Varga + Uttama -Vargottama

[Guest guest]

Dear Hari & Respected members

 

Uthama also has a meaning as first person(Uthama Purusha) -Thus it

is like ''same as the first''.The Varga attained is also same as the

first,ie Rashi position.

Now if you translate Vargottama - as best(Uthama) + division(Varga)

and assumes navamsha as the concerned division,it is Ok for me.But

the where are we talking about the planet? If we say Guru is

Vargottama -As per above understanding -It means Guru has attained

best division.Best division is navamsha.Thus it means,Guru has

attained a Navamsha.Every graha attains a navamsha - so what is

special? Where are we talking about the same navamsha rashi?As

Navamsha is a very important amsha,and as it is always studied along

with rashi - ''Vargottama navamsha'' can be the complete term.I

request learned memebrs to comment on this grammatical issue.This is

my personal opinion.

 

Thanks

Dear Pradeep, namaste

 

 

Regarding varga (division) + uttama (best) = vargottama, M-W (Monier-

Williams) dictionary gives the following meanings for uttama:

 

uppermost, highest, chief, most elevated, principal, best ,

excellent RV. AV. AitBr. Mn. Pan5cat. &c. (often ifc. , e.g. %

{dvijo7ttama} , best of the twice-born i.e. a Bra1hman Mn.) first,

greatest, the highest (tone) the most removed or last in place or

order or time etc.
