3) Brihath Jataka by Varhamihira (325 AC) :-- The person concerned will possess a good intellect and great strength. 4) Phala-deepika by Manthreswara :-- The native will be full of good qualities, wealthy, happy and valourous and he cannot be suppressed by any body. But the native will not be happy on account of his brothers (this can mean that he may have no brothers or the relations between him and his brothers may be inimical).
5) Saravali by Maha-Raja Kalyana Varma (10th century A.C; king of Vyaghrapaada kingdom) :-- The native will be valourous, unconquerable, without brothers, equipped with good qualities, healthy and famous.
6) Chamatkara Chintamani by Narayana Bhatt (5th century AC) :-- -The native will be valourous, wealthy (Wealth earned by valourous deeds) and unhappy on account of brothers and relatives.
7) Jataka Kalanidhi :- ANUJAM-NASTHI, DRAVYA-ABHAAVA, RAAHU-YUTHI-VYABHICHAARI, VESYA-LOLA, SAAHASIKA, BHAATHRU-HANTHA, BAHU-NISHTURAHA, JNAATHI-VRUDHI = When Mars (Kuja) is in 3rd house, he will not have brothers, very poor; if Kuja has association with Rahu, debaucherous, has intimate sexual relations with bitches (prostitutes), murders elder brothers, he is hated by all; his cousins / enemies will be more in number and they prosper.
My views :- The third house is an 'upachaya' house where malefics are said to give benefic results in accordance with the significations of the house. All the above authorities seem to have based their views on this principle. Mars is a significator of brothers. He is also a karaka for the third house. Mars in third is said to give ill effects in regard to brothers. This is perhaps due to 'Karako Bhava Nashaya' theory propagated by some of our ancient astrologers. But we strongly trust the view expressed by Bhrigu Sutras that all good effects in respect of brothers will be realised if Mars is in his own or in his sign of exaltation, or is under benefic influences, is very relevant, logical and correct in spite of the 'Karako Bhava Nashaya' theory.
