                                                    अध्याय 3 : CHAPTER 3  
                                                                                      
In this chapter Manthreswara deals with DIVISIONS OF A SIGN CALLED  वर्गविभागः (VARGA VIBHAAGAH).
“ ll क्षेत्रत्रिभागनवभागदशांशहोरात्रिंशांशसप्तलवषष्टिलवाःकलांशा l
   द्वादशांशासहिता दशावर्गसंज्ञा वर्गोत्तमो निजनिजे भवने नवांशः ll  1.
The following are the ten-fold division of the ZODIAC which are known as दश वर्ग (DASHA VARGHA) :-
1) RAASI – Each Raasi of 30 Degrees  2. HORA 3. DREKKANA  4. THRIMSHAAMSA.  5. SAPTHAMAAMSA.  6. NAVAAMSA (7) DASHAAMSHA  (8.)  DWAADASHAAMSHA  (9)  SHASHTYAAMSHA (10) Kalaamsham
(1) SKSHETHRA (क्षेत्र = राशी) An arc of 30 Degrees (രാശി, ராசி)
(2) HORA (होरा) two parts of a RAASHI ( രാശിയുടെ രണ്ടു അര്‍ദ്ധങ്ങള്‍ ഹോര, ராசியை ஒரேமாதிரி இரண்டாக வகுத்தது ஹோரை)
(3) DREKKAANA (द्रेक्काण) (ദ്രെക്കാണം) (த்றேக்காணம்) : Three Equal Parts of a KSHETHRA (राशी – രാശി – ராசி) of 10 degrees each.
 (4) THRIMSHAAMSHAM (त्रिंशांशः) (തൃംശാശം,திரும்சாம்சம்)  1/30th Portion of an arc of 1 Degree.
(5) SAPTHAMAAMSA (सप्तमांश) – (സപ്തമാംശം – ஸப்தமாம்சம்) 1/7th portion of a sign in other words an arc of 4 2/7 Degrees.
(6) Navaamsha (नवांश) – (നവാംശം, நவாம்சம்) an arc of 3 1/3 Degrees
 (7) Dashaamsha ( दशांश) – (ദശാംശം, தசாம்சம்) An arc of 3 Degrees or 1/10th of a Raasi
(8) dwaadashaamsam (द्वादशांशं) – (ദ്വാദശാംശം , த்வாதசாம்சம்) -1/12th portion of a Raasi 0r 2 ½ Degrees of an arc.
(9) Shashtyamsham (षष्ट्यम्शं) – (ഷഷ്ട്യംശം, ஷஷ்ட்யம்சம்) an arc of ½ Degrees in a sign or 1/60th portion of a sign.
(10) Kalaamsham (കലാംശം, கலாம்சம்) 1/16th portion of a sign or an arc of 1 7/8 portion of an arc.
VARGOTHAMA (वर्गोत्तम) – (വര്‍ഗോത്തമം, வர்கோத்தமம்) The name given to the particular NAVAAMSHA in a RAASI which bears the same name of the  of the RAASI itself.
SHAD VARGHA ( षड्वर्घ ) – ( ഷഡ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗം, ஷட்வர்க்கம் )
“ ll दशांशषष्ट्यंशकलांशहीनास्ते सप्तवर्गाश्र्च विसप्तमांशाः l
  षड्वर्गसंज्ञास्त्वध राशिभावतुल्यं नवांशस्य फलं हि केचित् ll “   2
If we omit from the said ten  VARGAS Dashaamsha, Shashtyamsha and Khalaamsha  the remaining 7 Vargas are named as Saptha Vargas and if we remove from the SAPTHA VARGAS, SAPTHAAMSHA then the remaining  6 Vargas are known as SHAD VARGAS.
Some experts opine that the effect of emanating from NAVAMMSHA,  in effect is  similar to that  of RASI OR BHAAVA.
ll क्षेत्रेषु पूर्णमुदितं फलमन्यवर्गेष्पर्द्ध कलादशमषष्टिलवेषु पादम् l
   बालःकुमारतरुणौ प्रवया मृतः पड्भागःक्रमाधुजि विपर्ययमित्यवस्थाः 3.
The effect is full in RAASI; it is 1/4th in Dashaamsha and ShaShtyaMsha vargas and in other Vargas the effect is Half. The planets are said to be in infancy (बाल), boyhood (कौमार) in adolescence (तरुणं), in middle age and in very old age i.e. nearing death as per First 6 Degrees,Second six degrees, third six degrees , fourth 6 Degrees and the last 6 degrees of a sign( राशि)  respectively  when in odd signs and when  in even signs this should be considered in reverse order.
 NOTE :- MESHA, MITHUNA, SIMHA, THULA, DHANUS. KUMBHA are ODD SIGNS and
 VRISHBHA, KARKKITAKA, KANYA, VRISCHIKA, MAKARA, MEENA are EVEN SIGNS
“ ll क्षेत्रस्यार्द्धं हि होरा त्वयुजि रविसुधंश्र्वोः समे व्यस्तमेतद्
   द्रेष्काणेशास्त्रिभागैस्तनुसुतशुभपाद्ववव्दद्वादशांशस्तु लग्तात् l
      भौमार्कीडयज्ञशुक्राः शिशुजसमलवा ह्योजभे युग्मभे तद् –
   व्यस्तं त्रिंशांशनाथाःक्रियनकरतुलाकर्कटाधा नवांशः ll “   4.
The meaning of HORA (होरा) is half of a sign or RAASI (राशि); In Odd sign (ओज) the the first half is RAVI and the second half is CHANDRA and in Even sign (युग्म) the first half is that of the CHANDRA and the second Half is that of RAVI.
In DREKKANA,(द्रेक्काणं) or the third portion of a SIGN (राशि), the ownership belong to the sign itself of the son’s, the 5thhouse or the 9th house or any GOOD SIGN or शुभ राशि.
In DWDASAMASHA i.e 1/12th portion of a sign (RAASI is to be calculated from the same RAASI.
IN THRIMSHAMSHA When in ODD (ओज राशि) SIGNS , MARS (कुज), SATURN (शनि), JUPITER (गुरु). MERCURY (बुध) and VENUS (शुक्र) are to be reckoned from 5th Degree, 5th Degree 8th Degree, 7th Degree and 5th Degree respectively. When in EVEN (युग्म राशि) SIGNS the above said PLANETS (ग्रह) are to be reckoned from 5th, 7th,8th, 5th and 5th Degrees.
The first NAVAAMSHA (नवांश) from मेष (ARIES) onwards to मीन (Pisces) begins from मेष (ARIES), मकर (CAPRICORN), तुला (LIBRA) and कर्क्कटक (CANCER), respectively. In other words this will be repeated after CANCER SIGN in the same order.
 “ ll यज्ञं रत्न जनं धनं नय पटं रूपं शुकं चेटिना
   नागं योग खगं बलं भग शिला धूलिर्नवं प्रस्वनम् l
   लाभं विश्र्व दिवं कुशं रम धमं षष्ट्यंशश्र्चौजभे
   क्रूराख्याः समभेविपर्ययामिदं शेस्तुषा सौभ्या ह्वयाः ll “   5.
In an ODD SIGNS ( ओज राशि) the 1/60th portion (क्रूर षष्ट्यंश) are the 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th , 15th, 18th, 30th, 31st. 32nd, 33rd, 34th  35th,39th ,40th, 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 48th, 51st, 52nd and 59th.  THE REST ARE PROPITIOUS or SOUMYA (सौम्य) .
 IN EVEN SIGNS the SHASTYAMSHA PORTION stated as UNPROPITIOUS ARE PROPITIOUS ( SOUMYA)  AND those given as PROPITIOUS (सौम्य)  are IMPROPITIOUS.(क्रूर).
“ ll स्वात् सप्तांशदशांशकौ तु विषमे युग्मेतु कामाच्छुभात्
   स्वादीशाच्श्र कालांशषा विधिहरिशार्काः समर्क्षेऽन्याया l
     ख्यातैः कोणयुतैस्त्रीकोणभवनस्वर्क्षेच्चकेन्द्रोत्तमै –
   र्व’र्गाःसप्त दशा त्रयोदशमिता वर्गाः प्रदिष्टाः परैः ll “   6.
The सप्थमांश or 1/7th  portion in case of ODD SIGN(ओज राशि) regularly  to be counted from the RAASI itself and in the case of युग्म राशि (EVEN SIGN) from the 7th House,
In the case of दशांश or 1/10th portion  when in ODD SIGN (ओज राशि) counted  from the RAASI itself and if in EVEN SIGN (युग्म राशि) should be counted from the 9th Raasi onwards.
In the case of षोडशांश or 1/16th portion of a SIGN in ODD SIGN the Lords are when in ODD SIGNS, the first 4 divisions are  presided by  BRAHMA, VISHNU , HARA AND RAVI, and the remaining are allotted to the 12 signs counted from the sign itself  and in the case of Even Signs  it is to be counted in reverse order.
It is to be noted that the auspicious part of great excellence is to be seen from planet’s position , whether the planet is positioned in KENDRA or in English ANGULAR HOUSE, TRIKONA (TRINE) , THE PLANET’S OWN HOUSE OR RAASI MOOLATRIKONA i.e. the position Similar to its own position of exaltation( उच्च स्थिति), in its own or Vargothama ( IF A PLANET IS IN THE SAME SIGN BOTH IN RAASI AND NAVAMSA CHARTS) .A VARGOTHAMA LAGNA IS WHEN LAGNA IS IN THE SAME SIGN BOTH IN RASI AND VAVAMSA., and scrutinize it with SAPTHA VARGAS from 7 and from 10 in case of DASA VARGAS. SOME ASTROLOGERS CHECK WITH 13 VARGAS.
“ ll वर्गान्योजयतु त्रयोदश सुहृत्स्वर्क्षोच्चभेषु क्रमाद् –
   द्विस्त्रिःपञ्च चतुर्नवाद्रिवसुपट्संख्यासु वर्गैक्यातः l
   प्राहुच्श्रोत्तमपारिजातकथितौ सिंहासनं गोपुरं
   चेत्यैरावतदेवलोकसुरलोकंशांच्श्र पारावतम् ll “    7.
considering a planet’s position with reference to 13 vargas whether it is in the planet’s friend’s Raasi, or in the planet’s own house (RAASI) or in the Plant’s exaltation position we will get the following types of VAISHESHIKAAMSHAS :-
(a) The combination of two vargas is called PAARIJAATHA (पारिजात).,
(b)  The combination of three vargas is called UTHTHAMA (उत्तम).,
(c)   4 Vargas when combined is GOPURA (गोपुर).,
(d)  The combination of 5 Vargas is SIMHAASANA (सिंहासन).,
(e)  When 6 Vargas combine it is called PAARAAVATHA (पारावत).,
(f)  The union of 7 vargas is called DEVALOKA (देवलोक).,
Ig) The combination of 8 Vargas is called SURALOKA (सुरलोक) and
(h) When 9 vargas combine it is called AIRAAVATHA (ऐरावत).
The results of the planets when in the above given VAISHESHIKAAMSHAS are given in the next two stanzas by MANTHRESWARA as follows :-
“ ll आरानल्पगुणार्थसौख्यविभवान्यःपारिजातांशकः
   स्वाचारं विनयान्वितं च निपुणं यधुत्तमांशे स्थितःl
   खेटो गोपुरभागगः शुभमस्वक्सेत्रगोमन्दिरं
   यः सिंहासनगो नृपेन्द्रदयितं भूपालतुल्यं नरम् ll “    8.
“ ll श्रेष्ठाश्वद्विपवाहनादि विभवं पारावताधिष्ठितः
   सत्कीर्ति यदि देवलोकसहितो भूमण्डलाधीश्र्वरम् l
   वन्धं भूपतिभिः सुरेन्द्रसदृशं त्वैरावतांशस्थितः
    सद्भाभाग्यं धनधान्यपुत्रसहितं भूपं विदध्याद्ग्रहः ll “   9.
SLOKA 8 – MEANING  : A planet is said to be blazing (
 (a) A native having one planet in PAARIJAATHAAMSHA (पारिजातांश) will make him respectable, will have good qualities, wealth, happiness, power and dignity.,

In the following Verse Manthreswara tells about the result , when in all the  Vargas and if in any of the Varga from 9, 8, 7. 6, 5, 4, 2 or 1 is weak :-
“ ll यद्वर्गेष्वखिलेषु मृत्युरबलेष्वत्राथ वक्ष्ये क्रमा –
   त्राशं दुःखमनर्थतां च विसुखं बन्धुप्रियं तद्वरम् l
   भूपेष्टं धनिनं नृपं नृपवरं वर्गे बलिष्टेऽखिले
      वर्धिष्णुं सुखिनं नृपं गदंमृति बालाधवस्थाफलम् ll “    10.
If at birth a planet is weak in all the 10 Vargas “DEATH” (मरणं) is predicted. If  9 Vargas are weak it denotes the DESTRUCTION to the native, If 8 Vargas are weak then it denotes GRIEF to the native.  In case of 7 Vargas the native will have to face lot of CALAMITIES.  If 6 Vargas are weak it denotes UNHAPPINESS to the native.  If 5 Vargas are weak the native WILL POUR LOVE ON HIS RELATIONS OR/AND VICE-VERSA.  If 4 Vargas are weak then the native will be the FOREMOSTIN THE FAMILY. In case 3 Vargas are weak then the native will become the FRIEND OF A KING OR A PERSON HOLDING SUCH A POSITION. In case only 2 Vargas are weak then the Native will be VERY WEALTHY. If only one Varga is weak then the native will be a KING or A PERSON OF SUCH STATUS.

If only one Varga is weak then the native will be a KING or A PERSON OF SUCH STATUS.
In case the planets are STRONG in all 10 VARGAS the native will become the Emperor ( King of Kings)
The effects of a planet in FOUR AVASTHA ( BAALYAM, KAUMAARAM, YAVVANAM, VAARDHAKYAM) (बाल्यं, कौमारं, यौवनं, वार्धक्यं) are (a) progrssive, (b) will achieve all happiness, (c) will be like a KING (d) ill-health and death respectively .
 “ ll षड्वर्गेषु शुभग्रहाधिकगुणैः श्रीमांश्र्चिरं जीवति
    क्रूरांशे बहुले विलग्रभवने दीनोऽल्पजीवः शठः l
    तत्राया बलिनो नृपोऽस्त्यथ नवांशेशोद्दगाणेश्ररो
    लग्नेशः क्रमशः सुखी नृपसमः क्षोणीपतिर्भाग्यवान् ll “ ...11  
  Meaning :-  The naive will become wealthy and long-lived as per the strength of the BENEFICS (शुभ ग्रहम्) in the Shad Vargas (षड् वर्गम्). If the Ascendant (लग्नम्) occupies KROORA AMSAs (क्रूरांशम्) in many SHAD VARGAS, the native will be poor, wicked natured and short lived. ,
If the lords of the Amsas are strong the the person will become a KING (or similar in status).,
If the Lord of the Ascendant in NAVAAMSHA (नवांशम्) is strong then the native will be joyful and happy throughout his life., 
If the Lord of the Ascendant in Drekkana is strong  the person will become similar to the King.,
And if the Lord of the Ascendant itself (rising Lagna Raashi) is strong the native will become an EMPEROR or RULER OF THE EARTH and will be enjoying life to its brim. with all fotunes.
“ ll ओजेक्रूरेऽर्कहोरां गतवति बलवान्  क्रूरवृत्तिर्धनाढ्थो
    युग्मे चान्द्रिं शुभेषु ध्युतिविनयपचोहृधसौभाग्ययुक्तः
    व्यस्तंऽत्र मिश्रे समफलमुदितं लग्नचान्द्रौ बलिष्ठौ
    तत्राथौ द्वौ च तव्दद्यदि भवति चिरंजिव्यदुःखि यशस्वी ll “....12
When a native’s birth the malefics (अशुभ ग्रहम्) are in odd signs (ओज राशि) fall in SUN’s (रवि) hora i.e in first 15 Degrees, he will be cruel in nature, strong and wealthy. When the Natve is born in Even (युग्म राशि) and in MOON’s Hora (चन्द्र होरा) ie. the first 15 degrees in DUEL SIGN (युग्म राशि) , he will be lustrous, will be mild while speaking, will be pleasing to all and highly graceful. If it is otherwise in both cases the effects will be also opposite.
If it is both malefics and benefics then the effect will also be mixed nature.
In the case of a native born with Ascendant (लग्न) and Moon (चन्द्र)in very strong positions i.e if the lords of the signs occupied by them are in very strong position similarly, he is bound to live long without any distress caused by loss or disappointment and will be a highly renowned.In the following verse Manthreswara explains the appearance of DREKKANA :-
द्रेक्काण स्वरूपमाह :-
“ ll सिम्हाजाश्र्वितुलानृयुग्मभवनेष्वन्त्या हयाजादिमाः
    मध्यौ स्त्रियमयोरिहायुधभ्रुतः पाशोऽलिमध्यो भवेत् l
    नक्राधो निगले मृगेन्द्रघटयोराध्यो वणिड्त्रध्यमो
    गृ्द्ध्रास्यो वृषभान्तिमश्र्च विहगःकर्क्यादि कोलाननम् ll………13.
In this Sloka Manthrswara explains about the DREKKANAM (द्रेक्काणम्).  According to this The last Drekkana of LEO (सिंह), ARIES (अज [मेषं] ),SAGITTARIUS (वृश्चिक), LIBRA (तुला),Gemini (युग्म [मिथुन]) and the second portion of DREKKANA of VIRGO (कन्या) and GEMINI (मिथुन) are called as ARMED DREKKANA (आयुध द्रेक्काण).     
The second Drekkaana or the Middle Drekkana ( Three Portions of a Raasi is called DREKKANA. of SCORPIO (वृश्चिक) is called NOOSE DREKKANA or पाश द्रेक्काणम्). 
The first Drekkana of CAPRICORN (मकर) is called a FETTERING ie Chained or bandaged DREKKANA or निगल द्रेक्काण.
The last or 3rd Drekkana is bird (पक्षी) and the face of Cancer (कर्क्कटक) is like a PIG.
“ ll कौर्यार्धिः कर्कटान्त्यो झषचरममहिश्र्चाजगोमध्यसिंहा –
    घल्यन्त्यं स्याञ्चतुष्पादिह फलमधन क्रूरनिन्घा दरिद्राः l
    व्दन्व्दर्क्षे स्युर्द्रुगाणैरधमसमशुभान्यस्थिरे चोत्क्रमेण
    प्राहुस्तज्ज्ञाः र्स्थिरर्क्षेष्वशुभमशुभसामान्येव लन्गे फलानि ll.....14
Meaning :- The 1st Drekkaana (आदि द्रेक्काणम्) of Scorpio(वृश्चिक) and 3rd Drekkana (अन्द्य द्रेक्काणम्) of Cancer (कटक) and (मीनम्) are called as Serpent Drekkana (उरग द्रेक्काणम्).
The second Drekkana (मद्ध्य द्रेक्काणम्) of Aries (मेषम्) and Taurus (वृषभम्); and the first of LEO (सिंह राशि) and the last drekkaanam(अन्द्ध्य द्रेक्काणम्) of Scorpio (वृश्चिक राशि) are called as FOUR LEGGED Drekkana (चथ्ष्पदा द्रेक्काणम्).
People who are born th these Drekkanams while rising will be without wealth , cruel in nature and will be of extreme unpleasant character and will be unscrupulous.
In EVEN SIGNS ( युग्म राशि) the three DREKKANAMS in their order will be BAD (अधमम्) , Average (मद्ध्यमम्) and Good (उत्तमम्) .  This order is to be reversed when the sign (राशि ) is MOVEABLE (चर राशि).  In a FIXED SIGN (स्थिर राशि) the order is BAD (अधम), Good ( Uththama) and Average (मद्ध्यम). The wise say that the effects will be as per the rising of the drekkanam in question.
“ ll द्रेकाणेशे स्ववर्गे शुभ खगसहिते स्वोच्चमित्रर्क्षगे वा
    तद्वित्रिंशांशनाथे बलवति यदि चेद् द्वादशांशाधिपे वा l
    होरानाथे तथा चेन्निखिलगुणगणो नित्यशुद्धप्रवीणो
    दीर्घायुः स्याद्दायावान् सुतधनसहितः कीर्तिमान् राजभोगः ll “......15.
Meaning (i) When the Lord(नाथ) of the ascendant drekkaana be in it’s own VARGHA or associated with a benefic planet or situated in its own exaltation or in the house of friendly planet or( ii) if the Lord of ascendant  THRIMSHAMSHAM, DWAADASHAAMSHAM or HORA possessing the strength of already said strength in (i)  and in similar position, the native will be endowed wiuth all NOBLE QUALITIES, WILL BE PURE (नित्यशुद्धि) always , will be clever, will live long (नित्य शुद्धि, प्रवीणो, दीर्घायुः etc ) will have good children, will be greatly known and will enjoy life like an emperor (राजभोग)  

“ ll मान्दिस्चराशिपतिसङ्गतसुत्रिकोणं
   तस्यांशराशिपतिसंयुतमंशकोणम् l
   लग्नं वदन्ति गुलिकांशकराशिकोणं
   तद्विधौ बलयुते शशिनैव विघातम् ll “.........16.


Meaning : Note the Sign (राशि) of Maandhi (मान्दि) and Lord of that SIGN (रशीश) is positioned and the Ascendant of birth (i.e.) लग्न should be in triangular position i.e त्रिकोणं or 5th or 9th to that or one in the Navaamsa occupied by the Lord of the SIGN representing the NAVAMSA SIGN of the position of MANDHI. It should be triagular (त्रिकोणं) to the raasi occupied by Mandhi provided the Moon (चन्द्र) is strongly placed. i.e. from the 8th day of  the Lunar Month. Please deduce Lagna from the Moon and not from GULIKA OR MAANDHI.  
“ ll कुर्यादात्मसुहृदम् दृगाणशशी कल्याणरूपं गुणं
   श्रेयांस्युत्तमवर्गजस्त्वपरगस्तत्राजातान् गुणानाम् l…….
   स्वत्रींशांशगता ग्रहा विदधते तत्कारकत्वोदितंत
   तत्रैकोऽपि सुहृदग्रहेक्षितयुतः स्वाच्चोऽथियुक्त्तं नृपम् ll…….17
Meaning :- When the Moon (चन्द्र) is in its own Drekkaana or in his friend’s Drekkaana in a native’s horoscope, then he/she will be baautiful and will have good qualities and if this planet attains Uthama Varga (the best manner of division ) he/she will be very fortunate. If the MOON is positioned elsewhere the native will get the qualities of the planet to which the house belongs. In a horoscope if the planets are positioned in their own in their own THRIMSHAAMSHAS will be having the qualities of KARAKA PLANETS (PROMOTER) .  If there be atleast one planet in its exaltation or aspected by or assciated with a friendly planet then the native will be endowed with all riches of a king.
“ ll स्वोच्चे प्रदीप्तः सुखीतस्त्रीकोणे स्वस्थः स्वगेहे मुदितः सुहृद्भे l
  शान्तस्तु सौम्यग्रवर्गयुक्त्तः शक्तो मतोऽसौ स्फुटरश्मिजालःll        18
  ग्रहाभिभूतः स निपीडितः स्यात् खलस्तु पापर्गयातः l
  सुदुःखित शत्रुगृहे ग्रहेन्द्रो नीचेऽतिभितो विकलोऽस्तयातः ll “          19
MEANING OF VERSES 18 & 19 :-  A planet is sad to be blazing (प्रदीप्त) when the planet is in its EXALTATION SIGN (उच्च राशि), When in trines ( त्रिकोण ) the planet provides happiness.( Here I mention that both Dr. Kapoor and Panditha Bhooshana Subramania Shaastri have written MOOLA THRIKONA. This might be because of oversight. In the verse I find only त्रिकोणे.  MOOLATHRIKON is for SUN   0 Deg. -20 Deg. In SIMHA RAASI, , For the Moon In Vrishabha Raasi 4 to 20 Deg. Mercury in Kanya (VIRGO) 16 to 20 Deg. , for Guru (JUPITER – in SAGITTARIUS (Dhanus) 0 to 10 Deg.        For MARS (Kuja) it is in ARIES ( Mesha)   0 to 12 Deg, For VENUS (Shukra) in LIBRA (Thula) 0 to 15 Deg and for SATURN (Shani) it is in Aquarius  0 to 20 Deg., where as TRINE (THRIKONA) is 1, 5 and 9. Here I like to mention the verse “ .....सुखितास्त्रिकोणे and not sukhitha Moolathrikone.
The native will be endowed with confident nature provided the planet is in it’s own HOUSE(RAASI), and when in FRIEND’s RAASI the planet makes the person delighted. When the Planet is in the VARGA of a benefic planet the planet provides calmness to the native and when the planet shines brightly without being combust, provides strength.
In Verse 19 Manthreswara explains the effect of the PLANET when it is reversed whcich is just oppsite to what is written in Verse 18
Meaning of Verse 19. :- The Planet is said to be in  trouble or tortured and when  overcome in a planetary war and when the planet is associated with the VARGA of  a malefic the planet is said to be frightened. (अति भीतो).
“ ll पूर्णं प्रदीप्ता विकलास्तु शून्यं मध्येऽनुपाताच्च शुभं क्रमेण l
   अनुक्रमेणाशुभमेव कुर्युर्नामानुरूपाणि फलानि तेषाम्
इति मन्त्रेश्र्वर विरचिताय फलदीपिकायां वर्ग्गविभागो नामा तृतीयोऽध्यायः  
Meaning :-In the case of Planet in SHINING MODE (प्रदीप्तावस्त) it will yield good effects in full during the Dasa and Anthar Dasa period and will  give bad effects in bad state as told in Verse 19 (विकल).
       THUS ENDS CHAPTER 3 WRITTEN BY MANTHRESWARA
