Hora Sara
Chapter - 7.Ayurdayadhya

Notes: The suggestions given in Slokas 32-37 are for reductions applicable to two Rasis owned by one Grah and are called Ekadhipathya reductions, which should be done after trinal reductions. Since Chandra and Surya have each one Rasi only, there is no Ekadhipathya Shodhana for Karkataka and Shimha. The final figures in each Rasi, after effecting trinal reduction as well, as Ekadhipathya reduction, as above, be multiplied by the concerned Rasi multipliers and, if a particular Rasi is occupied the figure must be multiplied by the respective Grah’s multiplier. The Rasi multipliers from Mesha onwards are: 7, 10, 8, 4, 10, 5, 7, 8, 9, 5, 11 and 12, respectively. ‘The figures of multiplication for Guru, Kuja, Sukra and Budha are 10, 8, 7 and 5, respectively. The multiplier is 5, or other Grahas (i.e. for Surya, Chandra and Sani). The multipliers for Rasis and Grahas should be treated separately. The dots in the 12 Rasis, obtained after Trinal and Ekadhipathya reductions should be multiplied by Rasi multipliers individually. Should a Rasi be occupied by a Grah, the dots should be multiplied by Grah Gunakara. The Rasi figure and Grah figure (as obtained through process explained in Slokas 38-40˝) should be added in respect of each Grah, together. (This can be called Shodya Pinda. This Pinda should be multiplied by 7 and divided by 27. The quotient is years of longevity by the Grah concerned. Multiply the remainder by 27 to get months. The next remainder is multiplied by 30 and divided by 27 to get days. The latest remainder is multiplied by 60 and divided by 27 to get Ghatis. 27 years make one Mandala and so the years in excess of 27 (for each Grah) should be rejected. Notes: According to Sambhu Hora, if the contribution of years is in excess of 27, but less than 54, then subtract the quotient from 54. If the quotient is more than 54, subtract it from 81 and, if above 81 subtract from 108. The contribution of each Grah should be worked out, as explained in the Slokas above. The contribution of a Grah should be halved, if it is yuti with another Grah. Similar halving should be done, if a Grah is debilitated, or eclipsed. For a Grah posited in an enemy’s Bhava, the loss is one third. This applies also to those in the visible half of the Zodiac, those, that have lost in war between Grahas and those, that are in the Pata range of the luminaries. When a Grah warrants repeated deductions, then, only the highest should be done. The figures for all the Grahas should be added together and multiplied by 324 and divided by 365. The net longevity is equal to the quotient in the process. Notes: The above reductions are explained thus. Suppose Budha has contributed 12 years, the reductions are, as under: a) If he is along with another Grah, in the Rasi Kundali, then his contribution is halved, i. e. only 6 years; b) If Budha is combust, or in Neech, then also half is deduced. (Combustion need not necessarily occur, when Surya is in the same Rasi. Only the longitudinal distance counts. Suppose Budha is in 28 degrees of Shimha, while Surya is in 2 degrees of Kanya. Even then Budha is combust). c) If Budha in the example is in his enemy’s Bhava, then one third reduction should be made, i.e. 12 is reduced to 8. d) If it is in the visible half of the zodiac, then also 1/3rd should be rejected. Visible half means the area from Lagna BhavaMadhya to 7th BhavaMadhya counted backwards. According to Dr. B.V. Raman; the reduction for malefic Grahas in the visible half should be done, as under: 12th Bhava: Full, 11th 1/4th, 10th 1/3rd, 9th 1/4th, 8th 1/5th and 7th l/6th. He continues to say, that for benefics 50% of the above should be applicable for the 6 Bhavas. e) One third reduction is made, if a Grah is involved in war. (War does not apply to Surya and Chandra) f) One third reduction should be made, if a Grah is involved in Rahugrasta Surya, or Chandra Grahanas. Pata means Rahu’s path. Hence Pata range of Surya and Chandra is interpreted, as above. g) Only the highest reduction should be enforced, if a Grah attracts more than one reduction, as mentioned from a toe above. In such case, only half is reduced once. But according to Dr. Raman, there is full reduction in the case of a malefic in Vyaya (12th house) Bhava from Lagna, which of course can be done only once.
