📖 Lesson📝 Workbook📊 Application✅ Quiz


Recall

  1. Name the six Vargas of the Shadvarga grouping.

Understanding

  1. Explain the general construction pattern shared by all sixteen Vargas.

Application

  1. A student wants to examine progeny (sons/grandsons) specifically. Which Varga should they consult first, per Ch. 8 v.1–8?

Source Awareness

  1. Is the full lordship ("Chakra") table for each Varga part of Parashara's own numbered verse text, or a translator-supplied reference table?

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

Check Answers
  1. Lagna, Hora, Drekkana, Navamamsha, Dwadasamsha, Trimshamsha.
  2. Divide each sign into N equal parts; assign a starting sign/point by a stated rule (own sign / Nth sign / movable-fixed-dual-based / odd-even-based); assign lords or deities in a repeating sequence across the parts.
  3. Saptamamsha (D7) — Ch. 8 v.2 (sons and grandsons).
  4. Translator-supplied reference tables. The verse text states the construction rule in words (with one or two illustrative examples); the Chakra tables that follow are the translator's own summarizing tool, not Parashara's numbered shlokas.
