Sanskrit verses with English translation from Maharishi Parasara. Read the full classical treatise on AstroFusion Learning.
गुलिकं मन्दिसूतौ च कालविद्या विचक्षणैः । दण्डगुण्या गणयित्वा राशौ स्थाप्यं विपश्चिता ॥
gulikaṁ mandisūtau ca kālavidyā vicakṣaṇaiḥ | daṇḍaguṇyā gaṇayitvā rāśau sthāpyaṁ vipaścitā ||
The learned, versed in the science of time, compute Gulika and Mandi (the progeny of Saturn) by multiplying the ghati, and place them in the appropriate sign.
दिने भान्वादिभारेभ्यः क्रमात् सप्तमभागकाः । गुलिकस्य प्रकीर्त्यन्ते रात्रौ पञ्चमभागकाः ॥ २॥
dine bhānvādibhārebhyaḥ kramāt saptamabhāgakāḥ | gulikasya prakīrtyante rātrau pañcamabhāgakāḥ ||
During the day, starting from the lord of the weekday, the portion belonging to Saturn is the seventh part for Gulika; during the night, it is the fifth part reckoned in reverse.
लग्ने गुलिकसंयोगे देहपीडा भवेन्नृणाम् । धर्मकर्मविहीनाश्च मूढाश्च परनिन्दकाः ॥ ३॥
lagne gulikasaṃyoge dehapīḍā bhavennṛṇām | dharmakarmavihīnāśca mūḍhāśca paranindakāḥ ||
When Gulika conjoins the Lagna, physical distress and ailments afflict the native; they become deficient in virtuous deeds, dull-witted, and given to disparaging others.
