Each graha's six-fold strength (Ṣaḍbala) is built into a temple — Sthāna the foundation, Dik the pillars, Kāla the śikhara, Cheṣṭa the inner fire, Naisargika the scale, Dṛk the windows. A strong planet stands tall and radiant; a weak one stands dim and slender. The shortest temple is where life asks the most effort.
