(c) That is, from the 7 th to the 12th house and the ascendant.

(d) That is from the 10th to the 12th house and from the ascendant to the 4th house.

(e) As there are 4 Panaphara and 4 Apoklima houses, the Ardha-Chandra yogas are of 8 kinds: viz., all the planets may occupy (1) from the 2nd to the 8th house; (2) from the 3rd to the 9th house; (3) from the 5th to the 11th house; (4) from the 6th to the 12th house; (5) from the 8th to the 2nd house; (6) from the 9th to the 3rd house; (7) from the 1 1th to the 5th house; and (8) from the 12th to the 6th house.

Notes

In this stanza, the Author describes the remaining two (out of 20) Akriti yogas.

When any of these Sankhya yogas are at the same time any other Nabbasa yogas, they are to be treated as belonging to the latter class (a).

Notes

, (a) In this Stanza, the Author describes the seven Sankhya yogas.

For instance, the Gada, Sakata and Vihaga yogas described in Stanza 4 are to be treated only as such and not as Yuga yogas described in this stanza; the Stringa-taka and Hala yogas described in Stanza 4; are to be treated only as such and not as Sula yogas described in this stanza. Again, the Vajra, Yava, Kamala and Vapi yogas described in Stanza 5 as well as the Yupa, Ishu, Sakti and Danda yogas described in Stanza 7 shall not be confounded with the Kedara yogas described in this stanza. And so on.

In this stanza, the Author describes the effects of the three Asraya yogas and of the two Dala yogas. (a) According to Satyacharyar. (b) According to Garga.

12. If the Asraya yogas partake at the same time of the character of other yogas, they should be treated as the latter; otherwise, they produce the effects described for them.

Notes

Notes
