Notes: The involvement of an odd Rasi is essential,
as they are male ones, so that a male issue is
obtained, vide points b) and e) above. The
conceptional Lagna, Guru, the luminaries and Sukra
being strong and in an odd Rasi can also lead to
birth of a son. As the conception time is difficult
to be obtained, one can safely depend upon Prashn
Kundali, or Janm Kundali. Should Chandra and Sukra
be chiefly important, there will be birth of a
female.
The following combinations (at the time of
intercourse) lead to birth of a female issue: a)
Chandra and Sukra together in Putr, or Karma (10th
house)Bhava; b) Chandra and Sukra in their own Rasis
and, or Navamsh; c) Rahu rising and receiving a
Drishti from Chandra, or vice versa. d) Sukra in
Chandra’s Hora, or in Kendr from Lagna.
Notes: Sukra should preferably be in Vushabha
Vargas, as it is his female Rasi. Tula is a male
Rasi.
Should Budha be in a dual Rasi coinciding with Lagna,
or, when a dual Rasi is Lagna and in Drishti to
Budha, or Budha is in Karma (10th house)Bhava (at
the time of intercourse), birth of twins is
indicated. The sex of the children can be guessed by
the Rasi and Navamsh involved.
Notes: Budha is an important Grah in the assessment
of twin birth. And Midhuna Rasi ascending can lead
to twin birth. Further, if Surya and Guru are
posited in Dhanu, or Midhuna in any Bhava,
especially, as Putra (5th house) Bhava, birth of
twins is indicated. Chandra and Kuja in Meena, or in
Kanya receiving a Drishti from Budha lead to the
same effect. According to Ramadayalu’s Sanketa Nidhi,
Ch. 11, Sloka 3, when Surya is in a quadruped Rasi
and other Grahas in dual Rasis with strength it
indicates twin birth.
The following positions (at the time of intercourse)
doubtlessly lead to birth of twins: a) Both Chandra
and Sukra in even Rasis, or in dual Navamshas (in
female Rasis, like Vushabha, Karkataka etc., or in
Midhuna Navamsh and its Kendras); b) Budha in Lagna,
while Kuja and Guru are in odd Rasis.
Notes: The first combination can lead to birth of
two female issues, as Chandra and Sukra are female
Grahas. The latter combination is capable of giving
two male issues, as Guru and Kuja are masculine
Grahas.
Should Lagna and Chandra be in even Rasis and
receive a Drishti from a strong Grah, then there are
twins in the womb (one female and one male). Similar
results follow, if Chandra and Sukra are in even
Rasis, while Guru, Kuja, Budha and Lagna are posited
in odd Rasis, or in dual Rasis and are with
strength, (Slokas 21 and 22, Ch. 8 of Saravali, my
English translation) Incidentally, from the said
Ch., we see below the combinations of Grahas for
birth of triplets: The following Yogas prevailing at
the time of Adhana lead to birth of triplets: a)
Budha remaining in Midhuna Navamsh giving a Drishti
to a Grah, who also falls in a dual Navamsh; b)
Budha remaining in Midhuna Navamsh giving a Drishti
to a dual Rasi, which ascends; c) Budha in Kanya
Navamsh giving a Drishti to a Grah falling in dual
Navamsh; d) Budha in Kanya Navamsh giving a Drishti
to a dual Rasi, which ascends. e) Budha in Midhuna
Amsh giving a Drishti to a Grah in Midhuna Amsh, or
Dhanu Amsh; f) Budha in Midhuna Navamsh giving a
Drishti to Lagna, which falls in Midhuna Navamsh, or
in Dhanu Navamsh; g) Budha in Kalatra (7th house)
Bhava giving a Drishti to a Grah in Kanya/Meena
Navamsh, or giving a Drishti to such Lagna Navamsh.
Combinations a) and b) lead to birth of triplets one
female and two males. Combinations c) and d) cause
birth of triplets consisting of two females and one
male. Combinations at e) and f) cause three male
children, while Combinations at g) indicate birth of
three female issues.
Jataka Parijata, Ch. III quotes more combinations
for birth of triplets, which the reader may consult.
For birth of more than three issues, here is a
combination: Dhanu Lagna in Vargothama, while all
Grahas with strength being in any Rasi, but in Dhanu
Navamsh. The said Lagna should, however, receive a
Drishti from Budha and Sani (see Sloka 25, Ch. III,
Jataka Parijata).
