Transliteration

lagnādekāṃtaragataiścakramarthātsaritpatiḥ | ṣahyusthāneṣu vīṇādyāḥ samasaptarkṣagaiḥ || 191 ||

Translation

Vom Aszendenten (Lagna) aus, indem man sie in wechselnden Abständen setzt, entsteht das „Rad“ (chakra), so heißt es. Dort wird der „Herr der Flüsse“ (Sarit-pati) eingesetzt; und in den Stationen, die „ṣa-hyu“ genannt werden, sind die Vīṇā und die übrigen Zeichen zu platzieren, zusammen mit den gleichmäßig angeordneten Sieben Ṛṣi (Saptarṣis).

FAQs

It frames a technical ‘chakra’ (wheel/diagram) method as part of sacred knowledge: order, symmetry, and correct placement (from the lagna) are presented as essential for using Vedic science in a dharmic way, supporting right understanding and disciplined practice.

This verse is primarily Jyotiṣa/diagrammatic instruction rather than direct bhakti teaching; however, in Purāṇic framing, correct sacred procedure and reverent use of Vedic sciences are treated as supportive disciplines that can align one’s life toward dharma and devotion.

Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa: it references the lagna (ascendant) and a rule of alternate placements to construct a chakra, including specific stations and the placement of the Saptarṣis—indicating a structured astrological/diagrammatic method.
