Third House in Vedic Astrology | What Does it Represent?

In the Kalpurus Kundali, the ruler of the 3rd house is Mercury, and Mars is the natural significator. The 3rd house is Upachaya House. It means that any planet occupying this house will mature over time. For example, if Mercury is sitting here, the native might be a fool in early-stage, but after mid-life, he becomes wise.
