Malika Yogas
Definition.-If all the seven planets occupy the seven houses contiguously, reckoned from Lagna or any particular Bhava, the appropriate Malika Yoga is caused. Remarks.-Twelve types of Malika Yogas, one for each Bhava, are caused. Thus the Yoga beginning from the first is Lagna Malika, the one beginning from the fifth, Putra Malika and so on. The seven planets (excluding of course Rahu and Kethu) should occupy the seven houses contiguously from a Bhava in question. While the generality of Astrologers hold the view suggested above as regards the twelve kinds of Malika Yogas, Bhavartha Rathnakara makes a departure and suggests that the Malika Yoga should always commence from Lagna and be disposed within five to nine houses from Lagna. According to this view, evidently no contiguity is implied.
