Chapter 29: Bhava Padas

Method of Bhava Calculation. O Brahmin, I shall now tell you about the Padas (Arudhas) for Bhavas and Grahas as well, as laid down by the earlier Maharishis. The Pad of Lagn will correspond to the Rāśi, arrived at by counting so many Rāśis from Lagn's Lord, as he is away from Tanu Bhava. Similarly Padas for other Bhavas be known through their Lords. The word “Pad” exclusively denotes the Pad for Lagn. Names of the 12 Arudhas are Lagn Pad - Arudh of Tanu Bhava, Dhan of Dhan, Vikram (Bhratru) of Sahaj, Matru (Sukh) of Bandhu, Mantra (Putr) of Putr, Rog (Satru) of Ari, Dar (Kalatr) of Yuvati, Maran of Randhr, Pitru of Dharm Bhava, Karm of Karm, Labh of Labh, Vyaya of Vyaya.

Special Exceptions. The same Bhava, or the 7 from it does not become its Pad. When the Pad falls in the same Bhava, the 10 therefrom be treated, as its Pad. Similarly, when the 7 becomes the Pad of a Bhava, the 4 from the original Bhava in question be treated, as its Pad. If the ruler of a Bhava be in the 4 from the Bhava, then the very Bhava occupied be noted, as the Pad.

Padas for Grahas. Note the position of a Grah and see how many Rāśis away is its own Rāśi with reference to its position. Count so many Rāśis from the said own Rāśi and the resultant Rāśi will become the Arudh of the Grah. If a Grah owns two Rāśis, or, if a Rāśi is owned by two Grahas; consider the stronger and declare effects accordingly.

Pad and Finance (up to Sloka 15). O Brahmin, I now tell you of some effects of Grahas, based on Pad. If the 11 from Lagn Pad is occupied, or receives a Drishti from a Grah the native will be happy and rich; wealth will come through various means, if a benefic is related, as above. A malefic will confer wealth through questionable means. If there be both a benefic and a malefic, it will be through both means. If the Grah in question be in exaltation, or in own Rāśi etc., there will be plenty of gains and plenty of happiness.

O excellent of the Brahmins, if the 12 from Lagn Pad does not receive a Drishti, as the 11 from Lagn Pad receives a Drishti from a Grah, then the gains will be uninterrupted.

O Brahmin, the quantum of gains will correspond to the number of Grahas in, or giving a Drishti to the 11 from Lagn Pad. If there is Argala for the said 11 , there will be more gains, while a benefic Argala will bring still more gains. If the said benefic, causing Argala is in his exaltation Rāśi, the gains will be still higher. If the said 11 receives a Drishti from a benefic from Lagn, the 9 etc., gains will increase in the ascending order. In all these cases, the 12 from Pad should simultaneously be free from malefic association. A benefic, placed in Lagn, giving a Drishti to the 11 from Arudh Lagn will be still beneficial. If the Drishti is from the 9 from Lagn, it will confer much more gains.

Pad and Financial Losses (up to Sloka 21). If the 12 from Lagn Pad receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with both benefics and malefics, there will be abundant earnings, but plenty of expenses. The benefic will cause through fair means, malefic through unfair means and mixed Grahas through both fair and unfair means.

If the 12 from Lagn Pad is conjunct Sūrya, Śukr and Rahu, there will be loss of wealth through the king. Candr, giving a Drishti to (the said trio in the said Bhava), will specifically cause more such losses.

If Budh is in the 12 from Lagn Pad and is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, similarly there will be expenses through paternal relatives. A malefic so related to the said Budh will cause loss of wealth through disputes.

O Brahmin, if Guru is in the 12 from Lagn Pad, receiving a Drishti from others, the expenses will be through taxes and on the person himself.

O Brahmin, if Śani is in the 12 from Lagn Pad along with Mangal and receives a Drishti from others, the expenses will be through one's co-born.

Gainful Sources. Whatever sources of expenses are indicated above with reference to the 12 from Lagn Pad, gains through similar sources will occur, if Labh Bhava so features with reference to Lagn Pad.

The 7 Bhava from Pad (up to Sloka 27). If Rahu, or Ketu is placed in the 7 from Lagn Pad, the native will be troubled by disorders of the stomach, or by fire.

Should there be Ketu in the 7 from Lagn Pad, receiving a Drishti from, or being yuti with another malefic, the native will be adventurous, will have (prematurely) grey hair and a big male organ.

Should one, two, or all three of Guru, Śukr and Candr be in the 7 from Lagn Pad, the native will be very wealthy.

Whether a benefic, or a malefic, if be exalted in the 7 from Lagn Pad, the native will be affluent and be famous.

O Brahmin, these Yogas, as narrated by me with reference to the 7 from Lagn Pad, should also be considered from the 2 of Lagn Pad.

Anyone of Budh, Guru and Śukr being exalted in the 2 from Lagn Pad and being with strength will make the subject rich.

The Yogas so far stated by me with reference to Lagn Pad be similarly evaluated from Karakāńś as well.

General. If Budh is in the 2 from Arudh Lagn, the native will Lord over the whole country. Śukr in the 2 from Lagn Pad will make one a poet, or a speaker. If the Dar Pad falls in an angle, or in a trine, counted from Lagn Pad, or, if Lagn Pad and Dar Pad both have strong Grahas, the native will be rich and be famous in his country. If the Dar Pad falls in the 6 / 8 /12 from Lagn Pad, then the native will be poor. If Lagn Pad and the 7 therefrom, or an angle, a trine, an Upachaya therefrom is occupied by a strong Grah, there will be happiness between the husband and wife. If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are mutually in Kendras, or Konas, there will be amity between the couple. If these be in mutually 6 /8 /12 , doubtlessly mutual enmity will crop up. O Brahmin, similarly mutual relationship, or gain, or loss through son etc. be known, based on Lagn Pad and the relative Bhava Pad. If Lagn Pad and Dar Pad are mutually angular, or 3 and 11 , or in Konas, the native will be a king, ruling the earth. Similar deductions be made with reference to mutual positions of Lagn Pad and Dhan Pad.
