Chadak,Vedhaka,Bandhaka and pratibandhaka planets

 Verse 19-Uttar kalamrit

पूर्णेन्द्विज्यशनिध्वजाः स्वयुतभाद्विर्द्वादशच्छादकाः दुष्टश्वेन्द्विणणोऽपि रि:फभवने शेषाः पुरच्छादकाः । दृष्ट्या क्षेत्रयुतेन वा सहयुजान्योन्यर्क्षयुक्तेन वा सर्वे भावपभावकारकखगाः शक्ताः क्रमाद्योगदाः ।। १९ ।।

Full Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Ketu are called Chadakas (overshadowing planets).

Jupiter, when owning malefic houses (6, 8, 12), becomes malefic and acts as Chadaka only for the 12th from himself.

Others (Moon, Saturn, Ketu) are Chadakas for the 2nd house from themselves.

The lords and karakas of houses bring auspicious results when connected by aspect, conjunction, exchange, or mutual placement.

Verse 20

यद्यद्भावधर्क्षसंस्थितखगस्तच्छादकाख्यस्मृत- स्तद्भ्रातृस्थखगोऽपि वेधकखगस्तद्बन्युगो बन्धकः । तद्वन् प्रतिबन्धकोऽत्र सहितात्तद्रन्प्रवृद्धिक्षयी स्यातां भावधनास्तभद्वयपती तन्मारकाख्यौ क्रमात् ।। २० ।।

A planet in the 2nd from a Bhava = Chadaka (overshadower).

In the 3rd from it = Vedhaka (obstructor).

In the 4th from it = Bandhaka (imprisoner).

In the 8th from it = Pratibandhaka (opposer).

From the 8th, one judges the increase or decrease of that Bhava.

Lords of the 2nd and 7th houses from a Bhava are its Marakas (destroyers).

Notes:

Chadaka = shadowing force.

Vedha = obstruction.

Bandhaka = imprisonment.

Pratibandhaka = opposition.

Maraka = death-inflicting or destructive.

Verse 21

मित्रकूरखगस्य दृष्टिरनयैः स्वाधीनवेधा स्मृता शत्रुक्रूरनिरीक्षितेन च पराधीनाख्यवेधा भवेत् । पापैः पूर्वफलं ततोऽन्तिमफलं सौम्यैः खलैस्तादृशं सौम्यासौम्यखगैर्बलाधिकतमैः स्याद्भाग्यमायुः क्रमात् ।। २१ ।।

Aspect of friendly planets on a malefic = Svadhina Vedha (under control, less harmful).

Aspect of unfriendly malefics on a malefic = Paradhina Vedha (beyond control, harmful).

Benefic aspects give good results, usually felt at the beginning.

Malefic aspects bring difficulties, often felt towards the end.

Fortune (Bhagya) and longevity (Ayushya) depend on the relative strength of benefics and malefics.

Enemies of malefics are defined (e.g., Sun vs. Saturn/Venus, Mars vs. Mercury, etc.).

The concept of Vedha is especially important in transit (Gochara) analysis.
