So we have come across this quote before but for other reasons such as the time supplied for his birth which gives a Mithuna Lagna there seems to be some problems that need to be reconciled. I guess what I am saying is that it may be premature to say that he had Kataka lagna. We are in the process of finding out what the facts are. When we know we will let you all in on it.
