Sanskrit verses with English translation from Maharishi Parasara. Read the full classical treatise on AstroFusion Learning.
लग्ने वा चन्द्रलग्ने वा यदा केन्द्रगतो ग्रहः। स्वोच्चस्वगृहसंस्थो वा महापुरुषसंज्ञकः॥
lagne vā candralagne vā yadā kendragato grahaḥ | svoccasvagṛhasaṃstho vā mahāpuruṣasaṃjñakaḥ ||
When a planet is placed in a kendra (1st, 4th, 7th or 10th) from the lagna or the Chandra lagna, and is in its exaltation or own sign, it is designated a Mahapurusha yoga.
भौमे मेषवृश्चिके च मकरे वा केन्द्रगे। रुचको योग उतपन्नः शुभ्रे भद्रः प्रकीर्तितः॥
bhaume meṣavṛścike ca makare vā kendrage | ruchako yoga utpannaḥ śubhre bhadraḥ prakīrtitaḥ ||
Mars in Aries or Scorpio, or exalted in Capricorn, when placed in a kendra, gives rise to Ruchaka yoga; Mercury similarly dignified in a kendra is celebrated as Bhadra yoga.
जीवे हंसः शुक्रे मालव्यः शनौ शश इति स्मृतः। केन्द्रस्थस्वोच्चसंस्थैश्च महापुरुषफलं शुभम्॥
jīve haṃsaḥ śukre mālavyaḥ śanau śaśa iti smṛtaḥ | kendrasthasvocchasaṃsthaiśca mahāpuruṣaphalaṃ śubham ||
Jupiter gives Hamsa, Venus gives Malavya, and Saturn gives Shasha yoga; these planets in kendra in their own or exaltation signs yield the auspicious fruits of a Mahapurusha.
