The fourth 3.75 ghatis are under the lordship of Budha. The fifth 3.75 ghatis are ruled by Guru. The sixth 3.75 ghatis are under Sukra. The seventh 3.75 ghatis are ruled by Sani. The 8th 3.75 ghatis have no lord and Gulika who is next to Sani becomes the lord. These 3.75 ghatis are called Gulikakala and if the Atmakaraka Navamsa falls in this time, the results above named must be predicted. 3.75 ghatis is called a Yama in Sanskrit. * If the duration of day is more or less than 30 ghatis than each part is indicated by the actual duration of day divided by 8. Take Chandrawara or Monday. First Chandra 3.75 ghatis. Fourth Guru 3.75 ghatis Second Ku a 3 ” Fifth Sukra ” .Third Budha 3.75 ” Sixth Sani 3z ” ..All these six give 22.5 ghatis Seventh Gulika 3.75 ghatis Eighth Ravi 3.5 ” After this comes in Gulikakala extending from 22.5 ghatis on Monday and lasting upto 26.25 ghatis.
On Tuesday or Kujawara we commence from Kuja thus : 1. Kuja 3.75 ghatis 5. Sani 3.75 ghatis 2. Budha 33 ” 6. Gulika 3.75 ” 3. Guru 3.75 ” 7. Ravi 3.75 ” 4. Sukra 3.75 ” 8. Chandra 3.75 ” The first 5 yamas give us l8.75 ghatis. From that time till 22.5 ghatis after sunrise, there will be Gulikakala and if the Atmakaraka Navamsa falls in this, the evil results indicated above will happen. The Gulikakala has been so stated by the commentators. I have another authority for the Gulikakala. Mandapan watapariansam chaturgunyam dwihinakam.Tatkala gulikognayaha sarva karya vinasakritu. Count from Saturday to the weekday required. Take the number so obtained and multiply it by four.
Then take or deduct 2 from the number so obtained. Then Gulikakala commences at the time and continues upto 3.75 ghatis more. The results differ in these two systems. Take Monday and find out the Gulikakala as per the above rule. Monday counts as the 3rd from Saturday. Multiply this 3 by 4 and we get 12. Deduct two out of that and we get 1Q ghatis. Gulika kala falls on Monday from 22.5 ghatis to 2G.25 ghatis after sunrise. The process to find out the Gulikakala in the night is thus stated by the old commentators. Take the fifth planet from the lord of the weekday arid count from him and then the 8th in the order given above will be Gulikakala. Take for example Sunday, the 5th from him is Guru. Now take Guru. Dropping Guru we have Sukra and Sani covering the first and second period, and the 3rd period falls under Gulika on Monday. the second period on Tuesday, the 8th period on Wednesday, the 7th on Thursday, the 6th on Friday and the 5th on Saturday. When there are differences of opinion on such matters among the old writers we have to look to the opinion of the best among them, and to verify and support the theory we must also bring our large experience to help us in such interpretations. Take Hora, Varahamihira and his school. Say, that in odd signs the first Hora is governed by Ravi and the second by Chandra. In the even signs the first is governed by Chandra and the second by Ravi. But there is a different school. Some say that first Hora is governed by the lord of the house and the second by the lord of the 11th. In Drekkana more than two systems are recommended. Varahamihira says the lords of the three Drekkanas are the lords of 1st, 5th and 9th.
There are some others who say that the lords of the 3 Drekkanas are the lords of 1st, 12th and 11 th houses. There are some others who say that in chara or movable signs, the lords of the Drekkanas are the owners of the 1st, 5th and 9th. But in fixed and double bodied signs their order is quite changed. In all such cases of difference of opinion among the Maharishis I cannot pretend to say which is correct and which is not. Both may be correct as the authors, by their Divya Drishti, may have approached from different directions and may have found their observations proving quite true. I leave the readers to judge of these differences in the light of their intelligence, knowledge and personal experiences. When two Maharishis differ I must frankly tell my readers that I have no means at my command to ascertain which is better and more correct. Both of them are Mahatmas and both looked into these details by their Divya Drishti or expanded mental vision. I possess no such Divya Drishti and therefore am not in a position to go beyond the phenomena and ascertain the true causes. I have to trust the learned commentators.
SU. 30. – Chandrudrishtau chorapahritadharnaschouro va. If Chandra aspects the Atmakaraka Navamsa falling in Gulikakala, the person will be a receiver of stolen property or will become himself a thief.
NOTES I think there is not much difference between the moral and spiritual offences between these two worthies.
SU. 31.- Budhamatradrishte brihadbeejaha. If the Atmakaraka Navamsa falls in Gulikakala and possesses only the aspect of Budha, the person will have enlarged testicles.
NOTES Here Budha alone must aspect the Navamsa without the aspect of any other planets. Hydrocele is a nasty form of disease and disgusting before the public.
SU. 32. -Tathra kethow papadrishte karnachchedaha kurnarogo va. If Ketu joins the Atmakaraka Navamsa the person will have his ears cut off or will have serious ear complaints.
SU. 33.-Sukradrishte deekshitaha. If Atmakaraka and Ketu in the Navamsa, have the aspect of Sukra, the person will become a Deekshita or performer of Yagnyas or religious sacrifices.
NOTES Formerly such persons were held in high esteem. They had to lead scrupulously clean, simple and holy lives.
SU. 34.-Buidhasanidrishte nirveeryaha If the Atmakaraks with Ketu in the Navamsa has the aspects of Budha and Sani, the bind of an impotent or eunuch should be predicted.
NOTES Veerya is virility in a person and one who has no veerya is impotent.
SU. 35.-Btrdhasukradrishte pounah puniko dasipttree va. If the Karakamsa Rasi with Ketu has the aspect of Sukra and Budha, the person will talk repeating and repeating the same ideas or will be the son of a prostitute or dancing woman.
NOTES Dasees are a special class of dancing women who were devoted to the service of Gods in the temples and had no strictness in sexual matters.
SU. 36. -Sanidrishte tapaswee preshyo va. If the Karakamsa with Ketu has the aspect of Sani, he will become a Tapaswi or recluse or be a dependent and servant under somebody.
NOTES There is a great gulf of difference between the position of a man devoting all his energies on the contemplation of God and one who is dependent on others. Why both the results are ascribed to the same combination is not clear.
