Re : BPHS and Paryaaya

[Guest guest]

Dear Shiv, Narasimha and others,

 

First, big thanks for your encouragements.

I am doing this translation with great pleasure and am happy that members of

this list appreciate it.

I read about the mistakes emphasized by Mr Chadha and, as I see that you're

OK if I mention your source on my web site, I'll modify my translation

according to your article.

I am surprised that PD Hora was explained in BPHS!

And for verse 16 of chapter 8, you're right that this verse seems a bit

"weird" to understand.

I must say that one quality of a web version of BPHS is that it can be

corrected easily.

 

Second, I thank Narasimha for his explanation and explicit examples of

Paryaaya dasa.

I hope the whole list wil benefit positively from that.

I suppose that the rules for strengths of houses are the same as in Narayana

dasa, as I see that years are counted as in Narayana dasa.

I suppose also that antadasas are calculated the same way as in Narayana

dasa?

Now I can better understand the several times where this dasa was mentioned.

 

Concerning Varnada dasa, you mentioned there was a controversy.

If I look at the explanations in BPHS and in an article by Gauranga das,

there are differences.

Maybe these differences are due to a wrong translation made by one of the

two?

In BPHS, the final step in finding varnada lagna (chap 6 verse 13-16) is

seeing if the number obtained is odd or even, and then you count

respectively from Aries or Pisces.

Whereas in the Gauranga Version (in brihaspati.net, article entitled

"special ascendants"), if the LAGNA is odd you count from Aries, and

reversely for even signs.

Second thing that is not clear : the counting of years.

In BPHS, the translation doesn't explain if we count years clockwise or

counter-clockwise.

 

Can we also use paryaaya dasa for every ennemies?

 

Lucas
