CHAPTER FOUR 4
Effect of Planets with Different divisions, Dignities, strengths etc.
After this (i.e. following the initial preparations asexplained in the previous chapter), the positions of the Sun and others in the various Rhavas should be noted down to be used in association with the speculum of planetarY terms (i.e. friondsbtP etc). Then should be noted down the Sapts Varga Chakra, i.e. the positions of various planets in the seven divisions including (Rasi and) Hora, decanate, Navamsa, Dvadasamsa and Trimsamsa along with strengths like positional, directional, natural, motional and aspectual, and lshta and Kashta Phalas of the planets.
Notes: The author advises us of the step-by -step method to prepare required details. This amounts to preparation of Rhava positions of planets, Panchadha Sambandha (5-fold terms) diagram, Sapta Varga charts, Shadbala, lshtha Phala and Kashta Phala so that one is well-equipped with requited details for a meaningful analysis of a horoscope.
Most authors restricted themselves to employment of Shad Varga or Sapta Varga. Maharshi Parasara advocated full use of Shodasa Vargas (16 Vargas) which only will lead us to the knowledge of Vimsopaka strength of the planets. Without 16 Vargas, Vimsopaka strengths of planets can be never known. Without Vimsopaka strengths, dasa period results can never be understood in full, according to sage Parasara.
In this chapter, Bala Bhadra systematically supplies relevant effects for Sapta varga positions of planets, individual effects keeping Shadbala disbursement in mind and many other things.
These details are bound to be useful as We see them for the first time with such minute classifications.
This entire chapter is as per Yavanas.
Now told are the effects of signs, divisions etc. relating to the Sun and others.
Authority – Vriddha Yavana.
