Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Dear Friends, Sarvarthchintamani of Vankatesha Sarma (father of the author of Jatakprijat) clearly states that Gulika and Mandi are two sons of Saturn.Uttarkalamirta of Kalidasa says that ending point of Saturn's portion should be called as gulika.This book also gives the ghaties on every day to find out MANDI. If these ghaties are calculated at the scale of dinmaan or Ratrimaan of 32 ghaties , Mandi will worked out exactly at middle point of Saturn,s portion.Pt. Gopesh Ojha , a famous commentator of Jatakprijat and Phaldeepika is also of this view. No doubt earlier , there may be some stand taken by famous authors , but present situation emerges as under: 1. Saturn's portion is called as Gulika Vela (an arc like sign) which is equivalent to one eighth portion of dinmaan or ratriman as the case may be. It is to be worked out for each place and everyday separately. 2. Gulika and Mandi points will always fall in Gulika(ie Saturn's)portion 3. BPHS says that Gulika point is initial point of Gulika Vela whereas Kalidas says it is ending point 4. Mandi is the Middle point of Gulika portion.
