Jaimini Path — The Parallel Tradition

श्री-जैमिनये नमः · सूत्र-कारक-प्रदायिने।Salutations to the revered Jaimini — bestower of the sūtra-kāraka system.

Jaimini's Upadeśa-sūtras are the second great pillar of classical jyotiṣa, alongside BPHS. The sūtras are extremely terse — nearly opaque without a teacher — but the techniques are powerful and complementary to Pārāśara's. This path traces six core Jaimini topics, each anchored to specific adhyāya-pāda sections.

    Jaimini's Karaka Theory — 7 vs 8 Schools

    Jaimini's Adhy. 1 · Pāda 1 — the chara-kāraka system, where the graha with the highest degree in any rāśi becomes the Ātma-kāraka, the next the Amātya-kāraka, and so on.

  2. आरूढ-पद-व्यवस्था
    Ārūḍha-pada-vyavasthā
    Ārūḍha — The Image-of-the-House System

    Each bhāva has an ārūḍha-pada — a 'projected image' rāśi that represents how the bhāva manifests outwardly. The ārūḍha-lagna (AL) is the projected-self.

    Cara-Rāśi-Daśā — Jaimini's Movable-Sign Daśā

    Adhy. 3 · Pāda 1 — Cara-rāśi-daśā is a sign-based daśā (not nakṣatra-based). Each rāśi rules for years determined by counting to the lord's position.

    Sthira-daśā
    Sthira-Daśā — Fixed-Sign Periods

    Adhy. 3 · Pāda 2 — Sthira-daśā uses fixed periods (7/8/9 years per sign) rather than computed periods. A coarser timing-frame than cara-daśā.

    Nārāyaṇa-daśā
    Nārāyaṇa-Daśā — Cara-Daśā for the Ārūḍha

    An extension of cara-rāśi-daśā computed from the ārūḍha-lagna rather than the lagna. Used for analyzing how the projected-self evolves over time.

    Rāśi-Dṛṣṭi — Jaimini's Sign-Aspect System

    Jaimini's distinctive aspect-rule: rāśis (not grahas) aspect rāśis, with specific rules based on movability. A key interpretive supplement to graha-dṛṣṭi.
