Riṣṭa is not just restricted to the native. It extends to mother, especially at the time of delivery, to siblings and parents and elders. Parashara teaches us various principles in the combinations to determine the evils for parents. Of particular interest is the durmantra combination in the previous lesson where the afflicted Moon in the 5th house can cause death of mother instead of the native because it is not in 1,7,3 or 9 houses. In the 5th house it is maraka (2H) from the 4th bhava showing the mother.
We learn three important principles
[su_icon_text icon=”icon: male” icon_color=”#ff4a66″ icon_size=”32″]The 8H from father (9H) is the 4th house. Therefore malefics in the 4th-10th axis are particularly evil for father. Sun is the significator of father, so we count this 8th house position once from 9H and arrive at 4H. 10H is the 4-10 axis.[/su_icon_text]
[su_icon_text icon=”icon: female” icon_color=”#ff4a66″ icon_size=”32″] The 8H from mohter (4H) is the 11th house, but since the Moon is the mother significator, we count this twice, like reflected light of the Moon – this is the principle called bhavat-bhaavam. Therefore the 8th from 11H is the 6th house and this is the mrtyu bhava for mother. Malefic planets in the 6th-12th axis are particularly evil for mother.[/su_icon_text]
[su_icon_text icon=”icon: child” icon_color=”#ff4a66″ icon_size=”32″] 8th house is rudra (mrtyu) bhava for self and the 2nd-8th axis shows evils to oneself …listen to the slides and understand the rules.[/su_icon_text]
[su_icon_text icon=”icon: fire” icon_color=”red” icon_size=”32″] Memory Tip: 2-8 axis is bad for Native; 4-10 axis is bad for Father; 6-12 axis is bad for Mother. Just look for natural malefic planets in these houses and we know for sure that they shall hurt the concerned person. [/su_icon_text]
