them are also spoiled early in life by the constant evil company of
unprincipled boys even before they attain the proper age of majority.
For a woman, have to take into consideration three important Lagnas;
viz., Janma Lagna or the ascendant at birth, the Lagna for the first
appearance of the menses in her and Lagna or the sign in which she
had the first sexual contact with the man, be he her husband or lover
or raper. All the astrological writers in Sanskrit have attached the

scholars.
Have they any references to such events in their astrological
publications? Have they suggested any remedies for averting,
softening or modifying the planetary influences indicating the evil
results from the past births? Can their hillocks be compared to the
grand Himalayan ranges? Can any other river in the world claim
rivalry with the purities of the Ganges floods? So many details and

have been given. That I would earnestly request the readers to pay
