===================================

BPHS (English Translation)

 

Ch. 3. Grah Characters and Description

 

49-50. Exaltation and Debilitation. For the seven Grahas, from Sūrya on,

the exaltation Rashis are, respectively, Mesh, Vrishabh, Makar, Kanya, Kark,

Meen and Tula. The deepest exaltation degrees are, respectively, 10, 3, 28, 15,

5, 27 and 20 in those Rashis. And in the seventh Rashi from the said exaltation

Rashi each Grah has its own debilitation. The same degrees of deep exaltation

apply to deep fall.

 

51-54. Additional Dignities. In Simh the first 20 degrees are Sūrya’s

Mooltrikon, while the rest is his own Bhava. After the first 3 degrees of

exaltation portion in Vrishabh, for Candr, the rest is her Mooltrikon. Mangal

has the first 12 degrees in Mesh, as Mooltrikon with the rest therein becoming

simply his own Bhava. For Budh, in Kanya the first 15 degrees are exaltation

zone, the next 5 degrees Mooltrikon and the last 10 degrees are own Bhava. The

first one third of Dhanu is the Mooltrikon of Guru, while the remaining part

thereof is his own Bhava. Śukr divides Tula into two halves keeping the

first, as Mooltrikon and the second, as own Bhava. Śani’s arrangements are

same in Kumbh, as Sūrya has in Simh.
