Ring-axiomatic distribution: each graha's bindus across 8 sources (7 grahas + Lagna) onto 12 rāśis is a direct evaluation in R = ℤ/12ℤ — the canonical totals sum to 337 sarva (P230).

Bhinnāṣṭakavarga · per-graha bindu grids (7 grahas × 12 houses)
Every correctly-computed chart produces these exact bindu totals — independent of birth-data. Deviation indicates a computational error in the bindu rules. Treat as a self-verification invariant.

Authority, father, vitality. Bhinnāṣṭakavarga of Sūrya is consulted before public-facing ventures and for paternal-line karma.
Mind, mother, emotional substrate. Highest canonical sum among shubhas (49) — Pāraśara assigns special weight to Candra's grid.
Energy, courage, siblings, surgery. Lowest sum (39) — Maṅgala's effects are concentrated; small variations matter.
Intellect, speech, commerce. Highest among the tāras (54) — versatile distribution; high bindus → strong learning and trade.
Wisdom, dharma, children, husband-significator. The widest grid (56) — Guru's grace is structurally most-supported.
Beauty, art, marriage, vehicles. Mid-range sum (52) — Śukra grid is consulted before marriage and major asset acquisition.
Discipline, longevity, service, karma-resolution. Equal to Maṅgala (39) — Śani's effects, like Maṅgala's, are concentrated and consequential.
Read the bindu count in the rāśi the graha occupies in its own grid. 4+ bindus → graha self-supported (auto-empowered); < 3 → afflicted, ritual remedy worth considering.
Sun naturally signifies the 10th (career); read his bindu count at the 10th-from-lagna. Moon → 4th (home/mother); Mars → 3rd & 6th; Mercury → 4th & 10th; Jupiter → 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th; Venus → 7th; Saturn → 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th. High count = karaka's natural domain well-supported.
When a graha transits a sign in its own Bhinna grid: 5+ bindus → transit effects fruit; 2 or fewer → transit underperforms. Especially loaded for Śani's slow transits (sade-sati / dhaiya) — read both sarva and bhinna sums together.
When a graha's mahā-daśā runs, locate the graha's sign in its own Bhinna grid. High count = daśā delivers; low count = daśā arrives muted. Combined with vimśopaka-bala forms a robust daśā-promise prediction (Pāraśarī method).
The /chart caster computes all 7 Bhinna grids and the Sarva grid from your birth-instant. Cross-reference with vimśopaka and current-daśā for the full Pāraśarī picture.
KAAL Truth #5: The bhinnāṣṭakavarga enumerates bindu contributions only. The qualitative reading and any time-bound decision belongs to the learned Jyotiṣī integrating these grids with the full chart.
