ग्रहाधिकार-अध्यायःBPHS Ch. 3 — Authorities of the Grahas

Grahādhikāra-adhyāya — Pārāśara establishes the kārakatva matrix — what each graha rules and signifies. The interpretive 'cross-reference' that pairs with bhāva-analysis.

viṣaya-sūcī · what this module covers

  • Each graha's natural authority (kārakatva)
  • Domain-of-rulership — Sūrya rules the day, government, royalty
  • Body-rulership — each graha governs specific body-parts
  • Caste, profession, gemstone correspondences

saṃkṣepa

Pārāśara's Ch. 3 is the canonical chapter on graha-kārakatva — what each graha rules and signifies. This is the second leg of the two-pointer interpretive system: the bhāva tells you the life-domain, the kāraka tells you the graha most-specifically-tied to that domain. When the bhāva-lord is weak but the kāraka is strong, the domain-signification still flows through the kāraka's pathway.

Each graha has multi-layered kārakatva: a natural-kāraka (e.g., Jupiter for children), a body-kārakatva (Sūrya for the head/heart, Candra for blood/lungs), a domain-kārakatva (Sūrya for government, Maṅgala for the military, Bṛhaspati for academia and law). BPHS Ch. 14 enumerates these explicitly.

    For any chart at /chart, look at the 5th bhāva-lord AND Jupiter (the putra-kāraka). If both are strong, classical interpretation says children-related significations are well-supported; if either is weak, the other can still carry the signification through.
