Malta Rishi Pamslwra further states; "/alllbu-dw!!!!pa is in the centre of all these: and in the centre of this continent the golden mountain Mau . The height ot Mt'1"1I is eighty-four thousand yojans; and its depth below the surf1 house, in Sagittarius in the 12'" house, In the 4'h house in Scorpio, in the 7th house in Capricon and in Aquarius in the 8'h house causes no doshll. (d) Saturn placed in Mangnl Dos/la houses effectively counters the dos/Ia. The houses are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12'h. (e) A debilitated, combust or retrograde Mars causes no dos/w. (f) A strong Jupiter or Venus in the 1"t or 71h houses nullifies the dosha. (g) Mars in conjunction with Jupiter or Moon loses its Venom. (h) Rahu and Mars conjunct in a Kendra nullify this Doslla. (i) In the horoscope of a Girl placement of Laglln Lord in the 71h house or Rasllish in the 7th house from Moon lends stability in Married life, subduing the effects of M,lng,l\ Dosha . (j) In Ashtakoot matching 30 points or more permit one to ignore this dosha. (k) Mars placed in his own signs - Scorpio ilOd Aries 1 Century, the method remains the same with a slight modifica tion that the last two digits are to be considered with il base of 100 i. e. we take year 2000 as 100. Therefore, the

la st digits for 2007 shall be 107 as 'A'. Let us work out Ihe Vaa r • for 1>' January 2007. Step 1:

Here 'A' shall be 107 since the base year 2000 is 100.

Slep 2:

Divide this number by 4 and find out the quotient. When we divide 107 by 4, the quotient is 26. We sha ll ca ll this as 'B'.

Step 3:

Add' A' and 'B'. in the given exa mple it would be 107+26 = 133. We shall call this as 'C.

Step 4:

Add the calendar date to 'C. In the given example, the date is 1st . Therefore the new total shall be 133 + 1 = 134. We shall ca ll it'D'.

Step 5:

Add the value for the month January as ascribed in the table above for the non -leap year to 'D'. As we havt' already seen, this is 1. 1 + '0' =1 + 134 =135. We shall call it 'E'.

Step 6:

Divide 'E' by 7. The remainder is 2. Therefore, Monday is the day or the Vaar on 1st January 2oo?

Sri Bhairava Jha gives an interesting method to approximately find out the Nakshatra in case the Hindu month and the Titlli is known. This is overvvhelmingly simple. According to this theory, the counting shall be done from Kartika. Therefore, Kritiko. Margshirsha, Pushya, Maglla, Phalgllni, Chaitra, Vaishaklta, ]yes/llll , Asilada, Shravalla, Bhadra Pada and Ashwina shall be addressed as 1.2,3.4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 respectively. We have to find out the distance of the Hindu month from Kritika. The next set of information required would be about the Tillti. We consider Krishna Paksha Pratipada as1. Thus Amavasya and Prmtiml1 would be 15 and 30 respectively. Let us work out the Nakshatra for 22,,,1 October 2007 i.e. AshwillQShukla Pratipada. Ashwina is 11 mtmths nway from Kritika. Multiply this with 2. The result is 22. Now add the number of Tit1ri to this value. The Tithi is Shukla Ekadll:;/li i.e. 26. Therefore the result is 22 + 26 = 48. Reduce th(' multipk's of 27 from this va lue. The remainder shall give the numbt.'r (If Nnksha tm elapsed. He re, when we subtra ct 27 from 4H, tht.'
