Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Dear All, I have found references in Vrahat Shainta regarding the use of Gems. The chapter Ratnapariksha adhyay Says: "Ratnen Shubhen Shubham Bhavati nripanamanishtaham shubhen, Yasmadtah parikshyam devam ratnashritam tajagyey" |1| It means that Clean, high grade gems brings good luck to kings and Anishtha Ratnas bring ill luck to Kings. So the Daivagya ( Astrologer) needs to analyze and test the gems for clarity before offering them to king. At 15 he says: This is about diamond: "Kakpadamakshikakeshdhatuyuktani shakrervirdham, Dvigunashri Daghdhakatrastavishirnani na shubhani" The signs like the crows claws, structure like bees, silk or hair formation, any other impurity or there are impurities twice the size of the previously defined impurities, then that diamond will give undesirable results. He also stated that good and clean diamond brings all wealth and prosperity to the native. This means that an astrological treatise also conveys the message of wearing Gemstones for propitiation of planets. In Yukti Kalpataru Stones which are flawless are recommended for wearing. Here are the pages from a leading wesbite selling seriously flawed gems. Terms of Service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
