Classical Shadbala (BPHS ch. 27) in virupas [Parashari]

get_classical_shadbala

Parashari, not KP. The Shadbala of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 27 (Santhanam) in VIRUPAS, 60 to a rupa, for the seven planets; Rahu and Ketu have none (BPHS computes it for the seven only). Returns '{ method: 'bphs-shadbala', planets: [{ planet, sthana, dig: { virupas, fullStrengthHouse, measuredFromCusp, arcDeg }, kala, chesta, naisargika, drik, totalVirupas, totalRupas, requiredVirupas, requirementRatio, verdict: STRONG | WEAK, minorityRequirement, componentMinimums, ishtaPhala, kashtaPhala, rank }], strongest, weakest, variants: [{ key, reading, source, totals, verdictsChanged, strongestChanged, strongestUnderVariant }], componentProvenance: [{ component, source }], methodNote, warnings, houseConvention }'. Each planet carries every sub-part of the six balas (Sthana's Uccha, Saptavargaja, Ojha-Yugma, Kendra and Drekkana; Kala's Nathonnatha, Paksha, Tribhaga, the Abda, Masa, Vara and Hora lords, Ayana and the 27.20 graha-yuddha correction; Chesta from the motion states; Drik over the sputa drishti scale), their sum against the planet's own 27.32-33 requirement ('verdict' is absolute: Mercury at 419 against 420 is weak), the 27.34-36 component gates ('componentMinimums', with 'attainable' and 'failedAttainable' because one transmitted gate cannot be passed, F083), and Ishta and Kashta phala. 'strongest' and 'weakest' are the selector 27.37-38 asks for. 'componentProvenance' names the one component that is not the classical quantity (Chesta, which needs a mean planet this engine does not compute); 'variants' gives each editorial dispute as its own totals and what it moves, none averaged. 'houseConvention' says Dig bala is measured from the Placidus cusps (27.7). **'planets' is paged, one planet per page in rank order**, never cut inside a row; everything else repeats on every page, so 'strongest', 'weakest' and the 'variants' totals read from page 1. The Lumin 0-100 index is 'get_shadbala_index', a different quantity: never compare the two figures. Gates no KP verdict. The same block 'get_shadbala' returns as 'classical', with its 'houseConvention'.
