G ollakota Vijay, 80 years old, he was born on

09.06.1930 at Yellamanchili, VisakhapatnamDistrict, Andhra Pradesh. Born in a Vedic family,Sri Vijay has been attracted towards this subject at

an early age of 22. The power that pulled himtowards this subject is matchmaking and theinfluence of Mangalik in match making andpredictions on his longevity. Cause the very basic

verses in astrology reads “Karmarjitham poorvabhave sadadi….” which means thathoroscope reads the goods and bad acquired bythe native from his previous birth. Then what is thefun in match making. Starting this, he went onquarrying in the subject and thereby went through

various available writings. In that quest he foundsome works published in the name of great authorsthat had contradicting versions. So, working outthose contradictions, he has brought out a few

works titled „Quintessence of Parasara‟ (English),„Prasara Jyothisham‟ (Telugu), „Prasara‟s Vedic

Astrology‟ (English), Yadartha Parasara HoraSastram (Telugu). Thus, he has brought out howParasara differs from others and what is trueParasara System.

Ganapati Muni

asistha Kavyakantha Ganapati Munibelongs to the race of giants who

crowded in the narrow corridors of the

first four decades of the 20th Century writes Shri

K Natesan

.

Ganapati Muni was born in Kalavarayai, near

Bobbili in Andhra Pradesh, on November 17,

1878 2. His parents, Narasimha Sastri and

Narasamamba, had three sons, the Muni beingthe second. His was a family of Sri Vidya

initiates.

His birth time is somewhere around 14:10 pm,construct his chart and see the beauty of Jup Rahu inCap and you would realize that all the books in last5000 years that say Jup debilitated and Guru

Chandalaya Yoga is bad have only given you one sideof the coin, only when you read his biography you

would realize the greatness of Sri Vasishtha Ganapati Muni and then you can decipher this Jup-rahu comboand come to . - SA

V






A year before his birth his mother Narasamamba had gone to the famous temple dedicated to the

Sun God at Arasavalli, in Andhra Pradesh. It was a holy day (Ratha Saptami) to offer worship to the

Sun God. She stayed overnight in the temple, after worshipping the Lord in due manner. In the early

morning she had a dream in which a woman of supernatural beauty emerged from the corridors of the

temple, approached her with a fine shining pot, put it in her hand and vanished. To her utter astonishment

the fine pitcher assumed the form of a male child the moment it came into contact with her. After herreturn home she became pregnant.

The father, Narasimha Sastri, also had a unique experience. He had gone to Banaras (Varanasi or

Kashi) in November 1878. When he was in the temple praying in the presence of the deity Ganapati, he

had the vision of a little child emanating from the deity and entering into him. At the time when

Narasimha Sastri was witnessing this vision in Banaras, his wife Narasamamba gave birth to a male

child in her parental home. This child was born under these auspicious indications given to both parents.

The father appropriately named this son Ganapati, rooted in the conviction that the child was an

emanation of the Lord Maha Ganapati Himself.

Ganapati was educated entirely at home. His father, like his ancestors, was well versed and an expert in

Mantra Sastra, Astrology and Ayurveda. The young Ganapati easily absorbed all these subjects. He

spent many decades doing tapas and high spiritual practices and was one of the first one to discover Sri

Ramana Maharishi. Ganapati Muni was considered a prodigy from early childhood & wrote more than 27

works on spirituality, out of which 3 are on astrology

1.

SODASASLOKI: Work on astrology.

2.

HORANIRNAYASANGRAHAH: Work on astrology. 3.

TRIBHAVAPHALACHANDRIKA: Work on astrology.

We would be bringing the 1st and the 3rd one in English soon.

The following we could gather from the 206 page biography of Ganapati Muni written by

Dr. G. Krishna titled „Nayana‟ published in 1978 in Hyderabad. The following is under the

chapter „Childhood‟ & sub section „Astrology‟.

By his tenth year he was able to master the preliminary kavyas, mathematics andastronomy. He could prepare panchanga and in addition to this Ganapati astounded his guru by

inventing a new and easy method for compilation of panchangam. In fact he wrote a chapter of

correction called Suddhi Prakranam incorporating the easy method he invented.

10 years after the birth of Ganapati his mother Narasamamba gave birth to twins. An hour

before the delivery, Narasamamba asked Ganapati about the planetary influences prevailing then

and Ganapati at once replied that the woman who delivered then, would die. It came true. Both

Narasamamba (who was 35 then) and the twins died almost immediately after the delivery. When

others in the family wailed for the departed soul, Ganapati remained stunned.



Making such a great astrological prediction is no mean feat and that too about death and

that too to ones mother. But what is more impressive to us is the spiritual practices he did but what

one learns from these spiritual practices can only be seen when you see it in action. Whenever we

hear of a great predictor ( astrologer), the first thing we ask is „Is He a Good Human Being‟,

„How is His Ego‟ - if we get negative answers to these queries then this scribe knows that the

astrologer has just learnt techniques of astrology and not understood even the J of Jyotish. Nowread below from his biography, the true spirituality in action, that you would find maximum 3-5

people to have ever exhibited in the 5000 year history of Indian spirituality and astrology.

The Untouchable caste among Hindus was unvedic according to Ganapati Muni. He had

included in his Kavyas prayer to the deity to protect the freedom of women and to free the

untouchables from misery (western readers should note that inspite of India‟s so called Spiritual

evolution, untouchability still exists even among the Spiritual Gurus of today but it disappears if a

dollar visitor comes in front of these Gurus – we write with experience). Ganapati Muni used toinitiate women into Mantra Japa and many were the women who were initiated into Gayatri

Vidya which was considered to be a qualification exclusive to men. He had performed the

Upanayanam (thread ceremony of a brahmin) of an Untouchable. He propagated that the

marriage age of a girl should be seventeen years, 3 years after puberty (In India child marriage has

been going on since a long time resulting in a lot of misery).

We wish to thank Sri Y S Sarma Pasumarti from Machilapatnam, Andhra Pradesh without

whose persistent efforts & travels this translation by G Vijay of an epic work of Sri Ganaputi Muni

would never have come out. He travelled to the city of G Vijay ji to bring this work out and Sri Vijaythen consented that this work must be released for the astrology world via SA magazine. We & the World

Astrology Fraternity remains indebted to him, may the blessings of the Sages be on him for having the

pure desire of wanting the astrological community to learn something rare and important, this trait even

the best of predictors don‟t have inspite of several spiritual penances.

Also we wish to thank Sri Rahul Vedi, from Sydney, Australia who religiously typed the Sanskrit

shlokas in I Translator Software for SA & also typed the whole English document inspite of his busy

schedule. Scholars who re-read this work several times will understand the importance of this work as it

departs at places from what is traditionally known to us as Parasari Jyotish. The duty of everypublisher/editor is to present different views even if it departs from 3000 years of known knowledge.

What is also important for young writers to note is inspite of the hard work done by Mr. Vijay, one finds

his introduction short, crisp and does not boast of one‟s achievements . He studied every available print of

BPHS and also manuscripts and then came to his conclusion, yet instead of writing a 10 page introduction

which other writers would he has just said it in a page. We would request some good samaratarian to

donate a small amount by cheque payment in the name of G Vijay to this elderly man. You can send the

cheque to us.

Any serious student of astrology will re-read this work 20- 30 times in years to come; it‟s anotherLaghu Parasari – The Gita Of Astrology. - SA Editor



Introduction

hile I was going through the different works of Parasara, I found certain

contradictions and mistakes. I found in the beginning of these books the

sloka Sarve Trikona Netarou

sveR iÇkae[ netarae ¢ha> zu É)làda>

pty iÇ;fayana< yid pap)làda>॥ ० - २

Meaning that all the Lords of the Konas will give good results and the Lords of three, six

and eleven evil results. The Lords of one, five and nine that give good results are the odd

bhavas, so also three and eleven as opposed to nine and five respectively. The even

number six in the middle made me think and study how far it is correct. It may be a later

interpolation or a mistake in writing.

The benefics which give good results are one five and nine and the evil bhavas, which are

opposed to them must be seven, eleven and three respectively. Hence, as stated in theseworks, the malefics houses cannot be three, six and eleven but should be three, seven and

eleven. There are some complications with regard to some even bhavas too. In order to

verify my thesis I pursued different printed works, manuscripts and palm leaves. In the

Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram published by Messers Kheladilal Sankata Prasad,

Publishers and Printers, 61/92 Bulanala, Varanasi-1, the terms Trimadaya is found

instead of TRISHADAYA in page no. 187 (see Appendix). Trimadaya means three seven

and eleven.

When I started writing Quintessence of Parasara, I came across „Hora Nirnaya

Sangraham‟ of Kavyakanta Ganapati Muni. The following sloka found in this work

reinforced my thesis.

।

॥ ० - १

W



Intelligence, Penance, Birth (bhavas five, nine, one) are called Konas and the seventh

bhavas of these are pratipas or negatives. Six, eight and twelve are Trikas and the rest are

BHOGAS.

In the Telugu Version of this work, some mistakes, not correctly representing theoriginal, and in some places, what are contrary to the original are found.

Ganapathi Muni has expounded Parasara‟s doctrine in a simple manner for the scholars

who lived in Gokarna Kshetram. It is but difficult for the beginners to understand this

work. Hence, in order to make it easier for the students the „HORA NIRNAYA

SANGRAHA‟ of the Great Ganapati Muni, I have undertaken the ambitious venture of

writing commentary to it. It is also necessary to find out how far Ganapathi Muni agrees

with Parasara and also the differences if any. This work is joined as a second part toPARASARA‟s VEDIC ASTROLOGY. It is for the readers to judge how far I am

successful in my venture.

May the Lord of luminaries whose rays open the gates of the abode of Vishnu‟s spouse bless us

with prosperity.

The author of this great work, Sri Ganapati Muni prays the king of planets, Sun (Surya),

in this verse, to bless the readers with prosperity.

॥ १ – २ ॥

Following the theory of the Sage Parasara, the son of Sakthi, I present this Hora Nirnaya

Sangraham for the delight of astrologers.

The author says that he is presenting here the substance of Hora Sastra as indicated by

Parasara, for the delight of astrologers.

From various works and contributions of astrology, one can come to the conclusion, that

the Hora Sastram of astrology was enunciated by the Great Sage Parasara. Hence, we



have reasons to believe after going through Sri Ganapathi Muni‟s contribution that the

whole thinking has revolved round Parasara‟s contribution and none else.

(I) Wherever the word (SAMBANDHA) is used in this text it should be understood as

the Full Aspect (POORNA DRISTI) of the planets concerned or their conjunction.

(II) Wherever the word (SAMYOGA) or (YOGA), (SAM

SARGA), (SANGAMA) are used, it should be understood as conjunction only.

(III) Wherever the word DRISTI (aspect) is used it should be understood as „PASADRISTI‟ ¼ or ARDHA DRISTI ½ or THRIPADA DRISTI ¾ or POORNA

DRISTI (full aspect).

(IV) Whenever the word DEVA is used it should be understood as Subha or Ati Subha (benefic

or major benefic).

(V) Whenever the word DAITYA is used it should be understood as Papa or Ati Papa (malefic

or Major malefic).

Now for the benefit of readers an interpretation for the above is given below. The author

has given here the meaning of a few words used in this work. Sambandha =

The conjunction or full aspect of planets. It is an association or relation.



(Samyoga) or (Yoga) or (Samsarga) or (samgama) = conjunction

of planets only. (Dristi) any one of the aspects of the planets (Generally 180 degrees

– full aspect, 90 degrees – ½ aspect, 45 degrees ¼ aspect, 135 degrees – ¾ aspect. These

four are said to be evil aspects. The rest 30, 60, 72, 120, 144, 150 are benefic aspects.)

(Deva) = Subha (Benefic) and Ati Subha (major benefic)

(Daitya) = Papi (malefic) and Ati Papi (major malefic).

These terms should be carefully understood as interpreted by Ganapathi Muni.

Ganapathi Muni in the following verse gives the fundamental rules of Parasara.

॥ १ – ४ ॥

dhīstapojanmakoṇāni pratīpatu tadastabham |

trikaṁ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamātyāni śeṣo bhoga ihocyate || 1–

4 ||

Of the twelve bhavas of a horoscope, the ascendant, the fifth and the ninth bhavas are named

KONAS (trines). The opposite bhavas of these ( Seventh – Eleventh – Third) are named

PRATIPAS ( meaning opposite of trines ). Sixth, Eighth and twelfth bhavas are names Trikas and

the remaining bhavas two, four and ten are named Bhoga (enjoyment of profit gain etc.)

The author explains how Parasara has divided the twelve bhavas into four groups. There

are six odd and six even bhavas.

Bhavas one, five and nine are Konas. The opposites of these bhavas Seven, Eleven and

Three respectively are Pratipas. Sixth, Eighth and Twelfth Bhavas are named Trikas.

The rest, Bhavas Two, Four and Ten are Bhogas. Of the above said four groups, some

are again renamed thus,

॥ १ – ५ ॥



dakṣiṇadhanaṣaṣṭā jñāḥ savyāḥ sukhamṛtivyayāḥ |

ramā''khyau mātṛdaśamau viṣṇvākhyau bhāgyapaṁcamau || 1 – 5 ||

Four and ten bhavas are named Lakshmi Sthanams, five and nine Vishnu Sthanams, two, six and

ten are Dakshnams; and four, eight and twelve are Savyams.

Here a deep study reveals that Dakshinas and Savyaas are mutually opposite bhavas (ten to

four; six to twelve; two to eight). This is just like Partipas opposing trines (eleven to

five; seven to one; three to nine).

In this way the twelve signs are divided into four main groups. The two groups Konas

(Trines) and Pratipas are odd and mutually opposite bhavas.

Similarly, the two groups Dakshinams and Savyas are even and mutually oppositebhavas.

Among Konas (Trines), the fifth and ninth are named Vishnu Sthanams. Among

bhogas (gains), the fourth and tenth are named Lakshmi Sthanams.

॥ १ – ६ ॥

paṁcamasya ca rā jyasya dvitīyaḥ śatrurātmataḥ |

vyayaścaturthatapasordvayaṁ lagnasya sasmaram || 1 – 6 ||

To the fifth bhava and the tenth bhava, their second bhavas are inimical. To the ninth bhava and

the fourth bhava, their twelfth bhavas are inimical. For the Ascendant, both its second and twelfth

are inimical. The seventh to each of them is inimical.

To be clearer, nearest Trikas to Vishnu Sthanams and the nearest Pratipas to Lakshmi

Sthanams are inimical to them.

॥ १ – ७ ॥

svataṁtrā ayujo bhāvāḥ parataṁtrā yujo matāḥ |

koṇabhogāḥ śubhāḥ proktāḥ śeṣāḥ pāpāḥ svabhāvataḥ || 1 – 7 ||



All the odd bhavas are independent, all the even bhavas, are dependent. Konas and the Bhogas are

Benefics – Trikas and Pratipas are malefics.

॥ १ – ८ ॥

nisargapadasadbhāve pāpāḥ sūryasutādayaḥ |

śubhā gurvādayaśceti jñeyaṁ sāmānyaśāstrataḥ || 1 – 8 ||

By nature Sani etc., are malefics, Guru etc., are benefics. This can be known from other works.

॥ १ – ९ ॥

phalānyati śubhādīnāṁ daśāsveva vinirdiśet |

kālānapekṣaṁ vaktavyaṁ rā jayogādi jātake || 1 – 9 ||

The results of a horoscope can be predicted in the dasas of ati shubha grahas and so on. ButRaja

Yoga should be predicted irrespective of time.

Regarding Ati Subha etc. is explained in the following chapters.

The term Ati Subha will be defined in the next chapter.

Ganapathi Muni declares that Rajayoga (Dhanayoga etc.) should be predicted to a person

without considering the dasa or bhukti period. Hence, Rajayoga may hold good for the

whole span of life.

॥ १ – १० ॥

śrīpateḥ ṣaḍvidhaṁvīryaṁ saṁ jñāriṣṭe varāhataḥ |

phalāni vindannetasmāddaivajño vijayo bhavet || 1 – 10 ||

After learning the Shadbalas of planets from Sripathi‟s work, and the fundamentals and

Balaristha from Varahamihira‟s works, if one attempts to predict according to this work, that

person will never face any defeat.



From this it is very clear that Ganapathi Muni approves of Sripathi‟s Shadbala and

Varaha‟s fundamentals and Balaristas only.

Summary

The twelve houses have been divided into two main groups odd and even signs (bhavas).

Again among the odd bhavas one, five and nine are called KONAS (Benefics). Three –

Seven – Eleven are called Pratipas (the opposite of Konas and hence malefics).

Similarly, the even bhavas are also divided as:

Six – Eight – Twelve the Trikas (asubhas or malefics)

Two – Four – ten bhogas (Subhas or benefics)

Again Trikas and Bhogas are rearranged thus: two, six and ten are Dakshinas (the

succeeding bhavas to Konas), Four, eighth and twelfth are Savyas (the preceding bhavas

to Konas), of the even bhavas, four and ten are named Lakshmi Sthanams; of the odd

bhavas, five and nine Vishnu Sthanams.

For the Lakshmi Sthanas, their nearest Pratipas are inimical to them. For the Vishnu

Sthanas, their nearest Trikas are inimical to them. For the Lagna (ascendant) both the

preceding and the succeeding bhavas are inimical to it.

Thus to fourth bhava third bhava is inimical.

to tenth bhava eleventh bhava is inimical

to fifth bhava Sixth bhava is inimical

to ninth bhava eighth bhava is inimical

to Lagna second and twelfth bhavas are inimical

Generally, for any bhava, its opposite bhava is inimical to it.

The odd bhavas are independent while the even bhavas are dependent.

Ganapathi Muni approves the SHADBALAS of Sripati and the fundamentals and

BALARISHTAS of Varahamihira‟s works.

Glossary:

Sambandha - conjunction of planets or full aspect of planets.



Samyooga, Yoga, samsarga and sangama means only conjunction of planets.

Drishti - any kind of aspect of the planets.

Deva - Benefic or Major Benefic

Daitya - Malefic or Major Malefic.

॥ २ - १॥

The Lord of a Kona and a Bhoga; the Lord of a Kona and a Trika; the Lord of a Bhoga and a

Pratipa; and the Lord of a Trika and a Pratheepa are said to be Major Benefics, etc. for the planets

starting from Mars.

The Tara grahas, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn the Lords are of two bhavas

each. One is odd while the other even. No planet can get the Lordship of two odd

bhavas or two even bhavas. They are said to be Ati Subha, Subha, Papa and Ati Papa as

explained below. Ati Subh (Major benefic) is the Lord of a Kona and Bhoga. Subha

(benefic) is the Lord of a Kona and Trika. Papa (malefic) is the Lord of a Bhoga and

Pratipa. Ati papa (Major malefic) is the Lord of a Trika and Pratipa.

।

॥ २ – २ ॥

api svabhāvataḥ pāpaṁ parataṁtratayā trikam |

koṇena balinā śliṣṭaṁ bhavati kṣīṇavikramam || 2 – 2 ||

Even though the Lord of dependent Trikas are malefic, by being the Lord of a Kona also, they

cannot be Malefic.



As stated in the previous chapter (sloka 8), a planet gets the Lordship of an odd sign and

an even sign. The odd sign Lordship being stronger, the Kona being an independent

benefic (Subha), the malefic results of the dependent Trika is over-powered by the

benefic results of a Kona. Hence, the planet which is both a Kona and Trika Lord

becomes Subha.

।

॥ २ – ३ ॥

parataṁtratayā bhogaḥ svabhāvena śubho'pisan |

pāpapratīpasaṁśleṣādbhavati svaguṇāccyutaḥ || 2 – 3 ||

Even though the Lord of Bhogas are benefics, begetting the Lord of Praptipas they cannot do good.

Just as the malefic Trika Lord becomes a benefic by being the Lord of a Kona too, the

benefic dependent Bhoga Lord by its Second Lordship as an independent malefic pratipa,

becomes a malefic.

॥ २ – ४ ॥

tanoḥ sāmānyato mitramapi śatrurviśeṣataḥ |

dvitīyo'tastayorīśo nāmnāgrayo'nantaraḥ phale || 2 – 4 ||

Generally, even though the second bhava and its Lord are friendly to the Ascendant, they are said

to be more inimical to it. Name sake they are great, but in giving results they are the least. (This

will be explained in the next chapter)

।

॥ २ – ५ ॥

koṇāni svasamīpasthatrikayuṁ jiśubhāni cet |

nānvayādbhāvaśaktīnāṁ dveṣisvavyayayoḥ kṣayāt || 2 – 5 ||



Though the Lords of Konas are benevolent, if they join the Lords of the nearest Trikas, they cannot

do good. So, if they are in the nearest Trikas they cannot do good as they lose power (see slokas 7

chap 1)

Here the relation between the Lords of Konas (one-five-nine) and their nearest Trikas is

explained. The Konas are one, five and nine bhavas; Trikas Six, Eight, Twelve bhavas.

For the first Kona (ascendant) the twelfth is the nearest. So if the Lord of ascendant is in

twelve or if he joins the Lord of twelve he cannot do good. Similarly, the relationship

between the five and six and that of nine and eight are not beneficial.

Till now the author has dealt with the five Tara grahas, Mars – Mercury – Jupiter –

Venus and Saturn, in the following verses he refers to the Mandala Grahas – Sun and

Moon.

ÉaSv<tae di][a> sVya> zIta<zae> sVydi][a>

bhāsvaṁto dakṣiṇāḥ savyāḥ śītāśoḥ savyadakṣiṇāḥ |

Sun as Lord of Dakshinas (two – six – ten bhavas) is benefic but as Lord of Savyas (four – eight –

twelve bhavas) malefic. Moon as Lord of Dakshinas (two – six – ten) malefic, but as Lord of

Savyas (four – eight – twelve) benefic. As Lord of Konas both are Benefics and as Lords of

Pratipas both are malefics.

Sun and Moon are getting Lordship of a Single sign. As Lords of Konas and Pratipas

they give the same results, as the Tara grahas. As Lords of even signs the Mandala

grahas, give different results. The beneficial Lordship for Sun is malicious to Moon andvice-versa. The reason for this is explained in the next slokas.

।

Sun as Lord of sixth bhava, Moon as Lord of eighth bhava or twelfth bhava are not malicious.

Moreover, they are Benefics as they are friendly to the Lord of Ascendant.

Sun is the Lord six for Meena Ascendant. Moon is the Lord eight for Dhanus Ascendant

and Lord of Twelve for Simha Ascendant. So this rule is applicable to those ascendants.

As stated in sloka eight of chapter one, the Lords of the Trikas (six- eight – twelve) aremalefics, But Sun and Moon for the said Ascendants are not evil as they are friendly to

the Lords of these Ascendants. This rule will be clear in the next chapter.

।

lagnanāthāsuhṛtvena daurbalyādapi taddiśi |na śubhāvityataḥ pāpāvimau vāhanakarmapau || 2 – 8 ||

Sun as Lord of fourth bhava and Moon as Lord of tenth bhava are not benefics, but on the other

hand, they are malicious as they are inimical to the Lord of Ascendant.

Sun is the Lord of four for Vrishabha lagna (Ascendant) and Moon is the Lord of ten for

Tula Ascendant. So, this is applicable to these two ascendants only. A deep study of the

above conditions reveal the following facts:

For any ascendant, Lord of one (Ascendant), five and nine are benefics. The Lords of

Three – Seven and Eleven are malefics.

If odd signs (Mesha Mithuna Simha Tula Dhanus Kumbha) are Ascendants,

the Lords of Dakshinas (the succeeding bhavas of Konas: two six ten) are malefics.

The Lords of Savyas (the preceding bhavas: four eight twelve) are benefics.

If even signs (Rishabha Karkata Kanya Vrischika Makara Meena) are

Ascendants, then the Lords of Dakshinas (two six ten) are benefics and the Lords of

Savyas (four eight twelve) are malefics.

Thus the benefics and malefics of any ascendant may be determined. In the next verse,

the conditions for the chaya grahas Rahu and Ketu are explained.

।

॥ २ – ९ ॥



phale tamograhau syātāṁ saṁ baddhagrahasaṁnnibhau |

Rahu and Ketu will give the results similar to that of the planets with whom they combine. If this

does not occur, they give the results similar to that of the Lords of the bhavas they are positioned

in.

Summary:

1. Dual Lordship of planets: (for Tara grahas only)

A) If a planet is a Lord of both a Kona (one, five or nine) and bhoga (two – four or ten)

it becomes a Major Benefic.

B) Lordship of a Kona (one – five or nine) and Trika (six – eight or twelve) – Benefic.

C)

Lordship of a Bhoga and Pratipa (three – seven – eleven) Malefic.

D) Lordship of a Trika and Pratipa – Major Malefic.

2. Sun and Moon:

A) Sun being the Lord of succeeding bhavas to Konas is a benefic.

B) Sun as Lord of preceding bhavas to Konas is malefic.

C) Moon as the Lord of succeeding bhavas to Konas is Malefic.

D) Moon as the Lord of preceding bhavas to Konas is benefic.

3. Rahu and Ketu:

A) If conjunct with any planet, give the results of that planet either malefic or benefic.

B) If positioned alone, they give the results of the Lord of that Bhava which may be

good or bad.

For the twelve Ascendants the major benefic, benefic, malefic and major malefic are

given in the above table. Rahu and Ketu are not mentioned in this table since they give

results of the planets with which they combine or that of the Lord of the bhava in which

they are placed.

yathāpurvaṁ balaṁ jñyaṁ pratiyogaṁ suparvaṇām |

yathottaraṁ ca daityānāṁ tāratamyavinirṇaye || 3 – 8 ||

In the case of conjunction of planets, the strength of a planet has that of the other planet, which has

more strength as mentioned in the above gradation. This will be explained in the ensuing chapter.

In each yoga the quality of yoga has to be assessed as per the strength of the planets i.e

subhaati subha and paapaati papa planets.

॥ ३ - ९ ॥

śaniśukrabudharkṣāṇā mitare daityasaṁ jñakāḥ |

For the bhavas owned by Saturn, Venus and Mercury, the bhavas owned by other planets become

Daityas (malefics). These three bhavas owned by (Saturn – Venus – and Mercury) are the

Daityas (malefics) for the other bhavas.

Simplifying Parasaras version, Ganapathi Muni has divided the seven planets into two

groups.

1. Saturn, Mercury and Venus

2. Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter

Each group is malefic to the other group.

Chapter 4

saṁbaṁdhasthitivicāraṇā

Relationship Position Of Planets:



As stated in the earlier chapters, Sambandha or relationship implies conjunction of

planets or mutual full aspect or the full aspect of one planet on another. Sthiti refers to

the position of a planet in a bhava.

। s<yaege:vvrae ॥ ४ - १॥ trayāṇāṁ punarāḍhyānāṁ dvayo ratiśubhādiṣu |

saṁyogeṣvavaro yogī śreṣṭhaḥ svāvarasaṁ jñakaḥ || 4 - 1 ||

Of the three planets, Major Benefic, Benefic and Malefic, if any two combine, the inferior planet

gives good results but the superior can not be as effective as it should be.

If a Major Benefic (Lakshmi Sthanathipathi without Konadhipatyam) combines with a

malefic (Lakshmi Sthanathipathi with pratipadhi patyam) only the malefic gives good

results, but the results of the major benefic get reduced. If the malefic (Lakshmi

Sthanathipathi with Prateepadhipatyam) combines with a benefic (konadhipatyam with

trikonadhipatyam) it gives good results reducing the results of the benefic.

। ॥ ४ - २॥

śrīkeśaveśayoryoge devayoryogināvubhau |

If a Lord of Lakshmi Sthana (Lord of 4 or 10) not having the Lordship of a Pratheepa (3, 7, 11)

joined the Lord of a VISHNU STHANA (five or nine) both will give superb results. Similarly,

if the Lords of eight and twelve having Pratipadhipatyam (the DAITYAS three, seven, eleven)conjoin both the planets give superb results.

A deep study reveals that the first part of the 1st line of the sloka is applicable to odd signs

LAGNAS, and the second part to that of the even signed. In the case of odd signs, if the

fourth house Lord combines with the Lord of fifth or ninth both the Lords four and five

give superb results. In the case of even signed lagnas the Lords of ten should conjoin

with fifth or ninth Lords.



The term “Devayoh” or divine in the first line indicates that the Lakshmi Sthanas four

and ten should not be a Daitya (the Lord of three, seven or eleven). Similarly, in the

second line Daitya indicates that the eight and twelfth Lord should not be a Kona Lord.

The first condition is applicable to the odd signed lagnas only, and the second to the even

signed lagnas.

If Lord of all the bhavas are placed in the houses of the planets of their groups, or conjoin with the

Lords of the same group, they give good results.

For example, if any two of the planets, Saturn, Venus and Mercury conjoin or are placed

in their bhavas, they give good results. Similarly, the other planets Sun, Moon, Mars and

Jupiter should conjoin with Planets within the group or be positioned in any of their

bhavas.

In all these above said yogas of three (Major Benefic, Benefic and malefic) in the case of theirmutual full aspects, the weaker planet gives good results but the strength of the stronger planet

does not get reduced by the aspect of the weaker.

In all these yogas, if the stronger planet fully aspects the weaker, though the weaker does not

aspect the stronger, the weaker planet gives good results.

।

॥ ४ - ६॥

devaśrī haripau viṣṇudevaśrīgau tu yoginau |

If Lakshmi Sthanadipathi with Konadhipatyams (Major Benefic) stays in a Vishnu Stanam and

Vice-versa they both give good results. If a Lakshmi Sthanadhipathi with a pratipadhipatyam

(Papi) is positioned in a Vishnu Sthanam, it becomes a Benefic.

From the second line we can infer that the Vishnusthnathipathi positioned in the

pratipasthanam gets weakened.

।

॥ ४ - ७॥

atipāpātiśubhayoryoge pūrvaḥ śubho bhavet |

When a Major Malefic conjoins a Major Benefic, the former becomes a Benefic but the latter (the

Major Benefic) becomes a Malefic. Their qualities interchange by conjunction.

।

॥ ४ - ८॥

yuktaḥ śubhe nātipāpaḥ pāpena ca śubho bhavet |

If a Major Malefic joins a Benefic or a Malefic, the Major Malefic gives good results. Here, the

strength of the Benefic does not get reduced but enhanced.

In this combination, two Lords or Trikas – one having the Lordship of a Kona and the

other of a Prateepa – are considered.



Major Malefic – Lord of Trika (six – eight – twelve) and also a Prateepa (three, seven

– eleven)

Benefic – Lord of a Trika (six – eight – twelve) and also a Kona (one – five – nine)

Major Malefic – gives good results

Benefic – Becomes stronger in giving good results

For Mesha Lagna, if Jupiter (Benefic being Lord of nine and twelve) and Mercury (Major

Malefic Lord of three and six) combine, Jupiter gives superb yoga.

When any three planets (of the four categories) conjoin, the superior loses its strength, the inferior

becomes a subha and the middle one will give superb yoga.

Of the four categories Major Benefic, Benefic, Malefic and Major Malefic following

combinations are possible:

1.

Major Benefic, Benefic, Malefic2. Major Benefic, Malefic, Major Malefic

3. Major Benefic, Benefic, Major Malefic

4. Benefic, Malefic, Major Malefic

In the first three cases Major Benefic loses its strength. Similarly, the Benefic in the

fourth case loses its strength.

2.

Malefic or Major Malefic becomes Benefic.3. The middle one gives superb yoga.

The Lord of two is a greater evil than the Lord of twelve, and the Lord of seven is a greater evil

than the Lord of two. Similarly, the strength of the Pratipas positioned in these bhavas and thoseconjoined with the Lords of these bhavas have to be determined.

Lord of the second bhava is stronger than the Lord of twelve, Lord of seventh bhava is

stronger than the Lord of the second bhava.

A planet positioned in the twelfth bhava is stronger than the Lord of seven. A planet

positioned in the second bhava is stronger than the planet in the twelfth. A planet in the

seventh bhava is stronger than the planet in the second.

A Prathipadhipathi in conjunction with the Lord of twelve is stronger than the planet in

the seventh bhava. A pratipadhipathi in conjunction with the Lord of two is stronger

than the Pratipadhipati in conjunction with the Lord of twelve. A pratipadhipathi in

conjunction with the Lord of seven is stronger than the Pratipadhipathi in conjunction

with the Lord of the second bhava.

Of the pratipas (Lords of three, seven, eleven) staying in these Bhavas the strongest is the naturalBenefic. Of the Pratipas which join the Lords of twelve or two or seven, the Naisargika papi

(natural malefic) is stronger.

Of the Pratipas (Lords of three, seven or eleven) staying in the bhavas of twelve or two

or seven, a natural benefic (Full Moon, Jupiter, Venus or Mercury) is stronger. If a

natural malefic (Sun, Mars, Saturn, New Moon) being a Pratipa (Lord of three – seven –

eleven bhavas) joining the Lord of twelve, two or seven, becomes stronger in causing

death.

eleven), the Lord of twelve or two with Konadhipatyam becomes the Maraka, in the above said

gradation.

Supposing if a prathipa Lord is not found having the above stated conditions then either

the Lord of twelve or two being the Lord of a Kona also with the above given conditions

will take away the life.

short as explained in the following chapters.

Summary

I. (a) Bhavas 12, 2 & 7 are enemies of Lagna. Any Lord of 12, 2 or 7 in the

ascending order is stronger in causing death.

(b) Planets positioned in these Bhavas in the same order are stronger. In this

case natural benefics are powerful than the natural malefics.

(c) Pratipas in conjunction with the Lords of 12, 2 or 7 in the same gradation

are the strongest in causing death in this case. Natural Malefics are more

powerful than the Natural Benefics.

II. If the above conditions are not found a Kona Lord having the Lordship of 12

or 2 (in the ascending order) is a Maraka.

III. The Lord of 8 enhances the span of Life instead of causing death

other Kona Lords. If afflicted it gives its good results in the vidasas of the Prathipa planets

।

॥ ६ - ६॥

agataujāḥ phalaṁ devo bhinnajātīya bhuktiṣu |

The Lord of Kona when not afflicted gives mixed results in its opposite Pratipa bhuktis. When

afflicted gives mixed results in Kona Lords bhuktis.

The term affliction is explained in the sloka ten of this chapter. Venus as a Benefic Lord

of Kona (for Kanya Lagna) if not afflicted gives its good results in the Bhuktis of the

other Kona Lords, Saturn and Mercury. It gives mixed results in the bhuktis of Pratipas.

If it is afflicted, it gives its good results in the bhuktis of the Pratipa Lords (three, seven,

eleven) and mixed results in the bhuktis of its own group.

In other words, if this Venus, is in conjunction with any of the opposite planet (Lords of

three, seven, eleven) or aspected by it, the good results of Venus will be given in the

bhuktis of the Pratipa planets.

॥ ६ - ७॥

The Lord of Pratipa (three, seven or eleven) if not afflicted, gives its evil results in the bhuktis of

Kona Lords of its dasa. If afflicted (by Kona Lord) it gives its results in other Pratipa graha

bhuktis.

॥ ६ - ८॥

agataujāḥ phalaṁ dadyāt svajātīya bhuktiṣu |

The Lord of Pratipa when not afflicted gives mixed results in Pratipa graha bhuktis, if afflicted(by the Lord of Kona) gives mixed results in the bhuktis of the Lords of Konas.

If Guru the Pratipa Lord (malefic) is not afflicted, its evil results will be given in Saturn

Venus, Mercury (Kona Lords) bhuktis and mixed results in Pratipa graha bhuktis. If

Guru is afflicted, in the bhuktis of Sun, Moon, Mars bad results occur, and mixed results

in the bhuktis of Kona Lords.

।

॥ ६ - ९॥

yena svamojodaityasya vihanyeta suparvaṇā |

In the bhukti of the afflicting planet, the result will be the same as of the group.

If a Kona Lord is afflicted by a Pratipa Lord, then in the bhukti of that Pratipa Lord of

that Konadhipati dasa, it gives good results. If a Pratipa Lord is afflicted by a

Konadhipati, in the bhukti of that Konadhipati of that Pratipa dasa it gives mixed results.

Malignancy damages (afflicts) the splendour of a benefic or major benefic.

Auspiciousness damages (afflicts) the vigour of a malefic or a major malefic.

Malignancy = If a Kona Lord is in conjunction with or aspected by a Pratipa Lord or

placed in the bhava of a Pratipa.

Auspiciousness = If a Pratipa Lord is in conjunction with or aspected by a Kona Lord or

positioned in the bhava of a Kona.

।

॥ ६ - ११॥ anyonyabhuktau śukrārkī viśeṣeṇaphalapradau |

If Venus and Saturn are Benefics or Major Benefics to any Lagna (Lords of Konas) they will give

peculiarly contrary results in their bhuktis. If they are pratipas for any Lagna, they never give

evil results in their bhuktis.

For Rishabha, Mithuna, Kanya, Tula, Kumbha and Makara Lagnas, Saturn and Venusare Benefics. For these Lagnas during Sani dasa, Sukra bhukti and Sukra dasa, Sani

Bhukti instead of giving their good results, peculiarly they give bad results. For the other

Lagnas, they will not give malefic results.

।

॥ ६ - १२॥ yogī nimittabhītasya bhuktau śreyaḥ phalapradaḥ |

yogī nimittabhūtasya bhuktau śreyaḥ phalapradaḥ || 6 - 12 ||

In a yoga graha dasa, a planet that is the cause of that yoga gives good results in its bhuktis.

Similarly, if the dasa of a planet occurs in between two yoga karaka dasas, of its own group, it will

give good results

Example:

1. For Dhanu lagna Kuja and Guru are yogakaraka grahas and their dasas are yoga

dasas.



Rahu dasa which comes between these two dasas also gives good results.

2. Guru dasa has given good results. The dasa of Budha aspected by Guru gives good

results. The Sani dasa which comes in between does not give bad results.

।

॥ ६ - १३॥

yaḥ śubho vyatirekeṇa yaḥ pāpo vyatirekataḥ |

phalaṁ vadettaddaśayo bhuktināthānusārataḥ || 6 - 13 ||

In the dasa periods of Sun and Moon, the results of the bhuktis of the other planets should bepredicted according to the Lords of the bhuktis.

According to Chapter II sloka six, surya as Lord of two, six, ten is Benefic, but for the

same bhavas Chandra is malefic. The Lordship of four, eight and twelve bhavas is

malicious for Sun, but benefic for Moon. The terms Vyatireka Subha and Vyatireka

Papa are applicable to Sun and Moon only in this sense. So in the dasas of these two

planets, the results should be predicted for the bhuktis, based not on the dasa Lord as in

the previous cases.

।

॥ ६ - १४॥

phalamiṣṭamaniṣṭaṁ vā devo daityo'thavā grahāḥ |

svabhuktau na diśennṛṇāṁ mārakastu diśektvacit || 6 - 14 ||

The Lord of Kona or Pratipa in its own bhukti cannot give either good or bad results. Rarely death

occurs in a bhukti (of any planet either good or bad).3

If a maraka graha conjoins a yogakaraka graha death occurs in the swabhukti of the

yogakaraka graha dasa.

Meaning:

In any yoga karaka dasa, Raja Yoga starts in the bhukti of a Maraka Graha who is related

(who gets aspect of Yoga Karaka Graha) to that dasa lord (Yoga Karaka). The Raja Yoga

which started thus increases gradually in the bhuktis of malefic (papa) grahas and(subha) benefic grahas related to the Yoga Karaka dasa lord. If they are not related, (to

the said yoga karaka dasa lord) the Rajayoga is maintained to the same extent in the

bhuktis of asubha grahas, yogakaraka grahas, and subha grahas (without any increase or

decrease).

If a Yogakaraka Graha is in conjunction (yuti) with a maraca graha then death occurs in

the Yogakaraka Graha dasa swabhukti itself after giving Raja Yoga.

While judging the strength of the planets amongst the (above said) Pratipas etc. in their friends or

enemies houses those planets placed in their own houses or exalted houses or related to natural

benefics (either by aspect or conjunction) are to be considered stronger in the ascending order.

(a) In these two verses, (two and three); if the Lords of Pratipas, Lakshmi Sthanas

and Konas are in their own bhavas they are strong in giving results.

(b) If they are in their own or exalted places, which should not be their enemy‟s place,

they are stronger than the first condition. If a planet‟s exalted bhava happens to

be its enemy‟s house as in the case of Mars (in Makara), Venus (in Meena) and

Moon in Rishaba) it loses its strength.

(c)

A particular bhava is related to its own Lord or to a natural benefic it getsstrength. Here relation implies either position or full aspect.

Among the three conditions a, b, c, „C‟ is the strongest. Though exalted a planet should

not be in its enemy‟s house.

The lords of Pratipas and Konas get Trikas as their 2nd bhava. Even if they stay in these

Trikas, they give the same results as the Lords of Konas or Pratipas. 5

This is a very important point missed by even senior most astrologers and something that we have shown in many articlesespecially the article series of Jupiter in Dual signs and the articles on Guaranteed Astrologer series. When a house is aspected by its own lord, it becomes strong but strong to do what good or bad? Most take the word strong to do good but this is not the c ase.

Sri G Vijay is the first astrologer we have found in our limited experience to put it in print. One would benefit readingJatakadesha Marga, a classic from kerala to explore this further.- SA

If a Bhava is related (aspected or conjunct) to Natural Malefics (Sun – Mars – Saturn – and

New Moon) other than its Lord, or if the Lord of a Bhava is placed in its Neecha or Trika houses

(six, eight, twelve), the strength of the Bhava gets destroyed.

In other words, any natural Malefics, relation to a Bhava or placement of its Lord in its

Neecha (deblitated) sign or Trika position afflicts the bhava. But the relation of its own

Lord even if it is a natural Malefic does not weaken a Bhava.

ubhayorbalinoḥ śeṣe hīne syānmadhyadīrghakam |

śeṣetvahīnedīrghāplaṁ sarveṣāṁ paramaṁ bale || 7 - 7 ||

While determining the span of life, the strength of the Lagna, eighth bhava and Chandra Lagna

are to be judged. If all the three are weak, it amounts to short life; and if two are weak moderate

life.

If two are strong and one weak, it is moderately long. If the third one is also not weak, it amounts

to little short of long life. If all are strong the span of life will be long.

॥ ७ - ८॥

yathaivalganādbhāvānāṁ sarveṣāmanvavekṣaṇam |tathā bhavati candrācca sūryoccetyapare jaguḥ || 7 - 8 ||

As we analyse the bhavas from the Ascendant, the same (result) happens from Chandra too.

Others study from SUN also.

As all the bhavas are determined from the ascendant, they are also to be judged from

Moon. Some judge from Sun.

Chapter 8

yogādhyāyaḥ

Yogas

।

॥ ८ - १॥

araṁdhrāyāśleṣadoṣau dharmakarmādhināyakau |

rā jayogakarau syātāṁ saṁ baṁdhāt parivartanāt || 8 - 1 ||

The Lords of nine and ten not being the Lords of eighth and eleven respectively, give Raja yoga

either by relationship (full aspect or conjunction) or by exchange of bhavas.

Refer to Part 1, Raja Yoga (p.64) and Part II chap 1.

।

॥ ८ - २॥ lagneśayogadṛṣṭibhyāṁ yogo'yaṁ prabalobhavet |

raṁdhreśvarasya daityasya bhavedyogena durbalaḥ || 8 - 2 ||



If the Lord of Lagna either aspects or joins this yoga, the yoga gets strengthened. If the Malefic

Lord of eighth joins, the yoga gets ruined.

In this combination, the ninth Lord should not be the eighth Lord and the tenth Lord

should not be the eleventh Lord. Further, the malefic eighth Lord should not join them.But the same eighth Lord which is also the Lord of five, as in the case of Simha Lagna

(Jupiter is the Lord of eighth & five) does not spoil the yoga if it conjoins Lord of nine

and ten or joins either of them if they exchange places. This yoga gets strengthened

when the Lord of Lagna joins or aspects them.

।

॥ ८ - ३॥

aṣaṣṭhāyāśleṣadoṣau buddhikarmādhināyakau |

rā jayogakarau syātāṁ saṁ baṁdhāt parivartanāt || 8 - 3 ||

If the Lord of five and ten not being the Lord of six or eleven respectively by their relationship or

exchange produce Raja yoga as stated earlier.

।

॥ ८ - ४॥

ayaṁ ca yogo lagneśadṛgyogā bhyāṁ balī bhavet |

ṣaṣṭheśvarasya daityasya bhavedyogena durbalaḥ || 8 - 4 ||

This yoga becomes stronger by the aspect or conjunction of the Lord of Lagna. It is destroyed by

the conjunction of the malefic Lord of Six.

As the ninth Lord should not be the Lord of eight, the Lord five should not be the Lord of

sixth bhava.

।

॥ ८ - ५॥ avyayeśāśleṣadoṣau lagnakarmādhināyakau |

rā jayogakarau prāgvat saṁ baṁdhāt parivartanāt || 8 - 5 ||



Similarly, Lords of one and ten produce Raja Yoga if they are not Lords of twelve and eleven

respectively.

। ॥ ८ - ६॥

viṣṇavīśayogadṛṣṭibhyāṁ yogo'yaṁ prabalo bhavet |

vyayeśvarasya daityasya bhavedyogena durbalaḥ || 8 - 6 ||

This yoga gets strengthened by the conjunction or aspect of the Lords of five or nine. It is

destroyed by the conjunction of the Lord of twelve.

।

॥ ८ - ७॥

rā jayogaparaścaṁdro yadi sarvagrahekṣitaḥ |

sarvagrahekṣitaṁ rā jyaṁ yadi yogo'nyo ucyate || 8 - 7 ||

yogastadbhāvasaṁ baṁdhī bhavetkaścidanuttamaḥ || 8 - 8 ||

।

॥ ८ - १०॥

caṁdrataścedayaṁ yogo buddhivṛddhikaro bhavet |

dhane vyaye cobhayatra śrīyogo maṁgalādibhiḥ || 8 - 10 ||

If the same yoga occurs from the Chandra Lagna (in three, six, ten, eleven from Moon), it

increases intelligence. If the five planets Mars etc. (tara grahas) are positioned in the second,twelfth or in both, Sriyoga is formed (which gives wealth).

।

॥ ८ - ११॥

yogaḥ kemudrimo nāma grahā bhāve prakīrtitaḥ |

kendrasthite sagrahe vā caṁdrenāyamitisthitiḥ || 8 - 11 ||

If there are no planets in the second or twelfth bhavas from Moon, it is calledKemadruma Yoga.
