JAIMINI 4.3
This is an extensive look at details of varṇada daśā and impact on divisions/houses with lots of female horoscopy and pregnancy details once again. While there is some connections with the alternate ascendants defined in BPHS, we see the trend started previously in Jaimini largely going into his own detailed teachings and shows a marked move away from earlier chapters that were largely in line and derived from BPHS.

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS: As noted before BPHS covers many topics not covered in Jaimini and were not referenced if they did not connect to Jaimini in some way. This includes numerous sections such as chapters describing philosophical underpinning of the creation, avatars, many details on the planet and sign definitions, finding planetary positions, surroundings at time of birth, various effects of house and house lords (which Parāśara seems to emphasize more than Jaimini), ṣaḍvarga, avasthā of planets, aṣṭakavarga system, planetary rays, sudarṣana cakra, results of pancamahapuruśa-elements-gunas, lost horoscopy, conditions for asceticism, notes on body markings and body parts, curses from previous births, flaws in times, and remedial measures. Please see relevant chapters there for more information.
