Ch. 27. Evaluation Of Strengths

Shad Bal consists of the following: Sthan Bal (positional), Dig Bal (directional), Kaal Bal (Temporal), inclusive of Ayan Bal (equinoctial), Chesht Bal (motional), Naisargika Bal (natural), Drik Bal (aspectual). These strengths are computed for the seven Grahas from Sūrya to Śani. The nodes are not considered.



Sthan Bal comprises of the following considerations: Uchch Bal (exaltation), Sapt Vargaj Bal (strength accruing out of positions in Rāśi, Hora, Dreshkan, Saptāńś, Navāńś, Dvadashāńś and
Trimshāńś), OjhayugmaRāśiāńś Bal (acquired by placement in odd, or even Rāśi and in odd, or even Navāńś), Kendradi Bal (due to placement in Kon, or Panaphara, or Apoklima Bhava), Dreshkan Bal (due to placement in first, second, or third decanate of a Rāśi).



Kaal Bal comprises of the following subdivisions: Nathonnata Bal (diurnal and nocturnal), Paksh Bal (fortnight), Tribhag Bal (due to day/night being made in 3 parts), Varsh, Maas, Dina and Hora Bal (Varsh - astrological year, Maas - month, Dina - weekday and Hora - planetary hour), Ayan Bal (equinoctial), Yudhdh Bal (due to partaking in war between Grahas).



1-1½. Sthan Bal (up to Sloka 6). Firstly Uchch Bal. Now about the strengths by classes positional, temporal etc. Deduct from the longitude of the Grah its (deep) debilitation point. If the sum is less than 6 Rāśis, consider it, as it is; if it exceeds 6 Rāśis, deduct the same from 12 Rāśis. The sum so got be converted into degrees etc. and divided by 3, which is the Grah’s Uchch Bal in Virupas.



2-4. Sapt Vargaj Bal. If a Grah is in its Mooltrikon Rāśi, it gets 45 Virupas, in Svasth Rāśi 30 Virupas, in Pramudit Rāśi 20 Virupas, in Shant Rāśi 15 Virupas, in Din Rāśi 10 Virupas, in Duhkhit Rāśi 4 Virupas and in Khal Rāśi 2 Virupas. Similarly these values occur for the other 6 divisional occupations, viz. Hora, Dreshkan, Saptāńś, Navāńś, Dvadashāńś and Trimshāńś. When all these are added together the Grah’s Sapt Vargaj Bal emerges.



4½. OjhayugmaRāśiāńś Bal. Each of Śukr and Candr in even Rāśis and others in odd Rāśis acquire a quarter of Rupa. These are applicable to such Navāńśas also.



5. Kendradi Bal. A Grah in a Kon gets full strength, while one in Panaphara Bhava gets half and the one in Apoklima Bhava gets a quarter, as Kendradi Bal.



6. Dreshkan Bal. Male, female and hermaphrodite Grahas, respectively, get a quarter Rupa according to placements in the first, second and third decanates.



7-7½. Dig Bal. Deduct Bandhu Bhava (Nadir) from the longitudes of Sūrya and Mangal, Yuvati Bhava from that of Guru and Budh, Karm Bhava from that of Śukr and Candr and lastly Lagn from that of Śani. 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 Bal of the Grah.



8-9. Kaal Bal (up to Sloka 17). Firstly Nathonnata Bal. 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 Bal for Candr, Mangal and Śani. Deduct the Nata from 60 to know the Unnata Bal of Sūrya, Guru and Śukr. Budh, irrespective of day and night, gets full Nathonnata Bal.



10-11. Paksh Bal. Deduct from Candr’s longitude that of Sūrya. If the sum exceeds 6 Rāśis, deduct the same from 12. The product so obtained be converted into degrees etc. and divided by 3, which will indicate the Paksh Bal of each of the benefic Grahas. The Paksh Bal of benefic should be deducted from 60, which will go to each malefic, as Paksh Bal.



12. Tribagh Bal. One Rupa is obtained by Budh in the first 1/3 part of day time, by Sūrya in the second 1/3 part of the day and by Śani in the last 1/3 part of the day. Similarly Candr,Śukr and Mangal get full Bal in the first, second and last 1/3 parts of the night. Guru gets this Bal at all times.



13. Varsh-Maas-Dina-Hora Bal. 15, 30, 45 and 60 Virupas are in order given to Varsh Lord, Maas Lord, Dina Lord and Hora Lord. Naisargika Bal has already been explained.



The Varsh 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 Ahargan. According to late Rev. Ebenezer Burgess, who translated Sūrya 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.



Maas 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 Maas Bal goes to Śukr, 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 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 Bal. 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 Sūrya to Śani. 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 Grah rules the birth Hora, gets the Hora Bal. Horas are to be calculated for mean local time and not standard time of births.



14. Naisargika Bal. Divide one Rupa by 7 and multiply the resultant product by 1 to 7 separately, which will indicate the Naisargika Bal, due to Śani, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Śukr, Candr and Sūrya, respectively.



15-17. Ayan Bal. 45, 33 and 12 are the Khandas for calculating Ayan Bal. Add Ayanāńś to the Grah and find out the Bhuja (distance from the nearest equinox). Add the figure, corresponding to the Rāśi (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 Rāśi, degrees, minutes and seconds. If Candr and Śani are in Tula, or ahead, add to this 3 Rāśis and, if in Mesh to Kanya, reduce from this 3 Rāśis. Similarly it is reverse for Sūrya, Mangal, Śukr and
Guru. For Budh 3 Rāśis are always additive. The resultant sum in Rāśi, degrees and minutes be divided by 3 to get the Ayan Bal in Rupas.



Notes. Ayan Bal can be found out on the following simple formula: Ayan Bal = 60*(23°27’ + Kranti)/(46°54’) = (23°27’± Kranti)*1.2793.

The following points have to be remembered in respect of Krantis. When Candr, or Śani have southern Kranti, or, when Sūrya, Mangal, Guru, or Śukr 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.



Sūrya’s Ayan Bal is again multiplied by 2 whereas for others the product arrived in Virupas is considered, as it is.



18. Motional Strength for Sūrya and Candr. Sūrya’s Chesht Bal will correspond to his Ayan Bal. Candr’s Paksh Bal will itself be her Chesht Bal.



19. Drik Bal. Reduce one fourth of the Drishti Pinda, if a Grah 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 Grah.



20. War Between Grahas. Should there be a war between the starry Grahas, the difference between the Shad Balas of the two should be added to the victor’s Shad Bal and deducted from the Shad Bal of the vanquished.



21-23. Motions of Grahas (Mangal to Śani). Eight kinds of motions are attributed to Grahas. These are Vakr (retrogression), Anuvakr (entering the previous Rāśi in retrograde motion), Vikal (devoid of motion), Mand (somewhat slower motion than usual), Mandatar (slower than the previous), Sama (somewhat increasing in motion), Char (faster than Sama) and Atichar (entering next Rāśi 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 Grah and divide the one by two. Reduce this sum from the Seeghroch (or apogee) of the Grah. The resultant product will indicate the Chesht Kendra (or Seeghr Kendra) of the Grah from 12 Rāśis. The Rāśi, degrees and minutes so arrived should be converted into degrees, minutes etc. and divided by 3, which will denote the motional strength of the Grah. Thus there are six sources of strength, called Sthan Bal, Dig Bal, Kaal Bal, Drik Bal, Chesht Bal and Naisargika Bal.



26-29. Bhava Balas. 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, Kumbh, or the first half of Dhanu. If Mesh, Vrishabh, Simh, 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 Kark, or in Vrischik, deduct from it Lagn. Deduct Karm Bhava from the Bhava, happening to fall in Makar second half, or Meen. Convert the product so obtained into degrees etc. and divide by 3 to get Bhava Bal. If the balance in the process of deducting Nadir, Meridian, Lagn, or Yuvati exceeds 6 Rāśis, deduct it again from 12 Rāśis, 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 Grah’s Drik Bal also. And then superadd the strength, acquired by the Lord of that Bhava. This will be the net Bhava Bal.



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 Śani, Mangal and Sūrya, suffer 1 Rupa reduction. 15 Virupas will have to be added to the Bhavas, falling in Seershodaya Rāśis, if birth happens to be in day time, to the Bhavas, falling in Dual Rāśis, if birth happens to be in twilight and to the Bhavas, falling in Prishtodaya Rāśis, if birth be in night time.



32-33. Shad Bal Requirements. 390, 360, 300, 420, 390, 330 and 300 Virupas are the Shad Bal Pindas, needed for Sūrya etc. to be considered strong. If the strength exceeds the above-mentioned values, the Grah is deemed to be very strong. If a Grah has the required Shad Bal, it will prove favourable to the native by virtue of its strength. However, Śani’s extreme strength will give long life as well as miseries.



34-36. Guru, Budh and Sūrya are strong, if each of their Sthan Bal, Dig Bal, Kaal Bal, Chesht Bal and Ayan Bal are, respectively, 165, 35, 50, 112 and 30 Virupas. The same required for Candr and Śukr are 133, 50, 30, 100 and 40. For Mangal and Śani 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 Grah.



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 truthful.

Ch. 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 Rāśis. 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. Śani, 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 Grah (or Bhava), that receives a Drishti, from that of the Grah, which gives the Drishti. If the sum exceeds six Rāśis, deduct the sum again from 10 Rāśis. 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 Rāśis, ignore the Rāśis and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the Drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4 Rāśis, deduct it from 5 Rāśis, and the resultant degees etc. become the Drishti value. If the difference is in excess of 3 Rāśis, deduct it from 4 Rāśis and (increase 30 by) halve the product to get the Drishti value. If the difference is above 2 Rāśis, ignore the Rāśis and add 15 to the degrees etc. to get the Drishti value. If it is in excess of one Rāśi, ignore the Rāśis and divide the degrees by 2 to get the Drishti value.


9-10. Special consideration for Śani’s Drishtis. O Brahmin, if Śani is the Grah, that gives a Drishti, find out the difference between him and the Grah, that receives the Drishti; if the sum is above 1 Rāśi, multiply the degrees etc. by 2 to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above nine Rāśis, the degrees to elapse be doubled to get the Drishti value. If the sum is above 2 Rāśis, the degrees etc. be halved and deducted from 60. If the sum exceeds 8 Rāśis, add to the degrees etc. a figure of 30 to get the Drishti value. In other cases, the sums be processed, as explained earlier.


11. Special consideration for Mangal’s Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Mangal from that of the Grah, that receives the Drishti. If the sum is 3 Rāśis & c, or 7 Rāśis & c, the degrees etc. be reduced from 60. If it is above 2 Rāśis, the degrees etc. be increased by half of it and superadd 15. If the sum is 6 Rāśis, one Rup is the value.


12. Special consideration for Guru’s Drishtis. Deduct the longitude of Guru from that of the Grah, that receives the Drishti from Guru. If the resultant sum is 3 Rāśis & c, or 7 Rāśis & c, halve the degrees etc. and increase it by 15. It the sum is 4 Rāśis & c, or 8 Rāśis & 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.

3. If Labh’s Lord is in Dhan Bhava, while Dhan’s Lord is in an angle along with Guru, the gains will be great.

4. If Labh’s Lord is in Sahaj Bhava, while Labh Bhava is occupied by a benefic, the native will gain 2000 Nishkas in his 36th year.

5. If Labh’s Lord is yuti with a benefic in an angle, or in a trine, the native will acquire 500 Nishkas in his 40th year.

6. The native will own 6000 Nishkas, if Labh Bhava is occupied by Guru, while Dhan Bhava and Dharm Bhava are, respectively, taken over by Candr and Śukr by position.

7. Should Guru, Budh and Candr be in the 11th from Labh, the native will be endowed with wealth, grains, fortunes, diamonds, ornaments etc.

8. One will gain 1000 Nishkas in his 33rd year, if Labh’s Lord is in Lagn and Lagn’s Lord is in Labh Bhava.

9. If Labh’s Lord is in Dhan Bhava, as Dhan’s Lord is in Labh Bhava, one will amass abundant fortunes after marriage.

10. If Labh’s Lord is in Sahaj Bhava, as Sahaj’s Lord is in Labh Bhava, one will gain wealth through co-borns and will be endowed with excellent ornaments.

11. There will be no gains in spite of numerous efforts, if Labh’s Lord is in fall, in combustion, or be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava with a malefic.

Ch. 21. Effects of Karm Bhava

1. I now explain the effects of Karm Bhava. Listen to these, o Maitreya, in the words of Brahma, Garga and others.

2. Paternal Happiness. If Karm’s Lord is strong and in exaltation, or in its own Rāśi/Navāńś, the native will derive extreme paternal happiness, will enjoy fame and will perform good deeds.

3. If Karm’s Lord is devoid of strength, the native will face obstructions in his work. If Rahu is in an angle, or in a trine, he will perform religious sacrifices, like Jyotishtoma.

4. If Karm’s Lord is with a benefic, or be in an auspicious Bhava, one will always gain through royal patronage and in business. In a contrary situation, only opposite results will come to pass.

5. Should Karm and Labh Bhava be both occupied by malefics, the native will indulge only in bad deeds and will defile his own men.

6. If the Lord of Karm Bhava is relegated to Randhr Bhava along with Rahu, the native will hate others; be a great fool and will do bad deeds.

7. If Śani, Mangal and Karm’s Lord are in Yuvati, as Yuvati’s Lord is with a malefic, the native will be fond of carnal pleasures and of filling his belly.

8-10 Should Karm’s Lord be in exaltation and be in the company of Guru, as Dharm’s Lord is in Karm the native will be endowed with honour, wealth and valour. One will lead a happy life, if Labh’s Lord is in Karm and Karm’s Lord is in Lagn, or, if the Lord of Karm Bhava is yuti with the Lord of Labh Bhava in an angle. Should Karm’s Lord in strength be in Meen along Guru, the native will doubtless obtain robes, ornaments and happiness.

11. Should Rahu, Sūrya, Śani and Mangal be in Labh Bhava, the native will incur cessation of his duties.

12. One will be learned and wealthy, if Guru is in Meen along with Śukr, while Lagn’s Lord is strong and Candr is in exaltation.

13. Should Karm’s Lord be in Labh, while Labh’s Lord is in Tanu Bhava and Śukr is in Karm, the native will be endowed with precious stones.

14. If the Karm’s Lord is exalted in an angle, or a trine and is yuti with Guru, or receives a Drishti from Guru, one will be endowed with deeds.

15. Should Karm’s Lord be in Lagn along with Lagn’s Lord, as Candr is in an angle, or in a trine, the native will be interested in good deeds.

16. If Śani is in Karm Bhava along with a debilitated Grah, while Karm Bhava in the Navāńś Kundali is occupied by a malefic, the native will be bereft of acts.

17. One will indulge in bad acts, if Karm’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr’s Lord is in Karm Bhava with a malefic.

18. Obstructions to the native’s acts will crop up, if Karm’s Lord is in fall, as both Karm Bhava and the 10th from Karm Bhava have malefic occupations.

19-21. Combinations for Fame. One will be endowed with fame, if Candr is in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is in a trine from Karm Bhava and Lagn’s Lord is in Lagn’s angle. Similar effects will come to pass, if Labh’s Lord is in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord is strong and gives a Drishti to Guru. Fame will come to the native, if Karm’s Lord is in Dharm Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in Karm Bhava and Candr is in Putr Bhava.

22. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been told about the effects of Karm Bhava in a brief manner. Other related effects be guessed by you based on the relationship of the Lords of Lagn and of Karm Bhava.

Ch. 20. Effects of Dharm Bhava

(1) Combinations for Fortunes. O Brahmin, now listen to the effects of Dharm Bhava. One will be fortunate (or affluent), if Dharm’s Lord is in Dharm Bhava with strength.

(2) Should Guru be in Dharm Bhava, while Dharm’s Lord is in an angle and Lagn’s Lord is endowed with strength, one will be extremely fortunate.

3. Fortunate (Affluent) Father. If Dharm’s Lord is with strength, as Śukr is in Dharm, while Guru is in an angle from Tanu Bhava, the native’s father is fortunate.

4. Indigent Father. If Dharm’s Lord is debilitated, while the 2nd and/or the 4th from Dharm Bhava is occupied by Mangal, the native’s father is poor.

5. Long-living Father. Should Dharm’s Lord be in deep exaltation, while Śukr is in an angle from Tanu Bhava and Guru is in the 9th from Navāńś Lagn, the father of the native will enjoy a long span of life.

6. Royal Status for Father. If Dharm’s Lord is an angle and receives a Drishti from Guru, the native’s father will be a king endowed with conveyances, or be equal to a king.

7. Wealthy and Famous Father. Should Dharm’s Lord be in Karm Bhava, while Karm’s Lord receives a Drishti from a benefic the native’s father will be very rich and famous.

8-9. Virtuous and Devoted to Father. Should Sūrya be in deep exaltation, as Dharm’s Lord is in Labh Bhava, the native will be virtuous, dear to the king and devoted to father. If Sūrya is in a trine from Lagna, while Dharm’s Lord is in Yuvati in yuti with, or receiving a Drishti from Guru, the native will be devoted to his father.

10. Fortunes etc. Acquisition of fortunes, conveyances and fame will follow the 32nd year of age, if Dharm’s Lord is in Dhan, while Dhan’s Lord is in Dharm.

11. Inimical to Father. There will be mutual enmity between the father and the native, if Lagn’s Lord is in Dharm Bhava, but with the Lord of Ari. Further, the native’s father will be of contemptible disposition.

12. Begged Food. If Karm’s Lord and Sahaj’s Lord are bereft of strength, while Dharm’s Lord is in fall, or combust the native will go begging for his food.

13-25. Combinations for Father’s Death. The father of the native would have passed away prior to the native’s birth, if Sūrya is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, as Randhr’s Lord is in Dharm Bhava, Vyaya’s Lord is in Tanu Bhava and Ari’s Lord is in Putr Bhava. Should Sūrya be in Randhr Bhava, while Randhr’s Lord is in Dharm, the native’s father will pass away within a year of his birth. If the Lord of Vyaya Bhava is in Dharm Bhava, while Dharm’s Lord is in its debilitation Navāńś, the native’s father will face his end during the 3rd, or the 16th year of the native. Death of father will occur in the 2nd, or the 12th year, if Lagn’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Randhr’s Lord is with Sūrya. Should Rahu be in the 8th from Dharm, as Sūrya is in the 9th from Dharm, death of father will take place in the 16th, or the 18th year of the native. If Śani is in the 9th from Candr, as Sūrya is with Rahu, the native’s father will die in the 7th, or the 19th year of the native. The native in his 44th year will lose his father, if Dharm’s Lord is in Vyaya, as Vyaya’s Lord is in Dharm. If Lagn’s Lord is in Randhr Bhava, as Candr is in Sūrya’s Navāńś, the native in his 35th, or 41st year will lose his father. One will lose his father in the 50th year, if Sūrya, being the Lord of Dharm, is conjunct Mangal and Śani. If Sūrya is in the 7th from Dharm Bhava, as Rahu is in the 7th from Sahaj Bhava, the 6th, or 25th year of the native will be fatal for father. If Śani is in the 7th from Randhr Bhava, as Sūrya is in the 7th from Śani, the ages of 21, 26, or 30 will be fatal for the father. If Dharm’s Lord is in its debilitation Rāśi, while his dispositor is in Dharm Bhava, the native will lose his father at the age of 26, or 30. Thus the Jyotishis may know the effects.

26. Fortunes. One will enjoy abundant fortunes, if Śukr is in deep exaltation and be in the company of Dharm’s Lord, as Śani is in Sahaj.

Ch. 19. Effects of Randhr Bhava

1. Long Life. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me speak on the effects of Randhr Bhava. If Randhr’s Lord is in an angle, long life is indicated.

2. Short Life. Should Randhr’s Lord join Lagn’s Lord, or a malefic and be in Randhr itself, the native will be short lived.

3. Śani and Karm’s Lord about Longevity. Similarly consider Śani and Karm’s Lord in the matter of longevity. Karm’s Lord is in Randhr along with a malefic Grah and/or Lagn’s Lord.

4-7. Long Life. There will be long life, if Ari’s Lord is in Vyaya, or, if Ari’s Lord is in Ari, as Vyaya’s Lord is in Vyaya, or, if Ari’s Lord and Vyaya’s Lord are in Lagn and Randhr. If the Lords of Putr, Randhr and Tanu Bhava are in own Navāńśas, own Rāśis, or in friendly Rāśis, the native will enjoy a long span of life. Should the Lords of Lagn, Randhr and Karm Bhava and Śani are all disposed severally in an angle, in a trine, or in Labh Bhava, the subject will live long. Like these, there are many other Yogas, dealing with the issue of longevity. The strength and weakness of the Grahas concerned be estimated in deciding longevity.

8-13. Short Life. One’s span of life will be between 20 and 32 years, if Lagn’s Lord is weak, while Randhr’s Lord is an angle. The native will only be short-lived, if Randhr’s Lord is in fall, while Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it and Tanu Bhava is bereft of strength. Death will be instant at birth, if Randhr Bhava, Randhr’s Lord and Vyaya Bhava are all conjunct malefics. Malefics in angles and/or trines and benefics in Ari and/or Randhr Bhava, while Tanu Bhava has in it Randhr’s Lord in fall: this Yoga will cause immediate end. If Putr and Randhr Bhava and Randhr’s Lord are all conjunct malefics, the life span will be very brief. Within a month of birth, death will befall the child, if Randhr’s Lord is in Randhr itself, while Candr is with malefics and be bereft of beneficial Drishti.

14-15. Long Life (again). One will be long-lived, if Lagn’s Lord is in exaltation, while Candr and Guru are, respectively, in Labh and Randhr Bhava. If Lagn’s Lord is exceedingly strong and receives a Drishti from a benefic, which is placed in an angle, the person concerned will be wealthy, virtuous and long-lived.

Ch. 15. Effects of Bandhu Bhava

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been briefly told the effects of Sahaj Bhava. Now listen to the results, related to Bandhu Bhava.

2. Housing Comforts. One will have residential comforts in full degree, if Bandhu is occupied by its Lord, or by Lagn’s Lord and be drishtied by a benefic.

3. Miscellaneous. Should Putr’s Lord be in his own Bhava, or in own Navāńś, or in exaltation, the native will be endowed with comforts, related to lands, conveyances, houses etc. and musical instruments.

4. Housing Comforts. If Karm’s Lord joins Bandhu’s Lord in an angle, or in a trine, the native will acquire beautiful mansions.

5. Relatives. Should Budh be in Lagn, while Bandhu’s Lord, being a benefic, is drishtied by another benefic, the native will be honoured by his relatives.

6. Long-living Mother. If Bandhu Bhava is occupied by a benefic, while its Lord is in his exaltation Rāśi, as the indicator of mother is endowed with strength, the native will have a long-living mother.

7. Happiness of Mother. The native’s mother will be happy, if Bandhu’s Lord is in an angle, while Śukr is also in an angle, as Budh is exalted.

8. Quadrupeds. Sūrya in Bandhu, Candr and Śani in Dharm and Mangal in Labh Bhava; this Yoga will confer cows and buffaloes on the native.

9. Dumbness. Should Bandhu Bhava be a Movable one, while its Lord and Mangal are together in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native will be dumb.

10-14. Conveyances. If Lagn’s Lord is a benefic, while Bandhu’s Lord is in fall, or in Labh Bhava and the significator (Śukr) is in Vyaya Bhava, the native will obtain conveyances in his 12th year.
Should Sūrya be in Bandhu Bhava, as Bandhu’s Lord is exalted and be with Śukr, one will acquire conveyances in his 32nd year. It will be in the 42nd year, that one will be endowed with conveyances, if Bandhu’s Lord joins Karm’s Lord in his (4th Lord’s) exaltation Navāńś. An exchange between Labh’s and Bandhu’s Lords will confer conveyances in the 12th year. A benefic, related to Bandhu Bhava (and to its Lord), will bring with him auspicious effects (regarding conveyances), while a malefic will produce only malefic effects (in respect of conveyances). Should a benefic be in Bandhu, drishti Bandhu, or in yuti with the Lord of Bandhu, or a Drishti on the Lord of Bandhu Bhava, then the native will be happy with conveyances and be free from accidents and dangers. A malefic, replacing the said benefic, will cause losses, concerning vehicles and reduce one to severe accidents.

Ch. 18. Effects of Yuvati Bhava

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, detailing the effects of the 7th Bhava. If Yuvati Lord is in his own Rāśi, or in exaltation, one will derive full happiness through his wife (and marriage).

2. SICK WIFE. Should Yuvati Lord be in Ari, 8th, or Vyaya, the wife will be sickly. This however does not apply to own Bhava, or exaltation placement, as above.

3. Excessive·Libidinousness/Death·of·Wife. If Śukr is in Yuvati, the native will be exceedingly libidinous. If Śukr yuti a malefic in any Bhava, it will cause loss of wife.

4-5. THE 7TH LORD. Should Yuvati Lord be endowed with strength and be yuti with, or be drishtied by a benefic, the native will be wealthy, honourable, happy and fortunate. Conversely, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or is combust, or is in an enemy’s Rāśi, one will acquire sick wives and many wives.

6. PLURALITY OF WIVES. If Yuvati Lord is in a Rāśi of Śani, or of Śukr and be drishtied by a benefic, there will be many wives. Should Yuvati Lord be particularly in exaltation, the same effects will come to pass.

7-8½. MlSCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The native will befriend barren females, if Sūrya is in Yuvati. Candr therein will cause association with such female, as corresponding to the Rāśi, becoming Yuvati. Mangal, placed in Yuvati, will denote association with marriageable girls (those with menses), or with barren females. Budh indicates harlots, mean females and females, belonging to traders’ community. Wife of a Brahmin, or a pregnant female will be in the native’s association, if Guru is in Yuvati. Base females and females, having attained their courses, are denoted by Śani, Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati.

8-9½. Mangal denotes a female with attractive breasts. Śani indicates sick and weak spouse. Guru will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts. Śukr will bring one with bulky and excellent breasts.

10-13½. Malefics in Vyaya and 7th, while decreasing Candr is in Putr denote, that the native will be controlled by spouse, who will be inimical to the race (or family). If Yuvati Bhava is occupied, or owned by Śani/Mangal, the native will beget a harlot, as his spouse, or he will be attached to other illegally. Should Śukr be in a Navamsa of Mangal, or in a Rasi of Mangal, or receive a Drishti from, or be yuti with Mangal, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the female. If Śukr is so related to Śani, the native will “kiss” the private parts of the male.

14-15. WORTHY SPOUSE. The native will beget a spouse endowed with (the seven principal) virtues, who will expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the 7th Lord is exalted, while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a benefic.

16. EVILS TO SPOUSE. If Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is yuti with a malefic the native’s wife will incur evils, especially, if Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is bereft of strength.

17. LOSS OF SPOUSE. If Yuvati Lord is devoid of strength and is relegated to Ari, 8th, or Vyaya, or, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, the native’s wife will be destroyed (i.e. she will die early).

18. LACK OF CONJUGAL FELICITY. If Candr is in Yuvati, as Yuvati Lord is in Vyaya and the Karaka (indicator Śukr) is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed with marital happiness.

19-21. PLURALlIY OF WIVES. One will have two wives, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or in a malefic Rāśi along with a malefic, while Yuvati Bhava, or the 7th Navamsa belong to a eunuch planet. If Mangal and Śukr are in Yuvati, or, if Śani is Yuvati, while the Lord of Lagn is in Randhr, the native will have 3 wives. There will be many wives, if Śukr is in a Dual Rāśi, while its Lord is in exaltation, as Yuvati Lord is endowed with strength.

22. TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto Sloka 34). If Yuvati Lord is in a benefic’s Bhava (or in Dharm, as Subha Rāśi so means), while Śukr is exalted, or is in own Rāśi, the native will marry at the age of 5, or 9.

23. If Sūrya is in Yuvati, while his dispositor is yuti with Śukr, there will be marriage at 7th, or 11th year of age.

24. Śukr in Dhan, while Yuvati Lord is in Labh will give marriage at the age of 10, or 16.

25. Marriage will take place during the 11th year, if Śukr is in an angle from Lagn, while Lagn Lord is in Makar, or Kumbh.

26. The native will marry at 12, or l9, if Śukr is in an angle from the Lagna, while Śani is in Yuvati counted from Śukr.

27. Should Śukr be in Yuvati from Candr, while Śani is in Yuvati from Śukr, marriage will be in the 18th year.

28. Marriage will be in the 15th year, if Dhan Lord is in Labh, while Lagn Lord is in Karm.

29. An exchange between the Lords of Dhan and Labh will bring marriage 13 years after birth.

30. Ones 22nd/27th year will confer marriage, if Śukr is in Yuvati from the 8th Bhava (i.e. Dhan from Lagna), while his dispositor is yuti with Mangal.

31. Should Yuvati Lord be in Vyaya, while the natal Lord is in Yuvati in Navamsa, marriage will be in 23rd/26th year of age.

32. Either the 25th year, or the 33rd year will bring marriage, if Randhr Lord is in Yuvati, as Śukr is in Navamsa Lagna.

33. Should Śukr be in Dharm from Dharm (i.e. in Putr Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the said Bhavas (i.e. in Putr/Dharm), marriage will take place during 31st, or 33rd year.

34. The native will marry at 30, or 27, if Śukr is in Lagn, while the 7th Lord is in Yuvati itself.

35-39. TIMING OF WIFE’S DEATH. Loss of wife will occur in the 18th year, or 33rd year of age of the native, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, while Śukr is in Randhr. One will lose his spouse in his 19th year, if Yuvati Lord is in the 8th, while Vyaya Lord is in Yuvati. The native’s wife will die within three days of marriage due to snake bite, if the native has Rahu in Dhan and Mangal in Yuvati. If Śukr is in Randhr, while his dispositor is in a Rāśi of Śani, death of wife will take place during the native’s 12th, or 21st year of age. Should the ascendat Lord be in his Rāśi of debilitation, as Dhan Lord is in Randhr, loss of wife will occur in the 13th year of age.

40-41. THREE MARRIAGES. Should Candr be in Yuvati from Śukr, while Budh is in Yuvati from Candr and Randhr Lord is in Putr (from the Lagna), there will be marriage in Karm year followed by another in the 22nd year and yet another in the 33rd year.

42. DEATH OF WlFE. lf Ari, 7th and 8th are in their order occupied by Mangal, Rahu and Śani, the native’s wife will not live (long).

Ch. 17. Effects of Ari Bhava

1. O Brahmin, following are the effects, produced by Ari Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers etc. Listen to this attentively.

2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should Ari’s Lord be in Ari itself, or in Lagn, or Randhr, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The Rāśi, becoming Ari Bhava, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb.

3-5. Relatives Affected. The Karak of a relative, or the Lord of such a Bhava, joining Ari’s Lord, or being in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a relative, like father. Sūrya with such lordship and in such a Bhava denotes such affectation of head, Candr of the face, Mangal of the neck, Budh of the navel, Guru of the nose, Śukr of the eyes, Śani of the feet and the Rahu and Ketu of the abdomen.

6. Facial Diseases. Should Lagn’s Lord be in a Rāśi of Mangal, or of Budh and has a Drishti on Budh, there will be diseases of the face.

7-8½. Leprosy. Mangal, or Budh, having ownership of the ascending Rāśi and joining Candr, Rahu and Śani, will cause leprosy. If Candr is in Lagn, which is not however Cancer, and be with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy. Śani in place of Rahu will cause black leprosy, while Mangal similarly will afflict one with blood-leprosy.

9-12½. Diseases in General. When Lagn is occupied by the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava along with Sūrya, the native will be afflicted by fever and tumours. Mangal, replacing Sūrya, will cause swelling and hardening of the blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons. Budh so featuring will bring in billious diseases, while Guru in similar case will destroy any
disease. Similarly Śukr will cause diseases through females, Śani windy diseases, Rahu danger through low-caste-men and Ketu navel diseases. Candr in Yuti with the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava will inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic disorders. Similar estimates be made from the respective significators and Bhavas for relatives, like father.

13-19½ TIMING OF ILLNESS. The native will be afflicted by illness throughout life, if Śani is with Rahu, while Ari Lord and 6th Bhava are yuti with malefics. One will suffer from (severe) fever at the age of 6 and at the age of 12, if Mangal is in Ari, while Ari Lord is in Randhr. If the Candr is in Dhanu/Meen, while Guru is in Ari from Lagn, one will suffer from leprosy at the age of 19 and 22. If Rahu is in Ari, Lagna Lord is in Randhr and Mandi is in an angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age of 26. Spleenary disorders will be experienced at the age of 29 and 30, if the Lords of 6th and 12th are in exchange of their Rāśis. Śani and Candr together in Ari will inflict blood-leprosy at the age of 45. If Śani is with an inimical planet, while Lagn Lord is in Lagn itself, windy disorders (like rheumatism) will trouble the native at the age of 59.
20-22. UNFORTUNATE YEARS. Should Candr be yuti with Ari Lord, while the 8th Lord is in Ari and the 12th Lord is in Lagn, the native will be troubled by animals at the age of eight. O Brahmin, if Rahu is in Ari, while Śani is in Randhr from the said Rahu, the child will have danger through fire at the age of 1 and 2, while in Sahaj year birds will bring some evils.

23-25. UNFORTUNATE YEARS (continued). Danger through water will have to be feared during Putr and Dharm years, if Sūrya is in Ari, or Randhr, while Candr is in Vyaya from the said Sūrya. Śani in Randhr, as Mangal is in Yuvati, all cause small-pox in Karm year and in 30th year of age. If 8th Lord joins Rahu in an angle/trine from Randhr Bhava and be in Randhr in Navamsa, the subject will be troubled by swelling of blood vessels, urinary disorders etc. during the 18th year and the 22nd year.

26. LOSS THROUGH ENEMIES. Loss of wealth will come to pass during the 31st year, if Labh and 6th Lords exchange their Rāśis.

27. INIMICAL SONS. One’s own sons will be his enemies, if Putr Lord is in Ari, while Ari Lord is with Guru. Simultaneously Vyaya Lord should be in Lagn.

28. FEAR FROM DOGS. There will be fear from dogs during the 10th and 19th year, if the Lagna Lord and the 6th Lord are in exchange.

Ch. 16. Effects of Putr Bhava

1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putr Bhava. If the Lords of Lagn and Putr are in their own Rāśis, or in an angle, or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness through his children. Should Putr’s Lord be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be no offspring. Should the Lord of Putr be combust, or be with malefics and be weak, there will be no children; even, if per chance issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon. The Yuti of Putr’s Lord with Lagn’s Lord in a good Bhava will ensure early obtainment of children apart from happiness through them. If they join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a defect in this respect.

4. If Putr’s Lord is in Ari Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is yuti with Mangal, the native will lose his very first child, whereafter his female will not be fertile to yield an offspring.

5. Should Putr’s Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Budh and Ketu are in Putr Bhava, the native’s wife will give birth to one child only.

6. If Putr’s Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putr, while Śani and Budh are in Putr, the native’s wife will give birth to one child only.

7. Should Dharm’s Lord be in Lagn, while Putr’s Lord is in fall and Ketu is in Putr along with Budh, obtainment of progeny will be after a great deal of ordeal.

8. If Putr’s Lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an inimical Rāśi, or be in fall, or in Putr itself, the native will beget issues with difficulty.

9. Should Putr Bhava be owned by Śani, or Budh and be occupied, or drishtied by Śani and Mandi, one will have adopted issues.

10. Should Sūrya and Candr be together in a Rāśi and in the same Navāńś, the native will be brought up by three mothers, or two fathers.

11. Adopted issue is indicated, if Putr is tenanted by six Grahas, while its Lord is in Vyaya Bhava and Candr and Lagn are endowed with strength.

12. There will be many children, if Putr’s Lord is strong, while Putr is drishtied by strong Budh, Guru and Śukr.

13. If Putr’s Lord is with Candr, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters; so say Jyotishis.

14. If Putr’s Lord is in a Movable Rāśi, while Śani is in Putr, as Rahu is with Candr, the child (so born) is of questionable birth.

15. Undoubtedly the native is born of other’s loins, if Candr is in the 8th from Lagn, while Guru is in the 8th from Candr. Malefic’s Drishti, or Yuti is essential in this Yog.

16. If Putr’s Lord is exalted, or be in Dhan, Putr, or Dharm Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of children will be there.

17. One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if Putr is occupied by three, or four malefics, while Putr’s Lord is in fall. A benefic (including Budh) in Putr is excluded in the said combination.

18. If Putr is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Śukr, one will obtain an offspring in his 32nd, or 33rd year.

19. Should Putr’s Lord be in an angle along with Guru, the Karak, one will beget a child at the age of 30, or 36.

20. If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Śukr is in the 9th from Guru along with Lagn’s Lord, one will beget a child at the age of 40.

21. The native will at the age of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putr, Putr’s Lord is in Yuti with a malefic and Guru is in debilitation.

22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if a malefic is in the 5th from Guru, while another is in the 5th from Lagn.

23. Should Mandi be in Lagn, while Lagn’s Lord is in fall, grief on account of loss of child at the age of 56 will come to pass.

24-32. Number of Children. There will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied by malefics, while Putr’s Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagn’s Lord, as Guru is with another benefic. Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in deep exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhan’s Lord and Dharm is occupied by its own Lord. There will be eight sons, if Guru is in Putr, or Dharm Bhava, while Putr’s Lord is endowed with strength and Dhan’s Lord is in Karm Bhava. Śani in Dharm Bhava, while Putr’s Lord is in Putr itself, gives 7 sons, out of which twins will be born twice. If Putr’s Lord is in Putr in Yuti with Dhan’s Lord, there will be birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away. Only one son is denoted, if there be a malefic in Putr Bhava, while Guru is in the 5th from Śani, or vice versa. If Putr Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Śani is in the 5th from Guru, the native will beget offspring only through his second, or third wife. Should Putr be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti with Śani in Putr Bhava, as Lagn’s Lord is in Dhan Bhava and Putr’s Lord is yuti with Mangal, one will live long, but lose his children one after the other, as they are born.

Ch. 13. Effects of Dhan Bhava

1-2. Combinations for Wealth. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, speaking on the effects of Dhan Bhava. If the Lord of Dhan is in Dhan, or is in an angle, or in trine, he will promote one’s wealth (or monetary state). Should he be in Ari/8th/12th, financial conditions will decline. A benefic in Dhan will give wealth, while a malefic instead will destroy wealth.

3. One will be wealthy, if Guru is in Dhan, as the Lord of Dhan, or is with Mangal.

4. If Dhan Lord is in Labh, while the Lord of Labh in Dhan, wealth will be acquired by the native. Alternately these two Lords may join in an angle, or in a trine.

5. If the Lord of Dhan is in an angle, while Labh Lord is in a trine thereof, or is drishtied by, or yuti with Guru and Śukr, the subject will be wealthy.

6-7. Yogas for Poverty. One will be penniless, if the Lord of Dhan Bhava is in an evil Bhava, while the Lord of Labh Bhava is also so placed and Dhan Bhava is occupied by a malefic. There will be penury right from birth and the native will have to beg even for his food, if the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava are both combust, or with malefics.

8. Loss of Wealth through the King. Should the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava be relegated to Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava and Rahu is in Dhan Bhava, the native will lose his wealth on account of royal punishments.

9. Expenses on Good Accounts. When Guru is in Labh, Śukr is in Dhan and a benefic is placed in Vyaya Bhava, while Dhan’s Lord is yuti with a benefic, there will be expenses on religious, or charitable grounds.

10. Fame etc. If Dhan’s Lord is in own Rāśi, or is exalted, the native will look after his people, will help others and also will become famous.

11. Effortless Aquisition. If Dhan’s Lord is yuti with a benefic and is in a good division, like Paravatāńś, there will be effortlessly all kinds of wealth in the native’s family. (“Paravatāńśdau” of the text denotes Paravat, or such other higher Vargas: Dhan’s Lord should be in Paravatāńś, or in Devalokāńś, Brahmalokāńś, Sakravahanāńś, or Sridhamāńś in the Dash Varg scheme)

12. Eyes. If Dhan Lord is endowed with strength, the native will possess beautiful eyes. Should the said Grah be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be disease, or deformity of eyes.

13. Untruthful Person. If Dhan Bhava and its Lord are yuti with malefics, the native will be a talebearer, will speak untruth and will be afflicted by windy diseases.

Ch. 14. Effects of Sahaj Bhava

1. O Brahmin, I now tell you about Sahaj Bhava. Should Sahaj Bhava be yuti with, or drishtied by a benefic, the native will be endowed with co-born and be courageous.

2. If Sahaj’s Lord along with Mangal drishties Sahaj Bhava, the native will enjoy good results, due to Sahaj Bhava. Alternatively these two Grahas may be in Sahaj itself.

3. Destruction at once of co-born will come to pass, if the said 2 Grahas are together with a malefic, or in a Rāśi, owned by a malefic.

4-4½. Female and Male Co-born. If Sahaj’s Lord is a female Grah, or, if Sahaj Bhava be occupied by female Grahas, one will have sisters, born after him. Similarly male Grahas and male Rāśis denote younger brothers. Should it be of mixed nature, co-born of both sexes will be obtained. These effects be declared after assessing the strength and weakness of the concerned.

5-6. Should Sahaj’s Lord and Mangal be together in Randhr Bhava, destruction of co-born will result. Happiness in this respect will come to pass, if Mangal, or Sahaj’s Lord is in an angle, or in a trine, or in exaltation, or friendly divisions.

7-11. Number of Brothers and Sisters. If Budh is in Sahaj Bhava, while Sahaj’s Lord and Candr are together, as the indicator (Mangal) joins Śani, the effects are: there occurred the birth of an elder sister and there will be younger brothers. Furthermore, the third brother will die. Should Mangal be yuti with Rahu, while Sahaj’s Lord is in his debilitation Rāśi, there will be loss of younger brothers and/or sisters, while three elder brothers and/or sisters were attained by the native. If Sahaj’s Lord is in an angle, while the significator (Mangal) is exalted in a trine and be yuti with Guru, 12 will be the number of total co-born. Out of these two elders and the 3rd, the 7th, the 9th and the 12th of the younger co-born will be shortlived, while six of the said twelve will be longlived.

12-13. There will be 1 co-born, if Vyaya’s Lord (some texts read, as Labh’s Lord) joins Mangal and Guru, while Sahaj Bhava is occupied by Candr. If Candr is lonely placed in Sahaj Bhava with Drishti of male Grahas, there will be younger brothers, while the Drishti of Śukr denotes younger sisters.

14. Adverse Grahas. Sūrya in Sahaj Bhava will destroy the preborn. The afterborn will be destroyed, if Śani is found in Sahaj Bhava. In the same situation Mangal will destroy both the preborn and later-born.

15. After estimating the strength and weakness of such Yogas, the effects, related to brothers and sisters, be announced.

Ch. 12. Effects of Tanu Bhava

1-2. Physical comforts. Should Lagn Lord be yuti with a malefic, or be in Randhr, 6th, or 12th, physical felicity will diminish. If he is in an angle, or trine there will be at all times comforts of the body. If Lagn Lord is in debilitation, combustion, or enemy’s Rāśi, there will be diseases. With a benefic in an angle, or trine all diseases will disappear. Lagn’s angles (i.e. Bandhu, Yuvati, or the 10th), or its trine (Putr, Dharm), containing a benefic, is a powerful remedy for all, related to health.

3. There will not be bodily health, if Lagn, or Candr be drishtied by, or yuti with a malefic, being devoid of a benefics Drishti.

4. Bodily Beauty. A benefic in Lagn will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance. Felicity of the body will be enjoyed, if Lagn is drishtied by, or yuti with a benefic.

5-7. Other Benefits. If Lagn Lord, Budh, Guru, or Śukr be in an angle, or in a trine, the native will be long lived, wealthy, intelligent and liked by the king. Fame, wealth, abundant pleasures and comforts of the body will be acquired, if Lagn Lord is in a Movable Rāśi and be drishtied by a benefic Grah. One will be endowed with royal marks (of fortune), if Budh, Guru, or Śukr be in Lagn along with the Candr, or be in angle from Lagn. If Budh, Guru, or Śukr be in 4th, 7th, or 10th from Lagn, or be in the company of Candr in Lagn, the native will enjoy royal fortunes.

8. Coiled Birth. If there be a birth in one of Mesh, Vrishabh and Simh Lagnas, containing either Śani, or Mangal, the birth of the child is with a coil around a limb. The corresponding limb will be in accordance with the Rāśi, or Navāńś, rising.

9. Birth of Twins. The native, who has Sūrya in a quadruped Rāśi, while others are in Dual Rāśis with strength, is born, as one of the twins.

10. To Be Nurtured by Three Mothers. If Sūrya and Candr join in one and the same Bhava and fall in one Navāńś, the native will be nurtured by three different mothers for the first three months from its birth and will later on be brought up by its father and brother. (‘Bhratri’ apart from meaning a brother calls for interpretation, as a near relative in general)

11. Important. The learned in Jyotish should base the effects on Candr also, as are applicable to Lagn. Now explained are clues to know of ulcers, identity marks etc. on one’s person.

12-14. Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rāśi ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf and foot. The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body).

15. Limbs Affected. The limb, related to a malefic by occupation, will have ulcers, or scars, while the one, related to a benefic, will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis. (Also see Sloka 6, Ch. 4 of Saravali, which states, that a malefic, or a benefic, if be in own
Rāśi, or Navāńś, the effects will be right from birth. In other cases it will be in the course of one’s life, that these effects will come to pass)

Ch. 11. Judgement of Bhavas

1. O Maharishi Parashar, I have come to know of the evils and antidotes thereof from you. Please tell me, what is to be deduced from each Bhava.

12. Indications of Labh Bhava. All articles, son’s wife, income, prosperity, quadrupeds etc. are to be understood from Labh Bhava.

13. Indications of Vyaya Bhava. From Vyaya Bhava, one can know about expenses, history of enemies, one’s own death etc.

14-16. Prosperity, or Annihilation of a Bhava. Predict prosperity of the Bhava, which is yuti with, or drishtied by a benefic. Also, when its Lord is in Yuvavastha, or Prabuddhavastha, or in Kismaravastha, or in Karm Bhava, the Bhavas well-being is indicated. The Bhava, which is not drishtied by its Lord, or, whose Lord is with a malefic Grah, or with one of the Lords of evil and such other Bhavas (i.e. 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th and 12th), or is defeated in a war between Grahas, or is in one of the three Avasthas, viz, Vriddhavastha, Mritavastha and Suptavastha.
