Always Remember
- 10
*******************
(1) When an
honest researcher of Vedic Jyotish finds the terms like राश्यादि (Rashyaadi), अंशादि (Anshaadi) or कलादि (Kalaadi) or existing in Sanskrit Shloka
containing the information about the rules of Vedic Jyotish, he often gets
confused about their meanings. The following are the few clarifications in these
contexts:
(i) The Sanskrit
Word राश्यादि (Rashyaadi) is formed after combining two Sanskrit words राशि (Rashi or Zodiacal Sign) and आदि (Aadi or Starting from) as per Sanskrit Vyakaran
(grammar) rule known as “इकोय णचि” (Ekoy nchi) which comes under यण
सन्धि (Yana Sandhi):
राशि (Rashi) + आदि (Aadi) = राश्यादि (Rashyaadi)
Always Remember: Thus राश्यादि (Rashyaadi) indicates Vedic Parameters starting
from Rashi
Hence, राश्यादि (Rashyaadi) stands for: Rashi (Sign): Ansh
(Degrees): Kala (Minutes): Vikala (Seconds): Prativikala (1/60 of a Second)
(ii) The
Sanskrit word अंशादि (Anshaadi) is also formed after combining two Sanskrit words अंश (Ansh) and आदि (Aadi or Starting from) as per Sanskrit Vyakaran
(grammar):
अंश
(Ansh) + आदि (Aadi)
= अंशादि (Anshaadi)
Always Remember: Thus अंशादि (Anshaadi) indicates Vedic Parameters starting
from Ansh (Degrees)
Hence, अंशादि (Anshaadi) stands for: Ansh (Degrees): Kala
(Minutes): Vikala (Seconds): Prativikala (1/60 of a Second)
(iii) The Sanskrit
word कलादि (Kalaadi) is formed after combining two Sanskrit words कला (Kala) and आदि (Aadi or Starting from) as per Sanskrit Vyakaran
(grammar):
कला
(Kala) + आदि (Aadi)
= कलादि (Kalaadi)
Always Remember: Thus कलादि (Kalaadi) indicates Vedic Parameters starting
from Kala (Minutes)
Hence, कलादि (Kalaadi) stands for: Kala (Minutes):
Vikala (Seconds): Prativikala (1/60 of a Second)
Note: According to the classical theory of Vedic
Jyotish as propounded by Vedic muni Parashar there is no predictive techniques giving
dignity to except Rashi, Ansh and Shodashansh (Also known as Kalansh). In any
ancient text of Vedic Jyotish if in any predictive technique the Sanskrit word कलादि (Kalaadi) exists then Ansh (Degrees) should be
converted into corresponding Kala or Minutes and that predictive technique
should be applied.
