Sanskrit verses with English translation from Maharishi Parasara. Read the full classical treatise on AstroFusion Learning.
त्रिंशांशे पुरुषस्याहुः स्वभावं दुःखसङ्गतिम् । पापस्थाने विनाशं च शुभस्थाने च पुष्टिताम् ॥
triṁśāṁśe puruṣasyāhuḥ svabhāvaṁ duḥkhasaṅgatim | pāpasthāne vināśaṁ ca śubhasthāne ca puṣṭitām ||
In the trimsamsha (D30) is declared the native's character and association with sorrow—destruction in a malefic position, and flourishing in an auspicious one.
विद्याया वेदबाह्वंशे भांशे चैव बलाऽबलम् । त्रिंशांशके रिष्टफलं खवेदांशे शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ५॥
vidyāyā veda-bāhvaṁśe bhāṁśe caiva balābalam | triṁśāṁśe riṣṭaphalaṁ khavedāṁśe śubhāśubham || 5 ||
Learning is judged from the Veda-bahvamsha (D27), strength and weakness from the bhamsha (D9); misfortune results are read from the trimsamsha (D30), and auspicious or inauspicious outcomes from the Khavedamsha (D40).
अक्षवेदांशके चैव षष्ट्यंशेऽखिलमीक्षयेत् । यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः क्रूरषष्ट्यंशकाधिपः ॥ ६॥
akṣavedāṁśake caiva ṣaṣṭyāṁśe 'khilamīkṣayet | yatra kutrāpi samprāptaḥ krūraṣaṣṭyāṁśakādhipaḥ || 6 ||
All results should also be examined in the Akshavedamsha (D45) and the Shashtiamsha (D60)—wherever the cruel lord of the shashtiamsha may be positioned.
तत्र नाशो न सन्दे हो गर्गादीनां वचो यथा । यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः कलांशाधिपतिः शुभः ॥ ७॥
tatra nāśo na sandeho gargādīnāṁ vaco yathā | yatra kutrāpi samprāptaḥ kalāṁśādhipatiḥ śubhaḥ || 7 ||
Where the cruel shashtiamsha lord arrives, there is destruction beyond doubt—such is the verdict of Garga and other sages; likewise wherever the benefic lord of the kalamsha may be present.
तत्र वृद्धिश्च पुष्टिश्च गर्गादिनां वचो यथा ।
tatra vṛddhiś ca puṣṭiś ca gargādināṁ vaco yathā |
There, according to the words of Garga and other sages, one obtains growth and flourishing.
उदयादिषु भावेषु खेटस्य भवनेषु वा । वर्गविंशोपकं वीक्ष्य ज्ञेयं तेषां शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ९॥
udayādiṣu bhāveṣu kheṭasya bhavaneṣu vā | vargaviṁśopakaṁ vīkṣya jñeyaṁ teṣāṁ śubhāśubham || 9 ||
In the houses beginning with the ascendant, or in the signs occupied by planets, their auspicious or inauspicious nature is to be known by examining the vargavimshopaka strength.
