BTR As in Lomash SanhitaaThe Lomash Sanhitaa translated by Vineet Ji gives two Birth Time Rectification

methods

made in %ulika rising time as well)

Correcting the lagna using %ulikaThe method given here is for checking the

accuracy of the given birth time rather than for really correcting the birth

time)

2728+>f the Lagna is strong then then correcting of Lagna should be done for Lagna using %ulikaa) >f

the ;oon Sign is strong then the correcting of ;oon sign should be done using %ulikaa) The

method is the same in both cases) >f both Lagna and ;oon sign! are devoid of strength then too

the correction of birth time should be done! using %ulika)

+The %ulikaa should be in #"""D houses from Lagna) /or humans and animal %ulikaa can also be

in &"#4 houses from Lagna) /or birds %ulikaa can be in 5""## houses from Lagna) /or insects*

ser(ents and a0uatic animals the %ulika shall be in the remaining houses i)e)3"#& houses!

The condition given to ensure whether the lagna is accurate or not is that " >f

Lagna is accurate then %ulikaa will come in houses #st"&nd"th" th"Dth"#4th toit only) ,r in other words if the %ulikaa is in 5rd"3th"1th" 2th"##th" #&th from

Lagna then it indicates that the given Lagna is inaccurate) But this condition

a((lies only if the Lagna is strong) ,therwise make the necessary ad?ustment in

time and move Lagna to the ne=t or (revious sign whichever is near! so that theabove condition would be satisfied) Even though not told here it should be known

that a Lagna becomes strong

#) when Lagna Lord is strong*

&) when Lagna Lord is (laced in $(achaya #"5"1"#4"##! to Lagna*

5) when ;ercury or Ju(iter as(ect or con?unct with Lagna)

The same condition a((lies to ;oon Lagna also when checking whether it is

strong or not) So the (oint to note is that* if as (er the above condition if Lagna

is not strong but instead ;oon sign is strong then correction of ;oon sign andnot the Lagna! should be done based on the (osition of %ulikaa and all the

(redictions should be done based on ;oon Lagna in this case and not Lagna!)

Thus if ;oon sign is strong then* if %ulikaa is not in 5"3"1"2"##"#& houses from

;oon sign* it can be assumed that ;oon sign is accurate) >f ;oon sign is strong

and this condition regarding %ulikaa is not satisfied then make the necessary

ad?ustment in time and move ;oon sign to the ne=t or (revious sign whichever

is nearer! so that the above condition would be satisfied) The (ro(osed (osition

of %ulikaa relative to Lagna for humans and animals in the above 0uote is

tabulated below)

Practically speaking, the difference of even a single Vighatee (24 sec) in birthtime can cause a difference of 1 sign in Praanapad. nd the ma!imumdifference that needs to be made to bring Praanapad to the trine of "agna is atma! # Vighatee (1 min 12 sec) difference in given birth time. $his is too small acorrection and practically useless. %oth these methods (one using &ulikaa andthe other using Praanapad) are very vague and crude methods 'hich should at

the most be used only to check the accuracy of the given birth time, and neverto correct it. umerous other good and authentic birth time rectification

methods supported by sages are discussed in the book *ecrets of %irth $ime+ectification (by *reenadh -& *agar Publications).

Even if one gets some (erfect Siddhaant without a millisecond of error* one has

to carry out birth time rectification of few minutes in most cases) ;y code

resulted in smaller error in birth time which > soon corrected) /or instance*

correction in 6eshaantar Longitude! due to the change of $??ainKs longitude

from the center of old town to e=act location of the ;ahaakaal ;andir resulted

in subtraction of 4)15 seconds in my own birth time) True"6ay correction alsoresults in a small correction in >sht :aal amounting to a few seconds of error in

birth time only* small in com(arison to few minutes of errors in most natives)
