One Hundred Verses on Astrology

...by performing the Nadi calculations original: "nada"; referring to the channels of vital energy with great care, one avoids suffering. ॥ 39 ॥

The Single-Channel Obstruction

Now, the Single-Channel Obstruction Ekanadi-vedha; a major flaw in marriage compatibility where both partners share the same 'pulse' or 'nerve' group, potentially leading to health issues is described:

The constellations Nakshatras; lunar mansions of Purva Bhadrapada, Ashlesha, Shatataraka, Punarvasu, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Hasta The text lists nine stars here as being in the same 'Nadi' group are said to be located in one channel.

Likewise, Bharani, Magha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Swati, Anuradha, Dhanishta, Purva Ashadha, and Pushya are located in the second channel.

Similarly, Ashwini, Magha, Swati, Revati, Krittika, Ashlesha, Rohini, and Vishakha are located in the third channel.

The Three Temperamental Groups

The Nine Divine Stars original: "Devagana" are Pushya, Hasta, Shravana, Revati, Punarvasu, Ashwini, Anuradha, Swati, and Mrigashira.

The Nine Human Stars original: "Manushyagana" are the three Purvas Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, and Purva Bhadrapada, Mrigashira, Bharani, Ardra, and Rohini.

The Nine Demonic Stars original: "Rakshasagana" are Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Dhanishta, Vishakha, Krittika, Ashlesha, and Chitra.

In the joining of hands marriage between a Human and a Demonic type, death may occur. Between a Human and a Divine type, there is medium affection. Between Divine and Demonic, there is natural enmity. If there are seven points of compatibility, there is the highest level of love. ॥ 40 ॥

The Animal Affinities

Now the Animal Instincts Yoni; literally 'source' or 'womb', representing the sexual and physical nature of the person based on their birth star of the constellation groups are correctly described: ॥ 41 ॥

• Ashwini and Shatataraka: Horse
• Bharani and Revati: Elephant
• Krittika and Pushya: Ram
• Rohini and Mrigashira: Serpent
• Ardra and Punarvasu: Dog original: "Shvana"
• Ashlesha and Punarvasu: Cat original: "Marjara"
• Magha and Purva Phalguni: Rat
• Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Bhadrapada: Cow
• Hasta and Swati: Buffalo
• Chitra and Vishakha: Tiger
• Anuradha and Jyeshtha: Deer
• Purva Ashadha and Shravana: Monkey
• Uttara Ashadha and Abhijit: Mongoose original: "Nakula"
• Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada: Lion

Natural Enmity and Household Harmony

The Lion creates enmity with the Elephant and the Buffalo. There is great natural enmity between the Cat and the Rat, the Dog and the Deer, the Cow and the Tiger, the Mongoose and the Serpent, and the Ram and the Monkey. This enmity must be understood between a husband and wife, and also between a master and a servant.

Furthermore, in the relationship between the zodiac signs original: "Rashikuta", if they are in the ninth and fifth positions, or the second and twelfth positions, there is a "fire-friendship" an intense but potentially volatile connection if they share the same planetary ruler. If the strength of the birth stars original: "Tara bala" is also gained, then the marriage is highly recommended.

However, Leo joined with Pisces, Sagittarius joined with Cancer, or Aquarius joined with Virgo creates a wicked and harmful combination. If the lords of the signs are in a "six-eight" relationship Shadashtaka; an inauspicious placement where signs are six and eight houses apart, marriage should be avoided. A marriage is auspicious only when the three qualities Nadi, Gana, and Yoni and the stars of the groom’s house are in harmony. ॥ 42 ॥
