B.V. Raman's definition, results, and Remarks regarding the named Planetary Yoga

103. Duryoga

dur {dus} = bad, difficult, wicked great crime or wickedness

 Definition.
  • If the lord of the 10th is situated in the 6th, 8th or 12th,

Duryoga is caused.

Results.

  • The person will not derive the fruits of his own bodily exertion
  • he will be looked down by others
  • highly selfish
  • and always intent upon deceiving others
  • he will live in a foreign place.

Remarks.

The 10th is the pivot of the horoscope and its lord should be strong if one's life is to be tolerably happy. When the 10th lord is in dushthamshas he will lose his vitality and is Therefore, said to confer on the native just those qualities which render him insignificant in the eyes of the public.

Harming others, selfishness and gluttony are not qualities conducive to making one virtuous. One who has Duryoga is supposed not to derive the benefits of his own bodily exertions . Duryoga seems to indicate that one would earn his livelihood by manual labour.

of the three dushthamshas, the 12th seems to be the least malefic so far as this Yoga is concerned, because whilst depriving one of the fruits of his labours, it will at least give him noble qualities and Therefore, acertain amount of respect in society.

Definition.

will give rise to Daridra Yogar.

Results.

The native

  • will contact huge debts,
  • will be very poor,
  • will suffer from auditory troubles,
  • will be mean
  • and will commit sinful and criminal deeds.

Remarks.

The yoga is a simple one and is quite common. Therefore, one should not rush to ascribe all these results to a horoscope in which Daridra Yoga is present.

When the Lagna is strong and the 11th lord is in the 6th, daridra Yoga exists nominally. Because, such a disposition whilst rendering the person mean and inclined to pursue sinful activities, will not make him very poor.

Criminal intentions are not the sole monopoly of the poor. The rich are equally culpable to such a tendency because the richer a person the more avaricious he becomes to gain his selfish ends. Generous instincts and the tendency to worship mammon are indeed poles apart. [end quote from BV Raman]

VOCABULARY DEFINITIONS from

~~ Koeln Sanskrit Lexicon www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de

105. Harsha Yoga [rogesha-6 in 8 or rogesha-6 in 12] [harsa = bristling, erection [esp. Of the hair in a thrill of rapture or delight) joy, pleasure, happiness, delight

106.Sarala Yoga [Sarala Yoga]

randhresha-8 in 6 or randhresha-8 in 12]

sarala = running on, straight [not crooked

107.Vimala Yoga [ruler-of-12 in 6 orruler-of-12 in 8]

vimala = stainless, spotless, clean, bright, pure

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.

Harsha makes one fortunate, happy, invincible, physically strong, wealthy, famous and afraid of sinful deeds.

One born in Sarala becomes long-lived, fearless, learned, aterror to enemies, celebrated and prosperous.

Vimala renders the person frugal, happy, independent and possessed of ennobling qualities.

Remarks.

These three yogas furnish us with a clue as to how lords of dushthamshas by occupying dushthamshas 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.

Parashara 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 dushthamsha.

On the other hand, the intensity will be somewhat modified. This is evident from the fact that according to Parashara,

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 and comforts while there are others who, in spite of meager earnings, will look after their body with the utmost care."

Results.

  • The subject will be endowed with long life
  • wealth
  • and political favours.

Remarks.

If all the three factors above referred viz., the ascendant lord, Jupiter and Venus are in kendras, the Yoga would be rendered highly powerful with the result all the blessings of the Yoga will manifest.

gives rise to this Yogar.

Results.

Remarks.

Leading a happy life is different from having amenities needed for it.

Some people are indifferent to bodily care and comforts, while there are others who, in spite of meager earnings, will look after their body with the utmost care.

Results.

  • The subject will be devoid of bodily comforts.

Remarks.

As the name implies, dehakashta Yoga means difficulty for the body.

Most of the manual workers belong to this category.

The Yoga is said to become defunct if a benefic aspects the ascendant lord." [end quote]

111. Roga-grastha Yoga

roga

ruj = breaking up of strength, disease-discomfort, infirmity, sickness

grasta = swallowed, eaten taken, seized surrounded or absorbed possessed [by a demon) tormented eclipsed inarticulately pronounced, slurred inarticulate pronunciation of the vowels

 Definition.

[a) If the Lord of Lagna occupies the ascendant in conjunction with the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th

or

[b) if the weak Lord of Lagna joins a trine or a quadrant ,

Rogagrastha Yoga is caused.

Results.

  • The native will possess a weak constitution
  • and be sickly.

Remarks.

The Yoga comprehends two combinations, viz., [1) the ascendant lord being placed in The ascendant and joined by the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th and [2) the weak ascendant lord occupying a trine or a quadrant. It is a general astrological precept that when the ascendant lord joins a trine or a quadrant he acquires vitality.

When he is weak, by which term is implied that his shadbala pinda

[sum total of strength) falls short of the requisite quantity, the distinction attached to location in a kendra or thrikona is lost.

It is found in actual practice that the lordship of the 12th is less malefic than that of the 6th or 8th and hence when the lords of the Lagna and 12th join, the affliction expresses itself more in the nature of financial stress than in terms of Dehakashta or Rogagrastha Yogas.

One born under this combination will not have a healthy constitution. It will lack the requisite power of resistance so that the native falls an easy prey to disease. a large number of dry vargas or divisions such as Rasi, Hora, etc."

112 -- 113. Krisanga Yogas

 Definition.
  • The ascendant lord should occupy a dry sign or the sign owned by a 'dry' planet [112).
  • The Navamsha Lagna should be owned by a 'dry' planet and malefics should join the Lagna ]

    113).

Results.

  • The subject will have an emaciated or lean body
  • and will suffer from bodily pains.

Remarks.

Dry signs are Aries, taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo and Sagittarius.

Dry planets are the Sun, mars and Saturn.

Mercury may also be held to be a dry planet for all practical purposes.

The same result can be judged if the Lagna and the lord have acquired a large number of dry vargas or divisions, such as Rashi, Hora, etc. "

114 to 116 Deha-sthoulya Yogas

sthoulya = big, stout , bulky, increase

 Definition.

  • Lord of Lagna and the planet, in whose Navamsa the Lord of Lagna is placed, should occupy watery signs [114).

  • The Lagna must be occupied by Jupiter or he must aspect the Lagna from a watery sign [115).

  • The ascendant must fall in a watery sign in con junction with benefics or the ascendant lord must be A watery planet [116).

BPL comment: Raman's Results section is missing from p 134-135 of the original edition of 300 Important Combinations.

Remarks.

Possessing a strong body is different from having an unwieldy and corpulent appearance.

In the above three combinations, by dehasthoulya is meant stoutness of the body and has no reference to a well-built or strong physical appearance.

Watery signs are Cancer, aquarius, capricorn, pisces, scorpio and Libra, and the watery planets are the Moon and Venus. Of course, mercury and Jupiter are also water resorters and a predominance of the water element in regard to Lagna or lagnadhipathi would invariably make the person corpulent.

117. Sada Sanchara Yoga

 Definition.
  • the lord of either Lagna or the sign occupied by Lagna lord must be in a movable sign.

Results.

  • the native will almost always be a wanderer.

Remarks.

The combination referred to above is very common in the horoscopes of travelling agents, diplomats and globe-trotters.

If both the Lagna and the Navamsha Lagna are in movable signs, the subject would hardly confine himself to any particular locality. On the contrary, he will always be moving about.
