SU. 48.-Brahmani sanaupatayorva tataha. If Sani, Rahu or Ketu becomes Brahma, the 6th planet from him will be designated as Brahma in which case the other three will not have the Brahma power.
NOTES The 6th planet must mean planet taken 6th in the regular order, Ravi; Chandra, Kuja, Budha,, Guru, Sukra. Suppose, Ketu becomes Brahma, the 6th from him would be Guru. Similarly for other planets. Thatha – 6 Tha 6, Tha 6 – 66, divided by 12 we get the remainder 6 and hence the 6th house from the planet is meant. .
SU. 49. -Bahurnam yoge swajateeyaha. If many get the powers of Brahma (say three or four planets at a time), then that planet becomes Brahma who is next in degree to Atmakaraka.
NOTES The next in degrees to Atmakaraka will become Amatyakaraka. Therefore in such cases Amatyakaraka becomes Brahma.
SU. 50.~ Rahuyoge vipareetam. When Rahu also gets Brahmatwa, then the conditions will be reversed.
NOTES This means that planet becomes Brahma who gets the lowest number of degrees among the Brahmas. This is perfectly intelligible. Suppose Guru gets 29 degrees in Mesha, then as per Jaimini rule he becomes Atmakaraka. These planets move forwards. But suppose in that horoscope, Rahu has only 20 minutes to pass in Mesha instead of Guru Rahu becomes the Atmakaraka. He has the backward movement, and therefore has the largest number of degrees to his credit in the inverse order– While Guru has 29 degrees in the forward movement, Rahu has 29 degrees and 40 minutes in his backward motion. Therefore Rahu has a longer number of degrees.
SU. 51.-Brahma swabhaveso bftavastlzaha. The lord of the 8th from Atmakaraka as also the planet who occupies that house becomes Brahma.
NOTES Thus may Brahmas have been enumerated and the reader must carefully study these rules. Bhava 8, Bha 4, Va 4–44, divided by 12, the remainder is 8.
SU. 52.- yivade balee. Between the, two planets the lord of the 8th from Atmakaraka and the planet who joins the 8th, the stronger of the two becomes Brahma.
NOTES When there are many Brahmas, the strongest of the lot will be the Brahma. The results flowing from the Brahma and Maheswara planets will be explained hereafter. Students must be very careful.
SU. 53.- Brahmano yavanJnaheswararkshadasantamayuhu. The longevity extends through the Rasis commencing from Brahma and counting up to the Rasi containing Maheswara .
NOTES Jaimini has explained how to fix the planets,- Rudra, Maheswara and Brahma.
SU. 54.-Tatrapi maheswarabhavesatrikonabde. The period of death must be determined thus, Maheswara will be in a sign. Take the Dasa of this Rasi, take the lord of 8th house from Maheswara. Take the Trikonas from him, viz., 1, 5 and 9. Predict death in the Antardasa of any one of these Dasas which is strong enough to inflict death.
SU. 55.–Swakarmachittaripuroganathapranee marakha. The strongest among the lords of 3, 6,12 and 8 from the Atmakaraka will inflict death.
NOTES First settle about the terms of life, short; middle and long. If all the four lords mentioned above are of equal strength, predict death in such period by the evil Dasa, which intervenes at that time. The lords of 6 and 8 are powerful marakas, of these two, lord of the 6th is more powerful in causing death. Death will happen when the Dasas of 6 or 8 come. Death will occur in the sub–periods of the lords of Trikonas from 8th and 6th houses, of these Trikona periods from the 6th are more powerful. If the lord of the 6th is powerful, then the Dasas of Trikona Rasis from him would inflict death.
SU. 56. – Thadrukshadasayam nidhanam. Death will happen in the Rasi Dasa occupied by the maraka planet or in the Dasa of the Rasi of which he is the lord.
SU. 57. Tatrapi kaladripurogachittnnathapahare. Take Atmakaraka. Find out the 7th from him. Take Ripu, Roga, Chitta or 12, 8 and 6th from it. The lords of these occupy some houses. Death may happen in the Dasas of such signs or the Dasas of the houses owned by these lords.
NOTES After having ascertained such Marakagraha Rasis, he directs his readers to find out the special sub-periods which would cause death. Dasas of houses have to be counted from Chara, Shtira and Dwiswabhava in the particular order named under that section. Some Rasi Dasa becomes maraka. If there are many Rasis which get the maraka power, find out the strongest among them and attribute death to it. Suppose there is a sign without a planet, with a planet who is its lord and a house with benefics. The last will be the most powerful among the houses named above. The first without a planet will be the weakest.
The potentialities of planets and the houses have been very elaborately explained in the earlier Sutras. These principles may also be learnt from the general study of Astrology. Take Mesha without any planet, with Sani, with Ravi, with Chandra with Guru, with Sukra and with Kuja, Rahu or Ketu. Its potentialities vary with the presence or absence of these planets and other aspects and conjunctions it has.
