Preface
It was on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 23:32 (IST) I
wrote a research oriented article titling, “The Legends Of Second House”…….
and published it first on my website horoanalysis.wordpress.com on Wednesday,
June 27, 2018 at 00:10 (IST) and after that it was also published on
several other social sites. The present Article titling, “Why Eight House Is
House Of Longevity In Jyotish?” is a smaller part from that Article which
is rewritten here in a slightly different style. If anyone intends to view that
article then follow the link: https://horoanalysis.wordpress.com/2018/06/27/the-legends-of-second-house-an-article-written-by-vishal-aksh/
***************
(i) Muni Parashar in Brihitparasharhorashaastra says that
Eight House and its lord decide the Lifespan or in other words the Eight House
is the house of Lifespan. But the reason is not cleared why that great Vedic
Muni allotted Eight House as the House of Lifespan perhaps Vedic Muni Parashara
wants from us to find reasoning behind it through our own intelligence.
(ii) To understand any branch of knowledge properly it is the
reasoning which is essential. Several years ago in the year 1990 somewhere I
have read that Second House is Marka as Seventh from Eight House (House of
Lifespan) and Seventh House is Marka as it is Twelfth from (House of Loss) from
Eight House (House of Lifespan) but at that time too I was convinced with this
reasoning given by someone and contradicted it on the grounds of the then
existing understandings of mine about Jyotish as mentioned in forthcoming
paragraphs
(iii) My Understanding About Seventh House As Marka
(Death Inflecting): I was of the opinion that when at the Time of Sunrise
the Tropical Longitude of Sun and that of Tropical Rising Sign are same i.e.
Sun at Eastern Horizon whereas at Sunset the Tropical Longitude of Sun and that of Setting Sign are same i.e. Sun at Western
Horizon then Sun being the Planet signifying Physical Body in this process of
rising & setting indicates Birth & Death respectively and if the Sun is
taken as Aatma it is for a living being and if Sun is taken as Solid body then
it will be the existence and destruction of a non living body so in all the
cases of living and non living Rising Sign indicates Birth and Setting Sign
(Seventh House) indicates Death. This was the solid reasoning given by me
on the basis of my common sense to understand why Seventh House was allotted as
Marka (Death Inflecting House) in Vedic Jyotish.
Note: A larger part of Vedic Predictive Jyotish is based
on Commom Sense.
(iv) My Understanding About Second House As Marka (Death
Inflecting): Vedic Muni Parashara also says in Brihitparasharahorashaastra
that Second House in a Horoscope also indicates Ratana which nowadays are
considered as Navratana but in fact the word Ratna appeared in the very first
Mantra of Rigveda in that a prayer has been made to Parmatma to get Ratna so I
thought that the prayer could not be only to get Ratna or the reasonable meaning
of Sanskrit word Ratna appering in Rigveda and Brihitprasharhorashaastra was
somewhat else. In Vedic Literatures the word Ratna is generally used for types
1. Navaratna: These are well known precious stones
associated with nine planets from Sun to Ketu
2. Fourteen Ratna: These appeared during great
Samudra Manthana when Vedic Creation was going on.
(v) A deep research work on Second House in the light of
those fourteen Ratna made a clear picture in my mind about the valid meaning of
the Sanskrit word Ratna appearing in Brihitparasharahorashaastra and in the
very first Mantra of Rigveda. The very first Ratna appeared in that great
Samudra Manthan was Halala (Kaalkoot) and it was the greatest poison ever
existed with an ability to destroy everthing including living and non living or
even the entire creation and if this type of Halala (Kalkoot) comes under the judgment
of Second House then Second House stands for Death inflecting or Marka House
for all living and non living beings. Furthermore Second House is Fifth from
Tenth house or in other words this Second House is an offspring of Tenth House
appearing in every Horoscope. The Tenth House is also known as Nabha or Sky and
this Nabha or Sky is also known as Shoonya is also considered as abode of great
Sarpa in Vedic Literatures so being the offspring of Nabha (Sky) the Second
House inherits Death inflicting effect and Jeevshooney (Merging of everything
into space) from Sarpa residing in Nabha (Sky) and Nabha (Sky) so overall this reasoning
given by me on the basis of my understandings about Vedic Literatures gave be
the basis to understand the Death inflecting Powers of Second House.
Note: A part of Predictive Jyotish is also based on Vedic
Literatures.
(vi) Reason Behind The Allotment Of Eight House As House
Of Life: In foregoing paragraphs I have proved the Second House & Seventh
House as Marka (Death Inflecting) through my valid reasoning and understanding of
Vedic Jyotish and Vedic Literatures and Eight House is Second (Marka) from Seventh
House and Seventh (Marka) from Second House and a Marka House to Two Extreme
Marka Houses (Second & Seventh Houses) is a Marka Of Death or Longevity and
thus Eight House is termed as House Of Longevity in Vedic Jyotish.
