- When second lord and second house is not tenanted by a malefic, if second lord is in kendra trikona man will always speak truth.
- If second lord is in the rasi of Saturn or mars with malefic in kendra or trikona, one will speak lies.
- If second house and second lord both are with malefics then certainly the native is a liar.
What is Truthful words?
Shri Krishna says "Truth is not about saying things as it exists, as it is seen and heard". Once there was a Bramhin, who never spoke a lie. One day certain bandits were chasing a group of villagers. These villagers came and took shelter in the Bramhins house. Bandits also came by, they asked Bramhin has he seen villagers and where are they? Bramhin showed them the place. The bandits killed all the villagers. Bramhin went to hell. Hell for saying truth. thus
“Na bruyath satyam apriyam” never speak truth that has ill consequences and not dear to good people.
Yudhisthira was the most truthful person on the earth. His chariot was four angul [inches] higher in space during war. This was because he never transgressed Dharma on all four quarters. Krishna asks him to utter a lie that Ashwatthama had died, Yudhisthira refuses to say a lie, Bheemasena kills an elephant named Ashwatthama, and asks his brother to say now Ashwatthama has died, you can say so. Yudhisthira says Ashwatthama died, and slowly utters the words ‘Elephant’ !
[His chariot comes down by one angul] why? Surprised Yudhisthira looks at Bheema for explanation.
Bheema says
Speaking truth and all other Dharma are primarily to please God. They independently don’t hold any special place [or meaning], by refusing God’s order you have transgressed Dharma, thus your chariot has come down
There is no bigger dharma than following Lord’s dictum.
