Rishi Jaimini On Eye Ailments
Rishi Jaimini On Eye Ailments
By
This sutra occurs in chapter on Pada (Arudha) but Gaunpada is like a bombshell
propounding eye ailments in just one sutra rejecting rules which are hundreds of years old
available in texts. Having pronounced the sutra the Rishi is silent on explanation of the
same. Gaunpada is not explained in Jaimini text, though he used words like pada, upapada,
padakram in different context.
To know the meaning of the sutra, the commentaries on Jaimini sutras by Mr. B.S. Rao
grandfather of Shri B.V.Raman, I. Rangacharya, P.S.Shastri, Varanasi based commentaries
by Shri Sita Ram Jha, Lakhan Lai Jha, Ram Chandra etc. were referred. Shri Rao interpreted
"shukra" numerically ^=5, ^=2; makes 52 and when written in reverse order it is 25 and
divided by 12 gets a Remainder 1 i.e. Lagna (ascendant), Gaun is 1 =3, "1=5 53/12,
remainder=5 i.e. fifth house. Everybody followed this interpretation i.e. Shri Rao said if the
5^ house from Arudha Lagna (A~i) is occupied by Rahu and aspected by Ravi (Sun ) the
person will lose his eye sight. Shri P.S. Shastri said that Rahu in the fifth from Arudha
lagna aspected by the Sun brings danger to eye. Shri 1. Rangacharya said that if the Arudha
of 5^ house is occupied by Rahu and aspected by Sun, the native may lose eyesight.
We tried to collect the horoscopes of the blind people and semi blind and found that the
interpretations given by the scholars did not coincide in their charts. We laid our hope on
Venus as karak for vision and 2ricl and I2tl1 house from Venus as eyes being gaunpadas of
Venus.
The 2ricl house and the Sun are considered for right-eye. The Moon and the 12^ house control
the left-eye. Venus is Karak for eye sight. Rahu is responsible for eye troubles. This exactly
tallies with Jaimini principles with only difference that he considered eye ailments from
Venus whereas modern astrologers from Lagna (ascendant).
Dr. B.V.Raman in his book" A Catheism of Astrology" page 25 dealing with vocation in
answer to the question "what makes one blinds" said "if Sun and Rahu occupy Lagna
(ascendant) and M ars and Saturn placed in trine, the native becomes blind". Modern
astrologers have come very close to theory of Jaimini but still they are hooked to ascendant.
Interpretation: Accordingly our interpretation of sutra is 2nd and i2tl1 houses from where
Venus is placed in chart if occupied by Rahu and aspected by Sun causes vision loss or
conjunction/aspect of Rahu and Sun on Venus and its 2nd and I2tl1 signs cause vision loss.
Table 2rid, I of part VII of Shri V.M. Natu , contain 45 horoscopes out of which 17 belong to
blind persons. They are serial No.3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, and 38. They
have Venus, Sun & Rahu combinations.
In the whole Column Chart No. 18 defy the sutra, may be placement of Sun, Rahu & Venus
is doubtful. If Venus gets Leo, sutra will apply.
Blindness is rare. In India one in a lakh is blind. We tried to collect data from some blind
schools but birth details were not available. We are of the opinion that yogas for blindness
should be seen in Navamsha Charts also. We have found 5 charts in the commentary of Dr.
P.S. Sastri and some reliable charts from Astro Data Bank website; they are given for the
reference of readers.
In order to reduce the size of the article this table of charts from Shri V M. Nathu's article titled 'Eye
Ailments & Astrology' that appeared as a 7 series article in 1986 issue of Astrological Magazine of Dr
Raman is not being given, in case readers feel the need for more charts a scan of it can be sent at a later
date by request from the readers.

In Rashi Sun joins Venus and Rahu aspects XII from Venus. In Navamsha, Rahu joins
Venus and Sun aspects them.
From 35 horoscopes discussed herein before. It is candidly clear that II & XII from Venus
are gaunpadas. Affliction or conjunction and aspects on Venus and its gaunpada destroys
vision and causes blindness.
Maharishi Jaimini is a genius. By just one sutra (rule) he covered entire subject of damage to
eye vision, making hundreds of yogas discussed by practitioners almost redundant. Jaimini
has made the diagnosis of eye disease very simple with only one rule.
Jaimini's Upapada hundli is mirror into married life and spousal relationship. Its use has been
avoided by scholars due to codification involved in its two components- Pitree and Anuchar.
We are trying to understand them. If we could crack it, the horoscope matching shall stage a
walkout from the domain of experts and terrorism of Kuja dosha shall vanish.
