ADHYAYA 2-PADA 2
SU. 1.-Ravisukrayoh pranee janakaha. Out of Venus and the Sun, the stronger will become the maraka for father.
NOTES In the previous section Jaimini has explained about the Maraka Dasa for a person, when he would die, and which Dasa and Amsa Dasa would kill him. I must confess here in spite of the elaborate explanations offered for the fixing of the period of death, the system seems to be complicated and cannot easily be grasped by the ordinary students. Even intelligent students will have to pour long hours, and much devotion to understand these complicated principles and fix correctly the time of death. For determining the terms of longevity, the other systems are no doubt hard and laborious, but it may be, they are simpler than the one illustrated by the Maharishi in his inimitable sutras, which cannot easily be deciphered by common men. In this section rules are given to find out the deaths of father, mother and other important relations. A man’s comforts and peace of mind and happiness in the world depend greatly upon his relations, his friends and his servants. When these are inimicable, the man certainly becomes. miserable. Ravi and Sukra represent father in a horoscope. The stronger of the two will cause the death of father. in general astrology Ravi and Chandra represent father and mother respectively. Varahamihira says Divarkasukrau pitrumatrusamgnitou sanaischarayndu nisftadwiparyayat. For persons born during the day, Ravi and Sukra represent father and mother respectively. For those who are born during nights Chandra. and Sani denote father and mother respectively.
