Ch. 33. Effects of Karakāńś

1. O Brahmin, as laid down by Lord Brahma, I now tell you about the effects of Karakāńś identical with Mesh etc. (Karakāńś is the Navāńś, occupied by the Atma Karak Grah)

2-8. Karakāńś in Various Rashis. If Atma Karak happens to be in Mesh Navāńś, there will be nuisance from rats and cats at all times. A malefic joining will further increase the nuisance. Should Atma Karak be in Vrishabh Navāńś, happiness from quadrupeds will result. Should Atma Karak be in Mithun Navāńś, the native will be afflicted by itch etc. Should Atma Karak be in Kark Navāńś, there will be fear from water etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Simh Navāńś, fear will be from tiger etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Kanya Navāńś, itch, corpulence, fire etc. will cause trouble, while, if Atma Karak is in Tula Navāńś, he will make one a trader and skilful in making robes etc. Vrischik Navāńś, holding Atma Karak, will bring troubles from snakes etc. and also affliction to mother’s breasts. There will be falls from height and conveyances etc., if it is Dhanu Navāńś, that is occupied by Atma Karak. Makar Navāńś in this respect denotes gains from water dwelling beings and conch, pearl, coral etc. If it is Kumbh Navāńś, holding Atma Karak, the native will construct tanks etc. And in Meen Navāńś the Atma Karak will grant final emancipation. The Drishti of a benefic will remove evils, while that of a malefic will cause no good.

9-11. O Brahmin, if there be only benefics in Karakāńś and the Navāńś of Lagn receives a Drishti from a benefic, the native will undoubtedly become a king. Should the Kendras/Konas from the Karakāńś be occupied by benefics, devoid of malefic association, the native will be endowed with wealth and learning. The combination of benefic and malefic influence will in this context yield mixed results. If the Upakheta (UpaGrah, vide Ch.32 Sloka 5) is in its exaltation, or own, or friendly Rashi and is devoid of a Drishti from a malefic, the native will go to heaven after death.

12. If the Atma Karak is in the divisions of Candr, Mangal, or Śukr, the native will go to others wives. Otherwise the contrary will prevail.

13-18. Effects of Grahas in the Karakāńś. O Brahmin, if Sūrya is in the Karakāńś, the native will be engaged in royal assignments. If the full Candr is there, he will enjoy pleasures and be a scholar, more so, if Śukr gives a Drishti to the Karakāńś. If strong Mangal is in Karakāńś, he will use the weapon spear, will live through fire and be an alchemist. Should strong Budh be Karakāńś, he will be skilful in arts and trading, be intelligent and educated. Guru in Karakāńś denotes one, doing good acts, endowed with spiritualism and Vedic learning. One will be endowed with a longevity of 100 years, be sensuous and will look after state affairs, if Śukr is in Karakāńś. Śani in Karakāńś will give such livelihood, as due to the natives family. Rahu in Karakāńś denotes a thief, a bowman, a machinery maker and a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions. If Ketu be in Karakāńś, one will deal in elephants and be a thief.

19-22. Rahu-Sūrya in Karakāńś. Should Rahu and Sūrya be in Karakāńś, there will be fear from snakes. If a benefic gives a Drishti to Rahu-Sūrya in Karakāńś, there will be no fear, but a malefic Drishti will bring death (through serpents). If Rahu and Sūrya occupy benefic Shad Vargas, being in Karakāńś, one will be a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions, while the Drishti from Mangal on Rahu-Sūrya in Karakāńś denotes, that the native will burn either his own house, or that of others. Budh’s Drishti on Rahu-Sūrya in Karakāńś will not cause the burning of one’s own house, but that of others. If Rahu and Sūrya happen to be in Karakāńś and are in a malefic’s Rashi, receiving a Drishti from Guru, one will burn a house in one’s neighbourhood, while the Drishti of Śukr will not cause such an event.

23-24. Gulik in Karakāńś. Should the full Candr give a Drishti to Gulik, placed in the Karakāńś, the native will lose his wealth to thieves, or will himself be a thief. If Gulik is in Karakāńś, but does not receive a Drishti from others, one will administer poison to others, or will himself die of poisoning. Budh’s Drishti in this context will give large testicles.

25-29. Effects of Drishtis on Ketu in Karakāńś. If Ketu is in Karakāńś, receiving a Drishti from a malefic, ones ears will be severed, or one will suffer from diseases of the ears. Śukr, giving a Drishti to Ketu in Karakāńś, denotes one, initiated into religious order. One will be devoid of strength, if Budh and Śani give a Drishti to Ketu in Karakāńś. If Budh and Śukr give a Drishti to Ketu in Karakāńś, one will be the son of a female slave, or of a female remarried. With Śani’s Drishti on Ketu in Karakāńś one will perform penance, or be a servant, or will be a pseudo-ascetic. Śukr and Sūrya together, giving a Drishti to Ketu in Karakāńś, will make one serve the king. Thus, o Brahmin, are told briefly the effects of Karakāńś.

30-31. Effects of the 2^nd from Karakāńś. If the 2^nd from Karakāńś falls in the divisions of Śukr, or Mangal, one will be addicted to others’ wives and, if Śukr, or Mangal give a Drishti to the 2^nd from Karakāńś, the tendency will last till death. If Ketu is the 2^nd from Karakāńś in a division of Śukr, or Mangal, addiction to other’s wives will not prevail, while the position of Guru will cause such an evil. Rahu in the 2^nd from Karakāńś will destroy wealth.

32. Effects of the 3^rd from Karakāńś. A malefic in the 3^rd from Karakāńś will make one valorous, while a benefic in the 3^rd from Karakāńś will make one timid.

33-35. Effects of the 4^th from Karakāńś. If the 4^th from Karakāńś happens to be occupied by Śukr and Candr, one will own large buildings, like palaces etc. Similar is the effect of an exalted Grah in the said 4^th. A house, made of stones, is denoted by the occupation of the 4^th from Karakāńś by Rahu and Śani. Mangal and Ketu in the 4^th from Karakāńś indicate a house, made of bricks, while Guru in the 4^th from Karakāńś denotes a house, made of wood. Sūrya in the 4^th from Karakāńś will give a house of grass. If Candr is in the 4^th from Karakāńś, one will have union with his wife in an uncompounded house.

36-40. Effects of the 5^th from Karakāńś. If Rahu and Mangal are in the 5^th from Karakāńś, one will suffer from a pulmonary consumption, more so, if Candr gives them a Drishti. The Drishti of Mangal on the 5^th from Karakāńś will bring boils, or ulcers, Ketu’s Drishti on the 5^th from Karakāńś will cause dysentery and other diseases, caused by (impure) water. If Rahu and Gulik happen to be in the 5^thth from Karakāńś, the native will be an ascetic of the highest order, or one, holding staff. Sūrya in the 5^th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a knife. Mangal in the 5^th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a spear. Śani denotes a bowman, if Śani is placed in the 5^th from Karakāńś. Rahu in the 5^th from Karakāńś denotes a machinist. Ketu in the 5^th from Karakāńś denotes a watch maker. Śukr in the 5^th from Karakāńś will make one a poet and an eloquent speaker. from Karakāńś, there will be fear from mean people and poison. Should Budh be in the 5

41-45. Effects of Karakāńś and the 5^th from there. If Guru and Candr are in Karakāńś, or the 5^thth from there, while the Karakāńś is caused by others than him, the effects, as stated, will effectively come to pass. Some say, that the 2^nd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered. thereof, the native will be an author. Śukr will make one an ordinary writer, while Budh will indicate, that the writing skills are less than those of an ordinary writer. Should Guru be alone, one will be a knower of everything, be a writer and be versed in Vedas and Vedanta philosophy, but not an oratorian, or a grammarian. Mangal denotes a logician, Budh a Mimamsaka (follower of Karma Mimansa), Śani indicates, that one is dull-witted in the assembly, Sūrya denotes, that one is a musician, Candr denotes a follower of Sankhya philosophy (of Maharishi Kapila, who enumerated 25 true principles with emphasis on final bliss) and indicates, that one is versed in rhetorics and singing and Ketu, or Rahu denotes, that one is a Jyotishi. Should Guru be related to the positions of Karakāńś, or the 5

46. Effects of the 6^th from Karakāńś. If the 6^th from Karakāńś is occupied by a malefic, the native will be an agriculturist, while he will be indolent, if a benefic is in the 6^th from Karakāńś. The 3^rd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered.

47-48. Effects of the 7^th from Karakāńś. If Candr and Guru are in the 7^th from Karakāńś, the native will beget a very beautiful wife. Śukr in the 7^th form Karakāńś denotes a sensuous wife, while Budh in the 7^th from Karakāńś indicates a wife, versed in arts. Sūrya in the 7^th from Karakāńś will give a wife, who will be confining domestic core, while Śani in the 7^th from Karakāńś denotes a wife of a higher age bracket, or a pious and/or sick wife. Rahu in the 7^th from Karakāńś will bring a widow in marriage.

49. Effects of the 8^th from Karakāńś. If a benefic, or the Grah, owning the 8^th from Karakāńś, happens to be in the 8^th from Karakāńś, the native will be long-lived, while a malefic, placed in the 8^th from Karakāńś, will reduce the life span. Drishti/Yuti of both benefics and malefics will yield a medium span of life.

50-56. Effects of the 9^th from Karakāńś. If the 9^th from Karakāńś receives a Drishti from, or is occupied by a benefic, the native will be truthful, devoted to elders and attached to his own religion. If a malefic gives a Drishti to, or occupies the 9^th from Karakāńś, one will be attached to his religion in boyhood, but will take to falsehood in old age. If Śani and Rahu, one will betray his elders and be adverse to ancient learning. If Guru and Sūrya, one will betray his elders and will be disobedient to them. Should Mangal and Śukr give a Drishti to, or occupy the 9^th from Karakāńś and are joining in six identical Vargas, a female, ill-related to the native, will die. Budh and Candr giving a Drishti to, or occupying the 9^th from Karakāńś and joining in six identical Vargas will cause imprisonment of the native, due to association with a female not of his own. If Guru is alone, related to the 9^th from Karakāńś by Drishti, or by Yuti, the native will be addicted to females and be devoted to sensual enjoyments.

57-60. Effects of the 10^th from Karakāńś. If the 10^th from Karakāńś receives a Drishti from, or is conjoined by a benefic, the native will have firm riches, be sagacious, strong and intelligent. A malefic, giving a Drishti to the 10^th from Karakāńś, or occupying this Bhava, will cause harm to his profession and deprive him of paternal bliss. Budh and Śukr, giving a Drishti to the 10^th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this Bhava, will confer many gains in business and will make him do many great deeds. Sūrya and Candr, giving a Drishti to the 10^th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this place and receiving a Drishti from, or be in Yuti with Guru, the native will acquire a kingdom.

61-62. Effects of the 11^th from Karakāńś. If the 11^th from Karakāńś receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a benefic, the native will enjoy happiness from co-born apart from gaining in every undertaking of his. If a malefic is in the 11^th from Karakāńś, the native will gain by questionable means, be famous and valorous.

63-74. Effects of the 12^th from Karakāńś. If the 12^th from Karakāńś has a benefic, the expenses will be on good account, while a malefic in the 12^th from Karakāńś will cause bad expenses. If the 12^th from Karakāńś is vacant, then also good effects will follow. If there happens to be a benefic Grah in exaltation, or in own Bhava in the 12^th from Karakāńś, or, if Ketu is so placed and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a benefic, one will attain heaven after death. One will attain full enlightenment, if Ketu is in the 12^th identical with Mesh, or Dhanu and receives a Drishti from a benefic. If Ketu is in the 12^th from Karakāńś, receiving a Drishti from a malefic, or is there yuti with a malefic, one will not attain full enlightenment. If Sūrya and Ketu are in the 12^th from Karakāńś, the native will worship Lord Shiva. Candr and Ketu denotes a worshiper of Gauri. Śukr and Ketu of Lakshmi and a wealthy person. Mangal and Ketu of Lord Subramanya. Rahu will make one worship Durga, or some mean deity. Ketu alone denotes Subramanya’s, or Ganesh’s worshipper. If Śani is in the 12^th from Karakāńś in a malefic’s Rashi, one will worship mean deities. Śukr and Śani in the 12^th from Karakāńś in a malefic’s Rashi will also make one worship mean deities. Similar inferences can be drawn from the 6^th Navāńś, counted from Amatya Karak’s Navāńś.

75-76. Miscellaneous Matters (up to Sloka 84). O Brahmin, if there are two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will have knowledge of Mantras and Tantras (formulas for the attainment of super-human powers). If a malefic simultaneously gives a Drishti to two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will use his learnings of Mantras and Tantras for malevolent purposes, while a benefic’s Drishti will make him use the learnings for public good.

77-84½. If Candr is in the Karakāńś, receiving a Drishti from Śukr, the native will be an alchemist and, if receiving a Drishti from Budh the native will be a doctor capable of curing all diseases. If Candr is in the 4^th from Karakāńś and receives a Drishti from Śukr, the native will be afflicted by white leprosy. If receiving a Drishti from Mangal, the native will have blood and bilious disorders and, if receiving a Drishti from Ketu, the native will suffer from black leprosy. Should Rahu and Mangal be in the 4^th, or 5^th from Karakāńś, the native will suffer from pulmonary consumption and, if simultaneously there happens to be Candr’s Drishti on the 4^th, or the 5^th, this affliction will be certain. Mangal alone in the 4^th, or the 5^th will cause ulcers. If Ketu is in the 4^th, or the 5^th, one will suffer from dysentery and afflictions, due to (impure) water. Rahu and Gulik will make one a doctor, curing poisonous afflictions, or will cause troubles through poison. Should Śani be alone in the 4^th, or 5^th, the native will be skillful in archery. Ketu lonely placed in the 4^th, or the 5^th will make one a maker of watches etc. Budh lonely placed in the 4^th, or the 5^th will make one an ascetic of the highest order, or an ascetic, holding staff. Rahu, Sūrya and Mangal, respectively, in these places denote a machinist, a knife user and a spear, or arrow user.

85-86. Candr and Guru in the Karakāńś, or in the 5^th therefrom denotes a writer well versed in all branches of learning. The grade of writership will comparatively descend in the case of Śukr and even further in the case of Budh.

87-92½. Grahas in the 5^th from Karakāńś. Should Śukr be in the 5^th from Karakāńś, the native will be eloquent and a poet. Guru denotes, that he be an exponent and be all knowing, but be unable to speak in an assembly. He will be further a grammarian and a scholar in Vedas and Upanishads. Śani will make one ineffective in an assembly, while Budh will make him skilful in Karma Mimansa. Mangal in Karakāńś, or the 5^th therefrom will make one justice, while Candr in Karakāńś, or the 5^th from there denotes a Sankhya Yogi, a rhetoric, or a singer. Sūrya in the 5^th from Karakāńś will make one learned in Vedanta and music. Ketu will make one a mathematician and skilful in Jyotish. Should Guru be related to the said Ketu, these learnings will be by inheritance. All these as well apply to 2^nd and 3^rd from Karakāńś and to the Karakāńś itself apart from applying to the 5^th from Karakāńś.

93-93½. Should Ketu be in the 2^nd, or 3^rd from Karakāńś, the native will be defective in speech, more so, if a malefic gives a Drishti to Ketu, as above.

94-99. If malefics be in Karakāńś, Arudh Lagn and the 2^nd and 8^th from these places, there will be Kemadrum Yog, the effects of which will be still severer, if Candr’s Drishti happens to be there. The effects, due for these Yogas, will come to pass in the Dasha periods of the Rashis, or Grahas concerned. Kemadrum Yog will operate additionally, if there are malefics in the 2^nd and 8^th from the Rashi, whose Dasha will be in currency. The results of such Yog will also be inauspicious. If the 2^nd and 8^th in the Kundali, cast for the beginning of a Dasha, have malefics, then also Kemadrum prevails throughout the Dasha.
