The Enigma Called Arudhas – Part 2 BPHS Series By Madhura Krishnamurthi Sastri Translation: Venkata Ramana, India Readership Level: Very Advanced A ‘Mission Saptarishis’ Initiative Arudhas Of The Planets One of the oldest authorities on Jaimini Astrology, he graced the Astrological Magazine in 1960s under immense persuasion of Late Dr Raman and gave us some rare jewels in Jaimini Astrology. At the age of 80, he lives in a small town in Andhra Pradesh. Incidentally not many in India & West know that Andhra Pradesh has been the land of Jaimini Astrology after Banaras. Revered Sastriji leads a strict Brahminical life along with being very open minded & extremely humble. His humility only shows his supreme mastery over astrology. He and Iranganti Rangacharya are considered as the foremost authorities alive today in Jaimini Astrology. Mr. Sastri has supported Saptarishis Astrology right from its inception stage. यस्माध्यपतिधे राशौ खेटा त्तद्भवनं तिज। ििस्तपतिथं रतशं खेटारुढं प्रचक्षिे॥ ६ yasmādhyapatidhe rāśau kheṭā ttadbhavanaṁ dvija | tatastapatithaṁ raśiṁ kheṭāruḍhaṁ pracakṣate || 6 तिनथतिभयो रेव ं तवज्ञेय ं सबलावतध। तवगणय्यपदं तवप्र ििस्तस्य फलं वदेि॥् ७ dvinathadvibhayo revaṁ vijñeyaṁ sabalāvadhi | vigaṇayyapadaṁ vipra tatastasya phalaṁ vadet || 7 Translation: Count the number of Signs/Rashis a planet is away from its Rashi/Sign. From that Sign count the same number of signs to calculate Arudha of a Planet. For Calculating the Arudhas of the Signs Scorpio and Aquarius* (these two signs are owned by two planets viz., Mars, Ketu and Saturn, Rahu respectively) and the Signs where one planet owns two Signs the stronger of the two signs is to be considered for counting. (Explanation)*: Arudha has to be calculated from the Planet which is stronger. According to Krishna Mishra even if Rahu or Ketu are stronger Arudha should not be calculated with reference to them. बालकृ ष्णनंद स्वाति (bālakṛṣṇanaṁda svāmi) in his work on Jaimini says ् ग्रहाि यावद्द रेु ग्रहस्वतिको रतशत्स्वातिकरशेस्तवद्दररातशग्रर हपद तिति वेतदिव्यं। ित्र रतवचंद्रयोरेकैक ु रातशरेवपदि।् भौिादीनां भौिातद स्वातिक रातशियं िेषा वृतिकात्मक तिति पदियं वेतदिव्यि।् grahāt yāvaddure grahasvamiko raśitsvāmikaraśestavaddurarāśirgrahapada miti veditavyaṁ| tatra ravicaṁdrayorekaika rāśirevapadam | bhaumādīnāṁ bhaumādi svāmika rāśidvayaṁ meṣā vṛścikātmaka miti padadvayaṁ veditavyam | Translation: Since the Sun and the Moon own one Sign in the Zodiac they get only one Arudha. But the other planets own two Signs in the Zodiac and hence get two Arudhas. This view gets negated from the Sloka “SABALAVADHI” (BPHS) which means for the planets who own two Signs of the Zodiac Arudha has to be calculated from the Sign which is stronger. As the strength of the Signs is to be known for calculating Arudha for the planets, the method for weighing the strength of Signs is given hereunder. The method being explained is given by Somanatha in his treatise on Jaimini Sutras in II Chapter 3rdVerse. The following are the methods given for finding the strength of the Signs as well as the Planets. STRENGTH OF SIGNS (Somanatha Mishra): बलाबल पतरज्ञानाय लक्षणं कथयति॥ balābala parijñānāya lakṣaṇaṁ kathayati || ु त्वं प्रथि बलं ित्रातप साम्ये बहु ग्रह यक्त ु त्वं। १ रातशनां ग्रहयक्त ं ु नीचातद वैकल्येन। ित्रातप साम्ये न ैसगरिः। ित्रातप साम्ये िग एवं कृ ि बलं प्रथिः॥ 1. rāśināṁ grahayuktatvaṁ prathama balaṁ tatrāpi sāmye bahu graha yuktatvaṁ | tatrāpi sāmye tuṁganīcādi vaikalyena | tatrāpi sāmye naisargataḥ | evaṁ kṛta balaṁ prathamaḥ || ु िे २ अथ तितियं बलिच्य कारकस्य चितु वरथबलपतरक्षण तिति तितियं बलं ु चितु वरध बलितप पवोक्तयो जनय ैव बोध्यि॥् 2. atha dvitiyaṁ balamucyate kārakasya caturvithabalaparikṣaṇa miti dvitiyaṁ balaṁ caturvidha balamapi purvoktayo janayaiva bodhyam || ३ अथ तत्तय बलि ् चरतिरोभय भेदने कृ िं िच्च कारकस्यातप द्रष्टव्यं॥ 3. atha ttiya balam carasthirobhaya bhedena kṛtaṁ tacca kārakasyāpi draṣṭavyaṁ || ् तु वरध बलितप चिथु ार ं ु नीचातदकतिि तवकल्येन कृ ि चिथु ं बलि।् एवि चि ४ अथ कारकस्य िग तवकल्प्य षोडशाधा किनीयि ् 4. atha kārakasya tuṁganīcādikalpita viakalyena kṛta caturthaṁ balam| evam caturvidha balamapi caturthā vikalpya ṣoḍaśādhā kalpanīyam अथ प्रकरिरे बलपतरज्ञानि ् atha prakaratarea balaparijñānam ु दृग्योगः प्रथिः। १ स्वाति गरुज्ञ ु दृग्योगो तितियः। २ स्वातिनि ित्स्वाति गरुज्ञ ३ स्वातिन आश्रय कृ िस्तृिीयः। ४ कारकपेक्षया कं टकतदष ु तितिििथु ः। 1. svāmi gurujña dṛgyogaḥ prathamaḥ | 2. svāminaśca tatsvāmi gurujña dṛgyogo dvitiyaḥ | 3. svāmina āśraya kṛtastṛtīyaḥ| 4. kārakapekṣayā kaṁṭakadiṣu sthitiścatuthaḥ | ु एवं चिथु रकृ ि बलितप चिथु ारतवकल्प्य षोडशधा तवभज्य तनणरयः किरव्यः। एवं पवोक्तोभयभे दने ितत्रंशधा बलभेदः॥ evaṁ caturthakṛta balamapi caturthāvikalpya ṣooḍaśadhā vibhajya nirṇayaḥ kartavyaḥ | evaṁ purvoktobhayabhedena dvatriṁśadhā balabhedaḥ || ् ् एवं बलपतरज्ञानं कृ त्वा बलातधकिेव लग्नं गृह्णीयि।् साम्येि ु लग्निेव। एवं गृहीिाि लग्नाि दशािने याः॥ इति॥ evaṁ balaparijñānaṁ kṛtvā balādhikameva lagnaṁ gṛhṇīyat | sāmyetu lagnameva| evaṁ gṛhītāt lagnāt daśāścaneyāḥ || iti || Translation: The Sign with a Planet in it is powerful than the Sign which has no Planet. In case Two Signs have got Planets, the Sign which has more Planets is stronger. When equal number of Planets are located in both the Signs then the Sign which has got an exalted planet is powerful. When the strength of the Signs is equal even after the Step (c) then the Natural strength of the Signs should be considered. (Natural strength of Signs): Common (Dual), Fixed and Moveable Signs are powerful in the descending order. Common > Fixed > Moveable Note: Only in the case of Taurus and Libra (which are owned by Venus) there is a possibility of getting each of them one exalted Planet (Moon gets exalted in Taurus and Libra is the exaltation Sign of Saturn). For other Signs which are owned by Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn one of the Signs owned by them can get an exalted Planet viz., Aries, Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn respectively. However, this (two signs getting exalted planets) is possible while calculating the Dasha periods as the strength of 1st House and 7th House or 1st House and 4th House or 1st House and 5th House or 1st House and 3rd House or 1st House and 11th House, should be considered for computing different Dasha periods. Strength of Planets: 1. When two planets are compared in strength a planet conjoined with another Planet is powerful than the Planet which is not conjoined with any Planet. 2. When both the planets are conjoined with planets the Planet which has more number of planets with it is powerful. 3. When strength of planet arrived as above is equal then the planet which is conjoined with an exalted planet is powerful. 4. Even after the above consideration the strength of planets is equal then the Natural strength of the Signs in which the planets located is to be considered. 5. The planet which is in the exaltation is more powerful than the other. The other sources of the Strength for Signs come from the aspect of its own Lord, Jupiter or Mercury. For planets the aspect of Jupiter, Mercury gives strength. A planet is strengthened depending on its placement in Moveable, Fixed and Common Signs (natural strength of signs). Further, a planet is considered strong if placed in Kendra (Square) from the Karaka. Find out the strength of Signs for calculating the Arudha for the planets (who own two Signs in the Zodiac), from the above method. Commentator’s Note: Most of the Scholars are in agreement with the above detailed procedure for computing the strength of the Signs. Some Scholars considered the following steps to find the strength of Signs. प्रकारांिरिोप्यन्यद्बलं ज्ञेय ं चितु वरधि।् ् ितितधरेषतह॥ प्रातिवेतशक िाद्यं स्याि बलं prakārāṁtaratopyanyadbalaṁ jñeyaṁ caturvidham | prātiveśika mādyaṁ syāt balaṁ tadvidhireṣahi || ु ु स्त्रीभनायकः। स्त्रीराशौ परुषाधीशः परुषरे यतदविेि िन्नािबलं ि ु प्रातिवेतशकि॥् strīrāśau puruṣādhīśaḥ puruṣarestrībhanāyakaḥ | yadivarteta tannāmabalaṁtu prātiveśikam || ु श्योव्यर त्ययेनतििौ चेदतधनायकौ। स्त्रीपरां ु िे॥ प्रातिवेतशकनािैित्प्रथिं बलिच्य strīpurāṁśyorvya tyayenasthitau cedadhināyakau | prātiveśikanāmaitatprathamaṁ balamucyate || Translation: A Different Source of Strength: The Strength a Sign gets when a Masculine Sign has a Female Planet and a Feminine Sign has a Male Planet in it is known as Exchange strength. (Translators’ Note: Here it is not mentioned which sign should be considered as stronger in such an event) Regarding the primary strength, sloka “prative(de)sikah purushe” 2-3-12 is given in the Jaimini sutras. This has been commented by some scholars as, ु ओजराशौ प्रातिवेतशकः पार्श्ररातशविीपरिः ु पॄष्ठिोवा प्राणाः बलवत्त्वेन प्राण इत्यच्यिे ु परुषे puruṣe ojarāśau prātiveśikaḥ pārśvarāśivartīpurataḥ pṝṣṭhatovā prāṇāḥ balavattvena prāṇa ityucyate Translation: For Male sign, if 2nd or 12th sign has got planet in it the sign or the planet would be strong. This is the primary strength. ु स्वातियोगि तििीयं बलिूतहिि॥् गरुज्ञ gurujña svāmiyogaśca dvitīyaṁ balamūhitam || Translation: When a Sign is conjoined with its lord, Jupiter or Mercury it is considered as stronger. स्वातधपस्य बलं ग्राह्यं राशीनांि ु िृिीयकि ् svādhipasya balaṁ grāhyaṁ rāśīnāṁtu tṛtīyakam चिथु ं पारदौबरल्य ं स्वातिनोयच्चिद्बलि।् यद्राशीशः कारकात्त ु कं टकातदष ु संतििः। पूणं िध्यं िथािंच बलं िस्यि ु िद्भवेि ् ु िे। परिो दुबरलत्वा िैपार दौबरल्यिच्य ु िे॥ एित्स्वाति बलं राशेििथु ं बलिच्य caturthaṁ pāradaurbalyaṁ svāminoyaccatadbalam | yadrāśīśaḥ kārakāttu kaṁṭakādiṣu saṁsthitaḥ | pūrṇaṁ madhyaṁ tathālpaṁca balaṁ tasyatu tadbhavet parato durbalatvā dvaipāra daurbalyamucyate | etatsvāmi balaṁ rāśeścaturthaṁ balamucyate|| Translation: Considering the strength of the Sign Lord is the third strength. When a sign is in Kendra (Square) to the Karaka it is considered most powerful than the Sign which is in Panapara [succeedent (2, 5, 8, 11)] or Apoklima [cadent (3, 6, 9, 12)].

Source of Strength (Nrisimha Suri) In his book “JAIMINI SUTRA PRAKASIKA”, Shri Akumalla Narasimha suri, has given the following steps to compute the strength of Signs. ज ैतितन सूत्राथ र प्रकातशक (नृतसंह सूतर) jaimini sūtrārtha prakāśika (nṛsiṁha sūri) अथोच्यिे ग्रहाणांच राशीनं बलतनणरयः। ग्रहयोगस्त ु राशीनां ग्रहाणांचतदिं बलि॥् athocyate grahāṇāṁca rāśīnaṁ balanirṇayaḥ | grahayogastu rāśīnāṁ grahāṇāṁcadimaṁ balam || Translation: 1. Planets which are conjoined with Planets are powerful. The Sign which has a Planet in it is stronger than the Sign which has no Planet. 2. Planet/Sign which is conjoined with more Planets is powerful than the Planet/Sign conjoined with less number of Planets. ं ु ग ैः। साम्ये बहुग्रहैयोगस्तत्सित्वेि ु िग स्वक्षरतित्र स्वतत्रकोण संतिि ैयोग उच्यिे॥ sāmye bahugrahairyogastatsamatvetu tuṁgagaiḥ | svarkṣamitra svatrikoṇa saṁsthitairyoga ucyate || Translation: If the strength of the Signs is equal from (2) above the Sign with own, Friendly, Trinal or Exalted Planet in it is more powerful. िद्ग्रहय ै ोग साम्येि ु ज्ञेय ं न ैसतगरकं बलि।् िच्चिंदावनीसून ु शशांकेत्यातद तनतििि॥् tadgrahairyoga sāmyetu jñeyaṁ naisargikaṁ balam | taccamaṁdāvanīsūnu śaśāṁketyādi niścitam || Translation: If the strength of Signs is equal after the step (3) Natural strength of Sign is to be considered. The Planets Saturn-Mars-Mercury –Jupiter-Venus-Moon-Sun are powerful in the ascending order. Sun is the most powerful planet of all and Saturn is the least powerful. ग्रहयोग तवहीनानां राशीनां स्वातिनां बलि।् ् ं वातपिद्गिः॥ ज्ञेय ं िच्च बलं स्वातिसंबध grahayoga vihīnānāṁ rāśīnāṁ svāmināṁ balam | jñeyaṁ tacca balaṁ svāmisaṁbaṁdh vāpitadgataḥ || Translation: When the Signs do not have Planets in them the strength of the Sign Lords is to be considered. ं ु जं बलि।् ग्रहयोगस्त्वाद्यबलं तचचिीयं िग ं ाश्रयोद्भवि॥् तनसगरज ं िृिीयं स्याच्चिथु त्व grahayogastvādyabalaṁ dcitīyaṁ tuṁgajaṁ balam | nisargajaṁ tṛtīyaṁ syāccaturthaṁtvāśrayodbhavam || Translation: Relationship with planets is the first strength. Connection with the planets which are exalted etc is the second strength. Natural strength is the third strength. Positional strength is the fourth strength. ु रोत्तरजं बलि॥् िच्च ज्ञेय ं चरादीना ित्त tacca jñeyaṁ carādīnā muttarottarajaṁ balam || Translation: Moveable, Fixed and Common signs are powerful in the ascending order. This is called as positional strength. आश्रयिोत्र तवशेषाच्चिथु रः āśrayatotra viśeṣāccaturthaḥ Translation: In “Jataka Sara Sangraha” the sloka “Ashrayatotra visheshachhaturthah” has been explained as, ् ् अत्र बलप्रकरणे तवशेषाि चराि तिरं बलवि।् तिरादुभयं बलवतदति रीत्या आश्रयिः बलं ग्राह्यतित्यथःर एिच्चिथु ं बलि॥् atra balaprakaraṇe viśeṣāt carāt sthiraṁ balavat | sthirādubhayaṁ balavaditi rītyā āśrayataḥ balaṁ grāhyamityarthaḥ etaccaturthaṁ balam || Translation: Common sign is powerful than the Fixed sign and the fixed sign is powerful than the moveable sign. This is considered as the positional strength and fourth strength. Similar opinion has been expressed by Shri Narasimha Suri regarding poisitional strength. Some other scholars have taken the above sloka as “ Aagrayatto travisheshasath” and commented as, ् थ े अग्रायत्तः एकराशौ बहुग्रहेष ु सत्स ु सवेषां िेषां ग्रहाणां रातशिारकबलस्य सित्वेतप अत्र अतस्मन ग्रं ग्रहाः तवशेषाद्बली भवति॥ अग्रिायत्तः अतधकबागको बलवान।् कारकवतदति बोध्यं॥ ekarāśau bahugraheṣu satsu sarveṣāṁ teṣāṁ grahāṇāṁ rāśidvārakabalasya samatvepi atra asmin graṁthe agrāyattaḥ grahāḥ viśeṣādbalī bhavati|| agramāyattaḥ adhikabāgako balavān | kārakavaditi bodhyaṁ || When more number planets are posited in one sign then the positional strength for all the planets is equal but the planet which has traversed more number of degrees compared to the other planets is considered more powerful.

When for a native, benefic Planets occupy or aspect 11th House from Arudha the earnings would be from benefic means, person of morality, good conduct, devoted to god. When the planets occupy or aspect 11th house are malefic the earnings would from questionable means.

When more than one of the combinations mentioned above are available in a chart there should be no planet aspecting the 12th from Arudha. The above combinations are powerful in the ascending order. Translator’s Note*: It is felt that the concept of Argala is required to be explained here which is relevant to understand the combinations given above. Argala means an obstruction. The special feature of Jaimini System is, either from a Sign or Planet, when Planets are posited in the 4th, 2nd or 11th house would influence this Sign or planet in giving its results. Further, planet(s) placed at an equal distance from a sign or planet, counted anti clockwise will counteract the influence by the Argala (obstruction) causing planets. For example, a planet is placed in the 4th from a Sign say Aries. This planet causes Argala (obstruction) to Aries. Now from Aries count 4 houses in anticlockwise direction and if a planet is located there then this planet will counteract the results of the planet which is placed 4th from Aries. Therefore, for planets placed in 4th, 2nd or 11th house from a Sign or planet the planets placed in 10th, 12th or 3rd would counteract their results. When the planets causing obstruction (Argala) are benefic and there are no planets which are counteracting their influence, the planets causing Argala will enhance the results of the Sign or planet to which they are causing Argala.

If either Venus or Moon is debilitated then this combination would not yield any result. ् देवालये क्षीनगृहषे ु ििि।् ु ु न दृषःटौ ५ लाभे भधाकी भजगे भािेन भूिाविेष ु के िोिंद्राज्जलेतिद्यवदन्मनु ींद्राः॥ 5 lābhe bhudhārkī bhujagena dṛṣḥṭau devālaye kṣīnagṛheṣu tadvat | bhāumena bhūmāvateṣu ketoścaṁdrājjaleṣvidyavadanmunīṁdrāḥ || Translation: When 11th from Arudha has Mercury and Saturn and aspected by Rahu the native will be benefited by Temple, dilapidated house.

[Comment: {Jataka Rajiya} General rule is that the planets which are aspecting the Ascendant will be able to deliver results. The planets in Moveable Signs aspect the Fixed Sign, the planets in the Fixed Sign aspect the planets in the Moveable signs and the planets posited in the Common (dual) Sign the other common signs. The planets in the common sign are more powerful than the planets in the fixed signs and the planets in the fixed signs are powerful than the planets in the moveable signs. Planets which are strong and conjoined with other planets and stronger than the Ascendant and planets which are exalted, Mercury, Moon, Jupiter and Venus are in 2nd, 4th and 11th house the native would be wealthy. For any ascendant (or Arudha of ascendant) one benefic planet must be located in the 2nd house. If exalted planet is there it is auspicious. When mercury, Jupiter or Venus is posited in the 2nd house they confer more and more benefic results in the ascending order. In the 4th house, of all the planets, if Jupiter is posited it gives the most benefic results. Similarly, when the planets in the 2nd and 4th houses are stronger than ascendant it considered as most auspicious (combination of Moon and Jupiter and Moon and Venus is good). For example, for Scorpio Ascendant in the 2nd house (Sagittarius) if Jupiter is located, though it does not aspect the ascendant it gives great wealth. For Aquarius ascendant Venus in Pisces causes ‘Maha Raja yoga’ and If Jupiter is posited it is auspicious. For Aries ascendant Venus in second house (Taurus) may not be very good. Fourth house is equivalent to ascendant in strength. If 4th house is a moveable Sign it is ineffective. If it happens to be a fixed sign it is considered possing medium strength. If the 4th house is a common sign it is of full strength].

Further, the results announced with reference to the combinations from Karakamsha Lagna can also be made applicable to the Arudha Lagna provided it is not connected with the Bhadaka planet. स्वांशवदन्यप्रायेण १-३-१७ svāṁśavadanyaprāyeṇa 1-3-17 BPHS: े ातधपो भवेि।् आरूढा तित्तभे सौम्ये सवरदश ् े ३०॥ सवरज्ञोयतदवा न स्याि कतववार दीच भागरव॥ ārūḍhā dvittabhe saumye sarvadeśādhipo bhavet | sarvajñoyadivā na syāt kavirvādīca bhārgave || 30 || Translation: When there is a benefic planet in the 2nd from Arudha of Ascendant the native becomes Leader of the nation.

If AL and A7 are in mutual 6/8/ 12* position the native will be very poor. *{Note} Shri Durga Prasad Dwivedi has mentioned that AL and A7 will not be in mutual 6/8 /12 positions. While calculating Arudha of AL and A7 for odd and even Signs, AL (calculated with the help of general rules) will be 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 Signs from Ascendant. A~1 cannot come in the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 Signs from the Ascendant. If the exceptions for calculation of Arudhas (as explained above) are taken in to consideration 4th or 10th house also can become A~1. In such event the A~1 will be in 1, 3,4,5,7,9,10 or 11 from the Ascendant and there is a chance of A~1 and A~7 being in mutual 6/8/ 12 position. लाभपदेकेंद्रे तत्रकोणे वा श्रीिंिः। १-३-१८ अन्यधा दुश्थे १-३-१९ lābhapadekeṁdre trikoṇe vā śrīmaṁtaḥ | 1-3-18 anyadhā duśthe 1-3-19 Example: Calculation of A~1 (without taking into consideration the exceptions).

This will happen in case when Ascendant Lord is in 4th house then 4th itself becomes AL and when Ascendant Lord is in 7th house then 10th house becomes the AL. Similarly, when the 7th house lord located in various signs: Location of Seventh Lord Ascendant 2nd house 3rd house 4th house 5th house 6th house 7th house 8th house 9th house 10th house A7 Arudha of 7th House 7th house 9th house 11th house Ascendant 3rd house 5th house 7th house 9th house 11th house 5th house 11th house 12th house 9th house 5th house It is mentioned that for calculating the Arudha for 7th house exceptions are not applicable, therefore 4th and 10th cannot become A7*. When exceptions are not applied AL and A7 cannot be in mutual 6/8/12 positions. This position (mutual 6/8 /12) is possible only when exceptions are applied for calculating the AL. [*This sentence appears to be contradictory to the exceptions for the calculation of the Arudha explained earlier.

The same rules are to be applied to find out the relationship between AL and A5 (Author: this opinion is not there in the Jaimini sutras but this view is supported by Vriddha Aphorisms). वृद्ध कातरका ु आरूढौ पत्रतपत्रोि तत्रलाभे कें द्रगौ यतद। द्ययोिैत्री तत्रकोणे ि ु साम्यं िेषोऽन्यधा भवेि॥् एवंदारातद भावानाितप पत्यातदतित्रिा। जािकियिालोक्य तचंिनीयं तवचक्षणःै । इति॥ vṛddha kārikā ārūḍhau putrapitrośca trilābhe keṁdragau yadi | dyayormaitrī trikoṇe tu sāmyaṁ dveṣo'nyadhā bhavet || evaṁdārādi bhāvānāmapi patyādimitratā | jātakadvayamālokya ciṁtanīyaṁ vicakṣaṇaiḥ | iti || BPHS: लग्न दारपदे तवप्र तिथः कें द्रगिेयतद। तत्रलाभयोतस्त्रकोणे वा िधाराजाधरातधपः॥ ३६॥ lagna dārapade vipra mithaḥ keṁdragateyadi | trilābhayostrikoṇe vā tadhārājādharādhipaḥ || 36 || एवं लग्न पदादेवधनातद पदिोतिज। िानियं सिालोक्य जािकस्य फलं वदेि॥् evaṁ lagna padādevadhanādi padatodvija | sthānadvayaṁ samālokya jātakasya phalaṁvadet|| If AL and A7 are in mutual Kendra (square) or Kona (Trine) or 3/11 then the native would become King.

Parashara indicates that the results are to be announced from the AL and A2 in a natives’ Arudha chart.

From Ascendant 12 bhavas to be considered. From Karaka the Planets are Bhavas. In the Drekkana chart the place (sign) in which the Ascendant Lord is posited is the Ascendant of the Drekkana and the place where the 2nd lord is there is the 2nd house of Drekkana chart and so on. Amsha means Arudha chart and in this chart the placement of planets is to be considered. The results are to be announced after taking in to account the various points as above. ् े प्रसंग वशाि पदातधकरणे योगतवशेषाः प्रवक्ष्यंि॥ prasaṁga vaśāt padādhikaraṇe yogaviśeṣāḥ pravakṣyaṁte || ् त्क्र ् ु ु िेण लग्नं गृहीत्वा ििशादेव पदतनणरयोतप। एवं भूिात्पदाि तििीये पदंच परुषिे त्क्रिेण स्त्रीचेि व्य यतद ु ौ िहाधतननोभवंति। चिथु य ं ाव प्रयोजकि।् तिरचिथु ं िध्यिि।् े तद वाहने चरचिथु ि चंद्रशक्र र लि।् एविेवारूढस्य आरूढोच्चातदकितप शभु ग्रहोच्चदृतष्टरतप बलवत्फलति। अयंच उभयचिथु ं ि ु पूणफ योगोन्यथालग्न योगाभावेतप। िथा च पयरवतसिोऽयिथः। पदस्य उच्चयोगं तवना पापदृतष्टः दातरद्र्यकरी। ु ु ल्यं शभु दृतष्टः उच्च दृतष्टि राजयोगकरी। एवं लग्नस्यातप। सरधा लग्नपदयोः चिथु र पंचिानक तवनानराजयोग इति तनष्कष रः। padaṁca puruṣaścetkrameṇa strīcet vyutkrameṇa lagnaṁ gṛhītvā tadvaśādeva padanirṇayopi| evaṁ bhūtātpadāt dvitīyeyadi caṁdraśukrau mahādhaninobhavaṁti| caturtheyadi vāhane caracaturthaṁtāva prayojakam | sthiracaturthaṁ madhyamam| ubhayacaturthaṁ tu pūrṇaphalam| evamevārūḍhasya ārūḍhoccādikamapi śubhagrahoccadṛṣṭirapi balavatphalati| ayaṁca yogonyathālagna yogābhāvepi| tathā ca paryavasito'yamathaḥ | padasya uccayogaṁ vinā pāpadṛṣṭiḥ dāridryakarī| śubhadṛṣṭiḥ ucca dṛṣṭiśca rājayogakarī| evaṁ lagnasyāpi| saradhā lagnapadayoḥ caturtha paṁcamānukulyaṁ vinānarājayoga iti niṣkarṣaḥ | Translation: For male horoscopes Arudha has to be calculated clockwise (zodiacal) and for female horoscopes in anti clockwise (anti – zodiacal) direction. The A~1, as calculated above has moon and Venus in the second house the native will be affluent/wealthy. If 4th house (from AL) is a moveable sign it is ineffective. If fixed, it will be of medium strength. If common sign, it is of full strength. Similarly, when A~1 has the aspect of benefic planet, who is also exalted, it gives good result even if Ascendant has no such aspect. In result it can be conclusively said that when A~1 is not connected with any exalted planet (either by aspect or position) and is connected with malefic planet it causes poverty. Aspect of benefic planet or exalted planet causes auspicious result. Similar results are to be announced from Ascendant also. For any nativity, if ascendant, AL, 4th and 5th bhavas are not favorable, it is certain that the native will not be conferred kingship or authority. For a nativity, the Yogas (combinations) of wealth and kingship are to be decided (most importantly) with reference AL. In Parashara system the combination of Kendra (square) and Kona (trinal) Lords is considered most auspicious. But, when compared to this combination the ones which are explained above from the Arudha chart are conferring multiple/abundant auspicious results. T his is mentioned out of the experience of the author. These are to be studied by the scholars.
