Ch. 97. Conclusion

Ch. 1. The Creation

I prostrate before the lotus-feet of Lord Vighneswara, offspring of Uma, the cause of

destruction of sorrow, who is served by Mahabhutas (the five great elements of the universe)

etc., who has the face of a tusker and who consumes the essence of Kapittha and Jambu

fruits.

1-4. Offering his obeisance to all-knowing Maharishi Parasar and with folded hands, Maitreya

said: “O venerable Maharishi, Jyotish, the supreme limb of the Vedas, has three divisions, viz.

Hora, Ganita and Samhita. Among the said three divisions Hora, or the general part of Jyotish

is still more excellent. I desire to know of its glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me,

how this Universe is created? How does it end? What is the relationship of the animals, born

on this earth, with the heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately”

5-8. Maharishi Parasar answered. O Brahmin, your query has an auspicious purpose in it for

the welfare of the Universe. Praying Lord Brahma and Sri Sarasvati, his power (and consort)

and Surya, the leader of the Grahas and the cause of Creation, I shall proceed to narrate to

you the science of Jyotish, as heard through Lord Brahma. Only good will follow the teaching

of this Vedic Science to the students, who are peacefully disposed, who honour the preceptors

(and elders), who speak only truth and are godfearing. Woeful forever, doubtlessly, will it be to

impart knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a heterodox and to a crafty person.

9-12. Sri Vishnu, who is the Lord (of all matters), who has undefiled spirit, who is endowed

with the three Gunas, although he transcends the grip of Gunas (Gunatita), who is the Author

of this Universe, who is glorious, who is the Cause and who is endowed with valour, has no

beginning. He authored the Universe and administers it with a quarter of his power. The other

three quarters of Him, filled with nectar, are knowable only to the philosophers (of maturity).

The Principal Evolver, who is both perceptible and imperceptible in Vasudeva. The

Imperceptible part of the Lord is endowed with dual powers, while the Perceptible with triple

powers.

13-15. The three powers are Sri Shakti (Mother Lakshmi) with Sattva-Gun, Bhu Shakti

(Mother-Earth) with Rajo-Gun and Nil Shakti with Tamo-Gun. Apart from the three, the fourth

kind of Vishnu, influenced by Sri Shakti and Bhoo Shakti, assumes the form of Shankarshan

with Tamo-Gun, of Pradyumna with Rajo-Gun and of Anirudh with Sattva-Gun.

16-17. Mahatatwa, Ahamkar and Ahamkar Murti and Brahma, are born from Shankarshan,

Pradyumna and Anirudh, respectively. All these three forms are endowed with all the three

Gunas, with predominance of the Gun due to their origin.

18-19. Ahamkar is of three classes, i.e. with Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic dispositions. Divine

class, sensory organs and the five primordial compounds (space, air, fire, water and earth)

are, respectively, from the said three Ahamkaras.

Brihatparāśarahorāśāstra

20. Lord Vishnu, coupled with Sri Shakti, rules over the three worlds. Coupled with Bhoo

Shakti, He is Brahma causing the Universe. Coupled with Neel Shakti, He is Shiva, destroying

the Universe.

21-24. The Lord is in all beings and the entire Universe is in Him. All beings contain both

Jivatma and Paramatmansas. Some have predominance of the former, while yet some have

the latter in predominance. Paramatmans is predominant in the Grahas, viz. Surya etc. and

Brahma, Shiva and others. Their powers, or consorts too have predominance of

Paramatmans. Others have more of Jivatmans.

Ch. 2. Great Incarnations

1. Maitreya: “O Maharishi Parasar, are the incarnations of Vishnu, viz. Sri Ram, Sri Krishn

etc., endowed with Jivans?

2. Maharishi Parashar: “O Brahmin, the four incarnations, viz. Ram, Krishn, Narasimh and

Varah are wholly with Paramatmans. The other incarnations (than these, out of the ten) have

in them Jivans too.

3-4. The unborn Lord has many incarnations. He has incarnated, as the 9 (Nava) Grahas to

bestow on the living beings the results due to their Karmas. He is Janardan. He assumed the

auspicious form of Grahas to destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine beings.

5-7. From Surya the incarnation of Ram, from Candr that of Krishn, from Mangal that of

Narasimh, from Budh that of Buddha, from Guru that of Vaman, from Sukr that of Parashuram,

from Sani that of Kurma (Tortoise), from Rahu that of Varah (Pig) and from Ketu that of Meen

(Fish) occurred. All other incarnations than these also are through the Grahas. The beings

with more Paramatmans are called divine beings.

8-13. The beings with more Jivatmans are (mortal) beings. The high degree of Paramatmans

from the Grahas, viz. Surya etc. did incarnate, as Ram, Krishn etc. After completing the

mission, the Paramatmansas (of the respective) Grahas again merge (in the respective)

Grahas. The Jivatma portions from the Grahas take births, as human beings and live their

lives according to their Karmas and again merge in the Grahas. And at the time of Great

Destruction the Grahas as well merge in Lord Vishnu. The one, who knows of all these, will

become versed in the knowledge of the past, present and future. Without a knowledge of

Jyotish these cannot be known. Hence, everyone should have a knowledge of Jyotish,

particularly the Brahmin. The one, who, devoid of knowledge of Jyotish, blames this Vedic

Science will go to the hell called ‘Raurava’ and will be reborn blind.

Ch. 3. Grah Characters and Description

1. Maitreya: “O Maharishi, you have affectionately explained about the incarnations of Grahas.

Now kindly detail their characters and dispositions.

2-3. Parasar: “O Brahmin, listen to the account of placement of the heavenly bodies. Out of

the many luminous bodies sighted in the skies some are stars, yet some are Grahas. Those,

that have no movements, are the Nakshatras (asterisms).

4-6. Those are called ‘Grahas’, that move through the Nakshatras (or stellar mansions) in the

zodiac. The said zodiac comprises of 27 Nakshatras commencing from Ashvini. The same

area is divided in 12 parts equal to 12 ‘Rasis’ commencing from Mesh. The names of the

Grahas commence from Surya. The Rasi rising is known, as ‘Lagn’. Based on Lagn and the

Grahas, joining and departing from each other, the native’s good and bad effects are

deducted.

Addition from Santhanam till Sloka 7. The names of the 27 Nakshatras are Ashvini, Bharani,

Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Aslesha, Magha, Purvaphalguni,

Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishaka, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Purvashadh,

Uttarashadh, Shravana, Dhanishtha, Satabhisha, Purvabhadra, Uttarabhadra, Revati.

Lagn is a very important point in the horoscope. It is the Rasi, that rises in the East, on the

latitude of birth. The apparent rising of a Rasi is due to the rotation of the earth on its own axis

at a rate of motion, causing every degree of the zodiac seemingly ascend on the eastern

horizon.

Approximately, two hours are required for a Rasi to pass via the horizon, thereby every

degree taking four minutes to ascend. This duration, however, is actually dependent on the

concerned latitude.

Actually Surya has no motion. His motion is an apparent one, as viewed from the rotating

earth. Other Grahas, including the nodes, have varied rates of motion. The average daily

motions of the Grahas, which are not, however standard, are, as follows: Surya 1, Candr 13-

15, Mangal 30-45’, Budh 65-100’, Sukr 62-82’, Guru 5-15’, Sani 2’, Rahu/Ketu 3’.

With such different motions, a Grah forms various Drishtis with others. These Drishtis through

longitudinal distances have a great deal of utility in Jyotish. This is what Maharishi Parashar

suggests to be considered.

Brihatparāśarahorāśāstra

7. Details (of astronomical nature) of stars have to be understood by general rules, while I

narrate to you about the effects of Grahas and Rasis.

8-9. The positions of the Grahas for a given time be taken, as per Drikganit. And with the help

of Rasi durations, applicable to the respective places, Lagn at birth should be known. Now, I

tell you about the castes, descriptions and dispositions of the Grahas.

10. Names of Grahas. The names of the nine Grahas, respectively, are Surya, Candr, Mangal,

Budh, Guru, Sukr, Sani, Rahu and Ketu.

11. Benefics and Malefics. Among these, Surya, Sani, Mangal, decreasing Candr, Rahu and

Ketu (the ascending and the descending nodes of Candr) are malefics, while the rest are

benefics. Budh, however, is a malefic, if he joins a malefic.

Addition from Santhanam till Sloka 12-13. When Candr is ahead of Surya, but within 120, she

has medium strength. Between 120 to 240 she is very auspicious,( see ‘Atishubhapred’). From

240 to 0 she is bereft of strength. This is Yavanas’ view, vide P. 70 of my English Translation

of Saravali. This view is, however, related to Candr’s strength, or otherwise, while waning

Candr (Krishna Paksh, dark half) is a malefic and waxing Candr (Shukla Paksh, bright half) is

a benefic. Should Candr be Yuti with a benefic, or receiving a Drishti from a benefic, she turns

a benefic, even if in a waning state. As regards Budh, we have clear instructions from

Maharishi Parashar, that he becomes a malefic, if he joins a malefic. If waning Candr and

Budh are together, both are benefics.

12-13. Grah governances. Surya is the soul of all. Candr is the mind. Mangal is one’s

strength. Budh is speech-giver, while Guru confers Knowledge and happiness. Sukr governs

semen (potency), while Sani denotes grief.

14-15. Grah cabinet. Of royal status are Surya and Candr, while Mangal is the Army chief.

Prince-apparent is Budh. The ministerial Grahas are Guru and Sukr. Sani is a servant. Rahu

and Ketu form the Grah Army.

16-17. Complexions of Grahas. Surya is blood-red. Candr is tawny. Mangal, who is not very

tall is blood-red, while Budh’s hue is akin to that of green grass. Tawny, variegated and dark

are Guru, Sukr and Sani in their order.

18. Deities of Grahas. Fire (Agni) (?), Water (Varuna), Subrahmanya (Lord Shiva’s son,

following Ganesh), Maha Vishnu, Indra, Shachi Devi (the consort of Lord Indra) and Brahma

(?) are the presiding deities of the 7 Grahas in their order.

19. Gender of the Grahas. Budh and Sani are neuters. Candr and Sukr are females, while

Surya, Mangal and Guru are males.

20. Primordial compounds. The Panchabhutas, space, air, fire, water and earth, are,

respectively, governed by Guru, Sani, Mangal, Sukr and Budh.

21. Castes of Grahas. Guru and Sukr are Brahmins. Surya is a royal Grah, while Candr and

Budh belong to commercial community. Sani rules the Sudras (4 th caste).

22. Sattvic Grahas are the luminaries and Guru, Sukr and Budh are Rajasik, while Mangal and

Sani are Tamasic.

23. Description of Surya. Surya’s eyes are honey-coloured. He has a square body. He is of

clean habits, bilious, intelligent and has limited hair (on his head).

24. Description of Candr. Candr is very windy and phlegmatic. She is learned and has a round

body. She has auspicious looks and sweet speech, is fickle-minded and very lustful.

25. Description of Mangal. Mangal has blood-red eyes, is fickle-minded, liberal, bilious, given

to anger and has thin waist and thin physique.

26. Description of Budh. Budh is endowed with an attractive physique and the capacity to use

words with many meanings. He is fond of jokes. He has a mix of all the three humours.

27. Description of Guru. Guru has a big body, tawny hair and tawny eyes, is phlegmatic,

intelligent and learned in Shastras.

28. Description of Sukr. Sukr is charming, has a splendourous physique, is excellent, or great

in disposition, has charming eyes, is a poet, is phlegmatic and windy and has curly hair.

29. Description of Sani. Sani has an emaciated and long physique, has tawny eyes, is windy

in temperament, has big teeth, is indolent and lame and has coarse hair.

30. Description of Rahu and Ketu. Rahu has smoky appearance with a blue mix physique. He

resides in forests and is horrible. He is windy in temperament and is intelligent. Ketu is akin to

Rahu.

31. Primary ingredients (or Sapth Dhatus). Bones, blood, marrow, skin, fat, semen and

muscles are, respectively, denoted by the Grahas: Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr

and Sani.

Brihatparāśarahorāśāstra

32. Abodes of the Grahas. Temple, watery place, place of fire, sport-ground, treasure-house,

bed-room and filthy ground: these are, respectively, the abodes for the seven Grahas from

Surya onward.

33. Grah periods. Ayan, Muhurta, a day (consisting day and night), Ritu, month, fortnight and

year: these are the periods allotted to the Grahas from Surya to Sani.

34. Tastes of the Grahas. Pungent, saline, bitter, mixed, sweet, acidulous and astringent are,

respectively, tastes lorded by Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr and Sani.

35-38. Strengths of Grahas. Strong in the East are Budh and Guru. Surya and Mangal are so

in the South, while Sani is the only Grah, that derives strength in the West. Candr and Sukr

are endowed with vigour, when in the North. Again, strong during night are Candr, Mangal and

Sani, while Budh is strong during day and night. The rest (i.e. Guru, Surya and Sukr) are

strong only in daytime. During the dark half malefics are strong. Benefics acquire strength in

the bright half of the month. Malefics and benefics are, respectively, strong in Dakshinayan

and Uttarayan. The Lords of the year, month, day and Hora (hour of Grah) are stronger than

the other in ascending order. Again, stronger than the other in the ascending are Sani,

Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr, Candr and Surya.

39-40. Related to trees. Surya rules strong trees (i.e. trees with stout trunks), Sani useless

trees, Candr milky trees (and rubber yielding plants), Mangal bitter ones (like lemon plants),

Sukr floral plants, Guru fruitful ones and Budh fruitless ones.

41-44. Other matters. Rahu rules the outcaste, while Ketu governs mixed caste. Sani and the

nodes indicate ant-hills. Rahu denotes multi-coloured clothes and Ketu rags. Lead and blue

gem belong to Rahu and Ketu. Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr and Sani in their

order govern red silken, white silken, red, black silken, saffron, silken and multi-coloured

robes.

45-46. Seasons of Grahas. Vasanta, Greeshma, Varsh, Sarad, Hemanta and Sisir are the six

Ritus (or seasons), respectively, governed by Sukr, Mangal, Candr, Budh, Guru and Sani.

Rahu and Ketu denote 8 months and 3 months, respectively.

47. Dhatu, Mool and Jiva Divisions. Dhatu Grahas are Rahu, Mangal, Sani and Candr, while

Surya and Sukr are Mula Grahas. Budh, Guru and Ketu rule Jivas.

48. Age. Out of all the Grahas Sani is the eldest. He bestows maximum number of years in

Naisargik Dasha.

49-50. Exaltation and Debilitation. For the seven Grahas, from Surya on, the exaltation Rasis

are, respectively, Mesh, Vrishabh, Makar, Kanya, Kark, Meen and Tula. The deepest

exaltation degrees are, respectively, 10, 3, 28, 15, 5, 27 and 20 in those Rasis. And in the

seventh Rasi from the said exaltation Rasi each Grah has its own debilitation. The same

degrees of deep exaltation apply to deep fall.

51-54. Additional Dignities. In Simh the first 20 degrees are Surya’s Mooltrikon, while the rest

is his own Bhava. After the first 3 degrees of exaltation portion in Vrishabh, for Candr, the rest

is her Mooltrikon. Mangal has the first 12 degrees in Mesh, as Mooltrikon with the rest therein

becoming simply his own Bhava. For Budh, in Kanya the first 15 degrees are exaltation zone,

the next 5 degrees Mooltrikon and the last 10 degrees are own Bhava. The first one third of

Dhanu is the Mooltrikon of Guru, while the remaining part thereof is his own Bhava. Sukr

divides Tula into two halves keeping the first, as Mooltrikon and the second, as own Bhava.

Sani’s arrangements are same in Kumbh, as Surya has in Simh.

55. Natural Relationships. Note the Rasis, which are the 2 nd , 4 th , 5 th , 8 th , 9 th and 12 th from

the Mooltrikon of a Grah. The Grahas ruling such Rasis are its friends, apart from the Lord of

its exaltation Rasi. Lords other than these are its enemies. If a Grah becomes its friend as

well, as its enemy (on account of the said two computations), then it is neutral, or equal.

56. Temporary Relationships. The Grah, posited in the 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th , 10 th , 11 th , or the 12 th

from another, becomes a mutual friend. There is enmity otherwise. (This applies to a given

Janm Kundali)

57-58. Compound Relationship. Should two Grahas be naturally and temporarily friendly, they

become extremely friendly. Friendship on one count and neutrality on another count make

them friendly. Enmity on one count combined with affinity on the other turns into equality.

Enmity and neutralship cause only enmity. Should there be enmity in both manners, extreme

enmity is obtained. The Jyotishi should consider these and declare horoscopic effects

accordingly.

59-60. Ratio of Effects. A Grah in exaltation gives fully good effects, while in Mooltrikon it is

bereft of its auspicious effects by one fourth. It is half beneficial in its own Bhava. Its

beneficence is one fourth in a friendly Rasi. In an equal’s Rasi one eighth of auspicious

disposition is useful. The good effects are nil in debilitation, or enemy’s camp. Inauspicious

effects are quite reverse with reference to what is stated.

61-64. Non-luminous UpaGrahas (Sub-Grahas). Add 4 Rasis 13 degrees and 20 minutes of

arc to Surya’s longitude at a given moment to get the exact position of the all inauspicious

Dhoom. Reduce Dhoom from 12 Rasis to arrive at Vyatipat. Vyatipat is also inauspicious. Add
