When Lagna Pada and Dara Pada are in mutual kona or kendra, the relationship between wife and husband will be friendly and supportive, if
second from the Lagna Pada contains a benefic exalted or aspected by exalted
planets, one will have many beautiful and pativrata wives.
A supportive wife is one who cares for her husband and
always sides with him even if he is a debauch, evil or impotent. Such woman
have been praised heavily in Puranas and are known to have stopped even Sun
moon in their movements, some have reversed the cycle of time and other
impossible feats have been accomplished by such women through the power of
penance of Pativratya.
Mandodari the queen of Ravan was a very pious woman. She
advised Ravan against all evils, yet she never deplored him for his dastardly
acts. She always prayed the Lord in him, even if he went on to bring a
thousands of wives in a unethical manner. Even when the whole world was
against her husband for taking a stand against the Lord Narayana, she stood by
her husband. God Ram praised her for her partivratya and granted her
Mangalya. [ Ravana was dead, yet she remained sumangali forever. How ?].
In Vedic culture woman are considered to be sumangali as
long as the pyre of husband in the cremation ground does not subside. But Lord
Ram granted that the funeral pyre of Ravana be never subside and fire be always
blazing from his funeral altar. This is known as Ravan kashtha which keeps
blazing ever and Mandodari remains a sumangali.
Similarly when Lagnapada and Darapada are in mutual 6th 8th
or 12th, there will be enmity between the wife and husband.
Prabhas the Vasu was cursed by the Rishi that he be born as
human and because he had attempted to steal the cow on the insistence of his
wife, there be enmity between him and his wife in the human birth.
Prabhas was born as Bheeshma and his wife was born as AMBA.
Amba vowed to kill Bheesma, as his wife was not available to him in this birth
owing to rishis’ curse, Bheeshma converted the curse to his advantage by
taking Bheeshma vrata [ajanma bramhacharya] and advanced his spiritual journey.
For the greats and devotees of Vishnu even curse is a great
source of sadhana.
