DIVISIONAL CONSIDERATION

1-8. Use of the 16 Divisions. Now I will explain the use of these sixteen divisions. The physique from Lagn, wealth from Hora, happiness through co-born from Dreshkan, fortunes from Chaturthans, sons and grandsons from Saptans, spouse from Navans, power (and position) from Dashans, parents from Dvadashans, benefits and adversities through conveyances from Shodashans, worship from Vimshans, learning from Chaturvimshans, strength and weakness from Saptavimshans, evil effects from Trimshans, auspicious and inauspicious effects from Khavedans and all indications from both Akshavedans and Shashtians: these are the considerations to be made through the respective Vargas. The Bhava, whose Lord is in a malefic Shashtians, will diminish; so say Garga and others. The
Bhava, whose Lord is in a benefic Shodashans, flourish. This is how the 16 Vargas are to be evaluated. 9-12. After assessing the 20 point strength of the ascending degree, of other Bhavas and of the Grahas, the good and bad effects be declared. I explain below the method of knowing the Vimsopak strength (20 point strength), just by knowing which an idea of the results of actions of this birth and of former birth will clearly emerge. The Grahas from Surya on get full strength, when in exaltation, or in own Rashi and are bereft of strength, when in the 7th (from exaltation). In between the strength be known by the rule of three process. In the case of a Grah, owning two Rashis, distinction of placement in odd/even Rashi identical with own Rashi be made. 13-16. Hora, Dreshkan and Trimshans Effects. Guru, Surya and Mangal give (pronounced) effects in the Hora of Surya. Candr, Sukr and Sani do so, when in Candr’s Horas; Budh is effective in both the Horas. In the case of an even Rashi the Hora of Candr will be powerful in effects, while Surya’s Hora in an odd Rashi will be so. Full, medium and nil will be the effects, respectively, in the beginning middle and the end of a Hora. Similar applications be made for a Dreshkan, Turyans, Navans etc. As for Trimshans
effects, Surya is akin to Mangal and Candr is akin to Sukr. The effects, applicable to Rashi, will apply to Trimshans. 17-19. Vimshopak Bal. The Shad Vargas consist of Rashi, Hora, Dreshkan, Navans, Dvadashans and Trimshans. The full Bal for each of the divisions, respectively, are 6, 2, 4, 5, 2 and 1. This is the Vimshopak Bal, relating to Shad Varg division. Adding the Saptans to the Shad Vargas, we get Sapt Varg, the Vimshopak Bal for which is 5, 2, 3, 2½, 4½, 2 and 1.These are gross strengths, while subtle ones should be understood by exact positions. 20. Add Dashans, Shodashans and Shashtians to the said Sapt Varg Divisions to get the scheme of Dasha Varg. The Vimshopak Bal in this context is 3 for Rashi, 5 for Shashtians and for the other 8 divisions 1½ each. 21-25. When
the 16 divisions (Shodash Varg Scheme) are considered together, the Vimshopak score goes thus: Hora 1, Trimsans 1, Dreshkan 1, Shodashans 2, Navans 3, Rashi 3½, Shashtians 4 and the rest of the nine divisions each a half. The Vimshopak Bal remains as 20, only when the Grah is in own Bhava Vargas. Otherwise, the total strength from 20 declines to 18 in Pramudit Vargas, to 15 in Shant Vargas, to 10 in Svasth divisions, to 7 in Duhkhit Vargas and to 5 in Khal Vargas. (These figures are called Varg Vishwa) 26-27. Vimshopak Proportional Evaluation. Multiply the figure due to full strength for the division by the Varg Vishwa and divide by 20 to get the exact strength of the Grah. If the total is below 5, the Grah will not be capable of giving auspicious results. If it is above 5, but below 10, the Grah will yield some good effects. Later on up to 15 it is indicative of mediocre effect. A Grah with above 15 will yield wholly favourable effects. 28-29. Other Sources of Strength. Maitreya, there are other kinds of sources, as I explain below. Grahas in the 7th from Surya will be fully effective. One with an identical longitude in comparison to Surya’s will destroy the good effects. Rule of three process be applied to the Grah in between these positions. 30-32. Dasha effects with Vimshopak Bal. Maitreya, after assessing the Vimshopak Bal through the various divisions, the rising and setting of the Grahas be considered. The Vimshopak Bal is classified under Purna, AtiPurna, Madhya, AtiMadhya, Heen, AtiHeen, Swalpa and AtiSwalp. Thus should be classified the Vimshopak Bal and the Dasha period results declared accordingly. 33-36. Kendras, Konas etc. defined. O Maitreya, listen to other matters, which I am explaining. The Kendras are specially known, as Lagn (the ascendent), Bandhu Bhava, Yuvati Bhava (the descendant) and Karm Bhava (mid-heaven). Dhan, Putr, Randhr and Labh Bhava are Panapharas (succedents), while Sahaj, Ari, Dharm and Vyaya Bhava are called Apoklimas (cadents). Putr and Dharm Bhava are known by the name Kon (or trine). Evil Bhavas, or Dusthan Bhavas are Ari, Randhr and Vyaya Bhava. Chaturasras are Bandhu and Randhr Bhava. Sahaj, Ari, Karm and Labh Bhava are Upachaya Bhavas. 37-
38. Names of Bhavas. Thanu, Dhan, Sahaj, Bandhu, Putr, Ari, Yuvati, Randhr, Dharm, Karma, Labh and Vyaya are in order the names of Bhavas. I explained these briefly and leave it to you to grasp more, according to your intelligence. As delivered by Lord Brahma, some further information is added thus (i.e. in the following verses). 39-43. Indications from Bhavas. Dharm Bhava and the 9th from Surya deal with one’s father. Whatever effects are to be known from the Karm and Labh
Bhava, be also known from similar Bhavas, counted from Surya. Whatever results are to be known from Bandhu, Tanu, Dhan, Labh and Dharm should also be known from the 4th of Candr, from Kark Rashi itself and from the 2nd, 11th and 9th from Candr, respectively. Whatever has to be known through Sahaj Bhava, be also analyzed through the 3rd from Mangal. The 6th from Budh be also considered in regard to indications, derivable from Ari Bhava. The 5th from Guru, the 7th from Sukr and both the 8th and 12th from Sani stand for consideration, respectively, in respect of offspring, spouse and death. The Lord of the Bhava is equally important, when estimating the indications of a particular Bhava.
