Ch. 20. Combinations For
Renunciation
1. Various sages have explained widely the
combinations of four, or more planets producing an
ascetic. I now explain below such of the Yogas.
2. One born with the conjunction of the Sun, the
Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mars; or the Luminaries,
Mercury and Mars; or the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Mercury
and Venus becomes an ascetic.
3. The native having the combination of Mars, the
Luminaries (i.e. the Sun and the Moon), Mercury and
Jupiter; or the Luminaries, Saturn and Mercury; or
the Luminaries, Mars and Saturn takes to
renunciation and become a mendicant.
4. The Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury-being
together, or Mars, the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter
joining denotes a mendicant.
5. Should Venus, the Sun, Mars and Saturn; or
Jupiter, Mars, the Sun and Saturn; or Mars, the
Moon, Jupiter and Saturn with strength be in
conjunction at birth, native takes to asceticism.
6. One will be initiated into a religious vow, if
anyone of the following group of planets be found
together at birth: d) Mars. Saturn, Mercury and
Jupiter; 2) Mars, Saturn Mercury, the Sun and Venus;
3) the Luminaries, Mars Saturn and Venus.
7. One becomes a mendicant to live in forests and
hilly areas, if the planets group themselves in
conjunction at birth, as under: 1) Venus, Mars,
Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun; 2) Mars, the Moon,
Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn; 3) Venus, Mercury,
Saturn, the Moon and Mars.
8. The native will become a sage, giving up (even)
his food and be honoured by the people, if the
heavenly bodies form conjunction, as under: 1) The
Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and the Sun; 2) The
Luminaries, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
9. The native will be initiated into a religious
vow, if 1) the Luminaries, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter
and Saturn, or 2) The Moon, Mars, Saturn, Mercury,
Jupiter and the Sun, or 3) Mars, the Luminaries,
Saturn, Venus and Mercury, join together at birth.
10. A famous sage is indicated by the combination of
1) the Luminaries, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, or 2)
Venus, the Luminaries, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.
11. Note the conjunction of the following planets:
1) Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the
Sun. 2) Venus, the Luminaries, Saturn, Jupiter and
Mercury. It indicates an ascetic.
12. If conjunction is found among the planetary
group, viz. 1) the Luminaries, Jupiter and Saturn;
2) Saturn, the Luminaries and Venus; 3) Sun,
Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, the native will become an
ascetic living on roots and fruits.
13. The native will become an ascetic with bark
garments, if Mars, the Sun, Mercury and Venus are
found together at birth. The same effect follows the
conjunction of Mars, the Moon, Jupiter and Mercury.
14. A patient ascetic (awaiting the blessing of the
Supreme) is indicated by either the combination of
the Moon, Mercury, Mars and Saturn, or of Mercury,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
15. A sage living only by eating fruits is denoted
by the combination of the Luminaries, Venus and
Mercury; or Mars, Mercury, Venus and Saturn; or
Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter and Venus.
16. An ascetic, who will be highly honourable,
living in forests, is denoted by each of the under
mentioned planetary conjunctions: 1) The Sun, Mars,
the Moon and Venus, 2) the Luminaries, Mars and
Mercury, 3) Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the Sun, 4)
Venus, Jupiter, the Moon and Mars.
17. Find the planets together in individual groups,
as under 1) Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn,
2) the Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, 3)
The Luminaries, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter. The
result is, that the ascetic will be sorrowful
(Unsuccessful mendicant).
18. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury with
strength, or Saturn, the Sun, Mercury, the Moon and
Mars with strength in conjunction produce one with
clotted hair and bark-garments.
19. The Luminaries, Mercury, Mars and Venus, or the
Luminaries, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, if be together,
the native certainly will become an ascetic.
20. If the Sun denotes asceticism (i.e. being the
strongest in the Yoga), there will only be faith in
the religious order, while competence (to fulfill
the order) will lack. If the planet, contributing to
such order is overpowered by another planet (i.e. in
eclipse, planetary war etc.) the native will give up
the order after being initiated into it. Should many
planets denote such an order, there may be many
kinds of religious orders, but these will depend on
the order of the planet.
21. If the planet indicating asceticism is combust
in the Sun, or is aspected by another heavenly body,
the native will only have an earnest desire to be
initiated into the religious order, but will not
attain fruition of his aim. So say Yavanas.
22. The native will attain religious order, if the
Moon, posited in a decanate of Saturn, is aspected
by Mars and Saturn. The same effect is produced, if
the Moon occupies the Navansa of Aries/Scorpio in
aspect to Saturn.
23. If the Lord of the Moon Sign receives the sole
aspect of Saturn (i.e. unaspected by others than
Saturn), one will enter religious order. Even in
this context, the earlier Yogas, if present will
only prevail.
24. If the Lord of the Moon Sign, bright with rays,
lends his aspect to Saturn, while Saturn is in an
Angle, the native will lose his fortunes only to
enter into a religious order.
25. If one among the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter be
devoid of strength and occupy the Ascendant, or the
10th, or the 12th in aspect to strong Saturn, the
native will become distressed ascetic.
26. Should the Moon with strength be in the 10th,
falling in a benefic's Navansa, while others occupy
their exaltation marks and all being in aspect to
strong Saturn, the native will become the Lord of
the earth to only become an ascetic.
27. If waxing Moon, with superior strength, aspects
the Ascendant Lord, the latter being bereft of
strength and being alone (in that Rasi), the native
will be devoid of wealth and own men, be miserable,
sorrowful, will take to asceticism and will obtain
his food with great inconvenience.
28. One will become a religious mendicant, if Saturn
occupying a benefic's Navansa aspects others
including the Moon. The Moon in this case should
only be in Aquarius Navansa.
29. If the Lord of the Moon Sign aspects all the
other planets, while these are all together in one
Rasi, the native will become an ascetic.
30. The Sun rules the ascetics of the following
orders: Those, who worship the Fire God in forests,
or on river banks, those, who worship (the
omnipotent) Sun-God, Elephant-faced Ganesa and His
benevolent mother Parvati, those, who recite the
hymns of Gayatri (which are very sacred), those, who
are vowed to bathe in the sacred Ganges everyday and
those, who maintain (absolute) celibacy.
31. The religious order belonging to the Moon
attracts the following various persons: Those
disciples, who smear their bodies with sacred ashes,
those, who worship the Feet of Lord Shiva, those,
who are abandoned by the society, those, who are
devoted to Bhagavati, those, who give up company of
others, those, who take to Soma Siddhanta and those,
who carry bowls in their hands (for begging alms).
32. The Buddhist monks, the tonsured, those, who
wear white apparels, those, who beg wearing good
robes, those, who wear blood-red clothes and those,
that have conquered their five senses-all these
mendicants are ruled by Mars.
33. Mercury denotes an alm-seeker, a conjurer, a
snake poison curer and one, who eats the flesh of a
peacock.
34. The ascetics ruled by Jupiter are: those, who
hold a single scepter (or mace), those, who hold
three scepters, those, who wear red coloured
apparels, those, who are in the third stage of their
religious life, those, who pull on their lives with
fruits and water (alone), those, who still are
attached to family ties, those, who maintain
celibacy and those, who take to visiting shrines
etc.
35. Venus rules the mendicants of Saivite and
Vaish-navite sects.
36. Religious hypocrites, bare mendicants and the
ascetics, who sit under shadowy trees in forests are
ruled by Saturn.
37. Should Raja Yogas be simultaneously present
along with the above ascetic Yogas, all the evil
results are nullified and the native will become
very virtuous, will be adorned by all the kings.
himself becoming a king and will take to religious
order.
Thus ends the 20th Ch., entitled ‘Combinations for
Renunciation' in Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
