New Light on  Jaimini Astrology – III Commentary ary Of  (An Analysis Of The Comment Somanatha)

Copy Editor: Shanmukha Readership Level: Very  Advanced

[

 O      ne 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.

As the articles of Sastriji were very advanced for the internet Jaimini astrologers we have requested our friend Shanmukha to make extensive notes so that advanced Jaimini adepts can understand many 1st time revealed points by Sastriji even though these articles first appeared in Oct 1962. We hope Shanmukhas efforts have addressed the complains we received from  Jaimini net forums regarding the new concepts explained by Maduraji although they are part of  the standard commentaries of Jaimini.]

In the previous articles, I discussed the various types of Lagnas, the planet causing Raja Yoga, determination of Yogada and Kevala planet. Now, I shall discuss the determination of 

Let us discuss now Argala for a Yogada planet. The Sage Jaimini states in his sutras as follows:

   ेक षास  ु ाजानः जकालिघटका ाजानः janmakālaghaṭikāsveka dṛṣāsu rājānaḥ

278

patnīlābhayo'śca

A planet becomes Yogada if it aspects either all or any two of Janma Lagna, Navamsa Lagna and Drekkana lagna. If this planets aspects Lagna, Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagnas, it will cause powerful Raja Yoga. This is called The Argala is defined by Jaimini as 4th, 2nd, 11th house from any house or its occupant.

दाभाय श  लाग लाग  रळ िनात  ु  ुः dārabhāgya śūlasthārgaḻa nidhyātuḥ If there is Argala for a Yogada planet without Argala Bhanga (Cancellation of Argala) or any malefic yoga, it will cause a powerful Raja Yoga. Let us take a case of birth on 8th Aug 1912 at 7-33 p.m IST.

(  : As already stated in the earlier articles, Sri Madhura Krishnamurthi Sastri uses his own Ayanamsa. The chart is generated with our open source software to the maximum extent possible to get the longitudes given by the author. For the benefit of the users we are giving below, the longitudes given by the author. )

In this Drekkana chart Parivritti Trayapaksha method is followed. That is Drekkanas are assigned continuously for the twelve signs from Aries; the first three Drekkanas of Aries will be allotted to Aries, Taurus, and Gemini; the three Drekkanas of Taurus will be for the next three signs and so on. The Chara karakas for the example chart is given in the following table

Atma Karaka Amatya Karaka Bhatri Karaka (Brother) Matri Karaka (Mother) Pitri Karaka (Father) Putra Karaka (Children)   Jnati (enemies) Dara Karaka (Spouse)

Sun Moon Mars Mercury upiter Saturn Karaka Venus Rahu

Ghatika Lagna (GL) is Scorpio and Hora Lagna is Pisces. (  : For determining Chara karaka, the longitude of Rahu to be counted from the end of the sign, therefore (30° - 25° 55 40 = 04° 4 20  ). The Hora lagna given by the author is not getting tallied with our software calculation. This may be because of the Ayanamsa difference. At this point, we want to add one more thing. As explained in the 1st article in this series . Similarly, for calculation of Ghatika Lagna, the counting of houses should be from Lagna at a rate of  one house per Ghatika. Jhora calculates that from Sun, instead of Lagna. Another Scholar Sri Iranganti Rangacharya has endorsed the method of Jataka SaraSangraha and accordingly the same is  followed in our software. : Pisces : Scorpio whereas : : Virgo & : Gemini )  )

In this chart, the Sun aspects both Janma Lagna and Drekkana Lagan; so Sun is the Yogada planet. Sun aspects Ghatika lagna also. Jaimini Sutras 1-1-5 to 1-1-9 give the rules about Argala and Argala cancellation. Sun has planets in the 2 nd and 11th, no planet in the 12th, has Ketu above in the 3 rd and no planet in the 4 th. So, Sun has therefore ¾ Argala. Since Jupiter (a powerful benefic) is in the 5th house from Sun, it has ¼ Argala. So, Sun has (¼ + ¾) one full Argala. But, if malefic are in the 5th, 8th, 9th houses, so Argala is cancelled. Since Sun 280

with ¾ Argala effects, aspects Ghatika Lagna that is occupied by Jupiter, the native has full Raja Yoga. In this horoscope Arudha Lagna is Leo, and Arudha for the 7th house is Gemini which is mutually third and eleventh houses, enhancing the Raja yoga effect. The effect of Kemadruma is begging. According to Somanatha the effect becomes more malefic if aspected by Moon. But the malefic must be equally balanced in both the houses (2 and 8); otherwise the malefic effects of Kemadruma are cancelled. In this chart there is no balancing of malefic; so Kemadruma does not exist. This rule must be observed for Pada, Karaka and Lagna.

In this case, Rahu and Ketu are in 2nd and 8th houses causing slightly malefic effect in the Rasi chart. In the Navamsa chart, 2nd house from Sun is free and exalted Mercury is in the 8th house. In the Drekkana chart, 2nd house from Sun is having the benefic Venus and 8 th house is free. .  According to Raghava Bhatta, the association of Saturn with Moon is bad. But in this chart, since Moon is exalted, there are no evil effects.

281

So the ¾ benefic Argala effect for the Sun is as good as full Argala effects causing Raja Yoga. Now and then, there will be difficulties, excess of expenditure on the dependents and servants and for obtaining public recognition. Since Sun is in the 12 th house from Arudha lagna, loss of money through government is indicated. The native will aspire more for fame than for wealth. In the Drekkana chart, as 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 signs are occupied respectively by Sun, Rahu, Venus, Mercury and Mars and as Venus aspects Drekkana Lagna, the native will acquire wealth through noble means. In this chart, 7th house is stronger than 1st due to the association of many planets, of which Mars has traveled the maximum degrees in the Rasi – the Seventh house. Mars is the lord of  3rd and 10th houses and so the native will earn money through self-effort. Gemini is the 7th Arudha and the Yogada planet Sun is in the second house from Gemini. The native will become prosperous after marriage. Karaka for marriage – Rahu – is in the second house from Lagna strengthening the previous influence. Since Saturn, the Putra Karaka (PK) and Moon, the Amatya Karaka (AmK) are in the 11th house from Sun, prosperity increases with the birth of children. Since Mars is in a friendly sign in association with Mercury and Venus, since Jupiter is in 9 th from Mars (in Drekkana), the native earns his livelihood by his own intelligence and education. Since Jupiter – Karaka for Wealth – is in trine to Sun, the benefic effects for acquisition of wealth become very powerful. The same combination will also be responsible for making the native highly learned conferring a scientific outlook, moral discipline and intellectual acumen. In studying the Bhavas of a chart, Jyotisha Phala Ratnamala 7-15 states that Lagna, Yogada and Vilagna (Ghati and Hora Lagnas) must be studied for assessing the effects of the different houses according to certain Sages. But it is essential that the strongest of these must be taken before arriving at a final conclusion. Again, the Sun (Yogada planet) and Mars (the lord of Ghatika Lagna), are powerful according to the rules of Jaimini. These two planets must be the starting points for studying bhavas in this chart. Sometimes Karakamsa Lagna, Arudha Lagna and Janma Lagna alone have to be considered, which will be considered later. 282

In deciding longevity, the following points are to be considered. Lords of Lagna and 8th house 2. Lagna and Moon 3. Lagna and Hora Lagna 4. Ayur Lagna 5. Sapada Ghatika Lagna th th 6. Longevity from the lords of 9 and 12 Rasi th 7. Longevity from the lord of 8 house th 8. Longevity from the lord of the 8 house of Karaka and a few more. Determine the Ayurlagna from the most applicable of these and determine the time of death through the dasas of Varnada and Brahma. In this chart, all planets excepting the Nodes and the Sun are in fixed Signs; Lagna is a fixed Sign; we must determine longevity through different methods. th 1. Lord of Lagna Saturn is in a fixed sign. Lord of 8 house Jupiter is in a fixed sign; therefore short life. 1.

2.

Lagna – fixed sign; Moon – fixed sign  short life

3.

Lagna – fixed sign; Hora lagna – Dual sign Full life.

In this process, two methods give short life. l ife. In determining 8th house lord, the following rule of an ancient work is to be remembered:

Gemini Cancer Sagittarius Capricorn (  : The table above gives 8th house reckoning for fixed signs according to Vriddha Karika method. For remaining signs 8th house shall be found by counting 8th sign according to Prakriti Chakra, that is Zodiacal for Odd sign, and Anti-Zodiacal for others. Ayur Lagna and Sapadaghatika Lagna (also known as Chaturdhamsa Rasi) mentioned above needs another article for their explanation. Readers will do well to read commentary “Jaimini Sutramritam” by Sri Iranganti Rangacharya for more details)

In this chart, Aquarius is the Lagna and the 8 th house is Capricorn having Saturn for their joint lordship. In this special case, choose lord of the 8th house from Saturn. Here  Jupiter is the planet required and is in the fixed sign. : It looks author has taken the natural 8th house from the sign occupied by the lord Saturn.) 283

As the Moon is neither in the 1st nor in the 7th house, there is no need to take Lagna and the Moon for finding longevity. For this native Ayurlagna is Aquarius, Sapadaghatika lagna is Scorpio. Aquarius is Dharma Rasi and Scorpio is Artha Rasi, therefore the longevity is short. Commentators like Venkateswara and others want to take Navamsa chart also for consideration. Then the lord of Ayurlagna Saturn is in Aries Navamsa (Movable), lord of  8th house Mars is in Scorpio (Fixed). Therefore, longevity is of medium type. Mars, the lord of Sapadaghatika lagna is in fixed Navamsa and the lord of 8 th house Jupiter is in fixed Navamsa. Hence short life indicated. : According to Jaimini’s text 2-1-23,

   ेिशूाणकं    े    ेत िपतृलाभोग लाभोग िशूाणकंटिकाद त    ैवंवं िधा    ै pitṛlābharogeśaprāṇikaṁṭakādisthesvataścaivaṁ tridhā, The lords of the 8th houses from 1 and 7 are Jupiter and Moon; Moon is strong and in the 4th house, therefore the native is long- lived. l ived. It is the practice to consider Karaka in the following manner. Sun is the Karaka; the lords of  the 8th house from the Sun and its 7th house are Saturn and the Sun. Since Saturn is strong and is in the 11th house from Karaka, it indicates medium life. : A very important principle is here indicated by the author. In Parasara system, Sun is considered as Karaka for Body. Yet, in Jaimini, Sun as karaka for Ayurdaya can be deduced from the

   ेशाां िदन शाां āyuḥ pitṛdineśābhyāṁ as upalakshana. ) sutra आय  ुः िपतृिदन

According to Somanatha, longevity is to be settled by considering the Drekkanas of the Lagna and its 7th house using the rule Chara – Chara, etc. Since the lord of Lagna is in Leo Drekkana and the lord of the 7th house Sun is in Pisces Drekkana according to the dictum sthira dwandwa Chara sthirastha thus long life. Then after applying different processes of  longevity determination and eliminating the inappropriate ones, we find that on the basis of  the strong disposition of the Sun and Saturn in a common and a fixed sign (in Drekkana chart) respectively, the type of Ayurlagna indicated in the Drekkana chart should be accepted. In the Rasi chart, the Sun is in a movable sign without any association. In the Drekkana he is stronger because a planet joins him. Saturn’s disposition is also stronger in Drekkana. Hence Ayurlagna should be judged from Drekkana chart and a full term, i.e., over 66 years is denoted.

Refer to Jataka Narayaneeyam Yogavali Khandam By Sri Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murthi. 284

: It is not easy to decide the Brahma Planet. According to Krishna Mishra, if there are no planets in the odd signs behind the strongest of the Signs – Lagna and its 7 th – choose the planet in the even signs to select Brahma planet. In our example, Sun is behind the seventh house and therefore the Brahma plane. There are a number of types of Dasas based on this Brahma planet and let us choose Sthira Dasa among them for consideration. In this Sthira dasa, the third part (khanda) indicates death. Brahma planet is Sun and start Sthira dasa from Cancer, occupied by Sun, the Brahma planet. 1 st part is of Cancer, Leo, Virgo and Libra. 2nd part is Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius. 3rd part is Pisces, Aries, Taurus and Gemini. The dasa years are 7, 8, and 9 for movable, fixed and dual signs respectively according to Jaimini sutra 2-3-35. Now, the most afflicted Sign in the third part must be decided to fix the death inflicting dasa. The aphorism

   े पाप कोन    ेिप    े    ेवा पपम िप  ु  ुोगयोः ोगयोः पाप वा papamadhye pāpa koneripurogayoḥ pāpevā According to this rule, Aries is the most afflicted – more afflicted than Gemini. Aries dasa is for 7 years after the 72 year. Sutra 2-1-38 decides the Antaradasa for death. The Navamsa rasi – Aries- is aspected by Mars, the lord of  8th house. Therefore Aries antaradasa in Aries dasa brings about death. This means 77 years and 7 months. : This also decides the period of death. Janma Lagna Aquarius is odd and Hora lagna Pisces is even. Aquarius is 11 th and Hora lagna is the 12 th of the natural zodiac. Start from Hora Lagna which is stronger than Lagna as it is dual and is associated with planets and note down the dasa years for each Sign according to Prakriti Chakra, till Leo dasa is reached. 285

This indicates medium life and does not tally with Brahma dasa results. Different methods in fixing Brahma planet and other types of dasas associated with it will be given later.

(  : Please refer to the previous article for calculation of dasa years for Varnada dasa. Here, in this chart, since HL and Lagna are of different nature, so their difference (12 - 11 = 1) will be the Varnada number. Since, it is one in this case; counting one sign from dasa rasi gives same rasi. Yet, in this article the author used (Count minus 1) as dasa years, whereas in the previous article published in Feb 2009 Vol 5 Saptarishis Astrology he used Count (As it is) as dasa years. If earlier method is followed, then we get 67 as dasa years as total, instead of 59 years.)

As regards Ayurdaya – Longevity – Parasara methods determine it easily as full or long since the lords of Lagna, 8th and 10th houses are strong and since the benefics and lord of  Lagna are in Kendras. But, Parasara method is not so definite in many cases for which intelligent methods have to be devised for fixing longevity.

n Sarvagna Bhushana, a powerful benefic in the 10th house inclines one to look at the various positions from the spiritual angle and realize the   worthlessness and instability of the various things and enjoyments on the earthly planet and develops a renouncing spirit which is called Gnana.  Malefics in the 10th house makes on look from a materialistic angle. Benefic in the house when powerful (positional strength, varga strength and Avasta strength) leads one to higher thinking.
