Avasthas of Grahas
1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have earlier stated, that the Avasthas, or states of the Grahas are to be considered in the context of the effects of the Grahas. Be so kind to tell me about this. 2. O excellent of Brahmins, various kinds of Avasthas of the Grahas have been ex ounded. Out of these, ! "ill #ive you the summary of Baal $infant% and other states of the Grahas. &. Baal, 'umar, (uv, )riddh and Mrit Avastha $Baal Adi Avasthas%. !nfant, youthful, adolescent, old and dead are the states of the Grahas, laced in the ascendin# order at the rate of six de#rees in odd *ashis. !n the case of even *ashis this arran#ement is in reverse order. $)riddh + Advanced, Mrit + !n extremis% ,. *esults. One fourth, half, full, ne#li#ible and nil are the #rades of the results, due to a Grah in infant, youthful, adolescent, old and dead Avasthas. -. A"akenin#, .reamin# and /lee in# /tates. !f a Grah is in its o"n *ashi, or in exaltation, it is said to be in a state of a"akenin# $alertness%. !n the *ashi of a friend, or of a neutral it is in dreamin# state, "hile in an enemy0s *ashi, or in debilitation it is in a state of slee in#. 1. Accordin# to a Grah, bein# in A"akenin#, .reamin#, or /lee in# states, the results, due to it "ill be full, medium, or nil. 2. Other 'inds of /tates. 3here are nine kinds of other Avasthas, vi4. .i t, /"asth, Pramudit, /hanta, .in, )ikal, .uhkhit, 'hal and 'o . 5+16. !f a Grah is in its exaltation *ashi, it is in .i t Avastha, if in its o"n *ashi, it is in /"asth, if in a #reat friend0s *ashi, it is in Pramudit, if in a friendly *ashi, it is in /hanta, if in a neutral *ashi, it is in .in, if a Grah is yuti "ith a malefic, it is in )ikal, if is in an enemy0s *ashi, it is in .uhkhit, if in a #reat enemy0s *ashi, it is in 'hal and, if a Grah is bein# ecli sed by /7rya, it is in 'o . .e endin# on such a state of the Grah, the Bhava, occu ied by it "ill obtain corres ondin# effects. 11+15. (et other Avasthas. 8a99it, Garvit, 'shudhit, 3rushit, Mudit and 'shobhit are the other kinds of Avasthas, due to the Grahas. Placed in Putr Bhava, if a Grah is associated "ith *ahu, or 'etu, or "ith /7rya, :ani, or Man#al, it is in 8a99it Avastha. !f a Grah is in exaltation, or in Mooltrikon, it is Garvit. !f a Grah is in an enemy0s *ashi, or yuti "ith an enemy, or receives a .rishti from an enemy, or even, if a Grah is yuti "ith :ani, the Avastha is 'shudhit. !f a Grah is in a "atery *ashi and receives a .rishti from a malefic, but does not receive a .rishti from a benefic, the Avastha is called 3rushit. !f a Grah is in a friendly *ashi, or is yuti "ith, or receives a .rishti from a benefic, or is yuti "ith Guru, it is said to be in Mudit Avastha. !f a Grah is yuti "ith /7rya and receives a .rishti from, or is yuti "ith a malefic, or receives a .rishti from an enemy, it is said to be in 'shobhit. 3he Bhavas, occu ied by a Grah in 'shudhit, or in 'shobhit, are destroyed.
