Chart: Student — Visakhapatnam 1989 (Arudha Pada Illustration)
- Class: 53
- Chart type: Natal
- Date of birth: July 5, 1989
- Time of birth: 2:07 PM
- Place of birth: Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Andhra Pradesh, India
- Native: Student (anonymous; chart used as teaching example)
Key placements
- Lagna: Libra (Tula)
- Moon: Cancer (Kataka) — emotionally receptive, nurturing, home-oriented
- Moon characteristics: Cancer Moon with Libra lagna = natural sense of justice combined with emotional depth; receptive learner
Purpose of analysis
This chart was used to illustrate the four-level manifestation model for arudha padas:
- Bhava (house) = internal capacity
- Bhava Pada (Arudha = Ax) = tangible external object/manifestation
- Graha (planet = lord of the house) = intelligence/attitude applied to that capacity
- Graha Arudha = world's perception of that intelligence
PVR used the 4th house in this chart to demonstrate:
- 4th bhava = capacity for comfort/movement
- A4 = the actual car/house the world sees
- 4th lord = how the native thinks/feels about comfort
- Graha arudha of 4th lord = how the world perceives the native's attitude toward comfort
Arudha computation demonstrated
PVR walked through Parasara's formula (BPHS Chapter 29) using this chart:
- Count N signs from the house to its lord
- Count the same N signs from the lord forward
- Result = arudha pada
- Exception: if result = the house itself or its 7th → take 10th from the house instead
The Libra lagna and Cancer Moon provided specific examples for computing AL (Arudha Lagna) and other arudha padas to demonstrate the principles.
Context
This chart appeared during PVR's commentary on BPHS Chapter 29 (Bhavapada Adhyaya). The class covered:
- Sanskrit verses of Chapter 29 with translation and commentary
- The complete definition of bhava vs. graha vs. pada
- Results from the 11th from arudha (gains and king-like status if all planets there)
- The linguistic analogy: bhava = meaning; pada = word
Techniques demonstrated
- Arudha Pada computation — step-by-step using Parasara's formula
- Exception handling — when result falls on house or its 7th
- Graha arudha vs. Bhava arudha distinction
- Four-level analysis of any house using the bhava-pada-graha-graha-arudha model
