The names of the grahas are given in slo$a 1D of this chapter'
Lagna is a very important point in the horoscope' It is the rashi that rises in the east, on the
latitude of birth' The apparent rising of a rashi is due to the rotation of the earth on its own a2is at
a rate of motion causing every degree of the -odiac seemingly ascend on the eastern hori-on'
1ppro2imately, two hours are re9uired for a rashi to pass via the hori-on, thereby every degree
ta$ing four minutes to ascend' This duration, however, is actually dependent on the concerned
latitude'
1ctually, 0urya has no motion' .is motion is an apparent one as viewed from the rotating earth'
)ther grahas including the nodes have varied rates of motion' The average daily motions of the
grahas, which are not, however standard, are as follows+
0urya 1
Chandr 1=-16
angal =D-(68
3uddh A6-1DD8
0hu$r A;-7;8
/uru 6-168
0hani ;8

5ith such different motions, a grah forms various drishti8s with others' These drishti8s through
longitudinal distances have a great deal of utility in &yotish' This is what aharishi *arashar
suggests to be considered'
B' Cetails !of astronomical nature" of stars have to be understood by general rules while I narrate
to you about the effects of grahas and rashis'

0hould Chandr be Iuti with a benefic or receiving a drishti from a benefic, she turns a benefic,

when we study other commentaries on &aimini !for e2ample Chau$hambh .indi edition", we are
taught that it is Vyaya 3hava in the case of an odd rashi ascending, and it is Chan 3hava in the
case of an even rashi ascending' 1ccordingly, the *ad for the 1;th or the ;nd from Lagn is called
Upa *ad' In calculating Upa *ad, the rules mentioned in verses ( and 6 of the previous chapter

Upa *ad happens to be one of 3uddh8s rashis and is tenanted by angal and 0hani, the wife of
the native will suffer from nasal disorders' 0imilarly, a rashi of angal becoming the ;nd from
Upa *ad and occupied by angal and 0hani will cause nasal disorders to one8s wife' /uru and
0hani will, if be in the ;nd from Upa *ad, cause disorders of ears, andHor eyes to the wife' If

>ahu together in one of 0hani8s rashis, which is the ;nd from Upa *ad, will cause lameness or
windy disorders to the native8s wife' These evils will not come to pass if there happens to be a

1rgala or Intervention from /rahas
1' ) aharishi *arashar, you have told of !some" auspicious effects related to 1rgala' %indly
narrate its conditions and effects'
;-:' Eormation of 1rgala+ aitreya, I e2plain below 1rgala to $now the definite effects of
bhavas and grahas' /rahas in the (th, ;nd, and the 11th !from a bhava or a grah" cause 1rgalas,
while obstructors of the 1rgala will be those in the 1Dth, 1;th, and =rd from a bhava or a grah' If
the 1rgala causing grah is stronger than the obstructing one, the former will prevail' )r if the
number of 1rgalas are more than the obstructing grahas, then also the 1rgala will prevail' If there
are = or more malefics in the =rd they will cause Vipreet 1rgala !more effective intervention"
which will also be harmless and be very favourable' The 6th is also an 1rgala place, while the
grah in the :th will counteract such 1rgala' 1s >ahu and %etu have retrograde motions, the
1rgalas and obstructions be also counted accordingly in a reverse manner' aharishis say that
the 1rgala caused by one grah will yield limited effect, by two medium and by more than two
e2cellent effects' 1rgalas should be counted from a rashi or a grah as the case may be' The
1rgala which is unobstructed will be fruitful, while the one duly obstructed will go astray' The
1rgala effects will be derived in the Casha periods of the rashi or grah concerned'
@otes+ 81rgala8 in 0ans$rit is figuratively used to denote an impediment or obstruction' 1rgala is
calculated from a bhava or from a grah' The (th, ;nd, and 11th bhava occupants cause 1rgala for
a bhava or a grah' 1 grah in the 1Dth !from where the 1rgala is calculated" will obstruct the
1rgala coming from the (th' 0imilarly, a grah in 1;th will counteract 1rgala emanating from the
;nd, while the one in 11th will impede the 1rgala from the =rd' 0ome suggest that the 1rgala
obstruction places are countable from the 1rgala place instead of from the original place or grah'
This is not logical and a glance into /ochar Vedha !or obstructions during transits" will confirm
our findings'
1D' 0pecial+ The 1rgala caused by placement of a grah in the first one fourth part of the rashi is
countered by another placed in the (th 9uarter of the respective obstructive rashi' 0imilarly, ;nd
9uarter8s 1rgala is eliminated by the =rd 9uarter placement of another grah'
@otes+ 5e have learnt that an 1rgala, for e2ample in the (th from a bhava or a grah is eliminated
by another placed in the 1Dth bhava from the original grah or bhava' .ere, the rules for
obstruction of 1rgala are still narrowed down' 1ccordingly, there are only two circumstances of
1rgala getting nullified' a$e the rashi in which the 1rgala occurs into four 9uarters !of B
degrees =D min' each"' 0imilarly, the rashi where obstruction occurs is also made in four
9uarters' If the 1rgala causing grah is in the first 9uarter !or first B degrees =D8 of the rashi",
while the obstructing grah is in the (th 9uarter !i'e' ;; degrees =D8 - =D degrees", the obstruction
indeed will come to pass' )therwise, not' 0o to say, 1rgala will operate and the obstruction will
fail' Li$ewise, while the 1rgala grah is in the ;nd 9uarter of the rashi !i'e' B degrees =D min - 1 6
degrees", the obstruction !grah in 16 degrees - ;; degrees =D min+ i'e' in the =rd 9uarter" will
combat the 1rgala'
11-1B' 1rgala <ffects+ 0hould there be 1rgala for the 1rudh *ad, for the natal Lagn, and for the
Bth from both, the native will be famous and fortunate' 1 malefic or a benefic causing
unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to Lagn, will ma$e one famous' 0imilarly, a malefic or a
benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to Chan 3hava denotes ac9uisition of
wealth and grains# a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to 0aha?
3hava denotes happiness from co-born# a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala
giving a drishti to 3andhu 3hava denotes residences, 9uadrupeds, and relatives# a malefic or a
benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to *utr 3hava denotes sons, grand sons, and
intelligence# a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to 1ri 3hava
denotes fear from enemies# a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to
Iuvati 3hava denotes abundant wealth and marital happiness# a malefic or a benefic causing
unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to >andhr 3hava denotes difficulties# a malefic or a benefic
causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to Charm 3hava denotes fortunes# a malefic or a
benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to %arm 3hava denotes royal honour# a
malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to Labh 3hava denotes gains#
and a malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed 1rgala giving a drishti to Vyaya 3hava denotes
e2penses' The 1rgala by benefics will give various $inds of happiness, while benefic effects will
be meddling with malefic 1rgalas' 1rgala by both benefics and malefics will yield results'
@otes+ Eor our own benefit we should understand the word 81rgala8 in a suitable manner apart
from the manner the 1rgala functions vis-a-vis 1rgala elimination'
1' 1rgala can be caused by a benefic which is $nown as 0ubh 1rgala' This 1rgala can be
from a malefic also, so that the benefic causing 1rgala stalls the malefic role going against the
native' If the benefic8s 1rgala is obstructed by another, then the benefic will become ineffective
in 1rgala and the first-mentioned malefic will operate freely'
;' 1rgala can be by a malefic with reference to a benefic, so that the native does not en?oy
good effects due to the benefic' This is *ap 1rgala !or malefic 1rgala"' If the 1rgala is eliminated
by a benefic or a malefic, then again the first mentioned benefic will be at liberty to act
according to his own disposition'
=' 1rgala is operable with reference to bhavas as well' )ther relative rules need to be well
understood before application of the 1rgala'
17' 0hould there be !unobstructed" 1rgala for Lagn, *utr, and Charm 3hava the native will
doubtlessly become a $ing and fortunate'

ma2imum number of degrees in a particular rashi is called 1tma %ara$' If the degrees are

with higher seconds of arc, have to be considered' In that case, these three are called 1nthya
%ara$, adhya %ara$, and Upa$heta' In the case of >ahu, deduct his longitude in that particular
rashi from =D' The $ara$as will have to be decided as above and as per further rules given below'
)ut of these %ara$as, 1tma %ara$ is the most important and has a prime say on the native ?ust as

had something li$e physical translucence which was ob?ect of admiration all the world over,
wherever people met' 1lso, at the same time his poetry enthralled the whole world' Chandra is a
sub-/raha around the earth and that is why the influence of Chandra on all that happens in the
earth is so paramount' 1nd again that is why the influence of Chandra on both the body and mind
is simultaneously so very great' 0u$ra and Chandra both are female grahas !planets" with
difference that while Chandra is the Lord of motherhood, maternal instincts and all that, 0u$ra is
the lord of feminine beauty, the structure of feminine form, the physical e2cellence of women
and all that' In the former there is elegance and dignity of the feminine while in the latter, the
physical beauty and the lure of feminine form which leads a male captive dominates' Chandra is
the lord of marine products and of medicines# that it was from the sea that Chandra rose' 1nd it is
to Chandra that the influences and causalities have to be traced'

limited' It does not go beyond its narrow orbit' )ld servant, pedlar of seeds, physician
administering herbal seed remedies - every such thing is determined from this star' The oola
native loo$s into scientific, literary, philosophic and other basic sub?ects' ortgate and

Uttarasarha @a$shatra+ 0pread from ;A+(D8 Chanu to 1D+ of a$ara' Lord is /uru and 0ani' The
derivatives from Uttarasarha are closely allied to those of *oorbasarha' The points of difference
are as follows' *oorbasarha spreads out, it is concerned with e2tensiveness' Uttarasarha is
introspective and penetrative and is concerned with intensiveness, the results of the latter being
more permanent than the former !*oorbasarha"' The deity who preserves this world and ma$es
for its welfare is called 8ganadevata8' There are ten ganadevatas 3asu, 0atya, %ratu, Ca$sha,
%ala, %ama, Chriti, %uru, *ururaba, adraba' 1ll their attributes are in this star' The warrior, the
wrestler, the painter, the artist, the magician, the well-dressed man, the happy and successful men
are influenced by this star' 1 special characteristic of it is that it causes a person to be admired
and socially applauded' 1nother characteristic of it is is that under the influence of this star the
native falls in love with an unmarried girl' Vishma of the ahabharata was one of the 7 3asus#
so under this star one possesses self-control, restraint, endurance and firm character' There are
special rituals for the worship of ganadevatas, which are more or less of specialised nature' The
?uice of 0oma plant plays a part in 8yagna8 and worship'

Longevity
1' ) aharishi *arashar, you have dealt with combinations for wealth and poverty' %indly detail
methods of ascertaining the life span of human beings'
;-=' D 3rahmin, for the benefit of man$ind I narrate methods of ascertaining longevity# $nowing
that longevity is difficult even for gods' any e2ponents have laid down various methods of
longevity calculations' Eollowing is the summary of such schools of thoughts'
(-7' *indayu+ The grahas contribute to longevity according to their being in e2altation, or
debilitation, and also based on their strengths and wea$nesses and positions in 1shvini, etc', and
in the various rashis' Eirst of all, *indayu is based on the positions of the grahas' ) 3rahmin,
listen carefully to what I say+ 1:, ;6, 16, 1;, 16, ;1, and ;D are the number of years contributed
by the grahas from 0urya, etc', when in !deep" e2altation' These are half of the above in !deep"
debilitation# and if the grahas are in between e2altation and debilitation, the rule of three process
should be used' Ceduct the actual position of the grah from its deep e2altation point' If the
product is less than A rashis, deduct it again from 1; rashis' The product concerned should be
multiplied by the number of years allotted to the grah and divided by 1; to get the grah8s actual
contribution'
:' >ectifications+ <2cepting 0hu$r and 0hani, the contributions made by others should be halved,
if they are eclipsed, by 0urya' )ne third should be reduced if the grah is in its inimical rashi' This
does not apply to the one in retrogression !see Va$ra Charam"'
1D-11' Ceductions for /rahas in the Visible .alf of the Lodiac+ Eull, half, one third, one fourth,
one fifth, and one si2th are the deductions of contributions made by malefics placed in the visible
half of the -odiac' 3enefics in such cases lose only half of what malefics lose' 0hould there be
more than one grah in a bhava, the deduction due to the strongest will only prevail, and not
deductions due to other grahas in that particular bhava' 5aning Chandr is a benefic for this
purpose'
1;-1=' alefics in Lagn+ In case Tanu 3hava is occupied by malefics, adopt the following
procedure+ Convert Lagn8s 0phuta into minutes of arc and multiple it by the years, etc',
contributed by the occupant and divide by ;1ADD' The years etc' so arrived be deducted from the
respective contribution which will be the net span donated by the grah' If there is benefics drishti
on Lagn containing malefics then the loss is only half !obtained through these calculations"'
1(-16' Lagn8s Contribution+ The number of years contributed by Lagn will correspond to the
number of rashis it gained !from esh", while the degrees Lagn has gained in the particular rashi
will also correspondingly donate !i'e' =D degreesOl year"' If the Lagn8s lord in the @avamsh is
stronger than Lagn8s lord, then the contribution should be computed only based on the number of
@avamshas gained !from esh", otherwise the computation will be for the >ashi Lagn'
1A-1B' @isargayu+ ) 3rahmin, now I tell you about @isargayu 1, ;, :, ;D, 17, ;D,and 6D are the
years allotted to Chandr, angal, 3uddh, 0hu$r, /uru, 0urya, and 0hani from the period of birth'
17-1:' 1mshayu+ @ow, I will tell you about 1mshayu contributions by Lagn and grahas' The
years correspond to the number of @avamshas counted from esh' ultiply the longitude in
9uestion by 1D7' If the product e2ceeds 1;, e2punge multiples of 1; and consider the final
product in rashis, degrees, etc', as years, months, etc'
;D-;;' The same reductions as per *indayu apply to 1mshayu as well# i'e' half for a combust
grah, one third for inimical placement and the ones due for placements in the half of the -odiac
counted from the 1;th bac$wards' 0ome scholars suggest further corrections for 1mshayu, vi-'
To increase three fold the contribution of a grah in e2altation or in own bhava and double the
contribution if the contributor is in his own @avamsh or in his own Cresh$an' If doubling and
trebling is warranted, only trebling be done' In case of reductions also, only halving is to be done
if both halving and reducing a third are re9uired' That is how the final life span of men be
understood'
;=' Longevity for )ther Living 3eings+ Eor other living beings as well such computations can be
made' The said figure should be multiplied by the figure corresponding to its full span of life and
divided by the figure corresponding to the full span of life for human beings'

years for birds, etc'
=D-=1' Choice of Longevity+ I have narrated = different methods of longevity' Listen to me about
the choice among the three systems' 1ccording to which of the three+ Lagn, 0urya, or Chandr is
stronger than the other two, 1mshayu, *indayu, or @isargayu should be respectively chosen'
=;' Coubtful Cases+ If two among Lagn, 0urya, and Chandr gain e9ual strength, then longevity
should be wor$ed out as per both systems and the average of both !final" should be considered' If
all the three are e9ually strong, the average of the three should be considered'
==-(D' )ther Clues to Longevity+ ) e2cellent of the 3rahmins, I will now give you details of
other methods in the matter of longevity as under+ This is based on the positions of Lagn8s lord,
>andhr8s lord, 0hani, Chandr, natal Lagn, and .ora Lagn' These si2 are grouped into three
groups, thus+ the lords of Lagn and of >andhr 3hava on the one hand, 0hani and Chandr on the
other hand, and the natal Lagn and .ora Lagn on yet the other hand' )ut of a group of two, if the
two are in movable rashis long life is denoted' )ne in a fi2ed rashi and the other in a dual rashi
will also bestow long life' )ne in a movable rashi and the other in a fi2ed rashi will give medium
life' If both are in dual rashis then, again medium life will be obtained' 0hort life is denoted if
one is in a movable rashi as the other is in a dual rashi, or if both are in fi2ed rashis' The type of
life denoted by three or two groups be only considered' If the three groups denote different
scales, then the one indicated by the pair of natal Lagn and .ora Lagn should be only
considered' In case of three different indications if Chandr is in Lagn or Iuvati 3hava, then, the
one indicated by the 0hani-Chandr pair will only come to pass'
(1-((' Eurther Clarifications+ If long life is denoted by all the said three groups, the span is 1;D
years, if by two groups it is 1D7 years, and if only by one group it is :1 years' If medium life is
arrived at by three groups it is 7D years, if medium life span is indicated by ; groups it is B;
years, and if medium life span is indicated by one group it is A( years' If short life is denoted by
the said three groups it is only =; years, if short life is indicated by two groups, the life span is =A
years, and if short life is indicated by one group the life span is (D years' These are rectified as
under'
(6-(A' >ectifications+ If the contributor is in the beginning of a rashi, his donation will be full,
and it will be nil if he is at the end of a rashi' Eor intermediary placements, rule of the process
will apply' 1dd the longitudes of the contributors !devoid of rashis" and the sum so arrived at
must be divided by the number of contributors' The latest product should be multiplied by the
number of basic years and divided by =D' This will yield the net longevity'
(B' 0pecial >ule for 0hani+ 0hould 0hani be a contributor, the class of longevity declines' 0ome
advocate contrarily, an increase of class in this conte2t' If 0hani is in its own rashi or in
e2altation, change in class will not occur' <ven if he receives a drishti from or is yuti with only a
malefic, no change occurs'
(7' 0pecial >ule for /uru+ If /uru is in Lagn or in Iuvati 3hava, and receives a drishti from or is
yuti with only benefics, the class of longevity will increase'
(:-6D' Increase and Eall in Class of Longevity+ Erom very short life to short life, from short life
to medium life, from medium life to long life and from long life to e2tremely long life are the
increases in the classification of longevity when /uru warrants an increase' The reverse is true if
0hani warrants a fall in the span of life'
