Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Dear Respected members Continued from previous mail - I feel the commentators have arrived so, after drawing a diagram with rashis positined in 8 directions(Aries/Taurus in East,Gemini in NE etc).This diagram will show a linear opposition between Mesh and Vrischika in a 2 dimensional piece of paper.My personal view is this assumption may not be a correct one.In a spatial sense Aries opposes Thula and not Vrischika. Sage did not speak about chara,sthira etc regarding rashi drishti - those were interpretations of Commentators is my understanding. Now i have two humble views regarding the above shloka -(My sanskrit is zero and you may help me here) A)Abhipashyanthi is just pointing to the mutual aspects between rikshanis(Rashis). Front is not at all meant.Can we use prefix abhi with Pashyanthi in such a context - pls correct me. The whole set(SUtras 2,3,4) means rashis aspect each other except with the ones on their sides(Parshwa) viz 2 & 12.It then covers Griha drishti as well.Degree of aspect (Full/Quarter)varies and it has been mentioned in other texts. B)If abhi can mean front as in Abhimukha - Then Rashis have a very difficult chance of facing each other as mentioned by commentators. The spatial /circular zodiac may not be properly understood using a two dimensional paper.On the other hand 7th rashis as in griha drishti are in opposition(Aries/Thula). My preference is option A. I request learned members to throw more light.More learned may hold different views and kindly pardon. Regds Pradeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
