Jathaka Sloka. Horoscope Verse..............Its significance and origin..................

" Aum Sri Mahaganapthiye namaha"

The procedure to write a Jathaka (Horoscope) of a child should invariably begin with the following sloka as per Hindu scripture................

"Janani janma soukyanam

vardhanee kula sampatham

Padhavee poorva punyaanaam

likyathe janma pathrika."........................Its English translation reads:-......

For the welfare of the mother and the child 
For the growth of the family happiness 
To follow the ancient virtuous practices 
The horoscope is written - 

Janma pathrika(Horoscope) is a written document of one's birth. we call it as horoscope. it is a practice from times of yore to write a sloka before writing the horoscope of a person. The sanscrit sloka may be the contribution of kalidasa of kalamitra.

padhavee......that one will get the status of state or profession or position that one holds. This padhavee is known by the punyam indicated in the sloka/horoscope. Poorva punniyam is a continuous process of previous birth though the janma pathrika related to the present birth. This padhavee will come based on poorva punniyam.

Padhavee poorva punyanam - what is the exact meaning to this we write in janma pathrika?

why we write this verse ''jenani jenma sowkyanam.... the answer is that it is a practice to write this sloka before writing a horoscope of a person. what is the motivation of writing a sloka before writing the horoscope and what treasure hides in this sloka?

This is by physical, vital, and mental. (bbu, bhva, svah) The combined fate, karma involved in this aspect. so, we say padhavee poorva punniyanam..Though, the padhavee is one's own making, but completely based on one's past karma. Hence, the sloka says about the padhavee..(based on) poorva punniyanam..past virtues

The calculations in our Jadakams(Horoscope) confirm to real astronomy, in an ancient heritage way where astrology was studied earnestly. ...........,,and also written as 'GARBHA SELLUPOGA' that means, whatever karmas leftover i is being carried over in the present jananam.
