Malefics in 3 Kendras · No Benefics in Kendra
Classical Reference01
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Chapter 36, Sloka 21-22 (paraphrased):
When all malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, waning Moon, Rahu, Ketu) occupy three Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) and no benefic planet occupies any Kendra, the native becomes scheming, wicked, miserable, destitute, and dependent upon others for survival.
Definition02
All malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, waning Moon, Rahu, Ketu) are placed in three Kendras (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) and no benefic planet (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, waxing Moon) is placed in any Kendra.
Understanding the Pattern03
✦All malefics in 3 out of 4 Kendras
✦No benefic in any Kendra
✦The 3 Kendras can be any combination (e.g. 1,4,7 or 4,7,10 or 1,7,10, etc.)
✦The 4th Kendra may be empty or have no planet (but if a planet is there, it will also be a malefic)
Effects04
1Scheming (always planning, plotting, conspiring)
2Wicked (cruel, evil-natured, harmful to others)
3Miserable (always in distress, unhappy, suffering)
4Destitute (extremely poor, without resources)
5Dependent upon others for subsistence (cannot earn own living, relies on others for food and survival)

Dala Sarpa Yoga is fully formed.
Important Notes06
✦This is a highly inauspicious yoga one of the most difficult for peace and prosperity- "Three Kendras" means exactly 3 Kendras have malefics not necessarily all 4
✦The 4th Kendra must have no benefic, but may have a malefic or be empty
✦If Moon is waxing (Shukla Paksha), it is considered benefic and should not be in Kendra
✦Rahu and Ketu are always malefic if they occupy Kendras, they worsen the yoga
✦This yoga is considered curse-like in classical texts requires strong remedies
Important Notes07

| Only 2 Kendras have malefics | Not Dala Sarpa Yoga milder effects |
| Malefics in all 4 Kendras | Even worse extreme suffering |
| No benefic in any Kendra but malefics in only 2 Kendras | Not this yoga |
