Yenbeeyes hails from a Tamil family wherein he learnt astrology from his

grandfather who knew the entire BPHS

by heart. He was first asked to learn by

heart the Sanskrit verses of BPHS &

then was slowly taught astrology by his

grandfather who was his Guru. After 3

years of teaching only BPHS he was then

taught Jaimini Sutras by the age of 23.

Yenbeeyes is our authors pen name and

he, having retired in 2007, has taken up

to the cause of astrology full time and is

currently translating Jaimini Sutras into

Tamil. Saptarishis Astrology has

observed that Shri Yenbeeyes pursues

this science with an unmatched

discipline and dedication which is

praiseworthy.

Saptarishi Nadi &

Timing of Marriage

Part 2

By

Yenbeeyes, India

Introduction:

n the first part on the above topic I

covered the first 10 charts of

Saptarishi Nadi. In this second part I

am taking up the next 10 charts. I have

already hinted at the concluding portion of

the earlier article, that I will give my

explanation very briefly. Readers are well

aware about the various methods

employed by Astrologers to fix the timing

of marriage. Innumerable combinations

have been propounded by rishis in the

classics. In the first part I have analysed

the charts using Traditional methods, BCP

Technique and BSP Technique. Then

there is Nadi method, Ashtakavarga

method, Transit coupled with Nadi and/or

traditional methods are all some of them.

The Navamsa which is the Dharma of the

native is also primarily concerned for

marriage purposes. There are methods

available to fix the time of marriage using

Navamsa too. Here we are trying to figure

I

out the possible astrological significances for a marriage to happen at a particular age.

Through the Saptarishi Nadi, the reasoning part is absent. After studying more than 500

charts of various Lagnas, I was venturing to find out if any specific combination is

available. In majority of the charts the marriage age varies between 19 to 22 or maximum 24.

I have worked out a method by which a specific planet or a combination of planetary

conjunctions trigger an event in a particular year. I shall take up this method in my next

article and try to prove the same with further charts of Aries Lagna.

In this article I am taking the assistance of Argala. In Sanskrit Argala is used to denote an

impediment or obstruction. Also Parasara has stated in the Chapter on Argala Verse 9 that

Argala effects will be derived in the Dasa periods of the Rasi or planet concerned. I am

giving a very brief note on Argala too below:

Concept of Argala:

The primary Argala is from the 2nd, 4th and 11th houses. The corresponding obstruction

for this Argala is experienced from 12th, 10th and the 3rd houses.

Here one should remember that Argala is calculated from a house or a planet and the

rule is the same for both.

As far as the nodes are concerned it is calculated in the reverse order.

Then there are benefic as well as malefic Argalas as also the number of Argalas as

well as which Argala/Obstruction to Argala prevails and many other details about

which I am not giving explanations.

I have found in the Charts of Aries Lagna of Saptarishi Nadi that normally the argala is on

the Antardasa Lord from the Dasa Lord connected with the marriage.

Sometimes it is the reverse also that is to say that the Argala is on Dasa lord from the

Antardasa lord.

Invariably both the planets will be linked to the primary houses of marriage which are

the 7th, 2nd and 11th or the secondary houses 4th or 12th or the tertiary houses 9th and the

5th as explained in the first part.

Chart No.11

The native of this chart got married in his 19th year.

Balance of Mars Dasa at birth: 2 years 11 months. So got married in Rahu Dasa, Moon

Antardasa. (I am not going into the dasa-Antardasa calculations here).

Primary Argala on Moon (AD planet) by Rahu (Dasa planet placed in the 2nd to Moon), by

Jupiter (Dispositor of Rahu-Dasa planet placed in the 4th from Moon)

From the 12th to the Moon as well as the 10th from Moon there are no planets and hence the

above Argalas are unobstructed.

Here readers must note the connection between Rahu and Moon and the houses involved in

marriage. Rahu is in the 12th house and will act as Jupiter who is also the 9th lord placed in

the 2nd house. Moon is the 4th lord placed in the 11th house. Henceforth I will leave this

explanation to the readers.

Note: For the date 22-09-1893 at 20:55 hrs. the chart is exactly the same with Raman

Ayanamsa except the position of Moon which is Dhanishta 2nd pada and Moon in

Capricorn and not in Aquarius. Hence I have not given the chart.

Chart No. 12

Marriage at the age of 16.

Moon dasa balance at birth was 7 years.

Here 16 years means completion of 15 years and the running age is 16. This is applicable for

all cases.

Mars dasa will be over by 14 years. Next Rahu dasa Rahu Antara will end in 16 years 8

months 12 days. Next will be Jupiter Antara. If it is Rahu-Dasa Antardasa placement in

the 7th house itself as also the dispositor placed in the 7th house itself. Here Argala has no

effect. If it is Jupiter Antardasa Rahu has 11th house Argala on it. There is no obstruction to

this Argala.

This is the chart using Jhora-Lahiri-Chitra Paksha Ayanamsa. With Ramans Ayanamsa,

the position of Mars changes. But even here the dasa balance at birth does not tally.

Chart No. 13

Marriage at the age of 21. Rahu dasa balance at birth 7 years and 6 months. In Jupiter dasa

Moon Antardasa will end when the native is of 20 years 2 months. Next Antardasa of Mars

will be till 21 years 1 month 6 days followed by Rahu Antardasa. Mars, the Antardasa lord is

getting Argala from Ketu (4th house) and Jupiter (11th house)(Mahadasa Lord). Since the

exact month of marriage is not known we can presume that the marriage had happened in

Mars Antardasa. There is no obstruction to this Argala. Ketu has not been taken into

consideration as there is no association with the Dasa-Antardasa planet. Moon Antardasa is

also possible but since Moon and Jupiter are together in the 11th house, question of Argala

does not arise. Jhora-Chitra Paksha Ayanamsa Chart is:

Chart No. 14

Marriage at the age of 18. Sun dasa balance 2 years 10 days. Mars Dasa, Ketu Antardasa will

be over by 16 years 11 months and 4 days. Venus Antardasa will be over by 18 years 1 month

and 4 days. Normally when we say 18 years it means the running age which in other words

is after completion of 17 years. So Venus Antara in Mars dasa is the marriage period. What

are the Argalas that the Antardasa lord Venus has got ? Only Saturn from the 11th house

from Venus. But Mars the dasa lord is having Argala from Venus. So here we find a

deviation in that the Argala is on the dasa lord from the Antardasa lord. Here also there is

no obstruction to the Argala.

Chart No. 15

Marriage is in his 19th year. Ketu Dasa at birth is 5 years and one month. So marriage is in

Venus dasa. Jupiter Antar dasa will be over when the native is of 17 years 11 months. Then

till his 19 year 1 month Saturn Antar dasa will be running. Argala on Saturn are created by

Jupiter (dispositor of Venus, the dasa lord) and Sun. Note the exchange between Jupiter

and Venus. Now put Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Sagittarius. Saturn, the Antardasa lord

gets Argala from Venus, the dasa Lord. For the Argala of Jupiter (or Venus) there is no

obstruction.

Chart No. 16

Marriage at the age of 18. Jupiter dasa balance at birth 10 years and 10 months. Saturn dasa

Ketu Antar dasa will be over when he is 17 years 8 months 21 days. So Ketu Antardasa or

the next Antardasa of Venus will be the marriage period. Venus, the Antardasa Lord has

got Argala from the 4th house placed Saturn, the dasa Lord. There is no obstruction to this

Argala. Ketu Antardasa has not been considered as there is no Argala on it from the Dasa

Lord.

Chart No. 17

Marriage will be at the age of 22. Balance of Saturn dasa is for 9 years and 9 months. In

Mercury dasa, Antardasa of Mars will be over by 19 years 2 months 27 days. Next Antardasa

will be of Rahu which will be until 21 years 9 months 15 days. So it is quite possible that

marriage could have happened either in Rahu Antardasa or the next Antardasa of Jupiter.

For Rahu the Argala is to be calculated in the reverse order. Going back from Rahu we find

that Mercury, the Dasa lord is creating Argala on Rahu from the 11th house. There is no

objection to this Argala. Jupiter will not be the contender as there is no Argala on Jupiter

from Saturn.

Chart No. 18 (Chart is in the next page)

Marriage at the age of 17. At birth balance of Ketu dasa is 6 years and 1 month. Venus dasa

Mars Antardasa will be over when he is of 13 years 3 months. Thereafter Rahu Antardasa is

for 3 years and will be ending at 16 years 3 months. This is followed by Jupiter Antardasa.

For Rahu Argala is caused by Venus, the Dasa Lord placed in the 2nd from Rahu in reverse

direction which is unobstructed. So this is the most probable period of marriage. On the

other hand Jupiter does not have any Argala from the Dasa Lord Venus and hence ruled

out.

Chart No. 19

Marriage at the age of 18. Jupiter dasa balance at birth is 2 years. Mars Antardasa in Saturn

dasa will be over when the native is of 15 years 8 months and 12 days. Next Antardasa is of

Rahu which is for 2 years 10 months and 6 days i.e will end when the native is of 18 years 6

months and 18 days. So Saturn dasa, Rahu Antardasa is the period of marriage. See the 4th

argala on Rahu by Saturn in the reverse direction which is also unobstructed.

In this chart, the Nadi states the balance of Dasa at birth is of Jupiter. Moon is stated to be

in Taurus consisting of Krittika, Rohini and Mrigasirsha ruled by Sun, Moon and Mars.

How is it possible to have the birth dasa starting in Jupiter. However, a chart developed in

Jhora for the date 16-06-1885 with birth time as 05:24:30 using Lahiri Ayanamsa give the

balance of Moon dasa at birth exactly 2 years with Rohini Nakshatra. This can be verified

by another statement in the Nadi in verse 41 which states that the father of the native will die

when he is of 33 years and is running Jupiter dasa-Mercury Antardasa. From Jhora we find

that the native is running from 15-02-1916 to 23-05-1918 which places his 33rd year in this belt.

So this chart of Jhora is the correct one. At the age of 18 which starts in the year16-06-1902

native will be running Rahu dasa, Mercury Antardasa. However there is no Argala between

the Dasa, Antardasa planets. The chart is reproduced below:

Chart No. 20

Marriage at the age of 22. Jupiter dasa balance at birth was 7 years 6 months and 25 days. In

Saturn dasa, Moon Antardasa will be over when the native is of 20 years 1 month 28 days.

Next Mars Antardasa is for 1 year 1 month and 9 days and will be over when he is of age 21

years 3 months 7 days. Next Antardasa is of Rahu. So marriage is possible in either Mars

Antardasa or Rahu Antardasa. In this chart our test on Argala fails as both the Antardasa

planets have no Argala from the Dasa lord. However, the Dasa Lord Saturn has a secondary

Argala from Mars being placed in the 5th from Saturn.

The birth date could be worked out for this chart using Jhora Lahiri Chitra Paksha

Ayanamsa. It is given below. The Dasa balance also tallies.

Conclusion: In these 10 charts I have tried to verify the timing of marriage using the Argala

concept. Of course in one or two charts it does not work out correctly. Still the majority

shows that Argala has definitely an influence on the dasa-antardasa planets in deciding the

marriage time. In my next coverage of the charts as stated in the introduction I will be

taking up the new concept exclusive to Nadi system.
