9-10. The places mentioned above are auspicious for
the various planets and the others are inauspicious.
Planets transiting Signs with more benefic dots will
reveal auspicious results, while inauspicious
results will come to pass in case of transits in
Signs with less benefic dots. Benefic results will
be predominant, if these Signs happen to be
exaltation, own, friendly etc. and malefic effects
will be ordinary. Similarly in debilitation/inimical
Signs, malefic results will be more and benefic
effects will be ordinary. In giving transit effects,
the Sun and Mars will be effective, while in the
beginning of the Sign, Jupiter and Venus, while in
the middle of the Sign and lastly Saturn and the
Moon, while in the end of the Sign. Mercury is
effective in his transit through the whole Sign.
Thus ends the 53rd Ch. entitled “ASHTAKAVARGA” in
Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
