இராசியின் பதினாறு பிரிவுகள் - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

16. Shodashans (or Kalans). Starting from Mesh for a Movable Rasi, from Simh for a Fixed Rasi and from Dhanu for a Dual Rasi, the 16 Shodashansas (16^th part of a Rasi, i.e. of 1°52’30”) are regularly distributed. The presiding deities of these repeat in the order Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Surya four times in the case of an odd Rasi. It is reverse in the case of an even Rasi, that these ruling deities are understood.

17-21. Vimshans. From Mesh for a Movable Rasi, from Dhanu for a Fixed Rasi and from Simh for a Common Rasi: this is how the calculations of Vimshansas (1/20^th of a Rasi, or 1°30’ each) are to commence. The presiding deities of the 20 Vimshansas in an odd Rasi are, respectively: Kali, Gauri, Jaya, Lakshmi, Vijaya, Vimal, Sati, Tara, Jvalamukhi, Sveta, Lalita, Bagalamukhi, Pratyangir, Shachi, Raudri, Bhavani, Varad, Jaya, Tripura and Sumukhi. In an even Rasi these 20 deities, respectively, are Daya, Megha, Chinnasi, Pisachini, Dhumavathi, Matangi, Bal, Bhadr, Arun, Anal, Pingal, Chuchchuk, Ghora, Vaarahi, Vaishnavi, Sita, Bhuvanesvari, Bhairavi, Mangal and Aparajit.

22-23. Chaturvimshans. The Chaturvimshans (1/24^th part of a Rasi, or 1°15’ each) distribution commences from Simh and Kark, respectively, for an odd and an even Rasi. In the case of an odd Rasi the ruling deities repeat twice in the order of Skand, Parusdhar, Anal, Vishwakarma, Bhag, Mitr, Maya, Antaka, Vrisha-Dwaja, Govinda, Madan and Bhima. Reverse these from Bhima twice to know the deities for the Chaturvimshans in an even Rasi.

24-26. Saptavimshans (Nakshatrans, or Bhans). The Saptavimshans Lords are, respectively, the presiding deities of the 27 Nakshatras, as under: Dastra (Ashvini Kumar), Yama, Agni, Brahma, Candr, Isa, Adhiti, Jiva, Ahi, Pitar, Bhag, Aryama, Surya, Tvasht, Marut, Chakragni, Mitr, Vasava, Rakshasa, Varuna, Vishwadeva, Govinda, Vasu, Varuna, Ajap, Ahirbuddhnya and Pushya. These are for an odd Rasis. Count these deities in a reverse order for an even Rasi. The Saptavimshans distribution commences from Mesh and other Movable Rasis for all the 12 Rasis.

27-28. Trimshans. The Trimshans Lords for an odd Rasi are Mangal, Sani, Guru, Budh and Sukr. Each of them in order rules 5, 5, 8, 7 and 5 degrees. The deities, ruling over the Trimshansas, are, respectively, Agni, Vayu, Indra, Kuber and Varuna. In the case of an even Rasi the quantum of Trimshans, Grah lordship and deities get reversed.

29-30. Khavedans (or Chatvarimshans, 1/40^th part of a Rasi). For odd Rasis count from Mesh and for an even Rasi from Tula in respect of Khavedansas (each of 45’ of arc). Vishnu, Candr, Marichi, Tvasht, Dhata, Shiva, Ravi, Yama, Yaksh, Gandharv, Kaal and Varuna repeat successively, as presiding deities, in the same order for all Rasis.
