book of astrologyi.e.,Brihat ParasaraHora sastra.In thiJshort
trcatisca pcculiarand specificway and lucidity hasbeenadopted
Irr prcscnting the Parasaraprinciples.This short work in a true
pt'rspectiveis the prime and foremostwork for thosewho want
to dive deep into the vast oceanof predictive astrology.
'
Vimsottari Dasa or.Udu Dasa system,which this Laghu
Parasari deals is logical and in vogue since the evorutiofi of
Maharishi Parasara'ssystem in Hindu astrology. -- Tiuly it is in
vogue becauseit has stood to the test of time.
Sanskritis the languagewhich has many different meanings
for the same worcl. There are many commentaries on Laghu
Parasariby illustrious commentators.Due to above peculiaiity
of the Sanskrit language, the work got corrupt with many
discrepancies rather due to misinterpretations of thl
commentators.we have tried hereto stick to the principles strictly
rather than to deviateand viberatewith various commentator's
emphatic interpretations.Many points of contradictions have
been dealt with logically and supporting authorities have been
quoted for the sakeof authenticity and reliability.
Commentaries and views of Pt. Vinayaka Sastri ,Betala,,
Pt Ram Yatna Ojha and Pt. Seeta Ram Jha have been given
weightageas they are upto the mark in understanding Laghu
Parasari.This trio is like Hindu trinity of gods as far ai ta[hu

' Introduction
Man has been curious to know his future since the dawn of
human civilisation and will be keen for the same in future also.
This is more due to his never satisfying nature with his present
conditioning. His hopeslie in astrology and in a broader sense
in the scienceof future which comprisesof astrology,palmistry,
forehead reading etc.Vhrious methods are adopted in astrology
for anticipating the coming events but primary factors like
planets, hbuses and signs more or lessremain the same with all
of them.
This work is primarily concerned with the characteristics
acquired by various planets due to their lordship of. various
houses.Most auspicioushouses are the 1*, 5thand 9tr'houses
which form the vertices of an equilateral triangle. Most
inauspicious houses are the 8th,1l-th,6thand 3'd houses in the
descendingorder.
Basicallyplanetshave inherent beneficand n'raleficnature.
The words iuspicious and inauspicioushave been used in this
commentary oi this work instead of benefic and malefic. The
former are ipecific here for good and bad characteristicsof the
planets due io their house lordships. A natural malefic can be
auspiciousor givesauspiciousresultsduring his Dasaor Bhukti
for teing the iord of an auspicious house. Like wise a natural
benefic ian be inauspicious during his Dasa-Bhukti simply by
owning an inauspicibushouse.The resultstold for the planets
in thislext are different from the results of natal horoscopy. The
results of natal horoscopy are of permanent nature and occur
with more or lessintensiiy through out life. The results described
here are of temporary nature and are limited to Dasa-Bhukti

Indological Truths
 10 Laghu parasari-Jataka Chandrika
periods only. Though results of Rajayoga combinations are
sometimesevident through out life in some measures.
The lords of Trikonas are of the sameelement a.d therefore
are friendly to each other bestowing auspiciousness.Thus they
are consideredauspicious in Dasacontext. The lords of Kendras
form pairs of friendly and unfriendly planets. Though friends,
still they are of opposite nature. Therefore they aie saicl to
suspend their inherent beneficor malefic nature in Dasacontext
and behave as neutrals to form Yogas with Trikona lords.
Maharishi Parasarahas said at length about various types of
Dasas but the great Maharishi has himself concludea tnat
Vimsottari Dasa system is the best among all of them. Though
Astottari, Yogini and KalachakraDasasare also used bv the rank
and fileof astrologers;but vimsottari Dasa is widelyaccepted
one. Maharishi Parasarasays.
Ec+ ftvilrrfr iqr Eyn{qr ffif,r{!
Vimsottari Dasa is supreme in Kaliyuga,
The zodiac is of 360oand every side of an equilateral triangle
formed i' it sweeps 120o.There are2z Naksairas in the zodiac
and 9 Naksatrasfall within 120o.This 120" correspondsto 120
years of Vimsottari Dasai.e.,6 yearsof the Sun; 10 yearsof the
Moory 7 years of Mars; L8 years of Rahu; 16 yearJ of Jupiter;
L9 years of Saturn;17 yearsof Mercury; T year:sof Ketu ana ZO
yearsof VenusDasa.1oof zodiacstandsfor 1 year of Dasa.Some
astrologersusually interpret 120yearsas full longevity of human
being but it is a wrong inference.120years is just the total of the
Dasa years of nine planets. of course in them also fall Maraka
Dasaswhich usually end the life of an individual.
Vimsottari Dasais one such scientificmethod to time good
and bad periods which is based on the principle of trine or
Trikona (Triangle). It was practiceamong ancient Hindu writers
not to talk of the principles but more stress was laid on
applicability considering what is said to be divine.
The Sun is the central star of our planetary system. tf we
start from the Sun, the orbits of various planets are as under :

Indological Truths
Laghu Parasari'JatakaChandrika 11

Sury Mercury, Venus,Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn'

If instead of thesun, we keep earthas the pivotal entity then
the orbital order will be:
Earth, Sun, Moory Mars, )upiter, Saturry Mercury and Venus'
Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets, though in
reality they are simply the intersection poinls gf-ihe.plths of
earth and lhe Moot. These two nodes have their fixed place in
the zodiac. Rahu is the point from where the Moon starts to her
northem course and Ketu is the point from where the Moon starts
to her southern course. Rahu and Ketu thus are the magnetic
point
points which have retrograde motion and arrive at the same
uft"t L8 years.Solar and Lunar eclipsesoccur due to these
"n"ty
two nodei and after every 18 years almost similar ecliPsesoccur.
Due to uniformity of their moiion theseare also the time rectifiers.
Rahu-Ketu pto.rid" important clue to demarcatethe exact path
and location of the Moon. Due to this property, the ancients
included Rahu-Ketu in the Dasa scheme.For being northern
intersection point Rahu finds a place between Mars and Jupiter
and being southern intersection point Ketu is placed between
Mercuryind Venus. The sequenceof Dasasarrived at is :
Sury Moory Mars, Rahu, |upiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and
Venus.
Rahu finds a place after first three planets and Ketu after
next three planets i.e., Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury'
one interesting fact which supportsvimsottari Dasa system
of L20years is, thit, after 120 years, the Sun and the Moon are
again on the sameNaksatra and the lunar date is again t\e same
#it *ur 120 years back. In this way Vimsottari Dasa is Trikona
(trine) Dasa of lunar mansions. Whatever may F Naksatra of
iirth r2o years of Dasa end at the 9ft Naksatra from the birth
Naksatra.
For calculation purposeswe start from Aswini Naksatra and
finish up at Aslesacovering 9 Naksatras. This is the first cycle
involving 120 years.The 2dcycle starts at Magha Naksatra and
finishes it lyurtu Naksatra.similarly the 3'dcycle starts at Moola
Naksatra and finishes at Revati Naksatra.

The allotment of Dasayearsto various planets is due to their
practical visibility in the ecliptic. The planets are actually visible
in the sky in the sameNaksatra or in trine to it again at the expiry
of their Dasayears.For example if Mars is visible now in Aswini
Naksatra then after 7 years,he will be visible again in Moola i.e.,
exactly in trine to his basic position. Geometrically some of the
planets are at the same longitude while others are in trine to it
after the expiry of their alloted Dasa years. This is for their
practical visibility. Thus we seethat Dasa years are dependent
on the practicalvisibility of the planetagain at the samelongitude
or in trine to the sameor trinal Naksatra. This also supports that
Vimsottari Dasa system is a Tiikona Naksatra Dasasystem.

worthy consort of Brahma i.e., God Brahma gets strength from
Goddess saraswati. saraswati is the Goddess of all ieligious

It is for this reason that great philosopher-saintSri Adi
sankaracharyafounded a temple of sri sarada (saraswati) at
Sringagiri,so that peoplecan dispel theirAvidya (ignorance)by
worshipping the great Goddess.Many of his Mutths (monastriei)
too are knowrr asSaradaMutths. According to Hindu philosophy,
Brahman is the root cause of the universe. That alone is true,
unchangeable,the causeof creation,protectionand destruction.

Notes - UdudayaPradeepa seemsto be the name assigned
to this text by the author of this work. Udu meansstar,Naksatra
or constellationwhile Daya meansDasaor the period. Thus the
name implies a lamp clarifying and enlightening the readerswith
the principles of Ududasa systemor Vimsottari Dasa systemof
Maharishi Parasara.As the author followed the principles of
Parasari Hora therefore this short work became famous as
Laghu Parasariafter the name of Maharishi Parasara.
There existed a vast literature on astrology in the form of
works called Horas and Samhitaslike-
1. SkandaHora,2. SaunakaHora,3. Brihat PrajapatyaHora,
4. Manittha Hora, 5. Kaushika Hora,6. SatyaSamhita,T. Brihat
ParasaraHora, 8. Garga Hora etc. The existenceof theseFloras
is mentioned in the commentaries of Bhattotpala and other
commentators.ParasaraHora was held inhigh esteemin ancient
times and somerecensionsof this Hora areavailableeven today.
According to verse tR-d c{Rrfr Qdl Parasari Hora is further
acclaimed to be suitable for prediction purposes in Kaliyuga.
This is particularly true for Vimsottari Dasa system out of the
various Dasa systemsmentioned there in.
The author seemsto elaborateDasaprinciples exhaustively

and followers. And this small work has stood to the test truly in

We clescribehere how to know future trends following the
Naksatra Dasa system.Through out this work principles relate
to Vimsottari Dasa and not to Astottari Dasa.
Notes-Various kinds of Dasas are found mentioned in
ParasaraHora and other ancient treatises,viz; Vimsottari,
Astottari, Kalachakra,etc.to mention a few.

SomeDasasare basedupon stars (reckoning from birth star),

Astottari is alsoa kind of NaksatraDasa,but the author cautions
us not to usethe principlesenunciateclltcre in contextof Astottari

A note on the calculationsof Vimsottari Dasa-
Divide the birth Naksatra by 9 counting from Krittika
Naksatra(excludingAbhijit Naksatra).The numberasremainder
signifies,the Dasa falling at birth, in the following order-
Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu,Jupiter,Saturn, Mercury,Ketu and
Venus.In short we can take as.
S, M, Ma, Ra, Ju, Sa, Me, Ke, V.

For this sequence there is a reasoning which we have

discussedin introduction briefly. The first sequencein the table
below starts from Krittika Naksatra which is ruled by the Sun
and ends at Poorva Phalguni ruled by Venus,means,if the Moon
is in Krittika at birth, the Dasa at birth is of the sun. Following

Example- Supposethe Moon is just enteringChitra Naksatra

at birth, then the native will have a balanceof 7 years of lvtrars's
Dasa at birth. But such would not be the case always, if it
occupies, some intermediate degree then the balance of Dasa
has to be calculated by the method of proportions. SuPposethe
Moon has covered 3o-20'in Chitra Nakshatra, the balance of
Mars'sDasaatbirthwouldbe 5years and3 months.Theformula
for calculating Dasa balanceis :
DasaBalance=@ x Dasayrs.of Naksatralord.
(13'-20)

Again, as an examPle,suPPosethe Moon's longitude is 46o

at birth. Then she is in Rohini Nakshatra ruled by the Moon.
Rohini extends from 40oto 53o-20oi.e. the Moon is yet to traverse
7o-20'in Rohini.
Degreesyet to be traversed in Rohini = (53o-20'- 46")
=70 -20' = M0'
But 13o-20'=800'
.'. From the formula, the Moon's Dasabalance at birth
= x 10 years = 5 years, 5 months.

Calculations of Bhukti periods
Suppose we want the Bhukti Period of planet B in the Dasa
of planet A. The formula is :

and so on upto the Sun'sBhukti:
Now for calculatingthe Bhukti at birth, the Moon hasalready
crossed(10years- 5 year and 6 months) i.e.4 yearsand 6 months
remain as balance.The total of Bhuktis upto Jupiter's Bhukti
above is 4 years and 3 months. This means that the native has
experienced3monthsof Saturn'sBhukti alsointheMoon's Dasa.
In other words the native born is running the Dasa of the
Moonwith a balanceof 4 yearsand 6 months including a balance
of 1. year and 4 months of Saturn's Bhukti. Bhuktis yet to be
followed in the Moon's Dasa will be of Mercury, Ketu, Venus
and the Sun to be calculated as above.
Similarly, Pratyantar Dasacan be calculated ih each Bhukti.
For more elaboration on Dasa calculations readers may go
through our "Secretsof Vimsottari Dasa".
The years and months calculated above are based on solar
year therefore it is necessaryto adjust the Dasas and Bhuktis
with the dates of the solar year or in consonancewith the Sun's
degrees of birth. Phala Deepika (19/4) is very clear in this
respect-

For this reason astrologersadd degreesetc. of the birth Sun
to the Dasabalancesat birth to arrive at degreesof the Sun at the
end of the Dasaor degreesof the Sun at the next Dasa or Bhukti's
begirrning.English datesare almost equivalentto solar motion
in this respect and Dasa commencing and ending may be
representedin English dates.Readersshould avoid falling into
controversy of 30-31days but can do well by adjusting or writing
the English datesaccordingto the Sun's degrees.

About General Know How-

Followers of Parasari system can get proficiency regarding
planets and twelve housesfrom other works based on Parasari
systern. From here onwards we are going to depict
nomenclatures,technicalterms and principles which are peculiar
to Naksatra Dasa system (Vimsottari Dasasystem) according to
ParasaraHora Sastra.
Notes-The author by the wordgffi seemsto declarethat
this work is not for new entrants in the field of astrology but
supposesthat his readershave knowledge about houses,planets,
signs and other details available in other standard works on
astrologylike Brihatfataka, Phala Deepika,JatakaParijata and
Brihat ParasaraHora Sasha etc. All theseworks are available
from 1\4/sRanjan Publications. Some of the topics which are to
be learnt from thesework are : 1. Housesand their significations,
2. Nature of the signs,3. Planetsand their nature,4. Vargaslike
Navamsa,Drekkana, Hora, Trimsamsaetc.,5. Chandra Yogas,
6. Rajayogas,7. Stri Jatakaor FemaleHoroscopy,8. Ayurdaya or
longevity etc. Somegeneralindications of various housesare:
1. The 1't house representsphysical body and strength,
happinessand sorrows, contours, complexion, character
etc.

Indological Truths
20 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika
2. The 2"d house represents face, speech, wealth and
possessions,right eye,Maraka effectsetc.
3. The 3'd house representscourage, mental inclinations,
coborns,short journeys,ear etc.
4. The 4ft house representsmother, happiness,conveyanges,
house,landed propertiesetc.
5. The 5th house represents intelligence, Atman and
subconciousmotivation, children, merits etc.
6. The 5h houserePresentsenemies,theft, debts,diseases,cuts
and wounds, miseries, disappointment etc.
7. The 7ft house representssPouse,marriage, trade, travel,
blame, impediments, Maraka effects etc.
8. The 8ft house representslongevity, death and its cause,
insult, sorrows, impediments,chronic illnesses,legacies,
wills, goods of the dead etc.
9. The 9fthouseindicatescharities,goodliness,righteousness,
preceptor, grand childrery religion, father, long journeys
etc.
L0. The L0thhouse indicates profession,rank, honour' success,
meansof livelihood, day to day activitiesetc.
11. The L1hhouseindicatesgains,elder brother,friends, Soup
associatesetc.
L2. The 12th houseindicatesexpenditures,misery,loss,waste
etc.
Similarly, an astrologer should be well versed in the
knowledge of ownership of the signs,quadruplicity and triplicity
of signs,masculinity and feminity of signs,directionsrepesented
by the signs, Badhaka-sthanasfor movable, fixed and common
sig.rt us the Lagna, Karkatwas of planets, planets as Karakas
of various houses, bad houses,planetary stateslike Deepta,
Mudita etc. The knowledge of Panchangaor ephemeris is very
essential.
The author wants his readersto use the aboveknowledge in
this work too, but the auspiciousand inauspicious nature of

Indological Truthsifrt
Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika 21
planets differ here from their natural beneficand malefic nature.
A cruel planet in normal course may become an auspicious
in this work under certain conditions. Similarly,a cruel or malefic
planet's aspect may be for the good under the conditions.
Here is where Dasa-Bhukti predictions differ from general
predictions for a nativity. The cruelity and gentlenessof the
planets will have to be decided according the principles laid
down in this work.
Man's character,family conditions, status, authority fall
under the domain of general prediction which by and large
depend on the natural characteristicsof signs and planets and
their relations among themselves and the peculiar conditions
mentioned above.A man has to struggle in this world to pregerve
his rights and status, and to achieve something worth while
further. During the course, he finds opportunities, when he
effortlessly advancesand other times inspite of his best efforts,
he doesnot succeedin his endeavoursand suffersset back. It is
this Dasa system which can guide a person,for which time is
favourable and which one is unfavourable. Astrologers have
devised many kinds of Dasa systems according to the best of
their knowledge and wisdom, for one to be aware of conducive
and inconducive times ahead,out of them Udu dasa system or
. Vimsottari Dasa systemis the best and applicableat all times.
The natal planets in a nativity bestow good or bad results
accordingto their strength,placementand otherwise,which are
the permanent results for a nativity. The same planets by their
motion in transits and in their Dasasdepict the favourable and
unfavourable times, the predictions can only be said to be
completewhen we arrive at theresultant effectsto be produced
by the natal significationsof planetsand Dasaperiods.For more
conveniencewe can include the transit of planetsalso.Therefore
the author stressesherethat while predicting by Vimsottari Dasa
system,the astrologershould also keep in mind Bhava or house
results.
In Naksatra Dasasystemor Vimsottari Dasasystem planets
are termed auspiciousor inauspiciousor evil according to their

Indological Truths
22 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika
house or Bhavalordships e.g.,in Vimsottari Dasasystemthe Ll.th
lord is termed inauspicious but it does not mean that he will
always be bad for income. An exalted planet in the 11th house or
its lord in exaltation produces a Yoga for much income but the
11ft lord will not produce good resultsin his Dasaparticularly or
will produce evil results,unlesshe is associatedwith the lord of a
trine or Trikona house. In this way we have to proceedfor Dasa
results. The Bhava or house results are the permanent results
occuringalways,while the Dasaresultsaretemporaryand pertain
to good or bad for the tirne being.Dasaresults are indicative only
of the conduciveor irconducivetimesduring the Dasa.
In Dasa system, it is only Rasisor signs which are vital and
we do not have to follow Chalit chart or Bhava chart. If Cancer
rises at birth then Leo will be on the 2"dhouse, Virgo on the 3rd
and Libra on the 4'h and so on. In Dasa system all planets will
have to get somehouse lordship compulsorily.In a Bhavachart
it sometimeshappens that a sign may extend to two house cusPs
while the other sign may not fall even on a single house cusP'
These divisions are man made and are not to be found in the
heaven. Therefore our Maharishis did not acknowledge it.

Now, what is specialabout the specialaspects?Saturn is the
planet of labour and manual work. The 3'd being the house

with manual work do produce somethingworth while. The L0th

a tripod of housesis formed which are most potent in the chart
according to the inherent nature and strength of Jupiter for that

Mars being the war lord or the lord of deathhas got full aspect

In this work only full aspectsincluding the special aspects

keepshis body under control is calleda saint due to his virtues.
The Lagna denotes the body, therefore the lord of Lagna is
auspiciousunder all conditions.The 5thhouse is the house of
Poorvapunyaor merits acquireddue to deedsof one'sprevious

If a person acquires income all the time or be excessively
strong and valorous or be an enemy, then though he being a
noble inherently, turns out to be an evil person. The lords of the
3nr,6rth and lLthhousesdenoteabovecharacteristics. Thereforeit
is natural for the lords of thesehouses to be endowed with these
characteristicsthough they may be natural benefics.
Sajjanaranjani-a commentaryon Laghu Parasarigivesfew
excepfi,onsregarding the lords of the Jrd,(,thand LLthhouses-
(i) If the lords of the Jrd,(,thand L1thhousesoccupy thesevery
houses as owners respectivel/, they produce good. We
know that the 3'd, 6'h, 10th and lLth houses are
Upachayasthanas(or housesof income)and maleficsalso
do some good natally when being placed in thesehouses.
But as far as the Lagna is concerned,in relation to them,
the evil nature of the planets might continue.
(ii) A planet is Swasthawhen occupieshis own house or sign.
Pliata Deepika ascribesgood results in the Dasa of a
Swasthaplanet.
It will be wise to weigh and considerthe pros and consof
the rules and their exceptions before arriving at final
conclusion.
(iii) Virgo is termed as own sign of Rahu, and therefore if Virgo
falls at the cusp of the Sthor 9thhouse, Rahu becomes a
benefic being owner of a Trikona house.
Thesespecialpoints are,however not found in other classics
and thereforetheir acceptibilityis open to doubt.
Every planet exceptthe Sun and the Moon owns two signs;
otr" e.ret and the other odd. Out of the twelve houses of a
horoscope,six are evenand the remaing six are odd. The Trikonas

28 LaghuParasari-Jataka
Chandrika
i.e. the 1st sthand 9'hhousesare odd when the Lagna is an odd
sign. If the Lagna is even, then even signs are identical to the 5th
and 9thhouses.Thus Tiikona lords can never be the 3'dand l.L,n
house lords.
In the Sloka it (sR) word has been used in the context of
evils of Tiishadayadhisasi.e.the lords of the 3d, 6mand 1Lfthouses
then the meaning of the Slokawould be"If. in a horoscopeall the
Trishadayalords be evil then all the Tiikona lords be auspicious".
qR word is not to be interpreted that way.

The correctinterpretation of ?R word would be "The Trikona

lord is auspiciousbut if he happensto be a Tiishadayalord (6th
lord) then such a Trikona lord is not fully auspicious but is a
blemished auspiciousplanet". The auspiciousnessof the Trikona
lord lies in the fact that he should not be the 5th lord. A Trikona
lord can never be the 3rd or llth lord has been discussedearlier
here. The auspiciousnessor inauspiciousnessof the Trikona or
Trishadayalords here is only valid till they are not related to
other houselords. \A/hatwill be the results if thesetwo are related

in the following order.
A benefic Tiikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6m
or 8thhouse at the same time should be treated as somewhat
auspicious.
A malefic Trikona lord if he happens to be the lord of the 6th

or 8thhouse at the same time then he should be treated as
somewhat inauspicious.

Characteristicsof the Lords of Kendras-

q frvrFilW lulr *tqr: ffiqr: qRt

If beneficsplanets are the lords of Kendras (quadrants), they

do not yield good results.If malefic planetsown Kendras, they
do not yield bad results.
Trikona lords i.e.,the lords of the 1",5\ and 9e housesbecome
stronger increasingly. Tiishadaya lords i.e., the lords of the 3d,
6thand L1thhouses also observe or follow the same trend.
Notes-In the preceding sloka we studied the nature of
Tiikona and Tiishadaya lords. Here the nature of the lords of
Kendras is being told.
Natural malefics are the Sun, Saturn and Mars. Natural
beneficsare Jupiter, Venus,Mercury and the Moon. Beneficsby
owning quadrants do not yield good results.But it doesnot mean
they becomeinauspicious,rather they losetheir beneficenceand
behave as neutrals.
Similarly,natural maleficsby owning quadrantsor Kendrasdo
not yield evil results.But it doesnot meanthey becomeauspicious,
rather they losetheir maleficenceand behaveas neutrals.
The weak Moon and malefic associatedMercury are termed
similar to malefics by somecommentators'They term the strong
Moon and Mercury (aloneor combined with benefics)as benefics
and quote authorities like Brihat fataka in their support, It would
not be out of place to mention that the Moon is weak from the 8'h
day of dark half or Krisna Paksato the 76 day of the bright half
or Sukla Paksa.
Again, are we to include the tagna in Kendras or not ?
Differencesof opinion ponder over this. Earlier it was pointed
out that Sri VinayakaSastriexcludesthe Lagna from Tiikonas at
one place but at a later placehe includesthe Lagna in tikonas.

i.e.,the 4th,7th
According to Pt. Sita Ram jha, earlierly the characteristicsof
tikonas were told, therefore the Lagna being included in that
schemeof planets,here we remain concernedwith the 4th,7th
and LOthhousesas Kendra houses.He quotes further :

One who is endowed with all kinds of comforts, kingdom
and beautiful women forgets his own nature, for the mind being
engaged in these comforts. This is a common feature in this
material world. The above comforts are denoted by the 4th,1g't'
and 7thhouses.It is therefore quite understandable and natural
for the lords of thesehousesto forget their own inherent nature.
The part of the sloka suggeststhat the houses
or house lords of the samecharacterbecomestrongerthan the
previous one as they comelater i.e.,the L't, 4'n,7hand 10thhouses
and their lords becomestrongerin the ascendingorder.So does
the 1."t,5'hand 9thhousesand their lords. So also the 3'd,6thand
1l.tr'housesand their lords becomestronger in the ascending
order. This is in respect of their qualities to do good or evil in
Dasacontext.
Another important point of differenceof opinion on the part
of Pt. VinayakaSastriis thus-lf the lords of the 3'd,6'r'orlLth
housesare benefics,they will not lose their auspiciousnature.
He writes ttcntkt: {qHi ffi ggl-qrrd{rr€' r gfrrfq-dl

Kendras. Such interpretations are totally at variance with thosc
of others and may presentcertain difficulties in the interpretation
of Slokas relating the effectsof the lords of houses for certain
ascendants.Theseare the areaswhichrequire certain amount of
researchand elaboration.
In the earlier Sloka to this we were told that a tishadaya
lord be'hea natural beneficor malefic works for the evil in Dasa
context and a planet becomesauspiciousb! owning Trikona
house. The author in this sloka tells about the way a lord of
Kendra behaves.If natural beneficsbe Kendralords then to give
auspicious results, they should also be lords of Tiikonas. So is
also the casewhen natural malefics becomelords of quadrants.
If Kendra or quadrant lords are to becomeevil, they should own
Trishadaya houses i.e., the 3'0,6ft and 1lft houses additiorially.
Auspiciousnessor inauspiciousnessof a planet is not causedjust
due to ownership of a Kendra. The word ztR here implies that
no planet causesgood or evil simply by owning a Kendra. The
12th sloka of the text denotes-Eqs s-ftild Tgffir {sr*rfc*lt
ffi @ q qtftrrqgd:lt ForKarka orCancerlagna,natural
malefic Mars becomesthe 10thlord and is supposed to be
auspiciousin Dasa contextfor not being a Kendra lord but due
to his lordship of the Sthhouse,a tikona. To show the inertness
of Kendra lord to do good or evil, the above Sloka has been
put in the text and confirms that a Kendra lord is neither for
the good nor for the evil.
The Lagna is the primary Tiikona as well as Kendra. It is
therefore, the Lagna lord (a Kendra lord) becomesauspicious by
owning Lagna as Trikona only. But if he also owns the 6s, a
Trishadaya house, he produces evil. Mars owns Scorpio Lagna,
his evil is less than Mars (the 6ft and 11slord) of Gemini Lagna
where he is twice evil. Evil of ScorpioLagna'sMars is even less
than Saturn (the 6th and 7th lord) of Leo Lagna, for Mars also
owns a Trikona, the Lagna. The Lagna lord being lord of Kendra
and Trikona becomesRajayogakarakaor greatly auspicious.
Mercury is Rajayogakarakafor Gemini and Virgo Lagnas. So is

32 Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika

)upiter for Sagittarius and PiscesLagnas. The auspiciousnessis

becausea Kendra lord alsoowns a Tiikona i.e.,the Lagna.
The 4th,7thand 1,0thhousesare Kendra houses,the Sun and
the Moon ownining these become neutrals and become
auspiciousby owning the 4th Kendra,the Lagnaonly becauseit
is also a Trikona. The 7'hhouse is the 3rd Kendra and according
to the text it is a Maraka or death inflicting house and its lord is
calleda Maraka.AnaturalbeneficbecomingaMarakaby owning
the 7th house is not good. The 7thhouse being an odd house,
therefore none of its lord can be a Trikona lord and henceits lord
cannot be auspicious. The 7'h lord can only be 6'h lord
(he cannot own the odd 3'dor Ll,thhouse) and hence he is evil.
The 7thlord can also be the 8'hlord, then he is dreadful. The 7th
lord Saturn can only be the 6thor 8h lord and no other 7s lord can
own a Trishadayaor Tiikona house. Saturn is the only planet
who can become the 6thor 8'hlord being the 7th lord. Therefore
excepting Saturn all the planets being lords of the 7thhouse
remain neutral. But as Marakas the benefics as the lords of the
7thare inauspicious.It will be explained ahead.
For Scorpio Lagna Saturn is neutral being the 4thlord but
resultantlyinauspiciousby owning the 3d housealso.In contrast
Venus is more malefic for CancerLagna as he owns the 4thand
L1h house and according to r-dcTt{dftdq Ll"thlord is more evil
than the 3rd lord. For Leo Lagna Saturn lording the 6th and 7th
is more evil than Venus who lords the 10th and 3rd houses. For
Gemini Lagna Mars owning the 6th and Llth houses is deadly
evil. Similarly Mercury for ScorpioLagna is twice evil if he does
not occupy the 8th house.The 8th lord in the 8th eradicatesthe
evils of the 8th lordship, it will be discussedlater.
Saturn is more auspiciousfor Taurus Lagna than for Libra
Lagna as he lords the strongestKendra, the L0thhouse and the
strongestTiikona the 9'hhousefor TaurusLagna;the 9thand 10th
lord is stronger than the 4'hand 5'hlord. For Leo Lagna, Venus
and Saturnboth own Kendrasand Trishadayasbut Venusowns
the 3"r house while Saturn owns the 6'h house besides both

Indological Truths
Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika 33

owning Kendras. Due to ownership of Kendras both become

neutral but the 6'h house being more evil than the 3'd house,
thereforeSaturn is more evil of the two. For ScorpioLagna Saturn
is more evil than Mars. The reasonis that Mars though owning a
strongerTrishadayais alsothe lord of a Tiikona (the Lagna) which
considerably reducesthe evil of the 6'hhousebut Saturn is purely
a Trishadaya (the 3'd)lord and neutral being the 4thhouse lord.
An evil Ti'ikona lord is always less malefic than an evil Kendra
lord. For CancerLagna Jupiter is certainly lessinauspicious than
Venus and Saturn. Similarly for Capricorn Lagna Mars is more
evil than Mercury.
Before arriving at the final judgement, the position of the
concerned planet i.e., debilitation, inimical or friendly house
placement,exaltationetc.has to be seen.This is very important
as this book professesto teachthe additional points peculiar to
Parasarasystem. As was pointed out *+r; qFil-;zrvn€Td:,the
principles of other works should be understood and must be
augmented by the principles propounded in this book. Astrology
is a vast ocean and a number of works have to be learnt for
acquiring proficiency, as Varaha Mihira says:
s[ifi-6t{?rdn; ffigP1-6]fi4q; I
wrd-av-{: |vgl.d qgrfd qril.o-*.
Also, the study of classicalworks must be supplementedby
patient research and experience.The grace of God and
preceptor'sblessingsessentiallypave the way for making precise
predictions.
Numerical evaluation of the planets owing various houses-
This method was advocatedby Pandit Ram Yatna Ojha the
author of Phalit Vikas. Sri Ojha was a bold and erudite scholar
of astrology,who bravely criticised even Varaha Mihira in his
Phalit Vikasfor adopting the systemof Yavana'sdivisional charts
prevalentnow having setasideour own ancientsystem.He was

, Notes-So far we have discusssedthe nature of the lords of
Kendras and Tiikonas. The nature of the lords of the 2nd and
12th houses is being discussedin this Sloka. These two houses
are adjacentto the Lagna,2nd is just after it and 12th immediately
preceding it. The natures or characteristicsof these two house
lords are to be decided by their associationsand the houses
identical with their other signs.
If the planets are placed in friendly signs, exaltations etc
they produce good. If they are in good planetary states like
Deepta or Mudita etc they produce good othewise bad. As is

auspicious. This implies that the 8th lord, if happe-nsto be the
lord of a Tiikona at the sametime he is auspicious.If he happens
to be Trishadaya lord at the same time then he is particularly
inauspicious.Ii he is not the lord of any other house then he is
simply inauspicious.It is due to this that the Sun and the Moon
are not supposed to be so inauspicious as the 8th lords.

If fortune is strong, every kind of happinessis easily attained.

that a separateSlokais inducted.It is like this, if the Randhresha
or 8thlord is also the Lagna lord and he be in the Lagna or the
'Sthhouse
then only he is endowed with the property to bestow
auspiciousnessas he then strengthensthesetwo houses.This
also suggestsabout the importanceof the positioning of the 8'h
lord. If he is positioned in atry other house than the L't or 8th
house, then he is not auspiciousbut destroysthe significations
of that house becausethe evil of be.ingthe 8th lord is in much
greater play than the auspiciousrress of Lagna lord (a weak
Trikona) and this has been experiencecl practically.
Thus, if the same1't ancl8'r'lorclbeing in the Lagna (Kendra-

greatly auspicious (Karaka)otherwise he singly placed is
auspiciousonly. If the 8thlorcl being also a Trishadayalord be
relatedto a Trikona lord elsewherethan tl-re8thhouse,he and the
Tiikona lords both cannot be Yogaproductive or cannot bestow
auspiciousness. The 8tr'lord,if he is not in the 8this certainly evil.
For Gemini Lagna, Saturn being the 9'hlord also becomes
the 8tr'lord, thereforehe getsendowed with property of loss of
Bhagya or fortune, if he is relatedto the 10mlord Jupiter he cannot
be a Karaka. In the next sloka there is a corollary to this Sloka

None of the malefics i.e., the Sun, Mars and Satut'n can

Whatever blemish ]upiter or Mercury acquire for being the

If the 7thand Trikona lords are related then in Trikona lord's
Dasaand 7thlord's Bhukti Rajayogaor greatly auspiciousresults
are experienced but in the end one has to experience Maraka
results also.For example, if for an Aries Lagna native the 2"dand

end of Venus's Bhukti in Jupiter's Dasa there will be Maraka
results. Venus is double Marakesahere.
The last part of the Sloka 11 tells that the blemish of being
the 8thlord does not imply to the Sun and the Moon. Much has
been said about this under the noteson Sloka 9.
Generalising the discussionon Sloka 10-1Lwe can conclude
thus-
(i) If the benefics owning Kendras are in their own signs, in
Kendrasthey bestow auspiciousresults.
(ii) If the benefics owning Kendras are also Maraka-sthana
lords and occupy Maraka-sthanasthey give intenseMaraka
results.
(iit) If the benefics owning Kendras are in auspicious houses
i.e,, the L"t,the 5ft or 9s and are related to their lords, then
. they are Yogaproducing and bestow great auspiciousness.
alongwith some Maraka results.
(i") If Kendra lords are in inauspicious houses then they give
inauspiciousresults.
(v) If the benefic7h lord (Kendradhipati) is relatedto a Trikona
lord he bestowsYogaor auspiciousresults in the beginning
of hisBhukti orAntardasabut in the end givesMarakaresults.
Some say that benefics by owning quadrants become
Papa or evil. If benefics would have been defective or evil by
owning any of the Kendras then how the Lagna lord would
have bestowed good results even by owning the most
inauspicious8h house.Then all the exercisedone abovewould
have been a waste. Therefore the logical interpretation is that
benefics Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon become severe
Marakas by owning the 7thhouse (a Kendra) and their intensity
to bestow Maraka results is in the descendingorder i.e., Jupiter

On Yogakarakatwa of Planets-

Mars (a malefic) does not give auspicious results simply by
owning the LOthhouse (a Kendra). Being a Kendra lord he
becomesneutral. If he becomesa Tiikona lord at the same time,
only then he is capableof bestowing auspiciousness.
Notes-PreviouslY it was said :

Natural malefics as lords of the Kendras will not produce
evil. By that are we to infer that they will produce good results?
No, says the author, illustrating this by way of an example.
Mars owns the 10thhouse in casesof Cancer and Aquarius
Lagnas.In the caseof Cancerlagna,he additionally owns the 5th
house, a Tiikona. Thereforehe is declaredextremely auspicious
as Rajayogakaraka.Again it is said:

neutral and Maraka. The aspect of Mars the 6thlord over the
Moon put him under debts but the aspect of Jupiter kept his
moral high. In Mars Dasa he shifted his industry to a different
far off place.He is likely to rise now as Mars though a Tiishadaya
lord is in his own houseand getsthe thurst from Venus,a Tiikona
lord and,saturn again a Trikona lord but also the 8thlord. So
in Mars Dasa he will succeedand progress further after many
obstacles.

TtrdFdrfr t,,
The dark planets, Rahu and Ketu strongly give the results of
the houses they occupy or the houses owned by the planets
conjunct with them.
Notes-The shadowy planets(i.e.,the nodes),Rahu and Ketu
do not own any sign independently, they are indeed very strong
and should not be ignored thoughVaraha Mihira and afew other
Acharyas have not given their results in detail. Natally their
results can be understood from texts like ParasaraHorE Jataka
Pariiata, Phala Deepika etc.For results of their Dasasaccording
to this text this separateSloka is inducted.
ThehousesoccupiedbyRahu and Ketu shouldbeascertained
first as auspicious or inauspicious. Rahu and Ketu will act
according to this quality of the house,if they solitarily occupy it.
Inan auspicioushousethey will produce auspiciousresultswhile
in an inauspicious, the contrary.They will be neutral in the 2nd,
12rh,4h,7thand 10s houses.In the lst sthand 96 they will be
auspicious. In the 8ft they will be extremely evil. In the 3'd, 6ft
and 11ft they will be inauspicious. These will be the results if
they alone are present in thesehouses.
Rahu and Ketu also give the results of the planet they are
conjoined to. Firstly ascertain the auspiciousness and
inauspiciousnessof the planet due to his ownership' They will
bestow results according to this characteristicof the planet.

The reasonbehind is :

They are termed yqd or strong becausethey are capable of
eclipsing even the visible gods like the Sun and the Moon. They
do not hlve their own results as they do not have their orbs due
to non illumination, rather much depends uPon the house they
occupy. They are the points of intersection of the Moon's track

Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika 51
with the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the Sun). Thus they are
the megnetic points capableof attracting the results of the house
occupied by them and the planet conjunct to them.
One more fact that is worth noting and hasbeen experienced
in practiceis that Rahu-Ketualso give to someextent results of
the planets aspectingthem. The a.rthor of the text seemsto have
included it in the conjunction.
Example - In the chart below the Lagna is Taurus, Rahu is in
the 9n housein Saturn'ssign.It is conjunctto the Sun and Mercury

The relation between the lords of Kendras and Trikonas is
known as Yoga. Yoga means mutual relation for excessof
auspicious results. If related Kendra and Trikona lords are
unrelated to any inauspiciouslord and they themselvesdo not
own inauspicioushouse then auspiciousresultsare manifold.
Notes-This chapter is named Yogadhyayaand deals with
specialcombinationsof planetscapableof producing extremely
auspicious results. Such chapters are common features with
almost every text book on Hindu astrology and there the Yogas
go by special names as Nabhasa Yogas, Rajayogas,Pancha

But the treatment of Yogasin this text is a special feature of

In an Aries Lagna chart the 9'h and 12h lord Jupiter is not

Saturn's Pratyantara will be far more auspicious than the
results of Jupiter's Dasa, Mars's Bhukti and Saturn's
Pratyantara.The three planets are samebut the difference lies
in the fact that Mars, the Dasa lord and Rajayogakaraka is
not related with Saturn.

different interpretationsfor strong planetsand quote the Sloka:
erctr=qs@t

A planet in exaltation, Moolatrikona, own sign, strong in
shadavargais termedas strongand this is true but we are talking
of special rules according to this text, therefore the terms
auspicious,inauspicious,blemished,unblemished, strong and
weak etc. will have to be adopted according to the rules laid
down in this text as well as otherwise. Therefore according to
Sloka 7 of the text, the LOshouse is strongestamongst the Kendra
lords. In this Sloka 17 for dq+erg sm we shall have to take
strong L0thhouse lord. In this chapter Rajayogadhaya, to
summarise, what has been said about auspicious results is :
Sloka 14-If the Kendra and Tiikona lords are related and
do not own the Trishadava or the 3'd,6thand l"1thhouses then

Indological Truths
70 Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika
they bestow Rajayogaor geatly auspiciousresults.
Sloka 15- If the Kendra and Tiikona lords be blemished then
also bestow auspiciousresults,if they are related.But here only
one planet should be blemishedas one can mend or eradicate
the blemish of the other. If both are blemished no Rajayoga
'strong'
results.In this Slokaqffi or hasbeenusedasan adjective
to Kendra and Trikona lords i.e.,the strong Kendra and Tiikona
lords, which are the 9thand L0thhouselords.

DiscussingunblemishedKendra and Trikona lords in Sloka
14 and the blemished9'hand 10'hlords in Sloka 15 and Kshetra
or houserelationsof the 9thand 1,0'hhouselords in Sloka 16,the
author of the text wraps up the remaining relations of the Kendra
and Tiikona lords in this Sloka 17 of the text.
To generalisethe meaning of the sloka is like this-
(i) If the 10thhouse lord is relatedto any of the Trikona lords
then suchrelationshipproducesgreatly auspiciousresults
or
(ii) if any of the Kendra lord either blemishedor otherwiseis
relatedto the strongesttikona lord then alsosuchrelationship
is productiveof greatly auspiciousresultsor Yogakarakatwa.
Now we suppose,if the lords we are discussingbe debilitated
weak by si6n or otherwise, the Yogawill be very weak. It seems
that the word qffi also includes such inherent or natural
strengths of the planets involved.
The relationsbetweenthe Kendraand Trikonalordshavebeen
discusseddirectlyor indirectlyin theearlierSlokas.ThisSlokahas
beeninductedsimply to add that the9'hand 10'hlords should also
be strongotherwisei.e.,by placement,occupation,Vargasetc.
This 17'hSlokalaysimpetuson the factwhen thebestRajayoga
is caused?It is causedwhen the 10s lord and a Trikonalord are
related or the 9thlord and a Kendra lord are related.If one or both

Indological Truths

of them are exalted then it is best, if in own sign, a little lessthan
bestand if in a friendly sign then further little lessand so on.
Example- In an Aries Lagnachart the 9thand 7thhouselords
respectivelyare Jupiter and Venus.Jupiter is also the 12thlord,
Venus is also the 2ndlord. Though Jupiter being the 9thlord is
unblemished but as 12thlord he acquiresblemish through
conjunction or occupation. Therefore by being conjunct with
Venus a Maraka, Jupiter acquires Maraka property due to
conjunctionas L2'hlord. Venusis also blemishedbeing a Kendra
lord. Hence the Yoga or combination formed by conjunction of
Venusand Jupiter is futile as both are blemished.
Similarly, we can work out effective and ineffective
combinations of Kendra and Trikona lords in the ligf;t of
guidelinesoffered by the text.
Let us examine a few more horoscopes-

The auspicious or Yoga results occur during the Dasa and
Bhukti of two Yogakarakaplanets (the Kendra and Trikona lords)
and suchresults alsooccurin the Dasaof Bhukti of such unrelated
auspicious planets (Yogakarakas)falling between the Dasas or
Bhuktis of the two main planets.

Indological Truths
74 Laghu Parasari'Jataka Chandrika
Notes-Suppose the Lagna is Aries. If the 10ft lord Saturn
and the 5thlord Sun are related as told earlier then they form
greatly auspiciouscombination.Supposethe 9thlord Jupiter is
not related to the Sun and Saturn.Then in the Dasasof the Sun
and Saturn, the Bhukti of auspiciousJupiter being the 9*hlord
though unrelated to the Sun and Saturn, will also produce
auspicious(Yogakaraka)rsults.
Pt. Sita Ram jha has given another interpretation. He takes
the prose order thus-
rqgs.{rrfiTM rdrfin€ft zffiuft 3I
q{n{dtrqqrTd: grtTYI: trt: qi(tt
In the Mahadasaof an unrelatedauspiciousplanet, even in
the Bhukti of one Yogakarakaand in the Pratyantaraof another
Yogakaraka,the results of the Yoga are realised.The logic he
forwards is thus :
q{FTr ffis qtg$qfr TITWF:I

i ffi: qr{ sqvrrgd+s frl

I q$qk {'1lT drr' vrq-*16561 nP',
In this world, a virtuous person ever strives to do good to
other people. But a wicked person always tries to do harm to
others evenif it may not serveany purpose to him. Similar is the
casewith auspiciousplanets.During the courseof their Dasa,
whenever the Bhukti and Pratyantaraof Yogakarakasoccur,they
yield Yogakarakaresults.
Conclusivelywe can statethat if the Dasaof an auspicious
(Yogakaraka)planet intervenes between the Dasa of the
related 9thand LO'hlords (Kendra and Trikona lords) then the
D a s a o f t h i s u n r e l a t e d a u s p i c i o u sp l a n e t a l s o p r o d u c e s
auspiciousresults.More explicitly,it is not necessarythat this
auspiciousplanet must be relatedwith the 9'hand LO'hlords.
If there existsa relation, then complete Yoga is formed. This
may be extended to the Bhuktis of the 9'hand LOthlord as in
the example earlier.

Indological Truths
Laghu Parasari-Jataka Chandrika 75
Example -If in a TaurusLagna chart the 4thlord Sun and
the 9thand L0'hhouse lord Saturn are relatedthen both become
Yogakarakas.If Mercury the Sthlord is not related to thesetwo
even then in Sun's Dasaor Saturn'sDasa,Mercury's Bhukti will
give auspiciousresults.Similarly in Saturn'sDasa,Sun's Bhukti
and Mercury's Pratyantara,the results will be auspicious.Here
{le{ ll-6 means Trikona lord.
The word 9l-cl: has.beenused in the Sloka which tells that
mixed resultsare also obtainedin the Bhukti of such auspicious
planets.This condition arisesif Dasa lord is blemished. In that
casethis auspiciousplanet being not relatedwith the Dasa lord
is incapable of mending his blemish and in such conditions
proportionately auspiciousor mixed resultsare obtained.
Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart the combination of Venus
and Saturn is greatly auspicious.If Mercury (a Trikona lord) is
unrelated to Saturn even then in Saturn's Dasa and Mercury's
Bhukti results will be auspicious with a little Maraka effects
becauseMercury is also a feebleMaraka. But in Venus's Dasa
and Mercury's Bhukti results will be proportionate or mixed
becauseVenus is blemishedbeing the 6thlord. Mercury cannot
mend or eradicatethe blemishof Venusbecausehe is not related
to Venus. Mercury will also cause feeble Maraka results like
illness,debt, teasingfrom enemy etc.
Example-In a Taurus Lagna chart, the relation of Mercury
and Saturn producesa powerful Rajayoga.Then, if Saturn does
not make any relation with the Sun and Mars even then in
Saturn's Dasa the Bhuktis of the Sun and Mars will not be
inauspiciousbecausethe Sun and Mars being Kendra lords are
neutrals.However the combination of the Sun and Saturn will
be productive of very auspiciousresults.Then if the 2"dand 5'h
lord Mercury is related with the Sun, he will be productive of
auspiciousnessin his Bhukti in the Dasaof the Sun. Similarly if
Saturn and Mars are r.elatedthen Mercury Bhukti will be
auspiciousinSaturn's Dasabut in Mars'sDasaMercury's Bhukti
will not be as auspiciousbut will give mixed results also with
some Maraka effects.

planets give Yoga results in their own Dasa and Bhukti and
Pratyantaraof Yogakarakaplanets.
For him clue lies in the following verse-
qq**) qfr qrt(-+ seisfr faermq*':t
ir{T( qrqisfr qq*} qfr qttrqdeq:tt
Even bad persons in the company of noble persons mend
their ways to help the latter. Similarly a malefic planet gives the
results of the Yoga, if in any relationship with the Yogakaraka
planets.
In Sloka 18 was said that greatly auspiciousresults occur in
the Dasaand Bhukti of Yogakarakaplanetsand even the Bhukti
of unrelated auspiciousplanet is productive of auspiciousresults.
Here auspicious planets are productive of good results erien
without relationship with the Yogakarakas.Now the question
arises,caninauspiciousplanetsbe productiveof auspiciousness,
if they are relatedto Yogakarakaplanets?The answer is that an
inauspiciousplanet is productiveof auspiciousresultsaccording
to his strength in his Bhukti, if he is related to Yogakarakaplanets.
In other words a Trishadayalord who is neither a Kendra nor a
Tiikona lord and is related to Yogakaraka planets; in his Dasa
and Bhukti of the related Yogakarakaplanetswill produce mixed
results accordingto the power of his inauspiciousness'Almost
all the commentatorshave interpreted that inauspiciousplanet
will give auspiciousresults.If this would havebeenthe intention
of the author of the text then he would have not contradictedit
in Slokas37 and 38 :
crcr qR (flFilefi: u{rri nq:{Igq|-{l

If the Dasalord is inauspiciousthen inauspiciousresultsoccur
in the Bhukti of unrelated auspiciousplanet and mixed results
ociur in the Bhukti of related auspicious planet but very
inauspiciousresults occurin the Bhukti of uruelated inauspicious
planet.

Indological Truths
78 Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika
Now, it is evident from theseSlokas that if the Dasa lord is
inauspicious,the auspiciousplanet related to him gives mixed
results in his Bhukti. Here if inauspicious planet is totally
inauspicious asJupiter for Libra Lagna and Mercury for Scorpio
Lagna then the results will depend upon his strength and the
strength of related auspicious planet. The word tfif( has been
used only for the Bhukti of inauspicious planet not for the Dasa
of Yogakarakaplanet otherwise it will contradict Slokas 37-38.
Example - In a Taurus Lagna chart, if the Sun and Saturn are
related to produce greatly auspiciousresults and if the Moon is
related to the Sun not to Satum then in the Sun'sDasa,the Moon's
Bhukti and in the Moon's Dasa,Sun'sBhukti will be productive
of mixed results.If the Moon is relatedto both the Sun and Saturn.
Then Moon's Dasa and Saturn's Bhukti will be more auspicious
than Sun's Bhukti.
To generalise,we can say that Trishadaya lords if related to
Yogakarakas are productive of mixed results in the Dasa of
Yogakarakasand their own Bhuktis and vice versa. Tiishadaya
lords if unrelated to Yogakaraka planets are productive of
extremelyinauspiciousresultsin the Dasa of Yogakarakasand
their own Bhuktis and vice-versa.
Example-In the charthereSaturnis Yogakarakaand Jupiter

A wise government administrator always works for the
benefitof his subjects.If he is further relatedto a virtuous person
what more can be said of his wiseness?Similarly,if the lord of a

of a Trikona (wisdom) he producesauspiciousness everywhere,
as is said :

The Trikona housesare termed the housesof Lakshmi (the
goddessof wealth) while the Kendra housesare the housgsof
Vishnu (the god of existenceand sustainance)and relationship
among their lords makes one an emperor whose fame spreads
all around.The strongerthe relationshipdue to various strengths
of the planets, the stronger will be Rajayoga.If the concerned
planets are in Simhasanamsa,the native of the chart will be an
emperor,ruling the whole earth as is said:

emperorsof olden times. In Kaliyuga, king Yudhishthira too was
born in such a combinationof planets.
Ordinarily, Rajayogasconfer much wealth, status and
happinessto the native though they may not make him a king.
The planet's strength is the key to the quality of Rajayoga.A
planet in debilitatioru combustionetc.is dispossessedof strength,
therefore incapable of confering auspiciousness.
Upto now we talked of the Kendra and Trikona lords but the
question ariseswhat will be the results,if a Kendra or Trikona
lord at the same time happensto be a Trishadayaor 8thhouse
lord as for a Gemini Lagna chart Mercury conjunct Venus be
related to Saturn who is also the 8tr'house lord; for a Cancer
Lagna chart Jupiter being the 9thlord is also the 6thlord; for a
Capricorn Lagna chart the 9thlord Mercury also happens to be
the 6tr'houselord and for an Aquarius Lagna chart Mercury being
the 5thhouse lord also owns the 8thhouse. A Yogakarakais a
joint lord of a Kendra as well as Trikona, if he happens to be
related to a blemished Tiikona lord, then the blemish does not
influence the combination any way becauseauspiciousnessof
the Yogakarakaplanet is so great that it eradicatesthe blemish.
If a Rajayogakarakaplanet (the samelord of a Kendra and a
Trikona) is related to anotherKendra lord is not as powerful as
when related to a Trikona lord.
In a Taurus Lagna chart if Saturn (the 9thand 10'hlord) is
related to Mercury (the 5s and 2ndlord), it is the best Yoga for
TaurusLagna.
In a CancerLagna chart,if Mars (the 5h and L0thlord) is related
to the Moon or Jupiter the 6thand 9ft lord will be the best Yoga
for CancerLagna but Mars+Moon Yoga will have an edge over
the others becausethe Moon is unblernishedat all. Similarly in

the house they occupy.If lord of the house is strong, they are
strong and if weak, they areweak. Similarly if their dispositor is
a Yogakaraka,they will function as Yogakarakas.Likewise they

In this context notes were given. It was also told how Rahu
anclKetu behavewhen associatedwith other houselords. In the
Sloka here the word TIrtr*I or relation has been used, not the
word or association.According to this text, relations are
"Td
of four types but here only place or house relation has been
considered.The reasonperhapsis that Rahu-Ketu do not own
any sign, therefore they can not form any relation except house
occupation.
Thus, the Slokasimply means,if Rahu and Ketu in a Kendra
are associatedwith a Trikonalord or in a Trikonaare associated
with a Kendralord or areassociated with a Trikonalord in a Trikona
then only they are Yogakarakas. They are neutral in a Kendra even
if with its lord. This hasbeenelaboratedat lengthearlier.
If Rahu in a Kendra is aspectedby a Trikona lord even then
it is be a mild Yogakarakaunlessit does not occupy the sign of
the aspectingplanet.This is possiblefor TaurusLagnaif Rahu is
in Aquarius in the 10'hhouseand is aspectedby Saturn from the
Lagna,the4thor8d'house,thenit is aspectedby th lord Saturnalso.
In this text the aspectualrelationis only possiblewhen the planet
is aspectedby his dispositor.Thus,Rahu-Ketuaredevoidof mutual
aspectualrelationaccordingto thetextasthey do not own any sign
and alsodo not havea physicalbody and luminousityas well.

lords are the lords of the 3'd,6th,1Lth,8th,2ndand l'2thhouses.The

the lords of the 11th-6thand 3'dhousesin the reducing order of
evil. The lords of the 2ndand 12'hhouses cause evil only in
associationwith other evil or inauspicioushouse lords. The 8th
lord and then the Llthlord are the most inauspiciousor evil. The

Mars and Saturn owning the 3'd and 6thhousesif are also
jointly the Kendra and Tiikona lords in a Rajayogacombination,
they do not causemuch inauspiciousness becausethe 3'dand 6tr'
are weak housesfor the evil. Someof the auspiciousnessis still
presentin the combination.
The 2"'tand L2'hhouselords joining the Kendra and Tiikona
lords combination do not causeany change in the Rajayoga
results however this conjunctionis good for auspiciousresults
in suchlord's Dasasand Bhuktis.
If the Kendraand Tiikona lords are relatedand a third planet

it shouldbeclearthat only theauspiciousness of thecombinationis
destroyed however planet'sindividual resultsstill occur.
The demand of the Slokadoesnot seemsto apply verbatim
becausefor none of the Lagna,the 9thand 8'hlord and the 10th

as told above.He further says,for q*fl or the 9thlord we should
consiclerall the Trikona lords and 6o1q-fw or the 10'hlord we
should infer all the Kendra lords. A Tiikona lord can never be
the 11tr'house lord but a Kendra lord can be the 1l.thand 8thhouse
lord. Therefore,he suggeststhat in a wider sensewe should
interpret it as,if the Kendra and Trikona lords happen to be the
8thand 11thlords, the Rajayogais vanquished and one cannot
enjoy the greatly auspiciousresults.Sri Sastri'sviewb though

Determination of Maraka Houses-

The 8h house from the birth Lagna is called the house of
longevity. The 8h from the 8'hhouseis also likewise i.e., the 3'd
house is also a house of longevity.
The L2thhousescounted from these two housesare called
Maraka (death-inflicting)houses.
Thus the 7thand 2"'thousesin a horoscopeare Maraka (death
inflicting) houses.
Notes-There is no doubt that the 8'hhouse is the house of
longevity. The evil nature of the 8thlord has been discussed
earlier.The 9thhouseis the most auspicioushouse;thereforethe
L2tr'housefrom it indicatesits drainagewhich is the 8'hhouse,
the deadly evil house. The loss of life is the suPremeloss i.e.,
death. Death is the supremetruth in this universe.One who takes
birth l'rasto die one day. Therefore,the most inauspiciousin this
universe is death, which falls under the domain of the 8thhouse
of the horoscope.Out of all the housesin a horoscopeone is the
prime houseand there are alsosecondaryhousesof it according
to "BhavatBhavam" principle.

The secondary house is as much housesahead of the prime
houseas the prime houseis from the Lagna.The Sthis the house
of intelligencethereforethe 5s from the 5s i.e.,the 9'hhousefrom
the Lagna also signifiesintelligencei.e.,the 9*his the secondary
houseof intelligence.What is judged from the 5thhousecan also
be judged from the 9thhouse secondarily.Similarly, the 8thfrom
the 8thhouse i.e., the 3'dhousefrom the Lagna is the secondary
houseof longevity.
The drainage housesfor the 8thand 3'dhousesare the 7thand
2ndhousesrespectively,which are the Maraka houses.As the
houses6f longevity are prime and secondary,so are the Maraka
houses.Thus, the 7thhouseis the prime Maraka house and the
2"dhouse is the secondaryMaraka house.
Pt. Vinayaka Sastri'Betala' counts the 7ft house as strong
Maraka house.He argues:

8ft lord; the Lagna and Hora Lagna;the Moon and Lagna should
be prepared and judged as above. Some scholarstake Saturn
and Mooninstead of the Moonand Lagna.The tabie givenabove
is a specimen. The span of longevity arrived at by the two or
three pairs should be adopted. If all the three pairs show
differently then the life span should be fixed finally by the Lagna
and Hora Lagna.
If the Lagna lord is friendly to the Sun then long life may be
anticipated, if neutral then medium and if enemy then short life.

As single Trikona lord cannot bestow Rajayoga in the same
way single Maraka cannot inflict death, only inflicts adverse
results.To inflict death he hasto relatehimself with somemalefic.
If a Maraka planet i.e.,the 7thor 2ndhouselord is associatedwith
a malefic, he forms a first grade Maraka combination. In chapter

Special Rule for Dasa Results-

' VJr{TVJ$IIFA Tunqrfl$rrErd{iTd:ll29ll
All the planets do not confer their full auspicious,
inauspiciousor Maraka results during their Dasasand in their
own Bhuktis in them. But they confer only ordinarily such results
in their Dasasand Bhuktis.
Notes - In this Sloka a general principle has been
propounded that planetsdo not give entireresultsof their house
-wnership in their Dasasand own Bhuktis i.e.,wheu the Dasa
and Bhukti lord is one and the sameplanet,he does not give his
entire results due to ownership during his own Dasa-Bhukti.
The word slltrTqltN-{Fqis used in a wider pretext i.e., the Dasa
lord's sign occupatioryhouseownership, his aspects,aspectsover
him, relationship with other house lords, his own natural
characteristics,debilitation, exaltation, Karkatwa etc., all these
goocl and evil states of the planet collectively and
comprehensively are included in the word. slfeqcrTtm(Fql
Therefore a planet doesnot give his entire sTfiCqHf{5qresults in
his own Dasa-Bhukti however a few results can still be
experienced.

The aboveSloka tells us the peculiarity of Dasalord's own
Bhukti. Every planetary Dasa starts with its own Bhukti or
Antardasa.Thus, the Sun's Dasacommenceswith his own Bhukti
spreadingover a period of 3 months and 18 days.
The substanceis that the whole of the auspicious or
inauspiciousresults of a planet cannot be expectedin his own
Bhukti when his Dasahascommenced.Supposein a chartjupiter
owns the 9thhouse. It should not be proclaimed immediately
that the most fortunate period would be ]upiter's Bhukti in
Jupiter's Dasa.But as Sri VinayakaSastri says-a-dser E ffite
i.e., resultsin own Bhukti will only be to some extent.When a
planet gives his entire results will be told in the slokas to follow.

The planets produce results characteristicto them in the

Notes-Whatever we have studied in the text upto now, we
can say that the Yogakarakaplanet gives his greatly auspicious
results in his Dasa.
The Maraka, evil or inauspiciousplanet inflicts his Maraka
evil or inauspiciousresultsin his Dasa.This is logically certain.
But the Dasa period is spread over a long period' The
auspicious,Yogakaraka,inauspicious,Maraka etc. results then
cannot be possibethrough out the long Dasaperiod. This Sloka
and Slokai yet to be studied form the delineationmethods for
such intricacies.
Suppose Mars is a Yogakaraka for cartain Lagna but then

If the planet is a Yogakarakahis resultsdue to this character

Similarly a Maraka cannot kill but can pile up adversities

(ii) In the Dasa of a Yogakarakaplanet his full results occur in

The learned should depict discriminatively the results of

Bhuktis of planets who are not related and are of contrary
characteristics(Viruddha-dharmi) to the Dasalord in accordance
with their above natures.
Notes-All the planets can be classifiedin two categories
accordingto their relation with the Dasalord-
(i) Relatedplanet
(ii) Unrelated planet
Thesecan be further classified into three categories:
(i) With same character (Sadharmi)
(ii) With contrary character(Asadharmi)
(iii) Neturalcharacteristically(Anubhaya-dharmi)
Elaboratingthesemore explicitly-
Sadharmisare:
AYogakaraka to othereYogakaraka,an auspiciousplanet to
other auipicious planet, a neutral to other neutral, a Maraka to
other Maraka and an inauspiciousto anotherinauspicious planet.
Viruddha-dharmi or Asadharmi are:
A Yogakaraka and an inauspicious planet, an auspic-iousand
inauspicious,an auspiciousand evil, a Yogakarakaand Maraka
and an auspiciousand Maraka planet.
Anubhaya-dharmisare:

If a Trikona lord is unrelated to a Trishadaya loid tlrt'n in
Tiikona lord's Dasa,the Trishadayalord's Bhukti will give results
according f6 sTTrf[urdl i.e., according to the nature of two lords,
the results will be mixed results, more of the stronger planet.
If a Trishadaya lord is related to a Tiikona lord or a Tiikona
lord is related to the 8,hlord then in the Dasa of TrikOnalord and
Bhukti of Trishadaya lord or 8ft lord there will be very few
Trikona lord's results and mixed results will be there because
the Trishadaya lord is not a Kendra lord. Similar will be the
results in the Dasa of Tiishadaya lord and Bhukti of Trikona lord
i.e.,initially good results and bad later on or vice-versa.
In the Dasa of Yogakaraka and the Bhukti of unrelated
Anubhaya-dharmi initially there will be auspicious results first
and later mixed or neutral results.
In the Dasaof Maraka and theBhukti of unrelated Anubhaya
Dharmi, first there will be inauspicious results and later mixed
or neutral results.
According to this text all the results of Dasas and Bhuktis
depend on relationships, characteristicsof planets and Sdquqdt
i.e. tne result which is arrived at by the judicious application of
principles.

If the Kendra lord and Tiikona lord both are unblemished
then it is the Yoga of top order. Here unblemished means the
other signs of the two lords do not fall in inauspicious houses.
By own-ing inauspicious houses both lose Yoga producing
cipacity to a great extent.The word evil is more appropriate for
Kendra lord.

An evil Kendra lord in his Dasa and unblemished Trikona

lord? Jupiter, Venus and Mercury if become Kendra and
Trishadaya or 8thlords at the same time then they are-termedas
evil Kendra lords. This evil is more with these benefics due to
KendradhipatyaDosha.If Saturnand Mars are suchevil Kendra
lords then their evil is not of the order of benefics because no
Kendradhipatya Dosha evil occurs to saturn and Mars. In this
sloka the word crq-ff, or evil applies only to Kendra lords'
For Trikona lords who becomeTrishadya lords or 8ft lord at
the sametime, the word qdq or blemished is more appropriate.
An evil Kendra lord and blemished Tiikona lord cannot produce
auspiciousnessin their respectiveDasaBhr*ti.
This has been discussedearlier under Sloka 15 of this text.
Discriminatively we can conclude-
(t If only malefic Kendra lord getsrelatcd with unblemished
Trikona lord, they will be greatly auspicious in their Dasa
Bhukti. The word unblemished indicates that the planet
should not additionally be lord of inauspicioushouses'

with the behaviour of planets due to house lordships in their

(v) If both the Kendra and Trikona lords are unblemished and

not be due to the relationship but simply for not being

If Rajayoga commencesin the Dasa of a Yogakaraka planet
and in the Bhukti of a Maraka planet, this Bhukti only makes
one famous due to authority gained but comforts of authority in
real terms accrue in Bhukti of evil planet. Relation between the
Dasaand Bhukti lords is essential.
Similarly, if in a Yogakarka planet's Dasa,the Bhukti is of a
related auspiciousplanet, the Rajayogaresultsare considerably
large.
In a Yogakarakaplanet's Dasa,in the Bhukti is of an unrelated
auspicious planet, the Rajayogaresults areordinary and no Yoga

the same way.
Notes-There are three categoriesof planets:

2. Inauspicious or the 8th,Trishadayaand Maraka lords.
3. Neutral or the 2"dand 12'hlords.

The Moorls Dasa and Jupiter's Bhukti was auspicious for
him. Jupiter though a Maraka but being in the LOthhouse
in own sign acted more as 10ft lord and he gained by some
imports.
Saturn s Bhukti was not good and was troublesome for Saturu

Mercury's Bhukti was fairly auspicious as Bhukti lord is in
the th house but not related to Dasa lord therefore the results
were of Mercury's lordship.
Ketu's Bhukti was neutral as both display neutral
character.
In Moon's Dasa and Venus's Bhukti (5'hlord) a Yogakaraka
the native brought his elder son in businessand started a new
manufacturing unit. The results were predominantly of Venus
(a Yogakaraka).
In the Sun Bhukti the results were not good as the Sun is a
Trishadaya lord and the native was penalisedby govt. agencies
for some misappropriations. He had to invest for the needs of
the new project undertaken in Venus Bhukti.
During the last seven years of the Moon's Dasa, transit of
Saturn over the key planets hampered the results considerably
as the Moon, the Dasa lord is a neutral planet.

Notes-If the Dasais of an auspiciousplanet and the Bhukti

If both the above planets are unrelated even then auspicious

Yogakarakaresultsoccur in the Bhukti of Yogakaraka.This seens
to be possibleonly when the Bhukti lord is extremely powerful

predominantly. The transit of benefics over the Maraka Dasa
lord canalsoinduce such situationswhen theYogakarakaBhukti

handcuffed of his evil by benefic transit. A prisoner finds his
occasion to escapeonly when the guards are not alert or busy

Suchresults are also possiblewhen the Dasalord and Bhukti

of an inauspicious planet will function as neutrals rather
somewhat inauspicious results will occur.
The Sloka says :

c{YRgf{:
According to Muni Parasara,if Rahu is in a Kendra in Aries,
Cancer, Scorpio, Virgo, Capricorn or Gemini, it is Rajayoga-
karaka.
The words sTgq*ir d:qfd( inSloka meansthat Rahu-Ketu if
be not related to any Yogakarakaare productive of auspicious
results in their own Dasa and Bhukti of a Yogakaraka, when
placed in auspicioushouses.
The word 3l-{IEf*Imeansno relation. If Rahu-Ketu are placed
in a Kendra or Trikona and do not associatewith a Kendra or
Trikona lord would definetely mean that they areunrelated. Will
they be considered related if conjunct a Kendra or Trikona lord
in that Kendra or Trikona? In this context earlier said rule has to
be followed :
Tr{Tr-d.rdqrewr<rnAtrwgd
i.e., they will function for the lord they are conjunct with. In
other words, Rahu-Ketuconjunctwith a Kendra or Trikona lord
will function as if Kendra lord is in a Kendra or Trikona lord is
in a Trikona. To produce Yoga results, the relation between
Kendra and Trikona lords is required which is absent here. This
situation is like, no relation between Kendra and Trikona lords
and in this context they will be ineffective srerqqfor Yoga results

In the Dasa of inauspicious planet, the Bhukti of related
Yogakarakaplanet is productive of mixed results'
In the Dasa of inauspiciousplanet, the Bhukti of unrelated
Yogakaraka planet is productive of extremely inauspicious
results.
Notes-who are the inauspiciousplanets?The lords of the
8,h,L1,h,6.hand 3'dhousesare inauspiciousplanetsin the reducing
order. Then are lesserinauspicious planets,Jupiter, Venus,
beneficassociatedMercury and the strong Moon as Kendra lords
againin the reducing order.Thus the 8'hhouselord is the greatest
inauspicious or evil planet while the Moon is the least
inauspiciousPlanet.
If the Dasalord is an inauspiciousplanet then in his Dasa-
(i) The Bhukti of unrelatedauspiciousplanet is inauspicious
or evil.
(ii) The Bhukti of related auspiciousplanet is productive of
mixed results becausethe Dasa lord and Bhukti lords are
of contrary characteristics. In other words the relation will
tone down the maleficenceof the Dasalord and the Bhukti
lord will be able to bestow some of his results. other
strengths of the two lords like exaltation,Varga strength
are instrumental here in clecidingthe results i.e., if the Dasa
lord is stronger of the two planets then inauspicious results
will dominate and if the Bhukti lord is stronger, he will
show his resultsa little more,resultantlythe mixed results.
(iii) The Bhukti of unrelatedYogakarakaplanet is productive
of highly inauspiciousresultsbecauseYogakarakawill not
be able to influence and mould the Dasa lord'
In this context Sri Vinayaka Sastri "Belala" saysthat the Dasa
lord is like a sovereignking and the Bhukti lord is his subordinate
courtier, who has to follow king's orders.If the king is cruel or
evil, the subordinate courtier though of humble disposition,
obeysthe king's cruel orders for the fear of insult and humiliation
due to disobedience.If the subordinateis extremelyhumble and
noble (like a Yogakaraka planet) then he is so much duty
Indological Truths

consciousthat without the least application of his mind he will
follow king's orders in toto. This conditiin ariseswhen the two
planets are unrelated or there is corirmunication gap between
the king and subordinate.
If the communication is there i.e., the king gives an ear to the
advice of subordinate or the subordinate is in a position to
ammend the orders, then he will be able to implement it with
some favour for the masses.This condition ariseswhen the Dasa
lord and the Bhukti lord are related.
(i") The Bhukti of related Yogakaraka planet is productive of
mixed results which are somewhat more auspicious and
less inauspicious.
(") The Bhukti of neutral planets (the 2'd and 12s house lords)
is productive of somewhatinauspiciousor evil results in
consonancewith the characteristicsof the Dasa lord but
lessthan as statedin (i), as the Bhukti lord eitherrelated or
unrelated tries to maintain his neutral character'
("i) The Bhukti of an inauspicousplanet is definitely productive
of greatly inauspicious results rather more if the two are
relited tiran when they are unrelated. The 5h, 8s or L2s
position of the Dasa and Bhukti lords to each other
aggravatesthe resultsin this case.
In thesetwo Slokasthe resultsof various Bhuktis in the Dasa
of inauspiciousplanet is being discussed.In view of the above
discussionwe can deducein generalterms-
If the Dasalord and the Bhukti lord arerelatedand Dasalord is
auspiciousthen the auspiciousresults are promoted or demoted
proportionately and characteristicallyto the Bhukti lord'
If the Dasalord is inauspiciousand related to the Bhukti lord
then inauspicious results increaseor decreaseaccording to the
characterof the Bhukti lord.
Purely inauspicious planets are the 8h house lord (if not in
the 8th),'Trishadayalords and Marakas associated with
inauspiciousplanets.

Lesserinauspicious planets are of two types (i) the stronger

are the Kendra lords having their other sign identical with
inauspicious houses and (ii) Trikona lords having their other
sign identical with inauspicious houses.
Auspicious planets are those that do not have their other
sign identical with Trishadaya or 8ft houses.
Here it should be clearthat in the Dasaof purely inauspicious
planet, the Bhukti of unrelated auspicious planet is productive
of inauspicious results. If the Dasa lord is blemished auspicious
planet then in the Bhukti of related auspiciousplanet, the results
are auspicious.

This is becauseboth are characteristicallysimilar planets.
This also resoundsthat Maraka Dasalord in the Bhukti of a
related inauspicious planet is a doubtful killer. There are two
Marakas,one is a Kendra, 7thhouse lord while the other is the
2ndhouselord.
r No 7tr' lord can be a Trikona lord therefore he cannot be

If Venus and Saturn are in their exaltation, own, Vargottama
etc., thus strong Yogakarakas,then in one's Dasa and other's
Bhukti even a king or a wealthy man becomesa begger and poor.
If one of them is strong and other weak then the results are good.
i If both the planets are weak and are placed in 6th,8thor 12th
house to each other or are with the 6th,8thor L2thhouse lords
then they bestow all comforts, auspiciousnessand luxuries. If
one of them owns auspicioushousesand the other inauspicious
then alsoboth produce good results.If both the planetsown evil

The rule told in this Slokaof this text is true in principle and

But what has been said in "Ijttara Kalamrita" has stood to the

If the 9thhouse lord be in the L0'hhouse and the l"Othhouse

Notes-The Yoga or auspicious combination arises out of
the relation of Kenira and Trikona lords. The two Slokasunder
discussionare about two very auspiciousYogasof first grade.
The Lagna is first Kendra as well as Trikona. Therefore Lagna
lord is f,imself a Rajayogakaraka.If this Lagna lordis related to
the 10fthouse(strong-est Kendra)lord, a very Pow"erfulRajayoga

Bhukti of such planets do not arrive in one's lifetime even then
such a native is of higher strata of the society,enjoying prosperity.
Sri Vinayaka Sastri 'Betala'holds that the relationship
between the Kendra and Trikona lords has been talked of many
times earlier in the text then what was the need to say the same
thing again in the concluding Sloka of the text.
According to Sri Betala Sastri the text actually suggestshere
four specificRajayogat as under:
(i) The Lagna and 10ft lords be in the 10h house.
(ii) tt tt tt tt tt tt ,t t,
Lagna.

(iii) The th and L0h lords be in the th house.

(i") \0lh

Sri Sastri f.rrther says that in this text no word is without a

purpose and meaning and if something is said again thenit must
be in some new pretext. Therefore Sri Sastri forwards his
interpretation as above.
Actually there is no much contradiction between the two
interpretations as the Yoga causing planets are the same.House
exchangeis most powerful relation vide Sloka 14.

In Aries Lagna Saturn,Mercury and Venusare inauspicious.
Jupiter and the Sun bestow auspiciousresults.The relation of
Saturn and Jupiter does not form auspicious combination or
Yoga. In this combination Jupiter producesevil rather. Venus
does not become Maraka by simply owning Maraka houses
though he should be so. Saturn, Mercury and Venus become
Marakasin the reducing order. Thus planetsbestow auspicious
and inauspiciousresultsfor Aries Lagnanativesand this should
be gatheredfrom the learned.
Notes- In Aries LagnachartsSaturnowns the 10th and 1Lth

conclusion is that extremely auspiciousresults cannot be

Jupiter is in the 10th and Saturn is in the 9th house, mme good
can be expected for house exchangebetween the 9th and 10th

The reading in the Sloka 45,*fr : slfl-q E-{r srqK6sdT qlefi:
i.e., Venus does not kill even though classified as Maraka is
erroneous and contradictory to the rules laid down earlier.
Perhapsit is clueto erasingand corruption of the text. Venus is a
very strong Maraka if placedin the 7th or 2nd house and/or in
relation to inauspicioushouse lords.
One thing that is tobe kept in mind is thatin B.P.H.SParasara
clearly warns at the end of the chapter.

The results are to be told after duly consideringother Yogas
like NabhasaYogasetc. present in the horoscope.Theseare to
be understood from bigger works like Brihat fatak4 Saravali,
fataka Parijata etc.
The evil that arises from Saturn-Jupiter combination is due
to Jupiter owning the L2th house and Saturn owning the L1th
house.So the Rajayogaresultsalmost get spoilt or may be very
feebleor may not be even felt at all.
Fruitful Yogas:-
1. Sun + Mars,
2. Sun + Moon,
3. Sun + Venus, here Venus is a Maraka and evil
due to Kendradhipatya Dosha. But still the Yoga is

of 6th house lordship, a 2'd Trishadaya is more than the
auspiciousnessof the Lagna.Therefore,he is inauspicious.Thus
we seethat the blemish is more than the auspiciousness. Hence
Venusis declaredinauspiciousor evil and a Maraka, if associated
with other Marakasfor ThurusLagna.
Saturn is the single owner of the 9th (a Trikona) and 10th (a
Kenclra) houses and according to Sloka 7, he alone is
Rajayogakarakaplanet. If Saturn gets related with other
auspicious planets then he creates a greatly auspicious
combination.
The Moon owns the 3rd housea Trishadayahouse.Whether
she is strong or weak, she is inauspicious in both the cases,
particularly when related with other inauspicious or Maraka
planets.
Mercury owning the 2nd ( a Maraka) and 5th (a Trikona)
housesis auspiciousvide Sloka6. Mercury is auspiciouswhile
Saturn is Rajayogakaraka.
There is differenceof opinion in regard to the Sun, who owns
the 4th house.By owning a quadrant, the Sun a malefic leaves
his maleficenceand becomesneutral. Leaving maleficenedoes
not meanthat theSun becomesauspicious.Mercury is auspicious

Though, the Moon owns the 2nd house,shedoesnot become

rr*(t ttre Sun and the Moon do not have the powerful evil nature
identical to the ownership of the 8th house.Similarly a lesser
evil nature due to ownership of the 2nd houseis not significant
with the Moon and the Sun. This seems to be the line of
agreement.But as has beentold repeatedly,decisionsregarding
longevity span can only be taken after careful calculationof the
same,basedon Ayurdaya principles.Otherwise,one might go
wrong. Very oftery the rules stated,do have many exceptions,
which are not found mentioned. So,one should not boldly assert
quoting lines from various classicsindiscriminately.It is stated
that Saturn is not capableof killing the native. This is because,
he happensto be Bhagyadhipati,the 9th houselord.
But in other versions,it is mentionedqrq'{IRt i.e.,the Moon
does not kill. Sincerules may be having exceptions,one should
be very cautious in applying them. One should consider the
matter by different methods, like Gochara, Stellar position etc.

Saturn is Maraka as he owns 7th house (a Maraka house) and
8th housean evil house.This way auspiciousand inauspicious
resultsshoulclbe understoodfor CancerLagna.
For Cancer Lagna, Mars owns the 5th and the 10th houses
and becomesYogakarakaaccording to Slokas6 and 7. According
to Sloka 12, Mars becomesa Rajayogakaraka.
Jupiter owning the 9th houseis auspiciousbut is blemished
for owning the 6th house.But finally he is somewhatauspicious
as the 9th house is the strongestTiikona.
Venusbecomesblemished by owning a Kendra according to
Slokas7 and 10. Venus agian becombsinauspiciousby owning
the 11th house accordingto Sloka 6.
Mercury is inauspiciousfor owning the 3rd house.Again by
owning the 12th house, he gives results for the 3rd house.
Therefore he is finally inauspicious.
Saturn is evil by owning the 8th house and a Maraka by
owning the 7th house. Thus Saturn is Maraka and evil.
The Sun by owning the 2nd house (aMaraka-sthana)becornes
simply neutral. The blemish of Maraka does not occur to the
Sun. Moreover he is friendly to the Lagna lord Moon.
Fruitful Yogas :-

Venus as the 10th lord turns neutral and again becomes
inauspiciousbeing a Trishadayai.e.,3rd house lord. This has
been explained under Slokas 10 and 7 earlier. Moreover Venus
also observesenemity with the Lagna lord Sun.
Mars is a natural malefic but for Leo Lagna, he being the 9th
lord (a Trikona) is auspicious and Yoga producing vide Sloka 6.
Mars also owns the 4th (a Kendra) house. Therefore he leaves
his maleficence and becomesneutral. But having already

Jupiter owns the Sth house.So according to the rule:

as both are blemished moreover they are natural enemiesof each

is in the 10th housein lhurus and VenusoccupiesSagittariusin
the 5th house. Thus both the planets will then function more as
the 5th and 1Othhouse lords.
, Jupiter-Marsrelation forms an auspiciouscombination and
bestows greatly auspicious results.Jupiter is the only planet
blemished due to the 8th house lordship. To bestow greatest
auspiciousresults out of the relationship,Jupiter and Mars either
should have an exchangeof houses through the 4th and 5th

Mercury gives auspicious results.
The Moon owns the 10th house and does not get blemished

Mars is a natural malefic. He becomesneutral by owning the

greatly auspicious results or Rajayogaphala,if he is related to

Mercury owns the 9th (a Tiikona) house. Therefore, he is

The Moon owning the 7th house is a Maraka. If the Moon is
bright (strong) then as benefic, she additionally acquires
Kendradhipatya Dosha and her Maraka characteristicsget a
boost. If the Moon is deficient in rays (weak) then she is simply
a Maraka for his malefic nature.
The Sun owns the 8th house. Therefore, he is essentially
inauspicious.

Mars owns the 2nd and 9th (Trikona) house. As 2nd house
lord Mars gives results accordingto{eTHfd{EUu-+{i.e.,according
to his other house lordship. In our reading, it is said that Mars
does not kill. It is a general statement.Under certain
configurationshe may be inducedto kill in his Dasa-Bhukti.For
example, if Mars occupiesthe 2nd or 7th house in association
with Mercury and Saturn.
The 9th lord Mars, if gets configurated in house exchange
with the L0th lord Jupiter, it forms a very powerful Rajayoga.
Similarly, if the Moon occupiesthe 10th house and Jupiter in
exaltationis situated in the 5th housethen also it is a powerful
Rajayoga.
Saturnand Mercury aredeclaredto be evil and inauspicious
and henceare to be selectedas Marakas.Saturn owns the L1th
and 12th house, thereforehe is inaus;ricious.According to the
rule der-ctt-flq qrqlil qyry fretc 6--cfd( f{6f,r grqt=dfr: etc.,
Saturn's death inflicting power is clear.
As for Mercury, he rules the 4th and 7th, both Kendra houses.
Becauseof the ownership of Kendra houses he acquires
KendradhipatyaDosha and being also the 7th lord, he becomes
a powerful Maraka.
The Moon only becomesthe 5th (Tiikona) lord therefore he
is undoubtedlyauspicious.
The Sun is inauspicious for he owns the 6th house, a
Trishadayahouse.
Venus owns the 3rd house, wirich is a Trishadayahouse.
Venus also owns the 8th house and thus becomesdeadlv evil

Readersare thus reminded that the placement,combinations,
aspectsof the planets are all very inportant features to be
consideredwhile judging the auspiciousness and evil. Theseare
availablegenerally in all the texts of Hindu astrology.What has
been told in this work is an addition to decidecharacteristicsof
various planets according to their house rulership. It must be
clear that Parasaradoesnot want the rules statedhere to be used

Thus the wise man shoulcl understand the good and bad
results in respectof the twelve houses.The resultsin respectof
the twelve housesfrom the Lagna onwards should be carefully
combinedtogether.
In this way a wise man should understandthe resultsof the
planets in a horoscopein every possibleway. The combination
of the lords of Trikona and Kendra houses are capable of
producingall typesof auspiciousresults.
Notes-The horoscopegives details about every aspect of
one's life. For resultsof one'sbrother,consiclerthe 3rd house as
Lagna. The 9th therefrom will be the Bhagyasthanafor the
brother. The 7th therefrom would denote his wife. The 10th
therefrom, his profession.Similarly we can apply the rules of
Yogakarakasetc.The samecanbe repcatedwith other housesof
the horoscopeand information can be gained about every aspect
of life.

Some are born under beneficcombination of planets.And
they remain fools without experiencing any results of those
combinations like the ponies of Kashmir carrying bundles of
saffron. The reason is, what can the benefic combinations
produce, if their periods do not operate?
Notes-The ponies of Kashmir carry heavy loads of saffron
on their back.They experienceonly the weight of the bundles,
of little use is the fragranceof saffronto them.
Similarly, if the Dasasof the planets causing the yogas do

 DASA CALCULATIONS
I
The Vimsottari Dasa system is based on the Naksatras
(asterisms)that are tr,r'entysevenin number and2lc Naksatras
cover the elongation of each Rasi (sign). Elongation of each
Naksatrais 13o-20'having four charanas(legs)or sectorsof 3o-
20' each.Twenty sevenNaksatrasmultipled by the elongation
13o-20' give 360' of the NaksatraMandal (Zodiac)or RasiChakra.
TheseNaksatrasarecountedfromAswini which falls in the sign
Aries (Mesha)from 0oto 13o-20'.The next one Bharani occupies
13'-20' to 26o-40'in Aries. The last 3'-20' in Aries form the 1st
leg of Krittika Naksatra.Thus, we see1 + 1 + y4= 21/4Naksatra
fall in a sign.
As told in the text, total cycle of yearsin Vimsottari or Udu
Dasais of 120years.This comprisesof Sun's 6 years,Moon's 1-0
years,Mars's 7 years,Rahu's1,8years,Jupiter's16years,Saturn's
L9years,Mercury's \7 years,Ketu's 7 yearsandVenus's20 years
respectively in this order. If to a native current Dasa is of the
Sun, the next Dasawill be that of the Moon and then of Mars etc.
in the aboveorder. How this order was arrived at is yet a mystery
but we have brought somefact beforeour readersin this respect
in the introcluctory chapter.This can be acceptedas an axiont,
which has stood to the test of time.
Now how can we decidethe planet whose Dasa is on at the
time of birth of a native? Each Naksatra has its ruling planet,
who rules for a certain period of time as told earlier.In counting
of Dasas(Main periods) of planets,the starting Dasa is always
of the ruler of Naksatrain which the Moon is at the time of birth
and the succeedingDasasare calculatedin the order told above.

The cycle for lordship that starts from Ketu and ends at
Mercury, reoccurs three times in a set of 9 Naksatras finally
totalling to 27 Naksatras.First cyclestartsat 0oinAries and ends
at the 30th degreeof the sign Cancer.The 2nd cycle starts at 0oof
Leo and enclsat the 30th dgree of the sign Scorpio.And the 3rd
arrd last cycle startsof 0oof Sagittariusand endsat the 30th degree
of the sign Pisces.
In the table aboveAswini, Magha and Moola are lorded by
Ketu, falling in Aries 0o to 13o-20,in Leo 0o to L3o-20' and in
Sagittarius0o to L3o-20'.
Supposeat the birth of a native, the Moon is at3"-27'in the
sign Aries in Aswini Naksatra.In other words we can say that
the Moon has traversed 3"-27' in the sign Aries in Aswini
Naksatra and is yet to traverse (13'-20'-3'-27') i.e., 9o-53' in
Aswini Naksatra. By simple mathematicsof proportions, we can
calculatehow much balanceyearsetc.of Ketu's Dasa are left to
be experiencedby the native at birth.

Converting this into years,months and days,we get,5 years,

Ketu's Dasa will be on to the native till he is 5 years,3 months
and 9 days old. After Ketu, Venuswill rule the native for20 years.
Venus's Dasa will be on to the native in accordancewith the
order of Vimsottari Dasa sequence.The following table shows

Indological Truths
180 Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika
From the table of Dasa and Antardasa it is clear that Rahu
will rule the native or Rahu'sDasawill be on to the native from
the age48 years,3months and 9 days till 66years,3months and
9 days. During this period the native will be positioned in life
accordingto the results of Rahu'sDasa.Certainly there will be
changesin economic,socialand religious life pattern and physical
well being of the native accompanied by changesin mental
patterns also.Thesechangesarebrought aboutin consonancewith
the behaviourpatternsamongthe Dasaand variousBhukti lords.
Out of the nine Bhuktis, the very first Bhukti is of the lord of
Dasa.In Rahu Dasa,the first Bhukti will be of Rahu,next will be
of Jupiter and so on in the sequentialorder upto Mars Bhukti.
The Bhukti is further subdivided into Pratyantaraswhich
are alsonine. In a particular Bhukti the first Pratyantarais again
of Bhukti lord i.e.,in Rahu'sBhukti, the first Pratyantarawill be
of Rahu,the 2nd of Jupiteathe 3rd of Saturnetc.in the sequential
order as tolcl above.
Thus, we seethat Dasasystemis a big wheel of Dasa lmajor
period), and there are 9 small wheels of Bhuktis-(minor^orsub
feriods) in it and eachwheel of Bhukti containsfurther 9 small
wheels of Pratyantaras(sub-subperiods). In this way w€ can
move on to still smaller fractionslike Sookshmaand PranaDasas'
Formula for Bhukti is-
Yearsof Dasalord x Dasavears of Bhukti lord.

months
For convenience we can also take the numerator in the
fractioni.e.,288as28.8months'The whole number 28 represents
2 years and 4 months and the sub decimal part-O.8months as
0.8x30= 24 days.ThusRahu'sDasa,Jupiter'sBhukti is of 2 years/
4 months and24 days.

Indological Truths
Laghu Parasari-JatakaChandrika 181
Let us make a table of Bhukti in the Moon's Dasa-
Dasa/Shukti Months Years Months DaYs
Moon/Moon L0 x10 = L0.0 0 10 0
Moon/Mars 10x 7 = 7.0 0 7 0
Moon/Rahu 10 x18 = 18.0 1 6 0
Moon/Jupiter L0 x16 = 16.0 L 4 0
Moon/Satum 10 x19 = 19.0 1 7 0
Moon/Mercury 10x17 = 17.0 1 5 0
Moon/Ketu 10x7 = 7.0 0 0
Moon/Venus 10x20 = 20.0 1. 8 0
Moon/Sun 10x 6 = 6.0 0 6 0
Total = 10 0 0
Example table of Bhukti in Ketu's Dasa-
Dasa/Bhukti Months Years Months Days
Ketu/Ketu 7x7 = 4.9 0 4 27
Ketu/Venus 7x20 = 14.0 L 2 0
Ketu/Sun 7x6 = 4.2 0 4 6
Ketu/Moon 7 x10 E 7.0 0 7 0
Ketu/Mars 7x7 = 4.9 0 4 27
Ketu/Rahu 7 x18 = 12.6 1 0 18
Ketu/fupiter 7x1.6 s l't.2 0 11 6
Ketu/Saturn 7x19 = 13.3 L 1 9
Ketu/Mercury 7x17 = 11.9 0 L1 27
Total = 7 00 00
Similarly, we can make instantly t:bles for Bhuktis in the
Dasa'sof other planetsalso.
Let us now calculate Dasa balance for a native with the
Moon's longitute 6' . 5o.24'. From the table this longitude falls
under Chitra Naksatra 5' . 23o.20' to 6"- 6"- 40'which is ruled
by Mars, signifying that the Dasais of Mars. For calculating Dasa
balance of Mars, deduct the longitude of the Moon from the
longitude where Chitra ends.
6..6o. 40-- 6". So.24.=76'.
Span of a Nakshatrais 13o-20'= 800'.

I The last Bhukti in Mars Dasa is of the Moon of 7 months
iduration.It meansthat29 daysof the Sun'sBhukti was alsothere
to be experienced.Therefore the native was born under Mars
Dasa and Sun Bhukti.
i The same rule of proportion can be used to calculate the
lPratyantaraor sub-sub period. Like Bhukti or Antardasa the first
Pratyantarais of the Bhukti lord.
i For example,we want to calculatePratyantaraof Mars in 7
imonths Bhukti of the Moon in Mars Dasa.The Pratvantaraof
Mars is-
7 7w7
7 months = months = 12 daysand 6 hrs.

Pratyantara
is 7 monthsi.e., months.Likwisewe

cancalculateotherPratyantaras

. Other Method- ,
An other method to calculatePratyantarais to convert the
Bhukti into days and multiply thesedays by the years allotted
to Pratyantaralord in Dasas.Take half of the result. It will be
ghatis of Pratyantara.
For example,we want to calculatePratyantaraof Rahu in
Mars Dasaand Mars Bhukti.
Mars Bhukti = 7 x 7 = 4.9 months ='L47 days.
