கிரகங்களின் பார்வை மதிப்பீடு - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

1. O Glorious, it is said, that Drishtis (of Grahas) and their strengths are to be known in deciding the effects. How many kinds are these? Please clarify doubts.

2-5. Drishtis of the Grahas. O Brahmin, I have earlier stated Drishtis, based on Rasis. The other kind is between Grahas, which I detail below. 3^rd and 10^th, 5^th and 9^th, 4^th and 8^th and lastly 7^th. On these places the Drishtis increase gradually in slabs of quarters, i.e ¼, ½, ¾ and full. The effects will also be proportionate. All Grahas give a Drishti to the 7^th fully. Sani, Guru and Mangal have special Drishtis, respectively, on the 3^rd and the 10^th, the 5^th and the 9^th and the 4^th and the 8^th. The ancient preceptors have explained these, which ordinary. By subtle mathematical calculations these Drishtis will have to be clearly understood, as under.

6-8. Evaluation of the Drishtis of the Grahas. Deduct the longitude of the Grah (or Bhava), that receives a Drishti, from that of the Grah, which gives the Drishti. If the sum exceeds six Rasis, deduct the sum again from 10 Rasis. Convert the latter sum into degrees and divide by two. The resultant product is Drishti Kona (or aspectual angle). If the difference is in excess of 5 Rasis, ignore the Rasis and multiply the degrees etc. by 2, which is the value of the Drishti. If the difference is in excess of 4 Rasis, deduct it from 5 Rasis, and the resultant degees etc. become the Drishti value. If the difference is in excess of 3 Rasis, deduct it from 4 Rasis and (increase 30 by) halve the product to get the Drishti value. If the difference is above 2 Rasis, ignore the Rasis and add 15 to the degrees etc. to get the Drishti value. If it is in excess of one Rasi, ignore the Rasis and divide the degrees by 2 to get the Drishti value.
