There are some variations in the ancient texts. From Its
natal position the Moon is said to be favourable in 9, not in
6. From Guru he is said by Parasara to be favourable in 2,
not in 12; Varaharnihira gives 12, not 2. We follow the
author in casting the Moon ashtakavarga.

Notes
The ashtaka varga for Lagna is given by Parasara. This
was ignored by all subsequent writers. The previous
ashtaka vargas give a total of 337 points. When the points
of Lagna are added the total comes to 386 ,points. Most
of the places from Lagna are

Notes
The standard works do not give the ashtaka varga for
Rahu. Sambhu ffora Prakasa gives this. From the Moon 5 is
given instead of 4; and from Kuja 7 is added. This gives 44
points. There are no ashtaka varga points from Rahu himself. This implies that the ashtaka varga of Rahu is useful
only for purpose of Gochara. Our example chart gives the
following figures.

Sun with 8 Rekhas brings wealth through the ruler. 7
Rekhas - splendour, happiness, and prosperity. 6 Rekhas
- Increase in power and courage. 5 Rekhas - gain of money.
4 Rekhas - mixed good and bad results. 3 Rekhas - obstacles, opposition. 1 Rekha - fear from ill health. No Rekha
- death.
Regarding death we have to determine from the natal
chart whether the native has short, medium or long life. If
he has medium or long life, the years of death given may
refer to the father only.
Jataka Par/jata (10.14) supports the author.

In the ashtaka vargas of the Sun and the Moon note the
sign in which there is no Rekha. When the Sun and the
Moon transit that sign, then no good or auspicious work
should be done. Here the Sun's transit In that sign of his
ashtaka varga, and the Moon's transit in that sign of the
Moon's ashtaka varga are to be considered.
When the Moon is in lagna with one, two, or three
Rekhas, then the native suffers from T.B. and iaziness. If
, such a Moon is with two or three planets, then 37 th year can
,be fatal. When the waning Moon is in debilitation or in an
, enemy's house and obtains two or three Rekhas being
posited in 1,4,7,10,5,9 or 11, he ruins the results of the
house he occupies.
When the Sun and Moon transit a sign in which there are
no Bekhas, any activity related to marriage, auspicious
function or practical affairs should not be undertaken. If
one undertakes such a work, it will fail. The same view
appears in Jataka l'arijata (9.16-17).
The Moon has only friends and neutrals. The Moon has
no enemies. Temporary enemies can exist when the natural
neutrals are related to the temporary enemies. According to
.yavanesvara the Moon's enemies are the Sun, Mars, Venus
and Saturn. We supported particularly W,l,Vtlnference to
Mars since the Moon is debilitated Ina sign owned by Mars.
Jatakadesa Marga states that when the, S"m.9r Moon
transit in the signs where they have no Rekhas in the
80
ASlfTAKA VARGA
ashtaka vargas, one should not stay with such a person nor
should he first see such a person in the morning (9.17).
The reverse is the case with the transit signs havfng full
Rekhas.

In the Moon's ashtaka varga add the Rekhas from lagna
to the natal Moon. In that year the native has wealth, chil-
dren and the like. Add the Rekhas from the Moon to lagna.
In that year one has financial and other gains. Add these
two figures. In that year one has wealth and happiness from
children.

In our example chart the tlrst gives 12, the second 45,
and the two total 57. In 1918 there were auspicious festlvlties, and in 1990 there was the acquisition of a huge house.
In the same way we should count the Rekhas of Guru;
Shukra and benefic Budha also to get the years of happiness, wealth and children.

If Mars with eight Rekhas is in the tenth house, the
native owns some land. If he is in lagna wtth eight Rekhas,
the native becomes something like a zarnindar, If he is born
in a royal family, he becomes the ruler.
When Mars is in Mesha, Vrlschika or Makara and has
eight Bekhas. and if this is the lagna or the tenth house, the
native becomes an emperor.
.
Notes
Jatakadesa Marga gives additional Infonnation. When
Mars transits a sign in which he has eight or maximum
Rekhas, then the native gains lands, wealth.gold and the
like. He performs auspicious functions. He is in the good
looks of the gods and rulers. The direction indicated by that
sign gives him progress in land and victory over foes in that
direction. The opposite results will appear if there are no or
few Rekhas.

In our example chart the Bindus from Mars to Lagna are
24. Multiplying by 7 and dividing by 27 we get 6 as the
product and 6 as the remainder. Nothing happened in that
year. Adding the product and the remainder we have
twelve. Nothing took place then. The sixth nakshatra is
Ardra. Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or the Sun transiting this
nakshatara may be said to be harmful.
The three groups of Rekhas give 14,12 and 13. After she
completed 14 years she got married. Nothing happened
when she completed 26 years or 39 years. The results of
the transit of planets like Mars appear to be merely specu-
lative. The total Bindus of Mars being 39, does every one
have trouble in his 39 th year?

Count from Lagna the Rekhas upto the sign occupied by
a benefic in the ashtaka varga of benefic planets. In the
corresponding year if there is operating the major period of
a malefic planet, then there are bad results. But if the major

be highly fortunate and auspicious.

There are natural benefics like Guru Shukra, and Budha

of the light half of the lunar month to the seventh day of the

If Budha with eight Rekhas is in 1,4,7,10, 5 or 9 he gives

his exaltation sign, he develops or shows progress in the
factors indicated by that house. He does not harm that

Jatakadesa Marga (9.29) states: When Guru transits the
sign in which he has the largest number of Rekhas in his
own ashtaka varga, any Japa or tapas, prayers, initiation,
keeping the sacred fires, performance of rituals or sacrifices, study of Vedas, feeding guests and Brahmanas, attempt to have children and to amass wealth-all these will
prove effective. If these are undertaken when Guru transits
the sign having the least number of Rekhas, the above
mentioned activities will prove uneffective.

Note the Sign in Shani's ashtaka varga where there is no
Rekha. When Shani transits that sign, the native dies soon.
But if the native has more longevity, during that transit he
loses his wealth. When Shani is exalted and is not in a
Kendra with one, two, three or four Rekhas, the native has
a short life.

Note the duration of the day or night into eight equal
parts. If the birth is in the day time count from the lord of
the day as per the order of the week days. Gulika's portion
falls at the end of Shani's part. If the birth is in the night,
count from the lord of the fifth day from the day of birth.
Gulika is at the end of Shani's part.
When the length of the day is thirty ghatikas or twelve
hours, in the order of the week days of birth Mandi's position is at 26,22, 18, 14, 10, 6 and 2 ghatikas from sunrise.
If the birth is at night Mandl's position is at the end of Io.
6, 2, 26, 22, 18, 14 ghatikas from sunset in the order of the

Notes
We have also to determine the longevity of the native. If
the native has a long life, and the transit takes place early,
instead of death there will be only serious or chronic Illness.
Alongwith this we have to keep in mind whether the operating period is that of a functional malefic or not. We have
explained earlier who the functional maleflcs are. Shant,
Kuja, Rahu are cruel maleflcs, while the Sun is only a
malefic. These can become functional benefics. Guru,
Shukra, waxing Moon and Mercury unassociated with
malefics are natural benefics. They can become functional
malefics.

We explain how to prepare the samudaya (aggregate) or
sarva ashtaka varga. The total of all the ashtaka vargas is
called samudaya ashtaka varga. The Rekhas of the two
luminaries, five planets, and lagna are to be enumerated in
all the twelve signs. Then total the Rekhas for each sign.
Notes
Some authorities do not consider the ashtaka varga of
Lagna. The present author rejects their view. He removes
the contribution of the Rekhas contributed from-Lagna to
the various planets and lists them separately under Lagna.
Including he Rekhas from Lagna we get the following in our
example. The first is Dhanur Lagna with which we begin.

Find the total Rekhas in each sign and note them. This
gives the aggregate ashtaka varga which includes the lagna,
the luminaries and the five planets. It Is from this ashtaka
varga that the influences of the transiting planets have to be
delineated.
ftotes
Visvanatha supports this view. Jivanatha states that if
the total Rekhas in the ninth house are 35, the native is
victorious, has greatness and courage, is royal by birth or
character, destroys his foes and enjoys great happiness. If
there are 40 Rekahs in the tenth house, the native enjoys
great happiness from horses, elephants and gold. This happiness increases. The native becomes famous as a ruler. He
has fame surrounded by poets and authors. When the
Rekhas are more than thirty, the native has great wealth.:
from business, honour from the ruler, incomparable con:

veyances, ornaments and precious stones or gems, auspicious functions, love of music and pleasures from dancing
women.
The planets owning the twelve houses preside over the
various parts of the body thus: Sun--head; Moon-face;
Mars-neck and throat; Budha-near the navel; Guru-nostrils;
Shukra-eyes; Shant Rahu and Ketu-stomach and abdomen.
The planets give their results in transit within the framework of the operating Vimshottari dasa and antardasa. The
results depend on their strength or weakness.
In the Sarva Ashtaka varga, says Jatakadesa Marga
(9.35-36), the figures indicating the number of benefic
Rekhas in the twelve houses are as follows. Reckoning is

Notes
If there are more Rekhas in 6, 8, 12 houses, they become strong for good or bad. The result is increase of
diseases, death and loss respectively. Hence there should
be a less number of Rekhas in these houses. The Rekhas
should be more in benefic houses. This view is supported
by Mantresvara and Brahmayamala.
In our example chart houses 11, 12 and 1 have 21, 29,
and 25 Rekhas. The results are contrary to those given.
Houses 6, 8, 12 have 26,27 and 29 Rekhas. Houses 7, 9,

Thts view is supported by Devasala-Jataka and Brahma

the three groups starting with Mina (Pisces) (as per Sarva
Ashtaka varga).

The first group has many Rekhas. The first one-third part
of life must be the happiest. The last part cannot be happy,
the second part with two benefics should be better than the'
first. The last with one benefic is better than the first part of
life; and it should be a little less than the second part.

Jatakadesa Marga (9.43) states: Add the Rekhas from
Lagna to the sign occupied by Shanl: Multiply this by seven
and divide the total by 27. In the year indicated by the
quotient the native suffers from diseases and misery. In the
same way take the figures from Shani to Lagna, from Lagna
to Mars and from Mars to Lagna. MUltiply these separately
by seven and divide then by 27. The quotient gives the
years of troubles and sickness.

As before count the Rekhas from Shani to Lagna. Multiply the total by seven and divide it by 27. Take the quotient
and count the star from Asvini. When a malefic transits that
star or its tenth or its nineteenth, there will be sorrow and
Illhealth,
In the same way treat the Rekhas from Mars to Lagna
and from Lagna to Mars. The quotient Indicates sorrow and
the like.
The same method is to be applied to benefics Guru and
Shukra, to the waning Moon, and to Budha unassociated
with malefics. The quotient indicates the years of happiness
and wealth.

When the lord of the twelfth house is Makara or Kumbha

If the lord of the fourth is in Lagna, and the lord

If the lagna, fourth house, and the eleventh have more

Houses I, 5 and 9 are called Bandhu. Houses 2, 6, and

Foshaka. Houses 4, 8 and 12 are treated as Qhataka.
Add the Rekhas in these four groups separately. If the
Rekhas in Poshaka are greater than those in Ghataka, the
native is wealthy. Otherwise, he lives in poverty.
Notes.
In our example we get 88, 86, 79 and 84 Rekhas respectively. Ghataka is greater than Poshaka. And yet the
native did not live in prosperity. Bandhu Rekhas are greater
and the native is loved and adored by people.

Between the Sun and the earth are Budha, Shukra and the
Moon. The Sun is at the centre. The others are beyond the
earth in their distances from the Sun. Kuja, Guru and Shani
are the outer planets. The author does not consider the
planets beyond Shani-- namely Uranus, Neptune and Pluto,
called by some Indra, Varuna and Yama respectiveIy:tTranus is very muCh likelillJa, Shani-arid Rahu and owns
Kumbha. Neptune is like the M~n and Guru and owns
Pisces. Pluto owns Scorpio and his influence is not so much
on individuals as on nations.

Now the results of the chart drawn for the day are
explained. The day for the Hindus starts from the local
mean time of sunrise.
If the Rekhas are 28 the results are average. If they
are more than 28, there are favourable results. If they
are less than 28 the results are unfavourable. When they
are less than 14, dharma, money and happiness are destroyed.
Notes
First we should draw the Bhinna Ashtaka Varga of the
natal chart. Then for the required day note the Rekhas of
the transiting planets in their respective signs as before.

The problems concerning the father are to be known
. from the ashtaka varga of the Sun.
From this ashtaka varga we can know about the soul,
one's own power of influence, the periods when the father
has problems and difficulties, one's own ability and the
like.

The ninth house from the natal Sun is the sign of the
father. The Yoga Pinda of the Sun (explained in the previous
chapter) is to be multiplied by the Rekhas in this house and
divided by 27. Count the Remainder from Asvini. When
Shani transits this constellation there are troubles and difficulties to the father.
Or the period of difficulty can be when Shani transits its
tenth or nineteenth star. These are the trinal stars. If at that
time the major period capable of inflicting the death of the
father is in progress, then the father or a close relative on
the father's side will die.
If in the fourth house from the Sun there is Shant Rahu
or Mars, and if that house is not aspected by Guru or
Shukra, then the native himself will be responsible for the
destruction of the father.
Notes
These views are supported by Devashala and
Mantreshwara. Some take the tenth also to be the sign for
the father; the author takes the ninth.
The fifth from Lagna is the house of children. The
ninth from the fifth indicates the native. Hence the ninth
is said to be the house of the father. But the fourth is
the house of the mother; and its seventh should indicate
her husband. When the tenth should be the house of
the father. Parasara gives both the houses for the father.
If the tenth house or the twelfth has Kuja and if at the
same time the ninth lord is debilitated, Parasara states
that the father is poor or loses all his wealth (Parasara
Hom, 21.4).
In north India the tenth house and in the south the ninth
are treated as the house of the father. Western astrologers
accept the tenth. The tenth is also the house of karma,

If in the natal chart malefics are in houses 2,5, or 12
there are few children. If Guru is in the fifth house, then also
there are few children. If Guru in the fifth house is aspected
by the lord of the fifth house, there will be few children; but
these will be sons.
"oles
In the chart of a person born in Mina Lagna (25 53')
Guru is in the fifth (21. 58') aspected directly by the lord of
the fifth house Moon (10, 45'). tie had nine children,of
whom one died. The author's statement is proved false. In
another nativity Guru was in the fifth (Makara) and Shani in .
the seventh (Mina). The fifth and the seventh lords have
exchanged houses. The native had only two sons, and no
daughter. In actual experience the association of Guru with
the fifth house shows more daughters generally, and
Shukra's association shows sons also. But the example
cited above shows no daughters. The first example shows
five daughters and four sons. That is, any generalisation Is
futile.

Notes
This does not deny children. When does one have
children? Jatakadesa Marga states (16.24-25): Note
where the fifth lord is, and in what navamsa he is. Note
the sign in which Mandi is located, and which navamsa
mandi occupies. In these four signs find from the ashtaka
vargas of the owners of those signs, which sign has more
Rekhas. When Jupiter transits that sign, then there will a
son. The fifth lord is to be considered from the Lagna, from
the Moon and from Guru. Also take the trinal signs of these
houses.
Note when the lord of Lagna, lord of the fifth, or Guru
transits the sign occupied by the owner of the fifth house in
the natal chart, or the trinal signs. Then there will be born a
Child.
If the lords of 1,5 and 7 are together in any sign, there
will be children during that period.

In our example chart, Guru has five Rekhas from his
natal position. As per our Trikona and Ekadhipatya
Sodhana, the Sodhya Pinda of Guru is 251. Multiplying it by
five and dividing it by 27, we get thirteen as remainder.
When Shani transited ftasta, she lost a son in 1952.

Notes
Jatakadesa Marga states (13.17) : The Rekhas after
the two reductions are to be taken. Find the Rekhas in
the signs occupied by the lords of the seventh and ninth
houses from Shukra and the planets owning the ninth
houses from natal lagna and the Moon. This will denote the
number of women the native will have, Or the figures (after
the two reductions) in the exaltation and debilitation signs
of the planet owning the seventh house will correspond to
the number of marriages the native may have. In the case of
a difference between these two results, take the lowest
when the lord of the seventh is weak, and the highest when
that planet is strong.

Note in Shukra's ashtaka varga which sign has the greatest number of Rekhas. If the native's wife is born in that
sign, she brings prosperity to the husband's family. If she is
born in the sign having the least number of Rekhas, the
native's children and money will be less.
This is supported by Mantreswara.

Notes
Character, nature, appearance of the wife will be those
revealed by that planet. Prasna Marga gives some more
details on this question. Seventh house, seventh lord,
planet aspecting the seventh, planet in the seventh and
Shukra are to be taken into consideration while determlnlng
the nature, character and appearance of the wife. From the
seventh lord determine the nature and form of the wife
(20.4). From the seventh house determine as follows:

Mithuna

Frasna l'farga (20.9) states: If Shukra is wedged in between malefics without any benefic influence, the native's
wives life will be endangered or she may die. If malefics are
in the fourth and eighth from Shukra without any benefic
influence, some danger or accident will befall the wife. If
Sun and Rahu are in the seventh, the native will waste his
money on a woman.

Take the example chart. As per our method Shani's
50dhya Pinda is 100 and the Rekhas are two. The remainder is eleven. When Guru or Shani transits Purva Phalguni,
Purvashadha or Bharani death can take place.
As per the author's method the Sodhya Pinda is 82 and
the Rekha Is one. The nakshatras are Asvlnl, Magha and
Mula.

Notes
The Sun is the signlflcator of the father. The ninth from
the natal Sun indicates the father. The Rekhas in this house
are to be multlplied by the Sodhya Pinda of the Sun. In the
same way treat the other planets. The significator of "the
mother is the Moon. We have to take the Rekhas in the
fourth house from the Moon. The significator of friends and
of the maternal relatives is Budha. We should take the
fourth house from the natal Budha. Similarly the fifth from
Guru and the seventh from Shukra have to be considered.
One's own death is to be known from Shani and from the
Rekhas in the eighth from natal Shant.

we can know about the body and its appearance or health,
height and breadth, prosperity and the like.
Second house - good fortune, truthfulness of speech

If in the natal chart when a sign has two or more planets, take the years given by them and divide it by two. The
years given by them are thus reduced to half.
According to other authorities, we have to deduct only
one half of the years from the years given by the stronger
planet.
"otes
Devasala and Mantreswara support Mukunda's view.
Brahma yamala gives the opposite view. In our example
chart Kuja and Guru are in one sign. They will together give
only years 18.9.16.40 ghatikas. Bavl and Budha are together and they give years 9.1.16.40 ghatikas. This is
Mukunda's view.
According to the other view, Guru being stronger than
Kuja, he gives years 5.6.13.20 ghatikas. Kuja's years do not
get reduced. Budha is stronger than the Sun and he gives
only eight years. The Sun does not lose any. The strength is
determined on the basis of Shadbalas.

(a) A planet situated in its natural enemy's sign loses
one-third of the longevity it gives.
(b) A planet defeated in war also loses one-third of the
years it gives.
(c) If the Sun and Moon are with Rahu or Ketu, it loses
one-third of the years it gives.
(d) A planet in debilitation loses halfof its years.
(e) A combust planet loses half of its years. This does
not apply to Shani and Shukra.
(f) When a planet is subject to two or more reductions,
only the highest reduction is to be applied.
Notes
A planet defeated in war is one behind the other or
others in the same sign. A planet has less Rasmis, weak,
fallen or having a Southern declination is also defeated in
war.
In our example chart Kuja is behind Guru, Budha is
combust, and the Moon is with Rahu. Thus they give the
following years:

Notes
The full longevity for the total Rekhas is got by multiplying the Rekhas by 120 and dividing it by 56. The quotient
gives the years. The remainder multiplied by twelve and
divided by 56 gives the months. The remainder multiplied
by thirty and divided by 56 gives the days. In other words,
total Rekhas x 15 -+ 78 gives the planet's Ashtaka varga
dasha.
In our example chart the Sun is in Vrlschlka which has
five Rekhas in his own ashtaka varga. Then five multiplied
by 120 and divided by 56 gives ten years, eight months and
17. 143 days. In the same way calculate for the rest.

Add the yoga Pinda of rasis to the yoga Pinda of the
planets. The total gives Graha - rasi yoga plnda.
Take this Pinda and multiply it separately by 3, 3, and
20. Then we get the unrectified Samudaya Ayurdaya.
Notes
In our example chart the Rasi Pinda is 259 and
the Graha Pinda is 152. The total is 411. Multiplying by
3,3,20 we get (a) 1233 (b) 1233 (c) 8220. The first gives
the months, The second the days, and the third the
ghatikas.
The last figure 8220 divided by sixty gives 137. Adding
this to 1233 we get 1370. This divided by thirty gives 45 as
quotient. The remainder is twenty and these are days. Add
45 to 1233 and divide it by twelve. We get 106 years, six
months and 20 days.
The simpler method is to multiply the yoga Pinda by
seven and divide it by 27. We get 106 * years.

If the strongest Moon is in a kendra and other strong
planets are also in kendras, then we have to calculate Misra
(mixed) longevity.
If the Moon is strong and other planets are not in
Kendras, then Samudaya longevity is to be calculated.
If the Moon is not strong and other planets are strong,
then Bhinna ashtaka varga longevity is to be calculated.

Note who is stronger than the rest among the natal
Lagna, natal Moon, and natal Sun. The strength is as per the
shadbalas, In Ashtakavarga the first dasa will be that of the
strongest among these. The subsequent dasas depend on
the houses. Normally after the kendras we have to take the
Panapharas and then the Apoklimas.
The dasas of the planets in the Kendras follow the
sequence of their strengths in shadbala.
If two planets are in one sign and have equal strength,
then the planet who gives more years comes earlier.

Notes
Add all the divisors. They are 15. Note the number of
sub periods. So make it clear: The major period of the
planet is one by one. A planet with him has 112; in a trine
1/3; in the seventh 1/7; in the fourth lf4; in the eighth 1/8.
Assume that the first dasa is that of the lagna. Suppose
there are no planets in the trines. So the seventh from the
lord of dasa there are Budha and Shukra, and assume that
Budha is stronger. Then Budha gets one-seventh part of the
major dasa. Presume that there is none in 4 or 8. Then we
are left only with Lagna and Budha.
Multiply the divisor of these two. We get 7. Divide the
divisor of the lord of the dasa by this. Since the total parts
'190
A5nTAKA VARGA
are only seven, the result is one. This becomes the multiplier of Budha. The total multlpliers are one plus seven,
which is eight.
Assume the dasa of Lagna is yrs 3. 8. 4. 2. The total
multipliers being seven we get 25.8 .29.4. Dividing this by
eight We get yrs 3.2.18.67.5. This is duration of a subperiod
of the dasa of the Lagna. In the case of Budha, we divide
the original dasa period by eight and we get five months
and 15.58 days. The other subperiods do not figure here.
Let us find the subperiods in Budha. Here Budha has
the major period. His multlpller is one. Shukra who is with
him has half. There is none in his trines. Lagna is in the
seventh from him and hence it has one-seventh. The Moon
is in the fourth from him and his part is one-fourth. Thus we
have 1,2,7 and 4; and multiplying we get 56.
. When. we give half the years to Shukra. the divisor for
Shukra is 28, for lagna it is 8, and for the Moon it is 14.
Adding these we ge,t along with 56 a total of 106 as the
divisor.
Budha gives yrs 7.1.18. 3 Dlvldlng this by 106 we get
Budha's subperiod thus:
1. 1. 18. 3 X 56
3.9.6. 8 5 years.

f'rasna Marga (10.26, 27) gives some additional information. If birth is during day time, then the position of
Gulika the previous night increased by 180 degrees gives
Pramana Gulika. If the birth is in the night, the position of
GuIika during day time is itself the Pramana Gulika. When
Shani transits the sign occupied by Pramana Gulika. When
Guru transits the sign occupied by the lord of the navamsa
of Oulika. when the Sun transits the sign occupied by the
lord of the dwadasama of Gulika, and when the Moon
transits the sign of the lord of the trimsamsa of Framana
Gulika, death takes place. If the several niryana signs mentioned for Shant Guru, Sun aridNoon that alone can be
considered as the Niryana Bashi. which has the least number of Rekhas in the concerned Ashtaka Varga.

This long list makes the inquiry cumbersome and fruitless. It appears to be a guess work or one intended to justify

Note the 64th navamsa from Lagna and from the natal
Moon. The sign or signs having these navamsas are capable
of causing death. The seventh from Lagna is a death-inflicting sign; or it can be the seventh from the eighth -- namely
second from Lagna. In the ashtaka varga of Lagna, note
the sign having no Rekhas. The native's death can take
place when that sign is rising. If at that time the dasa and

Notes
Jataka Farijata gives some additional information
(95.57) we have to determine Jiva, Deha and Mrityu.
(a) MUltiply the longitude of Lagna by five and add
Mandi's longitude to it. The result is Jiva or Prana.
(b) Multiply the longitude of the Moon by eight and
Mandi's longitude to it. The result is called Deha.
(c) Multiply Mandi's longitude by seven and add the
Sun's longitude to it. The result is known as Mrityu.
If the longitude of Mrityu is greater than the longitudes
of Deha and .Jlva, the native has short life. If it is otherwise,
the native has a long life. When Shani transits the sign
indicated by total of Deha, .Jiva. and Mrityu longitudes,
there is waste of money. When Shani comes to the sign
indicated by this total to its Navamsa position, the native
may die.
We have explained earlier how to calculate the longltudes of Mandi and Gulika. The authorities make a confusion between these two. When they speak of Mandl, we
should not bring in Gulika.
There are also five upagrahas. Add 133.20' to the
longitude of the Sun. The result is the position of Dhuma.
Deduct Dhuma from 360, to get Vyatipata.
Add 180 to Vyatipata, the result is Parigha Parivesha.
Deduct Parigha from 360 to get Indradhanu.
Add 16.40' to lndradhanu to get Dhvaja Or upaketu,
Add 30 to upketu and we have the original longitude of
the Sun.

In Garhwal there is a beautiful place called Deva
Prayaga. Near it lies the village Khanda. There a Brahmana
called Mukunda Daivajna was born. He studied carefully all
the authoritative texts on astrology. In the Vikram Era 1999
(1942 AD) on the tenth day of the bright half of the lunar
month Chaltra, coinciding on the friday and with the Sun in
the sign of Mina, he completed this work. May the lord
Radhakrishan be pleased with this work. It is March 27,
1942 A.D.
