EL SISTEMA MONETARIO BASADO EN EL CACAO

Stanza 75. — Saturn in the 10th house denotes troubles from pisachas; Gulika in Lagna or the 8th house aspected by Rahu generates poison in the system due to smelling or evil eye; malefics in the 6th cause stomach troubles: Mars in the 8th gives rise to fever, in Lagna or the 7th, indigestion. When the Moon is in the 6th troubles arise from enemies.

Stanza 76. — The intensity of evil a planet is subject to should be properly assessed by noting where he stands, who associates with him, who is aspecting him, and so forth, and then

the prediction must bs made suiting the circumstance.

Stanza 77. — It should be examined whether any malefic planets occupy houses other than 3rd and 11th. Then it should be inferred that the person is suffering from a disease, appropriate to the malefic.

Stanza 78. — There will be wounds or diseases in the limbs typified by the signs aspected by or associated with malefic planets, according to the dictum kandruk, etc.

NOTES

Here the reference is to the sloka beginning from kandruk strotra in the V Chapter (24) in Brihat Jataka. For details refer to Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao's English translation of Brihat Jataka.

Stanza 79. — If Lagna is movable, urdhwa-mukha and sirshodaya, the seat of disease will be above the neck. The drekkana classification given by Varahamihira refers only to horoscopes.

NOTES

If Lagna is sthira, thiryaugmukha and ubhayodaya, the disease will be below neck and above waist. If Lagna is ubhaya, adhomukha and prishtodaya, it will be below waist.

Stanza 80. — If Rasi and Navamsa are similar i.e., chara, etc., then consider the limbs according to Rasi classification. If they differ, consider on the basis of urdhwamukha, etc.

NOTES

If the ascendant in the Rasi and Navamsa are in movable signs, or in fixed signs or in common signs, take the Rasi classification of limbs. If on the other hand, the Rasi and Navamsa Lagnas fall in different categories — one in chara and the other in sthira, one in sthira and the other in dwiswabhava, etc., adopt the method given in stanza 6.

Stanza 81. — The Sun becomes very weak in the last Drekkaoa of Virgo, in the first Drekkana of Libra and Libra Navamsa of any sign. If the Sun is weak/then see whether Lagna is sirshodaya, prishtodaya or ubhayodaya and classify the area of disease accordingly.

Stanza 82. — For purposes of Prasna, the allocation of organs to different houses beginning from Lagna as done in Krishneeya should be followed.

Stanzas 83 and 84. — The expired and unexpired portions of Lagna represent the right and left sides of the head, the neck and navel. Two Bhavas each beginning from Lagna — 1st in the invisible half and the other in the visible half indicate the right and left sides respectively of the other organs thus: the 2nd and 12th — ears, shoulders and sex organs; 3rd and 11th — eyes, sides and testicles; 4th and 10th — nostrils, back and thighs; 5th and 9th — cheeks and knees; 6th and 8th — chin, stomach and legs; and the un-expired and expired portions of the 7th — mouth, waist and feet.

These two stanzas are very suggestive. The human body is divided into three parts, viz., head, the region below the neck and above the waist, and the region below the waist. By the situation of a dustha in a particular place, one can locate the seat of disease in one of the three parts. After this has been done, the organs affected should be ascertained according to the allocation given in these stanzas. In the three regions, the right and left sides of the different organs are thus allocated.

Stanza 85. — The allocation of organs to different Bhavas by Varahamihira according to the sloka 'Kandruk srotra' should be considered as applying to horoscopy only.

NOTES

In Chapter V, stanza 24, the great Mihira assigns different organs of the human body to the different signs of the zodiac. Here also the body is divided into three parts — above the neck,below the neck and above the waist, and below the waist. Organs in the left and right sides in each of these parts are assigned to Bhavas in the visible and invisible halves, but Drekkanas are considered in locating the particular region or part of the body. We are informed that Varaha Mihira's allocation is applicable to horoscopy only and not to Prasna.

Stanza 86. — Having understood the nature of different types of diseases, suitable medical treatment should be recommended. If the disease is serious, remedial measures as suggested in Karma Vipaka of Sathyacharya, should be adopted.
