Planetary combinations in a horoscope for a king.
(From Saravali upto sloka 518)
516 – 518. (a) If the indicative planet is in t: the native will obtain kingdom (or Raja yoga effects 10th house in the said planet’s dasa.
(b) The dasa of a planet that is in combustion will cause abundant grief, and will destroy one’s honour, fame, wealth, valour and undertakings.
(c) One will be foolish (or lose his intelligence) in the dasa of a planet that is an adversary to the lord of the ascendant or to the lord of the Moon sign. He will further lose his kingdom (or position), be troubled by enemies and will depend on others.
519. According to Samudra Jataka, planets in Seershodaya signs will give kingdom, lordship and happiness in the initial part of life, if in Prishtodaya Rasis in the middle part of life, and in Ubhayodaya sign in the end of life.
Notes: “Kendra neecharka Rasipaah” is a wrong copy and interrupts a proper concept. Lords of Kendra (angle), Neecha (debility), Arka Rasipaah (Sun sign lord) make no sense. The above rendering excludes such text.
While the conditions of time periods mentioned are specific to Raja Yogas, it should also be interpreted that planets (good or bad) will give their results in the initial part of life (or dasa period) and so on and so forth.
Thus end Raja Yogas.
520. Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas: The king named Deva Kirti spoke of Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas, or five combinations for great men, which are now being retold with a peaceful disposition.
521. Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury in order cause Malavya, Ruchaka, Sasa, Hamsa and Bhadra Maha Purusha Yogas if placed in own sign or exaltation sign identical with an angle. These are now being extensively explained as conceived by sages.
Notes: Since my English translations of Hora Sara and Sambhu Hora Prakasa contain elaborate treatment to the subject of Pancha Maha Purusuha Yogas, I do not propose to explain these here.
Bala Bhadra comments – The planets Venus etc. causing these Yogas should be endowed with Shadbala like Sthaana Bala, and should be in their own signs or exaltation signs, identical with angles.
