This is a loose translation:
Tithi – Fame and Wealth
Vara -Life (Ayush)
Nakshatra – Removes Sins
Yoga – Removes illhealth
Karana – accomplishment of work
The five elements rule the five limbs
Tattwa | Planets | Signs | Panchanga | Direction Kendra |
Akasa (Ether / Space / Atmosphere) | Jupiter | None (All Signs) | Yoga | 1 |
Vayu (Wind) Kama | Saturn, Rahu | Gemini, Libra, Aqua | Nakshatra | 7 |
Tejo (Fire) Dharma | Sun, Mars | Aries, Leo, Sagi | Vara | 10 |
Aapah (Water) Moksa | Moon, Venus | Cancer, Scor, Pisces | Tithi | 4 |
Prithvi (Earth) Artha | Mercury | Taurus, Virgo, Capr | Karana | 1 |
The most powerful is Akasa, while least powerful is Prithvi. As the Akasa is endless / not material – just the space, the actual power lies in the nakshatra.
Therefore, Nakshatras are the most powerful.
