Shadbala (sixfold strength)

Shadbala quantifies graha strength through six components (positional, directional, temporal, motional, natural, aspectual strength)—used in classical Jyotish to compare planets before judging yogas-intro or dasha results.

Practical use:

• Compare lagna lord vs dasha lord
• See if debilitated grahas gain compensating strength
• Avoid over-weighting minor differences—bala is expert terrain
