Padamsas and Transits: A Research Finding

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

The latest research article titled " Padamsas and Transits: A Research Finding "

is uploaded to my Research Article website:

This article *redefines* arudha padas and divisional longitudes of arudha padas

in divisional charts ( " padamsas " ). It gives a specific transit principle based

on divisional longitudes of arudha padas, which I found in my research. The

correlations are too strong to be coincidences. I explained the principle using

32 practical examples.

 

The first few paragraphs of the article are reproduced below.

 

If you like this knowledge, please feel free to refine it, use it and spread it.

If not, please leave it.

 

It is hoped that intelligent and sincere students and researchers of this divine

subject will take this knowledge further and contribute to a renaissance in

Jyotish and other knowledge related to rishis.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Introduction

 

Padas, also known as arudha padas, were defined by Parasara in Brihat Paaraasara

Horaa Saastram. The word pada means a symbol. The expression arudha pada means a

raised symbol. While the Sanskrit word bhava used for a “house†means

“meaning or conceptâ€, the Sanskrit word pada means “word or symbolâ€.

Words and symbols are tangible and observable externally, while meanings and

concepts conveyed by them are intangible and internal. The thoughts I have in my

mind are intangible to people, but the words and symbols I use to express them

are tangible. World uses the latter to get an idea of the former.

 

Similarly, padas are supposed to show external and tangible articles reflecting

on various matters. For example, the 4th house shows the happiness from vehicle

(intangible) and the pada of 4th house shows vehicle itself (tangible).

 

Calculations: Questioning Current Understanding

 

When padas of various houses are defined, people normally take entire signs as

houses and end up making sign based calculations. The exact longitudes of houses

(house cusps) and house lords are not used by people.

 

With this approach, they find the rasis occupied by various padas but there are

no specific longitudes associated with them. However, houses from the padas were

referred to by Pararsara, e.g. 11th house from pada. As 300º-330º from a

reference is the 11th house from that reference, finding the 11th house from

pada requires knowing the longitude of pada precisely. Thus, the standard method

seems questionable. There must be a different method that uses the longitudes of

the house cusp and its lord and gives a precise longitude for pada.

 

Another issue is that people find padas in divisional charts (amsas) by using

the planetary positions in divisional charts. Though they only use the sign

occupied by houses and planets, finding padas based on exact longitudes as

mentioned above, in divisional charts, requires using divisional longitudes.

However, is it logical to use divisional longitudes? Don't we find chara

karakas, nakshatras etc based on physical longitudes alone and not based on

divisional longitudes? Don't we find positions of chara karakas and mathematical

points like Ghati Lagna based on physical (rasi) longitudes and find the

divisional chart positions and longitudes based on them? Should we do a similar

thing with padas?

 

I will offer an alternative definition of padas and padamsas and then define a

simple transit principle related to a significant divisional longitude

correlation based on padamsas.
