Verse 1 — Brilliant Jupiter in Ascendant cancels all evils
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] guruḥ lagna-sthitaḥ nirmalaḥ yadi | tadā sarva-ariṣṭāni nivārayati | viṣṇor yathā su-darśana-cakra-bhṛto namaḥ-sahasra-likhita-mahā-pāpa-kṣayaḥ ||
guruḥ lagna-sthitaḥ nirmalaḥ yadi | tadā sarva-ariṣṭāni nivārayati | viṣṇor yathā su-darśana-cakra-bhṛto namaḥ-sahasra-likhita-mahā-pāpa-kṣayaḥ ||
A very brilliant Jupiter (i.e. not being devoid of rays) is capable of counteracting all evils, if he is in the Ascendant, just as a single sincere Prostration before Lord Vishnu, the wearer of Sudarshana Chakra, relieves one of the greatest sins.
Verse 2 — Benefics strong, malefics weak, benefic-Lagna aspected by benefics — evils cancelled (worship-of-planets analogy)
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] śubhaḥ balinaḥ pāpaḥ niśubhaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | śubha-rāśau lagna-patir yadi śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | graha-pūjakaḥ yathā pāpa-rahitaḥ ||
śubhaḥ balinaḥ pāpaḥ niśubhaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | śubha-rāśau lagna-patir yadi śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | graha-pūjakaḥ yathā pāpa-rahitaḥ ||
Benefics with strength and malefics without it remove all evils, if Ascendant falls in a benefic's House and is aspected by benefics, just as those, who worship planets will have no sins left to their liability.
Verse 3 — Malefics in benefic signs / amsas aspected by benefics — evils cancelled (dejected-wife-away-from-husband); Rahu in 3/6/11 from Lagna aspected by benefics destroys all evils (wind-cotton); all planets direct in Sirshodaya → all blemishes removed (ghee in fire)
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] pāpaḥ śubha-rāśy-aṃśa-sthitaḥ śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | dīna-strī-patir yathā parityajati | rāhuḥ lagnāt tr̥tīya-ṣaṣṭhaikādaśa-sthitaḥ śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | sarva-ariṣṭāni naśyanti | vāyunā tūla-piṇḍa-yogena yathā | sarve grahāḥ cala-mārga-gatāḥ śīrṣodaya-rāśi-sthitāḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | agni-ghṛta-yogena yathā ||
pāpaḥ śubha-rāśy-aṃśa-sthitaḥ śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ | tadā ariṣṭa-nivāraṇaṃ | dīna-strī-patir yathā parityajati | rāhuḥ lagnāt tr̥tīya-ṣaṣṭhaikādaśa-sthitaḥ śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | sarva-ariṣṭāni naśyanti | vāyunā tūla-piṇḍa-yogena yathā | sarve grahāḥ cala-mārga-gāḥ śīrṣodaya-rāśi-sthitāḥ yadi | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | agni-ghṛta-yogena yathā ||
If malefics occupy the Rāśis and Amsas of benefics (i.e. such benefic divisions) and be in aspect to benefics, evils are removed, just as a dejected lady remains away from her husband. Should Rahu be in the 3rd, 6th, or 11th from the Ascendant and be aspected by benefics all evils are destroyed, as though wind carries away a heap of cotton with it. If all planets be in direct motion and in Seershodaya Signs, all blemishes are removed, just as ghee is burnt out in fire.
Verse 4 — Benefic victorious in planetary war + aspected by benefic destroys all evils (gale-uproots-trees); benefic with halo + aspected by malefic — eclipse-bath-at-Kurukshetra analogy
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] śubhaḥ yuddha-jayī athavā śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | vāyu-druma-yogena yathā | pariveśa-yuktaḥ śubhaḥ pāpa-dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | kuru-kṣetra-sūrya-grāsa-sahasra-yogena yathā ||
śubhaḥ yuddha-jayī athavā śubhair dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | vāyu-druma-yogena yathā | pariveśa-yuktaḥ śubhaḥ pāpa-dṛṣṭaḥ yadi | tadā ariṣṭāni nivārayati | kuru-kṣetra-sūrya-grāsa-sahasra-yogena yathā ||
A benefic planet victorious in planetary war at birth and essentially aspected by another benefic, destroys all evils, just as a gale can uproot trees. If a planet has a halo (in the sky) and is aspected by a malefic, evils are countered, just as the solar eclipse day bath in Kurukshetra does.
Verse 5 — Pleasant breeze + pleasant clouds + splendid heavenly bodies at birth — evils vanish instantly (rain-settles-dust); birth when Agastya/Saptharshis rise — all evils destroyed (Sun-removes-darkness)
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] janma-kāle su-vāyuḥ su-meghāḥ dīpta-bhauma-saṃyuktaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni kṣipram naśyanti | varṣayā dhūli-yogena yathā | agastya-saptarṣi-udayajñe jāte | tadā sarva-ariṣṭāni naśyanti | sūryeṇa yathā tamasaḥ ||
janma-kāle su-vāyuḥ su-meghāḥ dīpta-bhauma-saṃyuktaḥ | tadā ariṣṭāni kṣipram naśyanti | varṣayā dhūli-yogena yathā | agastya-saptarṣi-udayajñe jāte | tadā sarva-ariṣṭāni naśyanti | sūryeṇa yathā tamasaḥ ||
If there is a pleasant breeze at the time of birth and the sky is with pleasing clouds and the heavenly bodies be with splendour, the evils disappear in a fillip, just as rains settle dust. If birth takes place, when Agasthya and others of Saptharshis (Alfa Carini, or Great Bear) rise, all evils are destroyed, just as darkness disappears, when the Sun rises.
Verse 6 — Rahu in Lagna identical with Aries/Taurus/Cancer protects from all evils (pleased-king-forgives); all planets in own decanates — all evils removed (Sun-removes-darkness)
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] rāhuḥ lagna-sthitaḥ meṣa-vṛṣa-karka-sthitaḥ | tadā ariṣṭa-sambhāra-rahitaḥ | rājñā yathā kṣamā | sarve grahāḥ svadrekkaṇa-sthitāḥ athavā rāhu-ketoḥ vinaiva | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | sūryeṇa yathā tamasaḥ ||
rāhuḥ lagna-sthitaḥ meṣa-vṛṣa-karka-sthitaḥ | tadā ariṣṭa-sambhāra-rahitaḥ | rājñā yathā kṣamā | sarve grahāḥ svadrekkaṇa-sthitāḥ athavā rāhu-ketoḥ vinaiva | tadā ariṣṭāni naśyanti | sūryeṇa yathā tamasaḥ ||
Rahu in the Ascendant identical with Aries, Taurus, or Cancer protects the native from the clutches of all evils, just as a pleased king forgives the crimes of a person. If all the planets (not of course the nodes) are in their own decanates, all evils are removed, just as the Sun removes darkness.
Verse 7 — Many benefic-yielding planets at birth → no blemish (king's success when Moon in trine to Sun); Jupiter and Venus in kendra cancel bhavas + lunar evils — hundred years
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] bahavaḥ śubha-phala-dātāraḥ grahāḥ yadi tadā ariṣṭa-rahitaḥ | rājño yathā siddhiḥ sūrya-candra-trikona-sthitaḥ | guruḥ śukraḥ kendra-sthitaḥ yadi | tadā rāśi-jāta-ariṣṭa-candra-ariṣṭāni nivārayati | varṣa-śataṃ jīvati ||
bahavaḥ śubha-phala-dātāraḥ grahāḥ yadi tadā ariṣṭa-rahitaḥ | rājño yathā siddhiḥ sūrya-candra-trikona-sthitaḥ | guruḥ śukraḥ kendra-sthitaḥ yadi | tadā rāśi-jāta-ariṣṭa-candra-ariṣṭāni nivārayati | varṣa-śataṃ jīvati ||
If at birth many planets are capable of giving benefic results, even then there is no blemish, just as the king gets success in journey undertaken, when the Moon is in a Trine to the Sun. Should Jupiter and Venus be in Angles, evils arising out of the various Rāśis (i.e. Bhavas) and of the Moon are countered. And the native lives for hundred years.
Verse 8 — Illimitable longevity — Jupiter+Moon in Cancer in 4/10/Lagna, Mercury+Saturn in Libra, others in 11/3/6
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] guru-candra-karka-sthitau caturtha-daśama-lagne athavā 4-sthitau | budha-śanau tulā-sthitau anye ekādaśa-tṛtīya-ṣaṣṭha-sthitau yadi | tadā ananta-āyuḥ |
guru-candra-karka-sthitau caturtha-daśama-lagne athavā 4-sthitau | budha-śanau tulā-sthitau anye ekādaśa-tṛtīya-ṣaṣṭha-sthitau yadi | tadā ananta-āyuḥ ||
If Jupiter and the Moon be in Cancer, identical with 4th, 10th, or the Ascendant, Mercury and Saturn be in Libra, while others are in the 11th, 3rd and 6th, one has illimitable longevity.
Verse 9 — Closing — useful knowledge of arishta-cancellation given for astrologers to please the king
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] ariṣṭa-nivāraṇa-yogān ahaṃ mayā uktavān purātanaiḥ | astrologers tu rājñaḥ prītaye vidyayā tuṣyantu |
ariṣṭa-nivāraṇa-yogān ahaṃ mayā uktavān purātanaiḥ | astrologers tu rājñaḥ prītaye vidyayā tuṣyantu ||
I have thus explained the Yogas, that are capable of countering the evils, as laid down by our great ancestors May the astrologers please the king with the knowledge of these.
