lagneśāt kārakāccāpi dhane turyeca pañcame śubhakheṭayute bhāve jāto rājā bhaveddruvam
Translation: If benefic planets are placed in 2nd, 4th, and 5th house from either lord of Lagna 5 or the Karaka (Atmakaraka ), the native becomes a king for sure. But, another available version of BHPS of Sridhara’s Sanskrit commentary gives a slightly different first pada (line) of the verse as follows.
् बृहत पराशर होरासारांशः(ौीधर संृत ा) bṛhat parāśara horāsārāṁśaḥ (śrīdhara saṁskṛta vyākhya)
् ननाथात धन ् े तयु च पमे लाधीशात ू
lagnādhīśāt dyūnanāthāt dhane turyeca pañcame
Translation: If benefic planets are placed in 2nd, 4th, and 5th house from either lord of Lagna or the lord of 7th house, the native becomes a king for sure. So, if we combine those two versions of BPHS, then it will be in tune with the first part of the yoga in Jaimini sutras, that to reckon this yoga either from AK, lord of lagna or lord of 7th house.

Krishna Mishra – Jyotisha Phalaratnamala:
Krishna Mishra listed this yoga in 9th chapter of his Phalaratnamala. He mentioned both variations of Manipravala yogas (he didn’t call them Manipravala yoga, though) and gives slightly different starting point. He wants us to reckon the yoga either from Yogada, or 6 Vilagna . If the yoga doesn’t occur from the above reference, then the yoga can be reckoned from Moon also. It should be understood that Phalaratnamala is not a simple commentary but a complete Magnum Opus of Jaimini system.

Somanatha Misra - Kalpalatha:
Somanatha Mishra, in 3rd pada of his Kalpalatha commentary, listed both of these yogas very lucidly and gives much importance to the MP2, saying that MP2 will result in Maharaja Yoga, where as the MP1 makes the native a king of a state. He wants us to reckon this yoga from Karaka. He didn’t mention lagna lord or 7th lord, but Karaka can, broadly, be known as lord of lagna.

Ragahava Bhatta – Jataka Sara Sangrahah:
Karaka, in general, means Atmakaraka only, which is in line with Jaimini

Please refer to ‘True Jaimini Navamsa’ article by this scribe – 1st Annual issue of Saptarishis Astrology Feb 2009 for definition of Yogada and Vilagna. Krishna Mishra gives utmost importance to Yogada planet, sometimes than Atmakaraka, which is very radical. 320
