56-58. Maharishi Parashar said to Maitreya. O Brahmin! The effects of Antar Dashas in the
Kala Chakr, which have been described above, are based on Savya Chakr. The effects of
Antar Dashas in the Dashas of the Rasis in the Apsavya Chakr have to be assessed, after
taking into account the benefic and malefic natures of the Lords of the Rasis. People have to
enjoy the good, or suffer the bad results, according to their good, or bad actions in the
previous births. Everybody suffers, or enjoys accordingly. The peculiarity in this respect is,
that inauspicious results have been ascribed to malefics. But, if during the Antar Dasha the
Grah concerned is a friend of the Lord of the Dasha, the results of the Antar Dasha will be
favourable. If the Grah concerned is a benefic, but an enemy of the Lord of the Dasha, his
Antar Dasha effects will not prove favourable. This is how the Antar Dasha effects have to be
analyzed and conclusions arrived at.

Ch. 66. AshtakaVarg
1-4. Maitreya said: "O Venerable Sage! You have described many kinds of effects, relating to
the Grahas and Bhavas, after incorporating the views of many sages and Acharyas, but it is
not possible to say with certainty, if a particular effect is quite correct, after considering the
contradictions in the effects by the movements of the various Grahas. As because of sinful
deeds, committed by people in Kaliyuga, their minds have become blunt, be kind enough to
describe a method, which would enable even the shallow minded persons to ascertain their
happiness and sorrows and determine their longevity on the basis of the positions of the
Grahas in transit."
5-6. The sage replied: "O Brahmin! You have put a very intelligent question. I will now
describe the Shastra for the benefit of all, the Shastra, in which there will be no contradictions
in judging the effects of happiness and sorrows and for determination of the longevity. You
now listen to me carefully.
7-11. If the 12 Bhavas, including Lagn, are occupied by, or aspected by benefic Grahas, they
yield auspicious results, according to their characteristics, but this happens, where the Grahas
concerned are in their exaltation Rasi, own Rasi, or posited in a benefic Bhava. There will be
no good effects, if such Grahas are in depression, or posited in an inauspicious Bhava.
Similarly the Bhavas, associated with, or aspected by malefics in depression, or posited in
malefic Bhavas, yield adverse results, according to their characteristics. If such Grahas be in
their exaltation Rasi, the effects will not be adverse. This is how the general effects have been
described by the Daivajnas. I have only repeated those effects. The main purposes of this
Jyotish Shastra are to determine the longevity and joys and sorrows of the people, but because
the movements of the Grahas are so subtle, even sages, like Vashista and Brihaspati, have not
been able to be quite definite in this respect. Then how can a common man, particularly in
Kaliyuga, do so.
12. There are two divisions, or parts of the Jyotish Shastra, namely general and particular. I
have already dealt with the general part. I now come to the other part, which deals with this
subject in particular.
13-15. As the effects of the twelve Bhavas are judged from Lagn and Candr, effects of the
twelve Bhavas and the various Grahas are judged in the same manner. Therefore the
inauspicious places from the seven Grahas, named, as Karan, beginning from Surya and Lagn
(total 8), should be marked by dots (Bindus) and auspicious places, named, as Sthan, by small
vertical lines (Rekhas) and on the basis of their assessment should the judgment of the
horoscope and predictions be made."
Notes. The above arrangement is known, as AshtakaVarg. The meaning of AshtakaVarg is
literally the group of eight things. In other words it is the combination of the good and bad
positions of a Grah with reference to the seven Grahas and Lagn. So it is the combination of
the benefic and malefic marks (the Rekhas and the Bindus) in a planet's chart with reference
to the position of the eight Grahas (here Lagn is to be treated, as a Grah).
16. Five Grahas in 1 st , 2 nd , 8 th , 3 rd and the 12 th Bhavas from Surya are Karanprad (dot
significators). Similarly four Grahas in the 7 th and 4 th , three Grahas in the 6 th and 9 th , six
Grahas in the 5 th , 2 Grahas in the 10 th and one Grah in the 1 1 th are dot significators.
17-19. Thus Lagn, Candr, Guru, Sukr and Budh in the 1 st , 2 nd and 8 th from Surya; Surya,
Mangal, Sani, Candr and Guru in the 12 th ; Budh, Candr, Sukr, Guru in the 4 th ; Lagn, Candr,
Sukr in the 9 th ; Surya, Sani and Mangal in the 6 th ; Lagn, Budh, Guru and Candr in the 7 th ;
Sukr in the 1 1 th ; Surya, Sani, Sukr, Guru and Mangal in the 3 rd ; Guru and Sukr in the 10 th ;
Surya, Sani, Candr, Lagn Mangal and Sukr in the 5 th are Karanprad, or dot indicators.
20-22. In Candr' s AshtakaVarg 6 Grahas in the 9 th and the 2 nd , 5 Grahas in the 4 th , 8 th and the
1 st , one Grah in the 10 th and the 3 rd , 4 Grahas in the 5 th , 3 Grahas in the 6 th and the 7 th and 1 st ,
eight in the 12 th are Karanprad. Thus Lagn, Surya, Mangal, Sani and Sukr, these five in the
1 st ; Lagn, Budh, Surya, Candr, Sani and Sukr, these 6 in the 2 nd ; Guru in the 3 rd ; Surya, Sani,
Candr, Lagn and Mangal, these 5 in the 4 th ; Sukr, Budh, Guru, these 3 in the 6 th ; Mangal,
Lagn and Sani, these 3 in the 7 th ; Mangal, Lagn, Sani, Sukr and Candr, these five in the 8 th ;
Lagn, Surya, Mangal, Sani, Budh and Guru, these 6 in the 9 th ; Sani only in the 10 th ; none in
the 1 1 th ; all the eight in the 12 th from their own places are Karanprad. These Grahas in the
other Bhavas are Rekhaprad (line significators).
23-27. In the AshtakaVarg of Mangal 6 Grahas in the 12 th , 4 th and 7 th , 5 Grahas in the 5 th , 6
Grahas in the 2 nd , 7 Grahas in the 9 th , 5 Grahas in the 1 st and 8 th , 4 Grahas in the 3 rd , 3 Grahas
in the 10 th and 2 Grahas in the 6 th are Karanprad. In the 1 1 th no Grah is Karanprad. In other
words all the Grahas in the 1 1 th from their own places are Rekhaprad. Thus Surya, Candr,
Budh, Guru and Sukr, these five in the 1 st ; Lagn, Surya, Candr, Budh, Guru and Sani, these 6
in the 2 nd ; Sukr, Mangal, Guru and Sani, these 4 in the 3 rd ; Surya, Candr, Budh, Guru, Sukr
and Lagn, these 6 in the 4 th ; Candr, Mangal, Guru, Sukr and Lagn, these 5 in the 5 th ; Mangal

Budh, Candr, Surya, Lagn and Guru, these five in the 8 th ; Surya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru,
Sukr and Lagn, these 7 in the 9 th ; Sukr, Candr and Budh, these 3 in the 10 th ; none in the 1 1 th ;

Karanprad.

the 8 th , 6 Grahas in the 3 rd and the 7 th , none in the 1 1 th , 5 Grahas in the 5 th and 12 th are
Karanprad. Thus Surya, Candr and Guru, these 3 in the 1 st ; Guru, Surya and Budh, these 3 in
the 2 n ; Lagn, Surya, Mangal, Sani, Candr and Guru, these 6 in the 3 r ; Budh, Surya and Guru,
these 3 in the 4 th ; Guru, Mangal, Candr, Sani and Lagn, these 5 in the 5 th ; Sukr, Sani and
Mangal, these 3 in the 6 th ; Budh, Candr, Lagn, Surya, Sukr and Guru, these 6 in the 7 th ; Budh
and Surya, these 2 in the 8 th ; Guru, Candr and Lagn, these 3 in the 9 th ; Surya, Guru and Sukr,
these 3 in the 10 th ; none in the 1 1 th ; Lagn, Candr, Mangal, Sani and Sukr these 5 in the 12 th
from their own places are Karanprad.
3 1-34. In the AshtakaVarg of Guru one Grah in the 2 nd and 1 1 th , 2 Grahas in the 10 th , 7
Grahas in the 12 th , 4 Grahas in the 6 th , 5 Grahas in the 8 th and 3 rd , 3 Grahas in the remaining
Bhavas are Karanprad. Thus Sukr, Candr and Sani, these 3 in the 1 st ; Sani in the 2 nd and 1 1 th ;
Lagn, Mangal, Candr, Budh and Sukr, these 5 in the 3 rd ; Surya, Guru and Mangal, these 3 in

10 th , 8 Grahas in the 7 th , 6 Grahas in the 6 th , one in the 9 th , 3 in the 4 th , none in the 1 1 th are
Karanpradas. Thus Surya, Mangal, Budh, Guru and Sani, these 5 in the 1 st and the 2 nd ; all the
8 Grahas in the 7 th ; Guru and Surya, these 2 in the 3 rd ; Surya and Mangal, these 2 in the 5 th ;

Candr, Mangal, Guru, Sukr, Sani and Lagn, these 6 in the 8 th ; none in the 1 1 th from their own
places are Karanpradas. The remaining places are Rekhapradas and are auspicious.
43-45. The sage said. Now I will describe the auspicious Bhavas for the benefit of the
Acharyas. In the AshtakaVarg of Surya: Sani, Mangal and Surya in the 2 nd , 8 th and 1 st ; Guru

Mangal, Lagn and Budh in the 10 th ; all in the 1 1 th ; Mangal, Budh, Guru and Sukr in the 12 th

the 2 nd , 6 Grahas in the 5 th , 8 th , 9 th and 12 th , one Grah in the 10 th , 1 1 th and 6 th and all except

Sukr in the 1 1 th and Surya and Candr in the 12 th from their own places are Rekhapradas.
69. In the charts of AshtakaVarg Karan is signified by a Bindu, or dot (0) and Sthan by a
Rekhapradas, or line (1). Karan is inauspicious, while Sthan is auspicious.
70-72. To identify the auspicious and inauspicious Bhavas in the AshtakaVarg a chart should
be prepared with 14 horizontal lines and ten vertical lines. The form of the chart so prepared
will consist of 1 17 apartments. In this chart in the first line incorporates the names of the
seven Grahas and Lagn. In the first column write the numbers of all the 12 Bhavas. After this
mark dots under the Grah and against the Karanprad Bhavas. By doing so the Karanprad
Bhavas of all the 8 Grahas, including Lagn, will become known clearly and whenever the
AshtakaVarg Grah will pass in transit the dot-marked Bhavas, he will yield unfavourable
results. In his transit to other Bhavas he would give favourable effects. The following table
shows the dots in the AshtakaVarg of Surya.
1-4. Maitreya said: "O Venerable Sage! You have described many kinds of effects, relating to
the Grahas and Bhavas, after incorporating the views of many sages and Acharyas, but it is
not possible to say with certainty, if a particular effect is quite correct, after considering the

12. There are two divisions, or parts of the Jyotish Shastra, namely general and particular. I
have already dealt with the general part. I now come to the other part, which deals with this
subject in particular.
13-15. As the effects of the twelve Bhavas are judged from Lagn and Candr, effects of the
twelve Bhavas and the various Grahas are judged in the same manner. Therefore the
inauspicious places from the seven Grahas, named, as Karan, beginning from Surya and Lagn
(total 8), should be marked by dots (Bindus) and auspicious places, named, as Sthan, by small
vertical lines (Rekhas) and on the basis of their assessment should the judgment of the
horoscope and predictions be made."
Notes. The above arrangement is known, as AshtakaVarg. The meaning of AshtakaVarg is
literally the group of eight things. In other words it is the combination of the good and bad
positions of a Grah with reference to the seven Grahas and Lagn. So it is the combination of
the benefic and malefic marks (the Rekhas and the Bindus) in a planet's chart with reference
to the position of the eight Grahas (here Lagn is to be treated, as a Grah).
16. Five Grahas in 1 st , 2 nd , 8 th , 3 rd and the 12 th Bhavas from Surya are Karanprad (dot
significators). Similarly four Grahas in the 7 th and 4 th , three Grahas in the 6 th and 9 th , six
Grahas in the 5 th , 2 Grahas in the 10 th and one Grah in the 1 1 th are dot significators.
17-19. Thus Lagn, Candr, Guru, Sukr and Budh in the 1 st , 2 nd and 8 th from Surya; Surya,
Mangal, Sani, Candr and Guru in the 12 th ; Budh, Candr, Sukr, Guru in the 4 th ; Lagn, Candr,
Sukr in the 9 th ; Surya, Sani and Mangal in the 6 th ; Lagn, Budh, Guru and Candr in the 7 th ;
Sukr in the 1 1 th ; Surya, Sani, Sukr, Guru and Mangal in the 3 rd ; Guru and Sukr in the 10 th ;
Surya, Sani, Candr, Lagn Mangal and Sukr in the 5 th are Karanprad, or dot indicators.
20-22. In Candr' s AshtakaVarg 6 Grahas in the 9 th and the 2 nd , 5 Grahas in the 4 th , 8 th and the
1 st , one Grah in the 10 th and the 3 rd , 4 Grahas in the 5 th , 3 Grahas in the 6 th and the 7 th and 1 st ,
eight in the 12 th are Karanprad. Thus Lagn, Surya, Mangal, Sani and Sukr, these five in the
1 st ; Lagn, Budh, Surya, Candr, Sani and Sukr, these 6 in the 2 nd ; Guru in the 3 rd ; Surya, Sani,
Candr, Lagn and Mangal, these 5 in the 4 th ; Sukr, Budh, Guru, these 3 in the 6 th ; Mangal,
Lagn and Sani, these 3 in the 7 th ; Mangal, Lagn, Sani, Sukr and Candr, these five in the 8 th ;
Lagn, Surya, Mangal, Sani, Budh and Guru, these 6 in the 9 th ; Sani only in the 10 th ; none in
the 1 1 th ; all the eight in the 12 th from their own places are Karanprad. These Grahas in the
other Bhavas are Rekhaprad (line significators).
23-27. In the AshtakaVarg of Mangal 6 Grahas in the 12 th , 4 th and 7 th , 5 Grahas in the 5 th , 6
Grahas in the 2 nd , 7 Grahas in the 9 th , 5 Grahas in the 1 st and 8 th , 4 Grahas in the 3 rd , 3 Grahas
in the 10 th and 2 Grahas in the 6 th are Karanprad. In the 1 1 th no Grah is Karanprad. In other

Rekhapradas, or line (1). Karan is inauspicious, while Sthan is auspicious.
70-72. To identify the auspicious and inauspicious Bhavas in the AshtakaVarg a chart should
be prepared with 14 horizontal lines and ten vertical lines. The form of the chart so prepared
will consist of 1 17 apartments. In this chart in the first line incorporates the names of the
seven Grahas and Lagn. In the first column write the numbers of all the 12 Bhavas. After this
mark dots under the Grah and against the Karanprad Bhavas. By doing so the Karanprad
Bhavas of all the 8 Grahas, including Lagn, will become known clearly and whenever the
AshtakaVarg Grah will pass in transit the dot-marked Bhavas, he will yield unfavourable
results. In his transit to other Bhavas he would give favourable effects. The following table
shows the dots in the AshtakaVarg of Surya.

Ch. 67. Trikon Shodhana in the AshtakaVarg
1-2. The sage said. O Brahmin! After preparing the AshtakaVarg of all the Grahas, including
Lagn, Trikon Shodhana has to be done for each Rasi. A Trikon is made of three Rasis
equidistant from each other. Thus Mesh, Simh and Dhanu, Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar,
Mithun, Tul and Kumbh, Kark, Vrischik and Meen form the Trikonas of the Rasis.
3-5. The Trikon Shodhana (rectification) should be done by writing the Rekhas in the
Ashtaka Vargas of Surya etc. under the Rasis Mesh etc. Amongst the Trikon Rasis the Rasi,
which has lesser number of Rekhas, should be allotted Rekhas, arrived at by deducting its
number of Rekhas from the greater number of Rekhas of the three Trikon Rasis. No Trikon
Shodhana is necessary, if any of the Trikon Rasis has no Rekha. Shodhana should be done, if
all the three of them have equal number of Rekhas, that is a zero should be written against all
of them. Thereafter Ekadhipatya Shodhana should be done in the same manner, described
later. (For Shodhana of the AshtakaVarg of a Grah the first thing to be done is to see, in which
Rasi the Grah is posited. Beginning from that Rasi, the names of the 12 Rasis should be
written and then the names of the Grahas, posited in them, should be mentioned against them.
Thereafter the Rekhas, gained by that Rasi, should be written below them and the number,
achieved after Shodhana, below it)

Ch. 68. Ekadhipatya Shodhana in the AshtakaVarg
1-5. Ekadhipatya Shodhana is done after writing the numbers for Rasis, arrived at by Trikon
Shodhana. Ekadhipatya Shodhana is done, if both the two Rasis, owned by a Grah, have
gained a number after Trikon Shodhana. Ekadhipatya Shodhana is not to be done, if one Rasi
has got a number and the other is bereft of any number. The following are the rules for
Ekadhipatya Shodhana. If both the Rasis are without a Grah and the Trikon Shodhana
numbers are different, both should be given the smaller number. If both the Rasis are with
Grahas, no Shodhana is to be done. If amongst the two Rasis one is with a Grah and a smaller
Trikon rectified number and the other is without Grah with a bigger number, deduct the
smaller number from the bigger number and the number of the Rasi with Grah should be kept
unchanged. If the Rasi with the Grah has a bigger number than that of the Rasi without Grah,
the Shodhana should be done of the number of the Rasi without Grah and the number of the
Rasi with Grah should be kept unchanged. If both the Rasis are without Grahas and possess
the same numbers, Shodhana of both the numbers should be done and the rectified numbers
should be reduced to zero. If one Rasi is with Grah and the other is without any Grah, the
number of the latter should be reduced to zero. Surya and Candr own one Rasi only, their
numbers should be kept unchanged.
6. After doing Ekadhipatya Shodhana, Pinda Sadhana should be taken in hand.

the Shodhana should be done of the number of the Rasi without Grah and the number of the
Rasi with Grah should be kept unchanged. If both the Rasis are without Grahas and possess
the same numbers, Shodhana of both the numbers should be done and the rectified numbers
should be reduced to zero. If one Rasi is with Grah and the other is without any Grah, the
number of the latter should be reduced to zero. Surya and Candr own one Rasi only, their
numbers should be kept unchanged.

1-4. The Sage said. O Brahmin! After completing the Trikon and Ekadhipatya Shodhana in
the AshtakaVargas of all the Grahas, the rectified number should be multiplied by the
measure of the Rasi. If there be any Grah in any Rasi, the rectified number should be
multiplied by the measure of the Grah also. Then, after multiplying the rectified number of
each Rasi, the products should be added up. The total so arrived at will be Pinda of that Grah.
The multiples of Rasis are 10 for Vrishabh and Simh, 8 for Mithun and Vrischik, 7 for Mesh
and Tul, 6 for Makar and Kanya. The multipliers of the remaining Rasis are the same, as their
numbers. (Rasiman Chakr. Mesh 7, Vris 10, Mith 8, Kark 4, Simh 10, Kany 6, Tula 7, Vrsk 8,
Dhan 9, Maka 5, Kumb 11, Mina 12) The multipliers of Grahas are 10 for Guru, 3 for
Mangal, 7 for Sukr, 6 for Budh, Surya, Candr and Sani. (Grahman Chakr. Surya 5, Candr 5,
Mangal 8, Budh 5, Guru 10, Sukr 7, Sani 5)
