Amsha - Bhava - Graha -Karaka

[begin quote] 1."O Brahmin,

thus I have told you about the effects,

• derivable through Karakana .

• Now listen to the effects, arising out of lordships of Graha over Bhava.

2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Graha.

[kendra adhi pati dosha]

Sukha-graha, owning Kendra, will not give benefic effects, while malefics, owning Kendra, will not remain inauspicious.

• The Lord of a Kona will give auspicious results.

• The Lord of Lagna is specially auspicious, as Lagna is a Kendra, as well as a Kona.

• Putra and Dharma Bhava are specially for wealth, while Yuvati and karma-bhava are specially for happiness.

• Any Graha, owning Sahaja, Ari, or Labha Bhava, will give evil effects.

• The effects, due to the Lords of Vyaya and Randhra Bhava, will depend on their association.

• In each group the significance will be in the ascending order.

Randhra's Lord is not auspicious, as he owns the 12th from Dharma Bhava.

• If the Lord of Randhra Bhava simultaneously owns Sahaja, Yuvati, or Labha Bhava, he will prove specifically harmful,

• [BPL: vikrama-pati+randhresha-8 = Mangala for Kanya indriya-lagna;

  yuvati-pati-7 +randhresha-8 = Shani for Karkata indriya-lagna;

  randhresha-8 +Vriddhi-pati-11 = Budha for Vṛścika indriya-lagna]

• while his simultaneous ownership of a Kona will bestow auspicious effects.

The Graha, owning a predominant Bhava , will stall the effects, due to another, owning a less significant Bhava and will give his own results.

• Randhra's lordship of Surya and Chandra is not evil. [BPL: Makara indriya-lagna and Dhanus indriya-lagna]

8-10. Natural Sukha-graha and Malefics.

Guru and Shukra are benefics,

• while Chandra is mediocre in benefice

• and Budha is neutral (a benefic, when associated with a benefic and a malefic, when related to a malefic).

• Malefics are Surya, shani and Mangala.

Full Chandra, budha, Guru and Shukra are stronger in the ascending order.

• Weak Chandra, surya, shani and Mangala are stronger (in malefic disposition) in the ascending order.

• In revealing maleficence, due to rulership of Kendra as, chandra, budha, Guru and Shukra are significant in the ascending order.

11-12. Lordships of Kendra and Kona.

If there be an exchange between a Lord of a Kendra and a Lord of a Kona,

• or, if a Lord of a Kendra is yuti with a Lord of a Kona in a Kendra, or in a Kona,

• or, if a Lord of a Kona is in a Kendra, or vice versa,

• or, if there happens to be a full Drishti between a Lord of a Kendra and a Lord of a Kona,

they cause a Yoga .

• One born in such a Yoga will become a king and be famous.

13. If one and the same Graha

• gets the lordships of a Kona, as well as a Kendra,

• or, if a Graha is in a Kendra, or in a Kona,

• it will prove especially a Yoga Karaka .

14. Lordship of Kendra.

It has been said, that a malefic, owning a Kendra, will become auspicious,

• which is true, only when it simultaneously Lords over a Kona and not by merely owning a Kendra.

15. If

• the Lords of a Kendra, or a Kona

• own simultaneously an evil Bhava,

he does not cause a Raja Yoga by mere relations stipulated

• (as per Sarga-34, shloka-11 and 12).

16. Rahu and Ketu.

Rahu and Ketu give predominantly the effects,

• as due to their yuti with a Bhava Lord,

• or, as due to the Bhava they occupy.

Yogakaraka status for Rahu-Ketu

17. "If Rahu and/or Ketu are

• in Kendra,

• receiving a Drishti from, or in association with

• the Lord of a Kona, or of a Kendra,

• it will become Yoga Karaka."

18. OMaharishi Parashara, please narrate, according to the Rashi rising, as to which Graha is

• a Yoga Karaka and which is inauspicious .

• O Brahmin, listen to these with examples.

19-22. Graha and Mesha indriya-lagna .

• Even though Mangala is the Lord of Randhra Bhava, he will be helpful to auspicious Graha.

  • Shani, Budha and Shukra are malefics.

  • Auspicious are Guru and Surya.

  The mere Yuti of Shani with Guru will not produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kona and a Kendra).

• If Guru is at the disposal of a malefic, he will surely give inauspicious results.

• Shukra is a direct (independent) killer.

• if associated with an adverse Graha

  [Shukra], shani etc. will also inflict death, .
