The third portion of a Rashi is known as Drishkan. Every Drishkan
of a Rashi consists of 10 Anshas. The fast Drishkan in the Aries ascendant is of the lord of the ascendant,
namely Mass. The second Drishkan from
11 to 20 Anshas is of the lord of the
fifth ascendant namely Sun; the third Drishkan
from 21 to 30 Anshas is of the lord
of the 9th house, namely Jupiter. Likewise, there are Drishkan assigned to every ascendant. Drishkan is also called trigon. In case the inference exceeds by
one Ghari through 10 Anshas the second part of the trigon
will begin there which goes up to 20
Anshas
while the third part consists of Ansha
21 to Ansha 30. To observe the trigger
of a particular Rashi the star of a Rashi existing in the birth horoscope in
the first part of the trigon will be the lord of that Rashi. Next, its second part which is the fifth Rashi from that Rashi will be the lord of its Rashi,
and the third part which is the ninth Rashi
from that Rashi will be deemed to be
its lord. Suppose we have to observe the trigon of the Tries Rashi. The lord Aries Rashi is Mars. The fifth Rashi from Aries is Leo whose lord is
the sum. The lord of the seemed part will he sum. Further, the ninth Rashi from Leo is gagged tarries whose
lord is Guitar the lord of the third part of trigon will be Jupiter, and so on.
The trigon of each raas is divided on
this pattern. Its calculation will be entered in the ‘khatbarg’ in the manner that if Mars of Aries raas is in the birth ascendant the inference of Mars shows 19 Anshas. Had Mars been up to ansh or in the inference less than 10 Anshas it would have been receded in its
trigon? Now, when it is more than 10 upto 20 ansh it will go with the second trigon. In the second trigon, there
is Leo, the fifth raas from Aies and
Sun is the lord of Leo raas. Thus,
Mars should be recorded under the trigon of the Sun.
