Argalas-The fourth, second and eleventh places (or planets in them) from the aspecting body are Argalas. Malefics in the third from the aspecting planet give rise to evil Argala. Planets in the tenth,twelth and third from argali cause obstruction to such argala. If planets obstructing argala are fewer or less powerful than those cause argala, then the power of argala cannot be affected. The houses or planets in trikonas (5 and 9) similarly influence the argala. In the case of ketu the formation of argala and obstruction to it must be calculated in the reverse order. There are two varieties of argalas. Beneficial (shubha) argala and Malefic (paapa) argalas. Dara means the 4th house, representing the argala from any desired significance or planet. Now the peculiarity is this Dara in Sanskrit language means wife in general astrology, when we say Dara or Darasthana, we signify the 7th house from Lagna for a male horoscope. But dara in jaimini by the

rules he has laid down means Four and not Seven. Bhagya . By the letter interpretation process-Bha is the fourth in the pavarga and stands therefore for 4. Bhagya-2. Therefore the 2nd house or planet from any given bhava also becomes an argala planet or obstruction . Sula stands for 11.Those planets which are in 4,2 and 11 from any planet or bhava in question or under consideration, become classified as Argala and obstruct their influences. If many planets, more then two as the plural is used, are found in kama or 3rd house, they also then become argala. Ka stands as in kavarga and Ma stands as 5 in pavarga. Therefore we have 15.in reverse we get 51. Divide this by 12 and remainder 3. Therefore kama stands for the 3rd house. Kama in Sanskrit means cupid, passions, wife and desires. In the general astrological literature, kama means the 7th house representing husband or wife as the horoscope may belong to a female or a male human being. But by the interpretation by letters as directed by the author, it means the third. As it is stated here the planets become argala in the 3rd only. When there are more than 2 evil palnets in the 3rd from the questioning planets or bhava. But suppose there is only one evil planet in the 3rd house, then implication it does not become argala for the planet or bhava.
