Ch. 33. Effects of Karakāńśa
1. O Brahmin, as laid down by Lord Brahma, I now tell you about the effects of Karakāńśa identical with Aries etc. (Karakāńśa is the Navāmśa, occupied by the Atma Karak Planet)
2-8. Karakāńśa in Various Rāśis. If Atma Karak happens to be in Aries Navāmśa, there will be nuisance from rats and cats at all times. A malefic joining will further increase the nuisance. Should Atma Karak be in Taurus Navāmśa, happiness from quadrupeds will result. Should Atma Karak be in Gemini Navāmśa, the native will be afflicted by itch etc. Should Atma Karak be in Cancer Navāmśa, there will be fear from water etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Leo Navāmśa, fear will be from tiger etc. If Atma Karak happens to be in Virgo Navāmśa, itch, corpulence, fire etc. will cause trouble, while, if Atma Karak is in Libra Navāmśa, he will make one a trader and skilful in making robes etc. Scorpio Navāmśa, holding Atma Karak, will bring troubles from snakes etc. and also affliction to mothers breasts. There will be falls from height and conveyances etc., if it is Sagittarius Navāmśa, that is occupied by Atma Karak. Capricorn Navāmśa in this respect denotes gains from water dwelling beings and conch, pearl, coral etc. If it is Aquarius Navāmśa, holding Atma Karak, the native will construct tanks etc. And in Pisces Navāmśa the Atma Karak will grant final emancipation. The Aspect of a benefic will remove evils, while that of a malefic will cause no good.9-11. O Brahmin, if there be only benefics in Karakāńś and the Navāmśa of Lagna receives a Aspect from a benefic, the native will undoubtedly become a king. Should the Kendras/Konas from the Karakāńś be occupied by benefics, devoid of malefic association, the native will be endowed with wealth and learning. The combination of benefic and malefic influence will in this context yield mixed results. If the Upakheta (UpaPlanet, vide Ch.32 Sloka 5) is in its exaltation, or own, or friendly Rāśi and is devoid of a Aspect from a malefic, the native will go to heaven after death.
12. If the Atma Karak is in the divisions of Moon, Mars, or Venus, the native will go to others wives. Otherwise the contrary will prevail.
13-18. Effects of Planets in the Karakāńś. O Brahmin, if Sun is in the Karakāńś, the native will be engaged in royal assignments. If the full Moon is there, he will enjoy pleasures and be a scholar, more so, if Venus gives a Aspect to the Karakāńś. If strong Mars is in Karakāńś, he will use the weapon spear, will live through fire and be an alchemist. Should strong Mercury be Karakāńś, he will be skilful in arts and trading, be intelligent and educated. Jupiter in Karakāńś denotes one, doing good acts, endowed with spiritualism and Vedic learning. One will be endowed with a longevity of 100 years, be sensuous and will look after state affairs, if Venus is in Karakāńś. Saturn in Karakāńś will give such livelihood, as due to the natives family. Rahu in Karakāńś denotes a thief, a bowman, a machinery maker and a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions. If Ketu be in Karakāńś, one will deal in elephants and be a thief.
19-22. Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś. Should Rahu and Sun be in Karakāńś, there will be fear from snakes. If a benefic gives a Aspect to Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś, there will be no fear, but a malefic Aspect will bring death (through serpents). If Rahu and Sun occupy benefic Shad Vargas, being in Karakāńś, one will be a doctor, treating poisonous afflictions, while the Aspect from Marson Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś denotes, that the native will burn either his own house, or that of others. Mercury’s Aspect on Rahu-Sun in Karakāńś will not cause the burning of ones own house, but that of others. If Rahu and Sun happen to be in Karakāńś and are in a malefics Rāśi, receiving a Aspect from Jupiter, one will burn a house in ones neighborhood, while the Aspect of Venus will not cause such an event.
23-24. Gulika in Karakāńś. Should the full Moon give a Aspect to Gulika, placed in the Karakāńś, the native will lose his wealth to thieves, or will himself be a thief. If Gulika is in Karakāńś, but does not receive a Aspect from others, one will administer poison to others, or will himself die of poisoning. Mercury’s Aspect in this context will give large testicles.
25-29. Effects of Aspects on Ketu in Karakāńś. If Ketu is in Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from a malefic, ones ears will be severed, or one will suffer from diseases of the ears. Venus, giving a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, denotes one, initiated into religious order. One will be devoid of strength, if Mercury and Saturn give a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś. If Mercury and Venus give a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, one will be the son of a female slave, or of a female remarried. With Saturn’s Aspect on Ketu in Karakāńś one will perform penance, or be a servant, or will be a pseudo-ascetic. Venus and Sun together, giving a Aspect to Ketu in Karakāńś, will make one serve the king. Thus, o Brahmin, are told briefly the effects of Karakāńś.
30-31. Effects of the 2nd from Karakāńś. If the 2nd from Karakāńś falls in the divisions of Venus, or Mars, one will be addicted to others wives and, if Venus, or Mars give a Aspect to the 2nd from Karakāńś, the tendency will last till death. If Ketu is the 2nd from Karakāńś in a division of Venus, or Mars, addiction to others wives will not prevail, while the position of Jupiter will cause such an evil. Rahu in the 2nd from Karakāńś will destroy wealth.32. Effects of the 3rd from Karakāńś. A malefic in the 3rd from Karakāńś will make one valorous, while a benefic in the 3rd from Karakāńś will make one timid.
33-35. Effects of the 4th from Karakāńś. If the 4th from Karakāńś happens to be occupied by Venus and Moon, one will own large buildings, like palaces etc. Similar is the effect of an exalted Planet in the said 4th. A house, made of stones, is denoted by the occupation of the 4th from Karakāńś by Rahu and Saturn. Mars and Ketu in the 4th from Karakāńś indicate a house, made of bricks, while Jupiter in the 4th from Karakāńś denotes a house, made of wood. Sun in the 4th from Karakāńś will give a house of grass. If Moon is in the 4th from Karakāńś, one will have union with his wife in an uncompounded house.
36-40. Effects of the 5th from Karakāńś. If Rahu and Mars are in the 5th from Karakāńś, one will suffer from a pulmonary consumption, more so, if Moon gives them a Aspect. The Aspect of Mars on the 5th from Karakāńś will bring boils, or ulcers, Ketu’s Aspect on the 5th from Karakāńś will cause dysentery and other diseases, caused by (impure) water. If Rahu and Gulika happen to be in the 5th from Karakāńś, there will be fear from mean people and poison. Should Mercury be in the 5th from Karakāńś, the native will be an ascetic of the highest order, or one, holding staff. Sun in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a knife. Mars in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes one, using a spear. Saturn denotes a bowman, if Saturn is placed in the 5th from Karakāńś. Rahu in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes a machinist. Ketu in the 5th from Karakāńś denotes a watch maker. Venus in the 5th from Karakāńś will make one a poet and an eloquent speaker.
41-45. Effects of Karakāńś and the 5th from there. If Jupiter and Moon are in Karakāńś, or the 5th thereof, the native will be an author. Venus will make one an ordinary writer, while Mercury will indicate, that the writing skills are less than those of an ordinary writer. Should Jupiter be alone, one will be a knower of everything, be a writer and be versed in Vedas and Vedanta philosophy, but not an oratorian, or a gramm6than. Mars denotes a logician, Mercury a Mimamsaka (follower of 10th Mimansa), Saturn indicates, that one is dull-witted in the assembly, Sun denotes, that one is a musician, Moon denotes a follower of Sankhya philosophy (of Mahārśi Kapila, who enumerated 25 true principles with emphasis on final bliss) and indicates, that one is versed in rhetoric and singing and Ketu, or Rahu denotes, that one is a astrologer. Should Jupiter be related to the positions of Karakāńś, or the 5th from there, while the Karakāńś is caused by others than him, the effects, as stated, will effectively come to pass. Some say, that the 2nd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered.
46. Effects of the 6th from Karakāńś. If the 6th from Karakāńś is occupied by a malefic, the native will be an agriculturist, while he will be indolent, if a benefic is in the 6th from Karakāńś. The 3rd from Karakāńś should also be similarly considered.
47-48. Effects of the 7th from Karakāńś. If Moon and Jupiter are in the 7th from Karakāńś, the native will beget a very beautiful wife. Venus in the 7th form Karakāńś denotes a sensuous wife, while Mercury in the 7th from Karakāńś indicates a wife, versed in arts. Sun in the 7th from Karakāńś will give a wife, who will be confining domestic core, while Saturn in the 7th from Karakāńś denotes a wife of a higher age bracket, or a pious and/or sick wife. Rahu in the 7th from Karakāńś will bring a widow in marriage.
49. Effects of the 8th from Karakāńś. If a benefic, or the Planet, owning the 8th from Karakāńś, happens to be in the 8th from Karakāńś, the native will be long-lived, while a malefic, placed in the 8th from Karakāńś, will reduce the life span. Aspect/Conjunct of both benefics and malefics will yield a medium span of life.
50-56. Effects of the 9th from Karakāńś. If the 9th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is occupied by a benefic, the native will be truthful, devoted to elders and attached to his own religion. If a malefic gives a Aspect to, or occupies the 9th from Karakāńś, one will be attached to his religion in boyhood, but will take to falsehood in old age. If Saturn and Rahu, one will betray his elders and be adverse to ancient learning. If Jupiter and Sun, one will betray his elders and will be disobedient to them. Should Mars and Venus give a Aspect to, or occupy the 9th from Karakāńś and are joining in six identical Vargas, a female, ill-related to the native, will die. Mercury and Moon giving a Aspect to, or occupying the 9th from Karakāńś and joining in six identical Vargas will cause imprisonment of the native, due to association with a female not of his own. If Jupiter is alone, related to the 9th from Karakāńś by Aspect, or by Conjunct, the native will be addicted to females and be devoted to sensual enjoyments.
57-60. Effects of the 10th from Karakāńś. If the 10th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is conjoined by a benefic, the native will have firm riches, be sagacious, strong and intelligent. A malefic, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or occupying this House, will cause harm to his profession and deprive him of paternal bliss. Mercury and Venus, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this House, will confer many gains in business and will make him do many great deeds. Sun and Moon, giving a Aspect to the 10th from Karakāńś, or conjoining this place and receiving a Aspect from, or be in Conjunct with Jupiter, the native will acquire a kingdom.
61-62. Effects of the 11th from Karakāńś. If the 11th from Karakāńś receives a Aspect from, or is conjunct with a benefic, the native will enjoy happiness from co-born apart from gaining in every undertaking of his. If a malefic is in the 11th from Karakāńś, the native will gain by questionable means, be famous and valorous.
63-74. Effects of the 12th from Karakāńś. If the 12th from Karakāńś has a benefic, the expenses will be on good account, while a malefic in the 12th from Karakāńś will cause bad expenses. If the 12th from Karakāńś is vacant, then also good effects will follow. If there happens to be a benefic Planet in exaltation, or in own House in the 12th from Karakāńś, or, if Ketu is so placed and receives a Aspect from, or is conjunct with a benefic, one will attain heaven after death. One will attain full enlightenment, if Ketu is in the 12th identical with Aries, or Sagittarius and receives a Aspect from a benefic. If Ketu is in the 12th from Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from a malefic, or is there conjunct with a malefic, one will not attain full enlightenment. If Sun and Ketu are in the 12th from Karakāńś, the native will worship Lord Shiva. Moon and Ketu denotes a worshiper of Gauri. Venus and Ketu of Lakshmi and a wealthy person. Mars and Ketu of Lord Subramanya. Rahu will make one worship Durga, or some mean deity. Ketu alone denotes Subramanya’s, or Ganesh’s worshipper. If Saturn is in the 12th from Karakāńś in a malefics Rāśi, one will worship mean deities. Venus and Saturn in the 12th from Karakāńś in a malefics Rāśi will also make one worship mean deities. Similar inferences can be drawn from the 6th Navāmśa, counted from Amatya Karaks Navāmśa.
75-76. Miscellaneous Matters (up to Sloka 84). O Brahmin, if there are two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will have knowledge of Mantras and Tantras (formulas for the attainment of super-human powers). If a malefic simultaneously gives a Aspect to two malefics in a Kon from Karakāńś, the native will use his learning of Mantras and Tantras for malevolent purposes, while a benefics Aspect will make him use the learning for public good.
77-84. If Moon is in the Karakāńś, receiving a Aspect from Venus, the native will be an alchemist and, if receiving a Aspect from Mercury the native will be a doctor capable of curing all diseases. If Moon is in the 4th from Karakāńś and receives a Aspect from Venus, the native will be afflicted by white leprosy. If receiving a Aspect from Mars, the native will have blood and bilious disorders and, if receiving a Aspect from Ketu, the native will suffer from black leprosy. Should Rahu and Mars be in the 4th, or 5th from Karakāńś, the native will suffer from pulmonary consumption and, if simultaneously there happens to be Moon’s Aspect on the 4th, or the 5th, this affliction will be certain. Marsalone in the 4th, or the 5th will cause ulcers. If Ketu is in the 4th, or the 5th, one will suffer from dysentery and afflictions, due to (impure) water. Rahu and Gulika will make one a doctor, curing poisonous afflictions, or will cause troubles through poison. Should Saturn be alone in the 4th, or 5th, the native will be skillful in archery. Ketu lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one a maker of watches etc. Mercury lonely placed in the 4th, or the 5th will make one an ascetic of the highest order, or an ascetic, holding staff. Rahu, Sun and Mars, respectively, in these places denote a machinist, a knife user and a spear, or arrow user.
85-86. Moon and Jupiter in the Karakāńś, or in the 5th there from denotes a writer well versed in all branches of learning. The grade of writership will comparatively descend in the case of Venus and even further in the case of Mercury.
87-92. Planets in the 5th from Karakāńś. Should Venus be in the 5th from Karakāńś, the native will be eloquent and a poet. Jupiter denotes, that he be an exponent and be all knowing, but be unable to speak in an assembly. He will be further a gramm6than and a scholar in Vedas and Upanishads. Saturn will make one ineffective in an assembly, while Mercury will make him skilful in 10th Mimansa. Mars in Karakāńś, or the 5th there from will make one justice, while Moon in Karakāńś, or the 5th from there denotes a Sankhya Yogi, a rhetoric, or a singer. Sun in the 5th from Karakāńś will make one learned in Vedanta and music. Ketu will make one a mathematician and skilful in Jyotishya. Should Jupiter be related to the said Ketu, these learning will be by inheritance. All these as well apply to 2nd and 3rd from Karakāńś and to the Karakāńś itself apart from applying to the 5th from Karakāńś.
93-93. Should Ketu be in the 2nd, or 3rd from Karakāńś, the native will be defective in speech, more so, if a malefic gives a Aspect to Ketu, as above.
94-99. If malefics be in Karakāńś, Arudh Lagna and the 2nd and 8th from these places, there will be Kemadruma Yoga, the effects of which will be still severer, if Moon’s Aspect happens to be there. The effects, due for these Yogas, will come to pass in the Dasha periods of the Rāśis, or Planets concerned. Kemadruma Yoga will operate additionally, if there are malefics in the 2nd and 8th from the Rāśi, whose Dasha will be in currency. The results of such Yoga will also be inauspicious. If the 2nd and 8th in the Kundali, cast for the beginning of a Dasha, have malefics, then also Kemadruma prevails throughout the Dasha.
