“In the earlier birth he was born in the Brahmin community and this birth in Vanniar community. What is the reason for that?” The sage replies that in his previous birth, he did not like the Vedas, and hence he was born in a lower community. To such a person of character, this native was born.

Parvati asks: What is the reason for telling such fortunes for this native? Rishi replies that Jupiter is in Lagna, Venus is in the 4th house, Mars is exalted in the 10th house (Capricorn), and Ketu is in the 7th house, and thus all the Kendra houses (1, 4, 7, and 10) are occupied by planets and hence…

On Parijatha and Parvata yoga

Parijatha yoga

Phaladeepika lists the results arising out of Parijatha Yoga as below: (Sloka 55 of chapter VI)

नित्यमङ्गलयुतः पृथिवीशः संचितार्थनिचयः सुकुटुम्बी।
सत्कथाश्रवणभक्तिरभिज्ञो पारिजातजननः शिवतातिः॥५५॥

The person born in the Parijatha Yoga will always be in the midst of festivities (or auspicious ceremonies), will become a King, will become the lord of much-hoarded wealth, will own a large family, will be intent on hearing stories of great people, will be learned, and doing something auspicious.

The conditions applicable are given in sloka 44 which reads as under:

भावैः सौम्ययुतेक्षितैस्तदधिपैः सुस्थानगैर्भास्वरैः
स्वोच्चस्वर्क्षगतैर्विलग्नभवनाद्योगाः क्रमद् द्वादश।
संज्ञाश्चामरधेनुशौर्यजलधिच्छत्रास्त्रकामासुरा
भाग्यख्याति सुपारिजात मुसलास्तज्ज्ञैर्यथा कीर्थिताः॥४४॥

Bhavas being occupied or aspected by benefics, their lords occupying good house or being brilliant and, in their exaltation, or Swakshetra, constitute certain Yogas, and there are 12 such yogas for the 12 Bhavas from the Lagna onwards. Their names are in their order: (1) Chamara (2) Dhenu (3) Saurya (4) Jaladhi (5) Chhatra (6) Astra (7) Kama (8) Asura (9) Bhagya (10) Khyati (11) Suparijata (12) Musala.

So the 11th in this series is what is stated by the rishis and it is applicable to the 11th house. But in the chart of this native we find that the 11th house is not occupied by any planets and is also not receiving the aspect of any benefics. Lord of the 11th house Saturn is also placed in the 6th house and is neither in exaltation nor swakshetra. Hence the combination forming Parijatha Yoga is not there.

Dr. B.V.Raman has given a clearer explanation for this Yoga:

“The lord of the sign in which the lord of the house occupied by the Ascendant Lord, or the Lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the Rasi in which the Ascendant lord is posited, shall join a quadrant, a trine or his own or exaltation places.”

Applying this rule to this native, we find that Lord of Ascendant is Mars who is placed in Capricorn, and its lord is Saturn who is placed in Virgo. Now, the lord of Virgo— Mercury—is placed in his own sign, causing Parijatha Yoga.

The results of this Paraijatha Yoga are: Happy in the middle and last parts of life, receiving the homage of Kings and Rulers, fond of wars, possessing elephants and horses, conforming to traditions and customs, and being generous and famous.

Parvatha Yoga

Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra (R.Santhanam edition)

सप्तमे चाऽष्टमे शुद्धे शुभग्रहयुते।स्थवा।
केन्द्रेषु शुभयुक्तेषु योगः पर्वतसंज्ञकः॥७॥
भाग्यवान् पर्वतोत्पन्नः वाग्मी वाता च शास्त्रवित्।
हास्यप्रियो यशस्वी च तेजस्वी पुरनायकः॥८॥

Benefics in angles (1, 4, 7 and 10) will produce Parvatha Yoga, as the 7th and 8th are vacant or are occupied by only benefics. One born in Parvatha yoga will be wealthy, eloquent, charitable, learned in Sastras, fond of mirth, famous, splendorous and be the leader of a city.

This yoga is formed in many ways according to different classical authors:

  1. According to R. Santhanam (Translator of BPHS), there need be benefics in angles, while the 7th and 8th are unoccupied or be in conjunction by benefics alone.
  2. There is another translation of BPHS, according to which the yoga is formed in two ways: one is as per serial number 1 above; the other is that the lords of the ascendant and of the 12th in mutual angles and be aspected by friendly planets. According to R.Santhanam, this explanation is followed by Sata Yoga Manjari (English Translation by Prof. B.S.Rao).
  3. In the Hindi translation of Sata Yoga Manjari (By G.K.Ojha), it is stated that the dispositor of ascendant lord should be in his own sign or in his Moolatrikona sign which is identical with an angle or trine reckoned from the ascendant. PhalaDeepika exactly describes this yoga in this manner.
  4. In Jataka Desa Marga we find yet another explanation: If the ascendant, 4th, 7th, and 10th are occupied by planets while the 8th and 12th are unoccupied, Parvatha Yoga is formed. There is no mention of benefics or malefics in angles. That is these houses should remain occupied.
  5. Horasara has a similar explanation:

उदयास्तकर्महिबुके ग्रहयुक्ते रिःफनैधने शुद्धे।
यः कश्चिन्नवमगतो योगोऽयं पर्वतो नाम॥१९॥
पर्वतयोगे जातो भूपालो धर्मवान् विनीतश्च।
ग्रामपुरनगरकर्ता लोके श्रुतवान् युगान्तकीर्तिश्च॥२०॥

Should there be planets in the 1st, 7th, 10th, and the 4th, and none in the 12th and the 8th, while the 9th has an occupant in it, the resulting yoga is Parvatha Yoga. (19).

A Parvatha Yoga–native will rule the earth, be virtuous and modest. He will establish villages, towns and cities. He will have his fame last till the yuga ends. (20).

  • Jataka Parijata Chapter VII, Sloka 128 and 129 has the following verses:

सौम्येषु केन्द्रगृहगेषु सपत्नरन्ध्रे शुद्धेऽथवा शुभयुते यदि पर्वतः स्यात् |
लग्नान्यपौ यदि परस्परकेन्द्रयातौ मित्रेक्षितौ भवति पर्वतनामयोगः॥१२८॥
भाग्यान्वितः पर्वतयोगजातो विद्याविनोदाभिरतः प्रदाता।
कामी परस्त्रीजनकेलिलोलस्तेजोयशस्वी पुरनायकः स्यात्॥१२९॥

If benefic planets be in Kendra houses, and if the 6th and the 8th bhavas be either unoccupied or occupied by benefic planets, the resulting yoga is Parvatha. Again, if the lords of the Lagna and the 12th bhavas be in Kendra positions with respect to each other and aspected by friends, there is the Parvatha Yoga. (128)

The person who has his birth in the Parvatha Yoga will be prosperous, engaged in literary pursuits, liberal, libidinous, and fond of sporting with women not his own, full of energy, famous and at the head of a city.

  • PhalaDeepika has a different kind of Parvatha Yoga, which says that Lagna Lord in angle or trine and in own house or in exaltation house.
  • C.G.Rajan in his Tamil translation of BPHS has given two forms for this yoga: Benefics in angles and 6th and 8th. Alternately, benefics should be in angles and 9th.
  • A version of the Yavanas forms this yoga thus: The Ascendant, 7th, and 10th occupied by benefics. So simple and no more pre-requisites. Note the 4th among angles is omitted here.
  • Nrusimha Deivajna’s Jathaka Sara Dheepa is exactly like that of Yavanas:
  • Learned Dr. B.V.Raman is of the opinion that Parijatha Yoga is formed when (1) when benefics are in Kendras and 6th and 8th houses must be free. (2) when benefics are in Kendras and 6th and 8th should be occupied by benefics. (3) Lords of Lagna and the 12th should be in mutual Kendras. Under any one of the three conditions the yoga is formed. But for Aquarius Lagna the 3rd condition is not possible as Saturn becomes the Lord of Lagna as well as the 12th. In his opinion, this yoga cannot be so powerful as to minimize the strength of other important yogas. Its presence, no doubt, adds to making the person an entity within a limited circle.

Thus, there are many varieties of Parvatha Yoga.

A little charitable. Will not do harm. Will be hot-tempered. Will complete all works by perseverance. Will have a long life. One rishi objected to this and said that as the rain planet Venus is in the 4th house from Lagna and Ketu is in the 7th house, he will have two wives.

There will not be two wives. How can you say like that? Jupiter is aspecting the 7th house and Mercury is placed in his own house; so, we can say with confirmation that there will be only one wife. That wife will also die wearing her marriage symbol (the Tamil word for this is Sumangali, i.e. before her husband dies). Tell that period asked Parvati.

Native’s death and next birth

37அறுபது ஒன்பதாண்டில் ஆதிரை மாதம்தன்னில்
நிறைபக்கம் ஏகாதசி நிமலன்தன் உடலமேகும்
வரும்சென்மம் துவாரகைதன்னில் மறைகுல முதிப்பானாகும்
பிருகுமே மறித்துச்சொல்வார் புதல்வன்செய் புண்ணியமென்ன
In his 69th year in the month of Sagittarius (Margazhi – December-January), on Vaikunta Ekadasi, he will die. In his next birth, he will be born in Dwaraka in a Brahmin community. Brighu rishi objected to this and said that what are the good deeds that this native did which made him take birth in the Brahmin community.
38திருப்பணி செய்தலாலும் தந்தைசெய் புண்ணியத்தால்
மறையவர்க் குதவிசெய்தும் வளமுள தலங்கள்சென்றும்
சிறியோரா பத்தைக்காத்தும் தீரனும் வாழ்வதாலே
உரைகுவான் மறைகுலத்தில் உத்தமி கேட்டிடாயே
The dedicated work done to temples by him, the effects of the Puja done by his father, his helping nature to the Brahmins, the results of his visit to various holy places, his assistance to the persons who were in need were all the reasons for his birth in the Brahmin community. Listen! Great woman.
39புரந்திடு காலந்தன்னில் புனர்புசம் மூன்றாம்பாதம்
குருதிசை ஆண்டுஐந்தும் குலவிடும் திங்களேழும்
வரைந்தனம் பூர்வபாகம் வரைகுறோம் பின்புபாகம்
அருமறை முடிவிலாடும் அம்பிகை யாளேகேளாய்
The dasa balance at birth was 5 years and 7 months of Jupiter dasa, and his Janma Nakshstra was Punarvasu 3rd pada. This is what is to be stated in the 1st chapter. Oh! Dancing Lady! Listen.

Notes on timing of events

Balance of dasa at birth was of Jupiter 5 years and 7 months. Events stated and the dasa-antardasa period of their happenings are listed below:

Marriage

Marriage was in his 19th year. Saturn dasa will be running. The Antardasa table in Saturn dasa is given below:

Antardasa Yr Mnth Day Age
Saturn 3 0 3 8-7-3
Mercury 2 8 9 11-3-12
Ketu 1 1 9 12-4-21
Venus 3 2 0 15-6-21
Sun 0 11 12 16-6-3
Moon 1 7 0 18-1-3
Mars 1 1 9 19-2-12
Rahu 2 10 6 21-0-18
Jupiter 2 6 12 24-7-0

So at the age of 19 he will be running Sun/Moon Antardasa. Moon is the dispositor of the 7th lord Venus. 9th lord Saturn is aspecting the combination of Sun and Moon. In the 19th year the 7th house will be in operation. 7th house lord through its dispositor has brought about the marriage.

On timing of marriage

I also would like to record here my observations in regard to Aries Lagna especially with regard to the timing of marriage. I am summarizing below the Dasa-Antardasa periods when the marriages have happened for Aries Lagna natives.

As far as marriage is concerned the houses involved are the 7th, 2nd, 9th, 4th, 11th and the 12th houses. 7th house is the primary house of marriage. 2nd house is addition to family and a karaka house for marriage. 9th house is the house of baghya or fortune and is a karaka for the house of family. 4th house is a house of comfort arising out of family and owning a house and is a karaka for the baghya. 11th house is the house of gains and is a karaka for the 4th house to get the required comforts. 12th house is the house of bed pleasures and is the karaka house for begetting children indicated by the 5th house. So, all these houses, their lords, planets placed therein are all to be examined before deciding about the time of marriage. Here I am giving the Dasa-Antardasa combination of some of the planets. There might be interchange also of the dasa as well as Antardasa indicated herein.

Jupiter Dasa – Antardasas of Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Moon and Rahu.
Saturn Dasa – Antardasas of Venus, Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Rahu.
Sun Dasa – Antardasas of Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus.
Moon Dasa – Antardasas of Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Sun and Rahu.
Venus dasa – Antardasas of Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury and Rahu.

Also I have noticed that during Rahu dasa Mercury Antardasa or vice versa I have noticed that many marriages have happened.

Mother’s death

In his 41st year his mother will die. He will be running Mercury dasa at that time. The Antardasa table is given below:

Antardasa Yr Month Day Age
Mercury 2 4 27 26-11-27
Ketu 0 11 27 27-11-24
Venus 2 10 0 30-9-24
Sun 0 10 6 31-8-0
Moon 1 5 0 32-13-0
Mars 0 11 27 34-0-27
Rahu 2 6 18 36-7-15
Jupiter 2 3 6 38-10-21
Saturn 2 8 9 41-7-0

Jupiter Antardasa is from his 39th year till his 42nd year. For the 4th house of mother represented by Cancer, the first maraka is Mercury as he owns the 3rd and 12th houses. The 2nd lord Sun being lord of a single house and a friendly planet to Lagna Lord Moon (Taking Cancer as Lagna of mother) he will not kill. Saturn being the 7th lord is also a maraka. But since he is Ayushkaraka, he loses the powers. Jupiter, the Antardasa lord is considered as a benefic for Cancer Lagna as he owns the strong 9th trikona. But if his association is bad he turns a malefic and gives only bad results. Here Jupiter is conjoined with Rahu and as such Rahu takes away the powers of Jupiter. Rahu is the enemy of Moon and also gives out the results of Saturn, brings about the death of the mother through his associate Jupiter. From Moon, the karaka for mother, Jupiter owns the 7th house and hence is capable of bringing the death of mother.

Wife’s death

Wife will die when the native is of 60 years. Jupiter Antardasa will be running at that time. From the 7th house, Jupiter is lord of 3rd house of longevity placed in the 7th from the 7th house of wife. Lord of 7th house and also the kalatra karaka Venus is aspected by Mars who is the 7th lord and 2nd lord of maraka for the wife.

Native’s death

Native will die in his 69th year. For a movable Lagna the 2nd and 7th lords are marakas. Ketu Antar dasa in Venus dasa will be running at the time of death. Ketu is placed in the 7th house of maraka.

Certain general rules regarding death, I would like to place before the readers for its assessment which is applicable to all Lagnas:

  1. For a movable Lagna the 2nd and 7th lords are capable of bringing death.
  2. For a fixed Lagna the 3rd and 7th lords are capable of bringing death.
  3. For a dual Lagna the 7th and 11th lords are capable of bringing death.
  4. More than the maraka house lord, planets placed in maraka place are powerful in inflicting death.
  5. More than the maraka house lord, planets associated with them are powerful in causing death.
  6. Even if a benefic is associated with the maraka lord, he can cause death.
  7. The 3rd house lord and the 8th house lords are longevity lords. They are also capable of inflicting death. If they conjoin any of the maraka lords definitely they will cause death.
  8. The weakest planet in the horoscope also gets maraka powers.
  9. If the Ayushkaraka Saturn becomes a maraka lord and if he is associated with any of the above-stated maraka planets, he will grasp the powers from all other planets and will cause the death.
