Vastu-Mandala – Central Nine StepsBrahmaji is worshipped in the central nine steps of the Vastu-Mandala. Of the rest 48 steps,half i.e., 24 steps are for the worship of those devatas who rule six steps. [All aroundBrahmaji, is one each devata in the four directions, administering six steps - in the East isMarichi (Aryama), South is Vivasvan, in the West is Mitra and in the North isPrithvidhara].Vastu-Mandala - Blocks In the blocks, 4 squares between Brahmaji and Ish, 2 are for worshipping "Apa" andthe lower 2 are for worshipping "Apavatsa". In the next six squares, worship"Marichi". Next to Marichi, and between Agni angle, next two blocks are "Savita"and below that are two for "Savitri". Below these, the six blocks are allocated to"Vivasvan". Vishnu-Indu is present in the two blocks between Brahmaji and Pitar,and the two blocks directly below are for Indra-Jaya. Worship all of these too. Worship "Mitra-Devata" in the six blocks that lie between Brahmaji and Varun.

This is the description of the "Vaastu Chakra" containing 81 steps. There is also another 100steps "Mandap" (pavilion) where the 'devatas' should be worshipped. In the 100 steps"chakra", the central 16 steps are for worshipping Brahmaji. Around Brahmaji, in the fourdirections starting from the East, the set up is similar. The quarters are allocated to Marichi,Vivasvan, Mitra and Prithvidhara and they should be worshipped in 10 steps each. In thefour corners starting from Ishan, are stationed other devatas such as the Daitya's mother,Diti, Ish, Agni, Mriga (Pusha), Pitar, Papayakshma and Anil (roga). They all occupy oneand a half step each."Bhagavan Shankar continues, and says "Skanda, Now I shall describe the 'Mandap'(pavilion) for performing the Yagya. Thirty hands long and twenty eight hand wideis the pavilion of the base for Shiva. Shorter by eleven hands in both directions i.e.nineteen hands long and seventeen hands wide is the Shiva-identifier. Twenty two handslong and nineteen hands wide or optionally eighteen hands long and fifteen hands widepavilion, is the identifier of Savitra. The dimensions of the other planets are containedwithin these. The wall should be three times high compared to the base. There should be anequal area of open land in front of the 'Mandap' (pavilion).Alleys In the rooms named 'Bhadra' and 'Shri Jaya', is placed a 'dvaara-viithii' (alley). If thedoor passage is reduced from the alleys, then the room thus obtained is called 'Bhadra'.The expanse of the alley is proportional to the central quarters. It can be as much as aquarter or half of the central area. Sub-alleys are built using half of the alleys dimensions.These lead to one, two or three rooms. Should a house be constructed in this manner,then it shall fulfil all desires and needs. This is comprised of one, two, three, four andeight sections. The house with one section is made on the South side and has a doorfacing the North side. If two sections are required, then these should be constructed inthe East and West sides. Their doors should face each other - that is to say, the Easternsection should have its door opening in the West; and the Western section should havethe door opening towards the East. A house with four sections contains four doors andbalcony’s. This house has a door in each of the four directions. This is for the welfare ofthe householder. The house that has two rooms in the western direction, is called 'Yama-Suryak'. House with rooms in the East and North, is called 'Danda' and the house withtwo rooms in East-South direction is 'Vaata'. A three room’s house which does not havea room in the East, is called 'Sukshetra' (good field). Such a house is good for wisdom. If there is no room in the South direction, that house is called 'Vishaala' (large). Such ahouse is fearful and destroys the clan. The house that does not have a room in the West,is called 'pakshaghna' (side destroyer). Such a house is harmful for the progeny andcreates many enemies. Now I shall describe the eight rooms starting from the Eastdirection.1. Dhvaja, 2. Dhuma, 3. Simha, 4. Shvana, 5. Vrishabha, 6. Khara, 7. Haathi and 8. Kaakaare the rooms.399

In the eastern direction should be the wash room and the room to greet visitors. Eastsouthangle should accommodate the kitchen. Sleeping and dining rooms should belocated in the South direction. South-west direction should be for tools and arms etc.Treasures and wealth should be kept in the Western quarters. Food grains and provisionsshould be stored in the West-North direction. North is for the cattle and householdanimals. East-north corner should be allocated for a decent study room.Plan layout for a 8 rooms dwellingEastNorthEastEastSouthLibraryStudy RoomVisitorsWashRoom& Living room .Kitchen(Fire Place)NorthCattleDiningSouthAreaHouseholdAnimalsSleepingRoomsStoresfood grainsprovisionsToolsArmsAmmonitionToolsArmsA i iNorthWestWestSouthWestThe house agglomerate measured by the hand of the house lord, multiplied by three and thendivided by eight determines the income quarters of the house. The remainder left after suchdivision indicates the quarter starting from Dhvaja to Kaaka. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8 provide resultsaccordingly. If it is in the middle (5th) or in the last (8th) then that is all-destructivesituation. Therefore, the eight parts are left and the 'Mandap' (pavilion) is made in the ninthpart which is beneficial and considered good. This pavilion should be either a square (equalsides) or a rectangle of sides such that the length is twice the width.One can see a row of houses, from East to West and from North to South in the streets inthe bazaar. Each building can have eight doors in each of the directions. These doors have adifferent set of results each.400

Eastward Facing DoorsFear, women's fickleness, victory, advancement, magnificence, dharma, confliction andpoverty - these are the results of Eastward facing doors.Southward Facing DoorsCombustion, sorrow, loss of friends, death, wealth, craft skills, and gains of progeny - theseare the results of the doors facing Southwards direction.Westward Facing DoorsAge (longevity) renunciation, agricultural prosperity, wealth, peace, financial loss,exploitation, enjoyment and progeny gains - these are the results of the doors in the Westerndirection.Northward Facing DoorsDisease, arrogance, prominence, wealth, age (longevity), leanness and respect - these are theresults of the doors facing Northward direction.Thus ends the Aagneya Maha-Puran description of city-dwellings methods of erectionaccording to Vaastu principles. This completes the chapter number one hundred and five.401

JatakaJambunatheeyam -1Results of TwelveBhavasByS. Karthikeyan, AustraliaNotes: Bala Subramanium, India.Examples: Andree Leclerc, CanadaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeThis translation was done byS. Karthikeyan via the medium of RahulVedi. Mr Karthikeyan lives in Sydneyhaving migrated to Australia in the early90s and is co-founder of the firstCommunity language Sanskrit School inAustralia with his wife, Dr MeenaKarthikeyan. He is also a volunteer forSEWA International for which helpscoordinate blood donation/bone marrowregistration camps, etc. and with otherorganisations in running camps for childrenexposing them to Vedic Heritage andculture. Experiencing firsthand the handicapof a mono-lingual culture growing upin a generation affected by linguisticfundamentalism in Tamilnadu, he is hopingto introduce multi-lingual syllabus inSanskrit Schools, teaching other languageswith Sanskrit as the base like Kannada,Tamil and Malayam.As per standard classics, JyotishShastra has 3 divisions: Ganita,Samhita and Hora, of which Ganitacontains 2 divisions namely Gola and Ganita.Hora has 4 divisions namely Nimitta, Jataka,Prasna and Muhurtha. Samhita includesNimitta. Of all these divisions, the author hasgiven only the important divisions. Thedivision named by the author Phal is notincluded in the classical texts. Phal has gotanother meaning – results. So here we have totake the meaning of phala or phal as Jataka(natal) which pertains to natal horoscopy andthe results or predictions of one’s kriya andkarma (actions and fate).As far as the phala part is concerned, manyrishis (sages) have written many works orcompositions. Sri Jambunatheeyar, afterthoroughly studying and mastering suchcompositions, became an expert in PhalaJyotisha for the benefit of mankind; hewrote a book in Sanskrit by the name‘Jambunatheeyam’. In this book he hasgiven many rare facts collected from rarecompositions for easy understanding ofAstrologers. For the benefit of those whoknow Tamil, this book has been translated409

into Tamil and since the book deals with astrology or Jyotish, the word ‘Jataka’.That means Jataka has been added and named as ‘Jataka Jambunatheeyam’. Gratitude ishereby acknowledged to those who have helped in bringing out this edition. I request the oldand the young alike to take only the essence of the writings leaving out the errors in writingor spelling and will appreciate the assistance of anyone who may be interested in improvingthis work. What is important to understand via classics which many new entrants and evenscholars at times miss is the underlying principle behind the Rishis statements, why he hassaid this statement, is there a basic principle he is trying to exhibit to us. Read the followingwith this backdrop.Signs in First Bhava (Ascendant)Chapter – 11. Benefic planets placed in the Ascendant (Janma Lagna) bestow long life on the native,along with wealth and knowledge. Malefics placed in the Ascendant also give the sameresult provided they are in their exaltation, friendly or own house.Andree: This good man whose life was threatened because of his controversial writings manyyears ago is still hopping around at 62 years already. We can see that Lord Mars in placed in hisAries Ascendant forming a Ruchaka yoga. Mars also faces Lord Jupiter and is in mutual aspectwith Saturn, the mighty so, many yogas are found in these strategic placements.2. If Ascendant is Aries and Sun is placed therein, the native will be a wealthy person.3. If the Ascendant is Taurus and Sun is placed therein, the native will have dreary eyes.Notes: This verse and the next four verses up to 6, talks about the eyesight. The exact translation ofthe Tamil word gives you the meaning as blind or eyes that cannot see light – So you can use the worddark also here. If the original Sanskrit word was known, this could be corrected. Here we have to takethat the eyesight will get affected.4. If the Ascendant is Gemini and Sun is placed therein, the native will have fullblossomed eyes.410

Note: The meaning conveyed by the Tamil word is blossom. The native will have attractive eyes andthere will be no problem as far as eyesight is concerned. This meaning we have to derive by looking atthe other two verses.5. If the Ascendant is Cancer and Sun is placed therein, the native will have only quarterof the eyesight/partial vision.Andree: Around 270 charts were found with Cancer Asc and Sun placed in the 1H, but only 3charts were found to suffer from eyesight problems. One must bear in mind that a rule cannotbe applied blindly and also at the same time people might suffer from eyesight problems at alater date but at the time of recording the data their eyesight might have been healthy.Chart 1: Law, Police Officer 10674American police officer who became a security guard in 1988. Her husband often beat her,causing her to develop amnesia. After roaming the street after one beating, she was picked up bypolice who took her to a hospital and called her mother. Medical problems abounding, she hashad gallbladder surgery, a tubal ligation and her head and neck injured. In mid-1956 she fell onher face after being pushed down a park slide. The injury resulted in blindness and a tumorbehind one of her eyeballs. In the fall of 1956 she went to a healing service conducted by OralRoberts. He prayed for her and laid his hand on her head, causing the tumor to instantlydisappear. She was able to see out of both of her eyes and has kept the healing ever since theservice. She has Sun in Cancer in 1H.Chart 2: Blind 12233411

American normal male who was blinded due to the lack of oxygen following a stabbing.When he was engaged in a fist and chain fight with his ex-girlfriend's new lover, his ex-girlfriendstabbed him four times in the back with an eight inch butcher knife. The lack of oxygen to thebrain caused permanent damage in the form of blindness. He copes well with his four dogs,walking to town and around, a familiar figure on the streets of Yucaipa, CA. He has Sun inCancer in 1H.Chart 3: Activist: Political 7290Egyptian-American political activist. She joined the Young Zionist Underground movementat 15 and was black-listed as a subversive wanted by police. She fled to French army legionnaire,escaping by boat at Port Said; her dad had paid for her escape. She moved to France, then tothe U.S. where she married and began raising a family. She lost eyesight for a year and has Sunin Cancer in 1H.6. If the Ascendant is Leo and Sun is placed therein, the native will have night blindnessand will be strong (physically vigorous or robust).Andree: Not many charts agree to the above and why a Swagrahi Sun being placed there is anuncommon verse. Only one chart we found where there was an accident to the eye and not nightblindness.Chart: Eustace, Nicole412

American accident victim, this three-year old was struck by a car on October 1, 2004.The horrific accident occurred just outside Stoneham, MA Central Elementary School as thechildren were being released for the day. A car driven by a schoolchild’s 65-year-old grandfatheraccelerated forward onto the sidewalk instead of onto the street and crashed into a crowd ofchildren and adults. The split-second accident occurred at about 2:15 PM EST. Nicole's fiveyear-oldbrother David lost one leg to amputation and had reconstructive surgery on the otherand she suffered a fractured eye socket. Native has Sun in Leo in 1H.7. Person born in Libra Ascendant with Sun placed therein will be abandoned by hisparents, will beget stillborn child and will have heart diseases.Notes: The word conveyed by the text is that the native will get a stillborn child.Andree: Only one chart found which does not make it a dictum.Chart: Lucas, ClaudeFrench homicide, a thief and killer; he has written several books, none of which weretranslated into English. Lucas' young mother was unmarried and left the infant to be raised byhis grandmother in St-Malo. His father was a married man with a family and his mother moved toLa Baule to avoid a scandal in St. Malo. When Lucas was 18 months old, his parents took theirown lives. He did not learn about this tragic love-affair and suicide until he was 14. When hefound out in, April 1958, he was devastated. Formerly an excellent student, his school work felldramatically and he made a suicide attempt. As per the text he has Sun in Libra Asc, he wasabandoned by his parents.8. Sun placed in Capricorn Lagna makes the native a miser but with abundant wealth.9. If Ascendant at birth is Pisces and Sun is placed therein, the native will have femaleprogeny.10. Placement of Sun in Ascendant along with malefics OR Sun conjoined with Rahu andMoon is placed in 8 th from Ascendant, the native at the time of birth itself will die throughweapons.Note: The sentence is confusing. Two aspects are formed by this sentence. Sun is conjoining maleficsor Sun is conjoining Rahu. Rahu himself is a malefic but then why it is separately mentioned. The firstpart viz. the conjunction of Sun with malefics is to be in Ascendant. Probably the second part viz.conjunction of Sun and Rahu can be in any bhava but then Moon should be in the 8 th from Ascendantfor such a conjunction is probably what the author wants to convey.413

11. Ascendant Lord conjoined with malefics and is placed either in Ascendant or in 6 th orin 8 th or in 12 th will give the native a disease prone body.Note: In this verse, the author has used the word “Kroora” the original Sanskrit word for a malefic.Malefic is not the correct translation for Kroora nor benefic is correct for Soumya.Andree: Let’s see some casesChart 1: Osho RajneeshHis most prominent feature was his large, watery eyes, due to thyroid problems. He was actuallyvery ill when he arrived in Oregon, a location that was recommended as beneficial to his health.His health was always fragile.Chart 2: Charles BeaudelaireFor this gentleman, his mind was at fault and the situation degenerated because of hiscontacting syphilis. The first signs of insanity appeared in 1862. In his final years his skin wasdiscolored and his joints affected. He collapsed in March 1866 while admiring an architecturalpoint of beauty with friends in Belgian. He returned to Paris in a private railroad car some414

months later and over the next 12 months suffered a slow death from syphilis (GPI). By early1867 he scarcely remembered his own name.12. If Ascendant Lord is a malefic and is weak and placed in Ascendant, it also makes thenative prone to diseases and he will be an angry person.13. If the Ascendant Lord is placed in Kendras and/or Trikonas, the native will have nodiseases.This Canadian born native has been living in India for the past 20 years. He did getmalaria once which he got over soon and has not experienced any kind of major health problembefore or after. He is now a chi kung master.14. If the lord of the house where the Ascendant Lord is placed is in the 8 th house, thenative will get only bad results. If such a lord of the house where Ascendant Lord is placedgoes to the 6 th or 8 th house, such houses also become weak and their results will be weakened.Note: Here the 8 th house is getting repeated twice in the verse. In the first instance, the author saysthat when the Lord of the house where Ascendant Lord is placed goes to the 8 th house only bad resultswill be felt. In the second sentence when such a planet goes to the 6 th or 8 th house, then those housesbecome weak and the results also. A better clarification may be available if we refer to the originalSanskrit version if it is available with anyone.15. If Saturn is in association with Rahu or Ketu and resides in 5 th or 9 th house, or Rahuplaced in Ascendant along with malefics and Gulika is placed in the Trikonas viz. 5 th or9 th …….Note: This verse is not complete. One more line is missing in the verse which might throw light on theeffect of the placement of Saturn and Rahu or Saturn and Ketu or Saturn and other malefics intrikonas or the association of Rahu with malefics and placement of Gulika in trikonas.16. If Rahu is placed in Ascendant along with Gulika or Ascendant lord is associated withmalefics in Ascendant itself & Rahu is placed in Ascendant; the native will have fear fromsnakes, thieves and cheats or evil-minded persons.17. If in Ascendant, Sun and Saturn are conjunct or aspected, the native will have fearfrom thieves.415

Note: The author probably means that Saturn and Sun should be placed together in Ascendant or bothshould aspect the ascendant.18. If Saturn and Rahu are conjoined in Ascendant, the native will get abundant semen.Note: The word “Bruhat Bheejam” is given as it is – probably as appearing in the original Sanskrittext. So I have taken it to mean – bruhat – means large, broad, abundant etc. bheejam means – origin,source, seed, semen etc.19. If Mars is placed in Ascendant, native’s navel and testicles will be large.Note: In this verse, also the author has given a Sanskrit word as it is. Vrushanam – This is a Sanskritword meaning - The Scrotum, the bag containing the testicles. I have taken this meaning andtranslated this verse.20. If Sun aspects Ascendant, the native will have wealth from father, will be workingunder the King, will get wealth from marine sources and will be righteous.21. If Sun aspects the 2 nd house, the native will be very angry, will have diseases, will beless famous, will adore the king, will observe rituals/fast, will have connection withprostitutes, will have wealth and will be in comfort.Note: One word “Sthula Sinam” requires elaboration. Normally the Sanskrit word sthula meansbulky, heavy and it is used to denote the physical body. Sinam is a Tamil word meaning anger. Howthese two words are combined is not understandable. Hence, I have given a literal translation as Veryangry.22. If Saturn aspects Ascendant, the native will associate himself with older women,beautiful, soft and immoral women.French writer, poet, dramatist, novelist, essayist, gifted painter, architect and critic who,as an eclectic genius, was hard-working, politically active and a humanitarian. Many of hisworks were criticisms of social and political injustice. The actress Juliette Drouet who hadbecome his mistress in 1833 and was to be his companion for the rest of her life. Hugo was alusty man and Juliette was not his only mistress, but she was his most faithful. He recorded hismany sexual encounters, the last of which took place in the spring of 1885 seven weeks beforehis death.416

You can use the BSP technique that I wrote about in the last editorial as to what happenswhen Jupiter Saturn are together and how Aries is effected, as you can see that Hugo’s JupiterSaturn are together and Aries is the 7H of relationships, it is spoilt from the conservative point ofview & abundant from the non-conservative point.23. If Sun aspects the Ascendant, the native will be courageous and comfortable. He willbe liked by his father and he will live by performing the affairs of the father.24. If Moon aspects the Ascendant, the native will be famous and intelligent.American First Lady, wife of US President John F. Kennedy. A socialite, noted public figure inher own right, and publisher, she was married and widowed twice to two of the world's mostpowerful men. Raised with advantage and culture, she became a journalist.Famous here is obvious and we can rightly assume that besides being beautiful, she was alsointelligent – the facts are that she did marry two of the world's most powerful men (one timecould have been an accident but with two times, we’ll give her the credit).25. If Mars aspects Ascendant, the native will be wealthy, fond of wars and adventurous.26. If Mercury aspects Ascendant, the native will be a writer or a sculptor.The gentleman above is a media agent, a writer and art painter – Mercury is quite active for him.417

27. If Jupiter aspects Ascendant, the native will have morality (performing his religiousduties), dear to the king and a famous celebrity.28. If Venus aspects Ascendant, the native will be fond of prostitutes, will have allcomforts and be wealthy.29. If Saturn aspects Ascendant, the native will be in abject poverty, stupid and will be adeath causing person (probably to others).30. If Ascendant is aspected by benefic Moon and Venus, the native will be wealthy,famous (if the native is a woman, will be dear to the husband) and dear to his master.31. If Ascendant is aspected by Moon and Jupiter, the native will be respected by all andwill be wealthy.32. If Ascendant is aspected by Mercury and Moon, the native will acquire wealth andwill be a writer.This native is actually a litigation lawyer, earning very well and doing a lot of legal writing inaccordance with the dicta.33. If the Ascendant is aspected by Mercury and Jupiter, the native will be a commanderin-chief.Andree: Let’s see some casesObviously not all Commanders in chiefs would have Jupiter Mercury aspecting the Asc but let ussee if it is true in some cases.Chart 1: Ludwig Cruwell - Major General and WW II Panzer Commander418

German military, a Major General and WW II Panzer Commander. He served under Rommel,then succeeded him in command in Africa, he was captured by the British 5/1942. Cruwell diedin 1958. He has Jupiter Mercury in the 7H aspecting the Ascendant matching the rule given inJataka JambunaatheeyamChart 2: De Bono, Emilio- Italian generalItalian general; declared a traitor when he voted against Mussolini 7/1943; executed by firingsquad 1/11/1944, Verona. Jupiter’s 9th aspect and Mercury’s 7th aspect on the Asc satisfyingthe condition.Chart 3: Eichmann, Adolf - German Lieutenant ColonelGerman Lieutenant Colonel in the SS who drew up a "doomsday book" of 11 million Jewsscheduled for extermination. At the time, he was a hero in Nazi Germany. However, Eichmann419

went down in history as an unspeakable monster. He escaped in 1945 and was hunted for years.After he was captured, Eichmann went through a lengthy trial and was convicted as a warcriminal. Eichmann was hanged on 5/31/1962, 11:30 PM, Ramla, Israel. Mercury’s 7 th aspectand Jupiter’s 5 th aspect to the Asc satisfies the criteriaIf you notice all the 3 charts have Mercury in the 7 H and in Pisces sign.34. If Ascendant is aspected by Mercury and Venus, the native will acquire wealth, willbe a writer, will become a King and be wealthy also.For this famous personage, by exchanging the ‘writing’ for ‘painting’ which is a form of artfulwriting, the rest of the elements mentioned fit in quite well even though the ‘King’ turned out tobe a dictator.35. If the Ascendant is aspected by Jupiter and Venus, the native will become a minister.36. If the Ascendant is hemmed in between friendly planets or malefics and also aspectedby malefics, then the native will be stubborn, valorous, will be an angry person and will bevery brave.37. If the Ascendant is aspected by three benefics out of all the benefics, the native willhave special wealth or will become King.420

Mr. Bundy is such a case where the Ascendant is receiving no aspects. In fact, despite beinggood-looking, he was an American serial-killer; a man who killed women totally unknown to him,for no other reason that his desire to kill. So despite some pleasant physical characteristics,morally, he was a wreck. Still one cannot take the rule given in the above verse as a dictum.42. If the Ascendant and the fourth house are aspected by the above said planets or if allthe planets aspect the Ascendant or fourth house, then the native will become a King.43. If the Ascendant is aspected by 3 benefics or if 3 benefics are placed in Ascendant,Kings are born.American actor and top star of long duration whose first film, "The Silver Chalice," was dreadful,but led to career development and a rise into the stratosphere of Hollywood stardom. Jupiter,Venus and Mercury in his Sagittarius Ascendant have proved very beneficial. Guess we couldappropriately equate Hollywood and Bollywood stardom to kingship these days.44. If benefics are placed in the 7 th , 6 th or 8 th house from Ascendant without any maleficassociation, a yoga called Adhiyoga is formed. Those who were born under this yoga areKings and Ministers.45. If Full Moon (Waxing) is placed in Ascendant, the native will have wealth in theforms of gems, jewels and pearls. If New Moon (Waning) is in Ascendant, the native willbe a lethargic and angry person with malicious and revengeful thoughts.422

46. If Cancer and Aries are Ascendant and if waning Moon is placed therein, native willhave wealth, will be of good character. If such a Moon is there in Dvipada, Chathushpada,Bahupada rasis, the native will be a rogue, deaf, lame, dumb, or stammering.Note: It is mentioned as “Dwipada, Chathushpada and Bahupada rasis” which needs explanation.Whether the Author means Dwisvabhava by the word dwipada is not clear. “Dwisvabhava” Rasisare Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. I.e. all the four corner signs. If we take the meaning as adual sign as “Dwi” in Sanskrit means dual, then we have to omit Virgo as Dual means double bodiedsigns and Virgo has only one girl whereas the other signs have 2 bodies. He has also used the word“pada” meaning foot. So Dvipada refers to double footed signs, Chathushpada refers to four footedsigns and Bahupada refers to many footed signs. However, the definition available in the classics isgiven below from which readers may decide the results for the verse.Biped Rasis: Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius first 15 degrees, Aquarius.Quadruped Rasis: Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius last 15 degrees, Capricorn first 15 degrees.Centipede Rasis: Cancer and Scorpio.Footless rasis: Capricorn last 15 degrees and Pisces.47. If the Ascendant is aspected by benefics, native will get good results, will becomefamous, will be getting wealth, will have good personality, will get minister ship, will havecomforts and will be without diseases.48. If the Ascendant is aspected by benefics, good results will be there. If along withbenefics Moon also aspects, even if the native is a hunter or a barbarous person, he willbecome a King. If placed in own house or Great friend’s house (Athi Mithra) or inExaltation house also the above results will follow. (Note: Probably this sentence refers to theposition of Moon as well as the benefic planets referred to in the first part). If they are indebilitation houses or enemy’s houses or if Jupiter is placed in these houses (i.e. in thedebilitation or enemy houses) and Moon aspects, the native will have sorrows. In that case,the lord of the house where Moon is placed, is not aspected by Moon, all the obstacles will becleared.Note: This verse is a little complicated. The first 2 sentences talk about the aspect of benefics alone andbenefics with Moon. The third sentence doest not specifically state about aspects. It merely says if“placed” in the houses of Great friends, Own or exaltation houses. Whether this refers to the Moon orthe benefic planets or both is not clear. Again, in the next sentence also we get the same doubt. Theplacement of Jupiter and aspect of Moon is mentioned which means that we have to consider only thebenefic planets as Moon as been specifically mentioned.49. At the time of birth, if all the nine planets are in the hora of Moon and Moon is in hisown Hora or if the Moon placed in his own Hora is aspected by other planets, which are inMoon Hora, the native will become a King.50. At the time of birth, if the planets are in the hora of Sun and Moon is also in Sun’shora and Moon aspects the other planets, native will have wealth earned from his owngreatness.51. At the time of birth the planet aspected by Moon, if it has attained its own Drekkana,the native will become a King. He will have endless happiness or prosperity.52. At the time of birth if Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun and Moon aspectAries sign, the native will become a King.423

53. At the time of birth if Mercury aspects Aries sign, native will become a minister, willbe of good character, wealthy, thief.Note: Why the word thief has been included in this verse is not clear. A natural doubt arises as towhen a person is likely to become a minister, he is going to be of good character and also wealthy, howwe can expect him to be a thief. Seems to be an odd man out or like today’s ministers.54. At the time of birth, if Mercury is in Taurus, native will have aversion to sour taste,will have wealth, will become a King, will be a noble person and will have compassion.British musician who is most widely known as being a member of the mega-star group "TheBeatles." Starting in 1961, the group began setting world records in sales and by 1977 it wasestimated that the group had sold 100 million singles and 100 million albums. In 1965,McCartney and the rest of the "Fab Four," were dubbed Members of the Order of the BritishEmpire, which is one step below knighthood. After traveling the world with sold-out tours, heformed his own record label, Apple. On 1/01/97 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for"Services to Music" in 1996 and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a Solo Artist,1999.He was married in March 1969 to American photographer, animal rights activist and vegetarianLinda Eastman. After an exceptionally sound and caring marriage, he lost her to breast canceron 4/17/98, Tucson, AZ.Re: animal rights - Paul McCartney is taking over where Linda, his soul mate of 30 years, wasforced to leave off after working as an animal rights activist for 28 years. After her death, manywondered what would happen to the void she left behind. This past summer Paul chose Viva!(Vegetarians International Voice for Animals), to show the world that he and 'the kids' (Heather,Stella, Mary and James) plan to continue Linda's ardent promotion of a compassionatevegetarian lifestyle.What motivated the McCartney's in the first place? “It's always been and will always becompassion for animals.”So, Mr. McCartney fits the dicta exceptionally well – only his aversion to sour taste was notmentioned anywhere we looked but hey, not bad for a Mercury in Taurus fellow!55. At the time of birth, if Mercury is in 7 th house in Gemini (i.e. Gemini should be the7 th house means Ascendant should be Sagittarius), native will be valorous, will be a goodweaver and wealthy.424

56. If the said Mercury is in own house in Virgo, the native will have poetical knowledge,wealth like a King, a Jyotishi (astrologer), rule the lands, fond of women, cruel,Commander-in chief, dull, will be associated with poverty stricken people.57. At the time of birth, if Mercury occupies Libra, native will be a cruel King, will bedoing a goldsmith work i.e. will work with gold and other ornaments, will be the foremostamong traders and foremost among the wicked men.58. If the Ascendant is Cancer and the fifth house Scorpio becomes the house for progenyand if Mercury is placed there, the native will have two sons, will be lame, may be a dhobi,will be without wealth.59. At the time of birth, If Mercury is in Libra, the native will be a brave person, bestperson, will become a King, will be liberal, and will have the flag of righteousness.60. At the time of birth, if Mercury is placed in Capricorn, the native will become a Kingamong Kings and will never be bereft of wealth.Amazingly, here is a Christian king: he was crowned Pope Pius XII 3/12/1939. At the beginningof World War II he spoke out against the Nazis, helped Jews with false baptismal certificates, andallowed thousands to stay in Vatican City, convents and cloisters.61. At the time of birth, if Mercury is placed in Aquarius, the native will be a Kingrunning after women, will be a minister to King, will be after kingly comforts and will be asinner.62. At the time of birth if Mercury is placed in Pisces, the native will be a sinner, knowsjokes, will become king, will have old age qualities, will have severe cruelness.63. This result is applicable to Ascendant or to Moon Ascendant (i.e. Taking the positionof Moon in the chart as Ascendant) or to the Ascendant Lord.64. If Full Moon is there in Ascendant, native will have good character and Wealth.65. If waning Moon is placed in Ascendant, native will have sluggishness, will be awicked man, an angry person.425

66. If the Ascendant is Cancer, Aries, Taurus and if Waning Moon is placed therein, or ifsuch a Moon is in Biped rasis or quadruped rasis or in the Vargas of the quadruped rasis, thenative will have wealth, character and also a debauchee, deaf, dumb and of less intelligence.67. At the time of birth Sagittarius, Libra, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn are to be theAscendant and if Saturn is placed therein the native will be a king with beautiful limbs, willbe a learned man. He will be a head of a town or village.This dicta matches somewhat with the last US elections… Maybe because both Mr. Obama andMr. McCain fit within its parameters as we can see here…Thus ends this chapter.426

SRI GANAPATHAYE NAMAHThe Enigma CalledArudhas – Part 1BPHS SeriesByMadhura Krishnamurthi SastriTranslation & Proofing: VenkataRamana & Shanmukha, IndiaReadership Level: Very AdvancedA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeOne of the oldest authorities on JaiminiAstrology, he graced the AstrologicalMagazine in 1960s under immensepersuasion of Late Dr Raman and gave ussome rare jewels in Jaimini Astrology. Atthe age of 80, he lives in a small town inAndhra Pradesh. Incidentally not many inIndia & West know that Andhra Pradeshhas been the land of Jaimini Astrology afterBanaras. Revered Sastriji leads a strictBrahminical life along with being veryopen minded & extremely humble. Hishumility only shows his supreme masteryover astrology. He and IrangantiRangacharya are considered as theforemost authorities alive today in JaiminiAstrology. Mr Sastri has supportedSaptarishis Astrology right from itsinception stage.Publishers Note:In these series, we will publish the translationof Sri Madhura Krishnamurthi Sastri’s BPHScommentary. In his commentary, Sri Sastri hasextensively quoted various other commentaries onJaimini system when commenting on BPHS’s Arudhachapter. Like any scholarly approach towards asubject, he as a scholar has quoted the variousviewpoints needed to understand arudhas. We hopethis will enable the readers to appreciate andunderstand the Jaimini system in detail & understandfor the first time that arudhas are not easy as it seemsand ancient scholars like Somanatha, Neelakantha,Gautam Rishi & KrishnaMishra also had divergentviews which are not known so far thus for students inthis era to say with surety that only one way ofcalculating arudhas is the only truthful way is nonproductive& non-scholarly.An apology to Shri Madura Shastri is due fromour end for the delay & slackness in our publishing.Also apologies to Shri Venkat Raman who hastranslated this since a year. Shanmukha must bethanked for typing the Sanskrit devanigiri, proofing &formatting this translation which is dear to us. ShriShastri has in his magnanimous nature granted uspermission to translate his BPHS commentary for thebenefit of English readers. One must note that K.N.Raohas praised Shri Maduraji’s translation as one of thefinest in the old ‘Jyotish Group’ forum if memory servesus right. Though many have taken Shri Shastri’sBPHS & quoted on forums & blogs without giving himcredit what is important to note is that a commentarylike this with so many shlokic reference on Arudhachapter has never appeared ever before & lets not forgetMaduraji did it first.]427

Similarly, the Arudhas of the remaining bhavas are to be arrived at.Of the 12 Arudhas, Arudha of Ascendant is very important.M.K.S Explanation: For a native of Aries ascendant the lord Mars is posited in the 9 th SignSagittarius. For this native the Arudha will be 9 th from Sagittarius i.e., Leo. This is alsoknown as Tanubava Pada or Arudha Lagna. For the same native second house lord Venus ifposited in Capricorn, the Arudha of the second house will be Virgo as Venus moved ninesigns from the second. Therefore the Arudha of the 2 nd house would be 9 houses fromCapricorn which is Virgo. Similarly the Arudhas of other bhavas are to be calculated.Names of the ArudhasBhava (House)Name of Arudha428

and Kalidasaa in ‘Uttarakaalamrita’ have taken only eight arudhas. The rationale in takingonly eight arudhas by Gautama Samhita and Kalidasa in Uttarakaalamrita appears that, forestablishing the Yogas like Dhana (Wealth), Bhagya (Luck), RaajyaPrapti (Gain ofkingdom), Keerti (Fame), Sarwabowma (Emperor), Rajavandya (Appreciation from King),Raja Sambanda (having good relationship with king), the above eight Arudhas are sufficientand other Arudhas of 3 rd , 6 th , 8 th and 11 th bhavas need not be seen for the dhana, bhagyayogas. These (3 rd , 6 th , 8 th and 11 th ) Arudhas can be used to know the general good and badeffects of respective houses.This author could lay hands only on the Gautama Samhita which uses Arudha forpredicting these Dhana and Raja Yogas. The other classics ‘Jatakaparijata’, ‘Phaladeepika’and ‘Sarvartha Chintamani’ have neither dealt nor discussed about the Arudhas.Uttarakaalamrita has dealt very briefly on these Yogas.We give below the yogas given in Gautama Samhita using Arudha Padas.1. Raja Yoga Sandhana2. Dvatrimsha rajayogas3. Vishesha Yogas (Prabhu Yogas)4. Normal Rajayogas5. Dhana, Vahanaand Bhagya Yogas6. Visesha Dhana YogasThe above yogas can be delineated according to the respective Arudha, lord of Arudha andthe aspect and association of other planets.Special rules (Exceptions) in Calculation of Arudha :(बृ.प.हो.सा:)4. ानं समं न ैवपदं भिवतुमहर्िततिन ्पदेिवज्ञेयं मंतुय बमादम ्svasthānaṁ saptamaṁ naivapadaṁ bhavitumarhatitasmin padatvevijñeyaṁ madhyaṁturyaṁ kramātpadamTranslation: The concerned house 1 and its Seventh house cannot become Arudha of thehouse. If Own House happens to be the Arudha, the 10 th House should be considered instead,as the Arudha of the house. Similarly, if the 7 th house happens to be Arudha, then 4 th houseshould be considered as Arudha.(बृ.प.हो.सा:)1 Here house means the Rashi/Sign for which Arudha is being calculated. For Example when Arudha for Scorpio is beingcalculated then this sign (Scorpio) is treated as own House and not Aries though owned by Mars.432

But when we apply the above exception, 7 thcannot become the Arudha, then 4th it self becomes the Arudha. Similarly, if AscendantLord is posited in the 7 th house, Ascendant itself becomes Arudha in normal course, and thenthe 10 th house becomes the Arudha as an exception to the general rule. Similar procedure isto be followed for other Bhavas also.Explanation: Jaimini Sutras viz.यावदीशाौयं पदमृक्षणं १-१-२९े दाराह १-१-३०सुते ज १-१-३१yāvadīśāśrayaṁ padamṛkṣaṇaṁ 1-1-29svasthe dārāha 1-1-30sutasthe janma 1-1-31The above Jaimini Sutras do support the exception given by BPHS.In ‘KaTaPaYa’ numeric the word svasthe gets numerical values~4 and the word dārāha (Da~8 and Ra ~2. If these are written in reverse order it becomes 28. This number when dividedby 12 gives a reminder ~4) also gets a value ~4. Therefore, when bhava/Sign Lord is in 4 thfrom itself then 4 th becomes the Arudha. For Aries Ascendant if Mars is in fourth houseCancer according to the normal calculation fourth from Cancer viz, Libra will become theArudha. But as per the exception explained above Cancer itself becomes Arudha. Similarly,the second lord Venus from Aries Ascendant is in Leo (fourth from Taurus) Leo becomesthe Arudha of the 2nd house.The next Sutra (Rule) “sutasthe janma” the word ‘suta’ gets numerical value ~7 (Su~7 andTa~6. If written in reverse order it becomes 67 and when divided by 12 reminder is 7). Theword ‘janma’ gets a numerical value~10 (JA~8 and Ma~5. when written in reverse order itbecomes 58. If divided by 12 the reminder would be 10). Therefore, if Ascendant lord is in the7th house then 10th becomes Arudha.The above two exceptions shall be applied for calculating the Arudha for other bhavas aswell.M.K.S Important Note: When Ascendant lord in the 10th house (10th from 10th house) 7thbecomes the Arudha and Ascendant lord is in Ascendant then Ascendant itself becomes433

Arudha. In these two cases the above Exception i.e., own house, Seventh house cannotbecome Arudha of a house, is not applicable.There is a difference of opinion among the scholars on calculation of Arudhawhich are dealt hereunder for the convenience of the readers.a) Bṛhat paraśara horasaraṁśā by ṣridhara Vyākhyā and BPHS at Mumbai byGanesha Dattaबृहत ्परशर होरसरंशा - ौीधर ाायिदलेर क्ष कलऽ संितोऽथवाअढलिमाजर्लगं िजोमyadilagneśvara ssarkṣe kalatra saṁsthito'thavāaruḍhalagnamityāhurjanmalagaṁ dvijottamaTranslation: When Ascendant lord is either in Ascendant or 7 th house Ascendant becomesArudha. No exceptions are given for this rule in these two BPHS versions.b) Jaimini Sutras (commentary by Neelakantha)अथाढोदहरणपं सूऽयमाहलाे चतुथर्े लािमिन दराः सपतमःाािशलर्ाढं भवित संकेतमाऽापेक्षिमदं नतुकतपयािद संज्ञापेम ्लाुते समे ल ािमिन लमाढं भवतीथर्ःयावदीशेित सूऽेणैविसे एतूऽय मुदाहरणारा ाथ पिठतिमितathārūḍhodaharaṇarūpaṁ sūtradvayamāhalagnātsvasthe caturthasthe lagnasvāmini darāḥ sapatamasthrāśirlagnārūḍhaṁ bhavati saṁketamātrāpekṣamidaṁ natukatapayādi saṁjñāpekśamlagnātsute saptame lagna svāmini lagnamārūḍhaṁ bhavatītyarthaḥyāvadīśeti sūtreṇaivasiddhe etatsūtradvaya mudāharaṇadvārā spaṣṭārthaṁ paṭhitamitiTranslation: As per Neelakantha the word ‘Darah’ in the Sutra “Swasthe Darah” indicatesonly the Seventh (Kalatra) house. He suggests that when Ascendant lord is in 4 th House 7 thhouse becomes Arudha. Similarly, if Ascendant lord is in 7 th House Ascendant becomesArudha.Explanation: Neelakantha mentioned that the above Sutras were only examples and had notgiven any basis for his interpretation and also not shown any supporting arguments for the434

same. Further, the opinion is given without applying the ‘Ka Ta Pa Ya’ numericvalues which is very crucial in interpreting Jaimini.c) Durga Prasada Dwivedi, - Jaimini Padyamrutodahrutamअऽ ामी े िन ्(=४) िततीित लातुथ लनाथेसित दारः (२८/१२= ४) चतुथर्गतोरािशलर्पदं ात ्सुते सुते (६७/१२ = ७ ) िततीित लामेिते लनाथेसित ज(५८/ १२ = १०) दशमगतो रािशलर् पदं ात ्अ नीलकं ठ वृौ दारा शेन समरािशजर्शेन जरािशिरित ाउयानं सवर्ऽ सवणर् भावाराशय १-१-३३ ईित सुऽ िवापेम ्atra svāmī svasthe svasmin (=4) tiṣṭhatīti lagnāccturthe lagnanāthesati dāraḥ (28 /12 = 4)caturthagato rāśirlagnasyapadaṁ syāt sutasthe sute (67/12 = 7) tiṣṭhatīti lagnātsaptamesthitelagnanāthesati janma (5812 10) daśamagato rāśirlagnasya padaṁ syāt asya nīlakaṁṭha vṛttaudārā śabdena saptamarāśirjanma śabdena janmarāśiriti vyāyānaṁ sarvatra savarṇabhāvārāśayaśca 1-1-33 īti sutra viruddhatvādupekṣyamTranslation: Durga Prasada Dvivedi explained that 4th will be Arudha if lagna lord is in 4thand 10th will be Arudha, if lagna lord is in 7th.

Forexample Native of Capricorn, Arudha lagna has to be calculated either from Capricorn orLeo whichever is stronger.पदं समानीय िवचेन पदबमणैव िवचारिणयम ्ओजेषुयुग्मेषुतदधा दबमोयं िवभुधैः ूणीतःpadaṁ samānīya vicakṣṇena padakramaṇaiva vicāraṇiyamojeṣu yugmeṣu tadanyadhāsya tpadakramoyaṁ vibhudhaiḥ praṇītaḥTranslation: After calculating the Arudha as above, the placement of Planets to be decidedeither Clockwise or Anti-clockwise from AL depending on the signs being Odd or Even.This is explained in the following Para.Explanation:• For a Native of Libra Ascendant if Venus is posited in Gemini (9 th House) along withMercury, 9 th sign from Gemini that is Aquarius becomes the AL. In such a situationwe can say that Venus and Mercury are located in 5 th house from the AL (countingClockwise).• For a Native of Taurus Ascendant if Venus and Mercury located in Gemini (2ndsign) the 2nd from Gemini (Cancer) becomes the AL. In this case if we say Mercuryand Venus are in 12th from AL it is wrong. Since Cancer is an Even Sign theplacement of the Planets is to be counted Anti-Clockwise. Therefore, it is right to saythat Mercury and Venus are in the 2nd from AL. There will be a lot of difference inthe results announced considering the planets in the 12th house rather than in the 2ndhouse from AL (Mercury and Venus in this case).पदं िवलािधपते वर्दि ूधान मेतु िवलराशेःबलाबले दैविव पदं िविनिद वदेथाधर्म ्पद ूवृिनर् िह रातात ्बलािधकािप न केतुतीासुताकर्सुतोधीशौ दशािवभागे बलवानधीशःpadaṁ vilagnādhipate rvadanti pradhāna manyetu vilagnarāśeḥbalābale daivavidūhya paścatpadaṁ vinirdisya vadedyathārdham437

If this argument is accepted, for Scorpio Marsand Ketu and for Aquarius Saturn and Rahu are considered as the Lords. Here, even if Ketuis stronger than Mars and Rahu is stronger than Saturn, Arudha should be calculated onlyfrom Mars or Saturn as the case may be and not from Rahu or Ketu. The strength of Rahuand Ketu should be considered only for calculating the Dasha (Directions) periods.खेटे तथा क्षर्गते चतुथ पदं भवेमगे च िरःफम ्अऽ च क्षर्गते तदेव पदं िवलािधपते वर्दिkheṭe tathā svarkṣagate caturthaṁ padaṁ bhavetsaptamage ca riḥphamanyatra ca svarkṣagate tadeva padaṁ vilagnādhipate rvadantiTranslation: While discussing the exceptions for calculation of Arudha, Krishna Mishrastates that if Ascendant Lord is in Ascendant, 4 th House and if he is in 7 th House, 10 thHouse becomes Arudha. Further, if Ascendant Lord is either in 4 th or 10 th House then 7 thHouse becomes the Arudha.MKS Notes: It is felt that Sri Somanatha has applied the analogy as followed by KrishnaMishra for the exceptions of calculation of Arudhas. This requires further thought by theScholars.h) rāghavabhaṭṭa - jātaka sārasaṁgrahāShri Gottumukkala Raghava Bhatta in his “Jataka Sarasangraha” dated the yearShalivahana Saka 1626, considered these sutras refer to only for calculations of DashaPeriods.े दाराह १-१-३०सुते ज १-१-३१svasthe dārāha 1-1-30sutasthe janma 1-1-31इितायेन ािमयु रािशार्दश वषार्िकऽथवाािमिन समे दशा दशवषर्िका भवितitinyāyena svāmiyukta rāśirdvādaśa varṣātmika'thavāsvāmini saptamasthe daśā daśavarṣatmikā bhavatiTranslation: He took the word Daraha (828 / 12 = 12) instead of Dara, further states that ifthe Lord is in Own House, the Dasha period of that sign will be for 12 years and if Lord isin 7 th House, the Dasha Period of that sign will be of 10 years.438

He further stated ifAscendant Lord is in 10 th house then 7 th House becomes the Arudha.MKS Conclusion: After going through various commentaries on the subject, it is felt thatthe view adopted by this commentator appears to be in conformity with the views expressedin BPHS on Jaimini concepts.Further, Neelakantha and various other scholars in their commentaries mentioned thatAscendant and 7th House becomes Arudha on two occasions. For Example when AscendantLord is in Ascendant or in 7 th House, Ascendant becomes Arudha. Similarly, 7 th housebecomes Arudha, when the Ascendant Lord in 4 th or 10 th house.The views of Krishna Mishra and Samantha are tabulated below. In their system Ascendantnever become Arudha and 7th House becomes Arudha on two occasions.Asc Lord placed InAscendantArudha sign (From Asc)4 th house439

4 th house 7 th house7 th house 10 th house10 th house 7 th houseWhen ‘Ka Ta Pa Ya’ Numeric’s are applied to the Sutras ‘Swasthe Darah’ and ‘SutastheJanma’ if Ascendant Lord in 4th house then 4th House is the Arudha and if Ascendant lordin 7th House, 10th House becomes the Arudha. Further, when Ascendant Lord is inAscendant or 10th House then Ascendant or 7th house becomes Arudha. In this method allthe four houses 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are getting the status of Arudha. BPHS is alsosupporting this view of this author and therefore this can be adopted as the standard. Asmany of the scholars are in agreement with the authors’ view on the exceptions incalculation of Arudha, which are given here in a tabular form for easy understanding. Thesame is applicable for calculating Arudha Pada for all the BhavasLocation ArudhaAscendant Lord Own house AscendantAscendant lord Fourth House Fourth houseAscendant lord 7 th House Tenth HouseAscendant Lord 10 th House Seventh HouseSpecial Note: In Jyothisha Shastra (Astrology) and Aagama Shastra (traditional view) whenthere is a difference of opinion among the scholars the opinion accepted by majority of themshould be followed.ोितषमागमशां िवूितपौ न योग्यमाकम ् ।यमेव िवकियतु ं िकु बनां मतवे॥jyotiṣamāgamaśāstraṁ vipratipattau na yogyamasmākam |svayameva vikalpayituṁ kintu bahūnāṁ matavakṣye ||To Be Continued …440

The reference toAhiamsha seems to indicate that the reference is to Kālkoota amsha as Ahi means a serpent or serpentof skies, and serpents being poisonous this could be refering to Kālkoota amsha or nadi.

There is no reason oneshould be troubled by urinary disease due to doing some good deeds (Punyeshu), that the said line seemsto imply and sharaadya would mean 15 years if adi is taken to be beginning and shara as 5. In thebackground of all that is given earlier, it does not seem to be the correct age. So I have taken the libertyof treating the word adi as the age of 60 mentioned in earlier shloka. I am sure that if I am wrong thelearned will correct me.sMpd

He proceeds to the higher world ( after death) due to the wealth of his good deeds, which act as anarmour (against any misdeeds that he might have done).Chandrashekhar’s Comment:There is an annotation in red, prior to this shloka indicating that this could relate to Sampada amsha.However the Guru nadi does not give Sampada as the name of any amsha. Addditionally what happensto the jataka after he is troubled by Meha disease is not mentioned in earlier shloka and this shlokamight be explaining what happens to him after he, perhaps, dies after contracting the urinary disease atage of sixty five.I must mention here that at some places the amshas indicated by the transcriber of the original text donot match the names given in the Guru nadi itself and I have then taken the liberty to indicate whichmight be their correct name after looking at the meaning of the word. If I have misinterpreted this, thefault squarely lies at my doorsteps and not that of the original Author of the nādi, Achyuta, nor thetranscriber.I think the following refers to the next nādi (to kalkoota) that is Shankari nadi.za»rI nafIçäìkaré näòé4 th NadiAmsha – ShankaryamshamResults Of ShankarI Amsha/nadi:Note: For Shankar Amsha this meansA) 0°48' to 1° 00' for Moveable AscendantsB) 29°00' to 29°12' for Fixed Ascendants &C) 15°48' to 16°00' for Dual Sign Ascendantsiviloe¾atk< píaÚasaE imWyavcaeÉvet!,guraE tdaceÌaEra àgLÉvan!.vilikhejjätakaà paçcännäsau mithyävacobhavet |gurau tadäcedgauräìgassamagätraù pragalbhavän ||The jataka of the next nadi (ShankarI) is of fair complexion and has a large and proportionate bodyand is illustrious.

Sukra Nadi Grantha -1Translated ByN.Sundara Rajan, IndiaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeN. Sundara Rajan's name needs nointroduction; he has played mentor andfriend to most astrological magazineswhether it be R Santhanams, B V Ramans orStar Teller and now Saptarishis Astrology.He started astrology in 1956, created one ofthe first astrology softwares, has writtenmore than 1000 articles since 1963 in DrRamans magazine and others, has published4 books, created the Vincity ephemeris, hisayanamsa is called the Sundara RajanAyanamsa adopted by 2 internationalsoftwares and his friend, mentor was thelegend of legends of yesteryears theHighness of Nadi Astrology Late C GRajan. Although Shri Sundara Rajan hasnumerous stunning world predictions to hiscredit but he is phenomenally humble manwhich only shows the grace of Rishis.http://www.vincityastrotemple.com/[SA Publisher:We wish to thank humble R.Ramanathan, coreteam member of Saptarishis Astrology & Mr R.ChandraMohan, Curator of Oriental Manuscript Library, ChennaiUniversity Campus for making available 500 pages of thismanuscript of Sukra Nadi to Saptarishis Astrology which ispresented at the end of the translation. In total there are5000 pages. Mr Ramanathan worked very hard to get thisand inspite of his & our efforts to contact many scholars itwas only Shri Sundara Rajan who finally agreed inspite ofhis old age and health issues to translate into English thisTamil Sanskrit Grantha Lipi Manuscript into English forthe readers of Saptarishis Astrology. We had almost givenup on this rare knowledge piece but Mr Sundara Rajancame forward to do it. We wish to request all readers ofSaptarishis Astrology to pray atleast once a week for ShriSundara Rajan to get the desired energy to translate thisrare work as fast as possible. If others can come forward intranslating this work they would be doing the highestservice to the Rishis. On a last note one must compare ourcurrent methods of predictions and see how and what therishi is predicting, the huge gap found will only make usrealize that we know nothing of astrology.]ForewordThe translation is from the verybeginning and whatever was therein the original manuscript has beentranslated by me. The salutations, obviouslyto Sri Pranatharthihara Swamy is at thevery start. Yes, this is the full chartpredictions, as given so far in the Nadi.However, on a cursory glance of the pagesemailed by you, I think Page 4 starts withdelineation of a new chart. I have givenword by word translation of whatever theoriginal contains. You may see from thetranslation, at the end, the Rishi has saidthat predictions should be based on DhruvaSoothra and Dhruva Nadi. It is obvious thatthe author of both Sukra Nadi and DhruvaNadi is the illustrious sage Sathyacharya,the author of SATHYACHARYAM.449

An attempt made shows 31 st Jan 1829, 01:30 as the approximate time to match Rasi Chartbut Navamsa position of Jup, Ketu does not match nor does nakshatra pada of Jyeshta.450

Shri N Sundara Rajan says ‘The relevant shloka, transliterated:- LabheseVikramsthane Sukhendre Kendra Rasige Nathee Pranthye…. Etc which means 11 th lord in 3 rd and 4 th lord in kendra inhandwritten manuscript, I feel it is an error in manuscript; it could have been Lagneshe instead of Labhese which wouldmean Lagna Lord (Venus) in 3 rd , but I have simply translated the original as it was in the scan copy sent by you.’3 SA Publisher: This kind of verse & verse before it has never been found in our classics nor written by any modern writers.This verse throws open a huge wide world of research & journey for the honest student, kindly ponder on it.

Sukar Nadi - 6Venus In Different HousesBySaptarishis Astrology TeamSA PublisherWe have received a lot of mails on how people have tested the verses of Sukar Nadi that wasprinted earlier in this column. For those who came in late, they must keep in mind that what isgiven in Sukar Nadi is not to be found in the normal texts of Vedic Astrology, thereby showing thebrilliance of Sukar Rishi. Also, one must not follow the rules blindly but test it vigorously and notget carried away by the examples posted by us.æ‹ ÿ ñý£ èíðî«ò ïñý!æ‹ ÿ ꣌ó£‹!å¡P ²‚Aó¡ Þ¼‚°‹ ðô¡ô‚Aù‹ î¡Q ²‚Aó Q¼‰î£Ý»² M¼ˆF» ñ£°‹I‚è«õ ó£èªñ´Šð¡ «ü£Còõ£¡ªñœ÷«õ Mõ£ýº‹ Ý°‹î‚è«õ èEî ê£vFóõ£F¬îòô£ îóˆF¡ðŠ HKò¡C‚Aù¡ ïô þíˆF«ô º®»‹C‰¬îJ G¬ùŠð âô£‹. 184Venus in I HouseLong life, astrologer, late marriage, knowledge of music (the term raga can also beinterpreted as ‘will earn lot of name and fame), mathematician, fond or lover of sensualpleasures of woman, will complete or achieve what ever he thinks or plans.Publisher’s Commentary:Whenever one sees such a simple classical statement it is obvious that one cannot take itblindly yet it is often found that obsessive forum writers pounce on anyone who would everquote a similar above statement as done by Sukar Rishi. It is this habit of obsessive criticswhich has blocked many from studying the science in the scientific manner in which theRishi wrote it. Rishi wanted us to study the deeper meaning behind his statements and if wecan criticize in today’s worlds such statements by Rishis, do you think the Rishis wouldhave been foolish to write such a statement in his era when Jyotish knowledge and teachingwas so critical and Shastriac (scholarly). Lets take it this way after a search in Astro DataBank one gets 2172 approximate charts, out of which only 212 cases where found to be thatof musicians, rock stars who exhibit ‘knowledge of music’ as given by Sukar Rishi. Venus inthe 1 st house the Rishi says can make one an astrologer and thus out of 2172 charts only231 charts were those of astrologers & only 20 cases of late or never married & only 7 casesof mathematicians & 101 cases of long life. These 2172 charts were from a database of32,000 charts. Lets quickly see few chartsChart 1: Alcott, Amos Bronson – Long LifeAmerican visionary and cultured man of letters.

Prior to becoming a professional, he was a Hollywood scriptwriter in his youth. Greatly interested in metaphysics, he and the gifted clairvoyant ElsieWheeler set about to find a set of symbols for every degree of the zodiac that was animprovement on degree symbology existent. One day in 1925 in San Diego's Balboa Park,Jones took a series of 360 small blank cards on each of which was noted a sign and degreeon the back and held them up for Wheeler to describe her vision. The cards were shuffledcontinually to keep the selection random. The images did not seem entirely appropriate, orsome were exaggerated, so the cards were put aside until 1931, when the definitions wererevised, a process that was repeated in 1948. The results were first published in 1951.In 1978, two years before his death, Jones was given a respectful and affectionate 90thbirthday party by 200 colleagues while planning his next book. Jones died on 3/05/1980,Stanwood, WA. He had Venus in the 1H.Chart 3: Lopez, Vincent – Numerologist + Bandleader + Long LifeAmerican author and bandleader.

Furtherin this stanza, the words ‘ undathu sengoal servai bhogaavane’ indicates probably thathe will enjoy the comforts of government service relating to justice service say judge ofhigh or supreme court sort of.185Publishers Commentary:Sukar Rishi says that Venus in 2 nd house can make a person be in government servicerelating to Justice Service which means judges/jurists/legal system employees. We foundonly 40 charts of judges/legal system employee/attorney/court reporter out of a total of1995 charts with Venus in 2H. In these 34 cases we extended the interpretation from justGovt job to even private attorneys otherwise only 9 cases of Govt employees who are judges.Pls find below only 2 illustrationsChart 1: Pazzianoto, Almir – Brazilian JuristBrazilian jurist for the Ministry of Trabalho. One can see that Venus is in 2H as per SukarNadi with Jupiter the 6L of courts in 2H of administration and source of income. AlsoJupiter is the 9L of dharma & righteousness of the natural zodiac, one of the tasks of aJurist is to be righteous in his decisions and see that injustice is not done. Venus is the PK465

– Putra Karaka – putra means children which is 5H and 5H is also the Seat Of Power, anoft forgotten fact in vedic astrology. Venus here did give him the seat of power by makinghim Jurist for the Ministry of Trabalho.Chart 2: Manuel, Wiley -American attorney, judge and government appointeeAmerican attorney, judge and government appointee, the first black Supreme Court jurist.The son of a dining car porter and a domestic, Manuel was first in his law class, earning hisdegree in 1953. He became assistant to the Attorney General of California 1970-71 and wasappointed to the California Supreme Court 2/12/1977. A Grand Knight of the BerkeleyCouncil of the Knights of Columbus, Manuel was also a rector at St. Paschal's CatholicChurch in Oakland, CA. You can see that it matches with Sukar Nadi with native havingVenus the 10 th lord of profession is in the 2H of income.Sukar Rishi further writes that one with Venus in the 2H can be born with a silverspoon. See cases listed below.Chart 1: Duke, Doris – American Heiress – No 18 on Forbes ListAmerican heiress, No. 18 on Forbes magazine list of the 400 wealthiest people in the U.S. in1993. She had three marriages and divorces with one baby daughter who died shortly afterbirth in 1940. At age 25, Duke inherited an estimated $100 million in trusts from her dad,James Buchanan Duke, a coarse but brilliant self-made man who founded the American466

Tobacco Company and the Duke Power Company. He also instilled in her his own completedistrust of anyone. She was instructed from childhood that no one would ever love her foranything but her money. You can see that Venus is in 2HChart 2: March, Marion – Not With Silver SpoonGerman-American astrologer who began her studies in 1966 and was a top professional by1970. She co-authored, with Joan McEvers, the best-selling six volume series entitled "TheOnly Way To Learn Astrology,” By 1984, 50,000 books had been sold. Marion was the cofounderof Aquarius Workshops in 1973 and editor of Aspects journal from 1973-1979. Herparents had lean years as her father would not accept help from his wife’s father, a wellknownpublisher, wanting to make his own way. When Marion was born, they lived in awalk-up flat.Here is a case of not being born in a Silver Spoon and it is purposely illustrated so thatyoung ones don’t get carried away when a shloka is exhibited with more number ofexamples making one predict blindly. The native has Venus in 2H and was not born with asilver spoon but later her father went on to buy the bank where he worked for.467

Sukar Rishi says in Sukar Nadi that Venus in the 2 nd house can make one have eyediseases or can even cause blindness. One cannot forget that 2H is the house of eyes,division of right and left eye comes later but primary house of eyes is 2H and that is thereason the Rishi has written the above statement. Now 13 cases of the eye ailments werefound. One must not forget the Puranic story of Bali and Vishnu in Vamana Avatar whereSukracharya (Venus) was made blind by the straw. The straw was pierced in the pot byVamana who is considered the Jupiter Avatar of Lord Vishnu (Mercury). So one can watchfor Venus in Jupiterean signs or vice versa. Those interested in finding out astrological cluesfrom Puranas should venture into it wholeheartedly as a lot from it has still not been writtenin English Vedic Astrology writings.Chart 1: Christina, Princess Netherland – Eye AilmentDutch royalty and fourth daughter of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard, sister of QueenBeatrix. While pregnant with her, her mother visited an orphanage where she caughtGerman measles, leaving Marijke born with an incurable visual handicap. You can see thatVenus is in the 2 nd house which can cause eye ailments or blindness as per Sukar Nadi andit is in Jupiter’s sign. Incidentally Mercury (Vishnu) is in the 4H of mother, her mothervisited the orphanage where she caught German measles leaving Marijke (Christina) beingborn with an incurable visual handicap.Chart 2: Pope Clement XII – BlindnessItalian ecclesiastic, elected Roman Catholic pope 7/12/1730.

Milton spent his last nineyears in a cottage (now a museum) and died on 11/08/1674, Chalfont St. Giles, England.Now after you have seen the above 4 examples read the BSP-15 on Graha Sutras of Venus and you can seeit applies aptly on above charts with Venus where he sits, there he causes medical problems. 2H is thehouse of eyes, division of left and right eye comes later but 2H is the house of eyes.Í¡ø£IìˆF ²‚Aó¡ Þ¼‚°‹ ðô¡ñ¬ö‚«è£À Í¡ø£IìˆFQ L¼‰î£ñ£î£¾‹ M˜ˆF» ñ£õ£œåN‰Fìîòõ¡ î£þ‡ò ºœ«÷£¡àˆîñÂì¡ Hø‰«î£˜‚°H¬öJô£Š HE»‹ ÜKw캋 è£μ‹Í¡Á«ñ ó£è«ñ HKò¡î¬öˆFì äòº‹ ê«è£îKõ‰‹îóE«ñ ê…ê£ó ªùù«õ 186Venus in III HouseGrowth to Mother, kind hearted, bothers about others feelings (in other word, don’t liketo hurt others by being straight talker), good person, siblings will suffer with illness andsickness, fond of all the three forms of fine arts, say literature, music and drama, after hissister’s birth, will have victory in his endeavors, travels widely across the globe(«õÁ)ªêŠð‚«èœ Í¡øF«ô ²ƒèQ¡ø£îóEîQ õ‰î ð£ô蘂° Mˆ¬îªñˆîåŠð‚«èœ ñˆFòˆF è‡ì‹ õ£Œˆîà‡ì£AŠ H¡°íñ£‹ àì¡HøMÜŠð«ù ÜŸðñ£‹ ñ¬ùM«ïò¡Ý›‰F†ì 輈œ÷£¡ Üó«ê ݃°îŠð£ñ ðôñ£ õLò„«ê˜õ£œî£ªò¡Á‹ ð£ó£ñ ¹í˜õ£¡ ñ¡ù£ 187Highly skilled or Highly Educated, there is a ‘kandam’ (means danger ) during mid part469

Venus is a planet of fine arts like music and it is placed in the 3H which is thenatural house of mercury in the natural zodiac of Aries Asc hence the Rishi could have saidliterature and drama too as Mercury is significator of literature. Rishis also points out thatsuch a native will have many affairs with the woman willing to do so with him.Chart 1: Elvis Presley – Music + WomanVenus is placed in the 3H and he was a great musician whose songs are immortal. He hadadmitted to having slept with more than 10,000 woman is what is rumored.

mentions that the native will be top most in his position like a commander in chief and ifthis Venus is aspected by Jupiter then native will be attached to his mother and his famewould growth is indescribable, will earn unique popularity in his state, will not work expectmoney from anybody and will accumulate it through his hard work. All these qualities arerarely to be found in one chart unless the planet is very strong.Example 1: Paramhansa YoganandaYou can see that Venus is in the 4H and is also aspected by Jupiter from 8H of occult whois with 9L of higher knowledge Mars, now this writer vaguely remembers reading thatParamhansa Yogananda was attached to his mother but other points are clear that he didnot work for money. Regarding fame everyone knows that today his book Autobiography of aYogi is one of the most widely read work and he revealed Kriya Yoga to the West andinstrumental to the East in modern day India. This Venus which is aspected by occultJupiter (light) is the 3L of writing and 10L of karma making his work immortal andmatching with the text. If you have read this issue’s editorial you would have rememberedthe technique of Sage Bhrighu of Ketu & name, here it is in the 3H of writing and heestablished his name in esoteric writing.Example 2: Jawaharlal Nehru472

Sukar Rishi says that the native will be top most in his position like a commander in chief ifVenus is in 4H, this is observed in the chart of Jawaharlal Nehru who became the 1 st PrimeMinister of India inspite of there being other contenders.Principle: Just to re-iterate, the most common mistake committed by young ones and evenmany scholars is to take everything Rishi wrote blindly and then get disappointed when asin this case with Venus in 4H not everyone is at the top of his/her profession. What isimportant is to try to decipher the underlying principle in what Rishi wrote and rememberthe logic and apply it in charts along with Yogas and other combinations to arrive at aprediction, otherwise why would the Rishi write such a loose statement, would he not knowthat there would be many charts where his sutra would not work. Take the above exampleof Venus in 4H can make one Commander in Chief/Head of State, see 4H is the house ofThrone, 7H is the naisargik arudha of this 4H, hence when the 7L sits in the 4H it doublyfortifies it especially if it is a good planet that can give position in life. 7H is also the houseof Public Life. The natural 7L is Venus and it is a Rajasik planet (position craver) so thisVenus coming in the 4H will make one sit on the throne and thus make him head of state.ä‰F ²‚Aó¡ Þ¼‚°‹ ðô¡Ü…C«ô ²ƒèQ¼‰F® ôõ˜‚°ÝE¬ô ªð‡μ‡´ Üvõ‹I…C«òõ¼°‹ î£»ì¡ î£Œ‚°ŠH¡ùõ¡ ‚°«ñ ÜKwì‹Venus in V HouseHe has no male issue but female issues are there, his mother brings with her lot ofhorses, mother has arishta (dosha or sort of difficulty or obstacles) due to her younger malesibling192(«õÁ)«õ‰î«ù ð…êñˆF ²ƒè¡G¡ø£M÷‹¹«õ¡ ÜP¾èM àœOë£ù‹ê£‰îºœ÷£¡ î£þ‡ò¡ ðô¼‚è¡ð¡êFõ£˜ˆ¬î îœO죡 ¹ˆFó M¼ˆF»œ÷£¡ð‰îºì¡ Ý÷®¬ñ Üóꘫïò¡ð蘉F†«ì¡ èV«ðCŠ H¡ð£ô£è≬î«ò Üó²K¬ñŠ ªð¼‚躜÷£¡â¡ªê£«õ¡ Üì˜îô£‹ «ð£è‹ 裆´‹Knowledgeable, Educated, Gyaan imbibed in Inner-self, Patience, Diplomatic and don’tlike to hurt others, Nice and friendly with many, never ignores wife’s words, has maleissues, enjoys the comforts of devoted servant maids, liked by king, by his sweet talks heimproves his influence over the kingdom, all his acquiring will bring him comforts ofbhogi193«õÁ)裆´ñ£‹ÌI ºîLô‹ è£Eð蘉F†«ì¡ °¼ð£˜ˆî£ º¡ù‹ªê£¡ù̆ìèˆF ꃬè¬ò à¬óˆ«î¡ ݃°ð蘉F†«ì¡ ð£Hèœ «ï£‚AŠð£˜‚è݆®¬õ‚°‹ ð‹ðó‹«ð£ ªêŒ¬èªè†´ÜÂFù«ñ ñð£ù‹ ¹ô£¹Cˆî 194473

If you use the Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi as revealed byus in Vol 3 of Saptarishis Astrology 54 age would be the 6 th house (54 – 48= 6), which iswhere Venus is sitting and it matches with what the Rishi is saying, apart from Venus inthis chart being the 8L of humiliation and 3L of Break in Career and also ‘Unlocking ofCareer’. If Lee would not have been fired he would not have Unlocked his karma of writingthe revolutionary inspiration work Iacocca: An Autobiography which was published in 1984,his 60 th year which is the 12H as per Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi. Now see Venus in 6H so12H is the 7 th from it, 7 th as explained in previous writings of ours is the ‘Coming Out of theSelf’ or the ‘House of Co-Self’ that FulFills you like the wife (7H) fulfills you. So the result ofthis Venus in the 6H getting fired was to fulfill his karma of writing a book in the 60 th yearwhich would fulfill his karma and give to the world an inspiration of never giving up. Therishi also writes man would be charitable which he is http://www.iacoccafoundation.org/having donated $10 million dollars for diabetes foundation (Venus/Jupiter). His stint atChrysler was aimed at destroyed Ford, which in a way he did and matches with what therishi says.Indira Gandhi also had Venus in 6H and she was known to destroy her enemieswhich is what the rishi says and she also suffered a major downfall like Lee Iacocca in themid part of her life but overcame it exactly as the Rishi says.ãN ²‚Aó¡ Þ¼‚°‹ ðô¡ªõœO»«ñN Þ¼‰F®ÜFè è£ºè¡ Høî£ó «ð£è¡Venus in VII HouseExcessive libido, enjoys other’s wife(«õÁ)ªêŠð‚«èœ ãöF«ô ²‚Aó¡ G¡ø£«îM‚° ñˆFòˆF è‡ìºœ÷£¡åŠð«õ î£óñ Í¡Á‹ àœ÷£¡à‡¬ñ»œ÷ ²ð˜«ï£‚è ãèñƒ¬èœ÷ ð£HèÀ‹ 𣘈î£ó£AêFJ¼‰ ܉GòˆF Þ¼‚裪ø¡ÜŠð«ù ñ£î˜èÀ‹ õLò„«ê˜õ£˜Ý÷®¬ñŠ ðEFò ÜFè‹ à‡«ìDanger to wife in the middle part of his life, chance of having three wives, aspected by benefic,then one wife only, if aspected by malefics, wife will not live with him in his old age, womanwill voluntarily have affairs with him, enjoys comforts of servant maids198199(«õÁ)à‡ì£°‹ ñƒ¬èò ªê£ˆ«ê¼‹å¼õù ªð‡¯¬ó«ò «ïò‹ªè£œõ£¡è‡ìð®ªð£¼œõ¼‹ Móò‹ªñˆîè£ñˆF Þ„¬êò ÜFèù£°‹õ‡´«ð£ MN»¬ìò£œ ªð£¼À‹ ߉õLò«õ «ê¼A¡ø °íº‹ àœ÷£¡ªè£‡ìªð‡¯˜ î¬ùªõÁ‚°‹ ¹ˆF»œ÷£¡ªè£´¬ñ¬òŠ«ð£ «ðC«ò ïòñ£Œ GŸð¡Will gain property from wife, will love his own daughters*, money will come throughmultiple sources, reckless spending, excessive interest in sexual matters, his nature will200476

Nakshatra Padas inRavana Samhita -Punarvasu NakshatraByAnuj Bahl, India.Commentary: Saptarishis AstrologyExample Charts Assistance: AshutoshKumar, India.Readership Level: AdvancedA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeAnuj Bahl is an engineer withMBA finance and belongs to afamily of entrepreneurs andscientists. He has remained deeplyinterested in exploring humannature since the age of 18. To startwith, he employed Graphology(handwriting analysis) and soonafter picked up Hindu Astrology,the study of which he continues tilldate. He has been deeply influencedby Vedanta and continues to studyunder the guidance of Arsha VidyaGurukulam of His Holiness SwamiDayananda.Saptarishis Astrology DedicatesRavana Samhita to their LateFriend Lois Rodden who askedthem not to give up onastrology due to attitude ofastrologers.Planets give different phalas (results)in each of the 27 nakshatras (lunarmansions). These results (phalas)relate to the quarter (charana/pada) of anakshatra in which a planet is placed andthe dristhi (aspect) of other planets that itreceives. The beauty of Ravana Samhita isthat a planet in one pada might giveproblematical results, whereas in the nextpada of the same nakshatra it can givefortunate results. This difference is subtlyhighlighted and an intelligent studentmust not ignore as this information is notfound elsewhere in any work. Here followsthe seventh in this series of translations ofRavana Samhita, relating to the seventhasterism Punarvasu, which stretches from80 degrees to 93 degrees-20 minutes of thenatural zodiac i.e. from 20 deg Gemini to 3480

deg 20 minutes in Cancer. The Lord of this nakshatra is Jupiter. The easiest way tointerpret the result of any graha in any asterism is to note down its nakshatra lord& also the lord of the sign it is placed in, these two planets will always influence the resultsof the planets placed in the said nakshatra.Punarvasu constellation is the 7 th constellation located in the sign of Gemini & has theNavamsas of Mars, Venus, Mercury & Moon. 1 st Navamsa is that of Aries, 2 ndNavamsa is that of Taurus, 3 rd Navamsa is that of Gemini, 4 th Navamsa is that ofCancer. This must be borne in mind when reading the results of various 4 padas (quarters)as per some scholars, at times one finds the traits of the navamsa sign and lord giving resultsas per padas but at times it does not make sense. The toughest part of astrology for the nonobsessivepredictors that is the ‘Real Explorers’ is to understand why the Rishi has givensuch and such a result, to understand the basis of the results given in classics for a particularcombination but unfortunately the sages never explained the reasoning nor have the pastscholars been successful in explaining it all. Please note that it is very difficult to find chartswhere planet would be in exact pada and it takes a long time to find one, here a young promisingastrologer from Ranchi, India Mr Ashutosh Kumar, a new entrant in the Saptarishis Astrology familyhaving a huge collection of data has painstakingly worked on it for 3 full days and found some real lifeexamples from his collection and helped in this article. So at times we have taken charts examples,ignoring the pada number given by Ravana and only tried to understand if the results in actual chartsare atleast nearby. This will be followed in all examples. True to the nature of the ‘Expansive’ Jupiter,its nakshatra lord this Punarvasu nakshatra piece has become one of the biggest articles in the RavanaSamhita series.Punarvasu NakshatraSun In Punarvasu If Moon aspects Sun, then, the native fears his relatives. Even though staying away fromone’s native place one is unable to gain enough wealth. If Mars aspects, the native is lazy and remains fearful of the enemies. If Mercury aspects, the native suffers on account of one’s children, but, gains securitiesfrom the government. If Jupiter aspects, the native is able and an expert in Tantra-Mantra and Astrology. Thenative has differences in opinion with his wife and children. If Venus aspects, the native goes to foreign lands, gains immense wealth andgovernmental support, but, gets injured by weapons and fire. If Saturn aspects, the native takes to foul/impure work and is cruel to the subordinates,but, is responsible and dedicated towards the work.SA Commentary: The benefit out of such verses in Ravana Samhita is not to prove if the verse works onall charts with similar combinations but to arrive at the reasoning behind such statements of KingRavana, but even to understand the logic behind the basic traits of a graha mentioned in classics is noteasy for even the Gurus or scholars, how can we arrive at such intrinsic results given in such a rare workof the Great Ravana. But an effort needs to be made, first to test if these principles are working on somecharts (a) and then to find charts where combination is there but the result is not being arrived at (b).Then to think deeply as to the reason it is not working (c) by first finding out the logic behind Ravana’sstatements. Here we will limit ourselves to (a) and leave the rest due to our incapability. Some examplesfollow.481

Saturn Aspects Sun in PunarvasuRavana says if Saturn aspects Sun in Punarvasu (irrespective of pada it seems) then native will do foulor impure work, be cruel to subordinates but will be dedicated towards the work.Example 1: Berger, Gottlob – an SS German GeneralGerman military, an SS General and one of Himmler's foremost experts on racial selection. As Commanderof military operations in Slovakia in 1944, he showed brutal efficiency. On 2 nd April 1949, he was tried forwar crimes and given 25 years, of which he served 6 1/2 years in prison.Re-read what Ravana wrote, Sun is in Punarvasu in 11H aspected by Saturn from the 2H ofadministration, in Saturn MD and Saturn AD in 1944 he showed brutality in Slovakia and this is as perthe Ravana text, Mr Berger was very dedicated in his work too and be cruel to sub-ordinates, whichshould be interpretated here as people he considered lower than him.Example 2: Gallego, Gerald – Serial Killer482

American homicide; a serial killer with his wife Charlene, convicted of ten kidnap-rape-sexmurdersbetween 12 Sept 1978 and 1 Nov 1980. They were the rarest of breeds among homicide cases, thehusband and wife team. He had spent five years in reformatories and six years in prisons by the time hemet Charlene Williams on 10 Sept 1977. Both were sexually deviant, involved in freak scenes andsadomasochism. They worked out an easy method of operation. Charlene would entice young girls intotheir van and they would abduct them, driving to a remote place where they would indulge in whatever sexand torture scenario they chose. Gerald would then kill the girls and bury or dispose of their bodies.Again in the above chart you would find Sun is in Punarvasu and Saturn is in the same house though indifferent nakshatra but being only 3 degrees from the Sun its power on Sun is tremendous. All this SunSaturn play indicates as per Ravana that some impure action can happen, this happening in the 12H ofsex and torture and imprisonment. Use the method previously written in SA volumes that Rahuimplements itself in the 3 rd from it and this Rahu (maniac activity) is influencing this Sat-Sun combo inPunarvasu and it was during Sept 78 to Nov 80 when Saturn dasa had started they committed theircrime. In both above cases you can see how easily Saturn dasa has been operative, giving some hint thatthis verse by Ravana cannot be easily ignored.Venus Aspects Sun in PunarvasuRavana says that if Sun is in Punarvasu & aspected (associated) by Venus the native goes to foreignlands, gains immense wealth and governmental support, but, gets injured by weapons and fire. Outof a search for Sun in Punarvasu, with criteria of accidents/deaths in fire or by weapons, we gotaround 15 plus charts but in all Venus was loosely conjunct in 2 cases but in all cases it was 1 or 2 signsahead or behind Sun hence it cannot be taken at all. But in the following 3 cases one can see Ravana’sprinciple working to some extent.Example 1: Croteau, Robert – Nightclub Fire DeathAmerican victim of nightclub fire, this landscaper was a huge sports and music fan. His father noted thatRobert was the inquisitive sort who loved being outdoors. He leaves his parents and four brothers. As youcan see from the chart Sun the 12L of exit is in Punarvasu, associated with Venus in the same house butin Rahus nakshatra, Rahu sits in the 5H of music fan, and he died of nightclub fire whereas Ravana saysinjured by weapons and fire. One can note that Sun Venus is in the 6 th house of accidents from 5H ofobsession and Sun is the 12L of night. He died on 20 th Feb 2003 when Rahu PD (Nak lord of Venus) wasrunning in Mer MD (Venus Sun in Mer sign).Example 2: Patino, Juan David – Boeing Crash483

American accidental fatality, killed in the crash of the Avianca Boeing-707 travelling fromColumbia to New York which ran out of fuel and crashed in Cove Neck, NY January, 1990. Hisgrandparents survived the crash.One can see that Sun is in Punarvasu Asterism in the 6 th house of accidents along with Venus, therebysatisfying Ravana’s criteria of Venus associating with Sun. It is doubly strong as it is with Rahu (sudden)and 6L of accidents Mer (travelling). He died of the crash while travelling.Example 3: Amundsen, Roald – Norwegian Explorer -Seaplane AccidentNorwegian scientific polar explorer, the first person to sail through the northwest passage. He discoveredthe South Pole in 1911 as the first to reach and record his passage. He also flew over the North Pole in adirigible three days after Byrd's air expedition, arriving there 12 May 1926. Amundsen died in a seaplaneaccident in the Arctic Ocean 18 th June 1928.The time of birth is not validated and gets a C rating but even approximate time of birth won’t change thenakshatras of Sun Venus who both are in Punarvasu, he died of a sea plane accident.484

Sun in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Sun is in the first part (charan/pada), the native is highly educated, wealthy and awriter of astrology books. The fortune rises after the age of 38 years. Some saint shall bless the native and bestow godly qualities. The native is loved by all.SA Commentary:Example 1: Sun in 1 st Pada – AstrologyAs per the above text of Ravana Samhita if Sun is in the 1 st quarter of Punarvasu nakshatra then nativeis wealthy & has astrology orientation, here in this chart you find that Sun is in Punarvasu nakshatra 1 stquarter. Native is an educated and wealthy person. He has keen interest in astrology. He is 32 years oldand he believes in God. Some prediction of this Samhita is exactly working out in this chart.Example 2: Lohlein, Herbert A. – 45 Astrology books writer485

As per our text Ravana Samhita, other areas of rise in fortune or blessed by a saint is difficult tofind out in known charts, but what does stand out is writer of astrology books and after our search wefound out 8 charts of international astrologers who are writers of astrology books. The above chart belongsto Lohlein, Herbert A. a German newspaper astrologer, columnist and writer. Representing serious,popular astrology, he was the author of over 45 astrology books, including "Handbook of Astrology" and"Stars, Fate and Character." You can see that Sun is in Punarvasu in the 1 st quarter (pada/charan) whichmatches our text and is BK (writer) in the 11H of astrology and is with Venus the 3L & 10 L which isretrograde which shows extreme past life desire to write these books aspected by Saturn R who isdispositor of A3 (writing), no doubt he wrote so many books (Saturn).Example 2: Guttman, Ariel – Astrology WriterAmerican pro astrologer involved with astrological research, writing, lecturing, teaching and counsellingsince 1975. Arielle is the author of one book and co-author of two books; "Astro-Compatibility," TheAstro*Carto*Graphy Book of Maps" with Jim Lewis, and "Mythic Astrology" with Kenneth Johnson. Shemaintains a busy counselling practice and pursues her special interest in relocation astrology at her homein Santa Fe, NM. As you can see Sun is in Punarvasu in the 1 st quarter and the most interesting part issee where the Sun is it in the 4H of residence/location and she does Relocational Astrology and wrotebooks on it, don’t forget that this Punarvasu 1 st quarter Sun is BK (writing).Example 3: Perry, Glenn – Western Astrology Writer486

American pro astrologer, editor and publisher. Perry is the founder and president of theAssociation for Astrological Psychology and former editor-publisher of the Journal of Astro-Psychology.The author of "Post-Modern Astrology, Theory and Practice," Perry has published over 30 articles onpsychological astrology.One can notice is that Sun is in Punarvasu 1 st quarter in the 3H of writing and is BK again (writing) alongwith Mercury the planet of writing.Other Charts with Sun in Punarvasu & Astrology Writer1) Name: PUTTE, M.H.

After 1980 he gave courses and lectures and, from 1981, wrote course material and articles inmagazines. Two years later, he became involved in the Swedish Astrologiska Riksforbund foundation.Sun in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Sun is in the second part (charan/pada), the native is an expert in mathematics, languages,is clever in making estimations and is a high quality administrator. The native gains high position in politics and social work. The complexion is yellow.SA Commentary: Example: Sun in 2nd Pada – AstrologyIn the above chart Sun is in the 2 nd pada, you can see that the text says such a native will be an expert inmathematics, this need not be the case for all having Sun in Punarvasu in 2 nd pada but in this case thisnative from Gopalgang Bihar, is an expert mathematician working in an MNC.Example 2: Cartan, Henri - French mathematicianFrench mathematician and noted family, the son of distinguished mathematician Élie-Joseph Cartan.Known for making fundamental advances in the theory of analytic functions, Cartan published severalimportant works including "Homological Algebra," 1956, and "Elementary Theory of Analytic Functions ofOne or Several Complex Variables," 1963. Cartan’s academic career began in 1928 when he was theprofessor of mathematics at the Lycée Caen. One year later he was appointed deputy professor at theUniversity of Lille where he stayed for two years prior to becoming professor of mathematics at theUniversity of Strasbourg. From 1940-69, he was on the faculty of the University of Paris, and from 1970-75, he taught at Orsay. Cartan was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1971, and made anhonorary member of the London Mathematical Society in 1959. Cartan was married and had five children.487

As you can see the Sun of Cartan, the noted French mathematician is in the 2 nd pada of Punarvasuand as per the text he is was a mathematician.Sun in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini (VargottamaNavamsa) If Sun is in the third part (charan/pada), the native becomes an administrator in thegovernment or a minister. Help comes from political friends. For some time the native shall remain involved with studying and writing.SA Commentary: Sun in 3rd Pada – ExamplesExample 1: Adams, John Quincy – American PresidentAmerican President 1825-1899. His time of birth is suspect. He had four public careers; diplomat,law-maker, Secretary of State and President. A Harvard graduate in 1787, Adams was admitted to the barin 1790 and opened a law office in Boston. He was elected to the Senate in 1802 where he served until1808. Under Madison, he was Minister to Russia and then to England, becoming Monroe's Secretary ofState 1817-25. Adams was inaugurated the U.S. 6th President on 4 th Mar 1825. In 1828 he was badlydefeated for re-election by Andrew Jackson. After 1831, he was actively opposed to slavery.488

Ravana Samhita says that Sun in 3 rd quarter of Punarvasu nakshatra becomes administrator inthe govt or a minister, here in US President Quincy Adams chart you would find the technique workingwith Sun in the 10H of political life containing Saturn in 10H an oft seen combination in politicians.Example 2: Fuller, Buckminister – writer of 20 booksAmerican scientist, the brilliant engineer-inventor of the Geodesic dome which combines a series oftetrahedron skeletons, a writer and lecturer. Labelled both a crackpot and a genius, he was awardednearly 40 honorary degrees from universities in the U.S. and the UK and was the author of 20 books,including his perhaps best-known work, "Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth," 1970.Ravana Samhita says Sun in 3 rd pada will give for some time involvement with studying and writing,though most charts around 11 were of politicians that we got in our data search and only of 3 writers,here in Buckministers case, the Sun is in the 2H in 3 rd pada with Jupiter who is BK (writing) and as it isPunarvasu one can note that Sun is in the Jupiter’s (BK-writers) nakshatra in this case along with a retroMer.Special Note: Bucky, as he was affectionately known, died of a heart attack on 7/01/1983 while at thehospital visiting his ailing wife, Los Angeles, CA. Please refer to the above chart and use the BSP-15method on Graha sutras on Venus and disease/death.Example 3: Silva, Anibal – Portugal President489

Portuguese politician, elected President of the country on January 22, 2006. Prior to that heserved for ten years as Prime Minister, from November 6, 1985 to October 28, 1995, the longest of anydemocratically elected Prime Minister in Portuguese history. During those ten years, he set another recordwhen he won an absolute parliamentary majority and then repeated that feat.With a doctorate from the University of York, he began his career as a college professor of economics (noteKetu in 10H). In 1980 he entered politics when he was appointed Minister of Finance by then-PrimeMinister Francisco Sá Carneiro.Sun in 3 rd pada of Punarvasu being 2L of administration has given him high govt posts beingassociated with 4L Venus and also Venus is MK (Throne) in 7 Charakaraka scheme, in 8 it won’t makesense. In 1985 when he became Prime Minister for a long streak of 10 years a record in Portugal, just 4months before his Chara Dasa of the 5H of Power had started that is Sc (KNR-Vemuri Shastry Version)whereas Narayana Dasa of Sc starts in 1984, in this case KNRs version of Rasi dasa is easy to identify theperiod with Sc lord in 10H of political power and co-lord Mars exalted in 7H of public platform.Other Examples Of Political Power1) Name: SQUIRE, ROBIN CLIFFORD, Date: 7/12/1944, Time: 23:57 GDWT (+0:00), Gender: M, Place:Epsom, England, Lat: 51 N 20, Lng: 00 W 16Biography: British politician, a Member of Parliament returned at General Election on 6/11/1987.2) Name: VENTURA, JESSE, Date: 7/15/1951, Time: 03:00 CST (+6:00), Gender: M, Place: Minneapolis,MN, Lat: 44 N 58, Lng: 93 W 15Biography: American politician, formerly a professional wrestler.

Through paltry trade dealings the debt is payed pack. There is suffering from indigestion and on account of eye problems.SA Commentary: Around 301 cases were found with Sun in Punarvasu in the 4 th quarter via the ADBsoftware but only one contained case of bankruptcy, maybe our limitation in search abilities showed up.See one case below of eye problemsExample 1: Misfortune 44511 – Eye Problem490

Sun is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu and as per Ravana Samhita it can give eye troubles orafflictions of difficult diseases. Here is chart of a British male, who lost the sight of his left eye as a resultof splintered glass in a slight railway accident, age 28.Example 2: Odets, CliffordAmerican playwright, actor, director and artist. A leading U.S. playwright in the '30s, his works aremarked by a strong social conscience which grew out of the Great Depression. He died of cancer on8/15/1963, Los Angeles, CA. This chart has Sun in 4 th pada of Punarvasu and as per the text it shouldhave a difficult disease where the native died of cancer.Other Examples1) Name: AIDS 19305, Date: 7/16/1945, Time: 09:30 BZT (+3:00), Gender: M, Place: Rio de Janeiro,Brazil, Lat: 22 S 54, Lng: 43 W 14Biography: Brazilian male: AIDS2) Name: SUTHERLAND, DONALD, Date: 7/17/1935, Time: 11:30 ADT (+4:00), Gender: M, Place: St.John, Canada, Lat: 45 N 16, Lng: 66 W 03Biography: Canadian-American actor onscreen from 1963 in a variety of character and lead roles rangingfrom the stage to TV series.Sutherland has suffered from ill health, as he has combated pneumatic fever, polio, hepatitis, anappendectomy, scarlet fever and pneumonia.

If Mars aspects, the native is kind, intelligent and gains wealth through science related work. If Mercury aspects, then, the native gains favours from the government. If Jupiter aspects, the native’s work is appreciated and respect is earned in society. If Venus aspects, then, all joy of life are gained. If Saturn aspects, the native is divorced from his wealth, family and wife.SA Commentary:Ravana says that Moon if in Punarvasu and Mars is aspecting it, wealth through science related work canhappen. We got a total of 14 charts of scientists where Moon is in Punarvasu but only in 2 Mars wasaspecting.Example 1: Oppenheimer, Robert – American Nuclear Physicist dubbed Father of Atom Bomb.491

American scientist, a nuclear physicist and head of the Atomic Energy Commission's General AdvisoryCommittee 1947-1952. He was known as the "Father Of The Atom Bomb." Declared a security risk in1953, he became head of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, 1953-1966, and received the FermiAward in 1963. You can see that Ravana’s rule of Moon in Punarvasu aspected by Mars is satisfied here togive him gains through science related work.Example 2: Fechner, Gustav – German PhysicistGerman philosopher, psychologist, naturalist and physicist. He studied the relationship between thestrength of stimulus and the intensity of sensation, therefore discovering and developing "psycho-physics."Fechner died 11/18/1887, Leifzig. He has Moon in Punarvasu conjunct Mars and thus Ravana’s rule isapplying here giving gains through science related work and a very intelligent man.Moon in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Moon is in the first part (charan/pada), the native’s body is free from blemishes. The native having a sweet and pleasant nature is raised by two mothers. The native has more daughters than sons.492

Wealth is gained number of times in life. There are adequate brothers and sisters. The enemies fear the native. This native can multi-task different activities and earns respect of the learned and thewise.Moon in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Moon is in the second part (charan/pada), the native is adored by the women. He is an expert in women’s diseases and sexual diseases. He is attached to bad habits. He works as a top scientist, an ambassador or a representative. He marries more than once and after marriage continues to associate with other women.Moon in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If the Moon is in the third part (charan/pada), the native is clever, fond of gambling, sensualpleasures and music. If Moon is with Mercury, then, the native is humble, an expert in discrimination,reasoning and judgements in the subject of languages and is respected. If Saturn affects Moon, then the native loses happiness from father.SA Commentary:Ravana says Moon in Punarvasu 3 rd pada can make one fond of gambling, sensual pleasures andmusic. Let us see charts of some natives without judging as to what or why they are doing it.Example 1: Brazilian Prostitute – Sensual PleasuresMoon is in 3 rd pada of Punarvasu and as per Ravana Samhita such a native can be fond of sensualpleasures, this native is from Brazilian Prostitute.Example 2: Evans, Eric – gay video porn star493

The Moon is in 3 rd pada of Punarvasu and the native Eric Evans is an American gay video porn star. Thetime of birth is suspect but still if we take it as correct we can see that Moon is in the 3 rd house of TV andVideo and the native being fond of sensual pleasures has taken up Gay Videos as a professional.It does not mean that all having Moon in 3 rd pada of Punarvasu will be fond of sensual pleasures andsubsequently take up that as a profession and hence if we search more we would find that DavidHasselhoff & Harrison Ford also share Moon in 3 rd pada of PunarvasuMoon in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Moon is in the fourth part (charan/pada), the native is expert in the art of lovemaking,and is a celebrated prose writer. He is fond of eating and has reddish eyes (especially the ones wherein the blood vesselscan be seen). If Mars aspects this Moon, then, the native is attached to black and illegal money. For thesame he mortgages his wealth and possessions. If Jupiter aspects, then, he becomes the head of the family and is wealthy and respectable.SA CommentaryRavana says that if Moon is in 4 th pada of Punarvasu and aspected (associated) by Mars, the nativeresorts to black and illegal money and in the next he says if Jupiter’s aspects then he becomes thehead of the family and is wealthy and respectable presuming that Jupiter’s aspect is good. Lets seethe below exampleExample 1: Anastasia, Albert – Italian Mafia HeadMoon in the above chart is in the 4 th quarter of Punarvasu and also associated with Mars which asper Ravana can (note can) indicate black money and illegal money. The native was Italian mafia chief,gangster and killer. He was shot to death while in the barber's chair 10/25/1957, New York, NY. Themoment we read he was shot dead in barber’s chair, then while constructing the chart in the software wewere anxious to see which planet is in the 3H and we were expecting something to do with Saturn butincidentally Saturn is not there but Jupiter, a debilitated Jupiter in Saturn’s house, then we checked thedasa at the time of death it was Jupiter’s sub period (AD) not to our surprise. And as you can see Ravanaalso says that if Jupiter aspects this Moon placed in 4 th pada of Punarvasu the native will be head offamily, here he being a Mafia boss and that too Italian, one can expect him to be the Head of his family ala Godfather but since Jup is retro and debilitated things turned otherwise.494

Example 2: James, Jesse – American Noted OutlawAmerican noted outlaw, famed along with his brother Frank leading a gang in the old west. Noted for hisunerring pistol accuracy, he was a dangerous killer as well as a robber. A huge reward for that time period($10,000) was placed on his head dead or alive and one of his own gang members shot him in the head, athome with his wife and two small kids. He died immediately, 3 rd April 1882, St. Joseph, MO.Again as per Ravana’s text it matches the native has Moon in 4 th pada of Punarvasu, getting the 4 th aspectof Mars from sign of head, the native was a robber and procured illegal money, matching with the text ofthe illustrious Ravana.Mars In Punarvasu If Sun aspects Mars, then, the native is very wise, wealthy and possess inner strength andpatience. If Moon aspects, then, the native provide service in security agency or army and fills hisstomach and remains happy amongst the company of women. If Mercury aspects, then, the native is a mathematician, a lover of poetry and music and a liar. If Jupiter aspects, then, the native faces difficulties in foreign lands. After 40 years anexcellent situation arises and the native remains happy.495

If Venus aspects, then, the native spends most of time in the company of characterlesswomen and through criminal and unethical acts one accumulates wealth. If Saturn aspects, then, the native is a deceiver, is lazy and gains wealth through trade ofwood and objects obtained from the jungles.SA Commentary:Ravana says that if Mars is in Punarvasu and Mercury aspects then native is either a mathematician orlover of poetry and music. Out of a total of 96 charts of mathematicians none had Mars in Punarvasu andwith Mars in Punarvasu we got 16 poets. But in these 16 poets there was no aspect of Mer on Mars, butan interesting thing emerged is Mars and Mer in these 16 were mainly in 3/11 position to each other,many a times Mer was in the 3 rd to Mars or Mars was in 3 rd to Mer signifying the 3H of writing. When weexpanded the search to include musicians/music related professionals we got 78 charts of Mars inPunarvasu. Out of these few had Mars Mer conjunction in Punarvasu, but many of them still had Marsand Mer in 3/11 to each other which is again significant and worth exploring further.Example 1: Dolly Parton – Mer aspects Mars in PunarvasuAmerican country singer, songwriter, actress; small, buxom and endearing with a cheerful genuinesweetness. Parton came up from being dirt poor to country music stardom in the 1970s. She has writtenmore than 3,000 songs, including "I Will Always Love You" which Whitney Houston shot up to the top ofthe pop charts in 1992. She has written her autobiography for Harper Collins, "Dolly: My Life and OtherUnfinished Business," 1994.Mars is in Punarvasu in the 11H and aspected by Mer from the 5H of entertainment.Example 2: Schumann-Heink, Ernestine – Austrian Opera Singer496

Austrian opera singer who sang oratorios, concerts, in movies and vaudeville. She sang at theMetropolitan Opera House in 1899. She died of leukaemia on 17 th Nov 1936. You can see that Mars is inPunarvasu and Mercury is also in Punarvasu in the 3H of singing.Example 3: Ralston, Bob – American MusicianAmerican musician, a pianist and organist who achieved a level of fame on Lawrence Welk Show. Ralstonhas recorded over 300 record albums including 31 solo albums. In 1963 he joined the Lawrence WelkChampagne Music Makers and was a regular on the Lawrece Welk Show until its demise in 1981. In all,he spent 40+ years with the orchestra as pianist/organist and arranger. Ralston has produced severalvideos and still gives concerts in his 70s. If you notice his Mars and Mer both are in Punarvasu aspecting3H of hands (he was a pianist and organist).Ravana further says that if Mars is in Punarvasu and aspected (associated) by Saturn, it indicatesthat the native can be a deceiver. Let us see some examples of financial deceivers only.Example 1: Louarn, Max – PiracyFrench-American producer of computer software, responsible for the sale of Nintendo network and videogames. He went to prison in Virginia for piracy, reproducing computer disks illegally. You can see that hisMars is in Punarvasu with Ketu (computers) in 6H of law and aspected by Saturn, he went to prison forreproducing computer disks illegally.497

Example 2: Ambrosio, Francesco – Italian MillionaireItalian millionaire, jailed for embezzlement March 1975.Though Mars and Saturn are in two different houses but association of Saturn on Mars is through bothbeing in the same nakshatra which is Punarvasu. One can note that Saturn AD in Moola Dasa of karmicretribution was when he got jailed. In Kalachakra dasa the sign of was Saturn (Cn) MD and AD was of Liand PD was of 6 months of Ge where Mars is placed.Example 3: Belge, Francis le – French Last GodfatherFrench Mafia figure, France's last godfather. The son of a Flemish dock worker and an Algerian-bornSpanish mother, he was brought up in the streets where he learned as a kid to emulate Lucky Lucianoand Al Capone. At 23 he was already figuring on the police's file of organized crime as being a member ofthe French connection of drug running. You can notice that Saturn’s association is on Mars by both ofthem being in the same nakshatra of Punarvasu in the 1H of Life, his whole life was the Mafia.On3/16/1978, Belge was sentenced to 14 years in jail for heroin traffic. In the major part of the SaturnMahadasa he was in jail for 14 years.498

Mars in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Mars is in the first part, then, the native gains wealth by trading in herbs. Women born in this part of the nakshatra are deceivers, stubborn, characterless andriddled with diseases and experts in looting other people’s wealth.SA Commentary:Ravana says that Mars in 1 st pada and if a woman then experts in looting other peoples wealth, we couldnot find in our limited time charts of women with such combination but it in a males chart.Example 1: Lord Byron – British NobilityBritish nobility, the sixth Lord Byron and one of the great romantic poets of the English language. Deeplyin debt, he made an advantageous marriage in 1815. As you can see Mars is in the 1 st pada of Punarvasuin the 1H (double AA rating for time of birth) of character with Mars being 11L of marriage, it is writtenthat he did an advantageous marriage. Also previously Ravana has written that when Mercury aspects theMars in Punarvasu it makes one a poet, Lord Byron was known for his poetry. His epic poem, "ChildeHarold's Pilgrimage," begun in 1812, made him a celebrity, but his affairs outraged London society and hewas forced into exile in 1815 after a scandal over a liaison with his half-sister, Augusta Leigh. Mars iskaraka for siblings.Mars in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Mars is in the second part, then, the native is skilled in warfare and envious of theprogress of others. He gains wealth through sale and purchase of items and stock (like purchase function ina company). He remains sick due to many different diseases.Mars in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Mars is in the third part, then, the native is forever busy in wealth and securities, themeans to get more and in seeking sensual pleasures. This native has a disposition of providing service and spends money on important peopleof the society.499

Mars in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara& Vargottama Navamsa) If Mars is in the fourth part, then, the native gains wealth via writing. He enjoys life to the fullest. There remains a possibility of having vehicular accidents. He has blood disorders and sexual diseases. Women have bodily difficulties.SA CommentaryRavana says that Mars in 4 th pada then native gains wealth via writing and possibility of vehicularaccidents and blood disorders and sexual disorders. Mainly here the wealth via writing would be examinedbut before we forget one can note that Cheiro had Mars in Punarvasu in the 4 th pada in the 9H of higherknowledge (lets not forget the knowledge what he attained in astro-palmistry none of us know it today)aspecting his 3H of writing and also 3L of writing. Cheiro’s books after so many decades are best sellersand what most of us have started our astro careers with here in India. In total 52 writers charts werefound in ADB with Mars in 4 th Pada of Punarvasu.Example 1: Accident yoga given by AshutoshThe native enjoys his life fully. He is very humorous person. 8 to 10 times he got accident while drivingvehicle.Example 2: Stephen King – Writer & Accident YogaRavana says that Mars in 4 th pada can give wealth via writing. Chart below belongs to Stephen Ling,American prolific writer and screenwriter. A former English teacher, he accomplished the feat of writingmore than 40 successful horror novels by 1999 with the first, "Carrie," published in 1974. Movies weremade of 26 of his books; he wrote the screenplays for five and did bit parts in three. King's last two years'income has been $22 million and his entire product grosses more than $100 million per year. His bookshave sold over 100 million copies in 33 languages. Note the 3/11 condition of Mars and Mer in Stephenschart.Ravana also says that this Mars in 4 th pada can give accidents. Please see how this works in Stephen’schart but don’t forget that Mars is GK (accidents) & also is the 6L of accidents in D6 (accidents) sitting inLagna (Body) in D1 (this technique of bring divisional lord in D1 was hinted first by C S Patel in his booksbut it has gone unnoticed by scholars and subsequently unappreciated).Stephen King while out walking on 19 th June 1999 near Lake Kezar, ME., he was struck by a van andseriously injured. First taken to a hospital in Bridgton, he was then flown to a trauma center at CentralMaine Medical Center. No charges have been filed against the driver of the van; he was not speeding andjust lost control while trying to subdue a loose dog inside his van. King was operated on three times overfive days to stabilize a collapsed lung and multiple fractures to his right leg and hip. He had a long periodof recovery from devastating injuries that left him on crutches, losing 100 lbs. In a strange twist of fate,Bryan Smith, the man whose van had hit King, was found dead of no known cause on 9/22/2000 in hismobile home. Ravana gives Mars in 4 th pada as accident as a result and on 19 th June 1999 Stephen King500

was running Moola Dasa AD of Mars & in Vimshottari Dasa his Mars AD was just about to start in 10days (with 365 days calculation) and with 360 days calculation he was already running Mars MD theplanet listed for 4 pada of Punarvasu.Example 2: George Lucas – Writer, Director & Accident YogaAmerican director, writer, producer and film genius. He is the creator of the epic "Star Wars" firstreleased in 1977, and its two sequels, "The Empire Strikes Back" in 1980 and "The Return of the Jedi" in1983. The space fantasy had brewed in his mind ever since he first became interested in film and finallyreached the screen as a movie phenomenon of unprecedented magnitude. Shot in Tunisia and DeathValley and on 11 sound stages in England, it had a relatively modest budget but some of the mostimaginative and complex special effects the screen had ever seen. The response was incredible, to thetune of some $200 million in sales. The first film alone copped 11 Academy Award nominations and sevenOscars in 1977Lucas has been one of the most fantastic writers, producers and directors especially as a story teller in thelast century which captured the hearts of all genres of audiences worldwide. He has Mars in 4 th pada ofPunarvasu & Mars is PK (writer/Filmmaker karaka) along with Rahu (movies) and Jupiter (expansive like501

Rahu and also 9L of Fate) with AL (Cosmic Asc is correct modern term for Arudha Lagna if critics allowone to say so).Now Ravana says that this Mars in 4 th pada can also give accidents. Lucas was a racing-car enthusiast asa kid until, he was involved in a car accident that resulted in broken bones and crushed lungs. Theaccident happened on 12 th June 1962. His Mars our planet of discussion is in the 4H of vehicles and withRahu & Jup. It was during Rahu/Saturn/Rahu he got the accident in Cn AD of Kalachakra dasa & inMoola Dasa it was Rahu/Saturn/Jup. If you have read the BSP-15 rule of Venus, you can see that Venusis in the 1H of body with Mer (travelling/movement) and the damage can be seen or forecast.Other Examples of Accident & WritingName: MARTIN, MARY, Date: 12/1/1913, Time: 12:00 CST (+6:00), Gender: F, Place: Weatherford, TX,Lat: 32 N 46, Lng: 97 W 48Biography: American actress and singer who first sang "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" in the 1938Broadway musical "Leave It To Me," followed by many musical hits. For five decades her impish energyhovered over Broadway, sprinkling stages with magic and transporting theatregoers to Never-Never-Land.She sparkled in "South Pacific," "Sound of Music" and "Peter Pan."In her autobiography she wrote, "I gave to my audiences what belonged to my children," and she feltblessed that she had a second chance in her older years to know them, and their childrenIn 1982, Martin was in a serious car accident in San Francisco. The taxi in which she was riding was hit bya van: her manager was killed and her friend, actress Janet Gaynor, Paul Gardner and Martin were allbadly hurt. Mary's pelvis was broken in three places and she had two broken ribs and a punctured lung.She survived as matter of "good genes, luck and God." When she finally left the hospital, doctors andnurses stood by and crowed loudly, just the way Peter Pan bade us to do when life gave us somethingworth cheering about. A year later she staged a benefit for the Crisis Center and - at age 70 - flew all theway to the third balcony, crowing her triumph.Ravana further says that Mars in Punarvasu in 4 th pada can give wealth via writing and also giveblood disorders or sexual diseases. Let us see some examples.Example 1: Shilts, Randy- American Writer & AIDS diseaseAmerican writer, a journalist and the author of a groundbreaking best-seller, "And The Band Played On,"1987, an expose and report on the situation of AIDS in the U.S. On the day that Shilts finished "Band," hehad a doctor appointment, at which he was told that he himself was HIV+. The gripping story was madeinto a TV special drama that played in September 1993. That year he published "Conduct Unbecoming:Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military." Shilts died of AIDS on 17 Feb 1994. In this case the sayings ofRavana fits in well, Mars is in Punarvasu in the 5 th house of authorship and Mars the 8L of sexual chronicdiseases in natural zodiac is with Sun the 6L of diseases in D1 (dispositing Venus) and 8L of chronicdiseases of D6 again dispositing Venus. In D6 Venus is the 8H of sexual chronic diseases in the sign ofSun and it was in Moola Dasa of Ven/Mo/Venus he died, which was the Venus AD of Vimshottari.Example 2: AIDS 1154 – No Writer & AIDS disease502

American homosexual male; recently diagnosed HIV+. Interior designer. His mom, a Theosophist, took himto alternate healing centre but he left abruptly. You can see that he has Mars in 4 th pada in Punarvasu.Mercury In Punarvasu If Sun aspects Mercury, then, the native gains from the government. He attains highposition and despite the same, remains truthful. If Moon aspects, then, the native is sweet spoken, brings unity to the family andmaintains himself by serving the government. If Mars aspects, then, he dresses in attractive clothing and is an expert in many differentart forms. If Jupiter or Venus aspects, then, he is a representative of high class people, is aneffective and influential public relations officer. He is an expert in reaching agreementsby solving conflicts and defeats his enemies. If Saturn aspects, then, he gains fame immediately in his field of activity, keeps everyonein control, is respectful towards all, and is medium wealthy.SA Commentary:This is the 2nd time in a classic it has been mentioned of Sun aspecting Mercury or vice versa, one shouldmake a note of this since as per current knowledge of ancient astrology this is not possible. If Mercury isin Punarvasu aspected by Venus or Jupiter then he becomes an expert in reaching agreements, thiscombination one would find a lot in Politicians and Diplomats.Mercury in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Mercury is in first part, then, the native earns by being a government servant. In the beginning he has a lower designation, but gains a higher designation later. Slowlyhe gains wealth and fame. He is knower of many arts and science subjects; respects others, hopes to live life in apeaceful manner and is a husband to two wives.SA Commentary:Out of 238 charts of Mer in 1 st pada of Punarvasu, only 30 were found to be government employees. Someexamples belowExample 1: Cisneros, Henry G. - The Mayor of San Antonio Texas503

Latino-American politician, the Mayor of San Antonio Texas, once considered as a potential DemocraticVice-Presidential candidate. He was the first Hispanic to ever serve as chief executive of a major US city.In June 1989 he left public office to begin work in a pension fund management firm. He returned togovernment work after being appointed Director of the Federal Reserve Bank in January 1991. In August1992, he resigned from this position to become Senior Campaign advisor to Bill Clinton. Clinton selectedCisneros as Secretary of HUD (Housing and Urban Development) in December 1992.As one can see he has Mer in the 1 st pada of Punarvasu qualifying all conditions laid down by Ravana andsince Mer is in the 2 nd house of administration he had a career in it as a govt employee.Example 2: Shapp, Milton - Governor of PennsylvaniaAmerican industrialist and politician, the governor of Pennsylvania from 1971-1979. He died on November24, 1994. You can see that he has Mercury in 1 st pada of Punarvasu; it is also with Sun the govt andadministrative planet which made him the GovernorMercury in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus(Pushkara Navamsa) If Mercury is in the second part, then, the native has wisdom of control over one’sspeech, gains wealth through different types of work and becomes an astrologer. He is much appreciated from the elderly and the prominent.504

He takes to any task without any differentiation. He remains in high position. People listen and agree to him.SA Commentary:Let us see some examples of only point mentioned above which is native can become an astrologer, out ofour database matching Mer 2 nd pada Punarvasu around 13 charts were found.Example 1: From Ashutosh Kumar’s databankHe has interest in Astrology. He is very nice person by heart. You can notice that Mercury is in 2 nd pada ofPunarvasu exactly matching Ravana’s text and is in the 8H of occult with 5L of intuition Jup looking atthe 2 nd house of speech.Example 2: Zadkiel I – British Famous AstrologerBritish astrologer known as Zadkiel I, a pro from 1830 and the founder of an astrological almanac. Youcan see that Mer is in the 2 nd pada of Punarvasu in the 11H of Jyotish and is the 11L himself. Mer isknown for astrological calculations too.Example 3: Costa, Zeferino P. – Old Brazilian AstrologerBrazilian astrologer, one of the pioneers in Brazilian astrology. A pro in private practice, he also teachesreturn and prediction techniques. He is rumored to be one of the astrologers to counsel President Color.505

From the bio above you can notice that the astrologer must be gifted. He has Mer in 2 nd pada of Punarvasuand as per Ravana this can make one an astrologer. Mercury is with Rahu the planet of research inastrology and the ‘King Of Stunning Predictions’.Ravana also says that if Mercury is in the second part, then, the native has wisdom of control overone’s speech, gains wealth through different types of work. Let us look at some charts where voicemodulation is necessary like in singing, TV host, MC fields.Example 1: Mesquita, Otávio – TV Host & MCBrazilian TV host and MC of variety programs, he has Mercury the karaka of speech in the 2 nd pada ofPunarvasu and that too in the 3H of communications and talking with 5L of fame and showman ship. Allthis Sun Mer is happening in the 3H of Television Industry.Example 2: Anspach, Frédéric Jean Emile – Belgium Opera SingerBelgian opera singer and teacher, has Mercury in the 2 nd pada of Punarvasu aspecting the 2 nd house ofspeech. For Opera Singing one needs a great amount of voice modulation and it matches Ravana’s text.With Ketu in the 2H very few would have ventured to predict the chart owner would be an Opera Singer.One can note that Mer is her BK (3H of singing).506

Example 3: Journet, Marcel – French Opera SingerFrench opera singer who made his debut at the Montpellier in 1893. Blessed with a bass voice of greatbeauty, good acting abilities and versatility, his operatic performances included Brussels in 1894, Londonin 1897, New York Met in 1900, Paris in 1908, Chicago in 1915 and Milan in 1917. Journet died9/25/1933, Vittel.As you can see Mer is in the 2 nd pada of Punarvasu & then 2 nd lord of speech apart from being the AMK(career).Example 4: Santana, Carlos – Band SantanaMexican-American musician, leader of the band "Santana." First formed in 1967 in San Francisco as the"Santana Blues Band," they played local gigs. Virtually unknown before appearing at the 1969 WoodstockFestival, this stunning lead guitarist along with the band captured national prominence for theirperformance in a segment in the film "Woodstock." On 1/04/2000, he received ten Grammy nominationsfor his blockbuster commercial album "Supernatural" followed by Best Album honors at the AmericanMusic Awards on 1/17/2000.Mercury is in the 2 nd pada of Punarvasu with 2L Venus in the 3H of hands. He plays Guitar, clarinet,violin.507

Mercury in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Mercury is in the third part, then, the native lives ordinarily, is interested in societal andreligious works and is a scientist. Even if he invests extra wealth in trade, he only gains a little from it.SA Commentary:Ravana says that if Mercury is in the 3rd quarter he can be a scientist.Example 1: Fischer, Hans – German Scientist – Nobel PrizeGerman organic chemist and lecturer who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1930. As a young man,he studied chemistry and medicine simultaneously. He was lecturing on internal medicine in 1912,physiology in 1913. A professor of medical chemistry from 1916, and from 1921 until his death, he heldthe Chair of Organic Chemistry in Munich. He died on March 31, 1945 in Munich, Germany.Matching the words of Ravana, Mercury is in the 3 rd pada of Punarvasu and Hans Fischer is a scientistwho won the Nobel Prize.Example 2: Alberty, Robert Arnold -Dean of Massachusetts Institute of Technology School ofScienceAmerican chemistry professor and dean of Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Science forseveral years beginning in 1967. He has Mercury in the 3 rd pada of Punarvasu.508

Mercury in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Mercury is in the fourth part, then, the native gains wealth from one’s expertise. He is a writer and a head of educational institute/organization and is close to thegovernment. He remains famous and wealthy.SA Commentary:Example from Ashutosh Kumar’s database on Mer in 4 th quarter and native being in govt service as perthe text. Chart not given so as to reduce size of article.DOB : 06 September 1978, TOB : 00:50 AM, POB : Samastipur (BIHAR)The native is an Audit Officer. He is in Govt. Service. He talks very sweet & sometimes he turns talkative.Jupiter In Punarvasu If Sun aspects Jupiter then the native has a finest wife, has children and is respected byfamily members. If Moon aspects then the native is the caretaker of many villages and cities, gains fameafter a struggle and has sattwic (pure) values. If Mercury aspects then he is knower of Jyotish Shastra, has a fine family, and is soft spoken. If Venus aspects then, the native has less wealth, remains under stress on account ofwomen, and never makes a commitment. If Saturn aspects, then, the native gains from the government, is wealthy, respectseveryone, and remains in a high position in the government.SA Commentary:Ravana says that if Mercury aspects Jupiter in Punarvasu nakshatra then one is knower of JyotishShastra. These kinds of combinations till date are not mentioned in any classic text and we must bethankful to those unknown preservers of astrology by which this has finally reached this digital medium.Example: Nostradamus, Michel de – Worlds No 1 AstrologerThe construction of this chart gave us a lot of pain consuming huge amounts of time as the correct birthchart was not being constructed as Julian Calendar was not accounted for. A slight miss from our endand confusion reigned in for 3 days. Hence French astrologers Francois Carriere and the senior astrologerMarie Christine Sclifet must be thanked who finally guided us. For those who do not know about509

Julian/Gregorian Calendars are requested to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calender andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar.Inspite of being aware of this while constructing the chart we forgot the exact year when GregorianCalendar was introduced hence the confusion. Still if any mistake it’s ours but the fact that Jupiter willstill remain in Punarvasu and will still be aspected by Mercury.Nostradamus needs no introduction and everyone knows him as the finest No.1 astrologer ever in the last600 years. Ravana says that if Jupiter is in Punarvasu and also aspected by Mer then he is a knower ofJyotish Shastra, it matches exactly in this chart of Nostradamus. Jupiter is in the 4H of Vidya (Knowledge)& is the Amk (career) and is aspected by Mercury from 10H of profession apart from being BK (writer). Hiswriting work has survived. If one believes this time of birth to be very correct then one can see that Planetof Jyotishas ‘Ultimate’ Predictions that is Rahu, the King maker for Astrologer 1 is right on the lagnadegree. Rahu/Ketu axis near the Lagna degree not more should be said. Before we depart his chart useBSP technique of Jupiter Saturn written by Andree Leclerc, with Jup-Sat conjunction Aries the 2H offamily for him should be destroyed. Nostradamus lost his wife, Henriette d’Encausse, and their two sonsto the plague in 1533 2 . He remarried circa 1534 to a young girl ‘of high estate, very beautiful andadmirable,’ but her name is lost to history. They had six children. In November 1555, he married a thirdtime, to Anne Ponsart Gemelle, a rich widow.Jupiter in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Jupiter is in the first part, then the native gains all kinds of worldly pleasures and leadsa respectable life. Till middle life, his family life is unhappy. Differences with wife remain on account of one’s profession. One has to move to a different city for one’s work.1SA: Rahu is often ignored by scholars and most take Jup or some Mer for Jyotishis, but as previouslymentioned by us, Rahu is the Predictor of Predictors. B V Raman had Rahu in the 2 nd house of speechand earnings, his predictions were well known. KP the most phenomenal predictor ever who gaveTraditional astrologers a run for their money had a double whammy Rahu and Jupiter both aspecting his2H. K.N.Rao one of the last predictors of previous century also has Rahu and Jupiter aspecting his 2H.Cheiro’s 2L was Jupiter aspected by Rahu.2 SA: Wikipedia gives the year of death of his wife and children as 1534http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus#Marriage_and_healing_work whereas ADB gives as 1533510

Jupiter in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus(Pushkara Navamsa) If Jupiter is in the second part, then the native is helpful to others, is a pundit or a pujari. The native is wealthy but unhappy on account of family members. The wife is narrow-minded. The children are well educated and have good values. Because of the children, one’sfortune rises in the middle age.Jupiter in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Jupiter is in the third part, then, the native is a teacher or a minister. He gains from the ministers. Even when young, the native is wealthy and well respected.SA Commentary:Ravana says that when Jupiter is in the 3 rd quarter of Punarvasu, the native is a teacher or minister,let us look more for teachers.Example 1: Shermer, Michael – Educator & TeacherJupiter is in 3rd pada of Punarvasu as per Ravana text and the native is a teacher. American writer andeducator, a prolific author and head of the Skeptic Society (www.skeptic.com). He lectures internationallywhen not at his university teaching post, Assistant Professor of History of Science at the Institute forHuman Progress. He taught psychology and the history of science for 11 years at Glendale College, andoccasionally teaches the history of science and culture at Occidental College.Example 2: Roscoe, Will – Educator & TeacherJupiter is in the 3 rd pada of Punarvasu and the native is a teacher professor. American writer, educatorand gay activist. Born in Seattle to a chemistry professor father and pharmacist mother. Roscoe holds a1991 Ph.D. in History of Consciousness from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and has taughtAnthropology, Native American Studies, and American Studies at UC/Santa Cruz, San Francisco StateUniversity, UC/Berkeley, the California Institute of Integral Studies, and Dominican College. From 1991-1995 he was an affiliated scholar with the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at StanfordUniversity, and he is now adjunct faculty for the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology.511

Example 3: Ashutosh Kumar’s Example – Sr in Jharkhand GovtJupiter is in 3rd pada of Punarvasu, he is wealthy and famous person. He is one of the senior mostpersons in Jharkhand Govt. He has done graduation in Political Science.Other Examples Of Teachers:1) Name: LEVIN, ANNA MARIA, Date: 11/24/1918, Time: 08:00 EST (+5:00), Gender: FPlace: New York, NY, Lat: 40 N 42, Lng: 74 W 00Biography: American art teacher, an underground painter and writer: married.

If Jupiter is in the fourth part, the native gains a lot of fame in one’s life. The native feels a shortage of wealth and happiness. He feels unhappy on account of one’s family and friends, but, others respect him. If Mercury aspects then the native lives like a king. He has wealth, many followers andhouses/buildings. If women have this yoga in their chart, then their husband gains a lotof wealth.SA Commentary:Ravana says if Jupiter is in the 4 th quarter of Punarvasu the native gains a lot of fame in one’s life.Obviously we must reiterate that nakshatra predictions are ‘Indicators Towards A Prediction’ andone must use the basic tenets of astrology to further confirm if such and such combination existson account of supporting yogas etc. This point will not be repeated often but most critics forget this whenthey criticise others articles but point it out when their articles are criticised – a Vipareet Raja Yogaphenomenon.Example 1: Jimi Hendrix – Immortal FameAmerican musician, singer and guitarist who became a rock superstar. His first major popularity came tohim in England before his fame swept America, particularly in the hippie rock culture. Exalted Jupiter isin the 4 th pada of Punarvasu which is ruled by Jupiter in the amsa of ‘Amrita’ (Nectar) in the sign of Moonalong with a Panchami (5H) Moon in the 8H of immortality after death.Example 2: Crichton, Michael – Jurassic Park Writer & also Movie Director513

American writer, the author of best-selling sci-fi thrillers, many of which were made into movies.He wrote and directed the movie "Westworld." Other major works include "The Great Train Robbery" (healso directed the film) "Travels," "Congo," "Sphere," "Jurassic Park" and "Rising Sun."The 9L Jup is exalted in Asc in Punarvasu 4 th pada in sign of Cancer with Moon in quadrant to it, Jupiteris the PK (5H of author) supported by exalted Mer in Virgo in 3H of writing.Venus In Punarvasu If Sun aspects Venus, then, the native works in the armed forces. If Moon aspects then the native loves fine food and beautiful clothes. One is fair and haslong hair. If Mars aspects then the native is fortunate and trades in land. If Mercury aspects, then, he is decorated with many titles, and has a happy family life. If Jupiter aspects then the native is an expert in writing. If Saturn aspects then the native remains knowledgeable and wealthy. The native is deceivedmany a times. Due to less intelligence, one is made fun of and has to tolerate unhappinessmany a times. 3SA Commentary:Ravana says if Venus is in Punarvasu and Mars aspects it then native is fortunate and trades inland. We got only 4 charts in Astro Data Bank with Venus in Punarvasu and dealing or trading inland /real estate and out of it only one had Mars aspect on Venus.Example 1: Hemingway, Carol – Real Estate SalesAs per the text it matches in above chart Venus (luxurious things) is in Punarvasu and Mars (land karaka)gives its 4 th aspect on this Venus. American astrologer based in Key West, FL who has workedprofessionally since 1976. Married to a builder for 15 years and involved in the construction business for adecade, in the late '90s she went back into real estate sales to supplement her income from astrologicalclients.Example 2: Realtor 9687 – Venus in Punarvasu but Mars indirect Association3 SA: See the beauty of the statement in one breath Ravana says the person will be knowledgeable and atthe same time will be deceived due to less intelligence, this kind of charts we often find in real life butnever get any verse that shows it.514

American clerical worker who began buying and selling property for herself in 2/1976 and became arealtor in 1979. Married and divorced three times. She had a nervous breakdown in 1973-1974 andrebuilt herself.As you can see Venus is in Punarvasu with the 4L of property Saturn but no direct aspect of Mars, insteadthe dispositor of Mars is conjunct Venus within 3 degrees. Unfortunately this particular Sun Saturnconjunction with Venus the 7L can give her 2 or 3 marriages.Ravana further says that if Venus is in Punarvasu and aspected by Jupiter then the native is anexpert in writing. With the criteria that Venus be in Punarvasu and the charts be of writers, oneapproximately gets 160 plus charts of writers. With additional criteria of Jupiter’s aspect to be onthis Venus one gets few charts only of writers. Presented are 2-3 charts below of some famous namesrecognisable by Indians and Westerners both.Example 1: Omarr, Sydney – Astrologer WriterAmerican writer and journalist, a nationally syndicated astrologer and newspaper columnist. Omarr is theauthor of "My World of Astrology," 1965, and 12 annual sun-sign paperback books with indications for theyear. In 1996, with more than 40 million copies of his books in print and a column in 300 dailynewspapers, Omarr published his memoirs, "Answer in the Sky - Almost."515

Matching Ravana Samhita, he has Venus in Punarvasu aspected by Jupiter thereby making himan expert writer as per the text.Example 2: Krishna, Pandit Ji Gopi – East Indian Kundalini WriterRodden’s gives a C rating for his time of birth. East Indian Kundalini researcher and author. In 1937 heexperienced a spontaneous awakening of Kundalini energy. He was first published in 1949. Married;three kids. Died of a severe lung infection 7/31/1984.Even if the time of birth is not correct, one can notice that Venus who is in Punarvasu will always beaspected by the 5 th aspect of Jupiter at any time in the day. Assuming for a second that the time of birth iscorrect then we can see that Venus is in the 5H of authorship with Neptune (awakening) with dispositor ofKetu (spirituality) being Jupiter in the Asc and Mars the 3L of lungs with Rahu in the 8H of chronicdiseases, he died of severe lung infection. Another snap shot method of seeing his cause of death is if youread the BSP-15 series on Graha, Venus is in the sign of Gemini which is lungs and he died of lungsinfection being with 6L of disease Moon.Example 3: Emerson, Charles – Father of NCGR and writerAmerican professional astrologer for 25 years and a founding father of NCGR. As an astrologer, he wasthe author of many articles that reflected his special interest in medical and Uranian astrology and alsolectured on Mundane. He was the Editor of "Astrological Review" and assistant Editor of "In Search."Emerson died 9/19/1992, 9:05 PM EDT, New York, NY.As you can notice Venus is Punarvasu in the 11H of astrologer aspected by Jupiter from the 3H of writing.Venus in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries516

If Venus is in the first part then the native has much jewellery and clothes, Is a trader of fruits and flowers, Remains a leader of society and is loved by the people.SA Commentary:Out of a search for Venus in 1st pada of Punarvasu around 230 prominent people were found but notrader of fruits or flowers due to probably lack of database. Among leader of society we found many one ofthem is presented belowExample : Nicholas II, Czar of Russia – Nicknamed Bloody CzarRavana says that if Venus is in the 1 st pada of Punarvasu then native ‘Remains a Leader of Society andLoved by the People’ here one finds contradictory.Russian Czar Nicholas II was the last of the Romanov dynasty that had ruled Russia for more than 300years. Not ready to take on the mantle of royalty, on his coronation date of 10/20/1894 Nicholas had over50 titles and ruled one sixth of the world. On 1/22/1905, Bloody Sunday, 120,000 workers marchedpeacefully to the Czar's palace to protest living and working conditions. Nicholas was spirited off byguards and the soldiers opened fire on the populace, killing men, women and children. This was in part areason for his nickname, "the Bloody Czar," Several military disasters and the collapse of the domesticeconomy led to the Russian Revolution and Nicholas abdicated 3/15/1917. The family was kept inisolation until 7/17/1918 in Ekaterinburg, Siberia when at 2:30 AM they were taken to a basement withsome servants and shot by the Bolsheviks on the orders of Lenin.Now see Venus in 1 st pada of Punarvasu is in the 7H of public life, giving him the position. Note it is 6L ofservants too and he was deceived by them. But this Venus receives no known aspect except from Ketufrom 3H. Ketu means ‘Change’ & also ‘Break’ and that is what happened he got broken away from hisrulership. Now as mentioned above he abdicated himself on 15 th March 1917 letting go of his throne andpublic platform, so his 7H can be activated at that time where Venus is placed and as per Ravana Samhitathe giver of Leader of Society, well during 15 th March 1917 Venus AD was running.Venus in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Venus is in the second part, then, the native is procrastinator, Does not take part in any work and yet remains curious about it, And has to struggle against his unaccepting mind.517

Venus in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Venus is in the third part, then, the native is wealthy and knowledgeable. He changes his profession quite often, and is appointed at a special position in thegovernment. He remains a top notch government officer, administrator and educator. His wife is in a similar trade, has fine qualities and entertains good values.Venus in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Venus is in the fourth part, the native leads life happily. He is especially happy in hismarried life. His wife and children are obedient and talented. In life’s last part, the native gains respect and becomes wealthy. If Saturn aspects then he is interested in other people’s work. He gains less happiness from one’s own family.Saturn In Punarvasu If Sun aspects Saturn then the native finds no happiness. He remains with the lowerclass of people. If Moon aspects, then the native has an attractive personality, powers and a respectableposition and gains from the government. If Mars aspects then the native has knowledge of the ancient wisdom and customs and science. If Mercury aspects then the native is good in trading, has patience to overcome obstacles, iswealthy, and has common sense. If Jupiter aspects, then the native has good qualities, is wealthy, and remains in service tothe government or a highly reputed person. If Venus aspects, then the native is a trader of gold and bronze, gains from ladies, butremains sorrowful on account of wife.SA Commentary:Ravana says that if Saturn is in Punarvasu and aspected by Mars the native can have knowledge ofancient wisdoms, customs and science. Let us try to fit in some logic and it will be only our logicand not the logic of the King Ravana, without which our logic will only be presumptions. Saturn isknown for all ancient things, old manuscripts and old mystic knowledge since Saturn is a Yogi and inKalapurusha (Natural Zodiac), the 8 th (occult) from the 4H of knowledge and the Pot Bearer of Knowledge.At the same time Mars is the 8L of the natural zodiac and the occult lord, oft ignored point. Both of thiscombining together or aspecting or associating in some form can give some form of knowledge of theoccult/jyotisha. Diverting for few minutes from Ravana Samhita one of our studies of Bhrighu Astrologyshows that Mars Saturn association is an important combination in charts of astrologers and wouldproduce a paper on it in the future issues. Right now let us take into ancient customs and take intoaccount the most ancient customs known in the west which is of Shaminism and Wicca and look at anunknown method of divisional charts which should not be too blindly used.Example1: WiccanMars and Saturn both are in Punarvasu and fitting the text the native has knowledge of ancient customsof Wiccan. Astro data bank says ‘American witch, a member of a Wiccan group.’518

Example 2: Luciferia, Diane -French Wiccan high priestessFrench Wiccan high priestess who descended into black masses and orgies until she herself became ahomicide victim. Saturn is in Punarvasu and not aspected by Mars which as per Ravana’s rule should beaspecting, but Saturn’s dispositor Moon is very closely conjunct Mars thereby forming relation. In aparticular divisional chart of highest significance this Mars Saturn is in the 5H of mantra-tantra ‘carryingthe energy’ back into the natal chart.Example 3: Adler, Margot – Leader of Goddess and Pagan Spirituality Movement.American leader in the Goddess and Pagan Spirituality Movement. A Wicca priestess for 18 years, she wasan Elder in the Covenant of the Goddess, a Board Members of "Cuups" and author of "Drawing Down theMoon," a classic study of contemporary Paganism. In her mundane life, Adler is a correspondent forNational Public Radio. She had a child in January 1991. Saturn is in Punarvasu with Rahu and Rahu’snakshatra lord is Mars, thereby creating an association with Mars. Again like previous chart one finds itthat particular divisional chart Saturn and Mars are aspecting each other and Mars is with Moon, if youread the above bio on her, it says that she is author of Drawing Down the Moon.519

Saturn in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Saturn is in the first part, then the native gains through gambling. Through technical work, he leads his life. Because of illegal activities he takes on debt,and causes a sympathetic situation to arise.SA Commentary:Ravana says that Saturn in the 1st pada of Punarvasu indicates the native gains through gambling.Example 1: Late C S Patel - AstrologerSaturn is in the 1 st pada of Punarvasu nakshatra but in the 12 H of losses. Late astrologer C S Patel wasknown as the 1 st astrologer who did stock market and commodities astrology research, he developed newprinciples through his observation skills and even dabbled in commodities market making huge profits aspromised in the Ravana Samhita but as Saturn is Vakri (retrograde) and in the 12H and is the 7L in 12H,he later lost money inspite of knowing finer astrology principles of commodities astrology. He later taughtthese principles to his famed student now 75 year old R G Krishnan who is based in US and has taughtseveral courses in stock market astrology to the west, contributing his own researches in stock marketastrology.Example 2: Ashutosh Kumar’s Database – Astrologer520

The native has Saturn in the 1 st pada of Punarvasu and as per the Ravana Samhita the native can gainthrough gambling. He was a rich person, but he lost a great of his wealth in shares & Stock Market. Youcan see the natives Saturn is with Venus who is the 6L of losses and also is the GK (signifying losses).Saturn in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Saturn is in the second part, then the native earns through interest. He engages in small-big trade and leads his life. He can remain engaged in building houses.SA Commentary:Ravana says that Saturn in the 2nd pada of Punarvasu indicates the native remains engaged in buildinghouses. We have actually not gotten a single chart and but with Saturn in other padas of Punarvasu gotfew people who are engaged in building houses. Only one of them is being reproduced belowExample: Hirsch, Laurence E.American executive and CEO of Centex Homes, Inc., the largest builder of single-family homes, alsoindustrial contracting and selling of construction products. Hirsch has a BS in Economics, a JD degreeand also is head of a profitable Texas S&L.One can see that Saturn is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu and not in the 2 nd pada (quarter) which is therequirement of our text but still it has given the result of being engaged in business of building houses.The time of birth is suspect completely as per records and if we look at just the rashi it is in, it is in the 4 th521

sign which is the natural house of ‘Houses’ the native is no doubt engaged in building houses andSaturn’s hard work has made him the largest builder.Saturn in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Saturn is in the third part, the native remains satisfied in his trade. He is excited and hardworking in chemical trade and alchemy. People in high position work under him.Saturn in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Saturn is in the fourth part, the native remains short or medium statured, but, yet isattractive. His health suffers in childhood. He does not receive parental love. He helps others, but, remains tense and stressed.Rahu In PunarvasuRahu in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Rahu is in the first part, the native is clever in his estimations, expert in his work andremains attached with writing, education and trade. He has swelling on his hands, feet and ears. Some natives are afflicted by “Vata” (wind) caused problems.SA Commentary:Ravana says Rahu in the 1st pada native will have swelling of hands feet and ears.Example: Lurie, Alison – Ears Problems522

American writer. Professor of English at Cornell University since 1976. Her first novel, "Love andFriendship," was published in 1976. Lurie is the author of ten novels, including "Foreign Affairs," whichwon the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1985. Alison was skinny, plain, odd-looking, and deaf in one ear froma birth injury with resulting atrophy of the facial muscles that by her own account, "pulled my mouthsideways whenever I opened it to speak and turned my smile into a sort of sneer."As you can see Rahu is in the 1 st pada of Punarvasu in the 12H of ‘Diseases from Previous Life’ andwith A8 (Chronic and Karmic in Nature). As you can read above in her bio that she was deaf from a birthinjury. Rahu is in the 3 rd sign of Gemini which signifies ears also and probably that’s the Ravana hasindicated ears and arms but why feet will be explained in a future BSP methodology but this verse ofRavana cannot be forgotten.Other Examples of Rahu in 3 rd pada (not 1 st pada which our text says) of Punarvasu but still ear &leg problems1) Name: MEDICAL: MENINGITIS 13873, Date: 6/4/1963, Time: 18:57 EDT (+5:00), Gender: M, Place:Chester, PA, Lat: 39 N 50, Lng: 75 W 21Biography: American case of spinal meningitis at age 16 months that left him with severe deafness. Abrother, born 11/20/1965, is also deaf from illness at the age of one. The boys both had six operationseach to remove fluid from the ears. They both play on handicapped football and wrestling teams.2) Name: MEDICAL: AMPUTEE 6095, Date: 3/19/1926, Time: 20:00 EST (+5:00), Gender: F, Place: NewBrighton, PA, Lat: 40 N 44, Lng: 80 W 19Biography: American amputee; due to lupus, she had her leg surgically removed February 1975 in SanAntonio, and died 12/17/1975, 3:15 PM.Rahu in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Rahu is in the second part, the native is kind hearted and wears high quality andexpensive clothes, is successful in science and research work and gains fame in it. He remains involved in trade of clothes, gold or bronze and earns through interest too.Rahu in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Rahu is in the third part, the native’s memory is very sharp. He remains satisfied. He has differences in opinion and ideologies from his family members. He remains involved in work in finance, planning commission, or registrar’s office in thegovernment.Rahu in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Rahu is in the fourth part, the native has expertise (siddhi) in writing stories. If Mercury is with Rahu, then the native is an extraordinary astrologer. He is a distinguished mathematician and remains in touch with suspicious characters.SA Commentary:Ravana says Rahu in the 4 th pada native has expertise in writing stories. Let us take varied chartsquickly though 12 charts were found.Example 1: Narayananda, Swami – Indian GuruIndian guru, author of "The Primal Power in Man: The Kundalini Shakti," 1950. He has Rahu in 4 th padaof Punarvasu and is the Amk (Karma) in the 8H of Kundalini (presuming that the birth time is correct butthere is no noteworthy source on his time of birth), he wrote book on Kundalini and Rahu also signifiesKundalini Shakti, as it is the serpent.523

Example 2: Bosco, Henri – French Writer of 30 booksRahu is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu. French writer, a novelist and poet who wrote over 30 books. As aneducator, he was Professor of Comparative Literature at the French Institute in Naples 1920-'30. Died5/04/1976, Nice, France.Ravana further says that if Rahu is in Punarvasu 4 th pada and aspected by Mercury then the nativeis an extraordinary astrologer and/or a mathematician.Example 1: Marino, Yara A.- Developed her own numerology524

Brazilian professional numerologist who developed her own numeric system and, as of 1990, waswriting a book. She became interested in the occult when she was in her twenties and specializes not onlyin numerology but astrology as well. She received a B.S. in Law and has studied psychology, but retired.You can see that the natives Rahu is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu and is aspected by Mercury, for anumerologist one needs to be a mathematician and one can loosely translate that extraordinary astrologerwould mean here a predictor like a numerologist.Ketu In PunarvasuKetu in 1 st Pada – 20 deg Gemini to 23.20 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Aries If Ketu is in the first part, the native is wealthy, has children and is long lived. He is inimical to his siblings, but, maintains good behaviour.Ketu in 2 nd Pada – 23.20 deg Gemini to 26.40 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Taurus (PushkaraNavamsa) If Ketu is in the second part, the native is diseased, physically challenged or has a weakheart. Born into a wealthy family, but, he lives like a pauper. If Ketu is with malefics, the native is an orphan or is sent to an orphanage by his own father.SA Commentary:Ravana says Ketu in the 2 nd pada native is an orphan if Ketu is with malefics. As to why Ravana gaveKetu in Gemini in 2 nd pada a result of adoption is not clear. One make a broad attempt to justify itby saying that Ketu means new beginning, also Ketu in 2 nd pada would be Gemini the sign ofsiblings and owned by Mercury (neutral) so step brothers sisters and at the same time being in 2 nd padawould mean Taurus Navamsa which is the 2 nd house of family hence different family combining the natureof Ketu and Mercury by saying that new beginning in a new family and also Mercury was not owned by hisparents initially. Let us broadly look at Ketu in Punarvasu in other padas and aspected by malefics, sincefrom our existing database one was not able to find out Ketu in 2 nd pada and cases of adoption.Example 1: Guttuso, Fabio Carapezza – Adoption- Ketu in 4 th pada of PunarvasuItalian heir with the death of the painter Renato Guttoso in 10/1986, as Guttoso had adopted him threemonths before his death. The final papers had been signed four days before the painter died. Hisinheritance of the estate was contested by Guttuso's natural son; Antonello Cuzzaniti.525

Ketu is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu (not in 2 nd as per text requirements) and is aspected by Saturnwho is with Mars in the 3H of brother. Saturn always brings in the element of Step, that is step brother,step father or step mother and so on. Its aspect on this Ketu brought in the contest of inheritance by hisstep brother.Example 2: Adopted 12551 – Ketu in 4 th pada of PunarvasuKetu is in 4 th pada of Punarvasu (not in 2 nd pada) and is aspected by Mars Saturn by Saturn’s 10 th aspect.Ketu sits in 2 nd house of family.Example 3: Adopted 14559- Ketu in 4 th pada of PunarvasuKetu is in the 4 th pada of Punarvasu (not in 2 nd ) and is associated with malefic Mars who is 6 th lord ofseparation (separation from parents-9H it is sitting) and aspected by SaturnThere are few more charts where Ketu is in 1 st pada but not being presented here in order to keep thingsbrief.But the most striking thing that you can observe is instead of the drama happening in the 2 nd padathe adoption cases in all the above 3 charts are happening with Ketu in 4 th pada and in all the casesSaturn is aspecting this Ketu. This does not create a dictum but atleast helps us all in seeing thistrend more in other charts.526

Ketu in 3 rd Pada – 26.40 deg Gemini to 30.00 deg Gemini – Navamsa of Gemini(Vargottama Navamsa) If Ketu is in the third part, the native marries twice. He remains in monetary trouble. Both wives seem like enemies to him. He has many children. He dies either by heart trouble or commits suicide.SA Commentary:Ravana says Ketu in the 3 rd pada native dies either due to heart trouble or commits suicide.Regarding suicide with Ketu in 3 rd pada what is the logic is difficult to determine as Ravana likemost sages has not given any logic anywhere. One can procrastinate it like this, Ketu shows newbeginning as per Satya Jatakam one of the finest classics predating Varahamihira and Ketu in 3 rd padameans Gemini, which is the 3H in natural zodiac and it is the house of free will, ketu in 3 rd pada wouldmean Gemini Navamsa which again shows free will by hands and so on. Ketu being in 3 rd pada inVargotamsa makes it double strong and being in a Mercury’s Rasi and Navamsa makes it more mindoriented or mercurial. People who commit suicide can do it with their free will (3H) or due to mind beingafflicted during that period, probably for this reason Ravana could have prescribed suicide for Ketu in 3 rdpada.Example 1: Henlein, Konrad - German politicianGerman politician, a governor during the Third Reich and Nazi gauleiter of occupied Sudetenland duringWW II. Upon the close of the war, he was taken into custody as a war criminal in Pilson prison, where hecommitted suicide before he could go to trial, 5/10/1945.Now see this chart Ketu is in the 3 rd pada of Punarvasu matching Ravana Samhita’s description, this Ketuis in the 12H of exit and 12H also shows bandhana (captivity). You can see that he was taken into custody(bandhana) and on 10 th May 1945 he committed suicide in the Vim dasa of Ketu/Moon – Moon is LL withA8 (death) whom Ketu aspects with 5 th aspect and in Moola Dasa of Mars/Mars – Mars aspects Ketu with4 th aspect and in Kalachakra dasa of Cancer/Cancer – Ketu from 12L of exit aspects Cancer with its 5 thaspect where the Lagna Lord (body) is sitting with A8.Now use Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi combined with this verse of Ravana Samhita, he died on 10 th May1945, 4 days after his 47 th birthday which means 48 th year and that is the 12H of Focus as per BhrighuChakra Paddathi where Ketu the planet of suicide if in 3rd pada Punarvasu as per Ravana Samhita issitting. Ketu is at degree 28.44 and ketu is retrograde so minus it with 30 as taught in earlier articles andyou get around 1 degree 16 minutes, which roughly comes 16 days approx and he died within 4 days of48 th year setting in, how synchronistic that all techniques match in this chart.527

Example 3: Nimeno IIGerman bullfighter who performed under the name Nimeno II. He was severely wounded on September 23,1978 in Logrono, and again gored in a bullfight in Arles, France on September 10, 1989. The greattoreador committed suicide by hanging himself on November 25, 1991, Caveirac, France.Ketu is in the 3 rd pada of Punarvasu satisfying Ravana’s shloka, the German native committed suicide inthe dasa of Jupiter Ketu in Vimshottari where Jupiter is in the 8H of death being the 6L of mishaps and inMoola Dasa as soon as his Ketu AD ended in 45 days he was gone in the AD of Moon who is in the 8H andMD of Saturn who is in the Lagna (body).Example 3: Suicide: Hanged 7622American suicide case by hanging who died 4/24/1969, 15:45 EDT, Manhattan, NY. Ketu is in the 3 rdpada of Punarvasu with 3L of free will Sun & GK (mishaps) Mercury (free will), all this aspected by BK (3H)of actions and free will Jupiter, she died on Rahu (other half of Ketu) MD and Jupiter AD in Vimshottariand in Moola Dasa it was Rahu/Rahu/Jup.There were 4 more cases of Ketu in Punarvasu of suicide of Ketu in other padas but that has not beenexhibited here.Ketu in 4 th Pada – 0 deg Cancer to 03.20 deg Cancer – Navamsa of Cancer (Pushkara &Vargottama Navamsa) If Ketu is in the fourth part, the native is hard working, but, his income is less. He leads his life with hard work. The native gains happiness through the efforts of wise children.528

Thus ends the chapter on Punarvasu of Ravana Samhita and we hope this exhaustive piecefulfils all those loved ones who wrote to us in the month of May 09 on Ravana Samhitaencouraging us by their heartfelt words that mean a lot to us.529

Khannar Vachan - 1OfVaramihira’s Daughter-In-LawByAbhishekha & Amrita, USABengali Typing: Amrita D, USAA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativePublisher:It is a tough job to write an introduction to atext that has no clear cut history writtendown anywhere. What is written below iswhat has been heard or read in non-authoritativesources and there are various versions of the samestory. The ideal introduction to this was collectedaround 2 years back by us and due to formattingof machine it has been lost. There is another storyof Khanna which Abhishekha has put at the endas Appendix.I was introduced to jyotish by myKulguru at the age of eight. After the initialtrigger early in life, I have pursued the studyof jyotish with utmost passion ever since. I amindebted to my better half for the currentwork for not only the typing of the Bengalitext but also for her assistance in translationand continued support to me.

Varahamihira seeing somedanger to his son’s life put him on a small boat inthe sea and his son was picked up by the King ofLanka, who brought him up like his own childand got attached to him. He taught astrology toPrithuyasas and made him master it. After thispart of the story there are 2 versions a) it was amaid who got friendly with Prithuyasas and b) itwas the king’s daughter who got friendly. Theymarried and decided to leave the country and goto India. One day they eloped, the King of Lankafound this out and he was to send his army tobring them back as they had done this behind hisback knowing that he would never allow them toleave his land. Then he cast a prashna chart andsaw that the time on which these love birds haddecided to elope is a definitive time and theywould succeed, so he asked his army to bringthem with honor and he wanted to just have aword with them. When they were brought back,he said to Prithuyasas that I will allow you to goto India with 4 books of astrology (some say 5)provided you will answer a question posted toyou by my general who will accompany youwhen you reach India. If you fail the books won’t530

e yours. Upon which Prithuyasas agreed. When they reached the banks of India, some say itis Kanyakumari, they saw a calf being born. The general accompanying Prithuyasas and his wife askedhim to predict the skin colour of the calf. From far Prithuyasas saw the calf and drew a prashna and saidit is going to be white in color, but when they reached the spot, he saw that it was pink in color, he wasso distraught with his failed prediction that he threw his books in the sea sensing that all his knowledgein astrology was useless. The books of astrology were titled as per the Tatva i.e. Prithvi (earth), Agni(Fire), Jal (water) and so on. Later when he returned to the spot where the calf was there, he saw thecalf licking his skin and the pink filament was coming off, his skin was actually white. He realized thathis prediction was correct and ran to get his books back but Mother Sea had taken it back in her womb.Later Prithuyasas and his wife met the father that is Varahamihira in the city of Ujjain. As timewent back the daughter in law of Varahamihira became very famous for her predictions as she toohad learnt secrets of astrology from the Lanka 1 King. Now comes the part that is indigestible & hopenot true and may Varahamihira forgive us. It is said Varahamihira got jealous of his daughter in lawas everyone in the city would throng to her and not him and he said to his son that if this continues theyno longer would occupy the seat of honor in the Kings court i.e. Navaratna (9 gems) of the Court. Sothey agreed to cut off the tongue of Prithuyasas’s wife and when she came to know of it she said ‘DearHusband, you are God to me (in olden times women treated their husbands as Gods in India) and whateveryou say I will do it willingly but first you learn astrology from me, what the King never taught you’ and then shestarted teaching rarest of secrets of astrology to Prithuyasas and these rumblings of hers has come to beknown as Khannar Vachan. The reason for her name of Khanna is after her tongue was cut, still shewould stutter and predict and thus her name got changed to Khanna is one version of the story. It isdifficult to imagine that a great astrologer like Varahamihira would cut of his daughter in laws tongue, we all havegrown up loving Varahamihira but at the same time none of us know the real story. It is also seen by all of us thatastrologers do anything to be famous and remain famous, they try to catch on to self created thrones that no longerbelongs to them and still many astrologers in India resort to Sadhana of the negative type of occult practices toremain famous or to get knowledge. This practice of using such type of occult mantras tantras is now becomingmore prevalent in the era of Internet Astrology Forums & blogs where for 2 minutes of fame everyone tries tostamp upon the other. Infact some organisations offer you a mantra to start with when you join their astrologycourse or parampara, 99 % of astro students are the gullible lot and believe that mantras are a necessity to learnastrology or to predict, if that was so Indians or Paramparas would have 1000s of years back written articles onhow to time marriage to the day, date of death, date of every event through their mantras. Unfortunately moreharm to one’s life is done via mantras than good which though was the original purpose of it, this conclusion youwould arrive after 30-40 years of intense observation on lives of 1000-2000 astrologers but by then it’s too late asyou yourself would be one of the case studies.As Khanna spoke the rules of astrology combining it with her poetic skills; some part of it whichwas easy for the common man to remember got passed on as her sayings. It is very interestingto note that sayings of Khana are found in other parts of the region such as Nepal, Assam,Bihar, Orissa and Tripura, which support the idea that the sayings are a part of our common heritagewith regional variation. It is said they are also found in Bangladesh. Another version of the story is shewas from South Bengal or Sri Lanka and was the wife of Mihira. Hasna J Moudud 2 in a book review ofAnthology of Bengali Proverbs and Bachans by Muhammad Zamir Published by Bangla Academy, April, 2003writes ‘The author has classified into broad categories the present collection of 139 proverbs. 1. SocialAdages and Proverbs, 2. General Adages, 3. Khana and Agriculture, 4. Adages on Agriculture. The mainfeatures of Khana's Bachans are agricultural wisdom or advice. Khana also included livestock and dairyfarming as important tools for agriculture and livelihood. She gives a lot of importance to paddy as themost important crop then and now. She also was an ecologist and encouraged the merits of local fruitsrich in food nutrients such as banana. To this day her sayings and advice have not proven wrong inspite1 One must note that Ravana who was from Lanka was supposed to be the greatest astrologer ever born. His knowledge wassupposed to be unparalleled.2 http://www.thedailystar.net/2003/07/29/d30729150290.htm531

of so called agricultural advances made. The present book will throw light on ancient folkliterature and merits of indigenous knowledge.’A Blog 3 post writes: ‘Khanar bachan or Khana’s verses are in local and Bengali languages in poetry formalong with rhymes and they exist as oral form only. Khana, a Bengali woman, is the compiler of theseverses. She was an expert astrologer too. Her verses were the most basic guidelines for traditionalagriculture in Bangladesh. Though most of Khana’s verses are associated with agriculture yet, there aresome verses which are related to some other aspects like social life, cooking, food, habit astrology etc.Khana’s contribution in agriculture is unforgettable and is widely accepted by the farmers. In fact,farmers in villages are still following some of khana’s verses in modern agricultural practices. Khana’sverses are mostly highlighted some key factors of crop management like time of sowing, harvesting,seasonal adaptation, etc. In some of her verses astronomical influences on agriculture are present too.Some examples of Khana’s bhachan are as follows:“Khana bole hal niye mathe jobe koribe gamonAge dekho chashi bhai jeno hoy subhokhonShobhokhon dekhe soda koribe jatraPothe jeno na hoy oshubho barta”Meaning:Khana Says, The farmer should select an auspicious time before going to the filed with his plow. On theway he shouldn’t listen to any bad news. This indicates the psychological condition of the farmer beforegoing to work.Another one:“Mathe giye age koro dik niruponPurbo dik hote hal koroho chalonKhan bole mor kotha shuno mohashoyPhashal pholibe odhik nahi sonsoy”Meaning:After going to the field, first the farmers should select the spot to start plowing and it should be from eastside. Khana says if someone follows this suggestion he definitely will have good harvest.“Amabashya ar purnimate je ba dhore halTar dhukhkho thake chirokal”Meaning:A farmer who holds the plow on the Amaboshya (new-moon-day) and on Purnima (full-moon-day) he will beunhappy throughout his life.“Aaush dhaner chasLage tin mash”Meaning:It takes three months to cultivate Aasuh rice (One kind of rice in Bangladesh)Thus, Khana’s Bachan have a great impact on traditional agriculture of Bangladesh.We at Saptarishis Astrology tried finding manuscripts on Khanna but could not get our hand onKhanna’s Vachan, assuming that some rare astrological principles might be unearthed. Our search leadto a Kolkata based contact cum publisher Mr Manish Agarwalla who kindly sent us a free copy of twoversions of Khanna’s book that he said might not be authentic. Then we had traced the name of onepublished work of 1908 which we could not get our hand on which is supposed to be most authentic. The3 http://jbpv.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/folklores-the-heart-of-bangladeshi-culture-and-heritage-part-six/532

link has now become inactive 4 . If someone has any of Khanna’s authentic work kindly write tous. Unfortunately getting this one document scanned, sent to various people who knew astrology andBengali both, begging them to translate took us years. Finally one girl got it translated from Bengali toHindi and then it was sent to Baroda astrologer B.L.Parmar who started translating it but took time dueto his old age and other engagements. In total 6 people were approached who promised to translate andevery time after 3-4 months of constant tireless follow up we discovered that none were doing it, at atime we felt that maybe there is nothing of importance in this work of Khanna and that might be true eventually butthat is the process of publishing, you spend a long time hunting for a manuscript, long time hunting fora scholar who understands astrology and that language, then after months and years you find out ifthere is anything worth in it. So in total it took us 2 years of constant efforts to get this out and stillnothing substantial to publish here. But in the meanwhile a man from US came in our contact and hereadily agreed for this project with the able help of Amrita who typed the Bengali font & disciplined thetranslator from his busy schedules. In the meanwhile Parmar Saheb finished his translation and whenwe told him our dilemma he said in a second no worries let this man from US do it, that is his destiny.Parmar could easily do it since he is one of the only men in Gujarat who donates 1000 copies of rarebooks every year to astrologers through his Baroda Astro Club.This man from US and our interaction grew and he understood the philosophy of jyotish that isneeded now & came forward that he wants to not put his name but a pen name and he thus accepted thepen name of Abhishekha. There is another work in Bengali that is culled from 27 classics out of whichmany ancient works are not available today, that task is pending and we hope Abhishekha either does itor his efforts inspire other Bengali astrologers to come and do it. May Abhishekha’s work live forever isour request to God.4 http://banglapedia.search.com.bd/HT/V_0002.htm533

However, if the vessel is full with water, it isconsidered auspicious. During travel if someone calls from behind it is considered inauspicious,however, the only exception to this is if one’s mother is the person calling out the name. If one sees a dead bodyat the beginning of a journey it is considered to be a good omen. A similar good omen is also whensomeone is seen dying at the death bed during the journey. Seeing a jackal during journey is a goodomen and even better omen is if the jackal is on the left side of the individual. Seeing a cow with its head534

aised is a good omen. A crying person on the left side of an individual is better omen than alaughing one.ঊষা যাeা :Omen’s for journeys at dawnমেল ঊষা বুেধ পা ।রিব গুরু মেল ঊষা ।ডােক পািখ না ছাড়েয় বাসা।বiেব খােব েহন আশা ।যথা icা তথা যা ।।10আর যত ফাঁসা ফুঁসা ।।11তাহারi নাম জািনেব ঊষা ।।12যিদ িফের না পায় বাসা ।।13নেড় পিখ,তবু uেড় না।14তখিন েকন েস যায় না ।।15Journey done on the dawn of Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday is considered good.Dawn is the time when birds chirp without leaving their nest. When the night is at its end and the houris darkest, that is when we say it is dawn. This is when birds feed in their nest. Even though they wouldwant to fly, they don’t do so at this hour.

One should not plough the field on full moon or new moon. If one does so then sorrow shall followhim forever. The bullocks will not move as they will suffer from musculoskeletal disorders due to thelunar tides. The farmer will not have rice to eat. This is the reason that Khana has suggested her farmerbrothers not to start ploughing the field at this time.আuশ o পােটর জিম :Land for growing Aush (a substitute of rice) and juteেবেল জিমেত আuশ ফেল । পােটর ভুঁi আটােল ।। 39মানুষ মের যােত,গাছলা বাঁেচ তােত ।।পছলা সরায় গাছলা বাের, েগাঁধলা িদেয় মানুষ মাের ।। 40Rotten “gobar” (excretion of the cow), rotten manure on one side causes a lot of unpleasant odor in thefarmer’s home and is deadly if consumed as food but on the other hand is extremely good for trees astheir manure.ধানয্ েরাপণ pকরণ :The process to sow grainsআuশ ধেনর চাষ । লােগ িতনমাস ।। 41েকাল পাতলা ডাগর গুিছ । লkী বেল েহথায় আিছ ।। 42আষােঢ় কড়াn নামেক । াবেণ কড়াn ধানেক ।। 43ভাdের কড়াn শীষেক । আিেন কড়াn িকসেক ।। 44আষােঢ়র প িদেনেরাপণ কের ধােন ।।বােড় তার কৃ িষবল । কৃ িষকাযর্ তার সফল ।। 45আঁধার পের চাঁেদর কলা । কতক কােলা কতক ধলা ।। 46uoের uঁচা, দিkেণ কাত । ধারায় ধারায় ধােনর ধাত ।। 47চাল ধান দুi সsা । িমি িমি কত কথা ।। 48Aush crop grows in three months.

If sown in the month Bhadra, very little growth is seen andif sown in Ashwin, it results in useless efforts since growth and harvest is almost negligible.538

The crop flower is observed twenty daysafter the bush appears. When the loaded flowers resemble the head of a horse, thirteen days after thatharvest should be done.After twenty days from seeing the head of the crops, Khana advises the farmers to reap the fields. It willtake ten days to harvest and then the crops should be loaded on carts.If fields are reaped in the month Margashira, the farmer gets full harvest. If it is done in the month ofPoush, the farmer gets 6/16th of the harvest. If done in the month Magha, the farmer gets only dried cropsand if done in the month Phalgun, the farmer gets nothing.540

She was poisoned in her childhood by her step-aunt when in herunconscious state Saptarishis gave her the knowledge of jyotish.In the serial on Zee Bangla, till now she is pretty much a kid and has a childhood bond with Mihira who isshown as the son of the King's priest. However, later in the serial, the priest unveils the mystery that hefound this child on the sea-coast floating in a casket. Here, in the serial it seems she would be the wife ofMihira (who may have been the son of Varahadev, one of the Navaratna in the court of Vikramaditya).Mihira is not the original son of the temple priest but he found him on the sea coast. They also showedVarahadev as one of the nine gems of Vikramaditya. So, it is possible that the original story line (as reportedin this article) is valid.Khona was born around 1500 years ago to Upatissa, the King of Ceylon. Fromearly childhood, Khona showed traits of being distinctly different. She was intelligent and smart,studied astrology and was very good at mathematical calculations. She was called the Bhagyalakshmi ofthe kingdom. The life of Khona was very dramatic… astrology, politics, conspiracy, love… her journeyencompassed them all. Khona’s prophecies are still relevant today as most of them are based onmathematics and science.Over the years, many different views have emerged about the life of Khona and curiosity abouther life abounds endlessly. The show’s (TV serial) unique storyline is backed by extensive historicalresearch.“He has read some couplets in Bengali of the girl astrologer, Khana, who was a genius. Sheput in couplet forms some of the finest secrets of astrology.’’~ Yogis, Destiny and Wheel of Time, KN Rao quotes his Guru's words.542

Both Vama and Dakshinahold Sixty-four agamas or more. Most of them are in the form of Siva-Sakti conversation).Sri Narpati grasped and practiced the mention from these scriptures before hefinally condensed them to “ṇarpatijayacarya ṣvarodaya”.These Yamalas are:1. Brahmayamal.2. Vishnuyamal.3. Rudrayamal.4. Aadiyamal.5. Skandayamal.6. Kurmayamal.7. Deviyamal.He also read Yuddhajayarnava, Kaumari auśal, Yogini zāl, akśoghnamṭrimundam, ṣvararnavam, bhuval bhairavm, ṣvarabhairav patal. He quotesthat the above granthas were related to Swarashastra.Commentator: Most of the Granthas mentioned above are not present in their exact form.It is difficult to find them.Shloka 8 to 9अथ ःवरशास्तर्ःय ूधानत्वम ्atha svaraśāstrasya pradhānatvam545

Even if he owns lot of soldiers, horses, elephants and supporters,he will lose the battle owing to this “Hina Swara”.The author mentions that warriors can win the battle only to the extent tillthey lose all good swaras expounded by a “Swara Shastra’ expert.Commentator: The author is giving due importance to an expert of Swara Shastrargyaand his presence to win battles.Shloka 10 to 12कथंिचिद्वजयी युद्धे ःवरज्ञेन िवना नृपःघुणवनोर्पमम ्तत्तु यथांघचटकमहः १०kathaṁcidvijayī yuddhe svarajñena vinā nṛpaḥghuṇavarnopamam tattu yathāṁghacaṭakagrahaḥ 10यःयैकोऽिप गृहे नािःत ःवरशास्तर्ःय पारगःरम्भाःतम्भोपमं राज्यम ् िनिश्चतम ् तःय भूपतेः ११yasyaiko'pi gṛhe nāsti svaraśāstrasya pāragaḥrambhāstambhopamaṁ rājyam niścitam tasya bhūpateḥ 11ःवरशास्तर्े सदाभ्यासी सत्यवादी िजतेिन्ियःतःयादेशःय यः कत्तार् जयौीःतम ् नृपं भजेत ् १२svaraśāstre sadābhyāsī satyavādī jitendriyaḥtasyādeśasya yaḥ karttā jayaśrīstam nṛpaṁ bhajet 12A king can win a battle even without the help of a “Swara Shastra” expert, butthen his triumph will be as short lived as the letters formed through floorbeetle or as the blindness of a Pied Crested Cuckoo (Chataka).546

Commentator: Floor beetles are fast and alphabets will vanish if beetles are used forformation of words. Pied crested cuckoo has a short-lived desire for rainwater; which isreferred as blindness over here.A king, who is not assisted by a “Swara Devagya” (expert of Swara) has hiskingdom standing on the poles made of stem of a Banana tree.Commentator: Stem of a banana tree indicates weakness of the base.The king will be bestowed the wealth of victory; if he follows the man who isrighteous, who has controlled his cravings; and who is an expert of“Swarashastra”.Shloka 13 to 19दशैके न शतं तैश्च सहस्तर्ं शतसंख्ययाःवरोदयबली राजा दशघ्नम ्हंित लीलया १३daśaikena śataṁ taiśca sahastraṁ śatasaṁkhyayāsvarodayabalī rājā daśaghnam haṁti līlayā 13पुंपैरिप न योद्धव्यम ्यावद्धीनःवरोदयःःवरोदयबले ूाप्ते योद्धव्यम ्शास्तर्कोिटिभः १४puṣpairapi na yoddhavyam yāvaddhīnasvarodayaḥsvarodayabale prāpte yoddhavyam śāstrakoṭibhiḥ 14ःवरज्ञः शकु नज्ञश्च दैवज्ञो मंऽपारगःके रलीिवत्तथा राज्ञाम ् कीित्तर्तं रत्नपंचकम ्१५svarajñaḥ śakunajñaśca daivajño maṁtrapāragaḥkeralīvittathā rājñām kīrttitaṁ ratnapaṁcakam 15ःवरचबािण चबािण भूबलािन बलािन चज्यौितशम ्शकु नं चैव षंडगािन वदाम्यहम ्१६svaracakrāṇi cakrāṇi bhūbalāni balāni cajyautiśam śakunaṁ caiva ṣaṁḍagāni vadāmyaham 16यामलेषु च सवेर्शु यान्युक्तिन ःवरोदयेिवंशितः ःवरचबािण वआयेऽहम ्तािन चाधुना १७yāmaleṣu ca sarveśu yānyuktani svarodayeviṁśatiḥ svaracakrāṇi vakṣye'ham tāni cādhunā 17माऽा वनोर् महोजीवो रािशभर्ं िपण्डयोगकौ547

One with a weakSwara Bala should avoid fighting everyone, even a flower.With proper Swarabala one can fight with the strongest man carrying heavyweapons. Sri Narpati says that a king should have Pancharatnas (Five gems) inhis court. They include:1.ṣvaragya(A knower of Swaras)2. ṣakunagya (A person who has expertise in omens)3. ḍaivagya (A person who has expertise in astrology)4. ṁantraśastri (An expert of Mantras)5. keriliya jyotirvid (An expert of Kereliya astrology)Sri Narpati now explains the twenty chakras been defined in Shadangas. Thisincludes Swarachakra, Chakra, Bhubala, Bala, Sahakuna and Jyotisha. Theyare the six parts, which carry twenty types of Chakras.1| ṁatrasvara2| varnaṣvara3| ġrahasvara4| zeevasvara5| aśisvara6| ṇakśatrasvara7| pindasvara8| yogasvara9| ḍvadaśvarśiksvara10| varśik svara11| āyanasvara12| itusvara13| ṁasiksvara14| pakśhsvara15| ḍinasvara16| ṇadisvara548

One can hear these cosmic sounds during the awakening of Kundalini. Asthe shadchakras get “bhedan” or are pierced, several nadas are produced. In superconsciousstate, these nadas provide keys to the kala gyana or knowledge of time.The Swaras correlated to chakras of human body, which produce cosmic nada. Theyinfluence human psyche by different patterns. Knowledge of these swaras gives us thekey to physical, psychological and transcendental state of mind.The all-pervading Maya chakras mentioned by these chakras are projections to youroriginal six inside. Once you know what is inside; you will always know what is outside.Once you know what is outside (swara chakras), you will know what is inside.In short, these chakras are cosmic sound patterns that hold the golden key of“Kalagyana”.Shloka 20 to 32पूवर्मुक्ते षु शास्तर्ेषु मया ज्ञातिन यािन चचतुरशीितचबािण तेषाम ्नामािन वच्म्यहम ्२०pūrvamukteṣu śāstreṣu mayā jñātani yāni cacaturaśīticakrāṇi teṣām nāmāni vacmyaham 20एकाशीितपदं चबं शतपदं नवांशकम ्छऽं िसंहासनं चबं कू मर्ं पञ्चिवधं ित्वदम ् २१ekāśītipadaṁ cakraṁ śatapadaṁ navāṁśakamchatraṁ siṁhāsanaṁ cakraṁ kūrmaṁ pañcavidhaṁ tvidam 21भूदेशनगरक्षेऽम ् गृहकू मर्ं च पञ्चमम ्पद्मचबं फणोशाख्यं राहुकालानलं मतम ् २२bhūdeśanagarakṣetram gṛhakūrmaṁ ca pañcamampadmacakraṁ phaṇośākhyaṁ rāhukālānalaṁ matam 22सूयर्कालानलं चबं चन्िकालानलं तथाघोरकालानलं चबं शोलकालानलं मतम ् २३sūryakālānalaṁ cakraṁ candrakālānalaṁ tathāghorakālānalaṁ cakraṁ śoolakālānalaṁ matam 23शिशसूयर्समायोगे चबं कालानलं मतम ्संघट्टं सप्तमं ज्ञेयं सप्तकालानलािन च २४śaśisūryasamāyoge cakraṁ kālānalaṁ matam549

Either some slokas of this part are missing,or Sri Narpati himself avoided the same.

He says that aking who is adorned with Swara strength of Matradi Twelve kala swaras in a battle; can only bedefeated in a war, if the opponent king is given the power through Bhubala. Sri Narpati has notexplained Bhubala as yet. It seems that this is an important Swara strength which rendersextreme power to an individual.Shlokas 36 to 49 carries the names of the different types of Bhubalas.553

Sri Narpati is praising Tantra, Mantras and Yantras over here. He says that if the enemy is morepowerful because of Bhubala in swarachakras, and if his strength and power is impenetrable;then the opponent should employ the strength of mantras. He mentions the different types ofmantras and tantric instruments which can be devised for victory:1. Ranabhisechan2. Deekasham3. Ranarcha’4. Ranakankan5. Veerpata6. Ranapata7. Jayapata8. Mekhla9. Kavach Nyas10. Mudra Raksha11. Kanchuki12. Tilak13. Ghutika Kapdirka14. Weapons made during auspicious Muhurtas15. Weapons smeared with different types of chemicals.16. Bandhan of arrows17. Kahla18. Dahhaka19. Muraj20. Bhasma Sadhan’21. Maran-Mohan22. Stambhan23. Videshan-Ucchatan24. Vashikaran25. Pataka26. Pichhak27. Yantras that destroy Parkrityas28. Shanti Upayas for your own armySri Narpati claims that a person who understands and uses all these strengths can even defeatthe king who is as powerful as Indra*. Everything will be possible for that person.Commentator: Please note that several strengths mentioned in these shlokas are very sacred andpowerful. It takes time to fully comprehend these powers. Moreover these powers are shared onlythrough Guru shishya parampara. These techniques are not shared with anybody. A teacher willonly impart this knowledge when he acknowledges that his student is humble and will not misusethis power.*Indra is mentioned in many classics and puranas.

Jyotish Kalpadruma - 1OfShri Maharaja Shambhu SinghTranslated ByA. K. Singh, IndiaSanskrit Typing: Virendra Battu, IndiaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeA .K. Singh is one of the young minds whoare dedicated to the cause of astrology. Hetravels all over India searching for raremasters and has a penchant for getting downto rare methods especially in Yogini Dasa.He is more inclined in finding relationbetween astrology and palmistry. His realinterest is to learn rare methods of timingevents via palmistry for super fine timing inpredictions that Vedic astrology cannoteasily offer.Jyotish Kalpadruma is a treatise writtenby Shri Maharaja Shambhu Singh Ji. Heis also the author of book “GyanPradeep”. The book “Gyan Pradeep”became very famous and the author wascompelled to write another book on jyotishawhich contains Prashna Sastra and PhalitShastra both, named “Jyotish Kalpadruma”which published in 1980 from ShriVenkateshwar Press of Mumbai. In thebook “Jyotish Kalpadruma” he hastranslated a rare astrological treasure trovecalled “Jinendramala” as part of first chapterand has added his own knowledge ofastrological principles in other differentchapter named as “Swa Anubhut Jyotish”means “astrological principles foundworking in self’s own experiences”. He hasdevoted last chapter as “SiddhantPrakaranam” which discusses different basisof astrology and astronomy. Along with theastrological principles he has given anumber of horoscopes of people who werevery famous at that time for illustrationpurposes.This book contains some very wellknown astrological principles but some arevery different from others. He hasemphasised to see the results from the“Karakat Bhavam” principle also forobtaining more accuracy. He has alsostressed to make the prasna chart while559

making prediction using the birth chart of native so that each and every minute detailsof the different incidents can be foretold with full precision. Some claim this style of lookingat prashna cum natal chart is a new or parampara technique that was existent in their ownparampara but you can see that author Maharaja Shambhu Singh has stressed on it in printmuch before paramparas came on internet.In this article I have tried my best to find out some principles which are found innative horoscope and they work as ready reckoner, what is not to be missed is the section inthis article on finding deity one can pray to, given in Jyotish Kalpadruma is a differentversion of what is followed in internet forums but you will find with observation that theseprinciples of deity given in Kalpadruma does hold good in practice though orthodox. Thewriter has discussed Prasna related astrological principles in more details which will bediscussed in upcoming issues of this magazine. I can only stress how much this work of ShriShambhu is given preference in Varanasi thereby exemplifying its importance.Consideration of Bhava:zsÉÉåMü –xÉÑrÉÉï¬zÉqÉå iÉÉiÉ cÉlSìÉlqÉÉiÉÉ cÉiÉÑjÉïMåü |pÉÉæqÉɨÉ×iÉÏrÉå pÉëÉiÉÉ cÉ oÉÑkÉÉiÉç wɸå cÉ qÉÉiÉÑsÉÈ ||aÉÑÂuÉÈ mÉgcÉqÉå mÉѧÉÈ zÉÑ¢üÉiÉç xÉmiÉqÉMåü Îx§ÉrÉqÉç |zÉÌlÉiÉÈ A¹qÉå qÉ×irÉÑeÉïlqÉMüÉsÉå ÌuÉÍcÉÇirÉiÉå ||Here author emphasizes that for seeing the results related with father, mother, co-borns,spouse and others we should check the corresponding bhava from the corresponding karaka.These rules can be found in nadi grantha. Author perhaps believes that mixing nadi ruleswith Parasara produces more accuracy in prediction.1. Sun is the significator of father hence 10 th house from sun should be considered as thehouse of father.2. In the same way 4 th house from Moon is the house of mother.3. 3 rd house from Mars is for coborns.560

4. 5 th from Jupiter is considered for children.5. 7 th from Venus is considered for spouse.6. Mercury is the karaka for maternal uncle so 6 th house from mercury is considered formaternal uncle.7. Death should be seen from the 8 th house from Saturn as it is the karaka for death.Note: In the same way we can add for checking one’s career we should check the 10 th housefrom Saturn. I have observed many times people getting job in the dasa of the planet placedin the 10 th house from Saturn or lord of 10 th house from Saturn. Double transit of Jupiter andSaturn when activates the 10 th house from Saturn the person gets a new job.Here we should remember that Parasara has stated that Sun, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturnare the karaka for the 10 th house. In some nadi methods Saturn is said to be karma karakaand in experience it is found to be true.Maturity Age For Different PlanetszsÉÉåMü - ²ÉÌuÉÇzÉÉå ÌSlÉlÉÉjÉÉuÉÇwÉïMüÍjÉiÉÈ cÉlSìå cÉiÉÑÌuÉïzÉÌiÉÈ A¹ÉÌuÉÇzÉÌiÉMüÈ MÑüeÉxÉrÉ MüÍjÉiÉÉå SÇiÉåoÉÑkÉxrÉ xqÉ×iÉÉÈ || eÉÏuÉåwÉÉåÄQûzÉmÉgcÉÌuÉÇzÉpÉ×aÉÑeÉåwɸ̧ÉxÉÉæËUuÉïSåiÉç EccxjÉÉ rÉÌS MåülSìaÉÉÈ zÉÑpÉZÉaÉÉÈMÑüuÉïÎliÉ pÉÉarÉÉå SrÉqÉç ||1||Different planets get matured at different ages. Their effects can be experienced at thatparticular age.1. Sun gives its result in 22 nd year.2. Moon gives its result in 24 th year.3. The result of Mars is felt in 28 th year.4. Mercury gives its result in 26 th or 32 nd year.5. Jupiter’s effect is realised in 16 th or 32 nd year.6. The result of Venus comes in 26 th year.7. 36 th year is the year of Saturn.8. Rahu and ketu gives their effect in 42 nd year.All these planets exhibit their benefic and malefic effects at above given years according totheir lordship and their placement. If benefic planets are placed in Kendra in their exaltationsign they produce excellent results at their maturity age. 11 Publisher: Very few texts have given maturity age of planets though many various tables of maturity ages are incirculation in various modern authored astrological literatures. One unknown method of using maturity ages ofplanets which readers are requested to experiment is using the ages when 2 or more planets are in combination, e.g. ifVenus & Saturn are in 12H for Ge Asc, then add Venus (26) + Saturn (36)= 62, divide it by 2=31 years. So in 31 st yearthe native will have high sexual & spiritual activity and the love affair could be with an older woman or in whose chartSaturn is prominent and it would be an affair from a chronic past life (12H placement) giving lot of grief and a childwould be involved (Venus is 5L) in this story of the 31 st year of the native and/or the woman can either be from same561

If the lords of 1st, 4th, 9th, 5th and 10th houses are interconnected at the birth time, theperson becomes emperor.2. If lord of lagna 4 th house and 10 th house are together the person gets benefit fromkingdom.3. If lord of lagna, 5 th and 9 th are together and placed in Kendra or Trikona the persongets enormous wealth.4. If lord of lagna and 6 th house are placed in 6 th house the native suffers from illness bybirth.5. If lord of lagna and 12 th house are situated in 12 th house the person becomes poor.6. If lord of lagna and 7 th house are placed 6 th or 8 th house the native has short life.7. If lord of lagna and 8 th house are situated in 6 th , 8 th or 12 th house then native loses hishealth and wealth in a short duration of life.8. If the lord of lagna and 2 nd house is situated in 5 th house with lord of 5 th house theperson gets immense wealth from kingdom.9. In the same way if lord of lagna and 2 nd house are situated in 9 th house with the lord of9 th house the person is very wealthy and his richness increases day by day.10. If the lord of lagna and 11 th house are together in Kendra or Trikona the wealthincreases due to business.If all these yoga happens in Kendra or Trikona the full benefic results are obtained and if ithappens in 6 th , 8 th or 12 th house both benefic and malefic results are felt by the native duringhis lifetime depending upon the ongoing dasa. The writer has emphasized that if the bhavalord is associated with the yoga formed in that particular yoga, the yoga becomes veryeffective. It can be understood as if lord of lagna and 5 th house are placed in 9 th house itforms very good dhana yoga (wealth giving combination) but if at the same time lord of 9 thhouse is also placed in the 9 th house the yoga becomes very effective and blesses the nativewith immense wealth and a first order of Rajyoga.In the same way if lord of lagna and lord of 6 th house are placed together the native has weakconstitution but if both are placed in 6 th house itself the effect of this yoga increases andland or a foreigner. Another method is supposed Saturn is at the 20 th degree then take 66.66 percent of the 36 yearsallotted to Saturn which would be 24 years of maturity for Saturn to give some result. Often cases of early death e.g.24/28 years and people say does the maturity age of higher planets like Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu does not function insuch charts, but we must use the degrees of planets and find the year of the planet.562

native becomes born sick. His resistance power is very less so he succumbs to environmentalhazards very easily.Yoga for Blindness1. If lord of 2 nd and 12 th are together and also they are connected with Sun or Moon it cancause blindness depending upon the malefic influence.2. If Moon is in Cancer lagna and aspected by Mars and Saturn the native becomesblind.3. If Sun is in Leo lagna and aspected by Mars and Saturn the person becomes blind.4. If Sun is in 2nd house and aspected by Mars and Saturn or Moon is in 12 th houseaspected by Mars and Saturn the person becomes blind from left eye.5. If Sun is in 12 th house aspected by Mars and Saturn or Moon is in 2 nd house aspectedby Mars and Saturn then the person becomes blind from right eye.Sun and Moon are the luminaries so their affliction along with the 2 nd or 12 th lords which arethe eyes of Kalapurusha chart causes blindness. The degree of blindness depends on thedegree of affliction.Yoga for InfidelityThe author has given some very important yoga which are very useful to judge the characterof the native.1. If lord of lagna is in lagna or 7 th house, lord of 7 th house is in Kendra in the sign ofVenus or Saturn and at the same time benefic planet (SA: note benefic) is in the 4 thhouse this yoga constitutes first order of infidelity.2. If lord of 7th house is with Rahu and Saturn and aspected by Mars the person has physicalrelationship with many women.3. Moon in 8 th house also signifies infidelity.4. If lord of 7 th house is situated with Venus, Mercury and Ketu in 7 th house itself andaspected by lord of lagna. The person has at least two wives. If at the same time anyplanet is situated in 8 th house, it becomes yoga of high order infidelity.5. If lord of 7 th house is aspected with Moon, Saturn and lord of lagna, this also makes aperson characterless.6. If Gemini sign occupies 7 th house and any planet that is inimical to this sign is placedhere the native’s character becomes questionable.7. If Sun and Mercury are posited in 7th house in inimical sign the person becomes characterless.Yoga for Childlessness1. If Venus is situated in 5th house in Aries or Scorpio alone or in any house in these signs, theperson’s vitality is very less.563

2. If in female chart Mars is in Taurus or Libra the native has good fertility. But if this yoga ispresent in male chart, the native’s wife is not fertile. If in the same chart both yoga arepresent both husband and wife has very less fertility that is why they becomeissueless.Yoga Related With Longevity1. If lord of lagna, 8 th house, 10 th house and Saturn all are situated in movable sign theperson has very long life.2. If among lord of lagna and lord of 8 th house any one is situated in fixed rasi, this alsogives long life.3. If among lord of lagna and 8 th house any one is in movable and one is in dual sign thenative has short life.4. If among lord’s of lagna and 8 th house one is in fixed rasi and other is in dual sign thenative has medium life span.Yoga Related With Diseases1. If Mercury, Jupiter and lord of 2 nd house are situated in 6 th , 8 th or 12 th house the nativeis speechless.2. If Sun and Mars both are situated in Aries, Scorpio or Leo the person suffers from the diseasesof piles.3. If Mars is situated in Capricorn sign, the native suffers from dysentery in his 28 th year of age.4. If Sun, Mars, Saturn all are situated in 6 th house or aspecting 6 th house the native suffersblood related diseases. But this yoga is good for achieving success over opponents orenemies.5. If 7 th house has the sign Aries, Scorpio, Leo or Capricorn and Sun, Saturn are situatedin this house or both aspect this house the native suffers from urinal related problems.In most of the cases the native dies of this disease only.6. If Sun and Mars are situated in 2 nd house the person suffers from teeth problems.7. Mercury is the karaka of Skin. So if mercury is situated in 6 th or 8 th house in close proximitywith Sun, skin disease is caused.Some Other Important Yoga1. The person becomes proficient in foreign languages if Saturn is situated in 9 th house.2. From the 9 th house one can predict the deity of the native.a.

3. If lord of 5 th house and lord of lagna are together in 6 th , 8 th or 12 house the nativeadopts a son.4. If Jupiter is situated in 5 th house in the sign of Libra or Jupiter is placed in 11 th house inthe sign of Aries native is blessed with Son but the longevity of the son is very short.5. The native is issueless or blessed with only daughter’s when Jupiter is in 5 th house in thesign of Aquarius.6.

If Saturn is in 12 th house the native spends all his life on loans and the beauty of thisyoga is that he manages to get loans anyhow. In his old days he loses his vision or hehas very less eye sight.12. If lord of 10 th house is situated in 6 th , 8 th or 12 houses the native gets very lesshappiness from his father.13. If Jupiter is placed in 12th house native spends his income in pilgrimage and auspiciouswork.14. The native becomes fraudulent Pandit (priest) if Jupiter is placed in 12th house in the signof Cancer, Leo, Sagitarius or Pisces.15. If the above said Jupiter is placed in 5 th house the native is proficient in mantra sastra buthe manages to be blessed with male child after difficulties. It means he has to performYagna or propitiate Jupiter planet through its Vedic mantra.16. Saturn, Sun and Rahu are said to be seperative planets. If they are posited in 7th house theycause separation from wife. If they are placed in 12th house the native does not enjoy sexualpleasure fully. The native has to wander here and there in his whole life for achievingsuccess but mostly he meets with the failures in his life.Gochara Prediction for Jupiter1.

If10 th house is Leo, then Sun is in its own sign and Rahu aspects its own in Aquarius and vice versa)570

Verse 4If malefics are in ascendant, 12 th house and in 7 th house and benefics in other houses, then thenative is a destroyer of one’s own family.Verse 5If 6 th house has Moon, 7 th house has Rahu, 8 th house has Saturn, and then, the native’s wifedoes not live long.Verse 6If ascendant has Saturn, 6 th house has Moon, 7 th house has Mars, and then, the father doesnot live long.Verse 7If the 10 th house has Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, or Moon, then, all the natives work bear fruitsand he/she receives recognition from the Government (Kingdom)Verse 8If Saturn is in Aquarius, Sun in the house of wealth (2 nd house), Moon in Aries and Venusin Capricorn, then, father of the native enjoys the pleasures gained from wealth.Verse 9If Venus, Mercury, Jupiter are not in the angular houses (Kendras), and Mars is not in the10 th house, then that native cannot do or achieve anything.Verse 10If at birth, three planets are in their own signs then the native becomes a minister; threeplanets are in exaltation then the native becomes a king; three plants in debilitation then, anative becomes a helper or a servant, and if three planets are combust, then the native isinsignificant.Verse 11If the ascendant has Venus and Mercury and angular houses (Kendras) has Jupiter, andMars in the 10 th house, then, the native brings glory to its family lineage.Verse 12If Jupiter is in the ascendant, Venus and other planets are consecutive from the middle,without a break, then the native helps increase his household.(Translator’s note: The books says “Madhya se Nirantar”- meaning unbroken from the middle – itdoes not give what it means by middle)571

Take the numbercounting that direction from East, take the number of the Prahar in which the question wasasked; take the nakshatra number in which the question was asked, counting from Ashwini;take the number of day counting from Sunday onwards. Add the four numbers and dividethe total by eight. If the remainder is 5 or 1, then work will get done quickly; if remainder is4 or 6, then, work will get done in 3 days; if remainder is 3 or 7 then work will be delayed, ifremainder is 2 or 8 (0), then work will never get done as was asked by the questioner.Verse 2Take the Tithi count, the day count (as counted from Sunday), the nakshatra count and thecount of the sign of the Prashna Ascendant. Add these together and add 3 to the sum.Divide the new Sum by 5. The remainder number shows the different Tattvas (Earth,Water, Fire, Air, and Space) connected to the question. If 1 is the remainder then it denotesthe Earth element, and the lost article is inside the Earth denoted place and will be found. If572

the remainder is 2 then it denotes the Water element, and the lost article has been kept inwater denoted place and will not be found. If 3 is the remainder, then, it denotes the Spaceelement; the lost article is in space denoted place and will not be found. If the remainder is 4,then, it denotes the Fire element, and the lost article is kept in a Fire related place and will befound by the king. If the remainder is 5 (0) then it denotes Air element and the lost article inthis case wouldn’t be found and will also give sorrow to the one who lost it.Questions Relating To PregnancyFrom the Prasna Lagna (the ascendant of t he Question), if Sun, Jupiter and Mars are in the3 rd , 7 th , 9 th or 5 th house, then, the person in question is carrying a boy child. If other planetsare in these houses, then, the person in question is carrying a girl child.Tithi, Day, Nakshatra (constellation), Lagna (ascendant), Prahar (portion of the day) – thecounts of these are added and the sum is divided by 8. If 7 or 3 is the remainder then theobstruction is related to the Devatas; if the remainder is 2 or 8 (0) then the obstruction isfrom the Pitris; if the remainder is 6 or 4, then the obstruction is from Bhoota and if theremainder is 1 or 5, then, there are no obstructions and work is done.573

May The Sage Guide & ProtectChandrashekhar Sharma, from Nagpur,has good knowledge of sanskrit and a wellknown name in the internet forums for hishumbleness & kindness to teach each andeveryone. He has been an ardent student ofthis science from decades with deepthoughts into various disciplines. He is theauthor of the book "Vedic AstrologyDemystified", published by ParimalPublications Delhi ".Bhrigu NadiJyotisham - 1TranslatedByChandrashekhar Sharma, IndiaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeïIçréÉ&gu nafI Jyaeit;m!bhR^igu nADI jyotiSamPage 1 to 5Chandrashekhar’s Comments: The person(Perhaps the Venerated C. S. Patel,himself) who transcribed Bhrigu Nadi hasgiven the details of what he has written574

down in the second page of the transcription, including the source and the number ofverses and when it was copied from the manuscript. The first page has the title “BhriguNadi Jyotisham” as given above. This manuscript was gotten by Saptarishis Astrology fromLate Shri C .S.Patel.Page 2-Comments of the Transcriber:Adyāra Library Shelf no 21/no9Copied on 1 st June 1946One Page of 23 lines = 11 ½ verses. 750 Pages = 8600 verses. Actually ‘8625’ verses are there,according to the transcriber.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: He then proceeds with a form of tabulation that perhapsindicates the lagna and nadis commented upon by the original writer. There is error ofnumbering and the names of some nadis are illegible or do not tally with the names that areallotted to the nadis by other writers. However this difference in names of nadis given in thebeginning of the text and the names appearing in the body of the text is something that oneobserves in diverse nadis. The reason that the names of the Nadis given at the beginning of anadi text in tabular form do not match those in the body of the text, is perhaps due to thehabit of the ancients to use synonyms freely. So, Nāga which can mean an elephant or aCobra could be written as Kunjar (elephant) or Uraga (Divine serpent). This again is whythe interpretation of Sanskrit texts like nadi granthas, other astrological texts in general andother ancient sciences, needs not only literal translation but also quite a bit of effort tounderstand exactly what the author is trying to tell and the principles he is giving and tothen put up the translation after taking other classics of the subject into consideration. Thusthere could be different interpretation of shlokas from purely grammar point of view andfrom the science and allegory point of view. If there are some mistakes in the translation ofBhrigu nadi, below, or the ability to understand what the writer wanted to convey, the blameentirely rests with me and I would call upon the learned to correct me where ever I amwrong.I must admit I was somewhat overwhelmed when I accepted translating this manuscript andon receiving it saw that I was only 4 months and 4 days old when this was copied fromoriginal records of the Oriental Library by the transcriber. By no stretch of imaginationcould I aspire to touch the heights of astrological knowledge achieved by the originaltranscriber of the text. That the manuscript remained un-translated for more than 63 yearsdoes point to the difficulty in translating it. I am translating this in the spirit of trying tobring hidden gems of ancient classics to light, as did the initial transcriber, for the benefit ofmodern day astrologers and trust that I shall be pardoned if I commit some mistakes in thateffort.1 - 322 - 33imwun lm! - za»y¡zm!mithuna lagnam - çäìkaryaàçamtula lm! - p»ja

(however) ifShani (Saturn), occupying Mithuna (Gemini) rasi, in natal chart, in transit comes to end ofVrishabha (Taurus) in the Ketu bhukti or antardasha of the 4 th Mahadasha, his mother suffers somecalamity (Including death), say the wise.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: I think the first word that is missing in the first line of the shloka is“Hibuka” or “Matri”, meaning the 4th bhava. The second part of the 3rd line seems to indicate somecondition when the harm coming to the mother, because of Shani moving to the last part of Vrishabha,is minimized. The Lagna is perhaps Makara lagna when Shani will be aspecting the 8th from 4th (the11th) from Vrishabha rasi and occupying the Maraka, that is 2nd, bhava of the 4th bhava representingthe mother. Ketu will be the lord of the 8th from the 4th (dual lordship). The second shloka seems tosuggest that the shloka is about one born in Sudhā nadi of Makara lagna. I leave it to the learned, tofurther investigate this shloka.

Once thread ceremony is performed the young boy used to go to the Gurukula for formativestudies.

Yet from the few words that are available, I thinkthe above is the import of those shlokas. The next shloka also gives some indication of which grahacould be said to cause this delay in marriagre, when in the 7th and I think it is position of the greatShani which can give somewhat delayed (as compared to twelve years indicated earlier) marriage andwhich can give a wife who is either sick or one doing austerities.- ---------------------ÔaegsmiNvta,%ÖahanNtr< kò< ---------------------.--------------------------------------------- drogasamanvitä |udvähänantaraà kañöaà ----------------------------- ||---------------- êFe ¢haÉave cNÔ va,-----------------------------k>.----------------------- rüòhe grahäbhäve candra vä |-------------------------------------------------------------------kaù ||Should there be no graha occupying --- arudha or Chandra Arudha----------- he suffers after marriageand his wife is sickly.584

Chandrashekhar’s Comments: Now the sage is telling of absence of some graha in Arudha of somebhava or graha or Chandra Arudha. I think the reference is to Saptama or Chandra Arudha. For Makaralagna Cancer is the 7th bhava ruled by Chandra and so I think position of some graha, other than Shaniin either Saptama Arudha or Chandra Arudha is being hinted at for causing some ( perhaps beneficial)modification to the health of wife and the troubles after marriage, when some graha joins such Arudha.ktRrIyaegjatSy }aitzÇuk…lapvan!,siÂtawR ivnazen ¬ez< àaßaeit ÉUirz>.kartaréyogajätasya jïätiçatrukuläpavän |saïcitärtha vinäçena kleçaà präpnoti bhüriçaù ||Jataka subject to Kartari yoga (When there are grahas (malefics) on either side of Lagna) looses hissavings and undergoes much suffereing due to enmity from of his own clansmen or relatives.;aefza ------------------,-r dzasaEOy< ipt&mUlat! suoaixkm!.ñoòaçä ----------------------------------------------------------- |--ra daçäsaukhyaà pitåmülät sukhädhikam ||After his sixteenth year---------- in the dasha of Mangal he gets much happiness due to his father.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: I have taken the partial word “ra” to mean “Aara”, that is Mangal, sinceit is both the lord of the 4th and of the 11th and happens to be lord of the 8th from 9th indicatingancestral property of his father.

For one born in the Sudha amsha of Makara lagna with Malavya yoga, Ketu conjunct Shukra breaksthe Malavya yoga ( its results).Chandrashekhar’s Comments: In my opinion, this is statement of the principle of nodes taking awaythe strength of the bhava and the bhava lord, and is universally applicable, not to just those born inSudha Amsha and Makara lagna. Ketu by its occupation of the kendra owned by Shukra or its rasi ofexaltation, that is Meena (Pisces) Rasi, makes the lord of the bhava weak. It further weakens Shukra byconjoining with it, thus taking away the strength of the Mahapurusha yoga.sTklÇyutae manI ----------------,--------------- lpzu ]eÇsm&iÏman!.satkalatrayuto mäné -------------------------------------- |----------------------------------- lapaçu kñetrasamåddhimän ||He has a good wife, is proud-------------------------------------.-------------------------------------- prosperous with many draught and milch animals and lands.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: I have translated “Pashu” as draught and milch animals, though Pashumeans animals in general, as in an agrarian society like India of yore, the “Pashu” when mentioned inconnection of prosperity, indicated these animals for one with large landholding as an indicator of hiswealth. The classics categorize Horses and Elephants and other animals separately and distinctly asHorses or Elephants.SvÉedæat&mUle àblÂaeÄraeÄrm!,àTyGdaye mhÑaGy< puÇmUlat! --.svabhedabhrätåmüle prabalaïcottarottaram |pratyagdäye mahadbhägyaà putramülät -- ||----------------------- c iïyaixk>,------------------------------------------------- ca çriyädhiakaù |In the 5 th dasha he becomes fortunate through help of his son and due to the help from his stepbrotherand becomes more and more powerful. ______________and_has much wealth.To Be Continued……..588
