Maha Sutra — Drekkana of the Lagna
Maha Sutra examines the drekkana (D3) of the Lagna — the third division of each sign.
How to read it
- Drekkana shows intensity and final form of the matter.
- Each sign has 3 drekkanas with different rulers.
- Maha Sutra often closes the answer pattern set by the previous four sutras.
What strengthens it
- A negative Maha after positive earlier sutras may indicate "good but not lasting".
Practical example

- No single sutra alone is decisive.
