ADHYAYA 1 - PADA 4


SU. 1.- Upapadam padam pitraitucharat. Take the 12th house from Lagna.
Find out - its Pada Lagna or Arudha Lagna. This becomes upapada.

NOTES For ordinary Pada we take the lord of Lagna and we count again
the same number of Rasis from him as he has advanced from Lagna and
this becomes Pada or Arudha Lagna. For Upapada we have to take from
the lord of the 12th from Lagna and count again that number of Rasis
from the position of its lord and the sign which falls in that number
will be Upapada. The meaning will not be clear unless I give one or
two examples: Vrishabha is Lagna. Its lord Sukra joins Dhanus the 8th
from Lagna. Counting again the 8th from Sukra we get Kataka and this
is called Pada or Arudha Lagna (see Sutra 29 of Pada 1 ). Now we have
to find Upapada. Take the lord of the 12th from Lagna. The 12th from
Lagna is Mesha. Its lord is Kuja and he is found in the 7th from it.
The seventh from him is again Mesha and in this horoscope Arudha Lagna
falls in Kataka and it goes under the name of Pada. The Upapada will
fall in Mesha, and the results in this chapter will be predicted with
reference to Upapada.

Take another horoscope. Here calculate the Pada and the Upapada
Lagnas. The lord of Lagna is Sani and he is in the 4th from Lagna. The
fourth from him or Simha will be Arudha or Pada Lagna. Now calculate
the Upapada Lagna. Take the 12th from Lagna. This falls in Makara. Its
lord is Sani. He is in the 5th house from it or Vrishabha. Now take
the 5th from him, it will fall in Kanya. For this person Pada Lagna
falls in Simha and Upapada falls in Kanya. Take another example. In
this horoscope the lord of Lagna is Guru. He is in Mithuna or the 4th.
Count from him to the 4th ; we see that it falls in Kanya. This will
be the Pada Lagna for this native. Now take the 12th house from Lagna.
This will be Kumbha. Its lord is Sani. He is found in the 4th from
that house in Vrishabha. Count the 4th from him and it will be Simha
and this will be his Upapada Lagna.

All Lagnas and Bhavas have their Pada and Upapada and Jaimini seems to
pay great attention to Atmakarakamsa, Pada Lagna and Upapada Lagna.
Some commentators say-Upapadam Labhaditi. This means-take the 7th from
Lagna and find out the Arudha from it. This becomes the Upapada Lagna
Take the horoscope given below. Labha means. - La 3, Bha 4 - 34,
reversed it becomes 43, divided by 12, we get a remainder of 7, and
therefore the 7th house is meant by this sutra. The 7th from Lagna
becomes Kanya (see chart on p.109). Its lord Budha occupies the 6th
house from it in Kumbha. The 6th from Kumbha is Kataka. Therefore for
this horoscope the Upapada becomes Kataka according to this sutra.
Thus in this horoscope according to one theory Upapada becomes Simha
and according to the tatter upapada becomes Kataka. This makes a great
deal of difference. I have indicated the differences and Ieave the
readers to follow their own judgement; experience and personal
reading.


SU. 2. - Tatra papasya papayoge pravrajya daranasova. If the upapada
has evil conjunction or aspect or if the 2nd from it has an evil
planet, the wife will die or he will embrace pravrajya or sanyasa or
asceticism.

NOTES Brihaspathi is quoted here. If there is a malefic planet in the
Arudha Lagna from the 7th or Jamitra or an evil planet in the 7th or
2nd or Rahu is found in the 9th, the wife of the person will be
destroyed.


SU. 3.- Upapadasyapyarudhatwadeva natra ravihi papaha. If the second
from the Upapada is occupied by Ravi he does not become a malefic. .

NOTES Somehow all astrological writers have classified Ravi as an evil
planet. Jaimini says that Ravi is not an evil planet when he is in the
2nd house from Upapada.


SU. 4.-Shzubhadrigyoganna. If, in the above combinations in Sutras 2
and 3 there are beneficial aspects or conjunctions, the evil results
should not be predicted.

NOTES It means that his wife will not die or he will not take sanyasa.
The wife must die some day or other. What is meant here is that during
those evil times indicated by the planets death will not happen.


SU. 5. -Neeche daranasaha. If the 2nd from upapada falls in Neechamsa
or has the conjunction of a Neecha or debilitated planet there will
surely be death to wife in that evil period.

SU. 6. - Ucchey bahudaraha. If, in the 2nd from upapada there is an
exalted planet or the second falls in an exalted Navamsa the person
will have many wives. N OT ES I do dot know if many wives add pleasure
or misery to a person. His lust may be satisfied but he will be
miserable. I-t is a question to be solved by each man for himself.

SU. 7.-=Yugme cha. . - If the 2nd from upapada falls in Mithuna, the
person will have many wives.

SU. 8.-Tatra swamiyukte swarkshe va tadhhetazittnrayushi nirdaraha. If
the 2nd from upapada is combined by the Atmakaraka or by the lord of
that 2nd sign, the person will have no wife in the latter part of his
life.

NOTES Here the conjunction of its lord seems to act prejudicially. .


SU. 9.- Ucche thasmin,nuttamakuladdrira labhaha. . If the lord of the
2nd from upapada is found in exaltation his wife will come from a
respectable family.

NOTES Family traditions and previous histories have great influence in
social circles. .


SU. 10. - Neeche viparyayaha. If the lord of the second from the
upapada joins a debilitated sign, the case will be reversed.

NOTES It means the wife will come from a despicable or mean family.
Social stigmas are often unpleasant.


SU. 11. -Shubhasambandhatsundaree. If the second from the upapada has
beneficial aspects or conjunctions, the wife will be a very beautiful
woman. .

NOTES It is both a fortune and misfortune to have a very beautiful
wife. Her moral behaviour and the temperament of the husband should
decide this complicated problem.


SU. 12.-Rahusanibhyamapavadatyago naso va. If Sani and Rahu occupy or
aspect the second house from upapada, the wife will die or will be
rejected by the husband for social scandals.

SU. 13. -Stikrakettibhyam raktapradaraha. It Sukra and Ketu occupy or
aspect the second from Upapada the wife will suffer from bloody
discharges or blood complaints.

NOTES Females have these menstrual and bloody complaints very often
and they lead to consumption.


SU. 14.-Astisravo budhaKetubhyam. If the second from Upapada has the
aspect or conjunction of Budha and Ketu the wife of the person will
suffer from a disease wherein her bones will be melted and dropped
down.

SU.15.=Saniraviruhubhirastijvaraha. It Sani, Ravi and- Rahu join or
aspect the 2nd house from Upapada the wife will suffer from chronic or
persistent low fever.

NOTES In the Ayurvedia system, there is the Raktasrita Jwara or fever
found persistent in blood and Astigata Jwara or fever which has
penetrated to the bones and which cannot easily be eradicated. , The
first fever is milder while the second is more serious. Fever is the
monarch of all diseases and brings in its train various complications.


SU. 16.-BudhaKetubhyam sthaulyam. If the second from Upapada is
aspected or conjoined by Ketu and Budha, the wife becomes clumsily
corpulent.

NOTES I believe great corpulence and accumulation of fat in the body
of man or woman is a great misfortune. There is a limit to corpulence.
When it is unwieldy it gives great inconvenience.


SU. . 17. -Budhakshetre mandarabhyam nasikarogaha. If the second from
Upapada falls in one of the signs of Budha, viz., Mithuna or Kanya and
possesses the aspect or conjunction of Sani and Kuja, the wife will
suffer from nasal diseases or complaints of the nose.

SU. 18.-Ktijakshetre cha. If the second house from Upapada falls in
one of Kuja's houses, viz., Mesha or Vrischika and has the aspect of
Kuja and Sani, the same nasal diseases will trouble the man's wife.

SU. 19. -Gurusanibhyam karnarogo narahaka cha. If the second from
Upapada falls in any one of the houses of Kuja or Budha and has the
aspect or conjunction of Guru. and Sani, the wife will have ear
complaints and also nervous diseases.

SU. 20.-Gururahubhyam dantarogaha. If the second from Upapada falls in
any of the houses of Budha or Kuja and has the aspect of Guru and
Rahu, the wife will suffer from tooth diseases. .

NOTES In Sanskrit it is stated that four forms of diseases are the
most painful to endure, viz., Akshi= eyes, Kukshi= stomach, Sira =
head Dants = teeth. These aches are very painful.


SU. 21.-Sanirahubhyam kanyathulayoho Pangurvatarogo va. If the second
from Upapada falls in Kanya or Thula and has the aspect of Sani and
Rahu, the wife will be defective in limbs or will suffer from windy
complaints.

NOTES Ayurveda says that when the three Dhatus Vata, Pitta, and
Sleshma-are properly distributed, the body keeps good health. When any
one of them is excited, diseases appear.


SU. 22. -Subhadrigyoganna. If in the combinations given above there
are beneficial conjunctions or aspects, the evils will disappear and
bad should not be predicted.

SU. 23. Saptamamsagrahebhyaschaivam. The above results may also be
predicted by the 7th from Upapada; by the Kalatra Karakamsa and by the
lords of those houses.

NOTES This means that all the above results good and bad may be
predicted by the lord of the 7th from Upapada, and by the 7th house
from Upapada, by the Kalatra Karakamsa and also by its lord. For each
Bhava so many combinations have to be examined that astrological
predictions are not easy matters. Great devotion is needed.


SU. 24.-Budhasanisukreshwanapatyaha. If the 7th from Upapada and its
lord and the lord of the Kalatra Karakamsa and its lord-if all these
four are aspected or conjoined by Budha Sani and Sukra, the person
will have no issues.

SU. 25.-Putreshu ravirahugurubhirbahuputraha. If the 5th house from
the 7th, from Upapada, its lord, the Kalatra Karakamsa and its lord
have the aspects or conjunctions of Ravi, Rahu and Guru, the person
will have many children.

NOTES Rahu seems to exercise very peculiar influences.


SU. 26.-Chandrenaikaputraha. If in the combination given in Sutra 25,
the fifth has only Chandra's aspect or conjunction, the person will
have only one son.

SU. 27. Misre yilambatnpuitraha. If the 5th in Sutra. 25 has
combinations and aspects, both for many issues and no issues, then
predict an issue later on in life.

NOTES What the author means is, when there are combinations for many
children and no children, the person will have issues later on in
life. The problem of children is curious and various. Some beget
children very early in life and get as many as 20 or 25 by one wife.
Others get even 30 to 35 children by two or three wives one after the
other or simultaneously by several wives. There are some who get only
a limited number. Some get an issue early in life and get no more.
Some get one child in the middle of their life and there are others
who get only one child towards the close of their lives. God's
creation presents puzzles and confusion all round us.


SU. 28.-Kujasanibhyam dattaputrahu. If the 5th house, in the
combinations given in Sutra 25, has the aspect or conjunction of Kuja
and Sani, the person will have an adopted son.

NOTES I have shown the importance of children in the previous NOTES.
There are 14 varieties of children mentioned by the Hindu Law.


SU. 29.--Oje bahuputtaha. If the 5th from. the combinations mentioned
in Sutra 25 falls in an odd sign, the person will have many children.

SU. 30.-Yugme alpaprajaha. If the 5th sign in the above combinations
falls in even signs, there will be few issues.

SU. 31. - Gruhakramatkukshitadeesapanchamamsagrahebhyaschaivam. Just
as you find out from Janmalagna, particulars about children, so also
inquire into. the 5th house by considering Upapada and its lord, and
Putra Karakamsa Rasi and its lord.

NOTES In General Astrology the significations of the 12 Bhavas have
been well explained. As we take the Rasis, their lords, the planets,
who conjoin and aspect them and determine the results in reference to
them so also Jaimini advises the students to determine the various
results with reference to Upapada, its lord and the lord of the Putra
Karakamsa and the various aspects and conjunctions these houses have
as also their lords. In fact the same procedure should be adopted as
in the examination of the 12 Bhavas. Only these are taken with
reference to birth Lagna and the author says instead of the
Janmalagna, take the Upapada, its lord and Putra Karakamsa. . .


SU. 32.-Bhratrubhyam sanirahubhyam bhralrunasaha. If Sani and Rahu
occupy the 11th or the 3rd from Upapada and its lord, the elder and
the younger brothers die respectively. , . .

NOTES The 11 th house denotes elder brothers and elder sisters and the
3rd indicates the younger brothers and sisters. This is well known in
General Astrology. We take these from Janmalagna. Here Jaimini takes
them from Upapada.


SU. 33-Sukrenavyavahitagarbhanasaha: If Sukra joins the 3rd or the
11th. from Upapada and its lord, the younger and the elder brothers
will die.

NOTES I have already shown that the 3rd indicates younger and the 11
th elder brothers and sisters.


SU. 34.-Pi tnubhave sukradrishtepi. If the Lagna or the 8th house from
it has the aspect of Sukra, loss must be predicted for elder and
younger brothers. Pitru One-Pa 1, Ta means 6 =16. reversed it becomes
61, divided by 12, we get the Lagna or one. Bhava = 8, Bha stands for
4 and Va stands for 4 = 44, divided by 12, we have the remainder 8.
The commentators refer simply to Lagna and Ashtama and we have to take
them from Janmalagna. How Ashtama or the 8th has anything to do with
elder and younger brothers, cannot be traced. The Sutra is clear and
we have to take it as given by the Maharishi.

SU. 35.-Xzujagurzichandrabudhalrbahu bhrataraha. , If the 11th and 3rd
from Upapada and its lord are joined by Kuja, Guru, Chandra and Budha,
the person will have many brothers, elder and younger included. .

SU. 36. - Sanyarobhyam drishte yathaswam bhratrunasaha. ~ ' . . . If
the 3rd and 11th from Upapada have the aspect of Sani and Kuja, the
person will have his brothers destroyed.

NOTES What the 3rd has evil aspects, the younger and when the 11th has
aspects, the elder brothers will die. If both have evil aspects, then
the younger as well as the elder brothers will die. Sisters are
included in brothers. Brethren refers to those who are born with a
person, males and females included.


SU. 37.-Sanina swamatraseshascha. If the 3rd and 11th from Upapada and
its lord are aspected by Sani he person will lose all his brothers and
sisters and he will remain alone.

SU. 38.- Kethau bhagineebahti lyam. .If the 3rd and 11th from Upapada
and its lord has the conjunction of Ketu, the person will have many
sisters.

SU. 39.-Labhes1dbhagyabheh rahau damstra van. If Rahu joins the 2nd
from the 7th from Upapada, the person will have large teeth or no
teeth or will become dumb. .

SU. 40.-Kethau stabdhavak If Ketu joins the 2nd house from the 7th
from Upapada, the person will be an indistinct speaker or possesses
bad pronunciation. .He may also have stammering.

SU. 41. Mande Kuroopaha. If Sani joins the 2nd house from the lord of
the 7th house from Upapada, the person becomes ugly and repulsive.

SU. 42.-Swamsavasadgowraneelapeetadivarnaha. The colour or complexion
of the person, yellow dark, golden or white must be predicted from the
nature of the Navamsa occupied by the Atmakaraka.

NOTES Similarly Jaimini hints to find out the colours of the various
relations from the Navamsas occupied by their respective Karakas,
Varahamihira says ' Lagna Navamsapa Thulya Tariusyet. ,judge the
colour, etc., of the person by the Navamsa occupied by the lord of
Lagna. .


SU. 43.-Amaryanucharaddevatabhaktihi. Take the planet next in degrees
to Amatya. karaka and find out from him the religious tendencies of
the person, .

NOTES As per those rules the next planet in degrees to Amatyakaraka
will be Bhratrukaraka. If that planet happens to be evil, the man will
be devoted to the worship of evil spirits, if he happens to be good,
then he will worship good Gods. In the all-powerful Time are embedded
33 crores of Devatas or forces or Energies for purposes of creation,
protection and destruction. Eleven crores. of energies are under the
control of Brahma and his Spouse Saraswathi, representing a)I
education, gnana and intelligence for creative or generative
functions. Eleven crores of energies are under the rule of Vishnu with
Lakshmi, for functioning protection.

Money is needed for protection and Lakshmi's grace is wanted. Eleven
crores of forces are under the control of Mahesvara with Durga for
destructive purposes. By tapas man gets psychological energy. This
enables him to issue orders to the different forces, generative,
protective and destructive as he develops one of these three. Nigreha
and Anugreha forms are different. The education department increases a
man's knowledge ; the District Magistrate has power to offend ; the
Sessions Judge can hang a man or let him off from the gallows. The
postal man can transport news and money and small articles. The police
and the revenue have different functions. All are orders or mental
forces but each has a different functions. By keeping company with a
scavenger a man gets dirty stink. By associating with a scent merchant
he gets perfumes. All these 33 crores of energies are called Devatas
and by analogy Gods. The psychology of a person differs considerably
from others.

While one cultivates the art of charity and philanthropy, another
cultivates the art of cruelty-and destruction. In this sutra the man's
devotion is shown by the planets. When they are bad he invokes evil
spirits or forces. When good, he invokes the beneficial powers. I
refer my readers to the wilderness of Mantra Sastras. There are sapta
koti mahamantras and navakoti kshudra mantras. The former enable a
person to do beneficial actions by the help of Mahamantras or
beneficial forces. The latter enable the person to call evil powers
and do mischief to the people. We have Dakshinachera or good and
Vamachara or bad.


SU. 44.-Swaritse kevalapapasambandheparajataha. If evil planets occupy
Atmakarakamsa Rasi, the person will be born of adultery.

SU. 45.-Notrapapath. If the Atmakaraka is himself evil and other evil
planets are not with him, then the evil in the above sutra should not
be attributed.

NOTES This means he will be legitimate and born to his father.


SU. 46.-Sanirahubhyam prasiddhihi. It Sani and Rahu are in conjunction
with Atmakarakamsa Rasi, the person will become a notorious rake. .

NOTES People indulge in sexual embraces, but many do so with some
sense of honour. But there are many who are shameless in such matters.


SU. 47.-Gopanamanyebhyaha. If in the Atmakarakamsa other evil planets
than Sani and Rahu are conjoined, the person will not be born to
another's seed, but his mother will be immoral,

NOTES A person 's mother may be an immoral woman, but he may be the
product of legitimate embrace.


SU. 48.-Shubhavarge apavadamatram. . If shubha Shadwarga arises in the
Atmakarakamsa in the above-mentioned yogas, there will be scandal
about his legitimacy but he will be really born of his father's seed.
.

NOTES There will be unfounded suspicions about his birth but they will
not be true.


SU. 49.-Dvigrahe kulamukhyaha. If there are two planets in the
Atmakarakamsa, the person will become a leader in his community.

NOTES Persons, males as well as females, have peculiar temperaments.
To be a leader in his own community, family, religion, science, art,
or sect, trade or line of profession is a great ambition which they
often try to emulate. Even in vices there are leaders and
subordinates. The leader of a dacoit gang will have hundreds or
thousands of persons under him and the leadership is courted by his
followers and admirers. Take any line of work, there are leaders and
those who follow them as menials and subordinates of various grades.
In this leadership, there is much good or evil the leader can do. If
there are two or more evil planets in the Karakamsa, the person will
be cruel and sinful in his deeds. If there are benefics, we may expect
the prominence in good and virtuous ways.

End of Fourth Pada of the First Adhyaya
