Preface
I
ndian Hindu population of LIG and HIG levels has such a blind faith in the efficacy of astrological advice before finalizing any marriage alliance that they would rush to any temple priest or an astrologer with faulty charts or without chart to know how many Koot points are in the Koot chart before finally stamping the alliance. If they do not have charts of the natives the astrologer asks the first letter of their names and then goes straight to the Koot charts.
When such ill advised marriages break, hell of problems invade both the families. (a) These days’ minimum marriage expenses on both sides are between 5 to 10 lakhs which they arrange through hard savings or loans. This money is lost forever. (b) When girls return to parental homes, many poor and sensitive parents unable to face the shock, fall sick or die. (c) Both the bride and groom get tainted for life as rejected stuff. Their chances of remarriage in equal status families become remote. (d) Other siblings of those families carry a stigma that their elder brother or sister was shunted out of marriage and hence all the children of those families are worthless. Such is the cost of marriage failures. I have witnessed such scenarios in the society around. These are social tragedies and pollute the society. Is it not the duty of the astrological community to develop some dependable systems? Nothing is impossible if concerted efforts are made in any field. In my वानू (post-retirement) stage efforts have been made to search (develop) a simple method of Horoscope matching through Upapada. In the process I have written two articles on the subject of Upapada Kundali which instantly depict defects in the chart as far as matrimonial is concerned. One article - Upapada: The Ultimate Determinant Of Family And Marriage Life has very kindly been published in the December 2009 issue of the esteemed e-magazine Saptarishis Astrology. The second article on the role of upapadas in horoscopic matching titled Comparison Between Koot Milan And Upapada Milan (Horoscope Matching Jaimini Style) is being submitted to the publishers of Saptarishi Astrology. Jagdish Raj Ratra A-2, Rishi Nagar, Delhi – 110 034
Horoscope Matching - Jaimini Style [The few researches of Shri Jadgish Raj Ratra that were so far published in Saptarishis Astrology have created history & generated great interest among true lovers of Jaimini, he departed from traditional one track thinking that existed since centuries in Jaimini and presented his views which as per our sources (independent of the author) have been tested & observed since 2 decades. In this article which is an original piece and his own he has presented for the first time a solution that the readers can test for the vexing problem of horoscope matching on which every Indian consults an astrologer, and even those Indians who do not believe in astrology much still consult for horoscope matching for their children’s marriage. In this area many of our past systems are an utter failure on which modern so called researchers have failed completely but have not admitted. The issue is of genuine concern in improving quality of human life that an astrologer should have from within which is reflected in the works of Mr Ratra and his friends (known to us) in offering real contribution to astrology that ‘directly’ affects humans. Charts presented below are mainly taken from Mridula Trivedi’s book ‘Vivaha Sukha’ for their uniqueness. Lest the readers in possession of Mridula jis book may get confused, it is to be noted that on the charts given in the book, printed time in her book to be ignored (in example no 1 only clock time to be ignored) and sidereal time quoted be taken, which is what the writer of this article Shri Ratra has followed from her book – Editor, Saptarishis Astrology]

n India marriage is a life bond between the spouses and not a just a matrimonial venture. Hence selection of life partner is a complex subject where parents and advisors (astrologers) extend their help and guidance.
Suppose a father of a marriageable adult puts up a matrimonial advertisement for a suitable life partner for his ward and nearly two dozen candidates remit their horoscopic data. How should the father tackle the input? There are 3 stages for screening:1. The first test is provided by Chandra Kala Nadi verse no. 218 in Book I
दारेशांश तिकोणे दारजक्षर्भं िवः। दारेशिराशौ वा योजयेत कालिवमः॥ The bride’s/groom’s Moon sign or ascendant will be Navamsha Rashi of the 7th Lord of the native or one of its trines or a sign aspected by the 7th lord. Reject those horoscopes which fail this test.
2. Secondly reject those horoscopes which have an Alpayu Yoga (short life) or Daridra Yoga (poverty) or Sexual Aberration Yogas or Brutal Behavior Yogas or other such Avayogas (adverse yogas). 3. It is said that the final screening test is Moon’s nakshatra compatibility as per the Koot Milan chart enclosed. Out of total 36 points, the horoscope with the maximum score is recommended as the final choice. Reject those charts securing less than a 1 tally of 18 points which is due to Nadi Dosha . It is claimed that marriages with Nadi Dosha are not successful and issues out of such wedlock are prone to all sorts of ailments. As such their family tree suffers.
In actual life experience, marriage performed in ignorance or disregard of Koot Milan (Nakshatra compatibility) are found to be very successful and the marriages of very high score compatibility are instant failures. Does it mean that the Koot Milan system is not dependable or is a failure? If so, is there an alternative to this system? Over two decades we were in search of an alternative to the Koot Milan system and in this process our attention was focused on these two sutras of Jaimini found in section 3 of chapter 1 dealing with Arudha. के िऽकोणोपचयेष ु ौ मैऽी॥२०॥ ् ु ु वैरम॥२१॥ िरपरोगिचास
We understand that these sutras are meant for horoscope matching. We tried to apply them to the Arudha of score of couples to test harmony or friction amongst them but the sutras were not responding. In search for their utility we then shifted their use to the upapada section and to our surprise they responded with a high degree of success. Section A – Upapada Lagna What is Upapada Lagna? We have explained it in detail in our article Upapada – A Novel Exposition which appeared in the December 2009 Vol 7 issue of SA e-

Note on Nadi Dosha: The 27 nakshatras are divided into 3 groups in a special sequence. Each group is called a Nadi. The 3 Nadis are named Aadi, Madhya and Antya. Aadi Nadi covers Ashwini, Aardra, Punarvasu, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Jyeshta, Moola, Shatabija & Poorvabhadra. Madhya Nadi covers Bharani, Mrigashira, Pushya, Poorvaphalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Poorvashada, Dhanishta & Uttarabhadra. Antya Nadi covers Krittika, Rohini, Aashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttarashada, Shravan & Revati. Marriage between natives having same Nadi is a dosha.
magazine. For the benefit of those readers who are unable to go through that article we summarize the steps to locate the upapada in any chart: 1. Locate the rashi which has been occupied by the lagna lord. Call it Pitree Rashi. 2. If the Pitree Rashi is odd i.e. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius, the count of the houses shall be forward like 1->2->3->…12. If the Pitree Rashi is even i.e. Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces, the count of houses shall be backward like 2 Æ1Æ12Æ10 ….3 3. In male charts the Anuchara rashi is 2nd from Pitree as per forward or backward count applicable to Pitree while in female charts the Agrachara rashi is 12th from Pitree as per forward or backward count applicable to Pitree. 4. Work out the Arudha of Anuchara or Agarchara rashi as per following formula: Sphuta of lord of Anuchara or Agrachara rashi = A Sphuta of Anuchara or Agrachara rashi = B Upapada = A × 2 – B Sphuta is the exact longitude of planets while sphuta of a house is the longitude of lagna + 30˚ per house till we reach the Agrachara/Anuchar house (rashi). 5. Special rule No.1: If the lord of 2nd from Pitree is in 2nd itself or that of 12th from Pitree is in 12th itself then add 90˚ to the longitude of the lord to get the Upapada. 6. Special rule No. 2: If the lord of 2nd from Pitree is placed is in 7th from 2nd or if the lord of 12th is placed in 7th from 12th then add 270˚ to the longitude of the lord to get the Upapada. 7. If the lord of Anuchara or Agrachara rashi is retrograde, work out the Upapada as per rules (4) to (6) and deduct 30˚ from it.
Now let us return to the two sutras. The Rishi says that if Upapada rashis of the male native and that of the female native are in mutual kendras (quadrants) then they enjoy top class harmony. Suppose male’s Upapada rashi is Cancer then that of female should be Cancer, Aries, Libra, or Capricorn. If the Upapadas are in mutual konas (trines) then there will be medium level of harmony between the natives e.g. if the male’s Upapada is Taurus and female’s Upapada ought to be Virgo or Capricorn. If Upapadas are in mutual Upachaya then the harmony is of border line. If the two Upapadas are mutually in 6th, 8th, 12th then the natives are mutual enemies and marriage between them will not be harmonious. So the marriage must be destroyed. The aforesaid interpretation can be applied to the lords of the Upapada rashis as a confirmation of results.
In marriage failures, separation, divorce etc. the following sutras come into play: १. तऽ पाप पापयोगे ूोा दारनाशो वा
ु २. शभग्योगाऽ
३. नीचे दारनाशः ४. उे बदारः ु च ५. यग्मे
We have taken nine example charts from Mrs. Mridula Trivedi’s book Vivah Sukh for authenticity of facts and data. Every chart bears a number which is given in her book. Section B – Koot Milan Chart Guidance for use of bride/groom compatibility chart: • • • • • •
Horizontal axis shows the male’s Moon sign and Moon’s nakshatra. Vertical axis depicts the female’s Moon sign and Moon’s nakshatra. Each box contains figures in two colours Figure in the black colour is the compatibility score. Figure(s) in the red colour are the Dosha codes. Koot points as per our chart differ by one or half point from the calculation of Mrs. Mridula Trivedi, this is ignorable.

Virgo and Gemini are in kendra to each other. Moreover their lords are in Kendra to respective upapada. Epilogue In her book Vivaha Sukha there are 52 charts of couples covered under 26 examples at serial no. 50 to 75 at pages 159 to 198 dealing with Nadi Dosha where upapada matching applies with full force. We have not discussed them all lest the subject becomes monotonous. Research minded readers may study these and other charts and apply the Jaimini Sutras to them. They will find their labour duly rewarded.
To The Editor, Saptarishis Astrology www.saptarishiastrology.com Sir, We enclose herewith a detailed article on Jaimini's Upapada for publication, if that meets your standards. Upapada Sutras by Shri. Jaimini are drafted for male nativities. Modern day females have right to select /reject/divorce their husbands on various grounds of disharmony, physical, mental or sexual disabilities. Looking into the needs of modern times, we were desperate that Upadesha Sutras become applicable to female charts also. After years of experimentation we discovered “Agra” (A¢) sign, for finding Upapada for female charts. Thus
“%ppd< pd< ipÇnucrat!“, of male natives becomes “%ppd< pd< ipÇ¢at!.“ for females. With this modification, now Upapada Sutras become applicable with full force to charts of both sexes. We do not have facility of computers to check the accuracy of charts used in the article. We entirely depend on charts available in books and journals. Kindly check them, if you so desire. Sincerely yours.
(Jagdish Raj Ratra) A-2, Rishi Nagar, Delhi 110 034. (India)
Word of Appreciation Jaimini Sutras have always been enshrouded in mystery, for long due to the very nature of sutras, which by their very nature are very brief. Upapada (%ppd) or Gaunapada (gaE[pd) is one such factor that has always been subject to multiplicity of opinion amongst scholars. The mystery here is about what the sage meant when he talked of pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). Some scholars opine that it is the 12th bhava while some say that since the 2nd bhava rises after the Lagna bhava on the horizon one should treat the 2nd bhava as the Gauna bhava
(gaE[Éav), whose pada can be called the upapada. Then some opine that for odd rasis rising as lagna one should treat the 2nd as the Gauna bhava (gaE[Éav) and for even rasis the 12th should be considered the Gauna bhava
(gaE[Éav), whose pada shall be called upapada. There are some scholars who claim that for female this should be reversed as is done in case of Putra bhava (puÇÉav) for Stree jataka (female astrology). Some scholars have another explanation for the word pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). They say that the word Pitra (ipÇ) is not to be interpreted by “katapayaadi” (kqpyadI) decryption method but to be taken to indicate the bhava of Pita that is father and hence it is the Gauna bhava (gaE[Éav) of the 9th bhava which is to be taken as the bhava whose pada shall lead to Upapada. Each of these arguments has its own distinct logic. It is then no wonder that most astrologers keep away from the Jaimini sutras as these complexities are too much for them. Jagdish Raj Ratra has taken great pains to unravel this aspect of Jaimini sutras and given a new direction to the whole method of calculation of upapada and shown here how the principles of sage Jaimini can be applied with the help of numerous charts. We hope that this article will help give a new insight into the application of Jaimini principles, to our learned readers and encourage them to carry out more research in this, least understood and most talked about, branch of Vedic astrology.

Upapada: The Ultimate Determinant Of Family & Marriage Life
A Novel Exposition By Jagdish Raj Ratra, India Copy Editor: Chandrashekhar Sharma Readership Level: Scholars

n arranged marriages Matching of Horoscopes ranges from fashion to necessity. Koot Milan is done from Nakshatra-Padas of would be brides and grooms. Some experts perform 'Graha Milan', yet the future spousal life remains a mystery or rather a Lottery.
The Rishis of yore solved this problem of uncertainty. They developed a system, whereby from horoscope of a groom, harmony and turmoil of Conjugal Life, Virtues and distractions of wife, the number of children she will bear, the number of co-born she has, (the Mayaka of her root family) could be predicted. The method was through Upapada Kundali. By certain rules, one of the houses in male horoscope was chosen as reference to lagna which was called 'Upapada'. Shri Jaimini, whose Sutras are like an ocean in a
Jagdish Raj Ratra is B.Com (hons) L.L.B Fellow (F.I.I) worked in Insurance Sector (LIC Of India) for 38 years. He has been dedicated to serious study in astrology since last few decades. He retired in Feb 1996, has special interest in Jaimini Astrology. He Researches on a) Why there are 150 nadis in a sign and what is the span of each nadi b) What is their importance and its contribution in natives age span?
cup, define Upapada - upapadaM (%ppd<), padaM (pd<), pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). This contains three key words - (1) Pitree (ipt&), (2) Anuchara (Anucr), and (3) Padam (pd<). If we can understand them, we shall know Upapada. A little review of these magic words is necessary. Padam (pd<) or Aroodha (AaêF) is known to all students of astrology. (yavdIzaïy< pd\]a[am!²) "As far as a Sign-lord is away from its sign that far away is the “Padam” from the sign-lord., is the basic rule, e.g. Mars, the lord of Mesha rasi, if placed in Simha, (Mesha to Simha are five signs) which is five signs away from Mesha, counting again the five signs ahead including Simha i.e. Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrishchika and Dhanu, are five signs. Thus, 857
Dhanu is Aroodha of Mesha, whose lord occupies the fifth house from it. This rule is applicable to all non-kendra placement of sign lords. Special Rules: (1) svasthe daaraaH.(SvSwe dara>,) & (2) sutasthe janmaH.
(sutSwe
jNm>,)
now
daaraaH (dara>) is plural of (the word) daaraa (dara). So, it refers to more than one sign or bhava. Sva (Sv) has more than one meaning. (i) Swa is own. (ii) Putting numerical value to Swa is 4. (iii) Dara's numerical value is, Da = 8. Ra = 2. If written in speaking order, it is 28. expunging multiples of 12, we get 4. [Having collected the numbers from the letters used, we have to reverse them. Then divide the same figure by twelve, and obtain the remainder. Thus the word daaraa (dara) stands for 28 divided by 12, it stands for the figure 4 indicating 4th house.] If Simha lord is placed in his own sign, there is zero gap between sign and sign lord, in terms of signs. Rishi says extend this gap to 4 signs, eg. If Mars is in Mesha, its pada is in Kataka. The second connotation is that, if that gap between sign and sign lord is four signs, [then also extend to another further a total of four signs], to get Aroodha, eg. If Mars, the Lord of Mesha is placed in Cancer, count four signs away [from Kataka] which is Tula, which is Aroodha of Mesha. These are special rules for [concerned] sign lord's placement in first Kendra, but second Kendra placement from his sign comes under general rules to which one sign reduction is applicable in Aroodha to retro lords of Pitree, Agrachara and Anuchara signs. sutasthe janmaH. (sutSwe jNm>,) is special rule for placement of sign lord in the 3rd Kendra to his sign. The word Suta (sut) is seven, and the word Janma (jNm) is ten, numerically, under katapayadi paddhati. This rule says, if sign lord is placed in seventh from its sign, though gap is seven signs, extend it ten signs ahead to reach the Aroodha. This is the rule for third Kendra placement. To the fourth Kendra placement general rule is applicable, as no specific rule has been framed. These Kendra placement rules override vriddha karikas and their followers. Rishi rejects them. Summary of Padas: Placement of Sign Lord First House Seventh House Second House Eighth House Third House Ninth House Fourth House Tenth House Fifth House Eleventh House Sixth House Twelfth House
Aroodha of Sign Fourth House Fourth House Third House Third House Fifth House Fifth House Seventh House Seventh House Ninth House Ninth House Eleventh House Eleventh House
This summary of padas (Aroodhas) is valid where Lagna degrees and Planet degrees are not available. Wherever this information is available the padas are calculated by formula: Pada = Sphuta (degrees) of bhava lord X 2 – Bhava sphuta. Under special rules, simply add 90°, 120°, 180° etc. to the bhava sphuta to get the Pada.
858
Pitree (ipt&) is a key word in definition. Almost all scholars have put numerical value of Pitree (ipt&) condensed to one i.e. rising Lagna [bhava]. A careful study of Jaimini Sutras will reveal that, his predictions on Jataka are not based on rising lagna but, on derived lagnas such as seven karakamsha lagnas, twelve Aroodha Lagnas, [including one Upapada-Lagna], Varnada Lagna, Gulika etc. Bhavesha Ashraya Raashi (Éavez Aaïy razI that is the Rashi that gives shelter to the Bhava lord) is very significant in Aroodha system. Here rising lagna is subordinate to the sign of placement for Lagna Lord, because the placement sign is the place in the horoscope from where it shall discharge its horoscopic duties by aspects and other relationships. Hence, placement sign is called Pitree (ipt&) Bhava. (Éavezae yÇ itóit s> ipt&,). This concept has given excellent results in age calculations, in thousands of horoscopes. Anuchara (Anucr) is the one that follows the person ahead of him. Suppose A, B, C three persons are standing in queue. A is first in queue, B second, and C as third. Hence B is anuchara of A. C is anuchara of B. A is leader of (A¢cr) of B. B is Agrachara (A¢cr) of C. Applying this logic to signs that rise in the east. Suppose Mesha is rising in the East, whose Agrachara (A¢cr) was Mina. When it passes off, Vrishabha shall follow as Anuchara (Anucr). We shall chart the odd signs as per Praachi VrittiH Vishameshu' (àacIv&ÄI iv;me;u). For odd signs: Agrachara

Anuchara sign (Anucr razI) is relevant for male nativity and Agrachara sign (A¢cr razI) for female nativity. As per Vedic tradition, wife is Anuchara (follower or one who walks behind) of husband, and Husband is (leader or one who walks ahead) Agrachara. Having understood Pitree, Anuchara and Padam, we can easily locate Upapada in any horoscope. Please note, in Aroodha, no distinction is made between even and odd signs. Their count is always forward. If a bhava lord is retrograde, such retrogration needs special attention and are subject in themselves, as explained herein after.

In a nutshell, benefics by aspect (Jaiminian Aspects) and conjunction on Upapada, or its lord, blesses native with blissful married life. While malefics create differences, tensions, quarrels, disloyalty and even divorce. It has been observed that, Ketu by aspect or conjunction on Upapada or its lord, denies marriage. If benefics force marriage. Ketu kills spouse or destroys marriage, while other malefics create disharmony. Practical utility of Upapada is available in the following horoscope discussed by late Dr. B. V. Raman, at page 760, of October 1986 issue of [The] Astrological Magazine. In this piece Raman gives instance of his flop interpretation of Kalatra Bhava of one Sri Acharya of Tirupati at Allahabad in March 1938. How is my Kalatra Bhava? was asked by 48 years old Acharya. Mr. Raman writes - my analysis was simple following Parashara. The lord of the seventh house Sun is in Kendra in association with Jupiter and Mercury and otherwise un-afflicted. Depositor of Sun, Mars is exalted, but in the twelfth house with Venus and Ketu, aspected by Lagna lord Saturn. Thus, while the seventh house is somewhat afflicted, there is no denial of marriage. Since Moon is in a malefic sign and aspected by Saturn and Mars. This makes you impulsive and quarrelsome. Due to this, your wife could have left or died. The Acharya became furious and remarked that, he took pity on his knowledge. He said, "No astrologer in India including 'Jyotisha Samrat' has succeeded in analyzing correctly my seventh house. He told - 'My first marriage took place in my 12th year and wife died in 18th year. And my second wife marriage performed in the 18th years and bore me two sons and four daughters. She also died in 41st year. My third marriage was performed when I was 43 years and she too died in my 47th year, after giving birth to a female child, who also died. Today, I have no wife and have come to this place to spend rest of my life. I myself know astrology but cannot figure out which yoga have caused these deaths''. 860
The horoscope quoted by Shri Raman is difficult to decode as far as 7th house is concerned. Using Jaimini definition of Upapada we shall try to understand, whether it is applicable to this chart. The sign allotted to Lagna Lord Saturn is Kataka (an even sign). It also is Pitree. It qualifies for backward counting. Its Anuchara is Mithun. (See chart of Anuchara and Agrachara). Aroodha for Mithun is Mesha, which becomes Upapada. It is a malefic sign. But sign lord being exalted should grant multiple wives which it did grant. But how many? Three benefics Sun, Mercury and Jupiter aspect Upapada, denoting three wives.

But all died. Ketu's conjunction or aspect on Upapada or its lord, or both or on marriage granting planets, destroys wives (spouses). Here Ketu joins Upapada lord (Mars) and aspects three marriages granting planets destroying all marriages.
End of Part I We will demonstrate role of Ketu on Upapada over dozen cases in Part II. Thereby confirming our interpretation of Upapada passes the test of scrutiny.
Upapada Part II Deviating entirely from traditional meaning of Upapada we have visualized new concept of Pitree [sign] (ipt& razI) and Anuchara [sign] (Anucr razI) and proposed Agrachara [sign] (A¢cr razI) for female natives. We have made random selection of charts from various sources - astrodata bank - Articles by renowned authors appearing in widely read magazines. Chart No 1.

Lagna Pitree is Kanya (backward count) having Agrachara in Tula, whose Aroodha is Kumbha which becomes the Upapada of chart. Upapada is occupied by Mars and Rahu showing rift with spouse. 866
Jupiter aspects on Upapada granted marriage. Ketu aspects Upapada Lord as well as Jupiter consuming his benefic powers, did not kill, but separated the spouse. Chart No 11. A female born on 25 August 1956, at 5 Hrs at 28 N 39, 77 E 13 with balance of Ketu Dasha of 6 years 13 days.

Mars in 8th of Lagna is dangerous Manglika Yoga, should have killed spouse in his dasha, which was operative from September 1998 to September 2005. But, death occurred much earlier during Vimshottari Venus Dasha and Mercury Bhukti. The husband was killed in a plane accident. Lagna Pitree is Mesha, an odd sign for forward count. Agrachara is Meena, whose Aroodha falls in Makara. Two benefics Sun + Jupiter aspects Upapada. Ketu aspecting Makara terminated first marriage. She may re-marry. Chart No 12. A male native born on 14 November, 1948 at 21 Hrs 15 Min. at 51 N 30, 00 W 10. With balance of Vimshottari Ketu at 2 years 4 Months and 22 Days. The native belongs to British Royalty and got married in July 1985. But divorce came in August 1996. The Mars Dasha, which operated from April 1987 to April 1994, did not destroy marriage.

Lagna Pitree is Mesha an odd sign, with direct counting has Vrishabha, as Anuchara. Aroodha for Vrishabha is Makara, which becomes Upapada. Upapada is aspected by benefic Sun and malefic Mars also Upapada lord Saturn, prolonging married life somewhat, but Ketu aspecting Upapada lord spoils the game.
867
We observe that, in cases of celibacy (Siddhas, Shankaracharyas, Spiritual men) no marriages, disharmony, divorce or destruction of spouse, Ketu is involved by aspect or conjunction over Upapada sign or Upapada Lord. In the first place Ketu denies marriage and if benefics force marriage, it destroys them.
End Of Part II. In Part III we shall take some tough cases. Some charts of spiritual men are being discussed here. Chart No 13. Shri. Shankaracharya of Shringeri born on 13th November, 1917 at 8-29 A.M. at Bangalore. Planetary longitudes of planets and Bhavas are: Lagna 2360 37', Sun 2070 28', Moon 1880 13', Mars 1320 59', Mercury 2120 58', Jupiter (R) 450 50', Venus 2530 30', Saturn 1110 2 41', Ketu 700 50', Shri Shankaracharya was world known Brahmachari. Jupiter (R) Shri. Shankaracarya of Sringeri 13-11-1917.

Ignoring longitudes, we may say that Lagna Pitree is Simha, Anuchara is Kanya, whose lord Aroodha is Makara, which becomes Upapada, and is aspected by Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. Ketu is nowhere involved with Upapada and its lord, the native should have been a family man. Has Jaiminian failed ? No. Notice carefully Kanyaa sphuta is 1760 36' (i.e. Lagna Sphuta minus 600.) and Mercury is 2120 58'. The gap between them is 360 12'. When we add 360 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the longitudes of Mercury, that is 2120 58', we get 2490 10', i.e. Dhanu becomes Upapada. Which is under aspect of Ketu, along with Venus. Ketu has destroyed sensuous, Venusian role and made him Brahmachari and Spiritual Man. Chart No 14. Sai Baba of Shirdi born on 18th May 1837 at 8-21 P.M. at Pathri (Maharashtra).

Now, we will discuss difficult charts, where Lagna lord or Lords of Anuchara and Agrachara bhavas are in retrogration. Here, Upapada worked out in normal procedure, do not respond to the realities of life. How to tackle them? There is no guideline in texts. We are of the view, that retrograde planets have their corpus or body in one sign, and their inclinations are focused in the previous sign. Compare such a planet to a retreating soldier who is firing in his front, but stepping backward to his previous bunker for safety. In such a situation, we propose to use both signs - sign of placement and previous sign. Take Agrachara / Anuchara bhavas from previous sign, but keep the order of forward and backward count applicable to sign of placement of retrograde plane. To explain the thought, an illustration chart is given. Jupiter (R) Pitree Lagna Mars (R)
Lagna // Dhanu is Lagna and its lord Jupiter, as retrograde, is placed in Mithun, which is Pitree. It's body is placed in 7th bhava, while it's inclinations are towards 6th bhava. Take Agrachara and Anuchara from Vrishabha, but count will be forward, as Pitree is an odd sign. If it is male chart, Anuchara is Mithuna, follower of Vrishabha. If it is female chart, Agrachara is Mesha, predecessor of Vrishabha. Let us prepare chart of Agrachara and Anuchara signs, for odd and even Pitree Lagna signs having retrograde planet.

Having fixed the procedure for locating Anuchara/Agrachara signs, we might face another problem in locating Aroodha for Anuchara/Agrachara signs, if their lords are retrograde. We propose to locate Aroodha as usual, but reduce one sign from such Aroodha to reach Upapada. Chart No 17. Miss. Lata Mangeshkar born on 22 September, 1929 hated marriage. Rahu

Lagna Pitree is Mithun, with retrograde Jupiter. As per retrograde chart, Agrachara is Mesha, whose Aroodha in normal case is Tula. As Mars, Lord of Mesha, is retrograde, one sign is reduced reaching Kanyaa as Upapada which is under aspect of Ketu. Three more female charts with retrograde lagna lords found with Prof. P. S. Sastry's Jaimini Sutras at pages 93 and 94. All became widows after short interval of marriage, due to effects of Ketu on Upapada and Lord of Upapada. Place of birth and has been withheld by P.S.

Moon Mars Saturn(R) Rahu Lagna Pitree & Agrachara Pitree Vrishchika. Lagna lord Retrograde. As per Retrograde chart, Agrachara is Vrishchika. Upapada being Meena. Ketu aspects Jupiter. Upapada Lord being Uccha, showing multiple marriages. She became widow early in life. It is likely that, there might be cases which do not respond to Upapada and Ketu combination. We remember a Chandrakaka Nadi dictum "based on Parashara Principles' that, a male who has Jupiter in the 3rd house, will make his in-laws (from where he gets wife) prosperous {7th is spouse or wife, 9th from 7th is 3rd his in-laws (Wife's father)}. Another dictum - aspect or conjunction of Rahu + Saturn on 3rd house, or its lord, destroys chances of marriage. If the marriage does occur then such aspect/conjunction, destroys the marriage. So far we have demonstrated the effects of ketu on Upapada. Over the centuries astrological scholars were unable to crack Upapada, and thus discarded it, as useless, having no practical value. It is surprising - even 'Chandra Kala Naadi' which uses every tool of prediction, prescribed by Shri Parashara has not made a mention of Upapada even once. This may be due to the way Upapada had been defined under Parashara system, in their times, did not match with realities of Life. Therefore, they dropped Upapada in their Nadi. We have presented before astrological community interpretation of Upapada as defined by Shri Jaimini and its utility. Still more work, is needed on this topic. Some one will do that in future. We would request the parents that apart from traditional method of horoscopic matching, they should also study Upapada of 'WOULD-BE' (Groom/bride) before taking final decision. We are of the opinion that, each Jaimini Sutra is a topic in itself. Perhaps nobody knows that simple looking first Sutra of Jaimini %pdez< VyaOyaSyam>, contains full profile of Jaimini Jataka Shastra having 581 sutras spread over 3 chapters each divided into 4 sections each. We propose to write on it, some day. Lastly would like to thank Shri K. Bhushan, one of the senior most student of this shastra in this country & always a great inspiration to me and others, with whom this particular discussion on Upapada & Pitree dates back to 11 years back & without whose support this article would not have been written.
