Chapter 22.
Implications of Karm Bhava
One’s obtainment of wealth (i.e. one’s livelihood) is the product of his own inner nature. Such wealth is acquired through the Grahas posited in Karm Bhava counted from Lagn, Candr and Sūrya, or the respective Navamshas.
Money comes through father, mother, brother, relative, elder (preceptor), wife and low class men according to the Grah concerned be Sūrya etc., as indicated by the position in Karm Bhava from Lagn, or from Candr.
If Karm Bhava is without a Grah, then the strongest among Candr, or Sūrya should be considered. The lord of the Rāśi, in which Karm’s lord is posited may also be considered. (That is the said Navamshas will denote the kind of livelihood).
Should the lord of such Amsh be Sūrya, the person earns through fruits, trees, medicines, metals, sculpture, betting, falsehood, cheating and royal sources.
Candr’s Amsh in such case indicates: pearls, carriers run in water, husbandry, water, clothes etc., cows, buffaloes, sugar, female’s company, chanting Mantras, hymns and the like and worship of Gods.
Such Amsh of Maìgal denotes: teaching, Mantras, bravery, weapons (or surgery etc.), fire, medicines, selling in marker and through Kshatriyas (i.e. persons of royal scion).
In such Amsh of Budh, the livelihood is through: writings, drawings, literature, mathematics, bets, dancing, donations (i.e. the person will receive donations in marriages, Shraddas etc.), education and loving speech.
Should such Amsh be of Guru, the means of livelihood will be from: education, worship of Gods (i.e. temple priesthood, Mantras, Japas, exposition of Mantras, knowledge of the three periods (i.e. Jyotish), Sakunas and royal favours.
Should Śukr be the lord of such Amsh, the livelihood will be through: cows, buffaloes, horses, elephants etc., the company of women, medicines, beautification, singing etc. and one will be happy through these.
Should the said Amsh be of Śani, the source of living will be: fruits, leaves, carrying loads, labour, base men, servants, sales of grain and inferior grains (Khubhanya) (?) labour carrying loads, base deeds, sesame, salt, grains, vegetables, grass, firewood, water etc.
Should the Grah, owning the Amsh, be very strong, one will earn money effortlessly and, if the Grah owning the Amsh is in deep fall, the results mentioned will manifest in little proportion.
The Jyotishi should advise (the means of livelihood) in the direction of the country indicated (by the study of the Kundali), or the country suitable to Karm Bhava from Lagn.
The sages say, that, if the said Bhavas receive Drishti from their own lords, then, the native will earn in his own country and, if the said Bhavas receive a Drishti from, or are yuti with other Grahas, the livelihood will be in other countries.
If the lord of the said Amsh is posited in a movable Rāśi, or Amsh, the native earns even, when in other countries/places and be happy; if the lord of the said lord of the Amsh is posited in a fixed Rāśi, or Amsh, the earnings will be only in his native country and, if the lord of the Amsh is placed in a dual Rāśi, or Amsh, the earnings will be anywhere.
Should the lord of the said Amsh be in retrograde motion money will be acquired in many ways. And one’s earning will be proportionate to one’s own luck. The results have already been enumerated in full.
Even one strong benefic in Karm Bhava from Candr, not receiving a Drishti from, or not yuti with malefics, is enough to make a person enjoy fame for him and his family till the end of the Yuga. The counting applies similarly to Lagn also.
Thus ends the 22nd Ch.apter {Implications of Karm Bhava} in Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
