Shadbala (6-Fold Planetary Strength)

get_shadbala

[Vedic Parashari adjunct] TWO quantities, both returned, and the response says which is which. 'classical' is the real BPHS ch. 27 computation in VIRUPAS (60 to a rupa): Sthana broken into Uccha, Saptavargaja across seven vargas, Ojha-Yugma, Kendra and Drekkana; Dig by the 27.7 cusp arc; Kala into Nathonnatha, Paksha, Tribhaga, the four Abda/Masa/Vara/Hora period lords and Ayana from declination, plus the 27.20 graha-yuddha correction; Chesta from the eight motion states; Naisargika; Drik over the sputa drishti scale. Then the six are summed and compared against this planet's own required pinda at 27.32-33, with the 27.34-36 component gates and Ishta and Kashta phala. 'componentProvenance' names the one component that is NOT the classical quantity (Chesta, because 27.24-25 needs a mean planet of classical Indian theory this engine does not compute) and 'variants' carries five editorial disputes as separate totals saying what each one MOVES. The top-level six 0-100 scores are the older Lumin index, kept because other tools read it; 'divergence' reports how far the two RANKINGS disagree, which on a 40-chart set is a lot (the same strongest planet on 30% of charts). Rahu and Ketu are carried unranked: BPHS computes strength for the seven only. Never compare an index number with a printed Shadbala; the virupas under 'classical' are the comparable figures.
