If the relationship is friendly then that will have positive influence on the significations ruled by the 4arakas under consideration. we have to look at two things; a.

9f a planet that obstructs a house #virodhargala$ is also the (araka for that house the planet will forcefully protect its results, whether the native likes it or not. "his will ultimately benefit the house. A planet giving argala must have a favorable B friendly karaka fitting to the house they represent and are in so that they can boost it and thereafter benefit the original house they give argala to. Fetween a planet giving Argala and a planet obstructing the same, the stronger of the two signs containing the planets must be analysed to deduce the more dominating force. 2or ultimate fructification the argala must be stronger than the obstruction. 9f they are of e=ual strength, the results is neither success nor failure and sei/ure results #the house results are confiscated$ . 9f both planets are malefic this shows imprisonment #blockage of the house$, while > benefits cause house arrest #results are fro/en for a while$. o A sign with more planets will be more dominant. o If eGual numbers of planets are in the signs, then a sign receiving Hrasi dristiA by more planets is stronger. o If they are still eGual in strength, the strength of the sign lords must be deduced. The one occupying higher degrees is stronger. F7IS' If the Argala causing planet is stronger than the obstructing one, the former will prevail. Jr if the number of Argalas are more than the obstructing planets, then also the Argala will prevail. 9f both the 1rgala #intervention$ and Virodha #'bstruction$ are e=ually strong, Fandana Yoga "Fondage# can result. 9f both are malefic and e=ual, the Fandana Yoga can be very evil or adverse like confinement after an accident "where the $nd . $K houses are involved showing the accident in the $nd house which is a %araka ? and the hospital in the $ th house#. This can also indicate adverse situation concerning education and career if the +th and ? th are involved. If the planets are poles apart in nature, then the education may have nothing to do with the career like a Gualified doctor working as a bureaucrat. 2ifth and ninth houses involved show very adverse situations that can also cause terrible misfortunes, <ail terms etc. 9f beneficial planets are involved, then the bondage could relate to staying indoors for writing a book, meditation or other means of beneficial confinement. A careful study of the nature of the planet, signs involved etc, has to be made. Results of 1rgala and Virodhargala will arise during the periods and sub*periods of the signs or planets giving Argala to the relevant house or sign or planet. If the planet giving Argala is inimical, or malefic toward the 4araka of the house the Guality of the house will fall. 9f the 1rgala of the dasa planet is obstructed by Virodha 1rgala, then during the antar dasa of such planets the good result of the concerned house shall be obstructed or reversed.

Similarly the planets which give Argala to 4etu will determine which forces help a native attain liberation F7IS' * 7. A R G A L A E F F E C T S : Should there be Argala on the Arudha 7ada, on the ascendant, and on the 7th from both, the native will be famous and fortunate. A malefic or a benefic causing unobstructed Argala on the ascendant will make one famous. on the $nd house it denotes acGuisition of wealth and grains, (rd house*happiness from co*born' the +th house*residences, Guadrupeds and relatives' the ,th house**sons, grand sons and intelligence, the /th house*fear from enemies' the 7th house*abundant wealth and marital happiness, the 1th house*difficulties, the 3th house*fortunes' the ?th house*royal honour' the th house*gains, and the $th house* e=penses. The Argala by benefics will give various kinds of happiness, with malefic Argalas benefic effects will be obstucted, interfered.

Similarly 1rgalas on the 00t house will indicate the ways the parents help the child . 1rgalas on the 3adhaka house from the 2agna will indicate the ways the parents and relatives obstruct the native from certain things etc. ,lanets having papargala on the houses of education or knowledge can obstruct it. Thus planets having papargala on the + t h house or the 3 t h house can obstruct formal school or higher education, during its period. In this way, Argala should be reckoned with reference to the +th house in Shodasamsa, as well as Cagna, to see the influence of these conveyances and the natives relation to them, through life. The Argala of grahas on the 4araka * -upiter, will show which type of conveyances the person owns. The strength of the argala giving grahas, will show the Guality of the lu=uries. The simultaneous labha*argala on the +th house, shows that these gave him significant gainsBwealth in his life. As there are no planets in the /th house, he dominated the market with great ease, without problems from competitors. 4etu and &ahu also give
