Method 1:

Desired Planet : Jupiter

Number of the sign in which the desired planet is standing = 2Jupiter is standing in Taurus in Rasi Chakra.

Planetary Number = 5

Number of years of Major Period for Jupiter = 16

2 sign in which planets is standing x 5 planetary number = 10;since 10 is not divisible by 27, it is multiplied by 16 Jupiter's MajorPeriod Years.

16 x 10 = 160 divided by 27 = 5-25/27 OR 25th Cheshta isindicated.25 x 16 = 400 divided by 6 = 66-4/6 OR 4th sub-cheshta.

Method II

Jupiter has traversed 32 degrees from Aries.

The status of Ascendant is taken-up by Moon as stated in that book. Moon has traversed 146 degrees from Aries.

In this method, the degree occupied by the Ascendant has to bededucted from the degree occupied by the planet.

Therefore, 360+32 = 392 - 146 = 246 divided by 27 = 9 - 3/27 or3rd cheshta

3 x 16 = 48 divided by 6 = nil balance which means 6 or 6th sub-cheshta.

Under Method I, we get 25th cheshta Sambhoga and under Method IIthe cheshta obtained was " Applying CasteMark on Forehead" andthe sub-cheshta "discarding the mirror". Discarding the mirror is anact done only after one is fully satisfied with one's dressing. Broadly speaking, the cheshtas under both the methods indicate that the native will achieve all his ambitions and cherished desires during Jupiter's Major Period.

***45 years down the line, we can look back at it and realise the truth ----Publisher

It may look, for many of whom, who do not have implicit faith in Astrology that the method enunciated above is but crude or antiquated way of deciding upon the goodness of a major period, for the exactquantum/nature of major period have not been defined in precise terms.Further, a student has been asked to use his intelligence on the Main andsub-Cheshta occurring and find out the effects of the Major Period.

Yet, in the last sloka to this chapter, the famous author of thismethodology, Shri Prabhakara Daivagna asserts that this methodhas the full sanction of astrological giants like Narada. There's no doubtthat this forms part of the Secrets of Hindu Astrology.

The following tabulation gives the 27 main cheshtas, with correspondingmajor period effects, as also the names of the sub-cheshtas :-
