SANKETA EIGHT
1. The author in this Sanketa writes about Itthashala and other combinations which are useful in answering queries. Some other combinations found correct in practical experience have also been described in this Sanketa.
2. If a planet with faster movement goes ahead of another with slower motion during transit and throws a benefic aspect over it, and when planets are brilliant, the power of the faster planet is transmitted to the slower planet. This disposition is called Itthashala yoga.
3. If the faster planet is deficient by a minute in the sign in which it is placed, than the slower planet, Itthashala Yoga is complete. If however, the faster planet has travelled more than this limit, or is behind this limit, Itthashala yoga is not formed. If the faster planet travels away a degree or more than the slower one, Musaripha yoga would be formed which does not give beneficial results.
4. If there is no aspect formed between the Lord of Ascendant and the lord of house about which query has been raised and there is a planet in between them which is receiving aspect from both the planets, then this in-between planet would take away the extra brilliance from the faster planet and pass it on to one which is in front of it. This is called Nakta yoga and it is a benefic one.
5. In the case of three planets mentioned in previous if in-between planet is slower than both of the other two and is aspected by both of them, it becomes more brilliant in its rays, and by taking the extra brilliance of the quicker one gives the same to the slower one. This is called yamaya yoga.
6. When there is Itthashala yoga between the Lord of Ascendant and house to which the query relates, if Moon also forms Itthashala yoga with them, Kambula yoga is formed. The learneds are of the view that there are many kinds of kambula yoga due to varying influence of the rays of these planets.
7. Planets posited in Poorva chakra (invisible half of the zodiac) give effect which can be felt. Those in Apara chakra (visible half) are not of such nature.
8. In the case of a moveable sign, the three decanates would be in their order good, mixed and bad. In the case of a dual sign, the order would be reversed. In a fixed sign. they will be bad, good and mixed.
9-11. Success in the proposed venture would definitely result in the following combinations if there be aspect of Moon on them. 1) When Ascendant lord aspects it and the lord of house to which query relates, aspects the house concerned. 2) The Ascendant-lord aspects the house concerned and the lord of that house aspects Ascendant. 3) The Ascendant Lord posited in the house concerned aspects the lord of that house, and the Lord of that house posited in Ascendant aspects the Ascendant Lord. 4) The Ascendant lord and the lord of that house aspect each other. 5) The Ascendant lord be in Ascendant and the lord of the house concerned in that house. 6) The Ascendant Lord be in the house concerned and the lord of that house be in Ascendant and they do not aspect each other. 7) If the Ascendant lord and the lord of the house concerned be together in Ascendant or that house. 8) When at the time of query or birth the Ascendant lord and the lord of the house concerned be so associated together that they fill in the same Drekkana, same Hora or same Navamsa. In all these cases the effect would be in proportion to the strength of the planets concerned.
12. In the query chart, the subject of query would be in accordance with the indication of the planets concerned as given below: Mars-about self; Jupiter-about wife or some other woman; Moon-about mother; Mercury-about brothers; Venus-about family; Rahu or Saturn-about enemies; Sun-about father.
13. In this sloka guidance has been given to find out the subject which the querist has in mind. We should first find out who between the Ascendant lord and the 11th lord is stronger in Shadbala. We should then note the position of Moon as reckoned from the stronger planet. The querist may be said to be thinking about the matter pertaining to house in which Moon be posited.
14. The querist may have that subject in his mind which is concerned with: 1) The house with the lord of which Moon is in Itthashala yoga; 2) The house whose lord is in Itthashala Yoga with the Ascendant Lord, or 3) The house of the strongest planet among (a) Moon (b) a strong planet and (c) that occupied by the Ascendant lord.
15. If at the time of query, a strong Sun together with Mars be in quadrant or they aspect a quadrant, the querist would be thinking of a mineral. If Saturn and Mercury be both strong and posited in a quadrant or aspect a quadrant, the querist would be thinking of a plant or a root. When Moon, Jupiter and Venus be posited in a quadrant or if they aspect a quadrant, the querist would have a living creature in mind. The surmise would come out more accurately, when the quadrant happens to be Ascendant itself.
16. A-varga, Ka-varga, Cha-varga, Ta-varga, Tha-varga, Pa-varga, Ya-varga, Sha-varga, are respectively the vargas owned by Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Moon. (Moon owns Pa-varga and Sha-varga). If the first letter of query happens to be odd or even one of a group and if that group be owned by a planet owning two houses (signs) the odd or even sign of that planet should be taken as Ascendant.
17. On a cloudy day Ascendant has to be settled through the letters coming out of the lips of the querist. In any query these letters carry with them auspicious or inauspicious effects according as the letters happen io belong to odd or even group of the light groups mentioned in previous sloka. These eight groups correspond to the following eight forms; (1) banna (2) smoke (3) lion (4) dog, (5) cow, (6) donkey, (7) elephant (8) crow. Out of these banna, lion and elephant are auspicious. The even ones are inauspicious.
18. If a house has on one of its sides the Lord of the house and on the other a benefic friendly planet thus forming a benefic Durdhura Yoga and if seventh house reckoned from this house has a benefic planet not associated with a malefic, auspicious results of the house get augmented. If Jupiter aspected by Moon in Ascendant or when all the planets be in biped signs, good results may be expected.
19. If at the time of putting query, the querist unintentionally touches his thumb, ear, face, breasts, hand, nostrils, loin, shoulder, sole of the foot, temple, head, genital or lips, and talks or hears of his object. The querist would definitely meet with success in his cherished desires.
20. There are 12 Avasthas of Moon according to sign occupied by it. They are as under:
|
01) Aries 02) Taurus 03) Gemini 04) Cancer 05) Leo 06) Virgo 07) Libra 08) Scorpio 09) Sagittarius 10) Capricorn 11) Aquarius 12) Pisces |
Marga (way) Kshati (injury) Mriti (death) Jaya (victory) Hasita (laughter) Rati (sexual pleasure) Kreeda (Play) Prasupti (sleepliness) Bhuji (eating) Roga (sickness) Chain (moving) Sthira (still) |
The results of the avasthas would be according to the meanings conveyed by these words. These are useful to find out an auspicious time for undertaking a journey and for Prasna Kundalis.
21. If we count from the sign occupied by Sun up to Ascendant (Prasnn Lagna), and get an odd number, the result would be favourable; if such number be even unfavourable. Another method of finding out the result quickly is to count the number of letters emanating from the querists mouth. This number may be multiplied by 2 and product divided by 3. If the remainder be 1, it would be auspicious. The resuit would be unfavourable if the remainder be zero or 2.
22. If at the time of a query benefics be posited in quadrants and trines and the malefics in houses 3, 6 and 11 and Ascendant of the query chart falls in a Shirshodaya sign i.e. sign rising by head [Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio and Aquarius], the success in the matter under reference would be assured. Another method of finding out instantly the result of query is to Count the number of letters coming out of the mouth of the querist. This number should be multiplied by 6 and 8 be added to the product. The sum so arrived at should then be divided by 7. If the remainder is 2, 4, 5 or 6. rood and favourablc results (success in undertaking under reference or consideration) should be declared by the Astrologer.
23. If there be malefics in houses 6, 7 and g from prasna lagna the querist would suffer loss of wealth, distress, would suffer from diseases and on account of enemies also. If the lord of prasna lagna be associated with malefics then also the results would be the same and the native would lost peace of mind.
24. If at the time of query whether marriage would take place or not, a strong Moon be posited in 7th. 6th, 2nd. 3rd, 10th, or 11th house from Ascendant, and be also aspected by 8 strong Jupiter, it should be predicted that the querist would get a beautiful girl in marriage without any effort. If, however, Moon be associated with or aspected by malefics and posited in 4th lst, 5th, 9th, 8th or 12th. there would be impediments.
25. If in a query chart, a strong Moon be posited in 7th, 6th, 3rd, 10th or 11th and aspccted by Sun, Mercury and Jupiter the native would get in marriage a very beautiful girl whom he loves very much. The same would be the result if (1) the 12th lord in Ascendant and the Ascendant lord in 12th; (2) 7th Jord and Ascendant lord exchange places; (3) If Venus and Moon be in their even or exaltation signs.
26. The querist would get a beautiful girl in marriage if either of the following combinations exists in the query chart: 1) Ascendant falls in Taurus, Libra or Cancer and is associated with or aspected by benefics. 2) Strong Moon and Venus are posited in even signs and even Nawamsas and aspect Ascendant.
27. If Moon be in 8th, 6th or 1st and malefics be posited in 7th to Ascendant or Moon, the married girl becomes a widow eight years after her marriage. If 5th house from Prasna Lagna be occupied by a malefic and it aspected by inimical planets, is also in its debilitation sign, the married girl would develop illicit relations with other men or would become barren.
28. If at the time of query, it is dark half of the lunar month and Moon aspected by malefics be in 6th or 8th house, the querist would have no marriage. If Moon and Venus be both associated with maletics the first wife would die soon after marriage. If the lord of 7th be in 12th, 6th, 9th or 1st, and associated with malefics or if the lord of 7th be in its debilitation sign and associated with malefics, the first wife would die soon after marriage.
29. If there be a query about safe delivery in the case of a pregnant woman the Janmna Rasi (the sign in which Moon be posited of the child to be born would be 5th or 7th sign from the position of Moon in the query chart. It may also be 5th or 7th sign reckoned from Navamsa sign occupied by Moon in the query chart. When Moon transits the sign owned by the lord of Navamsa, delivery may take place.
30. If at the time of query, the lords of 5th house and Ascendant be posited in even signs, the issue would be a girl. If they occupy odd signs, the child would be a boy. If the lords of Ascendant and the sign occupied by Moon be in 5th house, it is to be predicted that the foetus is safe in the womb.
31. If there be a query from a personas to when his wife would conceive, the position of Mars and Venus should be considered as Mars is blood and Venus is semen. The answer should be that conception would take place in the year when Mars and Venus with adequate strength are conjoined in 1st or 5th house. If Mars and Saturn be together in Ascendant, the foetus would be destroyed. The same would be the result if Moon be posited in the sign of Mars or Saturn and aspected by Mars or Saturn.
32. If there be a query whether the child to be born would be male or female, the answer that a male issue would be born can be given if Saturn occupies Navamsa of a biped sign. It would not be so if Saturn be in this disposition in Ascendant. A male issue would be born if Saturn be in a biped sign and aspected by a male planet. In all other cases the issue would be female. A male issue would be born if Jupiter and Sun be posited in an odd house from Prasna Lagna. If Mars, Moon and Venus with adequate strength be posited in an even house, the issue to be born would be female.
33. Another method of finding out whether the child to be born would be male or female is by ascertaing the number indicated by letters constituting the name of the pregnant woman. The number of Tithi on the date of query may be added to the name number. 15 may be added to this sum and the result devided by 9. If the remainder be even, the issue would be female; if odd, male.
34. If there be a query whether a journey would be undertaken or not, and if so when, the answer would be that the journey would be performed soon if the Prasna Lagna falls in a moveable sign owned by a benefic. Similar prediction should be made if the query be about someone coming. If Ascendant falls in a fixed sign, there would neither be a journey nor a return. If Ascendant falls in a dual sign the indication would be that there may be a journey and return. However, in all cases the answer should be in the affirmative, if a strong Moon aspects Prasna Lagna.
35. If at the time of query a malefic planet occupies 1st, 7th or 10th the results would not be favourable. If the query be as to when a person who has gone abroad would return home, his safe return may be predicted if Jupiter and Venus be in 2nd and 3rd houses. He would return very soon if Jupiter and Venus be in 2nd or 3rd. If Jupiter and Venus be in 4th and aspected by a strong Moon, the safe return of the traveller may be predicted.
36-37. Prasna Lagna falls in a moveable sign and one of the four planets-Saturn, Mercury, Venus (all in direct motion) and Sun be in Ascendant, the querist would set out on his journey soon. If Prasna Lagna falls in a fixed sign and Saturn and Jupiter occupy or aspect Ascendant, the querist would not start on his journey. The same would be the result if in the first mentioned disposition, Saturn, Mercury or Venus be retrograde in motion.
38. If there be no malefics in quadrants and no other malefic inffuence on them, the houses 11, 10 and 1 be occupied by benefics, and Moon be in 8th, the traveller who has gone abroad would safely return home and with some gain.
39. If 7th or 6th house be occupied by a planet and Jupiter posited in a quadrant, the traveller who has gone abroad, would return home. If Venus and Mercury be in 9th or 5th and Moon in 7th in a moveable sign, it should be predicted that the traveller is on his way home.
40. The traveller should be said to be ill if Saturn associated or aspected by maletics be in 9th house. The same a would be the result if Sun and Moon aspected by Saturn be in 8th. There should not be much cause for anxiety if 8th house be aspected by powerful benefics. The presence of Mercury and Venus in 8th is auspicious for the traveller but Mars and Saturn in 8th give unfavourable results.
41. The return of the person who has gone away from his home, should be predicted if the lord of 7th house from Prasna lagna be retrograde in motion. The return would be in a month in which the retrograde motion begins. Another method to determine the time of return is to take into account the distance between the strongest planet in the query chart and Ascendant. The return would be in as many months as there be signs between Ascendant and the strongest planet. The actual number of days that may elapse before the return of the traveller would be indicated by the product of the number denoting the house (counted from Ascendant) occupied by the strongest planet and 12.
42. If at the time of query Sun and Moon be in 4th, neither the traveller nor his rival would return. If Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be 4th, both the traveller and his rival would return. If Prasna Lagna falls in a fixed sign and the Moon be posited in a dual sign, the rival would return. If Ascendant be in a fixed sign and Moon in a moveable sign, it should be predicted that ill-rival would come back.
43. If at the time of query, all the planets be placed in 2nd, 3rd and 5th houses, it should be declared that the person, who has been away for a long time would return home. If benefics be posited in these houses, the lost or stolen property would be recovered. If Jupiter and Venus be posited in any of the above houses it should be concluded that traveller and his rival would come back soon. The same should be predicted if strong planets be posited in Panaphara houses (2,5,8,11).
44. If Saturn occupies 9th from Prasna Lagnn together with malefics, the traveller should be declared to be ill. If Saturn associated with or aspected by malefics be placed in 8th, the illness would prove fatal. If Sun posited in 8th, the traveller should be associated or aspected by benefics be said to have gone to other countries.
45. The return of the person away from his home or his rival would be in as many days as would be signified by the number of houses intervening between Ascendant and the house in which Moon is placed (there being no other planet between these two houses). Benefics in 2nd, lath, 1st and 5th would prove auspicious. Not Moon but a benefic in 1st would prove good.
46. Let us find out the number of letters that have come out of the lips of the querist. That number may be multiplied by 6 and 1 may be added to the product. The sum so arrived at may be divided by 7. The effects to be declared about the person who has gone away from his home would be as follows as the remainder is from 1 to 7: 1. The traveller is anxious to return. 2. He is now half way. 3 He is coming back soon. 4. He is coming back with gains. 5. He is sick. 6. He is in distress. 7. He is making efforts to come back. If the lord of the 2nd house be not in retrograde motion the traveller should be said to be quite safe.
47. Let us note the figure of the Yatra Lagna i.e. Ascendant at which the person originally started on his journey, These figures be multiplied by the number indicated by the degrees intervening between Prasna Lagna and the position of Moon. The product be then divided by 30. The quotient would indicate the exact time in days, Ghaties etc. at which the person away from home would return.
48. If there be a strong malefic in Prasna Lagna, the querist would win. If there be a malefic in 7th house, the querist would loose and put to loss. If there be a benefic in Ascendant the querist would lose. He would win if there be a benefic in 7th house. The result would be reversed if we take into account the aspects of benefics and malefics on Ascendant and 7th house. If Ascendant be aspected by benefics the result wou:d be favourable to the querist. The aspect of malefics on Ascendant would bring out unfavourable results for the querist. Similarly aspects of benefic on 7th house would be unfavourable and of the malefics favourable for him.
49. The six houses bzgnining from 3rd house from Prasna Lagna relate to the citizens of the town. If benefics be posited in these houses they indicate success to the town. The six houses beginning from 9th belong to sthayi class. Benefics placed in these houses bring success to that party. If all the bellefics occupy 1st, 10th, 7th and 9th houses, the sthayi becomes powerful and capable of destroying the enemy.
50. If Mars and Saturn be placed in 9th house there would be complete defeat for the sthayi people. If all the malefics be posited in 10th, 11th and 12th houses, there would be defeat for the sthayi people. If three benefics viz , Venus, Mercury and Jupiter be in Ascendant, they would bring about success for the sthayi class. If Sun, Saturn Moon, Rahu and Mars be all in 7th house, they would also bring about success to the sthayi people.
51. If out of five planets mentioned in the last portion previous sloka, three or more occupy Ascendant they would cause defeat and loss to the sthayi people. If they be benefics, it indicates good for these people. If these planets be placed in 10th and 4th houses, a compromise would be reached between the two parties. The same result would follow when Ascendant be in a male sign or benefic be posited in 1st, 11th and 12 the houses. If malefics be posited in quadrants in dual signs, there would be declaration of war.
52. If there be a query about success or defeat, and Ascendant be Aries Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Scorpio or Aquarius success may be predicted for the querist. This result would become more definite when a strong benefic occupies or aspects Ascendant.
53. If at the time of query about the theft of an article Prasna Lagna and Navamsa fall in a fixed sign, it should be predicted that the article has been stolen by some relation of the querist who is in the same house or living nearby and not by an outsider and that the article is hidden at some place in the house or near it. If Ascendant and Navamsa fall in a moveable sign it should be said that the article has been stolen by a person not related to the querist but known to him and it has been taken away to a. distant place. If Ascendant and Navamsa fall in a dual sign, the prediction should be that the theft has been committed by an outsider not unknown to the querist and has been kept at a place which is neither far nor near. The direction of the place where the stolen property has been kept would be signified by the position of Moon i.e. if Moon be in Ascendant it would be east; if in 10th it would be south; if in 7th it would be west and if in 4th it would be north.
54. If at the time of query, Ascendant receives aspect from Sun and Moon, the thief would be a re!ntion of the querist. If the lords of Ascendant and 7th house be in Ascendant the thief would be a member of the family of the querist. If the lord of 7th be posited in 12th or 3rd house, the thief would be a paid servant living near by. If at the time of the query the querist stretches out his hand the thief should be said to be a person not connected with his family. If he keeps his hands down, the thief would be one belonging to the family of the querist.
55. If at the time of query Ascendant falls in a moveable sign, the name of the thief would be made up of two letters; if Ascendant he in a fixed sign, the name would be of four letters and if Ascendant be in a dual sign, the name would contain three letters. If the lord of 7th be posited in its own or exaltation sign, the thief would be an expert one. The age, caste, birth etc. of the thief would be similar to that declared for the lord of Ascendant.
56. The stolen article would be recovered if any of the following combination exists in the query chart: 1) Full Moon with adequate strength be in Ascendant aspected by Jupiter and Venus. 2) Ascendant falls in a Sheershodaya sign with a benefic posited in it. 3) 3rd, 2nd nnd 1 Ith houses from Prasna Lagna are occupied by benefics. 4) Benefics are posited in 4th, 7th and 10th houses.
57. Gains of wealth are given by the lord of 11th and the lord of ascendant is the beneficiary there would be abundant gains of wealth if the lords of Ascendant and 11th be together and receive aspect of Moon. The direction from which gains may be expected would depend on the strongest planet posited in a quadrant or the direction signified by the sign of Ascendant. The form, appearance etc. may be ascertained through the Drekkana in which Ascendant falls at the time of the query.
58-60. All the cherished desires of the querist would be fulfilled if the lords of 10th and Ascendant possess adequate strength and Moon with similar strength be related to the stronger between the above two planets. To assertain the time limit for the fulfilment of desires the longitude of Sun may be deducted from the longitude of Moon. Then we may find out the star indicated by the remainder and add 1 star to this and the number in days assigned to that particular star in the statement given below for the 27 stars reckoned from Aswini. Another method of finding out the time limit is as follows. The longitude of Ascendant may be deducted from the longitude of 10th house. If the longitude of 10th be smaller, 12 signs may be added to it. The remainder should b- converted into degrees and be trebled. The result should be divided by 60. The remainder would indicate the number of days for the accomplishment of the object in case Ascendant be in a moveable sign. If Ascendant be in a fixed sign, the number got above should be doubled. If in a dual sign, the number should be trebled.
61. Another method of calculating the time is as follows: The number of Navamsas that have risen in Ascendan would denote the period required, the unit of time taken being Ayana that year Kshana, Second Dina Day, Ritu Season Masa Month, Paksha fortnight and Abda year, according as the lord of Navamsa in question happens to be Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn respectively. That is, if Leo be the rising Navamsa, that time indicated would be four Ayanas and odd or a period between 24 and 30 months and soon. Or, it would be as many units as measured by the number of Navamsas traversed by the lord of rising Navamsa from Ascendant Navamsa, the unit taken being the one appropriate to the planet owning the rising Navamsa.
62. Thus is completed the Prasna Sanketa, the 8th one of the Sanketanidhi, a work written by Shri Ram Dayalu the Astrologer for the benefit of Shri Ghasi Ram Sharma the son of his eldest brother.
End of Sanketa Eight
SANKETA NINE
1. If at the time of query, Ascendant falls in the Hora of Sun, the querist would not enjoy happiness in his childhood. Later by his own efforts he would get a lift in life and become wealthy. If Ascendant falls in the Hora of Moon, the querist would be happy in his childhood and face difficulties in his later life.
2. If the lord of Hora in which Ascendant falls at the time of query, be associated with a malefic and a retrograde planet, the eyes and face of the querist would not be good looking. He would have an ugly face with deformed teeth, tongue, lips etc. if Sun and Moon together or Moon saparately be under the influence of two malefics.
3. The figure signified by the sign occupied by the Lord of Drekkana (Decanade) in which Ascendant falls at the time of query, would indicate the number of brothers the querist would have. If this lord of Drekkana be associated with or aspected by benefic, the brothers would be longlived, otherwise their longevity would be poor. The relationship amongst the brothers would depend on the nature of planet or planets associated with above mentioned lord of Drekkana.
4. If the lord of drekkana be associated with male benefic planets, the querist would be having brothers, if the planet be male, sister. If Ascendant falls in a male sign, brothers would be born after him, if it falls in a female sign sisters would be born. If the lord of Ascendant and the lord of Drekkana in which Ascendant falls be friends, there would be happiness in respect of brothers and sisters. If the Lord of the Drekkana be in 6th or 8th house, from the Lord of Ascendant brothers and sisters would suffer from injuries on account of their own deeds.
5. If the lord of Drekkana in which Ascendant falls at the time of query be in 6th or 8th house and associated with a malefic, the querist would die as a result of falling stone or tree If he survives, he would be hated by his relations. If the above lord of Drekknna be associated with a waning Moon and a malefic, the body of the querist would be fully hairy or he may suffer from some disrase of the ear or may have some trouble in his back.
6. If the said lord of Drekkana be posited in 8th house with Sun and Mars who have adequate strength, the native would die through lightening or sun-stroke. If the said lord be associated with Venus and Jupiter, the native would meet his death by poisoning. If the Drekkana lord be in 6th, there would be a mark or spot in the hands of the native.
7. Similar conclusions may be arrived at with regard to the natives, or querists family, brothers, relations etc., through the malefics occupying the corresponding decanates. It is through the 22nd decanate reckoned from the rising one or through its lord that the death of the person concerned and its nature should be determined.
8. The birth of male issue and his happiness or prosperity should be predicted if Saptamsa in which Ascendant falls at the time of birth or query be an odd one and be occupied by or aspected by benefics. The same would be combination for a female issue if Saptamsa of Ascendant falls in an even sign. There would be no issue if the rising Saptamsa be under malefic influence. This is what the wise men say.
9. The native or querist would have the good fortune to get a beautiful girl with very fine qualities as his life partner, if the lord of Navnmsa in which Ascendant falls at the time of birth or query, occupies the Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa of its own or if it be associated with or aspected by benefic planets with adequate strength and without any malefic influence.
10. Of the lord of Navamsa in which Ascendant falls at the time of the birth or query be a. benefic one and posited in a quadrant, the marriage of the native or quetist would take place at the age of 16 (we should say at an early age). If the lord of such Navamsa be in a trine the marriage would take place at the age of 25. If Navamsa of Ascendant or Navamsa of 7th house be associated with a malefic planet, the native or querist would not enjoy marital happiness.
11. The native or the querist would have the same good fortune and prosperity as his father, if at birth or at the time of query the lord of Dwadasamsa in which Ascendant falls, occupies Ascendant. If such lord of Dwadasamsa be in 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native and his parents would not enjoy bodily happiness. If the lord of such Dwadasamsa be posited in llth, the native would get and enjoy the hidden wealth of his parents. It would not be so if such planet be in its debilitation sign, eclipsed or malefic.
12. If the lord of the Trimsamsa in which Ascendant falls at the time of birth or query, be a malefic planet, eclipsed or in its sign of debilitation, the native would have misunderstanding with his relations. If such lord of Trimsamsa be in the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the native may earn the displeasure of the King/Government. If such planet be associated with a benefic the native would enjoy happiness in every way.
13-14. Information about the following matters is ascertained from various planets as under: Sun-Ownself, vitality, influence, father, etc. Moon-Leanings of the heart, mind, understanding, royal favour, mother, wealth. Mars-Own courage, mother, characteristic qualities, lands and happiness. Mercury-Intelligence, speech, religious act, scientific knowledge, and good or bad bringing up. Jupiter-Own lands, wealth, clothes physical development children, fame, horses etc. Venus-Ones kept women, wife, sexual power, conveyance, enjoyment and marriage. Saturn-Longevity, livelihood, distress and adversity. Predictions should be made by a well-versed astrologer after carefully and intelligently assessing the strength of respective planets, and several effects they are capable of producing which have been described above. However, it should be kept in mind that Saturn is capable of giving bad results when strong, as compared to other planets.
15-20. In these slokas the author gives a description of his family tree. There lived a famous scholar named Satee Ram who was born in the most respected Gangarha family. He was like Moon of the ocean. He commanded the respect of the Brahmins and the King. Even the great nobles of the time touched his feet out of reverence for him. Satee Ram had a son named Jyoteeraya who was famous for his good qualities and rose to high status and was recognised for his knowledge and was respected by learned men. Jyoteeraya had a son named Kripa Ram who was learned like his ancestors and was respected by both the rich and the poor. He was capable of solving intricate problems posed by the scholars. Kripa Ram had a son named Jaspati Sharma who was also very learned in shastras. He was inclined towards righteous action and was devoted to God Shiva and Goddess Durga. Jaspati Sharma had four sons. The eldest of these sons was Ameer Chandra who died in the life time of his father. The son younger to him was Vazir Chandra who was second to none in fame and was a leader amongst the learned men. Vazir Chandras next younger brother was Musaddi Ram who was greatly devoted to Lord Vishnu. The youngest of the brothers was Shri Rama Dayalu who lived in Amritsar. He was a devotee of Shiva, a staunch Advatin and foremost amongst scholars. He composed this work Sanketanidhi-a treasure of indications in Vikram Samvat, 1917 (1860 A.D.)
This auspicious work consisting of nine Sanketas is dedicated with all humility to all who are magnanimous enough not to expose the fault of others and who are inclined to the service of God and so it should be read by those who are modest and humble.
Thus comes a successful end of the last Sanketa of the work Sanketanidhi, a work composed by Shri Rama Dayalu for the benefit of Ghasi Ram son of Vazir Chandra.
