In my understanding of Varanada Lagna,Varanada Lagna(VL) function's on Natal Lagna (Lg) and Hora Lagna(HL).1) If Lagna is in odd sign count from Aries, Else from Pisces.2) If HL is in odd sign count from Aries, Else from Pisces.

Now Here I want to note that When a Odd Sign is counted from Aries the result is Odd.If Even Sign is counted from Pisces The Result is Odd again!. Like Taurus-2(even) counted from Pisces is 11(odd)

Observation 1: Hence Results From (1) and (2) Will Always be Odd?! Now the next rule states

3) 3-A) if (1) and (2) both are Odd or if Both is Even Then Add the Results. 3-B) If one of (1) & (2) is odd and the other even the find the Difference Now ONLY 3-A will be applicable!, by Observation1 as both will be Odd.

Observation 2: If we take Only Sign based Addition (A stand taken for example by Jy. Visti in Jyotish fundamentals). Then Result of 3 Will Always be a Even Number and Hence Rule 4A shown next will be redundant Which is not accpetable. Hence Degree based addtion can only make both 4A and 4B rule applicable (As taken by Pt. Narasimha) Step 4) 4-A) If Result of 3 is Odd Result the count from Aries to Get VL, 4-B) If (3) is Even then the count from Pisces for VL.Please give me your opinions. BTW The Jhora computation seems to have bug. Can others also please verify it.
