ToThe Editor,Saptarishis Astrologywww.saptarishiastrology.com

Sir,We enclose herewith a detailed article on Jaimini's Upapada for publication, if that meets your standards.

Upapada Sutras by Shri. Jaimini are drafted for male nativities. Modern day females have right to select/reject/divorce their husbands on various grounds of disharmony, physical, mental or sexual disabilities. Lookinginto the needs of modern times, we were desperate that Upadesha Sutras become applicable to female charts also.

After years of experimentation we discoveredAgra (A) sign, for finding Upapada for female charts. Thus

Dhanu is Aroodha of Mesha, whose lord occupies the fifth house from it. This rule is applicable to allnon-kendra placement of sign lords.

Special Rules: (1)svasthe daaraaH.(SvSwedara>,) (2) sutasthe janmaH. (sutSwe jNm>,) now

daaraaH(dara>)is plural of (the word) daaraa(dara). So, it refers to more than one sign or bhava.Sva (

Sv)has more than one meaning. (i) Swa is own. (ii) Putting numerical value to Swa is 4. (iii)Dara's numerical value is, Da = 8. Ra = 2. If written in speaking order, it is 28. expunging multiples of 12,we get 4.[Having collected the numbers from the letters used, we have to reverse them. Then divide the

same figure by twelve, and obtain the remainder. Thus the word

daaraa(dara)stands for28 divided by12, it stands for the figure 4indicating 4

th

house.]If Simha lord is placed in his own sign, there is zero gap between sign and sign lord, in terms of signs.Rishi says extend this gap to 4 signs, eg. If Mars is in Mesha, its pada is in Kataka.

The second connotation is that, if that gap between sign and sign lord is four signs, [then also extend toanother further a total of four signs], to get Aroodha, eg. If Mars, the Lord of Meshais placed in Cancer,count four signs away [from Kataka] which is Tula, which is Aroodha of Mesha. These are special rulesfor [concerned] sign lord's placement in first Kendra, but second Kendra placement from his sign comesunder general rules to which one sign reduction is applicable in Aroodha to retro lords of Pitree,

Agrachara and Anuchara signs. sutasthe janmaH.(sutSwejNm>,)is special rule for placement of sign lord

in the 3rd Kendra to his sign. The word Suta (sut) is seven, and the word Janma (jNm) is ten,numerically, under katapayadi paddhati. This rule says, if sign lord is placed in seventh from its sign,though gap is seven signs, extend it ten signs ahead to reach the Aroodha. This is the rule for third

Kendra placement. To the fourth Kendra placement general rule is applicable, as no specific rule hasbeen framed. These Kendra placement rules override vriddha karikas and their followers. Rishi rejectsthem.

Summary of Padas:

Placement of Sign Lord Aroodha of Sign

First House Fourth HouseSeventh House Fourth HouseSecond House Third HouseEighth House Third House

Third House Fifth HouseNinth House Fifth HouseFourth House Seventh HouseTenth House Seventh HouseFifth House Ninth HouseEleventh House Ninth HouseSixth House Eleventh HouseTwelfth House Eleventh House

This summary of padas (Aroodhas) is valid where Lagna degrees and Planet degrees are not available.

Wherever this information is available the padas are calculated by formula:

Pada = Sphuta (degrees) of bhava lord X 2 Bhava sphuta.

Under special rules, simply add 90, 120, 180 etc. to the bhava sphuta to get the Pada.

Pitree (ipt&)is a key word in definition. Almost all scholars have put numerical value of Pitree

(ipt&)condensed to one i.e. rising Lagna [bhava]. A careful study of Jaimini Sutras will reveal that, hispredictions on Jataka are not based on rising lagna but, on derived lagnas such as seven karakamshalagnas, twelve Aroodha Lagnas, [including one Upapada-Lagna], Varnada Lagna, Gulika etc.

Bhavesha Ashraya Raashi (avez Aay razI thatistheRashi that gives shelter to the Bhava lord)

is very significant in Aroodha system. Here rising lagna is subordinate to the sign of placement forLagna Lord, because the placement sign is the place in the horoscope from where it shall discharge its

horoscopic dutiesby aspects and other relationships. Hence, placement sign is called Pitree (ipt&)Bhava.

(avezaey itit s> ipt&,).This concept has given excellent results in age calculations, in thousands of horoscopes.

Anuchara(Anucr)is the one that follows the person ahead of him. Suppose A, B, C three personsare standing in queue. A is first in queue, B second, and C as third. Hence B is anuchara of A. C is

anuchara of B. A is leader of(Acr) of B. B is Agrachara(Acr) of C. Applying this logic to signs that

rise in the east. Suppose Mesha is rising in the East, whose Agrachara (Acr) was Mina. When it

passes off, Vrishabha shall follow as Anuchara(Anucr).

We shall chart the odd signs as per Praachi VrittiH Vishameshu' (acIv&I iv;me;u).For odd signs:

Anuchara sign (Anucr razI)is relevant for male nativity and Agrachara sign (Acr razI)for female nativity. As

per Vedic tradition, wife is Anuchara follower or one who walks behind) of husband, and Husband is leader or

one who walks ahead) Agrachara.

Having understood Pitree, Anuchara and Padam, we can easily locate Upapada in any horoscope.Please note, in Aroodha, no distinction is made between even and odd signs. Their count is alwaysforward. If a bhava lord is retrograde, such retrogration needs special attention and are subject in

themselves, as explained herein after. Sri Jaimini gives following Sutras.

papSy papyaegeJya darnazaeva, (Paapasya Paapayoge pravajyaa Daara Naasho Vaa.) (J.S. 01.04.05.)

In a nutshell, benefics by aspect (Jaiminian Aspects) and conjunction on Upapada, or its lord,blesses native with blissful married life. While malefics create differences, tensions, quarrels, disloyaltyand even divorce. It has been observed that, Ketu by aspect or conjunction on Upapada or its lord, deniesmarriage. If benefics force marriage. Ketu kills spouse or destroys marriage, while other malefics createdisharmony.

Practical utility of Upapada is available in the following horoscope discussed by late Dr. B. V.Raman, at page 760, of October 1986 issue of [The] Astrological Magazine. In this piece Raman givesinstance of his flop interpretation of Kalatra Bhava of one Sri Acharya of Tirupati at Allahabad inMarch 1938.

How is my Kalatra Bhava? was asked by 48 years old Acharya. Mr. Raman writes - my analysiswas simple following Parashara. The lord of the seventh house Sun is in Kendra in association with

Jupiter and Mercury and otherwise un-afflicted. Depositor of Sun, Mars is exalted, but in the twelfthhouse with Venus and Ketu, aspected by Lagna lord Saturn. Thus, while the seventh house is somewhatafflicted, there is no denial of marriage. Since Moon is in a malefic sign and aspected by Saturn andMars. This makes you impulsive and quarrelsome. Due to this, your wife could have left or died.

The Acharya became furious and remarked that, he took pity on his knowledge. He said, "Noastrologer in India including 'Jyotisha Samrat' has succeeded in analyzing correctly my seventh house.He told - 'My first marriage took place in my 12th year and wife died in 18th year. And my second wifemarriage performed in the 18th years and bore me two sons and four daughters. She also died in 41styear. My third marriage was performed when I was 43 years and she too died in my 47th year, aftergiving birth to a female child, who also died. Today, I have no wife and have come to this place to spendrest of my life. I myself know astrology but cannot figure out which yoga have caused these deaths''.

The horoscope quoted by Shri Raman is difficult to decode as far as 7th house is concerned.

Using Jaimini definition of Upapada we shall try to understand, whether it is applicable to this chart.The sign allotted to Lagna Lord Saturn is Kataka (an even sign). It also is Pitree. It qualifies forbackward counting. Its Anuchara is Mithun. (See chart of Anuchara and Agrachara). Aroodha forMithun is Mesha, which becomes Upapada. It is a malefic sign. But sign lord being exalted should grantmultiple wives which it did grant. But how many? Three benefics Sun, Mercury and Jupiter aspectUpapada, denoting three wives.

But all died. Ketu's conjunction or aspect on Upapada or its lord, or both or on marriage grantingplanets, destroys wives (spouses). Here Ketu joins Upapada lord (Mars) and aspects three marriagesgranting planets destroying all marriages.

End of Part I

We will demonstrate role of Ketu on Upapada over dozen cases in Part II. Thereby confirmingour interpretation of Upapada passes the test of scrutiny.

Upapada Part II

Deviating entirely from traditional meaning of Upapada we have visualizednew conceptof Pitree [sign]

(ipt& razI) and Anuchara [sign] (Anucr razI) and proposed Agrachara [sign] (Acr razI) for femalenatives. We have made random selection of charts from various sources - astrodata bank - Articles by

renowned authors appearing in widely read magazines.

We observe that, in cases of celibacy (Siddhas, Shankaracharyas, Spiritual men) no marriages,disharmony, divorce or destruction of spouse, Ketu is involved by aspect or conjunction over Upapada sign orUpapada Lord. In the first place Ketu denies marriage and if benefics force marriage, it destroys them.

Ketu isnowhere involved with Upapada and its lord, the native should have been a family man. Has Jaiminianfailed ? No. Notice carefully Kanyaa sphuta is 176036' (i.e. Lagna Sphuta minus 600.) and Mercury is 212058'. The gap between them is 36012'. When we add 36012 to the longitudes of Mercury, thatis 212058',we get 249010', i.e. Dhanu becomes Upapada. Which is under aspect of Ketu, along with Venus. Ketuhas destroyed sensuous, Venusian role and made him Brahmachari and Spiritual Man.

Now, we will discuss difficult charts, where Lagna lord or Lords of Anuchara and Agrachara bhavas arein retrogration. Here, Upapada worked out in normal procedure, do not respond to the realities of life.How to tackle them? There is no guideline in texts.

We are of the view, that retrograde planets have their corpus or body in one sign, and theirinclinations are focused in the previous sign. Compare such a planet to a retreating soldier who is firingin his front, but stepping backward to his previous bunker for safety. In such a situation, we propose touse both signs - sign of placement and previous sign. Take Agrachara / Anuchara bhavas from previous sign,but keep the order of forward and backward count applicable to sign of placement of retrograde plane.

To explain the thought, an illustration chart is given.

Dhanu is Lagna and its lord Jupiter, as retrograde, is placed in Mithun, which is Pitree. It's body isplaced in 7th bhava, while it's inclinations are towards 6thbhava. Take Agrachara and Anuchara fromVrishabha, but count will be forward, as Pitree is an odd sign. If it is male chart, Anuchara is Mithuna,follower of Vrishabha. If it is female chart, Agrachara is Mesha, predecessor of Vrishabha. Let us

prepare chart of Agrachara and Anuchara signs, for odd and even Pitree Lagna signs having retrogradeplanet.

Having fixed the procedure for locating Anuchara/Agrachara signs, we might face another problem inlocating Aroodha for Anuchara/Agrachara signs, if their lords are retrograde. We propose to locateAroodha as usual, but reduce one sign from suchAroodhato reach Upapada.

Agrachara

Pitree Vrishchika. Lagna lord Retrograde. As per Retrograde chart, Agrachara is Vrishchika. Upapadabeing Meena. Ketu aspects Jupiter. Upapada Lord being Uccha, showing multiple marriages. She

became widow early in life.

It is likely that, there might be cases which do not respond to Upapada and Ketu combination. Weremember a Chandrakaka Nadi dictum "based on Parashara Principles' that, a male who has Jupiter inthe 3rdhouse, will make his in-laws (from where he gets wife) prosperous {7th is spouse or wife, 9thfrom 7this 3rdhis in-laws (Wife's father)}. Another dictum - aspect or conjunction of Rahu + Saturn on3rd house, or its lord, destroys chances of marriage. If the marriage does occur then suchaspect/conjunction, destroys the marriage.

So far we have demonstrated the effects of ketu on Upapada. Over the centuries astrological scholarswere unable to crack Upapada, and thus discarded it, as useless, having no practical value.It is surprising - even 'Chandra Kala Naadi' which uses every tool of prediction, prescribed by ShriParashara has not made a mention of Upapada even once. This may be due to the way Upapada hadbeen defined under Parashara system, in their times, did not match with realities of Life. Therefore,they dropped Upapada in their Nadi.

We have presented before astrological community interpretation of Upapada as defined by Shri Jaiminiand its utility. Still more work, is needed on this topic. Some one will do that in future.

We would request the parents that apart from traditional method of horoscopic matching, they shouldalso study Upapada of 'WOULD-BE' (Groom/bride) before taking final decision.

We are of the opinion that, each Jaimini Sutra is a topic in itself. Perhaps nobody knows that simple

looking first Sutra of Jaimini %pdez,contains full profile of Jaimini Jataka Shastra having581 sutras spread over 3 chapters each divided into 4 sections each. We propose to write on it, some day.Lastly would like to thank Shri K. Bhushan, one of the senior most student of this shastra in thiscountry & always a great inspiration to me and others, with whom this particular discussion onUpapada & Pitree dates back to 11 years back & without whose support this article would not have beenwritten.
