VARGA CLASSIFICATION: Maitreya, explained now are the sum effects of classifications of different divisions (or Vargas so far narrated). These are four kinds, viz. Ṣaḍ-varga (6 divisions considered), Sapta-varga (7 divisions), Daśa-varga (10), and Ṣoḍaśa-varga (all 16). In the Ṣaḍ-varga classification, the Varga designations are Kiṁśuka, Vyañjana, Cāmara, Chatra and Kuṇḍala according to a planet being in 2 to 6 combinations of good Vargas. Next is Sapta-varga, in which these classifications continue in the same manner upto six good Vargas, the 7th additional Varga getting classified as Mukuṭa. In the Daśa-varga scheme, the designations commence from Pārijāta etc. such as 2 good Vargas — Pārijāta, 3. Uttama, 4. Gopura, 5. Siṁhāsana, 6. Pāravata, 7. Devaloka, 8. Brahmaloka, 9. Śakravāhana and 10. Vargas — Śrīdhāma. In the Ṣoḍaśa-varga scheme the combinations of Vargas go with designations thus: two good Vargas — Bhedaka, 3. Kusuma, 4. Nāgapuṣpa, 5. Kanduka, 6. Kerala, 7. Kalpa-vṛkṣa, 8. Candana-vana, 9. Pūrṇa-candra, 10. Uccaiḥśrava, 11. Dhanvantari, 12. Sūryakānta, 13. Vidruma, 14. Śakra-siṁhāsana, 15. Goloka and 16. Vargas — Śrīvallabha. In these divisions, the divisions falling in the planet's exaltation sign, Mūlatrikoṇa sign, own sign, and the signs owned by the lord of an angle from the Ārūḍha ascendant are all to be considered (as good Vargas). The divisions of a combust planet, defeated planet, weak planet, and a planet in bad Avasthās like Śayana be all ignored as auspicious, for these destroy the good yogas.
