UTTARAKALAMRITAM

Slokas 43½ – 45: The time in Ghatikas taken by the Sun to traverse a complete star from its beginning to the end is declared to be the divisor. Find the interval in ghatikas taken by the Sun from the time of his entry into that star till the desired moment and multiply the same by 60 and use the divisor above referred to. The remainder multiplied by 27 and divided – by 60 will give the number of stars reckoned from Aswini that have been passed by the Sun till that time. These with the remainder in Ghatikas and Vighatikas will give the position of the Sun at the time. Find out the interval taken by the Moon in the star she is occupying to travel the Ishta ghatee or required time. Multiply this by 27 and divide the product by 60. The quotient will reveal the number of stars reckoned from Aswini passed by the Moon. The remainder in Ghatikas and Vighatikas will indicate her position at the time. 

Sloka 46: Find the Moon at the time (as per previous sloka). If the same be aspected by planets from the Sun onwards, the treasure concealed will contain (1) golden jewels (2) silver (3) copper (4) brass (5) gold (6) bell metal (7) iron (8) tin and (9) lead. If aspected by many powerful planets, the treasure will contain many sorts of metals. If aspected by none, there will be no treasure at all concealed.

Sloka 47: If the Moon at the time be aspected by all the planets, the person will get valuable treasure filled in a very big vessel. If the above-said Moon be in Simha, the treasure will be in a golden vessel. if in the house belonging to the Stthula Moon (vide sloka VII – 13 supra), it will be in a silver vessel; if in the house of Mars, it will be in a copper vessel; if in that of Mercury, it will be in a vessel made out of a precious stone; if in Jupiter’s house, it is in a stone-vessel; if in the house of Venus, it will be in an earthen pot; if in Saturn’s, it is in an iron vessel.

Sloka 48: If the Sun and the Moon are together in a star ruled by the Moon at the time (vide sloka 45 supra), it means there is treasure. If the two planets are in a star ruled by the Sun, the treasure will contain bones. If the Sun and the Moon interchange their places, nothing will be found. If the Moon be conjoined with malefics, the person cannot get the treasure; if conjoined with benefics, he will get it. The depth of the interned treasure is to be guessed, in units of a hand’s length, by the number of degrees passed by the Moon in the star.

Slokas 49-50: Draw four vertical lines crossed by four horizontal lines. There will thus be 9 squares. Reckoning from the star occupied by the Sun at the time, allot 3 stars for the centre, the 8 other groups of 3 stars each being reserved for the 8 directions beginning from the East. The position of the Moon on the day of the marriage will be revealed in anyone of these squares. The several effects of these beginning from the central square are (1) loss of the couple (2) prosperity (3) destruction of the entire family (4) widowhood (5) continuance of the family (6) large debt and disease (7) the girl concerned going astray (8) wealth and corn and (9) all kinds of prosperity. Thus the tree of Chakras has been described by Lord Siva to Sri Nandin.
