Sanskrit verses with English translation from Maharishi Parasara. Read the full classical treatise on AstroFusion Learning.
षष्ट्यंशके कर्मबीजं पूर्वजन्मकृतं च यत् । तत्र वीक्ष्य विजानीयात् फलं ज्योतिर्जनावृतम् ॥
ṣaṣṭyaṁśake karmabījaṁ pūrvajanmakṛtaṁ ca yat | tatra vīkṣya vijānīyāt phalaṁ jyotir janāvṛtam ||
In the shashtiamsha (D60) lies the karmic seed created by the deeds of previous births; observing it, the astrologer should understand the result.
अक्षवेदांशके चैव षष्ट्यंशेऽखिलमीक्षयेत् । यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः क्रूरषष्ट्यंशकाधिपः ॥ ६॥
akṣavedāṁśake caiva ṣaṣṭyaṁśe'khilamīkṣayet | yatra kutrāpi samprāptaḥ krūraṣaṣṭyaṁśakādhipaḥ || 6||
One should examine all matters in the Akshavedamsha as well as in the Shashtiamsha (D60); wherever the lord of a cruel shashtiamsha arrives, destruction follows in that area of life.
दशवर्गां दिगंशाढ्याः कलांशाः षष्टिभागकाः । त्रयं क्षेत्रस्य विज्ञेयाः पञ्चषष्ट्यंशकस्य च ॥ २०॥
daśavargāṁ digaṁśāḍhyāḥ kalāṁśāḥ ṣaṣṭibhāgakāḥ | trayaṁ kṣetrasya vijñeyāḥ pañcaṣaṣṭyaṁśakasya ca || 20||
In the ten-fold vargas the amshas are enriched by the directional amshas, while the kalamshas consist of sixty parts; three parts are to be known in the rashi chart and likewise in the shashtiamsha division.
कलांशस्य द्वयं ज्ञेयं त्रयं नन्दांशकस्य च । क्षेत्रे सार्द्धं च त्रितयं वेदाः षष्ट्यंशकस्य हि ॥ २३॥
kalāṁśasya dvayaṁ jñeyaṁ trayaṁ nandāṁśakasya ca | kṣetre sārdhaṁ ca tritayaṁ vedāḥ ṣaṣṭyaṁśakasya hi || 23||
Two points are assigned to the kalamsha and three to the nandamsha; three and a half belong to the rashi, while four points are allotted to the shashtiamsha.
