31. Should the 7th House and the Trines be occupied by malefics, the delivery is not without trouble. Benefics in 10th and 4th cause easy delivery in a large room apart from giving wealth.
32-33. The following lead to birth outside wedlock: Moon, or Lagna sans Jupiter’s aspect; Luminaries being together without Jupiter’s aspect; Luminaries along with malefics not receiving the aspect of Jupiter; Sun, Moon and Jupiter simultaneously in fall, while Saturn is in Lagna and Lagna, Moon and Venus not being in aspect to Jupiter.
34-36. If the Moon is in 4th, or 7th along with malefics, it is evil to mother. The native’s mother dies (immediately after delivery), if there are malefics in 7th from Moon and aspected by Mars. Sun in 10th from the Moon along with malefics indicate death of the mother. The same effect prevails, if Sun is in 5th, or 9th from Venus (?) and with Saturn’s company, or aspect. If birth takes place during night-time, while Saturn occupies 5th, or 9th from the Moon, the mother soon leaves the world. For a day birth, if Mars is 5th, or 9th from Venus and aspected by malefics, the mother dies (early).
37-40. If Mars and Saturn join in 5th, or 9th from Ascendant, while the Moon is in 7th, the child is forsaken by the mother. Jupiter’s aspect in that case bestows happiness and long life. The child given up dies, if the Moon is in Lagna and Mars in 7th in aspect to malefics. Mars and Saturn in 11th bring similar effects. Should a benefic aspect such combinations, the child is rescued by the respective relative. Both malefics and benefics aspecting indicate death in the hands of others. Saturn and Mars joining in the same Ańśa indicate, that the child will be forsaken by the mother. Mars in 7th from the Ascendant in aspect to Saturn produces similar effects.
41. The child acquires the qualities corresponding to the benefic’s aspects. Should the Sun be strong, it resembles the father. If the Moon be so, resemblance is that of the mother.
42. When Leo, Aries, or Taurus rises with Mars, or Saturn, there will be coil around the limb, as indicated by the Navāńśa Lagna Rāśi.
43-44. If the Lagna falls in a decanate of Mars, or Saturn, while malefics, or Moon occupy Lagna, with benefics relegated to 2nd, or 11th denote, that the child was born with navel cord coiled around. Should the Sun be in a Quadruped Sign, while others with strength remain in Dual Signs, it indicates, that twins were born coiled by same navel cord.
45-46. The physical appearance will correspond to the Navāńśa Lagna, or the strongest of planets. It may also correspond to the Lord of the Navāńśa occupied by the Moon. If many are strong, appearance and complexion will be mixed. Race, caste and country of birth should be considered, while estimating features and character of a person.
47. Sages say, that the nature of the native will correspond to the Trimsāńśa occupied by the Sun at birth.
48. Other information must be understood according to the friendship, enmity and debilitation, exaltation, or placement in between of the planets at birth.
49. If weak Moon be with malefics, mother’s death takes place, while the Sun being so causes father’s death. These planets indicate sickness (to the concerned parent), if aspected by both benefics and malefics. Benefics, however, cause auspiciousness.
50. The Moon, being bright, if be in her exaltation Rāśi, or in her own Rāśi along with Jupiter and Venus in aspect to Mercury, or the Moon in 5th is capable of giving extreme auspiciousness in respect of the native’s mother. The Sun so placed proves auspicious for father.
Thus ends the 9th Ch. entitled Janma Vidhanādhyāya of Kalyana Varma’s SARAVALI
Ch. 10. Evils at Birth
1. In the absence of knowledge of longevity, attempts to know other information are futile. So I explain below Arishtas (evils) in order to determine longevity.
2. Male planets are strong in odd Rāśis, bright lunar half and day-time. Female planets are strong in even Rāśis, dark lunar half and night-time.
3. There are three kinds of evils, explained by astrological expounders. These are preordained, accidental and Yogaja (arising of planetary combinations). The third kind is dealt with below, while others are explained later on.
4. Should Jupiter be in 8th and in a House of Mars and aspected by Sun, Moon, Mars and Saturn, the child dies in 3 years.
5. If Saturn is retrograde in a House of Mars, while Moon is in 6th, 8th, or an Angle and aspect Mars, the child born lives for two years.
6-7. If Saturn joins Sun and Moon at birth, the life-span is only nine years, according to Brahmasaunda. Should Mars, Sun and Saturn be in Taurus identical with 8th, the native lives for one month even though Lord Yama may try to save him.
8-9. Even, if there be a single malefic in 8th House, owned by Venus and aspected by other malefics, the native lives for one year only in spite of the fact, that he may drink nectar. If Venus is in 12th, 6th, or 8th, owned by Sun, or Moon and is aspected by all benefics, the life-span is six years.
10-11. If Mercury occupies Cancer identical with 6th, or 8th from Ascendant and is aspected by the Moon, life is only up to 4. The efficacious Raja Yogas expounded by Yavanas may produce persons of high descent. Even such children are subject to premature end in this case.
12-13. If the birth star is identical with the one, in which Ketu rises, the native lives only for two months. Should the Sun be in 10th House identical with that of Mars, or Saturn and aspected by strong malefic, the native faces immediate death.
