planets constituting a yoga. The two sets of vargas that are commonly used are – a) the
Shadvarga i.e. the six-fold division of sign namely, the Rasi or sign, the Hora, the Drekkena or
decanate, the Navamsa, the Dwadasamsa and the Trimsamsa, and b) the Saptavarga i.e. the
seven-fold division, by tagging the Saptamsa to the Shadvargas.[4] Some follow the Dasavargas
or the ten-fold division, and in his Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra, Parasara speaks about the
Shodasvarga or the sixteen-fold division of a rasi. Planets become more and more auspicious by
gaining more and more of their own, exalted or friendly vargas. Accordingly, the status thus
acquired by planets stands graded for easy identification etc. When a planet acquires two out of
sixteen such own or exalted vargas or divisions then it is known to have gained the status called
the Parijatamsa or Bhedakamsa, when three vargas are gained then the Uttamamsa or
Kusumamsa or Vyanjanamsa, four – the Gopuramsa or Naagpushpamsa or Kimshukamsa or
Chaamaramsa, five – the Simhasanamsa or Kundakamsa or Chhatramsa, six – the Parvatamsa
or Keralamsa or Kundalamsa, seven – 323354
