Notes: Readers are referred to Saravali (Ch. 3) for
Multrikon, Swakshetr, Deep exaltation etc.
As Rahu, Ketu have not been dealt with, I give below
some information in this regard: Vriddha Samhita and
Jyotishamrita state, that Kumbha and Vruchika are
owned by Rahu and Ketu in their order. Veemesaram, a
Tamil work calls Kumbha, as Rahu’s own Bhava, but
nothing is allotted to Ketu. Both are exalted in
Vruchika and are in fall in Vushabha, as per
Jatakalankaram (Tamil) and Veemesaram.
Jatakachintamani agrees with this, only for Rahu,
while it mentions, that Ketu is exalted in Midhuna
and is in fall in Dhanu. Syama Sangraham says, that
Midhuna and Dhanu are exaltation and Neech for Rahu
and the reverse is true for Ketu. Sarvartha
Chintamani gives Vushabha-Vruchika, as exaltation
and debilitation for Rahu and Vruchika Vushabha, as
exaltation and debilitation for Ketu. Bhavartha
Ratnakara states, that Rahu is exalted in Vushabha
and Ketu in Vruchika and Rahu has Midhuna and
Karkataka, as his Multrikonas, while Ketu’s
Multrikonas are Dhanu and Makara. Also see Uttara
Kalamrita, Slokas 19-20 of Ch. IV, for more
information. There are, thus, varied views in this
regard.
Take the Multrikon Bhava of a Graha. The lords of
the 3rd, the 6th, the 7th, the 10th and the 11th
from that Bhava are inimical to that Grah. This rule
does not apply, if the said Bhava happens to be the
exaltation Bhava. The rulers of other Bhavas than
the ones mentioned above are friendly. There are
three kinds of relationships of Grahas, viz.
friendly, inimical and neutral.
Notes: For example, Kuja has his Multrikon in Mesha.
The 10th from there is his exaltation Bhava. Hence,
Sani is neutral to Kuja. Also see Phala Deepika, Ch.
2, Sloka 21.
There is temporary friendship between Grahas, if
they are mutually in the 3rd and the 11th, or the
12th and the 2nd, or the 4th and the 10th.
The eight quarters commencing from the East are
serially lorded by Surya, Sukra, Kuja, Rahu, Sani,
Chandra, Budha and Guru. These quarters have
strength at all times.
Notes: See note given under Sloka 2 of Ch. II for
details of directions with reference to Rasis.
The Grahas cast full Drishti on the 7th from their
position. The Drishti is 3/4th on the 4th and the
8th Bhavas. It is only half on the 5th and the 9th
Bhavas. A quarter glance is made on the 3rd and the
10th Bhavas. From Surya onwards, the Grahas have
rays thus: 20, 8, 10, 10, 12, 14 and 16. The 12 Rasi
possess the same rays, as their lords do.
Notes: Kuja has special full Drishti on the 4th and
the 8th, Guru can effectively lend full Drishti on
the 5th and the 9th, while Sani can give a full
Drishti to the 3rd and the 10th Bhavas. These are
additional Drishtis allotted to these three Grahas.
For more information, refer to Ch. II of Jataka
Parijata and S. 14 of Ch. II Brihat Jataka.
Surya, Guru and Kuja are masculine Grahas, while
Rahu, Sukra and Chandra belong to female group. Sani
and Budha are eunuchs.
Notes: Ketu is also a eunuch, as per Phala Deepika,
Ch. 2, Sloka 27.
