RE: Third house body part - Parasara

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Lakshmi, Kasturi, Sarbani, Samarth

 

Our understanding of a physical organ and the activity performed by the organ

can be different and this is where we find that sometimes the great seers have

also differed. In this context we find that the great varahamihira has used the

word *uras* or chest/upper chest to refer to the thrid house region and has

completely missed *arms* which made me think that there has been a corruption

in the text. After all the arms are the most vital working organs where we

display our skills and we have so many dictum associated with the skills of

*hands* and the third from karakamsa.

 

How can we miss out *arms* from the Kalapurusha?

 

It becomes evident that the third sign needs a deeper examination and for this

we need to first study what Parasara says. Parasara uses the word *bahu* or

*hands/arms* for the third house and this has been an integral part of my

understanding and learning. The sloka is given under -

zI;aRnne twa baø ùT³aefkiqbSty>, guýaeéyugle januyuGme vE j'œ"ke twa. 4.

çérñänane tathä bähü håtkroòakaöibastayaù | guhyoruyugale jänuyugme vai jaìghake tathä || 4||

The natural question arising is if the third house is already allotted to the

arms/hands by Parasara and the fourth house is called 'hrid' by Parasara and

all astrologers including Varahamihira then the fourth house must be 'hrid'.

Now we all know that hrid means heart (the physical heart) and this is also

referring to the seat of the soul and the seat where the emotions of the mana

are digested. So what about the lungs and chest reagion? Well logically heart

is in the chest region. So I looked up the Monier Williams and found the

following meaning for the word hrid

n. the heart (as the seat of feelings and emotions), soul , mind (as seat of

thought and intellectual operations ; breast , chest , stomach , interior (also

in older language , `" interior of the body

Stomach is already allocated to the fifth house, so we don't have a problem

here. Isn't it clear now that the third house represents *arms* and fourth

house represents the chest region including the *heart, lungs and everything

inside the rib cage* if we were to try and understand Parasara.

With best wishes and warm regards,

Sanjay Rath

PS

1. I am travelling soon and if there are further doubts in this Visti Larsen,

Brendan Feeley and other Gurus may kindly clarify with some examples to show

the use of this knowledge in identifying disease.

2. Can some kind soul please upload my paper on bhava and body parts/health

presented at Singapore. How can the students know unless these papers are made

available to everyone.

Om Gurave NamahNamaste List, Sarvartha Chintamani, Phala Deepika, Prasna marga

andThe Integrated approach to Vedic astrology by ShriPVR, to name a few, also

UNAMBIGUOUSLY ascribe therulership of chest to Gemini/Mercury.Gemini (also Li,

& Aq) and Mercury rule all three Vaata, pitta, kapha (sleshma) or a mixture

thereof. Itis the nature of afflicting planet which decides thetenor of

affliction. ex:if Mercury/gemini is afflictedby waning moon, then kapha gets

exaggerated. But, morecommonly than cold, asthma is caused by allergy todust &

pollution and there is usually no evidence ofsleshma in these cases.My father

had suffered from asthma for a long time.Regards,Lakshmi --- Sarbani
