduce one fourth of the Drishti Pinda, if a Graha receives malefic Drishtis and add a fourth, if it receives a Drishti from a benefic. Super add the entire Drishti of Budh and Guru to get the net strength of a Graha.
20. War Between Grahas. Should there be a war between the starry Grahas, the difference between the Shad Balaas of the two should be added to the victor’s Shad Bala and deducted from the Shad Bala of the vanquished.
21-23. Motions of Grahas (Mangal to Shani). Eight kinds of motions are attributed to Grahas.These are Vakra (retrogression), Anuvakra (entering the previous Rashi in retrograde motion), Vikala (devoid of motion), Manda (somewhat slower motion than usual), Mandatara (slower than the previous), Sama (somewhat increasing in motion), Chara (faster than Sama) and Atichara (entering next Rashi in accelerated motion). The strengths, allotted due to such 8 motions are 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45 and 30.
24-25. Motional Strength for Mangal etc. Add together the mean and true longitudes of a Graha and divide the one by two. Reduce this sum from the Seeghrocha (or apogee) of the Graha. The resultant product will indicate the Cheshta a Kendra (or Seeghr Kendra) of the Graha from 12 Rashi The Rashi, degrees and minutes so arrived should be converted into degrees, minutes etc. and divided by 3, which will denote the motional strength of the Graha. Thus there are six sources of strength, called Sthan Balaa, Dig Balaa, Kaal Balaa, Drik Balaa, Cheshta Balaa and Naisargika Balaa.
26-29. Bhava Balaas. Thus I explained about the strengths of the Grahas. Deduct Yuvati Bhava from the Bhava, if the Bhava happens to be in Kanya, Mithun, Tula, Kumbha, or the first half of Dhanu. If Mesh, Vrishabh, Simha, or first half of Makar, or the second half of Dhanu happen to be the Bhava, deduct Bandhu Bhava from it. Should the Bhava be in Karkat, or in Vrischik, deduct from it Lagna. Deduct Karma Bhava from the Bhava, happening to fall in Makar second half, or Meena. Convert the product so obtained into degrees etc. and divide by 3 to get Bhava Bala. If the Balaance in the process of deducting Nadir, Meridian, Lagna, or Yuvati exceeds 6 Rashi, deduct it again from 12 Rashi, before converting into degrees and dividing by 3. The product after division should be increased by one fourth, if the Bhava in question receives a benefic Drishti. If the Bhava receives a malefic Drishti, one fourth should be reduced. If Guru, or Budh give a Drishti to a Bhava, add that Graha’s Drik Bala also. And then super add the strength, acquired by the Lord of that Bhava. This will be the net Bhava Bala.
30-31. Special Rules. The Bhavas, occupied by Guru and Budh will each get an addition of 1 Rupa, while each of the Bhavas, occupied by Shani, Mangal and Rabi, suffer 1 Rupa reduction. 15 Virupas will have to be added to the Bhavas, falling in Seershodaya Rashi, if birth happens to be in day time, to the Bhavas, falling in Dual Rashi, if birth happens to be in twilight and to the Bhavas, falling in Prishtodaya Rashi, if birth be in night time.
32-33. Shad Bala Requirements. 390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330 and 300 Virupas are the Shad Bala Pindas, needed for Rabi etc. to be considered strong. If the strength exceeds the above-mentioned values, the Graha is deemed to be very strong. If a Graha has the required Shad Bala, it will prove favourable to the native by virtue of its strength.However, Shani’s extreme strength will give long life as well as miseries.
34-36. Guru, Budh and Rabi are strong, if each of their Sthan Bala, Dig Bala, Kaal Bala, Cheshta a Bala and Ayan Bala are, respectively, 165, 35, 50, 112 and 30 Virupas. The same required for Chandra and Shukra are 133, 50, 30, 100 and 40. For Mangal and Shani these are 96, 30, 40, 67 and 20.
37-38. Bhava Effects. O Brahmin, thus the various sources of strengths be gathered together and effects declared. Whatever Yogas, or effects have been stated with respect to a Bhava, will come to pass through the strongest Graha.
39-40. Eligibility of Issue Fruitful Predictions. O Maitreya, the words of one, who has achieved skill in mathematics, one, who has put in industrious efforts in the branch of grammar, one, who has knowledge of justice, one, who is intelligent, one, who has knowledge of geography, space and time, one, who has conquered his senses, one, who is skilfully logical (in estimation) and one, who is favourable to Jyotish, will doubtless be truthfull
Chapter 28. Ishta and Kashta Balas
1. Now I narrate the benefic and malefic tendencies of the Grahas, based on which the Dasha effects can be decided.
2. Exaltation Rays. Deduct the Graha’s debilitation point from its actual position. If the sum exceeds 6 Rashi, deduct from 12 Rashi The said sum should then be increased by 1 Rashi The degrees etc. be multiplied by 2, which, when considered along with Rashi, will indicate the Uchcha Rasmi of the Graha.
3-4. Cheshta Rasmi. Cheshta Rasmis is to be calculated from Cheshta Kendra similar to Uchcha Rasmi computations. The Cheshta Kendra of Grahas from Mangal to Shani have already been explained. Add 3 Rashi to Sayan Rabi (i.e. with Ayanangsa), which will be the Cheshta Kendra for Rabi. The sidereal longitude of Rabi should be deducted from Chandra to get Chandra’s Chesht Kendra a If the Cheshta Kendra (for any Graha) is in excess of 6 Rashi, deduct it from 12 Rashi Add 1 Rashi and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which will indicate the Cheshta Rasmi of the Graha.
5. Benefic and Malefic Rays. Add the Uchcha Rasmis and Cheshta Rasmis together and divide by two. The result will be auspicious rays (Subha Rasmis). Deduct from 8 the Subha Rasmis to obtain inauspicious rays (Asubha Rasmis).
6. Ishta and Kashta Tendencies. Reduce 1 from each of Cheshta Rasmi and Uchcha Rasmi. Then multiply the products by 10 and add together. Half of the sum will represent the Ishta Phala (benefic tendency) of the Graha. Reduce Ishta Phala from 60 to obtain the Graha’s Kashta Phala (malefic tendency).
7-9. Ishta and Kashta and Sapta Varga Phal. 60, 45, 30, 22, 15, 8, 4, 2 and 0 are the Subhankas (Subha Griha Pankthis, benefic points), due to a Graha’s placement, respectively, in exaltation, Mooltrikon, own, great friend’s, friend’s, neutral, enemy’s, great enemy’s and debilitation, Rashi If Subhanka is deducted from 60, Asubhanka (Asubh Pankthi, inauspicious points) will emerge. O Brahmin, in other Vargas these are halved.
10. A Graha is considered auspicious in the first five of the said places. In the sixth place it is neutral, i.e. neither good nor bad. And in the other three places it is inauspicious.
11-12.Nature of Effects, due to Dig Bala etc.The directional strength of a Graha is itself representative of the effects, due to the direction; and Kaal Bala itself is indicative of effects, due to the day. Whatever quantum of Dig Bala etc. are obtained by a Graha, will be the extent of auspicious effects, acquirable on account of that strength. Deducting those figures from 60, the extent of inauspiciousness is known. If auspiciousness is more in the case of a Graha’s strength, the Dasha and Bhavas, related to that Graha will be auspicious. These are converse, if inauspiciousness is predominant.
13-14. Sapta Varga Phal and Isht and Kasht (Continued). The various strengths (i.e. the other 6 Vargas) be multiplied by the respective Graha’s Shad Bala Pinda, which will indicate the auspiciousness of the Varga concerned. Auspicious,or inauspicious aspect will be by multiplying the Subh, or Asubh Pankthi. Similarly auspicious, or inauspicious effects will be known by multiplying the auspicious, or inauspicious strength by the respective Pankthi.
15-20. Effects of a Bhava. The strength of a Bhava and its Lord have already been explained. The actual effects will be a combination of Bhava strength and its Lord’s strength. If there is a benefic in the Bhava add the same to the auspicious effects and deduct from inauspicious effects, which will denote the inauspicious effects. If a malefic is in the Bhava, reverse the process, i.e. add inauspicious effects and deduct auspicious effects. Similarly Drishtis and Balaas. If a Graha is exalted, or with such a dignity, add auspicious effects and reduce inauspicious effects. For debilitation etc. it is converse. In Ashtak Varga add Bindus (auspicious points) and deduct Karanas (inauspicious points). If a Bhava extends to two Rashi, the rectification will be done, as per both the Lords. In that case, whichever Rāśi has more Bindus, that Rāśi will yield more favourable results, concerning that Bhava. If both the Rashi have more auspicious Bindus, take the average. Thus the auspicious and inauspicious effects of a Bhava be understood
1-3. Method of Bhava Calculation. O Brahmin, I shall now tell you about the Padas (Arudhas) for Bhavas and Grahas as well, as laid down by the earlier Maharishis. The Pad of Lagna will correspond to the Rāśi, arrived at by counting so many Rashi from Lagna’s Lord, as he is away from Tanu Bhava. Similarly Padas for other Bhavas be known through their Lords. The word “Pad” exclusively denotes the Pad for Lagna.
Names of the 12 Arudhas are Lagna Pad - Arudh of Tanu Bhava, Dhan of Dhan, Vikram (Bhratru) of Sahaj, Matru (Sukh) of Bandhu, Mantra (Putra) of Putra, Rog (Satru) of Ari, Dar (Kalatr) of Yuvati, Maran of Randhra, Pitru of Dharm Bhava, Karm of Karm, Labh of Labh, Vyaya of Vyaya.
4-5. Special Exceptions. The same Bhava, or the 7th from it does not become its Pad. When the Pad falls in the same Bhava, the 10th therefrom be treated, as its Pad. Similarly, when the 7th becomes the Pad of a Bhava, the 4th from the original Bhava in question be treated, as its Pad. If the ruler of a Bhava be in the 4th from the Bhava, then the very Bhava occupied be noted, as the Pad.
6-7. Padas for Grahas. Note the position of a Graha and see how many Rashi away is its own Rāśi with reference to its position. Count so many Rashi from the said own Rāśi and the resultant Rāśi will become the Arudh of the Graha. If a Graha owns two Rashi, or, if a Rāśi is owned by two Grahas; consider the stronger and declare effects accordingly.
8-11. Pad and Finance (up to Sloka 15). O Brahmin, I now tell you of some effects of Grahas, based on Pad. If the 11th from Lagna Pad is occupied, or receives a Drishti from a Graha the native will be happy and rich; wealth will come through various means, if a benefic is related, as above. A malefic will confer wealth through questionable means. If there be both a benefic and a malefic, it will be through both means. If the Graha in question be in exaltation, or in own Rāśi etc., there will be plenty of gains and plenty of happiness.
12. O excellent of the Brahmins, if the 12th from Lagna Pad does not receive a Drishti, as the 11th from Lagna Pad receives a Drishti from a Graha, then the gains will be uninterrupted.
13-15. O Brahmin, the quantum of gains will correspond to the number of Grahas in, or giving a Drishti to the 11th from Lagna Pad. If there is Argala for the said 11th, there will be more gains, while a benefic Argala will bring still more gains. If the said benefic, causing Argala is in his exaltation Rāśi, the gains will be still higher. If the said 11th receives a Drishti from a benefic from Lagna, the 9th etc., gains will increase in the ascending order. In all these cases, the 12th from Pad should simultaneously be free from malefic association. A benefic, placed in Lagna, giving a Drishti to the 11th from Arudh Lagna will be still beneficial. If the Drishti is from the 9th from Lagna, it will confer much more gains.
16-17. Pad and Financial Losses (up to Sloka 21). If the 12th from Lagna Pad receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with both benefics and malefics, there will be abundant earnings, but plenty of expenses. The benefic will cause through fair means, malefic through unfair means and mixed Grahas through both fair and unfair means.
18. If the 12th from Lagna Pad is conjunct Rabi, Shukra and Rahu, there will be loss of wealth through the king. Chandra, giving a Drishti to (the said trio in the said Bhava), will specifically cause more such losses.
19. If Budh is in the 12th from Lagna Pad and is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, similarly there will be expenses through paternal relatives. A malefic so related to the said Budh will cause loss of wealth through disputes.
20. O Brahmin, if Guru is in the 12th from Lagna Pad, receiving a Drishti from others, the expenses will be through taxes and on the person himself.
21. O Brahmin, if Shani is in the 12th from Lagna Pad along with Mangal and receives a Drishti from others, the expenses will be through one’s co-born.
22. Gainful Sources. Whatever sources of expenses are indicated above with reference to the 12th from Lagna Pad, gains through similar sources will occur, if Labh Bhava so features with reference to Lagna Pad.
23. The 7th Bhava from Pad (up to Sloka 27). If Rahu, or Ketu is placed in the 7th from Lagna Pad, the native will be troubled by disorders of the stomach, or by fire.
24. Should there be Ketu in the 7th from Lagna Pad, receiving a Drishti from, or being yuti with another malefic, the native will be adventurous, will have (prematurely) grey hair and a big male organ.
25. Should one, two, or all three of Guru, Shukra and Chandra be in the 7th from Lagna Pad, the native will be very wealthy.
26. Whether a benefic, or a malefic, if be exalted in the 7th from Lagna Pad, the native will be affluent and be famous.
27. O Brahmin, these Yogas, as narrated by me with reference to the 7th from Lagna Pad, should also be considered from the 2nd of Lagna Pad.
28. Anyone of Budh, Guru and Shukra being exalted in the 2nd from Lagna Pad and being with strength will make the subject richer
29. The Yogas so far stated by me with reference to Lagna Pad be similarly evaluated from Karakāńś as well.
30-37. General. If Budh is in the 2nd from Arudh Lagna, the native will Lord over the whole country. Shukra in the 2nd from Lagna Pad will make one a poet, or a speaker. If the Dar Pad falls in an angle, or in a trine, counted from Lagna Pad, or, if Lagna Pad and Dar Pad both have strong Grahas, the native will be rich and be famous in his country. If the Dar Pad falls in the 6th/ 8th/12th from Lagna Pad, then the native will be poor. If Lagna Pad and the 7th therefrom, or an angle, a trine, an Upachaya therefrom is occupied by a strong Graha, there will be happiness between the husband and wife. If Lagna Pad and Dar Pad are mutually in Kendraa aas, or Konas, there will be amity between the couple. If these be in mutually 6th/8th/12th, doubtlessly mutual enmity will crop up. O Brahmin, similarly mutual relationship, or gain, or loss through son etc. be known, based on Lagna Pad and the relative Bhava Pad. If Lagna Pad and Dar Pad are mutually angular, or 3rd and 11th, or in Konas, the native will be a king, ruling the earth. Similar deductions be made with reference to mutual positions of Lagna Pad and Dhan Pad.
Chapter 30. Upa Pad
1-6. O Brahmin, now I tell you about Upa Pad, the auspiciousness of which will confer on the native happiness from progeny, wife etc. The Pad of Lagna, as discussed earlier, is of prime importance. Upa Pad is calculated for the Bhava, following the natal Lagna. This Upa Pad is also called Gaun Pad. O excellent of the Brahmins, if Upa Pad is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic Graha, one will obtain full happiness from progeny and spouse. Should the Upa Pad be in a malefic’s Rāśi, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a malefic, one will become an ascetic and go without a wife. If (in the said circumstances) there be a benefic Drishti (on Upa Pad, or the related malefic), or a yuti, deprival of spouse will not come to pass. In this case Rabi, being exalted, or in a friendly Rāśi, is not a malefic. He is a malefic, if in debilitation, or in an enemy’s Rashi.
Notes. Regarding Upa Pad calculations, there are more than two views on the same Sloka of Maharishi Parashar, or an identical Sutra from Jaimini. In this text, the word ‘Anuchar’ is used, which denotes ‘the Bhava, following the Lagna at birth’. Normally this is Vyaya Bhava. However, when we study other commentaries on Jaimini (Chaukhambh Hindi edition), we are taught, that it is Vyaya Bhava in the case of an odd Rāśi ascending and it is Dhan Bhava in the case of an even Rāśi ascending. Accordingly the Pad for the 12th, or the 2nd from Lagna is called Upa Pad. In calculating Upa Pad the rules mentioned in verses 4 and 5 of the previous chapter be kept in mind.
7-12. Effect from the 2nd from Upa Pad. If the 2nd from Upa Pad is a benefic Rāśi, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a benefic, the same good results (as for wife and sons) will come to pass. If there is a Graha in the 2nd from Upa Pad in its debilitation Rāśi, or debilitation Ańś, or is yuti with a debilitated, or malefic Graha, there will be destruction of wife. If the said occupant be in its exaltation Rāśi, or Navāńś, or receives a Drishti from another Graha, there will be many charming and virtuous wives. Oh Brahmin, if Mithun happens to be the 2nd from Upa Pad, then also there will be many wives. O excellent of the Brahmins, if the Upa Pad, or the 2nd therefrom be occupied by its own Lord, or, if the said Lord is in his other own Bhava, the death of wife will be at advanced age.
13-15. Wife from the 2nd of Upa Pad (up to Sloka 22). If a Graha being constant indicator of wife (i.e. the 7th Lord, or Shukra ) is in its own Bhava, there will be loss of wife only at a later stage. If the Lord of Upa Pad, or the constant significator of wife is in exaltation, the wife will be from a noble family. Reverse will be the case, if he is debilitated. O Brahmin, if the 2nd from Upa Pad is related to a benefic, the wife will be beautiful, fortunate and virtuous.
16. Should Shani and Rahu be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, the native will lose his wife on account of calumny, or through death.
17. The native’s wife will be troubled by disorder of blood, leucorrhoea (Pradar) etc., if Shukra and Ketu are in the 2nd from Upa Pad.
18. Budh with Ketu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will cause breakage of bones, while Rahu, Shani and Rabi will cause distress of bones.
19-22. Budh and Rahu in the 2nd from Upa Pad will give a stout-bodied wife. If the 2nd from Upa Pad happens to be one of Budh’s Rashi and is tenanted by Mangal and Shani, the wife of the native will suffer from nasal disorders. Similarly a Rāśi of Mangal, becoming the 2nd from Upa Pad and occupied by Mangal and Shani, will cause nasal disorders to one’s wife. Guru and Shani will, if be in the 2nd from Upa Pad, cause disorders of ears and/or eyes to the wife. If Budh and Mangal are placed in the 2nd from Upa Pad other than their own Rashi, or, if Rahu is with Guru in the 2nd from Upa Pad, the native’s wife will suffer from dental disorders. Shani and Rahu together in one of Shani’s Rashi, which is the 2nd from Upa Pad, will cause lameness, or windy disorders to the native’s wife. These evils will not come to pass, if there happens to be a Yuti with, or a Drishti from a benefic (or from another benefic in the case of affliction being caused by a benefic himself).
23-23½. O Brahmin, all these effects be deduced from the natal Lagna, Lagna Pad, the 7th from Upa Pad and the Lords thereof. So say Narada and others.
25-28. About Sons. If Shani, Chandra and Budh are together in the 9th from one of the said places (Sloka 23), there will be no son at all, while Rabi, Guru and Rahu so placed will give a number of sons. Chandra so placed will give a son, while a mixture of Grahas will delay the obtainment of a son. The son, caused by the Yuti of Rabi, Guru and Rahu, will be strong, valorous, greatly successful and will destroy enemies. If Mangal and Shani are in the said 9th, there will be no son, or a son will be obtained by adoption, or brother’s son will come in adoption. In all these cases odd Rashi will yield many sons, while even Rashi will cause only a few.
29-30. Many Sons and Many Daughters. O Brahmin, if Simha happens to be Upa Pad and receives a Drishti from Chandra, there will be a limited number of children. Similarly Kanya will cause many daughters.
31. Co-born form Lagna Pad (up to Sloka 36). Rahu and Shani in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagna Pad will destroy the co-born of the native. Rahu and Shani in the 11th will indicate the destruction of elder brothers and/or sisters and in the 3rd younger ones.
32. If Shukra is in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagna Pad, there would have been an abortion to the mother earlier. Same is the effect, if Shukra is in the 8th from natal Lagna, or from Lagna Pad.
33-36. These are the effects, o Brahmin, as stated by Maharishis for the 3rd and the 11th from Lagna Pad. Should Chandra, Guru, Budh and Mangal be in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagna Pad, there will be many valorous co-born. Should Shani and Mangal be in the 3rd, or the 11th from Lagna Pad, or give Drishtis thereto, younger and elder co-born will, respectively, be destroyed. If Shani is alone in one of the said Bhavas, the native will be spared, while the co-born will die. Ketu in the 3rd, or the 11th will give abundant happiness from one’s sisters.
37. Other Matters from Lagna Pad (up to Sloka 43). If the 6th from Lagna Pad is occupied by a malefic and is bereft of a Yuti with, or a Drishti from a benefic, the native will be a thief.
38. If Rahu is in the 7th, or the 12th from Lagna Pad, or gives a Drishti to one of the said Bhavas, the native will be endowed with spiritual knowledge and be very fortunate.
39. If Budh is in Lagna Pad, the native will Lord over a whole country, while Guru will make him a knower of all things. Shukra in this context denotes a poet/speaker (also see Chapter 29, verse 30).
40. O excellent of the Brahmins, if benefics occupy the 2nd from Upa Pad, or from Lagna Pad, the native will be endowed with all kinds of wealth and be intelligent.
41. One will surely become a thief, if the Lord of the 2nd from Upa Pad is in Dhan Bhava and is there yuti with a malefic Graha.
42-43. O Brahmin, if Rahu is in the 2nd from the Lord of the 7th, counted from Upa Pad, the native will have long and projected teeth. Ketu in the 2nd from the Lord of the 7th, counted from Upa Pad, will cause stammering and Shani in the 2nd from the Lord of the 7th, counted from Upa Pad, will make one look ugly. Mixed will be the effects, if there are mixed Grahas.
