Ch. 10. Antidotes for Evils

1. Those are the evils (due to a native). I now narrate the antidotes for such evils as well,
which will be helpful to assess the extent of inauspiciousness.

2. Should one among Budh, Guru and Sukr be in an angle from Lagn, all evils are destroyed,
as Surya eliminates darkness.

3. Just as a single reverential obeisance before Lord Shiva, the Trident holder frees one from
all sins, a single, but strong Guru in Lagn will ward off all the evils.

4. Lagn Lord is singly capable of counteracting all evils, if he is strongly placed in an angle,
just as Lord Shiva, the holder of the Bow destroyed the three cities, built of gold, silver and
iron for the demons by Maya.

5. All evils are destroyed, if a benefic drishties Lagn of one born during the night in the bright
half. Similarly a malefic' s Drishti on Lagn of one born during day time in the dark half.

6. Surya in Vyaya will confer a hundred-year life span on one born in Tul Lagn.

7. It will prove auspicious for the mother as well as the native, if Mangal joins, or is drishtied
by Guru.

8. If malefics are surrounded by benefics, while angles, or trines are themselves benefic-
occupied, evils disappear soon. Not only this, evils will not follow from the Bhavas
concerned.

Ch. 11. Judgement of Bhavas

1. O Maharishi Parashar, I have come to know of the evils and antidotes thereof from you.
Please tell me, what is to be deduced from each Bhava.

2. Indications of Tanu Bhava. Maharishi Parashar replies. Physique, appearance, intellect (or
the organ of intelligence, i.e. brain), complexion of the body, vigour, weakness, happiness,
grief and innate nature are all to be guessed through the ascending Rasi.

3. Indications of Dhan Bhava. Wealth, grains (food etc.), family, death, enemies, metals,
precious stones etc. are to be understood through Dhan Bhava.

4. Indications of Sahaj Bhava. From Sahaj Bhava know of the following: valour, servants
(attending etc.), brothers, sisters etc., initiatory instructions (Upadesh), journey and parent's
death.

5. Indications of Bandhu Bhava. Conveyances, relatives, mother, happiness, treasure, lands
and buildings are to be consulted through Bandhu Bhava.

6. Indications of Putr Bhava. The learned should deduce from Putr Bhava amulets, sacred
spells, learning, knowledge, sons, royalty (or authority), fall of position etc.

7. Indications of Ari Bhava. Maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother
etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava.

8. Indications of Yuvati Bhava. Wife, travel, trade, loss of sight, death etc. be known from
Yuvati Bhava.

9. Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates longevity, battle, enemies, forts,
wealth of the dead and things, that have happened and are to happen (in the past and future
births).

10. Indications of Dharm Bhava. Fortunes, wife's brother, religion, brother's wife, visits to
shrines etc. be known from Dharm Bhava.

11. Indications of Karm Bhava. Royalty (authority), place, profession (livelihood), honour,
father, living in foreign lands and debts are to be understood from Karm Bhava.

12. Indications of Labh Bhava. All articles, son's wife, income, prosperity, quadrupeds etc.
are to be understood from Labh Bhava.

13. Indications of Vyaya Bhava. From Vyaya Bhava, one can know about expenses, history of
enemies, one's own death etc.

14-16. Prosperity, or Annihilation of a Bhava. Predict prosperity of the Bhava, which is yuti
with, or drishtied by a benefic. Also, when its Lord is in Yuvavastha, or Prabuddhavastha, or
in Kismaravastha, or in Karm Bhava, the Bhavas well-being is indicated. The Bhava, which is
not drishtied by its Lord, or, whose Lord is with a malefic Grah, or with one of the Lords of
evil and such other Bhavas (i.e. 3 rd , 6 th , 8 th , 1 1 th and 12 th ), or is defeated in a war between
Grahas, or is in one of the three Avasthas, viz, Vriddhavastha, Mritavastha and Suptavastha.

Ch. 12. Effects of Tanu Bhava

1-2. Physical comforts. Should Lagn Lord be yuti with a malefic, or be in Randhr, 6 th , or 12 th ,
physical felicity will diminish. If he is in an angle, or trine there will be at all times comforts
of the body. If Lagn Lord is in debilitation, combustion, or enemy's Rasi, there will be
diseases. With a benefic in an angle, or trine all diseases will disappear. Lagn's angles (i.e.
Bandhu, Yuvati, or the 10 th ), or its trine (Putr, Dharm), containing a benefic, is a powerful
remedy for all, related to health.

3. There will not be bodily health, if Lagn, or Candr be drishtied by, or yuti with a malefic,
being devoid of a benefics Drishti.

4. Bodily Beauty. A benefic in Lagn will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will
make one bereft of good appearance. Felicity of the body will be enjoyed, if Lagn is drishtied
by, or yuti with a benefic.

5-7. Other Benefits. If Lagn Lord, Budh, Guru, or Sukr be in an angle, or in a trine, the native
will be long lived, wealthy, intelligent and liked by the king. Fame, wealth, abundant
pleasures and comforts of the body will be acquired, if Lagn Lord is in a Movable Rasi and be
drishtied by a benefic Grah. One will be endowed with royal marks (of fortune), if Budh,
Guru, or Sukr be in Lagn along with the Candr, or be in angle from Lagn. If Budh, Guru, or
Sukr be in 4 th , 7 th , or 10 th from Lagn, or be in the company of Candr in Lagn, the native will
enjoy royal fortunes.

8. Coiled Birth. If there be a birth in one of Mesh, Vrishabh and Simh Lagnas, containing
either Sani, or Mangal, the birth of the child is with a coil around a limb. The corresponding
limb will be in accordance with the Rasi, or Navahs, rising.

9. Birth of Twins. The native, who has Surya in a quadruped Rasi, while others are in Dual
Rasis with strength, is born, as one of the twins.

10. To Be Nurtured by Three Mothers. If Surya and Candr join in one and the same Bhava
and fall in one Navahs, the native will be nurtured by three different mothers for the first three
months from its birth and will later on be brought up by its father and brother. ('Bhratri' apart
from meaning a brother calls for interpretation, as a near relative in general)

11. Important. The learned in Jyotish should base the effects on Candr also, as are applicable
to Lagn. Now explained are clues to know of ulcers, identity marks etc. on one's person.

12-14. Decanates and Bodily Limbs. Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order
of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rasi ascends. In the
case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach
and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus/penis, testicles, thigh,
knee, calf and foot. The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet
to rise, i.e. the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body).

15. Limbs Affected. The limb, related to a malefic by occupation, will have ulcers, or scars,
while the one, related to a benefic, will have a mark (like moles etc). So say the Jyotishis.
(Also see Sloka 6, Ch. 4 of Saravali, which states, that a malefic, or a benefic, if be in own

Rasi, or Navahs, the effects will be right from birth. In other cases it will be in the course of
one's life, that these effects will come to pass)

Ch. 13. Effects of Dhan Bhava

1-2. Combinations for Wealth. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, speaking on the
effects of Dhan Bhava. If the Lord of Dhan is in Dhan, or is in an angle, or in trine, he will
promote one's wealth (or monetary state). Should he be in Ari/8 th /12 th , financial conditions
will decline. A benefic in Dhan will give wealth, while a malefic instead will destroy wealth.

3. One will be wealthy, if Guru is in Dhan, as the Lord of Dhan, or is with Mangal.

4. If Dhan Lord is in Labh, while the Lord of Labh in Dhan, wealth will be acquired by the
native. Alternately these two Lords may join in an angle, or in a trine.

5. If the Lord of Dhan is in an angle, while Labh Lord is in a trine thereof, or is drishtied by,
or yuti with Guru and Sukr, the subject will be wealthy.

6-7. Yogas for Poverty. One will be penniless, if the Lord of Dhan Bhava is in an evil Bhava,
while the Lord of Labh Bhava is also so placed and Dhan Bhava is occupied by a malefic.
There will be penury right from birth and the native will have to beg even for his food, if the
Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava are both combust, or with malefics.

8. Loss of Wealth through the King. Should the Lords of Dhan and Labh Bhava be relegated
to Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Mangal is in Labh Bhava and Rahu is in Dhan Bhava,
the native will lose his wealth on account of royal punishments.

9. Expenses on Good Accounts. When Guru is in Labh, Sukr is in Dhan and a benefic is
placed in Vyaya Bhava, while Dhan' s Lord is yuti with a benefic, there will be expenses on
religious, or charitable grounds.

10. Fame etc. If Dhan' s Lord is in own Rasi, or is exalted, the native will look after his
people, will help others and also will become famous.

11. Effortless Aquisition. If Dhan' s Lord is yuti with a benefic and is in a good division, like
Paravatahs, there will be effortlessly all kinds of wealth in the native's family.
("Paravatahsdau" of the text denotes Paravat, or such other higher Vargas: Dhan's Lord
should be in Paravatahs, or in Devalokahs, Brahmalokahs, Sakravahanahs, or Sridhamahs in
the Dash Varg scheme)

12. Eyes. If Dhan Lord is endowed with strength, the native will possess beautiful eyes.
Should the said Grah be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be disease, or deformity
of eyes.

13. Untruthful Person. If Dhan Bhava and its Lord are yuti with malefics, the native will be a
talebearer, will speak untruth and will be afflicted by windy diseases.

Ch. 14. Effects of Sahaj Bhava

1 . O Brahmin, I now tell you about Sahaj Bhava. Should Sahaj Bhava be yuti with, or
drishtied by a benefic, the native will be endowed with co-born and be courageous.

2. If Sahaj 's Lord along with Mangal drishties Sahaj Bhava, the native will enjoy good
results, due to Sahaj Bhava. Alternatively these two Grahas may be in Sahaj itself.

3. Destruction at once of co-born will come to pass, if the said 2 Grahas are together with a
malefic, or in a Rasi, owned by a malefic.

4-4 Vi. Female and Male Co-born. If Sahaj 's Lord is a female Grah, or, if Sahaj Bhava be
occupied by female Grahas, one will have sisters, born after him. Similarly male Grahas and
male Rasis denote younger brothers. Should it be of mixed nature, co-born of both sexes will
be obtained. These effects be declared after assessing the strength and weakness of the
concerned.

5-6. Should Sahaj ' s Lord and Mangal be together in Randhr Bhava, destruction of co-born
will result. Happiness in this respect will come to pass, if Mangal, or Sahaj 's Lord is in an
angle, or in a trine, or in exaltation, or friendly divisions.

7-11. Number of Brothers and Sisters. If Budh is in Sahaj Bhava, while Sahaj's Lord and
Candr are together, as the indicator (Mangal) joins Sani, the effects are: there occurred the
birth of an elder sister and there will be younger brothers. Furthermore, the third brother will
die. Should Mangal be yuti with Rahu, while Sahaj's Lord is in his debilitation Rasi, there
will be loss of younger brothers and/or sisters, while three elder brothers and/or sisters were
attained by the native. If Sahaj's Lord is in an angle, while the significator (Mangal) is exalted
in a trine and be yuti with Guru, 12 will be the number of total co-born. Out of these two
elders and the 3 rd , the 7 th , the 9 th and the 12 th of the younger co-born will be shortlived, while
six of the said twelve will be longlived.

12-13. There will be 1 co-born, if Vyaya's Lord (some texts read, as Labh's Lord) joins
Mangal and Guru, while Sahaj Bhava is occupied by Candr. If Candr is lonely placed in Sahaj
Bhava with Drishti of male Grahas, there will be younger brothers, while the Drishti of Sukr
denotes younger sisters.

14. Adverse Grahas. Surya in Sahaj Bhava will destroy the preborn. The afterborn will be
destroyed, if Sani is found in Sahaj Bhava. In the same situation Mangal will destroy both the
preborn and later-born.

15. After estimating the strength and weakness of such Yogas, the effects, related to brothers
and sisters, be announced.

Ch. 15. Effects of Bandhu Bhava

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been briefly told the effects of Sahaj Bhava. Now
listen to the results, related to Bandhu Bhava.

2. Housing Comforts. One will have residential comforts in full degree, if Bandhu is occupied
by its Lord, or by Lagn's Lord and be drishtied by a benefic.

3. Miscellaneous. Should Putr's Lord be in his own Bhava, or in own Navahs, or in exaltation,
the native will be endowed with comforts, related to lands, conveyances, houses etc. and
musical instruments.

4. Housing Comforts. If Karm's Lord joins Bandhu's Lord in an angle, or in a trine, the native
will acquire beautiful mansions.

5. Relatives. Should Budh be in Lagn, while Bandhu's Lord, being a benefic, is drishtied by
another benefic, the native will be honoured by his relatives.

6. Long-living Mother. If Bandhu Bhava is occupied by a benefic, while its Lord is in his
exaltation Rasi, as the indicator of mother is endowed with strength, the native will have a
long-living mother.

7. Happiness of Mother. The native's mother will be happy, if Bandhu's Lord is in an angle,
while Sukr is also in an angle, as Budh is exalted.

8. Quadrupeds. Surya in Bandhu, Candr and Sani in Dharm and Mangal in Labh Bhava; this
Yoga will confer cows and buffaloes on the native.

9. Dumbness. Should Bandhu Bhava be a Movable one, while its Lord and Mangal are
together in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, the native will be dumb.

10-14. Conveyances. If Lagn's Lord is a benefic, while Bandhu's Lord is in fall, or in Labh
Bhava and the significator (Sukr) is in Vyaya Bhava, the native will obtain conveyances in his
12 th year. Should Surya be in Bandhu Bhava, as Bandhu's Lord is exalted and be with Sukr,
one will acquire conveyances in his 32 nd year. It will be in the 42 nd year, that one will be
endowed with conveyances, if Bandhu's Lord joins Karm's Lord in his (4 th Lord's) exaltation
Navahs. An exchange between Labh's and Bandhu's Lords will confer conveyances in the
12 th year. A benefic, related to Bandhu Bhava (and to its Lord), will bring with him
auspicious effects (regarding conveyances), while a malefic will produce only malefic effects
(in respect of conveyances). Should a benefic be in Bandhu, drishti Bandhu, or in yuti with
the Lord of Bandhu, or a Drishti on the Lord of Bandhu Bhava, then the native will be happy
with conveyances and be free from accidents and dangers. A malefic, replacing the said
benefic, will cause losses, concerning vehicles and reduce one to severe accidents.

Ch. 16. Effects of Putr Bhava

1-3.0 Brahmin, now I tell you the effects, related to Putr Bhava. If the Lords of Lagn and
Putr are in their own Rasis, or in an angle, or in a trine, one will enjoy thorough happiness
through his children. Should Putr's Lord be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, there will be no
offspring. Should the Lord of Putr be combust, or be with malefics and be weak, there will be
no children; even, if per chance issues are obtained, they will only quit the world soon. The
Yuti of Putr's Lord with Lagn's Lord in a good Bhava will ensure early obtainment of
children apart from happiness through them. If they join in an evil Bhava, they will prove a
defect in this respect.

4. If Putr's Lord is in Ari Bhava, as Lagn's Lord is yuti with Mangal, the native will lose his
very first child, whereafter his female will not be fertile to yield an offspring.

5. Should Putr's Lord be in fall in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, while Budh and Ketu are in
Putr Bhava, the native's wife will give birth to one child only.

6. If Putr's Lord is in fall and be not in Drishti to Putr, while Sani and Budh are in Putr, the
native's wife will give birth to one child only.

7. Should Dharm's Lord be in Lagn, while Putr's Lord is in fall and Ketu is in Putr along with
Budh, obtainment of progeny will be after a great deal of ordeal.

8. If Putr's Lord is in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or be in an inimical Rasi, or be in fall, or
in Putr itself, the native will beget issues with difficulty.

9. Should Putr Bhava be owned by Sani, or Budh and be occupied, or drishtied by Sani and
Mandi, one will have adopted issues.

10. Should Surya and Candr be together in a Rasi and in the same Navahs, the native will be
brought up by three mothers, or two fathers.

11. Adopted issue is indicated, if Putr is tenanted by six Grahas, while its Lord is in Vyaya
Bhava and Candr and Lagn are endowed with strength.

12. There will be many children, if Putr's Lord is strong, while Putr is drishtied by strong
Budh, Guru and Sukr.

13. If Putr's Lord is with Candr, or is in her Decanate, the native will beget daughters; so say
Jyotishis.

14. If Putr's Lord is in a Movable Rasi, while Sani is in Putr, as Rahu is with Candr, the child
(so born) is of questionable birth.

15. Undoubtedly the native is born of other's loins, if Candr is in the 8 th from Lagn, while
Guru is in the 8 th from Candr. Malefic' s Drishti, or Yuti is essential in this Yog.

16. If Putr's Lord is exalted, or be in Dhan, Putr, or Dharm Bhava, or be yuti with, or drishtied
by Guru, obtainment of children will be there.

17. One will obtain children, that will indulge in mean deeds, if Putr is occupied by three, or
four malefics, while Putr's Lord is in fall. A benefic (including Budh) in Putr is excluded in
the said combination.

18. If Putr is occupied by Guru, while its Lord is with Sukr, one will obtain an offspring in his
32 , or 33 year.

19. Should Putr's Lord be in an angle along with Guru, the Karak, one will beget a child at the
age of 30, or 36.

20. If Guru is in Dharm Bhava, while Sukr is in the 9 th from Guru along with Lagn's Lord,
one will beget a child at the age of 40.

21. The native will at the age of 32 lose his child, if Rahu is in Putr, Putr's Lord is in Yuti
with a malefic and Guru is in debilitation.

22. There will be loss of children at 33 and 36, if a malefic is in the 5 th from Guru, while
another is in the 5* from Lagn.

23. Should Mandi be in Lagn, while Lagn's Lord is in fall, grief on account of loss of child at
the age of 56 will come to pass.

24-32. Number of Children. There will be 10 sons, if Bandhu Bhava and Ari Bhava are
occupied by malefics, while Putr's Lord is in deep exaltation, joining Lagn's Lord, as Guru is
with another benefic. Nine will be the number of sons, that one will beget, if Guru is in deep
exaltation, as Rahu is with Dhan's Lord and Dharm is occupied by its own Lord. There will
be eight sons, if Guru is in Putr, or Dharm Bhava, while Putr's Lord is endowed with strength
and Dhan's Lord is in Karm Bhava. Sani in Dharm Bhava, while Putr's Lord is in Putr itself,
gives 7 sons, out of which twins will be born twice. If Putr's Lord is in Putr in Yuti with
Dhan's Lord, there will be birth of 7 sons, out of which 3 will pass away. Only one son is
denoted, if there be a malefic in Putr Bhava, while Guru is in the 5 th from Sani, or vice versa.
If Putr Bhava has a malefic in it, or, if Sani is in the 5 th from Guru, the native will beget
offspring only through his second, or third wife. Should Putr be occupied by a malefic, while
Guru is yuti with Sani in Putr Bhava, as Lagn's Lord is in Dhan Bhava and Putr's Lord is yuti
with Mangal, one will live long, but lose his children one after the other, as they are born.

Ch. 17. Effects of Ari Bhava

1. O Brahmin, following are the effects, produced by Ari Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers
etc. Listen to this attentively.

2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should Ari's Lord be in Ari itself, or in Lagn, or Randhr, there will be
ulcers, or bruises on the body. The Rasi, becoming Ari Bhava, will lead to the knowledge of
the concerned limb.

3 -5 . Relatives Affected. The Karak of a relative, or the Lord of such a Bhava, j oining Ari ' s
Lord, or being in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a relative, like father.
Surya with such lordship and in such a Bhava denotes such affectation of head, Candr of the
face, Mangal of the neck, Budh of the navel, Guru of the nose, Sukr of the eyes, Sani of the
feet and the Rahu and Ketu of the abdomen.

6. Facial Diseases. Should Lagn's Lord be in a Rasi of Mangal, or of Budh and has a Drishti
on Budh, there will be diseases of the face.

7-8 1 / / 2. Leprosy. Mangal, or Budh, having ownership of the ascending Rasi and joining Candr,
Rahu and Sani, will cause leprosy. If Candr is in Lagn, which is not however Cancer, and be
with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy. Sani in place of Rahu will cause black leprosy,
while Mangal similarly will afflict one with blood-leprosy.

9-121/2. Diseases in General. When Lagn is occupied by the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava
along with Surya, the native will be afflicted by fever and tumours. Mangal, replacing Surya,
will cause swelling and hardening of the blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons.
Budh so featuring will bring in billious diseases, while Guru in similar case will destroy any
disease. Similarly Sukr will cause diseases through females, Sani windy diseases, Rahu
danger through low-caste-men and Ketu navel diseases. Candr in Yuti with the Lords of Ari
and Randhr Bhava will inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic disorders. Similar
estimates be made from the respective significators and Bhavas for relatives, like father.

13-19V& TIMING OF ILLNESS. The native will be afflicted by illness throughout life, if Sani
is with Rahu, while Ari Lord and 6 th Bhava are yuti with malefics. One will suffer from
(severe) fever at the age of 6 and at the age of 12, if Mangal is in Ari, while Ari Lord is in
Randhr. If the Candr is in Dhanu/Meen, while Guru is in Ari from Lagn, one will suffer from
leprosy at the age of 19 and 22. If Rahu is in Ari, Lagna Lord is in Randhr and Mandi is in an
angle, consumption will trouble the native at the age of 26. Spleenary disorders will be
experienced at the age of 29 and 30, if the Lords of 6 th and 12 th are in exchange of their Rasis.
Sani and Candr together in Ari will inflict blood-leprosy at the age of 45. If Sani is with an
inimical planet, while Lagn Lord is in Lagn itself, windy disorders (like rheumatism) will
trouble the native at the age of 59.

20-22. UNFORTUNATE YEARS. Should Candr be yuti with Ari Lord, while the 8 th Lord is
in Ari and the 12 th Lord is in Lagn, the native will be troubled by animals at the age of eight.
O Brahmin, if Rahu is in Ari, while Sani is in Randhr from the said Rahu, the child will have
danger through fire at the age of 1 and 2, while in Sahaj year birds will bring some evils.

23-25. UNFORTUNATE YEARS (continued). Danger through water will have to be feared
during Putr and Dharm years, if Surya is in Ari, or Randhr, while Candr is in Vyaya from the
said Surya. Sani in Randhr, as Mangal is in Yuvati, all cause small-pox in Karm year and in
30 th year of age. If 8 th Lord joins Rahu in an angle/trine from Randhr Bhava and be in Randhr
in Navamsa, the subject will be troubled by swelling of blood vessels, urinary disorders etc.
during the 18 th year and the 22 nd year.

26. LOSS THROUGH ENEMIES. Loss of wealth will come to pass during the 3 1 st year, if
Labh and 6 th Lords exchange their Rasis.

27. INIMICAL SONS. One's own sons will be his enemies, if Putr Lord is in Ari, while Ari
Lord is with Guru. Simultaneously Vyaya Lord should be in Lagn.

28. FEAR FROM DOGS. There will be fear from dogs during the 10 th and 19 th year, if the
Lagna Lord and the 6 th Lord are in exchange.

Ch. 18. Effects of Yuvati Bhava

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me, detailing the effects of the 7 th Bhava. If Yuvati
Lord is in his own Rasi, or in exaltation, one will derive full happiness through his wife (and
marriage).

2. SICK WIFE. Should Yuvati Lord be in Ari, 8 th , or Vyaya, the wife will be sickly. This
however does not apply to own Bhava, or exaltation placement, as above.

3. Excessive-Libidinousness/Death-ofWife. If Sukr is in Yuvati, the native will be
exceedingly libidinous. If Sukr yuti a malefic in any Bhava, it will cause loss of wife.

4-5. THE 7 th LORD. Should Yuvati Lord be endowed with strength and be yuti with, or be
drishtied by a benefic, the native will be wealthy, honourable, happy and fortunate.
Conversely, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or is combust, or is in an enemy's Rasi, one will acquire
sick wives and many wives.

6. PLURALITY OF WIVES. If Yuvati Lord is in a Rasi of Sani, or of Sukr and be drishtied
by a benefic, there will be many wives. Should Yuvati Lord be particularly in exaltation, the
same effects will come to pass.

7-8 ! A MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. The native will befriend barren females, if Surya is in
Yuvati. Candr therein will cause association with such female, as corresponding to the Rasi,
becoming Yuvati. Mangal, placed in Yuvati, will denote association with marriageable girls
(those with menses), or with barren females. Budh indicates harlots, mean females and
females, belonging to traders' community. Wife of a Brahmin, or a pregnant female will be in
the native's association, if Guru is in Yuvati. Base females and females, having attained their
courses, are denoted by Sani, Rahu/Ketu in Yuvati.

S-9 l A. Mangal denotes a female with attractive breasts. Sani indicates sick and weak spouse.
Guru will bring a spouse with hard and prominent breasts. Sukr will bring one with bulky and
excellent breasts.

lO-lS 1 /^. Malefics in Vyaya and 7 th , while decreasing Candr is in Putr denote, that the native
will be controlled by spouse, who will be inimical to the race (or family). If Yuvati Bhava is
occupied, or owned by Sani/Mangal, the native will beget a harlot, as his spouse, or he will be
attached to other illegally. Should Sukr be in a Navamsa of Mangal, or in a Rasi of Mangal, or
receive a Drishti from, or be yuti with Mangal, the native will "kiss" the private parts of the
female. If Sukr is so related to Sani, the native will "kiss" the private parts of the male.

14-15. WORTHY SPOUSE. The native will beget a spouse endowed with (the seven
principal) virtues, who will expand his dynasty by sons and grandsons, if the 7 th Lord
exalted, while Yuvati is occupied by strong Lagna Lord and a benefic.

16. EVILS TO SPOUSE. If Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is yuti with a malefic the native's wife
will incur evils, especially, if Yuvati Bhava, or its Lord is bereft of strength.

17. LOSS OF SPOUSE. If Yuvati Lord is devoid of strength and is relegated to Ari, 8 th , or
Vyaya, or, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, the native's wife will be destroyed (i.e. she will die early).

18. LACK OF CONJUGAL FELICITY. If Candr is in Yuvati, as Yuvati Lord is in Vyaya and
the Karaka (indicator Sukr) is bereft of strength, the native will not be endowed with marital
happiness.

19-21. PLURAL1IY OF WIVES. One will have two wives, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, or in a
malefic Rasi along with a malefic, while Yuvati Bhava, or the 7 th Navamsa belong to a
eunuch planet. If Mangal and Sukr are in Yuvati, or, if Sani is Yuvati, while the Lord of Lagn
is in Randhr, the native will have 3 wives. There will be many wives, if Sukr is in a Dual
Rasi, while its Lord is in exaltation, as Yuvati Lord is endowed with strength.

22. TIME OF MARRIAGE (upto Sloka 34). If Yuvati Lord is in a benefic's Bhava (or in
Dharm, as Subha Rasi so means), while Sukr is exalted, or is in own Rasi, the native will
marry at the age of 5, or 9.

23. If Surya is in Yuvati, while his dispositor is yuti with Sukr, there will be marriage at 7 th , or
1 1 th year of age.

24. Sukr in Dhan, while Yuvati Lord is in Labh will give marriage at the age of 10, or 16.

25. Marriage will take place during the 1 1 th year, if Sukr is in an angle from Lagn, while Lagn
Lord is in Makar, or Kumbh.

26. The native will marry at 12, or 19, if Sukr is in an angle from the Lagna, while Sani is in
Yuvati counted from Sukr.

27. Should Sukr be in Yuvati from Candr, while Sani is in Yuvati from Sukr, marriage will be
in the 18 th year.

28. Marriage will be in the 15 year, if Dhan Lord is in Labh, while Lagn Lord is in Karm.

29. An exchange between the Lords of Dhan and Labh will bring marriage 13 years after
birth.

30. Ones 22 n I21 x year will confer marriage, if Sukr is in Yuvati from the 8* Bhava (i.e. Dhan
from Lagna), while his dispositor is yuti with Mangal.

3 1 . Should Yuvati Lord be in Vyaya, while the natal Lord is in Yuvati in Navamsa, marriage
will be in 23 rd /26 th year of age.

32. Either the 25 th year, or the 33 rd year will bring marriage, if Randhr Lord is in Yuvati, as
Sukr is in Navamsa Lagna.

33. Should Sukr be in Dharm from Dharm (i.e. in Putr Bhava), while Rahu is in one of the
said Bhavas (i.e. in Putr/Dharm), marriage will take place during 3 1 st , or 33 rd year.

34. The native will marry at 30, or 27, if Sukr is in Lagn, while the 7 th Lord is in Yuvati itself.

35-39. TIMING OF WIFE'S DEATH. Loss of wife will occur in the 18 th year, or 33 rd year of
age of the native, if Yuvati Lord is in fall, while Sukr is in Randhr. One will lose his spouse in
his 19 th year, if Yuvati Lord is in the 8 th , while Vyaya Lord is in Yuvati. The native's wife
will die within three days of marriage due to snake bite, if the native has Rahu in Dhan and
Mangal in Yuvati. If Sukr is in Randhr, while his dispositor is in a Rasi of Sani, death of wife
will take place during the native's 12 th , or 21 st year of age. Should the ascendat Lord be in his
Rasi of debilitation, as Dhan Lord is in Randhr, loss of wife will occur in the 13 th year of age.

40-41. THREE MARRIAGES. Should Candr be in Yuvati from Sukr, while Budh is in
Yuvati from Candr and Randhr Lord is in Putr (from the Lagna), there will be marriage in
Karm year followed by another in the 22 nd year and yet another in the 33 rd year.

42. DEATH OF WIFE. If Ari, 7 th and 8 th are in their order occupied by Mangal, Rahu and
Sani, the native's wife will not live (long).

Ch. 19. Effects of Randhr Bhava

1. Long Life. O excellent of the Brahmins, listen to me speak on the effects of Randhr Bhava.
If Randhr' s Lord is in an angle, long life is indicated.

2. Short Life. Should Randhr's Lord join Lagn's Lord, or a malefic and be in Randhr itself,
the native will be short lived.

3. Sani and Karm's Lord about Longevity. Similarly consider Sani and Karm's Lord in the
matter of longevity. Karm's Lord is in Randhr along with a malefic Grah and/or Lagn's Lord.

4-7. Long Life. There will be long life, if Ari's Lord is in Vyaya, or, if Ari's Lord is in Ari, as
Vyaya's Lord is in Vyaya, or, if Ari's Lord and Vyaya' s Lord are in Lagn and Randhr. If the
Lords of Putr, Randhr and Tanu Bhava are in own Navahsas, own Rasis, or in friendly Rasis,
the native will enjoy a long span of life. Should the Lords of Lagn, Randhr and Karm Bhava
and Sani are all disposed severally in an angle, in a trine, or in Labh Bhava, the subject will
live long. Like these, there are many other Yogas, dealing with the issue of longevity. The
strength and weakness of the Grahas concerned be estimated in deciding longevity.

8-13. Short Life. One's span of life will be between 20 and 32 years, if Lagn's Lord is weak,
while Randhr's Lord is an angle. The native will only be short-lived, if Randhr's Lord is in
fall, while Randhr Bhava has a malefic in it and Tanu Bhava is bereft of strength. Death will
be instant at birth, if Randhr Bhava, Randhr's Lord and Vyaya Bhava are all conjunct
malefics. Malefics in angles and/or trines and benefics in Ari and/or Randhr Bhava, while
Tanu Bhava has in it Randhr's Lord in fall: this Yoga will cause immediate end. If Putr and
Randhr Bhava and Randhr's Lord are all conjunct malefics, the life span will be very brief.
Within a month of birth, death will befall the child, if Randhr's Lord is in Randhr itself, while
Candr is with malefics and be bereft of beneficial Drishti.

14-15. Long Life (again). One will be long-lived, if Lagn's Lord is in exaltation, while Candr
and Guru are, respectively, in Labh and Randhr Bhava. If Lagn's Lord is exceedingly strong
and receives a Drishti from a benefic, which is placed in an angle, the person concerned will
be wealthy, virtuous and long-lived.
