Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra: Sixteen Vargas (Chapter 6)

Chapter 6: the charts of vedic astrology is due to the fact that
)* the vargas are simply dividing the space the planets

transit through into particular divisions of space.

Now the chapter on the sixteen varga
The system of vedic astrology uses sixteen vargas

or charts to make predictions. Most people are only
familiar with one of the vargas, which is the natal
chart. The natal chart is the most common chart
used in astrology. From the natal chart comes all
the other fifteen vargas. Each varga lays out a
specific aspect of the person read. When looking at
a particular area of life for a person then a
particular varga is used and that varga has
presidence. Other vargas may be used in
conjunction with that varga to round out the
reading of the person in that particular matter in
life. The reason the word varga is used to describe

Much of this loka is self-explainatory, but there is

a interesting clue in this loka on how the principles
of vedic astrology are taught. First the planets,
second the signs, and then the vargas.

The second sentence of this loka starts to

describe the Hor varga. The Hor chart is made by
dividing the zodical signs in the Ketra into two
parts. The first part of an odd sign is ruled by the
Sun and the latter part is ruled by the Moon. The
opposite is true for even signs. You will note that
both Sun and Moon have unbroken thirty degree
portions, but the thirty degree portions overlap
between two signs. From above we know that
certain signs are initiative and reception aka have
positive and negative qualities, respectively. This
would correspond to a Sun and Moon Dynamic,

pondered over the deep significance of the lordship

logical given the connotations of the Hor to be
detailed in the next chapter.
The second sentence of the loka indicates how the
Hor is broken out as I have listed in the Hor table.
Below is the Hor chart derived from the Ketra
chart above.
In the Ketra the natives Sun is in the last fifteen

degrees of Aries, so the Sun would be placed in
Aries in the Hor chart as the table above would
indicate.

an eternal wanderer. One time Nrad wanted to
know the nature of the illusion of the universe, so
Viu led him to a lake and when Nrad looked
into the lake he became a woman.
Agasti is associated with Viu in the triad of sages.

He is the giver of advice, power of persuasion,
messenger between men and gods, found of
spreading discord, he is a strife lover, inventor of
the lute, author of the code of law and music
theory, and a wandering minstrel and mischief
maker. Agasti also kills demons, gives divine
weapons, and taught vedic rites. Agasti is the

The four Kumaras represent the following four
principles of knowledge: Sanaka is Saamkhya, or the
analytical study of the elements; Sanandana is Yoga,
or practicing mysticism for enlightenment;
Sanatkumara is Tapas, or voluntary penance for the
attainment of knowledge; and Sanatana is Vairagya,
or renunciation of attachments for attaining
liberation respectively. (This paragraph from
Deities in Vargas by Gauranga Das.)
Sun in the Ketra chart is in the first quarter of

Taurus, thus Sun is in Taurus in the Turya chart
with its lord as Sanaka.
The four lords of the Turya chart are all sages

just like the Dreka chart. In particular, these
sages are the Kumaras. The Kumaras are four
eternal youths. Kumra is the chief of them. They
are considered the mental sons of Brahma. They
are learned in the Vedas, celebate, and traveled
together. They also teach son-giving austerities.
