Ch. 34. Yoga Karakas
1. O Brahmin, thus I have told you about the effects, derivable through Karakāńś. Now listen to the effects, 6thsing out of lordships of Planets over Houses.
2-7. Nature due to Lordships of Planets. Benefics, owning Kendras, will not give benefic effects, while malefics, owning Kendras, will not remain inauspicious. The Lord of a Kona will give auspicious results. The Lord of Lagna is specially auspicious, as Lagna is a Kendra, as well as a Kon. 5th and 9th House are specially for wealth, while 7th and 10th House are specially for happiness. Any Planet, owning 3rd, 6th, or 11th House, will give evil effects. The effects, due to the Lords of 12th and 8th House, will depend on their association. In each group the significance will be in the ascending order. 8ths Lord is not auspicious, as he owns the 12th from 9th House. If the Lord of 8th House simultaneously owns 3rd, 7th, or 11th House, he will prove specifically harmful, while his simultaneous ownership of a Kona will bestow auspicious effects. The Planet, owning a predominant House, will stall the effects, due to another, owning a less significant House and will give his own results. 8ths lordship of Sun and Moon is not evil.
8-10. Natural Benefics and Malefics. Jupiter and Venus are benefics, while Moon is mediocre in benefice and Mercury is neutral (a benefic, when associated with a benefic and a malefic, when related to a malefic). Malefics are Sun, Saturn and Mars. Full Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are stronger in the ascending order. Weak Moon, Sun, Saturn and Mars are stronger (in malefic disposition) in the ascending order. In revealing maleficence, due to rulership of Kendras, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are significant in the ascending order.
11-12. Lordships of Kendras and Konas. If there be an exchange between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, or, if a Lord of a Kendr is conjunct with a Lord of a Kon in a Kendr, or in a Kon, or, if a Lord of a Kon is in a Kendr, or vice versa, or, if there happens to be a full Aspect between a Lord of a Kendr and a Lord of a Kon, they cause a Yoga. One born in such a Yoga will become a king and be famous.
13. If one and the same Planet gets the lordships of a Kon, as well as a Kendr, or, if a Planet is in a Kendr, or in a Kon, it will prove specially a Yoga Karak.
14. Lordship of Kendr. It has been said, that a malefic, owning a Kendr, will become auspicious, which is true, only when it simultaneously Lords over a Kon and not by merely owning a Kendr.
15. If the Lords of a Kendr, or a Kon own simultaneously an evil House, he does not cause a Raja Yoga by mere relations stipulated (as per Ch. 34, Slokas 11 and 12).
16. Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu give predominantly the effects, as due to their conjunct with a House Lord, or, as due to the House they occupy.
17. If Rahu and/or Ketu are in Kendr, receiving a Aspect from, or in association with the Lord of a Kon, or of a Kendr, it will become Yoga Karak.
18. O Mahārśi Parashara, please narrate, according to the Rāśis rising, as to which Planet is a Yoga Karak and which is inauspicious.
19-22. Planets and Aries Lagna. O Brahmin, listen to these with examples. Even though Mars is the Lord of 8th House, he will be helpful to auspicious Planets. Saturn, Mercury and Venus are malefics. Auspicious are Jupiter and Sun. The mere Conjunct of Saturn with Jupiter will not produce auspicious effects (although they own a Kon and a Kendr). If Jupiter is at the disposal of a malefic, he will surely give inauspicious results. Venus is a direct (independent) killer. Saturn etc. will also inflict death, if associated with an adverse Planet (Venus).
23-24. Planets and Taurus Lagna. Jupiter, Venus and Moon are malefics. Saturn and Sun are auspicious. Saturn will cause Raja Yoga. Mercury is somewhat inauspicious. The Jupiter group (Jupiter, Moon and Venus) and Mars will inflict death.
25-26. Planets and Gemini Lagna. Mars, Jupiter and Sun are malefics, while Venus is the only auspicious Planet. The Conjunct of Jupiter with Saturn is similar to that for Aries Lagna. Moon is the prime killer, but it is dependant on her association.
27-28. Planets and Cancer Lagna. Venus and Mercury are malefics, Mars, Jupiter and Moon are auspicious. Mars is capable of conferring a full-fledged Yoga and giving auspicious effects. Saturn and Sun are killers and give effects, according to their associations.
29-30. Planets and Leo Lagna. Mercury, Venus and Saturn are malefics. Auspicious effects will be given by Mars, Jupiter and Sun. Jupiter’s Conjunct with Venus (though, respectively, Kon and Kendr Lords) will not produce auspicious results. Saturn and Moon are killers, who will give effects, according to their associations.
31-32. Planets and Virgo Lagna. Mars, Jupiter and Moon are malefics, while Mercury and Venus are auspicious. Venus Conjunct with Mercury will produce Yoga. Venus is a killer as well. Sun’s role will depend on his association.
33-34. Planets and Libra Lagna. Jupiter, Sun and Mars are malefics. Auspicious are Saturn and Mercury. Moon and Mercury will cause Raja Yoga. Mars is a killer. Jupiter and other malefics will also acquire a disposition to inflict death. Venus is neutral.
35-36. Planets and Scorpio Lagna. Venus, Mercury and Saturn are malefics. Jupiter and Moon are auspicious. Sun, as well as Moon are Yoga Karakas. Mars is neutral. Venus and other malefics acquire the quality of causing death.
37-38. Planets and Sagittarius Lagna. Only Venus is inauspicious. Mars and Sun are auspicious. Sun and Mercury are capable of conferring a Yoga. Saturn is a killer, Jupiter is neutral. Venus acquires killing powers.
39-40. Planets and Capricorn Lagna. Mars, Jupiter and Moon are malefics, Venus and Mercury are auspicious. Saturn will not be a killer on his own. Mars and other malefics will inflict death. Sun is neutral. Only Venus is capable of causing a superior Yoga.
41-42. Planets and Aquarius Lagna. Jupiter, Moon and Mars are malefics, while Venus and Saturn are auspicious. Venus is the only Planet, that causes Raja Yoga. Jupiter, Sun and Mars are killers. Mercury gives meddling effects.
43-44. Planets and Pisces House. Saturn, Venus, Sun and Mercury are malefics. Mars and Moon are auspicious. Mars and Jupiter will cause a Yoga. Though Mars is a killer, he will not kill the native (independently). Saturn and Mercury are killers.
45-46. General. Thus the auspicious and inauspicious effects, derivable through the Planets, due to their lordship, according to the rising Rāśi, have to be estimated. Apart the effects, due to Nabhash Yogas etc., should also be known, which I narrate, as under.
Ch. 35. Nabhash Yogas
1-2. O excellent of the Brahmins, explained below are 32 Nabhash Yogas, which have a total of 1800 different v6theties. These consist of 3 Asraya Yogas, 2 Dala Yogas, 20 Akriti Yogas and 7 Sankhya Yogas.
3-6. Names of Nabhash Yogas. The 3 Asraya Yogas are Rajju, Musala and Nala Yogas. The 2 Dala Yogas are Maal and Sarpa. The 20 Akriti Yogas are Gada, Sakat, Shringatak, Vihag, Hal, Vajr, Kamal, Vapi, Yup, Shar, Shakti, Danda, Nisk, Koot, Chatr, 2ndushi (Chap), Ardh, Moon, Chakra and Samudr Yogas. The 7 Sankhya Yogas are Vallaki, Daam, Paash, Kedara, Sool, Yuga and Gola Yogas. Thus these are 32 in total.
7. Rajju, Musala and Nala Yogas. All the Planets in Movable Rāśis cause Rajju Yoga. All the Planets in Fixed Rāśis cause Musala Yoga. All the Planets in Dual Rāśis cause Nala Yoga.
8. Maal and Sarpa Yogas. If 3 Kendras are occupied by benefics, Maal Yoga is produced, while malefics so placed will cause Bhujang, or Sarpa Yoga. These Yogas, respectively, produce benefic and malefic results.
9-11. Gada, Sakata, Vihaga, Shringataka, Hala, Vajra and Yava Yogas. If all the Planets occupy two successive Kendras, Gada Yoga is formed. Sakata Yoga occurs, when all the Planets are disposed in Lagna and 7th House. If all confine to 4th and 10th House, then Vihaga Yoga occurs. All Planets in Lagna, 5th and 9th House cause Shringataka Yoga, while all Planets in 2nd, 6th and 10th House, or in 3rd, 7th and 11th House, or in 4th, 8th and 12th House cause Hala Yoga. Vajra Yoga is caused by all benefics in Lagna and 7th House, or all malefics in 4th and 10th House. In a contrary situation, i.e. all benefics in 4th and 10th House, or all malefics in Lagna and 7th House, Yava Yoga is generated.12. Kamala and Vapi Yogas. If all the Planets are in the 4 Kendras, Kamala Yoga is produced. If all of them happen to be in all the Apoklimas, or in all the Panapharas, Vapi Yoga occurs.

Quoted from Saravali. If the seven Planets occupy continuously seven Houses, commencing from a House, which is not angular to the Lagnaa, the Yoga produced is known, as Ardh Chandra Yoga.
15. Chakra and Samudr Yogas. If all the Planets occupy six alternative Rāśis, commencing from Lagna, Chakra Yoga is formed. Samudr Yoga is produced, if all Planets occupy six alternative Rāśis, commencing from 2nd House.
