Sarpa yoga definition (Nagpanchmi and Sarpa Dosa)

[Guest guest]

Dear Mukund, You are absolutely correct. Some scholars opine that Sarpa yoga is

given if 3 malefics are in quadrants. However, if you want to strictly follow

Parasara, this is wrong.

 

Please refer to verse 8 of the chapter on Naabhasa yogas in BPHS. It says

"kendratraya gataih saumyaih paapairvaa".

 

The expression kendratraya means a "kendra trio" (trio of quadrants). The verse

unambiguously says that benefics or malefics occupying a trio of quadrants form

Maalaa and Sarpa yogas respectively. So, if there are two malefics in one

kendra, another malefic in another kendra and other kendras have no malefics,

then there is no sarpa yoga even though there are 3 malefics in [two] kendras.

Parasara is very clear. I see no reason to contradict Parasara, unless there is

an ambiguity in his teachings. That is not the case here.

 

Regarding Sun being a benefic or a "paapa" (malefic), I request the learned to

kindly refer to verse 8 in the chapter on Yoga Karakas in BPHS. The Sage

clearly states whether Sun is paapa or not. Sanjay ji is absolutely right in

the sense that Sun is not a malefic in dharmik matters. The original question

to which he answered saying Sun was a benefic was related to prayers when Sun

rose. Sun is a benefic planet for dharma (prayers, marriage etc). So, he is

right in the limited context. But, the general status of Sun as a paapa is very

clearly set in the verse I quoted.

 

Chandrashakhar ji, to the best of my knowledge, nodes can cause Sarpa yoga.

After all, nodes are the symbols of sarpa (serpant). May Jupiter's light shine

Narasimharaoji,

The reason I do not think rahu Ketu, is that they are Chayagrahas, if alone in

a benefic sign they will give results according to the lord which would be

benefic and not malefic per . And even though BPHS does mention them as

Malefics vide shloka 11 Ch,3, in other shlokas indicating various qualities of

Planets they do not find mention at all( these are shlokas

12,13,,16,1718,19,20,21,22,31 etc). As you are aware, the BPHS we have now

comes from shlokas collected from different Panditaas by Pt. Jha and different

editions have additional different shlokas.Another reason is that Sarpa, yoga

forms part of nabhasa Yogas( more specifically dala yoga) and looking at the

combinations of these yogas some are not possible if Rahu and ketu were meant

to be considered Viz. Gola yoga. Of course, I could be wrong, but is it not

interesting to see that For Planetary castes two different shlokas appear in

BPHS 22 &

again at shloka 41. Would a sage of the greatness of Parashara and hailed as one

amongst 18 pravartakas of Jyotish forget what he said earlier?

Chandrashekhar.
