INTRODUCTION
As the name suggests Shadbala means six fold strength. Although these strengths are combinedly used
for finding the effect of planets on the lives of the natives, there is more use of the strengths and we get
the clue of those uses from their names. If they were to be used combinedly, then such specific names
were unnecessary. Moreover, this is more logical to think that, a planet when strong, might not be so for
influencing all affairs in our lives. A planet which might give good status might not be good to show the
direction of your life. So we must construe, the special significance hidden in the names given to the six
sources of strengths. These strengths need not be used only predicting the results of the dasa, however,
can be used for normal horoscopic interpretation. or illustration, the kendradi bala is used in ayur
calculation etc. !ne can understand their use more and more by understanding their name and their
basis of calculation.
