📖 Lesson📝 Workbook📊 Application✅ Quiz


Recall

  1. State the significations of the 1st and 9th houses.

Understanding

  1. Explain what the prosperity/affliction rule forward-references without teaching, and why.

Application

  1. A house's lord is aspected by a benefic and is in a youthful/awakened Avastha. Per v.14–16, is this house prospering or afflicted?

Source Awareness

  1. Is the "evil houses" list (3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 12th) in v.14–16's Notes part of Parashara's own verse text, or the translator's bracketed gloss?

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

Check Answers
  1. 1st house: physique, appearance, intellect, complexion, vigour/weakness, joy and sorrow, innate nature. 9th house: fortune, wife's brother, religion, brother's wife, pilgrimages.
  2. It forward-references Avastha (a planet's state — youthful, old, asleep, dead, etc.), explicitly not taught until Ch. 47 — the translator's own Notes state this directly.
  3. Prospering — both conditions (benefic aspect, good Avastha) match the prosperity side of the rule.
  4. The translator's bracketed gloss — the underlying Sanskrit ("त्रिकेशाद्यैः," trik-lords-and-others) is not a closed, itemized list in Parashara's own verse text.
