Bhrighu Yogavali – Part 1 By: AVN Acharyulu

By Maharshi Bhrighu ‘A Mission Saptarishis Initiative’

Preface Every translation of a rare manuscript like this has a story. The story is never printed but scholars and passionate astrologers have a strong lurking desire to know the detailed process behind each work of this type. Our friend Ms Helen Patterson once insisted that we write an article describing the amount of troubles that are taken to finally get a translation out. If that is written then it could be interpretated by some as the team is trying to be boastful and take credit and one would normally not do that. Yet this has a story which might be of interest to some and some folks must be acknowledged is our main intention. After half a dozen articles of Bhrighu Saral Paddathi (BSP) series were published some 2 to 2.5 years back we received a call from an acquaintance who had been repeatedly in touch with us regarding procurement of nadis & some other Jaimini manuscripts which we did send it to him. Here we must hasten to highlight that this acquaintance has been referred to by Mr. K N Rao as his ‘young bhrighu friend’ in his writings. This gentleman informed us in detail that he spent the complete of last 3 days testing the techniques of BSP on hundreds of charts and it was working to such an extent that it was astonishing and thus he wanted to know the source which we could not disclose at that point of time. However at this stage since BSP was yielding very good results to many a practioners including this Bhrighu friend of ours, who have been very humble in making these confessions to us, we must add that there is more to astrology than what we know of it in the last 1000s of years.... However this bhrighu friend of us mentioned the name of Bhrighu Yogavali during the course of discussions.... The name caught Bhrighu Yogavali caught our attention, we wanted to ask him where to find it but then he said that he has already given 1200 of such Bhrighu Yogavali texts, scanned in CDs to an internationally famous astrologer, which this aquaintance collected by travelling all over India and even Nepal. Then subsequently the hunt for this so called Bhrighu Yogavalis and are thankful to this ‘young bhrighu friend’ of K N Rao started for creating this strong desire, hoping to

find something similar to BSPs in this Bhrighu Yogavalis. A hunt that has caused us some pain which would be mentioned in detail later. We started calling all our friends to hunt and further procure these Bhrighu Yogavalis. Finally it was SA volunteer Mr Ashutosh Kumar from Ranchi who having searched it in a lot of places got hold of it in Delhi, he probably paid Rs 5000/- ($110) for a photocopy from his own pocket and got one of the Bhrighu Yogavalis texts in Sanskrit. When he called us to inform about it, we were spell bound since texts of Bhrighu Rishi cannot be so easily obtained, but the edges of it were badly spoilt and the print very faint. Yet we were determined to translate it out since least to least some clues would be gotten. Then after having contacted many Sanskrit scholars who refused to touch it since the first 2 pages were missing and the later 30 odd pages had their edges spoilt thereby making the shlokas not possible to be properly translated, one Sanskrit translator agreed to translate and infact did some work on it but he turned rogue and later did some things of stabbing us in the back, this was a hurtful period since it showed us how bad we were in judging people. We gave up on the manuscript and it was a period of depression due to other incidents too. Finally a volunteer by the name of Mr. Upendra Agnihotram from Hyderabad contacted us that his father who resides in a village and is a Sanskrit school teacher would translate it into English but the problem was his father did not know English well and he could translate from Sanskrit to only Telegu language. Then Mr Upendra said he would in turn translate it into English. We took the chance and it took some time, infact a lot of time to get the job done since, Ashutosh took a long time getting it scanned (he had to get it done on a friends scanner) and then sending it to us, we would in return send it to Upendra, who would in turn send it to his father in a village in Andhra Pradesh and then his father would translate it on a piece of paper and then post it to Upendra who had to in turn translate and type out both Sanskrit and English during his spare time. One can wonder if a professional astrologer will be able to devote so much time to do what Upendra did, would he have the love for getting knowledge out like how Upendra had. Then a problem came about (this often happens with Bhrighu Texts) Mr Upendra got busy with official work and the work got stalled, at the same time Ashutosh was somehow not able to send further scanned copies. There was more mishaps which need not be mentioned as it would take space yet they were significant and caused more pain as the delay of reading what Bhrighu Rishi had authentically written, as for the first time in the history of astrology there was a written manuscript supposedly prescribed to Bhrighu Rishi, otherwise the Bhrighu Samhitas original leaves never come out in the open. We spoke to mentor somewhere during this period and he said that Khemraj Publishers, Mumbai had published one of these Bhrighu Yogavalis many decades back and to procure it from them, we called the owner and he was least interested in going to his godown to part with that one copy. Meanwhile during the Nadi Astrology Conference in Hyderabad we met once again the beautiful couple of Gowri Shankar and his wife Shakuntala and told them our problem, they said in an ‘instant’ they would take over from Upendra (he has completed till 200 shlokas) and type it out and further translate it. Then there were technical problems with the Sanskrit typing which took our tool since none of us are computer experts and then the rough translation was ready but what about the first two pages which would give us the period of the text. A chance talking with one of the volunteers brought a solution, he said it is available in Bhandarkar Manuscript Library, Pune and he would procure it. Finally he sent us that manuscript which completed this particular text. There is a story behind this but due to a reason we do not mention the strange story behind it. Then Shakuntala compared both the texts and has finally reproduced the best out of it, though still some shlokas are missing. We had procured the help of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan and even promised to pay some money to get the Sanskrit translation double checked since this text contains remedies for the yogas and remedies cannot be wrongly translated. Atleast the best of the efforts need to be made. Somehow that deal with BVB fell through and a lady having doctorate in Sanskrit was

contacted in Dehradun who promised to check the translation but after 2 months she could not be contacted again. Finally Chandrashekhar Sharma who had earlier been busy with other texts was forced to double check the translation and eventually Part 1 of this work is out, after a gap of 2 to 2.5 years. One would see after reading this text that for the first time one gets to see names of New Yogas in astrology, the reason behind a yoga, the past life karma and the remedy for it, all this escapes all the other texts on Yogas. The biggest joy for us is that it also corroborated one of the lectures that we had given in Hyderabad some years back wherein we had mentioned (without knowing if such a text exists) that each Yoga needs to state the remedy behind it and the karma done in the past life for that yoga to exist in the chart in this life. This made us most happy when recently we saw this translation of Bhrighu Yogavali. As to what we said in Hyderabad at an astrological conference and how Mr. A V Sundaram revealed some secrets to us, another article that is pending since a year will be published soon or probably together with this write up. We request everyone to read this manuscript translation of Bhrighu Yogavali which presumably is one of the 1200 manuscripts of the same name and as per the 2nd shloka, it seems to be from a period of Treta Yuga, probably making it one of the oldest Jyotish documents to ever come out.We thank that young bhrighu astrologer friend of K N Rao who directed us to this manuscript with just two words ‘Bhrighu Yogavali’, although this work is on yogas and does not contain predictive techniques similar to BSP, yet he must be thanked. Many of you would only read this work and go on with your day to day activities, our request is remove few minutes and thank the team atleast mentally, a team who dedicatedly worked on it and if you can send a Thank Younote to them would be most encouraging, but do remember the word Thank You does not exist in 99% of astrologers vocabulary, you would be that rare 1% of the breed. – SA Publisher. P.S: Please do not approach us for any contact details of people mentioned in articles because as a policy we would not able to furnish the same.

sthūlodātadhanāḍhyovarakanakayuto bhūriratnādipurṇo bhūpālairyātisāyaṁbahusutabhrutakairdīrghamāayurmanojñaḥ || 11 ||

Manognya yoga is formed when Saturn is in its exaltation (Libra in 10th house), Sun is conjunct Mars in Aries in the 4th house and Venus is conjunct either with Jupiter or Mercury. On account of this, the person will be stout, generous and rich, has abundant gold and precious gems. He will have many sons and will be long lived. Also he will either be a king or will be respected/honoured by kings.

हरयगेहंकृतंऩव ं ेनत ै द्मोग संबव्॥ ू त मेनाऽकस्भन्सखभाप्नोतत धनाढ्मो याजऩकू जत्॥ १२॥ harigehaṁkṛtaṁpūrvaṁtenaitadyoga saṁbhavaḥ || yenā‟sminsukhamāpnoti dhanāḍhyo rājapūjitaḥ || 12 ||

(This yoga is formed) Because of constructing a temple for Lord Vishnu in the past life, the person in the present life will be wealthy, happy and will be honoured by the king.

नकृतंचहये गेहंऩयातेनापऩद्णखत्॥ nakṛtaṁcaharegehaṁpurātenāpiduḥkhitaḥ ||

This misfortune is for not having worshipped Lord Vishnu in the previous life.

॥ शि उवाच॥ || śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

क्रकं जाप्मं कस्म ऩज ू ा च क्रकं दानं च क्रकभौषधभ ्॥ १४॥ kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 14 ||

What Japas, Pujas, and Danas should be performed and what medications should be taken (to avoid the above situation)?

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

शने् सप्ताऺये भन्िं बौभभन्िं षडऺयभ ्॥ प्रत्मेकं द्पवसहस्रं त जप्त्वा दे मं धनं तत्॥ १५॥ śaneḥ saptākṣare mantraṁ bhaumamantraṁ ṣaḍakṣaram || pratyekaṁ dvisahasraṁ tu japtvā deyaṁ dhanaṁ tataḥ || 15 ||

Seven lettered Shani (Saturn) mantra and six lettered Kuja (Mars) mantra should be chanted for 2000 times each and then money should be donated.

यजतं सप्तषट्कं च हाटकं च तथैव च॥ rajataṁ saptaṣaṭkaṁ ca hāṭakaṁ ca tathaiva ca||

The native should also donate 42 (7 x 6) silver and gold coins each.

त्रिंशत्ऩरं ताम्रऩािं घत ृ ेन ऩरयऩरू यतभ ्॥ वष ू ौ प्रदद्माब्राह्भणामच॥ १६॥ ृ बं वस्िगोधभ triṁśatpalaṁ tāmrapātraṁ ghṛtena paripūritam|| vṛṣabhaṁ vastragodhūmau pradadyābrāhmaṇāyaca || 16 ||

(The native should) Donate a copper vessel (plate) weighing 30 palas filled with ghee. Also donate a bull, clothes, wheat to a Brahmin.

दे शं स्वं बमू भदानं च कायमेच्रद्धमाकन्वत्॥ एतद्दानोऩचाये ण तनयोगी च सणख बवेत ्॥ १७॥ deśaṁ svaṁ bhūmidānaṁ ca kārayecchraddhayānvitaḥ|| etaddāanopacāreṇa nirogī ca sukhi bhavet || 17 ||

The person should also donate a part of his own land with full faith. By performing the (above said) danas, he will become free of diseases and will be happy.

सप्तजन्भ पवना दानौये त द्मोगाद्दरयद्रता॥ कपवनाच कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ १८॥ saptajanma vinā dānaureta dyogāddaridratā || kavināca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 18 ||

For one born in this yoga, by not performing the remedial measures, the person will become a daridra (poor) for the next seven births. Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

इतत भनोऻमोगपरभ ्॥ iti manojñayogaphalam ||

End of Manognya yoga phalam.

अथ पवबवमोगपरभ ्॥ atha vibhavayogaphalam ||

Vaibhava Yoga Phalam.

िूयऺेिे मदा जीव् सतेश् िूयसंभत्॥ कभेशो ना पवरग्नेश् िूय् िूयगह ृ े मदा॥१९॥

kṛurakṣetre yadā jīvaḥ suteśaḥ kṛurasaṁmataḥ || karmeśo nā vilagneśaḥ kṛuraḥ kṛuragṛuhe yadā ||19 ||

When Jupiter is in a rasi owned by a malefic and 5th lord is with malefics, 10thlord or Lagna lord are malefics and in a placed in a malefic rasi,

बौभाकष वीक्षऺतोऽधधशस्तदा मोगो हह वैबव्॥ ऩव ू ं तीथे कृता सेवा ऋषीणां च ऩन् ऩन्॥ २०॥ bhaumārka vīkṣito'dhiśastadā yogo hi vaibhavaḥ || pūrvaṁ tīrthe kṛtā sevā ṛuṣīṇāṁ ca puanaḥ punaḥ || 20 ||

(and) Mars and Sun aspect Lagna Lord, Vaibhava Yoga is formed. This is because the native in his past life had served the Rishis in holy places again and again.

तेन सौख्मं बवेत्तस्म धनाढमो याजऩकू जत्॥ गौयश्च चऩरो व्ता गणण च भद ृ वा्सधी्॥ २१॥ tena saukhyaṁ bhavettasya dhanāḍhayo rājapūjitaḥ || gauraśca capalo vaktā guṇi ca mṛduvāksudhīḥ || 21 ||

(As the result of this yoga,) The person (in the present life) will be rich, happy and is respected by the king. He will have reddish complexion, will be fickle minded, good orator, wise, soft spoken and will be endowed with good qualities.

फहस्थानेष दाता च मभिशि सभो बवेत ्॥ संतानो न बवेत्तस्म जातोपऩच न जीवतत॥ २२॥ bahusthāneṣu dātā ca mitraśatru samo bhavet || saṁtāno na bhavettasya jātopica na jīvati || 22 ||

He will be known as a donor in many places and will have equal number of friends and enemies. (However, because of this yoga) He will be childless or the child will not survive even if he is born.

सतीकरंकभाऽऽदाम ब्रह्भशाऩतनयाहत्॥ satīkalaṁkamā''dāya brahmaśāpanirāhataḥ||

The above (problems in case of children) are because of defaming a virtuous married female and acquiring a Brahmashapa (curse) that could not be taken back in the past life.

शि उवाच॥ śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

क्रकं जाप्मं कस्म ऩज ू ा च क्रकं दानं च क्रकभौषधभ ्॥ २३॥ kim jāpyaṁ kasya pūja ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham|| 23 ||

“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛuguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

यीततऩािं ऩरान्ऩंच तन्भध्मे ति भंडरे॥ सतीरूऩंच कतषव्मं तदग्रे कायमेज्जऩभ ्॥ २४॥ rītipātraṁ palānpaṁca tanmadhye tatra maṁḍale || satīrūpaṁca kartavyaṁ tadagre kārayejjapam || 24 ||

Take a brass vessel (plate) measuring 5 palas (a particular weight equal to 4 Karsas) and draw a mandala in the center. On the mandala draw a picture of Sati (virtuous married woman) and perform japa (of the same) in front of such a yantra.

अमतं ऩद्मनाबस्म भंिं फीजाऺयं जऩेत ्॥ ऩयोऩरयतनं कामं ऩव ू ो्तपवधधना सह॥ २५॥ ayutaṁ padmanābhasya maṁtraṁ bījākṣaraṁ japet || puroparitanaṁ kāryaṁ pūrvoktavidhinā saha || 25 ||

Perform Padmanabha beeja mantra japa 10,000 times in the sanctuary of a temple as stated in the procedure earlier.

ततो दानं प्रकत्तषव्मं नवषट्कं च हाटकभ ्॥ यजतं बानषत्कंच हदव्मं वस्िंवयकस्िमै ॥ २६॥ tato dānaṁ prakarttavyaṁ navaṣaṭkaṁ ca hāṭakam || rajataṁ bhānuṣatkaṁca divyaṁ vastraṁvarastriyai || 26 ||

(After the japas) donate 54 (9 x 6) pieces of gold and 72 (12 x 6) pieces of silver. Also donate beautiful clothes to women.

एतद्तं भमा ऩि जऩांते त पवतनहदष शत े ्॥ ऋत्वंते स्िीष दातव्म भर्घ्मं सम ू ाषम दाऩमेत ्॥ २७॥ etaduktaṁ mayā putra japāṁte tu vinirdiśet || ṛtvaṁte strīṣu dātavya marghyaṁ sūryāya dāpayet || 27 ||

My son, I have been told that one should offer arghya (water) to Sun and the donation as indicated be made to 6 women after performing the japa.

सवत्सानां गवां ऩन्च्च ऋतौ कस्िभ्म् प्रदाऩमेत ्॥ बौभे न्तं च कत्तषव्मं तदै व कथ्मते ध्रवभ ्॥ २८॥ savatsānāṁ gavāṁ pancca ṛtau stribhyaḥ pradāpayet || bhaume naktaṁ ca karttavyaṁ tadaiva kathyate dhṛuvam || 28 ||

(The native should) Donate 5 cows along with their calves, each, to 6 women. Also he should definitely fast in the day (i.e., eat only in the night) on Tuesdays.

बौभमंिंतऩाश्वे च धायमेद्पवधधना सह॥ एन द्दानोऩचाये ण प्राप्मते संतततध्रवभ ्॥ २९॥ bhaumayaṁtraṁtupārśve ca dhārayedvidhinā saha || ena ddānopacāreṇa prāpyate saṁtatidhruvam || 29 ||

The native should wear a yantra of Mars in the hand above the elbow (below the armpit) after following the (purification) procedures. By performing (the above said) danas and remedial measures, he will definitely have children.

भत ृ वत्सत्वदोषर्घ्नं धचयं जीवी सफारक्॥ तस्भा द्दानंप्रकतषव्मं ऩज ू ामंिं च तत्त्वत्॥ ३०॥ mṛtavatsatvadoṣaghnaṁ ciraṁjīvī subālakaḥ || tasmā ddānaṁprakartavyaṁ pūjāyaṁtraṁ ca tattvataḥ || 30 ||

By performing the danas, pujas and wearing yantras to the extent, the dosha (defect of having a child who does not live long) gets cancelled and the native will have beautiful children who are long lived.

श्रत्वा त्वनसवं कामं त्रफरंफं नैव कायमेत ्॥ कपवनाच कृत् प्रस्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ ३१॥ śrutvā tvanusavaṁ kāryaṁ bilaṁbaṁ naiva kārayet || kavināca kṛtaḥ prasno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 31 ||

After hearing, the remedial measures should be performed without delay. Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

॥ इतत पवबव मोगपरभ ्॥ || iti vibhava yogaphalam ||

End of Vibhava yoga phalam.

॥ अथ सौम्ममोग परभ ्॥ || atha saumyayoga phalam ||

Result of Saumya yoga.

रग्ने षष्टाष्टभे चन्द्र् िूयम्तोथ वीक्षऺत्॥

िूयऺेिच े जीवऻौ सोम्मा् केंद्र त्रिकोणभा्॥ ३२॥ lagne ṣaṣṭāṣṭame candraḥ krūrayuktotha vīkṣitaḥ || krūrakṣetreca jīvajñau soumyāḥ keṁdra trikoṇamāḥ || 32 ||

Saumya yoga is formed when Moon is in the Lagna, 6th or 8th house, is conjunct or aspected by malefics, Jupiter is placed in a rasi owned by malefics and benefic planets are in Kendras or Trikonas.

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: The text appears to talk of Jupiter and Mercury in the house of malefic, but apparently it is a misprint since then it goes on to talk of benefics in plural. With Jupiter, Moon and Mercury already accounted for the only benefic left out is Venus. So there is some misprint and thus the translation as above seems to be right. However the yoga being named after Mercury (one of whose names is Saumya) one could also consider Mercury occupying malefic owned house and conjunct Jupiter being the condition.

सौम्ममोगे कृत् ऩव ू े भातरान्माश्च संगभ्॥ तेन ऩाऩानसाये ण श्रकष्टी प्रजामते॥ ३३॥ saumyayoge kṛtaḥ pūrve mātulānyāśca saṁgamaḥ || tena pāpānusāreṇa śuklakuṣṭī prajāyate || 33 ||

Saumya yoga is formed because in the past life, the person had sexual union with maternal uncle‟s wife. As the result of that misdeed, he will suffer from white leprosy in the present life.

न्तांधो दीघषयोगी वा शकहीन श्च जामते॥ अल्ऩदाता बवेत्िोधी ऩिस्िीमभिद्खद्॥ ३४॥ naktāṁdho dīrgharogī vā shukahīna śca jāyate || alpadātā bhavetkrodhī putrastrīmitraduḥkhadaḥ || 34 ||

The person will also have night blindness, will suffer from long lasting diseases and will be unhappy. He will not make any donations and will have an angry temperament. He will be the cause of grief for his wife, children and friends.

In the center of that (mandala) draw a figure of female with sandalwood akshataas (rice mixed with of sandalwood). Subsequently, perform japa of 9 lettered (Navakshara) Rudra mantra in front of that yantra.

ऩंचसाहस्रभानेन ऩव ू ो्तपवधधना सह॥ हाटकं च ततोप्मष्टषट्कं तायं च शोबनभ ्॥ ३७॥ paṁcasāhasramānena pūrvoktavidhinā saha || hāṭakaṁ ca tatoapyaṣṭaṣaṭkaṁ tāraṁ ca śobhanam || 37 ||

The japa should be performed 5000 times as per the method stated earlier. Later donate 48 (8 x 6) gold coins on a day of auspicious star (nakshatra).

भाषा्तं च गडं तैरग ं ाश्च वष ृ बसंमता्॥ एतद्दानं प्रकत्तषव्मं जऩ् कामो न संशम्॥ ३८॥ māṣāktaṁ ca guḍaṁ tailaṁgāśca vṛṣabhasaṁyutāḥ || etaddānaṁ prakarttavyaṁ japaḥ kāryo na saṁśayaḥ || 38 ||

Later donate blackgram, jaggery, oil along with a bull. These donations (danas) and japas should be performed without any doubts.

ततस्त श्रीपरं बव्मं भामाभंिण े भंिमेत ्॥ ऋतौत्रिवायं दातव्मं बोजनं ऩामसं घत ृ भ ्॥ ३९॥ tatastu śrīphalaṁ bhavyaṁ māyāmaṁtreṇa maṁtrayet || ṛtautrivāraṁ dātavyaṁ bhojanaṁ pāyasaṁ ghṛtam || 39 ||

Next purify a good coconut with „maya‟ mantra. Donate food to two women thrice (2 x 3) along with ghee and payasam (rice boiled with milk and sugar).

एतद्दनोऩचाये ण ऩिो बवतत नान्मथा॥ धचयं जीवी बवेत्सन ू दाषनकभष प्रसादत्॥ ४०॥ etaddanopacāreṇa putro bhavati nānyathā || ciraṁjīvī bhavetsūnu rdānakarma prasādataḥ || 40 ||

By performing the danas, the person will definitely get a son who is a chiranjeevi (long lived), there is no other way he shall get a son.

Sukra asked,

केन ऩण्मेन हे तोवाष योगहीन् प्रजामते॥ kena puṇyena hetorvā rogahīnaḥ prajāyate ||

“What sacred deeds should be performed so that the native will become free of diseases?”

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

ऩव ू ो्तऩण्मं कृत्वा त कृष्णकंफर संमतभ ्॥ ४१॥ pūrvoktapuṇyaṁ kṛtvā tu kṛṣṇakaṁbala saṁyutam || 41 ||

(The native should) perform all the earlier said religious measures and take a black woollen blanket,

चत्वारयंशत्ऩरं रोहऩाि तैरेन संबत ृ भ ्॥ भहा एकाद्धषषट्कं च सद्पवप्राम त दाऩमेत ्॥ ४२॥ catvāriṁśatpalaṁ lohapātra tailena saṁbhṛtam || mahā ekārddhaṣaṭkaṁ ca sadviprāya tu dāpayet || 42 ||

also take an iron vessel weighing 40 palas filled with oil, and donate them along with 3 (half of 6) cows to a good brahman.

भत्ृ मंजमं भहा भंिं पवधधना सह रेखमेत ्॥ धायतमत्वात शीषेवक ै ायमे द्द्पवजऩज ू नभ ्॥ ४३॥ mṛtyuṁjayaṁ mahā maṁtraṁ vidhinā saha lekhayet || dhārayitvātu śīrṣevaikāraye ddvijapūjanam || 43 ||

write „Mrityunjaya maha mantra‟ as per the procedure and wear it in the head after worshipping Brahmins.

Sanskrit Editor’s comment: I think the word “शीषेवक ै ायमेत”् is a misprint and should

be“शीषैवख ै ायमेत”् (śīrṣaivaikhārayet) and thus the meaning would be, one should should write the mrityunjaya mantra, hold it on one‟s head and recite it loudly after worshipping a Brahmin.

सोभवायै कब्तं च कत्तषव्मं च पवशेषत्॥ तत्तद्दनोऩचाये ण योगहीन् प्रजामते॥ ४४॥ somavāraikabhaktaṁ ca karttavyaṁ ca viśeaṣataḥ || tattaddanopacāreṇa rogahīnaḥ prajāyate || 44 ||

especially, eating food only once on Mondays is worth doing. By performing (the above said) the danas and remedial measures, the native will be free from ailments.

बौभेन्तंच कत्तषव्मं ऩिाथे पवधधसंमतभ ्॥ कपवनाच कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ ना ऩरयबपषत्॥ ४५॥ bhaumenaktaṁca karttavyaṁ putrārthe vidhisaṁyutam || kavināca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛgunā paribhaṣitaḥ || 45 ||

If one desires a son, he has to eat only in the nights (i.e, fast in the morning) after seeing the stars on Tuesdays. Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

इतत सौम्म मोगपरभ ्॥ iti saumya yogaphalam ||

End of saumya yoga result.

मातधान्ममोगपरभ ्॥ yātu dhānyayogaphalam ||

Result of Yatudhanya Yoga.

Yatu-Dhanya yoga is formed when 9th house, 6th and 10th houses have malefics, or 8th house, 4th house have malefics and malefics have afflicted the 5th house.

मात धान्मे सदा दोष् ऩव ू ं गोिवध् कृत्॥ तेन ऩाऩानसाये ण सतहीन् प्रजामते॥ ४७॥ yātu dhānye sadā doṣaḥ pūrvaṁ gotravadhaḥ kṛtaḥ || tena pāpānusāreṇa sutahīnaḥ prajāyate || 47 ||

The native, in his past life was an evil spirit, always committing sins and poisoned the food of his clansmen (or people of his own lineage) causing their death. Because of this sin, in the present life he will not have sons,

अथवा जामथे कष्टी याजयोगी तथा बवेत ्॥ कृऩणो दष्टपवत्तश्च कृतर्घ्नो तनगण ष ् खर्॥ ४८॥ athavā jāyathe kuṣṭī rājarogī tathā bhavet || kṛpaṇo duṣṭavittaśca kṛtaghno nirguṇaḥ khalaḥ || 48 ||

or he will be born with leprosy or tuberculosis. He will be a miser, will earn money by evil means, and will be ungrateful, worthless and wicked.

गबोत्ऩत्तौ बवेत ् कष्टं स्िीमोऽपऩ ऩरुषस्म च॥ गबषस्रावो बवेत्तस्म जातोवापऩ न जीवतत॥ ४९॥ garbhotpattau bhavet kaṣṭaṁ strīyo'pi puruṣasya ca || garbhasrāvo bhavettasya jātovāpi na jīvati || 49 ||

(Because of this yoga) in both men and women there will be destruction of offspring. There will be abortions or even if the child is born, he will not survive.

ऩाऩात्भा दष्टकभाष च एतकच्चह्नमतो नय्॥ ब्रह्भ हत्माहद ऩाऩातनचकायासौ गोिहा॥ ५०॥ pāpātmā duṣṭakarmā ca etaccihnayuto naraḥ || brahma hatyādi pāpānicakārāsau gotrahā || 50 ||

The person will be a sinner, will do evil deeds and bear the mark. He will commit sins like Brahma hatya (killing a Brahmin), go to prison and will be responsible for extinction of his lineage.

Sanskrit Editor’s comment: I think the mark itself is being born with Leprosy or contracting Tuberculosis.

सयाभांसाशनोद्वेषी यौयवं नयकं ममौ॥ ऺेिे भत ृ ानां गोदानं कृतं तेन करोद्भव॥ ५१॥ surāmāṁsāśanodveṣī rauravaṁ narakaṁ yayau || kṣetre mṛtānāṁ godānaṁ kṛtaṁ tena kulodbhava || 51 ||

He will consume liquor, eat meat, will be a hater, and will go to raurava hell. By donating lands and cows, the native will get sons. Sanskrit Editor’s comment: The donations indicated seem to be land for crematorium(ऺेिे

भृतानां) and Cows. This is so as he is said to have killed the clansmen in previous his previous life.

आहदभध्मावसाने त सौख्मं सभद धचत्तता॥ ādimadhyāvasāne tu saukhyaṁ samada cittatā ||

The native will be in a continuous state of excitation, intoxication and passionate on account of consuming liquor. Also, he will be happy in the beginning, middle and later part of his life.

यीततं वा ताम्रऩािं वा चतदष शऩरोद्भवभ ्॥ ८७॥ rītiṁ vā tāmrapātraṁ vā caturdaśapalodbhavam || 87 ||

Take either Brass (peetal) or Copper plate of fourteen palas (a measurement of weight) weight.

कृत्वा तकस्भन्प्रकतषव्मं चन्दनान्नवभंडरभ ्॥ तऩकस्वरूऩं तन्भध्मे कृत्वा ऩज ू ां च कायमेत ्॥ ८८॥ kṛtvā tasminprakartavyaṁ candanānnavamaṁḍalam || tapasvirūpaṁ tanmadhye kṛtvā pūjāṁ ca kārayet || 88 ||

(in the above plate) draw fresh (new) nine circles (diagram) with sandal paste, draw an acetic‟s figure in the middle (of the 9 circles) and perform Puja.

ऊणाष ऩट्टं च वद्धेतऩटाद्वादश कायमेत ्॥ तस्मोऩरय सभासीनो रुद्रभंिं नवत्रिकभ ्॥ ८९॥ ūrṇā paṭṭaṁ ca varddhetapuṭādvādaśa kārayet || tasyopari samāsīno rudramaṁtraṁ navatrikam || 89 ||

Make a mat by folding a woollen cloth twelve times, sit on it and chant Rudra Mantra 27 times (9 x 3).

द्पवसहस्रं चये जप्मं तत् ऩण्मं सभाचये त ्॥ बद्रान्नहाटका् सप्त ततरान्नस्मापऩसप्तच॥ ९०॥ dvisahasraṁ carejapyaṁ tataḥ puṇyaṁ samācaret || bhadrānnahāṭakāḥ sapta tilānnasyāpisaptaca || 90 ||

The person should, after completing the (above said) Japa 2000 times, perform the same amount of religious ceremonies (punyam). He has to take seven gold plates of good rice grains and also rice cooked with seseme,

भहगोधभ ू भाषान्नतंडरं तैरसंमतभ ्॥ प्रस्थद्वमं प्रदातव्मं भद्रा अष्टोतयं शतभ ्॥ ९१॥ muhurgodhūma māṣānnataṁḍulaṁ tailasaṁyutam || prasthadvayaṁ pradātavyaṁ mudrā aṣṭotaraṁ śatam || 91 ||

(and along with the above) The person should often donate wheat, rice grains, rice cooked with blackgram along with oil equal to the weight of two prasthas (a measure of capacity: 1 prastha = 32 palas) along with 108 coins.

एतद्दानानसाये ण धचंताकष्टं पवनश्मतत॥ दानाबावे भहाकष्टं ऩिैयपऩ धनैयपऩ॥ ९२॥ etaddāanānusāreṇa ciṁtākaṣṭaṁ vinaśyati || dānābhāve mahākaṣṭaṁ putrairapi dhanairapi || 92 ||

In accordance to the sincerity with which the Danas (donations) are performed, the person‟s grieves, worries will perish. In the absence Danas (donations), he will face huge worries from children and also on account of finances.

कपवना च कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ ९३॥ kavinā ca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 93 ||

Thus, Bhrigu answered to Sukra‟s questions.

Vijaya yoga is formed when the 5th lord is in an enemy‟s rasi or is in 6th, 8th or 12th house, and if he is in conjunction with or is aspected by malefics.

ऩव ू ं सगबाष हरयणी भारयता भग ृ संमता॥ एतद्पवजममोगेन यक्षऺता हरयणी सता॥ ९५॥ pūrvaṁ sagarbhā hariṇī māritā mṛgasaṁyutā || etadvijayayogena rakṣitā hariṇī sutā || 95 ||

In the past, a pregnant deer was killed along with the male deer. However, because of vijaya yoga the baby deer was saved.

न बवंतत सतास्तस्म जाता जीवंतत नैवच॥ कन्माद्वमं िमं वापऩ जामते नाि संशम्॥ ९६॥ na bhavaṁti sutāstasya jātā jīvaṁti naīvaca || kanyādvayaṁ trayaṁ vāpi jāyate nātra saṁśayaḥ || 96 ||

The native with Vijaya yoga will definitely have either two or three female issues. Any more than that, they will not survive.

आदौ ऩिी तत् ऩिस्तत् ऩिी प्रजामते॥ शेषे गबे बवेत्तस्म गबषस्रावो न संशम्॥ ९७॥ ādau putrī tataḥ putrastataḥ putrī prajāyate ||

śeṣe garbhe bhavettasya garbhasrāvo na saṁśayaḥ || 97 ||

To the native, first a girl child followed by a boy child and then a girl child will be born. Without doubt for the rest (of the pregnancies) there will be miscarriages.

Bhrigu told,

यीततं वा ताम्रऩािंच ऩरं चैव चतदष शभ ्॥९८॥ rītiṁ vā tāmrapātraṁca palaṁ caiva caturdaśam || 98 ||

Take a brass or copper plate (vessel) weighing 14 palas.

In the middle (of the plate) draw an astadala Padma (8 petalled lotus) with sandalwood paste.

Later, perform Padmanabha beeja mantra japam.

द्वेसहस्र कृतामाभो बक्तश्रद्धा सभकन्वत्॥ ततो दानं च कत्तषव्मं षडवा षोडश हाटकभ ्॥ १००॥ dvesahasra kṛtāyāmo bhaktiśraddhā samanvitaḥ || tato dānaṁ ca karttavyaṁ ṣaḍvā ṣoḍaśa hāṭakam || 100 ||

(The above said japa) chant the mantra atleast two thousand times with faith and devotion. After completion, donate either six or sixteen gold coins.

prasthadvayaṁ pradātavyaṁ tāmrapātre ghṛtairbhṛtam || tato goosārakaṁ yaṁtraṁ kārayedvidhisaṁyutam || 103 ||

In a copper vessel take 2 prasthas (capacity equal to 32 palas) of ghee and donate it. Prepare a „gosaraka‟ yantra with proper ceremony.

स्िीकंठे धायमेकन्नत्मंब्तमात यपववासये ॥ एतद्दानोऩचाये ण धचयं ततष्ठतत संततत्॥ १०४॥ strīkaṁṭhe dhārayennityaṁbhaktayātu ravivāsare || etaddānoopacāreṇa ciraṁ tiṣṭhati saṁtatiḥ || 104 ||

The wife (of the native) should wear that yantra always in her neck starting from a Sunday onwards. By doing (the above said) the danas and remedies, the native will definitely have long lived children.

गबषकारे त कतषव्मं दानं पवप्राम मित्॥ दानाबावे बवेकच्चंता ऩिैयपऩ धनैयपऩ॥ १०५॥ garbhakāle tu kartavyaṁ dānaṁ viprāya yatrataḥ || dānābhāve bhavecciṁtā putrairapi dhanairapi || 105 ||

During the time of pregnancy, the native should keep giving danas (donations) to Brahmanas. By not giving the donations, he will face difficulties and worries on account of children and wealth (riches).

दानत् प्राप्मते ऩिो फपद्धभांश्च सभपृ द्धभान ्॥ dānataḥ prāpyate putro buddhimāṁśca samṛddhimān ||

By performing danas (donations), the native will get a son who is wise and prosperous.

Ananda yoga is formed when the 10th lord is conjunct with malefics and placed in rasis owned by malefics, or occupies 3rd or 6th or 12th houses.

ऩव ं ेिशतंकृत्वा गोशतं च सभपऩषतभ ्॥ ू ऺ तेनऩण्मप्रबावेण भहायाजो बपवष्मतत॥ १०८॥ pūrvaṁkṣetraśataṁkṛtvā goośataṁ ca samarpitam || tenapuṇyaprabhāveṇa mahārājo bhaviṣyati || 108 ||

On account of performing auspicious religious deeds and donating 100 farms and 100 cows in the past life, the native in the present life will be born as a Maharaja.

धीभानथोपवशाराऺो फहधान्मंमतोबवेत ्॥

गौयश्चचऩरोव्तादातादशॉछरोत्कट्॥ १०९॥ dhīmānathoviśālākṣo bahudhānyaṁyutobhavet || gauraścacapalovaktādātādarśīchalotkaṭaḥ || 109 ||

The native will be knowledgeable, wise, have large eyes and have plentiful grains. He will have reddish complexion and is fickle minded. He is a good orator, donor, visionary, and largely deceitful.

अकस्भात्तबवें त्िोधीऩन् शीघ्रोऩशांततभान ् ॥ ऩंचषष्ठाब्दतं सौख्मं याजभान्मोयणेजम्॥ ११०॥ akasmāttabhaveṁtkrodhīpunaḥ śīghropaśāṁtimān || paṁcaṣaṣṭhābdataṁ saukhyaṁ rājamānyoraṇejayaḥ || 110 ||

The native will get angry suddenly and quickly calms down. From 65th year of his life, he will get happiness and comforts and will be honoured by the king. He cannot be defeated (invincible) in the war.

धनंकीकत्तषबव ष ेत्तस्म फहबत्ृ माहदसंवत ृ ्॥ अष्टादशेतपवंशे वा भहाकीकत्तषधन ष ंतथा॥ १११॥ dhanaṁkīrttirbhavettasya bahubhṛtyādisaṁvṛtaḥ || aṣṭādaśetuviṁśe vā mahākīrttirdhanaṁtathā || 111 ||

The native will have wealth, fame and will be surrounded (accompanied) by many servants. At the age of 18 or 20 years, he will get great fame and wealth.

हदनेहदने भहासौख्मं वद्धषतेनािसंशम्॥ dinedine mahāsaukhyaṁ varddhatenātrasaṁśayaḥ ||

Without doubt, his comforts and happiness will increase day by day.

ऩव ं तीकरंकाद्वाफांरहत्माप्रबावत्॥ ११२॥ ू स pūrvaṁsatīkalaṁkādvābāṁlahatyāprabhāvataḥ || 112 ||

The native in the past life, because of defaming a female (by seducing her) or killing a child,

याज योगोबवेत्तस्म द्ख़ंसंतानतोध्रवभ ्॥

(the native in present life) will certainly get consumption (Tuberculosis), or grief from children.

शि् उवाच॥ śukr uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

क्रकं जाप्मं कस्म ऩज ू ा च क्रकं दानं च क्रकभौषधभ ्॥ ११३॥ kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 113 ||

What japas, pujas and danas should be done as remedies and what medicines should be taken (to overcome the above)?

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu told,

नवायभंडरस्माग्रेऩद्मनाब त्रिफीजकभ ्॥ द्पवसहस्रं जऩेजाप्मं तत् ऩण्मं सभचये त ्॥ ११४॥ navāramaṁḍalasyāgrepadmanābha tribījakam || dvisahasraṁ japejāpyaṁ tataḥ puṇyaṁ samacaret || 114 ||

On top of a navara (a high number) mandala, draw a Padmanabha tribeeja mantra. Chant the same mantra for 2000 times, and later perform religious ceremonies (punya) of equal number.

Editor‟s comment: Navara would mean one that is not enclosed. The very word mandala following negates this. I think there is some misprint in the text. The original word may be trivara, indicating three mandalas

सप्तपवंशतततायं च षडपवंशतत च हाटकभ ् ताम्रऩािं ऩरत्रिंशघत ृ ेनऩरयऩरू यतभ ्॥ ११५॥ saptaviṁshatitāraṁca ṣaḍviṁśati ca hāṭakam tāmrapātraṁ palatriṁśa ghṛtenaparipūritam || 115 ||

Later on the day of Revati nakshatra (27th star), donate 26 gold coins along with a copper vessel filled with 30 palas of ghee (to a Brahman).

ऩंचाशत्कयवस्िं च गांचसद्वत्स संमतभ ्॥ सप्तान्नंप्रस्थऩस्थं च पवप्रेदानंसभाचये त ्॥ ११६। paṁcāśatkaravastraṁ ca gāṁcasadvatsa saṁyutam || saptānnaṁprasthapasthaṁ ca vipredānaṁsamācaret || 116 |

To the Brahman also donate fifty karas (a particular measure of length equal to 24 thumbs) of cloth and a cow along with its calf. Also donate 7 cereals measuring a prastha (capacity equal to 32 palas).

त्रिऩयाये स्ततोभन्िैगोघत ृ ंभंिमेत्सधी्॥ ऋत्वंतेत्रिहदनंदद्मादाचामाषमसवणषकभ ्॥ ११७॥ tripurārestatomantrairgoghṛtaṁmaṁtrayetsudhīḥ || ṛtvaṁtetridinaṁdadyādācāryāyasuvarṇakam || 117 ||

Later let a pundit purify cow ghee with „Tripurari‟ mantra for three successive days. After the end of the japa, donate gold coins to 6 Acharyas continually for 3 days.

एतद्दानोऩचाये ण संतानंप्राप्मतेध्रवभ ्॥ etaddānopacāreṇa saṁtānaṁprāpyatedhruvam ||

By doing (the above said) the danas and remedies, the native will definitely have children.

संदयं त्रिऩयामंिं कांस्मऩािे च रेखमेत ्॥ ११८॥ suṁdaraṁtripurāyaṁtraṁ kāṁsyapātre ca lekhayet || 118 ||

Draw a beautiful „Tripura‟ yantra on a bronze plate.

तन्भंिंऺारमेब्दीजैजऩ ष ं कृत्वा पवशेषत्॥ एतद्दानोऩचाये ण योगहीनोबवेत्ऩभान ्॥ ११९॥ tanmaṁtraṁkṣālayebdījairjapaṁ kṛtvā viśeṣataḥ || etaddānopacāreṇa rogahīnobhavetpumān || 119 ||

Purify the yantra by cleansing it with beeja mantra japa. By performing (the same) the remedies and the danas, the native, will be free from diseases.

अधचये णैवकारेन ऩिराबाहदत् सखभ ्॥ दानाबावे भहाधचंता ऩिैयपऩ धनैयपऩ॥ १२०॥ acireṇaivakālena putralābhāditaḥ sukham || dānābhāve mahāciṁtā putrairapi dhanairapi || 120 ||

In a short duration, the native will begin to get happiness and children. By not giving the donations, he will face difficulties and worries on account of children and wealth (riches).

कपवना च कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ १२१॥ kavinā ca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 121 ||

Thus replied Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

Bhrighu Yogavali - Part 3 By: AVN Acharyulu

‘A Mission Saptarishis Initiative’ Translated by Sri. Agnihotram Venkata Narayacharyulu and Smt. Shakuntala Gowrishankar Sanskrit Editor: Sri Chandrashehkhar Sharma Special Thanks To: Upendra Angnihotram Sanskrit Additional Comments: Guru Rajesh Preface to 3rd Part What must be re-iterated is the base of any horoscope is yogas which determine the real power of a horoscope. The base of any yoga is the action committed in past life, this is mere lip service and so far astrologers have done nothing to understanding the basis of how each yoga is formed. Bhrighu Yogavali is one of those first manuscripts to give the past life karma behind each yoga, something our seniors could never get hold of. The most important part here is to understand the basis each yoga and this can be attempted by understanding the past life karma given by the Maharishi, this valuable part has been missing in yogas for thousands of years and hence we are unable to say the reason/karma behind a Mahabhagya yoga or a Gajakeshari yoga. Readers are requested to read the Damini Yoga results in the following pages. - SA

॥ अथ पऩंगर मोग परभ ्॥ || atha piṁgala yoga phalam ||

Result of Pingala yoga.

सौम्मा रग्ने धने कभे िूयाद्मन ू े सतेमदा॥ नीचोज्जेवाधनेरग्ने मोगोमं पऩंगरोबवेत ्॥ १२२॥ saumyā lagne dhane karme krūrādyūne suteyadā || nīcojjevādhanelagne yogoyaṁ piṁgalobhavet || 122||

Pingala yoga is formed when benefics occupy Lagna, 2nd, or 10th houses and when malefics occupy 7th house or 5th house, or are in their debilitation or exaltation rasis which happen to be either Lagna or 2nd house.

तऩस्वी तनंहदत्ऩव ू े साध्वीस्िी च करंक्रकता॥ ऩािेदानंतकृत्वावैऩश्चात्ताऩ् कृत् ऩया॥ १२३॥ tapasvī niṁditaḥpūrve sādhvīstrī ca kalaṁkitā || pātredānaṁtukṛtvāvaipaścāttāpaḥ kṛtaḥ purā || 123 ||

The native (of this yoga) had abused an ascetic and defamed a virtuous married lady (by seducing her) in his past life. However, later, repenting his actions, he made donations to worthy (capable) people in the sanctuary of a temple.

प्राप्मते च धनंधान्मंऺणेवपृ द्ध् ऺणेऺम्॥ फाल्मेचरबतेद्खंपऩत्ताधध्मं च जामते॥ १२४॥ prāpyate ca dhanaṁdhānyaṁkṣaṇevṛddhiḥ kṣaṇekṣayaḥ || bālyecalabhateduḥkhaṁpittādhikyaṁ ca jāyate || 124 ||

(on account of the above) the native in his present life will sometimes experience gain of wealth, grains and sometimes loss of the same. He will be born with bilious nature (pitta) and will be sad in his childhood.

तस्मद्खंसतात्स्िीत् प्रबवेन्नसखं्वधचत ्॥ tasyaduḥkhaṁsutātstrītaḥ prabhavennasukhaṁkvacit ||

Because of this yoga, the native will not be happy and will face sorrows on account of children and wife.

शि उवाच॥ śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

क्रकं जाप्मं कस्म ऩज ू ा च क्रकं दानं च क्रकभौषधभ ्॥ १२५॥ kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 125 ||

“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

शनेस्िीणणमशखे्ऩंचसहस्रं जऩभाचये त ्॥ यीततऩािंऩरंत्रिंशच्चंदनैनव ष भंडरभ ्॥ १२६॥ śanestrīṇiśikheḥpaṁcasahasraṁ japamācaret || Bpātraṁpalaṁtriṁśaccaṁdanairnavamaṁḍalam || 126 ||

(The native should) perform japa to Saturn 3000 times and Ketu 5000 times each. Take a brass vessel weighing 30 palas (a particular weight equal to 4 Karsas) and draw nine circles (nava mandala) in the center with sandalwood paste,

ऊणाषऩट्टं हरयद्वणे चतपवंशत्ऩटीकृतभ ्॥ तस्मोऩरयसभासीन्ऩव ू ो्तंजऩभाचये त ्॥ १२७॥ ūrṇāpaṭṭaṁharidvarṇe caturviṁśatpuṭīkṛtam || tasyoparisamāsīnaḥpūrvoktaṁjapamācaret || 127 ||

fold a yellow coloured woollen cloth 24 times sit on it and perform the above said japa (in front of that mandala).

जऩांतेचकृतंऩण्मंषट्कद्वादशहाटकभ ्॥ यजतंद्पवगणंदेमंशय्माबव्मापवधचत्रिता॥ १२८॥ japāṁtecakṛtaṁpuṇyaṁṣaṭkadvādaśahāṭakam || rajataṁdviguṇaṁdeyaṁśayyābhavyāvicitritā || 128 ||

After completion of the japas, donate 72 (12 x 6) gold coins and double quantity of silver coins along with a magnificently variegated cot (bed).

सप्तान्नंप्रस्थप्रस्थं च वस्िंहस्तांश्चतदष श॥ ऩंचयत्नसभाम्तंदद्माच्चैवनसंशम्॥ १२९॥ saptānnaṁprasthaprasthaṁ ca vastraṁhastāṁścaturdaśa || paṁcaratnasamāyuktaṁdadyāccaivanasaṁśayaḥ || 129 ||

Also donate 7 cereals measuring a prastha (capacity equal to 32 palas), cloth measuring 14 hasthas (1 hastha equals 24 angulas – about 18 inches) and 5 gems without doubt.

एतद्दानंप्रकत्तषव्मंमदहष्श्रम ू तेध्रवभ ्॥ एतद्दानप्रबावेणसवषमसपद्धनषसंशम्॥ १३०॥ etaddānaṁprakarttavyaṁyadarhaḥśrūyatedhruvam || etaddānaprabhāveṇasarvasiddhirnasaṁśayaḥ || 130 ||

The above donations should be given to a worthy (deserving) recipient after listening about them. By doing so, the native‟s desires will certainly be fulfilled.

त्रिजन्भतनभहाद्खंदानाबावेऩन्ऩन्॥ जऩाबावेभहत्कष्टं प्राणैयपऩधनैयपऩ॥ १३१॥ trijanmanimahāduḥkhaṁdānābhāvepunaḥpunaḥ || japābhāvemahatkaṣṭaṁprāṇairapidhanairapi || 131 ||

The native in the next 3 births, will face great sorrows by not performing the (above said) danas again and again. By not performing the (above said) japas, he will face worries on account of health and finances.

कपवना च कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ १३२॥ kavinā ca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 132 ||

Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

इततपऩंगरमोगपरभ ्॥ itipiṁgalayogaphalam ||

End of Pingala yoga phalam.

॥ अथ पवपर मोग परभ ्॥ || atha viphala yoga phalam ||

Result of Viphala[1] yoga.

सतऩेशिऺेिे च दष्टे िूये ऽथवापऩच॥ शिऺेिम े दाजीव्संतततमम्रषमतेध्रवभ ्॥ १३३॥ sutapeśatrukṣetre ca duṣṭekrūre'thavāpica || śatrukṣetreyadājīvaḥsaṁtatirmriyatedhruvam || 133 ||

If 5th lord is a malefic or is placed in a rasi owned by a malefic or in a malefic house, and Jupiter is placed in rasis owned by malefics, the children of that native will definitely die[2],

इत्मेवंपवपरोमोगोबवत्मेवनसंशम्॥ स्थाप्माहयणमोगेनब्राह्भणस्म च ऩव ष ्॥ १३४॥ ू त ityevaṁviphaloyogobhavatyevanasaṁśayaḥ ||

sthāpyāharaṇayogenabrāhmaṇasya ca pūrvataḥ || 134 ||

this (the above said) happens to be called Viphala yoga. It is formed because the native in his past life, stole a deposit made by a Brahmin.

तेनऩाऩेनवैऩिसंतानोऩहतोबवेत ्॥ tenapāpenavaiputrasaṁtānopahatobhavet ||

On account of this yoga, the native (in the present life) will not have children and even if he has children, they will be slain.

शि उवाच॥ śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

क्रकं जाप्मं कस्म ऩज ू ा च क्रकं दानं च क्रकभौषधभ ्॥ १३५॥ kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 135 ||

“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

यीततऩािेनऩिकायमेन्नवभंडरभ ्॥ पवप्रभतू तषचतन्भध्मेकायमेच्चंदनेनच॥ १३६॥ rītipātrenaputrakārayennavamaṁḍalam || vipramūrticatanmadhyekārayeccaṁdanenaca || 136 ||

My son, take a brass vessel and draw a nava (new) mandala in the center. In the middle of the mandala, draw a figure of a Brahmin with sandalwood paste. Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: May be in the 1st line, „यीततऩािेन‟ should be „यीतीऩािेनवे‟ (“nave” in place of “na”). In astrology „Putra‟ also means 5, and hence “nave putra” could also mean 59, perhaps weight of the brass vessel.

Later deposit 569 gold coins and double quantity of silver coins to be donated along with 14 pearls.[3] Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: I think there is misprint in the first line, maybe it should be“तत्स्थाऩतनकादे मानषट् ऩंचहाटकभ ्॥” meaning 6 x 5 = 30 gold coins instead of 569 gold coins.

The native should also donate a cow along with its calf with faith. Later he should wear a „Padmanabha‟ yantra on the hand above the elbow (below the shoulder). Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: “Parshva” also means the waist, so this could mean one should tie the yantra around the waist

“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

बग ृ रुवाच॥ bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

ताम्रऩािंऩंचऩरंतन्भध्मे ऩंचभंडरभ ्॥ चंदनेनचकत्तषव्मंकायमेद्वष ृ बाकृततभ ्॥ १९७॥ tāmrapātraṁpaṁcapalaṁtanmadhye paṁcamaṁḍalam || caṁdanenacakarttavyaṁkārayedvṛṣabhākṛtim || 197 ||

Take a copper plate (vessel) weighing 5 palas and draw five circles diagram in the middle. (In that diagram) draw a figure of a bull with sandalwood paste.

तदग्रेकायमेज्जाप्मंरुद्रभंिंत्रिमंफकभ ्॥ सहस्रऩंचकंकामंतत्ऩण्मंसभाचये त ्॥ १९८॥ tadagrekārayejjāpyaṁrudramaṁtraṁtriyaṁbakam || sahasrapaṁcakaṁkāryaṁtataḥpuṇyaṁsamācaret || 198 ||

Later perform „Triyambaka‟ rudra mantra japa 5000 times and perform the same amount of religious ceremonies (punyam).

चतपवंशततषट्कंचहाटकंगांवष ृ ंतथा॥ एतद्दानप्रबावेणशर ू मोगऺमोबवेत ्॥ १९९॥ caturviṁśatiṣaṭkaṁcahāṭakaṁgāṁvṛṣaṁtathā || etaddānaprabhāveṇaśūlayogakṣayobhavet || 199 ||

Also donate 144 (24 x 6) gold coins, a cow and a bull. By performing the above said danas, the effect of Shula yoga is reduced.

मदानकरुतेदानंतदाचऩंचजन्भस॥ भहाधचंताबवेत्तस्मऩिैयपऩधनैयपऩ॥ २००॥ yadānakurutedānaṁtadācapaṁcajanmasu || mahāciṁtābhavettasyaputrairapidhanairapi || 200 ||

By not performing the above said danas, the native in the next 5 lives will face great troubles on account of finances and children.

कपवना च कृत् प्रश्नो बग ृ णा ऩरयबापषत्॥ २०१॥ kavinā ca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 201 ||

Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra‟s question.

इतत शर ू मोग परभ ्॥ iti śūlayoga phalam ||

End of Shula yoga phalam.

[1] Viphala means fruitless. Which may also means bereft of children who are considered to be the fruit of married life. – Guru Rajesh (GR) [2] The meaning of Satru Kshetra is position in an inimical sign. Thus the above sloka means that the 5 th lord

should be placed in an inimical sign, or in a malefic sign or in a malefic house and at the same time Jupiter should occupy his inimical signs, which means the signs of Venus and Mercury. - GR

[3] What is important to note here is that for the first time we find remedial measures for each yoga, the karma

done in the past life to beget it in this life. Readers will observe the intricate manner of remedial measure and the number of remedial measure given, something you would not find even Parampara (tradional) Jyotish Gurus prescribing today. It is important to realize what we do not know, then humility and subsequently further learning sets in. - SA

[4] ‘Ritvamte Strisu datavyam’ here has a different meaning. Ritu is the period when the egg will be released in the women which is considered as the period fit for coitus by the dharmasastras. Hence giving the Sri Phalam (here translated as coconut…may also mean the fruit of bilva tree) in this period will ensure successful fertilization and pregnancy. According to the mantrasastras maya mantram is ‘Hreem’.- GR [5] A lesser known fact among jyotish scholars is which are those yogas, if unhealed slowly destroy the

effectiveness of even some good yogas present in the chart. The base of every horoscope is Yogas and not Dasas, most authors unearth 100s of dasas but if you ask them to quote the names of 50 yogas they can’t whereas it is said that there are more than 100,000 yogas (a maharashtrian astrologer had written a book on it) . The need of the hour is for Jyotish organizations & publications to invest in projects to unearth rare materials on Yogas, something no Jyotish institution has done in the last 100 years inspite of hefty amounts of donation. A one million dollar donation in USA to a Jyotish organization has produced not even a single material/book of our ancient Jyotish literature, lakhs of Rupees of donation to a famous jyotish magazine from north of india has resulted in not even a single material of jyotish literature coming out for the common astrologer. If organizations do not understand their role in shaping astrological thinking then jyotish is doomed and will deteriorate, as it has happened in India in the last 25 years where astrology is taught in classroom culture with no emphasis for classical reading, the only emphasis is the notes of the classes. Instead of astrology being a karma oriented shastra it has now become ‘will I win the election’ shastra at the hands of astrologers who are hungry for media fame. An astrologer was more respected 25 years back than now, self promoting heads of jyotish organizations are the culprits of this decay in astrology.- SA

[6] Here also the sloka means that the medicine should be given to the women after her ritu snanam.- GR [7] ‘Sukhamadhyepyudaasati’ means the native though placed amongst many comforts will be moody and melancholic.GR [8] Read verse 159 and understand the result of karma of treachery against a friend, the Maharishi says such a

one will become bereft of wealth, will face worries on account of children, this gives us some clue as to how karma is being operated upon. Now see verse 158, 157 and see why 4L in bad houses or with a malefic the Maharishi is saying treachery against a friend, the reason is since 4H is close friends and not 11H as taught all over India and in foreign jyotish courses. We have 2 years back in our editorials mentioned with the Parasara shloka (chapter 11/12 Verse 4) that Parasara talks about 4H as friend and so does Chandra Kala Nadi/Deva Kerelam yet this has been ignored by most Jyotishis including Jyotish Gurus. 11H is ones network of contacts whereas close friends are always close to ones heart (4H) as ones mother (4H) is naturally close to ones heart. There is difference between philosophical heart and physical heart as an organ. That’s the reason some take 5H as the physical organ and 4h as the spiritual heart center as Mother is close to ones heart always and Mother (4H) cannot be in the 12th of losses from ones heart. Another way to look at is one uses sweet talk/PR to deal with ones contacts (11H) for ones gains (11H) whereas with ones mother (4H) and close friends (4H) one is always direct and there is no PR involved.- SA [9] These two slokas 165 & 166 seem to be referring to some code words. ‘Ramam cha lakshmanam Naagam

godugdhena samanvitam’ when translated literally mean take Rama and lakshmana and naaga along with cow’s milk. This may be a code word for any ayurvedic preparation - GR [10] ‘Gajayoge bhavet putro’ means the native with gajayoga will have a son respected by king and powerful. The native will also be respected, having angry disposition, long life and many sons. - GR [11] ‘Turyaste bhe subhaasubhaah’ means both malefics and benefics should occupy the 4th and 7th houses, besides Moon with a malefic in the ascendant. There is no mention of Venus here. - GR [12] Here ‘Saumya Kshetre’ may also mean any benefic sign - GR [13] ‘Guru Yogaat sukham bhavet’ may also indicate that because of the presence of Jupiter in the 9 th house, the remedial measures will give fruit and he will be happy. - GR [14] ‘Neecha satru gruhe guruh’ means Jupiter occupying either debilitation sign or inimical signs. - GR [15] ‘Chidra’ actually means the 8th house. It is not 6th house. - GR
