Preface

Every translation of a rare manuscript like this has a story. The

story is never printed but scholars and passionate astrologers have a
strong lurking desire to know the detailed process behind each work of
this type.
Our friend Ms Helen Patterson once insisted that we write an
article describing the amount of troubles that are taken to finally get a
translation out. If that is written then it could be interpretated by some as
the team is trying to be boastful and take credit and one would normally
not do that. Yet this has a story which might be of interest to some and
some folks must be acknowledged is our main intention.
After half a dozen articles of Bhrighu Saral Paddathi (BSP) series
were published some 2 to 2.5 years back we received a call from an
acquaintance who had been repeatedly in touch with us
regardingprocurement of nadis & some other Jaimini manuscripts which
we did send it to him. Here we must hasten to highlight that this
acquaintance has been referred to by Mr. K N Rao as his ‘young bhrighu
friend’ in his writings. This gentleman informed us in detail that he spent
the complete of last 3 days testing the techniques of BSP on hundreds of
charts and it was working to such an extent that it was astonishing and
thus he wanted to know the source which we could not disclose at that
point of time. However at this stage since BSP was yielding very good
results to many a practioners including this Bhrighu friend of ours, who
have been very humble in making these confessions to us, we must add
that there is more to astrology than what we know of it in the last 1000s
of years.... However this bhrighu friend of us mentioned the name of
Bhrighu Yogavali during the course of discussions....
The name caught Bhrighu Yogavali caught our attention, we wanted
to ask him where to find it but then he said that he has already given
1200 of such Bhrighu Yogavali texts, scanned in CDs to an internationally
famous astrologer, which this aquaintance collected by travelling all over
India and even Nepal. Then subsequently the hunt for this so called
Bhrighu Yogavalis and are thankful to this ‘young bhrighu friend’ of K N
Rao started for creating this strong desire, hoping to find something
similar to BSPs in this Bhrighu Yogavalis. A hunt that has caused us some
pain which would be mentioned in detail later. We started calling all our
friends to hunt and further procure these Bhrighu Yogavalis. Finally it was
SA volunteer Mr Ashutosh Kumar from Ranchi who having searched it in a
lot of places got hold of it in Delhi, he probably paid Rs 5000/- ($110) for a
photocopy from his own pocket and got one of the Bhrighu Yogavalis texts
in Sanskrit. When he called us to inform about it, we were spell
bound since texts of Bhrighu Rishi cannot be so easily obtained, but the
edges of it were badly spoilt and the print very faint. Yet we were
determined to translate it out since least to least some clues would be
gotten. Then after having contacted many Sanskrit scholars who refused
to touch it since the first 2 pages were missing and the later 30 odd pages
had their edges spoilt thereby making the shlokas not possible to be
properly translated, one Sanskrit translator agreed to translate and infact
did some work on it but he turned rogue and later did some things of
stabbing us in the back, this was a hurtful period since it showed us how
bad we were in judging people. We gave up on the manuscript and it was
a period of depression due to other incidents too.
Finally a volunteer by the name of Mr. Upendra Agnihotram from
Hyderabad contacted us that his father who resides in a village and is a
Sanskrit school teacher would translate it into English but the problem
was his father did not know English well and he could translate from
Sanskrit to only Telegu language. Then Mr Upendra said he would in turn
translate it into English. We took the chance and it took some time, infact
a lot of time to get the job done since, Ashutosh took a long time getting it
scanned (he had to get it done on a friends scanner) and then sending it
to us, we would in return send it to Upendra, who would in turn send it to
his father in a village in Andhra Pradesh and then his father would
translate it on a piece of paper and then post it to Upendra who had to in
turn translate and type out both Sanskrit and English during his spare
time. One can wonder if a professional astrologer will be able to devote so
much time to do what Upendra did, would he have the love for getting
knowledge out like how Upendra had. Then a problem came about (this
often happens with Bhrighu Texts) Mr Upendra got busy with official work
and the work got stalled, at the same time Ashutosh was somehow not
able to send further scanned copies. There was more mishaps which need
not be mentioned as it would take space yet they were significant and
caused more pain as the delay of reading what Bhrighu Rishi had
authentically written, as for the first time in the history of astrology there
was a written manuscript supposedly prescribed to Bhrighu Rishi,
otherwise the Bhrighu Samhitas original leaves never come out in the
open.
We spoke to mentor somewhere during this period and he said that
Khemraj Publishers, Mumbai had published one of these Bhrighu Yogavalis
many decades back and to procure it from them, we called the owner and
he was least interested in going to his godown to part with that one copy.
Meanwhile during the Nadi Astrology Conference in Hyderabad we met
once again the beautiful couple of Gowri Shankar and his wife Shakuntala
and told them our problem, they said in an ‘instant’ they would take over
from Upendra (he has completed till 200 shlokas) and type it out and
further translate it. Then there were technical problems with the Sanskrit
typing which took our tool since none of us are computerexperts and then
the rough translation was ready but what about the first two pages which
would give us the period of the text. A chance talking with one of the
volunteers brought a solution, he said it is available in Bhandarkar
Manuscript Library, Pune and he would procure it. Finally he sent us that
manuscript which completed this particular text. There is a story behind
this but due to a reason we do not mention the strange story behind it.
Then Shakuntala compared both the texts and has finally reproduced the
best out of it, though still some shlokas are missing. We had procured the
help of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan and even promised to pay some money to
get the Sanskrit translation double checked since this text contains
remedies for the yogas and remedies cannot be wrongly translated.
Atleast the best of the efforts need to be made. Somehow that deal with
BVB fell through and a lady having doctorate in Sanskrit was contacted in
Dehradun who promised to check the translation but after 2 months she
could not be contacted again. Finally Chandrashekhar Sharma who had
earlier been busy with other texts was forced to double check the
translation and eventually Part 1 of this work is out, after a gap of 2 to 2.5
years.
One would see after reading this text that for the first time one gets
to see names of New Yogas inastrology, the reason behind a yoga, the
past life karma and the remedy for it, all this escapes all the other texts
on Yogas. The biggest joy for us is that it also corroborated one of the
lectures that we had given in Hyderabad some years back wherein we had
mentioned (without knowing if such a text exists) that each Yoga needs to
state the remedy behind it and the karma done in the past life for that
yoga to exist in the chart in this life. This made us most happy when
recently we saw this translation of Bhrighu Yogavali. As to what we said in
Hyderabad at an astrological conference and how Mr. A V Sundaram
revealed some secrets to us, another article that is pending since a year
will be published soon or probably together with this write up. We request
everyone to read this manuscript translation of Bhrighu Yogavali which
presumably is one of the 1200 manuscripts of the same name and as per
the 2nd shloka, it seems to be from a period of Treta Yuga, probably
making it one of the oldest Jyotish documents to ever come out. We thank
that young bhrighu astrologer friend of K N Rao who directed us to this
manuscript with just two words ‘Bhrighu Yogavali’, although this work is
on yogas and does not contain predictive techniques similar to BSP, yet he
must be thanked. Many of you would only read this work and go on with
your day to day activities, our request is remove few minutes and thank
the team atleast mentally, a team who dedicatedly worked on it and if you
can send a Thank You note to them would be most encouraging, but do
remember the word Thank You does not exist in 99% of astrologers
vocabulary, you would be that rare 1% of the breed. – SA Publisher.
P.S: Please do not approach us for any contact details of people mentioned in articles
because as a policy we would not able to furnish the same.

Manognya yoga is formed when Saturn is in its exaltation (Libra in 10th house), Sun is
conjunct Mars in Aries in the 4th house and Venus is conjunct either with Jupiter or Mercury.
On account of this, the person will be stout, generous and rich, has abundant gold and
precious gems. He will have many sons and will be long lived. Also he will either be a king
or will be respected/honoured by kings.

(This yoga is formed) Because of constructing a temple for Lord Vishnu in the past life, the
person in the present life will be wealthy, happy and will be honoured by the king.

किं जाप्यं कस्य पूजा च किं दानं च किमौषधम्॥ १४॥

kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 14 ||

What Japas, Pujas, and Danas should be performed and what medications should be taken (to
avoid the above situation)?

भृगुरुवाच॥
bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

शनेः सप्ताक्षरे मन्त्रं भौममन्त्रं षडक्षरम्॥

प्रत्येकं द्विसहस्रं तु जप्त्वा देयं धनं ततः॥ १५॥
śaneḥ saptākṣare mantraṁ bhaumamantraṁ ṣaḍakṣaram ||
pratyekaṁ dvisahasraṁ tu japtvā deyaṁ dhanaṁ tataḥ || 15 ||

Seven lettered Shani (Saturn) mantra and six lettered Kuja (Mars) mantra should be chanted
for 2000 times each and then money should be donated.
 रजतं सप्तषट्कं च हाटकं च तथैव च॥
rajataṁ saptaṣaṭkaṁ ca hāṭakaṁ ca tathaiva ca||

The native should also donate 42 (7 x 6) silver and gold coins each.

त्रिंशत्पलं ताम्रपात्रं घृतेन परिपूरितम्॥

वृषभं वस्त्रगोधूमौ प्रदद्याब्राह्मणायच॥ १६॥

(The native should) Donate a copper vessel (plate) weighing 30 palas filled with ghee. Also
donate a bull, clothes, wheat to a Brahmin.

देशं स्वं भूमिदानं च कारयेच्छ्रद्धयान्वितः॥

एतद्दानोपचारेण निरोगी च सुखि भवेत्॥ १७॥
deśaṁ svaṁ bhūmidānaṁ ca kārayecchraddhayānvitaḥ||
etaddāanopacāreṇa nirogī ca sukhi bhavet || 17 ||

(above said) danas, he will become free of diseases and will be happy.

सप्तजन्म विना दानौरेत द्योगाद्दरिद्रता॥

कविनाच कृतः प्रश्नो भृगुणा परिभाषितः॥ १८॥
saptajanma vinā dānaureta dyogāddaridratā ||
kavināca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 18 ||

For one born in this yoga, by not performing the remedial measures, the person will become a
daridra (poor) for the next seven births.
Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra’s question.

कर्मेशो ना विलग्नेशः क्रूरः क्रूरगृहे यदा॥१९॥
kṛurakṣetre yadā jīvaḥ suteśaḥ kṛurasaṁmataḥ ||
karmeśo nā vilagneśaḥ kṛuraḥ kṛuragṛuhe yadā ||19 ||

When Jupiter is in a rasi owned by a malefic and 5th lord is with malefics, 10th lord or Lagna
lord are malefics and in a placed in a malefic rasi,

भौमार्क वीक्षितोऽधिशस्तदा योगो हि वैभवः॥

पूर्वं तीर्थे कृता सेवा ऋषीणां च पुनः पुनः॥ २०॥
bhaumārka vīkṣito'dhiśastadā yogo hi vaibhavaḥ ||
pūrvaṁ tīrthe kṛtā sevā ṛuṣīṇāṁ ca puanaḥ punaḥ || 20 ||

(and) Mars and Sun aspect Lagna Lord, Vaibhava Yoga is formed. This is because the native
in his past life had served the Rishis in holy places again and again.

तेन सौख्यं भवेत्तस्य धनाढयो राजपूजितः॥

गौरश्च चपलो वक्ता गुणि च मृदुवाक्सुधीः॥ २१॥
tena saukhyaṁ bhavettasya dhanāḍhayo rājapūjitaḥ ||
gauraśca capalo vaktā guṇi ca mṛduvāksudhīḥ || 21 ||

(As the result of this yoga,) The person (in the present life) will be rich, happy and is
respected by the king. He will have reddish complexion, will be fickle minded, good orator,
wise, soft spoken and will be endowed with good qualities.

बहुस्थानेषु दाता च मित्रशत्रु समो भवेत्॥

 संतानो न भवेत्तस्य जातोपिच न जीवति॥ २२॥
bahusthāneṣu dātā ca mitraśatru samo bhavet ||

He will be known as a donor in many places and will have equal number of friends and
enemies. (However, because of this yoga) He will be childless or the child will not survive
even if he is born.

सतीकलंकमाऽऽदाय ब्रह्मशापनिराहतः॥
satīkalaṁkamā''dāya brahmaśāpanirāhataḥ||

The above (problems in case of children) are because of defaming a virtuous married female
and acquiring a Brahmashapa (curse) that could not be taken back in the past life.

(After the japas) donate 54 (9 x 6) pieces of gold and 72 (12 x 6) pieces of silver. Also donate
beautiful clothes to women.

एतदुक्तं मया पुत्र जपांते तु विनिर्दिशेत्॥

My son, I have been told that one should offer arghya (water) to Sun and the donation as
indicated be made to 6 women after performing the japa.

सवत्सानां गवां पन्च्च ऋतौ स्त्रिभ्यः प्रदापयेत्॥

भौमे नक्तं च कर्त्तव्यं तदैव कथ्यते ध्रुवम्॥ २८॥

(The native should) Donate 5 cows along with their calves, each, to 6 women. Also he should
definitely fast in the day (i.e., eat only in the night) on Tuesdays.

भौमयंत्रंतुपार्श्वे च धारयेद्विधिना सह॥

bhaumayaṁtraṁtupārśve ca dhārayedvidhinā saha ||
ena ddānopacāreṇa prāpyate saṁtatidhruvam || 29 ||

The native should wear a yantra of Mars in the hand above the elbow (below the armpit) after
following the (purification) procedures. By performing (the above said) danas and remedial
measures, he will definitely have children.

मृतवत्सत्वदोषघ्नं चिरंजीवी सुबालकः॥

mṛtavatsatvadoṣaghnaṁ ciraṁjīvī subālakaḥ ||
tasmā ddānaṁprakartavyaṁ pūjāyaṁtraṁ ca tattvataḥ || 30 ||

By performing the danas, pujas and wearing yantras to the extent, the dosha (defect of having
a child who does not live long) gets cancelled and the native will have beautiful children who
are long lived.

श्रुत्वा त्वनुसवं कार्यं बिलंबं नैव कारयेत्॥

After hearing, the remedial measures should be performed without delay. Thus answered
Bhrigu to Sukra’s question.

॥ इति विभव योगफलम्॥

End of Vibhava yoga phalam.

 ॥ अथ सौम्ययोग फलम्॥
|| atha saumyayoga phalam ||

Result of Saumya yoga.

लग्ने षष्टाष्टमे चन्द्रः क्रूरयुक्तोथ वीक्षितः॥

क्रूरक्षेत्रेच जीवज्ञौ सोम्याः केंद्र त्रिकोणमाः॥ ३२॥
lagne ṣaṣṭāṣṭame candraḥ krūrayuktotha vīkṣitaḥ ||
krūrakṣetreca jīvajñau soumyāḥ keṁdra trikoṇamāḥ || 32 ||

Saumya yoga is formed when Moon is in the Lagna, 6th or 8th house, is conjunct or aspected
by malefics, Jupiter is placed in a rasi owned by malefics and benefic planets are in Kendras
or Trikonas.

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: The text appears to talk of Jupiter and Mercury in the house of
malefic, but apparently it is a misprint since then it goes on to talk of benefics in plural. With
Jupiter, Moon and Mercury already accounted for the only benefic left out is Venus. So there
is some misprint and thus the translation as above seems to be right. However the yoga being
named after Mercury (one of whose names is Saumya) one could also consider Mercury
occupying malefic owned house and conjunct Jupiter being the condition.

सौम्ययोगे कृतः पूर्वे मातुलान्याश्च संगमः॥

saumyayoge kṛtaḥ pūrve mātulānyāśca saṁgamaḥ ||
tena pāpānusāreṇa śuklakuṣṭī prajāyate || 33 ||

Saumya yoga is formed because in the past life, the person had sexual union with maternal
uncle’s wife. As the result of that misdeed, he will suffer from white leprosy in the present
life.

नक्तांधो दीर्घरोगी वा शुकहीन श्च जायते॥

naktāṁdho dīrgharogī vā shukahīna śca jāyate ||
alpadātā bhavetkrodhī putrastrīmitraduḥkhadaḥ || 34 ||
The person will also have night blindness, will suffer from long lasting diseases and will be
unhappy. He will not make any donations and will have an angry temperament. He will be
the cause of grief for his wife, children and friends.

तदग्रे च जपं कुर्यात् रुद्रमंत्रं नवाक्षरम्॥ ३६॥
strīrūpaṁ ca prakarttavyaṁ tanmadhye caṁdanākṣatān ||
tadagre ca japaṁ kuryāt rudramaṁtraṁ navākṣaram || 36 ||

In the center of that (mandala) draw a figure of female with sandalwood akshataas (rice

paṁcasāhasramānena pūrvoktavidhinā saha ||
hāṭakaṁ ca tatoapyaṣṭaṣaṭkaṁ tāraṁ ca śobhanam || 37 ||

The japa should be performed 5000 times as per the method stated earlier. Later donate 48 (8
x 6) gold coins on a day of auspicious star (nakshatra).

माषाक्तं च गुडं तैलंगाश्च वृषभसंयुताः॥

एतद्दानं प्रकर्त्तव्यं जपः कार्यो न संशयः॥ ३८॥
māṣāktaṁ ca guḍaṁ tailaṁgāśca vṛṣabhasaṁyutāḥ ||
etaddānaṁ prakarttavyaṁ japaḥ kāryo na saṁśayaḥ || 38 ||

Later donate blackgram, jaggery, oil along with a bull. These donations (danas) and japas
should be performed without any doubts.

ततस्तु श्रीफलं भव्यं मायामंत्रेण मंत्रयेत्॥

ऋतौत्रिवारं दातव्यं भोजनं पायसं घृतम्॥ ३९॥
tatastu śrīphalaṁ bhavyaṁ māyāmaṁtreṇa maṁtrayet ||

Next purify a good coconut with ‘maya’ mantra. Donate food to two women thrice (2 x 3)
along with ghee and payasam (rice boiled with milk and sugar).

एतद्दनोपचारेण पुत्रो भवति नान्यथा॥

By performing the danas, the person will definitely get a son who is a chiranjeevi (long
lived), there is no other way he shall get a son.

शुक्र उवाच॥
 śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

केन पुण्येन हेतोर्वा रोगहीनः प्रजायते॥

kena puṇyena hetorvā rogahīnaḥ prajāyate ||

“What sacred deeds should be performed so that the native will become free of diseases?”

भृगुरुवाच॥
bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

पूर्वोक्तपुण्यं कृत्वा तु कृष्णकंबल संयुतम्॥ ४१॥

pūrvoktapuṇyaṁ kṛtvā tu kṛṣṇakaṁbala saṁyutam || 41 ||

(The native should) perform all the earlier said religious measures and take a black woollen
blanket,

चत्वारिंशत्पलं लोहपात्र तैलेन संभृतम्॥

महा एकार्द्धषट्कं च सद्विप्राय तु दापयेत्॥ ४२॥
catvāriṁśatpalaṁ lohapātra tailena saṁbhṛtam ||
mahā ekārddhaṣaṭkaṁ ca sadviprāya tu dāpayet || 42 ||

also take an iron vessel weighing 40 palas filled with oil, and donate them along with 3 (half
of 6) cows to a good brahman.

मृत्युंजयं महा मंत्रं विधिना सह लेखयेत्॥

धारयित्वातु शीर्षेवैकारये द्द्विजपूजनम्॥ ४३॥
mṛtyuṁjayaṁ mahā maṁtraṁ vidhinā saha lekhayet ||
dhārayitvātu śīrṣevaikāraye ddvijapūjanam || 43 ||
 write ‘Mrityunjaya maha mantra’ as per the procedure and wear it in the head after
worshipping Brahmins.

Sanskrit Editor’s comment: I think the word “शीर्षेवैकारयेत्” is a misprint and should
be “शीर्षैवैखारयेत्”(śīrṣaivaikhārayet) and thus the meaning would be, one should
should write the mrityunjaya mantra, hold it on one’s head and recite it loudly after
worshipping a Brahmin.

सोमवारैकभक्तं च कर्त्तव्यं च विशेषतः॥

तत्तद्दनोपचारेण रोगहीनः प्रजायते॥ ४४॥
somavāraikabhaktaṁ ca karttavyaṁ ca viśeaṣataḥ ||
tattaddanopacāreṇa rogahīnaḥ prajāyate || 44 ||

especially, eating food only once on Mondays is worth doing. By performing (the above said)
the danas and remedial measures, the native will be free from ailments.

भौमेनक्तंच कर्त्तव्यं पुत्रार्थे विधिसंयुतम्॥

कविनाच कृतः प्रश्नो भृगुना परिभषितः॥ ४५॥
bhaumenaktaṁca karttavyaṁ putrārthe vidhisaṁyutam ||
kavināca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛgunā paribhaṣitaḥ || 45 ||

If one desires a son, he has to eat only in the nights (i.e, fast in the morning) after seeing the
stars on Tuesdays. Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra’s question.

dharme krūrā ripukṣetre karme pāpāḥ parethavā ||
chidre vā bhavane pāpāḥ krūraibhraṣṭaṁ sutaṁ gṛham || 46 ||

Yatu-Dhanya yoga is formed when 9th house, 6th and 10th houses have malefics, or 8th house,
4thhouse have malefics and malefics have afflicted the 5th house.

यातु धान्ये सदा दोषः पूर्वं गोत्रवधः कृतः॥

yātu dhānye sadā doṣaḥ pūrvaṁ gotravadhaḥ kṛtaḥ ||
tena pāpānusāreṇa sutahīnaḥ prajāyate || 47 ||

The native, in his past life was an evil spirit, always committing sins and poisoned the food of
his clansmen (or people of his own lineage) causing their death. Because of this sin, in the
present life he will not have sons,

अथवा जायथे कुष्टी राजरोगी तथा भवेत्॥

कृपणो दुष्टवित्तश्च कृतघ्नो निर्गुणः खलः॥ ४८॥
athavā jāyathe kuṣṭī rājarogī tathā bhavet ||
kṛpaṇo duṣṭavittaśca kṛtaghno nirguṇaḥ khalaḥ || 48 ||

or he will be born with leprosy or tuberculosis. He will be a miser, will earn money by evil
means, and will be ungrateful, worthless and wicked.

गर्भोत्पत्तौ भवेत् कष्टं स्त्रीयोऽपि पुरुषस्य च॥

गर्भस्रावो भवेत्तस्य जातोवापि न जीवति॥ ४९॥
garbhotpattau bhavet kaṣṭaṁ strīyo'pi puruṣasya ca ||
garbhasrāvo bhavettasya jātovāpi na jīvati || 49 ||

(Because of this yoga) in both men and women there will be destruction of offspring. There
will be abortions or even if the child is born, he will not survive.
 पापात्मा दुष्टकर्मा च एतच्चिह्नयुतो नरः॥

pāpātmā duṣṭakarmā ca etaccihnayuto naraḥ ||
brahma hatyādi pāpānicakārāsau gotrahā || 50 ||

The person will be a sinner, will do evil deeds and bear the mark. He will commit sins like
Brahma hatya (killing a Brahmin), go to prison and will be responsible for extinction of his
lineage.

Sanskrit Editor’s comment: I think the mark itself is being born with Leprosy or contracting
Tuberculosis.

सुरामांसाशनोद्वेषी रौरवं नरकं ययौ॥

क्षेत्रे मृतानां गोदानं कृतं तेन कुलोद्भव॥ ५१॥
surāmāṁsāśanodveṣī rauravaṁ narakaṁ yayau ||
kṣetre mṛtānāṁ godānaṁ kṛtaṁ tena kulodbhava || 51 ||

He will consume liquor, eat meat, will be a hater, and will go to raurava hell. By donating
lands and cows, the native will get sons.

Sanskrit Editor’s comment: The donations indicated seem to be land for

crematorium (क्षेत्रे मृतानां)and Cows. This is so as he is said to have killed the
clansmen in previous his previous life.

आदिमध्यावसाने तु सौख्यं समद चित्तता॥

ādimadhyāvasāne tu saukhyaṁ samada cittatā ||

The native will be in a continuous state of excitation, intoxication and

passionate on account of consuming liquor. Also, he will be happy in the
beginning, middle and later part of his life.

kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham ||

(for relief) what Japas, Pujas and Danas should be performed and what
medicines should be taken?

भृगुरुवाच॥

Bhrigu said,

रीतिं वा ताम्रपात्रं वा चतुर्दशपलोद्भवम्॥ ८७॥

rītiṁ vā tāmrapātraṁ vā caturdaśapalodbhavam || 87 ||
 Take either Brass (peetal) or Copper plate of fourteen palas (a
measurement of weight) weight.

कृत्वा तस्मिन्प्रकर्तव्यं चन्दनान्नवमंडलम्॥

तपस्विरूपं तन्मध्ये कृत्वा पूजां च कारयेत्॥ ८८॥
kṛtvā tasminprakartavyaṁ candanānnavamaṁḍalam ||
tapasvirūpaṁ tanmadhye kṛtvā pūjāṁ ca kārayet || 88 ||

(in the above plate) draw fresh (new) nine circles (diagram) with sandal
paste, draw an acetic’s figure in the middle (of the 9 circles) and perform
Puja.

ऊर्णा पट्टं च वर्द्धेतपुटाद्वादश कारयेत्॥

Make a mat by folding a woollen cloth twelve times, sit on it and chant
Rudra Mantra 27 times (9 x 3).

द्विसहस्रं चरेजप्यं ततः पुण्यं समाचरेत्॥

भद्रान्नहाटकाः सप्त तिलान्नस्यापिसप्तच॥ ९०॥
dvisahasraṁ carejapyaṁ tataḥ puṇyaṁ samācaret ||
bhadrānnahāṭakāḥ sapta tilānnasyāpisaptaca || 90 ||

The person should, after completing the (above said) Japa 2000 times,
perform the same amount of religious ceremonies (punyam). He has to
take seven gold plates of good rice grains and also rice cooked with
seseme,

मुहुर्गोधूम माषान्नतंडुलं तैलसंयुतम्॥

प्रस्थद्वयं प्रदातव्यं मुद्रा अष्टोतरं शतम्॥ ९१॥
muhurgodhūma māṣānnataṁḍulaṁ tailasaṁyutam ||
prasthadvayaṁ pradātavyaṁ mudrā aṣṭotaraṁ śatam || 91 ||
 (and along with the above) The person should often donate wheat, rice
grains, rice cooked with blackgram along with oil equal to the weight of
two prasthas (a measure of capacity: 1 prastha = 32 palas) along with
108 coins.

एतद्दानानुसारेण चिंताकष्टं विनश्यति॥

etaddāanānusāreṇa ciṁtākaṣṭaṁ vinaśyati ||
dānābhāve mahākaṣṭaṁ putrairapi dhanairapi || 92 ||

In accordance to the sincerity with which the Danas (donations) are

performed, the person’s grieves, worries will perish. In the absence Danas
(donations), he will face huge worries from children and also on account of
finances.

कविना च कृतः प्रश्नो भृगुणा परिभाषितः॥ ९३॥

saṁtāneśo ripukṣetre ṣaṣṭhāṣṭadvādaśe'pare ||
suteśaḥ krūrasaṁyukto'thavā krūreṇa vīkṣitaḥ || 94 ||
 Vijaya yoga is formed when the 5th lord is in an enemy’s rasi or is in
6th, 8th or 12th house, and if he is in conjunction with or is aspected by
malefics.

पूर्वं सगर्भा हरिणी मारिता मृगसंयुता॥

एतद्विजययोगेन रक्षिता हरिणी सुता॥ ९५॥
pūrvaṁ sagarbhā hariṇī māritā mṛgasaṁyutā ||
etadvijayayogena rakṣitā hariṇī sutā || 95 ||

In the past, a pregnant deer was killed along with the male deer. However,
because of vijaya yoga the baby deer was saved.

न भवंति सुतास्तस्य जाता जीवंति नैवच॥

कन्याद्वयं त्रयं वापि जायते नात्र संशयः॥ ९६॥
na bhavaṁti sutāstasya jātā jīvaṁti naīvaca ||
kanyādvayaṁ trayaṁ vāpi jāyate nātra saṁśayaḥ || 96 ||

The native with Vijaya yoga will definitely have either two or three female
issues. Any more than that, they will not survive.

आदौ पुत्री ततः पुत्रस्ततः पुत्री प्रजायते॥

शेषे गर्भे भवेत्तस्य गर्भस्रावो न संशयः॥ ९७॥
ādau putrī tataḥ putrastataḥ putrī prajāyate ||
śeṣe garbhe bhavettasya garbhasrāvo na saṁśayaḥ || 97 ||

To the native, first a girl child followed by a boy child and then a girl child
will be born. Without doubt for the rest (of the pregnancies) there will be
miscarriages.

शुक्र उवाच॥
śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,
 किं जाप्यं कस्य पूजा च किं दानं च किमौषधम्॥

What japas, pujas and danas should be done as remedies and what
medicines should be taken (to overcome the above)?

भृगुरुवाच॥
bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu told,

रीतिं वा ताम्रपात्रंच पलं चैव चतुर्दशम्॥९८॥

rītiṁ vā tāmrapātraṁca palaṁ caiva caturdaśam || 98 ||

Take a brass or copper plate (vessel) weighing 14 palas.

strīkaṁṭhe dhārayennityaṁbhaktayātu ravivāsare ||
etaddānoopacāreṇa ciraṁ tiṣṭhati saṁtatiḥ || 104 ||
 The wife (of the native) should wear that yantra always in her neck
starting from a Sunday onwards. By doing (the above said) the danas and
remedies, the native will definitely have long lived children.

गर्भकाले तु कर्तव्यं दानं विप्राय यत्रतः॥

दानाभावे भवेच्चिंता पुत्रैरपि धनैरपि॥ १०५॥
garbhakāle tu kartavyaṁ dānaṁ viprāya yatrataḥ ||
dānābhāve bhavecciṁtā putrairapi dhanairapi || 105 ||

During the time of pregnancy, the native should keep giving danas
(donations) to Brahmanas. By not giving the donations, he will face
difficulties and worries on account of children and wealth (riches).

दानतः प्राप्यते पुत्रो बुद्धिमांश्च समृद्धिमान्॥

dānataḥ prāpyate putro buddhimāṁśca samṛddhimān ||

By performing danas (donations), the native will get a son who is wise and
prosperous.

karmeśaḥ krūrasaṁyuktaḥ krūrakṣetre'thavāpare ||
tṛtīyeṣṭeripauvāpi ānandoyogaucyate || 107 ||

Ananda yoga is formed when the 10th lord is conjunct with malefics and
placed in rasis owned by malefics, or occupies 3 rdor 6th or 12th houses.

पूर्वंक्षेत्रशतंकृत्वा गोशतं च समर्पितम्॥

On account of performing auspicious religious deeds and donating 100

farms and 100 cows in the past life, the native in the present life will be
born as a Maharaja.

धीमानथोविशालाक्षो बहुधान्यंयुतोभवेत्॥

dhīmānathoviśālākṣo bahudhānyaṁyutobhavet ||
gauraścacapalovaktādātādarśīchalotkaṭaḥ || 109 ||

The native will be knowledgeable, wise, have large eyes and have plentiful
grains. He will have reddish complexion and is fickle minded. He is a good
orator, donor, visionary, and largely deceitful.

अकस्मात्तभवेंत्क्रोधीपुनः शीघ्रोपशांतिमान् ॥

navāramaṁḍalasyāgrepadmanābha tribījakam ||
dvisahasraṁ japejāpyaṁ tataḥ puṇyaṁ samacaret || 114 ||

On top of a navara (a high number) mandala, draw a Padmanabha tribeeja

mantra. Chant the same mantra for 2000 times, and later perform
religious ceremonies (punya) of equal number.

Editor’s comment: Navara would mean one that is not enclosed. The very
word mandala following negates this. I think there is some misprint in the
text. The original word may be trivara, indicating three mandalas

सप्तविंशतितारंच षड्विंशति च हाटकम्

paṁcāśatkaravastraṁ ca gāṁcasadvatsa saṁyutam ||
saptānnaṁprasthapasthaṁ ca vipredānaṁsamācaret || 116 |
 To the Brahman also donate fifty karas (a particular measure of length
equal to 24 thumbs) of cloth and a cow along with its calf. Also donate 7
cereals measuring a prastha (capacity equal to 32 palas).

त्रिपुरारेस्ततोमन्त्रैर्गोघृतंमंत्रयेत्सुधीः॥

Later let a pundit purify cow ghee with ‘Tripurari’ mantra for three
successive days. After the end of the japa, donate gold coins to 6
Acharyas continually for 3 days.

एतद्दानोपचारेण संतानंप्राप्यतेध्रुवम्॥
etaddānopacāreṇa saṁtānaṁprāpyatedhruvam ||

By doing (the above said) the danas and remedies, the native will
definitely have children.

Purify the yantra by cleansing it with beeja mantra japa. By performing

(the same) the remedies and the danas, the native, will be free from
diseases.

अचिरेणैवकालेन पुत्रलाभादितः सुखम्॥

In a short duration, the native will begin to get happiness and children.
By not giving the donations, he will face difficulties and worries on
account of children and wealth (riches).

Preface to 3rd Part

What must be re-iterated is the base of any horoscope is yogas which
determine the real power of a horoscope. The base of any yoga is the
action committed in past life, this is mere lip service and so far astrologers
have done nothing to understanding the basis of how each yoga is
formed. Bhrighu Yogavali is one of those first manuscripts to give the past
life karma behind each yoga, something our seniors could never get hold
of. The most important part here is to understand the basis each yoga and
this can be attempted by understanding the past life karma given by the
Maharishi, this valuable part has been missing in yogas for thousands of
years and hence we are unable to say the reason/karma behind a
Mahabhagya yoga or a Gajakeshari yoga. Readers are requested to read
the Damini Yoga results in the following pages. - SA

॥ अथ पिंगल योग फलम्॥

|| atha piṁgala yoga phalam ||

Result of Pingala yoga.

सौम्या लग्ने धने कर्मे क्रूराद्यूने सुतेयदा॥

नीचोज्जेवाधनेलग्ने योगोयं पिंगलोभवेत्॥ १२२॥
saumyā lagne dhane karme krūrādyūne suteyadā ||
nīcojjevādhanelagne yogoyaṁ piṁgalobhavet || 122||

Pingala yoga is formed when benefics occupy Lagna, 2 nd, or

10th houses and when malefics occupy 7th house or 5th house, or are in
their debilitation or exaltation rasis which happen to be either Lagna or
2nd house.

तपस्वी निंदितःपूर्वे साध्वीस्त्री च कलंकिता॥

पात्रेदानंतुकृत्वावैपश्चात्तापः कृतः पुरा॥ १२३॥
tapasvī niṁditaḥpūrve sādhvīstrī ca kalaṁkitā ||
pātredānaṁtukṛtvāvaipaścāttāpaḥ kṛtaḥ purā || 123 ||
 The native (of this yoga) had abused an ascetic and defamed a virtuous
married lady (by seducing her) in his past life. However, later, repenting
his actions, he made donations to worthy (capable) people in the
sanctuary of a temple.

प्राप्यते च धनंधान्यंक्षणेवृद्धिः क्षणेक्षयः॥

बाल्येचलभतेदुःखंपित्ताधिक्यं च जायते॥ १२४॥
prāpyate ca dhanaṁdhānyaṁkṣaṇevṛddhiḥ kṣaṇekṣayaḥ ||
bālyecalabhateduḥkhaṁpittādhikyaṁ ca jāyate || 124 ||

(on account of the above) the native in his present life will sometimes
experience gain of wealth, grains and sometimes loss of the same. He will
be born with bilious nature (pitta) and will be sad in his childhood.

तस्यदुःखंसुतात्स्त्रीतः प्रभवेन्नसुखंक्वचित्॥
tasyaduḥkhaṁsutātstrītaḥ prabhavennasukhaṁkvacit ||

Because of this yoga, the native will not be happy and will face sorrows on
account of children and wife.

शुक्र उवाच॥
śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

किं जाप्यं कस्य पूजा च किं दानं च किमौषधम्॥ १२५॥

kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 125 ||

“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should
be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

भृगुरुवाच॥
bhṛguruvāca ||
 Bhrigu said,

शनेस्त्रीणिशिखेःपंचसहस्रं जपमाचरेत्॥

śanestrīṇiśikheḥpaṁcasahasraṁ japamācaret ||
Bpātraṁpalaṁtriṁśaccaṁdanairnavamaṁḍalam || 126 ||

(The native should) perform japa to Saturn 3000 times and Ketu 5000
times each.
Take a brass vessel weighing 30 palas (a particular weight equal to 4
Karsas) and draw nine circles (nava mandala) in the center with
sandalwood paste,

ऊर्णापट्टंहरिद्वर्णे चतुर्विंशत्पुटीकृतम्॥
तस्योपरिसमासीनःपूर्वोक्तंजपमाचरेत्॥ १२७॥
ūrṇāpaṭṭaṁharidvarṇe caturviṁśatpuṭīkṛtam ||
tasyoparisamāsīnaḥpūrvoktaṁjapamācaret || 127 ||

fold a yellow coloured woollen cloth 24 times sit on it and perform the
above said japa (in front of that mandala).

जपांतेचकृतंपुण्यंषट्कद्वादशहाटकम्॥
रजतंद्विगुणंदेयंशय्याभव्याविचित्रिता॥ १२८॥
japāṁtecakṛtaṁpuṇyaṁṣaṭkadvādaśahāṭakam ||
rajataṁdviguṇaṁdeyaṁśayyābhavyāvicitritā || 128 ||

After completion of the japas, donate 72 (12 x 6) gold coins and double
quantity of silver coins along with a magnificently variegated cot (bed).

सप्तान्नंप्रस्थप्रस्थं च वस्त्रंहस्तांश्चतुर्दश॥
पंचरत्नसमायुक्तंदद्याच्चैवनसंशयः॥ १२९॥
saptānnaṁprasthaprasthaṁ ca vastraṁhastāṁścaturdaśa ||
paṁcaratnasamāyuktaṁdadyāccaivanasaṁśayaḥ || 129 ||
Also donate 7 cereals measuring a prastha (capacity equal to 32 palas),
cloth measuring 14 hasthas (1 hastha equals 24 angulas – about 18
inches) and 5 gems without doubt.

एतद्दानंप्रकर्त्तव्यंयदर्हःश्रूयतेध्रुवम्॥
एतद्दानप्रभावेणसर्वसिद्धिर्नसंशयः॥ १३०॥
etaddānaṁprakarttavyaṁyadarhaḥśrūyatedhruvam ||
etaddānaprabhāveṇasarvasiddhirnasaṁśayaḥ || 130 ||

The above donations should be given to a worthy (deserving) recipient

after listening about them. By doing so, the native’s desires will certainly
be fulfilled.

त्रिजन्मनिमहादुःखंदानाभावेपुनःपुनः॥
जपाभावेमहत्कष्टंप्राणैरपिधनैरपि॥ १३१॥
trijanmanimahāduḥkhaṁdānābhāvepunaḥpunaḥ ||
japābhāvemahatkaṣṭaṁprāṇairapidhanairapi || 131 ||

The native in the next 3 births, will face great sorrows by not performing
the (above said) danas again and again. By not performing the (above
said) japas, he will face worries on account of health and finances.

कविना च कृतः प्रश्नो भृगुणा परिभाषितः॥ १३२॥

kavinā ca kṛtaḥ praśno bhṛguṇā paribhāṣitaḥ || 132 ||

Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra’s question.

इतिपिंगलयोगफलम्॥
itipiṁgalayogaphalam ||

End of Pingala yoga phalam.

॥ अथ विफल योग फलम्॥

|| atha viphala yoga phalam ||
 Result of Viphala[1] yoga.

सुतपेशत्रुक्षेत्रे च दुष्टेक्रूरेऽथवापिच॥
शत्रुक्षेत्रेयदाजीवःसंततिर्म्रियतेध्रुवम्॥ १३३॥
sutapeśatrukṣetre ca duṣṭekrūre'thavāpica ||
śatrukṣetreyadājīvaḥsaṁtatirmriyatedhruvam || 133 ||

If 5th lord is a malefic or is placed in a rasi owned by a malefic or in a

malefic house, and Jupiter is placed in rasis owned by malefics, the
children of that native will definitely die[2],

इत्येवंविफलोयोगोभवत्येवनसंशयः॥
स्थाप्याहरणयोगेनब्राह्मणस्य च पूर्वतः॥ १३४॥
ityevaṁviphaloyogobhavatyevanasaṁśayaḥ ||
sthāpyāharaṇayogenabrāhmaṇasya ca pūrvataḥ || 134 ||

this (the above said) happens to be called Viphala yoga. It is formed

because the native in his past life, stole a deposit made by a Brahmin.

तेनपापेनवैपुत्रसंतानोपहतोभवेत्॥
tenapāpenavaiputrasaṁtānopahatobhavet ||

On account of this yoga, the native (in the present life) will not have
children and even if he has children, they will be slain.

शुक्र उवाच॥
śukra uvāca ||

Sukra asked,

किं जाप्यं कस्य पूजा च किं दानं च किमौषधम्॥ १३५॥

kiṁ jāpyaṁ kasya pūjā ca kiṁ dānaṁ ca kimauṣadham || 135 ||
“What Japas, Pujas and danas (donations) (as remedial measures) should
be performed and what medicines should be taken?”

भृगुरुवाच॥
bhṛguruvāca ||

Bhrigu said,

रीतिपात्रेनपुत्रकारयेन्नवमंडलम्॥
विप्रमूर्तिचतन्मध्येकारयेच्चंदनेनच॥ १३६॥
rītipātrenaputrakārayennavamaṁḍalam ||
vipramūrticatanmadhyekārayeccaṁdanenaca || 136 ||

My son, take a brass vessel and draw a nava (new) mandala in the center.
In the middle of the mandala, draw a figure of a Brahmin with sandalwood
paste.

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: May be in the 1st line, ‘रीतिपात्रेन’ should

be ‘रीतीपात्रेनवे’ (“nave” in place of “na”). In astrology ‘Putra’ also
means 5, and hence “nave putra” could also mean 59, perhaps weight of
the brass vessel.

 Later deposit 569 gold coins and double quantity of silver coins to be
donated along with 14 pearls.[3]

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: I think there is misprint in the first line,

maybe it should be “ततःस्थापनिकादेयानषट् पंचहाटकम्॥” meaning 6 x 5 = 30
gold coins instead of 569 gold coins.

Donate a good horse and a good bull to venerable Brahmins by saying

prayers and later honour (worship) the nephew (sister’s son),

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: the donations have to be given to more

than 2 brahmins, perhaps 6 as the donations are primarily in multiples of
6.

The native should also donate a cow along with its calf with faith. Later he
should wear a ‘Padmanabha’ yantra on the hand above the elbow (below
the shoulder).

Sanskrit Editor’s Comment: “Parshva” also means the waist, so this

could mean one should tie the yantra around the waist

Thus answered Bhrigu to Sukra’s question.

इति शूलयोग फलम्॥

iti śūlayoga phalam ||

End of Shula yoga phalam.

[1] Viphala means fruitless. Which may also means bereft of children who are considered to be the
fruit of married life. – Guru Rajesh (GR)

[2] The meaning of Satru Kshetra is position in an inimical sign. Thus the above sloka means that the
5th lord should be placed in an inimical sign, or in a malefic sign or in a malefic house and at the same
time Jupiter should occupy his inimical signs, which means the signs of Venus and Mercury. - GR

[3] What is important to note here is that for the first time we find remedial measures for each yoga, the
karma done in the past life to beget it in this life. Readers will observe the intricate manner of remedial
measure and the number of remedial measure given, something you would not find even Parampara
(tradional) Jyotish Gurus prescribing today. It is important to realize what we do not know, then humility
and subsequently further learning sets in. - SA

[4] ‘Ritvamte Strisu datavyam’ here has a different meaning. Ritu is the period when the
egg will be released in the women which is considered as the period fit for coitus by the
dharmasastras. Hence giving the Sri Phalam (here translated as coconut…may also mean
the fruit of bilva tree) in this period will ensure successful fertilization and pregnancy.
According to the mantrasastras maya mantram is ‘Hreem’.- GR
[5] A lesser known fact among jyotish scholars is which are those yogas, if unhealed slowly destroy the
effectiveness of even some good yogas present in the chart. The base of every horoscope is Yogas and
not Dasas, most authors unearth 100s of dasas but if you ask them to quote the names of 50 yogas they
can’t whereas it is said that there are more than 100,000 yogas (a maharashtrian astrologer had written
a book on it) . The need of the hour is for Jyotish organizations & publications to invest in projects to
unearth rare materials on Yogas, something no Jyotish institution has done in the last 100 years inspite
of hefty amounts of donation. A one million dollar donation in USA to a Jyotish organization has produced
not even a single material/book of our ancient Jyotish literature, lakhs of Rupees of donation to a famous
jyotish magazine from north of india has resulted in not even a single material of jyotish literature
coming out for the common astrologer. If organizations do not understand their role in shaping
astrological thinking then jyotish is doomed and will deteriorate, as it has happened in India in the last 25
years where astrology is taught in classroom culture with no emphasis for classical reading, the only
emphasis is the notes of the classes. Instead of astrology being a karma oriented shastra it has now
become ‘will I win the election’ shastra at the hands of astrologers who are hungry for media fame. An
astrologer was more respected 25 years back than now, self promoting heads of jyotish organizations are
the culprits of this decay in astrology.- SA

[6] Here also the sloka means that the medicine should be given to the women after her ritu
snanam.- GR
[7] ‘Sukhamadhyepyudaasati’ means the native though placed amongst many comforts
will be moody and melancholic.- GR
[8] Read verse 159 and understand the result of karma of treachery against a friend, the Maharishi says
such a one will become bereft of wealth, will face worries on account of children, this gives us some clue
as to how karma is being operated upon. Now see verse 158, 157 and see why 4L in bad houses or with
a malefic the Maharishi is saying treachery against a friend, the reason is since 4H is close friends and
not 11H as taught all over India and in foreign jyotish courses. We have 2 years back in our editorials
mentioned with the Parasara shloka (chapter 11/12 Verse 4) that Parasara talks about 4H as friend and
so does Chandra Kala Nadi/Deva Kerelam yet this has been ignored by most Jyotishis including Jyotish
Gurus. 11H is ones network of contacts whereas close friends are always close to ones heart (4H) as
ones mother (4H) is naturally close to ones heart. There is difference between philosophical heart and
physical heart as an organ. That’s the reason some take 5H as the physical organ and 4h as the spiritual
heart center as Mother is close to ones heart always and Mother (4H) cannot be in the 12 th of losses from
ones heart. Another way to look at is one uses sweet talk/PR to deal with ones contacts (11H) for ones
gains (11H) whereas with ones mother (4H) and close friends (4H) one is always direct and there is no PR
involved.- SA

[9] These two slokas 165 & 166 seem to be referring to some code words. ‘Ramam cha lakshmanam
Naagam godugdhena samanvitam’ when translated literally mean take Rama and lakshmana and naaga
along with cow’s milk. This may be a code word for any ayurvedic preparation - GR

[10] ‘Gajayoge bhavet putro’ means the native with gajayoga will have a son respected
by king and powerful. The native will also be respected, having angry disposition, long
life and many sons. - GR
[11] ‘Turyaste bhe subhaasubhaah’ means both malefics and benefics should occupy the
4th and 7th houses, besides Moon with a malefic in the ascendant. There is no mention of
Venus here. - GR
[12] Here ‘Saumya Kshetre’ may also mean any benefic sign - GR

[13] ‘Guru Yogaat sukham bhavet’ may also indicate that because of the presence of
Jupiter in the 9th house, the remedial measures will give fruit and he will be happy. - GR
[14] ‘Neecha satru gruhe guruh’ means Jupiter occupying either debilitation sign or inimical signs. - GR

[15] ‘Chidra’ actually means the 8th house. It is not 6th house. - GR
