v6.c82.464

⁹⁰¹ To mention only a few striking matters of differences of opinion between Varāha and Yavanas, (1) Yavanas favoured the view that all planets could be lords of horā (half of a rāśi), while Bṛ J. said no to this (I 11-12); (2) Yavanas held that the moon was never a malefic planet, Bṛ J. (II 5) said it was so in certain cases; (3) Yavanas regarded Mars as sāttvika, while Br. J. (II. 7) held Mars to be tāmasika, (4) Yavanas held that planets could only be friends or enemies among themselves, while Br. J. (II. 15) held that they could also be neither friends nor foes; (5) Yavanas and Varāha differed on the temporary friendship or enmity of planets (Br. J. II. 18), (6) Yavanas spoke of Vajrayoga, but Bṛ J. (XII 3 and 6) held that such a yoga was impossible, (7) Yavanas held that only the Kumbhadvādaśāṁśa was inauspicious, the Bṛ J. (XXI 3) found fault with this.
