Ch. 39. Obstructions To RajaYogas
1. Earlier, the Yogas of kinghood have been explained. There can be some factors, which prevent the effects of such Yogas, which I explain in this Ch..
2. Out of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun, if two, or more be in fall and one of them simultaneously be in the Ascendant, as the Moon is in Scorpio, the RajaYogas will become futile.
3. The RajaYogas in the horoscope are only name sake, if the Moon being weak is in the last Navāńśa of a Movable Sign, or in the 8th Navāńśa of a Fixed Sign, or in the first Navāńśa of a Common Sign and is without aspect from any other planet.
4. Same effects will come to pass, if all malefics occupy Angles identical with debilitation/inimical Signs, while benefics are shunted to the 12th, 6th and 8th Houses.
5. If the Ascendant is in Vargothama position without aspect to any planet, the RajaYogas will only be a failure.
6. Even a hundred kingly Yogas will be of no avail, if Aquarius rises, while 3 heavenly bodies are in their Signs of fall.
7. If there is no benefic in an Angle, or with the Moon, while 4 planets are either in fall, or in combustion, or in inimical Signs, the RajaYogas are marred.
8. Should the Sun be in his own Navāńśa, while the Moon is in combustion and in aspect to malefics without the aspect of benefics, the native will enjoy rulership (with the help of other Raja Yogas) only to relinquish the kingdom soon and will become miserable.
9. Should the Moon lend her inimical aspect to the Ascendant Lord, while the Sun, Mars and Saturn are in their order in the 3rd, 6th and 7th, the RajaYogas will become ineffective. Benefics should in this case be not in Angles, but suffer combustion.
10. If five heavenly bodies are in fall at birth the RajaYogas will not come to pass.
11. If meteor, noise of contending winds in the sky (or earth quake, or thunder), Vyatipata, or Upaketu be seen at the time of birth, the good RajaYogas stand nullified.
12. If Trisankhu Nakshatra (Trisankhu was a monarch of the solar race, who remained suspended with his head towards the earth, as a constellation in the southern hemisphere) rises at the time of one's birth, while the Ascendant is occupied by Saturn, as there is fall of a comet, the Raja Yogas do not come to pass.
13. If the planets capable of causing Raja Yoga are inclined to enter in war, or are becoming splendourless, or about to lose their strength, the RajaYogas will stand canceled.
14. If weak Moon is in her deep degree of debilitation the RajaYogas get destroyed, just as a king going against an astrologer.
15. The Sun in the 10th degree of Libra will destroy all RajaYogas, just as miserliness eclipses all the good attributes of a person.
16. This Sloka is repeated in the original. The meaning is identical with that of Sloka 15 above.
17. Even though other planets may be in their Mulatrikona, exaltation, or own Signs, while the Sun is singly in deep fall, the RajaYogas will be unavailable.
18. If Jupiter occupies Capricorn, as Ascendant, while the Moon is not in Cancer, the native will become miserable, just as a penniless lewdster in the place of a courtesan.
19. If in the formation of Kemadruma Yoga, the Moon is without the aspect of another planet, the RajaYogas lose their existence and the native will be devoid of good conduct.
20. If 3, or more planets be in fall even the son of an emperor ruling over the entire earth will take to begging, be miserable, be dirty and penniless.
21. If 5 planets occupy inimical Signs, or are in combustion, while the Sun, or the Moon is not in exaltation, the kingly Yogas will become ineffective.
22. If Venus occupy his debilitation Navāńśa, even a vast kingdom is deprived from the native.
23. RajaYogas have been explained earlier. The combinations marring such kingly states are given in this Ch.. The stronger one of these two will only prevail.
24. RAJA YOGA. The Sun in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio along with Jupiter, as the Moon is in Aries: this configuration will produce a king the dust of whose elephants will darken the-skies.
Thus ends the 39th Ch. entitled “OBSTRUCTIONS TO RAJAYOGAS” In Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 40. Calculation of Longevity
1. The people all over remain perplexed over the question of longevity. So I narrate the relative principles based on the Shastras here under.
2-3. SELECTION OF SYSTEM FOR LONGEVITY COMPUTATION. Out of the triothe Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant, if the Ascendant is the strongest, Amsayurdaya should be resorted to. Pindayu is the best, if the Sun is predominant, while Nisargayu is the apt choice with Moon prevailing. If the three in question are bereft of strength, then Jeevasarma's system can be used.
4. AMSAYURDAYA CALCULATIONS. The longitudes (counted from Aries first point) of the (seven) planets and the Ascendant should be divided by 200 to get the number of years. The quotients in later processes should be multiplied by the respective multipliers to get months, days and Ghatis.
5. ADDITIONS FOR ASCENDANT'S CONTRIBUTION. If the Ascendant is strong the number of years equal to the Rāśis it has traversed should be added. Months etc. thereof should be guessed by rule of three method.
6. RECTIFICATIONS FOR PLANETARY CONTRIBUTIONS. The contribution made by a planet, that is in Vargothama, own Sign, own decanate, or own Navāńśa should be doubled. If it is retrograde, or in exaltation the figure should be trebled.
7. If a planet's contribution gets doubled by virtue of position in own Sign, own decanate etc. (as per Sloka 6 above) and further warrants trebling by virtue of retrogression/exaltation, the trebling should also be done. So say the learned.
8. According to Chudamani Acharya, if a planet is in Angle contributions by each rectification shall be considered. If it is in Panaphara (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) only two multiplications be done. If it is in Apoklima (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th) only one (i.e. the highest) should be taken.
9. According to Varaha Mihira, if many multiplications are warranted, only the highest be considered. But this view is not acceptable to ancestors.
10. REDUCTIONS FOR AMSAYURDAYA CONTRIBUTIONS. If a planet is in its inimical Sign, a third of the earlier (final) figure should only be taken. If it is combust in the Sun, only half need be computed. The contributions by Venus and Saturn do not suffer reductions on account of their combustion.
11-12. VYAYADI (CHAKRARDHA) HARANA. A malefic in the 12th loses all his contribution. If in the 11th half, in the 10th a third, in the 9th a fourth, in the 8th one fifth and in the 7th one sixth of the contribution suffers. Benefics in these places lose just half of what malefics lose. Further, if there are two, or more planets in one and the same House, only the strongest suffers reduction.
13-15. PINDAYU. In this system the planets from the Sun onwards through Saturn contribute, respectively, 19, 25, 15, 12, 15, 21 and 20 in their order, when they are in (deep) exaltation. From the longitude of the planet (for which the contribution is being computed) deduct its highest exaltation degree (counted from Aries first point). In case the minuend is greater than the subtrahend, then increase the former by 12 Signs i.e. 360 degrees). Multiply the latest product by the number of years allotted for the planet and divide by 12 to get years. Dividers for months equal to Amsas (or degrees i e. 30) and for days Vikalas (i.e. 60).
16. In the case of Pindayurdaya also the same multiplications and rectifications apply. Leaving aside a retrograde planet, one in inimical Sign loses a third, while the one in fall retains only half of the contribution. The planet in exaltation retains the entire contribution.
17. ASCENDANTAL CONTRIBUTION IN PINDAYURDAYA. If the Navāńśa Lagna Lord is strong, then the years contributed will equal the Navāńśas past, If, however, the Lagna Rāśi Lord is stronger, then the Rāśis past up to Lagna (counted from Aries) will be the number of years.
18-19. REDUCTION FOR RISING PLANETS. If malefics occupy the Ascendant, convert the Ascendant into degrees, minutes etc. Multiply this by the number of years contributed by the malefics in question. Then divide the product by 21,600. Respective products should be reduced from the earlier contributions of each of the malefics occupying the Ascendant. (This will be the net contribution by each malefic in case he occupies the Ascendant). If the malefics in Ascendant are aspected by the benefics suffice it to say half of the reduction need only be done.
20. NISARGA YURDAYA. In the Nisargayu scheme, the planets from the Sun to Saturn contribute 20, 1, 2, 9, 18, 20 and 50, respectively.
21. FULL SPAN OF LIFE. The full span of life (120 years and 5 days) will be enjoyed by the native, who has Pisces Ascendant with its 9th Navāńśa and Mercury in 25 degrees of Taurus, while others are in their deep exaltation points.
22. UNLIMITED LONGEVITY. Jupiter along with the Moon in Cancer identical with the Ascendant, Mercury with Venus in an Angle (or separately in Angles), while the rest are in the 3rd, 6th and 11th: One with this combination will enjoy a limitless life span.
23-24. SPAN OF FULL LIFE FOR VARIOUS ANIMALS. The full span of life of elephants and men are 120 years and 5 days. For horses it is 32 years, for goats etc. 16 years, for camels and donkeys 25 years, for cows and buffaloes 24 years and for dogs 12 years. Just as for the mankind, the longevity for the various animals can be computed. The computations should be done, as explained supra, multiplied by the figure representing full life span and divided by 120.
25. Only those, who consume wholesome diet, those, who are virtuous, those, who have good conduct and those, who conquer their senses will enjoy the longevity, as laid down by the sages.
Thus ends the 40th Ch. entitled “LONGEVITY CALCULATION” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 41. Moola Dasa
1. The Dasa duration of a planet is equal to the number of years it contributes (as per Moola Dasa scheme). All planets yield in their Dasas pleasant, or unpleasant results according to their (natal) dispositions.
2. ORDER OF THE SCHEME. According to Manitha, those, who are born during day time will have the Dasas commencing with that of the Sun, while the night-born will have it from that of Venus. But this view is not acceptable to other preceptors.
3. SATYA'S VIEW. The first Dasa will be of the strongest of the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon followed by the ones in Angle, Panaphara and Apoklima. This is the view held by Satyacharya.
4-5. The first Dasa will be of the strongest of the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon. Then the planets in Angles will be Dasa Lords. Thereafter the planets in Panapharas (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th Houses) will lord over the major periods, while the last Dasas will be headed by the planets posited in Apoklimas (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th Houses). If Angles etc. are occupied by more than one planet, the strongest will have its Dasa first. Even, if the strengths of these be identical, then the order will be according to maximum years donated by these planets Granting, that these durations are also similar, then the risings of planets will prevail, Even, if one of the triad, viz. the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon, is strong, then Satya's scheme, as above should be resorted to. If none is strong enough, then the Dasa scheme of other preceptors may be considered.
6. AUSPICIOUS PERIODS. Planets in exaltation, own Rāśi, own Navāńśa, friendly Sign, possessing full rays and those with full strength prove auspicious in their Dasas. At the commencement of a Dasa a planet, that is strong, or is in a friendly division, or is in aspect to a benefic will also yield similar good results.
7. INAUSPICIOUS PERIODS. The planet, that is in its Sign of fall, Sign ruled by an enemy, Navāńśa of an enemy, combust in the Sun, devoid of splendour, or is in aspect to malefics will yield inauspicious effects in its Dasa.
8. If a planet has departed from its exaltation, its Dasa is known, as Avarohini (stepping down) Dasa. If, however, it is in own, or friendly divisions, the effects will be medium, i.e. neither good nor bad. The Dasa of a planet approaching its exaltation, departing from debilitation, is known, as Arohini (climbing) Dasa. If the said planet is in inimical, or debilitation divisions, it will inflict difficulties.
9. The Sun is the ripener (or baker) of the effects of a Dasa, while the Moon is the sustaining agent. That is why the Moon's transit position at the time of the commencement of a Dasa should be duly considered.
10-14. EFFECTS OF THE MOON. If the Moon at the commencement of a Moola Dasa is in Virgo, the native throughout the period will be related to courtesans and be associated with them. This view is held by Yavanas. If she is in Cancer at the beginning of Dasa, the native will gain wealth through virtuous ladies. If in Aries, or in Scorpio he will injure the honour of virgins and also bring evils to his own female. If the Sign in question be of Mercury knowledge of Shastras and acquisition of friends will come to pass. In a Sign of Venus, it brings plenty of food and drinks, happiness and destruction of enemies. In a House of Jupiter, it brings happiness, wealth, honour and commandability. Saturn's Sign endows with association with old ladies. Leo denotes movements in forts and forests, agriculture and misunderstanding with wife and children. These are the effects accruing out of the Moon's placement at the commencement of a Dasa.
15. ASPECTS TO MOON AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF A DASA. If the Moon at the commencement of a Dasa receives the aspect of Mars, or Saturn there will be loss of relatives and of wealth followed by diseases. Mercury's aspect confers learning, while the aspects of other planets will give effects according to their nature.
16. MAJOR LORD'S PLACEMENT AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF A DASA. If the Lord of the Dasa is in the Ascendant prevailing at the moment the Dasa begins, or in the 3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th from the said Ascendant, the Dasa then proves excellent.
17-18. AGAIN MOON'S PLACEMENT. If the Moon at the commencement of a major period occupy a friendly Sign, exaltation Sign, or an Upachaya House (3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th House), 5th, 9th, or 7th counted from the major Lord, good effects will come to pass in the Dasa in question. If the Moon is otherwise placed, even a planet in exaltation at birth will give inauspicious results in its Dasa.
19. SPECIAL EFFECTS BASED ON NAVĀŃŚA. Even though a planet may be in friendly Sign, if it occupies simultaneously a Navāńśa belonging to its enemy, or be in fall in Navāńśa, the effects in the Dasa concerned will be mixed. A weak planet's Dasa will be futile.
20. LAGNA DASA. The Ascendant's major period will prove auspicious, if it is in the first decanate of a Movable Sign; medium in the second decanate and poor in the 3rd decanate. The reverse is true with a Common Sign ascending, i e. third, second and first decanate will, respectively, be auspicious, medium and poor. As for a Fixed Sign ascending first, second and third decanates will, respectively, give poor, auspicious and medium effects.
21. NAISARGIKA DASA. The Naisargika Dasa follows in the order of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, the Sun, Saturn and the Ascendant.
22-24. If the planet is exalted, or is endowed with temporal strength, or full strength, in its Dasa incomparably auspicious results will come to pass. The planet, that is in its own Sign, Moolatrikona Sign, own Navāńśa, or hemmed between benefics will yield moderately auspicious effects. The planet, that is going towards its exaltation (departing from Sign of its fall), or is placed in friendly Signs etc., feebly auspicious effects will be felt. Similar deductions should be made in regard to planets otherwise placed.
25-26. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE SUN'S DASA. If the Sun is favourable, in his Dasa, there will be gains from forests, medicines, travels, poison, evil friendship, forests, ivory, skin, fire and royal association. Courage, diligence, intelligence, fame and valour will be on the increase. Excellence and kingship will be achieved by the native.
27-28. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE SUN'S DASA. If the Sun is adverse, in his Dasa there will be grief on account of servants, wealth, theft, eyes, weapons, fire, water and king and the native will be tormented by children, wife and relatives He will be interested in sinful acts and be troubled by hunger, thirst (or morbid fever), heart ailments, bilious diseases and bodily damages.
29-30½. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MOON'S DASA. If the Moon is favourable, in her Dasa there will be gains through female association, soft disposition, journey, water, ice, milk, juice, jaggery, sugar, sports, initiation into Mantras through Brahmins, flowers, robes, sweet food etc. He will achieve success in his undertakings out of his intelligence, will receive honours from elders and the king and will be endowed with increased courage and wisdom.
31-32. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MOON'S DASA. If the Moon is evil, in her Dasa there will be fear in family, misunderstanding with one's family members, difficulties, loss of wealth, enmity with royal assembly, sleep, indolence, evils through women and grief.
33-34. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MARS DASA. During the Dasa of favourable Mars, one will gain through kings, fire, thieves, enemies, snakes, poison, weapons, confinements, fictitious articles, lands, goats, buffaloes, copper, gold, prostitutes, gambling, intoxicants, pungent articles/juices, wealth and grains.
35-36 EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MARS DASA. During the Dasa of evil Mars, there will be enmity with friends, wife, children and brothers, sufferances from thirst, swooning, bloody defects, loss of limbs and wounds. There will be attachment to others' wives and irreligious acts, followed by aversion to elders and to truth. Bilious excesses will trouble the subject.
37-39. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MERCURY DASA. In the Dasa of favourable Mercury, there will be gains via friends, children, wealth, king, businessmen, priests, gambling etc. The native will acquire horses, lands, gold, fame, ambassadorship, limitless happiness, fortunes, high intelligence, fame, success in religious activities, fond of amusement, destruction of foes and enthusiasm in mathematics and drawings.
40. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MERCURY S DASA. If Mercury is evil, in the concerned Dasa the native will be tormented by imbalances of the three temperaments (viz. bile, phlegm and wind), hard disposition, imprisonment, mental grief and excitement.
41-43. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE JUPITER'S DASA. If Jupiter is favourable, the native in that Dasa will gain through ministers (or advisers), kings, dances and states manship. He will gain honours, virtues, courage, wide friend ship, life partner, gold, quadrupeds, conveyances, auspicious acts, destruction of enemies, royal acquiantance and will obtain wealth through public, king, businessmen and elders.
44. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE JUPITER'S DASA. If Jupiter be inauspicious one will in such Dasa have physical defects, excessive grief, lameness, diseases of the stomach and ears, loss of semen and marrow and fear from kings.
45-46. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE VENUS DASA. If Venus is auspicious one will in the Dasa be successful and will gain lands, residences, bed comforts, wife, garlands, robes, good food, fame, happiness and treasure. He will have liking for music, will develop acqaintance with females, will gain through kings and lands, will derive wisdom, desired happiness and friends and gains through articles used for sexual enjoyments.
47. EFFECTS OF UNFAVORABLE VENUS DASA. If Venus is inauspicious the native will in the Dasa have litigations with virtuous people, will have troubles from conveyances, furniture, females and kings and will develop intimacy with unsocial elements.
48-49. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE SATURN'S DASA. If Saturn is favourable in his Dasa the native will gain camels, asses etc., association with unchaste, or old ladies, gain through pulses, sesamum and grains eaten by poor people, leadership over villages and iron etc. His people will acquire a permanent position.
50-51. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE SATURN'S DASA. If Saturn is adverse, there will be loss of conveyances, excitement, enmity, separation from wife and other family members, loss in battles, liking for intoxicants and gambling, windy diseases, loss of meritorious acts, confinement, lassitude, affliction to limbs and enmity with children and servants.
52. The good and bad effects for the Dasas have been explained above in a general manner. Narrated below are the effects arising out of special considerations.
53. SUN'S DASA. There are five kinds of placements, which enable us to derive five different types of Sun's Dasa. These positions are: exaltation, fall, Moolatrikona, Angle and enemy's Sign.
54-59. The Sun in Ascendant gives kingdom during his Dasa; while posited in other Kendras ruled by inimical planets there will be disorders of hip, throat and eyes. Debilitated Sun in his Dasa causes destruction of eyes, fever and head disorders, confinement, leprosy and other disorders. If the Sun is exalted, there will be gain of kingdom with royal insignia in such Dasa. Apart, there will be acquisition of elephants, steeds etc. The Dasa of the Sun placed in his Moolatrikona will indicate destruction of all kinds of miseries and leadership of large provinces. In the Dasa of the Sun placed in inimical Sign, one will incur affliction of eyes, hump-back, disorders caused by fire, facial diseases and humiliation due to misconduct. The 8th House placement of the Sun will cause in his Dasa affliction to the entire body and wanderings in various countries.
60-65. MOON'S DASA. The Moon's Dasa is generally differentiated in six categories, viz. exalted, debilitated, friendly Sign, inimical Sign and diminishing and increasing Moon's Dasas. The different dignities of the Moon give following results in the Dasa concerned: exaltedkingdom, debilitated death, inimical Sign confinement, friendly Sign association with own men, decreasing Moon fever and disorders of abdomen, head and eyes. If the Moon is full and is endowed with strength, in such Dasa the native will be surrounded by thousands of superior females. If she be relegated to the 8th House, the native in such Dasa will be humiliated by his own men, will live through machinery, grass, firewood, cowdung, bamboo, medicinal plants, fruits and water. He will acquire only deteriorated food and rags and even a king will have to resort to servitude.
66-68. OTHER PLACEMENT OF PLANETS. Those exalted in the Ascendant confer rulership of a province in their Dasas, while those in exaltation in other Angles will bestow, wealth, conveyances and rulership of a country. If a planet is in the 6th, the native will be subjected to evils, misfortunes etc. In the Dasa of a planet placed in the 8th, death will be inflicted. There will only be confinement in the Dasa of a combust planet. The Dasa of a retrograde planet will cause wanderings, like that of a wheel, evils and enmity. This applies only to malefics in retrogression, but not to benefics.
69. Though one may be a king, he will become a servant of his own servants in the Dasas of a planet devoid of strength, a planet totally devoid of strength, a planet in fall, a planet in deep fall, a planet in inimical Sign and a planet in dead enemy's.
70. In the Dasa of a planet placed in enemy's Sign, there will be circumstances to leave one's own country (in distress), diseases, loss of position, frequent quarrels and confinement.
71. Even a king with vast number of elephants, that can wet the earth with their ichor, will surely wander in difficulty in the Dasa of a planet occupying an inimical Sign.
72-73. In the Dasas of the planets placed in the 6th, 5th, 9th, or 7th Houses identical with inimical Signs, there will be troubles to limbs and secondary limbs (like the nose), while the Dasa of the planet in the 8th House identical with its inimical House will cause beheading (or afflictions to head), fear from enemies, wanderings in foreign places, troubles of confinement, diseases etc. If the Dasa of a planet, that is in fall be in operation humiliation from royal sources will follow.
74. The Native will derive (good) effects of a weak planet's Dasa in dreams and thoughts. The effects due to Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas will come to pass in the Dasas of the concerned planets.
75. The planets in Seershodaya Signs will give their effects in the beginning of the Dasas; those in Ubhayodaya will give in the middle of the Dasas effects due to them and those in Prishtodaya Signs as well, as those in fall will reveal their effects in the concluding parts of their Dasas.
Thus ends the 41st Ch. entitled “MOOLA DASA” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 42. Effects Of Sub Periods
1. DISTRIBUTION OF SUB PERIODS TO PLANETS IN MOOLA DASA. A planet, that is conjunct the Dasa Lord will subrule half of the period. The subrulership further goes to planets, as under: one third to that in the 5th/9th from the Dasa Lord; one seventh to that in the 7th from the Dasa Lord and one fourth to that in the 4th/8th with reference to Dasa Lord.
2-3. The sub-Lords will ripen the sub-period effects according to their own nature. Should there be more than one planet in the Houses specified above, the strongest of them will rule over the sub period (and not others). The sub periods of benefics will yield benefic results, while those of malefics will give inauspicious effects. According to some authorities, planets in Angles will first lord over the sub-periods followed by those in Panaphara (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) and Apoklima (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th)
4. According to Satyacharya, the sub periods will rule according to the orders of strength in case there is more than one planet in one House.
5. Take the fractions (as mentioned in Sloka 1) and reduce them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Add up the aliquot parts of the Dasa representative of the various numerators leaving out the denominators. The sub periods will be arrived at, when the various aliquots are converted into years within the main Dasa and divided by a common factor.
6-7. Planets, that are conjunct the major Lord will cause confinement and loss of wealth in their sub periods. If, however, the major Lord is in an Angle, or in a Trine from the Ascendant, there will be great happiness. If a planet conjunct 2, or more planets be in an inimical House, in such sub period, only diseases, evils, quarrels and royal displeasures will come to pass.
8. In the sub period of a planet in the 7th from the Mooladasa Lord, death of wife, or the wife's becoming a servant of an enemy, or getting attached to another man is denoted.
9-10. Death, destruction of wealth, or imprisonment will result in the sub period of the planet in the 8th from the Moola Dasa Lord. If 2, or 3, or 4 malefics join in one House other than an Angle, or a Trine, imprisonment, destruction and poverty will be the order of the sub period.

If a planet is combust, during such planet's period, one will have a dirty body and will incur destruction of wealth, happiness, valour, beauty and enthusiasm. In the Dasa of planets inimical to Ascendant Lord, or to the Moon Sign Lord, one will be very foolish, will be deprived of kingdom, will be insulted by enemies and will depend on others.
58. The planet, that is close to the 10th cusp will confer kingdom. If there is none in the 10th, the strongest of the planets will give the said effect.

In the Dasa of a planet, that is inimical to Ascendant Lord and in the sub period of the Ascendant Lord himself, there may be death, according to Satya.
Thus ends the 43rd Ch. entitled “EVIL EFFECTS OF DASAS” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 44. Antidotes For Evils Of Dasas
1-3. If at the time of commencement of a Dasa, even, if one planet occupies the divisions of a benefic, or of an intimate friend and is aspected by a benefic, the evils due to come out of the said Dasa will disappear. If the Lord of the Dasa is not strong enough to cause evil, while the planet functioning, as an antidote (as stated in the previous Sloka) is stronger, the evils are then surely destroyed. Even, if a single planet occupies its exaltation Sign, Moolatrikona Sign, or own Sign and is aspected by a benefic, or is conjunct a benefic, at the start of a Dasa the evils of the Dasa are nullified.
Thus ends the 44th Ch. entitled “ANTIDOTES FOR EVILS OF DASAS” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.

Thus ends the 45th Ch. entitled “EFFECTS OF PLANETARY DIGNITIES” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 46. Female Horoscopy
l. Whatever horoscopic effects have been stated for males are equally applicable to females too. Explained in this Ch. are rules peculiar to the fair sex.
2. IMPORTANT HOUSES. From the 8th House, her widowhood can be deduced, while the Ascendant deals with her physique, the 7th House with her husband's good fortunes and the 5th House with her offspring.
3-4. THE MOON AND ASCENDANT. If the Moon and the Ascendant are both disposed in even Signs, the female will be virtuous and extremely good-looking. Should these two be in aspect to auspicious planets, she will be endowed with ornaments and virtues. In case these two occupy odd Signs, she will be akin to a male in appearance and in disposition. With these two receiving aspects of malefics, she will be sinful and bereft of virtues.
5. TRIMSAMSA POSITIONS. Note the stronger of the Moon and the Ascendant. Whoever of the two is placed in the Trimsamsa of Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, or Saturn, such effects will come to pass, (as detailed below).
6-10½. EFFECTS OF THE MOON/ASCENDANT IN VARIOUS TRIMSAMSAS. If it is a Sign owned by Mars, the Trimsamsa of Mars denotes a harlot, that of Venus a female devoid of virtuous history, that of Mercury one with cunning disposition, that of Jupiter a chaste lady and that of Saturn one in servitude. Should a Sign of Mercury house the Moon/the Ascendant in the Trimsamsa of Mars, the female will be cunning, in the Trimsamsa of Venus one with high degree of lust, in the Trimsamsa of Mercury a chaste girl, in the Trimsamsa of Jupiter a virtuous housewife and in that of Saturn impotent. If it is a Sign of Venus, the Trimsamsa of Mars denotes a female with wicked nature, Venusian Trimsamsa one with fame for her virtues, Mercurian Trimsamsa skillful, Jupiterian Trimsamsa a virtuous female and Saturn's Trimsamsa a woman given in marriage, as a second wife. In the Sign owned by the Moon the Trimsamsa of Mars bestows her freedom not due to a housewife, Venusian Trimsamsa will make her unchaste, Mercurian Trimsamsa will bestow skill in arts, Jupiterian Trimsamsa will make her quite virtuous and in Saturn's Trimsamsa she will betray her husband. In Leo the Trimsamsa of Mars will make the female garrulous, Venusian Trimsamsa chaste, Mercurian Trimsamsa male-natured, Jupiterian Trimsamsa a queen and Saturn s Trimsamsa fallen.
11-13. TRIMSAMSA EFFECTS (continued). In a Sign of Jupiter the Trimsamsa of Mars will make her a gentlewoman with many (of the seven principal) virtues, the Trimsamsa of Venus a female with evil speech, the Trimsamsa of Mercury one with knowledge, the Trimsamsa of Jupiter one with many virtues and the Trimsamsa of Saturn a female desiring limited physical union. Lastly in a Sign owned by Saturn, a Trimsamsa of Mars will make one servant, that of Venus intelligent, that of Mercury cruel and devoid of conduct, that of Jupiter a chaste lady and that of Saturn himself one addicted to base men.
14. BEASTLY LUST OF A FEMALE. When Venus and Saturn are in mutual aspects in the case of a birth in Taurus, or Libra Ascendant with Saturn's Navāńśa, the female concerned burnt with sexual lust will unite with a woman playing the role of a male. Venus and Saturn should simultaneously be in exchange in Navāńśas owned by them.
15-17. THE 7th HOUSE. Should the 7th House be vacant, her husband will be a contemptible fellow. With the said House bereft of aspect of a benefic, he will be bereft of strength. He will be disposed to living in other places, if the 7th House is a Movable Sign. He will be a eunuch with Mercury, or Saturn in the 7th House. She will be discarded by her husband, if the Sun is in her 7th House. Mars in the said House will cause early widowhood, while Saturn in the 7th with malefic aspects will make her old soon. Again she will be given up by her husband with malefics being weak and combust in the 7th receiving aspects from malefics. Benefics and malefics combust in the 7th will give away the woman native in second marriage.
18. UNCHASTITY. If Venus and Mars exchange their divisions, the female will go after other males. If the Moon be simultaneously in the 7th House, she will join others with consent of her husband.
19. MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. If a Sign of Mars, or Saturn be ascending with Venus and the Moon in it in aspect to malefics, the female along with her mother may be deemed unchaste.
20. MISCELLANEOUS. If the 7th House falls in a Navāńśa of Mars and be in aspect to the Moon (Saturn, according to some texts), the female will have a diseased vagina. A Navāńśa of Venus denotes a fortunate female, who will be dear to her husband.
21-24. EFFECTS OF RULERS OF 7th·HOUSE/NAVĀŃŚA. If the 7th House, or its Navāńśa be ruled by Saturn, the female's husband will be old and foolish. The ruler ship of Mars in such a case will give a husband, who will be addicted to other women and be irascible. If Venus heads the 7th House, or its Navāńśa the husband will be very beautiful and be fortunate. The husband will be skillful and knowledgeable, if Mercury be such a planet. A sexually tormented husband, who will, however, be soft in disposition will be bestowed by the Moon in such circumstances. The husband will be virtuous and be a conqueror of the five senses, if Jupiter rules the 7th House, or its Navāńśa. Leo, as the 7th House, or the 7th Navāńśa will indicate an industrious and a very intelligent husband. Thus the effects relating to the rulership of the 7th House and 7th Navāńśa be declared in respect of males.
25-26. EFFECTS OF PLANETS IN THE ASCENDANT. She will be jealously disposed and be happy with Venus and the Moon in the Ascendant. Mercury replacing Venus in the said Yoga will make the female happy, skillful in arts, virtuous and modest. If Mercury and Venus are together in the Ascendant, the female will be beautiful, fortunate and skillful in arts. Benefics in the Ascendant will endow a female with servants, happiness and robes, while malefics give adverse effects in regard to these.
27. EFFECTS OF THE 8th HOUSE. Malefics in the 8th will cause widowhood. This will occur in the Dasa periods of the Lord of the Navāńśa occupied by the 8th Lord. A benefic in the 2nd will, however, cause the female's death in this Yoga, instead of widowhood.
28. LIMITED PROGENY. If the 5th House be one of Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus and Leo receiving the aspect of a benefic, there will be limited number of children Alternatively, the said 5th House may be conjunct a benefic, or the Moon.
29. FEMALE WITH MASCULINE DISPOSITION. Should Mercury, Venus and the Moon be in the Ascendant and be weak, while Saturn has moderate strength, as the rest are strong, the female concerned will be akin to a male in appearance and in acts. The Ascendant should in this case necessarily be an odd Sign.
30. TAKING TO RELIGIOUS ORDER. A female will be initiated into a religious order, if a malefic is in the 7th House, while the 9th House is occupied by any planet. The order will relate to the planet in the 7th House.
31. VEDIC EXPONENT. If strong Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, or the Moon be in the Ascendant identical with an even Sign, the female will be a teacher/exponent of Vedas (or be a follower of Vedanta Philosophy). And she will be an expert in interpretation of various Shastras.
32. APPLICATION. Whatever has been stated in this Ch. should be wisely applied to females relating to their births, selection of grooms, marriage and query. These effects are applicable to their husbands also.
Thus ends the 46th Ch. entitled ‘ FEMALE HOROSCOPY” in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
Ch. 47. Aphorisms of Death
1. REASONS OF DEATH. If the 8th House is occupied by any planet from the Sun to Saturn, the reason for death in the same order will be fire, water, weapon, fever, indigestion (or constipation), thirst and hunger. According to the 8th House being a Movable, Fixed, or Dual Sign, the place of death will be a foreign place, own place, or on the way.
2. Death may be due to the imbalance of that humour belonging to the planet aspecting the 8th House. If there is no planet in the 8th House, the aspecting one may indicate the kind of death. If many are thus related, the strongest one will prevail.
3. DEATH BY DROWNING, FALL ETC. If the 10th and 4th are occupied by the Sun and Mars, the native will die due to fall from hills. If the 10th, 7th and 4th Houses are occupied by Mars, Mercury and Saturn, it may be due to fall in a well. Death due to imprisonment will follow, if the Luminaries are placed in Virgo in aspect to malefics. The end will be by drowning, if Pisces is occupied by the Sun and the Moon.
4-5. DEATH BY FIRE ETC. If the Moon and Saturn, respectively, are in Capricorn and Cancer, death will be due to affliction of stomach. If the Moon be hemmed between malefics and occupies a Sign of Mars, fire/weapons will cause death. Death will be certainly inflicted by dryness of blood, if the Moon is in Virgo hemmed between malefics.
6-7. DEATH BY HANGING ETC. If the Moon in Capricorn, or Aquarius be hemmed between benefics, death will be due to hanging, fire, or fall, which is doubtless according to Chanakya. The same effect will come to pass, if the 5th and 9th Houses are occupied by malefics in aspect to malefics. If the drekkana of the 8th House be one of Pasa, Sarpa and Nigala, death will be reticent.
8. DEATH DUE TO A FEMALE. If the Sun be in Pisces Ascendant, while the Moon is in the 7th (in Virgo), or in the 2nd in Aries, or in the 5th in Cancer, a female will be reason for the native's end.
9. DEATH DUE TO A TRIDENT'S HIT. If the 4th House is occupied by Mars, or the Sun, while Saturn is conjunct weak Moon in the 10th House and malefics are in the Ascendant and its Trines, hit of a trident will cause the end.
10. DEATH BY HIT OF WOOD. If the Sun is in the 4th, while the Moon devoid of strength is in the 10th along with Mars, or in aspect to Saturn, the native will be hit by a log.
11. DEATH BY HIT OF A CLUB etc. If weak Moon, Mars, Sun and Mercury along with Saturn are in the 10th, 8th, 4th and Ascendant (in any way), the subject will have his end due to a club beat. If these planets fill the 10th, 9th, 5th and Ascendant, death will be by smoke, fire, confinement, or a blow of fist.
12. DEATH DUE TO ROYAL WRATH. If the 4th, 7th and 10th Houses are occupied by Mars, the Sun and Saturn, death will be due to weapon, fire, or royal wrath.
13-14. DEATH DUE TO INSECTS, INTOXICANTS AND MACHINERY. One's end will be due to insects, if the 10th, 4th and 2nd Houses at his birth are occupied by Mars, the Moon and Saturn. If the 10th House is constellated by the Luminaries and Mars, the native will end his life on account of intoxicants, or fall from height. Machinery will be the source of one's death, if the 7th House is occupied by Mars, as the trio of weak Moon, Saturn and the Sun afflict Ascendant by occupation.
15-16. DEATH IN FILTHY SURROUNDINGS. One will die amidst ordure, if Mars is in Libra, the Sun in Aries/Scorpio and the Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius. The Sun, weak Moon and Mars in the 8th, 10th and 4th Houses, will kill one amidst excrement. So says Siddhasena.
17-18. DEATH BY THIRST, WEAPONS AND BIRDS. If the 8th House contains both the weak Moon and Saturn in aspect to strong Mars, the subject will die due to spleenary disorders, colics, thirst, or weapons. The Sun and Mars in the 7th, while Saturn occupies the 8th and the Moon the 4th, one's death will be caused by birds.
19. If the Ascendant, 8th, 5th and 9th Houses are occupied by the Sun, Mars, Saturn and the Moon, death will be due to fall from a hill, hit of a weapon, or fall of a wall etc.
20. Yavanas indicate, that the place of death will correspond to the Navāńśa Lagna Lord. The aphorisms stated in this Ch. should be suitably interpreted according to other aspects and other conjunctions.
21. The duration of the state of loss of consciousness (or insensibility, delusion, pain etc.) will correspond to the portion elapsed in the radical Ascendant. The duration will remain doubled and trebled according to the Ascendant Lord, or a benefic aspecting the Ascendant.
22. KHARA DREKKANA. The 22nd decanate from the Ascendant will denote the nature of one's death. For example, by the nature of its Lord, (i.e. the humour, place etc.)
23-24. EFFECTS OF ARIES DECANATES AS RELATED TO DEATH. If the first decanate of Aries be the 22nd decanate from the Ascendant and be in aspect to a malefic the native's death will be due to water (i.e. drowning etc.), snake, poison, or bilious imbalances. If the 2nd decanate of Aries be so related, water, insects, ice and forests will cause death. The 3rd decanate of Aries denotes tanks, well etc.
25-26. DECANATES IN TAURUS. If the first decanate of Taurus be the 22nd decanate at birth, death will be caused by animals, like ox, horse, donkey, camel etc. The second decanate in Taurus denotes the end due to bilious/windy complaints, fire and thieves. The concluding decanate of Taurus leads to one's death in journey, or due to fall from the back of a horse, or due to hit by weapon in battle.
27-28. DECANATES IN GEMINI. If the first decanate of Gemini be the 22nd decanate at birth, one's end will be due to tuberculosis, or pulmonary disorders. The second decanate in Gemini identical with 22nd decanate denotes death through a buffalo, or through poison, or delirium. If the 3rd decanate in Gemini becomes the 22nd decanate the end will be through forest tribes, quadrupeds in general, or elephants in particular.
29-30. DECANATES IN CANCER. If the 22nd decanate is the first decanate of Cancer, the reason of death will be a crocodile (or a shark), wine, thorn, or dreams. The second decanate will cause end by beating, or by consuming of poison. The terminating decanate indicates death by respiratory diseases, urinary diseases (viz. gleet, diabetes etc.), spleenary disorders, affliction to blood, or by swooning caused by excessive labor.
31-32. DECANATES IN LEO. The 22nd decanate identical with the first decanate of Leo will cause one's end due to water, poison, or diseases of the foot. The second decanate of Leo indicates death by diseases caused by water, or movements in forests. The last decanate thereof will bring one's end through poison, weapons, calumny, or fall from heights.
33-34. DECANATES IN VIRGO.
