Introduction

Uttara kalamrita isan invaluable contribution in the field of Astrology by the poet Kalidasa. Some authorities have expressed Iheirdoubts about lhe authorship inspile of the referrences in the first three Slokas aboul the poet and the king Vikramaditya and claim that the text hasbcencomposcd by some Astrologer of South India. Whatever may be the truth, the fact remains that it is a praiseworthy compilation of Astrological findings on the various aspeas of human life pertaining to a native and makes the study both instructive and profitable to all-whether casual readers or sch 0 \;:J rs.

This Book is divided into two Kanda : the first consists of8 sections dealing with Time of Binh, Planets, Bhavas, Strength of Planets. Length of Life, Planetary effects in several Bhnvas, $atum and Jupitercombining to make the philosopher, Function (Karkatva) ofBhavas and Planets (this part is unparellel), Dasa Periods and on Queries; the second kanda deals with issues like the Sraddha ceremonies, rituals and the adoption of sons. As no one Book is enough and complete in itselfand a good collection of books on anyone subject is essential, this Uttarakalamrita will certainly make a wonderful companion of the reader, whatever else he might have studied. Remember in the absence of a Guru, books are the best Guide. Such a Guide will be the UHarakalamrita.

My thanks are due to Narinder Sagar orSagar Publications in bringing out this book so suf"'ttSSfully.

Sloka·S,6. (8) Nakshatra Suddhi: Multiply tbe Ghati

-kas and Vighatikas of the Ishla Kala by 4 and divide the prod

-uct by 9. The remainder should be counted beginning with Aswini, Magha or MooIa in whatsoever Patyaya

falls. The 27 Naksba -lras are distributed in 3 Paryayas consisting of 1st 10 9th, 10th to 18th and 19th to 27th. This will give the Janma Nakshatm.

Example: Suppose a native was born on 6.3.1980 at Ishta Ghatika. 56.12. Therefore,

of the native with the belp of Ishl. Ghatika and Vighatika. Knowledge of the sex of the native can also be gained through Pranpada. Distribute the 27 Nakshtras in 3 Paryaya of 9 Naksha· tras each. Aswini to Aslesba should make the 1st Paryaya; Magba to Jyestba, the 2nd and the 3rd should comprise of Moola to Revati. When the Ishta kala is multiplied by 4 and divided by 9, the remainder will give the Janma Nakshatra. This will also tell about the accuracy of the Ishta kala. When the Janma Naksbatra discovered through this Paddbati is identical with the one indicated by the Rasi occupied by the Moon in a nativity, the Ishta kala

should be taken as correct, otherwise some addition or deduc· tions

",;,ilI

have to be made in it. Similarly, the correctness of the Janma Lagna should also be verified in this manner.

Sioka-S. 1be 8th Muhurata has no lord. In the case of

day births the portion belonging to Saturn is called Gulika. In the case of night births, the lords of the lst 7 Muhuratas

will

be

in the same order as sialed above, but the lord of the lsi seven Muhuralas are reckoned nol from the lord of the week day

chosen, but from that of the 5th from it. Here also the portion

belonging to Saturn

will

be taken as that of Gutika. But Gutika

will be

from

tbe last portion of Saturn Viz., al the end of Ghatikas

10, 6, 2, 26, 22, 18 and 14 respectively.

Gbulika and Mandi are taken as two sons of Saturn and according to Mandavya Rishi they are most harmful: wherever

they are

posited

they destroy the effects of that Bhavl!

one and the same thing; and it is a popular view. Bul the autbor

here on the basis of Rishi Mandavya's view has maintained their plurality. Tberefore, to arrive at Mandi multiply the

Ghatikas of the lshta kala by tbe number assigned to the

week-day and divide the product by 30. The Ghatika-Palas thus

obtained should be used to fix Mandi in the Rasi, Amsa. Kala and Villala the same way as is done 10 place tbe Lagn •.

The reader should remember about Gulika that the portion owned by Saturn. on the week-day of the birth, belongs to Gulika.

For this purpose, divide the Dinmana in eight-equal parts and the lord of each Maburata will be computed from the week day

of the birth. The portion allowed 10 Saturn will belong to Gulilea.

In the case of night birth divide the Ratrimana in eight equal parts and count the Stb Muhurata from tbe ,week-day of the birth and find out tbe portion belonging to Saturn, that will be

called Gulika. In short, note the week-day of the birth and divide its Ratrimana or Dinmana by eight. The eighth part will

be one Muhul3ta. In the day birth the lord of the first Mahurata will be denoted by the planet owning the week day of the birth and in the case of night-birtb it will be the 5tb from tbe lord of

the week~ay. Write this Maburata in one place and count the

position of Saturn; such as, Sunday as

7th.

Tuesday as Stb and

Wednesday as tbe 4th etc. In the night-birth count from the Sth planet denoted by the week-day. Note the position of Saturn.

This should be multiplied by the 8th portion of the Ratriman.

The product will give tbe Ishta of Gulika. Compute with tbis 100 Lagna, it will give Gulika Sphuta Lagna or Gulika Sphuta.

Example. Gulika is to be found in the case of Day birth on Monday, Oinaman is 32 Ghatikas.

1berefore, 32

+

8 = 4 Ghatikas for one Mahurata.

Count upto Saturday from Monday. It is 6th (in order).

Hence 4 x 6

=

24 Ghalikas. This is GuHka's Ishta Kala as desired. This will belp posting GuJika the way the Lagna is computed.

Father at Birth Time

Sloka·10 When the Lagoa is not aspected by the Moon and the SUD is posited in the 81h or the 9th Bhava: if the SUD

occupies a movable sign, the father will be in another village;

if it is in a fixed sign, be will be in his own village; if it is in a dual sign, the father will be on his way home. When the Moon is associated with malefic planets, the mother has to endure

much distress and pain.

o Notes: Remember tbe signs from Aries to Pisces

(tumwise) are movable (Char;' fixed (Sthira) and dual

(Dwes-wabbava):

Movable Fixed Dual

Aries Taurus Gemini

Cancer -Leo Virgo

Libra Scorpio Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

'The Sun is the Karaka of the father. When the Sun, Kar-aka of fatber, occupies a movable sign the father should be

somewhere far on the move; if he is in a fixed sign, be (father) should be at home and; if he is in a dual sign, the father will be

somewhere on the way.

In the same way, the Moon being the Karaka of mother denotes for the position of the mother. When the Moon con· joins evil planets the mother has to suffer at the labour time and this suffering will be in proportion to the evil character of the

associating planets.

About tbe I amp and the Qil in the Labour Room ·

Sioka-ii. 'The number of midwives attending on the woman in labour will correspond with the number of planets between

the l.agna and the Moon. The planets outside the Moon and the Lagna will denote the number of WQn.en a!tending her without

the Chamber. 'The Moon denotes the oil in the Lamp. i.e., quan-tity of oil left in the lamp will correspond with the degrees yet to be traversed by the Moon in ber sign. The wick of tbe lamp is to be assessed from the

lagna-

the portion of the Rising Sign

yet to rise - and that of the Lamp itselr. from the Sun. The lords

of the various directions respectively are the Sun of the East;

Venus. Soulb - East; Mars - South; Rabu, South - West; Saturn,

West; the Moon., North - West, Mercury, North and; Jupiter of

the North - East.

The door of the delivery room will be in the direction indicated by tbe powerful planets occupying tbe Kendra (Angular) houses or in the absence oC such a position., by tbe strongest of

them (kendra) in the chart.

Notes: These Astrological indications have been devised

in order to check the accuracy of tbe Janma Lagna and the sat-israction of tbe parents of the native born. The females present

in tbe Labour Room to help are called mid- wives. Their number

sbould be devised on tbe basis of the planets being between the

Lagna and tbe Moon. But remember. if perchance all tbe plan-ets are so placed, do not indicate more tban

S

to 7 midwives. If

any planet is witb tbe Moon or in the Lagna. tbe planet in tbe

Lagna sbould be of bigber degrees tban tbat of tbe

Lagna

and

tbe planet witb the Moon should be of lower degrees tban tbose

of the Moon.

The oil, already. burnt in tbe lamp or is left, is 10 be as-sessed by tbe degrees tbe Moon has traversed in ber sign or yet to traverse. This sounds incongruous in the days of electricity; but it will be true where tbere is DO electric current available

and people live by oil lamps. The same way tbe direction of tbe

door of tbe labour room should be indicated from the strongest planet occupying tbe Angular Hom:.f'

Sec II. Calculation of tbe several kinds of

strength, etc.

Sloka-1 All the 12 Rasis (Signs) rise by tum from the Easl. The first six of these from the Lagna (Ase.) represent the

right side of the native and the same denote the len side of his

wife. In the same manner, the Rasis (rom the 7th upto the Lagna are his left side and that for the wife are the right side. 1be

lagna should be taken as life and soul of the native and the

8hava occupied by the Moon as his body. In lhis way these two Bhavas will denote all about the soul and the body of the na-tive. While reading the birth chart of a native, tbe effects aris-ing out of the several bhavas (whether reckoned from the Lagna

or the Moon) should always be based judiciously on the auspi-cious or otherwise character of the respective houses, their

lords and their Karakas. For example, all about the mother of

the native will be devised from the 4th Bhava, its lord, its Karaka,

the Moon and all the benefic/malefic influences falling on them.

In this connection it may be mentioned here that in

Astrology :me Lagnas are taken into account, viz., the Sun,

the Moon and the Lagna; out of tbese, Lagna and the Rasi occupied by the Moon deserve special attention. It has been experienced that in certain cases a study of the nativity proves more fruitful in considering the respective effects of the vari-ous Bhavas when reckoned from the Moon's position in the chart rather tban the Ascendent. That is one of the reasons why tbe Moon Rasi bas been considered as tbe body of tbe Kal-apursha; and a sound mind and a great soul are not possible

without a strong body.

Cf Chandra Kala Nadi by Dev Keralkar:

Chandra Lagna is body and the

Lagna

is soul.

There-fore, in Astrology results have been devised after examining

the various 8havas from both the Lagnas. 11 is customary in Northern India to prepare tbe Moon Ascendant Chart also along

with the Lagna Chart when writing the Horoscope.

Along with tbis,

the

basic principl

e

of

predictive

Astrol-ogy is to examine also the lord of the Shava under

considera-tion, its Karab and the Bhava itself. Without this no consid·

eration of a nativity would be commendable.

is the exaltation sign of the Sun. Their lords respectively are Mercury, the Moon. Jupiter, Mars, Jupiter and Mars. Singu·

larly they are Mercury, the Moon, Jupiter and Mars. Aries has

been counted twice. Therefore, actually only the 6 houses have

been ' dealt with. The remaining 6 are Leo, Ubra, Capricorn,

Aquarius, Taurus and Gemini. Their respective lords are thc

Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Whcn we oounl Sat·

urn and Venus once only and drop the Sun, we arc len with Venus, Saturn and Mercury. Compare these with the fanner set of planets; viz., Mercury, Moon, Jupiter and Mars. Mercury alone has come as a friend and an enemy in both the list. Therefore, be will remain neutral. Thus Venus and Saturn are left as his

enemies and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter are his friends. Simi· larly, we can compute with the other planets. This is called Natural relationship of planets.

Planets occupying the three houses before or after from any particular planet in the birth chart become the friends of

that

planet and

the

rest become

bis

enemies

for the time being.

This is called Temporary Friendship or enmity (relationship).

Some authorities opine that the planets occupying the

exalta-tion sign of a particular planet are also his friends. Combining

the three natural relations with the two temporary ones we get

the 'Panchdha' (five) following types of friendship of the planets: Alimitm (great friend) Mitra (friend) Sarna (neutral), Salro (enemy), and Atisatru (great enemy) .

respectively are : Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra

and Aquarius. Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo, Canoer, Pisces

and Libra are the enltation Rasis of the SUR, tbe Moon., Mars

Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn respectively. When a planet

occupies his exaltation Rasi, his Bala (strength) is equivalent

10 1 Rupa (full); in tbe Moolatrikona it reduces to 3/4th of a

Rupa; in his own Rasi. it becomes 1/2 of a Rupa; in the

Rasi

of

an Adhimitra it contracts to 3/41h of. Rupa; in that of his mitra,

Sloka-6 The strengtb of a planet, retrograde in his

exaltation. When a planet is in association with a retrograde planet, the strength be

gets

is 1(2 a Rupa. When a planet ocru-pies his exaltation Bhava, but is retrograde in his motion, be gets only his Neechabala: be is without any strength. Should a planet be retrograde while in his debilitation Bhava, his strength is akin to that when in his exaltation. A planet in conjunction with another planet which is in exaltation gets 1/2 a Rupa. When he conjoins anotber who is in his debilitation he gets

nothing. When a planet associates himself with malefics who may be his friends, or with henefics who happen to be his enemies, gelS only 1/2 a Rupa.

Sioka-S. Obtain the figures for the auspicious and inaus

-picious portions of the Saptavargajabalas of the lords of the

afore said three decanates. Multiply tbe malefic portion by

120. Divide the pnxlUCI by 7. 1be result thus obtained will

indicate the number in years. Take away from it as many 120

year-periods as are possible. 1be remainder will reveal the Ayus of the man concerned in the respective Janma out of the

past, present and future. This method has been pointed out here

by way of discussion and also because it is simpler than tbe

Amsayurdaya method.

Sloka-3. (I) Should the 9th and 10th Bhavas be

respec-tively occupied by their own lords; (2) when their lords conjoin in either of these houses, (3) when they occupy each other's bhava; or (4) they mutually aspect each olher, then these two

lords become responsible for the Rajayoga in any nativity.

(S)

Should these lords of the 9th and the 10th associate themselves with any of the lords of tbe 5th, the 7th, the 1st or the 4th or (6) occupy any of these houses they bltss the man concerned with wealth, happiness and prosperity. But these lords of tbe 9th and the 10th, in no case, sbould own the 8th or the t lIh Bhava as

This nalive has retired from the senior most Police postoflndian Govt. Mere, the lord oftbe 10th Kendra is in the Lagna with the Sun, the Ion!

of the 9th, in the Sign Sagittarius. The Lagna and these lords of a Kana

and a Kendra enjoy the aspect of Jupiter from the 9th house (a Kana) _ the Lord ofLagna. Again, the Sun and Jupiter are occupying each

olher's house. This Jupiter aspects Mars in Hie 3rd house who, in turn,

is aspecting Sat. in the 10th house. The Link between these 5 planets fonning the great Raja Yoga may be noted. Venus, the lord ofthe 11th is in the 2nd and is alone responsible for the Dhana Yoga. Hence the

native enjoyed position, status, Royal favour and prosperity.
