1-2. Maitreya said. O Sage! You have so far
described the auspicious and inauspicious effects to
be enjoyed, or suffered by a person on the basis of
the time of birth, but can the auspicious and
inauspicious be ascertained, when the time of birth
is not known? Kindly tell me, if there is any way to
solve this problem.
3-4. The Sage said. Your question is a good one
and is for the benefit of the world at large.
Considering your attachment, I will tell you about
this problem also. If any, or all amongst the
Samvatsar, Ayana, Ritu, month, Paksha, Tithi,
Nakshatr, Lagn, Rashi, or Amsas etc. of the birth
are not known, these can be ascertained from Prasna
Lagn (Query chart).
5-6. The Samvatsar of the birth of the querist
will be the same, as that of the Rashi in the
Dwadasams, in which the Prasna Lagn falls (Guru will
be in that Rashi at birth). Saumyayan (Uttarayan -
the northern course of Sūrya) will be in the first
Hora of Lagn and Yamyayan (Dakshinayan - the
southern course of Sūrya) will be in its second Hora.
The Ritu (season) may be determined with reference
to the Lord of the Drekkan, in which Lagn falls.
Shishir will be indicated by the Drekkan of Śani,
Grishma by that of Sūrya and Mangal, Vasanta by that
of Śukr, Varsha by that of Candr, Sharad by that of
Budh and Hemanta by that of Guru.
7. If there be any contradiction in the Ayana and
Ritu, the Ritu may be determined from Budh in place
of Mangal, from Śukr in place of Candr and from Śani
in place of Guru.
8-9. After the Ritu becomes known take the first
part of the Drekkan, as its first month and latter
part, as the next month of the Ritu. Then from the
expired Amsas of the Drekkan determine
proportionately the Tithi, or the Amsas of Sūrya.
The Istakal, indicated by the Amsas (degrees) of
Sūrya, will be the time of the birth of the querist.
From the Istakal so calculated have to be worked out
the longitudes of the Grahas and Bhavas (Grah Spast
and Bhava Spast). Predictions should then be made in
accordance with the dispositions of the Bhavas and
Grahas.
10. Maitreya asked. O Sage! Guru returns to the
same Rashi after every 12 years. Then from which
circle of Guru should Samvatsar be determined.
11-12. The Sage said in reply. O Maitreya! When
there is any doubt about the Samvatsar, take the
approximate age of the querist and add multiples of
12 to the difference between the Rashi of the Guru
at the time of query and his Rashi at the time of
birth. The figure so arrived at should be taken, as
the possible number of years and the Samvatsar
should be determined accordingly. If by adding 12
there may appear to be difference in age, the
position of Guru should be fixed, according to
guessed approximate age, in the Trikon Rashi, 5th,
or 9th of the Prasna Lagn, as may be
found feasible. Then, taking that, as the Samvatsar,
the Ayana, Ritu etc. should be worked out
accordingly in the manner already explained.
13. Maitreya asked again. O Sage! How will the
time of birth be known after ascertaining the month
and the Amsas etc. of Sūrya. Please explain this for
the benefit of the people.
14-16.The Sage said. After ascertaining the Rashi,
Amsas etc. of Sūrya at the time of birth, the
longitude of Sūrya (Sūrya Spast) should be worked
out for the next day after the number of days, taken
by Sūrya after entering into the Rashi, which will
be equal to the expired Amsas of Sūrya. Then the
difference between the longitudes of this rising
Sūrya and Sūrya at the time of birth should be
converted into Kalas and multiplied by 60. The
product should be divided by Sūrya Spast, converted
into Kalas. The Ghatikas etc. so becoming available
will represent the Istakal of the birth before and
after sunrise. If the longitude of the Ista Sūrya be
more than that of the rising Sūrya, the Istakal of
the birth will be so much after the sunrise. If the
longitude of the Ista Sūrya be less than that of the
rising Sūrya, the Istakal of the birth will be so
much before the sunrise.
