1.1a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य राजयोगोऽपि लभ्यते । चतुर्थपञ्चमाधीश संबन्धेन न संशयः ॥ १ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya rājayogo'pi labhyate | caturthapañcamādhīśa saṃbandhena na saṃśayaḥ || 1 ||
For one born in Meṣa (Aries) lagna, a rājayoga too is obtained — through the saṃbandha (mutual relation) of the lords of the 4th and of the 5th; ⟨of this⟩ there is no doubt.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुर्थ"; alternatives "चतुर्थं" — At 30x the mark over थ is a hooked repha with an open white counter, NOT a solid anusvara dot; compare the unambiguous solid dot over स in संबन्धेन two words later. Read र्थ.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्च"; alternatives "पङ्च" — The half-nasal before च is a stemless bowl with a descending left hook; in this fount it is indistinguishable at 26x from ङ्. Sanskrit sandhi supports ञ् but the ink alone does not settle it.
1.2a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य धनसप्तमनायकः । शुक्रः करोति निधनमिति ज्योतिषकोविदुः ॥ २ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya dhanasaptamanāyakaḥ | śukraḥ karoti nidhanamiti jyotiṣakoviduḥ || 2 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, Śukra (Venus), being lord of the 2nd (dhana) and of the 7th, brings about death (nidhana) — so those versed in jyotiṣa declare.
What the printed page actually sets, here
The Sanskrit above is what our source reads — one encoded source, machine-parsed. This printed page sets it differently. Because only one source stands behind this verse, that difference has not been adjudicated: both readings are shown and neither has been weighed against the other.
मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य धनसप्तमनायकः । शुक्रः करोति निधनमिति ज्योतिषकाविदुः ॥ २ ॥
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "ज्योतिषकाविदुः"; alternatives "ज्योतिषका विदुः", "ज्योतिष्काविदुः" — Printed solid, no word space, at 16x: ज्यो-ति-ष-का-वि-दुः. As a single word it is not Sanskrit; the fount sets no space where sense wants one. Recorded as printed. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads ज्योतिषकोविदुः for ज्योतिषकाविदुः, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-08 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
- About this edition: This leaf sets ज्योतिषकाविदुः. I checked it on plate 15 at 4×: the क carries a plain ā-bar and no ो diagonal, so the printing really is का. That is not a word. The constituted reading is ज्योतिषकोविदुः — कोविद, 'one who knows' — and Chandrashekhar S. Sharma's Parimal edition prints ज्योतिषकोविदुः on its p. 2 with the transliteration jyotiṣakoviduḥ beneath it. The printing is kept in `diplomatic`.
1.3a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य भाग्यान्त्यस्थाननायकः । देवेन्द्रपूज्यो राज्यस्थ सभवेन्मारकः स्मृतः ॥ ३ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya bhāgyāntyasthānanāyakaḥ | devendrapūjyo rājyastha sabhavenmārakaḥ smṛtaḥ || 3 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) and of the 12th (antya) — ⟨Guru, who is⟩ worshipped by Devendra — when he stands in the 10th (rājya), is held to be a māraka (a killer).
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सभवेन्मारकः"; alternatives "स भवेन्मारकः", "संभवेन्मारकः" — Set SOLID at 10x, no word space after स and no anusvara over it. The commentary immediately below discusses ‘स भवेन्मारकः’ as a variant reading, so the printer's solid setting here is itself the evidence.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "राज्यस्थ"; alternatives "राज्यस्थः" — No visarga visible after the final थ at 10x.
1.4a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य राजयोगो न लभ्यते । भाग्यराज्येश संबंधमात्रेणहि न संशयः ॥ ४ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya rājayogo na labhyate | bhāgyarājyeśa saṃbaṃdhamātreṇahi na saṃśayaḥ || 4 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, a rājayoga is not obtained by the mere saṃbandha of the lords of the 9th (bhāgya) and the 10th (rājya); ⟨of this⟩ there is no doubt.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संबंधमात्रेणहि"; alternatives "संबंधमात्रेण हि", "सम्बन्धमात्रेणहि" — Two solid anusvara dots (over स and over ब) confirmed at 12x, and हि is set solid onto मात्रेण with no space.
1.5a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य स्फोट शस्त्रव्रणादिनम् । भयमस्ति च जगुः प्रायशो गणिकोत्तमाः ॥ ५ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya sphoṭa śastravraṇādinam | bhayamasti ca jaguḥ prāyaśo gaṇikottamāḥ || 5 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna there is fear of boils (sphoṭa), of wounds from weapons and the like — so, for the most part, have the foremost gaṇikās declared. [The plate reads gaṇikottamāḥ, 'the best of courtesans', where the sense wants gaṇakottamāḥ, 'the best of reckoners'; rendered as printed.]
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्फोट"; alternatives "स्फोट-" — Set as a separate word with clear space on both sides, though sense compounds it with what follows.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गणिकोत्तमाः"; alternatives "गणकोत्तमाः" — At 18x the second akshara carries an unmistakable i-matra hook: ग-णि-को-त्त-माः. गणिका is 'courtesan', which the context (जगुः, 'they have declared') does not want; but the ink reads णि, not ण. Recorded as printed.
1.6a reading here is contested षष्ठभाष्टमनाथेन युतो भूमिसुतो यदि । तद्दशान्तर्दशाकाले निधनम् मूर्धनि कृन्तनम् ॥ ६ ॥
ṣaṣṭhabhāṣṭamanāthena yuto bhūmisuto yadi | taddaśāntardaśākāle nidhanam mūrdhani kṛntanam || 6 ||
If Bhūmisuta (Mars) stands joined with the lord of the 6th and of the 8th, then in the time of his daśā and antardaśā ⟨there is⟩ death, and a cutting upon the head.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "षष्ठभाष्टमनाथेन"; alternatives "षष्टभाष्टमनाथेन" — At 16x the second akshara is ष्ठ (the ठ ring is closed and visible) and the fourth is ष्ट. The commentary at line 15 quotes its own lemma as षष्टभाष्टम with ष्ट in BOTH places and with नाथेन as a separate word: mula and commentary disagree on this page.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तद्दशान्तर्दशाकाले"; alternatives "तद्दशान्तर्दशाकाले", "तहशान्तर्दशाकाले" — The second element is a stacked द्द; at 14x the lower member is a full द, not a ह. The mark over the sixth akshara is a repha (open hook), giving र्द.
1.7a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य धनपो व्ययस्थोऽपि कविश्शुभः । इतरर्क्षे तु जातस्य व्ययस्थ धनपोऽशुभः ॥ ७ ॥
meṣe jātasya dhanapo vyayastho'pi kaviśśubhaḥ | itararkṣe tu jātasya vyayastha dhanapo'śubhaḥ || 7 ||
For one born in Meṣa, the lord of the 2nd (dhana) — Kavi (Śukra/Venus) — is auspicious even when placed in the 12th (vyaya). But for one born in another rāśi, the lord of the 2nd placed in the 12th is inauspicious.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कविश्शुभः"; alternatives "कविः शुभः", "कवि श्शुभः" — At 20x: क-वि-श्(half sha)-शु(with u hook)-भः. The doubled sibilant is really printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "व्ययस्थ"; alternatives "व्ययस्थो", "व्ययस्थः" — No final vowel or visarga after स्थ at 11x, unlike व्ययस्थोऽपि in the preceding line.
मेषे जातस्य भौमस्तु शुक्रेण सहितो यदि । योगदो भविता भूयो मारकोऽपि भवेदसौ ॥ ८ ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumastu śukreṇa sahito yadi | yogado bhavitā bhūyo mārako'pi bhavedasau || 8 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Bhauma (Mars) is joined with Śukra (Venus), he will be a giver of yoga; and further, that same graha will also be a māraka.
1.9a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य भौमस्तु गुरुशुक्रसमन्वितः । द्वितीये यदि विद्येत योगदो भवति ध्रुवम् ॥ ९ ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumastu guruśukrasamanvitaḥ | dvitīye yadi vidyeta yogado bhavati dhruvam || 9 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Bhauma (Mars), joined with Guru (Jupiter) and Śukra (Venus), be found in the 2nd, he is assuredly a giver of yoga.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विद्येत"; alternatives "विद्योत", "विद्यते" — At 18x the matra over the द्य ligature is a single diagonal े, not the ो pair; and the final akshara is त, not ते.
1.10a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य भौमस्तु गुरुशुक्रसमन्वितः । तृतीयस्थो यदि भवेन्नैव योगप्रदो भवेत् ॥ १० ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumastu guruśukrasamanvitaḥ | tṛtīyastho yadi bhavennaiva yogaprado bhavet || 10 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Bhauma (Mars), joined with Guru (Jupiter) and Śukra (Venus), stands in the 3rd, he will by no means be a giver of yoga.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "समन्वितः" — A short dark mark sits above the headline between क्र and स. At 24x it resolves as a break in the headline plus a speck, not as a vowel sign; no anusvara is present.
1.11a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य भौमस्तु गुरुणा च समन्वितः । चतुर्थस्थो यदि भवेद्योगदो भवति ध्रुवम् ॥ ११ ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumastu guruṇā ca samanvitaḥ | caturthastho yadi bhavedyogado bhavati dhruvam || 11 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Bhauma (Mars), joined with Guru (Jupiter), stands in the 4th, he is assuredly a giver of yoga.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुर्थस्थो"; alternatives "चतुर्थंस्थो" — At 5.5x the mark over थ reads as a dot; at 22x with contrast it is a single repha hook with an open white counter and no solid dot — the same trap as plate 14 line 4. Read र्थ, not र्थं.
1.12a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य हि कुजः पञ्चमस्थो भवेद्यदि । कुजदाये च संप्राप्ते योगदश्च भवेद्ध्रुवम् ॥ १२ ॥
meṣe jātasya hi kujaḥ pañcamastho bhavedyadi | kujadāye ca saṃprāpte yogadaśca bhaveddhruvam || 12 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Kuja (Mars) be placed in the 5th, then when Kuja's dāya (his daśā period) has arrived he is assuredly a giver of yoga.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्च"; alternatives "पङ्च" — Second instance of this ligature (cf. plate 14 line 4). At 18x the half-nasal shows a small internal loop inside the bowl, which favours ञ् over ङ्, but the two remain close in this fount.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेद्ध्रुवम्"; alternatives "भवेध्रुवम्", "भवेद् ध्रुवम्" — At 24x the cluster after भवे shows a subscript र diagonal, a stem and a u-hook (ध्रु) with a small element above-left that is probably the half-द. Whether a द् is really set could not be settled.
1.13a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य हि गुरुर्लाभस्थान स्थिवे भवेत् । गुरार्द्दशायाम् संप्राप्ताववयोगो भवेद्ध्रुवम् ॥ १३ ॥
meṣe jātasya hi gururlābhasthāna sthive bhavet | gurārddaśāyām saṃprāptāvavayogo bhaveddhruvam || 13 ||
For one born in Meṣa, let Guru (Jupiter) be situated in the place of gain, the 11th (lābha); when Guru's daśā has arrived, a yoga assuredly comes about. [The plate prints sthive for sthite, gurār- where the sense wants guroḥ, and saṃprāptāvavayogo, which is not Sanskrit as it stands: whether the second half says yoga or avayoga — its negation — cannot be settled from the printing.]
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्थिवे"; alternatives "स्थिते" — At 15x the third akshara is a plain व bowl with no त cross-stroke; the printed form is not a Sanskrit word. Recorded as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्लाभस्थान"; alternatives "गुरुर्लाभस्थानः", "गुरुर्लाभस्थाने" — No final vowel sign or visarga after the न at 15x; the word is set solid with a space before स्थिवे.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरार्द्दशायाम्"; alternatives "गुरोर्दशायाम्", "गुरार्दशायाम्" — At 26x with contrast the cluster is a repha over a STACKED द्द — the old printing habit of doubling a consonant after repha. The vowel on the second akshara is a plain ā vertical, not ो: the page really reads गुरा-, where sense wants गुरो-. No anusvara is present (the dot seen at 15x is the repha's hook).
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ताववयोगो"; alternatives "संप्राप्तौ व्ययोगो", "संप्राप्ताव् अवयोगो" — Set solid; at 15x there are two consecutive व bowls after प्ता, so the page reads -ववयोगो. Not a Sanskrit word as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेद्ध्रुवम्"; alternatives "भवेध्रुवम्" — Same undecided द्/ध्रु cluster as plate 20 line 3.
मेषे जातस्य षष्ठे तु बुधभौमौ स्थितौ यदि । तयोर्दशायां संप्राप्तौ व्रणस्फोटादि रोगदौ ॥ १४ ॥
meṣe jātasya ṣaṣṭhe tu budhabhaumau sthitau yadi | tayordaśāyāṃ saṃprāptau vraṇasphoṭādi rogadau || 14 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Budha (Mercury) and Bhauma (Mars) stand in the 6th, then when their daśā has arrived the two give diseases such as wounds (vraṇa) and boils (sphoṭa).
1 note on this verse
- About this edition: RULING 2026-09-08, on the ink, replacing the transcribing reader's note. The reader recorded "THREE marks over this cluster: the ो of यो, then a repha hook, then a separate solid anusvara dot" and transcribed तयोर्दंशायां. Re-read at 25x there are TWO marks, not three: the ो of यो, and one repha over the द whose right terminal thickens into a blob. The control is स्वार्जितं in the second line of 1.15 on this same plate — a repha over जि where no anusvara is possible — which at 20x has the identical two-lobed shape. The fount's real anusvara is a plain solid disc and one stands in this very word, on the final यां. The reader's own cross-reference is now explained too: plate 21 line 3 sets गुरार्द्दशायाम् with a stacked द्द and no dot, which is the same word set the same way. The mula now reads तयोर्दशायां; the ledger row is on this chapter.
1.15a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य भौमोऽपि सप्तमे संस्थितः कविः । स्वार्जितं भाग्यमाप्नोति किंचिद्धनमुदीरितम् ॥ १५ ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumo'pi saptame saṃsthitaḥ kaviḥ | svārjitaṃ bhāgyamāpnoti kiṃciddhanamudīritam || 15 ||
For one born in Meṣa, when Bhauma (Mars) too and Kavi (Śukra/Venus) stand together in the 7th, ⟨the native⟩ obtains fortune of his own earning; some wealth is declared ⟨for him⟩.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्वार्जितं"; alternatives "स्वार्ज्जितं" — At 22x with contrast the repha sits over a SINGLE ज with the i-matra — no doubling, unlike the द्द of plate 21 line 3. The doubling habit is therefore not applied consistently in this printing.
मेषे जातस्य भौमस्तु अष्टमस्थो न योगदः । रविशुक्रसमायुक्तः स्वल्पदश्च भविष्यति ॥ १६ ॥
meṣe jātasya bhaumastu aṣṭamastho na yogadaḥ | raviśukrasamāyuktaḥ svalpadaśca bhaviṣyati || 16 ||
For one born in Meṣa, Bhauma (Mars) placed in the 8th is no giver of yoga; and joined with Ravi (the Sun) and Śukra (Venus) he will give only a little.
भाग्यस्थौ रविभौमौ च गुरुशुक्रौ तथैव च । सप्तमस्थो यदि शनिः भौमो योगविशेषदः ॥ १७ ॥
bhāgyasthau ravibhaumau ca guruśukrau tathaiva ca | saptamastho yadi śaniḥ bhaumo yogaviśeṣadaḥ || 17 ||
⟨If⟩ Ravi (the Sun) and Bhauma (Mars) stand in the 9th (bhāgya), and Guru (Jupiter) and Śukra (Venus) likewise, and if Śani (Saturn) is in the 7th, then Bhauma is the giver of a particular yoga.
1.18a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य लग्ने रविभृगू यदि । गुरुणा वीक्षितौ नोचेत्छुक्रो योगप्रदो भवेत् ॥ १८ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya lagne ravibhṛgū yadi | guruṇā vīkṣitau nocetchukro yogaprado bhavet || 18 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, if Ravi (the Sun) and Bhṛgu (Śukra/Venus) are in the lagna and are not aspected by Guru (Jupiter), then Śukra becomes the giver of yoga.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नोचेत्छुक्रो"; alternatives "नोचेच्छुक्रो" — printed with त् + छ ligature, not the expected च्छ; recorded as printed.
1.19a reading here is contested गुरुणा वीक्षितश्शुक्रो योगदो न भवेद्ध्रुवम् । गुरुणा वीक्षितस्सूर्यो योगदो भवति ध्रुवम् ॥ १९ ॥
guruṇā vīkṣitaśśukro yogado na bhaveddhruvam | guruṇā vīkṣitassūryo yogado bhavati dhruvam || 19 ||
Śukra (Venus) aspected by Guru (Jupiter) is assuredly no giver of yoga; Sūrya (the Sun) aspected by Guru is assuredly a giver of yoga.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "१९"; alternatives "१६" — MEASURED at 13x, not inferred from the sequence. The numeral's ink bottom is 1757 against the adjacent १'s 1763, and its height 28 against 33 - it stops ~6px above the १'s foot. In this same mula fount a ६ reaches the १'s foot exactly (plate 23: १ and ६ both top 555, bottom 584). At a 1:1 render this sort reads as ६; the difference only resolves above ~8x.
1.20a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य रविसौम्य सितास्तथा । लाभस्था यदि तेषां च दशाभाग्यप्रदा स्मृता ॥ २० ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya ravisaumya sitāstathā | lābhasthā yadi teṣāṃ ca daśābhāgyapradā smṛtā || 20 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, if Ravi (the Sun), Saumya (Budha/Mercury) and Sita (Śukra/Venus) stand in the 11th (lābha), then the daśās of those grahas are held to be givers of fortune (bhāgya).
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविसौम्य"; alternatives "रविसौम्यौ", "रविसौम्यः" — printed with a bare य and no visarga or matra after it, followed by a wide letterspace; recorded as printed. Sense wants a dual/compound with सित, so the printing may be defective, but the ink shows no further sort.
1.21a reading here is contested मेषे जातस्य लग्नस्थो भानु कर्कटके यदि । चन्द्रो यदि भवेज्जातः राजयोगम् समश्नुते ॥ २१ ॥
meṣe jātasya lagnastho bhānu karkaṭake yadi | candro yadi bhavejjātaḥ rājayogam samaśnute || 21 ||
For one born in Meṣa, if Bhānu (the Sun) stands in the lagna and Candra (the Moon) is in Karkaṭaka (Cancer), the native attains rājayoga.
2 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कर्कटके"; alternatives "कर्कंटके" — RESOLVED AT 30x. At 15x this reads as repha PLUS an anusvara dot; at 30x there is only ONE mark above the headline - a repha whose tail curls down and back, and that descending terminal is what reads as a separate dot at lower magnification. No anusvara is inked.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भानु"; alternatives "भानुः" — no visarga inked after भानु at 5x.
1.22a reading here is contested मेषलग्ने तु जातस्य शुक्रेज्यार्यम्णो यदि । राज्यस्थास्तद्दशाकाले गंगास्नानम् भविष्यति ॥ २२ ॥
meṣalagne tu jātasya śukrejyāryamṇo yadi | rājyasthāstaddaśākāle gaṃgāsnānam bhaviṣyati || 22 ||
For one born in Meṣa lagna, if Śukra (Venus), Ijya (Guru/Jupiter) and Aryaman (the Sun) stand in the 10th (rājya), then in the time of their daśā a bath in the Gaṅgā will come about.
1 note on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गंगास्नानम्"; alternatives "गगास्नानम्" — CHECKED AT 22x. At 4x the first ग appears bare and the word reads गगा-; at 22x a solid round anusvara is plainly inked above it. The renderer, not the printer, was dropping the mark - exactly the failure the brief warns of.
1.23a reading here is contested वृषभजातस्य च शनिः भाग्यकर्मेश्चरोऽपि वा । सूर्यसोमसुताभ्याम् वा न युक्तौ नैव योगदः ॥ १ ॥
vṛṣabhajātasya ca śaniḥ bhāgyakarmeścaro'pi vā | sūryasomasutābhyām vā na yuktau naiva yogadaḥ || 1 ||
And for one born in Vṛṣabha (Taurus), Śani (Saturn), who is lord of the 9th (bhāgya) and of the 10th (karma), is by no means a giver of yoga if he is not joined with Sūrya (the Sun) and Somasuta (Budha/Mercury). [The plate prints bhāgyakarmeścaro, where the sense wants bhāgyakarmeśvaraḥ, and the dual na yuktau, 'the two not joined', though only one graha has been named; rendered as it stands.]
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥ १ ॥" — NOT a misprint and NOT to be renumbered: the verse number RESTARTS AT १ here because the Taurus chapter begins at the heading on line 19. The preceding verse on this same plate is २२ of the Aries chapter. Any tool that keys verses by number alone will collide these two - the documented hazard on this book.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “वृषभ लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

For one born in the rāśi of Vṛṣabha as well, if Rāhu stands in the 10th (rājya), or if Guru (Jupiter) and Bhauma (Mars) are in Makara (Capricorn), he attains a bath in the Gaṅgā.
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "वृषभर्क्षेऽपि"; alternatives "वृषभक्षेंऽपि", "वृषभक्षेऽपि" — at 30x the mark over क्ष resolves into TWO elements: a left slanting stroke (े) and a right hooked stroke with an open white counter (repha र्). No solid dot, so no anusvara. Read र्क्षे.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "राज्येराहुर्यदि"; alternatives "राज्ये राहुर्यदि" — printed solid with no word space between राज्ये, राहुर् and यदि, unlike the spaced words either side of it; the mark over य is the hooked repha, not an anusvara (checked at 22x)
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुभौमौ"; alternatives "गुरुभोमो" — both matras are the doubled form (ौ) — compared at 13x against a plain े elsewhere in the line, which is a single stroke
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्नानम् समश्नुते"; alternatives "स्नानं समश्नुते" — printed with a full म् carrying a visible virama, not an anusvara; the sandhi is left unmade on the page
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “वृषभ लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

For one born in Vṛṣabha, if Candramas (the Moon) is in the 4th, and is aspected by Guru (Jupiter) and by Budha (Mercury) as well, he is a giver of yoga.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुर्थे"; alternatives "चतुथें" — mark over थ is repha + e-matra, the same compound as at line 9; no anusvara
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥३॥"; alternatives "॥ ३ ॥" — set tight here, whereas verse 2 at line 10 sets the same closing with clear spaces (॥ २ ॥)
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “वृषभ लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

For one born in Vṛṣabha, Kuja (Mars) going to the 7th is auspicious. ⟨When⟩ Bhānu (the Sun) and the lord of the 9th (bhāgya) stand in the 11th (lābha), ⟨the native⟩ is ever long-lived and possessed of yoga.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुजस्सप्तमगश्शुभः"; alternatives "कुजः सप्तमगः शुभः", "कुजस्सप्तमगश्शुभः" — at 13x the doubled sibilants are genuine ligatures: a half-स joined to a full स, and a half-श joined to श with the u below. Printed solid, no word spaces inside.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दीर्घायुर्योगवान्"; alternatives "दीर्घायुर्योंगवान्" — checked at 30x: over य sit a slanting stroke (the o-matra) and a hook with an open white counter (repha). No solid dot, so no anusvara.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भानुभाग्येशौ"; alternatives "भानुभाग्येशो" — final matra is the doubled ौ

vṛṣabhalagne tu jātasya gurossomasutasya ca | saṃbandho vīkṣaṇam vā'pi vidyate dhanayogadaḥ || 5 ||
For one born in Vṛṣabha lagna, if there is a saṃbandha (mutual relation) between Guru (Jupiter) and Somasuta (Budha/Mercury), or even a mutual aspect only, ⟨that⟩ is a giver of dhanayoga — a yoga of wealth.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोस्सोमसुतस्य"; alternatives "गुरोः सोमसुतस्य" — printed with a genuine स्स ligature, not visarga + स
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संबन्धो"; alternatives "सम्बन्धो" — AS PRINTED: solid anusvara dot over स, then बन्धो. The commentary on this same plate (lines 19 and 23) spells the word सम्बन्ध / सहसम्बन्धो with the full म् conjunct. Both forms are on this leaf.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "वीक्षणम् वाऽपि"; alternatives "वीक्षणं वापि" — म् carries a visible virama and the avagraha ऽ is clearly set; sandhi left unmade

vṛṣabhe jāyamānasya gurossomasutasya ca | kujena sahasambandho vīkṣito vā bhavedyadi | viśeṣa dhana saṃprāptim na prāpnoti na saṃśayaḥ || 6 ||
For one born in Vṛṣabha, if Guru (Jupiter) and Somasuta (Budha/Mercury) come into saṃbandha with Kuja (Mars), or are aspected ⟨by him⟩, then ⟨the native⟩ does not obtain any special acquisition of wealth; ⟨of this⟩ there is no doubt.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेद्यदि"; alternatives "भवेद् यदि" — printed solid with the द्य conjunct across the word join
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्तिम्"; alternatives "संप्राप्तिं", "सम्प्राप्तिम्" — the virama stroke under म sits at y=1816-1820 and the digitiser's CC-0 overlay does not begin until y=1821 — measured, so the mark is printed ink and not part of the overlay. But it stands within 1px of the overlay band, so a deeper mark (if any) could be hidden.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विशेष"; alternatives "विशेषं" — no anusvara over ष; the accusative is left unmarked as printed

For one born in Vṛṣabha, if Guru (Jupiter), Saumya (Budha/Mercury) and Kuja (Mars) are joined with one another, then Saumya's dāya (Mercury's daśā) gives ṛṇayoga — a yoga of debt.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुस्सौम्यकुजा"; alternatives "गुरुस्सोम्यकुजा", "गुरुः सौम्यकुजा" — checked at 16x: a genuine स्स ligature, and the matra above it is the doubled ौ (two strokes plus the ा), not the single-stroke ो

But Bhauma's dāya (Mars's daśā) is a giver of wealth, while Guru's dāya gives mixed ⟨fruit⟩; and the dāya of Saumya (Budha/Mercury), when he stands in a kendra (an angle), is held to be a giver of yoga.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मिश्रदः"; alternatives "मिश्रदः ।" — NO danda closes this line. Every other first line of a verse on plates 27-30 ends with a single danda; here the space after the visarga is blank to the end of the measure.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोर्दायस्तु"; alternatives "गुरोर्दायस्तु" — hooked repha over दा, not an anusvara
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दायोर्योगप्रदस्स्मृतः"; alternatives "दायो योगप्रदः स्मृतः", "दायोर्योगप्रदः स्मृतः" — at 16x: over य a slant plus a hooked repha (so र्यो); and before मृ a cluster of TWO half-sibilants, giving स्स्मृ. Printed solid as one word.

If Budha (Mercury) and Śukra (Venus) stand in the lagna and Guru (Jupiter) is in the 7th, then Budha's dāya (Mercury's daśā) is the giver of a powerful yoga to one born in Vṛṣa (Taurus).
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुर्यदिः"; alternatives "गुर्यदि", "गुरुर्यदि", "गुर्यंदिः" — at 14x: गु, then य carrying a hooked repha (open counter, so र्य and NOT an anusvara), then दि, then a clear two-dot visarga, then the danda. The visarga on यदि is anomalous and the pada then counts one syllable short of the other three, but that is what the ink shows.

If Kuja (Mars) and Śukra (Venus) stand in the lagna and Guru (Jupiter) is in Makara (Capricorn), then in the time of the daśās of Guru and Saumya (Budha/Mercury) there is fortune (bhāgya) for one born in Vṛṣa (Taurus).
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुर्यदि"; alternatives "गुर्यदिः", "गुरुर्यदि" — NO visarga here — compare plate 31 line 19, which prints the identical cadence गुर्यदिः WITH one. The two readings differ on the leaf itself. Mark over य is the hooked repha in both.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्यंस्याद्"; alternatives "भाग्यं स्याद्", "भाग्यमस्याद्" — at 15x a solid round anusvara stands over ग्य (clearly the round dot, not the hooked repha), and the word is set solid with स्याद्, whose द् carries a visible virama

If Manda (Śani/Saturn), Saumya (Budha/Mercury) and Kuja (Mars) stand in the 9th (bhāgya), and Rāhu has gone to Kumbha (Aquarius), then the daśās of Kuja and Rāhu give a bath in the Gaṅgā to one born in Vṛṣa (Taurus).

If Candra (the Moon) and Śukra (Venus) stand in the 6th, and Saumya (Budha/Mercury) and Guru (Jupiter) in the 11th (lābha), then when Guru's dāya has arrived a dhanayoga — a yoga of wealth — is declared.
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "यदि।"; alternatives "यदि ।" — the danda is set hard against यदि with no space, unlike every other verse-line on plates 27-33
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सौम्यगुरु"; alternatives "सौम्यगुरू", "सौम्यगुरौ" — final vowel is a short u-hook; the dual सौम्यगुरू that the sense wants is not what is set
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ते"; alternatives "सम्प्राप्ते" — anusvara, not the म् conjunct
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनयोग"; alternatives "धनयोगः", "धनयोग उदीरितः" — no visarga before उदीरितः; the sandhi is left made on the page

When Śukra's dāya (Venus's daśā) has arrived, one should declare abundance of wealth. He obtains the yoga of fortune (bhāgyayoga) — one born in Vṛṣa (Taurus); there is no doubt.
What the printed page actually sets, here
The Sanskrit above is what our source reads — one encoded source, machine-parsed. This printed page sets it differently. Because only one source stands behind this verse, that difference has not been adjudicated: both readings are shown and neither has been weighed against the other.
शुक्रस्यदाये संप्राप्ते धनप्राबल्यमादिशेत्। भाग्ययोगं सनाप्नोति वृषजन्म न संशयः ॥ १३ ॥
9 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शुक्रस्यदाये"; alternatives "शुक्रस्य दाये" — set solid, no word space
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "आदिशेत्।"; alternatives "आदिशेत् ।" — danda set hard against the virama with no space
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ते"; alternatives "सम्प्राप्ते" — solid round anusvara over स
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सनाप्नोति"; alternatives "समाप्नोति", "स आप्नोति" — AS PRINTED the second akshara is न (two-legged, left leg descending free), not म — at 6.5x there is no closed bowl. The sense wants समाप्नोति; the ink says सनाप्नोति. Flagged, not emended.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "वृषजन्म"; alternatives "वृषजन्मन", "वृषजन्मा" — no visarga and no final matra
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्ययोगं"; alternatives "भाग्ययोग" — solid round anusvara over गं

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 13 within its own section; it is published at position 35 of the chapter.
- About this edition: This leaf sets सनाप्नोति. Plate 34 at 13x. The disputed akṣara is a न, not a म: it matches the न of जन्म and the standalone न later in the same line and does not have the म's closed left bowl. So the leaf really does set सनाप्नोति. That is not a word, so the constituted reading समाप्नोति stands in `mula` and the printing is kept in `diplomatic`, per research/translations/TRANSLATION-SCHEMA.md.

One born in another rāśi becomes assuredly fortunate. [The line ends bare — no daṇḍa and no verse number follow it — and the plate prints jāyamāto for jāyamāno.]
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जायमातो"; alternatives "जायमानो" — RECORDED AS PRINTED, and it is a non-word. Checked at 13x against a known न (from भाग्यवान् on this same line) and a known त (from भवति on this same line): the known न carries a short horizontal foot at its lower left which this sort does NOT have, while the known त shows the same smooth curved sweep this sort has. So the printed sort is त. Sense requires जायमानो. Flagged, not corrected.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "[no closing danda, no verse number]" — The line ends bare after ध्रुवम् - verified at 13x that nothing follows. No danda and no numeral.

⟨If⟩ Ravi (the Sun) and Budha (Mercury) stand in the 3rd, then on the coming of Budha's dāya, Budha is truly a giver of yoga and a giver of fortune (bhāgya) to one born in Yugma (Gemini).
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बुधदाय"; alternatives "बुधदाये", "बुधदा य" — printed thus with wide letterspacing on either side; recorded as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥१।"; alternatives "॥ १ ॥" — RECORDED EXACTLY AS PRINTED and verified at 7x: the marker OPENS with two strokes and CLOSES WITH ONE. It is also set tight, with no spaces around the digit. Every other verse marker on my twelve plates closes with two strokes. A parser requiring a symmetric '॥ n ॥' will silently drop this verse - the failure mode the brief's stray-mark rule names.

If the grahas (kheṭas) Bhṛgu (Śukra/Venus), Bhauma (Mars) and Indu (the Moon) stand in the house of wealth, the 2nd (dhana), then in Śukra's dāya one born in Yugma (Gemini) attains acquisition of wealth.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनप्राप्तिं"; alternatives "धनप्राप्ति" — RESOLVED AT 28x, having been wrong at lower power. At 4x the syllable looks bare. At 13x two marks are visible above the headline but unresolvable. At 28x they separate cleanly into (a) the rising hook of the ि matra of प्ति and (b) a solid round ANUSVARA dot to its right. Reading धनप्राप्तिं. Corroborated by grammar, independently of the ink: धनप्राप्तिं is the accusative object of समश्नुते.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥ ३, ४ ॥" — READ AT 9x AND RECORDED EXACTLY AS PRINTED, COMMA INCLUDED. This is a COMBINED verse number covering the whole four-line block above (lines 12-15), not a verse numbered '3' followed by something. The comma is inked between the two digits. ३ and ४ are both distinct sorts here, neither being the epsilon-bodied ६/९ pair. A parser expecting one number per two lines, or expecting digits without punctuation inside the marker, will mis-slice this block.

6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "किञ्चिच्चद्धनयुतो"; alternatives "किञ्चिद्धनयुतो" — RECORDED AS PRINTED. At 12x the sorts read कि + ञ्चि + च्च + द्ध + न + यु + तो, i.e. a doubled च्च cluster that the expected sandhi (किञ्चिद् + धन) does not account for. Flagged, not corrected. [2026-09-20: the mūla now reads किञ्चिद्धनयुतो for किञ्चिच्चद्धनयुतो, corrected in the mūla verification of 2026-09-08 (see the revisions row of that pass on this verse); this note describes the earlier text.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥ ५, ६ ॥"; alternatives "॥ ५, ९ ॥" — MEASURED at 13x, not inferred. The second digit's ink bottom is 665 against the neighbouring ५'s 663 and the two closing danda strokes' 660 and 659, and its height is 30 against the ५'s 28 - it descends BELOW every neighbour on the line, which is this fount's ६. Plate 24's ९, by the same test, stopped 6px ABOVE its neighbour. Comma inked between the digits and kept.

- About this edition: This leaf sets किञ्चिच्चद्धनयुतो. Plate 39 at 11x. Seven akṣara clusters are set where the word needs six: कि, ञ्चि, च्च, द्ध, न, यु, तो. The च्च is a dittography of the च already inside ञ्चि. That is not a word, so the constituted reading किञ्चिद्धनयुतो stands in `mula` and the printing is kept in `diplomatic`, per research/translations/TRANSLATION-SCHEMA.md.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विशेष"; alternatives "विशेषः" — at 10x the mark on श is a bare up-right stroke with NO following vertical, i.e. े not ो; compared against विशेष in the Hindi lines 6 and 14 of this same plate, which are identical. No visarga and a full word space before धनयोगदः.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्यस्थो"; alternatives "भाग्यस्थौ" — single hook, not the double of कुजचन्द्रौ / लाभगौ on line 3 — so ो, agreeing with singular मन्दो.

For one born in Yugma (Gemini), ⟨if⟩ Guru (Jupiter) and Manda (Śani/Saturn) stand in the 9th (bhāgya), then in the time of their daśā a bath in the Gaṅgā comes about; ⟨this is⟩ certain.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तयोर्दशा"; alternatives "तयोर्दशा।" — repha on द verified in a dedicated 12.4x crop: a hook rising from the headline with an OPEN white counter, curving right — not the solid dot of an anusvara. (Above ~12x this 256-ppi scan yields only blur, so 12x is the real ceiling, not 30x.)
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गंगायांस्नानं"; alternatives "गंगायां स्नानं" — printed solid, with no word space between गंगायां and स्नानं; both anusvaras are solid dots.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवति" — भवति stands TWICE in this one line (काले भवति ... भवति निश्चयः). Verified at 3.7x across the whole line in a single crop, so it is not a stitching artefact of my banded reading. Metrically suspect; recorded as printed.

mithune jāyamānasya budho lābhasthito yadi | jyeṣṭhabhrātṛ virodhastu jātakasya bhavedhruvam || 10 ||
For one born in Mithuna (Gemini), if Budha (Mercury) stands in the 11th (lābha), then conflict with the elder brother assuredly befalls the native.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेध्रुवम्"; alternatives "भवेद्ध्रुवम्" — at 9x the akshara after भवे is a SINGLE-storey letter the same height as the व beside it, with the left bowl and right vertical of ध, carrying ्र + ु below. A द्ध ligature would be two-storey and taller. So the printed form lacks the द्; sense/sandhi wants भवेद् ध्रुवम्. Recorded as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "ज्येष्ठभ्रातृ"; alternatives "ज्येष्ठभ्रातु:", "ज्येष्ठभ्रातुर्" — final akshara carries a subscript ृ (vocalic r), read at 3.2x; no visarga follows. Stem-final ृ before विरोधस्तु is grammatically odd but is what the page sets.

And for one born in Karki (Cancer), Guru (Jupiter) is not especially a giver of yoga. For one born in Makara (Capricorn), Budha (Mercury) becomes a giver of yoga.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कर्किजातस्य"; alternatives "कर्कीजातस्य" — repha over the क confirmed at 3.5x (open-countered hook, not a dot); the following vowel is the short ि that precedes its consonant.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “कर्क लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

karkaṭe jāyamānasya bhauṃmo yogaprado bhavet | pañcame vātharājyevā yogado bhavati dhruvam || 2 ||
For one born in Karkaṭa (Cancer), Bhauma (Mars) becomes a giver of yoga; whether in the 5th or else in the 10th (rājya), he is assuredly a giver of yoga.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भौंमो"; alternatives "भौमो", "भौ°मो" — at 12x with contrast stretched, the mark between भौ and मो is a small RING with an open white centre, floating clear above the headline in the inter-letter gap. It is NOT the solid dot this fount uses for anusvara, and NOT the crescent-plus-dot it uses for candrabindu (calibrated at plate 40 line 23). Most likely an anusvara whose ink centre dropped out, but I cannot settle it; the expected word is भौमो with no nasal at all. REFUSING to normalise it.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "वाथराज्येवा"; alternatives "वाथ राज्ये वा", "वा अथ राज्ये वा" — set SOLID as one word at 3.5x — no word spaces anywhere inside it, though the metre wants वा + अथ राज्ये वा. Recorded as printed.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “कर्क लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

karkijātasya śukrastu vyayastho dhanago'pi vā | yogapradastu bhavatihyanyatra nahi yogadaḥ || 3 ||
For one born in Karki (Cancer), Śukra (Venus) placed in the 12th (vyaya), or else gone to the 2nd (dhana), is indeed a giver of yoga; elsewhere he is no giver of yoga at all.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनगोऽपि"; alternatives "धनगोपि" — avagraha ऽ present and clearly on the baseline at 2.3x, distinct from a danda.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवतिह्यन्यत्र"; alternatives "भवतीह्यन्यत्र", "भवति ह्यन्यत्र" — verified at 4.7x: ति carries the SHORT ि, and the ह्य conjunct has no following ा — so भवति + ह्यन्यत्र set solid, not भवतीह्यन्यत्र. No word space in the printed form.

karkijātasya bhaumejya candrāśca dhanago yadi | raviśukrau pañcamasthau dhanavān bhāgyavān bhavet || 4 ||
For one born in Karki (Cancer), if Bhauma (Mars), Ijya (Guru/Jupiter) and Candra (the Moon) go to the 2nd (dhana), and Ravi (the Sun) and Śukra (Venus) stand in the 5th, ⟨the native⟩ becomes wealthy and fortunate.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भौमेज्य"; alternatives "भौमेज्यौ", "भौमेज्यश्च" — no nasal mark over भौ here, unlike भौंमो at plate 42 line 9 — which supports reading that one as an accident of inking rather than a deliberate spelling.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्चमस्थौ"; alternatives "पंचमस्थौ" — set with the ञ्च conjunct here, while line 14 of this same plate sets the same word पंचमस्थौ with a plain anusvara. The edition is inconsistent INSIDE the mula, not only in the Hindi.

⟨If⟩ Budha (Mercury) and Śukra (Venus) stand in the 5th, then on the coming of Budha's dāya, for one born in Karki (Cancer) Budha is assuredly a giver of yoga.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बुधदाये"; alternatives "बुधदाय", "बुधदशाये" — read at 3.9x as बु-ध-दा-ये; the sense wanted is बुध-दाये (in Mercury's daśā) and the printed form supports it.

For one born in Karki (Cancer), ⟨if⟩ Saumya (Budha/Mercury), Śukra (Venus) and Indu (the Moon) stand in the 11th (lābha), and Guru (Jupiter) is set in the lagna, and Ravi (the Sun) is placed in the house of rule, the 10th (rājya) —
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सौम्यशुक्रेन्दवस्थिताः"; alternatives "सौम्यशुक्रेन्दवः स्थिताः" — set solid with no internal word space; final visarga clear at 2.3x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥"; alternatives "॥ ६ ॥" — the closing double danda carries NO verse number on this plate — the page ends here and the number, if any, must be looked for at the head of plate 44. Not supplied.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “कर्क लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

rājā bhavetsāhasikaḥ guṇavān kīrtivān bhavet | bṛhajjātakayogoyaṃ mahārājika saṃjñikaḥ || 6, 7 ||
— ⟨he⟩ becomes a king, bold in enterprise, endowed with good qualities and of great renown. This yoga is ⟨that⟩ of the Bṛhajjātaka, and it bears the name mahārājika.
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेत्साहसिकः"; alternatives "भवेत् साहसिकः" — set solid, no word space; visarga clear.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥ ६, ७ ॥" — a COMBINED verse number with a comma between the two numerals — this 4-line block (2 lines at the foot of plate 43 + these 2) is numbered as verses 6 and 7 together. It also resolves plate 43 line 23, whose ॥ carried no number.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बृहज्जातकयोगोयं"; alternatives "बृहज्जातकयोगोऽयं" — no avagraha printed between योगो and यं, though sandhi wants one; compare धनगोऽपि at plate 42 line 16 where the avagraha IS set.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “कर्क लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

- About this edition: The plate gives this śloka and its neighbour ONE combined numeral, ॥ 6, 7 ॥. They are published separately; the combined mark is the page's, not ours.
- Corroboration: बृहज्जातक is read as an ATTRIBUTION here and at 1.130 and 8.8 — a yoga taught in the Bṛhat Jātaka, not a yoga named “Bṛhajjātaka”. This verse is the strongest support: महाराजिक संज्ञिकः already fills the name-slot. See the note at 1.130 for the full ruling and its recorded negative.
1.55a reading here is contested रविभौमौ तु राज्यस्थौ धनवान् कर्किजातकः । कर्किजातस्य च गुरोर्दशाकालस्तु मारकः ॥ ८ ॥

⟨If⟩ Ravi (the Sun) and Bhauma (Mars) stand in the 10th (rājya), the native born in Karki (Cancer) is wealthy. And for one born in Karki, the period of Guru's daśā is a māraka.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोर्दशाकालस्तु"; alternatives "गुरोर्दशाकालस्तु", "गुरोर् दशाकालस्तु" — repha over the द confirmed at 2.3x as an open hook; set solid with no word space.

3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ते"; alternatives "सम्प्राप्ते" — anusvara, not the म् conjunct — clear at 2.3x. The edition mixes the two conventions inside the mula (cf. पञ्चमस्थौ vs पंचमस्थौ at plate 43).

4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्यवान्कीर्तिमान्भवेत्"; alternatives "भाग्यवान् कीर्तिमान् भवेत्" — set SOLID as one word with the two halants internal and no word spaces — unlike plate 44 line 1, which sets गुणवान् कीर्तिवान् भवेत् with spaces. Recorded as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "प्रोक्तः"; alternatives "प्रोक्तो" — visarga clear at 2.3x; प्रोक्तः before भाग्यवान् leaves the sandhi unresolved, as printed.

For one born in Karkaṭa (Cancer), if Candra (the Moon) stands in the lagna and Bhauma (Mars) be in Makara (Capricorn), a rājayoga is declared.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चन्द्रो लग्ने स्थितो"; alternatives "चन्द्रोलग्नेस्थितो" — verified in ONE full-width crop of the whole line (not stitched from half-page bands), to rule out a duplicated syllable across the band overlap. Three separate words with clear spaces.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेत्भौमः"; alternatives "भवेद्भौमः" — at 8.7x the letter between भवे and भौ is a small low-set त carrying a virama stroke — त्, not द्. The same त् appears in भवेत्साहसिकः at plate 44 line 1. Sandhi would want भवेद्भौमः; recorded as printed.

For one born in Karkaṭa (Cancer), if Candra (the Moon) stands in the lagna and Manda (Śani/Saturn) is in Tulā (Libra), a rājayoga is declared.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "लग्ने चन्द्रस्थितो"; alternatives "लग्ने च चन्द्रस्थितो" — IMPORTANT: reading the half-page bands separately produced a spurious extra च here, because चन्द्र- straddles the overlap. A single full-width crop of the line shows लग्ने followed directly by चन्द्रस्थितो, with no च. Every mula line on this plate was re-checked this way.

karkijātasya lagnasthau ravisaumyau tu saukhyagaḥ | kavirllābhe candrabhaumaguravaḥ saṃsthitā yadi ||
For one born in Karka (Cancer), the Sun and Mercury (saumya) ⟨stand⟩ in the lagna, and ⟨one⟩ is placed in the 4th (saukhya); if Venus (kavi) ⟨is⟩ in the 11th (lābha) and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter are stationed ⟨there⟩ — ⟨the result follows in the next verse⟩. ⟨saukhyagaḥ is printed in the singular and names no planet; and kavillābhe, Venus-in-the-11th, is set on the plate as kavillarbhe with an extra repha.⟩
What the printed page actually sets, here
The Sanskrit above is what our source reads — one encoded source, machine-parsed. This printed page sets it differently. Because only one source stands behind this verse, that difference has not been adjudicated: both readings are shown and neither has been weighed against the other.
कर्किजातस्य लग्नस्थौ रविसौम्यौ तु सौख्यगः । कविल्लर्भे चन्द्रभौमगुरवः संस्थिता यदि ॥
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कविल्लर्भे"; alternatives "कविल्लाभे", "कविलाभे" — at 5.8x: क + वि + a ल्ल double-l ligature + भे carrying a REPHA above it. There is no ā-matra after the ल्ल. The word the sense wants is कविल्लाभे (Venus in the 11th). REFUSING to correct it — this is what the plate sets, and the extra repha is a real feature of this printing.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥"; alternatives "॥ १४ ॥" — unnumbered double danda mid-block; the number for both verses comes at the end of line 6.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “कर्क लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.
- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 14 within its own section; it is published at position 61 of the chapter.
- About this edition: The plate gives this śloka and its neighbour ONE combined numeral, ॥ 14, 15 ॥. They are published separately; the combined mark is the page's, not ours.
- About this edition: This leaf sets कविल्लर्भे. Plate 48 at 15x. The repha sits over the भे and the ल्ल carries no ā-bar, so the leaf sets कविल्लर्भे. That is not a word, so the constituted reading कविर्ल्लाभे stands in `mula` and the printing is kept in `diplomatic`, per research/translations/TRANSLATION-SCHEMA.md.

But when the Sun's dāya (his allotted daśā) has arrived, ⟨the native⟩ meets with a yoga of poverty (nirdhana); whereas in the daśā-time of the others ⟨named above⟩ they are indeed givers of the yoga.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "त"; alternatives "तु" — a bare त with NO ु, standing alone between word spaces, verified in a full-width crop of the whole line at 1.7x. Every other occurrence of this particle in the plate's mula is तु. Recorded as printed. [2026-09-23: Confirmed by eye on the plate at about 4.1x native (br-1977-bhasin-ranjan.pdf page 48, embedded native nat/p48-000.jpg, printed line 5). The press sets a bare त. The paper where a ु would fall carries no ink at all (minimum grey 203, zero pixels below 200), against minimum grey 1 for the ु of the तु on line 3 of the same plate. The missing ु is the compositor's slip, not ours. The correction to तु is withdrawn, and the mūla keeps त.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads तु on the lexicon; the press sets a bare त, read by eye on the plate at about 4.1x, and machine reads of this press's formula गुरुर्दाये तु संप्राप्ते at 1.106 and कुजदाये तु संप्राप्ते at 11.16 and 12.15 carry तु.]

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिराहू"; alternatives "शनिराहु" — long ू on the final akshara, clear at 1.7x — a dual, against the short ु of राहुदाये later in the same line.

For one born in Siṃha (Leo) lagna, if the Sun and Mercury (soma-suta, 'the Moon's son') should be joined with one another, ⟨then⟩ scanty fortune (bhāgya) is declared.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविसोमसुता"; alternatives "रविसोमसुताः" — सोमसुत = Mercury (son of the Moon); no visarga printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "अन्योन्य"; alternatives "अन्योन्यं" — no anusvara over the final य; verified in a full-width crop at 1.7x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्वल्प भाग्यमुदीरितम्"; alternatives "स्वल्पभाग्यमुदीरितम्" — a full word space stands inside what the sense makes one compound. Recorded as printed.

1.67a reading here is contested सिंहलग्ने तु जातस्य गुरुशुक्रौ न योगदौ । योगभंगकरौ किंतुर्विदुर्ज्योतिषकोत्तमाः ॥ ४ ॥
siṃhalagne tu jātasya guruśukrau na yogadau | yogabhaṃgakarau kiṃturvidurjyotiṣakottamāḥ || 4 ||
For one born in Siṃha (Leo) lagna, Jupiter and Venus are not givers of yoga; rather they are breakers of yoga — so the best of astrologers (jyotiṣaka) know. ⟨The plate sets kiṃturvidur- with two rephas; the sense wants kiṃtu viduḥ, 'but they know'.⟩
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "किंतुर्विदुर्ज्योतिषकोत्तमाः"; alternatives "किंतु विदुर्ज्योतिषकोत्तमाः", "किंतुर्विदुर्ज्योतिष्कोत्तमाः" — at 7.7x I count TWO repha hooks in this word: one over the तु/वि junction and one over the दु/ज्यो junction. The second is certainly the र् of विदुर्+ज्योतिष. The first gives किंतुर्वि-, which is not a word; the sense wants किंतु विदुर्. I cannot settle whose consonant the first hook belongs to at this scan's resolution, so I record BOTH hooks as printed and refuse to normalise. Also note ष and को are separate — no ष्क ligature.

siṃhalagne tujātasya tṛtīyastho bhṛguśśubhaḥ | rājyasthaḥ śukrapāpasyānnayogaṃ labhate naraḥ || 5 ||
For one born in Siṃha (Leo) lagna, Venus (Bhṛgu) standing in the 3rd is auspicious. ⟨With Venus⟩ in the 10th (rājya) — the plate reads śukrapāpasya, 'of Venus the malefic' — the man obtains an anna-yoga, a yoga of food. ⟨The second half is loosely set: rājyasthaḥ stands in the nominative against a genitive śukrapāpasya, and no reading joins the two cleanly.⟩
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तुजातस्य"; alternatives "तु जातस्य" — set solid, no word space — unlike सिंहलग्ने तु जातस्य at plate 50 lines 1, 9 and 20, which space the तु. Verified in a full-width crop at 1.65x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भृगुश्शुभः"; alternatives "भृगुः शुभः", "भृगुश्शुभः" — a श्श double-śa ligature, i.e. the visarga of भृगुः assimilated before शुभः and set solid.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शुक्रपापस्यान्नयोगं"; alternatives "शुक्रपापस्य अन्नयोगं", "शुक्रपापस्यान्ययोगं" — set solid. The medial conjunct reads न्न (double na) at 1.65x, giving -स्यान्नयोगं; a reader expecting -स्यान्ययोगं (न्य) should note that the second member has न's full form, not य's. Not re-checked above 4x.

For one born in Siṃha (Leo) lagna, ⟨if⟩ the Sun, Mercury (saumya) and Mars are situated in the lagna, the time of Mercury's daśā is a giver of much wealth and fortune (bhāgya).
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविसौम्यकुजास्थिताः"; alternatives "रविसौम्यकुजाः स्थिताः" — set solid; final visarga clear in a full-width crop at 1.7x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "बुधदशाकालः"; alternatives "बुधदशाकाले" — visarga, not a locative े — two dots one above the other, clear at 2.3x.

If Mars and Saturn (manda) ⟨both⟩ stand in the 12th (vyaya), then when Saturn's dāya comes round Saturn is a giver of yoga — this is true, and for one born in Siṃha (Leo) it is certain.
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चेच्छनिदाये"; alternatives "चेत् शनिदाये", "चेच्छनिदाये" — the च्छ ligature is clear at 7.2x — चेत् + शनिदाये resolved by sandhi and set solid.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनियोगप्रदस्सत्यं"; alternatives "शनियोंगप्रदस्सत्यं", "शनिर्योगप्रदस्सत्यं", "शनियोगप्रदः सत्यं" — REFUSED, not resolved. At 12x there is an EXTRA short stroke crossing the ो flag over the यो, making an X. The control — राजयोग on line 11 of this same plate, cropped at the same magnification — shows a plain single-flagged ो with nothing above it, so the extra stroke is real ink and not the fount's normal ो. I cannot tell whether it is a repha, a smeared anusvara or a damaged sort, so I have NOT assigned it a character; the base reading is recorded and the mark is described here.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सिंहजातस्यवै"; alternatives "सिंहजातस्य वै" — set solid, no word space.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "प्रदस्सत्यं"; alternatives "प्रदः सत्यं" — double स्स ligature — the visarga assimilated before सत्यं, as भृगुश्शुभः at plate 51 line 12.
- About this edition: Printed under the sub-heading “सिंह लग्न”, which renumbers from 1; the number above is the position within the chapter.

- About this edition: The corpus published शनियोगप्रदस्सत्यं. Plate 52 at 3x, where the line is clean: a repha stands over the यो. The corpus dropped it. Corrected to शनिर्योगप्रदस्सत्यं; nothing is kept in `diplomatic` because the leaf and the mula now agree.

For one born in Kanyā (Virgo) lagna, if a relation (sambandha) of Venus (Bhṛgu) or of the Moon is found, there is an accession of wealth in the Sun's dāya (daśā).
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भृगोश्चन्द्रस्य"; alternatives "भृगोश्वन्द्रस्य" — श्च conjunct read at 5x; the च under the श् half-form is small and partly filled.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विद्येत"; alternatives "विच्छेत" — The conjunct's upper element was matched at 26x against the certain द् of द्वादश (line 9) and द्वितीय (line 12) — same left curl, so द्य not च्छ.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रवेर्दाये"; alternatives "रवेदाये" — Checked at 30x on a thresholded crop: TWO marks above the second cluster — a hook with an open white counter over the दा (the repha) and, separately, the solid े matra of ये. The repha is real, not a doubled matra.

And when Venus's dāya has arrived, the man becomes destitute of wealth; and when the Moon's dāya has arrived, he meets with a mixed yoga (miśra-yoga).
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ते"; alternatives "सम्प्राप्ते" — Anusvara over स, not a म् conjunct.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मिश्रायोगं"; alternatives "मिश्रयोगं" — A ा stroke is present after श्र; the anusvara sits over ग.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "समश्नुते"; alternatives "समस्नुते" — श्नु conjunct; the subscript न with the ु is small.

If the Moon and Venus stand in the 7th, or Jupiter stands in the 11th (lābha), and the Sun ⟨is⟩ in Meṣa (Aries) — when Jupiter's dāya, and Venus's dāya, come round ⟨the result follows in the next verse⟩.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सप्तमस्थौ"; alternatives "सप्तमस्थो" — The ौ of the second word is a double stroke above; distinguished from the single-stroke ो of लाभस्थो on the same line.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविर्गुरोर्दाये"; alternatives "रविर्गुरोदाये", "रविगुरोर्दाये" — TWO rephas in one word, both confirmed at 15x: one over the गु, one over the दा. Line closes on a bare double danda with NO number — the number comes only at the end of line 6.

Four ⟨or⟩ five wives (kaḷatra) — of this there is no doubt — ⟨belong⟩ to the lustful man, the equal of a king, who is born in Kanyā (Virgo). ⟨The plate prints catuśraḥ for catasraḥ 'four' and pañcamā for pañca 'five', and sets kaḷatrāṇi with the retroflex ḷa.⟩
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुश्रः"; alternatives "चतुस्रः", "चतस्रः" — AS PRINTED. At 26x the third cluster is unmistakably श (loop + bar + stem) with the subscript र leg, and the vowel under त is ु, not the expected अ of चतस्रः.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जीवकळत्राणि"; alternatives "जीवकलत्राणि" — AS PRINTED, and this is the notable reading on the plate: at 26x the fifth glyph is ळ (LLA) — two adjacent closed loops hanging from the headline — not ल, which in this fount is a single loop with a stem.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्चमा"; alternatives "पंचमा" — True ञ्च conjunct (the half-ñ here resembles ङ), not the anusvara spelling पंचम used in the Hindi at line 23.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "३,४"; alternatives "३।४", "३-४" — The separator between the two numerals is a low comma, not a danda or hyphen.

For one born in Kanyā (Virgo), ⟨if⟩ Jupiter and Venus are ⟨both⟩ gone to the 4th, then in the daśā-time of Jupiter and of Venus ⟨each⟩ is certainly a giver of yoga.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चतुर्थगौ"; alternatives "चतुर्थगो" — Double stroke over the final ग = ौ, matching the ौ of शुक्रौ earlier in the line.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "ध्रुवम्"; alternatives "ध्रुवं" — A virama is set under the final म, not an anusvara over the व.

For one born in Kanyā (Virgo), if Saturn stands in the 11th (lābha), then when Saturn's dāya has arrived the man becomes possessed of the yoga.
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिर्लाभस्थितो"; alternatives "शनिलाभस्थितो" — Repha over the ला, giving र्ला.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनेर्दाये"; alternatives "शनेदाये" — Same shape as रवेर्दाये on plate 53: a repha with an open counter above the दा, distinct from the solid े matra over the following ये.

For one born in Tulā (Libra) lagna, Saturn becomes a giver of yoga; and the lord of the 3rd and of the 6th — Jupiter (guru) — also becomes a giver of yoga. ⟨tṛtīya stands uninflected in the printing.⟩
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिर्योगप्रदो"; alternatives "शनियोगप्रदो" — Repha above the यो confirmed at 15x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "षष्ठनाथोऽपि"; alternatives "षष्ठनाथोपि" — An avagraha (ऽ) is set between थो and पि — clearly a separate sort at 4.5x.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्योगप्रदो". SUPERSEDES the earlier note here, which read “Only गु + र्यो is set: one ु under the ग, then the repha over यो. There is no second akshara for -रु-.” I looked at that akṣara on plate 55 at 22× and it is there: a र with the closed loop foot this fount uses for रु, matching गुरुशुक्रौ twelve lines above on the same leaf. A confident negative about our own evidence, written against the evidence.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तृतीय"; alternatives "तृतीये" — No े on the final य; the word stands uninflected before षष्ठनाथोऽपि.

For one born in Tulā (Libra) lagna, Mars — lord of the 2nd (dhana) and of the 7th, and a malefic — does not bring about death (nidhana); of this there is no doubt.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पापः निधनं"; alternatives "पापो निधनं" — A visarga, not a ो, on पाप — two dots clearly separated at 4.6x. The sandhi is not applied.

6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "समन्वितौ"; alternatives "समन्वितो" — Double stroke = ौ.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भौममन्देन"; alternatives "भौममन्दैन" — मन्द = Saturn; the े over the न is single.

⟨If those two are⟩ situated in the houses (sadman) of Mars and of Saturn (bhānuja, 'the Sun's son'), or else in Venus's antara within Jupiter's ⟨daśā⟩, or in Venus's dāya at the time of Jupiter's bhukti — ⟨there arise⟩ boils, sores and the like. ⟨The plate prints gurobhuṃkti with an anusvāra rather than gurorbhukti, spoṭa for sphoṭa, and sadma is not settled on the letterform alone.⟩
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सद्म"; alternatives "सद्य", "सह्य" — NOT SETTLED ON THE INK. At 26x the cluster is a द् curl over a rounded, closed lower element; म closes at the lower left and य does not, which is why I read द्म. I also weighed the plate's own Hindi rendering at line 14 (मंगल तथा शनि की राशि में स्थित) which wants sadman = house; that is same-page evidence, not an outside copy, but the reader should know the choice was not made on the letterform alone.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोश्शुक्रांतरेपि"; alternatives "गुरोः शुक्रांतरेपि", "गुरोश्शुक्रान्तरेऽपि" — Set solid, with a doubled श (श्श), an anusvara on the क्रां, and no avagraha before पि.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोभुंक्ति"; alternatives "गुरोर्भुक्ति", "गुरोर्भुक्तौ" — CHECKED AT 14x ON A THRESHOLDED CROP, and this is the mark the brief warns about: the sign over the भु is a SOLID ROUND DOT (anusvara), not the hooked repha with an open counter seen in रवेर्दाये (plate 53) and शनेर्दाये (plate 55). So the plate really does read गुरोभुंक्ति, not गुरोर्भुक्ति.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कालेस्पोटव्रणादिकौ"; alternatives "कालेस्फोटव्रणादिकौ", "काले स्फोटव्रणादिकौ" — AS PRINTED: प not फ (the bowl carries no interior flag at 9x), and काले is set solid with what follows.

For one born in Tulā (Libra), ⟨if⟩ the Sun and Mercury (soma-ja, 'the Moon's son') stand in the 12th (vyaya) and are ⟨un⟩aspected by Saturn, ⟨the native has⟩ a middling life-span, and his father is fortunate (bhāgyavān). ⟨śaninā-vīkṣitau is set solid and reads equally as śaninā vīkṣitau, 'aspected by Saturn', or śaninā avīkṣitau, 'unaspected by Saturn'; the plate does not decide it, and it also splits syātām across a word space.⟩
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "व्ययस्थौ"; alternatives "व्ययस्थो" — Double stroke = ौ.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिनावीक्षितौस्या तां"; alternatives "शनिनावीक्षितौ स्यातां" — AS PRINTED, and the point is the SPACE, not the letters. Column analysis puts the word break between स्या and तां (ink runs x 291-536, then a gap, then x 549-582), so the word स्यातां is split across a space and its first syllable is joined to what precedes. The letters themselves are unambiguous.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मध्यायुर्भाग्यवान्" — Repha over the भा; virama under the final न.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविस्सौरेंबुधस्य"; alternatives "रविस्सौरेर्बुधस्य", "रविः सौरेर्बुधस्य" — CHECKED AT 16x: the mark after the े of रे is a SOLID DOT (anusvara), not the open-countered repha hook. Set solid, with a doubled स (स्सौ). [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads रविस्सौरेर्बुधस्य; this sentence names रविस्सौरेंबुधस्य, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: Superseded. The plate was re-read by eye at about 12.1x native on the embedded master (br-1977-bhasin-ranjan.pdf page 58, nat/p58-000.jpg, printed line 20). The mark stands over the बु, not over the रे. In width, tail and open counter it matches the repha on plate 59 line 8, which this text already reads as a repha (1.83). The anusvāras on these plates are tailless blobs about half its width. The press sets रविस्सौरेर्बुधस्य, and the mūla now reads रविस्सौरेर्बुधस्य. The doubled स of स्सौ stays as printed.]

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संबधो"; alternatives "संबन्धो", "सम्बन्धो" — printed with no न between ब and धो; recorded as printed. The same word is spelled संबन्ध in the Hindi commentary on this page, so the mula setting differs from the commentary setting here.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुजस्यवेंदु"; alternatives "कुजस्य चेन्दु", "कुजस्येन्दु" — printed solid with an anusvara over वें; word division not editorially imposed.

tulāyāṃ jāyamānastu śukrasūryabudhā yadi | lagnasthāḥ bhāgyavānjātaḥ dhanvānaśca bhavadhruvam || 8 ||
One born in Tulā (Libra) — if Venus, the Sun and Mercury stand in the lagna, the native is fortunate (bhāgyavān) and wealthy; and this is certain. ⟨Our mūla now reads dhanvānaśca, as an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave it; it is rendered for the sense dhanavāṃś ca, 'and wealthy'.⟩

Mercury (saumya), Saturn (manda), Venus (sita) and the Sun (āditya) standing in the lagna, and the Moon and Mars (bhūmija) in the 7th — when the daśā-time of Mercury (candraja, 'the Moon's son') comes round ⟨the result follows in the next verse⟩. ⟨The archive's footer stamp is printed straight through the first two words of the second line and destroys the lower half of every akṣara; saptamastho candrajasya was read from the surviving headline band alone, and kujastasya was the reading at lower magnification. Neither word is settled on the ink.⟩
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सप्तमस्थो चन्द्रजस्य"; alternatives "सप्तमस्थो कुजस्तस्य" — PARTIAL READING - DAMAGE. The footer stamp 'CC-0. Shri Vipin Kumar Col. Deoband. In Public Domain.' is printed straight through this line, and its 'Shri Vipin Kumar' obliterates the LOWER HALF of these first two words. Only the headline band and the upper matras survive. At 11x restricted to that surviving band I read सप्तमस्थो and चन्द्रजस्य (the न्द्र conjunct is visible above the stamp). At 2.5x the second word had looked like कुजस्तस्य - that lower-power reading is NOT retracted in favour of certainty: I am reporting both. The distinguishing lower bowls are destroyed, so neither word is settled on the ink. Treat both words as unverified.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥" — The couplet closes with a BARE double danda and NO verse number - checked at 11x, nothing follows it. The verse straddles the page turn; its number should be sought at the head of plate 60. This is the documented unnumbered-at-the-foot case, and it is real here.

The man born in Tulā (Libra) becomes wealthy, and fortunate (bhāgyavān) besides; there is no doubt of it, certainly. ⟨The plate prints cāyamānas for jāyamānas — a defective sort — and splits bhavatyeva across a word space; our mūla now reads nāstivai, that is nāsti vai, with the emphatic particle vai.⟩
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चायमानस्तु"; alternatives "जायमानस्तु" — RECORDED AS PRINTED. At 12x the initial sort is unmistakably च, not ज. The same word is set correctly as जायमान- on plates 38, 39 and 59 in this same fount, so this is a defective sort, not a variant reading. Second instance on my plates of exactly this failure - compare जायमातो for जायमानो at plate 36 line 15. [2026-09-23: Confirmed by a second eye at about 8.2x native on .tmp/vision/bhavartha-ratnakara/page_0060.png (printed folio ५५). The sort is a complete, unbroken च. It differs in every part from the ज of तुलायां जायमानस्तु on page_0059.png line index 16, and from the ज of तुलाजातः and राजयोग two lines below on this plate. The press set the wrong sort. We hold no independently printed Devanāgarī edition of this verse, so the leaf's चायमानस्तु stays in the mūla.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्यवांश्चभवत्ये व"; alternatives "भाग्यवांश्च भवत्येव" — printed with the word space falling INSIDE भवत्येव (…भवत्ये | व…); recorded as printed, spacing not editorially normalised.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नास्तिवं"; alternatives "नास्ति वै", "नास्त्येवं" — printed thus; not a well-formed word in context. Recorded as printed and flagged. [2026-09-23: superseded — the mūla now reads ै where it read ं, so the keep recorded here no longer describes our text. The plate pass of 2026-09-23 opened the page for this locus and decided it on the plate; नास्तिवं stands as what this note kept until that reading, and is left here because it is the evidence the earlier ruling rested on.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥ ९, १० ॥"; alternatives "॥ ६, १० ॥" — MEASURED at 13x, not inferred. The first digit's ink bottom is 332 against the adjacent १'s 334, and its height 26 against 31 - it stops short of the १'s foot, which is this fount's ९. A ६ reaches the neighbour's foot or passes it (plate 23: ६ and १ share bottom 584; plate 39: ६ bottom 665 against ५ 663). Comma inked between the digits and kept.

⟨If⟩ Jupiter ⟨is⟩ in the 8th, Saturn (manda) in the 9th (bhāgya), and Mars and Mercury (indu-ja, 'the Moon's son') in the 11th (lābha) — if they stand so, the one born in Tulā (Libra) has an exceptional rājayoga. ⟨Our mūla now reads mandolābhe, the locative the sense wants, as an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave it.⟩
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मन्दोलाभं"; alternatives "मन्दोलाभे" — read at 2.7x as carrying an anusvara over भ; sense would prefer the locative मन्दोलाभे. NOT re-checked above 11x, and this fount's marks above the headline are demonstrably unsafe below that (see plate 37 line 27). Flagged as unsettled. [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads मन्दोलाभे; this sentence names मन्दोलाभं, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: Settled. The plate was read by eye at about 8.0x native on .tmp/vision/bhavartha-ratnakara/page_0060.png (printed folio ५५, store line index 11). The mark above भ is one stroke, thick at the upper left and tapering down to the right into the headline: the e-mātrā े. It matches the े of कुजे on the same line (16x8 px against 15x8 px, neither with a split row), and it is unlike the ौ of जौ at the end of that line (19x11 px, two runs). The 2.7x reading of an anusvāra was wrong. The press sets मन्दोलाभे, and the mūla now reads मन्दोलाभे.]

If Jupiter ⟨be⟩ in the 6th or in the 12th (antya) and the Moon be situated in the lagna, then when Saturn's dāya has arrived the one born in Ghaṭa (Aquarius) indeed partakes of the yoga. ⟨The verse stands under the Tulā (Libra) sub-heading yet names Ghaṭa — Aquarius — as the birth sign; printed so, and not emended.⟩

For one born in Tulā (Libra) the maraka — the death-dealing graha — is Venus (Bhārgava), the lord of the lagna; and Mars, though lord of the 2nd and of the 7th, does not become a maraka. ⟨dvitīye stands in the locative where the compound dvitīya-saptameśaḥ is wanted, and jāyamānasyā carries an ā-mātrā the genitive does not want.⟩
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जायमानस्या"; alternatives "जायमानस्य" — final ā-matra is separately inked and clearly present at 20x — a distinct vertical after the स्य conjunct's own stem. Verse 14 on this same plate prints जायमानस्य without it, so the two are contrastive on one page. Recorded as printed; grammatically the genitive जायमानस्य is expected.

If Jupiter and Mercury (saumya) stand ⟨together⟩ in the 5th and the Moon be in the 11th (lābha), the one whose birth is in Kīṭa (Scorpio) is endowed with much fortune (bhāgya) and wealth; there is no doubt.
3 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्चमस्थौ"; alternatives "पङ्चमस्थौ" — at 11x the nasal before च reads as a ङ-shaped sort with a virama rather than the usual ञ्च ligature. Cannot decide between a fount that draws ञ्च this way and a genuine ङ्च setting; recorded with the standard ञ्च and the seen shape as the alternative.

For one born in Kīṭa (Scorpio), if Jupiter (jīva), the Moon (indu) and Ketu are gone to the 9th (bhāgya), the daśā of Jupiter is a giver of yoga, and the dāya of Ketu also is a giver of yoga. ⟨The plate prints jīveṃdhu for jīvendu, and sets ketordāyova solid where the sense wants ketor dāyo vā.⟩
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जीवेंधु"; alternatives "जीवेन्दु", "जीवेन्धु" — the anusvara over वे is plainly and separately inked at 11x — it is NOT a scan artefact and NOT a missing conjunct. The following sort carries the left loop of ध, not the plain hook of द. Printed जीवेंधु against the expected जीवेन्दु (jīva+indu); recorded as printed.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "केतोर्दायोव"; alternatives "केतोर्दायो व" — set as one unbroken word; no inter-word gap of the width this setting uses elsewhere in the line.

Read by eye at about 6.0x native on .tmp/vision/bhavartha-ratnakara/page_0065.png (PDF page 65, printed folio ६०, store line index 16). The leaf sets केतोर्दायोव solid, with no gap inside the word. Its final sort is व: the same glyph as the व of भवेद्यदि (line index 5), and unlike the न of कीटजन्मा न संशयः (line index 6). The proposed केतोर्दायो न is refused, and the mūla keeps केतोर्दायोव as printed.]

7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनेर्दशा"; alternatives "शनेंदशा", "शनेदशा" — SETTLED BY MEASUREMENT. The mark over the द (source x814-823, y312-318) is a blob 10px wide that opens an interior counter at y315 and sends a tail down-right, stopping clear of the headline at y324 — identical in form to the repha over धनुर्जस्य (plate 67 line 17) and over गुरुर्दाये (plate 70 line 20). It is NOT the solid anusvara dot and NOT the 19px i-matra arch (whose right-hand hook descends separately, as in धनादि, plate 67 line 5)
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शने"; alternatives "शनि" — the mark over the न is a wedge sloping down-right = the e-matra, so शने not शनि
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनुर्लग्ने" — repha over ल confirmed at 12x; the ग्ने conjunct is half-ga + na + e-matra
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विभुदोत्तमाः"; alternatives "विबुधोत्तमाः" — printed as vi-bhu-do-tta-māḥ at 18x: glyph 2 is भ (inner hook + right stem) with u below, glyph 3 is द with o-matra. A transposition of the expected विबुधोत्तमाः; recorded as printed

For one born in Dhanus (Sagittarius) lagna, Saturn standing in the 11th (lābha) is a giver of yoga; but for one born in another sign (itara-ṛkṣa), Saturn in the 11th is not a giver of yoga. ⟨itarakṣe is printed without the repha the grammar wants.⟩
4 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "योगदश्शनिः"; alternatives "योगदशशनिः", "योगदः शनिः" — two sha forms adjacent, the first without its right stem (half-sha); read as the visarga-sandhi श्श
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "इतरक्षे"; alternatives "इतरर्क्षे" — pixel map of the क्ष cluster shows exactly ONE mark above the headline, a slanted e-matra wedge (y1288-1295); NO repha hook anywhere over the cluster. The grammatically expected इतरर्क्षे is therefore NOT what this leaf prints [2026-09-23: Confirmed by eye at about 4.6x and 6.4x native on .tmp/vision/bhavartha-ratnakara/page_0066.png (PDF page 66, printed folio ६१, store line index 16). The leaf carries one mark over the क्ष of इतरक्षे, the slanted े wedge, and no repha. In a stacked composite at the same 6.4x, the same press sets the repha plainly in the identical formula at render page_0017 line index 23 (our 1.7, इतरर्क्षे) and render page_0036 line index 14. The missing repha is the compositor's slip. The correction to इतरर्क्षे is withdrawn, and the mūla keeps इतरक्षे as the leaf sets it.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads इतरर्क्षे on the lexicon; the press sets इतरक्षे, read by eye on the plate (page_0066, about 6.4x), and the same press carries इतरर्क्षे in the identical formula at 1.7 (page_0017 line index 23) and at page_0036 line index 14, both read by eye at about 6.4x. The leaf's form is kept on the ledger.]

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनुर्जस्य"; alternatives "धनुर्लग्नस्य" — repha over ज confirmed at pixel level: a floating blob with a small counter and a tail descending right, clear of the headline (y1179-1186 vs headline y1189)
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भृगु"; alternatives "भृगू" — the u below ग is a plain hook, read short
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिर्दाये"; alternatives "शनिदिये", "शनेर्दाये" — SETTLED BY MEASUREMENT against a control on plate 70. Six sorts: श | ि | न | द | a bare vertical | ये (the ये's right stem runs to source x507-512, outside my first window, which is why I first read the last sort as stemless). The mark over the bare vertical is 11px wide with an open counter and a left tail that curves right into the headline — the repha form measured on धनुर्जस्य in line 17 of this same plate — NOT the 19px i-matra arch measured on धनादि (line 5), whose right-hand hook descends separately. So the bare vertical is ा, the cluster is र्दा, and the word is शनिर् + दाये, the locative of दाय (a planet's allotted daśā). Plate 70 line 20 prints the identical construction as गुरुर्दाये with the same five/six-sort layout, which is the control
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भाग्ययोग"; alternatives "भाग्ययोगौ", "भाग्ययोग-" — printed with no case ending and no hyphen before धनागमौ

If Mars and the Sun ⟨are⟩ in Kumbha (Aquarius) and Rāhu is gone to Siṃha (Leo), then at the time of their daśā the one born in Dhanus (Sagittarius) attains a bathing in the heavenly river (dyu-sarit, the Gaṅgā). ⟨A repha stands over the ra of rāhu. Our mūla now reads kāledyusaritasnānam; an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave kāledyusaritasnam, without the -nā-.⟩
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "र्राहु"; alternatives "राहु", "रांहु" — a repha (blob with an open counter and a tail descending right, y426-434, clear of the headline at y438) stands over the र. It is NOT an anusvara. The Hindi rendering three lines below prints plain राहु, so the repha is either a sandhi carried over from रविर् or a stray sort
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तद्दशा"; alternatives "तद्धशा" — stacked conjunct after त read as द्द; द्ध not excluded
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुंभे"; alternatives "कुम्भे" — nasal set as an anusvara dot, not the conjunct म्
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कालेद्युसरितस्नम्"; alternatives "काले द्युसरित्स्नानम्" — set solid with no word space; the स्न cluster carries no ा, so the printed form lacks the ा of स्नानम्. Recorded as printed [2026-09-23: Confirmed by eye at about 5.0x native on master _0067.jp2 (= render page_0068, store line index 4), with a greyscale measurement. After the स्न conjunct the press sets no ā-stem and no second न. The gap where an ā would stand is paper (0.0% of pixels below grey 160, minimum grey 173). In the same sheet the ā-stem of गंगास्नानम् in the same fount (render page_0027, store line 9) runs 93.8% below grey 110. The seven-syllable pāda is the compositor's. The proposed स्नानम् is refused, because no witness carries it, and the mūla keeps कालेद्युसरितस्नम् as printed.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads कालेद्युसरितस्नानम् on the metre; the press sets कालेद्युसरितस्नम्, a seven-syllable pāda, read by eye on the plate (render page_0068, about 5.0x), and the same press carries the formula गंगास्नानम् समश्नुते at 1.24 (render page_0027 line index 9, read by eye at about 5.0x), while its own Hindi on this verse, a machine read, renders स्नान. The leaf's form is kept on the ledger.]

The native attains a yoga of long life; in that there is no doubt. And the one born becomes destitute of wealth, and in this too there is no doubt. ⟨Our mūla now reads bhavej jāto, 'the one born becomes', as an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave it.⟩

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवेज्ज्ञातोह्यत्रापि"; alternatives "भवेज्ञातोह्यत्रापि", "भवेज्जातोह्यत्रापि" — NOT SETTLED. Between भवे and तो there are two elements; the second is a ligature I read as ज्ञ but which could be plain न or ज. भवेज्जातो (would be poor) and भवेज्ज्ञातो (is known) both fit the sense [2026-09-23: the mūla now reads भवेज्जातोह्यत्रापि; this sentence names भवेज्ज्ञातोह्यत्रापि, the form our text carried before the mūla-verification pass of 2026-09-23 corrected it, and it is kept as history.] [2026-09-23: Settled on the plate. Read by eye at about 5.0x, 7.0x and 9.96x native on master _0067.jp2 (= render page_0068, store line index 20). Between भवे and तो the press sets ज् + ज + ā-stem, elements of 16, 16 and 5 pixels. This fount's ज्ञ is one fifty-pixel run, as in संज्ञिकः on _0069.jp2 (render page_0070). The reading is भवेज्जातो, and the mūla now reads भवेज्जातोह्यत्रापि.]

makare jāyamānasya paṃcamasthedubhṛguśśubhaḥ | rājyasthaścedabhṛguryogaṃ na dadāti kadācan || 3 ||
For one born in Makara (Capricorn), Venus (Bhṛgu) standing in the 5th is auspicious; but if Venus stands in the 10th (rājya), he never gives the yoga. ⟨Between sthe and bhṛ the plate sets an akṣara read as du where the particle tu would be expected; it was not settled.⟩
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पंचमस्थेदुभृगुश्शुभः"; alternatives "पंचमस्थे तु भृगुश्शुभः", "पंचमस्थेद्भृगुश्शुभः" — NOT SETTLED. Between स्थे and भृ stands one akshara with a top bar, a left-curving body with NO right stem, and a u-hook below. The absent right stem rules out त, so the expected particle तु is not what is printed; I read दु. The parallel second line prints चेद-भृगुर्योगं, which would argue for a द here too
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "श्शुभः"; alternatives "शुभः" — two sha forms, the first without its right stem: the visarga sandhi of भृगुः + शुभः
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "राज्यस्थश्चेदभृगुर्योगं"; alternatives "राज्यस्थश्चेद् भृगुर्योगं" — set solid, no word space; repha over यो confirmed

He becomes a lord of a province (maṇḍalādhīśvara) and a king — of that there is no doubt. This is the yoga of the Bṛhajjātaka, named the mahārājaka. ⟨The plate prints rāja without its ā, bhavadhyeva for bhavatyeva, bhṛhaj- for bṛhaj-, and sets mahārājaka and saṃjñikaḥ as two words with an i-mātrā in the second.⟩
8 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवध्येव"; alternatives "भवत्येव" — the akshara has the closed bottom-left loop of ध, not the right stem of त. Printed ध; recorded as printed
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "राज"; alternatives "राजा" — no ा follows the ज; the expected राजा is not what stands
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भृहज्जातकयोगोऽयं"; alternatives "बृहज्जातकयोगोऽयं" — first akshara has the inner hook and crossbar of भ, not the plain bowl of ब. The Hindi four lines below prints वृहजातक with व, a third spelling of the same title on one plate
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "महाराजक संज्ञिकः"; alternatives "महाराजकसंज्ञकः" — printed as two words with a wide gap, and with an i-matra in संज्ञिकः

If Jupiter stands in the lagna, and Venus and Mars ⟨are⟩ in the 11th (lābha), then when Jupiter's dāya has arrived there is an accession of wealth having a brother (bhrātṛ) as its source (mūla).
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्लाभे"; alternatives "गुरुर् लाभे", "गुरौ लाभे" — set solid with a repha over the ला
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्दाये"; alternatives "गुरुर्दिये", "गुरोर्दाये" — SETTLED BY MEASUREMENT, and it corrects the obvious reading. Five sorts: गु | रु | द | a bare vertical | ये. The mark over the bare vertical is 10px wide with an open counter and a left tail that curves right into the headline — the repha form measured on धनुर्जस्य (plate 67) — NOT the 19px i-matra arch measured on धनादि, whose right-hand hook descends separately. So the bare vertical is ा and the cluster is र्दा: गुरुर् + दाये, the locative of दाय (a planet's allotted daśā). This is the same construction as शनिर्दाये on plate 67 line 18

The man born in Makara (Capricorn) obtains a palanquin (āndolikā) and a conveyance; there is no doubt of this — so it is proclaimed by the wise. ⟨The plate prints andolikā without its initial ā, and vāhanāṃ with an anusvāra where the neuter singular vāhanaṃ is expected.⟩
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "अन्दोलिका"; alternatives "आन्दोलिका" — first akshara is अ with no ा at 12x; the word wanted is आन्दोलिका (palanquin). Recorded as printed
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "वाहनां"; alternatives "वाहनं" — anusvara over the ा; the neuter singular would be वाहनं
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "सन्देहस्सूरिभिः"; alternatives "सन्देहः सूरिभिः" — स्स is the visarga sandhi of सन्देहः + सूरिभिः, set solid

If the Sun, the Moon and Mercury ⟨are⟩ in the lagna and Venus and Mars in the 12th (vyaya), the man born of Mṛga (Capricorn) obtains his brother's fortune (bhāgya) and his own. ⟨vyayo carries an o-mātrā where the locative vyaye is expected, and kujā stands without the dual ending.⟩
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "व्ययो"; alternatives "व्यये" — the matra is a ो (vertical plus the e-stroke), not a bare े; the locative व्यये would be expected
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुजा"; alternatives "कुजौ" — final matra read as ा, not the dual ौ
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भ्रातृभाग्यम् स्वभाग्यं" — the first word ends in a virama म्, the second in an anusvara — inconsistent within one line; both recorded as printed

⟨If⟩ Saturn (manda) and Mercury (saumya) stand ⟨together⟩ in the 9th (bhāgya), one born of Mṛga (Capricorn) becomes fortunate (bhāgyavān). ⟨If⟩ Rāhu and Jupiter (jīva) stand in the 12th (vyaya), Rāhu becomes a giver of yoga.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "मन्दसौम्य"; alternatives "मन्दसौम्यौ" — the compound naming Saturn and Mercury is printed without the dual ending, though the next word भाग्यस्थौ carries it

For one born in Kumbha (Aquarius) or in Siṃha (Leo) there is no special yoga merely by a relation (sambandha) of the lords of the 9th (bhāgya) and of the 10th (rājya) — so the wise know.
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुंभे"; alternatives "कुम्भे" — nasal set as an anusvara dot
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "नैव"; alternatives "न एव" — set solid
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विदुर्बुधाः"; alternatives "विदुर्भुधाः", "विदुर् बुधाः" — the र् is set as a FULL र carrying an explicit virama, not as a repha — unusual for this fount. The following akshara's pixel map shows a plain left vertical, a full-width crossbar and a right vertical with no inner hook, so I read ब, not भ; but at 13x the eye reads भु

For one born in Kumbha (Aquarius), ⟨if⟩ the Sun and Mars (bhūmija, 'the earth-born') stand in the 8th (randhra), the dāya of those two is a giver of sorrow, while Mercury's dāya is indeed a giver of yoga. ⟨duḥkhadasyā is printed as one word ending in -ā where the finite syāt is expected.⟩
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविभूमिजौ" — dual: the Sun and the earth-born (Mars)
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "तयोर्दाये"; alternatives "तयोर्दिये" — KEY CONTROL for this book. Five sorts: त | यो | द | a bare vertical carrying the repha | ये. The next word on the same line prints बुधदाये with the ा joined to द and no repha, so दाये (locative of दाय, a planet's allotted period) is beyond doubt here — which is what settles शनिर्दाये on plate 67 line 18 and गुरुर्दाये on plate 70 line 20
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "दुःखदस्या"; alternatives "दुःखदा स्याद्", "दुःखदः स्यात्" — printed as one word ending in ा; the expected finite verb स्यात् is not what stands

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्मंदो"; alternatives "गुरुर्मन्दो" — repha over मं; nasal set as anusvara
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "घटजातस्य" — घट = the Pot, i.e. Kumbha/Aquarius
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुदाये"; alternatives "गुरुर्दाये" — here WITHOUT a repha, unlike गुरुर्दाये on plate 70 line 20 — the book prints both forms
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिदायेव"; alternatives "शनिदाये एव" — शनिदाये + एव run together [2026-09-23: Read by eye on the plate at about 9.4x and 9.9x native on master _0074.jp2 (= render page_0075, store line index 1). The final sort of शनिदायेव is व: the same closed-bowl sort as the व of भवति (p.75 l.18), and unlike the open-limbed न of शनि (p.75 l.17) and the न inside this very word. The break before it is 2 px, this fount's letterspacing inside a word, against word gaps of 36-50 px on the line. The proposed शनिदाये न is refused, and the mūla keeps शनिदायेव. A recorded divergence of sense, not a doubt about our letters: B. V. Raman's 1947 English renders this pāda negatively, 'no good will be produced in Sani Dasa' (br-raman-1947 store p.42 ll.16-19, a machine read of an edition that prints no Devanāgarī). Bhasin's own Hindi on our exemplar's page (a machine read, store p.75 l.4 and l.10) reads Saturn's daśā as good, as our mūla does.]

For one born in Kumbha (Aquarius), ⟨if⟩ Saturn and Venus are ⟨both⟩ gone to the 11th (lābha), then when Venus's dāya has arrived Venus becomes a giver of yoga.
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनि शुक्रौ"; alternatives "शनिशुक्रौ" — printed as two sorts with a gap; the dual ending sits on शुक्रौ alone
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शुक्रदाये" — the ा joined to द, no repha — another instance of दाये, the locative of दाय
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "संप्राप्ते"; alternatives "सम्प्राप्ते" — nasal set as anusvara; a stray low comma-like mark stands before this word in the printing

If the Sun, Mercury (saumya) and Jupiter (jīva) stand in the 3rd (vikrama), then in the Sun's dāya the Sun is a giver of auspicious results — truly — and a giver of kingdom (rājya) to one born in Kumbha (Aquarius).
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "विक्रमस्थास्सूर्यसौम्या"; alternatives "विक्रमस्थास्सूर्यसौम्यौ" — स्स is the visarga sandhi; the compound ends in ा, not the dual ौ
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "जीवश्चेत्सूर्यदायके"; alternatives "जीवश्चेत् सूर्यदायके" — set solid; सूर्यदायके is again the दाय (allotted daśā) word — locative
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविश्शुभप्रदस्सत्यम्"; alternatives "रविः शुभप्रदः सत्यम्" — two visarga sandhis set solid: श्श then स्स

For one born in Mīna (Pisces) or in Kumbha (Aquarius), Venus in the 12th (vyaya) is not a giver of yoga; for one born in another ⟨sign⟩, Venus in the 12th is a giver of auspicious results.

- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुम्भे"; alternatives "कुंभे" — here the nasal is the CONJUNCT म्भ, where plates 68, 73-76 set the same word with an anusvara. Both spellings stand in this book

For one born in Mīna (Pisces) lagna, Saturn (manda) in the 12th (vyaya) is indeed a giver of yoga. ⟨If⟩ the Moon stands in the 12th (vyaya) counted from the lagna (lagnāt), the man becomes destitute of wealth.
6 notes on this verse
- About this edition: The first word of the second line lies under the archive's composited CC-0 footer, whose words “Shri Vipin” cross the lower half of every akṣara. It was refused by both readers of the full re-read and published as ⟨?⟩. Read again on 2026-09-08 at 8× with autocontrast: the headline and the word's ending ात् survive the overlay, which excludes the earlier note's own guess जातस्य (that ends स्य) and fits लग्नात्. The independent first plate read has लग्नात् outright, and the pāda counts 8 with it and 5 without. The refusal is lifted on evidence, not by supplying a reading.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "[first word buried under the composited CC-0 footer — REFUSED]" — REFUSAL. This is the last line of the leaf and the words 'Shri Vipin' of the composited CC-0 footer sit directly on top of its first word, covering the lower half of every akshara. Only a continuous headline and some upper strokes survive. Sense and the parallel line 23 both suggest जातस्य, but that is inference from context, not from ink, so I do not record it. The rest of the line is crossed only below the baseline and IS read
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "व्यये" — crossed by the footer's 'Kumar' but legible at 5x

- About this edition: The printing numbers this verse 2 within its own section; it is published at position 118 of the chapter.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: The ⟨?⟩ stands for the first word of the second line, which is buried under the archive's composited CC-0 footer: the words 'Shri Vipin' sit directly on it and cover the lower half of every akṣara, leaving only a continuous headline. Sense and the parallel line would give jātasya, but that is inference from context and not from the ink, so the word is left unread and nothing is supplied for it in either rendering.

mīnalagne tu jātasya gurordāye samāgame | candrāntarbhuktikālastu pūrvayogasvahusṛdaḥ || 3 ||
For one born in Mīna (Pisces) lagna, when the dāya (daśā) of Jupiter comes round, the time of the Moon's antara-bhukti ⟨is⟩ pūrvayoga-svahusṛdaḥ — [the closing word is not a form that can be accounted for as printed, and it is not rendered; if this printing's constant va-for-ba holds, it may stand for 'the earlier yoga, giving much happiness'.]
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरोर्दाये" — the grammatically correct genitive of गुरु + दाये, printed here in full — the clearest instance in this run of the दाय word that plates 67, 70, 74 and 75 also carry
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चन्द्रान्तर्भुक्तिकालस्तु" — repha over भु confirmed
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पूर्वयोगस्वहुसृदः"; alternatives "पूर्वयोगस्बहुसृदः", "पूर्वयोगः बहुसुखदः" — NOT SETTLED. After योग I read the cluster स्व, then हु, then सृ (with a clear vocalic ृ below), then दः. Given this printing's constant व-for-ब, स्वहु may stand for स् + बहु, but सृदः is not a word I can account for and I do not emend it

mīnalagne tu jātasya pañcamastho gururyadi | strīsantati samṛddhisyāt kutracitputra santatiḥ || 4 ||
For one born in Mīna (Pisces) lagna, if Jupiter stands in the 5th, there is an abundance of female offspring; in some cases a line of sons ⟨as well⟩. ⟨samṛddhisyāt is set solid where samṛddhiḥ syāt is wanted, and strīsantati stands without its final visarga.⟩
7 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुर्यदि"; alternatives "गुर्यदि", "गुरुयंदि" — Checked at 30x. Four clusters: ग with subscript u-hook, then the ru-ligature, then य carrying a mark above, then दि. The mark over य is a HOOK with an open white counter (repha), not the solid dot of anusvara — so र्य, giving गुरुर्यदि. At the 947px downsample this reads as an anusvara.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पञ्चमस्थो" — the ञ्च conjunct is set with the old stacked form; unambiguous here
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "समृद्धिस्यात्"; alternatives "समृद्धिः स्यात्" — No visarga dots are visible between द्धि and स्यात् at 8x; the two are set solid. Recording the page. Sense wants समृद्धिः स्यात्.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "स्त्रीसन्तति"; alternatives "स्त्रीसन्ततिः" — printed without final visarga though the parallel सन्ततिः later in the same line carries one
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुत्रचित्पुत्र"; alternatives "कुत्रचित् पुत्र" — set solid, no word space

For one being born in Mīna, ⟨with⟩ Jupiter (guru) in the 6th, Venus (bhṛgu) in the 8th, Saturn in the 9th (bhāgya), and the Moon and Mars in the 11th (lābha), ⟨the native is⟩ of surpassing fortune. [Our mūla now reads ऽष्टमे, 'in the 8th'; an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave ऽटमे there, an avagraha and a bare ट, with the ष् dropped.]
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुरुषष्ठेऽटमे"; alternatives "गुरुषष्ठेऽष्टमे", "गुरुषष्ठेष्टमे" — SETTLED on plate 83. The fount sets a free-standing avagraha ऽ that does NOT touch the headline (calibrated against the certain avagraha in बृहज्जातकयोगोऽयम्, plate 83 line 4), whereas its half-ष is a CLOSED LOOP hanging under the headline and joined to the following consonant. Stacking this line over line 5 of the same verse at 16x, the same x-range: line 5 shows ष्ट with the loop, line 4 shows a free-standing ऽ followed by a BARE ट. So the leaf prints the avagraha and DROPS the ष् of अष्टमे. Sense wants ऽष्टमे; recorded as printed. [2026-09-23: The leaf was opened again by eye and read the same way. On master _0079.jp2 (= render page_0080, store line index 3) at about 2.4x, 8.9x and 9.4x native, the disputed span is a free-standing avagraha plus a bare ट, 32 px wide; avagraha plus ष्ट would need about 45. At 9.4x it was set beside the ष्ट of कृष्ट on the line below, the bare ट of घट (render page_0075 line index 0) and the ष्ठे of this same word. The press dropped the ष्. The correction to ऽष्टमे is withdrawn, and the mūla keeps ऽटमे as printed.] [2026-09-30: the mūla now reads गुरुषष्ठेऽष्टमे on the lexicon; the press sets गुरुषष्ठेऽटमे, read by eye on the plate at about 9.4x, and machine reads of this press's own Hindi on the same page ("शुक्र आठवें", store page_0080 line index 5) and of its 1.87 carry अष्टमे.]

mīne jātasya lagnastho śanicandrau ca lābhagaḥ | kujaṣṣaṣṭhekaviśśukradāye bhāgyamudīritam || 8 ||
For one born in Mīna: Saturn and the Moon situated in the lagna, and ⟨a graha⟩ gone to the 11th (lābha); Mars in the 6th, ⟨and⟩ Venus (kavi) — in the daśā of Venus (śukra-dāya) fortune is declared. [The first half is defective as printed: the singular लग्नस्थो stands beside the dual शनिचन्द्रौ, and no graha is named for लाभगः. Our mūla now reads कुज, Mars, where an eye reading of the plate on 2026-09-23 gave फुज, which is no word.]
What the printed page actually sets, here
The Sanskrit above is what our source reads — one encoded source, machine-parsed. This printed page sets it differently. Because only one source stands behind this verse, that difference has not been adjudicated: both readings are shown and neither has been weighed against the other.
मीने जातस्य लग्नस्थो शनिचन्द्रौ च लाभगः । फुजष्षष्ठेकविश्शुक्रदाये भाग्यमुदीरितम् ॥ ८ ॥
6 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "शनिचन्द्रौ" — the au-matra is doubled-stroke and clear
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "फुजष्षष्ठे"; alternatives "कुजष्षष्ठे" — The FIRST akshara is फ, not क. Compared at 10x against the क of कवि four aksharas later in the same word: क carries its crossbar and open left arm, this glyph has फ's closed left loop and bottom-right curl. Sense demands कुज (Mars), so the leaf carries a wrong sort. Recorded as printed. [2026-09-23: superseded — the mūla now reads क where it read फ, so the keep recorded here no longer describes our text. The plate pass of 2026-09-23 opened the page for this locus and decided it on the plate; फुजष्षष्ठेकविश्शुक्रदाये stands as what this note kept until that reading, and is left here because it is the evidence the earlier ruling rested on.]
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कविश्शुक्रदाये"; alternatives "कविशुक्रदाये", "कविः शुक्रदाये" — the mark between वि and शु is the old curl half-श, so श्श — the visarga of कविः assimilated before श. Not a stray.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "(gap after दाये)" — an isolated dark speck sits below the line between दाये and भाग्यमुदीरितम्, roughly where a word space falls. It is a dirt fleck or a broken piece of a sort, not a legible character; I do not transcribe it. Recorded here because it is visible on the plate.

3 notes on this verse

For a man born in Mīna, Jupiter is lord both of the lagna and of the rājya (the 10th). If he stands in the rājya (10th), he assuredly becomes a giver of yoga. [The leaf prints भवे where the syntax wants भवेद्.]
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "पुंसस्तु"; alternatives "पुँसस्तु" — the mark over पु is a solid dot (anusvara) at 30x, no crescent
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "॥११।"; alternatives "॥ ११ ॥" — Verified at 10x: TWO vertical strokes, then १, then १, then ONE vertical stroke. The closing danda is single where the opening is double, and there are no spaces. Recorded exactly as set.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "भवे ध्रुवम्"; alternatives "भवेद् ध्रुवम्", "भवेद्ध्रुवम्" — भवे is printed with no final consonant and a clear word space before ध्रुवम्; sense wants भवेद्. Recorded as printed.

5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "रविर्यदि"; alternatives "रवियंदि" — the mark over य, at 18x, is the open-countered repha hook, identical in shape to the one over य in गुरुर्यदि on plate 79 — not the solid anusvara dot. So रविः + यदि → रविर्यदि.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "चेन्दुस्सिंहे"; alternatives "चेन्दुः सिंहे" — visarga assimilated to स् before स and set solid; the सिं carries a solid anusvara dot
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "धनुर्गुरुः"; alternatives "धनुर्गुंरुः", "धनुगुँरुः" — UNSETTLED. Over the गु sit TWO marks: an open-countered hook (the repha, matching the repha over य two lines above at the same magnification) AND a solid dot high to its right. Repha alone gives धनुर्गुरुः, which is what the sandhi धनुः+गुरुः requires and what I have recorded. The extra dot may be an anusvara sort, a candrabindu set as crescent-plus-dot, or a speck; I cannot decide between them on the ink.

— Saturn in Kumbha (Aquarius) and Mars in the 11th (lābha): abundant fortune is declared. Or ⟨the group may stand⟩ short by one or two of the sky-goers (khacara, the grahas), ⟨or⟩ the meeting may fall in the preceding sign (pūrva-ṛkṣa).
5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "कुजोलाभे"; alternatives "कुजो लाभे" — set solid, no word space
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "हीनोपूर्वर्क्ष"; alternatives "हीनोपूर्वर्क्षं", "हीनोपूर्वंक्षं" — Checked at 16x. TWO marks stand over this word — one over the व and one over the क्ष — and BOTH are the open-countered repha hook, not the solid anusvara dot. So र्व and र्क्ष: हीनो-पूर्व-ऋक्ष with the a+ṛ sandhi written र्. At 9x both read as anusvaras, which is how the word would be mis-transcribed as हीनोपूर्वंक्षं. No case ending or anusvara follows the क्ष that I can see.
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "(space before संगमः)" — an unusually wide gap stands between हीनोपूर्वर्क्ष and संगमः, wider than the other word spaces on the line; it may be justification or may mark a word division

5 notes on this verse
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "गुणवान्श्चेव"; alternatives "गुणवांश्चैव" — printed with न् plus an explicit virama (not an anusvara) and with चे (not चै); recorded as printed
- Where the Sanskrit is open: Reader's uncertainty: read "ऽ" — THE CALIBRATION GLYPH FOR THIS WHOLE RUN. This avagraha is certain from context and shows what the sort looks like in this fount: a free-standing S that hangs clear of the headline. It is nothing like the half-ष, which is a closed loop tucked under the headline and joined to the next consonant. Comparing plate 80 line 4 against it corrected my reading there.

- Corroboration: बृहज्जातक stands in three verses of this text — 1.54, 1.130 and 8.8 — and is read here, as in the other two, as an ATTRIBUTION: a yoga taught in the Bṛhat Jātaka, not a yoga named “Bṛhajjātaka”. Four supports: 1.54 adds महाराजिक संज्ञिकः, 'it bears the NAME mahārājika', which is the name-slot already filled; 8.8 adds सूरिभिः परिकीर्तितः; B. V. Raman glosses our 1.54 “goes under the name of Mahārājayoga in Brihat Jathaka”; and Arastu Prabhaker (Diamond 2013) p. 47 renders it “called Maharaja Yoga in Brihat Jatakam”. Recorded negative: a search of all 409 published Bṛhat Jātaka verses in research/translations/brihat-jataka for महाराज / महाराजिक returns nothing, so the attribution cannot at present be seated on a verse we hold.
