📖 Lesson → 📝 Workbook → 📊 Application → ✅ Quiz
Recall¶
- Name the six Vargas of the Shadvarga grouping.
Understanding¶
- Explain the general construction pattern shared by all sixteen Vargas.
Application¶
- A student wants to examine progeny (sons/grandsons) specifically. Which Varga should they consult first, per Ch. 8 v.1–8?
Source Awareness¶
- 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
- Lagna, Hora, Drekkana, Navamamsha, Dwadasamsha, Trimshamsha.
- 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.
- Saptamamsha (D7) — Ch. 8 v.2 (sons and grandsons).
- 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.
