“क्ष्री” is prosperity or excess of revenues over expenses or accumulation of wealth. Everyone is always eager to know astrologically about financial prosperity in one’s life.

Parashara as well as host of other writers have written down various wealth giving combinations like Dhana Yoga, Laxmi Yoga, Shrinath Yogas etc., At times they are not lucid and clear as given by Jaimini. Unlike Parashar, Jaimini uses many predictive lagnas etc., Karakansha Lagna, Patni Laagn, Upapada Lagan, Kaalbhava lagna, Kaalhora lagan, Kaalghati lagan, Pitree lagan, Ghatika lagan other than birth lagan for assessment of various aspects of life like career, longevity, wife, children, wealth, social respect (dignity).

Jaimini has given simple working but difficult to grasp sutras on Shreeman and Shreeheen Yogas.

लाभपदे केन्द्रेत्रिकोणे वा क्ष्रीमन्तः १८
अन्यथा दुःस्ये १९

[Translation of the sutra is requested]

Sutras define Prosperity and Poverty. The term labha is keyword but what is labha. Is it 11th bhava or 7th bhava? It is both. Rishi while stating the sources of revenues and expenses says स्तैव्यय स्व लाभः. He speaks about Labha as 11th bhava revenue and incomes. When he talks about his predictive laganas and their polar signs (7th bhavas) thereof Labha is 7th bhava etc.,

पत्नीलाभयोः दिष्टया निराभासागर्ला
[Translation of the sutra is requested]
Arooda (Padam) of Rising Lagna is Patni Arooda or Patni Pada. It is first bhava in Arudha kundli from it bhavas are counted in natural forward order. If Patni Lagna is Mesha, second bhava is Vrishabha . . ., 10th is Makara, 11th is Meena. There is no backward count.

[Saptarishis Astrology: Sir since this is new information that Arudha Lagna is Patni Aroodha, maybe a line explaining that this is a deviation from the normal known concept and readers are requested to note it. Also for a westerner they would not know the meaning of the word Patni, so in brackets if the English word for it can be written it would be helpful for all]

Prosperity is linked with accumulation of assets or wealth which is represented by 2nd bhava. Find Aroodas of 2nd bhava and 11th bhava counted from Patni Lagna. If both are in mutual kendras or trikonas it is Shreeman Yoga, incase they are mutually 6/8 or 2/12 it is Shreeheen yoga.

[SA: In brackets if Meaning of Shreeheen Yoga for westerners can be explained]

Summary Of Rules For Finding Aroodas
1) Degree or Navamsha Method: Find degrees of a sign lord and the sign. Under equal house system every sign has same degrees as of rising Ascendant.
Formula: Graha Sphuta x 2, less Bhava Sphuta = Arooda.
2) If Bhava lord is retro reduce resultant Arooda by 30 degrees.
3) Where sign lord is in any of his kendras rules are
(i) When sign lord is in its own sign, Arooda is Planet + 90 degrees.
(2) When lord is in 4th sign from its own sign, Arooda is Planet + 90 degrees.
(3) When lord is in 7th and 10th bhava Arooda is Planet + 270 degrees.
4) Where degrees are not available use signs as 2n – 1. Where n is sign number of planet from its own sign.

Impact of Shreeman Yoga is dominant and pervasive.

Chart 1
A baffling horoscope was discussed by Shri HR Shankar under horoscope of the month in Astrological magazine Feb 1979 issue at page 198.
Native born on 25-04-1918 at 6:40 hrs 12° N 18’ and 76° E 37’

Some excellent features of the chart under Parashari system are:-
a) Exchange of signs by lagna lord and 5th lord – super yoga.
b) 2nd lord Venus in 11th and occupation by 9th lord Jupiter, the 2nd – a yoga which gives luck and prosperity in abundance.
c) Malika Yoga – all signs from Lagna are occupied by six planets.
d) Jupiter as 9th lord in Kutumbha Bhava promises prosperous children. 5th lord in Lagna promises first issue as Male child.
e) 10th lord Saturn in 4th with full aspect on the 10th is surety for political success or high position in society.
f) Jupiter’s powerful aspect on the 10th bhava indicates withering heights in profession.

Facts of Life.
None of the yogas happened. Native was unfortunate, failure in life and poverty stricken. The native lost his father at age eleven. He could not as a student go beyond intermediate. He took up job at distant Bombay at age 21, dissatisfied with professional progress changed job after job with no success. He is not married and is living lonely life. At times finding square meals a day appears for him a herculean task. Every time he makes a new attempt which hold great promise, issue fizzles out surprisingly for no apparent reason and leave him frustrated but poorer than when he started.

Shri Shankar could not find out any fault (astrologically) for this chart except exchange of navamsha by Sun and Moon as reason for his misfortune.

Let us see what Shriman Yoga says about this native. There are no planetary degrees available we may use navamshas as basis.

Lagna Arooda (Patni Lagna)
Mars x 2 minus Aries
= 43 x 2 (- ) 7
= 86 – 7 = 79 Navamshas Represents Sagittarius.
Since Mars is retro reduce one sign from Sagittarius, get Scorpio as Patni Lagna.

Labha Arooda – i.e., 11th from Scorpio is Virgo.
Mercury x 2 minus Virgo
= 5 x 2 (-) [5 x 9 + 7]
= 10 – 52
= 10 + 108 – 52 = 66 Navamsha represents Scorpio

Kosha Arooda i.e., 2nd from Scorpio i.e., Sagittarius
Jupiter x 2 – Sagittarius
15 x 2 – (72 + 7) = 59 Navamsha = Libra

Labha Arooda vs Kosha Arooda mutually are in Scorpio vs Libra = 2/12 position ie., surety for poverty.

[SA: Sir pls define Kosha Arooda for young ones and westerners]

Chart 2 – A Millionaire subsists on begging bowl.

A male born on 18-08-1904 at 11:30 am. Reference Dec 1979 issue of Astrological magazine Page 911). Native was born in a very rich family, lost every asset now lives on pittance provided by his foreign based son (more details withheld)

(1) The Sun, Venus, Mercury are in the 11th should give luxurious life when Jupiter aspects lagna and 11th bhava (Parashara aspect).
(2) 10th lord and 2nd lord (the Moon and Mars) exchange signs with cancellation of Debilitation. Why is he poor?
This horoscope was discussed under Jaimini Kemadhruma yoga viz स्वापितृपदात् भाग्यरोगयो पाप साम्ये केमद्रुमः Sutra 119, Section 2, Chapter 1)
Three different phalit lagnas are referred स्व, पितृ , पद carry 1st person of 5th case (पंचम विभक्ति) signter form
Kemadruma from AK Lagna
Kemadruma from Pitree Lagna – give same result
Kemadruma from Pada Lagna

Patni Lagna (Lagna Arooda) is Gemini whose 2nd house is Cancer and 8th house is Capricorn which each has one malefic (Mars and Saturn) hence Kemadhruma. Let us see whether reverse of Shriman Yoga is also applicable.

11th house Arooda = Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer – again Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra = Libra
2nd house Arooda = Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio again Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces = Pisces.
Libra and Pisces are mutually 6/8 = Poverty.
This is common knowledge that Shri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Vivekananda, Sai of Shirdi had no wealth. Does Shriman Sutra (opposite of it) is applicable to these charts? Yes

Chart No 24 – Benazir Bhutto born 21 Jun 1953 19:43 hrs 67E03, 24N52

= 124 deg 56’ – 229 deg 16’
= Sagittarius
11th Pada
= Sun x 2 – 139 deg 16’
= 138 deg 24 – 139 deg 16’
= 359 deg 08’
= Pisces

Both Padas are in mutual kendras. Hence Rich.

The results will be more satisfactory if planetary and lagna degrees are available. Distortion in the Arooda is witnessed where lagna degrees are 5 or less while degrees of sign lord is 25° and above or vice versa. In majority of cases Aroodas by navamsa and sign serve the purpose.

There is another important Sutra which reads as
चन्द्रगुरुशुक्रेषुक्ष्रीमन्तः
If Koshapada falls in the signs of the Moon, Jupiter, Venus or occupied and/or aspected by one or more of them, the nature is Shreeman. The above 3 planets gets exaltation in their respective signs. The Moon gets exaltation in the sign of Venus (Taurus), Venus in Pisces (of Jupiter) and Jupiter in Cancer (of Moon).

Hence Koshapada should be in any of Taurus, Cancer or Pisces joined by one or more planets i.e., the Moon, Jupiter or Venus or receive their respective aspects. The more the planets are involved more riches ie., increase is in geometric progression.

The chart of Nawaz Sharif is a typical example
