Planets in a horoscope causing Satva, Rajo and Tamo gunas.
522. Now told are the effects of birth with Satva and other Gunas, and in Tatvas like Bhoomi (i.e. Pancha Bhutas or primordial compounds). From the status of Mars one’s valour, from that Mercury one’s greatness, from that of Jupiter one’s voice, from that of Venus one’s friendship, and from that of Saturn one’s (physical) complexion should be deduced. The effects being full etc. will depend on the planet’s strength, weakness etc.
523. Predominance of Satva Guna: One born with-the predominance of Satva Guna will be straightforward, kind and be endowed with many wives and servants. He will be firm in disposition, fond of truthfulness, will honour Gods and Brahmins, and be enduring in disposition.
Notes: The subject will inherit Satva Guna, Rajo Guna or Tamo Guna according to the predominance of the relevant planet at birth.
Refer to my comments in my notes in Sambhu Hora Prakasa, (page 22, chapter 2). For example if the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter are predominant at birth, the native displays predominance of Satva Guna (gentle disposition). If Mars, Mercury and Venus are the strongest, he will show signs of Rajo Guna (marked by passion). Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in strength impart Tamo Guna (indolence, darkness, laziness etc.).
Apart from the information given hereof concerning effects of Satva & C, the reader may consult Sambhu Hora Prakasa, page 22, referred to above.
It is to be understood that the Guna of the strongest planet will shape the future of the native. If a Satva Guna planet is the strongest, destiny will be, in sum total, the most favourable to him; Rajo Guna planet degrades the effects, and Tamo Guna planet gives the least of good luck.
524. Predominance of Rajo Guna: One born with predominance of Rajo Guna will be valorous, attached to arts, poetry and females, be skilful in performing Yagnas (religious sacrifices), be showy, fond of jokes, resolute, and knowledgeable in the meanings of the Vedas.
525. Predominance of Tamo Guna: The native with predominant Tamo Guntt will be a fool, indolent, will cheat others to be irascible, endangered, miserly, troubled by hunger, I bereft of orthodox conduct, impure, not liberal and be careless.
526. The king bears the responsibility for half of the land (i.e. kingdom) and the populace the rest. Hence, the king, enjoying the highest share of the land is known as the lord of the land.
527. One having the voice akin to the sound of a lion, Mridanga (a kind of musical drum), elephant, moving chariots, ox or clouds is capable of protecting the whole land and will become the king winning over his enemies.
528. According to Sarasvata Jataka: One having brilliant tongue, skin, teeth, eyes, nails and hair will become a king. One having dry tongue etc. will be poor.
529. The king is said to be of pure physical complexion with splendour and gloss. One contrary to this will experience grief apart from only moderate (or limited) effects in regard to progeny, wealth and happiness.
