Loss of Progeny-Phalit Martand
पुत्रेऽथवा पुत्त्रप उग्रमध्ये तत्कारकेऽवैः कलिते सुतस्य ।
नाशोऽस्तमत्यङ्कप युग् लवेशाः साघा असौम्यांशगतास्तथैव ।।१५।।
The verse under discussion, attributed to the classical scholar Mukund Daivagya, demonstrates a profound understanding of Vedic astrology. It encapsulates several fundamental astrological conditions that signify the potential loss of progeny. The verse is structured in a coded manner, embedding key principles that activate the predictive mechanisms related to the fifth house, which signifies children (Santaan Sukh), as well as its dispositor and the natural significator of childbirth, Jupiter.
The primary condition outlined in the verse pertains to the affliction of three critical astrological factors: the fifth house, the lord of the fifth house, and Jupiter. These afflictions arise due to their placement, aspect, or conjunction with malefic planets. When these elements suffer from severe malefic influence, the outcome predicted by this verse is the loss or destruction of progeny.
Furthermore, the author extends the analysis by incorporating the lords of the seventh and ninth houses along with the fifth house. The verse states that if the Navamsa lords of the rulers of the fifth, seventh, and ninth houses are under malefic influence and placed in the Navamsa of malefic planets, the result will again be the loss or destruction of progeny. This brings forth an important question: why has the author included the seventh and ninth houses in this astrological combination? To fully comprehend the rationale behind this inclusion, it is necessary to examine the first principles of astrology… (To be continued.)
