		QUOTATION BPHS Sarga 6, Shloka-7 -8 " One third of a Rashi is called Drekkana. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Drekkana and are, respectively, lorded by Narada, Agasthya Durvasha." [end quote]
		36 Portions Historically, many cultures have used this type of base-12, 36-part divisional reckoning to apportion the sky and calculate the passage of time. Classical Greek astrology made wide popular use of decanate descriptions, with each decanate interpreted for personality, and each made sacred to a particular deity. During the era of Greek settlement following the conquest of northern India by Alexander, Greek decanate lore made a significant contribution to Jyotisha literature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decans In the Western tradition, the custom of 36 divisions is attributed to Egyptian sources.
		QUOTATION from BPHS 12-14 [Tanu Bhava] Decanates and Bodily Components " Head, eyes, ears, nose, temple, chin and face is the order of limbs, denoted (by the various Bhavas), when the first decanate of a Rashi ascends. In the case of the second decanate ascending the order is neck, shoulder, arm, side, heart, stomach and navel. The order for the third decanate ascending is pelvis, anus, penis, testicles, thigh, knee, calf and foot. The portion already risen indicates left side of the body (while the one yet to rise, the invisible half, denotes the right side of the body)." [end quote] [BPL note: drekkana-2 is ruled by Surya [heart]; drekkana-3 is ruled by Guru [reproductive]
		Elements Privthi * Earth Vata * Air Agni * Fire Apah * Water Prana - Ether Jyotishashastra records the use of a 36-portion typological chart dreshkamsha varga which divides each 30 degree rashi into 3 parts = the three rashi of the same natural element. This system was introduced by the Greek astrologers (presumably inherited from Egypt) so it uses the typical western four elements instead of the classical vedic five. fire = agni earth = privthi air = vata water = apah (but no ether = prana) the dreshkamsha varga graphically represents the placement of each graha and lagna within one of the three decanates of its rashi EXAMPLE St. Therese of Avila EXAMPLE of Decanate Divisions as graphicly represented in the D-3 varga ----------------- In the nativity of Santa Teresa de Avila, indriya lagna = 9-deg Karkata drekkana order within the 30-degree rashi of Karkata Karkata = first 10 deg Vrischika = second 10 deg Meena = 3rd 10-deg Indriya-lagna 9-Karkata occupies the first 1/3 portion [drekkana] of Karkata rashi = D-3 lagna = Karkata Within the first decanate of Karkata, 9-deg is near the end of the decanate boundary. Therefore the D-3 lagna is near the end of Karkata = 28 deg ----------------- D-1 Surya = 29 Meena the three drekkana of the rashi of Meena Meena Karkata Vṛścika D-1 Surya occupies the 3rd drekkana of Meena Therefore D-3 Surya occupies Vṛścika, and Surya's D-3 degree occupies the end of the third decanate _________________ D-1 Mangala occupies 21-Urisha decanates of Urisha = Urisha Kanya Makara D-1 Kuja occupies the third decanata of Urisha Therefore D-3 Kuja occupies Makara -------------------------------------- D-1 Shani occupies 19-Vṛścika [at the tail end of 2nd-decanata] decanates of Vṛścika = Vṛścika Meena Karkata D-3 Shani occupies the end of Meena -------------------------------------- See dreshkamsha varga for qualitative, interpretive, behavioral meanings associated with the individual decanates. D-3 can confirm D-1 predictions for any third-amsha person or activity, such as sibling-cousin, schoolmate-workmate, ensemble-team, management-administration, cohort, hand-craft, etc.

	Planetary Rulers and Deity Rulers of the 36 Drekkana = 1/10th portions of the 360 degree circle The easiest way to see these amsha portions = use the graphic = dreshkamsha varga lord of 1st drekkana within each rashi = rashi lord lord of 2nd drekkana within each rashi = 5th trine lord of 3rd drekkana within each rashi = 9th trine for predictions, consider (1) temporal ruler of the drekkana (2) natural ruler of the 1/36 portion	Narada Muni - Rishi Narada Agasthya Muni - Rishi Agasthya Durvasha Muni - Rishi Durvasya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durvasa
