Ch. 31. Argala, or Intervention from Planets 
1. O Mahārśi Parashara, you have told of auspicious effects, related to Argala. Kindly narrate its conditions and effects.

2-9. Formation of Argala. Maitreya, I explain below Argala to know the definite effects of Houses and Planets. Planets in the 4th, 2nd and the 11th cause Argalas, while obstructors of the Argala will be those in the 10th, 12th and 3rd from a House, or a Planet. If the Argala causing Planet is stronger than the obstructing one, the former will prevail. Or, if the number of Argalas are more than the obstructing Planets, then also the Argala will prevail. If there are 3, or more malefics in the 3rd they will cause Vipreeta Argala (more effective intervention), which will also be harmless and be very favourable. The 5th is also an Argala place, while the Planet in the 9th will counteract such Argala. As Rahu and Ketu have retrograde motions, the Argalas and obstructions be also counted accordingly in a reverse manner. Mahārśis say, that the Argala, caused by one Planet, will yield limited effect, by two medium and by more than two, excellent effects. Argalas should be counted from a Rāśi, or a Planet, as the case may be. The Argala, which is unobstructed will be fruitful, while the one duly obstructed will go astray. The Argala effects will be derived in the Dasha periods of the Rāśi, or Planet concerned. 
Notes. Argala in Sanskrit is figuratively used to denote an impediment, or obstruction. Some suggest, that the Argala obstruction places are countable from the Argala place instead of from the original place, or Planet. This is not logical and a glance into Gochara Vedha (obstructions during transits) will confirm our findings. 
10. Special. The Argala, caused by placement of a Planet in the first one fourth part of the Rāśi, is countered by another, placed in the 4th quarter of the respective obstructive Rāśi. Similarly 2nd quarters Argala is eliminated by the 3rd quarter placement of another Planet. 
Notes. If the Argala causing Planet and the obstructing Planet are in the respective quarters, the obstruction will come to pass. Otherwise not. 
11-17. Argala Effects. Should there be Argala for the Arudh Pad, for the natal Lagna and for the 7th from both, the native will be famous and fortunate. A malefic, or a benefic, causing unobstructed Argala, giving a Aspect to Lagna will make one famous. Similarly a malefic, or a benefic, causing unobstructed Argala, giving a Aspect to 2nd House denotes acquisition of wealth and grains, to 3rd House happiness from co-born, to 4th House residences, quadrupeds and relatives, to 5th House sons, grand sons and intelligence, to 6th House fear from enemies, to 7th House abundant wealth and m6thtal happiness, to 8th House difficulties, to 9th House fortunes, to 10th House royal honour, to 11th House gains and to 12th House expenses. The Argala by benefics will give various kinds of happiness, while benefic effects will be meddling with malefic Argalas. Argala by both benefics and malefics will yield results. 
Notes. 1. Argala can be caused by a benefic, which is known, as Subha Argala. This Argala can be from a malefic also, so that the benefic, causing Argala, stalls the malefic role. If the benefics Argala is obstructed by another, then the benefic will become ineffective in Argala and the first-mentioned malefic will operate freely. 
2. Argala can be by a malefic with reference to a benefic, so that the native does not enjoy good effects, due to the benefic. This is Pap (malefic) Argala. If the Argala is eliminated by a benefic, or a malefic, then the first mentioned benefic will be at liberty to act, according to his own disposition. 
18. Should there be (unobstructed) Argala for Lagna, 5th and 9th House, the native will doubtlessly become a king and fortunate.
Ch. 32. Karakatwas of the Planets 
1-2. I now detail below Atma Karak etc., obtainable from among the 7 Planets, viz. Sun to Saturn. Some say, that Rahu will become a Karak, when there is a state of simil6thty in terms of longitude between (two) Planets. Yet some say, that the 8 Planets, including Rahu, will have to be considered irrespective of such a state. 
3-8. Atma Karak Defined. Among the Planets from Sun etc. whichever has traversed maximum number of degrees in a particular Rāśi is called Atma Karak. If the degrees are identical, then the one with more minutes of arc and, if the minutes are also identical, then the one with higher seconds of arc, have to be considered. In that case these three are called Anthya Karak, Madhya Karak and Upakheta. In the case of Rahu deduct his longitude in that particular Rāśi from 30. The Karakas will have to be decided, as above and, as per further rules given below. Out of these Karakas, Atma Karak is the most important and has a prime say on the native, just as the king is the most famous among the men of his country and is the head of all affairs and is entitled to arrest and release men. 
9-12. Importance of Atma Karak. O Brahmin, as the minister cannot go against the king, the other Karakas, viz. 5th Karak, Amatya Karak etc. cannot predominate over Atma Karak in the affairs of the native. If the Atma Karak is adverse, other Karakas cannot give their benefic effects. Similarly, if Atma Karak is favourable, other Karakas cannot predominate with their malefic influences. 
13-17. Other Karakas. The Planet next to Atma Karak in terms of longitude is called Amatya Karak. Similarly following one another in terms of longitude are Bhratru Karak, Matru Karak, Pitru Karak, 5th Karak, Gnati Karak and Stri Karak. These are Char Karakas, or inconstant significators. Some consider Matru Karak and 5th Karak, as identical. If two Planets have the same longitude, both become the same Karak, in which case there will be a deficit of one Karak. In that circumstance consider constant significator in the context of benefic/malefic influence for the concerned relative. 
18-21. Constant Karakatwas. I narrate below the constant Karakatwas, as related to the Planets. The stronger among Sun and Venus indicates the father, while the stronger among Moon and Mars indicates the mother. Mars denotes sister, brother-in-law, younger brother and mother. Mercury rules maternal relative, while Jupiter indicates paternal grand father. Husband and sons are, respectively, denoted by Venus and Saturn. From Ketu note wife, father, mother, parents-in law and maternal grand father. These are constant Karakatwas. 
22-24. Houses Related. These constant significances are derivable from the Houses, counted from the said constant Karakatwas. The 9th from Sun denotes father, the 4th from Moon mother, the 3rd from Mars brothers, the 6th from Mercury maternal uncle, the 5th from Jupiter sons, the 7th from Venus wife and the 8th from Saturn death. The learned should consider all these and declare related effects accordingly. 
25-30. Yoga Karakas. O Brahmin, I make below a passing reference to Yoga Karakas (mutual co-workers). Planets become Yoga Karakas, if they are in mutual angles identical with own Rāśis, exaltation Rāśis, or friendly Rāśis. In 10th House a Planet will be significantly so. Planets simply (not being in friendly, own, or exaltation Rāśis) in Lagna, 4th and 7th House do not become such Yoga Karakas. Even, if they be placed in other Houses, but with such dignities, as mentioned, shall become Yoga Karakas. With such Planets even a person of mean birth will become a king and be affluent. One born of royal scion, then will surely become a king. Thus the effects be declared, considering the number of such Planets and the order the native belongs to. 
31-34. House Significance. I now narrate the significance of the Houses. 1st House denotes the soul (self), 2nd family, finance, wife etc., 3rd younger brothers/sisters, 5th progeny and 7th wife. It is also said, that a Planet in 5th becomes a Karak for wife. The Karakatwas of the House in order are Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. 
35-37. O excellent of the Brahmins, after knowing the merits of 1st House etc. the good and bad effects can be declared. 6th, 8th and 12th are Trikas, Dusthana, or malefic Houses. 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th are Upachayas. 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th are Panapharas and 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th are Apoklimas. Association with Trikas will inflict evils. Kendras and Konas (5th and 9th) are auspicious Houses, the association with which turns even evil into auspiciousness. 
(Also see Ch. 34 for more information) 
Ch. 33. Effects of Karakāńśa 

1. O Brahmin, as laid down by Lord Brahma, I now tell you about the effects of Karakāńśa identical with Aries etc. (Karakāńśa is the Navāmśa, occupied by the Atma Karak Planet)

2-8. Karakāńśa in Various Rāśis. If Atma Karak happens to be in Aries Navāmśa, there will be nuisance from rats and cats at all times. A malefic joining will further increase the nuisance. Should Atma Karak be in Taurus Navāmśa, happiness from quadrupeds will result. Should Atma Karak be in Gemini Navāmśa, the native will be afflicted by itch etc. Should Atma Karak be in Cancer Navāmśa, there will be fear from water etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Leo Navāmśa, fear will be from tiger etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Virgo Navāmśa, itch, corpulence, fire etc. will cause trouble, while, if Atma Karak is in Libra Navāmśa, he will make one a trader and skilful in making robes etc. Scorpio Navāmśa, holding Atma Karak, will bring troubles from snakes etc. and also affliction to mothers breasts. There will be falls from height and conveyances etc., if it is Sagittarius Navāmśa, that is occupied by Atma Karak. Capricorn Navāmśa in this respect denotes gains from water dwelling beings and conch, pearl, coral etc. If it is Aquarius Navāmśa, holding Atma Karak, the native will construct tanks etc. And in Pisces Navāmśa the Atma Karak will grant final emancipation. The Aspect of a benefic will remove evils, while that of a malefic will cause no good. 
9-11. O Brahmin, if there be only benefics in Karakāńś and the Navāmśa of Lagna receives a Aspect from a benefic, the native will undoubtedly become a king. Should the Kendras/Konas from the Karakāńś be occupied by benefics, devoid of malefic association, the native will be endowed with wealth and learning. The combination of benefic and malefic influence will in this context yield mixed results. If the Upakheta (UpaPlanet, vide Ch.32 Sloka 5) is in its exaltation, or own, or friendly Rāśi and is devoid of a Aspect from a malefic, the native will go to heaven after death. 
12. If the Atma Karak is in the divisions of Moon, Mars, or Venus, the native will go to others wives. Otherwise the contrary will prevail. 
13-18. Effects of Planets in the Karakāńś. O Brahmin, if Sun is in the Karakāńś, the native will be engaged in royal assignments. If the full Moon is there, he will enjoy pleasures and be a scholar, more so, if Venus gives a Aspect to the Karakāńś. If strong Mars is in Karakāńś, he will use the weapon spear, will live through fire and be an alchemist. Should strong Mercury be Karakāńś, he will be skilful in arts and trading, be intelligent and educated. Jupiter in Karakāńś denotes one, doing good acts, endowed with spiritualism and Vedic learning. One will be endowed with a longevity of 100 years, be sensuous and will look after state affairs, if Venus is in Karakāńś. Saturn in Karakāńś will give such livelihood, as due to the natives family. Rahu in Karakāńś denotes a thief, a bowman, a machinery maker and a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions. If Ketu be in Karakāńś, one will deal in elephants and be a thief. 
19-22. Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś. Should Rahu and Sun be in Karakāńś, there will be fear from snakes. If a benefic gives a Aspect to Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś, there will be no fear, but a malefic Aspect will bring death (through serpents). If Rahu and Sun occupy benefic Shad Vargas, being in Karakāńś, one will be a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions, while the Aspect from Marson Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś denotes, that the native will burn either his own house, or that of others. Mercury’s Aspect on Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś will not cause the burning of ones own house, but that of others. If Rahu and Sun happen to be in Karakāńś and are in a malefics Rāśi, receiving a Aspect from Jupiter, one will burn a house in ones neighborhood, while the Aspect of Venus will not cause such an event.

23-24. Gulika in Karakāńś. Should the full Moon give a Aspect to Gulika, placed in the Karakāńś, the native will lose his wealth to thieves, or will himself be a thief. If Gulika is in Karakāńś, but does not receive a Aspect from others, one will administer poison to others, or will himself die of poisoning. Mercury’s Aspect in this context will give large testicles.

25-29. Effects of Aspects on Ketu in Karakāńś. If Ketu is in Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from a malefic, ones ears will be severed, or one will suffer from diseases of the ears. Venus, giving a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, denotes one, initiated into religious order. One will be devoid of strength, if Mercury and Saturn give a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś. If Mercury and Venus give a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, one will be the son of a female slave, or of a female remarried. With Saturn’s Aspect on Ketu in Karakāńś one will perform penance, or be a servant, or will be a pseudo-ascetic. Venus and Sun together, giving a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, will make one serve the king. Thus, o Brahmin, are told briefly the effects of Karakāńś.

30-31. Effects of the 2nd from Karakāńś. If the 2nd from Karakāńś falls in the divisions of Venus, or Mars, one will be addicted to others wives and, if Venus, or Mars give a Aspect to the 2nd from Karakāńś, the tendency will last till death. If Ketu is the 2nd from Karakāńś in a division of Venus, or Mars, addiction to others wives will not prevail, while the position of Jupiter will cause such an evil. Rahu in the 2nd from Karakāńś will destroy wealth. 
32. Effects of the 3rd from Karakāńś. A malefic in the 3rd from Karakāńś will make one valorous, while a benefic in the 3rd from Karakāńś will make one timid. 
33-35. Effects of the 4th from Karakāńś. If the 4th from Karakāńś happens to be occupied by Venus and Moon, one will own large buildings, like palaces etc. Similar is the effect of an exalted Planet in the said 4th. A house, made of stones, is denoted by the occupation of the 4th from Karakāńś by Rahu and Saturn. Mars and Ketu in the 4th from Karakāńś indicate a house, made of bricks, while Jupiter in the 4th from Karakāńś denotes a house, made of wood. Sun in the 4th from Karakāńś will give a house of grass. If Moon is in the 4th from Karakāńś, one will have union with his wife in an uncompounded house. 
36-40. Effects of the 5th from Karakāńś. If Rahu and Mars are in the 5th from Karakāńś, one will suffer from a pulmonary consumption, more so, if Moon gives them a Aspect. The Aspect of Mars on the 5th from Karakāńś will bring boils, or ulcers, Ketu's Aspect on the 5th from Karakāńś will cause dysentery and other diseases, caused by (impure) water. If Rahu and Gulika happen to be in the 5th from Karakāńś, there will be fear from mean people and poison. Should Mercury be in the 5th from Karakāńś, the native will be an ascetic of the highest order, or one, holding staff. Sun in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a knife. Mars in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a spear. Saturn denotes a bowman, if Saturn is placed in the 5th from Karakāńś. Rahu in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes a machinist. Ketu in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes a watch maker. Venus in the 5th from Karakāńś will make one a poet and an eloquent speaker. 
41-45. Effects of Karakāńś and the 5th from there. If Jupiter and Moon are in Karakāńś, or the 5th thereof, the native will be an author. Venus will make one an ordinary writer, while Mercury will indicate, that the writing skills are less than those of an ordinary writer. Should Jupiter be alone, one will be a knower of everything, be a writer and be versed in Vedas and Vedanta philosophy, but not an oratorian, or a gramm6than. Mars denotes a logician, Mercury a Mimamsaka (follower of 10th Mimansa), Saturn indicates, that one is dull-witted in the assembly, Sun denotes, that one is a musician, Moon denotes a follower of Sankhya philosophy (of Mahārśi Kapila, who enumerated 25 true principles with emphasis on final bliss) and indicates, that one is versed in rhetoric and singing and Ketu, or Rahu denotes, that one is a astrologer. Should Jupiter be related to the positions of Karakāńś, or the 5th from there, while the Karakāńś is caused by others than him, the effects, as stated, will effectively come to pass. Some say, that the 2nd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered. 
46. Effects of the 6th from Karakāńś. If the 6th from Karakāńś is occupied by a malefic, the native will be an agriculturist, while he will be indolent, if a benefic is in the 6th from Karakāńś. The 3rd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered. 
47-48. Effects of the 7th from Karakāńś. If Moon and Jupiter are in the 7th from Karakāńś, the native will beget a very beautiful wife. Venus in the 7th form Karakāńś denotes a sensuous wife, while Mercury in the 7th from Karakāńś indicates a wife, versed in arts. Sun in the 7th from Karakāńś will give a wife, who will be confining domestic core, while Saturn in the 7th from Karakāńś denotes a wife of a higher age bracket, or a pious and/or sick wife. Rahu in the 7th from Karakāńś will bring a widow in marriage. 
49. Effects of the 8th from Karakāńś. If a benefic, or the Planet, owning the 8th from Karakāńś, happens to be in the 8th from Karakāńś, the native will be long-lived, while a malefic, placed in the 8th from Karakāńś, will reduce the life span. Aspect/Conjunct of both benefics and malefics will yield a medium span of life. 
50-56. Effects of the 9th from Karakāńś. If the 9th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is occupied by a benefic, the native will be truthful, devoted to elders and attached to his own religion. If a malefic gives a Aspect to, or occupies the 9th from Karakāńś, one will be attached to his religion in boyhood, but will take to falsehood in old age. If Saturn and Rahu, one will betray his elders and be adverse to ancient learning. If Jupiter and Sun, one will betray his elders and will be disobedient to them. Should Mars and Venus give a Aspect to, or occupy the 9th from Karakāńś and are joining in six identical Vargas, a female, ill-related to the native, will die. Mercury and Moon giving a Aspect to, or occupying the 9th from Karakāńś and joining in six identical Vargas will cause imprisonment of the native, due to association with a female not of his own. If Jupiter is alone, related to the 9th from Karakāńś by Aspect, or by Conjunct, the native will be addicted to females and be devoted to sensual enjoyments. 

57-60. Effects of the 10th from Karakāńś. If the 10th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is conjoined by a benefic, the native will have firm riches, be sagacious, strong and intelligent. A malefic, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or occupying this House, will cause harm to his profession and deprive him of paternal bliss. Mercury and Venus, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this House, will confer many gains in business and will make him do many great deeds. Sun and Moon, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this place and receiving a Aspect from, or be in Conjunct with Jupiter, the native will acquire a kingdom. 
61-62. Effects of the 11th from Karakāńś. If the 11th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is conjunct with a benefic, the native will enjoy happiness from co-born apart from gaining in every undertaking of his. If a malefic is in the 11th from Karakāńś, the native will gain by questionable means, be famous and valorous. 

63-74. Effects of the 12th from Karakāńś. If the 12th from Karakāńś has a benefic, the expenses will be on good account, while a malefic in the 12th from Karakāńś will cause bad expenses. If the 12th from Karakāńś is vacant, then also good effects will follow. If there happens to be a benefic Planet in exaltation, or in own House in the 12th from Karakāńś, or, if Ketu is so placed and receives a Aspect from, or is conjunct with a benefic, one will attain heaven after death. One will attain full enlightenment, if Ketu is in the 12th identical with Aries, or Sagittarius and receives a Aspect from a benefic. If Ketu is in the 12th from Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from a malefic, or is there conjunct with a malefic, one will not attain full enlightenment. If Sun and Ketu are in the 12th from Karakāńś, the native will worship Lord Shiva. Moon and Ketu denotes a worshiper of Gauri. Venus and Ketu of Lakshmi and a wealthy person. Mars and Ketu of Lord Subramanya. Rahu will make one worship Durga, or some mean deity. Ketu alone denotes Subramanya's, or Ganesh's worshipper. If Saturn is in the 12th from Karakāńś in a malefics Rāśi, one will worship mean deities. Venus and Saturn in the 12th from Karakāńś in a malefics Rāśi will also make one worship mean deities. Similar inferences can be drawn from the 6th Navāmśa, counted from Amatya Karaks Navāmśa. 

75-76. Miscellaneous Matters (up to Sloka 84). O Brahmin, if there are two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will have knowledge of Mantras and Tantras (formulas for the attainment of super-human powers). If a malefic simultaneously gives a Aspect to two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will use his learning of Mantras and Tantras for malevolent purposes, while a benefics Aspect will make him use the learning for public good. 

77-84. If Moon is in the Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from Venus, the native will be an alchemist and, if receiving a Aspect from Mercury the native will be a doctor capable of curing all diseases. If Moon is in the 4th from Karakāńś and receives a Aspect from Venus, the native will be afflicted by white leprosy. If receiving a Aspect from Mars, the native will have blood and bilious disorders and, if receiving a Aspect from Ketu, the native will suffer from black leprosy. Should Rahu and Mars be in the 4th, or 5th from Karakāńś, the native will suffer from pulmonary consumption and, if simultaneously there happens to be Moon’s Aspect on the 4th, or the 5th, this affliction will be certain. Marsalone in the 4th, or the 5th will cause ulcers. If Ketu is in the 4th, or the 5th, one will suffer from dysentery and afflictions, due to (impure) water. Rahu and Gulika will make one a doctor, curing poisonous afflictions, or will cause troubles through poison. Should Saturn be alone in the 4th, or 5th, the native will be skillful in archery. Ketu lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one a maker of watches etc. Mercury lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one an ascetic of the highest order, or an ascetic, holding staff. Rahu, Sun and Mars, respectively, in these places denote a machinist, a knife user and a spear, or arrow user.

85-86. Moon and Jupiter in the Karakāńś, or in the 5th there from denotes a writer well versed in all branches of learning. The grade of writership will comparatively descend in the case of Venus and even further in the case of Mercury. 
87-92. Planets in the 5th from Karakāńś. Should Venus be in the 5th from Karakāńś, the native will be eloquent and a poet. Jupiter denotes, that he be an exponent and be all knowing, but be unable to speak in an assembly. He will be further a gramm6than and a scholar in Vedas and Upanishads. Saturn will make one ineffective in an assembly, while Mercury will make him skilful in 10th Mimansa. Mars in Karakāńś, or the 5th there from will make one justice, while Moon in Karakāńś, or the 5th from there denotes a Sankhya Yogi, a rhetoric, or a singer. Sun in the 5th from Karakāńś will make one learned in Vedanta and music. Ketu will make one a mathematician and skilful in Jyotishya. Should Jupiter be related to the said Ketu, these learning will be by inheritance. All these as well apply to 2nd and 3rd from Karakāńś and to the Karakāńś itself apart from applying to the 5th from Karakāńś. 

93-93. Should Ketu be in the 2nd, or 3rd from Karakāńś, the native will be defective in speech, more so, if a malefic gives a Aspect to Ketu, as above. 

94-99. If malefics be in Karakāńś, Arudh Lagna and the 2nd and 8th from these places, there will be Kemadruma Yoga, the effects of which will be still severer, if Moon’s Aspect happens to be there. The effects, due for these Yogas, will come to pass in the Dasha periods of the Rāśis, or Planets concerned. Kemadruma Yoga will operate additionally, if there are malefics in the 2nd and 8th from the Rāśi, whose Dasha will be in currency. The results of such Yoga will also be inauspicious. If the 2nd and 8th in the Kundali, cast for the beginning of a Dasha, have malefics, then also Kemadruma prevails throughout the Dasha.

Ch. 34. Yoga Karakas 
1. O Brahmin, thus I have told you about the effects, derivable through Karakāńś. Now listen to the effects, 6thsing out of lordships of Planets over Houses. 

2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Planets. Benefics, owning Kendras, will not give benefic effects, while malefics, owning Kendras, will not remain inauspicious. The Lord of a Kona will give auspicious results. The Lord of Lagna is specially auspicious, as Lagna is a Kendra, as well as a Kon. 5th and 9th House are specially for wealth, while 7th and 10th House are specially for happiness. Any Planet, owning 3rd, 6th, or 11th House, will give evil effects. The effects, due to the Lords of 12th and 8th House, will depend on their association. In each group the significance will be in the ascending order. 8ths Lord is not auspicious, as he owns the 12th from 9th House. If the Lord of 8th House simultaneously owns 3rd, 7th, or 11th House, he will prove specifically harmful, while his simultaneous ownership of a Kona will bestow auspicious effects. The Planet, owning a predominant House, will stall the effects, due to another, owning a less significant House and will give his own results. 8ths lordship of Sun and Moon is not evil. 

8-10. Natural Benefics and Malefics. Jupiter and Venus are benefics, while Moon is mediocre in benefice and Mercury is neutral (a benefic, when associated with a benefic and a malefic, when related to a malefic). Malefics are Sun, Saturn and Mars. Full Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are stronger in the ascending order. Weak Moon, Sun, Saturn and Mars are stronger (in malefic disposition) in the ascending order. In revealing maleficence, due to rulership of Kendras, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are significant in the ascending order. 

11-12. Lordships of Kendras and Konas. If there be an exchange between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, or, if a Lord of a Kendr is conjunct with a Lord of a Kon in a Kendr, or in a Kon, or, if a Lord of a Kon is in a Kendr, or vice versa, or, if there happens to be a full Aspect between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, they cause a Yoga. One born in such a Yoga will become a king and be famous. 

13. If one and the same Planet gets the lordships of a Kon, as well as a Kendr, or, if a Planet is in a Kendr, or in a Kon, it will prove specially a Yoga Karak. 

14. Lordship of Kendr. It has been said, that a malefic, owning a Kendr, will become auspicious, which is true, only when it simultaneously Lords over a Kon and not by merely owning a Kendr. 

15. If the Lords of a Kendr, or a Kon own simultaneously an evil House, he does not cause a Raja Yoga by mere relations stipulated (as per Ch. 34, Slokas 11 and 12). 

16. Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu give predominantly the effects, as due to their conjunct with a House Lord, or, as due to the House they occupy. 

17. If Rahu and/or Ketu are in Kendr, receiving a Aspect from, or in association with the Lord of a Kon, or of a Kendr, it will become Yoga Karak. 

18. O Mahārśi Parashara, please narrate, according to the Rāśis rising, as to which Planet is a Yoga Karak and which is inauspicious. 

19-22. Planets and Aries Lagna. O Brahmin, listen to these with examples. Even though Mars is the Lord of 8th House, he will be helpful to auspicious Planets. Saturn, Mercury and Venus are malefics. Auspicious are Jupiter and Sun. The mere Conjunct of Saturn with Jupiter will not produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kon and a Kendr). If Jupiter is at the disposal of a malefic, he will surely give inauspicious results. Venus is a direct (independent) killer. Saturn etc. will also inflict death, if associated with an adverse Planet (Venus).

Ch. 37. Moon’s Yogas

1. If Moon with reference to Sun is in a Kendr, ones wealth, intelligence and skill will be little, if in a Panaphara, will be meddling, if in a Apoklima, will be excellent. 
2-4. In the case of a day birth, if Moon, placed in its own Navāmśa, or in a friendly Navāmśa, receives a Aspect from Jupiter, one will be endowed with wealth and happiness. One born at night time will enjoy similar effects, if Moon is in its own Navāmśa, or in a friendly Navāmśa, receiving a Aspect from Venus. In a contrary situation, the Aspect from Jupiter, or from Venus on Moon will make one go with little wealth, or even without that.

Ch. 39. Raja Yoga  

1-2. O excellent of the Brahmins, I now narrate below the Raja Yogas, making one entitled to royal honour. These were told to Parvati by Lord Shiva once upon a time, the gist of which is, as follows. 
3-5. Raja Yogas are to be known from the Karakāńś Lagna and the natal Lagna. On the one hand the pair of Atma Karak and 5th Karak should be considered and on the other hand the natal Lagnas Lord and 5ths Lord should be taken into consideration. The effects, due to such association, will be full, or a half, or a quarter, according to their strengths. 6-7. Maha Raja Yoga. Should Lagnas Lord and 5ths Lord exchange their Rāśis, or, if Atma Karak and 5th Karak (Char) are in Lagna, or in 5th House, or in the exaltation Rāśi, or in own Rāśi, or in own Navāmśa, receiving a Aspect from a benefic, Maha Raja Yoga is produced. The native so born will be famous and happy. 
8. If Lagnas Lord and Atma Karak are in 1st, 5th, or 7th House, conjunct with, or receiving a Aspect from a benefic, a Raja Yoga is formed. 
9-10. Should there be benefics in the 2nd, the 4th and the 5th, counted either from Lagnas Lord, or from Atma Karak Rāśi, one will become a king. Similarly malefics in the 3rd and 6th from Lagnas Lord, or from Atma Karak Rāśi will make one a king. 
11. One will be related to royal circles, if Venus is the Karakāńś, or in the 5th there from, or in Lagna, or in Arudh Lagna, receiving a Aspect from, or conjunct with Jupiter, or Moon. 
12. Even, if a single Planet gives a Aspect to the natal Lagna, or Hora Lagna, or Ghatik Lagna, the native will become a king. 
13-14. If the Shad Vargas of Lagna are occupied, or receive a Aspect from one and the same Planet, a Raja Yoga is doubtlessly formed. Accordingly, if the Aspect is full, half, or one fourth, results will be in order full, medium and negligible. 
15. If the 3 Lagnas (natal, Hora and Ghatik) are occupied by Planets in exaltation, or in own Rāśi, or, if the natal Lagna, the Dreshkan Lagna and the Navāmśa Lagna have exalted Planets, Raja Yoga is formed. 
16. If Moon and a benefic are in the Arudh Lang, as Jupiter is in the 2nd from the natal Lagna and both these places are receiving Aspects from Planets in exaltation, or Planets in own Rāśi, there will be a Raja Yoga. 
17. If Lagna, 2nd and 4th House are occupied by benefics, while a malefic is in 3rd House, one will become a king, or equal to a king. 
18. The native will be wealthy, if one among Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury is exalted in 2nd House. 
19. If 6th, 8th and 3rd House are occupied by debilitated Planets, as Lagnas Lord is exalted, or is in own House and gives a Aspect to Lagna, there is a Raja Yoga. 
20. Again a Raja Yoga is formed, if 6ths, 8ths and 12ths Lords are in fall, or in inimical Rāśis, or in combustion, as Lagnas Lord, placed in his own Rāśi, or in its exaltation Rāśi, gives a Aspect to Lagna. 
21. If 10ths Lord, placed in his own House, or in its exaltation Rāśi, gives a Aspect to Lagna, a Raja Yoga is formed. Similar is the case, if benefics are in Kendras. 
22. If the Atma Karak Planet is in a benefics Rāśi/Navāmśa, the native will be wealthy. If there are benefics in Kendras from Karakāńś Lagna, he will become a king. 
23. If the Arudh Lagna and Dar Pad are in mutual Kendras, or in mutual 3rd/11th Houses, or in mutual Konas, the native will doubtlessly become a king. 
24. If two, or all of House, Hora, Ghatik Lagnas are receiving a Aspect from exalted Planets, a Raja Yoga is formed. 
25. If House, Hora and Ghatik Lagnas, their Dreshkanas and Navāmśaas, or the said Lagnas and their Navāmśaas, or the said Lagnas and their Dreshkanas receive a Aspect from a Planet, a Raja Yoga is formed. 
26-27. If Arudh Pad is occupied by an exalted Planet, particularly Moon in exaltation, or by Jupiter and/or Venus (with, or without exaltation), while there is no Argala by a malefic, the native will become a king. If the Arudh Pad is a benefic Rāśi, containing Moon, while Jupiter is in 2nd House, the same effect will prevail. 
28. Even, if one among 6ths, 8ths and 12ths Lords, being in debilitation, gives a Aspect to Lagna, there will be a Raja Yoga. 
29-31. The native will become a king, if a Planet, ruling 4th, 10th, 2nd, or 11th, gives a Aspect to Lagna, while Venus gives a Aspect to the 11th from Arudh Lagna, as Arudh Lagna is occupied by a benefic. The same effect will be obtained, if a debilitated Planet gives a Aspect to Lagna and is placed in 6th, or 8th House. Again similar result will prevail, if a debilitated Planet, placed in 3rd, or 11th House, gives a Aspect to Lagna. 
32. I now tell you of the Raja Yogas, based on the Planets with different dignities and on the Aspects and Conjuncts of the Planets. 
33-34. 9ths Lord is akin to a minister and more especially 5ths Lord. If these two Planets mutually give a Aspect, the native will obtain a kingdom. Even, if these two are conjunct in any House, or, if they happen to be placed in mutually 7th places, one born of royal scion will become a king. 
35. The native will attain a kingdom, if 4ths Lord is in 10th House and 10ths Lord is in 4th House and, if these Planets give a Aspect to 5ths and 9ths Lords. 
36. If the Lords of 5th, 10th, 4th and Lagna are conjunct in 9th House, one will become a ruler with fame, spreading over the four directions. 
37. Should the Lord of 4th, or of 10th House join either the 5ths Lord, or 9ths Lord, the native will obtain a kingdom. 
38. If 5ths Lord is in Lagna, 4th, or 10th House, conjunct with 9ths Lord, or Lagna Lord, the native will become a king. 
39. Should Jupiter be in his own Rāśi identical with 9th House and conjunct with either Venus, or 5ths Lord, the native will obtain royal status.
