Introduction:
age Bhrigu is considered as the father of Hindu Astrology. Different stories abound as
regards Maharshi Bhrigu. Brahma was entrusted with the task of creation of the
world and to assist him, he wished to have a person and thus was born Bhrigu and so
called as Manasa-Putra (born out of the mind) of Brahma. It is stated that Bhrigu was one of
the seven great sages popularly referred to as Saptarshis. The names of Saptarshis given in
ancient Hindu texts vastly differ. But the name of Bhrigu finds a place in Krishna Yajur
Veda Sandhya Vandana Mantra as also in Mantra Shastra. We also find a reference to Sage
Bhrigu in the Vayu Purana where he is shown present during the great Yagna of Daksha
Prajapati. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna refers to Sage Bhrigu by saying “among the rishis, I
am Bhrigu.” It is mentioned in Rig Veda that Bhrigu was the first person to acquire Agni
while assisting Brahma in the creation of the world. The meaning of the word “Bhrigu”
itself is “radiant”.

It is believed that Bhrigu was the first compiler of predictive astrology and also the
author of Bhrigu Samhita, the astrological classic written during the Vedic Period, Treta
Yuga most probably around 3000 BC.
He had two wives Khyati and Pulauma. His son Shukra (Venus) was the Guru of
demons. Shukra was very dear to the sage and we find that the compilations appear as
conversation between Sage Bhrigu and Shukra.
It is interesting to read stories involving the sage. Readers can find many stories
through Internet sites. But we must know how the monumental work of Bhrigu Samhita
came into existence.
On the bank of the now nonexistent river Saraswati, many great rishis gathered to
conduct a Maha Yagna. Immediately after four years of creation of the world and its human
beings, the supreme powers realized that the human species were faced with many problems
and were in deep pain and suffering. To alleviate the sufferings it was decided to conduct the
Yagna. At that time Narad Muni who was present there raised a question as who would be
the Master or Head for the conduct of the Yagna. All the rishis were of the opinion that the
Trimurthis viz. Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are the only right persons for the task. But Narad
said not all three can be the head; only one out of the three can take the lead. So the task was
entrusted to Bhrigu to select the one out of three to be the head for the yagna.
In the manuscript that is available with us there are two pictures which are reproduced
below in this document. The first one shows the congregation of rishis along with Bhrigu
ready to depart for testing the 3 Lords and selecting the right person among the three. The
second picture is that of Bhrigu hitting Lord Vishnu on his chest. Now let us go on with the
story.
Bhrighu first went to Brahmalok disguising himself as a Brahman. At that time Brahma
was busy writing Vedas and did not pay any attention to the visitor who stood in front of
him. Bhrigu got infuriated and thought that when he cannot see a person just standing in
front of him, how he is going to realize the problems of the mankind. So he cursed Brahma
saying that he is unfit to be the creator of the world and that he will not be worshipped in
this world. Immediately Brahma realized his folly and asked forgiveness from the rishi
saying that he is the creator and if he be not allowed to do the creation work, the world will
come to a zero. Bhrigu realized that he has infact been a little harsh on Brahma and modified
his curse saying that he will be worshipped only in one place on the earth and it will be at
Pushkar.
Next Bhrigu went to Kailash to see Lord Shiva and find out if he is capable of
undertaking the task of performing the Yagna for the well being of the humanity. When he
reached Shiv Loka, he was stopped by Nandi Deva guarding the gates of Kailash saying that
Lord and Goddess are sporting fun at that time and no one can see him now. In spite of
Bhrigu telling Nandi deva that his work is urgent, he was adamant and did not permit
Bhrigu to enter inside and also did not accept Bhrigu‟s request to carry the message to Lord
Shiva. At this Bhrigu got annoyed and cursed Shiva that no one will ever worship you in
this world. After this Lord Shiva realized what happened but it was late as the curse had
already been given. Lord Shiva requested Bhrigu to forgive him and said that it was all due
to ignorance. Then Bhrigu realizing that his curse has indeed been a harsh one, modified it
saying that as it cannot be taken back, you will be worshipped in the form of Linga and not
in his original form.
Now two of the Tridevs were unfit to lead the Yagna and so with the hope that Lord
Vishnu will live up to his expectations, he set upon his journey to Vaikunt, the abode of Lord
Vishnu. To test Him he entered Vaikunt without the Lord‟s permission and saw that Lord
was resting at that time with Lakshmi seated beside him. There was no reaction from the
Lord which infuriated the rishi and he kicked Lord Vishnu on the chest (Look at the second
picture). That strike by the Maharshi on Lord‟s chest left a foot print there and is known till
date as “Shri Vats”. Lord Vishnu got up after the hit and realized what happened. On
realizing that the Maharshi had hit him with his foot, he asked him, “Maharshi, are you hurt
in your feet? My chest is strong but your foot is not so strong.” Hearing these words the Rishi was
moved and at once he was pleased and decided that Lord Vishnu is the right person to be
that Master for the Yagna. But the reaction of Goddess Lakshmi was quite different. She could
not bear the disrespect shown to her husband that too in front of her. So she cursed the
maharshi that henceforth she will never visit Brahmins and they will all live without wealth.
On hearing this curse, Maharshi told his reason of his visit to Vaikunt and Lakshmi realized
that since the Rishi had come with a good intention, she said that the curse given will
become null and void and the Brahmins will be liberated if they worship Lord Vishnu.
It is after this incident that Maharshi Bhrigu set upon writing the famous book of
astrology “Bhrigu Samhita” with the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Mata Saraswati. Maharshi
collected nearly 5 million horoscopes and wrote predictions for their full life.
During foreign invasions of India by Muslim warriors from the north west in the 12th
and 13th centuries, the invaders captured these prime assets of the Brahmins (as they were in
their custody). The destruction of Nalanda University library destroyed thousands of
horoscopes compiled by the Maharshi. Only a small percentage of the monumental work
remained and is now scattered with the Brahmin community in various parts of India. It is
believed that 45 million charts can be drawn if we have all the compilations of the Maharshi.
Now coming to this part of the translation, we have in our possession the following
Which we present by way of translation to the Astrological community and we hope it will
be received well by the readers. We also wish to place our sincere thanks to the provider of
the manuscript Mr. Sreeram Srinivas who passed a scanned version to the publisher of
Saptarishis Astrology way back in 2006 promising that he would initiate the translation
project via his contacts but due to professional commitments he was unable to do. This
manuscript seems to be a scanned version of a printed copy done in Meerut city and
translated in hindi from Sanskrit. The name of the Meerut Pandit is not clear in the
available text. We salute him for bringing this out.
SA Team has relied mainly on the Sanskrit portion and at times the original
translation into hindi was found to be not so accurate in our humble opinion but translations
are one area where scholars easily differ is to be borne in mind. We collected around 7
translators from the SA Team way back in early 2011 & started group translation. We wish
to thank the translators as well as our Sanskrit Editor Mr. Chandrashekhar Sharma, Project
Head Mr. Yenbeeyes who were kind enough to devote their valuable time and energy in
bringing out this document in the present form. Finally we wish to thank the patience of
each team member involved who were humble enough to go through various drafts, accept
that the process of translation into a foreign language is not an easy task. Readers are
provided with Sanskrit shlokas so that they can double check the translations before
prescribing remedies.

Method To See Results Using Children Upaaya Volume
t is appropriate for the person who desires to show the birth chart to come with a pure
heart and mind (शदु्ध चित्त) and offers flowers, sweets and fees/reward to the astrologer
(who is being shown the birth chart). The (three step) method to examine the birth
chart, which is brought by a person to know about his child, using this text, is thus:
1. From the birth time, find the Ghatis1 leaving out the palas.
2. The house for children is the 5th, so add 5 to the Ghatis obtained in Step 1 and save the
result.
3. Now use the Chakra drawn on next page. (NOTE: The Chakra is like a table and has
several numbers in it, each number in a separate rectangle). Ask the person who has
come to show the birth chart and is desirous to learn about his child, to place his finger
on the Chakra. Add the number that he places his finger on, to the result obtained in 1 A Ghati is a measure of time equal to 24 minutes. Another measure of time, Pala is equal to 24 seconds. The
birth time, also referred to as Ishta Ghati (इष्ट घडी) is specified in Ghatis and Palas that have elapsed since
sunrise. For example, say the sunrise on a particular day is at 6:30:00 AM. The Ishta Ghati of a person born
at 7:44:00 AM on this day is 3 Ghatis and 2 Palas (74 minutes from sunrise).

Step 2 above to obtain the final number or sum. Read both sides of the Page/Card
(सपुा) bearing the same number as the final number or sum. The card will have the
true story, if the Lord wishes, of the person who has the question.
If someone doesn‟t have a birth chart, then use the time that the person arrives to make the
Prashna Chart (Chart drawn with the time of query as the time of birth) and use the above
method with this Prashna Chart, and if the Lord wishes, the result will be good.

Shri Bhriguji tells to Shri Shukraji, „O Son, I will narrate this native‟s live story, so listen
carefully‟.
„This native will be fortunate, generous, will be happy and ever enthusiastic, will have good
son, who will get destroyed, will gain prestige, will be virtuous, will not be very educated;
however, he will be very intelligent. He may develop some secret worries at any time. His
wife will be fortunate, clever and from a good family. The native will be loving and caring
and will have a pure heart. At some time, he will face obstacles which will result in a loss.
He may have a diabetes type of disease due to which there will be loss of virility, but this can
be cured by medicine. There will be suffering on account of ancestors, his mother will
propitiate gods to obtain children, (Editor‟s comments: I think “garbhaalpaMca khaMdata”
गब िअल्पिंखडंत् means abortions or premature delivery resulting in loss of the child.) but he
will not have children and if he has, he will have suffering on account of them. Even when
child is conceived, it will be aborted (Editors Comments: “Vandhya” is a woman who is
incapable of having progeny.) and this may happen many times. All his life, he will have
gains but he cannot see child related happiness even in his dreams. In his previous birth, this
native has committed many grievous sins‟.
Chandrashekhar‟s comment: I think “भहत्प्राहप्तभहोत्साहो राबप्रीहतहदनहेदन े ग्रहकष्टशयीयिे यिेनबं्याहधयक्तम् काहस्मन्कारेभहत्राब ं बाग्मवहृिनसशंम् उच्चऩदवीिप्राप्नोहत प्रहसिोधनेरुोकभा व्रणव्याहधशयीयिे हिन्हदहेस्यदृष्टम् भासवेषसेखुपं्राहप्त राबो बवहत नान्यथूा शाऩाथनंऩतु्रतंात ऩवू िऩाऩभहानकं सव िऐश्वम िप्राप्नोहत सतु्सखुस्वप्नदंृष्टम् ॥“ has not been translated here. This translates as he will
have great wealth, his profits shall grow daily and he would be enthusiastic. Due to the effect
of planets he shall have diseases of blood and loose motions (or even disease where he loses
blood that is bleeding piles). At some point in time his fortune will increase, he will get
higher degree of education, shall be famous for his cattle and there would be some marks due
to abscess or wounds on his body. He would happy after 30 years of age however on account
of curse (of previous life) due to great sins, he shall not have progeny. Though having great
wealth he will not have progeny even in his dreams.
