14 Kerala Sutras

In the book entitled Jataka Yogavali, the learned author, advocated that the stay  of a planet in-between a lord of a quadrant and lord of a trine, is good. In the preceding sloka, the author says that the stay of lord of  Asdt in between lords of  9th and 10th confers Aprayatna Aprayatna Dhana Labha, Labha, gains for which little effort is needed.

Vyaya Bhava 12th House If Moon and Mars ae together in rgw 12th house, expenses of the native will be in the right directions. Malefics in 12th denote wasteful expenses and losses.

The difference in the strength of lord of 11th of  11th and lord of 12th of  12th should be considered in particular while making predictions concerning the labha and vyaya bhavas. The channels in which expenses are incurred by natives depend on planets posited in the 12th, on the following lines :Moon in 12th denotes expenses on enjoyments Venus ............................. ......................................... ............ woman Sun and/or Mars ......................... ......................... King/Govt Mercury .............................. ...................................... ........ business Jupiter ........................... ......................................... .............. religion/charity Saturn....................... Saturn................................... ................... ....... gambling Rahu ............................. ............................................ ............... losses by theft Ketu ............................................. expenses on poison If the planets posited in the 12th and lord thereof are benefic, the native will go to heaven after death; if malefic, to hell. If the lord of 12th of  12th is in exaltation, moola-trikona, own house or in friendly house aspected by the lord of  Asdt the native stands to enjoy in many ways, including good looking girls, costly food, clothes, wealth, own house, own conveyances, high status and expenses on charity. If  lord of 9th of  9th or Jupiter  or Jupiter aspects aspects the lord of  12th, the expenses will be more on charity and public good. Malefic aspects on lord of  12th indicate expenses in the wrong directions and losses on gambling, losses by theft etc. Predictions concerning each of the 12 houses in a horoscope have to be made with references to the 12 houses counted from the house under consideration; in other words, if the 2nd house is being looked at, consideration should be given to the 12 houses reckoned from the 2nd; and likewise for all the other houses as well. Thus, there are actually 144 houses in a horoscope, @ 12 per bhava.

About the Author and Source As usual, Kerala the state from Sage Parasara hailed has contributed one more great soul in KKN. The translator after B Suryanaraha Rao, has been a great exponent and devotee of Swami Sivananda. He donated the books to Sivananda ashram. Mr NN Krishna Rao, though from Kerala, studied in Warangal and added the suffix Rao along with. VB Choudry had translated a few of his works. His Brihat Parasara Hora was the 1st work  done in English in 1959. R Santhanam did meet his son U K Iyer in 1984 and started his works which are now the benchmark in some of the titles. U K Iyer had published some of the books from time to time like his sister late Uma but as the only surviving member of the family and a good software programmer as well, has been generous enough to publish these works on the net for the benefit of all Jyotish lovers. The language used in these texts is very modern and apt for the time and has made the "desha, kala, paristhiti" rule well a lot better than later work of sri R Santhanam. A cursory reading will surely keep you using it for future readings.
