Great importance was attached to the favourable position of Jupiter in the case of marriages. The Ratnamālā⁹³⁷ states 'Mercury that could be seen (being a good deal away from the Sun) and occupying the 1st, 4th or 10th place in the horoscope removes one hundred astrological defects; Venus removes double of such defects and the teacher of the gods (Jupiter) when powerful certainly renders nugatory even one hundred thousand defects'.
