3-6. SHORT-LIFE COMBINATIONS (upto sloka 23) :
Should tho Moon be in the 6th,-8th, or the l2th from the
ascendantand be in aspectto a malefic, the child will die soon.
If in the ptocess there be g benefic'saspect,it may live upto 8.
If a beneflcis retrograde in the 6th, 8th or the l2th being in
aspect to a malefic, death will occur within a month of birth.
This is true only when the ascendantis unoccupiedby a benefic.
Should the 5th bc occupiedby Saturn,Mars and tbe Sunjointly,
(early) death of mother and brother will come to pass. Mars
placed in the ascendantor in the 8th and be conjunct Saturn or
Sun or be in aspectto a malefic,being bereft of benefic aspect
will prove a sourceof (immediate)death.
Notes : Here a pertinent query may emergeas to why the
sagementionscombinationsfor preMture death while longevity
cannot be decidedly declared upto the 24thyear ofage as per
his own statement. These yogas will guide us to dctect thc
immediatedefectsfor longevity and resort to remedial measureg
like firc sacrifice,prayers,donations, medicineetc. and save thc
from Akala Mrity.u or prematuredeatb,vide ch. 5 of Horasarr.
The Moon in an evil houseat'birth and in aspect to a
malefic will cause.early death. Even a benqfic'saspect on the
Moon, in the said Yoga, will causethe end at the age of E,
suggeststhe sage. If she is increasing,this neednot be feared.

of one born in Scorpio will follow. In this casethereis no
needofany rethinking'
Notes : The area of the horoscope from the 4th cusp to
the l0th cusp via the 7th houseis known as occidcntal(or
western)half while the rest half is oricntal (or eastern)half.
Chapter 9 | 1,3
One born in Scorpio ascendant with malefics in the
oriental half and bhenficsin the occidentalhalf will face imme-
diate death. This yoga is catled as Vajra Mushti yoga by
Yavanacharyas,as quoted by Kalyana Varma' The Moon
should be in the Qccidentalhalf if she is a beqrfic or be in thc
.oriental half if she is a malefic. If Mercury remainsunafricted,
by a malefic, this yoga will not come to pass.

sth8.
Notes : The prosperity or wellbcing of a housc is assurod
undcr the following conditions :
(a) Thc housc that containsa benefic.
O) The housethat is aspectedby a bdnefic.
(c) The housewhoselord is in Yuvavastha or in Kunrara-
vastha.Thesetwo Avasthasareomong tha 5 Avasthas,viz. Baala,
Kumafa, YUtbna, Vriddha and Mrita by being in 6. portione

Nert we zue told of thc conditions under which a house
suffer8annihihtions which are :
(a) The bhava unaspectedby its lord does
not fourish.
Each bhavacannot be under theaepect ofitsrord.

does not irean thar the bhava sufttrs annihilation. It rnay
bc

relation is ihere for a bhava,its lord's aspecton it is an
aotidote.
(b) The lord of a bhavajoining a.maleficis a disadvantage
for the bhava. If the saidmalefic is a frierdly planet to the bhava
tord or if they joii in favourablehouses,then the evil ie minimi-'
zed. Evgn if it is an exalted malefic, tben also good effcctsmay
be cxpected.
(c) The .lord of a house in conjunction with the lord of
6th/8th/ I 2th cennot be ."productiveof good. If he himself is en
evil lord, then some relief can be expected.This is mainly from
ayo& point and not in all resPects.
(d) If a planet is defeated in planetary war, its bhava's
potenceis void.
Normally, we are taught that when two planeteare on the
samedegreethcre occursa war and the one with lcsseglongitudc
is declaredwinner. The r into war.
In this connection, pleaserefer to ch.79 (Vol. II.of our
presentwork).
'
The late C. G. Rajan has a detailedand elaborate account
of planetary war. According to him if two planetshave identical
longitudes to the minute of arc there is a planetarywar, (This
doesnot involve luminaries).He addsthat they shouldbe on the
same latitude, i. e. both northern or both southern. The one
with higher latitude is declared winner. He givesan example
involving Saturn and Mars as under, for 0347 hrs on l5th
Dcccmbcr1925:
Longitude Latitude
Mars 209' 24' 0N2l
Saturn 209'24' 2 N25
He decleres'Saturn as the winner as he has advanced
latitude.
We need not rush to the conclusion that Mr. Rajan's vers:
io_nis contrary to Parasara's.We should appreciatethe pains
taken by Mr. Rajan in throwing more light on the subjeci. He
givesmorc advanccdand sound argumentswhich are not being
reproducedhcrc.for the sakeofachicving brcvity.
 126 Brihat Parasara Hoi.s Sastra
For practical purposes,we are well guided by the claborat-
ion of Mr. Rajan.
(e) The housewhoselord is in Vriddhavastha(i.e. of an
agn0ceq 3gg) F*om_esineffective from the view point of good
results"FpEnfiiIEEIitftFT8'-240 of an odd sign or betiveen

(f) If a planet is in Mgi!rygllA(in extremis) its bhava

1A. TO BE NURTURED By 3 MOTHERS ; If the Sun
and the Moon join in one and the samebhava(house)and fall
in one Navamsa,the native will be nurturedby 3 differentmot-
hersfor the fiirst 3 months from its birth arrdwill later on be
brought up by its father and brother.
Notes : In my opinion, the Vargothamapositionof the
luminariesin conjunctionseemsto be excepted. They shouldbe
in the samequarter of a constellationand will naturally be in
one Navamsa. This combination obviously implies loss of
motherwithin the first threemonths.

Notes : Venus or M in the 2nd will be favourablc

fact in the next sloka' It doesnot meanthat Jupiter, otherwise

the lord of the 2nd is in an evil housewhile the ilth iord is also
so placed and the 2nd is occupiedby a malefic. Therewiil be
penury right from birth and the nativewiil haveto beg evenfor

or be with malefics.
Notes : The lords of itre 2na and llth carrbe jointly
in
the 6th18th/t2rhor individua[ydisposedin any two of
the said
three houses.Simultaneouslythe ind house needsa malefic

make the native extremely poor. Even foo'd is denied

also similarlyplaced. The conjunction of the 2nd lord
with a
Yogakarka,ahhough a malefic, wiil not bc adverse
in the
matter of finacb. On the-contrary it will prove very auspicious.
For example,Mercury, the 2nd lord, ioining Saturn

the lords of the 2nd and llth be relegatedto the 6th/Sthltath
(jointly or separately)while Mars is in the llth and Rahu isin

10. FAME ETC, : If the 2nd lord is in own sign or is
exaltedthe nativewill look after his people,will help othersand
will becomefamous.
Notes : Our text requiresthe 2nd lord to be in exaltation
or in own sign so that the nativewill look after his people& C.
It has been practically seen that the 2nd lord's dignity is
essentialfor one to be helpful to others and be dutiful towards
his family members.Chaukhambaedition has almosta different
condition in this place : It statesthat the 2nd lord shouldbe in
deep exaltation or in own sign and be in aspectto Jupiter. The
net resultgiven therein is "fame and liked bypall". The condi-
tion of 'deep' exaltation seemsto me to be somewhatin excess
of the requirementwhile a simple own sign positionis givenas
an alternative. As such,I feel mereexaltationof the 2nd lord is
cnoughfor obtainingthe saidresults.

ll. EFFORTLESS ACQUISITIOI{ : If the 2nd lord is
conjuncta beneficand be in a good division like Paravatamsa,
therewill be all kinds of wealthin his family effortlessly.
Notes : "Paravatamsa"denotes six good Vargasout of
Dasavargascheme(vide ch.6, supra)."Paravatamsadau"of the
text denotesParavataor suchother higher Vargas. To wit, the
2nd lord should be in Paravatamsa or in Devalokatnsa, Brahma-
lokamsa, Sakravahanamsa or Sridhamamsain the Dasavarga
scheine. The eorrespondingsuperior Amsaswhcm the entire
Shodasavargaschemeis usedshould be above Poornachandr-
amsa. In the Dasavargascheme,why the sage fixesthe mini-
mum Vargaas Paravathais obvious. This vargadenotes6 good
divisions in Dasavargascheme i.e. above 50f of good
divisions.
The 2nd lord beingendowedwith sucha Vargadignity and
conjunctanotherbeneficbrings in effortlesswcalthand wealth
of all kinds. It follows that the 2nd lord's disposition (or the
dispositionof Jupiter)will decidethe financialstatusof a native.

12. EYES .' If the 2nd lord is endowedwith strength,the
nativewill possessbeautifuleyes. Should the saidplanetbe in
the 6th,8th or l2th, therewill be diseaseor deformityof eyes.
Notes .' "Netresa" denotes the lord of the 2nd, i.e. signifi-
cator of eyes.This doesnot meanthat the l2th lord hasnothittg
to do with eyes. Preciscly,2nd lord and l2th lord respectively
lord over right eyeand left eyerespectively. This is from the
health point of view of eye. However,when the beautyof the
oyesis to be known, it is from the 2nd houseonly. Jupiter
well placed ih the 2nd, or the 2nd lord in exaltation,or
with a beneficwill give one beautifuleyes. While Venus in the
2nd or Full Moon in the 2nd will not depriveone of beautiful
eyes,defectsbf sight at an early stagewill result from the said
position. Mercury in the 2nd will havea say on the speech
ratherthan on the sight. HenceJupter's positionin the 2nd is
a safe bet for strong sight and beautyof the eyes,if the planet
is not with evils of fall and the like.

matter of windy diseases.Gastric troubles, rheumatism and
the like are classifiedunderwindy disorders. If the 2nd house

the 3rd housebe conjunct or aspectedby a benefic, the native
will be endowedwith.co-bornand be courageous.
Notes : 'Bhratru' in Sanskrit simply means a brother.
Proper adjectiveis to be added, riiz. Jyeshto for elder and
Kanishta for younger, to the word Bhratru. The 3rd house
spccificallydealswith the after-bornwhile the I I th housedeals
with preborn. This can be seep from sloka 32, Ch. 32 infra.
In the said chapter the sage instructsus to considerMars for
the 3rd bhavaand Jupiter for I lth bhava,
Youngersisteris denotedby the 3rd houseand Mars wbile
eldersisterby the llth houseand Jupiter.

2. If the 3rd lord along with Mars aspectsthe 3rd house
the nativewill enjoy good resultsdue to the 3rd house.Alterna-
tively thesetwo planetsmay be in the 3rd itself.
Notes : Mars alonein the 3rd, exceptin Capricorn or in
Scorpio or in Arics, is not conductiveto brothers. The form of
our slokais differentin that the 3rd housebe jointly aspected
or
occupiedby Mars and the 3rd lord for the prosperityof coborn.

said 2 planetsare togctherwith a maleficor in a signownedby
a malcfic.
Notes: "The coborn will not live long" is the hint givenby
the phrase"Sadyonihantarau". Mars and the 3rd lord joining
in a malefic's sign or joining a malefic is said to be adversefor
the longevityof coborn. Similarly Jupiter and the I lth lord in
sucha stateis adversefor elderbrothersand elder sisters;Vcnus
and the 7th lord so placed for the spouse,Jupiterand the 5th
lord so placedfor progeny; Sun and the 9th lord so placedfor
father, the Moon and the 4th lord so placedfor mother,and so
on and so forth. So to sry the significatorand the lord of the
concernedhousetogetherin a malefic's sign or with a malefic
(or in an evil house)will bring harm to the said relative.

4-4t. FEMALE AND MALE COBORN .' If the 3rd lord
is a female planet or if the 3rd house be occupied by female
planets, one will havesisters born after him. Similarly male
planetsand male signsdenoteyou.ngerbrothers.Shouldit be of
mixed nature, coborn of both sexes will be obtained. These
effectsbe declaredafter assessingthe strength and weaknessof
the concerned.
 Chapter 14 t39
Notes : Saturnand Mercuryare termedas neutralplanets.
Rahu and Ketu are shadowyones. In the matter of deciding
the sexofcoborn or progeny, Saturnand Rahu be treated as
maleswhile Mercury and Ketu are females.
(Trailokyapraknsikavide sloka l2 treatsKetu as a female
and Rahuas aeunuch. Daivagnabharana vide ch, I, s. 14-15
considersthe reverseof this at one place and imediately quotes
a differentsihool of thought. thus : Rahu is a malepi"nrt uod
Ketu a eunuch.)
All odd signsare malesigns and all evensignsare female
signs.Male signsexclusivelyoccupiedby male planetswill cause
birth of brothers. Converseis the casewith femalesignsoccu-
pied by female planets. This should be known from the 3;d
house being male or female sign & C. If the 3rd houseis
occupiedby a male planetas well as a female planet,there will
be brothers and sisters as well. The contributionwill come to
passif the contributor is strong.For example,Jupiterin the 3rd
in a male sign if strongwill causethe birth of a brother. If he is
weak,acquisitionof brother through Jupitrr will not be fruitful.
Then one hasto look upto alternativesourceswhetherthe native
will havea brother or not.

5-6. Should the 3rd lord and Mars be togetherin the gth,
destruction of coborn will result. Happinessin this respect
will come to pass if Mars or the 3rd lord is in an angleor in a
trine or in exaltation/friendlydivisions.
Notes : The suggestionsgiven in the notes for sloka 3
about spouse,elder brother, mother etc. may be suitably
extendedin this respectwith the help of the presentverse. For
example, if Venus and 7th lord are together in the gth, the
native'smarriedlife will be short (and in bad taste.)
Similarly, their conjunction in an angle or in a trine will
confer longlastingbeneficeffects.
Further hint that can be taken from the versein question
is : If a significator and houselord join togetherin a sign which
is identical with debilitation/inimical sign for one of them" the
t40 Brihat Parasarafiora Sastrd
significanceof the planet is lost. If they join in a signwhich is
exaltation/friendlysign for one of tbem,then the significance of
the planetgainsprosperity.

7-ll. NUMBER OF BROTIIERS AND SISIfRS ; If
Mercuryis in thc 3rd whilethc 3rd lord and Moon are together
as thc indicttor (Mars) joins Saturn, the cffects are : there
occurredthe birth of an elder sisterand therewill be youngcr
brothers.Further the third brother will die' ShouldMars and
Rahu be conjunctwhile the 3rd lord is in his signof debilitation'
there will be lossof youngcr brothers/sisters while 3 elder
brothers/sisters wereattaincdby the native. Jf the 3rd lord is in
an anglewhile the significatoris exaltedin a trine and be in the
companyof Jupiter, l2 will be the numberof total coborn. Out
of these2 eldersand the 3rd, 7th, 9th and l2th of younger
coborn will be shortlived while six of the said twelvewill be
longlived.
Notes : The word 'Karaka' or significatorin sloka 7 etc.
shouldbe wiselynoted as Mars only and not as Jupiter,which
is borneby sloka I l.
In the contextof indication of one'o having 12 coborn,
this may be taken in the presentage to be a numberof coborn,
if not literally 12. Mars exalted and being in the companyof
Jupiter is denoted which means Jupiterwill be in fall. Someof
the coborn will die obviously becauseof Jupiter's debilitatioa
taking awaysomepotenceof exaltedMars.

14. ADVERSE PLANEZ,S: The Sun in the 3rd will
destroythc prehorn. The afterborn will be destroyedif Saturn
is found in rhe 3rd. In the same situationMars will destroy
both the prebornand later born.
Notes : Sage Bhrigu also opines that the Sun in the 3rd
house will not allow the native to retain his elder brothers.
This position will affect one'srelationship with brothers and
sisters. Regarding Mars in the 3rd, Garga Maharshi states
that the nativewill obtain two brothersand two sistersall the 4
of whom will pass away early. The placementof Mars in the
3rd hasalsoadversesay on the native's character. For further
details,seemy detailed notesin the chapter.,Effectsof planets

10-14.CONVEYANCES.' If the ascendantlord is a bene-
fic while the 4th lord is in fall or in the llth and the significator
(Venus)is in the l2th, thenative will obtain conveyances in his
l2th year. Shouldthe Sunbe in the 4th house,asthe 4th lord
is exaltedand be with Venus,onewill acquireconveyanees in his
32nd year. It will be in the 42nd yearthat one will be endowed
with conveyances if the 4th lord joins the l0th lord in bis (4th
Iord's) exaltation Navamsa. Anexchange between the llth
and the 4th lords will conferconveyances in the l2th year. A
beneficrelatedto the 4th house(andto its lord) will bring with
him auspiciouseffectswhile a maleficwill produceonly malefic
effects(in respectof conveyances).
Notes : It is not known why the 4th lord shouldbe in fall
for early obtainment of conveyances.This conditionseemsto
be the resultof defectivetext as the next line addsthat the 4th
lord may be in the llth. To me it occursthat the correct ver-
sion shouldreadas : If the ascendant lord is a beneficwhile the
llth is tenantedby Venus and the 4th lord, early obtainmentof
conveyance (around the l2th year)will come to pass. Another
rule given by the sage to get similar effectis an exchange
betweenthe lord of 4th and l lth.
Shoulda beneficbe in the 4th, aspectthe 4th, or is con-
junci with or aspectthc lord of the 4th houie, then the native
will be happywith conveyanccs and be free liom accidentsand
dangers. A malefic replacingthe saidbenefic will causelosses
concerningvehiclesand reduceone to severeaccidents.

1-3. O Brahmin, now I tell you the effectsrelatedto the
5th house.If the lords of the ascendantand the 5th are in their
own signsor in an angleor in a trine, one will enjoythorough
happinessthrough his children. Should the 5th lord be in the
6th, Sttt or l2th, there will be no offspring, Shouldthe lord of
tbe 5th be combustor be with'malefics and be weak, there will
be no children; evenif per chance issuesare obtainedthey will
only quit the world soon.
. Notes : "Suta" in Sanskritusedin compoundword or ag
an adjectivedoesnot excludea femaleissuefor it means"bego'
tten". Thereare howeverspecificoccasionswherethe expression
"son" is exclusivelydenoted by this tgrm. A logical approach
accordingto circumstances is neededin interpretingsuchexpress-
tons.
The conjunctionof the 5th lord with thc ascendant lord in
a good house will ensureearly obtainment of children apart
from happinessthrough them. If they join in an evil house,
they will prove a defectin this respect.

Notes: "Mandi,' is the word usedin the text which means
Gulika. This identicarityhas beennarratedin aprevious chapter.
Chapter 16 t47

Aspectof Mandi is suggested by the sage. Though there is no

authentic information on aspect of Mandi (and other Upagra-
has),it may be said that it aspectsthc 7th house.
The rule as per the sloka applies to Aquarius, Taurus,
Virgo'andlibra. In the case of the latter two Lagnas, Saturn
though rules the 5th is hetpless obviously becauseof afriction
by Gulika. Otherwise Saturn related to the 5th houseas its

13. If the 5th lord is with the Moon or be in her decanate,
thc native will bcget daughters,so sayastrologers.
Notes : The 5th lord's joining rhe Moon will confer daugh-
ters (rather more daughters) than sons. The Moon is a planet
of multiplicity and hencethere will be a number of daughters.
An alternative suggestedby the sageis that the 5th lord
chould be in a decanateowned by the Moon. The Morn's decan-
ates are : the first tcn degreesof C-ancer,the secondten degrees
ofPiscesand the third ten degreesof Scorpio. If the 5th lord

Then thc nativc will obtain daughters.

son is denoted if therebe a maleficin the 5th from the ascen-
dant while Jupiter is in the sth from Saturnot viceversa, If
the 5th househasa malefic in it or if Saturnis in the 5th from
Jupiter, the native will begetoffspring only throughhis 2nd or
3rd wife. Shouldthe 5th beoccupiedby a maleficwhile Jupiter
has Saturn in the 5th as the ascendant lord is in the 2nd, and
the 5th lord is with Mars, one will live long but losehis children
one after the other as they are born.

2. ULCERSIBRUISES.' Should the 6rh lord be in the
6th itself or in the ascendant/8th,there will be ulcersor bruises
on the body. The sigo becomingthe 6th housewill lead to the

. 3-5. RELATII/ES AFFECTED .. The Karaka of a rclative
or the lord of such a house joining the 6th lord or being in the
6th/8th house indicates ulcers/bruisesto such a rclative tike
father. The Sun with such lordship and in such a housc
dcnotes such affectation of head,the Moon face,Mars neck,
Mercury navel, Jupiter nose, Venus eyes, Saturn. feet and the
aodesabdomen.
Notes : In these three slokas, we are instructedto know
of the possibleaffiictionsto the natlve'srelativesand to the native
bimself - both from the horoscopeof the native.
Chapter 17 153

Firstly a certain significator or a certain bhavalord should

join the 6th lord or be in the 6th/8th house so that the relative
signifiedby the said Karaka incurs ulcers, bruises etc. For
erample,in a SagittariusLagnahoroscope,the 6th lord is Venus.
The 6th is Taurus and the 8th is Cancer. Suppose the 4th lord
Jupiter or the Matrukaraka Moon (signifying mother) joins
Venus or is in Taurus. (Cancer though the 8th house, the
Moon thereinshould not be deemedharmful in this regard and
Jupiterin Cancerwill not alsoaffict the motheras he is exalted
thereand protLctsthe 4th by aspect.) As a result, the mother
will incur ulcer, bruisesetc.
The relatives signifiedby planetsand Bhavasare denoted
in ch, 32, infra.
The second clue is to know the possibleaffiiction,to the
native,of a particularareain the body. If the Sun is the lord of'
the 6th houseor is with the 6th lord or is in the 6th/8th,the
native will be apt to incur affiiction of head, dnd so on and
forth. As regards, Rahu and Ketu, they do not own any house
in the normal context. Hence their position in the 6th/8th or
goiningthe 6th lord needonly be considered' Rahu or Ketu in
the 6th/8th will causestomachialdisorders'

6. FACIAL DISEASES.' Should the lord of the ascen-
drnt bc in a sign of Mars or of Mercury and be aspected
Merury, there will be diseasesof the face'
Notes : The lord of the ascendant should be in Aries,
Scorpio, Gemini or Virgo and be aspectedby Mercury. Even
lf Mars, ruling the ascendant,is in Gemini or in Virgo and is
aspectedby Mercury, the native will suffer facial diseases' The
occuPationcan be in anYbhava.
As regardsAries Lagnaand Scorpio Lagna a different look
be given to the placementof Mars in own sign. For Aries Lagna,
Mars in Scorpio or for Scorpio Lagna, Mars in Aries and
aspectedby Mercury will not produce the said adversity. unless
Man is seriouslyaffiicted otherwise.

Notes : The bints given abovecan be summed

being
Lordsof the 6th and8th in theascendant
with the Sun : Tumours,feveretc.
" Mars Diseasesof blood vessels,
hits, woundsetc.
" Mercury Bilious disease(like
jaundice).
" Jupiter Freedomfrom diseases.
t' Venus Diseases causedby sexual
union.
" Saturn : Windy diseases like rheu-
matism,artheritis,
paralysisetc.
" Rahu : Danger from the so called
Iow-castemen.
" Ketu : Diseasesof the navel.
" the Moon : Drowning, cough,tuberculosis,
asthmaand other lung
disorders.
Replacing the ascendantwith a ceriain bhava,theseaffiic-
tions to the concerned relativesbe predicted. For example,if
the 6th and 8th lords join the Moon in the 3rd bhava, danger
to cobornby drowning, lung disordersetc. be known. Should
Venus join the 6th and 8th lords in the I lth house; an elder
brother of the native will incur venerealdiseases.
Thus the qluesgiven by the sageshould be extensivelyand
cffectiv"ly applied in regard to diseasesfor the native and his
relatives.
. The affiictions to be causedby the planets,signsetc. have
been rather exhaustivelygivenin the notesin ch. 47 of my
English translation of Saraveli. Though it wasin the context of
death,the samemay be carefully used in knowing diseases as
well. The readermay accordinglyconsult the said Notes.
Dr. H. L. Cornell, M. D., in his 'Encyclopaedia of Medi-
cal Astrology' enlists some important diseases under different
planetarycaptions. By way of adding useful information for
the benefitof the inquisitivereader,I quote someas below :

Such are : Adiposis (excessiveformation of adipose tissue),
disorders ofadrenals, diseasesfrom corrupt air, alterations in
the red blood particles,disordersof arterial blood, disordersin
the back and of backbone,stonein bladder,cancerof the breast,

7-gt. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS .' The native will
befriend barren females(for sexual union) if the Sun is in the
7th. The Moon thereinwill causeassociationwith suchfemales
as correspondingto the sign becoming the 7th. Mars placed
in the 7th will denote associationwith marriageablegirls (or
thosewith menses)or with barrenfemales. Mercury indicates
harlots,mean females and femalesbelongingto traders'com-
munity. Wife of a Brahmin or a pregnantfemale will be in the
native'sassociationif Jupiter is in the 7th. Base females and
females having attained their courses are denotedby Saturn/
Rahu/Ketu in the 7th.
Notes : Any planet in the 7th (includingthe ?th lord, vide
ch. 24, sloka79) is normally indicative of absenceof sterling-
uessin characterin the mattet of sexualunion.
If the Sun is in the 7th in a horoscope promisinglose
character, the native will scek pleasures from femaleswho are
barren. As regards the Moon, the kind of females to sexually
intercoursewith, will correspondto the sign becoming the 7th
house. For example, when Virgo becomesthe 7th house the
female is a virgin; Libra prostitutes, Gemini a housewife and
so on and so forth. Mars in the 7th denoteg a female that
has come of marriageable age or one who is in her monthly
course or one devoid of conceivingability. Similarly, in other
cases. Jnpiter in theSh is alsono exception.
The aboveresults shouldbe declared,only after ensuring
that the nativeis primarily disposedto go out of the way for
sexualunion, with the support of other horoscopicindications.

spouseendowed with (the sevenprincipal) virtues who will
expand his dynasty by sons aird grandsons if the 7th lord is
exaltedwhile the 7th is occupiedby strong ascendantlord anJ

Notes : The above verses hint at the possibility of the
native obtaining children (and grandchildren) ifthe ascendant
tord with strengthis in the 7th with a benefic as the Zth lord
is disposedin exaltation sign. The combination in question
is meantfor the native begettinga virtuous wife as well. The
mere exaltationoi the 7th lord is capableof bestowinga virtuous

19-21.PLURALITY OF WIVES.. One wiil have two
wives if the 7th lord is in fall, or in a malefic,sSign along with a
malefic while the 7th house ,or the ?th Navamsabelongsto a
cunuch planet. If Mars and Venusare in the 7th or if Saturn is
in the 7th while the lord of the ascendantis in the 8th, the native
will have 3 wives. There will be many wives if Venusis in a
dual sign while its lord is in exaltationas the Zth lord is endowed
with strength.
Notes : For a dual marriage,the 7th from the natal ascen-
dant or the 7th from Navamsa ascendantshould be owned by a
eunuch planet. So to say, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius
should be the 7th as above. While this is fulfilled, the ?th lord
(from natal ascendant)should be in his sign of debilitation or in
a malefic'ssignalong with a malefic.
, The other two yogasare simpleand needno elaboration.

8-13. ,SHORTLIFE.' One's span of life will bebetween
20 and 32 yearsif the ascendantlord is weakwhile the 8th lord
ig in an angle. The native will only be short-lived if the 8th
-lord is in fall while the 8th hasa maleficin it and the ascendant
lord is bereft of strength. Death will be instant at birth if the
8th house,8th lotd and the l2th house are all conjunctmalefics.
Malefic in angles/trinesand beneficsin 6thiSth while the ascen-
dant hasin it the 8th lord in fall : this yoga wlll causeimmedi-
ate end. If the 5th house,8th houseand the 8th lord are all
conjunct malefics, the lifie span will be very brief. Within a
month of birth, death will befall the child if the 8th lord is in
the 8th itself while the Moon is with maleficsand be bereftof
beneficialaspect.
Notes : If the 8th lord is in an angle,the native-willbe
long-lived, according to sloka I of the present chapter. The'
ascendantiord bereft of strength,in such a case,will reducethe

father. Even if therebe somewealth of the father, Mars in
the l0th/l2th (not being in own houseor in exaltation) will
make the nativc disinherit patrimonyor enter into litigations.
So to say, such patrimony will not cometo the handsof the

13-25.COMBINATIONS FOR FATHER'S DEATH : The
father of thp nativewould havepassedaway prior to the native's
birth if the Sun is in the 6thlSthllzth as the 8th lord is in the
9th, the l2th lord is in the ascendant, and the 6th lord is in the
5th house. Should the Sun be in the 8th while the 8th lord is in
the 9th, the native'sfather will pass away within a year of his
birth. If the lord of the l2th is in the 9th whilethc 9th lord is in
debilitationNavamsa,the native'sfather will facehis end during
the 3rd/l6th year of the native. Death of father will occur in
the 2ndor l2th yearif the ascendant lord is in the 8th as the 8th
lord is with the Sun. Should Rahu be in the 8th from the 9th
(i.e. 4th from the ascendant)as the Sun is in the 9th from the
9th (i.e. 5th from the ascendant), deathof father will take place
in the 16th/l8thyearof the native. If Saturnis in the 9th from
the Moon asthe Sun is with Rahu,the native'sfathbr will die in
the 7th or the 19th year of the native. The nativein his 44th
year will losehis father if the 9th lord is in the l2th as the l2th
lord is in the 9th. If the ascendantlord is in the 8th as the
Moon if in the Sun'sNavamas,the native in his 35th/4lst year
will losehis father. One will lose his father in the 50th year if
the Sutr,beingthe lord of the 9th, is conjunctMars and Saturn.
If the Sun is in the 7th from the 9th (i. e. 3rd from the ascen-
dant) as Rahu is in the 7th from the 3r<l (i.e. 9th from the
 Chapter 20 177
ascendant), the 6thl25th year of the native will be fatal for
father. If Saturnis in the 7th from the gth (i. e. 2nd from the
ascendant)as the Sun is inthe Zth from Saturn (i.e. gth from

it follows that the situation of the 5th lord in the 6th house
is not very desirable, of course.excepting Saturn for Virgo

meaningthat the native'swife will brilliantly shinewith chastity

eventhe slightestcompctenceto saythat the Maharshi,sview is
untenable..
'In
this context, however,I quote a horoscope from
"SaptarshiNadi" (Volume for Tiurus ascendant). The whole
Nadi wasa product of intcrcoursebetweenfour groupsof sages,.
eachgroup havingsevengreat sages,in the benign presencJof
Parvati, a consort of Lord Siva. h, the seminaron Taurus

particrrlar(bearingNo. 25 in thc original volume)wasanalysed
by Parasara himselfas one of the sevenRishisio dialogue. See
the nativity :

Merc

 211 Brihat ParasaraHora Sastru

Dealing with the above horoscope, Parasaradescribes

lhe native's spouse thus : "she will be somewhat short-
tcmpered. Shewill deliver auspiciouswords. She will be dear
to her husband. Shewill live begettingfame from all the four
directions. She will be fortunate. She will be freefrom any
blemish(or Dosha). Shewill be dark in complexion. She will
feed the needy. In beauty, she will be akin to Rathi (the
extremelycharmingspouseof the extremely ch'armingCupid,
the Hindu God of beautyand son of Maha Vishnu). She will
possess many ornamentsand be intelligent. Shewill be modest
and will not haveany desirefor other men (than her spouse,i.e.
the native in que3tion)." This is how sageParasara describes
the wife of the native in questionin verses27-29 ibid. Though
no direct reason has been attributed for the chastity of the
spouse,we cannotignorethe dispositionof the 7th lord, parti-
cularly with debilitatedMoon in the 7th. The ?th lord is in the
' 4th giving the native a spousewho would be extremelydevout
proving an asset to the husband. As such the view of our
presentsloka in regardto the spouseis at the outset defective.
Thus the wife cannot be out of the control of the native. The
Chaukambhaedition also clearlystatesthat the native'swife will
not be chaste, see qrql{aqlilfrilr and hencethe versionof our
slokais also rightly interpreted.

Notes : I have observed two salient featuresin the 7th

disappointments in marriedlife. The conjugallife seldomproves
happy. (2) Severeaflliction to progenic indications' Either
there will be unhappinesson account of children or lossof
children.
The effects mentioned by the sage, viz' virtues, wealth,
honour and (general) happinesswitl also come to pasS. The
happinessabout marriageand progenywill visibly be absent.

"only", the sagehints that the only possible defect in' the ?th
lord's placementin the 7th itself will be. troubles from windy
diseases (like rheumatism,artheritis elc.).
One undesirable quality will, however, be found in the
native, contrary to no adverse indication in the text, and tbat
is his addiction tg other females. This is an exceptionto Venus

efrectsof the 8th lord occupyingthe 9th housein a nativity. In
the caseof a Gemini native,Saturnoccupyingthe 9th house(his

benefictendencieswill be quite meagre.

This placement of the 8th lord will produce all kinds of

145-148.MISCELLANEOUS .' O Brahmin, thoseare the
efrectsofhouse lords which are to be deduced consideringtheir
strenghs and weaknesses.In the case of a planet owning two
bhavas, the results are to be deductedbasedon its two lordships
(for the sameplacement). If contrary risults are thus indicated,
the resultswill be nullified, while results of varied nature will
come to pass. The planet will yield full, half or a quarter of
the effects accordiry to its strength being full, medium and
negligiblerespectively. Thus I have told you about the effects
due to bhava lords in various bhavas.
,Notes : We get important and key clue to analysethe
efrectsof a bhava lord placed in a certain bhava. Except the
Sun and the Moon, the other 5 planetsown two bhavaseach. In
236 Brihat ParasaraEora Sastra
the caseof the Sun and the Moon, the results cited will come to
pass. (Herealso onc ahouldgive due considerationto various
other relative factors. Simply applying the effects without
checkingothet sourceswill leadto pitfalls.)
When a planet ownstwo signs,its placementin a certain
bhavais affectedby its two lordships. For example,takethe
caseof Saturnin the 5th house.fora Piscesnptive. His position
in tbe 5th as the I lth lord w:lt givechildren end happiness
through them. And as the l2th lord, he witl deny progenyso
that the native resorts to visiting shrines elc. in a bid to
obtain a progeny. [n such a contrary situation the drfferent
results mentionedfor Saturn'sposition in the sth shouldnot be
Btraightaway declared but alternativesourceslike Jupiter(the
significatorof progery) and the Moon (the owner of the 5th
house)shouldbe looked upto.
Next we are clearly instructed in regard to results of
mutually drfferentspheres. For exampleagain take the same
caseof PiscesascendanthavingSaturn in the 5th house. Othor
rcsults mentionedfor the l lth lord beingin the 5th houseere :
nativebeingreligiousand happy. As the l2th lord in the 5tb,
the resultmentionedis that the nativewill bo devoid of educa-
tion. After sortingout the controversyaboutprogeny,it should
be declaredthat Saturnin the 5th will deprivethe nativeborn
in Piscesascendantof learning(as due to l2th lor{sbip) and
witl make the native religiousand happy (as the I tth lobd).
