==Vedic usage==

In [[Aitareya Brahmana]], the term ''preṣya '' occurs in the sense of a menial servant, Śudra or a slave employed for being sent on an errand. In [[Pali]] texts of [[Buddhists]], ''preṣya'' is referred to in its prakritic forms – ''pessa'' or ''pesiya'' - meaning a messenger or a servant in general. However, in early literature there is hardly any elucidation regarding the nature of job, their person, or mode of dressing etc., that is available.<ref>{{cite book|title=Royal Attendants in Ancient Indian Literature, Epigraphy and Art|author=S.P.Tiwari|year=1987|publisher=Agam Kala Prakashan|pages=91, 92|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=b74tAAAAMAAJ&q=Preshya }}</ref> Bharuchi (600-650 A.D.) in his commentary on [[Manu (Hinduism)|Manu]] states that ''preṣya'' were a servile class different from the four types of slaves.<ref>{{cite book|title=Dimensions in Indian History|year=2005|publisher=Anamika Pub|page=59|isbn=9788179750933|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=_lHBLUSsdnUC&q=Preshya&pg=PA59 }}</ref>

Bhattoji Dikshita states (Siddhahta Haumadi Ch.XIV.621) :

:प्रेष्यब्रुवोर्हविषो देवतसंप्रदाने

that "the object of the verb ''preṣya'' and ''bruhi'' (imperative singular of ''Divadi'' verb, meaning send or utter) denoting sacrifial food, takes the sixth case-affix, when making offerings to deity is meant or when the deity is the recipient " ([[Shatapatha Brahmana]] I.5.3.8).<ref>{{cite book|title=The Siddhanta Haumadi of Bhattoji Dikshita|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|page=370|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=DyvgvoZ4EE8C&q=Preshya&pg=PA370 }}</ref> [[Valmiki]] states ([[Ramayana]] Sundar Kanda 39.39):

:अहं तावदिह प्राप्तः किं पुनस्ते महाबल |
:नहि प्रकृष्टाः प्रेष्यन्ते प्र्ष्यन्ते हीतरे जनाः ||

that honourable people are never asked to work as ''preṣyas''.

==Usage in Hindu astrology==

Mahadeva tells us that a) if the lord of the 10th house is weak and associated with ''papagrahas'' ('dire malefics') or b) if [[Mercury (astrology)|Mercury]] combining with either [[Jupiter (astrology)|Jupiter]] or [[Venus (astrology)|Venus]] is in a ''trika-bhava'' (the 6th,8th or 12th from the ''[[lagna]]'') or c) if the 10th house receives the aspects of many ''papagrahas'', or d) if the lord of the 10th house is relegated to an evil ''bhava'', then the person is inept and inefficient. He also states that if the 12th house from the ''lagna'' is heavily afflicted by ''papagrahas'' the person will suffer loss of wealth repeatedly, and that in case the ''lagna'' or the 2nd house or the 11th house and their respective lords are afflicted while placed in cruel [[shashtiamsa]]s in evil ''bhavas'' then one suffers want of wealth throughout life and contracts debts.<ref>{{cite book|title=Jataka Tattva (With translation and commentary by Dr. Suresh Chandra Misra)|author=Mahadeva|publisher=Ranjan Publications|page=iii|url=http://www.vedicsolutions.in/BookStore/BookDetail.asp?cnt=67&pid=RANJAN_H21&name=Jataka%20Tatvam&search=&value=&criteria=&qc=|access-date=2014-08-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808044531/http://www.vedicsolutions.in/BookStore/BookDetail.asp?cnt=67&pid=RANJAN_H21&name=Jataka%20Tatvam&search=&value=&criteria=&qc=|archive-date=2014-08-08|url-status=dead}}</ref> These [[Yoga (Hindu astrology)|yoga]]s indicate penury but are not ''preṣya yogas''.

In Chapter VI of his [[Jataka Parijata]], [[Vaidyanatha Dikshita]] provides the following ''preṣya yogas'' leading to servitude:-
:1) If the [[Sun (astrology)|Sun]] is in the 10th house from the ''lagna'', the [[Moon (astrology)|Moon]] occupies the 7th, Mars the 3rd and Jupiter is in the 2nd house, one serves others at night-time.
:2) If a fixed sign ([[Scorpio (astrology)|Scorpio]] or [[Aquarius (astrology)|Aquarius]]) rises in the ''lagna'', Jupiter owns the 2nd house and occupies the 8th, Venus is in the 9th and the Moon in the 7th, then one serves others.
:3) If the night-time birth is in a moveable sign and the lord of the ''lagna'' is in ''Riksha-sandhi'' and ''papagrahas'' occupy the ''kendras'', one serves others.
:4) If the day-time birth is in a fixed sign and [[Saturn (astrology)|Saturn]], the Moon, Jupiter and Venus are in ''rasi-sandhi'' or if a person is born during ''Krishna-paksha'' night-time, Venus is in the ''lagna'', the Moon even if in ''Uttama-[[Varga (astrology)|varga]]s'' is not in a ''kendra'' and Jupiter in ''Airavatansh'' is in ''rasi-sandhi'', one serves others.
:5) If [[Mars (astrology)|Mars]], Jupiter and the Sun situated in the 3rd, 4th and the 10th ''bhavas'' in ''bhava-sandhi'' or ''rasi-sandhi'', the Moon though in a benefic sign is in an evil [[Navamsa (astrology)|navamsa]] and Jupiter combines with the lord of the ''lagna'', one serves others
:6) If Jupiter is in a ''trika-bhava'' in [[Capricorn (astrology)|Capricorn]] sign and the Moon occupies the 4th house, one serves others.
He states:

:पापात्मा कलहप्रियः कथिन्वाग् भुदेवतादूषको विद्याभाग्यविहीन दुष्टरसिको मात्सर्यकोपान्वितः |
:मिथ्यावादविनोदवञ्चनरतः शिश्नोदरे तत्परः कारुण्यास्थिरमाननभङ्गिचतुरो योगे परप्रेष्यके ||

:"The person born with ''preṣya yoga'' will be evil-minded, quarrelsome, harsh in speech, disrespectful, unfortunate, a favourite of evil persons, envious, evil-tempered, liar, deceiver, selfish, fraudulent and frequently insulted by others."<ref>{{cite book|title=Jatakaparijata (With translation and commentary by Gopesh Kumar Ojha)|author=Vaidyanatha|year=2008|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|pages=373–376|isbn=9788120822641|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=V2BoM8wCrq8C&q=Jataka+Parijata+Motilal+Banarsidass }}</ref>

==Significance==

Vaidyanatha Dikshita explains that there are ''yogas'' that indicate cancellation of ''[[Raja yoga (Hindu astrology)|Raja Yogas]]'', there are the ''Reka Yogas'' which are ''[[Daridra yogas (Hindu astrology)|Daridra Yogas]]'' when a person though wealthy leads a slovenly life, and there are the ''preṣya yogas'' whose presence makes one lead a lowly life throughout one's life-time as a menial or a slave ([[Jataka Parijata]] VI.1).<ref>{{cite book|title=Jatakaparijata (With translation and commentary by Gopesh Kumar Ojha)|author=Vaidyanatha|year=2008|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|page=343|isbn=9788120822641|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=V2BoM8wCrq8C&q=Jataka+Parijata+Motilal+Banarsidass }}</ref> The presence of these ''ashubha yogas'' along with other evil ''yogas'' produce very bad results; if occurring with ''Paisacha Yoga'' serious mental illness or derangement is bound to result.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Art of Prediction in Astrology|author=Gayatri Devi Vasudev|year=2008|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|page=39|isbn=9788120832299|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=HjGSHKl8fKwC&q=preshya+yoga&pg=PA39 }}</ref>
