An unpaid obligation carried forward - a debt in the karmic rather than the financial sense. Vedic tradition reads it mainly from the Rahu-Ketu axis: Ketu holds what is unfinished from before, Rahu points to the direction of growth now. It is a framework for reflection, not an accusation.
By which planet a node touches. A node with the Sun points to Pitru Rina and the father's line, with the Moon to Matru Rina and the mother, with Mars to siblings, Mercury to relatives and speech, Jupiter to teachers and dharma, Venus to spouse and partners, Saturn to service and the departed.
The tradition does not frame it that way, and neither should a reading. A debt describes an unfinished relationship or obligation, often inherited through a family line rather than personally incurred. Treating it as guilt misses the point entirely - the whole concept exists because it is considered workable.
Through giving and inner change rather than payment. Tarpan and ancestor rites for Pitru Rina, service and care for Matru and Sevak Rina, honest amends and generosity for the others. The classical remedies are inexpensive and practical; anyone charging heavily to clear a karmic debt should be treated with scepticism.
Pitru Rina is one of the debts read here, and the Pitra Dosha checker examines that one signature in far more detail, including the 9th house and its lord. Use this indicator for the overall map and that one when the ancestral line is the specific concern.
A karmic debt (Rina) is read as an unpaid thread from the past, mainly from Rahu and Ketu. Ketu shows unfinished business; Rahu shows where to grow. When a planet is conjunct or aspected by a node, that planet's topics carry a named rina: Sun Pitru, Moon Matru, Mars Bhratru, Mercury Jnati, Jupiter Deva or Guru, Venus Stri, Saturn Sevak or Preta.
The page shows the Ketu house (past) and Rahu house (growth), each active debt with its placement, and traditional clearing practices such as Tarpan, daan and service. Debts are treated as workable, not as a life sentence. Exact time and city keep the nodal houses right.
This is a natal-node reading, not numerology karmic numbers. Related pages are karmic debt relations, past life connections and purpose of life. For the natal chart use Kundli Maker.
