Uttara Kalamrita : Section IV: Sloka 19: Chhadaka Graha

The Sloka is in two parts

Part I:

The following planets will be chhadakas(Defined later in explanation) for the second and twelveth signs from their

position:

1) Full Moon
2) Jupiter
3) Saturn
4) Ketu

If Jupiter is a lord of malefic houses(dushsthana) then it will be chhadaka for 12th house from itself.

If other planets viz. Full, Moon, Saturn, Ketu are lords of malefic houses then they will act as chhadakas for the

2nd house from itself only.

Part II:

Auspicious results accrue to the native if there is relationship between the lords of houses (bhavas) and the

significators of those houses.

The relationship can be through (As mentioned in one of the earlier slokas) :

1) Interchange
2) Mutual Aspect
3) Lord of the Rasi aspecting a planet in its Rasi
4) Posited Together

Explanation:

The Term chhadaka is a sanskrit term and it means shadowing. Thus a planet shadows the planets which are in 2nd and

12th houses (bhavas) from itself.

Relationship between the house lord and its significator would enhance the results of that house. E.g. 5th Lord and

natural significator Jupiter having connection will result in enhancing the significations of the 5th house.
