Verse 1 — Definition of Neechabhanga Raja Yoga
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīca-grha-gato graho yadi svādhīśena kendra-sthitaḥ | tadā nīcāṅgataḥ saukhyaṁ dhanarājyaṁ prayacchati ||]
nīca-grha-gato graho yadi svādhīśena kendra-sthitaḥ | tadā nīcāṅgataḥ saukhyaṁ dhana-rājyaṁ prayacchati ||
When a planet is in its debilitation sign and its lord is placed in a kendra (angular house) from the Lagna, the debilitation of the planet is cancelled and the native attains happiness, wealth and royal status.
Verse 2 — Cancellation by Lord of Debilitation Sign in Kendra
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīcasthasya grahasyeśo yadi kendre 'ṅga-saṁsthitau | ubhayoḥ phala-saṁyogaṁ dhanarājyaṁ ca vindati ||]
nīcasthasya grahasyeśo yadi kendre 'ṅga-saṁsthitau | ubhayoḥ phala-saṁyogaṁ dhana-rājyaṁ ca vindati ||
If the lord of the sign in which a planet is debilitated occupies a kendra from the Moon or the Lagna, the cancellation produces Raja Yoga; the native rises in fortune, holds authority and gathers wealth.
Verse 3 — Cancellation by Debilitated Planet's Own Aspect or Conjunction
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīca-sthaḥ sva-adhīśena dṛṣṭaḥ saṁyuta eva vā | nīca-bhaṅgaṁ pravadanti paṇḍitāḥ satya-saṁhitaiḥ ||]
nīca-sthaḥ sva-adhīśena dṛṣṭaḥ saṁyuta eva vā | nīca-bhaṅgaṁ pravadanti paṇḍitāḥ satya-saṁhitaiḥ ||
When the debilitated planet is aspected by or conjoined with its own dispositor (the lord of the sign in which it is debilitated), the learned declare that the debilitation is cancelled and the planet becomes a source of strength.
Verse 4 — Cancellation by Exaltation of Debilitated Planet's Lord
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīca-sthasya grahasyeśa uccāvasthāṁ gato yadā | tadā grahaḥ svarājyaṁ dhanarājyaṁ prayacchati ||]
nīca-sthasya grahasyeśa uccāvasthāṁ gato yadā | tadā grahaḥ sva-rājyaṁ dhana-rājyaṁ prayacchati ||
When the lord of the sign in which a planet is debilitated is itself exalted, the debilitation is powerfully cancelled; the formerly weak planet then confers authority, kingship and wealth upon the native.
Verse 5 — Cancellation by Exaltation Sign of the Debilitated Planet
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīcaṁ sthānaṁ parityajya grahaḥ svena uccasthale yadi | nīca-bhaṅgaḥ prajāyeta dhanarājyaṁ ca vindati ||]
nīcaṁ sthānaṁ parityajya grahaḥ svena uccasthale yadi | nīca-bhaṅgaḥ prajāyeta dhana-rājyaṁ ca vindati ||
If the debilitated planet occupies the 4th house (or the exaltation sign counted from its debilitation sign), the debilitation is cancelled and the native rises to wealth and rulership.
Verse 6 — Cancellation by Another Planet in the Debilitation Sign
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīca-rāśau paraḥ kaścit grahaḥ saṁyojakaḥ kvacit | tadā nīcāṅga-saṁyuktaḥ phalaṁ dadyād dhaneśa-vat ||]
nīca-rāśau paraḥ kaścit grahaḥ saṁyojakaḥ kvacit | tadā nīcāṅga-saṁyuktaḥ phalaṁ dadyād dhaneśa-vat ||
If another planet occupies the sign in which a planet is debilitated, the debilitated planet obtains Neechabhanga and behaves like the lord of the 2nd house — conferring wealth.
Verse 7 — Cancellation When Lagna Lord is Strong
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: lagneśaḥ śubha-saṁyuktaḥ kendra-sthaḥ prabhavo yadi | nīca-sthaḥ grahaḥ sarvathā phalaṁ dadyād dhana-pradam ||]
lagneśaḥ śubha-saṁyuktaḥ kendra-sthaḥ prabhavo yadi | nīca-sthaḥ grahaḥ sarvathā phalaṁ dadyād dhana-pradam ||
When the lord of the Lagna is itself strong — placed in a kendra and associated with benefics — even debilitated planets in the chart yield auspicious wealth-giving results through Neechabhanga.
Verse 8 — Results of Neechabhanga — Authority and Fame
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: nīca-bhaṅga-samāyuktaḥ kaścit grahaḥ prajāyate yadi | tasya janma-phalaṁ vidyād rājyaṁ yaśaḥ sukhaṁ dhanaṁ ||]
nīca-bhaṅga-samāyuktaḥ kaścit grahaḥ prajāyate yadi | tasya janma-phalaṁ vidyād rājyaṁ yaśaḥ sukhaṁ dhanaṁ ||
When even a single planet in the horoscope has its debilitation cancelled through any of the classical means, the native is endowed with royal authority, fame, happiness and wealth in proportion to that planet's strength.
