Notes!
1) Panchang indicators are arranged in decreasing order of their importance. Nakshatra and day of the week have priority influence on time and person.
2) If the ruler of the day of the week is strong in the horoscope, then the influence of this factor of panchang will acquire an additional favorable character. And vice versa.
3) It is good when three or more of the panchang branches have a beneficial effect. This is easy to understand by looking at the color of the accompanying panchanga indicator. Green color and its shades are favorable for various peaceful affairs. Yellow indicates the need to be circumspect, and red (and its shades) indicates problematic influences. Other colors can be near the `nakshatra` indicator and they require separate study, although, as a rule, they indicate favorable opportunities.
4) Panchang indicators are secondary to the horoscope and its effects.
5) In the subject of prashna (horary astrology), it is favorable when the ruler of the hora (hour) coincides with the ruler of the day, and when the ruler of the hora is a friend of the ruler of the day. This is a chance for a positive answer to the question asked. It is also believed that the ruler of the hora and his position in the horoscope, plus the houses it controls, characterize the question of the customer (which led him to the astrologer), as well as his immediate prospects. Thus, the ruler of the hora is considered along with the ruler of the lagna (ascendant).

| Jupiter | Rahu | Moon | Sun | Saturn | Mercury | Venus | Mars |
Note! K. N. Rao insists on using the system of seven karakas, arguing that Rahu cannot be the Atmakaraka. Sanjay Rath's opinion on this issue can be found in his articles and, on the whole, it does not contradict this statement (for material objects, seven karakas should be considered). But he also shows cases where the system of eight karakas, including Rahu, can find application.
To move from the system of eight karakas to seven, you need to exclude "Pitrukaraka" from the table header, and Rahu from the planets, aligning everything accordingly. This gives the following table:
| Atmakaraka | Amatyakaraka | Bhratrukaraka | Matrukaraka | Putrakaraka | Gnatikaraka | Darakaraka |
| Jupiter | Moon | Sun | Saturn | Mercury | Venus | Mars |
