Dear Friends,
Six Vedanga's (Grammar, Etymology, Pronunciation, Tunes, Kalpa , Jyotisha ) are needed to understand Vedas is well known to all students of Veda and related subjects.
Students should also understand that these Vedanga should also be mutually used to understand better. Like for example it's evident that you need to understand Shiksha (Pronunciation) correctly to understand say Tunes ( Chandas), Etymology of words correctly to get the meanings of words and Grammar to associated the words to make complete meaning and so on. But the use of Jyotish with others is not so evident. Like for example Students of Sanskrit usually focus on Pronunciation(Shiksha), Etymology (Nirukta) and Grammar (Vyaakaran) but they don't have basics of Jyotish and Kalpa etc to tie things together.
To make my point clear and attempt an example, Let's take the example of Vibakti of Grammar. In Grammar (Vyaakaran) Vibhakti is an important word declinations to indicate the subject, object and verbs relations between them. Vibhakti means Prepositions. A Vibhakti is a declination(sounds added at the end of each noun) to indicate the relationship of Verb (Karma/Kriya) to the Person (both persons receiver and doer of karma).
There are 7 prime Vibhakti's or called cases, namely
| 1st case | Nominative | 1, 2, 3 |
| 2nd case | Accusative | Object, to (when the verb is go), towards, about |
| 3rd case | Instrumental | By, with, through |
| 4th case | Dative case | For, to (when the verb is give) |
| 5th case | Ablative | From, than |
| 6th case | Possessive | Of, 's, among |
| 7th case | Locative | In, on, at, among |
In Jyotish 7 indicates relationships, A Karma is always performed between two people. The bhaava(house) is numbered Seven because Seven types of relations is possible. The seven types of resources are the Seven Rasa's. In Grammar this gives rise to Seven types of Vibhakti. Let's take an example "A Boy" is involved in an activity (Karma) Verb. This leads to Seven types of tasks "Boy" can be involved in,
Let me take example with Single Boy, The students can refer to grammar books for 2 and mulptiboy declinations,
| Vibhakti | ekvacanama |
| Cases | Singular |
| Pratama Vibhakti | baalah बालः bālaḥ |
| 1st | A boy |
| Dwitiya Vibhakti | baalam बालं bālaṁ |
| 2nd | A boy is object, To a boy Towards a boy About a boy |
| Tritiya Vibhakti | baalena बालेन bālena |
| 3rd | By a boy, with a boy through a boy |
| Chaturta Vibhakti | baalaaya बालाय bālāya |
| 4th | For a boy, To a boy. |
| Pancama Vibhakti | baalaat बालात् bālāt |
| 5th | From a boy Than a boy |
| Shashti Vibhakti | baalasya बालस्य bālasya |
| 6th | Of a boy, Boy's |
| Saptma Vibhakti | baalao बालौ bālau |
| 7th | In a boy On a boy At a boy |
Note: The Sambodana or Exclamation is type of First.
Thus a relation to 7th house for partners and Seven types of relations formed with them for a certain karma can be understood.
For Example when we do mantra to worship each diety mostly we use the Fourth Vibhakti,
For example
The object : Shiva
Doer : Yourself
Action: Salutation
Namah Shivaaya
(I Salute) (To Shiva)
the Word Shiva is declined in 4th Vibhakti to form Shivaaya.
Thus 4th emotion of compassion can be invoked.
Warm Regards
