Rearranging the lordship for aprakash grahas and Upagrahas, we arrive at the following list.

Aprakash Grahas:
Mars - Dhuma
Moon - Paridhi/ Parivesha
Venus - Kodanda/ Indrachapa
Rahu Pata / Vyatipata
Ketu - Upaketu

Upagrahas:
Sun - Kala
Mars - Mrtyu
Jupiter - Yamaghantaka
Mercury - Ardhaprahara
Saturn - Gulika
Saturn - Mandi

Dignities of Upagrahas
Keeranuru Nataraja of Jatakalankaram (Tamil version) gives Ris of
dignities for these UpaGrahas and Gulik etc. which are as follows
Upagraha Exaltation Debilitation Swakshetra Malefic sign
Dhuma Leo Aquarius Capricorn Aries, Scorpio
Vyatipat Scorpio Taurus Gemini Libra
Parivesh Gemini Sagittarius Sagittarius Pisces
Indrachapa Sagittarius Gemini Cancer Cancer
Upaketu Aquarius Leo Cancer Aries, Scorpio
Gulika - - Aquarius -
Yamaghantaka- - Sagittarius -
Ardhaprahara- - Gemini -
Kala - - Capricorn -
Mrtyu - - Scorpio -

If the Upagrahas are placed in dignity, their evil effects are reduced.

Affliction by the aprakash grahas is determined by conjunction with the Sun, Moon, or
Lagna. If Conjunct the lord of the Sun, the lineage is hurt and there may be damage to
procreative abilities. This is called Brahma Sarpa. If the aprakash grahas are conjunct the
Subhapati (Moon's lord), the longevity of the person is hurt, this is called Shiva Sarpa. If
there is a conjunction with the Lagnesh, the wisdom (jna) of the person may be afflicted or
the brains destroyed. This is called Visnu Sarpa. The Lagna, Sun and Moon are the tripod of
life and are destroyed by the Papa Purusha.

There are three levels to this type of affliction. Firs if they are in the same rasi, next if they
are in the same naksatra, and third if they are in the same navamsa pada.
1. Same Rasi- shows affliction to resources (adridha karma)
2. Same Naksatra- shows affliction to the mind (dridha-adradha karma)
3. Same Navamsa Pada- shows affliction to one's fortune (dridha karma- generally not able to
cure/fix if it is caused by one's bhagya)
Note: what is indicated by grahas will dominate over what is shown by upagrahas

Adridha karma is like a karma that is drawn in sand and easy to change. If the Subhapati is in
the same sign as an aprakash graha then the resources for being healthy may be lacking.
Unless a graha is showing otherwise, the person may not have the right type of food or
vitamins to be healthy and be long lived. Dridha-adridha karma is harder to change, as if the
karma is written on paper, but still possible. The person doesn't want to eat healthy or to do
activities that will promote health. Dridha karma is fixed and is as if it was carved in stone,
only the help of grace form god or guru can change the circumstance. If the Subhapati were
in the same navamsa pada as the aprakash graha the person would not have the fortune to
have a long life caused by the indicating factors.

When the Sun's lord is afflicted there is a problem with progeny to carry on one's lineage.
Notice the importance of AS3 and AS9 in the physical ability to have children. Aprakash
grahas in the same sign will show lack of resources to have children like no marriage, or
some other type of affliction. In the same naksatra the mind is afflicted and the person may
not want to have children.

In the same navamsa pada the bhagya is afflicted and it is not the person's good fortune to
have children that will carry forth their lineage.
