📖 Lesson → 📝 Workbook → 📊 Application → ✅ Quiz

Recall

  1. Name the three Special Ascendants and the time-division each is recomputed on.

Understanding

  1. Explain the Pravritti/Poorti concept in your own words.

Application

  1. Ghati Lagna: Ishta Kaala = 8 Ghati–10 Pala. Sun's position at sunrise = 3s 0°00′00″. Compute the Ghati Lagna.

Source Awareness

  1. Is Pandit Sita Rama Jha's claim that Bhava Lagna is the only correct Ascendant part of Parashara's verse text, or translator commentary? How do you know?

Target: ~80% correct before treating the lesson as mastered.

Check Answers
  1. Bhava Lagna (5 Ghatis), Hora Lagna (2½ Ghatis), Ghati Lagna (1 Ghati) — all recomputed from sunrise.
  2. A house's effect is full strength exactly at its cusp and tapers proportionately toward nil across the 15° before (Pravritti) and 15° after (Poorti) — not a strict in/out rule.
  3. 8 Ghati → 8 signs; 10 Pala ÷ 2 = 5°. Offset = 8s5°00′00″. 3s0°00′00″ + 8s5°00′00″ = 11s5°00′00″.
  4. Translator commentary. It appears within the Notes, attributed by name to Pandit Sita Rama Jha, not within Parashara's own numbered shlokas (v.1–16).
