Varga worksheet/Shastyamsas: to Visti

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti,

 

Thanks for your excel sheet on vargas, which you have uploaded

recently. Many thanks for the many other tools you have provided

earlier. In fact, these tools are more useful to me in understanding

the concepts than computations! I do use them as supplements to JHL

and they are pretty useful.

 

 

The purpose of this mail is to learn about shastyamsas.

 

 

You have given the names of deities for all the 60 amsas and they

coincide with the list given in Sri G.C.Sharma's translation of BPHS.

However, this list differs with the ones given by Pt. Sanjay Rath (in

Vedic Remedies in Astrology) and by Dr B.V.Raman (in his A Manual of

Hindu Astrolgy). The exact difference is in Amsa 42 (for odd signs),

where they (Rath & Raman) considered 'Mukhya' and in Amsa 57 they have

not considered 'Amrita'(also mentioned in BPHS as Sudha).

 

 

Both the words 'Mukhya' & 'Amrita' do appear in Sanskrit version in

their respective places. So it is only a matter of interpretation and

who is(are) right is the question?

 

 

Considering one Amsa at one place and ignoring the other one at

another place changes the serial order of amsas between 42 & 57. I

would like to know your considered opinion on this.

 

 

Thanks & regards

viswanadham

Dear Viswanadham, Namaste.

Thanx.

 

I wasn't aware of any difference, and haven't studied

the divisions of deities, enough to actually use them.

 

I took the scheme from Santhanams edition.

 

Raman and Rath were/are very good scholars, so i'm

sure theres a good reason for using a different scheme

of deities, but you'll have to ask Rath why theres a

difference.

 

Best wishes, Visti.

p.s. please post his answer on the list, and i'll

judge whether to change the scheme in my worksheet.
