Lesson #9
Topics covered:
1. Arudha Padas Introduction.
2. Example chart1: Apr 4, 1970; 5:47 pm; Machilipatnam, India; 5:30 E of GMT.
3. Example chart2: 1 Nov 1973, 4:07 am, 74E51, 12N54.
4. Example chart3: Jan 12, 1863; 6:33 am; 83E30, 33N40; 5:54 E of GMT.
Key Points:
Arudha Padas:
1. Grahas, Rasis, Bhavas and Vargas are the Four basic pillars of Vedic astrology.
2. Arudha Padas are often mistaken to be Jaimini Astrology (Refer Jaimini Upadesas Sutras by Pt Sanjay Rath).
Parasara has talked about them too (Refer BPHS). It may be noted that Jaimini has written in depth about
the subject.
3. The actual houses, for example, 5th house of abilities does not really show the measurable or perceivable
aspect of the ability.
Whereas an award marks in an examination, trophies are perceivable.
1. Arudha means a risen one. Arudha Pada is the risen aspect the perceivable aspect of any given house. It is
the tangible aspect of a given house.
2. Arudha of the 5th house is represented by A5 (Refer JHORA 7) and so on.
3. The analogy is, the actual house is like an object, the lord of the house is like a mirror and the Arudha is the
image of object in the mirror (lord). From any house, find the distance from that house to its lord and Arudha
of that house is the same distance from the house containing the lord.
4. AL is Arudha Lagna and UL is the Arudha of 12th house, otherwise known as Upapada Lagna (UL). AL is
ones image how people perceive the native.
1. 1St house is Brahma sthana, 7th house (house of desire, marriage) is Siva Sthana and stronger of these two is
where Narayana lives. Both 1st and 7th are to be seen for judging ones attitude.
1. 1st and the 7th houses are of Satya and Arudha is the Maya. So, there is an exception in this case if the
Arudha falls in the 1st or 7th of corresponding house (not from Lagna) then take the 10th house from where
the computed Arudha is, to find the real

Arudha of that house. That means its Karma Sthana rules the Arudha.
1. In case of dual ownership of Sc and Aq, take the stronger of those houses to be the lord to find its Arudha.
There will be actually two Arudhas in these cases of different strength, which can manifest during their
aspects
2. Arudhas can be seen in any divisional chart. Ex A4 in D-16 will show what kind of car one has. Vahana
sukha in 4th house and
1. Engineering, Legislation, Trading, Journalism are shown by Agni indicating transformation. But, being Me
we considered Engineering for the native.
1. Question: Are there any remedial measures to strengthen some houses?
2. Answer: Arudha shows the physical manifestation of an aspect.
From Panchanga, the physical entity is seen by the vara or the weekday. So, consider the weekday of the Arudha
lord of that vahana in A10.house. For example, for 10 house, in this chart consider A10
1. Sg is the dharma sthana of the natural zodiac and is an agni lord Ma (in Ta). Do anything concerning 10
house on Tuesday rasi.
1. For example if Sa is in A10, then he will be doing Sa kind of being for Ma. Arudha being a physical aspect,

instead of mantra, one can also take a physical suffering on that day by fasting. So, work and more can be
said depending on what amsa Sa is in. fast on Tuesday and propitiate the god of 2nd house from A10,
A10 will show what kind of work one is doing, where as 10th from the 2 house being the house of sustenance.
A10 will show the perception people have in their minds on the work the native is doing.
1. Rasi is a chart of physical existence. It also shows different body parts. Arudhas in Rasi show the tangible
aspects of the physical
2. Example: Strengthen A5 in this chart. A5 is in Ta. The lord of 2
from A5 is Me. God of Me is Vishnu. So, fast on Friday and the pray Vishnu for strengthening recognition.
1. Example In case of house of dual ownership, consider the body.
stronger planet A3 in Pi. 3
house is for communication skills
1. All the houses in varga charkas show the environments
Example chart1: Dasamsa Analysis.
1. Lagna (Asc) is in Vi. Vi owned by Me has analytical ability. Vi is a virgin, a sign of chastity and shows purity.
2. The true self of purity and overly analytical etc. can not be seen by people. It is intangible. What is tangible
is the image AL.
3. AL is in Cp with Ju and Ke. So, people perceive this native to be of Ju and Ke nature Intelligence,
detachment etc.
4. 10th lord Me is in Ta and A10 (Arudha of 10th house) is in Ar.
This shows the actual work that the native is doing.
1. 9th lord Ve is in Ge and 10th lord Me is in Ta. This gives a parivartana an exchange and that makes Me behave
as it is in 10th house Ge and Ve behaves as it is in 9th house Ta. Me in 10th
will show an engineer, shows Mercurian work. So there is another view of Arudha of houses in case of Parivartana.
This is found by our guru Narasimhas practical experience. In this case, take Me after parivartana as it is in 10th
house and then AL will be in Pi. But, due to exception (if result happens to be 1st of 7th take 10th from there) the
10th from Pi will be Sg and that will be another Arudha Lagna.
1. So, second arudha lagna being in Sg (agni rasi) with Ma shows to the people that the native is dharmic, very
aggressive and
that can not be seen. The tangible aspect of this is a book
written, a lecture etc. are shown from A3 being in Pi and having argala from Ju, Ke and Me show the nature of
these manifestations.
1. A planet in debilitation and retrograde is akin to being exalted.
An exalted planet being vakri is akin to being debilitated. In this chart Ju is debilitated and vakri.
1. If Ke is in any house, count backwards when calculating Argala.
2. Neecha bhanga of any planet is given by the lord of that house or the lord of the conjoining planets house is
in a Kendra from Lagna (Asc) or the exalted planet of that house being in a Kendra.
3. A planet in retrogression shows a strong desire from past life.
That desire is related to the houses that planet owns. Apply this rule to the Rasi or the corresponding chart
wherever the retrogression is.
1. Graha drishti will be shown during a particular dasa.
2. Vi is application of intelligence, Sa shows hard work, Ma shows forcefulness. So, Ma and Sa in this case will
impact the writings due to Rasi drishti.
3. Apply Arudhas only to physical (1-12) and mental charts only.
Dont apply them to charts beyond.

22. The original AL also will work. There will be 2 images. show the perception of people on how brave the native
is.
Lesson #9 45
1. 3rd and 6th from AL are very important to see ones attitude. 6th house defeating other people, 3rd house is
having the courage to defeat other people. So, see who is occupying 3rd and 6th Malefics or benefics.
2. Rules are different for 3rd and 6th seen from Lagna (Asc) or AL. From Lagna (Asc) 6th will show overcoming
obstacles whereas from AL it will show defeating enemies.
Example Chart 2:
1. Lagna (Asc) is in Vi. AL is in Cp. 3rd is vacant, so she is not overly brave to pull other people around her. 6th
house has Sa and Ke. So, once she feels enemical about someone, she will destroy them. So the image she
projects is a materialistic nature.
2. From AL, If 3rd house is with no planets or with benefics, one really doesnt have big bravery to pull other
people around, but if 6th has malefics, one will not have hesitation to defeat them.
1. If 3rd and 6th are malefics High initiative, brave and complete the task
2. If 3rd Malefic, 6th Benefic High initiative but no execution
3. 3rd benefic, 6th Malefic Not much initiative and bravery, but once started for whatever reason, they will
finish it.
4. 3rd, 6th both benefics no initiative, no execution this is more a saintly person.
Example Chart 3:
1. Ju in 3rd house and Ve and Me in 6th house from AL in Rasi. As far as initiative is concerned, he is very wise
and in any fight with anyone, he will simply withdraw. This is a Saintly chart.
1. If a malefic in 6th house but debilitated, then one give up and not pursue will either halfway through or at
the end. A malefic in neecha behaves like a benefic and a benefic in neecha will behave like a malefic. Ma is
an exception.
2. The attitude of a person can be seen from 3rd and 6th houses
from AL from different divisional charts on different aspects of that person.
