PHALADEEPIKA OF MANTHRESWARA
CHAPTER 1 – अध्याय 1.
LIGHT ON
APOTELESMATICS
MANTHRESWARA
संज्ञाध्याय
Manthreswara gives some important Characteristic of
the SIGNS (राशि)
and Houses ( भाव
) in this Chapter. I have not given
this in the groups since I thought of giving the abstract Phaladeepika in my
original write up but started writing in full the translation with original
slokas from Chapter 1.
“ ll सन्दर्शनं

Meaning :- first Manthreswara
seeks the blessing of Sun God by saying
“LET US be blessed by the Sun God , who is supreme reality and the real
light with all happiness ,who has no ends and when rises above the horizon and
who is matchless and remains in full view of
pole dwelling Celestials for half
the solar year, and for the moon
dwelling manes for 12 hours and for the
mortals living in earth, the entire day time for whom the direction of the Sun
God changes to north and south as per AYANAS called UTHTHARAAYANA AND
DAKSHINAAYANA. Let Him bless us with unlimited prosperity, beatitude, good luck
and all the goods.
After saluting the Sun God he salutes Goddess Saraswathy,
preceptor, Lord, Nava grahas, Ganapathy, and Lord Shiva.

Meaning :- After paying obeisance to the said Gods
& Preceptor who bestowed him with the knowledge of the present,
the past and the future, he gives herein in a simple way the teachings of
ATHRI, PARASHARA and others as PHALA DEEPIKA ( LIGHT ON APOTELESMATICS ).
From here onwards MANTHRESWARA starts the subject.
“ ll पदाभाघैर्यन्त्रैर्जननसमयोऽत्र प्रथमतो

Firstly the exact time of birth of the native
should be taken minutely. The Vightakas which actually elapsed should be found
out by means of FOOT MEASUREMENT, or by the use of Sun Dial (Very Old method
which has been made easy by use of computers and global clocks - PRR) .
Afterwards the positions of the PLANETS (ग्रह), Logitude, in SIGN (राशि)
, Degree, minute and seconds (अंश, कला,
विकल)
found out by the use of mathematical instruments. Thereafter BHAAVA SPUTA is to
be calculated. (Friends , all these are made easy by
use of calculators and computers) . The
astrologer is to ascertain the STRENGTH OF EACH PLANET.

ll “..........4.
Meaning :- The person KAALAPURUSHA’s (कालपुरुष)
body in the horoscope with Ascendant (लग्न) should be assumed as (1) लग्न
(ascendant)representing the Head (2) 2nd House from Lagna represents the FACE(वक्त्रं)
(3) the 3rd House, the breast, the 4th House, the HEART (हृदयं)
(5) 5th House, the Stomach (जठरं), (6) The Waist (कटि)
(7) the 7th House, the Groin (वस्ति), (8) Sexual organ (प्रजाननस्थाल)
(9) The two thighs (9) The Two knees(11) the two calves (12) The two feet.
The concluding or the end portion of the Signs वृस्चिक(SCORPIO),मीनं (PISCES),
and कर्क्कटक
(CANCER) is called (भसन्ति) or (ऋक्षासंद्धि) (Junctional Point). Others say that the
end of all HOUSES are called the same way.
(This note
is seen Dr. Kapoor’s translation that “ the house which is occupied or aspected
by benefics or whose lord is bestowed with strength, the part of the body
represented by that house will be strong and well built. If the Lord of the
House is weakor be occupied or otherwise affliced by a malefic, the
corresponding part of the body will be weak or diseased.”. ) In my humble
opinion this happens without any description.

I have not
given the meaning of the above verses which are in JATHAKA PAARIJAATHAM.
“ ll भौमःशुक्रबुधेसूर्यशशिजाः शुक्रारजीवार्क्कजाःl

Meaning :- भौम
(MARS), शुक्र
(VENUS), बुध
(MERCURY), चन्द्र
(MOON), रवि
(SUN), बुध
(MERCURY), शुक्र
(VENUS), भौम (MARS),
गुरु
(JUPITER), मन्त
(SATURN), मन्त
(SATURN), गुरु
(JUPITER); these are the names of planets who are LORDS OF THE 12 SIGNS (राशि)
from मेष
(Aries) to मीना
(Pisces).
The exaltation points of the SEVEN PLANETS from Sun,
Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are Aries, Taurus, Capricorn,
Virgo, cancer, Pisces and Libra, respectively.
The Debilitatin points are the SEVENTH HOUSE from
the Place of exaltaion. Example The Sun’s exaltain is in Aries hence the
Seventh House i.e. तुला (LIBRA) is its debilitation.
The highest Exaltion point of the seven planets are
10th Degree of Aries(मेष) for सूर्य(Sun), 3rd Degree of Taurus (वृषभ)
for Moon, 28th Degree of Capricorn( मकर) for कुज
((Mars), 15th Degree of Virgo (कन्या) for बुध
(Mercury), 5th Degree of कर्क्कटक (चान्चेर)
for गुरु
(Jupiter), 27th Degree of Pisces (Meena) for Venus (शुक्र)
and 20th Degree of Libra (तुला) for Saturn (शनि)
The deep debilitation points are the same degrees
given above, but on the sign of FALL.
Note :- There remains a highly difference of opinion
about the Exaltation and Debilitation signs of RAHU and KETHU..They are not
mentioned by Varhamihira. Although the
general consenses goes withwhat is given in BRUHAT PARAASRA HORAA SHAASTRA,
that RAAHU IS EXALTED IN वृषभ (TAURUS)
and KETHU in वृश्चिक (SCORPIO) and Debilitation is
reversed. However, some experts follow
SARVARTHA CHINTHAMANI by ACHARYA VENKATESH 0f 13th Century AD which
stipultes the EXALTATION OF RAHU AND KETHU as मिथुन
(GEMINI) and धनुस ( SAGITTARIUS) respectively and the DEBILITATION reversed in
both the cases. However, MANTHRSWARA is silent on this subject.

(1) Maangalya Bhaagya ( There is no suitable translation in English). However HINDUS believe that Mangalya once
tied on the neck of a lady by ONLY ONE MAN should remain in her
neck till she dies ) The Significance as
given by Adi Shankara on MAANGALYA is “Adi Shankara in his famous book Soundarya Lahari. According to Hindu cultural ethos,
mangalsutra symbolizes the inseparable bond between a husband and a wife.
During the wedding ceremony, the bridegroom ties the mangalsutra to the neck of
the bride uttering- “May you live long by wearing this sacred Mangalsutra, the
reason of my life”. Married women are entitled to wear Mangalsutra throughout
their life as it is believed that the practice enhances the well-being of her
husband and family and cannot be shown in public. It is also considered that
the mangalsutra protects the marriage from any evil. Three knots symbolize
three different aspects of a married woman - the first knot represents her
obedience to her husband, the second to his parents and the third represents
her respect for God.” From Wickipedia. In SOUNDRARYA LAHARI I find
“ ll गळे रेखास्तिस्रोगतिगमकगीतैकनिपुणे
