The Nādi Jyotiṣa, while seemingly straightforward, is actually one of the most intricate systems. Engaging in Nadi astrology is quite challenging; it requires a robust spiritual foundation and a comprehensive understanding of Karakatvas, as predictions may be inaccurate without these elements. In contemporary society, there is a notable trend among students favoring quick and simplified techniques over the traditional methods established by the Rṣis, Sri Varāhamihira, and other esteemed Acharyas. Numerous Nadi texts exist, including Bhrigu Nadi, Sukar Nadi, Dhruva Nadi, Satya Nadi, Agastya Nadi, and Bhargava Nadi, yet many remain neglected in government libraries. A select few, such as Chandrakala Nadi, Saptarshi Nadi, and Dhruva Nadi, have been published, with their methodologies proving to be remarkably accurate and dependable. Recently, Bhrigu Nandi Nadi has gained significant attention due to its impressive predictive techniques. However, upon reviewing several pages of this text, the scribe found it perplexing and thus left it unfinished. Notably, Sri C. S. Patel and Sri K Guru Rajesh have made commendable contributions to the field of Nadi Jyotiṣa. In this article, the scribe has included a selection of rare verses from Nadi scriptures, such as those from Chandrakala Nadi, Saptarishi Nadi, Bhargava Nadika, and Bhrigu Nadi.
1. Chandrakala Nadi
A} Problems To The Father —
रविदृक्काणगे मन्दे त्वंशे वा द्वादशांशे ।
गोचरे क्रूरमासेषु पितृपीडां विनिर्दिशेत् ॥
ravidṛkkāṇage mande tvaṃśe vā dvādaśāṃśe |
gocare krūramāseṣu pitṛpīḍāṃ vinirdiśet ||
[Problems to the father are indicated if Shani in transit is in the Rashi identical to the Drekkana, Navamsa or Dwadasamsa occupied by Surya during an unfavourable Gochara or a Kroora month.]
Notes: Notice that this Shloka is very different from the other verses where "...अंशे तत् त्रिकोणे स्फुटयोगे गतौ शनौ" is used. Thus, this principle is applied on the Drekkana, Navamsa and Dwadasamsa positions and not it's trines. Similarly, one must determine results for mother from Chandra, children from Brihaspati, etc.
B} Definition Of Kroora Month —
रन्ध्रेशाक्रान्तभवनदृष्टराश्यंशकत्रिकोणगा: ।
क्रूरमासा इति ख्याताः क्रूराब्दे योजयेत् क्रमात ॥
randhreśākrāntabhavanadṛṣṭarāśyaṃśakatrikoṇagā: |
krūramāsā iti khyātāḥ krūrābde yojayet kramāt ||
[The month when Surya transits in trines to the Rashi occupied by the 8th Lord, Rashis aspected by him or the Navamsa occupied by him is termed as Kroora Masa. Similar transit of Brihaspati is called as Kroorabda.]

Smt. Indira Gandhi's mother, Kamala Nehru, passed away on 28 February 1936 when both Surya and Shani were in Kumbha over the Chandra's Navamsa position. Surya was in Mithuna and Shani was in Simha when her son Sanjay Gandhi passed away. 5th Lord Kuja is Vargottama in Simha.
2. Saptarishi Nadi
A} Identifying Birth Place —
The Lagna and Chandra Lagna indicate the conditions at the time of birth. The influence on the Lagna reveals the surroundings of the place of birth. Both Surya (Pratyaksh Narayan) and Budha represent Shri Vishnu. Here, Lagna is in Mesha while it's Lord Kuja is with Budha in the 9th house (temples) in Sagittarius (Sattvaguna Rashi). Kuja is the dispositor of Surya (temples) and connects with Chandresh Budha. Both, Kuja and Budha aspect Chandra Lagna in Mithuna with 7th aspect. Thus, the Lagna and Chandra Lagna is influenced by symbols of Shri Vishnu. According to the Nadi, native is born near a Vishnu temple.
B} A Native Born On Mithuna Lagna —

The 4th Lord Budha is with Shukra in a Kendra while the 8th and 9th Lord Shani is placed in the 4th Bhava. He will construct a beautiful house. The Lagna is aspected by three Saumya Grahas viz. Guru, Shukra and Budha. He will have good character, which will be praised by others. He is a compassionate person. He avoids speaking words that hurt others. As Budha and Shukra (Rajas Guna) are placed in the 7th Bhava, the native will be dear to his wife. The ascendant is a dual sign aspected by Budha, a Graha representing duality. The native will have dual character. He will have bilious nature of body as Chandra is influenced by Surya and Kuja.
Notes: The Nādi only mentions the predictions. The scribe has added astrological explanations according to his limited understanding.
3. Bhargava Nadika
A} Effects Of Budha's Daśā —
क्रूरषष्ठांशसौम्यस्य दशाकाले महद्भयम् ।
चोराग्निभूपैर्भीतिः स्याच्छुभदृग्योगवर्जिते ॥
krūraṣaṣṭhāṃśasaumyasya daśākāle mahadbhayam |
corāgnibhūpairbhītiḥ syācchubhadṛgyogavarjite ||
[During the Dasha of Budha placed in a cruel 60th division, there is great fear. There will be fear from thieves, fire, and kings if it is not associated with benefic aspects.]
मृद्वंशादियुते सौम्ये राज्यलाभो महत्सुखम् ।
मार्दवः सर्वभूतेषु कृषिपुत्रार्थसंपदः ॥
mṛdvaṃśādiyute saumye rājyalābho mahatsukham |
mārdavaḥ sarvabhūteṣu kṛṣiputrārthasaṃpadaḥ ||
[The Dasha of Budha placed in gentle divisions, there is attainment of kingdom and great happiness. There is gentleness toward all beings, and wealth from agriculture, children, and property.]
सौम्ये वैशेषिकांशस्थे विशेषाद्राजपूज्यता ।
सुगन्धाम्बरमाल्यं च विद्यागोष्ठीरहस्यता ॥
saumye vaiśeṣikāṃśasthe viśeṣādrājapūjyatā |
sugandhāmbaramālyaṃ ca vidyāgoṣṭhīrahasyatā ||
[When Budha is positioned in Vaisheshikamsa, there is special honor from kings. One gets fragrant clothes and garlands, and participates in scholarly discussions and secrets.]
क्रूरद्रेक्काणसंयुक्तश्चन्द्रसूनुर्यदा तदा ।
चोराग्निभूपतिभयं स्थाननाशो महद्भयम् ॥
krūradrekkāṇasaṃyuktaścandrasūnuryadā tadā |
corāgnibhūpatibhayaṃ sthānanāśo mahadbhayam ||
[When Budha is placed in a cruel decanate, then there is fear from thieves, fire, and kings, loss of position, and great danger.]
Notes: The text outlines fundamental principles for evaluating the Daśā. When the Daśā Lord occupies a malefic Shashtiamsa, the individual tends to exhibit a harsh temperament. The fluctuations in behavior corresponding to the Daśā can be anticipated through the D60 Ansa Lord. Conversely, if the Daśā Lord resides in a benevolent Shashtiamsa, the individual experiences a serene and tranquil atmosphere during that Daśā.
4. Bhrigu Nadi
A} Appearance & Arudha Lagna —
लग्नारूढपदे शुक्रे वीक्षिते वा प्रजायते ।
रूपवान् सुभगः कान्तः प्रसन्नमुखनेत्रवान् ॥
अदृष्टशाली मेधावी राजयोगयुतो भवेत् ।
lagnārūḍhapade śukre vīkṣite vā prajāyate |
rūpavān subhagaḥ kāntaḥ prasannamukhanetravān ||
adṛṣṭaśālī medhāvī rājayogayuto bhavet |
[Should Shukra occupy or aspect the Lagna Arudha Pada, the native born will be beautiful, lucky, of agreeable nature, having bewitching face and eyes, fortunate, wise and shall be having a Raja yoga.]
