If there Vedha in one of the pairs of similar vowels., the other vowel of the pair should also be considered as bit the same remark should be made in the case of the Anuswara and Visarga (vowels}.
When a planet in transits is in the last or the first quarter of two asterisms (forming the juncture) in any of the four corners of the square, there is the Vedha of the four vowels, and in regular order commencing with that vowel intervening at the Particular juncture occupied by the planet. The effects arising from these Five are: agitation or excitement from the first, fear from the second, loss from the third, disease from the fourth and death from the fifth.
When the Vedha is with an asterism, there is confusion; when with a letter, loss; with a vowel, sickness; and a very great obstacle, when, with a Tithi or Rasi.
When there are five Vedhas simultaneously, the individual will not live. A single Vedha will engender fear in battle; two Vedhas, loss of money; three, some abstac1e; and four, death.
Just as malefics produce evil, benefics cause good. Benefics associated with malefics produce only evil effects.
In the Sun’s Vedha there misunderstanding in that of Mars, loss of wealth; in that of Saturn, trouble through sickness; in those of; Rahu and Ketu, obstacles. In the Moon’s there will be mixed effects; in that of Venus, sexual enjoyment; in that of Mercury, in elligence; in that of Jupiter, an all round good effect. When the planet causing the Vedha is retrograde, the effect is two-fold; it is thrice when he is in exaltation; when his motion is rapid (direct), the usual (natural) effect; and when in depression, the effect is only half. Any Tithi, Rasi or Amsa or Nakshatra hit by a malefic should be scrupulously avoided in all auspicious under takings. A marriage celebrated during a Vedha will not prove prosperous; any journey undertaken will not prove prosperous; any treatment given to a patient will not end in cure; and any business started will not be successful. If a Vedha caused by a malefic should occur during the time of sickness, it will culminate in death if the motion be retrograde. if the motion be direct, the sickness will soon subside. If there be Vedha caused by a malefic in one’s own week day (of birth), the person will not have peace of mind and he will suffer from mental pain.
During the transit of the Sun in the three Rasis Vrishabha, Mithuna and Kataka in the East (see Chakra), the direction is considered as ‘set’ while the remaining three as existing (or visible).
The vowels and in the North-East should be considered as belonging to the East; the vowels, apd in the South-East, to the South; and to the West; it to the North.
In the particular direction in which the Sun is staying for three months, all the asterisms, vowels, consonants, Rasis and Tithis in that direction should be deemed as ‘set’.
When an asterism is set and there is Vedha, sickness will be the result. When a consonant is, set, there is loss. When a vowel is set, there is sorrow. When a Rasi is set, there is obstacle; when a Tithi is set and there is Vedha, fear will arise. When all the five are in the ‘set’ direction and there is Vedh, death will surely result.
Towards the direction deemed as ‘set’, journey, ‘fight, discussion, fixing of a new door or gate for a palace an upper storeys should not be undertaken. Any other similar auspicious action should not be done. Whoever has his initial letter situated in the set direction should consider himself as destined unfortunate, for the time.
People whose initial letters are in the ‘set’ direction should, if they desire success, shim a poetical contest, a fort, a battle (consisting of elephants, horses, chariots, infantry, etc.), in that particular quarter.
In the case of an asterism situated in any of the other ‘risen’ directions, if there sn0uld be a Vedha, there will be growth. If the Vedha be with a consonant, gain will be the result; if with a vowel, there will be happiness; if with a Rasi, there will be success; if with a Tithi, there is lustre; if with all the five, a position is secured.
When there are Vedhas caused by malefics on both the right and left sides with consonants, Tithis, vowels Rasis and Asterisms at any time, the person concerned will surely meet with his death.
When at the time of a malefic Vedha there is a fateful Upagraha (see next three Slokas of this note) synchronizing, death is sure to happen to him either through sickness or at battle.
The fifth star reckoned from the one occupied by the Sun is termed Vidyunmukha. The 8th is called Sula and the 14th, Sannipata, the 18th is known as Ketu, the 21st is Ulka, the 22nd is designated Kampa, the 23rd is known as Vajraka, and the 24th is termed Nirghata. These eight are known as the Upagrahas and are recognized as causing obstacles to, all undertakings when at the time planets transit their respective places.
Ascertain if there is Vedha with any of the following asterisms: (1) Janmabha (2) Karma), (3) Adhanana), (4) Vinasa); (5) Samudayika, (6) Sanghatika, (7) Jati (8) Desa and (9) Abhisheka and predict good or bad effects according as the Vedha produced is by a benefic or a malefic as the case may be.
The star in which the Moan is at the time of birth of a person is known as Janamabha or Janamarksha. The 10th there from is called Karmabha or Karmarksha. The 19th is designated as Adhana, the 23rd is termed Vinasana or Vainasika the 18th star is styled Samudayika, the 16th asterism is known as Sanghatika, the 26th, 27th and 28th are known as Jati, Desa and Abhisheka respectively.
If the Janmarksha, the Karmarksha, the Adhanarksha and the Vinasarksha be each occulted by malefic planets, death, sorrow, absence from one’s place and quarrel with one’s own relations will respectively result.
