TIMING Of DEATH

·         The question of death should be examined from the birth and horary charts. In order to ascertain the nature of death, its cause and the time of its occurrence, the yogas, the nature of Dasas and the nature and positions of Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun arid the Moon should all be first studied.
·       Death takes place at the end of the period indicated by Yogayus. Sometimes the age as contributed by Dasas goes counter to the age given by yogas. This   should be carefully understood.
·    In the absence of any yogas in the horoscope indicating age, we have to be guided by the Dashas and determine the period of death.
Special
      From this we see that 'Dasayus' is very important. But 'Yogayus' is no less \aluable. Certain yogas as Sadhyorishta, Arishta. etc., are not said to be controlled by Dasas. Certain yogas as Rishta-Yogas, Madhyayus or Deer-ghayur yogas are to be checked by the age contributed by Dasas and Bhuktis. If Yogayus indicates, say 75 years, and according to Dasas also the same age is obtained, then one can boldly declare the length of life.
·         Death can happen in the Dasa or Antardasa of the weakest — that which occupies the 6th, 8th, 12th or that which is associated with or aspected by malefics of the following: Lords of 8th from Lagna and the Moon; planets occupying or aspecting the 8th from Lagna and the Moon; Saturn; lords of the 22nd Drekkana from Lagna and the Moon; lord of the house occupied by Gulika; lords of the houses and Navamsas occupied by these factors; and Rahu.
Special
An exhaustive list of marakas is furnished in this stanza. Wherever Lagna is mentioned, Chandra Lagna is automatically meant. A discriminating astrologer should very carefully pick out the appropriate maraka. Of all these lords, the weakest — by occupying 6th or 8th house or subject to affliction — should be selected. The marakas can be listed thus:
1. The lord of the 8th house from Lagna.
2. The lord of the 8th house from Chandra.
3. The planets that occupy the 8th house from Lagna.
4. The planets that occupy the 8th house from Chandra.
5. The planets that aspect the 8th house from Lagna.
6. The planets that aspect the 8th house from Chandra.
7. Saturn.
8. The lord of 22nd Drekkana from Lagna.
9. The lord of 22nd Drekkana from Chandra.
10. The lord of the house occupied by Gulika.
11. The lords of the houses occupied by the ten lords noted above.
12. Navamsa lords of the above-mentioned planets.
13. Rahu.
With due deference to the great author's accomplishments, it seems to us that to select a maraka out of this formidable number — almost all planets seem to get involved somehow — is a herculean task. A much simpler method would be to consider all the lords except those mentioned in 11 and 12 and then decide the weakest. Generally the 7th and 2nd are considered houses of death.
·         Death can take place in the sub-periods of malefics and the major periods of malefics. The Dasas and Bhuktis of the 3rd, 5th and 7th Nakshatras from Janma Nakshatra can also cause death. If 2 or more Dasas terminate at the same time, then that period also may be taken as time of death. Again, the end of all Dasas is not good. Especially the last period of all Dashas indicating evil has to be considered as bad.
·         The lordship of the 8th house, etc., is bad for all Dasas. The Dasas of lords of the 3rd, 5th and 7th Naksbatras from Janma Nakshatra are bad in Vimshottari Dasa.
Special
The lord of a Dasa owning the 8th is bad whatever be the type of Dasa applied — Vimshottari, Ashtottari, Kalachakra, etc. But the Dasas of the lords of the 3rd, 5th and 7th Nakshatras are bad only with reference to Vimshottari.

Remedies Through Aroma's


Aromatic  Compounds

5.1.1 Concept

When food is consumed, the interaction of taste, odor and textural feeling provides an overall sensation which is best defined by the English word “flavor”. German and some other languages do not have an adequate expression for such a broad and comprehensive term. Flavor results from compounds that are divided into two broad classes: Those responsible for taste and those responsible for odors, the latter often designated as aroma substances. However, there are compounds which provide both sensations.

Compounds responsible for taste are generally nonvolatile at room temperature. Therefore, they interact only with taste receptors located in the taste buds of the tongue. The four important basic taste perceptions are provided by: sour, sweet, bitter and salty compounds. They are covered in separate sections (cf., for example, 8.10, 22.3, 1.2.6, 1.3.3, 4.2.3 and 8.8). Glutamate stimulates the fifth basic taste (cf. 8.6.1).

Aroma substances are volatile compounds which are perceived by the odor receptor sites of the smell organ, i. e. the olfactory tissue of the nasal cavity. They reach the receptors when drawn in through the nose (orthonasal detection) and via the throat after being released by chewing (retronasal detection). The concept of aroma substances, like the concept of taste substances, should be used loosely, since a compound might contribute to the typical odor or taste of one food, while in another food it might cause a faulty odor or taste, or both, resulting in an off-flavor.


5.1.2 Impact Compounds of Natural Aromas

The amount of volatile substances present in food is extremely low (ca. 10–15 mg/kg). In general, however, they comprise a large number of components. Especially foods made by thermal processes, alone (e. g., coffee) or in combination with a fermentation process (e. g., bread, beer, cocoa, or tea), contain more than 800 volatile compounds. A great variety of compounds is often present in fruits and vegetables as well.

All the known volatile compounds are classified according to the food and the class of compounds and published in a tabular compilation (Nijssen, L. M. et al., 1999). A total of 7100 compounds in more than 450 foods are listed in the 1999 edi-tion, which is also available as a database on the internet.

Of all the volatile compounds, only a limited number are important for aroma. Compounds that are considered as aroma substances are primarily those which are present in food in concen-trations higher than the odor and/or taste thresh-olds (cf. “Aroma Value”, 5.1.4). Compounds with concentrations lower than the odor and/or taste thresholds also contribute to aroma when mix-tures of them exceed these thresholds (for ex-amples of additive effects, see 3.2.1.1, 20.1.7.8, 21.1.3.4).

Among the aroma substances, special attention is paid to those compounds that provide the charac-teristic aroma of the food and are, consequently, called key odorants (character impact aroma com-pounds). Examples are given in Table 5.1.

In the case of important foods, the differentiation between odorants and the remaining volatile com-pounds has greatly progressed. Important find-ings are presented in the section on “Aroma” in the corresponding chapters.

Threshold Value

The lowest concentration of a compound that is just enough for the recognition of its odor is called the odor threshold (recognition threshold). The detection threshold is lower, i. e., the concen-tration at which the compound is detectable but the aroma quality still cannot be unambiguously established. The threshold values are frequently determined by smelling (orthonasal value) and by tasting the sample (retronasal value). With a few exceptions, only the orthonasal values are given in this chapter. Indeed, the example of the carbonyl compounds shows how large the difference between the ortho- and retronasal thresholds can be (cf. 3.7.2.1.9).

Threshold concentration data allow comparison of the intensity or potency of odorous substances. The examples in Table 5.2 illustrate that great differences exist between individual aroma com-pounds, with an odor potency range of several or-ders of magnitude.

In an example provided by nootkatone, an es-sential aroma compound of grapefruit peel oil (cf. 18.1.2.6.3), it is obvious that the two enan-tiomers (optical isomers) differ significantly in their aroma intensity (cf. 5.2.5 and 5.3.2.4) and, occasionally, in aroma quality or character.
The threshold concentrations (values) for aroma compounds are dependent on their vapor pres-sure, which is affected by both temperature and medium. Interactions with other odor-producing substances can result in a strong increase in the odor thresholds. The magnitude of this effect is demonstrated in a model experiment in which the odor thresholds of compounds in water were determined in the presence and absence of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HD3F). The results in Table 5.3 show that HD3F does not influence the threshold value of 4-vinylguaiacol. However, the threshold values of the other odorants increase in the presence of HD3F. This effect is the greatest in the case of β-damascenone, the threshold value being increased by a factor of 90. Other examples in this book which show that the odor threshold of a compound increases when it is influenced by other odor-producing substances are a comparison of the threshold values in water and beer (cf. Table 5.4) as well as in water and in aqueous ethanol.

5.1.4 Aroma Value

As already indicated, compounds with high “aroma values” may contribute to the aroma of foods. The “aroma value” Ax of a compound is calculated according to the definition:
 
The examples presented in Fig. 5.1 show that the exponent n and, therefore, the dependency of the odor intensity on the concentration can vary substantially. Within a class of compounds, the range of variations is not very large, e. g., n = 0.500.63 for the alkanals C4–C9.

In addition, additive effects that are difficult to assess must also be considered. Examinations of mixtures have provided preliminary information. They show that although the intensities of com-pounds with a similar aroma note add up, the in-tensity of the mixture is usually lower than the sum of the individual intensities (cf. 3.2.1.1). For substances which clearly differ in their aroma note, however, the odor profile of a mixture is composed of the odor profiles of the components added together, only when the odor intensities are approximately equal. If the concentration ratio is such that the odor intensity of one component pre-dominates, this component then largely or com-pletely determines the odor profile.

Examples are (E)-2-hexenal and (E)-2-decenal which have clearly different odor profiles (cf. Fig. 5.2 a and 5.2 f). If the ratio of the odor intensities is approximately one, the odor notes of both aldehydes can be recognized in the odor profile of the mixture (Fig. 5.2 d). But if the dominating odor intensity is that of the decenal (Fig. 5.2 b), or of the hexenal (Fig. 5.2 e), that particular note determines the odor profile of the mixture.
