THE CORRECT TIME OF BIRTH RECTIFICATION

I state in brief a few points about the birth time. These points could help persons who do not know the intricate calculations of pre natal birth and rectification. Even for a correct pre natal calculation, the conception time is important (referring to H Bailery's "Pre Natal Epoch) where there are 64 variations, laws of sexes, etc. There are also correction through Kunda Navamsa (Nava Navamsa), etc. In Satya Jatakam, Satyacharya writes that there are three moments which can be taken as birth time, for which the horoscope can be cast:
1) Adhana lagna the moment of conception

2) Siro darshana lagna when the head becomes visible

The moment of conception is hard to determine because even if one knows the precise moment that the seed was deposited in the womb that is not the moment of conception because it takes some time for the sperm to find the ovum; it could take hours and sometimes even a day or two, because the sperm can live from 3-5 days inside the woman's body. if the head shows first then the birth time is when the feet come out. Bhu patana referred to the fact that in earlier days women in India didn't lay down to give birth but squatted holding on to a rope or other means of support during the labor. In todays conditions: women have babies in maternity wards where they lay down on a bed, to adjust the principle to the present situation that is, baby's body wholly leaves the mother's body is the time of birth.

3) Bhu patana lagna when the body touches the earth

In todays conditions: women have babies in maternity wards where they lay down on a bed, to adjust the principle to the present situation that is, baby's body wholly leaves the mother's body is the time of birth. At this juncture, I would like to state that the clock should be set correctly and the time also noted correctly.

Sage Satyacarya states that the first two moments are hard to ascertain (to get the correct time of rectification, one should know the time and place of conception refer point no. 1 above) and that one should, therefore, take the third one only.
