Surya is of dark red colour. Candr is white. Deep red is the complexion of Mangal, while Budh is of green grass colour. Guru is golden yellowish. Sukr is whitish. Sanis colour is blue mixed with black.

Mandi, the son of Sani, has many colours. Rahus colour is dark collyrium (blue mix). Although the Rasis have pleasing colours, these are changed according to the occupants.

Should a Grah be alone in its own Rasi, or Navamsh, the effects revealed are according to its nature. This is true, when it does not receive a Drishti from, or is not yuti with others. If it be in others Bhava, or receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with others, the results are influenced accordingly.

Suryas body is square; his eyes are pink in colour and he has sparse hair on his body and head. He does not live for a long time in one place. He is of lazy disposition. His knees are weak. He has pleasing face and delivers pleasing speech.

Notes: He has stout legs (Saravali). Dasadhyayi suggests, that these can be profitably used in regard to diseases in Prashn: Surya causes damage to eyes, loss of hair and thirst, fever etc. by bilious temperament. See Phala Deepika, Ch. II, Sloka 8, for more information.
