is called Vargottama, so also the 5th navāṁśa of Vṛṣabha, Siṁha, Vṛścika and Kumbha (that are *sthira*), and the 9th navāṁśa of Mithuna, Kanyā, Dhanus, Mīna (that are *dvisvabhāva*) are called Vargottama (Bṛ. J. I. 14) and they yield beneficent results.⁸⁷⁰ The vargottama-navāṁśas of all rāśis bear the same names as the rāśis themselves.
