ADHYAYA 2-PADA 2


SU. 1.-Ravisukrayoh pranee janakaha. Out of Venus and the Sun, the
stronger will become the maraka for father.

NOTES In the previous section Jaimini has explained about the Maraka
Dasa for a person, when he would die, and which Dasa and Amsa Dasa
would kill him. I must confess here in spite of the elaborate
explanations offered for the fixing of the period of death, the system
seems to be complicated and cannot easily be grasped by the ordinary
students. Even intelligent students will have to pour long hours, and
much devotion to understand these complicated principles and fix
correctly the time of death. For determining the terms of longevity,
the other systems are no doubt hard and laborious, but it may be, they
are simpler than the one illustrated by the Maharishi in his
inimitable sutras, which cannot easily be deciphered by common men. In
this section rules are given to find out the deaths of father, mother
and other important relations.

A man's comforts and peace of mind and happiness in the world depend
greatly upon his relations, his friends and his servants. When these
are inimicable, the man certainly becomes. miserable. Ravi and Sukra
represent father in a horoscope. The stronger of the two will cause
the death of father. in general astrology Ravi and Chandra represent
father and mother respectively. Varahamihira says Divarkasukrau
pitrumatrusamgnitou sanaischarayndu nisftadwiparyayat. For persons
born during the day, Ravi and Sukra represent father and mother
respectively. For those who are born during nights Chandra. and Sani
denote father and mother respectively.


SU. 2. -Chandraarayorjanee. The stronger of the two planets Chandra
and Kuja will kill the mother.

SU. 3.-Apranyapi papadrishtah. Among the four planets Ravi, Sukra,
Chandra and Kuja whoever is weak and possesses evil aspects will cause
the death of father and mother.

NOTES Prany means strength. Aprany denotes want of strength, viz.,
weakness.


SU. 4.-Pranini shubhadrishte tatchule nidha nam matapitroh. If, among
the planets named above Ravi, Sukra, Chandra and Kuja, whoever has got
beneficial aspects, the death of father and mother must be predicted
in the Shoola Dasa-1st. 5th or 9th Rasi Dasa from the powerful planet.

SU. 5 and 6. (5) Tadbhavese spashtabale. (6) Thatchuila ityanye. If
the lord of the 8th from the lords of father and mother is powerful,
then the period of the Shoola Rasis from him will inflict death on the
father and the mother. -

NOTES This opinion is held by some writers. Two planets for father and
two for mother have been named, whoever is stronger out of these two
will have the death arranged in their Shoola Dasas.


SU. 7.--Ayushi chanyat. As deaths have to be predicted for father and
mother by their Karakas, similarly events have to be predicted for
others from their Karakas and the Shoola Dasas from them.

Rules governing the above for mother and father will also apply
similarly for other events.


SU. 8.-Arkagnayoge tadasrithe kriye lagna. meshadasayam piturityeke:
If the 12th house from Lagna falls in any one of these three signs,

Budha, death happens in the Dasa of the 5th from it.

NOTES Kriya 12, Ka 2, Ya 1= 21, inverted it denotes 12. Mesha means
5th, Ma 5. Sha 6= 56, reversed it gives 65 divided by 12, we have
remainder 5, and fifth house is meant by Mesha. Mesha in ordinary
language means Aries. But in Jaimini it has to be interpreted by Ka,
Ta, Pa, Ya sutra.


SU. 9.- yyarkapapamatradrish tayoht pitroh pragdwadasabdat. Whether
the lords of father and mother are powerful or powerless, if they have
the aspects of evil planets other than the Sun, the death of father
and mother may be predicted before the 12th year of a person's age.

stronger, predict the results from it, by the 3rd house-and the planet
who is there. If Kuja is found there, by wounds and injuries, by
weapons, by fire and by burning, he will meet death. Kuja is called
Angaraka or one who robs and injures the bodily organs or Angas,
Lohitanga or bloody planet, Ara or one who injures and burns the
limbs. Bloody diseases and blood corruption lead to many painful
complaints.

working in their proper proportions. But when any one of them is
excited beyond its normal quantity. ill--health follows in various

and: epidemic complaints such as small-pox, cholera, plague,
influenza, watery diseases or dropsy, diabetes diarrhoea, etc. Here
great margin and latitude are given to the student to use his brain,
practical knowledge and the instructions he get from his Gurus. No
principles of sciences can be explained without sutras. These sutras
are the pleasures of the learned and the pains of the ignorant. In
Sanskrit adi is used often because all the events, which a principle
governs or comprehends, cannot be explained, and if such an attempt is
ever made, it would fill volumes after volumes and there would be no
end to writing. A direction has to be shown to the intelligent student
and they should follow the same with diligence and sometimes achieve
better results than the original principle intended or conceived.
Brain power has no limit. It is able to grasp, when properly developed
and directed, the smallest and the largest objects.

from Lagna or Karaka, death will result from venereal complaints.

NOTES In the flush of passions, people commit all sorts o1 sexual
excesses and bring in their train a series of complicated and horrible
diseases, some of which are loathsome, repulsive, horrible and
excruciating. In painful tortures, the venereal complaints take a
prominent rank and punish the offenders with very serious troubles and
pains.

conjunction or aspect of many planets, then the death will come from
various diseases. .

diagnose them.

3rd from Lagna or Karaka along with other planets, death is certain to
happen from the causes named in the previous sutras.

the disruption of mind from the body and mind is represented by
Chandra. Vedas say Chandramamanasojatah. If there are many evil
planets in the 3rd, then death happens under very painful
circumstances. - But when there are many benefics in the 3rd, death
will happen after slight complaints or under easy surroundings. .

aspects or conjunctions, death will happen- in vicious or sinful
countries and places.


NOTES The commentators have interpreted Keekata Desa as Magadha and
other sinful countries. When benefics are in the 3rd, death happens in
holy places, like Kasi, Tirupathi or other places held holy by the
followers of different religions. Mohamedans hold Mecca and Medina as
holy. The Christians consider Jerusalem as holy. The Buddhists hold
Gaya as holy. The Hindus have many places declared as holy like Kasi,
Rameswaram, Jagannath, Haridwara, Tirupathi, etc. When evil planets
are in the 3rd, death happens in vicious or sinful places. There are
some places which are full of vices and sinful deeds. Death in such
places will be considered as a great misfortune. Say a man dies, near
a cess pool, in night soil, in gambling or whoring dens, or in dirty
wells or dreary forests.

Families, communities, religious sects, villages, towns, cities,
countries and nations have ebbs and flows in their fortunes, and also
in their morals and spiritualities. Sodom and Gamora were destroyed on
account of their abominable vices. We have also many examples of
destruction of these by excesses in sins and vices. It will be a
consolation to take birth in a virtuous place and in the midst of good
and pious people. It will certainly be a misfortune to be born in
dirty and sinful surroundings. To die in an agreeable place and have
the ceremonies performed as per their religious principles will be a
pleasure. To die in dirty and sinful places and be neglected after
death or the body exposed to wild animals and vultures, will be a real
misfortune which every man tries to avoid.

Sani and Rahu or Sani and Ketu are in conjunction between the 1st and
12 houses, the person will not perform the obsequies of his parents.

NOTES Lepa 1, Khapa -12, La denotes 3, Pa shows 1- 31 reversed 13,
divided by 12 we get 1, and therefore denotes the Lagna or 1st house.
Kha 2, Pa 1= 21, reversed we get 12. The performance of death
ceremonies for parents is held as a sacred duty. If a person does not
