These constant significances are derivable from the Bhavas, counted from the said constant Karakatwas.
The 9th from Surya denotes father,
the 4th from Chandra mother,
the 3rd from Mangala brothers,
the 6th from Budha maternal uncle,
the 5th from Guru sons,
the 7th from Shukra wife
and the 8th from Shani death.
