1-2. O excellent of the Brahmins, I now narrate below the Raj Yogas, making one entitled to royal honour. These were told to Parvati by Lord Shiva once upon a time, the gist of which is, as follows.

3-5. Raj Yogas are to be known from the Karakans Lagn and the natal Lagn. On the one hand the pair of Atma Karak and Putr Karak should be considered and on the other hand the natal Lagn’s Lord and Putr’s Lord should be taken into consideration. The effects, due to such association, will be full, or a half, or a quarter, according to their strengths.

6-7. Maha Raj Yog. Should Lagn’s Lord and Putr’s Lord exchange their Rasis, or, if Atma Karak and Putr Karak (Char) are in Lagn, or in Putr Bhava, or in the exaltation Rasi, or in own Rasi, or in own Navans, receiving a Drishti from a benefic, Maha Raj Yog is produced. The native so born will be famous and happy.
