Swamsa, Karakamsa, Karakamsaka: Definitions?

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I thought Karakamsa is "Navamsa of AK". Karakamsaka (i.e "Karakamsa"

+ "aka") is Rasi chart position of Karakamsa sign (i.e. if Sun is AK

in Pisces Navamsa, then Pisces in Rasi chart would be the

Karakamsaka). Swamsa is a bit confusing: could be karakamsa, could be

lagnamsa, depends on context, so I am quite clueless.

 

Anyway, I would like these terms defined if possible by a Guru. The

reason is that I read an article that interprets Karakamsa as what is

defined above as Karakamsaka i.e. that author reads the navamsa sign

of AK, takes that sign and goes to the Rasi chart, and then reads

Jaimini Upadesa Sutra predictions in Rasi chart e.g. when Jaimini

says "benefics in Karakamsa produce X and Y effect", he looks in the

RASI chart at the navamsa sign of AK, and then sees if benefics are

present in it, and if so expects X and Y effect. He says it works

very well. So for e.g. if Sun is AK in Pisces Navamsa, he would look

in Pisces in the RASI chart to see if benefics are present, and if so

conclude X and Y effect.

 

Is this scripturally accurate? Equally important, is it correct in

practice?

 

Thank you

Dear Sundeep,

 

This issue has been discussed by Sri Sanjay Rath in his translation

of Jamini's Upadesa Sutras.

 

Lagnamsa & Karakamsa are specific terms for the Lagna & Ak position

IN Navamsa. Swamsa is a broader term, which could be applied to

badhakesh even!

 

If you read carefully the chapter on Swamsa, in the above book, it

becomes clear.

 

When 'KA' is used it is the position taken from Navamsa and seen in

the Rasi chart. Refer Narayana dasa by Sri Sanjay Ji and the

Padanadamsa dasa etc., given in that book for more info.

 

i know that there are some, who use it the way you wrote!

 

regards

viswanadham
