How to read sarvatobhadra chakra
If there be Vedha caused by a malefic in one’s own week day (of birth), the person will not have peace of mind and he will suffer from mental pain.ĭuring the transit of the Sun in the three Rasis Vrishabha, Mithuna and Kataka in the East (see chakra) the direction is considered as set while the remaining three as existing (or visible). If the motion be direct, the sickness will soon subside. If a Vedha caused by a malefic should occur during the time of sickness, it will culminate in death if the motion be retrograde. Any Tithi, Rasi or Amsa or Nakshatra hit by a malefic should be scrupulously avoided in all auspicious undertakings a marriage celebrated during a Vedha will not be happy and any journey undertaken will not prove prosperous any treatment given to a patient will not end in cure and any business started will not be successful. When the planet causing Vedha is retrograde, the effect is two told: it is thrice when he is in exaltation when the motion is rapid (direct), the usual (natural) effect and when in depression, the effect is only half. In the Moon’s there will be mixed effects, in that of Venus, sexual enjoyment in that of Mercury, intelligence in that of Jupiter, all round good effect. In the Sun’s Vedha, there is misunderstanding, in that of Mars, loss of wealth that of Saturn trouble through sickness in those of Rahu and Ketu, obstacles. Just as malefics produce evil and benefics eause good, benefics associated with malefics produce only evil effects. A single Vedha will engender fear in battle, two vedhas, loss of money, three some obstacle and four death.
When there are five Vedhas simultaneously, the individual will not live. When the Vedha Is with an asterism, there is confusion, when with a letter, loss, with a vowel, sickness, and a very great obstacle when with a Tithi or Rasi. When a planet in transit is in the last or the first quarter of two asterisms (forming the juncture) in any four comers of the square, there is Vedha of the four vowels, (…) and Purna tithi in regular order commencing with that vowel intervening at the particular juncture occupied by the planet, the effects arising from these are: agitation or excitement from the first, fear from the second, loss from the third and disease from the fourth and death for the fifth.
The same should be made in the case of the Anuswara and Visarga (vowels). If there be Vedha in one of the pairs if similar vowels, the other vowel of the pair should also be considered as hit. A Saumya Vedha is one that is caused by a benefic. In the case of the pairs (1) (…) (2) (…) (3) (…) and (4) (…) if one letter of any pair be hit (has Vedha), the other’should also be considered as hit. Uttarabhadrapaha which occupy the four central position of the outer most border are passed over (transitted) by a planet the following four triplets viz. Malefics and benefics which in rapid motion partake of the nature of the planets they are associated with, when the four asterism Ardra, Hasta Poorvashada and Malefics when retrograde will cause intense evil if they are in Vedha position, while benefics will do immense good. Owing to there being no uniformity in motion among the other planets, three kinds of vedhas have been mentioned. In the case of Rahu and Ketu which are always retrograde the Vedha will be on the right and in the case of the Sun and the Moon which move direct and have no retrograde motion, the Vedha will be on the left. This is with reierence to the five planets from Mars onwards.
When it is mean one, it is towards the front. It is on the left when the motion is direct (swift). When a planet is retrograde in motion, the aspect is towards the right. These may be allotted to the 12 signs beginning with Vrishabha in the East in regular order. There now remain 12 squares, 3 on each side in the next Inner row. The 5 vacant squares of each side of the next row may be filled by a, ba, ka, ha, da in the East, by ma, da, pa, ra, ta in the South, na, ya, ma, ja, kha in the West and na, sa, ta, ca, la in the North. Fill up the 28 vacant squares of the outermost comer beginning from the North-East by the 28Īsterism with krittika, so that each side will contain 7 asterism. Which in regular order the 16 vowels from onwards in the corner squares commencing from the outer most corner in the North-East, thus filling up in rotation the 4 corners of each of the 4 sets of squares. “Draw ten lines verticalry and other ten lines cross wise over the same.
