โหราศาสตร์พระเวท(ภารตะ)

ADHYAYA 1 - PADA 3


SU. 1.-Atha padam. Results based on Pada Lagna will be described in
this chapter.

NOTES In Sutra 29 of the First Pada Jaimini has clearly illustrated
the meaning of Pada or Arudha Lagna. In this chapter he will give the
results of planets occupying from Pada Lagna. In the previous chapter
he gave the results of planets in Swamsa and Karakamsa. Remember
Karaka always has been used for Atmakaraka.


SU. 2.- yyaye sagrahe grahadrishteva sreemantaha. If the 11 th house
from Pada Lagna is occupied or aspected by planets, the person becomes
a sreemanta or a wealthy man. Take an example. Here the lord of Lagna
is Sukra and he is placed in the 8th house from Lagna. The eighth from
Sukra becomes Pada or Arudha Lagna and this falls in Kataka the 8th
from Sukra. The I 1 th from Kataka is Vrishabha and this is aspected
by Kuja and Ketu and therefore the person will be in affluent
circumstances. The term sreemanta applies to one who has not seen
poverty from birth to death.

SU. 3. -Shubhairnyayallabhaha. When the 11th from Pada is aspected or
joined by benefics the wealth will come from proper channels. The
gains will be from fair and lawful means.

SU. 4. - Papairamargena. If the aspecting or joining planets in the
above are evil, the wealth will come through sinful and illegal means.

NOTES Unfortunately we have seven evil and only two good planets.


SU. 5. - Ucchadibhirviseshath. If the 11th from Arudha Lagna is well
combined and aspected by benefics or those in exaltation, moola=
thrikona, etc., the person will acquire plenty of wealth through
justifiable means.

NOTES Here Uccha has two significations. U 0, Cha 6 = 06 reading
reversely we get 60, divided by 12, the balance will be 12. Uccha also
means, the planets in exaltations, etc. When the planets aspecting the
11 th or joining it are exalted, in good Vargas, in Moolathrikona, or
in their own houses and are benefics in nature, the wealth will come
in plenty and will always be legally and rightly acquired but when
such planets are malefics, the person will get riches on a large
scale, but through unfair and illegal manner. In both cases he will be
rich but in the case of benefics he will be a good man and will earn
money honestly and by labour. In the case of evil planets, the wealth
will be thoroughly ill-gotten and criminal. These Yogas will occur
when the 12th house is not aspected by any planet.


SU. 6.-Neeche grahadrigyogadwayadhikyam. If there are planets in the
12th house from Lagna, or Pada Lagna, the person will spend more than
he earns,

NOTES Na 0, Cha means 6 = 06 reversing we get 60, divided by 12, the
balance is 12, and the 12th house is indicated. If evil planets occupy
the 12th, the expenditure will be on immoral and sinful deeds. If
there are benefics in the 12th, the expenditure will be on charitable
and religious purposes such as building temples or places of worship,
tanks, wells, charitable institutions and helping the poor and the
distressed. But when the planets are bad the expenditure will be on
drinking, whoring, gambling, unjust litigation and other sinful
actions. .


SU. 7.--Ravirahusukrairnrupath. If Ravi, Rahu and Sukra occupy or
aspect the 12th from Lagna or Pada Lagna, the person will lose money
through kingly displeasure or fines and confiscations.

SU. 8.-Chandradrishtau nischayena. If in the combination in Sutra 7
there is the aspect of Chandra, the losses will certainly occur
through governing bodies:

SU. 9.-Budhena gnathitho vivadadwa. If Budha occupies the 12th house
from Pada or Lagna or aspects it, there will be losses from cousins,
relations and litigations.

SU. 10.-Guruna karamoola th. If Guru joins or aspects the 12th from
Pada Lagna or Lagna, the man loses money by paying heavy government
taxes.

SU. 11.-Kujasanibhyam bhratrumukhat. If the 12th from Lagna or Pada
Lagna is joined or aspected by Kuja and Sani, the person will suffer
losses through brothers.

SU. 12.-A etairvyaya aevam labhaha. The results have been given for
the 12th house from Lagna or Pada Lagna and the various sources of
losses have been indicated. If those planets are in the 11th house,
then instead of losing money he will gain money through those sources
which have been shown to the credit of planets. If the planets are in
the 12th house, he will lose money ; if they are in the 11th house, he
will gain.

SU. 13. --Labhe rahuKetubhyamudararogaha. If the 7th house from Pada
has conjunction or aspect of Rah u or Ketu, th e person suffers from
stomach diseases.

SU. 14.--Tatra Ketuna jhatithi jyanilingani. If Ketu occupies the 2nd
house from Pada Lsgna, the person will display signs of old age.
though he may be young in years. He will show wrinkles beyond his
proper age. If in the 6th house from Pada Lagna evil planets combine,
he will become a thief. If the 2nd and 6th from Pada Lagna are
occupied by benefics without evil aspects, the person will be a
governor of many countries.

SU. 15. -Chandragurusukreshtt sreemantaha. If Chandra, Guru or Sukra
occupy the 2nd from Pada Lagna, he will become a rich man. Here all
these planets may be in the second or any one of them.

SU. 16.- Uchhena va. If the evil or good planets are in the second
house from Pada in exaltation; the person becomes rich.

NOTES It has already shown if the exalted planet is a benefic, the
person acquires wealth. by lawful means but if an evil planet is in
the second exalted, the person becomes rich through unlawful and
sinful ways.


SU. 17.-Svamsavadanyatprayena. All the results explained in the above
sutras will have application and reference as they have had in the
Karakamsa.

SU. 18.-Lnbhapade kendre thrikone va sreeman taha. If the Arudha Lagna
falls in the 7th from Janma Lagna or Karakamsa or in the Kendras or
Konas the person becomes extremely rich.

SU. 19.-Anyatha dusthe. If the Arudha Lagna does not fall in Kendra or
Thrikona from Lagna but falls in Dusthas 6, 8 and 12, . the results
will be bad.

NOTES That is instead of becoming a sreemanta the person becomes a
poor man. They are called Dusthas or Dusthanas or bad places.


SU. 20.-Kendrathrikonopachayeshu dwayormaitree. . . If the
Saptamarudha falls in Kendras, Thrikonas or the Upachayas from Janma
Lagna, excepting the 6th which is classified as a Dusthana, there will
be great agreement between the wife and the husband.

NOTES The couple will lead an agreeable life. A good wife is Heaven on
Earth. A bad one is Hell on Earth.


SU. 21. -Ripurogachintasti vairam, If the Arudha Bhavas fall in 6, .8
and 12 from Lagna, they denote evils to such Bhavas.

NOTES Ra 2, Pa 1-21=12 Ra 2, Ga 3 = 23 = 32, divided by 12 we get 8.
Cha 6, Ta 6 - 66, divided by 12 we get 6 balance.


SU. 22.--Patneelabhayordishtya nirabhasargalaya. If the Arudha Lagna
and the 7th from it have no obstructive Argalas, the person becomes
fortunate.

NOTES Pa 1, Na 0 -10, reversed it is 01, or it describes the first
house. La 3, Bha 4 = 34 reversed we get 43, divided by 12, we get a
balance of 7. For subha and papa Argalas see my NOTES on Sutras 5 to 9
in Pada 1 of Adhyaya 1.


SU. 23.-Shtibhargale dhanasamriddhihi. If Arudha Lagna and the 7th
from it have beneficial Argalas, there will be plenty of money. .

NOTES If the Argala happens to be malicious, there will be ordinary
wealth. If there is a mixture of subha and papa Argalas, the person
will have financial ups and downs or he will be tossed from wealth to
poverty and from poverty to wealth.


SU. 24.-Janmakalaghatikaswekadrishtasu rajanaha. If a planet aspects
Hora Lagna, Ghatika Lagna and Janma Lagna, the person becomes a ruler
or one equal to him.

NOTES For an explanation of these various Lagnas see Sutra 32 of 1st
Pada. What is meant here is that if one planet aspects all these three
different Lagnas at the same time, the person attains to eminent
position ; if not he will become a King. In some places Ministers are
more powerful than Kings.


SU. 25.-Patneelabhayoscha rasyamsakadrikanairva. If Chandra Lagna,
Navamsa Lagna, Drekkana Lagna and the 7th houses from these three are
aspected by one planet, the person becomes a great ruler or a
Maharaja.

NOTES Some old commentators observe thus : If one has connection,
conjunction or aspect, with Lagna, the 7th from it, Chandra Lagna,
Navamsa Lagna and Drekkana Lagna, the person becomes a Maharaja or a
great powerful ruler.


SU. 26.-Theshwekasminnyune nyunam. If out of the 6 Lagnas, viz.,
Lagna, Ghatika Lagna, Hora Lagna, Chandra Lagna, Navamsa Lagna and
Drekkana Lagna- one planet sees five and not all the six, the person
will have ordinary Rajayoga.

NOTES This combination occurs only in real Rajayogas or royal
combinations. If an exalted. planet occupies the Arudha Lagna or
Chandra, Guru and Sukra are there and evil obstructive Argalas are not
there, while, where there are beneficial Argalas, the person will
attain to royal position.


SU. 27. -Evamamsa to drikanatascha. If the Navamsa, Hora and Ghatika
Lagnas or Drekkana, Hora and Ghatika Lagnas are aspected by one
planet, there will be Rajayoga.

NOTES Some commentators are of opinion that 2.5 ghatis exactly in the
middle of the Day and the Night are auspicious and such times produce
Kings and their equals. The mid-day goes under the name of Abhijit and
is considered as very auspicious for all work. It cuts away all evils.
Abhijit sarva doshghnam.


SU. 28.-Sukrachandrayormitho drishtayoh simhasthayorva yanavantaha. It
Sukra and Chandra aspect each other or if they are in the 3rd house
from each other, the person will be blessed with various conveyances.

NOTES Simha means 3, Sa denotes 7, Ha shows 8 = 78, reversed 87,
divided by 12, gives 3 as remainder.


SU. 29.-SukrakujaKetushu vaithanikaha. If Sukra, Kuja and Ketu have
mutual aspects or if they are in the 3rd house from each other the
person will , have aristocratic surroundings from his ancestors.

NOTES He will belong to an old and respectable family which has royal
traditions and marks of honour. Some commentators say that the person
will be proficient in all the details of religious sacrifices.


SU. 30.-Swabhagyadaramatrubhavasameshu subheshu rajanaha. If the 2nd,
4th and 5th Bhavas become equal to the Karaka or if benefics occupy
them, the person becomes a Raja or his equal in position.

NOTES We have de facto and de jure rulers. We have Karakas for all
events. The Bhavas and planets have to be taken with reference to the
various Karakas or lords of events. Some commentators interpret Bhava
in the above Sutra as Bha 4 and Va 4 = 44, divided, by 12 will give us
the remainder as 8. They say that if the 2nd and 4th houses from the
Karaka are equal or if benefics occupy them or if the 5th and 8th
houses are equal or have beneficial planets in them, there will be
Rajayoga.


SU. 31.--Karmadusayoh papayoscha. If the 3rd and 6th houses from
Atmakaraka are equal or if they are joined by malefics, there will be
Rajayogas.

NOTES Ka 1, Ma 5 =15, reversed 51, divided by 12, the balance Da 8, Sa
7 = 87, reversed 78, divided by 12, we have a balance of 6. When he
says equal he means that the sources of strength and weakness must
balance equally.


SU. 32.-Pitnulabhadhipaschaivam. If from the lords of Lagna. or 7th
benefics occupy the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th, there will be Rajayogas.

NOTES Jaimini confuses his readers, unless they happen to be very
intelligent, by referring to Lagna, Pada Lagna, Ghatika, Hora Lagna,
Atmakarakamsa and other amsas and unless we have able commentaries,
the readers will be launched in a rough sea doubts. Pitu, Pa 1, Ta 6
=16, reversing we get 61, and divided by 12, we have the first house
or Lagna. Labha 7, La 3, Bha 4 - 34, reversed, we have 43, divided by
12, we have a balance of 7 ; therefore the 7th house from Lagna is
indicated.


SU. 33.-Misre samaha. If there is a mixture of benefics and malefics
in the above combination, the person will attain to ordinary
positions.

SU. 34.-Daridro vipareethe. If evil planets occupy beneficial signs
and benefics evil signs, the person will be poor.

SU. 35. -Matari gttrow sukre chandre va rajakeeyaha. If to the lord of
Lagna or to the lord of 7th, the 5th house is occupied by Guru, Sukra
or Chandra, the person becomes a high Government official and wields
political powers.

SU. 36.-Karmani dase va pape senanyaha. If evil planets occupy the 3rd
and 6th from the lords of Lagna or the lord of the 7th, the person
becomes a military commander.

NOTES Karmani 3, Dasa 6. Ka 1, Ma 5 -15, reversed we have 51, divided
by 12 we have the remainder 3. Da 1, Sa is 7 - 87, reading backward we
have 78, divided by 12 we get the balance 6. Commanders often lead
their victorious armies against their employers and become rulers
themselves. Hyder, Napoleon, Shivaji, Hindenberg, Wellington and
others became rulers.


SU. 37.-Swapitrubhyam karmadasasthadrishtya tadeesadrishtya
matrtunathadrishtya cha dheemantaha. If the lords of the 3rd and 6th
from Lagna and Atmakaraka aspect the latter or if the planets in those
houses aspect them and if the lord of the 5th aspect them, the person
becomes extremely intelligent.

NOTES Pitru 1, Swa 1, Karma 3, Dasa 5, Matru 6. These have already
been explained in Ka, Ta, Pa, Yadi Sutra rules.


SU. 38.-Daresadrishtya sukhinaha. If Lagna and Karaka Lagna have the
aspect of the lord of the 4th, the person will be happy.

NOTES Dara 4. Happiness, it must be remembered, does not entirely
depend upon position or wealth. There are some people who are
extremely rich and powerful, but they are most miserable. There are
some who are very ordinary but who are perfectly happy. Physical and
mental conditions have great deal to do with happiness and specially
some temperaments have the knack of making themselves agreeable
alround and create happiness for themselves.


SU. 39.-Rogesadrishtya daridraha. If the lord of the 8th from Lagna
and Karaka Lagna aspect them, the person suffers from poverty.

NOTES Roga 8, Ra 2, Ga 3 = 23, reversed 32, divided by 12 we have
balance 8.


SU. 40.-Ripunathadrislitya vyayaseelaha. If the lord of the 12th from
Lagna and Karaka Lagna aspect them, then the person becomes a
spendthrift or extravagant.

SU. 41. - Swamidrishtya prabalaha. If the lord of Lagna aspects the
Lagna and if the lord of the Karaka Lagna aspects that Lagna, the
person will have very good Rajayogas.

SU. 42.-Pacshadripubhagyayorgrahasamye bandhah konayo ripujayayoho
keetayugmayordarariphcyoscha. If from Lagna-the 2nd and 12th or 5th or
9th or 12th and 6th or 4th and 10th have the same number of planets
posited, the person will be imprisoned.

NOTES This seems to be the longest Sutra I have had to deal since the
commencement of this work and it requires a clear explanation. If any
of these have Grahasamya then Ripu-12 the person will have chains'
beating imprisonment and the displeasure of the Bhagya- governing
authorities. If there is one planet in the 2nd, there must be one
Konayoho 5 and 9 planet in the 12th. If there are 2 planets in the 2nd
the twelfth also must have Ripu-12 2 planets. If there are 3 planets
in the 5th, there must also be 3 in the 9th. Jaya-6 This is Grahasamya
or equality in the number of planets. If there are evil Dara-4
combinations or aspects for these houses or for their lords, the
punishments are Ripha-10 certain and the man will suffer.

If there are good planetary combinations or Kita-11 aspects for these
houses or their lords, the person will have trials and troubles Yugma-
3 and prosecutions, but will be let off after trials and persecutions.
Here five sets of houses have been named and the presence of planets,
in each set, of equal number in each of the houses indicate
imprisonments and tortures. But I gather from the commentaries that
when the number of planets is not equal or properly matched, these
troubles may not be indicated.


SU. 43.-Sukradgounapadastho rahuh suryadrishlo netraha. If the 5th
from Arudha Lagna is occupied by Rahu and Ravi aspects him, the person
will lose his sight.

NOTES Sukra 1, Sa means 5, Ra denotes 2 - 52, reversed 25, divided by
12, we have 1, denoting Lagna. Gauna 5, Ga shows 3, Na denotes 5 = 35,
reversed 63, divided by 12, we have the balance of 5, denoting the 5th
house. Each Lagna has its Arudha. Take the 5th in the undergiven
horoscope. Here the 5th is Kataka. Its lord is in the 11 th from the
5th. The 11 th from Chandra falls in Meena and if I understand the
sutra properly, it means the fifth Arudha falls in Meena, is occupied
by Rahu and Ravi aspects him, the person will lose his sight.


SU. 44.-Swadaragayoh suk rac_ handrayoratodynm rajachinhani cha. , If
Sukra and Chandra occupy the 4th from Atmakaraka, the person will have
the paraphernalia of royalty, viz., Nagara or drums, Noubhat, music
Chatras umbrellas, Chamaras or tufts of hair-fans which attendants
keep waving about the royal personage and other signs and emblems of
royal state.

NOTES We can easily infer that if Sukra and Chandra in this
combination are exalted, have good conjunctions and aspects, the
person will have these royal insignia on a grand scale and if they are
weak or have evil aspects and conjunctions, the royal paraphernalia
will be on small or poor scale. There are Rajas with a few lakhs and
emperors with many crores. There are Kings and Kings, rulers and
rulers, emperors and all these have different grades and different
insignia. In all these sutras, taking the original commentaries and my
NOTES the readers will see that they have to shift through a lot of
conflicting evidence and confusing principles.

I have tried my best to make the explanations, notes, examples as
clear and convincing as possible. But in spite of all my efforts the
readers may find doubts and difficulties. Here in such cases my sound
advice to them would be that they should read the sutra well twice or
thrice, read the translations I have given and examples by way of
illustrations. And after doing so, if they still have doubts they must
think over well, for a few days, read the previous and the future
stanzas and I may assure them, that suddenly they will hit upon the
correct idea or meaning and their doubts will be solved and fresh and
glorious mental light will flash on their brains.

End of Third Pada of the First Adhyaya
