The Compendium of the Elder Garga

In trade, actions are rendered fruitless, and service also becomes without reward. One should not perform any auspicious act during these combinations when they coincide with one’s birth stars original: "prajanm-rkshesu"; the lunar mansion the moon was in at the time of one's birth.

The combination of the Sun implied by the sequence with Roots original: "Mula", Hearing original: "Shravana", or Elder original: "Jyeshtha"; Mars original: "Bhauma" with Later Happy Foot original: "Uttara Bhadrapada"; Mercury original: "Budha" with its own The Cutters original: "Krittika"; Jupiter original: "Guru" with Return of the Wealthy original: "Punarvasu"—these grant all fruits. Additionally, Venus original: "Shukra" with The Independent original: "Swati" or The Friendly original: "Anuradha/Maitra", and Saturn original: "Shanaishchara" with The Friendly original: "Anuradha" are known as Perfect Combinations original: "Siddha Yoga"; they grant the successful completion of all works.

The Sun with The Mighty original: "Magha/Matta"; the Moon with The Branched original: "Vishakha"; Mars with The Nourisher original: "Pushya"; Mercury with Roots original: "Mula"; Jupiter with The Hundred Physicians original: "Shatabhisha/Varuna"; Venus with The Red One original: "Rohini"; and Saturn with The Ancestors original: "Magha/Pitre"—all these are declared by the Sages to be All-Destroying Combinations original: "Sarva-ghata Yoga".

In the same way, the following are unlucky: [Sunday with the twelfth], Venus original: "Bhargava" on the second lunar day; the Son of the Moon term: "Somasuta" — Mercury on the third; Jupiter on the fourth; Saturn on the fifth; the Moon on the thirteenth; and the Sun original: "Bhaskara" on the fourteenth. These are always remembered as being like fire. || Thus ends the Burned Lunar Day Yoga original: "Tithi-dagdha-yoga" ||

On the sixth lunar day if it is Saturn's day; on the seventh if it is Venus's original: "Bhargava" day; on the eighth if it is the Minister of the Gods' term: "Deva-mantri" — Jupiter day; on the ninth if it is Mercury's day; on the tenth if it is Mars's original: "Bhaumavara" day; and on the eleventh if it is the Moon's original: "Shashanka" day—one should avoid these days as their rays are sinful. The results of these combinations are like being cut by a saw, in due order. || Thus ends the Saw Combination original: "Krakacha-yoga" ||

On the seventh lunar day if it is the Sun's day; on the first original: "Pratipada" if it is Mercury's; on the eleventh if it is the Moon's; on the ninth if it is the Son of the Earth's term: "Bhusuta" — Mars; on the tenth if it is Saturn's original: "Shaure"; on the twelfth original: "Vaivasvati" if it is the Sun's; and on the thirteenth if it is Venus's—this combination is known as The Destroyer original: "Samvarta". It causes the destruction of wisdom and means, as well as death and disease. Thus ends the Destruction Combination. ||

Marriage, travel, gathering wealth, and auspicious rites for cattle should be avoided here. In marriages [performed during these times], widowhood surely follows.
