Harsha Yoga, Sarala Yoga, Vimala yoga
Definition.-The lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th occupying the 6th, 8th and 12th will give rise to Harsha, Sarala and Vimala Yogas respectively.
Results.-Harsfta makes one fortunate, happy, invincible, physically’strong, wealthy, famous and afraid of sinful deeds. One born in Sarala becomes
long-lived, fearless, learned, a terror to enemies, celebrated and prosperous. Vimala renders the person frugal, happy, independent and possessed of ennobling qualities.
Remarks.-1hese three yogas furnish us with a clue as to how lords of Dusthanas by occupying Dusthanas can overcome the evil due to such malefic ownership. Even though the author of the above
yogas has ascribed very pleasant results to these three combinations, yet in actual practice, quite the contrary have been the results. Parasara and Lomasa do not seem to favour the conception that the sting arising from an evil lordship can disappear entirely as a result of the lord occupying another Dusthana. On the other hand, the intensity will be somewhat modified. This is evident from the fact that according to Parasara, when the 6th lord is in the 6th, the native’s relatives become enemies while he would befriend outsiders and when the 6th lord is in the 8th or 12th, “the person becomes sickly, hates learned men, goes after others’ women and takes pleasure in causing violence”. Therefore in interpreting the three yogas
given above, one should have an eye on the intrinsic evil nature of the ownership.
