Now about Raja Yogas leading to royal positions. ¬
273. (a) If three or four planets are exalted at birth, one belonging to a royal scion will become a king.
(b) One born in other fainilies (than royal family), will become a king with five or more planets in exaltation.
(c) The same way planets in Moola Trikona signs will give effects. That is, one of royal family will achieve kingdom if three or four planets are in Moola Trikona signs while one of other family will become a king with five ore planets in Moola trikona.
274. Yavanacharya says specially – If the planet causing Raja Yoga is a malefic, the native will be a sinful king; exalted planet or a benefic planet thus will produce a king knowledgeable in just administration. Planets of mixed nature will lead to birth of a king with dual nature.
275. As per Jeeva Sarma, a malefic in exaltation does not’ produce a king, but the native will become wealthy. He states “If a malefic planet at birth is exalted, the native will not become a king, but will be wealthy irascible and fond of promoting quarrels.”
276. If the ascendant is Vargottama, and is aspected by four, five or six planets, other than the Moon, 22 different Raja Yogas are obtained. If the Moon is in Vargottama and is aspected by four or five planets, 22 Yogas are obtained.
The author Bala Bhadra comments: Based on the original expression in the sloka – “Chandra Varjitaih – meaning other than the Moon, the aspect of six planets are employed. The aspects of four different planets out of six planets make for 15 alternative Yogas five planets aspecting differently produce six Yogas, and six planets in union aspecting produce one Yog. Thus 15 + 6 + 1 = 22. This way, the Moonin Vargottama, aspected by four or more planets produces 22 Yogas. Thus 44 different Yogas are produced.
The following Yogas are from Mandavya Jataka (upto sloka 314).
