Strong benefics make a person fortunate, bright and beautiful. Malefics, when stronger than benefics, make a person sinful and a simpleton.

Notes: It is to be noted, that benefic Grahas should be stronger than malefics for Yog purposes. In any case, the strength of malefics is equally important, as each has its own Karakatwas; for example Sani though a natural malefic should be strong for longevity. If he is weak, the subject cannot enjoy longevity and all Raj Yogas then will be equal to a painting sans canvas.

Thus ends the 3^rd Ch. entitled Evaluation of Strengths of Grahas in Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
