The evils to the parents and the characteristics of
birth time along with circumstances leading to
(infant) death are dealt with in this Ch..
The Grahas in the first six Bhavas yield good
results (directly to the native), while those in the
second half of the zodiac yield indirect results.
Surya and Chandra represent father and mother,
respectively, of the living beings. After assessing
strength and weakness of the two Grahas predictions
should be made about parents.
Notes: According to Brihat Jataka, Ch. IV, Sloka 5,
Surya and Sukra indicate father and mother of the
native for day birth and Sani and Chandra play these
parts, respectively, for night birth. The same view
is expressed in Phala Deepika (Ch. II, Sloka 22) and
also in Saravali.
In this context, an important principle is to be
noted from Sanketa Nidhi, Ch. II, Sloka 25. Note the
pair of the Grahas concerning the father and the
mother in a day birth, or night birth, as the case
may be. The effect will be full, if the birth is in
the beginning of day, or night, as the case may be;
the effects will be medium, if the birth is in
middle portion and almost little in the concluding
portion. For example, a person born in the beginning
of night, or day will enjoy full results in regard
to parents, while a person born at the end of day,
or night will have little results in the same
respect. (This will also depend to an equal extent
on the Grahas concerned).
Should Surya receive Drishti from malefics and join
them, or remain in their clutches hemmed between
them, then evil is portended to the father of the
child thus born.
If there are exclusively bad Grahas in the 6th and
the 8th, or in the 4th and the 8th from Surya,
without help from benefics, then evil is indicated
to the father.
Should Surya in Mesha/Vruchika Navamsh receive a
Drishti from Sani (in the Rasi Kundali), the elder
brother, or elder sister, or the father of the child
is extinguished.
Notes: Surya in Tula in Vishakah first quarter (i.e.
Mesha Navamsh) and receiving a Drishti from Sani
will cause special effects in regard to father’s
death. Sani, or Surya related to Labha (11th house)
Bhava will have a telling effect on the elder
brother, or elder sister of the native, in the
combination mentioned in the verse.
The child will not see its father, if Kuja is in
Matru (4th house) Bhava, or in Bhagya (9th house)
Bhava and falls in the Navamsh of Shimha, (Makara,
or Kumbha), without receiving a Drishti from Guru,
or Sukra.
On the same lines, through Chandra, the evils to
mother can be known.
If Chandra is waning and has only malefics in the
5th, or the 9th from her, but is without benefic’s
association, the child will be deprived of its
mother.
Sani and Kuja in a Kendr of Chandra (either jointly,
or separately) and in one Navamsh will give two
mothers to the child to live with.
Notes: “Two mothers” may be interpreted, as one
having a step-mother. Alternatively, he may be
brought up by another lady, who is equal to mother.
It is by the strength, or weakness of Sani and Kuja,
that the birth takes place in the house of the
father and the mother, respectively. Should Lagna’s
Lord be strong, father’s place will be birth place.
Notes: It may further be noted, that, if Pitru Karak
Grah is strong, birth would have been in father’s
place and, if Matru Karak is strong, birth is in the
place of the mother. Jataka Tatwa (Vide II, B-21)
says, that delivery will take place in the house of
the father, the mother, or other relatives, as
indicated by the strongest Grah.
If Surya occupies a movable Rasi in Rasi and in
Navamsh Kundali, the father of the child was away
(at time of birth). Should Surya give a Drishti to
Lagna, it is not so. If Chandra is in a similar
state, the father should be declated to have been
away at the time of birth of the child.
