Instead of applying the formula, after finding the nature of the rasi in which a bhava madhya falls, and the number of the bhava madhya, refer to Table XVI for the Nrurasyadi bala. 131 A. Bhava Drishti Bala—To determine the drishti of the several grahas on the various bhavas, the bhava madhya point is treated as if it were a drishya graha. And all the rules enunciated under Drishti between grahas in Articles 93 to 97, are applicable to the determination of graha drishti on bhavas including those relating to the vishesha drishti of Kuja, Guru and Sani. The drishti on a drishya bhavas madhya is positive or negative according as the shubha drishti on it outweighs the krura drishti or not, as in drishti between grahas. Finally, the drishti of Guru and Budha on the several bhava madhyas are taken as they are, but only a fourth part of the drishti of the other grahas on the several bhava madhyas is taken. The total thus obtained of the drishtis of all grahas on a bhava madhya is the Drishti Bala of the bhava. First, we should determine the Drishti Angle, that is, the forward or anticlocwise distance from the drishti graha to the drishya bhava madhya, by deducting the longitude of the drishtr graha from that of the bhava madhya, If the longitude of196 Vedic Astrological Calculations the drishya bhava madhya is numerically less than that of the drishti graha, add 360° to the former and then deduct. If the difference found is less than 30° or more than 300° then the Drishti bala is zero shashtiamsa; and if itis between 30° and 300° refer with it to Table XI for the Drishti and Visesha Drishti Values. Guru, Sukra and Chandra are always shubhas, while Ravi, Kuja and Sani are always kruras. Budha is a krura only when he occupies a rasi with a krura, otherwise he is a shubha.197 Balas of Grahas and Bhavas nysiaq eysest, aiearpur ad4q yony ui samsy ayy] —"g“N €l LEE 9S ES ZL oOFE BL LEE Ze OEE ve €9¢ Sl 7e LO 8% LE €@k €2 Ize ct HOE se 2z¢ 90 pot Gh GEE SO SH LL €6z OE MZ €Z 667 #0 79% Le LZe £0 £9 60 L9t 8% FET lz £97 th Le 0 6% Cr 8% Gr 9ZZ 80 OIZ Lo €€z SF FOL LE 09Z Lr OVE 6S ESL ZI ZL 0 007 €L 89L 99 Ct TL 67E BL LOL Z€ OSL Oe ZL SL ZtL LO 80% ZL OE €% LF cr FZL se ZL 90 FLL 6F GLL SO SéZ IL ELL Of 96 €% 6LL $078 Seok] g WSsueal SHoMnsny Am313 Bulag BypaA TuIpuodsanoD Saw] d WsuEAL Shon nlsny Sey a Slog bypan SupuTdsaaD Vedic Astrological Calculations Sae_LSUPAL sHONTTSny WoOpy Saoe[g Wsubal shomidsny 214 (eYpea) woHPNAsqQ Jo sareIq *PAXX-?IMpatPsGocharam 215 As regards Rahu and Ketu, most of the classical texts have not assigned any benefic/ malefic places for their transits. However, Mantreshwar has assigned their benefic places as that of Sun. Their vedha points are also same. Rahu | Auspicious Transit Places 3 6 10. 11 Corresponding Vedha Points 9 12_ 4 5 | Ketu Auspicious Transit Places 3 6 10.11 Corresponding Vedha Points 9 12,4 5 Some others treat Rahu/ Ketu at par with Saturn/ Mars. In such case, the vedha points will be as under:- Rahu ] Auspicious Transit Places 3 6 il Corresponding Vedha Points 12 9 5 Ketu Auspicious Transit Places 3 6 i Corresponding Vedha Points 12 9 5 However, in practice Rahu and Ketu give better results when considered as similar to Saturn and Mars. Variety of views regarding Rahu and Ketu exist, it is difficult to arrive at any decision. For all practical purposes, normally Rahu and Ketu may not be considered for their transit results. In table 4, there are certain figures against the row transit places, which indicate the auspicious points and below those are other figures corresponding to each which create an obstruction (vedha) e.g. take the Sun. He is auspicious in the 3, 6, 10 and 11 from the natal Moon. Below these figures we find 9, 12, 4 and 5, it means the Sun's benefic effects in transit in the 3rd from the natal Moon, will be nullified by another simultaneous transit of some planet in the 9 from the natal Moon. He is benefic in the 6" from the natal Moon, but another transit in the 12" front216 Vedic Astrological Calculations the natal Moon will remove its good effects. He is good in the 10% from the natal Moon but another transit in the 4° from the natal Moon will eliminate the good effects. The Sun gives good results in the 11" from the natal Moon and any other planet in the 5“ from the natal Moon will cancel such results. These obstructive transits from natal Moon cause Vedha. Accordingly, the auspicious places and vedha points for other planets may be understood. There are some exceptions to the above. The Sun and Saturn do no cause obstruction (vedha) to each other. Similarly, there is no obstruction (vedha) between Moon and Mercury.PART II—-AYURDHAYA LESSON XIV KINDS OF AYURDHAYA 143. Different Methods of determining the Ayurdhaya—Ayurdhaya means the duration of life. There are as many as thirty-two different methods mentioned in classical works. Of these, only five methods are commonly followed— (a) Amsayuvu, (b) Pindayuvu, (c) Naisargayuvu, (d) Jeeva-sarmayuvu and (e) Ashtakavargayuvu. Among the authorities, the first two methods have each its own exclusive advocates who hold that each is applicable to all cases alike. While among others, Manintha and Saravali state that each method is applicable only under certain circumstances. Amsayuvu applies when among the Lagnadipati, Ravi and Chandra, the Lagnadipati alone is powerful, that is, has a shadbala of over 8 rupas: Pindayuvu when among the three grahas Ravi alone is powerful: Naisargayuvu when among the three grahas Chandra alone is powerful: and Jeeva- sarmayuvu when all the three grahas are powerless. When two grahas are powerful, the corresponding methods are adopted and the average taken. And when the three are equally powerful all the three methods are followed, and the sum of the products of Amsayuvu and Lagnadipati bala, of Pindayuvu and Ravi bala, and of Naisargayuvu and Chandra bala is divided by the sum of the Lagnadipati bala, Ravi bala and Chandra bala, to obtian the sphuta ayurdhaya. This view was propounded by Nilakanta and accepted by Sripati and Saravali. Again Sridhara held that218 Vedic Astrological Calculations this method should be adopted in all cases alike, whether the three grahas were equally powerful or not. There are also some who hold that for the adoption of one or another of the first three methods, the Lagnadipati, Ravi or Chandra need not be powerful in itself, but that it will do if it is, though weak in itself, more powerful than the other two. We have been testing each of these five methods of ayurdhaya in a sufficiently large number of cases, only to find that none of them yield even approximate results. In testing each method, We have adopted (i) both the ayanamsa given earlier and the ayanamsa of 22° odd, (ii) all the divergent views held in regard to the circumstances under which each method applies, and (iii) all the different opinions maintained as to the details of each method. It appears that the several theories advanced in regard to the applicability and the details of the methods were based only on a small number of instances. So ayurdhaya has to be determined in the usual way by judging horosoopes, having in view essentially the Marakas in each nativity, but not by purely arithmetical calculations as some eminent Hindu Astrologers maintain. All the same, we shall briefly sketch each of these methods just to let the reader have a taste of it, and to enable him, if he is so inclined, to verify the conclusion. 144.Amsayuvu—It is so called, as it rests on the navamsa positions of grahas. This was propounded by Satyacharya, and is largely followed. Bhattotpala states that it is the only correct method that should be adopted in all cases alike. But Manintha and Saravali state that it is applicable to the cases of individuals in whose nativities the Lagnadipati only is powerful or is most powerful of the three though in itself powerless. 145. Amsyuvu—Oocha Cheshta Rasmija Sphuta Gunakara—This is the first factor required to be found. To start with we have to ascertain the Oocha Kendra and the Cheshta Kendra of each of the seven grahas. OochaKinds of Ayurdliaya 219 Kendra is graha minus its neecha bhaga; and if the difference exceeds 180", it has to he rectified by deducting it from 360°, Cheshta Kendra is found as described in Article 124. Next, the Oocha Rasmi and the Cheshta Rasmi of each graha are found by dividing the respective kendras taken in degrees by 30, and then adding one to the quotient. Now, the Oocha Sredi and the Cheshta Sredi of each graha are determined by multiplying half of the rasmi by the respective rasmi minus one. Next, the Oocha Gunakara and the Cheshta Gunakara are obtained (i) when Sredi is greater than Rasmi, by dividing the Sredi by the Rasmi, and (ii) when Sredi is less than Rasmi, by dividing Sredi plus one by twice the Rasmi. Finally, the Oocha Cheshta Rasmija Sphuta Gunakara of each graha is derived by extracting the square root of the product of the Oocha Gunakara and the Cheshta Gunakara of each graha. Some hold that instead of extracting the square root of their product, we may, take half their sum as the sphuta gunakara. The latter method will give only approximate results, and that only when ‘the Oocha Gunakara and the Cheshta Gunakara are nearly equal, but not otherwise. This view has been advanced to save the calculator the trouble of extracting the square root of composite numbers, for all numbers are given in integers and sixtieth parts.

These factors are termed the Asraya Samjna Pradhama Guuakara. Asraya means position, samjna means funda- mental, pradhama means first, and gunakara means factor.Kinds of Ayurdhaya 221 SCHEDULE XXVI—ASRAYA SAMJNA PRADHAMA GUNAKARA FOR THE RELATIONS IN THE VARGAS $A SSS Varga Swakshe- Atimi Mitra Sama Shatru Atishatru tra tra Rasi 1/2 3/8 1/3 I/4 1/6 1/8 Hora 1/4 3/16 1/6 «1/8 1/12 1/16 Drekkana 1/2 3/16 «1/6 1/8 1/12 1/16 Saplamsa 1/4 3/16 1/6 1/8 1/12 1/16 Navamas 1/2 3/16 1/6 1/8 1/12 1116 Dwadasamsa 1/4 3/16 1/6 «1/8 1/12 1/16 Trimsamsa 1/43/16 «1/6 =1/8 1/12 1/16 EE It may be noted that the rasi values are twice that of the other varga values, except in the case of swadrekkana and swanavamsa relations.

Dwitiya means second. Some hold that if such a graha is both in its swanavamsa and vargottama, the asraya samjna pradhama gunakara or its rasi should be multiplied by twice the appropriate Asraya Samjna Dwitiya Gunakara, that is 22/7, 58/21, 2, 26/31 or 6/7 respectively.

The Ocoha Cheshta Rasmija Sphuta Gunakara and the Asraya Gunakara of each graha are multiplied together, and the square root of the product is extracted. The square root is the Ayur Varsha Gunakara.

They are as follow :— (i) When a graha is in its Oocha Rasi, the multiplier is 3 iii) When a graha is Retrograde, the multiplier is 3. (iii) When a graha is in Swarasi, the multiplier is 2. (iv) When graha is in Swadrekkana, the multiplier is 2 (v) When a graha is in Swanavamsa, the multiplier is 2 (vi) When a graha is in Vargottama, the multiplier 2. (vii) When a graha is in its Neecha Rasi, the multiplier is 1/2. When a graha has more than one of the above qualifications, only the greatest muiltipilier should be taken. For example when a graha is in its oocha rasi and also in vargottama, the multiplier is only 3, but not 3 x 2 or 6; again when a graha is in swadrekkana and in swanavamsa,Kinds of Ayurdhaya 227 the multiplier is only 2, but not 2 x 2 or 4. For obvious reasons the lagna has neither ayur varsha gunakara nor any of the multipliers. 151. Amsayuvu —Ayush Kala—Ayur means life, and kala means minutes of arc. In the ecliptic there are nine cycles each of twelve navamsas. So each cycle is 40° in extent. To determine the position of a graha in its cycle of navamsas, first cast away the greatest multiple of 40° from its nirayana longitude, that is, the number of degrees and minutes in its nirayana longitude is divided by 40, the quotient rejected and the remainder is the position of the graha in its cycle of navamsas. And when the remainder is reduced to minutes, it is termed the Ayush Kala of the graha. 152 Amsayuvu—Ayur Varsha— Varsha means years. When a graha is at the very first point in its arc of 40°, the number of years denoted by it is zero; when it is at the very last point in its arc of 40°, the number of years denoted by it is 12; and when it is at any intermediate Position in its arc of 40", the number of years denoted by it is found by proportion at the rate of one full year for every 3° 20’ or 200’ of arc. Therefore, the Ayush Kala of a graha divided by 200 gives its Ayur Varsha. PROBLEM 81 —Find the ayush kalas and the ayur varshas of the grahas, in Raja’s horoscope.

Chakrapata Harana— Chakrapata means the nodes of the circle of horizon, i.e., the ascendant and the descendant, and harana means reduction. The sphuta ayur varshas of grahas above the horizon at birth, i-e., of thoseKinds of Ayurdhaya 229 within 180° west of Janma Lagna Madhya undergo this reduction. But grahas which at birth were below the horizon are not subjected to this reduction. The amount of harana varies according as the graha is a saumya or a krura, being in the case of a saumya half of what it is in the case of a krura. The saumyas are Chandra, Sukra and Guru, and the kruras are Ravi, Kuja and Sani. Budha is a krura only when he is in the same rasi as a krura, but otherwise a saumya. The amount of harana varies also according to the distance of the graha from the lagna madhya. The semicircle of 180° west of the lagna madhya is divided into six equal houses of 30° each. They may be taken as the six houses of horoscopes, XII, XI, X, IX, VIII and VII, as they are spoken of in Modern Astrology. SCHEDULE-XXIX—CHAKRAPATA HARANA The westward distance of a graha from Lapna Madhya in degrees 150-180 1/6 1/12 Sripati describes a different method for determining the harana. If the graha is above the horizon, deduct it from the lagna madhya, and rectify the difference, if necessary (Direction II). Next reduce the difference to minutes. If in the case of a krura the minutes obtained are more than 1800, then divide them by 1800; and if in the case of a saumya the minutes obtained are more than 900, then divice them by 900. The improper fraction obtained in either case is the Chedha Bhinna. The reciprocal of the Chedha Bhinna is the Harana. And if in the case of a krura, the minutes obtained are less than 1800, then too divide them by 1800; and if in the case of a saumya they are less230 Vedic Astrological Calculations than 900, then too divide them by 900. The proper fraction obtained is itself the Harana. The Chakrapata Harana is applicable in all the first four methods of Ayurdhaya. According to Satycharya, of the several grahas in the same house of 30° from the lagna madhya, the harana is applicable only to the case of the graha which gives the greatest ayur varsha, but not to the rest. Another view is that in such a case only the graha which has the greatest bala is subjected to this harana. But according to Devala the reciprocal of the average of the Chedha Bhinna of all the grahas in the same house is the harana to be applied to the graha which has the greatest bala. According to Yavanacharya when the grahas in the same house are of equal bala, every graha not aspected by Guru will be subject to this reduction. 155.Graha Ayurdhaya—When the sphuta ayur varsha of a graha obtained as described in Article 153, is multiplied by one minus the chakrapata barana of the graha, we get the Graha Ayurdhaya or the number of years in the life of tbe individual denoted by the graha. PROBLEM 84—Find the ayurdhaya of each of the grahas, in Raja’s horoscope, after carrying out chakrapata harana. 15.119 17.206 30.170Kinds of Ayurdhaya 231 156, Shatrukshetra Harana—Shatrukshetra means inimical house. When a graha is in the rasi of its Tatkalika Shatru, one-third of its sphuta ayur varsha after carrying out chakrapata harana is deducted. But if the graha is in retrograde course, then this harana does not apply. According to some it is Kuja but not a retrograde graha, that is exempted from this harana. Some hold that this harana is not to be carried out in the Amsayuvu method. 157.Astangata Harana—Astangata means Immer- sion. When a graha is within a certain number of degrees from the Sun it is said to be in Immersion, and one-half of its sphuta ayur varshas after carrying out chakrapata harana is deducted.

But Raja died when he was 73 years of age. 160. Pindayuvu—Pinda means total. It is so called, because each graha has assigned to it, a certain number of years. Parasara, Maya and Yavanacharya state that this method should be adopted alike in all cases. But Manintha and Saravali state that this method is applicable only to the cases of individuals in whose nativities, the Sun is more powerful than either the lagnadipati or the Moon. 161. Pindayuvu—Graha Sphuta Ayur Varshas— There are no gunakaras or multipliers in this method. Each graha is held to denote a certain number of years when it occupies its oocha bhaga, and half the period when it occupies its neecha bhaga. At intermediate positions, they denote the period equal to half the period plus the period propertionate to the graha’s position from the neecha bhaga. So we have to find the Greater Arc between the oocha bhaga and the graha by deducting the oocha bhaga from the graha. If the difference is over 180°, take it as the greater arc; and if it is less than 180°, rectify it by subtracting it from 360° and take the result as the greater arc. The years ascribed to each graha being true when the graha is at its oocha bhaga, the full number of years is taken when the greater arc is 360°, and the numbers of years indicated by greater arcs between 180° and 360°, are found by proportion. 360° : great arc :: graha’s years : Sphuta Ay.

Pindayuvu—Lagna Ayurdhayu—Lagna has no Pinda Ayur Varshas. It has only an ayurdhaya which is obtained by taking the longitude of the lagna madhya in signs and ascribing one year for every one complete sign. PROBLEM 90—Find the lagna ayurdhaya, in the standard nativity. Lagna madhya is 276° 18’, ie., 9.21 signs. +. Lagna Ayurdhaya is 9.21 years.236 Vedic Astrological Calculations 164, Pindayuyu—Krurodhaya Harana—Krura means malefic, and oodhaya means rising. When one or more of the kruras, Ravi, Kuja and Sani are in the lagna bhava, the ayurdhyas of all the grahas, i.e., the years obtained after carrying out all the three reductions is subjected to a further reduction called the Krurodhaya Harana. The harana fraction is obtained by omitting the number of signs, and taking only the number of degrees in the nirayana longitude of the lagna madhya, and dividing it by 360. But when a krura graha in the lagna bhava is aspected by a saumya, the harana fraction is half of what it would be otherwise. It should be noted that, krurodhaya harana is not held to apply in Amsayuvu. PROBLEM 91 -Find the Krurodhuya harana in the standard nativity, and the Pindayuvu after carrying out the kurodhaya harana. Kuja, a krura, is in the lagna bhava.

But Manintha and Saravali hold that it is applicable to cases in which Chandra is the most powerful among the Lagnadipati, Ravi and Chandra, It is exactly similar to the Pindayavu method in all its details, exeept that grahas when in their oocha bhaga are ascribed a different set of years.Kinds of Ayurdhaya 237 SCHEDULE XXXII—Naisargayuvu years.

But Manintha and Saravali hold that it is applicable to cases of nativities in which the Lagnadipati, Ravi and Chandra are all powerless, i.e., have each a bala of less than 8 rupas. Like the Naisargayuvu, this method is exactly similar to the238 Vedic Astrological Calculations Pindayuvu method in all its details, except that grahas while in their oocha bhaga are all assigned the same period of 617+, days or 17 years and 521, days, ie , 8641/504 years. The total period ascribed to the seven grahas is thus 43205 days or 120 years and 5 days. The degrees obtained by deducting a graha’s oocha bhaga from the graha and rectified if it is less than 180°, is multiplied by 8641 and divided by 504 and the result is the Graha Ayur Dinas (days).

It is socalled, because each graha has eight sets of benefic houses counted from the rasis occupied by the seven grahas and the lagna madhya at birth.

The sum of the benefic (*) and the malefic (0) marks in each house of the same graha’s ashtak varga is always 8. These chakras are known as Bhinna Ashtaka Varga Chakras (Bhinna means small). When the benefic points of all the seven grahas in each rasi are added and placed in each rasi, we have the Sarva Ashtaka Varga (Sarva means all). The total number of benefic points in a the twelve houses, of all the seven grahas ie., Sarva Ashtak Varga is 337. PROBLEM 95 — Find the benefic and the malefic points in ihe twelve rasis in Ravi’s ashtaka varga in the standard nativity. At birth, the Lagna Madhya and Kuja were in Makara Guru in Karaka, Sukra in Tula, and Ravi, Budha, Chandra and Sani in Dhanus (Figure V). eH o0000=5 Ravi's Ashtaka Varga Chakra Fig.— XVIII.a Ashtaka Varga Ayuou 24. Therefore, the benefic points of Ravi in the twelve rasis from Mesha onwards are 4, 3, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, 3, 3.and 5, that is, 48 in all. The malefic points of Ravi in the twelve houses are 4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 2,2, 4, 4, 5, 5 and 3. But generally the benefic points only are marked in a chakra. If the benefic points in a house are in excess over the malefic points, then the graha while it passes through the house in its annual motion denotes benefic influence. But if the malefic points are in excess, the graha denotes malefic influence. If both benefic and malefic points are equal, i.e., each 4, then the influence is neutral. The degree of influence for good or bad is expressed by the ratio which the difference between the benefic and the malefic points bears to eight, the total number of all points. Thus, in the ashtaka varga of Ravi the benefie points in Tula are 6, and the malefic points 2. Therefore, the excess of benelic points being 4, Ravi is held to denote 4/8 or 1/2 benefic influence when it Passes through the Tula rasi. It may be observed that the ashtaka varga chakras are also used in judging horoscopes especially in regard to the most outstanding facts of life, but as we are not for the present concerned with Judicial Astrology, we shall pass over this aspect of the subject, and confine ourselves to the ayurdhaya. Before the ashtaka varga chakras are turned to use, two reductions have to be carried out, (1) Trikona Harana and (2) Ekadipatya Harana. 188. Trikona Harana—Trikona means, triangle. This harana relates to each set ot triangular rasis, i.e, (i) the 1st, the 5th and the 9th (b) the 2nd, the 6th and the 10th, (c) the 3rd, the 7th and the 11th, and (d) the 4th, the 8th and the 12th rasi. The following are the rules for carrying out the reduction: — 1. Of the figures in a set of three triangular rasis, deduct the least from each of the three figures, and note the remainders in the respective houses. So, if all the figures are equal remove them all. According to some, reduce the246 Vedic Astrological Calculations figures in the three houses to the lowest figure in the group So, if all the figures are equal, retain them. 2. If one or two of the three figures arc zero, no reduction need to be made. According to some, if there is zero in one or two of the three houses, remove the figure in the one or two of the houses. PROBLEM 96 — Find the benefic points in the twelve rasis in Ravi’s ashtaka varga chakra in the standard nativity, after carrying out the trikona reduction. Ravi's A.V. After Trik.

Ekadipatya Harana— Every graha, except Ravi and Chandra, has regency over two rasis; and so the two rasis After Trikona are said to be under an Reduction Ekadipati (Eka means one). The figures in the two rasis under the regency of the same graha, are subjected to this reduction. The reduction is applied to the figures FigXIX obtained after carrying out the Trikona reduction. The rules for carrying out the reduction are as follow :— 1. If both the houses under the regency of the same graha are occupied by some graha or other, leave the figures in the two houses with no reduction. 2 If only one of the two houses under the regency of the same graha is occupied by some graha or other, and (i) if the figure in the occupied house is greater than that in the unoccupied house, remove the figure in the unoccupiedAshtaka Varga Ayuou 247 house: (ii) if the figures in the two houses are equal, remove the figure in the unoccupied house: and (iii) if the figure in the occupied house is less than that in the unoccupied house, make the figure in the occupied house equal to that in the unoccupied house. 3. If both the houses under the regency of the same graha are not occupied by any graha, and (i) if the figures in the two houses are equal, remove them both: and (ii) if the figures are unequal, reduce both of them to the smaller figure. 4. If there is zero in one of the two houses, no reduction need be made, whether the two houses are both occupied, or one occupied and the other unoccupied, or both unoccupied. 5. The figures in the rasis of Karaka and Simha need not be subjected to any reduction, as a second house is not owned by their regents, Chandra and Ravi. PROBLEM 97. — Find the benefic points in the twelve rasis in Ravi's ashlaka varga chakra, in the standard nativity, after carrying out the ekadipatya reduction. Mesha and Vrischika are both unoccupied, with zero in one. Of Vrishaba and Tula only one is occupied, with zero in one. Mithuna and Kanya are both unoccupied, with zero in one. Of Dhanus and Meena only one is occupied, with zero in one. Of Makara and Kumbha only one is occupied, with zoro in both. Therefore, no Ekadipatya reduction is required. [2] o] ofo] 110. Rasi Gunakara—Rasi Gunakara means the multipliers of the figures in the rasis The figures left after the two reductions, in the several rasis of the ashtaka varga of eaeh graha, are multiplied by their respective Rasi Gunakara, and all the twelve products are added together.

(i) When more than one graha is in a rasi, deduct one- half from the ayurdhaya of each graha in the rasi. (ii) If a graha occupies its Neecha rasi, deduct one- half from its ayurdhaya. (iii) If a graha is in Astangata, deduct one-half from its ayurdhaya. (iv) If a graha occupies the rasi of its Tatkalika shatru deduct one-third from its ayurdhaya. (v) If a graha is above the horizon at birth, deduct one-half from its ayurdhaya. (vi) Ifa graha is defeated when in conjunction (yudha) with another graha, deduct one-third from its ayurdhaya. (vii) If Ravi or Chandra is of unusual appearance, as in Eclipses, deduct one-third from its ayurdhaya. When one and the same graha is subject to several reductions, only the greatest reduction should be made.250 Vedie Astrological Calculations 174 Ashtaka Ayuvu— After subjecting the ayurdhaya of each graha to the greatest reduction indicated, add all the rectified ayurdhayas of the several grahas, and multiply the sum of years by 334, and divide it by 365, to convert the chandramana year into the sauramana year. The result obtained is the Ashtaka Ayuvu of the individual.SUMMARY oS 176.

Birth-time—If birth-date is given according to Hindu chronology, then we have to find the corresponding date according to the Christian era, to be able to refer toa modern ephemeris for our data, The king's birth-date is given according to the Christian era, so we have to take it as it is. Again, when birth-time is given in nadis and vinadis from sunrise or sunset, convert the nadis and vinadis into the equivalent period of meantime interval (Rule V1), or take the equivalent meantime interval from Table III. Next, find the apparent time of sunrise or sunset (Formula 1) or take it from Table |. Now, find the equation of time as applied to apparent time (Article 11), or take it from table II, and apply it to the apparent time of sunset or sunrise to obtain the local meantime of sunset or sunrise (Rule V)252 Vedic Astrological Calculations Lastly, to the local meantime of sunrise or sunset as the case may be add the meantime interval equivalent to the given nadis and vinadis to get the local meantime of birth. Finally, the Greenwich meantime of birth is found (Rule Vil or VIII, Article 34). PROBLEM 100—Find the local meantime and the Greenwich; meantime at the birth of a native born an Madras, at 26 nadis 55 vinadis from sunrise, on Wednesday, Audi 5, Sobhakrit (S. India). Audi 5, Sobhakrit, is July 19, 1843 (Srinivasa Rao’s Universal Encyclopedic Calendar, Theosophical Society, Madras). 26 nadis and 55 vinadis = 10 hours 46 minutes. Declination of the sun on the date was 21° 2’ N; and the geocentric terrestrial latitude of Madras is 12° 59’. :. The A. T. of sunrise was 5-40 a.m. (Table 1). The sun’s sayana longitude on the date was 116° 4’. The Equation of Time as applied to apparent time when the sun’s sayana longitude is 116° 4’ is + 6 minutes (Table Il). -. The M.

Ordinary Relations between Grahas and Vargas — When a graha is (i) in its own Rasi, it is said to be in Swakshetra, and (ii) in it own Hora. Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dwadasamsa or Trimsamsa, it is said to be in Swahora, Swadrekkana, Swasaptamsa, Swanavamsa, Swadwadasamsa, or Swatrimsamsa respectively. In one word, when a graha is in any of its own varga it is said to be in Swavarga. When a graha oocupies a varga under the regency of its Atimitra, Mitra, Sama, Shatru or Atishatru graha, it is said be in its Atimitra, Mitra, Sama, Shatru or Atishatru Sthana (place). Hence, the relation of a graha to its varga may be one of six. As there are in all sixteen vargas, a graha may be in swavarga as many as sixteen times. For the special name given when a graha is in swavarga more than once, refer to Article 79. 200. Extraordinary Relations between Grahas and Vargas—In regard to rasi varga, a graha may be in one of three extraordinary relations—Oocha, Neecha or Moolatrikona (Schedule VI, Article 83). In regard to navamsa varga, a graha may be in the extraordinary relation termed Vargottama, when it occupies a rasi and a navamsa of the same name. This happens when it occupies the first navamsa of Mesha, Karaka, Tula or Makara rasi, the fifth navamsa of Vrischika, Simha, Vrishabha or Kumbha rasi, and the ninth navamsa of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanur or Meena rasi (Schedule |, Article 66). PROBLEM 124—Find the ordinary relations and the extraordinary relations between each graha and its seven vargas, in the king’s nativity. That three grahas are in Vargottama is a very rare feature; and Sukra is both in Vargottama and Swanavamsa It should also be noted that in this nativity, Chandra is only once in Swavarga; but Guru is thrice in its Swavarga, and Sukra five times in its Swavarga. But if all the sixteen vargas are worked out, Guru and in particular Sukra will be found to be many more times in their Swavarga, which is an extraordinary feature.Vedic Astrological Calculations 266 vaueu awies ayy jo esuieaeu e pur Isel @ ur BuTaq Yea ‘eWeHOSIeA Ul ae eING pue eYpNg ‘elny (p) RUOXLWL[OOP] ur are BNNs pue nny (9) “eSeyq eydaaKy JO PYD20G UT SI aUON (q 3p e) suoyejar Areurproenxg (11) ‘SIN—"S°V | ‘Ts—euTeS | yas yurs = esreaems eaieaems| edreaemg | ‘IS—'S'V | eBivaems eps eBreaems eareaemg rung “SN —"W TA-W eypng ein a WY edieaems vapueyd, aL Sv ary “RUT sey eyrID suonefas Areurpic (I)Summary 267 201, Relations between Grahas and Bhavas-The adipati of the rasi in which a bhava madhya is, is the Bhavadipati.

Drishti values— The values of the Drishti of each Drishti (aspecting) graha on a Drishya (aspected) graha are found with the aid of Formula 23 A to 23 G. Or they may be better found by taking each graha in succession, as the Drishya graha, and deducting from its longitude the longitudes of all other grahas taken as Drishti grahas. When the longitude of a Drishya graha is numerically less than that of a Drishti graha, add 360° to it. This difference may be known as the Aspect Angle, and with it refer to Table Xl for the Drishti values. The extraordinary Drishti values are given at the head of the vertical columns of the table. Finally, the sum of all the Drishti values, ordinary and extraordinary on a Drishya graha, is the Drishti Pinda (total) value on the graha.271 Summary 7 ZS 02 6% 8% Lg bE Sv 06 ZU ep WE 009T tues £0 687 - we Le 00 ¥Zz 8h 6L O@ ZEE 7 ol BL BINS 91 Ise€ | €l 7 sp 61 €l 9€€ 10 78 ce VE DE of PT ning L€ Ee | 82 CF _ 8% OLE 9L t9 8b FL LG o€@S eypng €O SL 00 98 te fh = 8b SOL | 0% 8¢ 18S LIT efnyy SL 69% | ZL OFE pp L67 TL St = ce CLE JSE ol IL erpueyd 0 o9LE| OF of% ZL oGPE | OF oLOE 87 oLP = £0 602 ary 40% 0ST] .€7 oLBL UG o€@Z | ET oL9T | .SE ol 9L | ,€0 0607 Wes BINS vypng einyy vipuey | rary WHVUD SVHVU9 ILHShIG VAHSIUG « sajguy yedsy ay “Anayou s,8ury ayy ur ‘oyos8 vfysiag youe uo anjva vpulg NYS a4 PulJ—LEL WE1dOUdVedic Astrological Calculations 272 097+] OO oo 00 IF +] 99- jues 00 [L+ | 00 o€l-| oO 00 Pans TZL+] 00 00 00 oze+] 6% - nny TO + 00 00 00 Zl +] 00 eypng Olr+} O'0 s9- | 00 Ve +| THL- einy 00 OIL+/ TL- | 6zz-| oO” 00 eapueyd 00 00 00 i) 28+ | oo 1aey epulg Tues eIyNg mins) eypng | e{ny | erpueyd TARY nusug eyeing seyeID nysug efysuq —?
