Within the vectorized reference corpus (jyotish_corpus_core_v3), the doctrinal cluster of Sthana Bala & Dig Bala (Positional & Directional Strength) (BALA-02) is cross-indexed across 1,668 verified passages and 958 numbered shlokas in 18 Sanskrit treatises.
BALA-02)
Codified in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 27, Verses 2–14 and Sripati Paddhati & Phaladeepika Chapter 4, Sthana Bala & Dig Bala (Positional & Directional Strength) operates under the mathematical invariant Sthana = 5 Sub-Balas (Up to 510+ Virupas) ; Dig Bala = 0 to 60 Virupas: Sthana Bala aggregates five positional measures, Uchcha Bala (exaltation proximity, 0–60v), Saptavargaja Bala (dignity across D1, D2, D3, D7, D9, D12, and D30), Ojhayugmarasyamsa Bala (odd/even sign and Navamsa gender parity, 0–30v), Kendradi Bala (60v in Kendra, 30v Panapara, 15v Apoklima), and Drekkana Bala (15v), while Dig Bala measures angular distance from a planet's powerless cardinal point divided by 3.
SHASTRIC MECHANICSMathematical Formulation & Structural Rules of Sthana Bala & Dig Bala (Positional & Directional Strength)
Within Sthana Bala, Saptavargaja Bala carries the largest mathematical weight because a planet in Moolatrikona earns 45 Virupas, in Swakshetra 30 Virupas, in Adhimitra (great friend) 22.5 Virupas, in Mitra 15 Virupas, in Sama 7.5 Virupas, in Shatru 3.75 Virupas, and in Adhishatru 1.875 Virupas across seven divisional charts simultaneously. For Dig Bala, the exact degree of the powerless house cusp (Nirbala Bhava) is subtracted from the planet's longitude (normalized to 0°–180°) and divided by 3, yielding 60.0 Virupas at the exact peak cusp.
The structural matrix below details the exact computational parameters, degree thresholds, and classical interpretive clauses for Sthana Bala & Dig Bala (Positional & Directional Strength) (BALA-02) as preserved in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 27, Verses 2–14.
| Vector Component | Exact Parashari Equation | Virupa Range | Peak Condition / Cardinal Pole |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uchcha Bala | |Planet_Lon minus Deep_Neecha_Lon| / 3 (normalized <= 180°) |
0.00 – 60.00 Virupas |
