Saṅkṣipta-sāraḥ · Topic Summary
Opening sūtras introduce the saptadaśa-kāraka (seventeen-fold karaka) — Ātma, Amātya, Bhrātṛ, Mātṛ, Putra, Jñāti, Dāra, plus the bhāva-significators 5, 7, 8 etc. The Ātma-Kāraka is defined as the graha with the highest degree in any sign (in some traditions, in any rāśi excluding Rāhu). The pāda also introduces special-lagnas (ārūḍha, upapada) and Cāra-rāśi-daśā computation.
