BRIHAT JATAKA --- CHAPTER 6 & 7 (VEDIC-ASTRO-CLASSIC)
By The Great Sage VARAHA MIHIRA
Chapter-- 6 -- Valarishta (Early Death/Childhood Death)
Stanza 1: |
Children born during sandhi or when birth is in Chandra hora, when evil planets occupy the ends of signs or when four malefics (including Moon) occupy quadrants, will die |
Stanza 2: |
If cruel and benefic planets occupy the first and the second halves of the zodiac respectively and the birth rises in an insect rasi or if the birth and the 7th are placed between malefics, the child dies straightaway |
Stanza 3: |
If malefics occupy birth and 7th and if Moon joins cruel planets, unaspected by benefics, the child dies quickly |
Stanza 4: |
If a weak Moon occupies the 12th with malefics in the birth and the 8th without benefics in quadrants, the child dies soon |
Stanza 5: |
If Moon joins a malefic and occupies the 7th, 8th or 12th and when benefics aren’t in quadrants and don’t aspect these, the child dies |
Stanza 6: |
If Moon occupies 6th or 8th aspected by malefics, early death comes. If such Moon has beneficial aspects, the child dies before 8. If such Moon ahs mixed aspets, the child lives for 4 years. If a benefic occupies the 6th or 8th aspected by powerful malefics, the child lives for a month. If the lord of the birth joins the 7th and suffers defeat there by malefics, similar results must be predicted |
Stanza 7: |
If a weak Moon joins the lagna with malefics in the 8th or quadrants, or if Moon is betwixt malefics occupying the 4th, 7th or 8th, the child dies. If Moon is in lagna as above stated, malefics in the 7th and 8th without the aspect of powerful benefics, the mother and child both die |
Stanza 8: |
If Moon occupies the last navamsa of the sign and malefics are in the 5th and 9th without beneficial aspects, or if lagna joins Moon with malefics in the 7th, the child dies immediately |
Stanza 9: |
If Moon joins a malefic in lagna, eclipsed with Mars in the 8th, both mother and child die. Similarly, if Sun is in lagna, death results from weapons. If Moon or Sun occupy the lagna with powerful malefics in trines and the 8th, unassociated with benefics, the child dies. |
Stanza 10: |
If Saturn, Sun, Moon and Mars occupy the 12th, 9th, lagna and 8th respectively, unaspected by a powerful Jupiter, the child dies quickly |
Stanza 11: |
If Moon is with malefics and occupies a trine, 7th, 8th or 12th and not aspected by or combined with a powerful Venus, Mercury or Jupiter, death comes early |
Stanza 12: |
If Moon in transit joins the house of the most powerful malefic in the above yogas or joins his own place, or the lagna, when he’s strong and has strong malefic aspects, he causes death to the child within one year |
BRIHAT JATAKA
By The Great Sage Varaha Mihira
Chapter --7-- Ayurdaya (Longevity of A Native)
Stanza 1: |
Sun, in deep exaltation give 19, Moon 25, Mars 15, Mercury 12, Jupiter 15, Venus 21 and Saturn 20 years of life respectively according to Maya, Yavana, Manitha and Saktipurva. |
Stanza 2: |
Where a planet is debilitated he cuts away half of the term of life and in the middle rashis he give terms of life as per rule of three. The lagna is supposed to give that number of years, which is represented by its amsha, while others say the number will be similar to the rasi. A planet in an unfriendly sign cuts one-third of his term unless he is retrograde. The combust planets except Venus and Saturn, cut off half their term of life. |
Stanza 3: |
Evil planets in the 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th, and 7th away 1, ½, 1/3, ¼, 1/6 and 1/8th of the term of life allotted to them respectively. If benefics occupy the same houses, they take away only one half of that which the malefics do.
Satyacharya says that, if there are many planets in anyone of the houses, only the most powerful among them will eat the proportion of life granted by it. |
Stanza 4: |
If an evil planet occupies the birth the number of amshas, etc., passed by the lagna must be multiplied by the total of the planetary terms of years, etc., and then divided by 108, and deducted from the total term of life the figure thus obtained. If a benefic aspects the above conjunction, half of this must be deducted. |
Stanza 5: |
Men and elephants have 60 x 2 years as terms of life and 5 days more. Horses live 32 years. Camels and asses 25 years. Buffaloes and bullocks live 24 years. Dogs have 12 years. Goats etc., 16 years. |
Stanza 6: |
If the last navamsa of Meena becomes lagna. If Mercury is in the 25th minute in Vrisha and if all the rest are in their deep exaltations, the person gets the utmost limit of life, viz., 120 years and 5 days. |
Stanza 7 & 8 |
Vishnugupta, Devaswami and Siddhasena have given similar longevity. There is one serious objection to the acceptance of their theory, because according to them, no children can die above 8 and below 20 years which is absurd. They have further stated that those who have this longevity will also become emperors. This is erroneous as many men live long and still be beggars. |
Stanza 9: |
Jeevasarma says, on his own responsibility, that each of the planets gives one-seventh of the period of the longevity stated above. Satyacharya says that each planet gives that term of life which is indicated by the navamsa he occupies. This seems to be approved of by many astrological experts. |
Stanza 10: |
Convert the intended planet’s position into kalas; divide this by 200; the quotient, if divisable, divided by 12 represents years, etc. |
Stanza 11: |
A planet in exaltation or retrogression will give 3 times the term of his life. If he is in Vargottama or in his own house or navamsa or drekkana he gives double the period. This is the speciality named by Satyacharya. |
Stanza 12: |
Lagna gives similar number of years as it has advance in the navamsa. If it is very powerful it will give similar to the rasi. If a malefic is in lagna no deduction should be made on this account. Do not take the terms of life granted by the planets as stated before. |
Stanza 13: |
Satyacharya’s system is excellent, but many have spoiled it by useless multiplication. Whenever two or three figures are to be multiplied, then multiply it by that figure which are presents the strongest factors. |
Stanza 14: |
If birth falls in Kataka and Guru and Chandra are in it, Budha and Sukra in the kendras, the rest in 3-6-11 the person lives very long and mathematical calculations for longevity do not apply to such a combination. |
