Marriage -Matching as per Sukra Nadi by Yenbeeyes

Article by Yenbeeyes

As far as marriage matching is concerned, we come across numerous articles, books and now even on line matching of charts has come in place. Hence many readers might not be interested in yet another variation of the techniques already in vogue. But for the sake of knowing what has been stated in one of the ancient NADI texts, I ventured upon to write this article.

I must now say a few words about one of the oldest Astrologers, old not only in age (he is 92 years) but also in practicing Astrology [Or should I use the word-experienced]. He lives in Chennai and he is called as Nakkirar Natarajan. Many of you would have heard about the name ‘Nakkirar’, one of the Tamil poets who argued with

Lord Shiva and was burnt alive (and of course subsequently brought to life). I do not want to go into the story of Nakkirar here. Readers can have the same from the net – Wikipedia also gives an account of the story. Just like Nakkirar, Our Guru Natarajan, in an Astrological conference argued with many stalwarts on one astrological principle. While all others were wrong, the rule as stated by Natarajan was found to be correct and hence in the same conference he was conferred the title ‘Nakkirar’. He has to his credit many such titles, appreciations etc. etc. He has also authored many books in Tamil.  It was he, who was instrumental in making me pen this article. The verses were taken from ‘Sukra Nadi’ and a literal translation is given here. Sukra Nadi is said to contain 12000 verses of which some are in his possession.

Introduction to Sukra Nadi:

Sukra Nadi was compiled by Rishi Suka and was inaugurated (what they call in tamil as Arangetram) in the presence of the Sapta rishis. It is in the form of clearing doubts raised by the disciples. Though not a conversation type, after each chapter, the student informs his master that he has understood the technique narrated by him and proceeds to ask the next question. It is said there are 1500 charts for each Lagna in this treatise and so for the 12 Lagnas it makes a whooping 18,000 charts. This is entirely written in Tamil language and as on date nobody has got the possession of the entire volume according to informations gathered by me. It totally differs from other Nadi Granthas like Chandra Kala Nadi or Dhruva Nadi wherein the 150 Nadi Amsas form the basics of prediction. A portion of this great work was first brought out in a printed form by the late Ramaswamy Pillai whose descendants are still continuing with the publication of this book. One of his disciples by name Aryamuthu Pillai has written the meanings of some of the verses taking into consideration 1500 charts @ one chart per Lagna.  This Tamil prose version also has additional information about various other classics like Pannerayiram (12 thousand), Subramaneeyam, Beerangi Thirattu etc. All the above facts have been stated in the published edition itself. Our hearty acknowledgement and gratitude are due to the said poet as well as to his disciples and publishers.

The beauty of this match making as given in Sukra Nadi is – apart from the regular agreements like Tara, Gana, Mahindra etc., there are two agreements which are of special importance. One is the Longevity agreement and the other is the quantification of the Dosha or the blemish in the charts. So in this article I have given elaborate notes on these two agreements leaving the rest as a literal translation of the verses.

Readers are requested to test these two agreements and find out the results before proceeding for pronouncing the agreement between the charts of the boy and the girl. Now on to the verses.

Auspicious agreements

Verse 881

The disciple addressing the God asks Him to tell him about the favourable agreements for boys and girls to be seen before marriage.

Verse 882

There are thirteen agreements to be seen between a girl and a boy before marriage and they are Dinam (Nakshatra/Tara), Mahendra, Yoni, Rasi, Rasi Lord, Gana, Rajju, Streedirgam, Pakshi (Bird), Longevity, Veda, Vasyam, Tree.

றுங்கிரண்டுபத்தெற்ற மூன்றாறெட்டொன்பதுமாம்.   (883)

1. Agreement in respect of Dinam (Tara Kuta) – Verse 883

Count from the girl’s birth star to that of the boy’s Birth Nakshatra and if the count is 2-4-6-8-9-10-12-14-16-19-22 then there is Dina agreement.

Author’s Notes:

This is a simple calculation given in the verse. But according to Natarajan there are as many as 12 subsidiary rules which are also to be taken into consideration. I am not going into the details of such rules here. They are available in the book titled “Matching for marriage by Kutas and Birth charts’ authored by Natarajan himself and available in the Saptarishis Astrology Book Shop at https://shop.saptarishisastrology.com . Readers can refer to Chapter 3 of the said book for detailed information on this agreement.

2. Agreement of Gana – Verse 884

The 9 nakshatras Aswini, Mrigasirsha, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hastha, Swathi, Anuradha, Sravana, and Revathi are said to be of Deva Gana (of God). Now we will see the Manushya (of human).

பரணிரோகணியாதிரை பகருமுப்பூரம்

கரவிலாத்திரியுத்ரமென்பது நரர்கணமாம்

Verse 885-886

The 9 nakshatras Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Purvaphalguni, Purvashada, Purvabhadrapada, Uthraphalguni, Utrashada, and Uttrabhadrapada are said to be of Manushya Gana and the remaining 9 Nakshatras belong to Rakshasa (Demon) Gana.

In this if the girl’s birth star and the boy’s birth star belong to the same Gana there is good agreement. If it is a combination of Deva Gana and Rakshasa Gana they are said to be inimical. If the combination is of Manushya Gana and Rakshasa Gana there will be loss of life. The combination of Manushya Gana and Deva Gana is said to have a moderate agreement.

Author’s Notes:

For a detailed explanation of Gana agreement as well as exceptions kindly refers to the above stated book.

3. Agreement of Kendra – Verse 887

Count from girl’s birth star to that of the boy’s birth star and if the counting is in the following there is said to be a good Kendra agreement:

1-4-7-10-13-16-19-22-25 are the numbers that should come when counted from girl’s birth star to that of the boy’s.

Author’s Notes:

Mahendra Kuta and Dina Kuta are somewhat contradictory. Hence majority astrologers are not in favour of this agreement. The great stalwart Late P.S.Iyer has written much on this agreement as also the combination of agreements – Tara, Rasi, Stree Dirga and Mahendra.

4-ஆவது ஸ்திரீ தீர்க்கப் பொருத்தம்

4. Stree Deerga agreement – Verse 888

If the counting from the girl’s birth star is above 13 it is said to be an excellent agreement.  Now listen to the Yoni agreement.

Author’s Notes:

Here also there are controversies. The birth star of the boy must be beyond 9 from the girl’s birth star and some say it should be beyond 7. Sri Natarajan here explained to me the logic behind this. The first 9 stars starting from the girl’s will be within 4 houses (at the rate of 2 and a quarter nakshatra for each house) of girl’s rasi. The 1^st house is the Chandra Lagna, 2^nd is the family, 3^rd is the brother and 4^th is the mother. If the boy’s star falls within these 4 houses, he may be from a blood relation or a close relative. Hence it should be beyond the house of mother which means anything above 9.

5. Yoni agreement – Verse 889

If the Yoni of both (boy and girl) are one and the same or if both are female yoni it is good. There will be no agreement if either the yonis are different or inimical one or both are male yonis.

Author’s Notes:

Each star is assigned an animal-a male and a female categorization is also given to them. Such details have been omitted for want of space and the same can be had from any standard book on match making.

6. Rasi agreement – Verse 890

When counted from the girl’s Rasi (house where Moon is posited) if the boy’s rasi is more than 6, it is good. There will be increase in wealth, name and fame as well as longevity. Next we will say about the agreement between Rasi Lords.

7. Agreement between Rasi Lords – Verse 891

If the girl’s Rasi Lord and the boy’s Rasi lord are friends, the agreement is a healthy one and if the lords are enemies, there is no agreement.

Author’s Notes:

There are about 8 rules beautifully explained by Natarajan in his book and hence details are omitted here.

8. Vasya agreement – Verse 892-893-894

For Aries – Leo and Scorpio are Vasya. For Taurus rasi – Cancer and Libra are Vasya. If it is Gemini then Virgo is Vasya; For Cancer – Scorpio and Sagittarius are Vasya, for Leo – Capricorn is Vasya, For Virgo rasi – Taurus and Pisces are Vasya, For Libra – Capricorn is Vasya, For Scorpio rasi – Cancer and Virgo are Vasya, For Sagittarius-Pisces, For Capricorn-Aquarius, for Aquarius-Pisces and for Pisces-Capricorn are Vasya. If in this manner the Rasis are in agreement, there is Vasya agreement and the boy and the girl will have an excellent life.

Author’s Notes:

There are certain differences in this Vasya agreement. They are highlighted in the above translation. For Taurus come take Leo instead of Libra. For Leo it is taken as Libra instead of Capricorn as stated above. For Virgo instead of Taurus they take Pisces. For Scorpio Virgo is taken and for Sagittarius Virgo is omitted as Vasya Rasi by some. For Capricorn in addition to Aquarius, Aries is also taken as Vasya Rasi. Similarly for Aquarius Aries is taken instead of Pisces as stated above. Readers are requested to carefully note this difference.

9. Rajju agreement – Verse 895-896

Draw three triangles and draw three cross lines across the triangle to make 4 divisions of each of the triangle. Place Aswini nakshatra on the bottom line left and going up place each of the nakshatras as shown below.

The line at the bottom (the base of the triangle) is Padha or Foot, the one above it is Thigh or Ooru, the one above this is Naval or Nabhi, the one above that is Neck or Kanta and the top is called as Head or Siro.

கேளுகாலுற் பொருளோடு கேடுமாம்

வருகுறங்கினுங்கழுத்திற் சிரத்திற்பொலாங்

கொருவிநிற்பதே யுத்தமமாகுமே.   (898)

Verse 897-898

If the nakshatras of the boy and girl fall under Padha or Foot there will be loss of wealth. If they fall under Thigh or Ooru the girl will become impotent. The Naval or Nabhi combination will result in loss of progeny, for Neck or Kanta it will lead to inauspiciousness and the head or Siro combination will result in harm to the girl. In case the combination is of Padha and Thigh it can be treated as a moderate agreement and for a combination of Kanta and Siro is inauspicious and the rest of the combinations are good.

Author’s Notes:

I once again would like to remind the readers that I have provided only the translation of the Verses here. In olden days, our elders were keen that marriages between boy and girl must be matched as far as possible. So they have provided various exceptions to avoid rigid views.

In line with the above understanding, they have given a list of antidotes especially for Rajju agreement. According to Natarajan there are as many as 113 combinations where the exceptions are applicable to each pair of stars which are the birth stars of the girl and boy respectively or vice versa.

10. Veda Agreement – Verse 899-900

Draw a triangle and draw four slanting lines one on the left side and another on the right side and a third one parallel to the base of the triangle as shown in the diagram above. Write the nakshatras from Aswini starting from the bottom left hand corner and going up in the clockwise direction and then coming down ending Revathi at the bottom itself. If a male nakshatra and a female nakshatra comes in the line going across the triangle there is no Veda agreement. If they stand in the different lines the agreement is good.

Author’s Notes:

Some say instead of male and female Nakshatra, Arohana and Avarohana stars.

11-வது மரப்பொருத்தம்

11. Tree agreement – Verse 901-902

If the nakshatra of the husband is of hard tree (can say it as an old tree) and the wife’s nakshatra is that of a tree with milk (can say it as a young tree) there will be progeny. If husband’s nakshatra is a young tree and the wife’s nakshatra is hard tree, wife will become impotent and if both belong to hard tree category there will be loss of progeny and if both belong to milk tree there will be increase in progeny.

Author’s Notes:

According to Natarajan, this is not an important agreement to be seen and is also not in practice.

12. Bird agreement – Verse 903

If the bird as indicated by the birth constellation of both husband and wife are friendly or related life will be prosperous and if they have enmity life will be with hurdles.

Author’s Notes:

This is not an important agreement to be seen and is also not in practice.

13. Longevity agreement – Verse 904-905-906

Count from the girl’s birth star to that of the boy and multiply by 7 and divide by 27 and note down the reminder. Similarly count from the boy’s birth star to that of the girl and multiply by 7 and divide by 27 and note down the reminder. Out of these two reminders, the person whose reminder is less compared to the other, that person will pass away first. With this the 13 types of agreements have been told by elders.

Author’s Notes:

A word of caution is needed here. This agreement is in no way a yardstick for judging the longevity of either the boy or the girl. There are very many combinations and methods to judge the longevity of a chart. That depends on the strength of the Lagna, 8^th house, Lagna lord, Lord of 8^th house and Karaka Saturn. According to Dr. B.V.Raman there are as many as 32 methods to judge the longevity and there is no full proof method by which one can arrive at the correct time of death of a person. Hence before assessing the method described in this Kuta, it is advisable to study the longevity of the boy and the girl from the accepted principles. There after this agreement can be verified.

The idea behind this agreement is to have an idea of who will predecease whom so that one need not bear the agony of the loss of the other. Also an experiment with this rule does not yield the desired or the expected results which readers can verify themselves.

Method Explained:

1. Count from the girl’s birth star to the boy’s birth star and multiply the number so obtained by 7 and divide this product by 27. Note the remainder. Call it Girl’s remainder, let it be ‘G’.
2. Count in the reverse direction from the boy’s birth star to the girl’s birth star. Multiply the number so obtained by 7 and divide the product by 27. Note the remainder. Call it boy’s remainder. Let it be ‘B’.
3. One whose remainder is less will die first.

Example:

Let the Girl’s star be Aswini and that of the boy Uthraphalguni

1. Counting from Aswini to Uthraphalguni we get 12

12 x 7 = 84 ÷ 27 = 3 Q-3 R

2. Counting from Uthraphalguni to Aswini we get 17

17 x 7 = 119 ÷ 27 = 4 Q-11 R

Wife remainder is less than 11. So wife will predecease her husband.

(Some people include the star Abhjit also and take the total count as 28)

If we prepare a table for the numbers got from Girl’s star to boy’s star and also vice versa and work out the remainder for each we will find the following results:

1. If the number is odd the girl’s remainder is biggest indicating husband’s death earlier.
2. If the number is even, the girl’s remainder is less indicating the wife predeceasing the husband.

A table for the above calculations are available in Natarajan’s book stated above.

This is the reason why in Dina Kuta 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th and 8^th stars from the girl’s star in each paryayam are considered as auspicious.

When the boys star is beyond 14 from the girls star the difference between the two remainder is less indicating desirable life span.

செப்புகின்றவெங்குருவேயுமதுபாதஞ்

Verse 907

Oh! My Dear and respected and learned teacher! In this earth, it is difficult and rare to have all the 13 agreements, which are the essential agreements that are required for marriage. Tell me more about the same.

அருள்செய்வாயென்றவன் புள்ளபாலகா

Verse 908

Oh Son! The essential agreements are Nakshatra, Gana, Rajju and Vedha. If these four are favourable, marriage can be performed.

Author’s Notes:

In olden days there were four classifications of Caste. According to the caste system, elders have prescribed certain agreements which are essential for each caste. It is also stated elsewhere that Rajju agreement is essential for all castes and we do not find that in this verse. Also nowadays, we are above such caste considerations and hence, there is no point in considering which agreement is essential and which are not. P.S.Iyer asks: “Can you quote any reference from any Puranas that matching was essential or done before marriage? Hence attaching too much importance to the so called Kutas or agreements is not advised for.” This view is supported by Sukra Nadi also as seen from the following verses.

வருகவொருமன்னவனுங் குதிரைதன்னில்

மகந்தனிலேமங்கையரு முதிக்கவேதான்

இருவருக்குமணம் புரியமகவில்லாமல்

இடர்படாமனவெறுப்பாய்க் கலகமேய்வர்

பெருகுபொருள் மைந்தர்களும் பெறுவாளிந்தப்

பெட்பதனைத்திட்ப நுட்பம்பேசுவீரே.      (909)

Verse 909

A boy born in the constellation of Aswini, if he marries a girl born in the nakshatra of Maka, he will suffer from childlessness and will result in mental dissatisfaction and quarrels. This is one rule. Another rule is a boy with Aswini as birth star will have one wife and will have children with much wealth and finance. Like this there two conflicting rules for the same star, you should analyse the minuteness of the rules and then should give proper prediction.

செப்பயானுந் திடமனதாகநில்

Verse 910

Further listen that there are two types of agreements one is the agreement of the body (Sareera)  and the other is the agreement of the life (Jeeva).

உண்டுசொன்னதுடலின் பொருத்தமே

அண்டியபதின் முன்றுஞ்சரிவரில்

விண்டுயிர்ப் பொருத்தம் விலக்காய்விடில்

தண்டுளுச்சகடங்களிதாகுமே.    (911)

Verse 911

The above said 13 agreements are of body (Sareera). In case they are favourable and the agreements in respect of Jeeva are not favourable one will suffer.

அண்ணலேவுடலாம் பொருத்தங்களை

Verse 912

Oh! Mu Guru! You told me about the agreements of the Sareera earlier and I heard it. Now I request you to tell me the agreements for the Jeeva.

Verse 913-914-915

The Dosha or blemish arising on account of the malefics is to be treated as below:

If the malefics are placed in 1-2-7-8 from Lagna, Venus and Moon the amount of blemish is full.

If Mars is placed in the 12^th (from the above 3 positions) blemish is quarter portion.

If the rest of the malefics are in their own houses, they will have half blemish.

In case they are placed in their exaltation positions, the blemish will be three quarter, when placed in the friendly houses quarter blemish and when placed in enemy houses full blemish will have to be taken into consideration.

When such malefics are in their debilitation signs the blemish will be one and a quarter.

Thus one should evaluate and tell the Dosha or blemish.

மங்கையாணுக்கு மிவ்வண்ணமாகவே

பங்கமாகிய பாபத்தைக் கண்டிடு

அங்குப் பெண்ணுக்கமைந்ததைப் போலவே

தங்குமாணுக்கிரட்டிதான் வேண்டுமே.    (916)

Verse 916

Thus calculate the blemish that accrues to the boy as well as the girl and the ideal situation would be that the blemish of the boy should be at least twice that of the girl.[It should not exceed two times that of the girl]

தெருண்டுகாணினு நன்கெனச்செப்புவார்.      (917)

Verse 917

When the husband gets twice the amount of blemish to that of his wife, he will get good and many issues and will be enjoying many yogas. Or if at least the ratio is one to one and a half (between girl and boy) then also good results are likely to come.

பெண்ணின் பாபத்திற் பெற்றிடமேலதா

வண்ணல் பாபங்கால் கூடினுமாக்கமே

பெண்ணின் பாபங்கால் கூடிற்பெறும்பிழை

யண்ணலாயுளறுத்திடுமென்பரே.           (918)

Verse 918

In case the blemish of the boy exceeds that of the girl by a quarter marriage can be done. If the blemish of the girl is more than quarter of that boy that will kill the husband or separate him from the girl. [In other words, the Dosha of the girl should never exceed that of the boy]

வயகத்தினிலுடற் பொருத்தங்களுமலிய

வெய்யதாக வேயுயிர்ப் பொருத்தங்களும் விளைந்தாற்

செய்யவேமணஞ்சிறப்பொடு புத்திரர் செழிக்கும்

உய்யுயிர்ப் பொருத்தஞ்சடப் பொருத்தத்தினுயர்வே.    (919)

Verse 919

It is stated that if there are Sareera as well Jeeva agreements are favourable, marriage can be performed. There will be increase in progeny. If there is no Jeeva agreement everything will get spoiled or destroyed. Hence Jeeva agreement is higher or better than Sareera agreement.

ஐயனேயிதுவரையில் யாங்கேட்டதையறைந்து

மெய்யனே மனத்தையத்தையறுத்து நீர்விட்டீர்

துய்யனேயினி துவாதச பாகமும் சொல்லி

வையகத்துளோர் மதிப்புற விதிப்படி வழுத்தீர்.    (920)

Verse 920

My teacher, till this time you have explained what I asked and have cleared my doubts. Now I would request you to tell me about the 12 bhavas as per rules so that people on earth will understand the same clearly.

Explanatory notes for Verses beginning from 913:

In order to quantify the Dosha or the blemish I will take the maximum or the full points for each Dosha as 4

1. Malefics in 1, 2, 7 and 8^th houses from Lagna, Moon and Venus – Full – 4 points. (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are treated as malefics)
2. Mars in the 12^th from Lagna, Moon and Venus – Quarter – 1 point.
3. Malefics other than Mars in rest of the houses if they are their own house – half – 2 points.
4. Placement in exaltation houses – three and a quarter – 3 points.
5. If such placement houses are friendly houses – quarter – 1 point.
6. If those houses belong to their enemies – full – 4 points.
7. If the placement house is its debilitation house the Dosha is one and a quarter – 5 points.

Conclusion:

Sri Natarajan has given a different approach for the above theory and he has given a slightly modified method to calculate the Dosha arising out of the placement of the malefics in specific houses -called as ‘DOSHA SAMYAM’. Readers can study the same in his book mentioned elsewhere in the Article. P.S. Iyer has also stated that apart from the Dosha caused by Mars, the planets Saturn, Sun and Rahu also cause similar Dosha. According to him Mars causes 100 % Dosha, Saturn causes 75 % Dosha, Sun causes 50 % Dosha and Rahu causes 25 % Dosha. According to Natarajan, Rahu causes the least Dosha followed by Sun, Saturn and Mars in ascending order. If Rahu causes one unit of Dosha, Sun produces twice that of Rahu, Saturn creates 3 times that of Rahu and Mars 4 times that of Rahu.  He advises us to consider the placement of these malefics from Lagna, Moon and Venus with the same percentage for placement in Lagna, 2^nd and 4^th house, and a higher percentage for 7^th and 8^th house and the least for the 12^th house. For the Lagna, 2^nd and 4^th houses if 3 units are assigned, then for the 12^th house assign 1 unit and for the 7^th house 5 units and for the 8^th house 6 units must be assigned. He maintains the portion of Dosha with regard to the own house, Exaltation, friendly and inimical houses as well as debilitation houses as per this Nadi rule. But while calculating the Dosha from Lagna he takes it as full and from the Moon 50 % of the calculated Dosha and from Venus only 25 % of the calculated Dosha. While giving the results Natarajan says that the Dosha in the two charts should be equal or it can be more in the boy’s chart. On no account the Dosha in the girl’s chart should be more than the boy’s chart. Dosha in the boy’s chart can be double than in girl’s chart. Beyond that is not desirable and should be rejected. I shall be writing a separate article with example charts on this topic shortly.
