ADHYAYA 2 - PADA 3


SU. 1.- yishame tadadirnavamamsah. If the birth falls in an odd sign,
the Navamsa Dasas commence from it.

NOTES Each Rasi Dasa contains 9 Amsas or Navamsas and each Rasi Dasa
counts 9 years. Hence these Dasas are called Navamsa Dasas. Mesha,
Mithuna, Simha, Thula, etc., are odd signs. 2.-Anya tha darsadihi. In
the even signs the Navamsa Dasas commence from the Abhimukha Rasis.

NOTES The commentators explain thus : If a movable sign is Lagna, then
the 8th Rasi from Lagna becomes the commence. ment Dasa. If Lagna
falls in a fixed sign the commencing Dasa will be the 6th Rasi from
it. If Lagna falls in a common sign, the Dasa commences from the 7th
Rasi from it. These are called Abhimukha Rasis and their explanations
have been given in the earlier sutras.


SU. 3. -Sasinandapnvnkah kramadabdajz sthziraldasayam. In the Sthira
or fixed sign Dasa, the movable sign Dasa will be 7. the fixed Dasa
will be 8 years and the Dasa of the common Rasi will extend to 9
years.

SU. 4 -Brahmadiresha. The Sthira Dasa commences from the Rasi occupied
by Brahma.

NOTES Brahma has already been explained in Sutra 47 of Pada 1 of
Adhyaya 2.


SU. 5.-A tlza pranahz. Jaimini now begins to explain the strength of
the planets and the Rasis. Prana, here as well as in the previous
sutras, means sources of strength the planet and the signs get.

SU. 6.-Karakayogah prathamo bihcrnclrmi. That Rasi or sign becomes the
strongest, which has the conjunction of Atmakaraka.

NOTES This combination is supposed to give greater strength than even
the Shadbalas recorded in the other astrological works. This is the
primary source of strength.


SU. 7.-- Saamye bh uyasa. If other sources of strength are equal, then
the conjunction of larger number of planets gives greater strength.

SU. 8.--Thathastungadih. If these sources of strength are equal, then
exaltation, friendly houses, and Moolatrikonas give them vitality.

SU. 9.-Nisargasthathah. Then the Nisarga or permanent sources of
strength must be considered.

NOTES The chara or movable signs are weaker than Sthira Rasis or fixed
signs. These are weaker than the common or Dviswabhava Rasis.


SU. 10.-Thadabhave swamin ithham.bhavah. If the Rasi has one of the
Karakadi sources of strength, then its power will be that which its
lord possesses from the associations of Karaka, etc.

NOTES The strength of the Rasi and the strength of its lord should be
taken into consideration.


SU. 11.-Agrayatto visesliath. According to the Jaimini Sutras the
planets which gets the highest number of degrees among others will
become the most powerful.

NOTES This has been already explained in the earlier portion and the
most forward planet in a Rasi becomes the Atmakaraka and most of the
results previously named are based upon his position and the relative
positions of other Rasis and planets taken with reference to him.
According to this work Atmakaraka supersedes all other planets in
power and potency.


SU. 12.-Prativesikah purushe. In the odd sign, it gets strength from
the planets who occupy the 12th and 2nd from it. =

NOTES Planets in the 2nd and  12th from themselves or from the Rasis
they occupy have special influences. The Rasi will have Kartari Yoga,
as also any planet which has on both sides evil planets. Good planets
may cause this Yoga and probably the results will be beneficial.


SU. 13.-Ithi prathamah. ' The sources of strength named in the above
sutras will be the first set of inquiry into the powers of a Rasi or
its lord.

SU. 14.-Swami gurugnadrigyogo dwiteeyah. The second set of strength
for a Rasi is derived by the aspect of its own lord, Jupiter or
Mercury.

NOTES Now he names the second set of powers which a Rasi Can Command
to its credit. Varahamihira observes thus in his Brihat Jataka : .
Horashyami Gz1rugnya yeekshitaytita Nanyaischa yeeryolkatah. The Lagna
or any Bhavava or Rasi becomes strong when it has the aspect or
conjunction of its lord, Guru or Budha, if not it will not be
powerful. This stanza of Brihat Jataka is nothing but a slavish
imitation of this sutra of Jaimini. The Maharishi Jaimini was the
author of Poorvamimamsa Sutras, Jaimini Bharata and the invaluable
sutras. I am translating. He was the disciple of Veda Vyasa and was,
therefore contemporary of that great Maharishi. I have proved by
indisputable authority that the period of Maha Bharata was more than
5,000 years from now.

There are four copper plate grants given by the Emperor Janamejaya the
son of Parikshit and the grandson of Abhimanyu, the son of Arjuna, the
great hero in that ruinous war and the recipient of the Bhagavadgita
instructions from Lord Krishna himself and written by Veda Vyasa.
Varahamihira, as per date given by himself in stanza 2 of his Brihat
Samhita, Chapter 31, lived in the court of Vikramaditya whose Era
called Samvat Nripasaka is prevalent all over India and counts now as
1988. Varahamihira says that he borrowed all his ideas of Astronomy,
Astrology and Samhita from the still more older writers and the above
quoted of his stanza certainly comes from Jaimini. Any sign becomes
strong when it has the aspect or conjunction of its lord, Guru or
Budha. Six varieties arise from this. The lord aspecting or
conjoining, it gives two. Similarly for the other two planets Guru and
Budha. This is the second source or item of strength. Aspects and
conjunctions are different.


SU. 15. -Swuminastruteeyah. The third set of strength for the lord
will be the one to be detailed below.

SU. 16.-Swatswaminah kantakadislzw--aparaclourbalyam. Those planets
who are in Kendras, Panaparas and Apoklimas from the Atmakaraka become
more and more powerless than him.

NOTES This means those who are in the. Kendras from the Atmakaraka are
powerless. Those who are in the next houses from Kendras are still
more feeble and those who occupy the next houses are worse still in
power. This represents the 3rd source of strength.


SU. 17.-Chaturthah purushe. If the lord of the Rasi falling in Purusha
Rasi (odd sign) has evil conjunctions and aspects, this will become
the 4th source of strength to the Rasi.

SU. 18.-Pitrtilabhaprathamapranyadi shooladasa niryane. Take the
stronger out of the two 1st and 7th. Then from the stronger of these
two, take the Shoola Dasas, viz., 1, 5 and. 9. Find out which of these
Shoola Rasis becomes the strongest. Then ascribe the death period to
it as certain.

SU. 19. -Pitrulabhaputrapranyadiht pitult. Putra 9, Pa 1, Ra 2 =12,
reversed it means 21 divided by 12, we have the balance 9, hence the
9th house is meant. Take the Lagna and 7th and find out the 9th houses
from them. Whichever is stronger in these two ninth houses, take that
and find out their Shoola Dasas and prescribe death to father in the
most unfavourable of these Shoola Dasas, viz,, 1, 5 and 9. _

SU. 20.-Adarsadirnmatuh. Take the most powerful in 1 or 7. Take the
4th from it and find the Shoola Dasas from it, whichever is the most
powerful among the 1st, 5th or 9th predict death to the mother in that
Dasa.

NOTES Darsa 4, Da 8, Ra 2 = 82 reversed 28, divided by 12 we have the
balance 4 and 4th house is meant here.


SU. 21.-Karmadirbhrathujt. Take the 3rd from Lagna or the 7th
whichever is stronger, and ascribe death to brothers and sisters in
the most powerful of the Shoola Dasas from it.

SU. 22. -Matradirbjhngirteeputr ryolt. Take the Lagna or the 7th
whichever is stronger and find the 5th from it. Sons and sisters will
die in the most cruel of the Shoola Dasas from the above 5th house.

NOTES How 5th can have any connection with sisters, I cannot guess.
But the sutra is clear and we have to take it in the sense he has
given.


SU. 23.- vyayadirjaishtasya. Take the 11th from Lagna or 7th
whichever is stronger, and predict death to elder brothers in the most
unfavourable Shoola Dasa from it.

NOTES - The 3rd represents younger brothers and sisters and the 11
th; the elder sisters and brothers in other works on astrology.


SU. 24. --Pitruvatpitruvarge. Take the stronger of the two Lagnas and
the 7th. Find out the 9th from it. From this take the Shoola Dasas and
predict death to paternal uncles, etc., in the evil period among them.

SU. 25.-Brahmadih purushe sama dasanthah. . It the Lagna falls in a
purusha or masculine Rasi, the Dasas or periods commence from the sign
occupied by the Brahma. The extent of the Rasi Dasa is thus
determined. Take the 6th from the Dasa Rasi. Find out the number of
the house the lord of it occupies and that number will be the extent
in years of that Dasa.

NOTES Dasa 6, Da 8, Sa 7 = 87 reversed it gives 78, divided by 12, the
balance is 6, hence the 6th house is. indicated by this figure.


SU. 26.-Stlzanavyatllikarah. When the Janma Lagna falls in an odd
sign, the Dasas commence from the Rasi occupied by Brahma in regular
order. If the` Lagna falls in an even sign, then the Dasas commence
regularly from the 7th house from Brahma.

NOTES This means in odd signs the Dasas commence from the Rasi
occupied by Brahma, and in even signs the Dasas commence from the 7th
Rasi from the sign occupied by Brahma.


SU. 27.--Papadrigyogastungadigrahayogah. The conjunctions and aspects
of malefics are a source of strength for the Rasis. So also is added
another source of strength to (the Rasi) by planets (situated there)
being in exaltation, Moolatrikona and very friendly and friendly
houses.

NOTES Jaimini now gives the fourth source of strength to the Rasis.
The conjunctions and aspects of evil planets are a source of strength
to the Rasis. The states of such planets which have aspects and
conjunctions in the Rasis will also be sources of strength, such state
are exaltations, debilitations, friendly and unfriendly houses,
Moolatrikonas. Benefics influence the Rasis by aspects and
conjunctions when they are in exaltations and other favourable
positions otherwise they do not exercise much influence, such is the
opinion of the commentators. This is fourth source of strength.

SU. 28.--Panchame padu kramat prakpratynktvam. If the 9th from Lagna
happens to be incorporated in an odd sign, take the Rasi Dasas in the
regular order. If it happens to be incorporated in an even sign, take
the Rasi Dasas in the inverse order or backwards. The commencement of
the Dasa should be from the Lagna. Ketu in these cases is considered
as a benefic.
