9-12. After assessing the 20 point strength of the ascending degree, of other Bhavas and of the Graha, the good and bad effects be declared. I explain below the method of knowing the Vimsopak strength (20 point strength), just by knowing which an idea of the results of actions of this birth and of former birth will clearly emerge. The Grahas from Sūrya on get full strength when in exaltation or in own Rāśi, and are bereft of strength when in the 7th (from exaltation). In between, the strength can be known by the rule of three process. In the case of a Graha owning two Rāśis, distinction of placement in odd/even Rāśi identical with own Rāśi be made.

 

 

 

 

 

26-27. Proportional Vimṣopak Evaluation: Multiply the figure due to full strength for the division by the Varga Vishwa and divide by 20 to get the exact strength of the Graha. If the total is below 5, the Graha will not be capable of giving auspicious results. If it is above 5, but below 10, the Graha will yield some good effects. Later on up to 15 it is indicative of mediocre effect. A Graha with above 15 will yield wholly favorable effects.

 

30-32. Effects of Vimṣopak Bāla on Daśā: Maitreya, after assessing the Vimṣopak Bāla through the various divisions, the rising and setting of the Graha should be considered. The Vimṣopak Bāla is classified under Purna, AtiPurna, Madhya, AtiMadhya, Heen, AtiHeen, Swalpa and AtiSwalpa. Thus should be classified the Vimṣopak Bāla and the Daśā period results declared accordingly.

 

33-36. Kendras, Konas etc. defined: O Maitreya, listen to other matters, which I am explaining. The Kendras are specially known as Lagna (the ascendent), Bandhu Bhava (nadir), Yuvati Bhava (the descendant) and Karma Bhava (mid-heaven). Dhana, Putra, Randhra and Labha Bhava are Panapharas (succedents), while Sahaja, Ari, Dharma and Vyaya Bhava are called Apoklimas (cadents). Putra and Dharma Bhava are known by the name Kona (or trine). Evil or Duṣṭāna Bhavas are Ari, Randhra and Vyaya Bhava. Caturasras are Bandhu and Randhra Bhava. Sahaja, Ari, Karma and Labha Bhava are Upacaya Bhavas.

 

39-43. Indications from Bhavas: Dharma Bhava and the 9th from Sūrya deal with one's father. Whatever effects are to be known from the Karma and Labha Bhava, be also known from similar Bhavas, counted from Sūrya. Whatever results are to be known from Bandhu, Tanu, Dhana, Labha and Dharma should also be known from the 4th of Candra, from Karkaṭa Rāśi itself and from the 2nd, 11th and 9th from Candra, respectively. Whatever has to be known through Sahaja Bhava, be also analyzed through the 3rd from Maṅgal.
