VIŚIṢṬA-LAGNA · FIVE DERIVED ASCENDANTS

Special lagnas · विशिष्ट-लग्नानि

Five ancillary ascending points beyond the janma-lagna — Bhāva, Horā, Ghaṭika, Indu, Śrī. Three are fixed-stride clocks from sunrise; two are arithmetic on the Moon and lagna. BPHS CH. 5 · PHALADĪPIKĀ 6 · JAIMINI 1.2.16–20

P202 · लग्न-प्रवृत्तिः · lagna-pravṛttiḥ

Each specialised lagna is a fixed-stride walk from the janma-lagna start — the period is forced by the stride. The positions are arithmetic; their reading is tradition.

पञ्च-लग्नानि · The five ascendants

bhāva · horā · ghaṭika · indu · śrī

Indu and Śrī values below are a worked example computed from a fixed reference moment — 1990-01-01 06:00 IST · 26.1664°N 91.7059°E — not your chart.

भाव-लग्नम् · Bhāva-Lagna

Advances one sign per ghaṭikā-pair from sunrise — the lived-day tempo. Each 48-minute slice maps one bhāva of the day's ascendant cycle.

rate · 1 sign per 48 minutes from sunrise

BPHS 5.18–20

होरा-लग्नम् · Horā-Lagna

Twice the Bhāva rate — one sign per 24 minutes. Phaladīpikā applies it where the day-cycle resolves to the hour-cycle, notably in commerce-related muhūrta work.

rate · 1 sign per 24 minutes from sunrise

Phaladīpikā 6.5

घटिका-लग्नम् · Ghaṭika-Lagna

The fastest derived lagna — one sign per 12 minutes, and therefore sensitive to birth-time rectification. Tradition reads its lord's natal placement for power and recognition.

rate · 1 sign per 12 minutes from sunrise

BPHS 5.21

इन्दु-लग्नम् · Indu-Lagna

The Moon's prosperity-lagna — kalā-sum of the Moon-nakṣatra-lord and the 9th-cusp-nakṣatra-lord, counted forward from the Moon's rāśi.

BPHS 5.36–42

श्री-लग्नम् · Śrī-Lagna

The Lakṣmī ascendant — the arc Moon-longitude − lagna-longitude, located on the sidereal wheel. Tradition reads it for fortune and the marital axis.

प्रयोगः · Classical reading patterns

tradition-attributed · not asserted

timing precision

For event-timing within a day, the texts read the transiting grahas against the Bhāva / Horā / Ghaṭika progressions; a window where all three align with a benefic is rated highest.

BPHS 5.22 · trikāla-lagna-saṃyoga

wealth-axis cross-read

BPHS reads the 2nd and 11th from Indu-Lagna; when both rulers stand dignified in the natal D1, it names the pattern a dhana-yoga.

BPHS 5.40 · indu-dvitīya-niyama

marriage-context lens

Jaimini cross-reads the 7th from Śrī-Lagna with the D9 navāṃśa; agreement of dignity-class between the two is the pattern the text rates as harmonious.

Jaimini 1.2.20 · śrī-saptama

These are the texts' patterns, stated as attribution — not outcomes promised by this page. No fear, no remedies sold.

janma-lagna + Moon longitude suffice

The chart caster computes the janma-lagna and the Moon's exact sidereal longitude — sufficient to derive Indu-Lagna, Śrī-Lagna, and the three stride lagnas for any moment.

The five lagnas are additional reading-frames; their qualitative integration belongs to the learned jyotiṣī.
