It is an admitted fact that without proper calcula- tions it would be difficult to make correct predictions. Bhaskaracharya, the great Hindu Astronomer, goes so far as to stress on the need for a clear knowledge of spherical astro- nomy and a comprehension of the doctrine of spherical projection and allied theories for locating the true positions of planets for one who wishes to be an astrologer. By the constant pressure brought to bear upon me by a large section of the readers of The Astrological Magazine I realised the need for a book of this type. And the main object in issuing this publication has been to enable the students of astrology to work out precisely the strengths of planets and houses which are absolutely essential for correctly interpreting birth charts. I must warn the zealous reader, that whilst mathematical astrology is important in its own way upto a certain stage as an aid to successful predictions, too much indulgence in it is harmful as marring one's power of intuition, the proper development of which is absolutely necessary. Hence I have given in this book such of the principles of astrological mathematics as would really help one to venture predictions with confidence. All superfluous material has been omitted. The general scheme I have followed is mainly that of Sripathi. I am fully convinced that Hindu Astronomico- ===== стр 4 ===== VI Astrological methods yield satisfactory results when properly studied and applied. I have discussed this subject in the introduction to my A Manual of Hindu Astrology to which the reader's attention is invited. The tables for finding the mean position of planets and their Seeghrochcha which are necessary for calculating Chesta Bala have been reproduced from The Book of Fate by Kedar- nath Dutt of Calcutta to whom acknowledgement and thanks are due. Throughout the book in the example worked out, fractions less than half a ghati or 30 seconds of arc or time have been rejected. 1 assume in my°readers a knowledge of the rudiments of Astrology and the ability to cast a horoscope which can be gathered from any standard book on the subject. The reader will do well to procure a copy of A Manual of Hindu Astrology ifhe has not already done so, as constant reference has been made to it, in the course of the present exposition. 1 crave the indulgence of my readers for any shortcomings and imperfections and solicit their valuable suggestions for incorporation in subsequent editions. BANGALORE 1-6-1940 B.V RAMAN ===== стр 5 ===== PREFACE TO THE THIRTEEN1H EDITION Considering the apparently technical nature of GRAHA AND BHAVA BALAS the sale of the twelfth edition within a short period is indeed an encouraging indication of the keen interest shown by a large number of educated people in the study of this sublime subject on rational lines. Probably mine is the first attempt to present the ancient rules of determining strengths of planets and houses in the English language in a simple, easy and flowing style. The thirteenth edition has been revised and improved It is bound to prove of considerable value to those who are in search of true astrological knowledge. The Ahargana Tables have been calculated upto 2000 AD. I crave the indulgence of my esteemed readers for any deficiencies that might have crept into this work through oversight. Appreciation is due to UBS Publishers' Distributors Ltd., New Delhi, for bringing out this edition attractively. "Sri Rajeswari" Bangalore-560 020 1st February, 1992 B.V.RAMAN ===== стр 6 ===== CHAPTER I THE SHADBALAS INTRODUCTORY 1. The Standard Horoscope.-We have learnt in our A Manual of Hindu Astrology how to cast a horoscope according to approved rules of the astronomic-astrological science. A nativity has been considered therein to illustrate the various principles enumerated with a view to clarifying matters. We propose to consider the same nativity for the study and application of the various principles in regard to the determination of Balas or strengths of planets and houses. 2. Birth Data.· -The following data with regard to the Standard Horoscope would be necessary for subsequent progress in the mathematical side of astrology. 3. Place of Birth.--Female born at a place, 13° N. Lat. and 5 hrs. 10 mts. 20 s. E. Long. 4. Time and Date of Birth.-2h 6m 16s p.m. (L.M.T.) or Ghatis 20-32 after sunrise, on 16th October 1918. ===== стр 7 ===== Graha and Bhava Balas 5. Other Details.-Equation of time is-14mts.

Non-angular Ifouses.-Can be obtained by following the rules laid down in Article 88 of A Manual of Hindu Astrology. 9. The Ba!as.-Planets, on account of certain positions in the heavens and Bhavas on account of being occupied or aspected by certain planets, will acquire certain sources of strength and weakness. In order to estimate the exact potency or strength of a Graha (planet) or a Bhava (house), it would be necessary to scrutinise its position in the zodiac from various points of view. These various sources of strength are called the Balas of planets. · 10. The Shadbalas.-The Parasari system recognises six kinds of potency. They are : -( 1) Sthanabala or Positional strength, (2) Dikbala or Directional strength, (3) Kalabala or Temporal strength, (4) Chestabala or Motional strength, (5) Naisargikabala or Permanent strength, (6) Drikbala or Aspect strength. The calculation of each of these involves a fairly thorough acquain- tance with astronomico-astrological principles. 11. Application of Shadbalas. -The importance of and the part played by the Shadbalas, in the 3 ===== стр 9 ===== 4 Graha and Bhava Balas science of horoscopy, are manifold. The applica- tion of any one particular system of Ayurdaya depends upon the relative strength and weakness of certain planets and Bhavas. For instance, in deci- ding Dasantardasa (periods and sub-periods) the first D~sa (period) is attributed to the most power- ful of the Lagoa (the Ascendant), the Sun and the Moon. Whether Lagoa or the Sun is more power- ful can be determined only when their respective strengths are known. In portraying the future results indicated by the different Bhavas, their strengths are of considerable importance. Suppose we consider .. the Dasa (period) of the Sun and Bhukti (sub-period) of the· Moon. In order to predict the various results, care should be taken to see which planet is more powerful or has greater strength. If the Sun is more powerful than the Moon, then the results likely to happen would be predominantly those indicated by the Sun. If the Moon is more powerful during his sub-period, the Moon's influence will be felt in preference to that of the Sun even though the latter may be the major lord. Thus when the . Shadbalas are ascertained correctly, future predic- tions can be ventured with sufficient confidence. The Shadbalas, in other words, give an account of the assets and liabilities of each house and planet in the horoscope. ===== стр 10 ===== CHAPTER II MEASURE OF PLANETARY EFFECTS UPON BHAVAS 12. Residential Strength.--In a horoscope, planets will be found in the different Bhavas. While some may be found very near the middIC--Of a Bhava others may reside al the beginning, or at the end. In all these three circumstances, viz., at the begin- ning, at the middle and the end point, the effects of the respective Bhavas, produced by the different planets in them, cannot be· the same. As a matter of fact, they must vary. What is the extent of the effects of the Bhava that is promised by a planet as a result of its residence there ? This we call as the residential strength of a planet. 13. Planets in Bhava Sandbis.-We haye seen that Bhava Sandhis Gunction points) mark the beginning of one Bhava and the ending of the oiher. If a planet is in a Bhava Sandhi it is utterly power- less and the results it produces are practically nil 14. Planets in Bbavamadbyas.-The influence of a Bhava begins at the Arambha Sandhi or startin .. ===== стр 11 ===== < iraha and Bhava Balas point (se~ Art. 90, A Manual of Hindu Astrology). It gradually increases and reaches the highest limit in the Bhavamadhya (mid-point). Then again the effect of the Bhava begins io fall down gradually till it is nothing at the Viramasandhi (last point). ff a planet is situated in between Bhavamadhya and Virarilasandhi, the effect of the Bhava planet is able to produce must be ascertained by rule of three. The planet gives no effect at the sandhi {junction point) whereas at the Bhavamadh~ a it gives the full eff ec t of the ~hava. 15. Method of Findiug,the Ext .. ut of Influence. - In order to measure the exact amount of the effect produced by a planet, in a particular Bhava, we have, first of all, to find the lengths of the Pourv- bhaga (first half) and Uttarabhaga (Second half) of the Bhava in question (see Art. 92. A Manual of Hindu Astrology). Then ascertain if the planet is in the Poorvabhaga or in the Uttarabhaga. 16. Arc of Residential_ Strength.-lfthe planet is in Poorvabhaga (first half), find the distance between the planet and the Arambhasandhi (begin- ning) of the Bhava by subtracting the longitude of the latter from that of the former. If the planet is in Uttarabhaga (second half), find the distance bet- ween Viramasandhi (end point) and the planet by subtracting the longitude of the latter from that of ===== стр 12 ===== Measure of Planetary Effects Upon Bhavas 7 the former. Call the remainder, in either case, the arc of residential strength. Divide this arc by length of the Poorvabhaga or Uttarabhaga of the Bhava according as the planet is in the Poorvabhaga or the Uttarabhaga. Tbe result gives the residential strength of the planet. The above remarks may be summarised thus : If a planet is in Poorvabhaga of a House : (a) Planet's long. - long. of Arambhasandhi (starting point of a house) = Arc of residential strength. (b) Arc of residential strength -:- Poorvabhaga of the Bhava = Residential strength. If a planet is in XJttaraphaga of a Bhava : (a) Longitude of Viramasandhi (ending point of a house)-Planet's long. - Arc of residential strength. (b) Residential strength = Arc of residential strength :- Uttarabhaga of the house.

This is only a general statement standing to be modified or qualified in the light of other important factors such as, the strength or the weak- ness of the planets aspecting the Bhavas, the strength of the Bbava itself and the disposition of planets towards particular signs, the yoga- karakas and such other factors. For instance, in the Standard Horoscope Jupiter gives 0.48 units of the total effects of the 6th Bhava. ===== стр 16 ===== ( H.4 PIER III Sthanahala. 18. Sthanabala. --We have said in Article 10 that of the Shadbalas or the six sources of strength and weakness. Sthanabala or the Positional strength constitutes the first item. A planet occupies a certain sign in a Rasi and friendly, neutrai or inimical vargas. It is either exalted or debilitated- ] t occupies its Moolathrikona or it has its own varga. All these states refer to the position or residence of the planet and as such a certain degree cf strength or weakness attends on it. This strength or potency is known as the Sthanabala. It consists of (1) Ochchabala, (2) Saptavargaja Bala, (3) Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala, (4) Kendra Bala, (5) Drekkana Bala. 19. Unit of Measore.-The balas of Grahas are measured in rupas. A rupa consists of 60 Shashtiamsas. 20. Ochchabala.-This is the strengt~ of Ocbcha or exaltation. All planets have certain exaltation - .. ·A Manualof Hindu Astrology ===== стр 17 ===== 12 Graha and Bhava Bala~ points (Occhabhagas)... When a planet occupies its Ochchabhaga, it gives one rupa ot 60 Shashtiam- sas of Ochchabala. When it occupies the Neecha- bhaga (debilitation point) it gives no Ochchabala. From the Neechabhaga to the Ochchabhaga, there is a gradual increase of the Ochchabala until at last the Bala reaches its maximum at the Ochchabhaga. From the exaltation point to the debilitation point there is a gradual decrease till the minimum 1s reached at the Neechabhaga. Maharishi Parasara observes thus: ;f\i+iht'U Sit Qt"l~\ ~ I ¥lltfl'f ~ftlqiki m511HC•IA ~ u The above liberally translated means that when a planet's longitude, diminished by its debilitation point, is in excess of 180° it is to be subtracted from 360° and the difference is to be divided by 3.

General Observations.-For finding out the Moolathrikonadi Bala of any planet we must ascer- tain the exact nature of the relationship between the planet in question and the other planets and the nature of relationship that exists between a planet and varga. ===== стр 19 ===== 14 Graha and Bhava Balas 22. Relations.-Planets have relations between themselves. They have relations with the vargas. And they have relations with the Bhavas. Thus there are three kinds of relations each of which is really important as adding to or taking away from the real potency of a planet or a Bhava. These various kinds of relations must be thoroughly under- stood before attempting to analyse a horoscope, as they have a direct bearing upon the determina- tion of not only the Shadbalas but also the Ayurdaya or longevity. 23. Relations between Plaoets.-Among the , planetary members, certain planets are declared to be friends, enemies and neutrals of certain other planets. In other words, they are said to be Mitras (friends), Satrus (enemies), and Samas (neutrals). There are two types of relations between planets. They are Naisargika and Tatkalika. 24. Naisargika.-This means permanent or natural. A planet is a friend or an enemy of another planet in consequence of its nature. This Naisar- gika relationship is not based on exchange of any mutual courtesjes. The rays of a planet will be intensified by the rays of the one declared as its friend and counteracted 'by those of a planet de- clared as its enemy. The Naisargika relationships are invariably the same in all horoscopes. When we ===== стр 20 ===== Sthanabala i5 say that Venus (Sukra) is an enemy (Satru) of Sun (Ravi) we mean that there is mutual counteraction between the rays of the two planets. A table of natural relationships between planets is given in Art. 3 l of A Manual of Hindu Astrology and we reproduce the same h~re for ready reference.

Tatkalika.-This means temporary or for the time being. As a result of the positions of planets at the birth time each stands at a certain relation with the other. Thus Tatkalika relationship ' . changes with reference to each horoscope. The planets in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, J J th and 12th houses from any other planet becomes his (Tatkalika) friend. Those in the rest of the houses are (Tatkalika) enemies.

Combined or Mixed Relations.-Jf a tem- porary friend also happens to be a permanent friend they both become intimate friends (Adhi Mitras). ===== стр 22 ===== Sthanabala 17 A temporary friend and a permanent enemy and vice versa becomes a Sama (neutral). And a tempo- rary enemy if he happens to be a permanent enemy becomes a bittei;: enemy (Adhi Satru). Thus we get the following relations after combining the two : • 1. Tatkalika Mitra + Naisargika Mitra = Adhi Mitra (Tempy. friend) (Natural friend) (Intimate friend) 2. Tatkalika Mitra + Naisargika Satru = Sama (Tempy. friend) (Natural enemy) (Neutral) 3. Tatkalika Mitra + Naisargika Sama = Mitra (Tempy. friend) (Natural neutral) (Friend) 4. Tatkalika Satru + Naisargika Satru = Adhi Satru (Tempy. enemy) (Natural enemy) (Bitter enemy) 5. Tatkalika Satru + Naisargika Mitra = Sama (Tempy. enemy) (Natural friend) (Neutral) ·6. Tatkalika Satru + Naisargika Sama = Satru (Tempy. enemy) (Natural neutral) (Enemy) Thus, from the above we can see that a planet towards another planet may be disposed as a Mitra (friend), Satru (enemy), Sama (neutral), Adhi Mitra (intimate friend) and Adhi Satru (bitter enemy). All these shades in friendship and enmity must be carefully noted and determined for each planet. Example 5.-Find out the combined relations between planets in the Standard Horoscope.

For instance, in the Standard Horoscope the Moon is in Kumbha (Aquarius) in the Rasi. The lord of Kumbha is Sani, who is a Satru (enemy) of Chandra, so that we say that the Moon in the Rasi occupies a Satrukshetra or an enemy's varga. If a planet, if any of the vargas, occupies its own varga (division) it is said to be in Swavarga- own varga, an enemy's varga-Satruvarga, a friend's varga-Mitravarga, and similarly, whether the particular varga is an Adhi Samavarga, Adhi Mitra- varga or Samavarga must be ascertained. This will I enable us to determine a part of Sthanabala, vtz.J Saptavargaja Bala. 28. Planets occupying more than one's own varga. - In passing we may remark that the greater the number of times a planet occupies its own varga the more auspicious it becomes and special results are ascribed to such occupancy of more than one Swavarga or own division.

This is not too frequent in places near equator. 30. Saptavargaja Bala.-We have already observed that a .planet on account of its occupancy of the different vargas gets a certain amount of strength. In fact, Sthanabala 'is calculated from a consideration of the relation between the tenant and the lord. A planet may occupy a Swavarga (own varga), a Mitravarga (friendly varga) or a Satruvarga (inimical varga) or it may occupy the varga of a Sama (neutral) or it may occupy the special position of Moolatrikona. A planet in its Moolatrikona is assigned a value of 45 Shashtiamsas; in Swavarga 30 Shashti- amsas ; in Adhi Mitravarga 22.5 Shashtiamsas; in Mitravarga 15· Shashtiamsas; in Samavarga 7.5 Shashtiamsas ; in Satruvarga 3 75 Shashtiamsas; and in Adhi Satruvarga 1 B75 Shashtiamsas. It must be noted that 45 Shashtiamsas have to be allotted for a planet only when it is in its Moolatrikona Rasi, and not when it occupies any other of the 6 vargas (than Rasi) owned by the planets. Suppose Sun is in Simha, in Rasi and in ===== стр 28 ===== Sthanabala 23 Navamsa. He gets 45 Shashtiamsas only in the Rasivarga and not in the other case. Take for instance, a planet. Examine its rela- tionship with the lords of Saptavargas. If in Rasi, it occupies a Moolatrikona, assign a value of 45 Sliashtiamsas ; similarly with reference to other vargas, assign values in accordance with the nature of relation a planet bears towards them. Add toge- ther all the values. You will get the Moola- trikonadhibala -of the planet in question. A table detailing the relations between the planets and vargas must be previously prepared to facilitate calculations (See Article 1°36 in A Manual of Hindu Astrology).

Certain planets get strength by occupying Oja (odd) Rasis (signs) or Oja Navamsas while others become powerful by residing in-Yugma (even) Rasis or Yugma Navam- sas. A planet which is to get strength by staying in an oja rasi or oja amsa is assigned a certain value as also the planets which are to get strength by residing in an YugmaRasi or YugmaNavamsa. The Moon and Venus when they are in an even sign or in a Navamsa owned by an even sign get strength of 15 Shashtiamsas. The Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn when they are in Oja (odd) Rasis or Ojamsas get a strength of a similar value. If, for instance, the Moon stays in a Yugma Rasi and occupies a Yugma Navamsa. she acquires a strength of 15 plus 15 equals 30 Shashtiamsas. Hence we call this as Ojayugmarasvamsa Bala or Yugmayugma Bala. Example IO-Find the Ojayugmarasyamsa Balas of planets in the Standard Horoscope. The Sun is in Libra an odd sign and in the I st navamsa of Libra ruled by Libra an odd sign Therefore its Oja and Yugma Balas are 30.

Kendra Bala.-A planet in a kendra (in the Rasi) gets 60 Shashtiamsas as its strength ; in a Panapara 30 Shashtiamsas ; and in an Apoklima 15 Shashtiamsas. This must be considered only in the Rasivarga. 33. Keodras.-These are the quadrants or the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. There is a diversity of opinion as to what kendras are. Some take them to be the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th Rasis (signs). Others take them to be the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th Bhavas (houses). Parasara inclines towards the former view. And-the commentator of Sripathi, and Balabbadra the author of Horarathna hold the latter view. Since we do not know what tbe view of Sripathi, whom we are mainly following is, in regard to this matter, we propose to share the view of Parasara and conse- quently we have to consider the signs in reckon- ing kendras. ===== стр 32 ===== Sthanabala 27 34.

Digbala.--This means the strength acquired by the planets on account of their occupancy of different directions or Diks in the horoscope. 42. Dik or Direction.-The ascendant represents the eastern direction, the 10th house denotes south; west is indicated by the descendant (7th house) and nadir (4th house) is the northern direction. 43. Planets and Dik.-Each planet in a parti- cular Dik or direction is supposed to be powerful and gets a certain quantity of strength. Jupiter and Mercury get full directional strength when they occupy the ascendant. The Sun and Mars are powerful in the south, i.e., they get full Digbala in the 10th house. Saturn gets full Digbala by being in the 7th house, and the Moon and Venus will become powerful in the north, i.e., when they are in the 4th Bhava they will have complete Digbala. 44. Digbala Arc.-We have seen from the above that certain planets are powerful in certain directions, by occupying which they get full Digbala ===== стр 36 ===== Digbala 31 This suggests that there are certain powerless points which when occupied give no Digbala. For instance, the Sun gets Digbala in the south (10th house). This is ~he most powerful point for the Sun. He gets zero Digbala when he is in the north (4th house), that is, the powerless point is the fourth house for the Sun. Similarly the 180th degree from the powerful point is the powerless point. The arc of ,the ecliptic between the longitude of a planet and its powerless point, we shall call as the Digbala arc. A planet when approaching its powerful point gains Digbala and while reaching the powerless point it gradually loses Digbala. Parasara says thus : subtract the longitude o( the 4th house from the longitudes of the Sun and Mars. Subtract the 7lh house, from Jupiter and Mercury. Subtract the 10th house from Venus and the Moon and from Saturn, the ascendant. When the difference in the several cases exceeds 180°, subtract it from 360°. The result is Digbala arc. Therefore : Digbala arc=planet's long.-its powerless cardinal point. If difference is more than 180° subtract it from 3ff> degrees. 45. Determination of Digbalas.-A planet at the direction where it is supposed to be most power- ===== стр 37 ===== 32 Graha and Bhava Balas ful gets a Digbala of 60 Shashtiamsas. At the powerless point it will have zero strength (Digbala). At intermediate positions, proportionate reductions must be made. The Digbala arc of a ptanet, divided by 3, gives the Digbala or directional strength. For instance, in the Standard Horoscope Sani is in the seventh house. The mid-point of the Bhava is always the powerful point. The mid-point of the 7th Bhava is 118° 27' Therefore, the power- less point is 298° 27' and Sani's Digbala arc is equal to 124° 23'-298°27'-=174° 4' corrected (difference). Dividing this by 3, we get Sani's Digbala as 58.02 Shashtiamsas. Example 14.-Determine' the Digbala Arcs of planets in the Standard Horoscope. Graha Its long.

Kala Bala.-This is the temporal strength or strength of time. The strength is ' calculated by considering the year, month, weekday, time, etc., of birth. In other ~ords, the various potencies of planetary vibrations duo to seasonal peculiarities are scrutinised. It consists of (1) Nathonnatha Bala ; (2) Paksha Bala ; (3) Thribhaga Bala; (4) Abda Bala or Varshadhipa Bala ; (5) Masa Bala ; (6) Vara Bala ; (7) Hora Bala ; (8) Ayana Bala ; and (9) Yuddha Bala. 47. Nathonnatha Bala.-This is the strength that planets get on account of birth occurring during day or night. This is made up of Diva Bala (diurnal strength) and Ratri Bala (nocturnal strength). This is also known as Divaratri Bala. The Moon, Sani and Mars are powerful during midnight. And at midday they are thoroughly powerless. Ravi, Guru and Sukra are powerful during midday and they are utterly powerless at midnight. Budha on the other hand is always ===== стр 40 ===== Kala Bala 35 ' powerful be it day or night. Sani, Kuja and Chandra get 60 Shashtiamsas at midnight as their Divaratri strength: at midday, Ravi, Sukra and Guru get similar quantity, and Budha always gets 60 Shashtiamsas. 48. Midday and Midnight.-Midday_ of any place is the local noon when the Sun passes over its meridian. 'The Hindus consider the apparent noon (which is 12 o'clock midday) and consequently if birth time is marked in local mean time, it must be converted into the apparent time by applying equation of time_. The midnight is marked when the Sun is in the lower meridian of the place and this is reckoned at 12 o'clock night. 49. Method of Finding Divaratri Bala-There are two methods. The principle in both is the same. We shall call them as methods A and B. 50. Method 'A'.-Whether birth has taken place during day or night the Natha Ghatis multi- plied by two give the Natha Bala (ratri) in Shashti- amsas in case of planets, said to be powerful during midnight. And Unnatha Ghatis multiplied by two give Unnatha Bala (diva) and each planet, said to be powerful during midday, gets this unit as its Diva Bala. The above explained in a simple manner means that Unnatha multiplied by 2 gives Diva Bala in case of planets having strength by day ===== стр 41 ===== 36 Graha and Bhava Balas and Natha multiplied by 2 gives Ratri Bala for planets strong in the night. Therefore : Diva Bala (for Ravi, Guru and Sukra) - Unnatha x 2. Ratri Bala (for Chandra, Kuja and Sani) - Natha x 2. (Budha has always a Divaratri Bala of 60 Shashtiamsas.) Example 16.-FindDivaratri Bala of Grahas in the Standard Horoscope according to Method 'A'. Natha = Gh. 5-50 = 5.84 (See Art. 5). Therefore Unnatha= Gh. 24.10 = Gh. 24.16. Therefore Diva Bala= 24.16 x 2 - 48 32 Shashtia111sas. Ratri Bala=- 5.84 x 2 - 11.68. Graha Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Diva or Ratri Bala 48.32 11.68 21.68 60.00 48.32 48.32 11.68 51. Method '8'.-We have already said that the interval between midnight and midday is 180 degrees and that between midday and midnight is also 180 degrees. Since it is the apparent noon that the Hindus consider the birth time if marked according to local mean time must be converted into local apparent time by applying equation of time. Then convert birth time (reckoned from midnight) into degrees at 15 degrees per hour and apply the ===== стр 42 ===== Kala Bala 37 following rule (if the birth time.in degrees exceeds 180 subtract it from 360°). \1) Birth time in degrees 0 . B l (~ S G d 3 . --= IVa a a 1or un, uru an Sukra). I (2) 180"-Birth time in degrees_ Ratri Bala (for Sani, 3 - Chandra and Kuja).

Paksha Bala.-This is the strength of Paksha or a fortnight. A Paksha is equal to 15Junar days. It is Sukla Paksha (bright half of the lunar month) when the Moon is increasing and Krishna Paksha (dark half) when the Moon is decreasing. The Papas (malefics) and Subhas (benefics) are powerful respectively during the dark half and bright half of the lunar month. 53. Papas and Sobhas.-Papas are malefic planets and they ~re Ravi, Kuja, Sani and afflicted Budha. Subhas are benefics and they are Guru, ===== стр 43 ===== 38 Graha and Bhava Balas Sukra and well-associated Budha. The increasing Moon is a benefic and the decreasing Moon is a malefic, i.e., he is a benefic from the 8th day of the bright half of the lur.ar month to the 8th day of the dark half of the lunar month and a malefic in the rest of the days. The Papas get more of Paksha Bala during the dark half of the month. 54. Krishna and Sukla Paksha.-In order to find out the Paksha Bala of Grahas, we should first ascertain whether birth has occurred during Krishna Paksha (dark half) or Sukla. Paksha (bright half). Subtract the Sun's longitude from the Moon. If the diffe1 ence is11ess than 180° it is Sukla Paksha and if it is more than 180° it is Krishna Paksha. 55. Method of Finding Paksha Bala.-lf birth has occurred during Sukla Paksha subtract the Sun ·s longitud.e from that of the Moon· Divide the balance by 3. The result represents the Paksha Bala of Subhas. 60 Shashtiamsas diminished by this quantity gives the Paksha Bala of Papas. That is, the compliment of this is the Paksha Bala of the rest. The Paksha Bala of benefic planets during the hright half corresponds to the Paksha ·Bala of malefics in the dark half. If birth has occurred dunng Krishna Paksha, subtract the Sun's longi- tude from that of the Moon. Subtract the remain- der again from 360 degrees and divide the balance ===== стр 44 ===== Kala Bala 39 by 3. The result represents the Paksha Bala of Subhas ; 60 Shashtiamsas diminished by this quantity give the Paksha Bala of Papas. Having given the above explanations, for the information of the reader, we shall lay out a simple rule for determining the Paksha Bala of planets irrespective of the Paksha Bala of birth. ,. I Moon's Long. - Sun's Long._ p~l\.~lt~ Bal rs ll.li 1 a/ - - - i:tru>rnt a o uu as . .) (b) 60 - Paksha Bala of Subhas = Paksha Bala of Papas. (c) Chandra's Paksha Bala is always to be doubled.

Thribhaga .uala:-The day and night are divided each into three equal parts. That is the period from sunrise to sunset to constitutes the day or ahas and the period from sunset to sunrise is t4e night or ratri. The duration of day or night must be divided by 3 according as the birth is during day or night and that part in which the birth has occurred must be determined. Say, for instance, the duration of day is 33 ghatis and the birth time is 21 ghatis. For each part Qr division there will be 11 ghatis and the ~irth faJls in the second part. When the birth occurs in the first part during the day, Budha gets 60 Shashtiamsas as Thribhaga Bala ; in the second part Ravi gets a similar quan- tity ; and in the third, Sani is assigned a similar value. When the birth occurs in the first part during the night, Chandra gets 60 Shashtiamsas ; in the second part Sukra ; and in the third Kuja. Guru is always assigned a value of Shashtiamsas whether birth is during day or night. 57. Method of Determining Thribhaga Bala.- Find out the duration of Ahas (day) and Ratri (night) on the day of birth (in ghatis or hours), and note whether birth is during the night or during the day. If it has taken place during the night, divide the duration of ·night (ratri) into three equal parts, or if the birth has taken place during the day, ===== стр 46 ===== Kala Bala 41 divide the duration of day (ahas) by 3. In either case, each part (i.e._, each Thribhaga), after being divided, gets a certain quantity ; find in which, whether in the first, second or third Thribhaga; birth has occurred. And assign a value of 60 Shashtiamsas to that planet which rules over that particular Thribhaga. Always assign a value of 60 Shashtiamsas to Guru irrespective of whether birth is during night or during day. Thus it will be seen that leaving Guru who has always a Thribhaga Bala of 60 Shashtiamsas, only one more planet gets Thribhaga Bala. In other words this Bala is obtained by only two planets (including Guru). Example 19.-find the Thribhaga Bala of Grahas in the I Standard Horoscope. Ahas (duration of day) = Gh. 29-20. Birth time - Gh. 20-32. Each Thribhaga=Gh. 29.33-~3==9.78. Therefore birth has taken place in third Thribhaga. Because the Thribhaga (during day) is ruled by Saturn, he gets strength of 60 Shashtiamsas. Graha Thribhaga Therefore Sani 60.0 Guru 60.0 58. Srishtyadi Ahargana.-· Ahargana is the number of days passed from any particular epoch and Srishtyadi Ahargana means the number of terrestrial days passed from the day of creation. ===== стр 47 ===== 42 Graha and Bhava Balas Details for the calculation of this Ahargana are given in Surya Siddhanta~ Chapter I and they seem really tedious to a student of astrology. Hence I have not given the methods here. For determining the lords of the year, month and ~lay of birth, the Ahargana for the day of birth must be calculated. It may be stated for ready refe.rence, that the number of days elapsed since the creation of the world upto the day of birth (for the Standard Horoscope) is :-714, 404, 130, 045. 59. The Year and Month.-The Hindus, for astrological purposes, consider a year and month of 360 and 30 days respectively. They are neither solar, nor lunar, nor luni-solar. 60. The Abdadbipathi.-This is the lord who presides over the year-the year we have referred to in the preceding article-of birth and he will be the planet that rules over the weekday on which the year begins. When 360, the duration of the year, is divided by 7 we get a remainder of 3 and a quotient of 51. This quotient represents the number of weeks. And remainder 3 denotes that the first day of any particular year will be three days later than that previous one. Therefore, in order to determine the Abdadhipathi, the number of days passed from creation of birth must be divided by 360 the quo- tient taken as representing the number of complete ===== стр 48 ===== Kala Bala 43 years passed from creation and the remainder rejec- ted. This quotient must be multiplied by 3 and to the product 1 added, and the resulting sum divided by 7. The quotient is then cast off and the remain- der counted from Sunday. This will give the week- day of the commencement of the year and its lord will be the Abdadhipathi. Example 20.- Find the Abdadhipathi in the Standard Horo- scope, given Ahargana os 714, 404, IJU, 045 daysfrom creation. 360) 714, 404, 130, 045 1, 984, 45-S,-916-:-285 x 3 ), 9:>3, 367, 748 + l 7) 5, 953, 367, 749 850, 481, 107 - 7. Counting 7 from Sunday, it is Saturday. There- fore Abdadhipathi (lord of year) is Sani. 61. Masadhipathi.-The planet that rules the weekday of the commencement of the month of the birth will be the Masadhipathi or lord of that month. When 30, the duration of the astrological month is divided by 7, we get a remainder of 2 and a quotient of 4. The quotient represents the number of weeks and the remainder denotes that the first day of any particular month will be two days later ===== стр 49 ===== 44 Graha and Bhava Balas than that of the preceding one. In order to discover the Masadhipathi, the number of days elapsed since creation must be divided by 30, the quotient taken for the number of complete months passed from creation to epoch and remainder rejected. The quotient is then multiplied by 2, to the product 1 added, the resulting sum divided by 7, the quotient rejected and the remainder counted from Sunday. This will give the commencement of the month and its lord will be the Masadhipathi. Example 21.-Findthe Masadhipathi in. the Standard Horoscope given the Ahargana as 714, 404, 130, 045 days since creation. 30) 714, 403, 130, 045 23, 813, 47l, 001 - 15 x 2 47, 626, 942, 002 + l 7) 47. 626, 942, 003 6, 803, 848, 857 - 4. Counting 4 from Sunday we get Wednesday. Therefore Masadhipathi (lord of month) is Budha. 62. Varadbipatbl.-This is the lord of the week- day on which birth has occurred. The weekday of birth is easily ascertainable without any calcula- tions, but still, in order to verify the Ahargana found for the day of birth we proceed in the usual ===== стр 50 ===== Kala Bala 45 fashion dividing the Ahargana since creation by 7, casting off the quotient and counting the remainder from Sunday, all the while assuming that we do not know the weekday of birth. lf the result so arrived at tallies with what actually obtains, then we are certain that the Ahargana we have consi- dered is correct. Example 22.- I iud out the Varadhipathi in the Standard Horoscope, given the Ahargana as 714. 404 130 045 days from creation. 7) 714, 404. 130. 045 102,057. 732, Xo~ 4.

And in Table IT is given the number of days from 1st January to the end of the month. And the reader will be able to ascertain the Ahargana for any desired date by looking into Tables I and II. Find the Ahargana on December 31 , prior to the date of birth from Table I and add to it the number of days from January I st to the date of birth both inclusive and the Ahargana is obtained. subjecting this Ahargana to the same processes as described in Articles 60, 61 and 62 and counting the remainder in each case from Wednesday, the Abda, Masa and Varadhipathis can be easily obtained.

Therefore Varadhipathi (Budha's) Bala is 45 Shashtiamsas. 68. ,'Horabala.-A day is divided into 24 hours or horas and each hora is ruled by a planet and the planet that rules the birth hour gets a value of 60 Shashtiamsas of his Horabala. 69. Horas.-A hora is equal to I/24th part of a day. Each hora is ruled over by a planet. The Hindu day begins with sunrise and continues till next sunrise. The first hora on any day will be the first hour after sunrise and the last hora, the hour before sunrise the next day. The different planets presiding over different horas are based on how the planetary arrangement obtains in nature. In Surya Wddhanta an account of solar system is given. Saturn is most distant planet from the earth. Guru, Kuja, Ravi, Sukra, Budha and Chandra come next in the order of their nearness to the earth. Thus the Moon is our nearest planet. Everyday, the first ===== стр 55 ===== 50 Graha and Bhava Balas hora is ruled by the lord of the weekday and other lords succeed, according to the order given above. For instance, on Sunday the first hora is ruled by the Sun, the second by Sukra, the third by Budha, the fourth by Chandra, the fifth by Sani, the sixth I by Guru, the seventh by Kuja, the eighth by Ravi and so on till the 24th which is ruled by Budha. The 25th or the first hora on the next day is ruled again by Chandra and consequently it is called Somavara or Monday. The other horas on Monday are similarly governed and the first hour on Tues- day is presided over by Kuja or Mars. I It is seen from table on pages 51-52 that every day the first hour is ruled by the lord of the week- day. From this table lord of different horas can be very easily determined provided the birth hour is known. 70. Method of Finding Hora Bala.-First ascertain the weekday of birth. Ascertain the number of hours elapsed from sunrise to birth. This shows the number of horas passed. The lord of the first hora being the lord of the weekday taken, find out the lord of the hora in question in the order shown in the table. And assign to him a value of 60 Shashtiamsas as Horadhipathi Bala. ===== стр 56 ===== Table ofHoras 1st table starts from sunrise Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra VI ===== стр 57 ===== Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Saturday VI Sunday Monday Friday Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Sukra Sani Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja Budha Guru Budha Guru Sukra Sani Ravi Chandra Kuja ===== стр 58 ===== Kala Bala 53 Rule J.-Ifbirth time is marked in English hours : (LM.T.) ofbirth-L.M.T. of sunrise) =number ofhoras from sunrise.

Therefore, Horadhipathi being Chandra gets 60.0 Shashtiamsas. 71. Ayanabala.-Each Graha will be situated either towards the north or south of the celestial equator and as a result of this circumstance, it gains a certain amount of strength. This strength of potency is known as the Ayanabala. 72. Kranti.-We have elsewhere said (see A Manual of Hindu Astrology) that a heavenly body moves northwards the equator for some ~ime and then gets southwards. This angular distance from the equinoctial or celestial equator is Kranti or the declination. Declinations are reckoned plus or minus according as the planet is situated in the northern or southern celestial hemisphere. ===== стр 59 ===== 54 Graha and Bhava Balas For instance, the Sun cuts the celestial equator twice every year, i.e., once in March and once in September. The declination is always measured in respect of a Sayana Graha, that is a planet reckoned from the movable zo<..ac point. The Sayana longi- tudes of all the planets must be invariably deter- mined by adding the Ayanamsa for birth year before their Krantis are found out. The Sun, after cutting the celestial equator in March (when the Aries ingress or Sayana Mesha Sankramana takes place) moves northwards and his declination which is plus or positive gradually increases till it is 24° (23° 270 when the Sun will have reached the last point.of Gemini or 90° from the beginning of the moving zodiac. 24° Uttara Kranti means that the Sun has reached the northern- most point of the north celestial hemisphere. Then the Kranti falls down gradually along with his Cancer ingress till it is 0° when the Sun will have again crossed the equator to begin his southerly course (i.e., the Libra ingress takes place). Now he will have Dakshina Kranti or south declination. He moves southwards. His declination which is now negative or minus gradually increases till it is 24° (23° 27') when the Sun will have reached the last point of Dhanus (Sagittarius) or 270° from the beginning of the moving zodiac. His Capricorn ===== стр 60 ===== Kala Bala 55 ingress begins. The Kranti decreases gradually till it is again zero when he will have crossed the equator (or entered Sayana Mesha) to begin his northerly course. 73. Determination of Kranti.-From the above arguments it must be evident to the reader that the distance of a planet from its nearest equinoctial point determines its Kranti or declination. It must be remembered that the maximum declination (according to the Hindus) is 24° while modern astronomical savants have it as 23° 271 or so. As the difference between the two values is negligible, for astrological purposes we may safely consider 24 as the maximum Kranti of a Sayana Graha and adopt it for our calculations. Modem ephemerides give declinations of planets for Greenwich Mean Noon everyday, but since the process involved in their calculation is so simple, the reader will do well to ascertain the Krantis by applying the rules set forth below. First convert the Nirayana longitudes of planets at birth into their respective Sayana longitudes. Find out their Bhujas (see Art. 60 of A Manual of Hindu Astrology). This will give their distance from either the first point of Mesha or the first point of Thula. At the end of the first 15° (from one of the two points referred to above) the declination ===== стр 61 ===== 56 Graha and Bhava Balas of a planet is 362 minutes of arc ; at the end of the second 15° it is greater by 341', i:e., when the planet has advanced 30° (from any one of the two points stated above) its declination is 362 + 341, equals 703 minutes of arc or 11° 43' ; at the end of the third 15°, it is further increased by 299'; at tbe end of the fourth 15° it is still greater by 236'; at the end of the fifth 15° it is raised by 150' more ; and at the end of the sixth it is further increased by 52'. We can summarise the above observations thus. The maximum declination of 24° is reached when the planet has advanced 90° from any one of the equinoctial points. Six equal divisions of 15° each are made of this 90° and the declination measured as described already. 7 4. Dakshina and Uttara Kranti.-A planet has Dakshina Kranti or south declination when its Sayana longitude is between 180° -360° and it has Uttara Kranti or north declination when the Sayana longitude is between 0°-180°. Example 32.-Con11ert the Nirayana longitudes of planets in the Standard Horoscope into their Sayana ones, determine the Bhuja of each 011e of them and thereby its declination or Kranti. ===== стр 62 ===== Kala Bala 57 (a) Conversion of Nirayana into Sayana Longitudes Planet Nirayana Long.

As 15 degrees : declination indicated by the particular divison : : the remainder degree : the required decl. (in that division). This amount of declination must be added to the amount due to the number of divisions already passed and the total declination of the Graha is obtained. For instance we shall take the Sun. His Nirayana longitude is 100° 54' and adding to 21° 16' the Ayanamsa, the longitude of the Sayana Sun is 202° 10'. The Bhuja (distan-:e from the nearest equinoctial, therefore, is 22° 10'. Dividing this the quotient 1 represents ===== стр 63 ===== 58 Graha and Bhava Balas that 1st division of 15° is alredy passed from the equinoctial point and the amount of declination due to it is 362' and 7° 10' is passed in the next, i.e._, the 2nd division and the amount of declination due to 7° 10' is equal to-as 15° : 341' (declination indi- cated by second division: : 7° 10' (the remainder) : the declination required in that division. 70 I (}II Therefore 341' x --rso = 163° 4'.

Determination of Ayaoabala.-The Ayana- bala of a planet at the equator is 30 Shashtiamsas. This is increased when the planet's declination increases and is additive. The planet's Ayanabala gets reduced proportionately when the Kranti is subtractive. The Ayanabala is obtained by the foil owing formula which is according to Kesava Daivagna : 24° + Kranti --,.48-- x 60:: Ayanabala. In case of Sukra, Ravi, Kuja and Guru their north declinations are additive and south declina- tions are subtractive. In case of Sani and Chandra, their south declinations are additive while their north declinations are subtractive. For Budha the declination, north or south, is always additive. And double the Ayanabala in the case of the Sun. ===== стр 65 ===== 60 Graha and Bhava Balas Gralza.1· Ravi, Kuja. Guru and Sukra Do Chandra, Sani Do Budha South or North Deel.

All the planets excepting Ravi and Chandra may enter into war. The conquering planet is the one whose longitude is less. When two • planets are in war, ascertain the aggregate of the various Balas, l 1fr., Sthanabala, the Dikbala and the Kalabala (up to Horabala) des- cribed hitherto of the fighting planets. Find out the difference between the two aggregates. (In finding the difference the Jess must be subtracted from the greater). Divide this difference by the difference between the diameters of the discs (see Article 77) of the two fighting planets. And the resulting quotient which is the Yuddhabala (Shashtiamsa) must be added to the total of the Kalabala (detailed hitherto) of the victorious planet and must be sub- tracted from the total Kalabala of the vanquished planet. The result in either case represents the Kalabala after Grahayuddha. 77. Bimba Parimanas.-Tbis means the dia- meters of the discs of the planets.

Chesta Bala.-Chesta here means Vakra Chesta or act of retrogression. Each planet, except the Sun and the Moon, and shadowy planets get into the state of Vakra or retrogression when its distance from the, Sun exceeds a particular limit. And the strength or potency due to the planet on account of the arc of the retrogression l's termed as Chesta Bala. 83. General Observations.-The facts relating to the phenomenon of retrogression described in Hindu Astronomical works are of a complicated nature. To enter into a discussion of the under- lying principles of this phenomenon and to expound them intelligibly in this book would mean firstly an enormous increase of the bulk of the book and secondly a great strain on the intellectual acumen of the reader. However, it is not possible without a good study of astronomy, to go through the various processes mentioned in the text-books as regards determination of Chesta kendra, etc. ===== стр 70 ===== Chesta Bala 65 The reader must bear in mind that he has all through been studying the various principles of mathematical astrology to help him to make correct predictions and that it is not worthwhile aiming at too much accuracy in the calculations at the cost of marring the predictive or judgment f acuity. Mathe- matics alone cannot help one to become a predictor of future events. It is for astrological purposes that these various calculations are being gone through. And, therefore, we need not be so very precise as not to overlook an arc of even a few seconds. In view of the above observations, we have thought fit to give in the subsequent pages a simple method for measuring the Chesta kendra necessary for calculating Chesta Bala. 81. Superior Planets.-Tbese are Kuja, Guru and Sani. The orbits of these superior planets enclose on all sides that of the earth. They appear at all distances from the Sun and are not confined to particular limits of elongation. Sometimes they ' are found in the opposite quarter of the heavens, or in opposition. This is possible only when the earth places i~self between the superior planet in question and the Sun. 82. Inferior Planets.-Budha and Sukra are the inferior planets. These perform their circuits ===== стр 71 ===== 66 Graha and :Shava Balas round the heavens as attendants upon the Sun from whose vicinity they never depart beyond a certain limit. They are seen, sometimes to the east and sometimes to the west of the Sun. In the former case they appear conspicu.ous over the western horizon, just after sunset and are called evening stars. Venus especially appears occasion- ally in this situation with a dazzling lustre. When they happen to be to the west of the Sun, they rise before that luminary in the morning and appear over the eastern horizon as morning stars. Budha never attains from the Sun a greater elongation than I about 29° while Sukra extends to about 47°. Their orbits around the Sun are smaller than that of the earth and therefore they are confmed to certain limits. · 83. Superior and Inferior Conjnnctions.-The points of nearest approach to the Sun of the planets Budha and Sukra are the inferior and supe- rior conjunctions. The inferior conjunction occurs when the planet passes between the earth and the ' Sun and the superior conjunction when the planet passed behind the Sun. At superior conjunction the planet and the Sun occupy the same longitude. Then the planet is forwards or eastwards of the Sun till it meets ihe Sun again at inferior conjunc- tion. After this the planet is backwards or west- ===== стр 72 ===== Chesta Bala 67 wards to the Sun. Again this meets at superior conjunction. 84. Conjunction and Opposition.-The supe- rior planet when it occupies the same longitude as the Sun is said to be in conjunction with him. It is said to be in opposition when its distance from the Sun is exactly 180°. After conjunction the superior planet remains backwards (west) to the Sun till it is diametrically opposite to him at opposition. Then the suporior planet is forwards (east) of the Sun till conjunction takes place. The conjunction and opposition of superior planets correspond to the superior and inferior conjunc- tions respectively of the inferior planets. 85. Retrogression or Vakra.-The inferior planet, after superior conjunction, recedes from the Sun eastward (forwards) to its respective distances, remains there stationary for some time, the Sun gains upon it. After disappearing for some time it appears on the other side of the Sun and in this time its motion is retrograde. After being in this situation for some time, it becomes sta- tionary again, the Sun advances over it and it again becomes direct and tries to overtake the Sun. Therefore in case of inferior planets retrogression commences only after inferior conjunctions. ===== стр 73 ===== 68 Graha and Bhava Balas The superior planet is retrograde in its apparent motion when in opposition and for sometimes before and after. 86. Chesta Kendra.-This is the Arc of retrogression. 87. Madhya of Grahas.-The Madhya of a Graha is its mean longitude in its path round the Sun. The mean position of a planet is the posi- tion which it would have attained at a uniform rate of motion and the corrections to be applied in respect of the eccentricity of the orbit are not considered. The mean longitude is reckoned on the' assumption that the orbits of planets are con- centric circles. Because the orbits are elliptical and not circular, equations are later on applied to the mean positions to get the true longitudes. In order to calculate the mean· positions of planets necessary for determining Chesta Kendra we extract the foil owing information from the Book of Fate by .Mr. Kedarnath Dutt. 88. The Epoch.-Start from the epoch. Calculate the time of interval from the epoch to the day of birth and multiply the same by the daily motion of the planet, and the change during the interval is obtained. This change being added to or subtracted from the mean position at the time of epoch as the date is posterior or anterior ===== стр 74 ===== Chesta Bala 69 to the epoch day, the mean position is arrived at. The epoch is taken at the beginning of the first January (Monday), 1900 midnight on 76° E. longi- tude (the Meridian of India as adopted by the Hindu Astronomers). 89. The lnterval.-Determine the interval between birth date and the date of the epoch thus. Deduct 1900 from the Christian Era. The difference will be past years when positive and coming years when negative. Multiply the same by 365 and to the product add the intervening bi-sextile days. And in order ta.. find the odd days in the year, add to the above result the number of days past from 1st January. (Take the figures given in Table II.) The result represents the interval from the epoch to the birth date. Example 36.-Find the interval in case of a birth on Tuesday, 2ndApril1895. 1895-1900= - 5 - 5 x 365 = - 1825 1 (Bi-sextile in 1896) 1826 ____ 9_1 (From Jany. 1st to April 2nd) - 1735 Example 31.-Findthe Interval in the Standard Horoscope.

Uijain Mean Midnigbt.-The mean posi- tions of planets are calculated for 76° E. Long. (Longitude of Ujjain). This we will call as U.M.N.(Ujjain mean night). 91. Corrections Necessary.-The local time of birth must be converted, into the corresponding Uijain time by subtracting from, or adding, four minutes to the local time for every degree of longi- tude according as the birthplace is towards east or west of Uijain. Example 38.-Whatis the Ujjain Time corresponding to2-6-16 p.m. (Local Time) in the Standard Horoscope, locallongitude being 77° 35' E.

Drishti.-Drishti means aspect. All planets powerfully aspect the 180th degree from their positions. 110. Drishti Kendra.-Tbis is the aspect angle. A planet cannot aspect ,another planet or bhava within 30° in front of it and (fJ 0 behind/ it. That is, the aspect proper commences from 30° in front of the planet and it stops short at the 300th degree from the planet. A planet cannot exercise aft'}' a-spect over another bhava or planet which is within 30° or beyond 300° from the aspecting planet. Drishti Kendra (Aspect Angle) commences from 30°, it gradually increases and at (fJ 0 it gets an aspect value of 15 Shashtiamsas. The value increases till the Drishti kendra is 90°. When it is 90°, the Drishti value will be 45 Shashtiamsas. From 90° it decreases, reaching. 30 Shashtiarr:isas at 120°. Again from 120° to 150° the value falls down and the Drishti value will be nil at 150°. From 150° and onwards up till 180° there is a ===== стр 88 ===== Drik Bala 83 sudden jump in the Drishti value and the maximum Drishti of 60 Shashtiamsas is attained at 180°. Again the value diminishes gradually till it reaches zero at 300°. 111. Drishta Graha.-A planet that aspects or, in other words, the aspecting body is called the Drishta Graha. 112. Drusya Graha.-The planet that is aspected is known as Drusya Graha. 113. Method of Finding Drishti Kendra or Aspect Aogle.-Subtract the longitude of the Drishta Graha (Aspecting planet) from that of the Drusya Graha (Aspected body). The result represents Drishti kendra or Aspect angle. Ru/e.-Drishti Kendra -Long. of Drusya Graha - Long. of Drishta Graha (Aspect Angle = Aspected body - Aspecting body).

Drishti Valoe.-All through the book, we are adopting the method of Sripathi in the the matter of Shadbalas. For the information of the readers, I propose to reproduce hereunder a stanza on Drishti from Sripathi Paddbati. This I do simply to show that I have retained the sense of Sripathi's expositions even though I have expressed his ideas in a different language. For instance, Sripathi says : Subtract the Drishta from Drusya and if the remainder exceeds 6 signs and is within 10 signs, subtract this remainder from ten signs and convert- ing the remainder into minutes, divide the result by 7,200, so that the Drishti value may be obtained. In other words, the above means that when the Drishti angle is between 180° ( 6 signs) and 300° (10 signs) subtract the Drishti angle from 300° (10 signs) and divide the remainder by 120° (7 ,200 ===== стр 90 ===== Drik Bala minutes). From the above, we can formulate the following rule, vtz., if the Drishti Kendra is bet- ween 180° and 300°, the Drishti value is equal to: - 10 Signs-Drishti Kendra _ 300o-Drishti Kendra 60 7200' 1200 x (P.S. 60 - 60 Shashtiamsas) 300° - Drisbti Kendra . . Therefore 2 ... Dnsht1 value. Parasara also gives the same rules for finding the quantity of Drishti exercised by each planet on the other. ' Knowing beforehand the Drishti Kendras (aspect angles) the Drishti value can thus be ascertained. If the Drishti angle is between Drishti value 6 & !O signs or 180° & 300° = (3000-D.K.)" + 2 5 & 6 signs or 150° & 180° ~ (D.K.-150°) x 2 4 & 5 signs or 120° & 150° "" (150°-D.K.) 3 & 4 signs or 90° & 120° = (1200- D.K.) -:- 2 t 30 2& 3 signs or 60° & 90° ~ (D.K.-600) + 15 1 & 2 signs or 30° & 60° = (D.K.-30° + 2 115. Visesha Drishti.-Some planets have what is called Visesha Drishti or special aspect in addi- tion to their usual Drishti. Sani has Visesha Drishti on the 3rd (60°-90°) and 10th (270°-300°) houses. Guru has Visesha Drishti on the 5th (120° -150°) and 9th (240°-270°) and Kuja has special aspect on the 4th (90°-120°) and the 8th (210°-240°). * D.K. means Drishti Kendra. ===== стр 91 ===== X6 Graha and Bhava Balas The Visesha Drishti value of Kuja is 15 Shashti- amsas ; that of Guru is 30 ; and that of Sani is 45 Shashtiamsas. After finding out the ordinary Drishti values of all the Grahas, the special Drishti values must be added to the ordinary ones in the case of Kuja, Guru and Sani, if they have really any special aspect in the horoscope over any other planets. 116. Subha and Papa Drishti.-The aspect cast by a benefic planet is Subha Drishti (positive aspect) and may be denoted by a ( +) sign or with no sign. The aspect cast by a malefic planet is known as Papa Drishti (negative aspect) and may be denoted by a (-) sign. 117. Papa Grahas.-Papa Grahas are malefic planets. They are Ravi, Kuja, Ksheena Chandra (wanning Moon), Sani and badly associated Budha. 118. Subha Grahas.-Subha Grahas are benefic planets. They are Guru, Sukra, Vriddhi Chandra (waxing Moon) and well-associated Budha. 119. Drishti Pioda--The sum total of the Drishti values of all Drishti Grahas ( aspecting planets) over the Drusya Grahas (aspected planets) is called the Drishti Pinda. This is negative or positive according as the Drishti of the Papas (malefics) or the Subhas (benefics) is greater.

The Shadbala Pindas.-All the while we have learnt to determine the various kinds of Balas of Grahas. In order to obtain the total strength of the Shadbala Pinda of each planet, we have to add together its Sthana Bala, Dik Bala, Kala Bal~ Chesta Bala and Naisargika Bala. And the Graha's Drik Bala must be added to or subtracted from the above sum according as it is positive or negative. The result obtained is the Shadbala Pinda of the planet in Shashtiamsas. This divided by 60 will give the Shadbala Pinda in rupas. Example 56.-Find the Shadbafu Pinda of planets in rupas in the Standard Horoscope.

Significance of being Powerful.-Among the several planets associated with a bhava, that, which has the greatest Shadbala, influences the bhava most. ===== стр 97 ===== CHAPTER IX BHA VA BALA OR HOUSE STRENGTH 124. Bhava Bala.-Bbava means house and Bala means strength. Bhava Bala is the potency or strength of the house or bhava or signification. We have already seen that there are 12 bhavas which comprehend all human events. Each bhava signifies or indicates certain events or functions. For instance, the first bhava represents Thanu or body, the appearance of the individual, his complexion, his disposition, his stature, etc. If it attains certain strength, the native will enjoy the indications of the bhava fully, otherwise he will not sufficiently enjoy them. The strength of a bhava is composed of three factors, viz., (1) Bhavadhipathi Bala, (2) Bhava Digbala, (3) Bhava Drishti Bala. We shall study each of these carefully and apply the principles to the Standard Horoscope. 125. Bhavadhipathi Bala.-This is the potency of the lord of the bhava. The lord of a bhava is the Graha (planet) in whose Rasi (sign) the Bhava- madhya falls. The Shadbala Pinda (aggregate of ===== стр 98 ===== Bhava Bala 93 the Shadbalas) of the lord of the bhava constitutes its Bhavadhipathi Bala. In the Standard Horo- scope the lords of the 12 bhavas have already been given in Article 29. We have to simply reproduce them for ready reference.

Lab ha Guru 723 ' XII. Vraya Sani 6.49 ' 126. Bhava Digbala.-Tbis is the strength acquired by the different bhavas falling in the different groups or types of signs. The zodiacal signs are grouped into Nara Rasis (human signs), Jalachara Rasis (aquatic signs), Chathushpada Rasis (quadrupedal signs) and Keeta Rasis (insect signs). It is supposed that a particular bhava acquires ===== стр 99 ===== 94 Graba and Bhava Balas strength by its mid-point falling in a particular kind of sign. For instance, if the mid-point of the fourth house happens to fall in a Jalachara Rasi (see Art. 128) it gains a strength of a rupa. 127. Nara Rasis.-Nara Rasis mean human signs. They are Mithuna (Gemini), Kanya (Virgo), Thula (Libra), first half of Dhanus (Sagittarius) and Kumbha (Aquarius). If the mid-point of the ascendant happens to fall in any one of these signs, then the ascendant acquires a strength of one rupa. And conversely, if the mid-point of the seventh house falls in a Nara .Ras.i, the seventh bhava loses all vitality. 128. Jalachara Rasis.-Watery or aquatic signs are termed as Jalachara Rasis. They are Kataka (Cancer), second half of Makara (Capricorn) and Meena (Pisces). If the fourth happens to fall in a Jalachara Rasi, it gets a strength of 60 Shashti- amsas. When a Rasi (sign) belonging to this type becomes the Bhava Madhya of the 10th house, it becomes exceedingly powerless. 129. Chathushpada Rasis.-These are the quadrupedal signs, viz._, Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus), Simha (Leo), second half of Dhanus (Sagittarius) and first half of .Makara (Capricorn). When a Chathushpada Rasi becomes the Bhava Madhya of the 10th house, the bhava becomes most ===== стр 100 ===== Bhava Bala 95 powerful and acquires a strength of 60 Shashtiamsas. Conversely, the mid-point of the fourth house in a like sign becomes utterly weak. 130. Keeta Rasis.-These are insect signs. In the whole of the zodiac, Vrischika (Scorpio) is the only Keeta Rasi or reptile sign. Scorpio by its nature is highly mischievous. A Keeta Rasi if it happens to be Bhava Madhya of the seventh house, then it acquires potency of 60 Shashtiamsas. Like- wise, if the Bhava Madhya of the ascendant happens to fall in a Keeta Rasi it becomes powerless. 131. How to Determine Bhava Digbala.-For instance, the Lagna Bhava becomes most powerful when it falls in a Nara Rasi ; here it will enjoy a strength of 60 Shashtiamsas. When a Nara Rasi happens to be Bhava Madhya of the seventh bhava, it becomes powerless, i e ., the Bhava Madhya' of the seventh bhavain aNaraRasibecomes so power- less as to get a strength of zero Shashtiamsas. The strength decreases gradually from the first Bhava Madhya till it is nil at the seventh Bhava Madhya. Similarly, the Bhava Madhya of a Chathushpada Rasi becomes utterly powerless when it happens to be the fourth and reaches its maximum power when it becomes the Bhava Madhya of the tenth. The value of the strength increases from the fourth Bhava Madhya at 10 Shashtiamsas per sign till it is ===== стр 101 ===== 96 Graha and Bhava Balas 60 at the tenth Bhava Madhya. Therefore first fmd the number of a given Bhava Madhya and subtract it from 1, if the given Bhava Madhya is situated in Vrischika. Subtract it from 4, if the given Bhava Madhya is situated in Mesha, Vrishabha, Simha, first half of Makara or last half of Dhanus. Subtract it from 7 if in Mithuna, Thula, Kumbha, Kanya or first half of Dhanus ; and lastly from 10 if in Kataka, Meena and last half of Makara. H the diJfcfrence exceeds 6, subtract it from 12, otherwise take it as it is and multiply this difference by 10. And you will get Bhava Digbala of the particular bhava. For instance, let us take the 8th bhava in the Standard Horoscope. Its Bhava Madhya is situated in Kanya, human sign. Therefore subtract- ing (the number of the given Bhava Madhya as it is the 8th bhava) from 7, we get 11. As this is more than 6~ this again, subtracted from 12, leaves a balance of 1, which multiplied by 10 gives 10 Shashtiamsas as the Bhava Digbala of the bhava in question. 132. Bhavadrishti Bala.-Each bhava in a horoscope remains aspected by certain planets. Sometimes the aspect cast on a bhava will be posi- tive and sometimes it will be negative according as it is aspected by benefics or malefics. In order to measure the exact amount of Drish ti on a bhava, ===== стр 102 ===== Bhava Bala 97 the given bhava is considered as a Drusya Graha (aspected body) and the Drishti Kendra found out as per rules given in Art. 114. Then the Drishti values are determined, the Visesha Drishti (special aspect if any) of Kuja, Guru and Sani, added and finally one-fourth of the Drishti of each Graha on each Drusya (aspected) Bhava Madhya is considered while the entire Drushti on the Drusya (aspected) Bhava Madhya of Guru and Budha are taken. The total Drishti value thus obtained of all the planets on one Bhava Madhya is the Drishti bala or Drig- ba1a of that bhava. Subtract the longitude of the Drishti (aspecting) planet from that of the Drusya (aspected) Bhava Madhya. The Drishti Kendra is obtained. Get the Drishti value by applying to the Drishti Kendra the principles described in Article l 14. Add Visesha Drishti. if any, of Kuja, Guru and Sani. Then take the Drishti values of Guru and Budha on the Bhava Madhya as they are ; take a fourth of the aspect value of other Grahas over the Bhava Madhya. And the Drishti on the Bhava Madhya will be positive or negative according as the Subha Drishti on it is greater or less than Krura Drishti. The Drishti is Subha (positive) when the Drish ta Graha (aspecting planet) is a natural benefic and it ===== стр 103 ===== 98 Graha and Bhava Balas Example59.-Find BhavaBalas BHA VA BALA OR Aspected Bhavas Serial Number of Bhava I J[ Ill JV Aspectiog Planets 0 • 0 --o-, Mid-ooints of Bhavas 298 27 311 10 3 53 36.36 Guru (Jupiler) : 84° 1 -D.K. 214.26 247. 9 219.52 312.35 D.B. 4J 1s I +30.00 10.f}() 26.4-0 "Budha (Mercury1: 181° 32-.D.K. 116.55 149.38 182.21 215. 4 D.B.

Thus the Bhava Digbala must be found out. In finding the Drishti Kendra always add 360° to the longitude of the Drusya (Bhava) Madhya) when it is less than the longitude of the Drish ta ( aspecting Graha). 133. Total Bhava Bala.-Add together the Bhavadhipati Bala, Bhava Digbala and Bhava Drigbala of each bhava. The sum total represents the strength of the bhava. See Example given on pages 98-99. 134. Concluding Remarks.-Thus it will be seen from Example 59, that the 8th is the most powerful bhava while the 3rd is the least powerful bhava of the 12 bhavas. We have now prepared sufficient ground for venturing predictions. ===== стр 106 ===== CHAPTER X ISHTA AND KASHTA PHALAS 135. General Observations.-Parasara, Sripathi, Kesava and other writers enable us to measure numerically the extent of good and bad results that would accrue in a particular Dasa. The occupations which men have to pursue under certain planetary conditions, the effects due to different bhavas, yogas, aspects and other indications of planets should be assigned suitably according to the strength of planets ruling the Dasas and Bhuktis. In the matter of forming a general opinion regarding the extent of good and evil that is likely to happen during a particular Dasa or a Bhukti, the Ishta (good) and Kashta (bad) Phalas of the respective lords would be immensely helpful. 136. Sun's Chesta Kendra. -As we have already seen, the Sun has no Chesta kendra or Chesta bala as he never gets into retrogression. But still a method is prescribed to find his Chesta Bala which is necessary to ascertain the Ishta and Kashta Phalas. ===== стр 107 ===== 102 Graha and Bhava Balas Add 90° to Sun's Sayana longitude. The result is Sun's Chesta kendra ; dividing this by 3 we get his Chesta bala. Example 60.-Find the Chesla Bala of the Sun in the Standard Horoscope.

The Moon's Chesta Bala.-Subtract the Sun's longitude from that of the Moon and the latter's Chesta Kendra is obtained. If the remainder exceeds 180° subtract it from 360° and divide the resulting figure by 3 to get the Chesta Bala. Example 61.- Find the Moon's Chesla Bafu in the Standard Horoscope.

Determination of Kashta Phala'-The square root of the product of (60-0chcba Bala) and (60 - Chesta Bala) gives the amount of Kashta influence in Shashtiamsas.

Concluding Remarks.-A planet with more Ishta Phala is always supposed to be inclined to do good in its Dasa or Bhukti while a planet with more Kashta Phala is supposed to give rise to more evil results. In case of Venus in the Standard Horoscope the Kashta predominates over, Ishta. Therefore in his Dasa or Bhukti, Venus will give all sorts of miseries with regard to the bhavas ruled or aspected by him. As lord of the 5th house in such a circumstance Saturn is sure to cause loss of children and producing evil on this account. If the strength of a Dasa lord predominates over that of the Bhukti lord, then the results to be obtained during the Bhukti in question will be that indicated by the Dasa lord, who if he has more Ishta Phala will produce more of beneficial effects. The results of Dasas and Bhuktis have to be judged very carefully by a judicious estimate of planetary strengths. ===== стр 110 ===== CHAPTER XI SUMMARY Shadbala comprises of six sources of strength, namely Sthanabala, Digbala, Kalabala, Chestabala, Naisargikabala and Drikba1a. I. Sthanabala (0 Oochchabala : The distance between the planet's longitude and its debilitation point, divi- ded by 3, gives its exaltation strength or oochcha- bala. I (ii) Sapthavargajabala: This is the strength of a planet due to its residence in the seven sub-divisions according to its relation with the dispositor. (iii) Ojayugmarasibala: In odd Rasi and Nav- amsa, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn get strength and the rest in even signs. (iv) Kendrabala: Planets in Kendras get 60 shashtiamsas; in Panapara 30, and in Apoklima 15. (v) Drekkanabala : The Sun, Jupiter and Mars in the 1st ; Saturn and Mercury in the 2nd ; and the Moon and Venus in the last Drekkana, get full strength of 60 shashtiamsas. ===== стр 111 ===== 106 Graha and Bhava Balas II. Digbala Jupiter and Mercury are strong in Lagoa (Ascen- dant), ·the Sun and Mars in the 10th, Saturn in the 7th and the Moon and Venus in the 4th. The opposite houses are weak ,points. Divide the distance between the longitude of the planet and its depression point by 3. Quotient is the strength. III. Kalabala (0 Nathonnathaba/a : Midnight to midday, the Sun, Jupiter and Venus gain strength propor- tionately till they get maximum at zenith. The other planets, except Mercury, a,re gaining strength from midday to midnight proportionately. In the same way, Mercury is always strong and gets 60 shashti- amsas. (ii) Pakshabala : When the Moon is waxing, take the distance from the Sun to the Moon and divide it by 3. The quotient is the Pakshabala. When the Moon is waning, take the distance from the Moon to the Sun, and divide it by 3 for assess- ing Pakshabala. Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are strong in Sukla Paksha and the others in Krishna Paksha. (iii) Thribhag_abala: Mercury, the Sun and Saturn get 60 shashtiamsas each, during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd one-third positions of the day, res- pectively. The Moon, Venus and Mars govern the ===== стр 112 ===== Summary 10/ 1st, 2nd and 3rd one-third portion of the night respectively. Jupiter is always strong and gets 60 shashtiamsas of strength. (ivto vi) Varsha_,Masa_,DinaandHorahala :From the_ Ahargana table given on pages 110-111 find out the number of days passed from the epoch date to the birth date. Then work out year-lord, month- lord, weekday-lord and the hour-lord. They get 15, 30, 45 and 60 shashtiamsas of strength respectively. (vii) Ayanabala : All planets get 30 shashti- amsas at the equator. For the Sun, Jupiter, Mars and Venus add proportionately when they are ln northern course and for the Moon and Saturn when in southern course. Deduct proportionately when they are in the opposite direction. Unit of strength is 60 shashtiamsas. (ix) Yuddhabala: All planets excepting the Sun and the Moon enter into war when two planets are in the same degree. The planet having the lesser longitude is the winner. Find out the sum total of the Sthanabala, Kalabala and Digbala of these two' planets. Difference between the two, divided by the difference of their diameters of its disc, gives the Yuddhabala.
