?7REA7RD By B"4 "97RE VE4!"T" R")"4 Editor- T%E "STR797 $6"9 )" ";$4E $ have the pleasure to present herewith the Sixth and revised edition of the English Translation of the first two "dhyayas of :"$)$4$S=TR"S by my revered grandfather late &rofessor B. Suryanarain Rao. :aimini is held in very great esteem throughout $ndia not only for his philosophi#al aphorisms but for his astrologi#al writings also. :"$)$4$S=TR"S as presented in these pages deals with a system of astrology that has no parallel in the existing methods. The sutras are hard nuts to #ra#k and &rofessor Rao has tried his utmost to explain the aphorisms as #learly and #onvin#ingly as possible. $ have not meddled with either the translation or the 47TES as given by &rof. Rao for fear of affe#ting the sense. $ have however added my own remarks by way of annotations wherever $ felt that an aphorism or aphorisms

reBuired further elu#idation. &rofessor Rao is the only s#holar in $ndia to have attempted an English Translation of :aimini. Therefore the #ultured publi# should feel grateful to him for having enabled them to have a##ess to a system of astrologi#al literature whi#h is uniBue in its own way. )y own publi#ation ST=D$ES $4 :"$)$4$ "STR797 8 deals with the :aimini system in an exhaustive manner with examples. The Translation herewith presented has been thoroughly revised by me and it is hoped readers will be highly benefited by a #areful study of his book. Bangalore B. V. R")"4

&RE?"6E The best $ndian s#ien#es' religion' philosophy' dramas' literature' politi#s andC epi#s are the produ#tions of the )aharishis. These are intelle#tual giants like the %imalayan )ountains and all others in the world are pigmies before them. The why of this may not be known to us' but the fa#ts are there. Aorks' therefore' from the brains of the )aharishis stand unrivalled and they are #olossal in nature. )aharishi :aimini is a great intelle#t and his sutras are very valuable. $ make no apology to introdu#e them to the publi# in the

simplest' English garb. The sutras will and have to speak for themselves. They are more than five thousand years old and valuable to #ommand attention and respe#t from all #lasses of readers' $ndian or ?oreign. Those whi#h have stood brilliantly for ( or ., thousand years without losing their brillian#y are real intelle#tual gems whi#h everybody should #ovet to possess. These five thousand years' instead of diminishing their lustre' have added further brillian#y to the sutras. The #ommentators have done invaluable servi#e and all their extensive interpretations and #lear arguments #annot be in#orporated or embodied in short notes of mine. $f they are to be assimilated into the real explanations of the sutras' the bulk of the present volume would in#rease by ten*fold and #ause tremendous dis#ouragement to the students who would like to pursue the easiest way' and learn something of :aimini sutras' whi#h have been sealed letters to the English knowing publi#. Even the great Sanskrit s#holars find the sutras hard nuts to #ra#k and often they give them up for want of patien#e' devotion and te#hni#al diffi#ulties in the way. $ have been only a student in "strology and kindred s#ien#es' although $ have had (( years of study and pra#ti#e. "strology is a grand o#ean' #ontaining

four '. hundred thousand stanDas or verses' and reBuires #ertainly #enturies for its grasp and #omprehension. "fter all our brains #an take in only a few stanDas from the extensive literature' but for brilliant intelle#ts' a knowledge of the few fundamental prin#iples will enable them to grasp the s#ien#es and make good progress in the #ourse of a few years $ have done my best in this English Translation' and $ leave the readers to Eudge of my honest labours in propounding sutrai# prin#iples. Aithin my humble knowledge none of our learned s#holars seem to have taken the trouble' or made attempts to translate these aphorisms of )aharishi :aimini and $ am proud to say $ am the first in the field of translation to have undertaken this diffi#ult task. 6onstru#tive #riti#isms are always wel#ome and $ shall be grateful to them who offer su#h observations. Destru#tive #riti#isms must be treated with supreme #ontempt. 7ne who is not an adept in a subEe#t will be a sorry #riti#. %e #an be left alone. B. S=R8"4"R"$4 R"7

for luxury. The profundity and brevity of these sutras have #alled forth the highest admiration from all readers during the last fifty #enturies. )y pen is too humble to do them Eusti#e or bring their maEesty before the publi# in that dignified form in whi#h the original sutras stand in Sanskrit. They eloBuently speak for their intrinsi# value. To frame short sutras with #omprehensive meanings is not given to ordinary mortals. )aharishis of "ryavartha alone have framed sutias. 4one else #ould do them. 4o one has done them in the world. $t reBuires not only the #ommand over the Sanskrit language but it also reBuires #onsummate s#holarship in the S#ien#e of "strology and kindred subEe#t to frame sutras. The readers should parti#ularly remember that :yothisha in Sanskrit means light and the sense whi#h sees and feels the light. $t is the #lear vision of the Vedas. 7f the Vedi# shadangas this is the most important. Aithout the help of :yotisha' Vedas would be blind. Ae want #lear 9ight over all our events' past' present' and the most desirable future. Ahat other s#ien#es #an pretend or have pretended to do this servi#e for mankind F ?rom where and from what previous states of existen#e have we #ome F Ahat will be our su##ess and failures in the present state and where are we going to live after

the separation of :eeva from the 7eha or the 9ife from the physi#al stru#ture F Ahat are our thoughts' deeds and aspirations in this life' and how far do we su##eed in our aims and in what manner #an we do so F Do the planets influen#e us and are we dire#ted under their #ommand F $f not' what have they to do with us F %ow do they exer#ise their influen#es over us F and how #an we #orre#tly #al#ulate them and guide our destinies in their light' averting evils and enhan#ing good. Aho are the most famous writers on "strology' and what are their pretentions F "re there any other s#ien#es whi#h #an help us in these dire#tionsF "ll these and many more pertinent and relevant Buestions are asked' both by believers and non*believers of this s#ien#e. Su#h Buestions are no doubt very important and are to the point. $ am proud to say that almost all su#h relevant or irrelevant Buestions on "strology and remedies pres#ribed by "strology and Dharmasastras' have been #learly and #onvin#ingly answered by me in my introdu#tion to the Study of "strology in the 9ight of )odern S#ien#es. The $ntrodu#tion extends over @0 pages of #losely printed matter and $ must refer my readers to that for fuller details and information. :"$)$4$S=TR"S have not been translated into English by

anybody in $ndia' so far as my knowledge goes. 4either is it so very easy to translate sutras into proper English. The meaning of a small sutra' sometimes may be developed into stout printed volume- English language is in#apable of framing sutras and mu#h less for their being translated into #on#ise and short senten#es. $n its present form and #onstru#tion the English language is Buite unfit for framing sutras. These sutras are profound' s#holarly and uniBue in their #omposition and defy all #ompetition. They #omprehend a vast amount of knowledge. in the shortest forms possible and have been framed gra#iously by )aharishi :aimini' for the benefit of the world. %e openly says so. $n the end of these sutras the author remarks that all that he has written is Buite true' as these truths have been propounded by the still earlier )aharishis' &itamaha or Brahma' Vyasa' &arasara' Vasishta' arga' Bhrigu' Surya' 6handra' Brihaspathi' Sukra' )ari#hi' &alaha' &ulisa' )aya and other eminent s#ientists. The treatment of the different Bhavas' Rasis and &lanets will be found a little #onfusing in the beginning but with some patien#e' diligen#e and pra#ti#e the pe#uliarities of his system readily yield themselves to our #omprehension and enable us to read the full horos#opes in the

light in whi#h :aimini has explained them for our benefit. %e gives various 9agnas' %ora 9agna' hatika 9agna' =papada 9agna' Varnada 9agna and so forth. %is Dasas are mostly founded on Rasis and 4avamsas. The #al#ulations ba#kwards and forwards for odd and even signs trouble the reader to some extent. The extent of Dasas differs from the ordinary #on#eptions as explained by the general prin#iples of "strology. 6onstellations have not been given prominen#e. Brahma' Rudra and )aheswara Dasas are pe#uliar in these sutras. Ahile the language is gra#eful' the interpretations are taxing' diffi#ult and stiff. " vast amount of general knowledge is needed for the proper interpretations and #omprehension of these sutras. $t is asserted by some that :"$)$4$S=TR"S extend over 0 "dhyayas. $ have seen only four and have not #ome a#ross the rest. $ am on the look out for them and by #han#e $ may have the good*lu#k to dis#over them in some old pala#e or private libraries. G $ shall translate the other two "dhyayas > &rof. B. Suryanarain Rao tried his utmost to se#ure that other two #hapters but #ould not -su##eed. %owever $ have been able to se#ure the $$$ and $V "dhyayas

information from whi#h has been in#orporated in my book Studies in :aimini "strology "n English translation of the $$$ and $V "dhyayahas- been made by S. !. !ar. at an early date. The two "dhyayas' $ have now translated' are #omplete in themselves and will be found to be of the highest value to the students in astrology. The masterly way in whi#h the )aharishi has explained the "strologi#al prin#iples' will surely make the students masters in this line. The sutras' being short and sweet' #an easily be #ommitted to memory and this is the greatest advantage Sanskrit sutras possess over other languages in the world. $ have Buoted the original sutras in the transliteration system so that those who know Sanskrit may easily follow the sutras and my translation and 47TES' and #orre#t any mistakes' whi#h may have #rept into my translations either through ignoran#e or oversight. $ have given the original Sanskrit words and have explained them in easy English as $ have understood them. Sanskrit alone #ommands sutras. Ae have Brahmasutras or =ttara )imamsa by Vyasa' :aimini Sutras 7r &oorva )imamsa' rihyasutras' Vyakaranasutras' and other sutras on various subEe#ts by )aharishis. Su#h wonderful display of sutras is Buite pe#uliar to Sanskrit and $ have not heard of the

existen#e of su#h a system of sutras in any other language in the world. Those who are better s#holars than myself in "strology' "stronomy' Sanskrit and English may.point out my ina##ura#ies' #orre#t them' for the benefit of the world and thus earn not only my gratitude but also of the #ultured humanity in general. Sin#e this translation is the first of its kind in the field on :aiminisutras' $ re#ommend this work to all lovers in "strology. Those who do not believe in "strology' will do well to read the translation and apply the prin#iples to their own horos#opes and see how beautifully the results agree with the positions of planets. Duty to s#ien#e and literature reBuires every sensible man' who has the good of humanity at heart' not to negle#t any bran#h of knowledge' without fair and reasonable trials. Ae have no reason to reEe#t any s#ien#e' without proper study and #areful appli#ation. There are some persons who say Hl don>t believe in this or that s#ien#eH. Refle#tion shows they are unwise and entirely wrong. $n the first pla#e they do not represent the sum total of all knowledge in the world. The importan#e atta#hed to their Ego' by themselves' is unEustifiable and untenable. $ #hallenge' if there is any man in this world who knows all bran#hes of knowledge or even the " B 6 of them.

Some s#ientists are more narrow*minded and bigoted than the de#lared bigots of religion or so#ial #ustoms. Ahen the best and the most intelle#tual )aharishis of $ndia have not only believed in "strology' but' have also written four hundred thousand stanDas on "strology' will it be unreasonable to ask the readers to study the s#ien#e' put it into pra#ti#e and then say' what they think about it. To the s#epti#s' only one word of advi#e by me. 9earn the elementary prin#iples' take your horos#opes and of those who are dear and near to you. Read them in the light of these sutras and then say honestly what you think of this s#ien#e. " handful of experien#e is worth ten #artloads of theories. $f $ am wrong #orre#t me in the light of experien#e. $f you are wrong #orre#t yourself like a noble soul. 6an $ be fairer than this in my advi#e F B.

&RE9$)$4"R8 7BSERV"T$74S The name of )aharishi :aimini is held in high esteem and reveren#e among the Sanskrit writers of eminen#e and probably he is held only next to )aharishi Vedavyasa. :aimini is the dis#iple of Vyasa' and besides being a writer of various treatises and the Epi#

:aimini Bharata' he is the famous author of &oorva )imamsa Sastra' and these able aphorisms in "strology #alled after his name as the :"$)$4$S=TR"S. The )aharishis' so far as their intelle#tual development was' #on#erned' stood altogether on a uniBue pedestal unapproa#hed by any other authors in the world. They expanded their intelle#ts not by ordinary study' patient labour and devotion but by the mysti# pro#esses of 8oga. Thus expanding their mental vision by a pe#uliar pro#ess still unknown to the greatest s#holars of the present day' they were able to grasp the #auses and effe#ts of the #elestial and terrestrial phenomena with the greatest ease and on. a s#ale of understanding and #omprehension of fa#ts at whi#h the present generations stand surprised and wonderstru#k. Take )aharishi Vedavyasa the great grandson of Vasishta' the grandson of Sakti' the son of &arasara and the father of )aharishi Shuka who is held in the highest esteem by the great Rishis themselves for this piety' Brahmagnana' and unalloyed purity of life. Vyasa has written .0 &uranas in#luding the )ahabharata' en#losing the immortal Bhagavadgita' great Siddhanta after his name on "stronomy' several works on "strology and the most profound Brahmasutras' #alled =ttara* )imamsa. This #olossal #olle#tion of literature relating to all

bran#hes of human knowledge stands as a monument to the grandeur of his glorious intelle#t and it will be a real surprise to the #ultured publi#' if any other name in the world #ould be '#ompared to this intelle#tual giant. $n addition to all these works' he was able to systematise and put in proper order the ?our Vedas and thus earn the most envious title of Vedavyasa or one who put the Vedas in their present form and seBuen#e. :aimini was a worthy dis#iple of Vedavyasa and has beBueathed to humanity' many valuable works among whi#h stand foremost :aimini Bharata' &oorva*)imamsa and the :aiminisutras on "strology. $n the various bran#hes of the Sanskrit S#ien#es the sutras are a wonder of Sanskrit literature. Ae do not know if there is any other language in this world whi#h has anything like the sutras. " sutra may thus be defined as the shortest in form with the largest meaning possible. :"$)$4$S=TR"S ere said t, have been #omposed in eight #hapters. Though brief' they #ontain a large Buantity of meaning. )any te#hni#alities are used throughout these sutras and $ will try to explain them as best as $ #ould. $n translations from a ri#h and #omprehensive language to a poor and ill*eBuipped tongue' it is extremely diffi#ult to bring out the for#e' the dignity' the

sweetness' the maEesty and the flow of the original language. The translators' however learned they may be and however brilliant their intelligen#e may be' have to remember the great gulf whi#h separates their intelligen#e with that of the great )aharishi who is their original author. "t best the translator #an only explain and illustrate what he understands and #on#eives to be the meaning of the original author. $t may be the #orre#t interpretation of the author or what may have been understood to be the meaning by the translator. $n the #ase of the works of the )aharishis' $ may not be very wrong if $ say that none of the #ommentators or the translators #ould ever hope to #ome up to their standard. %owever' a man #an do at best what he honestly knows to be the meaningC and $ #an assure my readers that in the translation of these diffi#ult sutras $ have taken the greatest #are to bring out the #orre#t meaning of the )aharishi in his inimitable work the :"$)$4$S=TR"S. Everyone #annot #ompose a sutra. " sutra' to be a sound one. must have #ertain #hara#teristi# features and unless these #onditions are satisfied they #annot pass muster under the heading of a sutra. $n English' so far as my humble knowledge and pra#ti#al experien#e go' it looks impossible to frame a sutra as the Sanskrit

authors have #omposed and #on#eived it. The defe#ts of languages #annot be set right by ordinary men' and it is hopeless to make su#h attempts. :aimini' through his great sympathy and love for the people' framed these sutras and they have to be interpreted on #ertain prin#iples whi#h the Sanskrit writers have laid down for our guidan#e and edu#ation. The brevity of a sutra is its distinguishing feature' and it #an easily be #ommitted to memory even by the ordinary students. Somehow or other' Sanskrit language seems to have a #lose affinity to strengthen and improve memory. %ave we ever seen an advo#ate or a Eudge who is able to repeat a few se#tions of any legal book F $s there any English knowing person who #an repeat a play of Shakespeare or a few pages of any di#tionaryF $n Sanskrit' Dasopanishads are easily #ommitted to memory. There are Dwivedis and Thrivedis who easily #ommit to memory one' two and three Vedas and repeat them with an ease whi#h surprises the listeners. There are many who have #ommitted to memory the Sanskrit lexi#on H"maraH and Buote its stanDas offhand with the greatest ease. Bhagavata' Bharata' Ramayana and other extensive works are easily #ommitted to memory. !avyas and 4atakas. Epi#s and Dramas form no ex#eption. "strologi#al

literature' whether it be astronomi#al #al#ulation or astrologi#al &halabhaga has been #ommitted to memory and $ #an repeat more than 5 or < thousand slokas' without any paper or pen#il. The dis#ussion of the learned Brahmin &andits is a sour#e of great delight to the audien#e. They bring neither books' nor notes' nor papers' nor any referen#es when they #ome for great assemblies where their knowledge in the several bran#hes of Sanskrit will be tested and where they re#eive due rewards. The greatest $ndian &andit has hardly anything whi#h deserves the name of a library' whereas the poorest eBuipped English reader keeps up a de#ent library. "re not then the heads of these &andits more valuable than the heads of the greatest English s#holars who have to refer to books for #onstant renewal of their memories F

J Though Suryanarain Rao has elu#idated the abbreviations used by :aimini to imply numerals $ propose to make some observations for the benefit of the reader The system of pneumoni#s employed here is #alled !atapayadi system. The #onsonants of the Sanskrit alphabet have keen used in the pla#e of the numbers .*/ and Dero to express number-. There are different variant- of this system but $ shall explain the most #ommonly a##epted method.  2n3 and  2n3 and the vowels denote Dero. J The letter- in su##ession beginning with !a 23' Ta 23' &a 2B3 and 8a 23 denote the digits C in a #onEoint #onsonant' e.g.' !ya 23 only the last one denotes a number "##ording to this system therefore the letters ka 23 ta 23 pa 6K3 8a 23 denotes .. kha 23 tta 2L3 pha 23 ra 23 H 5. /a 23 da 2s3 ba 23 la 23 H <. gha 23 dha 23 bha 23 va 23 H 1. nga 23 na 23 ma 23' ssa 23 H (. #ha 2s3 tha 2K3 sha 23 .' +. #hha 23 thha 23 sa 23 H @. a 23 da 23 ha 23 H 0. Eha 23 dha 23 H /. " right to left arrangement $s employed in the

formation of #hronograms i.e.' the letter denoting units figure is first written' than follows the letter denoting the tens figure and so on' e.g.' ra me M 5 +* +5. :aimini divides the figure so obtained by .5 and takes the remainder as denoting a parti#ular sign of the Dodia# as re#koned from )esha. "ll figures in "stronomy' $ns#riptions and )athemati#s should be read in the reverse order or as the )ohammedans read from right to left. The explanations of the following sutras make these aphorisms easy to understand. . :aimini uses the word "rgala to mean a sort of obstru#tion or impediment for the free flow of planetary influen#es. " planet in a #ertain house from any desired Bhava or signifi#ation or planet' prevents or obstru#ts the progress of the influen#e and thereby diminishes its value and. usefulness. These five Sutras give explanations about these "rgala. influen#es and obstru#tions and they must be #arefully treasured up. There are two varieties of "rgala shubha or benefi#ial' and papa or malefi#. Dara #ontains two Sanskrit letters da and ra. Da a##ording > to Tavarga given above' represents the 0th letter in that group and hen#e stands for the figure 0. Ra represents the 5nd letter in the 8avarga'

and hen#e stands for the digit 5*thus we have by the word dara 05. Reading this by the above mathemati#al Sutra in the reverse order we get 50. There are .5 signs or Rasis and when 50 is divided by .5' we get 1 as the remainder. Therefore Dara means the fourth house' representing the "rgala from any desired signifi#an#e or planet. 4ow the pe#uliarity is this Dara in Sanskrit language means wife and in general astrology' when we say Dara or Darasthana' we signify the @th house from 9agna for a male horos#ope. But Dara in :aimini by the rules he has laid down means ?our and not Seven. Bhagya. By the letter interpretation pro#ess*Bha is the fourth in the &avarga and stands therefore for 1' ya in Sanskrit is #omposed of a' and 8a the letter underneath the former a' and in all #ompound or #onEoined letters the lower letter has to be taken into a##ount and not the upper. Thus we have here 8a' and it is the first letter in 8avarga and stands for .. Ae have therefore 1.. Reading in the reverse order we get .1 and this divided by .5 will give us a remainder of 5. Bhagya*5. Therefore the 5nd house or planet from any given Bhava also be#omes an "rgala planet or obstru#tion. Sula is #omposed of Ssa and 9a. $n the Vavarga' Ssa stands as the fifth letter and represents (. 9a represents the <rd letter in 8avarga

and therefore stands for <. Ae thus get the figure (<. But reading in the reverse order we have <(' Divided by .5 we get a remainder of .. and therefore Sula stands for ... Those planets whi#h are in 1' 5 and .. from any planet or Bhava in Buestion or under #onsideration' be#ome #lassified as "rgala and obstru#t their influen#es. $n Sutra + if many evil planets' more than two as the plural is used' are found in !ama or <rd house' they also then be#ome "rgala. !a stands as in !avarga and )a stands as ( in the &avarga. Therefore we have .(. Reading in the reverse order we get (.. Divide this by .5 and we have the remainder <. Therefore !ama stands for the <rd house. !ama in Sanskrit means 6upid' passions' wife and desires. $n the general astrologi#al literature' !ama means the @th house representing husband or wife as the horos#ope may belong to a female or a male human being. But by the interpretation by letters as dire#ted by the author' it means the third. "s it is stated here the planets be#ome "rgala in the <rd only when there are more than 5 evil planets in the <rd from the Buestioning planets or Bhava. But suppose there is only one evil planet in the <rd house' then by impli#ation it does not be#ome "rgala for the planet or Bhava. $n Sutra @' Ripha means .,' Ra in 8avarga

stands for 5 as it is the se#ond letter from 8a and &ha is the se#ond letter .in the &avarga and therefore represents 5' putting together we get 55. Divide this by .5 we have a balan#e of .,. 4ee#ha stands for .5. 4a represents 7 in the Tavarga as it stands as the .,th from Ta and therefore represents #ipher. Ae have only / "nkas or digits and the .,th shows a Dero. 6ha stands as the +th letter from Tavarga and represents +' putting together we have ,+. Reading in the reverse order we have +,. Divided by .5 there will be no balan#e' but the author asks the readers to take always the last balan#e and when +, is divided by .5 it goes four times 2103 and the last balan#e is .5. Therefore 4ee#ha stands for .5. !ama' we have already seen' means <. Those planets whi#h are in .,' .5 and < form an obstru#tion to the "rgala mentioned in Sutra (. %ere probably the meaning is that the "rgala influen#es' formed by planets mentioned in Sutra (' good or bad' are themselves modified or obstru#ted by the planetary positions mentioned in this Sutra. Those planets whi#h are in the (th and /th or Trikonas #ountera#t the influen#es of the "rgala planets as explained before. $t has been already stated that #ertain planets in #ertain house #ause "rgala or obstru#tion and those whi#h are in the (th and /th #ountera#t these

Sutra / is #lear and needs no further explanation. Aith referen#e to !etu the order must be reversed 2Sutra .,3. The /th from !etu be#omes "rgala and the (th from him be#omes &ratibandhaka or obstru#tion. The name of Rahu is not mentioned in the original' but some #ommentators are of opinion that the mention of !etu is enough to in#lude Rahu. Sutras are short and #ertainly reBuire #learer explanations. Those benefi#ial planets who are in Dara 1' Bhagya 5' and Shula .. from !etu do not form "rgala. The malefi#s in the <rd and 0th from !etu do not form &apargala or evil obstru#tion. "rgala seems to be a sort of for#e or energy' #aused by #ertain positions of the planets' and this energy may be benefi#ial or mali#ious. &ower may be good or bad as it is used. $n the #ase of Rahu and !etu the "rgala results must be #al#ulated in the reverse order. ?rom the .. th Sutra :aimini gives the rules whi#h will guide the student in determining the lordship of

the various relations and events' whi#h have to be taken into #onsideration' in the #areer of an individual. S=. ...*"tmadhikaha kaladibhirna bhogassaptanamashtamva. H 7f the seven planets from the Sun to Saturn' or the eight planets from the Sun to Rahu' whi#hever gets the highest number of degrees be#omes the "tmakaraka. 47TES The word "shtanamva is emphasised be#ause Rahu' instead of being mixed with other planets' seems to have been separated for a #ertain set purpose. The meaning be#omes evident when we refer to &arasara a##ording to whom also' Rahu fills up the gap*when two planets 2of the seven3 possess the same number of degrees. $f two or three planets obtain the same !aNas or degrees and minutes' they are all merged into one !araka or 9ordship over some event in the human life. The va#an#ies #aused by the merges of two or three planets into one have to be supplied by Rahu in the reverse of order. The other !araka will be supplied by the 4aisargika !arakas or permanent lords. This is a diffi#ult Sutra and reBuires some #lear explanations. Ahile all the planets have got movements from left to right or dire#t. Rahu and !etu move in the reverse order or from right to left. The first is

#alled the Savyam or &radakshinam 2dextral3 and the 7ther is #alled "pasavyam or "pradakshinam 2sinistral3. Rahu and !etu have no houses but' :aimini gives lordship of !umbha to Rahu and Vris#hika to !etu. They have been given lordships over some human events. $n any horos#ope' the first duty of an honest astrologer is to find out the exa#t positions of all the planets. This implies a good knowledge in "stronomy and astrologi#*mathemati#s. Then the degrees' minutes and se#onds of the positions of the planet are #al#ulated and pla#ed #orre#tly' then the student will be able to find out whi#h planet has got the highest number of !alas or degrees in a horos#ope. Ahoever has got the highest number of !alas' be#omes the "tmakaraka. These !arakatwas or 9ordships' therefore' #an be a#Buired a##ording to these Sutras by any planet. Ahereas in 4aisargika' !arakas or permanent lordships are fixed for ever. $n 4aisargika' the !arakas or 9ordships are thus detailed - $n Brihat :ataka' Ravi' 6handra' Sani and Sukra are given different !arakaships- Diva arkasukrow pitru. matru soungnitou. This means that persons born during the day have the Sun and Venus as lords of the father and mother respe#tively. Sanais#harendu nisi tadviparyayat. ?or persons born during the nights'

Sani be#omes )atrukaraka and $ndu or 6handra be#omes the lord of father. $ have simply drawn the attention of the readers to the various versions given by the different authors. %ere we may have &itrukaraka 2.3 Ravi in the 4aisargika >method>' 253 6handra as &itrukaraka for those who are born in the night and 2<3 any planet out of the nine who gets or #ontains the largest number of degrees in a horos#ope. Then the Buestion arises as to how a student has to be guided in determining the prosperity and adversity of a person>s father. Suppose in the :aimini system Sani be#omes &itrukaraka 6handra be#omes &itrukaraka by the dire#tion of Brihat :ataka and by the general or 4aisargike system' Ravi be#omes the &itrukaraka. These three planets' viD.' Ravi' 6handra and Sani are thoroughly different in #hara#teristi#s and these variations' expounded by the learned in "strology' instead of helping a student in the progress of the studies will #onfound him and laun#h him into greater doubts and #onfusion. Ahen different systems' apparently #ontradi#tory' are enun#iated by eminent )aharishis the wisest thing would be' in my humble opinion and experien#e' to take all of them into #areful #onsideration' add his own experien#e' Eudge all of them with a diligent eye and make a

harmonious whole so that all of them may prove su##essful and satisfa#tory. Take half a doDen medi#al experts in remote #orners of the world. They experiment and hit upon #ertain herbs or roots as effi#a#ious for #ertain diseases. Ea#h one su##eeds with a #ertain #lass' and thinks they may prove useful. $f all of them have su##eeded and the results of their experiments satisfa#tory' then a wise physi#ian #arefully 47TES the #hara#teristi#s of su#h of those drugs and roots and he may su##eed even better than any one of the original experimenters' by a Eudi#ious use of them suitable to times and #onditions of life. )aharishis' by their expanded vision' wat#hed and re#orded their experien#es from different mental visions' and gave prin#iples in. all su#h s#ien#es' whi#h' though #ontradi#tory on the surfa#e' will be found to be agreeable on a deeper analysis. Different systems have mentioned different periods for death and other important events of human life. Bhattotpala' the great #ommentator of Varahamihira>s worksC hits on a ni#e system of re#on#iliation and $ refer my readers for #learer explanations on my 47TES to Dasantardasa #hapter in Brihat :ataka. " man may live upto @, or 0, years and may have passed through various #riti#al #onditions. %e will be killed in

the period of the strongest death*infli#ting planet and have #riti#al dangers during other evil periods. Take the longevity Buestion. Ae have the =du Dasa or length of life measured by the planets a##ording to the #onstellations ruling at birth. Ae have se#ondly !ala#hakra Dasas and the longevity given by them. Third' we have the raha Datta &indayuryoga or the term of life given by the planets to the ?oetus at the time of #on#eption. ?ourth' we have the "msayurdaya re#ommended by Satya#harya and followed by Varahamihira. ?ifth' we have the longevity determined by the o#hara movements of the planets. Sixth' the longevity as determined by the kendra "yurdaya. Seventh' we have the Dasantardasa "yurdaya. Then' eighthly' we have the "shtakavarga Bindusodhana "yurdaya. These eight systems #ertainly give divergent views and different terms. $f so' what should the astrologi#al student do when all the eight systems give eight different periods. Bhattotpala' whom we have not seen a more learned #ommentator on astrologi#al works in re#ent times' re#on#iles these different systems in the following manner - say a person lives for (, years and gets various periods of longevity from < years to (, years. The suggestion of Bhattotpala stands to reason. Suppose the eight systems give the

following terms of life *<'.,'.(' 5,' 5@' <(' 1, and (, we are asked to pres#ribe the longest term obtained as the longevity' and the terms indi#ated by the other systems will be periods in the life of the person whi#h will be very #riti#al and during whi#h he. will suffer from severe diseases' dangers' or a##idents' but he will manage to get over them and live upto the longest term' viD.' +, years as shown by one of those systems. :aiminisutras offer the same explanations. $n the typi#al #ase Sani' 6handra and Ravi' representing father in the #ase of a single person' then the age and prosperity of the father will be determined by the most powerful among them. $t may also happen that by the three systems' Ravi may be#ome the lord of father. Then he will live longer and be more prosperous and happy. The merging of two or three planets into one karaka has to be fully explained. =nless $ give some illustration' the readers will not be able to follow these sutras. The sutra says that whi#hever planet gets the highest number of degrees' be#omes the "tmakaraka. Suppose in a horos#ope two planets get the same number of degrees C then both of them will be#ome "tmakaraka. Take Sani and 6handra in a horos#ope' and say they have got ea#h 5/ degrees and ten minutes.

"s per the above sutra' both of them be#ome merger into one' viD.' "tmakaraka. Ahen both of them be#ome representing one event' viD.' "tmakaraka' there will be a va#an#y for some other karakatwa say 6handra has merged into Sani and his pla#e' representing matrukaraka or some other karaka' falls va#ant. This' :aimini says' will be supplied by* Rahu. "s Rahu and !etu move in the reverse' they will be #onsidered as getting the highest number of degrees when they are at the beginning of a sign. $n the above illustration' suppose Sani has 5/o and .,> in "ries as also 6handra. Then they will naturally have travelled all over )esha and will be within fifty minutes from Vrishabha. Sani and other planets move from )esha to Vrishabha' )ithuna' !ataka' and so forth' whereas Rahu moves in the reverse order' viD.' from Vrishabha . to )esha and )esha to )eena. Rahu will have obtained 5/a and .,> when he is (,> from )eena' for Rahu gains ea#h degree as he enters )esha from Vrishabha and moves on to the .St degree of )esha before he enters into the next sign )eena. %ere as 6handra has merged into Sani' Rahu takes that karakatwa whi#h 6handra as a separate planet would have taken. Suppose Budha also gets the same degrees' and these three represent one karakatwa or signifi#ation. Suppose now

brothers have to be represented. Then :aimini says take the 4isarga !araka' !uEa' and give him the #ontrol over brothers. et#.' attributed to !uEa in the general literature in "strology. S=. .5.**Saeeshtay bandhamokshayoh.

But when he is in 4ee#ha Rasi or with evil #onEun#tions and aspe#ts he will be imprisoned' will suffer from #hains and other tortures' and will not have )oksha.

The number of years of the Rasi Dasa is determined by the number of Rasis whi#h its lord has travelled from it at birth. Take a horos#ope and follow the reasoning. Ae want to find out the Dasa period of years given by )esha. $ts lord is !uEa. %e is found in the @th house from )esha. Therefore )esha Dasa extends for @ years. Ae want the Dasa period given by Dhanus. $ts lord is uru and he is in the <rd house from Dhanus' and therefore the length of Dasa of Dhanus will be < years. This point is now #lear. $n :aiminisutras the lords of the houses are those whi#h are re#ognised by the astrologi#al works in general and $ presume the possession of this elementary knowledge in my readers.

$f the lord of the Rasi is of life. $f he is in the $f he is in the se#ond two years.

The word prayena signifies a great deal. $f the lord of the Rasi is in exaltation he will add one more year to the number he gives by his position. Take Vris#hika and !uEa in )akara. %ere he is in the <rd house from Vris#hika and therefore gives < years. But as he is in exaltation one more year is to be added and thus the Rasi gives four years. But if he is in debilitation he takes away one year. Thus if we take )esha and find !uEa in !ataka' then he will have to give four years as !ataka is the fourth from )esha but his debilitation has taken away one year and instead of four years he gives only three years. There are two signs a##ording to :aimini whi#h have two lords instead of one granted by the rules of general astrology. Vris#hika has two lords' viD.' !uEa and !etu and !umbha has Sani and Rahu. $n this #ase if the two lords are in the sign' then the Rasi gives .5 years of Dasa. $f one of them* is not there' then the presen#e of the other gives no years. Ahen both of them are not in the Rasi' then find out the Dasa years by the stronger of the two planets.

Suppose of these two' one is in his own house' and the other in a different house' then #ount up and take the planet in his own house in preferen#e to the other who is in a different house. Take !umbha. $t has two lords Rahu and Sani. Sani is in )akara and Rahu is in )esha. %ere we have to prefer Sani to Rahu as he is in his own house and therefore the longevity or Dasa given by !umbha will be .5 years as )akara is the .5th from !umbha. $f out of the two lords' in other houses one is with another planet or planets' and the se#ond is not with a planet then take the planet who is in #onEun#tion with another planet. Suppose both of them are with other planets' Then take the lord who is in #onEun#tion with a larger number of planets. Suppose both of them are with the same number of planets. Then find out the strength of the Rasi and whi#hever is more powerful' take the planet in it. %ere $ shall explain Ahat is meant by the strength of the Rasi. The fixed signs are stronger than movable signs. The double bodied signs are stronger than the fixed ones. $f even here the strength of the two lords is the same' then take that lord who gives the larger number of years. $n this way we have to find out who is the more powerful of the

two lords and as#ribe the Rasi Dasa a##ordingly. $f one of them is in exaltation' he should be preferred. $n this way find out the #auses of strength to the planet and then pres#ribe the Rasi Dasa years to it.

The following is the full exposition for all these. Readers are advised to have a large fund of patien#e and devote some time to master these details. $n all the following sutras of :aimini' Varnas or !atapayadi letters are used to indi#ate Bhavas and Rasis.

This will #ertainly be not intelligible' unless a few

examples are given here to illustrate the prin#iples involved. Varieties of 9agnas will be explained here. Bhava 9agna*used in :aimini*means the ordinary 9agna as is mentioned in the ordinary books on "strology. The sign that rises at birth on any parti#ular day. 6handra 9agna*or the :anma Rasi' is that sign in whi#h 6handra is situated at the. time of birth. This is determined by #onstellation ruling on that day. &ada 9agna*means that sign in number again from the position of the lord of 9agna whi#h he o##upies from 9agna. %ora 9agna*Take the time of birth from the sunrise and fix it in ghatis. Then divide this number by 5.( whi#h is #alled a %ora and the number thus obtained represents the %ora 9agna. Take an example. " man was born on the <rd of the solar month !umbha at .1.( ghatis after sunrise. 4ow .1.( ghatis divided by 5.( will give us ( and 5 ghatis as a remainder. Therefore the %ora 9agna falls in the +th from !umbha* !anya. Take a person born on the 5nd of the solar month. Vris#hika at about 5/ ghatis after sunrise. Dividing this by 5.( ghatis we get .. and a remainder ..( ghatis. That is the %ora 9agna will be the .5th from the sign o##upied by the Sun' viD.' Vris#hika or it falls in Thula the

.5th from it. $f suppose the man is born on that day at 10 ghatis after the sunrise then divide this by 5.( ghatis. Ae get ./ and a remainder of ( ghati. Therefore the %ora 9agna falls in the 5,th. "s there are only .5 signs' dedu#t this figure from 5, and we get 0. Therefore the e 0th from Vris#hika will be the %ora 9agna and it falls in )ithuna. %ere also the order already named for odd and even signs should be observed. hatika 9agna*?rom the sunrise to the time of birth find out how many ghatikas have passed and find out the Rasi whi#h falls at the time and this will be easy to understand. Say a man is born at 5( ghatis after sunrise on the 5nd of Vrishabha )asa. Then take 5( ghatis and #ount from VrishabhaC whenever' the figure of ghatis is more than .5 dedu#t or divide the number of ghatis and find out the remainder. 5( divided by .5 will give us a balan#e of . after going twi#e. Thus in this #ase the ghatika 9agna falls in one and therefore in Vrishabha itself. Varnada 9agna*Ae have already explained this and we will give #learer explanations later on. "s :aimini insists on Savya* right and "psasavya * left for odd and even signs our readers must understand this point #learly and keep before their vision in all #ountings for the various 9agnas.
