47. Avasthas Of Planets:

अवस्थावशतः प्रोक्तं ग्रहाणां यत् फलं मुने ! ।
का साऽवस्था मुनिश्रेष्ठ! कतिधा चेति कथ्यताम् ! ॥ १ ॥

1. O Muni, (Muni, a deep thinker) you have spoken of the planetary effects as depending upon the avasthas. O Muni Shrestha (excellent of the Munis) now kindly tell me what those avasthas are and of how many kinds they are.

अवस्था विविधाः सन्ति ग्रहाणां द्विजसत्तम! ।
सारभूताश्च यास्तासु बालाद्यास्ता वदाम्यहम् ॥ २ ॥

2. O excellent of the Brahmins, there are many kinds of avasthas of the planets. I tell you of those out of them that are merely the summary and whose names are Baalavastha etc.

क्रमाद् बाल: कुमारोऽथ युवा वृद्धास्तथा मृतः ।
षडंशैरसमे खेटः समे ज्ञेयो विपर्ययात् ॥ ३ ॥

3. Baala, Kumara, Yuva, Vridha and Mrita (infant, youthful, adolescent, advanced and deceased) are the states of planets in Ascending order in odd signs. Each of them is of 6 degrees. This placement should be known in reverse order in the case of even signs.

फलं पादमितं बाले, फलार्धं च कुमारके ।
यूनि पूर्णं फलं ज्ञेयं वृद्धे किञ्चित् मृते च खम् ॥ ४ ॥

4. *RESULTS:*The results of these should be known in this way: one fourth in Baalavastha, half in Kumaravastha, full in Yuvavastha, very little in Vridhavastha and nil in Mritavastha.

स्वभोच्चयोः समसुहृद्धयोः शत्रुभनीचयोः ।
जाग्रत्स्वप्नसुषुप्त्याख्या अवस्था नामदृक्फलाः ॥ ५ ॥

5. AWAKENING, DREAMING AND SLEEPING STATES : When a planet is in his own or exaltation sign, he is said to be in awakening state; in the friend's or neutral's sign, in dreaming state and, in the enemy's or debilitation sign, in sleeping state. The results of these are according to their names.

जागरे च फलं पूर्णं स्वप्ने मध्यफलं तथा ।
सुषुप्तौ तु फलं शून्यं विज्ञेयं द्विजसत्तम! ॥ ६ ॥

6. O excellent of the Brahmins, the results of these states are to be known as full, medium and nil respectively in the awakening, dreaming and sleeping states.

दीप्तः स्वस्थः प्रमुदितः शान्तो दीनोऽथ दुःखितः ।
विकलश्च खलः कोऽपीत्यवस्था नवधाऽपराः ॥ ७ ॥

7. OTHER KINDS OF STATES: Deepta, swastha, pramudita, shanta, Deena, Dukhita, Vikala, Khala and Kopa, these are other nine kinds of states of the planets.

स्वोच्चस्थः खेचरो दीप्तः स्वर्क्षे स्वस्थोऽधिमित्रभे ।
मुदितो मित्रभे शान्तः समभे दीन उच्यते ॥ ८ ॥

शुत्रभे दुःखितः प्रोक्तो विकलः पापसंयुतः ।
खलः खलगृहे ज्ञेयः कोपी स्यादर्कसंयुतः ॥ ९ ॥

यादृशो जन्मकाले यः खेटो यद्भावगो भवेत् ।
तादृशं तस्य भावस्य फलमुह्यं द्विजोत्तम ! ॥ १० ॥

8-10. When a planet is in his exaltation sign he is in the Deeptavastha, in his own sign swasthavastha, in extreme friend's sign Pramuditavastha, in friend's sign shantavastha, in neutral's sign Deenavastha, in enemy's sign Dukhitavastha; in conjunction with a malefic planet vikalavastha; in inauspicious sign khalavastha and; in conjunction with the Sun kopavastha. O excellent of the Brahmins, the results of the planet should be known according to -in what state he is at the time of birth and in which sign he is placed.

लज्जितो गर्वितश्चैव क्षुधितस्तृषितस्तथा ।
मुदितः क्षोभितश्चैव ग्रहभावा: प्रकीर्तिताः ॥ ११ ॥

पुत्रगेहगतः खेटो राहुकेतुयुतोऽथवा ।
रविमन्दकुजैर्युक्तो लज्जितो ग्रह उच्यते ॥ १२ ॥

तुङ्गस्थानगतो वाऽपि त्रिकोणेऽपि भवेत्पुनः ।
गर्वितः सोऽपि गदितो निर्विशंकं द्विजोत्तम ! ॥ १३ ॥

शत्रुगेही शत्रुयुक्तो रिपुदृष्टो भवेद्यदि ।
क्षुधितः स च विज्ञेयः शनियुक्तो यथा तथा ॥ १४ ॥

जलराशौ स्थितः खेट: शत्रुणा चाऽवलोकितः ।
शुभग्रहा न पश्यन्ति तृषितः स उदाहृतः ॥ १५ ॥

मित्रगेही मित्रयुक्तो मित्रेण च विलोकितः ।
गुरुणा सहितो यश्च मुदितः स प्रकीर्तितः ॥ १६ ॥

रविणा स1 हितो यश्च पापा पश्यन्ति सर्वथा ।
क्षोभितं तं विजानीयाच्छत्रुणा यदि वीक्षितः ॥ १७ ॥

येषु येषु च भावेषु ग्रहास्तिष्ठन्ति सर्वथा ।
क्षुधितः क्षोभितो वापि तद्भावफलनाशनः ॥ १८ ॥

11-18. *YET OTHER AVASTHAS:*Lajjita, Garvita, Kshudhita, Trashita, Mudita and Kshobhita, these 6 are said to be the other states of the planets. If the planet is situated in the 5th House and in conjunction with Rahu and Ketu or he is in conjunction with either Saturn or Mars it is called his Lajjitavastha.

O excellent of the Brahmins, if a planet is in his exaltation sign or MooltriKona Sign then his state should be understood without any doubt to be the Garvitastha. If he is in an enemy's sign, is in conjunction with an enemy has the aspect of an enemy then he is in the Kshudhitavastha. This state also exists when he is in conjunction with Saturn. The planet in a watery sign, aspected by an enemy planet and devoid of the aspect of a benefic, he is said to be trashita or in Trashitavastha. If he is in his friend's sign or in conjunction with or aspected by a friendly planet and also in conjunction with Jupiter he is said to be in Muditavastha. The planet who is in conjunction with the Sun and is aspected by malefics and also by his enemy is called in his Kshobhitavastha. The effects of those houses in which the Kshudhita and Kshobhita planets are gone are destroyed.

एवं क्रमेण बोद्धव्यं सर्वभावेषु पण्डितैः ।
बालऽबलविचारेण वक्तव्यः फलनिर्णयः ॥ १९ ॥

अन्योन्यं च मुदा युक्तं फलं मिश्रं वदेत्पुनः ।
बलहीने तदा हानिः सबले महाफलम् ॥ २० ॥

कर्मस्थाने स्थितो यस्य लज्जितस्तृषितस्तथा ।
क्षुघितः क्षोभितो वापि स नरो दुःखभाजनम् ॥ २१ ॥

सुतस्थाने भवेद्यस्य लज्जितो ग्रह एव च ।
सुतनाशो भवेत्तस्य एकस्तिष्ठति सर्वदा ॥ २२ ॥

क्षोभितस्तृषितश्चैव सप्तमे यस्य वा भवेत् ।
प्रियते तस्य नारी च सत्यमाहुर्द्विजोत्तम ! ॥ २३ ॥

19-23. In this way the learned should know the avasthas of the planets in all the Houses. It is then that, after considering the strength and weakness of the planets, they should estimate and state the effects. Then they should tell mixed results of the House in which there are planets that are in mutually Muditavastha. The planets being bereft of strength there will be reduction of effects, they being strong there will be greater effects. The native in the 10th House of whose are situated planets that are Lajjita and Trashita or that are Kshudhita or Kshobhita, will be subjected to much misery. The native in the 5th House of whose horoscope thereis only a Lajjita planet will lose his son but he always has one son. And the native the 7th House of whose horoscope is occupied by Kshobhita and Trashita planets, O excellent of the Brahmins, I tell you truly, will lose his wife (at an early age).

नवालयारामसुखं नृपत्वं कलापटुत्वं विदधाति पुंसाम् ।

निजजनपरिवादादर्थहानि: कृशत्वं खलकृतपरितापो मानहानि: सदैव ॥ २९ ॥

24-29. This is the special effect of the planet in the Garvitavstha that the native will have happiness through new houses and gardens, regalhood, skill in arts, financial gains at all times and improvement in business. A planet being in the Mudiavastha the native will get residences, clothes, ornaments, happiness from land and wife, from relatives, living in royal palaces, destruction of enemies and acquisition of wisdom and learning. A planet in Lajjitavastha will give the native aversion to God, loss of intelligence, disease to his son, loitering, interest in evil speeches and listlessness in good things. Due to a planet who is in Kshobhitavastha the native will get acute penury, evil disposition, miseries, financial debacles, distress to feet and obstruction in income due to royal wrath. Due to the planet who is Kshudhita the native will have down fall due to grief and passion, grief on account of relatives, physical decline, troubles from enemies, financial distress, loss of physical strength and an eclipsed mind due to distress. The planet being Trashita, it will cause the native diseases through association with females, leaning over wicked deeds, loss of wealth due to disputes with his own men, physical weakness, miseries caused by the wicked and decline of honour.

30-37. Now I tell before you the planets' Nidra and Cheshta avasthas (sleeping and waking states) which are: Shayana, Upaveshana, Netrapani, Prakashana, Gamana, Agamana, Sabhavastha Agama, Bhojana, Nrityalipsa, Kautuka and Nidra. The serial number of the Nakshtra (star) in which the planet is situated is to be muliplied by the serial number of the planet; the product is to be multiplied by the number of the Navamsha and in the product are to be added the number of the Nakshtra(star) at the time of birth, of the Ishtaghati, and of the sign in the Ascendant. The resultant so arrived at is to be divided by 12 and the remainder should be understood as the number of the avastha of the planet in order. In order to know the cheshta in that avastha, the above remainder (or the serial number of the Avastha) is to be multiplied by the remainder itself. In the product is to be added the number of the first letter of the name and then it is to be divided by 12. The remainder thereof is to be added with the constant planetary additaments such as 5 of the Sun,2,2,3,5,3,3,4,4 of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu respectively and then the figure so arrived at is to be divided by 3. If the remainder is 1,2 and 0 it is Drishti, cheshta and vicheshta respectively.

1. The number of the Nakstra (star) in which the planet is situated at the time of birth. This number is to be known by beginning from Ashwini Nakshtra and the Nakshtra will be taken of that planet whose Avastha is to be found out.

2. The number of the planet. It will begin from the Sun. Thus, it will be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu respectively.

3. The Navamsha number of the planet. The Navamshas are 9 in number. If the planet is in a sign upto 3°-20' he will be in the first Navamsha and it will be the first number Navamsha. The number of the other 8 Navamshas will be found out by adding 30-20 in the degrees etc. of the Ist Navamsha each time such as 30.20 +3° 20'= 6°.40', 6° 40' +3° 20' = 10 and so on.

4. The number of the Nakshtra at the time of birth. The Nakshtra in which the Moon is situated at the time of birth is called the Janama Nakshtra (birth Star). The number of the Nakshta beginning from the Ashwini Nakshtra will be the number of the Janama Nakshtra at the time of birth.

5. The Ishta ghati of the time of birth. The difference between the sunrise and the time of birth is to be multiplied by 2 1/2 will give the Ishta ghati. If there is vighati also in the figure arrived at the number of the ghati should be increased by one.

6. The number of the Ascendant. It is known by seeing the number of signs beginning from Aries.

The figures arrived at by 1,2 and 3 are to be multiplied by each other and the figures arrived at by 4,5 and 6 are to be added together. The two figures (the product of 1, 2 and 3 and summation of 4; 5 and 6) are further added and divided by 12. The remainder will be the number of the Avasthas beginning with shayana etc of the planets, that is, it will be the Avastha of the planet.

The formula will be as follows:

The number of Nakshtra of the planet X the serial number of planet X the number of planet Navamsha = Product of the 3 Janama Nakshtra number + Ishta ghati + the number of the Ascendant sign Summation of the 3

Then the Product + the Summation12

The remainder will be the Avastha of the planet.

Suppose the remainder is 1, then it will be the shayanavastha, if it is 2 it will be upaveshana and so on. If the remainder is zero, it will be Nidravastha..

In order to find out the cheshta of the Avastha the following things will be required.

1. The remainder, that is, the serial no. of Avasthas arrived at in the above way.

2. The figure which has been determined as the first letter of the native's name, the number of the letter.

The value of these figure is as follows:

3. Planetary additaments of the planets. These have been described in the above slokas and are given in the following table.

In order to know the cheshta of the Avastha, the above three things are used in the following way

Then

that is, the number of the planet's Avastha is multiplied by the same number and to the product is added the number of the first letter of the native's name and the figure so arrived at is divided by 12 and the remainder is found. To this remainder is added the planetary additament and the summation is divided by 3. The remainder will be the serial number of the cheshta.

तुङ्गस्थाने विशेषेण बलं ज्ञेयं तथा बुधैः ॥ ३९ ॥

38-39. *EFFECTS OF THE CHESHTA ETC। :*The results of the Drishti cheshta will be medium, of cheshta full and of vicheshta negligible. The learned, having known the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness and the strength and weakness of the planets, should predict about the effect of the planet and the effect of the planet in his sign of exaltation should be told as pronounced.

नित्यं तस्य शुभज्ञानं निर्विशंकं वदेत् बुधः ॥ १४७ ॥

147. GENERAL EFFECTS : O Brahmin, if benefic planets are in Shayanavastha the learned astrologers should tell without doubt that their effects will always be auspicious.

भोजने येषु भावेषु पापास्तिष्ठन्ति सर्वथा ।
तदा सर्वविनाशेऽपि नाऽत्र काया विचारणा ॥ १४८ ॥

148. If malefics are there in Bhojanavastha, there is no need of any second thought that all the effects (related to the houses in which these malefics are) will be certainly destroyed.

निद्रायां च यदा पापो जायास्थाने शुभं वदेत् ।
यदि पापग्रहैर्दृष्टो न शुभं च कदाचन ॥ १४९ ॥

149. If in the 7th House a malefic is in the Nidravastha, the effects should be predicted as auspicious provided that he does not receive aspect from another malefic.

सुतस्थाने स्थितः पापो निद्रायां शयनेऽपि वा ।
तदा शुभं भवेत्तस्य नाऽत्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ १५० ॥

150. If in the 5th House there is the Nidra or Shayanavastha of a malefic planet, there need not be a second thought that auspicious effects will follow.

कर्मस्थाने यदा पापः शयने भोजनेऽपि वा ।

153. If in the 10th House there is a malefic planet in the Shayanavastha or in the Bhojanavastha, the native will face many miseries on account of his own deeds.

दशमस्थो निशानाथ: कौतुके च प्रकाशने ।
तदैव राजयोगः स्यान्निर्विशकं द्विजोत्तम ॥ १५४ ॥

154. O exellent of the Brahmins, if in the 10th House there is Nishanatha or the Moon, the lord of the night in the Kautukavastha or the Prakashavastha, then it should be predicted without doubt that there will be Raja yoga.

एवं क्रमेण बोद्धव्यं सर्वाभावेषु बुद्धिमन् ! ॥ १५५ ॥

Notes :- There is the description of the various avasthas (states) of the planets. Maharisi Parasara has analysed the methods of knowing these avasthas and effects which they have on the life of the native. The effects of these avasthas are not of much importance. The important thing is that before considering the effects of a yoya (combination), conjunction or relation of planets there should be a proper consideration of these avasthas also. The effects are to be predicted along with the consideration of these avasthas: Thus, first of all we consider about the 5 avasthas: Baalavastha, Yuvavastha, Kumaravastha etc. Now, suppose some yoga Karaka planet makes relation with some other yoga karaka planet and is situated in an auspicious house, it is quite certain that it is an auspicious relation. Both planets are in their Yuvavastha. So they will certainly give good effects. But if they had been in the Vridhavastha, the native would have got the effects in negligible measure and the effects would have been nil if they had been in the Mritavastha. Then, if these planets are in the waking state, they will have the full effects of this state or avastha also. But the sleeping state or Susupti Avastha will not be beneficial to them.. The Mritavastha, the state in extremis, will keep the efffects as perfectly sound.

Another classification of states is based on other things. The states or Avasthas may be Deepta, Swastha, Pramudita, etc. Among these, the Deepta, Swastha, or Pramudita will be beneficial for these yoga karaka planets. The effects will be reduced in other Avasthas; Besides these there are six other states Lajjita etc. These states also need consideration. Among these, the most beneficial states are Garvita and Mudita Avasthas, And lastly, there are 12 other Avasthas, which are arrived at through calculation. The most important thing about these states is the cheshtas of them which are in their turn of 3 kinds. Drishti, Cheshta and Vicheshta. These cheshtas give us the degree or amount of the effects given by the Avasthas. They tell us whether the effect of a given Avastha will be full, medium or very little. The consideration of these cheshtas makes, the task of the Astrologer easier. Therefore, the effects giving power of the planets should be considered in the context of these 12 Avasthas and also the cheshtas in them. These Avasthas give different effects in different planets. Thus the Netrapani Avastha of the Sun gives the native happiness, endows him with thinking power, physical strength, wealth, governmental favour while the same Avastha in the case of the Moon will completely destroy the native's health, make him interested in doing vicious and sinful deeds. Therefore the planets should also be considered along with the Avastha.

Some times Avasthas have to be considered in the context of signs and Houses. Besides these, the aspects of the planets, their conjunctions also need consideration while determining the effects of the yoga karaka planets.

Maharisi Parasara has explained in other chapters as to how the situations of the planets, their exaltation or debilitation, their vargas etc determine the various incidents, losses, gains, diseases death etc. The consideration of all these may also bring certainty in prediction. Thus in sloka 37 of Jayabhavaphaladhay Parasara says. "If Rahu is there in the 2nd House and Mars in the 7th one, the native's wife will die by snake bite on the day of his marriage or on the 3rd day from the day of marriage". And in sloka 23 of the present Chapter, Parasara says: "If there is in the 7th House, a Kshobhita or Trashita planet, the native's wife will die. Now this prediction can be made with certainty only if Mars in the 7th House is in his Kshobhita or Trashita Avastha and Rahu in the 2nd House is in the Bhojanavastha. The Sage has told the effect of Rahu in the Bhojanavastha to be depriving the native of the happiness of sons and wife. The effect of deprivation of wife and sons is caused by different planets in different Avasthas. Thus, the Sun causes it in his Nidravastha, Mercury in Bhojanavastha, Venus in Agamavastha, Saturn in Agamanavastha. Parasara has nowhere laid down that a particular planet in a particular house will cause the loss of the native's wife and sons. It is the Avasthas that are the factors in causing this loss.

If in the Horoscope of a would be bridegroom, in the 7th House there is Mars and in the 2nd Rahu, it should be seen before the marriage whether in the horoscope of the would be bride Ketu is not in the Netrapani Avastha. As in the Netrapani Avastha the native has fear from snakes. In this condition his wife will have fear from snakes and certainly die immediately after marriage.

On the other hand in the same combination (Mars in the 7th and Rahu in the 2nd House) if Mars be in his Kautukavastha or Muditavastha and Rahu be in the Nidravastha, the death on the day of marriage or three days after the day of marriage may not occur. Venus also will not allow this effect in his auspicious avastha because the effects of these planets have been said to be beneficial. Therefore, Avasthas should be considered while making predictions.
