Introduction
Sage Jaimini in his Upadesa Sutras 1 expounded very important rajayogas in the 3rd pada of 1st chapter. Apart from discussing rajayogas and dhana (wealth) yogas, he gave very specific yoga that makes a King. In fact, all Jaimini Rajayogas are very concise and easy to apply and hard to fail, once we understand the correct implication of the yoga.
Rao, is 30 years, a graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering, works in a scientific organization of Indian Govt. He started his study of Astrology when he was 22 years old and though not traditionally trained; he is very fond of the wonderful system of Jaimini and learns it from his Guru, the living Legend of Jaimini Astrology Sri Iranganti Rangacharya. He is now working on ancient commentaries on Jaimini and writes some of his musings on Jaimini system at his personal blog. http://sutramritam.blogspot.com.
This paper deals with such a very potent rajayoga called “Manipravala Rajayoga”. This yoga is very important Prabhu yoga since the sage dealt Amatya (minister) Yoga and Senadhipati (Commander-inChief) Yoga in the ensuing sutras right after this. “Mani” means the Gem and the “Pravala” means the cowry or marine shell. So this yoga forms by placement of benefic (Gem) and a malefic (Shell) in a particular sequence.

Rajayogas mean Combinations that give life like a king, which in modern context should be treated as comfort & authority positions. 316
