1-2. The sage said. O Brahmin! Write down a Rasi Kundali with 12 Bhavas, including Lagn. Then insert the total of the Rekhas in all the AshtakaVargas of the Grahas in the Rasi concerned. The AshtakaVarg with such Rekhas is called the Samuday AshtakaVarg, or the aggregational AshtakaVarg. From this should be judged good and adverse effects of the Rasi Kundali.

3-5. In the aggregational AshtakaVarg the Rasi, which has more than 30 Rekhas, gives favourable effects, that, having between 25 and 30 Rekhas, produces medium effects and that Rasi, who has less than 25 Rekhas, yields adverse effects. Auspicious functions, like marriage etc., should be performed, when the Grah, on whose basis the time and date of functions are performed, moves into the Rasi with favourable effects. The Rasi, which is productive of adverse effects should be avoided for these purposes. For example, the strength of Candr (CandraBal) is generally acceptable for all auspicious functions. Therefore auspicious functions should be performed, or started, when Candr is in the Rasi with maximum number of Rekhas. The Grah in the Rasi with favourable number of Rekhas produces auspicious effects and the Grah in the Rasi with unfavourable number of Rekhas yields evil results.
