ADHYAYA 1 – PADA 4
SU. 1.- Upapadam padam pitraitucharat. Take the 12th house from Lagna. Find out – its Pada Lagna or Arudha Lagna. This becomes upapada.
NOTES For ordinary Pada we take the lord of Lagna and we count again the same number of Rasis from him as he has advanced from Lagna and this becomes Pada or Arudha Lagna. For Upapada we have to take from the lord of the 12th from Lagna and count again that number of Rasis from the position of its lord and the sign which falls in that number will be Upapada. The meaning will not be clear unless I give one or two examples: Vrishabha is Lagna. Its lord Sukra joins Dhanus the 8th from Lagna. Counting again the 8th from Sukra we get Kataka and this is called Pada or Arudha Lagna (see Sutra 29 of Pada 1 ). Now we have to find Upapada. Take the lord of the 12th from Lagna. The 12th from Lagna is Mesha. Its lord is Kuja and he is found in the 7th from it. The seventh from him is again Mesha and in this horoscope Arudha Lagna falls in Kataka and it goes under the name of Pada. The Upapada will fall in Mesha, and the results in this chapter will be predicted with reference to Upapada.
Take another horoscope. Here calculate the Pada and the Upapada Lagnas. The lord of Lagna is Sani and he is in the 4th from Lagna. The fourth from him or Simha will be Arudha or Pada Lagna. Now calculate the Upapada Lagna. Take the 12th from Lagna. This falls in Makara. Its lord is Sani. He is in the 5th house from it or Vrishabha. Now take the 5th from him, it will fall in Kanya. For this person Pada Lagna falls in Simha and Upapada falls in Kanya. Take another example. In this horoscope the lord of Lagna is Guru. He is in Mithuna or the 4th. Count from him to the 4th ; we see that it falls in Kanya. This will be the Pada Lagna for this native. Now take the 12th house from Lagna. This will be Kumbha. Its lord is Sani. He is found in the 4th from that house in Vrishabha. Count the 4th from him and it will be Simha and this will be his Upapada Lagna. All Lagnas and Bhavas have their Pada and Upapada and Jaimini seems to pay great attention to Atmakarakamsa, Pada Lagna and Upapada Lagna.
Some commentators say-Upapadam Labhaditi. This means-take the 7th from Lagna and find out the Arudha from it. This becomes the Upapada Lagna Take the horoscope given below. Labha means. – La 3, Bha 4 – 34, reversed it becomes 43, divided by 12, we get a remainder of 7, and therefore the 7th house is meant by this sutra. The 7th from Lagna becomes Kanya (see chart on p.109). Its lord Budha occupies the 6th house from it in Kumbha. The 6th from Kumbha is Kataka. Therefore for this horoscope the Upapada becomes Kataka according to this sutra. Thus in this horoscope according to one theory Upapada becomes Simha and according to the tatter upapada becomes Kataka. This makes a great deal of difference. I have indicated the differences and Ieave the readers to follow their own judgement; experience and personal reading.
SU. 2. – Tatra papasya papayoge pravrajya daranasova. If the upapada has evil conjunction or aspect or if the 2nd from it has an evil planet, the wife will die or he will embrace pravrajya or sanyasa or asceticism.
NOTES Brihaspathi is quoted here. If there is a malefic planet in the Arudha Lagna from the 7th or Jamitra or an evil planet in the 7th or 2nd or Rahu is found in the 9th, the wife of the person will be destroyed.
SU. 3.- Upapadasyapyarudhatwadeva natra ravihi papaha. If the second from the Upapada is occupied by Ravi he does not become a malefic. .
NOTES Somehow all astrological writers have classified Ravi as an evil planet. Jaimini says that Ravi is not an evil planet when he is in the 2nd house from Upapada.
SU. 4.-Shzubhadrigyoganna. If, in the above combinations in Sutras 2 and 3 there are beneficial aspects or conjunctions, the evil results should not be predicted.
NOTES It means that his wife will not die or he will not take sanyasa. The wife must die some day or other. What is meant here is that during those evil times indicated by the planets death will not happen.
SU. 5. -Neeche daranasaha. If the 2nd from upapada falls in Neechamsa or has the conjunction of a Neecha or debilitated planet there will surely be death to wife in that evil period.
SU. 6. – Ucchey bahudaraha. If, in the 2nd from upapada there is an exalted planet or the second falls in an exalted Navamsa the person will have many wives.
NOTES I do dot know if many wives add pleasure or misery to a person. His lust may be satisfied but he will be miserable. I-t is a question to be solved by each man for himself.
SU. 7.-=Yugme cha. . – If the 2nd from upapada falls in Mithuna, the person will have many wives.
SU. 8.-Tatra swamiyukte swarkshe va tadhhetazittnrayushi nirdaraha. If the 2nd from upapada is combined by the Atmakaraka or by the lord of that 2nd sign, the person will have no wife in the latter part of his life.
NOTES Here the conjunction of its lord seems to act prejudicially. .
SU. 9.- Ucche thasmin,nuttamakuladdrira labhaha. . If the lord of the 2nd from upapada is found in exaltation his wife will come from a respectable family.
NOTES Family traditions and previous histories have great influence in social circles. .
SU. 10. – Neeche viparyayaha. If the lord of the second from the upapada joins a debilitated sign, the case will be reversed.
NOTES It means the wife will come from a despicable or mean family. Social stigmas are often unpleasant.
