Putra Bhava

Ch. 16. Effects of Putra Bhava

O Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putra Bhava.

1-3.

If the Lords of Lagna and Putra are in their own Rashi, or in an angle, or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness through his children. Should Putra's Lord be in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be no offspring.

Should the Lord of Putra be combust, or be with malefics and be weak, there will be no children; even, if per chance issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon.

The Yuti of Putra's Lord with Lagna's Lord in a good Bhava will ensure early obtainment of children apart from happiness through them. If they join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a defect in this respect.

4.

If Putra's Lord is in Ari Bhava,

as Lagna's Lord is yuti with Mangala,

the native will lose his very first child,

where after his female will not be fertile to yield an offspring.

5.

Should Putra's Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava,

while Budha and Ketu are in Putra Bhava,

the native 's wife will give birth to one child only.

6.

If Putra's Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putra, while Shani and Budha are in Putra, the native 's wife will give birth to one child only.

7.

Should Dharma's Lord be in Lagna, while Putra's Lord is in fall and Ketu is in Putra along with Budha, obtainment of progeny will be after a great deal of ordeal.

8.

If Putra's Lord is in Ari, Randhra, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an inimical Rashi, or be in fall, or in Putra itself, the native will beget issues with difficulty.

9.

Should Putra Bhava be owned by Shani, or Budha and be occupied, or drishtied by Shani and Mandi, one will have adopted issues.

10.

Should Surya and Chandra be together in a Rashi and in the same Navamsha, the native will be brought up by three mothers, or two fathers.

11.

Adopted issue is indicated, if Putra is tenanted by six Graha, while its Lord is in Vyaya Bhava and Chandra and Lagna are endowed with strength.

12.

There will be many children, if Putra's Lord is strong, while Putra is drishtied by strong Budha, Guru and Shukra.

13.

If Putra's Lord is with Chandra, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters; so say Jyotishi.

14.

If Putra's Lord is in a Movable Rashi, while Shani is in Putra, as Rahu is with Chandra, the child (so born) is of questionable birth.

15.

Undoubtedly the native is born of other's loins, if Chandra is in the 8th from Lagna, while Guru is in the 8th from Chandra. Malefic's Drishti, or Yuti is essential in this Yoga.

16.

If Putra's Lord is exalted, or be in Dhana, Putra, or Dharma Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied by Guru, obtainment of children will be there.

17.

One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if Putra is occupied by three, or four malefics, while Putra's Lord is in fall. A benefic (including Budha) in Putra is excluded in the said combination.

18.

If Putra is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Shukra, one will obtain an offspring in his 32nd, or 33rd year.

19.

Should Putra's Lord be in an angle along with Guru, the Karaka, one will beget a child at the age of 30, or 36.

20.

If Guru is in Dharma Bhava, while Shukra is in the 9th from Guru along with Lagna's Lord, one will beget a child at the age of 40.

21.

the native will at the age of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putra, Putra's Lord is in Yuti with a malefic and Guru is in debilitation.

22.

There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if a malefic is in the 5th from Guru, while another is in the 5th from Lagna.

23.

Should Mandi be in Lagna, while Lagna's Lord is in fall, grief on account of loss of child at the age of 56 will come to pass.

24-32.

Number of Children.

• There will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are occupied by malefics, while Putra's Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagna's Lord, as Guru is with another benefic.

• Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in deep exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhana's Lord and Dharma is occupied by its own Lord.

• There will be eight sons, if Guru is in Putra, or Dharma Bhava, while Putra's Lord is endowed with strength and Dhana's Lord is in Karma Bhava.

• Shani in Dharma Bhava, while Putra's Lord is in Putra itself, gives 7 sons, out of which twins will be born twice.

• If Putra's Lord is in Putra in Yuti with Dhana's Lord, there will be birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away.

• Only one son is denoted, if there be a malefic in Putra Bhava, while Guru is in the 5th from Shani, or vice versa.

• If Putra Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Shani is in the 5th from Guru, the native will beget offspring only through his second, or third wife.

• Should Putra be occupied by a malefic, while Guru is yuti with Shani in Putra Bhava, as Lagna's Lord is in Dhana Bhava and Putra's Lord is yuti with Mangala, one will live long, but lose his children one after the other, as they are born.
