கிரகங்களின் காரக அவஸ்தை - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

13-17. Other Karakas. The Grah next to Atma Karak in terms of longitude is called Amatya Karak. Similarly following one another in terms of longitude are Bhratru Karak, Matru Karak, Pitru Karak, Putr Karak, Gnati Karak and Stri Karak. These are Char Karakas, or inconstant significators. Some consider Matru Karak and Putr Karak, as identical. If two Grahas have the same longitude, both become the same Karak, in which case there will be a deficit of one Karak. In that circumstance consider constant significator in the context of benefic/malefic influence for the concerned relative.

18-21. Constant Karakatwas. I narrate below the constant Karakatwas, as related to the Grahas. The stronger among Surya and Sukr indicates the father, while the stronger among Candr and Mangal indicates the mother. Mangal denotes sister, brother-in-law, younger brother and mother. Budh rules maternal relative, while Guru indicates paternal grand father. Husband and sons are, respectively, denoted by Sukr and Sani. From Ketu note wife, father, mother, parents-in law and maternal grand father. These are constant Karakatwas.
