Foreword

nchinthiyam is a very valuable

commentary on intricacies of Sage
Jaiminis approach to astrology. It
might interest the readers to know that
Krishna Mishra, a contemporary of the
great Varha Mihira (505-587) had said in
his Jyotish Phala Ratnamala, an
authoritative text on Jaimini:

Meaning: The Goddess (Bl Tripura

Sundari) has revealed to me that on account
of curse of Sage Kanva, a south Indian
Brahmin by the name Vnchintha shall
elaborate on my text, 3832 years after year of
Kali (or at the age of nineteen), through a
text written by him for popularizing it in
general public.
The
original
Sanskrit
text
called
Vnchinthiyam was translated to
Telugu and Published by Shri Kompalli
Narasimha Sastri of Sastri Jyotishalayam
Tuni, East Godavari District and printed at
Lakshmi Printing Works Rajamundri in 1933.

A copy of this valuable text was given by a

great Jaimini astrology scholar and a living
legend Shri Madura Krishnamurthy Sastriji,
to Shri Ravindra Bhgwat who kindly made
this available to Saptarishis Astrology
management for the benefit of astrology
fraternity. Shri V. Rghavendra Rao who is
himself a scholar in Indian culture and
Jyotish, has painstakingly translated this,
very valuable, text first from Telugu Sanskrit
lipi to English for the benefit of astrologers at
large.
It has not been an easy job since there is a
difference in the way Telugu, which uses a
derivative of Brhmi script, is written and
where some of the letters are pronounced in a
different manner than Sanskrit which uses
Devangari script. All efforts have been
made to correct any anomaly in the original
shlokas while retaining the text of the
definition (Vykhy) as understood from the
original Telugu script, as far as possible.
I trust the readers will appreciate the
contributions of Rghavendra Ro Madhur
Krishnamurty Sudhindra Kumar and, in
bringing out this great astrological work.

Starting from Lagna count number of signs up to where the Lagnadhipati is placed, from that sign
the same number signs to be counted forward, that sign is fixed as Mxf Lagnarudha.
Example: In a Chart Janma Lagna is Karkataka, Lagnadhipati Chandra is placed in Simha.
Starting from Karkataka count up to where Lagnadhipati is placed; ie. Chandra is placed in the
second Rasi from Karkataka; therefore count second Rasi from Simha and you get Kany Rshi,
which becomes Arudha Lagna.

Birth time in Ghatis is to be divided with five, treat this as number of rasis, add reminder to the
quotient Rshi, note it down. Lord of the weekday of birth is to be taken as base, find out the
weekday lord placed in Navamsa; from this sign count clockwise direction the number of signs
worked out above. Fix the sign as Bhava Lagna.
Example: Week day of birth = Saturday, Saturn is placed in Tula Navamsa, Birth time is 42.22
Ghatis from sunrise, divide it by 5. This comes to 8 as quotient, while the remainder is 2-22. Add 8
to the navamsa Rasi Tula to get Mithuna Rshi, as the Bhva lagna.
Chandrashekhars comment: This is a novel approach to calculation of Bhva lagna. The usual
method of deriving Bhva lagna is to divide the time at birth (in ghatis) by five and add the
product to the degres of Surya to get the Bhva lagna.

Take the birth time Ghatis after sunrise, divide it with 2 1/2 take the quotient as Rasis add the
remainder to it Treat this as base. Rule: If the Lagna happens to be Odd sign we have to count
base number of signs forward starting from Suns position. If Lagna happens to be even sign we
have to count base number of signs forward starting from Lagna.
Chandrashekhars comment: I do not think remainder is to be added as one rshi.

Example: Birth time in terms of Ghati = 42-22, Divide 42-22 with 2 1/2 = 16 quotient remainder is
1 hence 16+1 = 17 = base Here birth lagna is Karkataka, is an even sign so start counting 17 from
Janma lagna, falls in Vrischika Rasi fix it as Hora Lagna.
(Note: Since rasis are 12, the number arrived at base, if it is more than 12, is to be divided with 12 and the
remainder is to be taken into account for counting forward, in this case base is 17 hence 17/12, 5 is reminder so
count five Rasis forward from Karkataka = Vrichika)

Chandrashekhars comments: Here again a new concept of counting from Lagna in case of an even
rshi being lagna is introduced, whereas for an odd rshi lagna the shloka follows the traditional
system of calculation of hora lagna.

Starting from Lagna each one Ghati of time is to be treated as a lagna.
Example: Birth time = 42-22 divide it with 12 comes to 6-22. Since the Birth lagna is Karkataka,
starting from Karkataka 7th sign happens to be Ghatika lagna.
(Explanation Here Ghati lagna falls 22 vighatis after six signs hence Makara is taken)

Nitya lagna falls in 4th Rasi from Bhagya Rasi in clock wise direction if Bhagya Rasi happens to be
in odd sign. If Bhagya Rasi falls under even sign it is to be computed vice versa that is 4th Rasi on
anti clock wise direction from Bhagya Rasi Nityalagna changes at each 5 Ghatis from the time
of birth. (This entire para is not in moola as vyakhya to the above Sanskrit vyakhaya)
From Lagna 9th sign is Bhagya Rasi. If that Bhagya Rasi is Odd sign clock wise
direction if Bhagya Rasi is even sign anti clock wise to be counted based on Chatush
Kendra Krama (which means based on the trines). Which means from 9 th four Kendras
clockwise first, if even four Kendras anticlock wise. Five Ghati time period is Nitya
Lagna. If ninth sign is an Odd sign - starting from sun rise if birth takes before five
Ghatis Bhagya Rasi itself is Nitya Lagna. If birth takes place in second fifth Ghati
Starting from Bhagya based on Chatush Kendra Krama Dwadasa is Nitya Lagna (from
9th 4th rasi is =12). If birth takes place in 3rd fifth Ghati Starting from Bhagya 3rd
Kendra is Saptama is Nitya lagna). If birth takes place in fourth 5th Ghati From
Bhagya fourth Kendra falls in 6th sign from Lagna is Nitya Lagna.
If Bhagya Rasi from Lagna falls in even sign, then From sun rise of birth takes
place in first 5 Ghatis Ninth sign itself is Nitya Lagna. If birth takes place in second 5 th
Ghati from Bhagya anti-clock direction 2nd Kendra 6th sign from Lagna is Nitya Lagna.
If birth takes place in third 5th Ghati from Bhagya 3rd Kendra 3rd sign from Lagna is Nitya
Lagna. If birth takes place in fourth 5th Ghati anti clock wise 10th Kendra 2nd Rasi from
Lagna is Nitya Lagna. Like this if Janana Kala Ghati is more than 20 the same is to be
repeated.
Example: Take the earlier example Birth time is 42-22 Ghatis from Sun rise. If divided
with 5 = 42.22/8 = 8+1 = 9th sign. Lagna is Karkataka, since Karkataka is an even sign its
9th sign is Meena. Translators explanation - (42.22 /5 = 8- 2.22 Ghatis, here 2.22 Vighati is
more than 8 Rasis that means after 8 signs it has also went 2.22 in 9 th sign as such one rasi
is added).
Chandrashekhars comment: The shloka and also the definition given suggests that the count is
kendras from Bhgya rshi, in direct or reverse fashion depending on the bhgya rshi being odd
or even. There does not appear to be any mention of Nitya lagna falling in 6th bhva from bhgya
rshi, in case of even bhgya rshi.

Uses of Six Lagnas are explained

(1)Janma Lagna is useful to predict everything.

(2)Arudha Lagna is useful in predicting whether the native is having wealth (Bhagya) or not. If
benefic planet is placed in Arudha Lagna wealth is indicated, if malefic planet is placed poverty
is indicated.
(3) Ghatika lagna is useful in ascertaining Raja Yoga.
(4) Bhava Lagna is useful in knowing parents matters
(5) Hora Lagna is useful in knowing the longevity of parents and Raja Yogas.
(6) Nitya Lagna is useful in Prasna (Horary Astrology) and day to day activities
Chandrashekhars comment: I think the shloka talks of Arudha lagna being used to assess whether
the jtaka has much fortune or not.

Now begin the views about aspects.
Wherever in the Chart a planet placed in Fixed sign aspect the movable signs and the planets
placed in it except (leaving) the adjacent movable sign. The Planets placed in movable signs aspect
the fixed signs and the planets placed in it except the adjacent fixed sign. The Planets placed in
Dual signs aspect the planets placed in other dual signs leaving the self (own) dual sign.

Example: Moon is placed in Simha Rasi (fixed sign), leaving the immediate movable sign of
Karkataka, aspects Tula, Makara, Mesha and the Saturn placed in Tula. Ravi, Budha, Kuja
placed in Vrischika Rasi (fixed sign) aspecting Mesha, Karkataka, Makara movable signs, leaving
the immediate movable sign Tula. Saturn placed in Tula is aspecting, leaving the Vrichika Rasi
and the planets placed in it, the Simha, Vrushabha, Kumbha Rasis and the Moon placed in Simha
Rasi. Guru is placed in the Dual sign Dhanur Rasi, is aspecting the dual signs of Kanya,
Mithuna, Meena. Sukra is placed in Kanya is aspecting Guru placed in Dhanur and Meena
Mithuna Rasis.

Now the strength of grahas ( being described)
The Planets placed in Movable signs are powerful than the planets placed in fixed signs. The
planets placed in Duel signs are more powerful than the planets placed in fixed signs. As such the
planes placed in duel signs are more powerful than the other planets placed other than movable
signs. As already discussed in the previous example (under planetary aspects chapter) the planets
Guru and Shukra placed in Dual signs are powerful than the planets, Chandra, Ravi, Budha, Kuja
placed in fixed signs, and Saturn placed in Movable sign.

Balarista
The male children who born during first half Ghati (12 mts) of Hora have Balarista. For
Female last half Ghati of Hora is Balarista.

Chandrashekhars Comment: The original shloka also says that the won rshis of the nodes are to be accepted
per ancient science and goes on to say that the exaltation rshi of Ketu is Simha and that of Rahu is
Vrishchika. This is different from the position of Parashara who tells Vrishabha being exaltation or Rahu and
Vrishchika of Ketu.
The definition or explanation, also talks of there being danger to life of the Jtaka if it be a male born if in day
birth the hora is even while in night if the male birth is in odd hora, if the birth is in the first half ghati of that
hora, there is danger to the life when a child. Similarly if a female is born in sama hora birth, birth in the last
half ghatis of the sama hora indicate possibility of death of the jtaka.

Chandrashekhars Special Comments: The definition text is transliterated from Telugu and I have left it
untouched, having only corrected the Sanskrit shlokas and have added my comment where I felt they might add
substance to the already scholarly translation done by Shri Raghvendra Rao.
