KendraVarga-viveka adhyāya śloka-33

अथाऽ यदिप व यािम मैत्रये णृु सु त।् लग्नतुयार् तिवयतां के द्रसंज्ञा िवशषेतः॥ ३३॥ athā'nyadapi vakṣyāmi maitreya srṛṇu suvrat |lagnaturyāstaviyatāṁ kendrasaṁjñā viśeṣataḥ

The four houses – Lagna, 4th, 7th and 10th bhāva have the distinction of being kendra bhāva. • Their superiority stems from the fact that each of them is a

special ascendant in itself – Udaya (1), Jala (4), Asta (7) and Ākāśa (10). They are kendra or center of all activity and thought that revolves around the four principal directions of life – Dharma (1), Artha (10), Kāma (7) and Mokṣa (4)

• Planets in Kendra bhāva have superior strength as they can compel a decision pertaining to the direction ruled by the Kendra

• To that extent, they can alter the power of the viṁśopāka bala calculated previously

Śubha YogaŚubha (Auspicious) Yoga is caused by benefics in 2nd OR 12th house from any bhāva, particularly KENDRA.Pāpa Yoga occurs when Malefics are in 2nd OR 12th

house instead.Śubha Kartari occurs when benefic planets are in 2nd AND 12th housePāpa Kartari occurs when malefic planets are in both 2nd

and 12th house12H: Planets in 12th from any bhāva (or planet) are its Starters, Instigators, Initiators and Supporters – if benefic. If malefic, they prevent starting or force suffering before starting.

2H Planets in 2H from any bhāva (or planet) are its Finishers, End, Māraka or Destroyer – especially when malefic. When benefic, they prevent destruction or give happy endingPlanets so placed in 12H or 2H from • Moon affect health and

longevity• Sun affect wealth, status,

finances• Lagna affect Buddhi

Dharma• 4H affect Śuddhi Mokṣa • 7H affect Vṛddhi Kāma • 10H affect Siddhi Artha

Artha Āyana If 9th Lord associates with• Sun – Father, Elder helps in getting

job or Career• Moon – Mother, elderly lady• Mars – Brother • Mercury – Cousin, Friend• Jupiter – Guru, Elder brother• Saturn – Servant etc.5H = 9th from 9th house timing the start of JobIf gaṇḍānta between 9H and 10H very difficult to get work and career. Gaṇḍānta remedy required.If 9th Lord is weak rāśi saṅdhi (saṅkrānti - Sun) duṣthāna (shadow - Sat) Maraṇa kāraka sthāna (Āyus – Jup)

etc.Then remedies required to strengthen, else very difficult to start career, jobs lacking

Whenever any bhāva is not starting or initiating, problem is more with the previous sign. Look at the 12H from it along with the bhāva.Successful completion is to be seen from 2H from the bhāva.

playing for a stake – 8H (2) a compact stipulation, treaty – 5H (3) a weight or measure like a coin -11H (4) any commodity that can be sold for a price, wealth, property, business worth – 2H

• phara means a shield or protection and refers to that which needs to be guarded – kavacha needed

Needless to say, one must be ever watchful or on guard with the paṇaphara. Evils can ruin life and wealth

TrikoṇaVarga-viveka adhyāya śloka-35 ½

लग्नात ् पंचमभाग्य य कोणसंज्ञा िवधीयते। lagnāt paṁcamabhāgyasya koṇasaṁjñā vidhīyate |The 5th and 9th bhāva from any kendra are to be known as its koṇa• Koṇa means a corner like that of a triangle

(as visible with trine houses). • However its implications are mostly

negative as causing change or instability. • It is hurtful and threatening like the sharp

edge of a sword. • Generally used with planet Saturn (9th

bhāva as slow, old) or planet Mars (5th

bhāva) – boisterous blundering boys

5th bhāva = Paṇaphara – needs protection from breakage; 9th bhāva is āpoklima – shedding tearsThe good fortune of Lakṣmī alone can ensure our safety through this ordeal

DuṣthānaVarga-viveka adhyāya śloka-35 ½

ष ठा ट ययभाबानां दःुसजं्ञाि त्रकसजं्ञकाः॥ ३५॥ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭavyayabhābānāṁ duḥsaṁjñāstrikasaṁjñakāḥThe 6th, 8th and 12th bhāva are duṣthāna (evil houses)• Chāyā bhāva – shadow houses are the 2nd, 6th, 8th

and 12th houses. Saturn in these houses can case terrible shadow.

• However, the 2nd bhāva is protected by Hari (lion, Viṣṇu)

• The remaining three – 6th, 8th and 12th are duṣthāna bhāva of which Saturn is the kāraka. Originally these houses are from the Sun. Later after creation (jātaka), the shadow transfers to the Lagna as well [all objects have shadows].

• 6th, 8th – negative shadow, 12th – positive shadow: one who follows throughout life = wife/husband

Even today the holy name of the Lion among gods [Hari] can drive away the shadows of winter.

Bhāva NamaVarga-viveka adhyāya śloka-38

संक्षेपेणौतदिुदतम य बु यनुसारतः। िकि च िवशेषं व यािम यथा भ ममुखा छुर्तम ्saṁkṣepeṇautaduditamanyad buddhyanusārataḥkiñcidviśeṣaṁ vakṣyāmi yathā bhahmamukhārcchutamIn a nutshell we have explained the bhāva and leave it to you to decipher the details through proper application of your intelligence. These names have been stated by Brahma and further information [on varga viveka] follows [next śloka]• Example: Bandhu means friend, relative, one who cares –

‘mother’ naturally comes first in this list followed by close friends, of who spouse is the closest.

• If Moon is in 4H, spouse maybe very good cook, if instead Rāhu is there she will surely have some foreign culture or great interest in research. One may have close friends in foreign lands.

• Take a bhāva name, and place each planet in it – then think.

from Venus while wife is in 7H from Lagna. Subsequent spouses are from every 8th house from this.

• Death is from the 8th and 12th bhāva from Lagna and Saturn. Lagna shows when we die while Saturn shows our attitude and experience of death, the event itself.
