The reductions for Kuja should be done here too, as
explained for Pindayurdaya and, while occupying
inimical Bhavas. Lagna will contribute the same
number of years, as the Navamshas attained by it.
Amshaurdaya shall be resorted to, if Lagna is the
strongest. Should Surya be the strongest, then
Pindayurdaya is recommended. Naisargikayu is
adopted, if Chandra is the strongest. If all the
Grahas be in own Bhavas, exaltation Bhavas, or in
such Navamshas, then also Amshayurdaya is
recommended. The same applies, if the Grahas are not
yuti with Lagna, Surya and Chandra.
There is another method of Ayurdaya enumerated by
Jeevasarma. I now detail the same in the following
verses.
Note the longitudinal distance between a Grah’s
position and its deep fall degree. Convert this into
minutes and divide by 21600. The quotient will
reveal the years contributed. The remainder should
be multiplied by 12 and divided again by 21, the
quotient is months. Again multiply the latest
remainder by 21600. The days are represented by the
quotient. Multiply the latest remainder by 60 and
the quotient will yield Ghaties.
Notes: If the Grah is past its debilitation point
and be towards its exaltation, then the longitudinal
distance be calculated from deep fall to its
position.
Reduce 17 year I month 22days 8 Ghaties and 34
Vighaties, if the Grah is close to its exaltation.
Should it be close to its debilitation, then add a
similar figure.
The deductions do not apply to Sukra and Sani, if
they are eclipsed and also to Kuja in his enemy’s
Bhava.
Lagna’s contribution is equal to the number of
Navamshas it attained. A malefic there in reduces
the figure by one fourth and a benefic there in
increases the figure by one fourth.
According to Jeevasarma, Grahas in Dhana ( 2nd
house)and Vyaya (12th house) Bhava from Lagna and
Grahas in the 2nd and the 12th from Chandra, all
Grahas near their debilitation point, those, that
are devoid of strength and those in Lagna, or in
Kalatra (7th house) Bhava will reduce the
contribution to one seventh of the total life.
Now, about Trinal reduction (Trikon Shodhana) with
reference to Ashtak Vargas. First draw a Kundali of
Rasis, as usual. Mark benefic dots of Ashtak Varg of
the Grah required and then Trikon reductions should
be made.
Notes: The author now deals with the Matru (4th
house) system of assessing longevity. For detailed
calculations of Ashtak Varg system refer to works,
like Brihat Jataka, Saravali, Dr. B.V. Raman’s
Ashtak Varg System of Predictions etc.
Simultaneously, Ch. 17 infra may also be seen.
For the purpose of deductions take the sets of Mesha
and its Konas, Vushabha and its Konas, Midhuna and
its Konas and Karkataka and its Konas In each set,
whichever is the least, put the same in the other
two. If one of the three is vacant, no change should
be made in the other two. If two Rasis are vacant,
then the third one should also be made dotless.
Lastly, if all the three Rasis are equal with dots,
vacate dots in all the three Rasis.
The above is the method of trinal reductions. Now
the method of reduction to the pairs of Rasis, which
have common lords is explained below. This is called
Ekadhipathya Shodhana. This reduction is applicable,
when there are benefic dots in both the Rasis owned
by a Grah. Should there be less number of dots in a
Rasi, while the other Rasi (of the same Grah) is not
occupied, the smaller number of dots shall be used
for both the Rasis. If the occupied Rasi has more
dots than the occupied Rasi, then make the dots nil
in the unoccupied Rasi. (The occupation can be by
any Grah) Similar reduction applies, when there are
equal number of dots in both the Rasis owned by a
Grah, but one of them should be free from
occupation. Should both the Rasis be occupied, no
reduction shall be made. Should there be the same
number of dots in both the Rasis, which are not
occupied, dots should be made nil in both the Rasis.
If one of the Rasis is vacant in respect of dots,
retain dots in the other Rasi. The rules for
Ekadhipathya Shodhana do not apply to Karkataka and
Shimha.
