the old commentators. Take the fifth planet from the lord of the
weekday arid count from him and then the 8th in the order given above
will be Gulikakala. Take for example Sunday, the 5th from him is Guru.
Now take Guru. Dropping Guru we have Sukra and Sani covering the first
and second period, and the 3rd period falls under Gulika on Monday.
the second period on Tuesday, the 8th period on Wednesday, the 7th on
Thursday, the 6th on Friday and the 5th on Saturday. When there are
differences of opinion on such matters among the old writers we have
to look to the opinion of the best among them, and to verify and
support the theory we must also bring our large experience to help us
in such interpretations. Take Hora, Varahamihira and his school. Say,
that in odd signs the first Hora is governed by Ravi and the second by
Chandra.
In the even signs the first is governed by Chandra and the second by
Ravi. But there is a different school. Some say that first Hora is
governed by the lord of the house and the second by the lord of the
11th. In Drekkana more than two systems are recommended. Varahamihira
says the lords of the three Drekkanas are the lords of 1st, 5th and
9th. There are some others who say that the lords of the 3 Drekkanas
are the lords of 1st, 12th and 11 th houses. There are some others who
say that in chara or movable signs, the lords of the Drekkanas are the
owners of the 1st, 5th and 9th. But in fixed and double bodied signs
their order is quite changed. In all such cases of difference of
opinion among the Maharishis I cannot pretend to say which is correct
and which is not. Both may be correct as the authors, by their Divya
Drishti, may have approached from different directions and may have
found their observations proving quite true.
I leave the readers to judge of these differences in the light of
their intelligence, knowledge and personal experiences. When two
Maharishis differ I must frankly tell my readers that I have no means
at my command to ascertain which is better and more correct. Both of
them are Mahatmas and both looked into these details by their Divya
Drishti or expanded mental vision. I possess no such Divya Drishti and
therefore am not in a position to go beyond the phenomena and
ascertain the true causes. I have to trust the learned commentators.
SU. 30. - Chandrudrishtau chorapahritadharnaschouro va. If Chandra
aspects the Atmakaraka Navamsa falling in Gulikakala, the person will
be a receiver of stolen property or will become himself a thief.
NOTES I think there is not much difference between the moral and
spiritual offences between these two worthies.
SU. 31.- Budhamatradrishte brihadbeejaha. If the Atmakaraka Navamsa
falls in Gulikakala and possesses only the aspect of Budha, the person
will have enlarged testicles.
NOTES Here Budha alone must aspect the Navamsa without the aspect of
any other planets. Hydrocele is a nasty form of disease and disgusting
before the public.
