Jagdish Raj Ratra is B.Com (hons)

L.L.B Fellow (F.I.I) worked in Insurance
Sector (LIC Of India) for 38 years. He has
been dedicated to serious study in
astrology since last few decades. He
retired in Feb 1996, has special interest in
Jaimini Astrology.
His work on Jaimini Astrology has been
the most unique and different than the
traditionally known understanding of
Jaimini Astrology. We have received
numerous appreciations from serious
students plus writers in Jaimini astrology
on the original thoughts of Ratra ji on
Jaimini Astrology and it gives us great
pleasure to have him on board as one of
the esteemed writers on Jaimini
astrology.

Sutra no. 23 has been differently
interpreted by different commentators of
Jaimini eg:
Shri Suryanarain Rao (grandfather of
Late Shri B.V.Raman) If Ravi & Rahu
Join Atmakarak in Navamsha, the person
dies by snake bite
Shri Sitaram Sharma & most of
Varanasis Jaimini scholars follow
transcription of Shri Suryanarain Rao.
Shri Irangati Rangacharya If the moon
alone occupies the 4th house from
karakamsha & is aspected by Ravi &
Rahu, the native dies by snake bite
Shri P.S.Shastri If the Ravi & Rahu are in the 2nd from the Atmakarak in Navamsha, the
native dies of snake bite
None of the commentators could prove their interpretation with practical charts. Every
one talks about the Navamsha chart & Atmakaraks placement there in.
Our researches has convinced us that Shri Jaimini takes RASHI CHART as mother chart
& marks his various predictive lagnas in mother chart & predicts. HE DOES NOT USE
RISING LAGAN as predictive tool as, being done in Parashari system. Rather he uses
Rising Lagna as a tool in creating his own predictive lagnas eg: Pitree Lagan (is a sign in a
rashi chart where Ascendant lord is placed), Uppada Lagan (Aroodha of 2nd bhava from
Pitree lagan), Sign Aroodha
(a) [General Rule] Longitude of sign lord multiplied by two Less sign longitude for non
Kendra placement of a sign lord to own sign.
(b) [Special rule] For placement of a sign lord in a Kendra to sign itself Longitude of
sign lord plus 90 degrees if sign lord is in own sign or in the 4th bhava, add 270 to
longitude of the planet if sign lord is placed in 7 th or 10th bhava. Count of bhavas is
forward or backward for the Pitree Lagan & Uppada Lagan as marked in MOTHER
CHART if their signs are odd or even.
Ravi Rahubhyam Sarpnidhanam is discussed under group of sutra dealing with 2 nd bhava
from Atamkarak Navamsha Lagan as marked in mother chart.
Longevity is represented by 8th & 3rd houses. The 12th from them are death houses denoted
by 7th & 2nd houses. The 2nd house (bhava) also represents Mouth & 7th the Stomach. Rahu
represents Cobra, the Sun represents Soul (release). Death by snake bite is through
mouth of the cobra hence death by cobra bite is through 2nd bhava (house) from
Atamkarak Navamsha lagan as marked in Rashi chart. Ravi Rahu combination should
relate to 2nd bhava and not Atamkarak Navamsha lagan as said by commentators of
Jaimini. This combination may take following variations:(1)
Ravi Rahu both occupy 2nd of AKN Lagan.
(2)
Ravi Rahu both aspect 2nd of AKN Lagan.
(3)
Ravi Rahu both join or aspect lord of 2nd of AKN Lagan.
(4)
One may join 2nd, other may aspect 2nd (Aspects are Jaimini aspects).
To find authentic horoscopes of natives who suffered from Snake bite are very difficult
to obtain for verification of Sutras. In search of material we scrutinized past issues of The
Astrological Magazine and laid our hands on an article on this topic in August 1984 issue at
page 641 contributed by Shri Nitin Chandra Ray who quoted two horoscopes of his
personal knowledge, hence authentic. The scribe explained snake bite on yogas under
Parashari.

The native suffered from snake bite. Why?

The Atamkarak is Jupiter which obtains Sagittarius Navamsha; hence Atamkarak
Navamsha is marked in Rashi chart in Sagittarius. The 2nd there from is Capricorn with
Rahu & aspected by the Sun. The snake bite is certainty as per Jaimini.
Reason for her survival: - AKN lagan in Rashi chart is aspected by Venus & also
Atmakaraka Jupiter is aspected by Mercury. A local Mantrik saved the native Mercury
represent Mantra Shakti as well as medical treatment.
Chart No.-2
7th Sept 1965, 7:32 am, 20 N 29, 85 E 52 Asc
The native is beautiful girl, lived in the same Orissa village in which Mr. Ray lived, who
was eyewitness to surprising events.
The girl first suffered from cobra bite on Thursday (of Jupiter). She was saved by an
outstanding Sadhak through Tantrik Mantras. The cobra started regular bite on every
Thursday. The girl was kept in a closed chamber to avoid bite. The same Tantrik made
propitiations. The cunning cobra changed the day and tried to bite once or twice every
month, whenever it got chance. She survived every bite. Probably she is destined to be
(a cobra girl,) as deadly as cobra.
Venus atmakaraka getting Virgo navamsha, it is to be marked in Rashi chart as

Atamkarak Navamsha Lagan. IInd is Libra aspected by Ravi & Rahu both.
Survival: - Venus & AKNL aspected by Jupiter, Venus join AKNL, Mercury aspect
Libra. All 3 shubhas are involved.
All our efforts to find more horoscopes with yogas of Ravi Rahu Sarpnidhanam failed.
We requested the management of Saptarishi Astrology to provide more material on the
subject. They could find out one horoscope from their records.
An American youth name Marshal Ried was bitten on the left leg by rattle snake on
14.4.1990 The child cried for help, his mother saw fang marks on his left leg. He was
rushed to the hospital in unconscious state. He was treated for two days by the hospital.
He recovered. Death averted.

Mercury is Atmakaraka in Aquarius Rashi & obtains Taurus Navamsha. So the

Atamkarak Navamsha lagan is Taurus to be marked in Rashi chart. The 2 nd house falls in
Gemini Rashi. The Sun aspects Gemini & Rahu aspects Gemini lord Mercury. It is a potential
case of snake bite. He was dragged from death. This happens when AKN Lagan or its
lord or both are under benefic aspects (of course jaimini aspects). Jupiter aspects Venus
the lord of Atamkarak Navamsha Lagan. Mercury the AK also aspects Venus. Mercury
represent medicines. There is aspect on Rahu by 3 planets Moon, Jupiter & Mercury.
There is exchange of aspects between Venus on one hand & Moon, Jupiter & Mercury on
other.
The correct interpretation of two sutras as per the humble opinion of this scribe is:If Ravi & Rahu aspect & or join the 2nd house from Atamkarak Navamsha Lagan marked in the
mother chart, native dies of snake bite. Death is averted if benefices aspect AKN Lagan or its lord
or both.
