$ have the pleasure to present herewith theSixth and revisededition of the English Translation of the first two"dhyayas of:"$)$4$S=TR"S by my revered grandfather late&rofessor B. SuryanarainRao. :aimini is held in very great esteemthroughout $ndia not onlyfor his philosophi#al aphorisms but for his

astrologi#al writingsalso. :"$)$4$S=TR"S as presented in these pagesdeals with a system ofastrology that has no parallel in the existingmethods. The sutras arehard nuts to #ra#k and &rofessor Rao has tried hisutmost to explainthe aphorisms as #learly and #onvin#ingly aspossible. $ have notmeddled with either the translation or the 47TES asgiven by &rof. Raofor fear of affe#ting the sense. $ have howeveradded my own remarksby way of annotations wherever $ felt that anaphorism or aphorisms



reuired further elu#idation. &rofessor Rao is theonly s#holar in$ndia to have attempted an English Translation of:aimini. Thereforethe #ultured publi# should feel grateful to him forhaving enabledthem to have a##ess to a system of astrologi#alliterature whi#h isuniue in its own way. )y own publi#ation ST=D$ES$4 :"$)$4$ "STR7978deals with the :aimini system in an exhaustivemanner with examples.The Translation herewith presented has beenthoroughly revised by me

and it is hoped readers will be highly benefited bya #areful study ofhis book.

The best $ndian s#ien#es' religion'philosophy' dramas'literature' politi#s andC epi#s are the produ#tionsof the )aharishis.These are intelle#tual giants like the %imalayan)ountains and allothers in the world are pigmies before them. Thewhy of this may notbe known to us' but the fa#ts are there. Aorks'therefore' from thebrains of the )aharishis stand unrivalled and theyare #olossal innature. )aharishi :aimini is a great intelle#t andhis sutras are veryvaluable. $ make no apology to introdu#e them tothe publi# in the



simplest' English garb. The sutras will and have tospeak forthemselves. They are more than five thousand yearsold and valuable to#ommand attention and respe#t from all #lasses ofreaders' $ndian or?oreign. Those whi#h have stood brilliantly for (or , thousand yearswithout losing their brillian#y are realintelle#tual gems whi#heverybody should #ovet to possess. These fivethousand years' insteadof diminishing their lustre' have added furtherbrillian#y to the

sutras.

The #ommentators have done invaluable servi#eand all theirextensive interpretations and #lear arguments#annot be in#orporatedor embodied in short notes of mine. $f they are tobe assimilated intothe real explanations of the sutras' the bulk ofthe present volume

would in#rease by ten*fold and #ause tremendousdis#ouragement to thestudents who would like to pursue the easiest way'and learn somethingof :aimini sutras' whi#h have been sealed lettersto the Englishknowing publi#. Even the great Sanskrit s#holarsfind the sutras hardnuts to #ra#k and often they give them up for wantof patien#e'devotion and te#hni#al diffi#ulties in the way. $have been only astudent in "strology and kindred s#ien#es' although$ have had ((years of study and pra#ti#e. "strology is a grando#ean' #ontaining



four '. hundred thousand stanas or verses' andreuires #ertainly#enturies for its grasp and #omprehension.

"fter all our brains #an take in only a fewstanas from theextensive literature' but for brilliant intelle#ts'a knowledge of thefew fundamental prin#iples will enable them tograsp the s#ien#es andmake good progress in the #ourse of a few years $have done my best inthis English Translation' and $ leave the readersto udge of my

honest labours in propounding sutrai# prin#iples.Aithin my humbleknowledge none of our learned s#holars seem to havetaken the trouble'or made attempts to translate these aphorisms of)aharishi :aimini and$ am proud to say $ am the first in the field oftranslation to haveundertaken this diffi#ult task. 6onstru#tive#riti#isms are always

wel#ome and $ shall be grateful to them who offersu#h observations.Destru#tive #riti#isms must be treated with supreme#ontempt. 7ne whois not an adept in a sube#t will be a sorry#riti#. %e #an be leftalone.

for luxury. The profundity and brevity of thesesutras have #alledforth the highest admiration from all readersduring the last fifty#enturies. )y pen is too humble to do them usti#eor bring theirmaesty before the publi# in that dignified form inwhi#h the originalsutras stand in Sanskrit. They elouently speak fortheir intrinsi#value. To frame short sutras with #omprehensivemeanings is not givento ordinary mortals. )aharishis of "ryavartha alonehave framed

sutias. 4one else #ould do them. 4o one has donethem in the world. $treuires not only the #ommand over the Sanskritlanguage but it alsoreuires #onsummate s#holarship in the S#ien#e of"strology andkindred sube#t to frame sutras. The readers shouldparti#ularlyremember that :yothisha in Sanskrit means light andthe sense whi#h

sees and feels the light. $t is the #lear vision ofthe Vedas. 7f theVedi# shadangas this is the most important. Aithoutthe help of:yotisha' Vedas would be blind.

Su#h uestions are no doubt very important and

are to the point.$ am proud to say that almost all su#h relevant orirrelevantuestions on "strology and remedies pres#ribed by"strology andDharmasastras' have been #learly and #onvin#inglyanswered by me in myintrodu#tion to the Study of "strology in the 9ightof )odernS#ien#es. The $ntrodu#tion extends over @0 pages of#losely printedmatter and $ must refer my readers to that forfuller details andinformation. :"$)$4$S=TR"S have not been translatedinto English by



anybody in $ndia' so far as my knowledge goes.4either is it so veryeasy to translate sutras into proper English. Themeaning of a smallsutra' sometimes may be developed into stoutprinted volume- Englishlanguage is in#apable of framing sutras and mu#hless for their beingtranslated into #on#ise and short senten#es. $n itspresent form and#onstru#tion the English language is uite unfitfor framing sutras.

These sutras are profound' s#holarly and

uniue in their#omposition and defy all #ompetition. They#omprehend a vast amount ofknowledge. in the shortest forms possible and havebeen framedgra#iously by )aharishi :aimini' for the benefit ofthe world. %eopenly says so. $n the end of these sutras theauthor remarks that allthat he has written is uite true' as these truths

have beenpropounded by the still earlier )aharishis'&itamaha or Brahma' Vyasa'&arasara' Vasishta' arga' Bhrigu' Surya' 6handra'Brihaspathi' Sukra')ari#hi' &alaha' &ulisa' )aya and other eminents#ientists. Thetreatment of the different Bhavas' Rasis and&lanets will be found alittle #onfusing in the beginning but with somepatien#e' diligen#eand pra#ti#e the pe#uliarities of his systemreadily yield themselvesto our #omprehension and enable us to read the fullhoros#opes in the



light in whi#h :aimini has explained them for ourbenefit. %e givesvarious 9agnas' %ora 9agna' hatika 9agna' =papada9agna' Varnada9agna and so forth. %is Dasas are mostly founded onRasis and4avamsas.

The #al#ulations ba#kwards and forwards forodd and even signstrouble the reader to some extent. The extent ofDasas differs fromthe ordinary #on#eptions as explained by thegeneral prin#iples of

"strology. 6onstellations have not been givenprominen#e. Brahma'Rudra and )aheswara Dasas are pe#uliar in thesesutras. Ahile thelanguage is gra#eful' the interpretations aretaxing' diffi#ult andstiff. " vast amount of general knowledge is neededfor the properinterpretations and #omprehension of these sutras.$t is asserted by

some that :"$)$4$S=TR"S extend over 0 "dhyayas. $have seen only fourand have not #ome a#ross the rest. $ am on the lookout for them andby #han#e $ may have the good*lu#k to dis#over themin some old pala#eor private libraries.

Thetwo "dhyayas' $have now translated' are #omplete in themselves andwill be found tobe of the highest value to the students inastrology. The masterly wayin whi#h the )aharishi has explained the"strologi#al prin#iples' willsurely make the students masters in this line. Thesutras' being short

and sweet' #an easily be #ommitted to memory andthis is the greatestadvantage Sanskrit sutras possess over otherlanguages in the world. $have uoted the original sutras in thetransliteration system so thatthose who know Sanskrit may easily follow thesutras and mytranslation and 47TES' and #orre#t any mistakes'whi#h may have #rept

Those who are better s#holars than myself in"strology'"stronomy' Sanskrit and English may.point out myina##ura#ies' #orre#tthem' for the benefit of the world and thus earnnot only my gratitudebut also of the #ultured humanity in general. Sin#ethis translationis the first of its kind in the field on:aiminisutras' $ re#ommendthis work to all lovers in "strology. Those who donot believe in

"strology' will do well to read the translation andapply theprin#iples to their own horos#opes and see howbeautifully the resultsagree with the positions of planets.

Duty to s#ien#e and literature reuires everysensible man' whohas the good of humanity at heart' not to negle#tany bran#h of

Some s#ientists are more narrow*minded and bigotedthan the de#laredbigots of religion or so#ial #ustoms.

To thes#epti#s' only one word of advi#e by me. 9earn theelementary

The name of )aharishi :aimini is held in highesteem andreveren#e among the Sanskrit writers of eminen#eand probably he isheld only next to )aharishi Vedavyasa. :aimini isthe dis#iple ofVyasa' and besides being a writer of varioustreatises and the Epi#



:aimini Bharata' he is the famous author of &oorva)imamsa Sastra' andthese able aphorisms in "strology #alled after hisname as the:"$)$4$S=TR"S. The )aharishis' so far as theirintelle#tualdevelopment was' #on#erned' stood altogether on auniue pedestalunapproa#hed by any other authors in the world.They expanded theirintelle#ts not by ordinary study' patient labourand devotion but bythe mysti# pro#esses of 8oga. Thus expanding theirmental vision by a

pe#uliar pro#ess still unknown to the greatests#holars of the presentday' they were able to grasp the #auses and effe#tsof the #elestialand terrestrial phenomena with the greatest easeand on. a s#ale ofunderstanding and #omprehension of fa#ts at whi#hthe presentgenerations stand surprised and wonderstru#k.

Take )aharishi Vedavyasa the great grandson ofVasishta' thegrandson of Sakti' the son of &arasara and thefather of )aharishiShuka who is held in the highest esteem by thegreat Rishis themselvesfor this piety' Brahmagnana' and unalloyed purityof life. Vyasa haswritten 0 &uranas in#luding the )ahabharata'en#losing the immortalBhagavadgita' great Siddhanta after his name on"stronomy' severalworks on "strology and the most profoundBrahmasutras' #alled =ttara*)imamsa. This #olossal #olle#tion of literaturerelating to all



bran#hes of human knowledge stands as a monument tothe grandeur ofhis glorious intelle#t and it will be a realsurprise to the #ulturedpubli#' if any other name in the world #ould be'#ompared to thisintelle#tual giant. $n addition to all these works'he was able tosystematise and put in proper order the ?our Vedasand thus earn themost envious title of Vedavyasa or one who put theVedas in theirpresent form and seuen#e. :aimini was a worthydis#iple of Vedavyasa

and has beueathed to humanity' many valuable worksamong whi#h standforemost :aimini Bharata' &oorva*)imamsa and the:aiminisutras on"strology.

$n the various bran#hes of the SanskritS#ien#es the sutras are awonder of Sanskrit literature. Ae do not know ifthere is any other

language in this world whi#h has anything like thesutras. " sutra maythus be defined as the shortest in form with thelargest meaningpossible. :"$)$4$S=TR"S ere said t, have been#omposed in eight#hapters. Though brief' they #ontain a largeuantity of meaning. )anyte#hni#alities are used throughout these sutras and$ will try toexplain them as best as $ #ould. $n translationsfrom a ri#h and#omprehensive language to a poor and ill*euippedtongue' it isextremely diffi#ult to bring out the for#e' thedignity' the



sweetness' the maesty and the flow of the originallanguage. Thetranslators' however learned they may be andhowever brilliant theirintelligen#e may be' have to remember the greatgulf whi#h separatestheir intelligen#e with that of the great )aharishiwho is theiroriginal author.

"t best the translator #an only explain andillustrate what heunderstands and #on#eives to be the meaning of theoriginal author. $t

may be the #orre#t interpretation of the author orwhat may have beenunderstood to be the meaning by the translator. $nthe #ase of theworks of the )aharishis' $ may not be very wrong if$ say that none ofthe #ommentators or the translators #ould ever hopeto #ome up totheir standard. %owever' a man #an do at best whathe honestly knows

Everyone #annot #ompose a sutra.

authors have #omposed and #on#eived it. The defe#tsof languages#annot be set right by ordinary men' and it ishopeless to make su#hattempts.

:aimini' through his great sympathy and lovefor the people'framed these sutras and they have to be interpretedon #ertainprin#iples whi#h the Sanskrit writers have laiddown for our guidan#eand edu#ation. The brevity of a sutra is itsdistinguishing feature'

and it #an easily be #ommitted to memory even bythe ordinarystudents.

Bhattotpala' whom we have not seen a more learned#ommentator onastrologi#al works in re#ent times' re#on#ilesthese different systemsin the following manner - say a person lives for (,years and getsvarious periods of longevity from < years to (,years.

:aiminisutras offer the same explanations. $n thetypi#al #ase Sani'6handra and Ravi' representing father in the #aseof a single person'then the age and prosperity of the father will bedetermined by themost powerful among them. $t may also happen thatby the threesystems' Ravi may be#ome the lord of father.

readers will be surrounded by many doubts anddiffi#ulties and mayunderstand the Sutra altogether in a very pervertedsense. The numberof years of the Rasi Dasa is determined by thenumber of Rasis whi#hits lord has travelled from it at birth. Take ahoros#ope and followthe reasoning.

Ae want to find out the Dasa period of years givenby )esha. $ts lordis !ua. %e is found in the @th house from )esha.Therefore )esha Dasaextends for @ years.

Differen#es of opinion obtain in all bran#hes ofknowledge. Thesedifferen#es may arise from various #auses. Aorldpresents su#h a#ompli#ated and #omprehensive phenomena that twoobservers trying indifferent dire#tions may find different resultsfrom the same resear#h

or one result from different substan#es. Take oneillustration. Twodo#tors' men of hi h #ulture with tinges oforiginal genius' farremoved from ea#h other and uite stranger s' maygo on experimentingto find out the best antidote for fever. Ea#h maydeal with differentsets of arti#les and find a resultant' whi#h willhave the effi#a#y of#ompletely #uring fever and all su#h disorders.Similarly in"strology. Temperaments differ so radi#ally in some#ases that thosewho wat#h them keenly get puled over them andfait to a##ount for'



su#h strange phenomena. $f the lord of the Rasi isin his own house'the sign gives 5 years of life. $f he is in the5th house the Rasigives a similar period. $f he is in the se#ondhouse he gives oneyear. Some say he gives two years.

The word prayena signifies a great deal. $f thelord of the Rasi is inexaltation he will add one more year to the numberhe gives by hisposition. Take Vris#hika and !ua in )akara. %erehe is in the <rd

house from Vris#hika and therefore gives < years.But as he is inexaltation one more year is to be added and thusthe Rasi gives fouryears. But if he is in debilitation he takes awayone year. Thus if wetake )esha and find !ua in !ataka' then he willhave to give fouryears as !ataka is the fourth from )esha but hisdebilitation has

taken away one year and instead of four years hegives only threeyears. There are two signs a##ording to :aiminiwhi#h have two lordsinstead of one granted by the rules of generalastrology. Vris#hikahas two lords' vi.' !ua and !etu and !umbha hasSani and Rahu. $nthis #ase if the two lords are in the sign' thenthe Rasi gives 5years of Dasa. $f one of them* is not there' thenthe presen#e of theother gives no years. Ahen both of them are not inthe Rasi' then findout the Dasa years by the stronger of the twoplanets.



Suppose of these two' one is in his own house' andthe other in adifferent house' then #ount up and take the planetin his own house inpreferen#e to the other who is in a differenthouse. Take !umbha. $thas two lords Rahu and Sani. Sani is in )akara andRahu is in )esha.%ere we have to prefer Sani to Rahu as he is in hisown house andtherefore the longevity or Dasa given by !umbhawill be 5 years as)akara is the 5th from !umbha. $f out of the two

lords' in otherhouses one is with another planet or planets' andthe se#ond is notwith a planet then take the planet who is in#onun#tion with anotherplanet. Suppose both of them are with otherplanets' Then take thelord who is in #onun#tion with a larger number ofplanets. Supposeboth of them are with the same number of planets.

Then find out thestrength of the Rasi and whi#hever is morepowerful' take the planetin it.

%ere $ shall explain Ahat is meant by the strengthof the Rasi. Thefixed signs are stronger than movable signs. Thedouble bodied signsare stronger than the fixed ones. $f even here thestrength of the twolords is the same' then take that lord who givesthe larger number ofyears. $n this way we have to find out who is themore powerful of the



two lords and as#ribe the Rasi Dasa a##ordingly. $fone of them is inexaltation' he should be preferred. $n this wayfind out the #auses ofstrength to the planet and then pres#ribe the RasiDasa years to it.

Thefollowing is the full exposition for all these.Readers are advised tohave a large fund of patien#e and devote some timeto master thesedetails. $n all the following sutras of :aimini'Varnas or !atapayadiletters are used to indi#ate Bhavas and Rasis.

This will #ertainly be notintelligible' unless a few



examples are given here to illustrate theprin#iples involved.Varieties of 9agnas will be explained here. Bhava9agna*used in:aimini*means the ordinary 9agna as is mentioned inthe ordinary bookson "strology. The sign that rises at birth on anyparti#ular day.

6handra 9agna*or the :anma Rasi' is that sign inwhi#h 6handra issituated at the. time of birth. This is determinedby #onstellationruling on that day. &ada 9agna*means that sign in

number again fromthe position of the lord of 9agna whi#h he o##upiesfrom 9agna. %ora9agna*Take the time of birth from the sunrise andfix it in ghatis.Then divide this number by 5.( whi#h is #alled a%ora and the numberthus obtained represents the %ora 9agna. Take anexample. " man wasborn on the <rd of the solar month !umbha at 1.(

ghatis aftersunrise. 4ow 1.( ghatis divided by 5.( will giveus ( and 5 ghatis asa remainder. Therefore the %ora 9agna falls in the+th from !umbha*!anya.

Take a person born on the 5nd of the solar month.Vris#hika at about5/ ghatis after sunrise. Dividing this by 5.(ghatis we get and aremainder .( ghatis. That is the %ora 9agna willbe the 5th from thesign o##upied by the Sun' vi.' Vris#hika or itfalls in Thula the



5th from it. $f suppose the man is born on thatday at 10 ghatisafter the sunrise then divide this by 5.( ghatis.Ae get / and aremainder of ( ghati. Therefore the %ora 9agnafalls in the 5,th. "sthere are only 5 signs' dedu#t this figure from 5,and we get 0.Therefore the e 0th from Vris#hika will be the %ora9agna and it fallsin )ithuna. %ere also the order already named forodd and even signsshould be observed.

hatika 9agna*?rom the sunrise to the time of birthfind out how manyghatikas have passed and find out the Rasi whi#hfalls at the time andthis will be easy to understand. Say a man is bornat 5( ghatis aftersunrise on the 5nd of Vrishabha )asa. Then take 5(ghatis and #ountfrom VrishabhaC whenever' the figure of ghatis ismore than 5 dedu#t

or divide the number of ghatis and find out theremainder. 5( dividedby 5 will give us a balan#e of after goingtwi#e. Thus in this #asethe ghatika 9agna falls in one and therefore inVrishabha itself.Varnada 9agna*Ae have already explained this and wewill give #learerexplanations later on.
