Bṛhat Pārāśara Horā Śāstra

अथैकदा मुनिश्रेष्ठं त्रिकालज्ञं पराशरम् । पप्रच्छोपेत्य मैत्रेयः प्रणिपत्य कृताञ्जलिः

athaikadā muniśreṣṭhaṃ trikālajñaṃ parāśaram | papracchopetya maitreyaḥ praṇipatya kṛtāñjaliḥ

Then once, Maitreya approached Parāśara — best of sages, knower of the three times — bowed down before him, and with joined palms asked:

भगवन् परमं पुण्यं गुह्यं वेदाङ्गमुत्तमम् । त्रिस्कन्धं ज्यौतिषं होरा गणितं संहितेति च

bhagavan paramaṃ puṇyaṃ guhyaṃ vedāṅgamuttamam | triskandhaṃ jyautiṣaṃ horā gaṇitaṃ saṃhiteti ca

O Blessed One, jyotiṣa is supremely holy, secret, the highest of the Vedāṅgas, and three-trunked — horā, gaṇita and saṃhitā.

एतेष्वपि त्रिषु श्रेष्ठा होरेति श्रूयते मुने । त्वत्तस्तां श्रोतुमिच्छामि कृपया वद मे प्रभो

eteṣvapi triṣu śreṣṭhā horeti śrūyate mune | tvattastāṃ śrotumicchāmi kṛpayā vada me prabho

And among these three, horā is heard to be the best, O sage. I wish to hear it from you; of your grace, speak it to me, O lord.

कथं सृष्टिरियं जाता जगतश्च लयः कथम् । खस्थानां भूस्थितानां च सम्बन्धं वद विस्तरात्

kathaṃ sṛṣṭiriyaṃ jātā jagataśca layaḥ katham | khasthānāṃ bhūsthitānāṃ ca sambandhaṃ vada vistarāt

How did this creation come to be, and how the dissolution of the world? Tell me at length the connection between those that stand in the sky and those set on the earth.

साधु पृष्टं त्वया विप्र लोकानुग्रहकारिणा । अथाहं परमं ब्रह्म तच्छक्तिं भारतीं पुनः

sādhu pṛṣṭaṃ tvayā vipra lokānugrahakāriṇā | athāhaṃ paramaṃ brahma tacchaktiṃ bhāratīṃ punaḥ

Well have you asked, O brāhmaṇa, you who work grace for the worlds. Now I — ⟨bowing⟩ to the supreme Brahman, and to his power Bhāratī, and again

सूर्यं नत्वा ग्रहपतिं जगदुत्पत्तिकारणम् । वक्ष्यामि वेदनयनं यथा ब्रह्ममुखाच्छ्रुतम्

sūryaṃ natvā grahapatiṃ jagadutpattikāraṇam | vakṣyāmi vedanayanaṃ yathā brahmamukhācchrutam

to the Sun, lord of the grahas, cause of the world's arising — shall declare the eye of the Veda, just as it was heard from the mouth of Brahmā.

शान्ताय गुरुभक्ताय सर्वदा सत्यवादिने । आस्तिकाय प्रदातव्यं ततः श्रेयो ह्यवाप्स्यति

śāntāya gurubhaktāya sarvadā satyavādine | āstikāya pradātavyaṃ tataḥ śreyo hyavāpsyati

It is to be given to one who is calm, devoted to his teacher, always truthful, a believer; from that he will obtain what is good.

न देयं परशिष्याय नास्तिकाय शठाय वा । दत्ते प्रतिदिनं दुःखं जायते नात्र संशयः

na deyaṃ paraśiṣyāya nāstikāya śaṭhāya vā | datte pratidinaṃ duḥkhaṃ jāyate nātra saṃśayaḥ

It is not to be given to another's pupil, to an unbeliever, or to a rogue. Given ⟨to such a one⟩, sorrow arises day after day — there is no doubt in this.

एकोऽव्यक्तात्मको विष्णुरनादिः प्रभुरीश्वरः । शुद्धसत्त्वो जगत्स्वामी निर्गुणस्त्रिगुणान्वितः

eko'vyaktātmako viṣṇuranādiḥ prabhurīśvaraḥ | śuddhasattvo jagatsvāmī nirguṇastriguṇānvitaḥ

Viṣṇu is one, unmanifest in nature, beginningless, master and lord; of pure sattva, sovereign of the world, without attributes and yet possessed of the three guṇas.

संसारकारकः श्रीमान्निमित्तात्मा प्रतापवान् । एकांशेन जगत्सर्वं सृजत्यवति लीलया

saṃsārakārakaḥ śrīmānnimittātmā pratāpavān | ekāṃśena jagatsarvaṃ sṛjatyavati līlayā

He is the maker of saṃsāra, glorious, the efficient cause in his very being, full of majesty; with a single portion he creates and preserves the whole world in play.

त्रिपादं तस्य देवस्य ह्यमृतं तत्त्वदर्शिनः । विदन्ति तत्प्रमाणं च सप्रधानं तथैकपात्

tripādaṃ tasya devasya hyamṛtaṃ tattvadarśinaḥ | vidanti tatpramāṇaṃ ca sapradhānaṃ tathaikapāt

Three quarters of that god are immortal; the seers of truth know that measure of him, and likewise the one quarter together with pradhāna.

व्यक्ताव्यक्तात्मको विष्णुर्वासुदेवस्तु गीयते । यदव्यक्तात्मको विष्णुः शक्तिद्वयसमन्वितः

vyaktāvyaktātmako viṣṇurvāsudevastu gīyate | yadavyaktātmako viṣṇuḥ śaktidvayasamanvitaḥ

Viṣṇu, whose nature is both manifest and unmanifest, is sung of as Vāsudeva. In so far as Viṣṇu is unmanifest in nature, he is joined with the two śaktis;

व्यक्तात्मकस्त्रिभिर्युक्तः कथ्यतेऽनन्तशक्तिमान् । सत्त्वप्रधाना श्रीशक्तिर्भूशक्तिश्च रजोगुणा

vyaktātmakastribhiryuktaḥ kathyate'nantaśaktimān | sattvapradhānā śrīśaktirbhūśaktiśca rajoguṇā

and in so far as he is manifest in nature, joined with three, he is called the possessor of endless śakti. Śrī-śakti has sattva predominant, and Bhū-śakti has the guṇa of rajas;

शक्तिस्तृतीया या प्रोक्ता नीलाख्या ध्वान्तरूपिणी । वासुदेवश्चतुर्थोऽभूच्छ्रीशक्त्या प्रेरितो यदा

śaktistṛtīyā yā proktā nīlākhyā dhvāntarūpiṇī | vāsudevaścaturtho'bhūcchrīśaktyā prerito yadā

the third śakti, which is called Nīlā, is spoken of as having the form of darkness. When Vāsudeva, impelled by Śrī-śakti, became the fourth —

सङ्कर्षणश्च प्रद्युम्नोऽनिरुद्ध इति मूर्तिधृक् । तमःशक्त्याऽन्वितो विष्णुर्देवः सङ्कर्षणाभिधः

saṅkarṣaṇaśca pradyumno'niruddha iti mūrtidhṛk | tamaḥśaktyā'nvito viṣṇurdevaḥ saṅkarṣaṇābhidhaḥ

— he bore the forms Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. Viṣṇu joined with the tamas-śakti is the god named Saṅkarṣaṇa;

प्रद्युम्नो रजसा शक्त्याऽनिरुद्धः सत्त्वया युतः । महान् सङ्कर्षणाज्जातः प्रद्युम्नाद्यदहङ्कृतिः

pradyumno rajasā śaktyā'niruddhaḥ sattvayā yutaḥ | mahān saṅkarṣaṇājjātaḥ pradyumnādyadahaṅkṛtiḥ

Pradyumna ⟨is he⟩ with the rajas śakti, Aniruddha is joined with the sattva ⟨śakti⟩. Mahat was born from Saṅkarṣaṇa, and from Pradyumna, ahaṅkāra.

अनिरुद्धात् स्वयं जातो ब्रह्माहङ्कारमूर्तिधृक् । सर्वेषु सर्वशक्तिश्च स्वशक्त्याऽधिकया युतः

aniruddhāt svayaṃ jāto brahmāhaṅkāramūrtidhṛk | sarveṣu sarvaśaktiśca svaśaktyā'dhikayā yutaḥ

From Aniruddha was born Brahmā himself, bearing the form of ahaṅkāra; in all ⟨beings⟩ he is the all-power, joined with his own śakti in greater measure.

अहङ्कारस्त्रिधा भूत्वा सर्वमेतद्विस्तरात् । सात्त्विको राजसश्चैव तामसश्चेदहङ्कृतिः

ahaṅkārastridhā bhūtvā sarvametadvistarāt | sāttviko rājasaścaiva tāmasaścedahaṅkṛtiḥ

Ahaṅkāra, having become threefold, ⟨brought forth⟩ all this by expansion — the sāttvika, the rājasa, and the tāmasa ahaṅkṛti.

देवा वैकारिकाज्जातास्तैजसादिन्द्रियाणि च । तामसाच्चैव भूतानि खादीनि स्वस्वशक्तिभिः

devā vaikārikājjātāstaijasādindriyāṇi ca | tāmasāccaiva bhūtāni khādīni svasvaśaktibhiḥ

From the vaikārika ⟨the sāttvika⟩ the gods were born, and from the taijasa the senses; from the tāmasa, the elements beginning with ether — each by its own śakti.

श्रीशक्त्या सहितो विष्णुः सदा पाति जगत्त्रयम् । भूशक्त्या सृजते ब्रह्मा नीलशक्त्या शिवोऽत्ति हि

śrīśaktyā sahito viṣṇuḥ sadā pāti jagattrayam | bhūśaktyā sṛjate brahmā nīlaśaktyā śivo'tti hi

Viṣṇu, together with Śrī-śakti, ever protects the three worlds; with Bhū-śakti Brahmā creates; with Nīlā-śakti Śiva devours.

सर्वेषु चैव जीवेषु परमात्मा विराजते । सर्वं हि तदिदं ब्रह्मन् स्थितं हि परमात्मनि

sarveṣu caiva jīveṣu paramātmā virājate | sarvaṃ hi tadidaṃ brahman sthitaṃ hi paramātmani

And in all living beings the Supreme Self shines forth; for all this, O brāhmaṇa, stands in the Supreme Self.

सर्वेषु चैव जीवेषु स्थितंह्यंशद्वयं क्वचित् । जीवांशो ह्यधिकस्तद्वत् परमात्मांशकः किल

sarveṣu caiva jīveṣu sthitaṃhyaṃśadvayaṃ kvacit | jīvāṃśo hyadhikastadvat paramātmāṃśakaḥ kila

And in all living beings a pair of portions stands; in some the jīva-portion is the greater, and just so ⟨in others⟩ the portion of the Supreme Self.

सूर्यादयो ग्रहाः सर्वे ब्रह्मकामद्विषादयः । एते चान्ये च बहवः परमात्मांशकाधिकाः

sūryādayo grahāḥ sarve brahmakāmadviṣādayaḥ | ete cānye ca bahavaḥ paramātmāṃśakādhikāḥ

The Sun and the rest, all the grahas, and Brahmā, the foe of Kāma ⟨Śiva⟩ and the rest — these and many others have the portion of the Supreme Self in greater measure.

शक्तयश्च तथैतेषामधिकांशाः श्रियादयः । स्वस्वशक्तिषु चान्यासु ज्ञेया जीवांशकाधिकाः

śaktayaśca tathaiteṣāmadhikāṃśāḥ śriyādayaḥ | svasvaśaktiṣu cānyāsu jñeyā jīvāṃśakādhikāḥ

And likewise their śaktis, Śrī and the rest, are of the greater portion; while among their own other śaktis they are to be known as having the jīva-portion the greater.

रामकृष्णादयो ये च ह्यवतारा रमापतेः । तेऽपि जीवांशसंयुक्ताः किंवा ब्रूहि मुनीश्वर

rāmakṛṣṇādayo ye ca hyavatārā ramāpateḥ | te'pi jīvāṃśasaṃyuktāḥ kiṃvā brūhi munīśvara

Rāma, Kṛṣṇa and the rest, who are the incarnations (avatāra) of the Lord of Ramā ⟨Viṣṇu⟩ — are they too joined with a portion of the jīva ⟨the individual soul⟩, or ⟨is it otherwise⟩? Tell ⟨me⟩, O lord among sages.

रामः कृष्णश्च भो विप्र नृसिंहः सूकरस्तथा । एते पूर्णावताराश्च ह्यन्ये जीवांशकान्विताः

rāmaḥ kṛṣṇaśca bho vipra nṛsiṃhaḥ sūkarastathā | ete pūrṇāvatārāśca hyanye jīvāṃśakānvitāḥ

Rāma, and Kṛṣṇa, O brāhmaṇa (vipra), Nṛsiṃha, and likewise Sūkara ⟨the Boar⟩ — these are full incarnations (pūrṇāvatāra); the others are endowed with a portion of the jīva.

अवताराण्यनेकानि ह्यजस्य परमात्मनः । जीवानां कर्मफलदो ग्रहरूपी जनार्दनः

avatārāṇyanekāni hyajasya paramātmanaḥ | jīvānāṃ karmaphalado graharūpī janārdanaḥ

The incarnations of the unborn (aja) Supreme Self (paramātman) are many. It is Janārdana ⟨Viṣṇu⟩, taking the form of the grahas, who gives living beings (jīva) the fruit of their deeds (karma).

दैत्यानां बलनाशाय देवानां बलवृद्धये । धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय ग्रहाज्जाताः शुभाः क्रमात्

daityānāṃ balanāśāya devānāṃ balavṛddhaye | dharmasaṃsthāpanārthāya grahājjātāḥ śubhāḥ kramāt

For the destruction of the strength of the daityas ⟨demons⟩, for the increase of the strength of the devas ⟨gods⟩, and for the establishing of dharma, the auspicious ⟨incarnations⟩ were born from the grahas in due order.

रामोऽवतारः सूर्यस्य चन्द्रस्य यदुनायकः । नृसिंहो भूमिपुत्रस्य बुद्धः सोमसुतस्य च

rāmo'vatāraḥ sūryasya candrasya yadunāyakaḥ | nṛsiṃho bhūmiputrasya buddhaḥ somasutasya ca

Rāma is the incarnation of the Sun; the Lord of the Yadus ⟨Kṛṣṇa⟩ of the Moon; Nṛsiṃha of the Son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩; and Buddha of the Son of Soma ⟨Mercury⟩.

वामनो विबुधेज्यस्य भार्गवो भार्गवस्य च । कूर्मो भास्करपुत्रस्य सैंहिकेयस्य सूकरः

vāmano vibudhejyasya bhārgavo bhārgavasya ca | kūrmo bhāskaraputrasya saiṃhikeyasya sūkaraḥ

Vāmana ⟨is the incarnation⟩ of the one the gods worship ⟨Jupiter⟩; Bhārgava ⟨Paraśurāma⟩ of Bhārgava ⟨Venus⟩; Kūrma ⟨the Tortoise⟩ of the Son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩; and Sūkara ⟨the Boar⟩ of the son of Siṃhikā ⟨Rāhu⟩.

केतोर्मीनावतारश्च ये चान्ये तेऽपि खेटजाः । परात्मांशोऽधिको येषु ते सर्वे खेचराभिधाः

ketormīnāvatāraśca ye cānye te'pi kheṭajāḥ | parātmāṃśo'dhiko yeṣu te sarve khecarābhidhāḥ

And the Fish incarnation ⟨Matsya⟩ is Ketu's; and whatever others there are, they too are born of the kheṭas ⟨grahas⟩. Those in whom the portion of the Supreme Self is the greater — all of them are called khecaras ⟨sky-goers, i.e. the grahas⟩.

जीवांशोह्यधिको येषु जीवास्ते वै प्रकीर्तिताः । सूर्यादिभ्यो ग्रहेभ्यश्च परमात्मांशनिःसृताः

jīvāṃśohyadhiko yeṣu jīvāste vai prakīrtitāḥ | sūryādibhyo grahebhyaśca paramātmāṃśaniḥsṛtāḥ

Those in whom the portion of the jīva is the greater are declared to be jīvas ⟨individual souls⟩. And from the grahas beginning with the Sun ⟨these⟩ have issued forth as portions of the Supreme Self.

रामकृष्णादयः सर्वे ह्यवतारा भवन्ति वै । तत्रैव ते विलीयन्ते पुनः कार्योत्तरे सदा

rāmakṛṣṇādayaḥ sarve hyavatārā bhavanti vai | tatraiva te vilīyante punaḥ kāryottare sadā

Rāma, Kṛṣṇa and all the rest do indeed become incarnations; and into that very ⟨source⟩ they dissolve again, always once the task ⟨is done⟩.

जीवांशनिःसृतास्तेषां तेभ्यो जाता नरादयः । तेऽपि तत्रैव लीयन्ते तेऽव्यक्ते समयन्ति हि

jīvāṃśaniḥsṛtāsteṣāṃ tebhyo jātā narādayaḥ | te'pi tatraiva līyante te'vyakte samayanti hi

⟨Those⟩ that issued from their portion of the jīva — from them were born men and the rest. They too dissolve into that very ⟨source⟩; they come to rest in the unmanifest (avyakta).

इदं ते कथितं विप्र सर्वं यस्मिन् भवेदिति । भूतान्यपि भविष्यन्ति तत्तज्जानन्ति तद्विदः

idaṃ te kathitaṃ vipra sarvaṃ yasmin bhavediti | bhūtānyapi bhaviṣyanti tattajjānanti tadvidaḥ

All this has been told to you, O brāhmaṇa — ⟨that⟩ in whom it all comes to be. Things past also, and things that shall be — the knowers of that ⟨science⟩ know them one by one.

विना तज्ज्यैतिषं नान्यो ज्ञातुं शक्नोति कर्हिचित् । तत्मादवश्यमध्येयं ब्राह्मणेश्च विशेषतः

vinā tajjyaitiṣaṃ nānyo jñātuṃ śaknoti karhicit | tatmādavaśyamadhyeyaṃ brāhmaṇeśca viśeṣataḥ

Without that jyotiṣa no one else is ever able to know ⟨these things⟩. Therefore it must without fail be studied — and by brāhmaṇas especially.

यो नरः शास्त्रमज्ञात्वा ज्यौतिषं खलु निन्दति । रौरवं नरकं भुक्त्वा चान्धत्वं चान्यजन्मनि

yo naraḥ śāstramajñātvā jyautiṣaṃ khalu nindati | rauravaṃ narakaṃ bhuktvā cāndhatvaṃ cānyajanmani

The man who, not having known the śāstra, yet reviles jyotiṣa — he, having undergone the Raurava hell, ⟨is born⟩ blind in another birth.

कथितं भवता प्रेम्णा ग्रहावतरणं मुने । तेषां गुणस्वरूपाद्यं कृपया कथ्यतां पुनः ॥ १ ॥

kathitaṃ bhavatā premṇā grahāvataraṇaṃ mune | teṣāṃ guṇasvarūpādyaṃ kṛpayā kathyatāṃ punaḥ || 1 ||

The descent of the grahas has been told by you out of affection, O sage. Of these, let the qualities, forms and the rest be told further, graciously.

शृणु विप्र प्रवक्ष्यामि भग्रहाणां परिस्थितिम् । आकाशे यानि दृश्यन्ते ज्योतिर्बिम्बान्यनेकशः ॥ २ ॥

śṛṇu vipra pravakṣyāmi bhagrahāṇāṃ paristhitim | ākāśe yāni dṛśyante jyotirbimbānyanekaśaḥ || 2 ||

Listen, O brahman: I shall declare the disposition of the asterisms and the grahas. The luminous orbs which are seen in the sky, manifold —

तेषु नक्षत्रसंज्ञानि ग्रहसंज्ञानि कानिचित् । तानि नक्षत्रनामानि स्थिरस्थानानि यानि वै ॥ ३ ॥

teṣu nakṣatrasaṃjñāni grahasaṃjñāni kānicit | tāni nakṣatranāmāni sthirasthānāni yāni vai || 3 ||

— among them, some bear the designation nakṣatra, some the designation graha. Those which have fixed stations are the ones that bear nakṣatra names.

गच्छन्तो भानि गृह्णन्ति सततं ये तु ते ग्रहाः । भचक्रस्य नगाश्व्यंशा अश्विन्यादिसमाह्वयाः ॥ ४ ॥

gacchanto bhāni gṛhṇanti satataṃ ye tu te grahāḥ | bhacakrasya nagāśvyaṃśā aśvinyādisamāhvayāḥ || 4 ||

But those which, moving, seize the asterisms continually — those are the grahas. The twenty-seven divisions of the asterism-circle are named Aśvinī and the rest.

तद्द्वादशविभागास्तु तुल्या मेषादिसंज्ञकाः । प्रसिद्धा राशयः सन्ति ग्रहास्त्वर्कादिसंज्ञकाः ॥ ५ ॥

taddvādaśavibhāgāstu tulyā meṣādisaṃjñakāḥ | prasiddhā rāśayaḥ santi grahāstvarkādisaṃjñakāḥ || 5 ||

But its twelve divisions, equal, are the well-known signs designated Aries (Meṣa) and the rest; and the grahas are designated the Sun (Arka) and the rest.

राशीनामुदयो लग्नं तद्वशादेव जन्मिनाम् । ग्रहयोगवियोगाभ्यां फलं चिन्त्यं शुभाशुभम् ॥ ६ ॥

rāśīnāmudayo lagnaṃ tadvaśādeva janminām | grahayogaviyogābhyāṃ phalaṃ cintyaṃ śubhāśubham || 6 ||

The rising of the signs is the ascendant. On the basis of that very ⟨ascendant⟩, through the conjunction and separation of the planets, the auspicious and inauspicious results of those born are to be judged.

संज्ञा नक्षत्रवृन्दानां ज्ञेयाः सामान्यशास्त्रतः । एतच्छास्त्रानुसारेण राशिखेटफलं ब्रुवे ॥ ७ ॥

saṃjñā nakṣatravṛndānāṃ jñeyāḥ sāmānyaśāstrataḥ | etacchāstrānusāreṇa rāśikheṭaphalaṃ bruve || 7 ||

The designations of the hosts of nakṣatras are to be known from the general śāstra. In accordance with this śāstra I declare the results of the signs and the planets.

यस्मिन् काले यतः खेटा यान्ति दृग्गणितैकताम् । तत एव स्फुटाः कार्याः दिक्कालौ च स्फुटौ विदा ॥ ८ ॥

yasmin kāle yataḥ kheṭā yānti dṛggaṇitaikatām | tata eva sphuṭāḥ kāryāḥ dikkālau ca sphuṭau vidā || 8 ||

At whatever time, and from whatever ⟨source⟩, the planets reach agreement between observation and calculation, from that very ⟨source⟩ they are to be made true by one who knows, and direction and time ⟨made⟩ accurate.

स्वस्वदेशोद्भवैः साध्यं लग्नं राश्युदयैः स्फुटम् । अथादौ वच्मि खेटानां जातिरूपगुणानहम् ॥ ९ ॥

svasvadeśodbhavaiḥ sādhyaṃ lagnaṃ rāśyudayaiḥ sphuṭam | athādau vacmi kheṭānāṃ jātirūpaguṇānaham || 9 ||

The true ascendant is to be computed from the signs' rising ⟨times⟩ as they arise at each one's own place. Now, to begin, I state the castes, forms and qualities of the planets.

अथ खेटा रविश्चन्द्रो मङ्गलश्च बुधस्तथा । गुरुः शुक्रः शनी राहुः केतुश्चैते यथाक्रमम् ॥ १० ॥

atha kheṭā raviścandro maṅgalaśca budhastathā | guruḥ śukraḥ śanī rāhuḥ ketuścaite yathākramam || 10 ||

Now the planets: the Sun and the Moon, and Mars, and Mercury likewise; Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rāhu and Ketu — these, in due order.

तत्रार्कशनिभूपुत्राः क्षीणेन्दुराहुकेतवः । क्रूराः शेषग्रहा सौम्याः क्रूरः क्रूरयुतो बुधः ॥ ११ ॥

tatrārkaśanibhūputrāḥ kṣīṇendurāhuketavaḥ | krūrāḥ śeṣagrahā saumyāḥ krūraḥ krūrayuto budhaḥ || 11 ||

Among them, the Sun, Saturn and Mars, the waned Moon, Rāhu and Ketu are malefic; the remaining planets are benefic. Mercury joined with a malefic is malefic.

सर्वात्मा च दिवानाथो मनः कुमुदबान्धवः । सत्त्वं कुजो बुधैः प्रोक्तो बुधो वाणीप्रदायकः ॥ १२ ॥

sarvātmā ca divānātho manaḥ kumudabāndhavaḥ | sattvaṃ kujo budhaiḥ prokto budho vāṇīpradāyakaḥ || 12 ||

And the lord of day [the Sun] is the self of all; the kinsman of the night-lotus [the Moon] is the mind. Mars is declared by the wise to be strength; Mercury is the giver of speech.

देवेज्यो ज्ञानसुखदो भृगुर्वीर्यप्रदायकः । ऋषिभिः प्राक्तनैः प्रोक्तश्छायासूनुश्च दुःखदः ॥ १३ ॥

devejyo jñānasukhado bhṛgurvīryapradāyakaḥ | ṛṣibhiḥ prāktanaiḥ proktaśchāyāsūnuśca duḥkhadaḥ || 13 ||

Jupiter is the giver of knowledge and happiness; Venus, the giver of virility; and Saturn is declared by the seers of old to be the giver of sorrow.

रविचन्द्रौ तु राजानौ नेता ज्ञेयो धरात्मजः । बुधो राजकुमारश्च सचिवौ गुरुभार्गवौ ॥ १४ ॥

ravicandrau tu rājānau netā jñeyo dharātmajaḥ | budho rājakumāraśca sacivau gurubhārgavau || 14 ||

The Sun and the Moon are the two kings; the Earth's son [Mars] is to be known as the leader; Mercury is the prince; Jupiter and Bhṛgu's son [Venus] are the two ministers.

प्रेष्यको रविपुत्रश्च सेना स्वर्भानुपुच्छकौ । एवं क्रमेण वै विप्र सूर्यादीन् प्रविचिन्तयेत् ॥ १५ ॥

preṣyako raviputraśca senā svarbhānupucchakau | evaṃ krameṇa vai vipra sūryādīn pravicintayet || 15 ||

And the Sun's son [Saturn] is the servant; Rāhu and the Tail [Ketu] are the army. Thus, in order, O brahmin, one should consider ⟨the planets⟩ beginning with the Sun.

रक्तश्यामो दिवाधीशो गौरगात्रो निशाकरः । नात्युच्चाङ्गः कुजो रक्तो दूर्वाश्यामो बुधस्तथा ॥ १६ ॥

raktaśyāmo divādhīśo gauragātro niśākaraḥ | nātyuccāṅgaḥ kujo rakto dūrvāśyāmo budhastathā || 16 ||

The day's lord [the Sun] is red-dark; the night-maker [the Moon] is fair-limbed; Mars is not very tall of body, and red; and Mercury is dark as dūrvā grass.

गौरगात्रो गुरुर्ज्ञेयः शुक्रः श्यावस्तथैव च । कृष्णदेहो रवेः पुत्रो ज्ञायते द्विजसत्तम ॥ १७ ॥

gauragātro gururjñeyaḥ śukraḥ śyāvastathaiva ca | kṛṣṇadeho raveḥ putro jñāyate dvijasattama || 17 ||

Jupiter is to be known as fair-limbed, and Venus likewise as brown; the Sun's son [Saturn] is known to be black-bodied, O best of the twice-born.

वह्न्यम्बुशिखिजा विष्णुविडौजः शचिका द्विज । सूर्यादीनां खगानां च देवा ज्ञेयाः क्रमेण च ॥ १८ ॥

vahnyambuśikhijā viṣṇuviḍaujaḥ śacikā dvija | sūryādīnāṃ khagānāṃ ca devā jñeyāḥ krameṇa ca || 18 ||

Fire, Water, the Fire-born [Kārttikeya], Viṣṇu, Viḍaujas [Indra], Śacī and Ka [Brahmā], O twice-born: these are to be known, in order, as the deities of the sky-goers beginning with the Sun.

क्लीवौ द्वौ सौम्यसौरी च युवतीन्दुभृगू द्विज । नराः शेषाश्च विज्ञेया भानुर्भौमो गुरुस्तथा ॥ १९ ॥

klīvau dvau saumyasaurī ca yuvatīndubhṛgū dvija | narāḥ śeṣāśca vijñeyā bhānurbhaumo gurustathā || 19 ||

Mercury and Saturn are the two neuters, O twice-born; the Moon and Venus are young women; the rest are to be known as men — the Sun, Mars and Jupiter.

अग्निभूमिनभस्तोयवायवः क्रमतो द्विज । भौमादीनां ग्रहाणां च तत्त्वानीति यथाक्रमम् ॥ २० ॥

agnibhūminabhastoyavāyavaḥ kramato dvija | bhaumādīnāṃ grahāṇāṃ ca tattvānīti yathākramam || 20 ||

Fire, earth, sky, water, air, in order, O twice-born: these are the elements of the planets beginning with Mars, in that same order.

गुरुशुक्रौ विप्रवर्णौ कुजार्कौ क्षत्रियौ द्विज । शशिसौम्यौ वैश्यवर्णौ शनिः शूद्रो द्विजोत्तम ॥ २१ ॥

guruśukrau vipravarṇau kujārkau kṣatriyau dvija | śaśisaumyau vaiśyavarṇau śaniḥ śūdro dvijottama || 21 ||

Jupiter and Venus are of brahmin class; Mars and the Sun are kṣatriyas, O twice-born; the Moon and Mercury are of vaiśya class; Saturn is a śūdra, O best of the twice-born.

जीवसूर्येन्दवः सत्त्वं बुधशुक्रौ रजस्तथा । सूर्यपुत्रधरापुत्रौ तमःप्रकृतिकौ द्विज ॥ २२ ॥

meṣe'rkāṃśāstu bhaumasya trikoṇamapare svabham | uccaṃ budhasya kanyāyāmuktaṃ pañcadaśāṃśakāḥ ||52||

But in Aries, twelve degrees for Mars are the trikoṇa (mūlatrikoṇa); the rest, its own sign. Mercury's exaltation, in Virgo, is stated as fifteen degrees.

From ⟨a graha's⟩ own trikoṇa (the mūlatrikoṇa sign), the lords of the 4th (sukha), the 2nd (sva), the 12th (antya), the 5th (dhī), the 9th (dharma) and the 8th (āyus), and the lord of its own exaltation ⟨sign⟩, are ⟨its⟩ friends; the others are enemies; and those that bear both marks are neutral.

दशबन्ध्वायसहजस्वान्त्यस्थास्ते परस्परम् । तत्काले मित्रतां यान्ति रिपवोऽन्यत्र संस्थिताः ॥५६॥

daśabandhvāyasahajasvāntyasthāste parasparam | tatkāle mitratāṃ yānti ripavo'nyatra saṃsthitāḥ ||56||

Those standing from one another in the tenth, the fourth, the eleventh, the third, the second and the twelfth — they attain friendship at that time; those standing elsewhere, enemies.

तत्काले च निसर्गे च मित्रं चेदधिमित्रकम् । मित्रं मित्रसमत्वे तु शत्रुः शत्रुसमत्वके ॥५७॥

tatkāle ca nisarge ca mitraṃ cedadhimitrakam | mitraṃ mitrasamatve tu śatruḥ śatrusamatvake ||57||

If [a graha is] a friend both at that time and by nature — a greater friend. But in friend-and-neutral, a friend; in enemy-and-neutral, an enemy.

समो मित्ररिपुत्वे तु शत्रुत्वे त्वधिशत्रुता । एवं विविच्य दैवज्ञो जातकस्य फलं वदेत् ॥५८॥

samo mitrariputve tu śatrutve tvadhiśatrutā | evaṃ vivicya daivajño jātakasya phalaṃ vadet ||58||

In friend-and-enemy, neutral; but in enmity [on both reckonings], greater enmity. Having discriminated thus, the astrologer should declare the native's result.

स्वोच्चे शुभं फलं पूर्णं त्रिकोणे पादवर्जितम् । स्वर्क्षेऽर्धं मित्रगेहे तु पादमात्रं प्रकीर्तितम् ॥५९॥

svocce śubhaṃ phalaṃ pūrṇaṃ trikoṇe pādavarjitam | svarkṣe'rdhaṃ mitragehe tu pādamātraṃ prakīrtitam ||59||

In ⟨a graha's⟩ own exaltation the auspicious result ⟨is⟩ full; in the trikoṇa (mūlatrikoṇa), less a quarter; in its own sign, half; but in a friend's sign, only a quarter is declared.

पादार्धं समभे प्रोक्तं शून्यं नीचास्तशत्रुभे । तद्वद्दुष्टफलं ब्रूयाद् व्यत्ययेन विचक्षणः ॥६०॥

pādārdhaṃ samabhe proktaṃ śūnyaṃ nīcāstaśatrubhe | tadvadduṣṭaphalaṃ brūyād vyatyayena vicakṣaṇaḥ ||60||

In the sign of ⟨its⟩ neutral, half a quarter ⟨of the auspicious result⟩ is declared; in the sign of debilitation, of setting (combustion), or of an enemy, nil. Likewise the discerning one should declare the evil result in reverse.

त्र्यंशाढ्यविश्वभागैश्च चतुर्भिः सहितो रविः । धूमो नाम महादोषः सर्वकर्मविनाशकः ॥ ६१ ॥

tryaṃśāḍhyaviśvabhāgaiśca caturbhiḥ sahito raviḥ | dhūmo nāma mahādoṣaḥ sarvakarmavināśakaḥ || 61 ||

The Sun together with four ⟨signs⟩ and thirteen degrees augmented by a third ⟨of a degree⟩: the great blemish named Dhūma, destroyer of every act.

धूमो मण्डलतः शुद्धो व्यतीपातोऽत्र दोषदः । सषड्भोऽत्र व्यतीपातः परिवेषोऽतिदोषकृत् ॥ ६२ ॥

dhūmo maṇḍalataḥ śuddho vyatīpāto'tra doṣadaḥ | saṣaḍbho'tra vyatīpātaḥ pariveṣo'tidoṣakṛt || 62 ||

Dhūma subtracted from the circle: Vyatīpāta (the upagraha), here a giver of blemish. Vyatīpāta here together with six signs: Pariveṣa (the upagraha), a worker of exceeding blemish.

परिवेषश्च्युतश्चक्रादिन्द्रचापस्तु दोषदः । वित्र्यंशात्यष्टिभागाढ्यश्चापः केतुखगोऽशुभः ॥ ६३ ॥

pariveṣaścyutaścakrādindracāpastu doṣadaḥ | vitryaṃśātyaṣṭibhāgāḍhyaścāpaḥ ketukhago'śubhaḥ || 63 ||

Pariveṣa subtracted from the wheel: Indracāpa, and it too a giver of blemish. The Cāpa (Indracāpa) augmented by seventeen degrees less a third ⟨of a degree⟩: Upaketu (ketu), an inauspicious planet.

एकराशियुतः केतुः सूर्यतुल्यः प्रजायते । अप्रकाशग्रहाश्चैते पापा दोषप्रदाः स्मृताः ॥ ६४ ॥

ekarāśiyutaḥ ketuḥ sūryatulyaḥ prajāyate | aprakāśagrahāścaite pāpā doṣapradāḥ smṛtāḥ || 64 ||

Upaketu (ketu) increased by one sign comes out equal to the Sun. And these are recorded as the lightless planets (upagrahas), malefic, bestowers of blemish.

सूर्येन्दुलग्नगेष्वेषु वंशायुर्ज्ञाननाशनम् । इति धूमादिदोषाणां स्थितिः पद्मासनोदिता ॥ ६५ ॥

sūryendulagnageṣveṣu vaṃśāyurjñānanāśanam | iti dhūmādidoṣāṇāṃ sthitiḥ padmāsanoditā || 65 ||

These standing with the Sun, with the Moon, in the ascendant: destruction of lineage, of lifespan, of knowledge. Thus the disposition of the blemishes beginning with Dhūma, as declared by the Lotus-seated ⟨Brahmā⟩.

रविवारादिशन्यन्तं गुलिकादि निरूप्यते । दिवसानष्टधा भक्त्वा वारेशाद् गणयेत् क्रमात् ॥ ६६ ॥

ravivārādiśanyantaṃ gulikādi nirūpyate | divasānaṣṭadhā bhaktvā vāreśād gaṇayet kramāt || 66 ||

From Sunday through to Saturday (Saturn's day), Gulika and the rest are set forth. Having divided the daytime eightfold, one should count in order from the lord of the weekday.

अष्टमोंऽशो निरीशः स्याच्छन्यंशो गुलिकः स्मृतः । रात्रिमप्यष्टधा कृत्वा वारेशात् पञ्चमादितः ॥ ६७ ॥

aṣṭamoṃ'śo nirīśaḥ syācchanyaṃśo gulikaḥ smṛtaḥ | rātrimapyaṣṭadhā kṛtvā vāreśāt pañcamāditaḥ || 67 ||

The eighth portion is to be without a lord; Saturn's portion is recorded as Gulika. Having made the night eightfold as well, from the fifth reckoned from the lord of the weekday —

गणयेदष्टमः खण्डो निष्पतिः परिकीर्तितः । शन्यंशो गुलिकः प्रोक्तो रव्यंशः कालसंज्ञकः ॥ ६८ ॥

gaṇayedaṣṭamaḥ khaṇḍo niṣpatiḥ parikīrtitaḥ | śanyaṃśo gulikaḥ prokto ravyaṃśaḥ kālasaṃjñakaḥ || 68 ||

— one should count: the eighth segment is proclaimed to be without a lord. Saturn's portion is called Gulika; the Sun's portion bears the name Kāla.

भौमांशो मृत्युरादिष्टो गुर्वंशो यमघण्टकः । सौम्यांशोऽर्धप्रहरकः स्वस्वदेशोद्भवः स्फुटः ॥ ६९ ॥

bhaumāṃśo mṛtyurādiṣṭo gurvaṃśo yamaghaṇṭakaḥ | saumyāṃśo'rdhapraharakaḥ svasvadeśodbhavaḥ sphuṭaḥ || 69 ||

Mars' portion is taught to be Mṛtyu, Jupiter's portion Yamaghaṇṭaka, Mercury's portion Ardhapraharaka; the true one is that which arises in each one's own region.

गुलिकेष्टवशाल्लग्नं स्फुटं यत् स्वस्वदेशजम् । गुलिकं प्रोच्यते तस्माज्जातकस्य फलं वदेत् ॥ ७० ॥

gulikeṣṭavaśāllagnaṃ sphuṭaṃ yat svasvadeśajam | gulikaṃ procyate tasmājjātakasya phalaṃ vadet || 70 ||

The true ascendant, born of each one's own region, which comes about by force of Gulika's given time (iṣṭa) — that is called Gulika; from it one should declare the native's result.

स्वेष्टकालं पलीकृत्य तिथ्याप्तं भादिकं च यत् । चरागद्विभसंस्थेऽर्के भानौ युङ् नवमे सुते ॥ ७२ ॥

sveṣṭakālaṃ palīkṛtya tithyāptaṃ bhādikaṃ ca yat | carāgadvibhasaṃsthe'rke bhānau yuṅ navame sute || 72 ||

Having made one's own given time into palas, and whatever is obtained from it on division by fifteen (tithi), as signs and the rest — the Sun standing in a movable, in a fixed, in a dual sign: added to the Sun, to the 9th, to the 5th (suta) —

अहोरात्रस्य पूर्वान्त्यलोपाद् होराऽवशिष्यते । तस्य विज्ञानमात्रेण जातकर्मफलं वदेत्

ahorātrasya pūrvāntyalopād horā'vaśiṣyate | tasya vijñānamātreṇa jātakarmaphalaṃ vadet

From ahorātra ⟨'a day and a night'⟩, by the loss of the first and the last ⟨syllables⟩, horā is what remains. By the knowledge of that alone one may declare the fruit of the deeds of the one born.

यदव्यक्तात्मको विष्णुः कालरूपो जनार्दनः । तस्याङ्गानि निबोध त्वं क्रमान्मेषादिराश्यः

yadavyaktātmako viṣṇuḥ kālarūpo janārdanaḥ | tasyāṅgāni nibodha tvaṃ kramānmeṣādirāśyaḥ

Viṣṇu, whose self is the unmanifest, is Janārdana in the form of Time; know you his limbs — they are, in order, the rāśis beginning with Meṣa.

शीर्षानने तथा बाहू हृत्क्रोडकटिबस्तयः । गुह्योरुयुगले जानुयुग्मे वै जङ्घके तथा

śīrṣānane tathā bāhū hṛtkroḍakaṭibastayaḥ | guhyoruyugale jānuyugme vai jaṅghake tathā

The head and the face, then the two arms; the heart, the belly, the waist and the pubic region; the privities and the pair of thighs, the pair of knees, and likewise the two shanks —

चरनौ द्वौ तथा मेषात् ज्ञेयाः शीर्षादयः क्रमात् । चरस्थिरद्विस्वभावाः क्रूराक्रूरौ नरस्त्रियौ

caranau dvau tathā meṣāt jñeyāḥ śīrṣādayaḥ kramāt | carasthiradvisvabhāvāḥ krūrākrūrau narastriyau

— and the two feet: thus, from Meṣa onward, ⟨the limbs⟩ beginning with the head are to be known in order. ⟨The rāśis are⟩ movable, fixed and dual-natured ⟨in that repeating sequence⟩, malefic and benign ⟨by alternation⟩, male and female.

पित्तानिलत्रिधात्वौक्यश्लेष्मिकाश्च क्रियादयः । रक्तवर्णो बृहद्गात्रश्चतुष्पाद्रात्रिविक्रमी

The rāśis beginning with Kriyā ⟨Meṣa⟩ are, ⟨in a series of four that repeats⟩, bilious, windy, of the three humours united, and phlegmatic. ⟨Meṣa is⟩ red in colour, large of body, four-footed, and mighty at night;

पूर्ववासी नृपज्ञातिः शैलचारी रजोगुणी । पृष्ठोदयी पावकी च मेषराशिः कुजाधिपः

pūrvavāsī nṛpajñātiḥ śailacārī rajoguṇī | pṛṣṭhodayī pāvakī ca meṣarāśiḥ kujādhipaḥ

— dwelling in the east, of kingly kin ⟨kṣatriya⟩, ranging the hills, of the rajas quality, back-rising, and of fire: such is the Meṣa rāśi, whose lord is Kuja ⟨Mars⟩.

श्वेतः शुक्राधिपो दीर्घश्चतुष्पाच्छर्वरीबली । याम्येट् ग्राम्यो वणिग्भूमिरजः पृष्ठोदयो वृषः

śvetaḥ śukrādhipo dīrghaścatuṣpāccharvarībalī | yāmyeṭ grāmyo vaṇigbhūmirajaḥ pṛṣṭhodayo vṛṣaḥ

Vṛṣa is white, lorded by Śukra ⟨Venus⟩, long ⟨of body⟩, four-footed, strong at night, lord of the south, of the village, a merchant ⟨vaiśya⟩, of earth, of rajas, and back-rising.

शीर्षोदयी नृमिथुनं सगदं च सवीणकम् । प्रत्यग्वायुर्द्विपाद्रात्रिबली ग्रामव्रजोऽनिली

śīrṣodayī nṛmithunaṃ sagadaṃ ca savīṇakam | pratyagvāyurdvipādrātribalī grāmavrajo'nilī

Mithuna is head-rising, a human pair — ⟨the man⟩ with a mace and ⟨the woman⟩ with a lute; of the west, airy, two-footed, strong at night, frequenting villages, and of the wind.

समगात्रो हरिद्वर्णो मिथुनाख्यो बुधाधिपः । पाटलो वनचारी च ब्राह्मणो निशि वीर्यवान्

samagātro haridvarṇo mithunākhyo budhādhipaḥ | pāṭalo vanacārī ca brāhmaṇo niśi vīryavān

— of even body, green in colour, named Mithuna, lorded by Budha ⟨Mercury⟩. ⟨Karka is⟩ pale red, forest-ranging, a brāhmaṇa, and mighty by night;

बहुपादचरः स्थौल्यतनुः सत्त्वगुणी जली । पृष्ठोदयी कर्कराशिर्मृगाङ्काऽधिपतिः स्मृतः

bahupādacaraḥ sthaulyatanuḥ sattvaguṇī jalī | pṛṣṭhodayī karkarāśirmṛgāṅkā'dhipatiḥ smṛtaḥ

— moving on many feet, stout of body, of the sattva quality, watery, back-rising: such is the Karka rāśi, whose lord is declared to be Mṛgāṅka ⟨the Moon⟩.

सिंहः सूर्याधिपः सत्त्वी चतुष्पात् क्षत्रियो वनी । शीर्षोदयी बृहद्गात्रःपाण्डुः पूर्वेड् द्युवीर्यवान्

siṃhaḥ sūryādhipaḥ sattvī catuṣpāt kṣatriyo vanī | śīrṣodayī bṛhadgātraḥpāṇḍuḥ pūrveḍ dyuvīryavān

Siṃha is lorded by Sūrya ⟨the Sun⟩, of sattva, four-footed, a kṣatriya, forest-dwelling, head-rising, large of body, pale ⟨tawny-white⟩, lord of the east, and strong by day.

पार्वतीयाथ कन्याख्या राशिर्दिनबलान्विता । शीर्षोदया च मध्याङ्गा द्विपाद्याम्यचरा च सा

pārvatīyātha kanyākhyā rāśirdinabalānvitā | śīrṣodayā ca madhyāṅgā dvipādyāmyacarā ca sā

Next, the rāśi named Kanyā is mountain-dwelling, endowed with strength by day, head-rising, of middling limbs, two-footed, and ranging in the south.

सा सस्यदहना वैश्या चित्रवर्णा प्रभञ्जिनी । कुमारी तमसा युक्ता बालभावा बुधाधिपा

sā sasyadahanā vaiśyā citravarṇā prabhañjinī | kumārī tamasā yuktā bālabhāvā budhādhipā

She ⟨holds⟩ grain and fire, is a vaiśya, variegated in colour, windy; a maiden, joined with tamas, of youthful bearing, and lorded by Budha ⟨Mercury⟩.

शीर्षोदयी द्युवीर्याढ्यस्तुलः कृष्णो रजोगुणी । पश्चिमो भूचरो घाती शूद्रो मध्यतनुर्द्विपात्

śīrṣodayī dyuvīryāḍhyastulaḥ kṛṣṇo rajoguṇī | paścimo bhūcaro ghātī śūdro madhyatanurdvipāt

Tulā is head-rising, rich in strength by day, black, of rajas, of the west, earth-going, murderous, a śūdra, of middling body, and two-footed;

शुक्राऽधिपोऽथ स्वल्पाङ्गो बहुपाद्ब्राह्मणो बिली । सौम्यस्थो दिनवीर्याढ्यः पिशङ्गो जलभूवहः

śukrā'dhipo'tha svalpāṅgo bahupādbrāhmaṇo bilī | saumyastho dinavīryāḍhyaḥ piśaṅgo jalabhūvahaḥ

— and lorded by Śukra ⟨Venus⟩. Then ⟨Vṛścika is⟩ small-limbed, many-footed, a brāhmaṇa, dwelling in holes, standing in the north, rich in strength by day, tawny, and moving both in water and on land;

रोमस्वाढ्योऽतितीक्ष्णाग्रो वृश्चिकश्च कुजाधिपः । पृष्ठोदयी त्वथ धनुर्गुरुस्वामी च सात्त्विकः

romasvāḍhyo'titīkṣṇāgro vṛścikaśca kujādhipaḥ | pṛṣṭhodayī tvatha dhanurgurusvāmī ca sāttvikaḥ

— abounding in hair and exceedingly sharp at the tip ⟨of its sting⟩: such is Vṛścika, whose lord is Kuja ⟨Mars⟩. Now Dhanus is back-rising, has Guru ⟨Jupiter⟩ for its lord, and is sāttvika;

पिङ्गलो निशिवीर्याढ्यः पावकः क्षत्रियो द्विपात् । आदावन्ते चतुष्पादः समगात्रो धनुर्धरः

piṅgalo niśivīryāḍhyaḥ pāvakaḥ kṣatriyo dvipāt | ādāvante catuṣpādaḥ samagātro dhanurdharaḥ

— tawny, rich in strength at night, fiery, a kṣatriya, two-footed at the beginning and four-footed at the end, of even body, and bearing a bow;

पूर्वस्थो वसुधाचारी तेजस्वी ब्रह्मणा कृतः । मन्दाधिपस्तमी भौमी याम्येट् च निशि वीर्यवान्

pūrvastho vasudhācārī tejasvī brahmaṇā kṛtaḥ | mandādhipastamī bhaumī yāmyeṭ ca niśi vīryavān

— standing in the east, ranging over the earth, lustrous, and made by Brahmā. ⟨Makara is⟩ lorded by Manda ⟨Saturn⟩, of tamas, of earth, lord of the south, and mighty at night;

पृष्ठोदयी बृहद्गात्रः कर्बुरो वनभूचरः । आदौ चतुष्पदोन्ते तु विपदो जलगो मतः

pṛṣṭhodayī bṛhadgātraḥ karburo vanabhūcaraḥ | ādau catuṣpadonte tu vipado jalago mataḥ

— back-rising, large of body, mottled in colour, ranging in forest and on land; four-footed at the beginning, but at the end footless and water-going: so it is held.

कुम्भः कुम्भी नरो बभ्रुवर्णो मध्यतनुर्द्विपात् । द्युवीर्यो जलमध्यस्थो वातशीर्षोदयी तमः

kumbhaḥ kumbhī naro babhruvarṇo madhyatanurdvipāt | dyuvīryo jalamadhyastho vātaśīrṣodayī tamaḥ

Kumbha is a man bearing a pot, tawny-brown in colour, of middling body, two-footed, strong by day, standing in the midst of water, of wind, head-rising, and of tamas;

शूद्रः पश्चिमदेशस्य स्वामी दैवाकरिः स्मृतः । मीनौ पुच्छास्यसंलग्नौ मीनराशिर्दिवाबली

śūdraḥ paścimadeśasya svāmī daivākariḥ smṛtaḥ | mīnau pucchāsyasaṃlagnau mīnarāśirdivābalī

— a śūdra, and lord of the western region; it is held to be Daivākari's ⟨Saturn's, the Sun's son's⟩. Mīna: two fishes joined tail to mouth; the Mīna rāśi is strong by day,

जली सत्त्वगुणाढ्यश्च स्वस्थो जलचरो द्विजः । अपदो मध्यदेही च सौम्यस्थो ह्युभयोदयी

jalī sattvaguṇāḍhyaśca svastho jalacaro dvijaḥ | apado madhyadehī ca saumyastho hyubhayodayī

— watery, rich in the sattva quality, self-abiding, water-moving, twice-born ⟨a brāhmaṇa⟩, footless, of middling body, standing in the north, and indeed rising both ways;

सुराचार्याधिपश्चेति राशीनां गदिता गुणाः । त्रिंशद्भागात्मकानां च स्थूलसूक्ष्मफलाय च

surācāryādhipaśceti rāśīnāṃ gaditā guṇāḥ | triṃśadbhāgātmakānāṃ ca sthūlasūkṣmaphalāya ca

— and its lord is Surācārya ⟨Jupiter⟩. Thus have the qualities of the rāśis, each consisting of thirty degrees, been declared, for ⟨the reading of⟩ gross and subtle results.

अथातः सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणुष्व मुनिपुङ्गव । जन्मलग्नं च संशोध्य निषेकं परिशोधयेत्

athātaḥ sampravakṣyāmi śṛṇuṣva munipuṅgava | janmalagnaṃ ca saṃśodhya niṣekaṃ pariśodhayet

Now next I shall declare — hear, O bull among sages: having rectified the birth lagna ⟨the ascendant at birth⟩, one should determine the niṣeka ⟨the moment of conception⟩.

तदहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि मैत्रेय त्वं विधारय । जन्मलग्नात् परिज्ञानं निषेकं सर्वजन्तु यत्

tadahaṃ sampravakṣyāmi maitreya tvaṃ vidhāraya | janmalagnāt parijñānaṃ niṣekaṃ sarvajantu yat

That I shall declare, Maitreya — do you hold it fast: the full knowledge of the niṣeka from the birth lagna, which ⟨holds⟩ for every creature.

यस्मिन् भावे स्थितो मन्दस्तस्य मान्देर्यदन्तरम् । लग्नभाग्यान्तरं योज्यं यच्च राश्यादि जायते

yasmin bhāve sthito mandastasya mānderyadantaram | lagnabhāgyāntaraṃ yojyaṃ yacca rāśyādi jāyate

In whichever bhāva ⟨house⟩ Manda ⟨Saturn⟩ stands, ⟨take⟩ the interval between that and Māndi ⟨Gulika⟩; the interval between the lagna and the bhāgya ⟨the 9th⟩ is to be added; and whatever ⟨sum⟩ in rāśis and the rest arises —

मासादि तन्मितं ज्ञेयं जन्मतः प्राक् निषेकजम् । यद्यदृश्यदलेङ्गेशस्तदेन्दोर्भुक्तभागयुक्

māsādi tanmitaṃ jñeyaṃ janmataḥ prāk niṣekajam | yadyadṛśyadaleṅgeśastadendorbhuktabhāgayuk

— that measure is to be known as the months and the rest before birth, reckoned from the niṣeka. If the lord of the lagna ⟨aṅgeśa⟩ is in the invisible half, then ⟨that sum is⟩ joined with the degrees the Moon has traversed.

तत्काले साधयेल्लग्नं शोधयेत् पूर्ववत्तनुम् । तस्माच्छुभाशुभं वाच्यं गर्भस्थस्य विशेषतः

tatkāle sādhayellagnaṃ śodhayet pūrvavattanum | tasmācchubhāśubhaṃ vācyaṃ garbhasthasya viśeṣataḥ

For that time one should work out the lagna and rectify the tanu ⟨the 1st house⟩ as before. From that the auspicious and the inauspicious are to be declared, especially of the one in the womb.

शुभाशुभं वदेत् पित्रोर्जीवनं मरणं तथा । एवं निषेकलग्नेन सम्यग् ज्ञेयं स्वकल्पनात्

śubhāśubhaṃ vadet pitrorjīvanaṃ maraṇaṃ tathā | evaṃ niṣekalagnena samyag jñeyaṃ svakalpanāt

One should declare the auspicious and the inauspicious for the parents, and likewise their life and their death. Thus, by the niṣeka lagna, ⟨all this⟩ is to be rightly known through one's own reckoning.

अथाहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि तवाग्रे द्विजसत्तम । भावहोराघटीसञ्ज्ञलग्नानीति पृथक् पृथक् ॥ १ ॥

athāhaṃ sampravakṣyāmi tavāgre dvijasattama | bhāvahorāghaṭīsañjñalagnānīti pṛthak pṛthak || 1 ||

Now I shall declare before you, O best of the twice-born, the ascendants named Bhāva, Horā and Ghaṭī — each one apart.

सूर्योदयं समारभ्य घटिकानां तु पञ्चकम् । प्रयाति जन्मपर्यन्तं भावलग्नं तदेव हि ॥ २ ॥

sūryodayaṃ samārabhya ghaṭikānāṃ tu pañcakam | prayāti janmaparyantaṃ bhāvalagnaṃ tadeva hi || 2 ||

Beginning from sunrise, [the ascendant] proceeds up to the birth by a set of five ghaṭikās; that itself is the Bhāva ascendant.

इष्टं घट्यादिकं भक्त्वा पञ्चभिर्भादिकं फलम् । योज्यमौदयिके सूर्ये भावलग्नं स्फुटं च तत् ॥ ३ ॥

iṣṭaṃ ghaṭyādikaṃ bhaktvā pañcabhirbhādikaṃ phalam | yojyamaudayike sūrye bhāvalagnaṃ sphuṭaṃ ca tat || 3 ||

Having divided the iṣṭa [time], reckoned in ghaṭīs and the rest, by five, the result in signs and the rest is to be joined to the Sun at sunrise; and that is the precise Bhāva ascendant.

तथा सार्धद्विघटिकामितादर्कोदयाद् द्विज । प्रयाति लग्नं तन्नाम होरालग्नं प्रचक्षते ॥ ४ ॥

tathā sārdhadvighaṭikāmitādarkodayād dvija | prayāti lagnaṃ tannāma horālagnaṃ pracakṣate || 4 ||

Likewise, O twice-born, the ascendant proceeds from sunrise at a measure of two and a half ghaṭikās; that by name they declare the Horā ascendant.

इष्टघट्यादिकं द्विघ्नं पञ्चाप्तं भादिकं च यत् । योज्यमौदयिके भानौ होरालग्नं स्फुटं हि तत् ॥ ५ ॥

iṣṭaghaṭyādikaṃ dvighnaṃ pañcāptaṃ bhādikaṃ ca yat | yojyamaudayike bhānau horālagnaṃ sphuṭaṃ hi tat || 5 ||

The iṣṭa [time] in ghaṭīs and the rest, doubled and divided by five — whatever [comes] in signs and the rest is to be joined to the Sun at sunrise; that indeed is the precise Horā ascendant.

कथयामि घटीलग्नं शृणु त्वं द्विजसत्तम । सूर्योदयात् समारभ्य जन्मकालावधि क्रमात् ॥ ६ ॥

kathayāmi ghaṭīlagnaṃ śṛṇu tvaṃ dvijasattama | sūryodayāt samārabhya janmakālāvadhi kramāt || 6 ||

I declare the Ghaṭī ascendant: hear it, O best of the twice-born. Beginning from sunrise, up to the time of birth, in order —

एकैकघटिकामानात् लग्नं यद्याति भादिकम् । तदेव घटिकालग्नं कथितं नारदादिभिः ॥ ७ ॥

ekaikaghaṭikāmānāt lagnaṃ yadyāti bhādikam | tadeva ghaṭikālagnaṃ kathitaṃ nāradādibhiḥ || 7 ||

— at a measure of one ghaṭikā each, the ascendant that goes on in signs and the rest: that itself is the Ghaṭikā ascendant, so declared by Nārada and the rest.

राशयस्तु घटीतुल्याः पलार्धप्रमितांशकाः । योज्यमौदयिके भानौ घटीलग्नं स्फुटं हि तत् ॥ ८ ॥

rāśayastu ghaṭītulyāḥ palārdhapramitāṃśakāḥ | yojyamaudayike bhānau ghaṭīlagnaṃ sphuṭaṃ hi tat || 8 ||

The signs [are] equal to the ghaṭīs, their degrees measured at half the palas; [that] is to be joined to the Sun at sunrise — that indeed is the precise Ghaṭī ascendant.

क्रमादेषां च लग्नानां भावकोष्ठं पृथक् लिखेत् । ये ग्रहा यत्र भे तत्र ते स्थाप्या राशिलग्नवत् ॥ ९ ॥

kramādeṣāṃ ca lagnānāṃ bhāvakoṣṭhaṃ pṛthak likhet | ye grahā yatra bhe tatra te sthāpyā rāśilagnavat || 9 ||

For these ascendants, in order, one should draw a separate house-diagram; whichever grahas [stand] in whichever sign, there they are to be placed, as with the sign-ascendant.

वर्णदाख्यदशां भानां कथयाम्यथ तेऽग्रतः । यस्य विज्ञानमात्रेण वदेदायुर्भवं फलम् ॥ १० ॥

varṇadākhyadaśāṃ bhānāṃ kathayāmyatha te'grataḥ | yasya vijñānamātreṇa vadedāyurbhavaṃ phalam || 10 ||

Next I shall declare before you the daśā called Varṇadā, which belongs to the signs, by the mere knowing of which one may state the result that arises regarding the life-span.

ओजलग्नप्रसूतानां मेषादेर्गणयेत् क्रमात् । समलग्नप्रसूतानां मीनादेरपसव्यतः ॥ ११ ॥

ojalagnaprasūtānāṃ meṣādergaṇayet kramāt | samalagnaprasūtānāṃ mīnāderapasavyataḥ || 11 ||

For those born under an odd ascendant one should count from Aries onward in the forward order; for those born under an even ascendant, from Pisces onward in the reverse.

मेषमीनादितो जन्मलग्नान्तं गणयेत् सुधीः । तथैव होरालग्नान्तं गणयित्वा ततः परम् ॥ १२ ॥

meṣamīnādito janmalagnāntaṃ gaṇayet sudhīḥ | tathaiva horālagnāntaṃ gaṇayitvā tataḥ param || 12 ||

From Aries or Pisces the wise one should count up to the natal ascendant, and likewise, having counted up to the Horā ascendant, then thereafter —

ओजत्वेन समत्वेन सजातीये उभे यदि । तर्हि सङ्ख्ये योजयीत वैजात्ये तु वियोजयेत् ॥ १३ ॥

ojatvena samatvena sajātīye ubhe yadi | tarhi saṅkhye yojayīta vaijātye tu viyojayet || 13 ||

If the two are of the same kind, by oddness [or] by evenness, then one should join the two numbers; but where the kind differs, one should separate them.

मेषमीनादितः पश्चाद्यो राशिः स तु वर्णदः । एतत्प्रयोजनं वक्ष्ये शृणु त्वं द्विजपुङ्गवः । होरालग्नभयोर्नेया सबलाद्वर्णदा दशा ॥ १४ ॥

meṣamīnāditaḥ paścādyo rāśiḥ sa tu varṇadaḥ | etatprayojanaṃ vakṣye śṛṇu tvaṃ dvijapuṅgavaḥ | horālagnabhayorneyā sabalādvarṇadā daśā || 14 ||

The sign that comes [that many places] thereafter, [counted] from Aries or from Pisces — that is the varṇada. I shall declare the use of this; listen, O best of the twice-born. Of the two signs, that of the horā[-lagna] and that of the [natal] lagna, the varṇadā daśā is to be reckoned from the stronger.

यत्सङ्ख्यो वर्णदो लग्नात् तत्तत्सङ्ख्याक्रमेण तु । क्रमव्युत्क्रमभेदेन दशा स्यादोजयुग्मयोः ॥ १५ ॥

yatsaṅkhyo varṇado lagnāt tattatsaṅkhyākrameṇa tu | kramavyutkramabhedena daśā syādojayugmayoḥ || 15 ||

At whatever number the varṇada [stands] from the lagna, by the sequence of the respective number — with the distinction of direct and of reverse order — the daśā shall be, for an odd and for an even [lagna].

पापदृष्टिः पापयोगो वर्णदस्य त्रिकोणके । यदि स्यात् तर्हि तद्राशिपर्यन्तं तस्य जीवनम् ॥ १६ ॥

pāpadṛṣṭiḥ pāpayogo varṇadasya trikoṇake | yadi syāt tarhi tadrāśiparyantaṃ tasya jīvanam || 16 ||

If there be a malefic's aspect [or] a malefic's conjunction in the trine of the varṇada, then his life [lasts] as far as that sign.

रुद्रशूले यथैवायुर्मरणादि निरूप्यते । तथैव वर्णदस्यापि त्रिकोणे पापसङ्गमे ॥ १७ ॥

rudraśūle yathaivāyurmaraṇādi nirūpyate | tathaiva varṇadasyāpi trikoṇe pāpasaṅgame || 17 ||

Just as, in the Rudra-śūla, lifespan, death and the rest are determined, so too for the varṇada as well, when there is a malefic's meeting in [its] trine.

वर्णदादपि भो विप्र लग्नवच्चिन्तयेत् फलम् । वर्णदात् सप्तमाद् भावात् कलत्रायुर्विचिन्तयेत् ॥ १८ ॥

varṇadādapi bho vipra lagnavaccintayet phalam | varṇadāt saptamād bhāvāt kalatrāyurvicintayet || 18 ||

From the varṇada too, O brāhmaṇa, one should consider the result as from the lagna. From the seventh house from the varṇada one should consider the wife's lifespan.

एकादशादग्रजस्य तृतीयात्तु यवीयसः । सुतस्य पञ्चमे विद्यान्मातुश्चतुर्थभावतः ॥ १९ ॥

ekādaśādagrajasya tṛtīyāttu yavīyasaḥ | sutasya pañcame vidyānmātuścaturthabhāvataḥ || 19 ||

From the eleventh, [the lifespan] of the elder-born; from the third, though, of the younger; in the fifth one should know that of the son; that of the mother from the fourth house.

पितुश्च नवमाद् भावादायुरेवं विचिन्तयेत् । शूलराशिदशायां वै प्रबलायामरिष्टकम् ॥ २० ॥

pituśca navamād bhāvādāyurevaṃ vicintayet | śūlarāśidaśāyāṃ vai prabalāyāmariṣṭakam || 20 ||

And of the father from the ninth house — thus one should consider the lifespan. In the daśā of the śūla sign indeed, when that daśā is strong, [there is] ariṣṭa, peril to life.

एवं तन्वादिभावानां कर्तव्या वर्णदा दशा । पूर्ववच्च फलं ज्ञेयं देहिनां च शुभाशुभम् ॥ २१ ॥

evaṃ tanvādibhāvānāṃ kartavyā varṇadā daśā | pūrvavacca phalaṃ jñeyaṃ dehināṃ ca śubhāśubham || 21 ||

Thus the varṇadā daśā is to be made for the houses beginning with the body; and the result of embodied beings, auspicious and inauspicious, is to be known as before.

ग्रहाणां वर्णदा नैव राशीनां वर्णदा दशा । कृत्वार्कधा राशिदशां क्रमादन्तर्दशां वदेत् ॥ २२ ॥

grahāṇāṃ varṇadā naiva rāśīnāṃ varṇadā daśā | kṛtvārkadhā rāśidaśāṃ kramādantardaśāṃ vadet || 22 ||

There is no varṇadā of the grahas at all; the varṇadā daśā is of the signs. Having made the sign-daśā twelvefold, one should declare the antardaśā in order.

एवमन्तर्दशादिं च कृत्वा तेन फलं वदेत् । क्रमव्युत्क्रमभेदेन लिखेदन्तर्दशामपि ॥ २३ ॥

evamantardaśādiṃ ca kṛtvā tena phalaṃ vadet | kramavyutkramabhedena likhedantardaśāmapi || 23 ||

And having thus made the beginning of the antardaśā, by that one should declare the result. With the distinction of direct and of reverse order one should write out the antardaśā as well.

स्वस्वदेशोद्भवं लग्नं जन्मलग्नमिहोच्यते । भावहोरादिलग्नानां सर्वत्रैव समक्रिया ॥ २४ ॥

svasvadeśodbhavaṃ lagnaṃ janmalagnamihocyate | bhāvahorādilagnānāṃ sarvatraiva samakriyā || 24 ||

The lagna arisen in each one's own country is here called the janma-lagna. For the lagnas beginning with the bhāva and the horā, the procedure is the same in every case.

श्रुता ग्रहगुणास्त्वत्तस्तथा राशिगुणा मुने । श्रोतुमिच्छामि भावानां भेदांस्तान् कृपया वद ॥ १ ॥

śrutā grahaguṇāstvattastathā rāśiguṇā mune | śrotumicchāmi bhāvānāṃ bhedāṃstān kṛpayā vada || 1 ||

The qualities of the grahas have been heard from you, O sage, and likewise the qualities of the signs. I wish to hear the divisions of the bhāvas; of your grace, tell them.

वर्गान् षोडश यानाह ब्रह्मा लोकपितामहः । तानहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि मैत्रेय श्रूयतामिति ॥ २ ॥

vargān ṣoḍaśa yānāha brahmā lokapitāmahaḥ | tānahaṃ sampravakṣyāmi maitreya śrūyatāmiti || 2 ||

The sixteen vargas which Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds, declared — those I shall set forth, Maitreya. Let this be heard.

क्षेत्रं होरा च द्रेष्काणस्तुर्यांशः सप्तमांशकः । नवांशो दशमांशश्च सूर्यांशः षोडशांशकः ॥ ३ ॥

kṣetraṃ horā ca dreṣkāṇasturyāṃśaḥ saptamāṃśakaḥ | navāṃśo daśamāṃśaśca sūryāṃśaḥ ṣoḍaśāṃśakaḥ || 3 ||

The kṣetra, and the horā, the dreṣkāṇa, the turyāṃśa, the saptamāṃśa; the navāṃśa and the daśamāṃśa, the sūryāṃśa, the ṣoḍaśāṃśa;

विंशांशो वेदबाह्वंशो भांशस्त्रिंशांशकस्ततः । खवेदांशोऽक्षवेदांशः षष्ट्यंशश्च ततः परम् ॥ ४ ॥

viṃśāṃśo vedabāhvaṃśo bhāṃśastriṃśāṃśakastataḥ | khavedāṃśo'kṣavedāṃśaḥ ṣaṣṭyaṃśaśca tataḥ param || 4 ||

the viṃśāṃśa, the vedabāhvaṃśa, the bhāṃśa, then the triṃśāṃśa; the khavedāṃśa, the akṣavedāṃśa, and after that the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa.

तत्क्षेत्रं तस्य खेटस्य राशेर्यो यस्य नायकः । सूर्येन्द्वोर्विषमे राशौ समे तद्विपरीतकम् ॥ ५ ॥

tatkṣetraṃ tasya kheṭasya rāśeryo yasya nāyakaḥ | sūryendvorviṣame rāśau same tadviparītakam || 5 ||

Of whatever sign whatever graha is the lord, that sign is that graha's kṣetra. In an odd sign, [the halves are] the Sun's and the Moon's; in an even one, the reverse of that.

पितरश्चन्द्रहोरेशा देवाः सूर्यस्य कीर्तिताः । राशेरर्द्धं भवेद्धोरा ताश्चतुर्विंशतिः स्मृता ॥ मेषादि तासां होराणां परिवृत्तिद्वयं भवेत् ॥ ६ ॥

pitaraścandrahoreśā devāḥ sūryasya kīrtitāḥ | rāśerarddhaṃ bhaveddhorā tāścaturviṃśatiḥ smṛtā || meṣādi tāsāṃ horāṇāṃ parivṛttidvayaṃ bhavet || 6 ||

The pitṛs are the lords of the Moon's horā; the devas are proclaimed [the lords] of the Sun's. Half of a sign is a horā; these are recorded as twenty-four. Beginning with Aries there is a twofold circuit of those horās.

राशित्रिभागा द्रेष्काणास्ते च षट्त्रिंशदीरिताः । परिवृत्तित्रयं तेषां मेषादेः क्रमशो भवेत् ॥ ७ ॥

rāśitribhāgā dreṣkāṇāste ca ṣaṭtriṃśadīritāḥ | parivṛttitrayaṃ teṣāṃ meṣādeḥ kramaśo bhavet || 7 ||

The third parts of a sign are the dreṣkāṇas, and these are stated to be thirty-six. Of them there is a threefold circuit, in order, from Aries onward.

And in the akṣavedāṃśa likewise; in the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa one should observe everything. In whatever place the lord of a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa has arrived —

तत्र नाशो न सन्देहो गर्गादीनां वचो यथा । यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः कलांशाधिपतिः शुभः ॥ ७ ॥

tatra nāśo na sandeho gargādīnāṃ vaco yathā | yatra kutrāpi samprāptaḥ kalāṃśādhipatiḥ śubhaḥ || 7 ||

there, destruction; there is no doubt of it, as the word of Garga and the rest has it. In whatever place a benefic lord of a kalāṃśa has arrived —

तत्र वृद्धिश्च पुष्टिश्च गर्गादीनां वचो यथा । इति षोडशवर्गाणां भेदास्ते प्रतिपादिताः ॥ ८ ॥

tatra vṛddhiśca puṣṭiśca gargādīnāṃ vaco yathā | iti ṣoḍaśavargāṇāṃ bhedāste pratipāditāḥ || 8 ||

there, increase and thriving, as the word of Garga and the rest has it. Thus have the distinctions of the sixteen vargas been set forth to you.

उदयादिषु भावेषु खेटस्य भवनेषु वा । वर्गविंशोपकं वीक्ष्य ज्ञेयं तेषां शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ९ ॥

udayādiṣu bhāveṣu kheṭasya bhavaneṣu vā | vargaviṃśopakaṃ vīkṣya jñeyaṃ teṣāṃ śubhā'śubham || 9 ||

In the bhāvas beginning with the rising one, or in a graha's houses: the varga-viṃśopaka having been examined, the auspicious and inauspicious of those is to be known.

अथातः सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि वर्गविंशोपकं बलम् । यस्य विज्ञानमात्रेण विपाकं दृष्टिगोचरम् ॥ १० ॥

athātaḥ sampravakṣyāmi vargaviṃśopakaṃ balam | yasya vijñānamātreṇa vipākaṃ dṛṣṭigocaram || 10 ||

Now, hereupon, I shall declare in full the varga-viṃśopaka strength, by the mere ascertaining of which the ripening [is] within range of sight.

गृहविंशोपकं वीक्ष्यं सूर्यादीनां खचारिणाम् । स्वगृहोच्चे बलं पूर्णं शून्यं तत्सप्तमस्थिते ॥ ११ ॥

gṛhaviṃśopakaṃ vīkṣyaṃ sūryādīnāṃ khacāriṇām | svagṛhocce balaṃ pūrṇaṃ śūnyaṃ tatsaptamasthite || 11 ||

The gṛha-viṃśopaka is to be examined for the Sun and the rest, the sky-goers. In own house or exaltation, strength is full; nil when [the graha] stands in the seventh from that.

ग्रहस्थितिवशाज्ज्ञेयं द्विराश्यधिपतिस्तथा । मध्येऽनुपाततो ज्ञेयं ओजयुग्मर्क्षभेदतः ॥ १२ ॥

grahasthitivaśājjñeyaṃ dvirāśyadhipatistathā | madhye'nupātato jñeyaṃ ojayugmarkṣabhedataḥ || 12 ||

By force of the graha's position it is to be known, and the lord of two signs likewise. In between, it is to be known by proportion, by the distinction of odd and even signs.

सूर्यहोराफलं दद्युर्जीवार्कवसुधात्मजाः । चन्द्रास्फुजिदर्कपुत्राश्चन्द्रहोराफलप्रदाः ॥ १३ ॥

sūryahorāphalaṃ dadyurjīvārkavasudhātmajāḥ | candrāsphujidarkaputrāścandrahorāphalapradāḥ || 13 ||

Jupiter, the Sun and Mars would give the result of the Sun's horā; the Moon, Venus and Saturn are givers of the result of the Moon's horā.

फलद्वयं बुधो दद्यात् समे चान्द्रं तदन्यके । रवेः फलं स्वहोरादौ फलहीनं विरामके ॥ १४ ॥

phaladvayaṃ budho dadyāt same cāndraṃ tadanyake | raveḥ phalaṃ svahorādau phalahīnaṃ virāmake || 14 ||

Mercury would give the twofold result: in an even [sign] the lunar one, in one other than that [the solar]. The Sun's result at the beginning of its own horā; without result at the point of cessation.

मध्येऽनुपातात् सर्वत्र द्रेष्काणेऽपि विचिन्तयेत् । गृहवत् तुर्यभागेपि नवांशादावपि स्वयम् ॥ १५ ॥

madhye'nupātāt sarvatra dreṣkāṇe'pi vicintayet | gṛhavat turyabhāgepi navāṃśādāvapi svayam || 15 ||

In between, by proportion, in every case; in the dreṣkāṇa too one should reckon it. As with the gṛha, in the fourth part too, and in the navāṃśa and the rest, on one's own.

सूर्यः कुजफलं धत्ते भार्गवस्य निशापतिः । त्रिंशांशके विचिन्त्यैवमत्रापि गृहवत् स्मृतम् ॥ १६ ॥

sūryaḥ kujaphalaṃ dhatte bhārgavasya niśāpatiḥ | triṃśāṃśake vicintyaivamatrāpi gṛhavat smṛtam || 16 ||

The Sun bears Mars's result; the lord of night [the Moon], Venus's. Reckoning thus in the triṃśāṃśaka — here too it is taught [to be] as with the gṛha.

लग्नहोरादृकाणाङ्कभागसूर्यांशका इति । त्रिंशांशकश्च षड्वर्गा अत्र विंशोपकाः क्रमात् ॥ १७ ॥

lagnahorādṛkāṇāṅkabhāgasūryāṃśakā iti | triṃśāṃśakaśca ṣaḍvargā atra viṃśopakāḥ kramāt || 17 ||

Lagna, horā, dṛkāṇa, the aṅka-part [the ninth] and the Sun-part [the twelfth] — thus; and the triṃśāṃśaka: the six vargas. Here [their] viṃśopakas, in order:

रसनेत्राब्धिपञ्चाश्विभूमयः सप्तवर्गके । ससप्तमांशके तत्र विश्वकाः पञ्च लोचनम् ॥ १८ ॥

rasanetrābdhipañcāśvibhūmayaḥ saptavargake | sasaptamāṃśake tatra viśvakāḥ pañca locanam || 18 ||

flavours [6], eyes [2], oceans [4], five, Aśvins [2], earths [1]. In the seven-varga, which is [that] together with the saptamāṃśa, the viśvas there: five, an eye [2],

त्रयः सार्द्धं द्वयं सार्द्धवेदा द्वौ रात्रिनायकः । स्थूलं फलं च संस्थाप्य तत्सूक्ष्मं च ततस्ततः ॥ १९ ॥

trayaḥ sārddhaṃ dvayaṃ sārddhavedā dvau rātrināyakaḥ | sthūlaṃ phalaṃ ca saṃsthāpya tatsūkṣmaṃ ca tatastataḥ || 19 ||

three, two with a half [2½], the Vedas with a half [4½], two, the lord of night [1]. And having set down the gross result, then its subtle one, from one and then the next.

दशवर्गा दिगंशाढ्याः कलांशाः षष्टिभागकाः । त्रयं क्षेत्रस्य विज्ञेयाः पञ्चषष्ट्यंशकस्य च ॥ २० ॥

daśavargā digaṃśāḍhyāḥ kalāṃśāḥ ṣaṣṭibhāgakāḥ | trayaṃ kṣetrasya vijñeyāḥ pañcaṣaṣṭyaṃśakasya ca || 20 ||

The ten vargas, enriched with the diś-part [the tenth], the kalā-parts [the sixteenth] and the sixty-parts. Three for the kṣetra are to be known, and five for the ṣaṣṭyaṃśaka.

सार्द्धैकभागाः शेषाणां विश्वकाः परिकीर्तिता । अथ वक्ष्ये विशेषेण बलं विंशोपकाह्वयम् ॥ २१ ॥

sārddhaikabhāgāḥ śeṣāṇāṃ viśvakāḥ parikīrtitā | atha vakṣye viśeṣeṇa balaṃ viṃśopakāhvayam || 21 ||

One and a half parts each for the remaining ones are declared as viśvas. Now I shall state in particular the strength named viṃśopaka:

क्रमात् षोडशवर्गाणां क्षेत्रादीनां पृथक् पृथक् । होरात्रिंशांशदृक्काणे कुचन्द्रशशिनः क्रमात् ॥ २२ ॥

kramāt ṣoḍaśavargāṇāṃ kṣetrādīnāṃ pṛthak pṛthak | horātriṃśāṃśadṛkkāṇe kucandraśaśinaḥ kramāt || 22 ||

in order, for the sixteen vargas beginning with the kṣetra, each separately. In the horā, the triṃśāṃśa and the dṛkkāṇa — earth [1], moon [1], moon [1], in order.

कलांशस्य द्वयं ज्ञेयं त्रयं नन्दांशकस्य च । क्षेत्रे सार्द्धं च त्रितयं वेदाः षष्ट्यंशकस्य हि ॥ २३ ॥

kalāṃśasya dvayaṃ jñeyaṃ trayaṃ nandāṃśakasya ca | kṣetre sārddhaṃ ca tritayaṃ vedāḥ ṣaṣṭyaṃśakasya hi || 23 ||

Two for the kalā-part [the sixteenth] is to be known, and three for the nanda-part [the ninth]. For the kṣetra, three with a half [3½]; the Vedas [4] for the ṣaṣṭyaṃśaka.

अर्द्धमर्धं तु शेषाणां ह्येतत् स्वीयमुदाहृतम् । पूर्णं विंशोपकं विंशो धृतिः स्यादधिमित्रके ॥ २४ ॥

arddhamardhaṃ tu śeṣāṇāṃ hyetat svīyamudāhṛtam | pūrṇaṃ viṃśopakaṃ viṃśo dhṛtiḥ syādadhimitrake || 24 ||

But half, half for the remaining ones — this indeed has been declared for one's own [varga]. The full viṃśopaka is twenty; in [the varga of] an adhimitra it would be dhṛti [18].

मित्रे पञ्चदश प्रोक्तं समे दश प्रकीर्तितम् । शत्रौ सप्ताधिशत्रौ च पञ्चविंशोपकं भवेत् ॥ २५ ॥

mitre pañcadaśa proktaṃ same daśa prakīrtitam | śatrau saptādhiśatrau ca pañcaviṃśopakaṃ bhavet || 25 ||

In a friend, fifteen is stated; in a neutral, ten is proclaimed. In an enemy, seven; and in a great enemy the viṃśopaka would be five.

वर्गविश्वाः स्वविश्वघ्नाः पुनर्विंशतिभाजिताः । विश्वाफलोपयोग्यं तत्पञ्चोनं फलदो न हि ॥ २६ ॥

vargaviśvāḥ svaviśvaghnāḥ punarviṃśatibhājitāḥ | viśvāphalopayogyaṃ tatpañconaṃ phalado na hi || 26 ||

The varga-viśvas, multiplied by the sva-viśva and then divided by twenty — that is the viśvā fit for use for the result. Short of five, it is no giver of result at all.

तदूर्ध्वं स्वल्पफलदं दशोर्ध्वं मध्यमं स्मृतम् । तिथ्यूर्ध्वं पूर्णफलदं बोध्यं सर्वं खचारिणाम् ॥ २७ ॥

tadūrdhvaṃ svalpaphaladaṃ daśordhvaṃ madhyamaṃ smṛtam | tithyūrdhvaṃ pūrṇaphaladaṃ bodhyaṃ sarvaṃ khacāriṇām || 27 ||

Above that, slight-result-giving; above ten, middling is handed down; above fifteen, full-result-giving. All of it is to be understood of the sky-goers.

अथाऽन्यदपि वक्ष्येऽहं मैत्रेय त्वं विधारय । खेटाः पूर्णफलं दद्युः सूर्यात् सप्तमके स्थिताः ॥ २८ ॥

athā'nyadapi vakṣye'haṃ maitreya tvaṃ vidhāraya | kheṭāḥ pūrṇaphalaṃ dadyuḥ sūryāt saptamake sthitāḥ || 28 ||

Now I shall speak of something else as well, Maitreya; do you hold it fast. Grahas standing in the seventh from the Sun would give full result.

फलाभावं विजानीयात् समे सूर्यनभश्चरे । मध्येऽनुपातात् सर्वत्र ह्युदयास्तविंशोपकाः ॥ २९ ॥

phalābhāvaṃ vijānīyāt same sūryanabhaścare | madhye'nupātāt sarvatra hyudayāstaviṃśopakāḥ || 29 ||

One should know there is absence of result when the sky-traveller stands level with the Sun. In between, by proportion, in every case — these, indeed, are the viṃśopakas of rising and setting.

वर्गविंशोपकं ज्ञेयं फलमस्य द्विजर्षभ । यच्च यत्र फलं बुद्ध्वा तत्फलं परिकीर्तितम् ॥ ३० ॥

vargaviṃśopakaṃ jñeyaṃ phalamasya dvijarṣabha | yacca yatra phalaṃ buddhvā tatphalaṃ parikīrtitam || 30 ||

The varga-viṃśopaka is to be known, and its result, O bull among the twice-born. And whatever result, wherever — having discerned it, that result is what is recounted.

वर्गविंशोपकं चादावुदयास्तमतः परम् । पूर्णं पूर्णेति पूर्णं स्यात् सर्वदैवं विचिन्तयेत् ॥ ३१ ॥

vargaviṃśopakaṃ cādāvudayāstamataḥ param | pūrṇaṃ pūrṇeti pūrṇaṃ syāt sarvadaivaṃ vicintayet || 31 ||

The varga-viṃśopaka first, and the rising-and-setting one after that. Full, and 'full' — it would be full; one should always consider it so.

हीनं हीनेति हीनं स्यात् स्वल्पेऽल्पात्यल्पकं स्मृतम् । मध्यं मध्येति मध्यं स्याद्यावत्तस्य दशास्थितिः ॥ ३२ ॥

hīnaṃ hīneti hīnaṃ syāt svalpe'lpātyalpakaṃ smṛtam | madhyaṃ madhyeti madhyaṃ syādyāvattasya daśāsthitiḥ || 32 ||

Deficient, and 'deficient' — it would be deficient; when slight, slight-to-very-slight is handed down. Middling, and 'middling' — it would be middling. [All this holds] for as long as [the graha's] daśā stands.

अथाऽन्यदपि वक्ष्यामि मैत्रेय शृणु सुव्रत । लग्नतुर्यास्तवियतां केन्द्रसंज्ञा विशेषतः ॥ ३३ ॥

athā'nyadapi vakṣyāmi maitreya śṛṇu suvrata | lagnaturyāstaviyatāṃ kendrasaṃjñā viśeṣataḥ || 33 ||

Now I shall speak of something else as well, Maitreya; listen, O you of good vows. Of the lagna, the fourth, the seventh and the tenth, the designation is in particular kendra.

द्विपञ्चरन्ध्रलाभानां ज्ञेयं पणफराभिधम् । त्रिषष्ठभाग्यरिष्फानामापोक्लिममिति द्विज ॥ ३४ ॥

dvipañcarandhralābhānāṃ jñeyaṃ paṇapharābhidham | triṣaṣṭhabhāgyariṣphānāmāpoklimamiti dvija || 34 ||

Of the second, the fifth, the eighth and the eleventh, the appellation paṇaphara is to be known. Of the third, the sixth, the ninth and the twelfth, 'āpoklima', O twice-born.

लग्नात् पञ्चमभाग्यस्य कोणसंज्ञा विधीयते । षष्ठाष्टव्ययभावानां दुःसंज्ञास्त्रिकसंज्ञकाः ॥ ३५ ॥

lagnāt pañcamabhāgyasya koṇasaṃjñā vidhīyate | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭavyayabhāvānāṃ duḥsaṃjñāstrikasaṃjñakāḥ || 35 ||

From the lagna, the designation koṇa is laid down for the fifth and the ninth. Of the sixth, eighth and twelfth bhāvas, the designations are duḥ- and trika.

चतुरस्रं तुर्यरन्ध्रं कथयन्ति द्विजोत्तम । स्वस्थादुपचयर्क्षाणि त्रिषडायाम्बराणि हि ॥ ३६ ॥

caturasraṃ turyarandhraṃ kathayanti dvijottama | svasthādupacayarkṣāṇi triṣaḍāyāmbarāṇi hi || 36 ||

The fourth and the eighth they call caturasra, O best of the twice-born. From the place one stands in, the third, the sixth, the eleventh and the tenth are indeed the upacaya ṛkṣas.

तनुर्धनं च सहजो बन्धुपुत्रारयस्तथा । युवतीरन्ध्रधर्माख्यकर्मलाभव्ययाः क्रमात् ॥ ३७ ॥

tanurdhanaṃ ca sahajo bandhuputrārayastathā | yuvatīrandhradharmākhyakarmalābhavyayāḥ kramāt || 37 ||

Body, wealth, and the co-born; kin, son and foe likewise; the young woman, the aperture, [that] named dharma, action, gain, expenditure — in order.

संक्षेपेणैतदुदितमन्यद् बुद्ध्यनुसारतः । किञ्चिद्विशेषं वक्ष्यामि यथा ब्रह्ममुखाच्छ्रुतम् ॥ ३८ ॥

saṃkṣepeṇaitaduditamanyad buddhyanusārataḥ | kiñcidviśeṣaṃ vakṣyāmi yathā brahmamukhācchrutam || 38 ||

This has been declared in brief; anything else, in accordance with the understanding. I shall declare something particular, as it was heard from Brahmā's mouth.

नवमेऽपि पितुर्ज्ञानं सूर्याच्च नवमेऽथवा । यत्किञ्चिद्दशमे लाभे तत्सूर्याद्दशमे भवे ॥ ३९ ॥

navame'pi piturjñānaṃ sūryācca navame'thavā | yatkiñciddaśame lābhe tatsūryāddaśame bhave || 39 ||

In the ninth too, knowledge of the father; and, alternatively, in the ninth from the Sun. Whatever there is in the tenth, in gain — that, in the tenth house from the Sun.

तुर्ये तनौ धने लाभे भाग्ये यच्चिन्तनं च तत् । चन्द्रात्तुर्ये तनौ लाभे भाग्ये तच्चिन्तयेद् ध्रुवम् ॥ ४० ॥

turye tanau dhane lābhe bhāgye yaccintanaṃ ca tat | candrātturye tanau lābhe bhāgye taccintayed dhruvam || 40 ||

Whatever consideration there is in the fourth, in the body, in wealth, in gain, in fortune — that one should consider, assuredly, from the Moon in the fourth, in the body, in gain, in fortune.

लग्नाद् दुश्चिक्यभवने यत्कुजाद्विक्रमेऽखिलम् । विचार्यं षष्ठभावस्य बुधात् षष्ठे विलोकयेत् ॥ ४१ ॥

lagnād duścikyabhavane yatkujādvikrame'khilam | vicāryaṃ ṣaṣṭhabhāvasya budhāt ṣaṣṭhe vilokayet || 41 ||

All that which, from the ascendant, is in the duścikya house is to be examined in the vikrama from Mars; of the sixth house one should look in the sixth from Mercury.

पुत्रस्य च गुरोः पुत्रे जायायाः सप्तमे भृगोः । अष्टमस्य व्ययस्यापि मन्दान्मृत्यौ व्यये तथा ॥ ४२ ॥

putrasya ca guroḥ putre jāyāyāḥ saptame bhṛgoḥ | aṣṭamasya vyayasyāpi mandānmṛtyau vyaye tathā || 42 ||

Of the son as well, in the son[-house] from Jupiter; of the wife, in the seventh from Venus; of the eighth and of expenditure too, in death and in expenditure from Saturn, likewise.

यद्भावाद्यत्फलं चिन्त्यं तदीशात्तत्फलं विदुः । ज्ञेयं तस्य फलं तद्धि तत्र चिन्त्यं शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ४३ ॥

yadbhāvādyatphalaṃ cintyaṃ tadīśāttatphalaṃ viduḥ | jñeyaṃ tasya phalaṃ taddhi tatra cintyaṃ śubhā'śubham || 43 ||

From whichever house whatever result is to be considered, that result they know from the lord of that; that result of that one is indeed to be known, and the auspicious and the inauspicious is to be considered there.

अथ मेषादिराशीनां चरादीनां पृथक् पृथक् । दृष्टिभेदं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु त्वं द्विजसत्तम

atha meṣādirāśīnāṃ carādīnāṃ pṛthak pṛthak | dṛṣṭibhedaṃ pravakṣyāmi śṛṇu tvaṃ dvijasattama

Now, O best of the twice-born, I shall declare the distinctions of aspect (dṛṣṭi) of the signs beginning with Aries — the movable ⟨signs⟩ and the rest — each one apart. Do you listen.

राशयोऽभिमुखं विप्र तथा पश्यन्ति पार्श्वभे । यथा चरः स्थिरानेवं स्थिरः पश्यति वै चरान्

rāśayo'bhimukhaṃ vipra tathā paśyanti pārśvabhe | yathā caraḥ sthirānevaṃ sthiraḥ paśyati vai carān

The rāśis aspect ⟨that which stands⟩ directly opposite, O vipra, and likewise the two signs at the flanks. As a movable ⟨sign aspects⟩ the fixed ones, so a fixed ⟨sign⟩ indeed aspects the movable ones.

द्विस्वभावो विनाऽऽत्मानं द्विस्वभावान् प्रपश्यति । समीपस्थं परित्यज्य खेटास्तत्र गतास्तथा

dvisvabhāvo vinā''tmānaṃ dvisvabhāvān prapaśyati | samīpasthaṃ parityajya kheṭāstatra gatāstathā

A dual (dvisvabhāva) sign aspects the dual signs, itself excepted. Leaving out the one that stands adjacent — and so too the kheṭas (grahas) that have gone into them ⟨aspect⟩:

चरेषु संस्थिताः खेटाः पश्यन्ति स्थिरसङ्गतान् । स्थिरेषु संस्थिता एवं पश्यन्ति चरसंस्थितान्

careṣu saṃsthitāḥ kheṭāḥ paśyanti sthirasaṅgatān | sthireṣu saṃsthitā evaṃ paśyanti carasaṃsthitān

Kheṭas situated in movable ⟨signs⟩ aspect those joined to fixed ⟨signs⟩; those situated in fixed ⟨signs⟩ likewise aspect those situated in movable ⟨signs⟩.

उभयस्थास्तु सूर्याद्याः पश्यन्त्युभयसंस्थितान् । निकटस्थं विना खेटाः पश्यन्तीत्ययमागमः

ubhayasthāstu sūryādyāḥ paśyantyubhayasaṃsthitān | nikaṭasthaṃ vinā kheṭāḥ paśyantītyayamāgamaḥ

But the Sun and the rest, standing in dual (ubhaya) ⟨signs⟩, aspect those standing in dual ⟨signs⟩. The kheṭas aspect leaving out the one that stands near — this is the received teaching (āgama).

दृष्टिचक्रमहं वक्ष्ये यथावद् ब्रह्मणोदितम् । यस्य विन्यासमात्रेण दृष्टिभेदः प्रकाश्यते

dṛṣṭicakramahaṃ vakṣye yathāvad brahmaṇoditam | yasya vinyāsamātreṇa dṛṣṭibhedaḥ prakāśyate

I shall declare the dṛṣṭi-cakra (the aspect-diagram) just as it was uttered by Brahmā. By the mere laying out of it the distinctions of aspect are made plain.

प्राचि मेषवृषौ लेख्यौ कर्कसिंहौ तथोत्तरे । तुलाऽली पश्चिमे विप्र मृगकुम्भौ च दक्षिणे

prāci meṣavṛṣau lekhyau karkasiṃhau tathottare | tulā'lī paścime vipra mṛgakumbhau ca dakṣiṇe

In the east Aries and Taurus are to be written; Cancer and Leo likewise in the north; in the west Libra and Scorpio, O vipra; and in the south Capricorn and Aquarius.

ईशकोणे तु मिथुनं वायव्ये कन्यकां तथा । नैर्ऋत्यां चापमालिख्य वह्निकोणे झषं लिखेत्

īśakoṇe tu mithunaṃ vāyavye kanyakāṃ tathā | nairṛtyāṃ cāpamālikhya vahnikoṇe jhaṣaṃ likhet

In the īśa corner (the north-east), Gemini; in the vāyavya (the north-west), Virgo likewise. Having drawn Sagittarius in the nairṛta (the south-west), one should write Pisces in the vahni corner (the south-east).

एवं चतुर्भुजाकारं वृत्ताकारमथापि वा । दृष्टिचक्रं प्रविन्यस्य ततो दृष्टिं विचारयेत्

evaṃ caturbhujākāraṃ vṛttākāramathāpi vā | dṛṣṭicakraṃ pravinyasya tato dṛṣṭiṃ vicārayet

Having thus laid out the dṛṣṭi-cakra in the form of a quadrilateral, or else in the form of a circle, one should thereupon examine the aspect.

अथाहं सूतिकाध्यायं वक्ष्यामि शृणु सुव्रत । पुरा प्रसङ्गवशतो ब्रह्मणा कथितं यथा

athāhaṃ sūtikādhyāyaṃ vakṣyāmi śṛṇu suvrata | purā prasaṅgavaśato brahmaṇā kathitaṃ yathā

Now I shall set forth the Sūtikādhyāya ⟨the chapter on the lying-in room⟩. Listen, O you of good vows, ⟨and I shall tell it⟩ just as Brahmā told it long ago, in the course of another matter.

यन्त्रैः स्पष्टतरो वेद्यो जन्मकालस्तथा पुनः । साध्याः स्पष्टखगाश्चैवं लग्नं साध्यं यथोदितम्

yantraiḥ spaṣṭataro vedyo janmakālastathā punaḥ | sādhyāḥ spaṣṭakhagāścaivaṃ lagnaṃ sādhyaṃ yathoditam

By instruments ⟨yantra⟩ the moment of birth is to be ascertained as exactly as may be; then likewise the exact positions of the grahas ⟨spaṣṭa-khaga⟩ are to be worked out, and the lagna too is to be worked out as has been laid down.

लग्नद्वादशभावेषु ग्रहाः स्थाप्या दिवाजनौ । सूर्यो रात्रौ सूर्यपुत्रो जनकौ परिकीर्तितौ

lagnadvādaśabhāveṣu grahāḥ sthāpyā divājanau | sūryo rātrau sūryaputro janakau parikīrtitau

The grahas are to be set down in the twelve bhāvas ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lagna. At a birth by day the Sun, and at night the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩ — these two are declared to be the janakas ⟨the 'fathers', that is, the significators of the father⟩.

तथैव सितचन्द्रौ तु विज्ञेयौ मातृसंज्ञितौ । तयोर्मध्ये वली यः स्यात्तस्य गेहे जनिर्भवेत्

tathaiva sitacandrau tu vijñeyau mātṛsaṃjñitau | tayormadhye valī yaḥ syāttasya gehe janirbhavet

In the same way Sita ⟨Venus⟩ and the Moon are to be known as bearing the name 'mother'. Of the two, whichever should be the stronger — the birth takes place in that one's house.

नीचराशिगताः सौम्या ग्रहदृष्टिविवर्जिताः । चन्द्रो यदि भवेल्लग्ने पथि जन्म विनिर्दिशेत्

nīcarāśigatāḥ saumyā grahadṛṣṭivivarjitāḥ | candro yadi bhavellagne pathi janma vinirdiśet

If the benefics ⟨saumya⟩ have gone to their signs of debilitation ⟨nīca-rāśi⟩ and are devoid of the aspect of any graha, and if the Moon should be in the lagna, one should declare the birth to have happened on the road.

सबलो भौमदृष्टश्च स्वक्षेत्रादिषु संस्थितः । सूर्यो यदा तदा ज्ञेयं बहुदीपान्वितं गृहम्

sabalo bhaumadṛṣṭaśca svakṣetrādiṣu saṃsthitaḥ | sūryo yadā tadā jñeyaṃ bahudīpānvitaṃ gṛham

When the Sun is strong, aspected by Bhauma ⟨Mars⟩, and placed in his own sign or the like ⟨sva-kṣetra and so on⟩, then the house ⟨of the delivery⟩ is to be known as furnished with many lamps.

जलभांशगतश्चन्द्रश्चतुर्थे भवने भवेत् । युक्तो मन्देन वा दृष्टोऽन्धकारे जायते जनिः

jalabhāṃśagataścandraścaturthe bhavane bhavet | yukto mandena vā dṛṣṭo'ndhakāre jāyate janiḥ

⟨If⟩ the Moon, standing in the aṃśa ⟨division⟩ of a watery sign ⟨jala-bha⟩, should be in the fourth bhāva, and is joined with Manda ⟨Saturn⟩ or aspected ⟨by him⟩, the birth happens in darkness.

यस्मिन् भागे भवेत्सूर्यस्तत्र दीपं वदेत् सुधीः । लग्नाद्वर्तिस्तथा चन्द्रात्तैलं वाच्यं मनीषिभिः

yasmin bhāge bhavetsūryastatra dīpaṃ vadet sudhīḥ | lagnādvartistathā candrāttailaṃ vācyaṃ manīṣibhiḥ

In whichever part ⟨of the room⟩ the Sun should be, there the wise man should declare the lamp ⟨to stand⟩. Likewise the wick ⟨varti⟩ is to be told from the lagna, and the oil from the Moon, by the thoughtful.

चरेऽर्के चञ्चलो दीपः स्थिरर्क्षे तु स्थिरो भवेत् । द्विभे स्थितिर्द्वयोर्ज्ञेया सूर्यर्क्षवशतो बुधैः

care'rke cañcalo dīpaḥ sthirarkṣe tu sthiro bhavet | dvibhe sthitirdvayorjñeyā sūryarkṣavaśato budhaiḥ

When the Sun is in a movable ⟨cara⟩ sign the lamp is flickering; in a fixed ⟨sthira⟩ sign it is steady. In a dual ⟨dvisvabhāva⟩ sign the wise should reckon the condition of both, going by the sign the Sun occupies.

शीर्षाच्छीर्षोदये वाच्यः पादात् पृष्ठोदये मतः । करात्तदुभये ज्ञेयः प्रसवः सर्वदेहिनाम्

śīrṣācchīrṣodaye vācyaḥ pādāt pṛṣṭhodaye mataḥ | karāttadubhaye jñeyaḥ prasavaḥ sarvadehinām

When the rising sign is śīrṣodaya ⟨head-rising⟩ the birth is to be declared head-first; when it is pṛṣṭhodaya ⟨back-rising⟩, it is held to be foot-first; and in that ⟨sign⟩ which is ubhaya ⟨rising both ways⟩ it is to be known as hand-first. Such is the delivery of all embodied beings.

केन्द्रस्थग्रहयोगाद्वा लग्नर्क्षाद्वा बलाधिकात् । द्वारं वाच्यं तु गेहस्य दिगीशक्रमतः सदा

kendrasthagrahayogādvā lagnarkṣādvā balādhikāt | dvāraṃ vācyaṃ tu gehasya digīśakramataḥ sadā

The door of the house is always to be declared from the conjunction of planets standing in the kendras ⟨angles⟩, or else from the sign of the lagna — whichever is the stronger — reckoned in the order of the dig-īśas ⟨regents of the directions⟩.

लग्नचन्द्रान्तरालस्थग्रहैः स्युरुपसूतिकाः । दृश्यादृश्यविभागाभ्यां बहिरन्तश्च ताः स्मृताः

lagnacandrāntarālasthagrahaiḥ syurupasūtikāḥ | dṛśyādṛśyavibhāgābhyāṃ bahirantaśca tāḥ smṛtāḥ

The attendant women ⟨upasūtikā, the women present at the delivery⟩ answer to the planets standing in the interval between the lagna and the Moon; and by the visible and the invisible divisions ⟨of the chart⟩ they are declared to be outside and inside ⟨the lying-in room⟩.

स्वर्क्षादौ द्विगुणा ज्ञेया वक्रोच्चे त्रिगुणा मताः । यत्रोभयस्य सम्प्राप्तिस्त्रैगुण्यं तत्र वै सकृत्

svarkṣādau dviguṇā jñeyā vakrocce triguṇā matāḥ | yatrobhayasya samprāptistraiguṇyaṃ tatra vai sakṛt

If ⟨those planets stand⟩ in their own sign and the like, ⟨the attendant women⟩ are to be reckoned twice as many; if retrograde or exalted, they are held to be three times as many. Where both conditions are obtained together, the tripling is applied there only once.

पापैस्तु विधवा ज्ञेयाः शोभनैः सधवाः स्मृताः । कालाङ्गे यत्र भौमार्कौ तत्र ज्ञेयं तिलादिकम्

pāpaistu vidhavā jñeyāḥ śobhanaiḥ sadhavāḥ smṛtāḥ | kālāṅge yatra bhaumārkau tatra jñeyaṃ tilādikam

By the malefics ⟨among them⟩ widows are to be reckoned; by the benefics, women whose husbands live are declared. In whatever limb of Kāla ⟨the Kālapuruṣa, whose limbs are the twelve signs⟩ Mars and the Sun stand, there a mole ⟨tila⟩ and the like is to be known.

शनिराहू स्थितौ यत्र तत्र श्यामलमादिशेत् । लग्ने चन्द्रारशुक्राश्चेत् चिह्नं शिरसि संस्थितम्

śanirāhū sthitau yatra tatra śyāmalamādiśet | lagne candrāraśukrāścet cihnaṃ śirasi saṃsthitam

Where Saturn and Rāhu stand, there one should declare a dark ⟨śyāmala⟩ mark. If the Moon, Mars ⟨āra⟩ and Venus are in the lagna, the mark is set on the head.

शुक्रेऽस्ते निधने राहुः वामकर्णेऽथ मस्तके । गुरुः शुक्रोऽथवा भौमो यदि द्यूने व्यवस्थितः

śukre'ste nidhane rāhuḥ vāmakarṇe'tha mastake | guruḥ śukro'thavā bhaumo yadi dyūne vyavasthitaḥ

When Venus is in the seventh ⟨asta⟩ and Rāhu in the eighth ⟨nidhana⟩, ⟨the mark is⟩ on the left ear, or else on the head. And if Jupiter, Venus, or Mars is placed in the seventh ⟨dyūna⟩ …

तदा चिह्नं भवेन्मूर्ध्नि ग्रहवर्णाऽनुसारतः । चन्द्रो वा क्षितिजो लग्नेऽथवा शुक्रो भवेद्यदि

tadā cihnaṃ bhavenmūrdhni grahavarṇā'nusārataḥ | candro vā kṣitijo lagne'thavā śukro bhavedyadi

Then the mark will be on the crown of the head ⟨mūrdhan⟩, following the colour of that planet. If the Moon, or Mars ⟨kṣitija, earth-born⟩, or else Venus should stand in the lagna ⟨the rising sign⟩ —

द्वादशाब्दे तदा चिह्नं शीर्षे स्यान्नात्र संशयः । त्रिकोणस्थार्किभौमाभ्यां गुदे लिंगेऽपि वा दिशेत्

dvādaśābde tadā cihnaṃ śīrṣe syānnātra saṃśayaḥ | trikoṇasthārkibhaumābhyāṃ gude liṃge'pi vā diśet

then in the twelfth year the mark will be on the head; of this there is no doubt. When Saturn ⟨arki, the Sun's son⟩ and Mars stand in a trikoṇa ⟨trine — the 5th and 9th houses⟩, one should declare it on the anus, or else on the genitals.

सुखे लग्नेऽथवा मन्दस्त्रिकोणे भार्गवो यदि । मृत्युस्थौ बुधदेवेज्यौ जठरौ तत् समादिशेत्

sukhe lagne'thavā mandastrikoṇe bhārgavo yadi | mṛtyusthau budhadevejyau jaṭharau tat samādiśet

If Saturn ⟨manda⟩ is in the 4th ⟨sukha⟩ or in the lagna, and Venus ⟨bhārgava⟩ in a trikoṇa ⟨trine⟩, and Mercury and Jupiter ⟨devejya, priest of the gods⟩ stand in the 8th ⟨mṛtyu, death⟩, one should declare that mark on the belly ⟨jaṭhara⟩.

शुक्रार्कराहवश्चेत् स्युः सुखे लग्नेऽथवा कुजे । तदा चिह्नं भवेन्नूनं वामपादे विशेषतः

śukrārkarāhavaścet syuḥ sukhe lagne'thavā kuje | tadā cihnaṃ bhavennūnaṃ vāmapāde viśeṣataḥ

If Venus, the Sun ⟨arka⟩ and Rāhu should be in the 4th ⟨sukha⟩, or if Mars ⟨kuja⟩ is in the lagna, then the mark will surely be on the left foot above all.

शुक्रो लग्नेऽष्टमे राहुश्चिह्नं वामश्रुतौ शिशोः । जीवो लग्ने मदे राहुस्तदा वामभुजे वदेत्

śukro lagne'ṣṭame rāhuścihnaṃ vāmaśrutau śiśoḥ | jīvo lagne made rāhustadā vāmabhuje vadet

Venus in the lagna and Rāhu in the 8th — the child's mark is in the left ear ⟨śruti⟩. Jupiter ⟨jīva⟩ in the lagna and Rāhu in the 7th ⟨mada⟩ — then one should declare it on the left arm.

अष्टमे रजनीनाथो व्ययस्थौ गुरुभार्गवौ । मदस्थौ मन्दमाहेयौ तदा चिह्नं भुजद्वये

aṣṭame rajanīnātho vyayasthau gurubhārgavau | madasthau mandamāheyau tadā cihnaṃ bhujadvaye

The Moon ⟨rajanīnātha, lord of the night⟩ in the 8th, Jupiter and Venus ⟨bhārgava⟩ standing in the 12th ⟨vyaya, loss⟩, Saturn ⟨manda⟩ and Mars ⟨māheya, son of the Earth⟩ standing in the 7th ⟨mada⟩ — then the mark is on both arms.

शुक्रो धनेऽथ कर्मस्थौ सैंहिकेयशनैश्चरौ । अष्टमे दिवसाधीशो नाभौ चिह्नं तदा दिशेत्

śukro dhane'tha karmasthau saiṃhikeyaśanaiścarau | aṣṭame divasādhīśo nābhau cihnaṃ tadā diśet

Venus in the 2nd ⟨dhana, wealth⟩, and Rāhu ⟨saiṁhikeya, son of Siṁhikā⟩ and Saturn standing in the 10th ⟨karma⟩, and the Sun ⟨divasādhīśa, lord of the day⟩ in the 8th — then one should declare the mark on the navel.

शुक्रभौमौ तृतीयस्थौ द्वितीये रजनीपतिः । दशमे भवने मन्दश्चिह्नं कटिगतं भवेत्

śukrabhaumau tṛtīyasthau dvitīye rajanīpatiḥ | daśame bhavane mandaścihnaṃ kaṭigataṃ bhavet

Venus and Mars ⟨bhauma⟩ standing in the 3rd, the Moon ⟨rajanīpati, lord of the night⟩ in the 2nd, and Saturn ⟨manda⟩ in the tenth house — the mark will be on the waist ⟨kaṭi⟩.

त्रिषडाये यदा सौम्यो व्यये वाचस्पतिर्भवेत् । सहजे च भवेत् काव्यस्तदा चिह्नं हृदि स्थितम्

triṣaḍāye yadā saumyo vyaye vācaspatirbhavet | sahaje ca bhavet kāvyastadā cihnaṃ hṛdi sthitam

When Mercury ⟨saumya⟩ is in the third, sixth or eleventh house ⟨triṣaḍāya⟩, Jupiter ⟨vācaspati⟩ is in the twelfth, and Venus ⟨kāvya⟩ is in the third ⟨sahaja⟩, then the mark ⟨cihna — a mole, freckle or scar on the body⟩ is set on the heart.

लग्ने मन्दो मदे भौमश्चन्द्रो लग्नं न पश्यति । बुधशुक्रान्तरे चन्द्रः परोक्षे स्याज्जनिः पितुः

lagne mando made bhaumaścandro lagnaṃ na paśyati | budhaśukrāntare candraḥ parokṣe syājjaniḥ pituḥ

Saturn ⟨manda⟩ in the ascendant, Mars ⟨bhauma⟩ in the seventh ⟨mada⟩, the Moon not aspecting the ascendant, and the Moon standing between Mercury and Venus — then the birth ⟨jani⟩ takes place out of the father's presence.

अष्टमे नवमे वापि चरभे यदि भास्करः । परोक्षे जन्म जातस्य पितुः स्यान्नात्र संशयः

aṣṭame navame vāpi carabhe yadi bhāskaraḥ | parokṣe janma jātasya pituḥ syānnātra saṃśayaḥ

If the Sun ⟨bhāskara⟩ stands in the eighth or else in the ninth house, in a movable sign ⟨carabha — a cara rāśi: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn⟩, the native's birth takes place out of the father's presence; there is no doubt in this.

कर्मभावं विना दृश्ये चरभे यदि भास्करः । लग्नं चन्द्रो न पश्येच्चेद् दूरसंस्थः शिशोः पिता

karmabhāvaṃ vinā dṛśye carabhe yadi bhāskaraḥ | lagnaṃ candro na paśyecced dūrasaṃsthaḥ śiśoḥ pitā

If the Sun stands in a movable sign in the visible half ⟨dṛśya — the half of the chart above the horizon⟩ but not in the house of action ⟨karmabhāva, the tenth⟩, and the Moon does not aspect the ascendant, the child's father is stationed far away.

रात्रौ जन्म यदा यस्य भौमयुक्तः शनैश्चरः । चरस्थः परदेशे तु तातस्य निधनं वदेत्

rātrau janma yadā yasya bhaumayuktaḥ śanaiścaraḥ | carasthaḥ paradeśe tu tātasya nidhanaṃ vadet

When someone's birth falls at night, and Saturn ⟨śanaiścara⟩ joined with Mars stands in a movable sign, one should declare the death of the father ⟨tāta⟩ in a foreign land.

अष्टमे वा व्यये पापा लग्नेशो बलसंयुतः । सुखेऽथ नवमे वापि रोगयुक्तस्तदा पिता

aṣṭame vā vyaye pāpā lagneśo balasaṃyutaḥ | sukhe'tha navame vāpi rogayuktastadā pitā

If malefics ⟨pāpa⟩ are in the eighth or in the twelfth house, and the lord of the ascendant, endowed with strength, is in the fourth ⟨sukha⟩ or else in the ninth, then the father is afflicted with disease.

लग्नस्थं सबलं सूर्यं शनिभौमौ प्रपश्यतः । जन्मकाले तदा तस्य रोगयुक्तः पिता भवेत्

lagnasthaṃ sabalaṃ sūryaṃ śanibhaumau prapaśyataḥ | janmakāle tadā tasya rogayuktaḥ pitā bhavet

If at the time of birth Saturn and Mars, the two of them, aspect the Sun standing strong in the ascendant, then his father is afflicted with disease.

चतुर्थे दशमे वापि शनिभौमार्कखेचराः । शुभसम्बन्धहीनाश्चेत्तदा पितृसुखं नहि

caturthe daśame vāpi śanibhaumārkakhecarāḥ | śubhasambandhahīnāścettadā pitṛsukhaṃ nahi

If the sky-goers ⟨khecara — planets⟩ Saturn, Mars and the Sun are in the fourth or else in the tenth house, and are without connection to a benefic, then there is no happiness from the father.

आदौ जन्माङ्गतो विप्र रिष्टाऽरिष्टं विचारयेत् । ततस्तन्वादिभावानां जातकस्य फलं वदेत्

ādau janmāṅgato vipra riṣṭā'riṣṭaṃ vicārayet | tatastanvādibhāvānāṃ jātakasya phalaṃ vadet

First, O vipra, one should examine misfortune and its absence (riṣṭa and ariṣṭa) from the birth lagna (janmāṅga); thereafter one should declare the results of the bhāvas, beginning with the body (tanu), for the native.

चतुर्विंशतिवर्षाणि यावद् गच्छन्ति जन्मतः । जन्मारिष्टं तु तावत् स्यादायुर्दायं न चिन्तयेत्

caturviṃśativarṣāṇi yāvad gacchanti janmataḥ | janmāriṣṭaṃ tu tāvat syādāyurdāyaṃ na cintayet

For as long as twenty-four years run on from birth, so long does the birth-ariṣṭa (janmāriṣṭa) last; within that ⟨span⟩ one should not consider the āyurdāya (the allotment of longevity).

षष्ठाष्टरिष्फगश्चन्द्रः क्रूरैः खेटैश्च वीक्षितः । जातस्य मृत्युदः सद्यस्त्वष्टवर्षैः शुभेक्षितः

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭariṣphagaścandraḥ krūraiḥ kheṭaiśca vīkṣitaḥ | jātasya mṛtyudaḥ sadyastvaṣṭavarṣaiḥ śubhekṣitaḥ

The Moon standing in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th (riṣpha) and aspected by malefic grahas gives death to the one born at once; but if aspected by benefics, in eight years.

शशिवन्मृत्युदाः सौम्याश्चेद्वक्राः क्रूरवीक्षिताः । शिशोर्जातस्य मासेन लग्ने सौम्यविवर्जिते

śaśivanmṛtyudāḥ saumyāścedvakrāḥ krūravīkṣitāḥ | śiśorjātasya māsena lagne saumyavivarjite

Benefics too are givers of death like the Moon, if they are retrograde (vakra) and aspected by malefics — ⟨death⟩ of the infant born within a month, when the lagna is devoid of benefics.

यस्य जन्मनि धीस्थाः स्युः सूर्यार्कीन्दुकुजाभिधाः । तस्य त्वाशु जनित्री च भ्राता च निधनं व्रजेत्

yasya janmani dhīsthāḥ syuḥ sūryārkīndukujābhidhāḥ | tasya tvāśu janitrī ca bhrātā ca nidhanaṃ vrajet

For one in whose birth ⟨chart⟩ those named the Sun, Saturn, the Moon and Mars stand in the 5th (dhī), his mother and his brother quickly go to death.

पापेक्षितो युतो भौमो लग्नगो न शुभेक्षितः । मृत्युदस्त्वष्टमस्थोऽपि सौरेणार्केण वा युतः

pāpekṣito yuto bhaumo lagnago na śubhekṣitaḥ | mṛtyudastvaṣṭamastho'pi saureṇārkeṇa vā yutaḥ

Mars (bhauma), aspected by a malefic or joined with one, standing in the lagna and not aspected by benefics, is a giver of death; and so too when it stands in the 8th, joined with Saturn or with the Sun.

चन्द्रसूर्यग्रहे राहुश्चन्द्रसूर्ययुतो यदि । सौरिभौमेक्षितं लग्नं पक्षमेकं स जीवति

candrasūryagrahe rāhuścandrasūryayuto yadi | sauribhaumekṣitaṃ lagnaṃ pakṣamekaṃ sa jīvati

If at an eclipse of the Moon or of the Sun Rāhu is joined with the Moon or the Sun, and the lagna is aspected by Saturn and Mars, he lives one fortnight (pakṣa).

कर्मस्थाने स्थितः सौरिः शत्रुस्थाने कलानिधिः । क्षितिजः सप्तमस्थाने सह मात्रा विपद्यते

karmasthāne sthitaḥ sauriḥ śatrusthāne kalānidhiḥ | kṣitijaḥ saptamasthāne saha mātrā vipadyate

Saturn standing in the place of karma (the 10th), the Moon (kalānidhi) in the place of the enemy (the 6th), Mars (kṣitija) in the 7th place — ⟨the child⟩ perishes together with the mother.

लग्ने भास्करपुत्रश्च निधने चन्द्रमा यदि । तृतीयस्थो यदा जीवः स याति यममन्दिरम्

lagne bhāskaraputraśca nidhane candramā yadi | tṛtīyastho yadā jīvaḥ sa yāti yamamandiram

If Saturn, the son of the Sun (bhāskaraputra), is in the lagna and the Moon in the 8th (nidhana), and when Jupiter (jīva) stands in the 3rd, he goes to the house of Yama.

होरायां नवमे सूर्यः सप्तमस्थः शनैश्चरः । एकादशे गुरुः शुक्रो मासमेकं स जीवति

horāyāṃ navame sūryaḥ saptamasthaḥ śanaiścaraḥ | ekādaśe guruḥ śukro māsamekaṃ sa jīvati

The Sun in the 9th from the horā (the lagna), Saturn standing in the 7th, Jupiter ⟨and⟩ Venus in the 11th — he lives one month.

व्यये सर्वे ग्रहा नेष्टाः सूर्यशुक्रेन्दुराहवः । विशेषान्नाशकर्तारो दृष्ट्या वा भङ्गकारिणः

vyaye sarve grahā neṣṭāḥ sūryaśukrendurāhavaḥ | viśeṣānnāśakartāro dṛṣṭyā vā bhaṅgakāriṇaḥ

In the 12th (vyaya) all the grahas are undesired; the Sun, Venus, the Moon and Rāhu are workers of destruction above all — or, by their aspect, workers of breaking (bhaṅga).

पापान्वितः शशी धर्मे द्यूनलग्नगतो यदि । शुभैरवेक्षितयुतस्तदा मृत्युप्रदः शिशोः

pāpānvitaḥ śaśī dharme dyūnalagnagato yadi | śubhairavekṣitayutastadā mṛtyupradaḥ śiśoḥ

If the Moon, joined with malefics, is in the 9th (dharma), the 7th (dyūna) or the lagna, and is ⟨not⟩ aspected by or joined with benefics, then it is a giver of death to the infant.

सन्ध्यायां चन्द्रहोरायां गण्डान्ते निधनाय वै । प्रत्येकं चन्द्रपापैश्च केन्द्रगैः स्याद्विनाशनम्

sandhyāyāṃ candrahorāyāṃ gaṇḍānte nidhanāya vai | pratyekaṃ candrapāpaiśca kendragaiḥ syādvināśanam

⟨Birth⟩ at the twilight (sandhyā), in the horā (hour) of the Moon, or at a gaṇḍānta is indeed for death — each of these severally; and when the Moon and malefics stand in the kendras, there is destruction.

रवेस्तु मण्डलार्द्धास्तात् सायं संध्या त्रिनाडिका । तथैवार्द्धोदयात् पूर्वं प्रातः संध्या त्रिनाडिका

ravestu maṇḍalārddhāstāt sāyaṃ saṃdhyā trināḍikā | tathaivārddhodayāt pūrvaṃ prātaḥ saṃdhyā trināḍikā

From the setting of half the Sun's disc, the evening sandhyā is three nāḍikās; and likewise, before the rising of half ⟨the disc⟩, the morning sandhyā is three nāḍikās.

चक्रपूर्वापरार्द्धेषु क्रूरसौम्येषु कीटभे । लग्नगे निधनं याति नाऽत्र कार्या विचारणा

cakrapūrvāparārddheṣu krūrasaumyeṣu kīṭabhe | lagnage nidhanaṃ yāti nā'tra kāryā vicāraṇā

With the malefics and the benefics ⟨respectively⟩ in the eastern and western halves of the cakra, and the scorpion sign (kīṭa) standing in the lagna, ⟨the child⟩ goes to death; no deliberation is to be made here.

व्ययशत्रुगतैः क्रूरैर्मृत्युद्रव्यगतैरपि । पापमध्यगते लग्ने सत्यमेव मृतिं वदेत्

vyayaśatrugataiḥ krūrairmṛtyudravyagatairapi | pāpamadhyagate lagne satyameva mṛtiṃ vadet

By malefics gone to the 12th (vyaya) and the 6th (śatru), and by ⟨malefics⟩ gone to the 8th (mṛtyu) and the 2nd (dravya) as well, the lagna standing in the midst of malefics — one should declare death, and truly.

लग्नसप्तमगौ पापौ चन्द्रोऽपि क्रूरसंयुतः । यदा नावेक्षितः सौम्यैः शीघ्रान्मृत्युर्भवेत्तदा

lagnasaptamagau pāpau candro'pi krūrasaṃyutaḥ | yadā nāvekṣitaḥ saumyaiḥ śīghrānmṛtyurbhavettadā

⟨With⟩ two malefics in the lagna and the 7th, and the Moon too joined with a malefic — when it is not aspected by benefics, then death comes swiftly.

क्षीणे शशिनि लग्नस्थे पापैः केन्द्राष्टसंस्थितैः । यो जातो मृत्युमाप्नोति स विप्रेश न संशयः

kṣīṇe śaśini lagnasthe pāpaiḥ kendrāṣṭasaṃsthitaiḥ | yo jāto mṛtyumāpnoti sa vipreśa na saṃśayaḥ

When the waning Moon stands in the lagna and malefics are placed in the kendras and in the 8th, he who is born meets death — O lord of the vipras, there is no doubt.

पापयोर्मध्यगश्चन्द्रो लग्नाष्टान्तिमसप्तमः । अचिरान्मृत्युमाप्नोति यो जातः स शिशुस्तदा

pāpayormadhyagaścandro lagnāṣṭāntimasaptamaḥ | acirānmṛtyumāpnoti yo jātaḥ sa śiśustadā

The Moon between two malefics, in the lagna, the 8th, the last ⟨house⟩ (antima, the 12th), or the 7th: the infant born then meets death before long.

पापद्वयमध्यगते चन्द्रे लग्नसमाश्रिते । सप्ताष्टमेन पापेन मात्रा सह मृतः शिशुः

pāpadvayamadhyagate candre lagnasamāśrite | saptāṣṭamena pāpena mātrā saha mṛtaḥ śiśuḥ

When the Moon, placed between two malefics, occupies the lagna, and a malefic is in the 7th or the 8th, the infant dies together with the mother.

शनैश्चरार्कभौमेषु रिष्फधर्माष्टमेषु च । शुभैरवीक्ष्यमाणेषु यो जातो निधनङ्गतः

śanaiścarārkabhaumeṣu riṣphadharmāṣṭameṣu ca | śubhairavīkṣyamāṇeṣu yo jāto nidhanaṅgataḥ

Saturn, the Sun and Mars being in the 12th (riṣpha), the 9th (dharma) and the 8th, and unaspected by benefics, he who is born has gone to death.

यद्द्रेष्काणे च यामित्रे यस्य स्याद्दारुणो ग्रहः । क्षीणचन्द्रो विलग्नस्थः सद्यो हरति जीवितम्

yaddreṣkāṇe ca yāmitre yasya syāddāruṇo grahaḥ | kṣīṇacandro vilagnasthaḥ sadyo harati jīvitam

He in whose drekkāṇa and in whose 7th (yāmitra) there is a fierce (dāruṇa) graha, and the waning Moon stands in the lagna (vilagna) — ⟨this⟩ carries off his life at once.

आपोक्लिमस्थिताः सर्वे ग्रहा बलविवर्जिताः । षण्मासं वा द्विमासं वा तस्यायुः समुदाहृतम्

āpoklimasthitāḥ sarve grahā balavivarjitāḥ | ṣaṇmāsaṃ vā dvimāsaṃ vā tasyāyuḥ samudāhṛtam

All the grahas placed in the āpoklimas (the cadent houses) and devoid of strength: his life is declared to be six months, or two months.

त्रिभिः पापग्रहैः सूतौ चन्द्रमा यदि दृश्यते । मातृनाशो भवेत्तस्य शुभैर्दृष्टे शुभं वदेत्

tribhiḥ pāpagrahaiḥ sūtau candramā yadi dṛśyate | mātṛnāśo bhavettasya śubhairdṛṣṭe śubhaṃ vadet

If at the birth the Moon is aspected by three malefic grahas, there will be destruction of his mother; if it is aspected by benefics, one should declare good.

धने राहुर्बुधः शुक्रः सौरिः सूर्यो यदा स्थितः । तस्य मातुर्भवेन्मृत्युर्मृते पितरि जायते

dhane rāhurbudhaḥ śukraḥ sauriḥ sūryo yadā sthitaḥ | tasya māturbhavenmṛtyurmṛte pitari jāyate

When Rāhu, Mercury, Venus, Saturn ⟨and⟩ the Sun stand in the 2nd (dhana), there will be death of his mother; he is born with the father dead.

पापात्सप्तमरन्ध्रस्थे चन्द्रे पापसमन्विते । बलिभिः पापकैर्दृष्टे जातो भवति मातृहा

pāpātsaptamarandhrasthe candre pāpasamanvite | balibhiḥ pāpakairdṛṣṭe jāto bhavati mātṛhā

When the Moon, joined with a malefic, stands in the 7th or the 8th (randhra) from a malefic, and is aspected by strong malefics, the one born becomes a slayer of his mother (mātṛhā).

उच्चस्थो वाऽथ नीचस्थः सप्तमस्थो यदारविः । पानहीनो भवेद्बाल अजाक्षीरेण जीवति

uccastho vā'tha nīcasthaḥ saptamastho yadāraviḥ | pānahīno bhavedbāla ajākṣīreṇa jīvati

When the Sun stands in the 7th, whether exalted or debilitated, the child is deprived of the ⟨breast's⟩ drink and lives on goat's milk.

चन्द्राच्चतुर्थगः पापो रिपुक्षेत्रे यदा भवेत् । तदा मातृवधं कुर्यात् केन्द्रे यदि शुभो न चेत्

candrāccaturthagaḥ pāpo ripukṣetre yadā bhavet | tadā mātṛvadhaṃ kuryāt kendre yadi śubho na cet

When a malefic in the 4th from the Moon is in an inimical sign (ripukṣetra), then it works the slaying of the mother — if there is no benefic in a kendra.

द्वादशे रिपुभावे च यदा पापग्रहो भवेत् । तदा मातृभयं विद्याच्चतुर्थे दशमे पितुः

dvādaśe ripubhāve ca yadā pāpagraho bhavet | tadā mātṛbhayaṃ vidyāccaturthe daśame pituḥ

When a malefic graha is in the 12th and in the 6th (ripubhāva), then one should know danger to the mother; ⟨and when it is⟩ in the 4th or the 10th, ⟨danger⟩ to the father.

लग्ने क्रूरो व्यये क्रूरो धने सौम्यस्तथैव च । सप्तमे भवने क्रूरः परिवारक्षयङ्करः

lagne krūro vyaye krūro dhane saumyastathaiva ca | saptame bhavane krūraḥ parivārakṣayaṅkaraḥ

A malefic in the lagna, a malefic in the 12th (vyaya), and likewise a benefic in the 2nd (dhana), ⟨and⟩ a malefic in the 7th house — ⟨such a one⟩ causes the destruction of the family.

लग्नस्थे च गुरौ सौरौ धने राहौ तृतीयगे । इति चेज्जन्मकाले स्यान्माता तस्य न जीवति

lagnasthe ca gurau saurau dhane rāhau tṛtīyage | iti cejjanmakāle syānmātā tasya na jīvati

Jupiter standing in the lagna, Saturn in the second (dhana), Rāhu gone to the third — if it be so at the time of birth, his mother does not live.

क्षीणचन्द्रात्त्रिकोणस्थैः पापैः सौम्यविवर्जितैः । माता परित्यजेद्बालं षण्मासाच्च न संशयः

kṣīṇacandrāttrikoṇasthaiḥ pāpaiḥ saumyavivarjitaiḥ | mātā parityajedbālaṃ ṣaṇmāsācca na saṃśayaḥ

By malefics standing in the trikoṇas from a waning Moon, devoid of benefics, the mother forsakes the child after six months — of that there is no doubt.

एकांशकस्थौ मन्दारौ यत्र कुत्रस्थितौ यदा । शशिकेन्द्रगतौ तौ वा द्विमातृभ्यां न जीवति

ekāṃśakasthau mandārau yatra kutrasthitau yadā | śaśikendragatau tau vā dvimātṛbhyāṃ na jīvati

When Saturn and Mars stand in one and the same aṃśaka, situated wherever they may be, or when those two are gone to a kendra from the Moon, he does not live — ⟨not even⟩ with two mothers.

लग्ने मन्दो मदे भौमः षष्ठस्थाने च चन्द्रमाः । इति चेज्जन्मकाले स्यात् पिता तस्य न जीवति

lagne mando made bhaumaḥ ṣaṣṭhasthāne ca candramāḥ | iti cejjanmakāle syāt pitā tasya na jīvati

Saturn (manda) in the lagna, Mars in the seventh (mada), and the Moon in the sixth place — if it be so at the time of birth, his father does not live.

लग्ने जीवो धने मन्दरविभौमबुधास्तथा । विवाहसमये तस्य बालस्य म्रियते पिता

lagne jīvo dhane mandaravibhaumabudhāstathā | vivāhasamaye tasya bālasya mriyate pitā

Jupiter in the lagna, and Saturn, the Sun, Mars and Mercury likewise in the second (dhana) — at the time of that child's marriage his father dies.

सूर्यः पापेन संयुक्तो ह्यथवा पापमध्यगः । सूर्यात् सप्तमगः पापस्तदा पितृवधो भवेत्

sūryaḥ pāpena saṃyukto hyathavā pāpamadhyagaḥ | sūryāt saptamagaḥ pāpastadā pitṛvadho bhavet

The Sun joined with a malefic, or else gone into the middle of malefics; ⟨or⟩ a malefic gone to the seventh from the Sun — then the destruction of the father comes about.

सप्तमे भवने सूर्यः कर्मस्थो भूमिनन्दनः । राहुर्व्यये च यस्यैव पिता कष्टेन जीवति

saptame bhavane sūryaḥ karmastho bhūminandanaḥ | rāhurvyaye ca yasyaiva pitā kaṣṭena jīvati

The Sun in the seventh house, Mars — the son of Earth — standing in the karma-bhāva ⟨the tenth⟩, and Rāhu in the twelfth (vyaya): the father of him ⟨in whose birth it stands⟩ just so lives in hardship.

दशमस्थो यदा भौमः शत्रुक्षेत्रसमाश्रितः । म्रियते तस्य जातस्य पिता शीघ्रं न संशयः

daśamastho yadā bhaumaḥ śatrukṣetrasamāśritaḥ | mriyate tasya jātasya pitā śīghraṃ na saṃśayaḥ

When Mars stands in the tenth, lodged in an enemy's sign, the father of that native dies quickly — no doubt of it.

रिपुस्थाने यदा चन्द्रो लग्नस्थाने शनैश्चरः । कुजश्च सप्तमे स्थाने पिता तस्य न जीवति

ripusthāne yadā candro lagnasthāne śanaiścaraḥ | kujaśca saptame sthāne pitā tasya na jīvati

When the Moon is in the sixth place (ripu), Saturn in the place of the lagna, and Mars in the seventh place, his father does not live.

भौमांशकस्थिते भानौ शनिना च निरीक्षिते । प्राग्जन्मनो निवृत्तिः स्यान्मृत्युर्वाऽपि शिशोः पितुः

bhaumāṃśakasthite bhānau śaninā ca nirīkṣite | prāgjanmano nivṛttiḥ syānmṛtyurvā'pi śiśoḥ pituḥ

When the Sun stands in an aṃśaka of Mars and is aspected by Saturn, there would be a going away ⟨of the father⟩ before the birth, or else the death of the child's father.

चतुर्थे दशमे पापौ द्वादशे च यदा स्थितौ । पितरं मातरं हत्वा देशाद्देशान्तरं व्रजेत्

caturthe daśame pāpau dvādaśe ca yadā sthitau | pitaraṃ mātaraṃ hatvā deśāddeśāntaraṃ vrajet

When malefics stand in the fourth, in the tenth and in the twelfth, having killed father and mother he goes from ⟨his own⟩ land to another land.

राहुजीवौ रिपुक्षेत्रे लग्ने वाऽथ चतुर्थके । त्रयोविंशतिमे वर्षे पुत्रस्तातं न पश्यति

rāhujīvau ripukṣetre lagne vā'tha caturthake | trayoviṃśatime varṣe putrastātaṃ na paśyati

Rāhu and Jupiter in an enemy's sign, or in the lagna, or in the fourth — in the twenty-third year the son does not see his father.

भानुः पिता च जन्तूनां चन्द्रो माता तथैव च । पापदृष्टियुतो भानुः पापमध्यगतोऽपि वा

bhānuḥ pitā ca jantūnāṃ candro mātā tathaiva ca | pāpadṛṣṭiyuto bhānuḥ pāpamadhyagato'pi vā

The Sun is the father of living beings, and the Moon likewise the mother. The Sun joined with malefic aspect, or else gone into the middle of malefics —

पित्ररिष्टं विजानीयाच्छिशोर्जातस्य निश्चितम् । भानोः षष्ठाष्टमर्क्षस्थैः पापैः सौम्यविवर्जितैः । सुखभावगतैर्वाऽपि पित्ररिष्टं विनिर्दिशेत्

pitrariṣṭaṃ vijānīyācchiśorjātasya niścitam | bhānoḥ ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamarkṣasthaiḥ pāpaiḥ saumyavivarjitaiḥ | sukhabhāvagatairvā'pi pitrariṣṭaṃ vinirdiśet

— then one should know, for certain, the ariṣṭa (peril to life) of the father of the child born. By malefics standing in the sixth and eighth signs from the Sun, devoid of benefics, or else by those gone to the sukha-bhāva ⟨the fourth⟩, one should declare ariṣṭa to the father.

एवं चन्द्रात् स्थितैः पापैर्मातुःकष्टं विचारयेत् । बलाऽबलविवेकेन कष्टं वा मृत्युमादिशेत्

evaṃ candrāt sthitaiḥ pāpairmātuḥkaṣṭaṃ vicārayet | balā'balavivekena kaṣṭaṃ vā mṛtyumādiśet

In the same way, by malefics placed ⟨thus⟩ from the Moon, one should consider distress to the mother; and by the discrimination of strength and weakness one should declare either distress or death.

इत्यरिष्टं मया प्रोक्तं तद्भङ्गश्चापि कथ्यते । यत् समालोक्यं जातानां रिष्टाऽरिष्टं वदेद्बुधः

ityariṣṭaṃ mayā proktaṃ tadbhaṅgaścāpi kathyate | yat samālokyaṃ jātānāṃ riṣṭā'riṣṭaṃ vadedbudhaḥ

Thus has the ariṣṭa been declared by me; its breaking (bhaṅga) too is now told — examining which, the wise man should pronounce, for those who are born, riṣṭa or ariṣṭa ⟨affliction, or the freedom from it⟩.

एकोऽपि ज्ञार्यशुक्राणां लग्नात् केन्द्रगतो यदि । अरिष्टं निखिलं हन्ति तिमिरं भास्करो यथा

eko'pi jñāryaśukrāṇāṃ lagnāt kendragato yadi | ariṣṭaṃ nikhilaṃ hanti timiraṃ bhāskaro yathā

If even one of Mercury, Ārya ⟨Jupiter⟩ and Venus has gone to a kendra from the lagna (the ascendant), it slays the whole ariṣṭa, as the sun ⟨slays⟩ darkness.

एक एव बली जीवो लग्नस्थो रिष्टसञ्चयम् । हन्ति पापक्षयं भक्त्या प्रणाम इव शूलिनः

eka eva balī jīvo lagnastho riṣṭasañcayam | hanti pāpakṣayaṃ bhaktyā praṇāma iva śūlinaḥ

Jupiter alone, strong and standing in the lagna, slays the accumulated riṣṭa — as an obeisance made in devotion to Śūlin ⟨Śiva, the trident-bearer⟩ ⟨works⟩ the destruction of sin.

एक एव विलग्नेशः केन्द्रसंस्थो बलान्वितः । अरिष्टं निखिलं हन्ति पिनाकी त्रिपुरं यथा

eka eva vilagneśaḥ kendrasaṃstho balānvitaḥ | ariṣṭaṃ nikhilaṃ hanti pinākī tripuraṃ yathā

The lord of the lagna alone, seated in a kendra and possessed of strength, slays the whole ariṣṭa, as Pinākin ⟨Śiva, bearer of the Pināka bow⟩ ⟨slew⟩ Tripura.

शुक्लपक्षे क्षपाजन्म लग्ने सौम्यनिरीक्षिते । विपरीतं कृष्णपक्षे तथारिष्टविनाशनम्

śuklapakṣe kṣapājanma lagne saumyanirīkṣite | viparītaṃ kṛṣṇapakṣe tathāriṣṭavināśanam

A birth by night in the bright fortnight, the lagna being aspected by a benefic — and the reverse ⟨a birth by day⟩ in the dark fortnight: so too is the destruction of ariṣṭa.

व्ययस्थाने यदा सूर्यस्तुलालग्ने तु जायते । जीवेत् स शतवर्षाणि दीर्घायुर्बालको भवेत्

vyayasthāne yadā sūryastulālagne tu jāyate | jīvet sa śatavarṣāṇi dīrghāyurbālako bhavet

When the Sun is in the vyaya place (the twelfth) and ⟨the child⟩ is born in a Libra lagna, he lives a hundred years: the child becomes long-lived.

गुरुभौमौ यदा युक्तौ गुरुदृष्टोऽथवा कुजः । हत्वाऽरिष्टमशेषं च जनन्याः शुभकृद्भवेत्

gurubhaumau yadā yuktau gurudṛṣṭo'thavā kujaḥ | hatvā'riṣṭamaśeṣaṃ ca jananyāḥ śubhakṛdbhavet

When Jupiter and Mars are joined, or Mars is aspected by Jupiter — ⟨that⟩, having slain the ariṣṭa without remainder, becomes a worker of good for the mother.

चतुर्थदशमे पापः सौम्यमध्ये यदा भवेत् । पितुः सौख्यकरो योगः शुभैः केन्द्रत्रिकोणगैः

caturthadaśame pāpaḥ saumyamadhye yadā bhavet | pituḥ saukhyakaro yogaḥ śubhaiḥ kendratrikoṇagaiḥ

When a malefic in the fourth or the tenth stands in the middle of benefics, with benefics gone to kendras and trikoṇas, the yoga is one that produces the father's comfort.

सौम्यान्तरगतैः पापैः शुभैः केन्द्रत्रिकोणगैः । सद्यो नाशयतेऽरिष्टं तद्भावोत्थफलं न तत्

saumyāntaragataiḥ pāpaiḥ śubhaiḥ kendratrikoṇagaiḥ | sadyo nāśayate'riṣṭaṃ tadbhāvotthaphalaṃ na tat

With malefics gone between benefics and benefics gone to kendras and trikoṇas, ⟨that⟩ at once destroys the ariṣṭa; the fruit that arises from that bhāva is not that ⟨is not what is destroyed⟩.

अरिष्टं तत्प्रभङ्गं च श्रुतं त्वत्तो मया मुने । कस्माद् भावात् फलं किं किं विचार्यमिति मे वद

ariṣṭaṃ tatprabhaṅgaṃ ca śrutaṃ tvatto mayā mune | kasmād bhāvāt phalaṃ kiṃ kiṃ vicāryamiti me vada

O sage, ariṣṭa ⟨the evils⟩ and the breaking of them I have heard from you. Now tell me from which house each and every result is to be deliberated.

देहं रूपं च ज्ञानं च वर्णं चैव बलाबलम् । सुखं दुःखं स्वभावञ्च लग्नभावान्निरीक्षयेत्

dehaṃ rūpaṃ ca jñānaṃ ca varṇaṃ caiva balābalam | sukhaṃ duḥkhaṃ svabhāvañca lagnabhāvānnirīkṣayet

The body, the form, knowledge, varṇa ⟨complexion⟩, strength and weakness, happiness and sorrow, and one's innate nature — these one should examine from the lagna-bhāva (the 1st house).

धनधान्यं कुटुम्बांश्च मृत्युजालममित्रकम् । धातुरत्नादिकं सर्वं धनस्थानान्निरीक्षयेत्

dhanadhānyaṃ kuṭumbāṃśca mṛtyujālamamitrakam | dhāturatnādikaṃ sarvaṃ dhanasthānānnirīkṣayet

Wealth and grain, the members of the household, the snare of death, enmity, metals and gems and the rest — all this one should examine from the dhana-sthāna (the 2nd house).

विक्रमं भृत्यभ्रात्रादि चोपदेशप्रयाणकम् । पित्रोर्वै मरणं विज्ञो दुश्चिक्याच्च निरीक्षयेत्

vikramaṃ bhṛtyabhrātrādi copadeśaprayāṇakam | pitrorvai maraṇaṃ vijño duścikyācca nirīkṣayet

Valour, servants and brothers and the like, initiation ⟨into a teaching⟩ and journeying, and the death of both parents — these the knowing man should examine from the duścikya (the 3rd house).

वाहनान्यथ बन्धूंश्च मातृसौख्यादिकान्यपि । निधिं क्षेत्रं गृहं चापि चतुर्थात् परिचिन्तयेत्

vāhanānyatha bandhūṃśca mātṛsaukhyādikānyapi | nidhiṃ kṣetraṃ gṛhaṃ cāpi caturthāt paricintayet

Vehicles, then kinsmen, and also the mother's happiness and the like, buried treasure, land, and the house too — one should consider from the fourth.

यन्त्रमन्त्रौ तथा विद्यां बुद्धेश्चैव प्रबन्धकम् । पुत्रराज्यापभ्रंशादीन् पश्येत् पुत्रालयाद् बुधः

yantramantrau tathā vidyāṃ buddheścaiva prabandhakam | putrarājyāpabhraṃśādīn paśyet putrālayād budhaḥ

Yantra and mantra, likewise learning, and the intellect's power of composition; sons, sovereignty, deposition and the rest — these the wise should see from the putrālaya (the 5th house).

मातुलान्तकशङ्कानां शत्रूंश्चैव व्रणादिकान् । सपत्नीमातरं चापि षष्ठभावान्निरीक्षयेत्

mātulāntakaśaṅkānāṃ śatrūṃścaiva vraṇādikān | sapatnīmātaraṃ cāpi ṣaṣṭhabhāvānnirīkṣayet

The maternal uncle, death, and apprehensions; enemies too, and sores and the like; and the stepmother — these one should examine from the sixth house.

जायामध्वप्रयाणं च वाणिज्यं नष्टवीक्षणम् । मरणं च स्वदेहस्य जायाभावान्निरीक्षयेत्

jāyāmadhvaprayāṇaṃ ca vāṇijyaṃ naṣṭavīkṣaṇam | maraṇaṃ ca svadehasya jāyābhāvānnirīkṣayet

The wife, journeying on the road, trade, the sighting of what is lost, and the death of one's own body — these one should examine from the jāyā-bhāva (the 7th house).

आयू रणं रिपुं चापि दुर्गं मृतधनं तथा । गत्यनुकादिकं सर्वं पश्येद्रन्ध्राद्विचक्षणः

āyū raṇaṃ ripuṃ cāpi durgaṃ mṛtadhanaṃ tathā | gatyanukādikaṃ sarvaṃ paśyedrandhrādvicakṣaṇaḥ

Longevity, battle, the enemy too, the fortress, the wealth of the dead, and all that is gatyanuka and the like ⟨the word is corrupt⟩ — the discerning man should see from the randhra (the 8th house).

भाग्यं श्यालं च धर्मं च भ्रातृपत्न्यादिकांस्तथा । तीर्थयात्रादिकं सर्वं धर्मस्थानान्निरीक्षयेत्

bhāgyaṃ śyālaṃ ca dharmaṃ ca bhrātṛpatnyādikāṃstathā | tīrthayātrādikaṃ sarvaṃ dharmasthānānnirīkṣayet

Fortune, the wife's brother, dharma, the brother's wife and the like, and pilgrimage to the holy fords and all such — one should examine from the dharma-sthāna (the 9th house).

राज्यं चाकाशवृत्तिं च मानं चैव पितुस्तथा । प्रवासस्य ऋणस्यापि व्योमस्थानान्निरीक्षणम्

rājyaṃ cākāśavṛttiṃ ca mānaṃ caiva pitustathā | pravāsasya ṛṇasyāpi vyomasthānānnirīkṣaṇam

Sovereignty, ākāśa-vṛtti ⟨one compound in every printing: a livelihood, whose qualifier ākāśa is obscure here⟩, and honour, and likewise ⟨the affairs⟩ of the father, of sojourn abroad, and of debt as well: the examination ⟨of these⟩ is from the vyoma-sthāna (the 10th house).

नानावस्तुभवस्यापि पुत्रजायादिकस्य च । आयं वृद्धिं पशूनां च भवस्थानान्निरीक्षणम्

nānāvastubhavasyāpi putrajāyādikasya ca | āyaṃ vṛddhiṃ paśūnāṃ ca bhavasthānānnirīkṣaṇam

The gain and the increase of goods of every kind, of sons and wife and the like, and of cattle — the examination ⟨of these⟩ is from the bhava-sthāna (the 11th house).

व्ययं च वैरिवृत्तान्तरिःफमन्त्यादिकं तथा । व्ययाच्चैव हि ज्ञातव्यमिति सर्वत्र धीमता

vyayaṃ ca vairivṛttāntariḥphamantyādikaṃ tathā | vyayāccaiva hi jñātavyamiti sarvatra dhīmatā

Expenditure, and the doings of enemies, riḥpha, the final ⟨state⟩ and the rest — all this, in every case, the wise man is to know from the vyaya (the 12th house).

यो यो शुभैर्युतो दृष्टो भावो वा पतिदृष्टयुक् । युवा प्रवृद्धो राज्यस्थः कुमारो वाऽपि यत्पतिः

yo yo śubhairyuto dṛṣṭo bhāvo vā patidṛṣṭayuk | yuvā pravṛddho rājyasthaḥ kumāro vā'pi yatpatiḥ

Whichever house is joined with benefics or aspected ⟨by them⟩, or is aspected and joined by its own lord; and whose lord is a youth, full-grown, seated in his dominion, or an adolescent —

तदीक्षणवशात् तत्तद्भावसौख्यं वदेद् बुधः । यद्यद् भावपतिर्नष्टस्त्रिकेशाद्यैश्च संयुतः

tadīkṣaṇavaśāt tattadbhāvasaukhyaṃ vaded budhaḥ | yadyad bhāvapatirnaṣṭastrikeśādyaiśca saṃyutaḥ

— by the force of that aspect the wise should declare the well-being of each such house. But whichever house's lord is ruined and joined with the lords of the trika and the rest,

भावं न वीक्षते सम्यक् सुप्तो वृद्धोमृतोऽथवा । पीडितो वाऽस्य भावस्य फलं नष्टं वदेद् ध्रुवम्

bhāvaṃ na vīkṣate samyak supto vṛddhomṛto'thavā | pīḍito vā'sya bhāvasya phalaṃ naṣṭaṃ vaded dhruvam

⟨and⟩ does not properly aspect the house, or is asleep, aged, or dead, or afflicted — one should declare the fruit of that house destroyed, and that for certain.

सपापो देहपोऽष्टारिव्ययगो देहसौख्यहृत् । केन्द्रे कोणे स्थितोऽङ्गेशः सदा देहसुखं दिशेत्

sapāpo dehapo'ṣṭārivyayago dehasaukhyahṛt | kendre koṇe sthito'ṅgeśaḥ sadā dehasukhaṃ diśet

The lord of the body ⟨the lagna lord⟩, ⟨standing⟩ with a malefic and gone to the 8th, the 6th or the 12th, steals away bodily comfort. The lord of the limbs, placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa, always confers bodily comfort.

लग्नपोऽस्तङ्गतो नीचे शत्रुभे रोगकृद् भवेत् । शुभाः केन्द्रत्रिकोणस्था सर्वरोगहराः स्मृताः

lagnapo'staṅgato nīce śatrubhe rogakṛd bhavet | śubhāḥ kendratrikoṇasthā sarvarogaharāḥ smṛtāḥ

The lord of the lagna combust ⟨asta-gata⟩, or debilitated, or in an enemy's rāśi, becomes a producer of disease. Benefics placed in the kendras and trikoṇas are held to be removers of every disease.

लग्ने चन्द्रेऽथवा क्रूरग्रहैर्दृष्टेऽथवा युते । शुभदृष्टिविहीने च जन्तोर्देहसुखं न हि

lagne candre'thavā krūragrahairdṛṣṭe'thavā yute | śubhadṛṣṭivihīne ca jantordehasukhaṃ na hi

When the lagna, or likewise the Moon, is aspected by malefic grahas or joined with them, and is bereft of benefic aspect, the creature ⟨born⟩ has no bodily comfort at all.

लग्ने सौम्ये सुरूपः स्यात् क्रूरेरूपविवर्जितः । सौम्यखेटैर्युते दृष्टे लग्ने देहसुखान्वितः

lagne saumye surūpaḥ syāt krūrerūpavivarjitaḥ | saumyakheṭairyute dṛṣṭe lagne dehasukhānvitaḥ

With a benefic in the lagna one is of fair form; with malefics ⟨there⟩ one is bereft of beauty. When the lagna is joined with or aspected by benefic grahas ⟨saumya-kheṭa⟩, one is endowed with bodily comfort.

लग्नेशो ज्ञो गुरुर्वाऽपि शुक्रो वा केन्द्रकोणगः । दीर्घायुर्धनवान् जातो बुद्धिमान् राजवल्लभः

lagneśo jño gururvā'pi śukro vā kendrakoṇagaḥ | dīrghāyurdhanavān jāto buddhimān rājavallabhaḥ

The lord of the lagna, or Mercury, or Jupiter, or Venus, placed in a kendra or a trikoṇa ⟨makes⟩ the native long-lived, wealthy, intelligent, and dear to the king.

लग्नेशे चरराशिस्थे शुभग्रहनिरीक्षिते । कीर्तिश्रीमान् महाभोगी देहसौख्यसमन्वितः

lagneśe cararāśisthe śubhagrahanirīkṣite | kīrtiśrīmān mahābhogī dehasaukhyasamanvitaḥ

When the lord of the lagna stands in a movable ⟨cara⟩ rāśi and is aspected by benefic grahas, ⟨the native is⟩ renowned and prosperous, a great enjoyer, and furnished with bodily comfort.

बुधो जीवोऽथवा शुक्रो लग्ने चन्द्रसमन्वितः । लग्नात् केन्द्रगतो वाऽपि राजलक्षणसंयुतः

budho jīvo'thavā śukro lagne candrasamanvitaḥ | lagnāt kendragato vā'pi rājalakṣaṇasaṃyutaḥ

Mercury, or Jupiter, or Venus in the lagna joined with the Moon — or else placed in a kendra from the lagna — ⟨makes the native⟩ furnished with the marks of a king.

ससौरे सकुजे वापि लग्ने मेषे वृषे हरौ । राश्यंशसदृशौ गात्रे स जातो नालवेष्टितः

sasaure sakuje vāpi lagne meṣe vṛṣe harau | rāśyaṃśasadṛśau gātre sa jāto nālaveṣṭitaḥ

If the lagna is Meṣa, Vṛṣabha or Siṃha ⟨hari⟩ and Saturn is in it, or likewise Mars, that native is born wound about with the umbilical cord — upon the limb answering to the rāśi and the aṃśa.

चतुष्पदगतो भानुः परे वीर्यसमन्विताः । द्विस्वभावगता जातौ यमलाविति निर्दिशेत्

catuṣpadagato bhānuḥ pare vīryasamanvitāḥ | dvisvabhāvagatā jātau yamalāviti nirdiśet

The Sun placed in a quadruped ⟨rāśi⟩, and the other ⟨grahas⟩ endowed with strength and placed in two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ rāśis — one should declare that twins have been born.

रवीन्दू एकभावस्थावेकांशकसमन्वितौ । त्रिमात्रा च त्रिभिर्मासैः पित्रा भ्रात्रा च पोषितः

ravīndū ekabhāvasthāvekāṃśakasamanvitau | trimātrā ca tribhirmāsaiḥ pitrā bhrātrā ca poṣitaḥ

The Sun and the Moon standing in one bhāva and joined in one and the same aṃśa: ⟨the native is⟩ nourished by three mothers, and by ⟨his⟩ father and by ⟨his⟩ brother, over three months.

एवमेव फलं वाच्यं चन्द्रादपि सदा बुधैः । अथ जातनरस्याङ्गे व्रणचिह्नादिकं ब्रुवे

evameva phalaṃ vācyaṃ candrādapi sadā budhaiḥ | atha jātanarasyāṅge vraṇacihnādikaṃ bruve

In just this same way the effects should always be declared from the Moon as well by the wise. Now I shall speak of the scars, marks and the like upon the limbs of the person born.

शिरो नेत्रे तथा कर्णौ नासिके च कपोलकौ । हनूर्मुखं च लग्नाद्या तनावाद्यदृकाणके

śiro netre tathā karṇau nāsike ca kapolakau | hanūrmukhaṃ ca lagnādyā tanāvādyadṛkāṇake

The head, the two eyes, likewise the two ears, the two nostrils and the two cheeks, the two jaws and the mouth — ⟨these are the limbs of the twelve bhāvas⟩ beginning from the lagna, when the body ⟨the lagna⟩ falls in the first drekkāṇa.

मध्यद्रेष्काणगे लग्ने कण्ठोंऽसौ च भुजौ तथा । पार्श्वे च हृदये क्रोडे नाभिश्चेति यथाक्रमम्

madhyadreṣkāṇage lagne kaṇṭhoṃ'sau ca bhujau tathā | pārśve ca hṛdaye kroḍe nābhiśceti yathākramam

When the lagna is in the middle drekkāṇa: the neck, the two shoulders and likewise the two arms, the two sides, the two ⟨halves of the⟩ chest, the two ⟨halves of the⟩ belly, and the navel — thus, in due order.

वस्तिर्लिङ्गगुदे मुष्कावूरू जानू च जङ्घके । पादश्चेत्युदितैर्वाममङ्गं ज्ञेयं तृतीयके

vastirliṅgagude muṣkāvūrū jānū ca jaṅghake | pādaścetyuditairvāmamaṅgaṃ jñeyaṃ tṛtīyake

The bladder, the penis and the anus, the two testicles, the two thighs, the two knees and the two shanks, and the foot — thus, by the ⟨limbs⟩ stated, the left side of the body is to be known in the third ⟨drekkāṇa⟩.

यस्मिन्नङ्गे स्थितः पापो व्रणं तत्र समादिशेत् । नियतं सबुधैः क्रूरैः सौम्यैर्लक्ष्म वदेद् बुधः

yasminnaṅge sthitaḥ pāpo vraṇaṃ tatra samādiśet | niyataṃ sabudhaiḥ krūraiḥ saumyairlakṣma vaded budhaḥ

In whichever limb a malefic stands, there one should declare a scar; ⟨and it is⟩ certain ⟨when the⟩ malefics ⟨are⟩ joined with Mercury. With benefics, the wise ⟨astrologer⟩ should declare a mark ⟨a mole⟩.

धनभावफलं वच्मि शृणु त्वं द्विजसत्तम । धनेशो धनभावस्थः केन्द्रकोणगतोऽपि वा

dhanabhāvaphalaṃ vacmi śṛṇu tvaṃ dvijasattama | dhaneśo dhanabhāvasthaḥ kendrakoṇagato'pi vā

I declare the effect of the house of wealth (dhana-bhāva) ⟨the second⟩; hear it, O best of the twice-born. The lord of wealth standing in the house of wealth, or gone to a kendra or a trikoṇa —

धनवृद्धिकरो ज्ञेयस्त्रिकस्थो धनहानिकृत् । धनदश्च धने सौम्यः पापो धनविनाशकृत्

dhanavṛddhikaro jñeyastrikastho dhanahānikṛt | dhanadaśca dhane saumyaḥ pāpo dhanavināśakṛt

— ⟨such a lord⟩ is to be known as one who makes wealth increase; standing in a trika ⟨the sixth, eighth or twelfth⟩ he works loss of wealth. A benefic (saumya) in the house of wealth is a giver of wealth; a malefic is a destroyer of wealth.

धनाधिपो गुरुर्यस्य धनभावगतो भवेत् । भौमेन सहितो वाऽपि धनवान् स नरो भवेत्

dhanādhipo gururyasya dhanabhāvagato bhavet | bhaumena sahito vā'pi dhanavān sa naro bhavet

He whose lord of wealth ⟨being⟩ Jupiter is gone to the house of wealth, or else is joined with Mars — that man becomes possessed of wealth.

धनेशे लाभभावस्थे लाभेशे वा धनं गते । तावुभौ केन्द्रकोणस्थौ धनवान् स नरो भवेत्

dhaneśe lābhabhāvasthe lābheśe vā dhanaṃ gate | tāvubhau kendrakoṇasthau dhanavān sa naro bhavet

When the lord of wealth stands in the house of gain ⟨the eleventh⟩, or the lord of gain has gone to the house of wealth, ⟨or⟩ when those two both stand in a kendra or a trikoṇa — that man becomes possessed of wealth.

धनेशे केन्द्रराशिस्थे लाभेशे तत्त्रिकोणगे । गुरुशुक्रयुते दृष्टे धनलाभमुदीरयेत्

dhaneśe kendrarāśisthe lābheśe tattrikoṇage | guruśukrayute dṛṣṭe dhanalābhamudīrayet

When the lord of wealth stands in a kendra rāśi and the lord of gain is gone to a trikoṇa from it, ⟨and that lord is⟩ joined with or aspected by Jupiter and Venus, one should declare gain of wealth.

धनेशो रिपुभावस्थो लाभेशस्तद्गतो यदि । धनायौ पापयुक्तौ वा दृष्टौ निर्धन एव सः

dhaneśo ripubhāvastho lābheśastadgato yadi | dhanāyau pāpayuktau vā dṛṣṭau nirdhana eva saḥ

If the lord of wealth stands in the house of enemies ⟨the sixth⟩ and the lord of gain has gone there ⟨as well⟩; or ⟨if⟩ the house of wealth and the house of gain are joined with malefics or aspected ⟨by them⟩ — he is destitute indeed.

धनलाभाधिपावस्तौ पापग्रहसमन्वितौ । जन्मप्रभृतिदारिद्र्यं भिक्षान्नं लभते नरः

dhanalābhādhipāvastau pāpagrahasamanvitau | janmaprabhṛtidāridryaṃ bhikṣānnaṃ labhate naraḥ

The lords of wealth and of gain being combust and joined with malefic grahas, the man ⟨has⟩ poverty from birth onward and obtains the food of begging.

षष्ठेऽष्टमे व्यये वाऽपि धनलाभाधिपौ यदि । लाभे कुजोधने राहू राजदण्डाद् धनक्षयः

ṣaṣṭhe'ṣṭame vyaye vā'pi dhanalābhādhipau yadi | lābhe kujodhane rāhū rājadaṇḍād dhanakṣayaḥ

If the lords of wealth and of gain are in the sixth, the eighth, or the twelfth; ⟨and if⟩ Mars is in the house of gain and Rāhu in the house of wealth — ⟨there is⟩ loss of wealth through the king's punishment.

लाभे जीवे धने शुक्रे धनेशे शुभसंयुते । व्यये च शुभसंयुक्ते धर्मकार्ये धनव्ययः

lābhe jīve dhane śukre dhaneśe śubhasaṃyute | vyaye ca śubhasaṃyukte dharmakārye dhanavyayaḥ

Jupiter in the house of gain, Venus in the house of wealth, the lord of wealth joined with a benefic, and the twelfth too joined with a benefic — ⟨his⟩ expenditure of wealth is upon works of dharma.

स्वभोच्चस्थे धनाधीशे जातको जनपोषकः । परोपकारी ख्यातश्च विज्ञेयो द्विजसत्तम

svabhoccasthe dhanādhīśe jātako janapoṣakaḥ | paropakārī khyātaśca vijñeyo dvijasattama

When the lord of wealth stands in his own sign or in exaltation, the native is to be known as a nourisher of people, a doer of good to others, and renowned, O best of the twice-born.

स्थिते पारावतांशादौ धनेशे शुभसंयुते । तद्गृहे सर्वसम्पत्तिर्विनाऽयासेन जायते

sthite pārāvatāṃśādau dhaneśe śubhasaṃyute | tadgṛhe sarvasampattirvinā'yāsena jāyate

When the lord of wealth is placed in Pārāvatāṃśa and the rest, and is joined with a benefic, all prosperity arises in his house without effort.

नेत्रेशे बलसंयुक्ते शोभनाक्षो भवेन्नरः । षष्ठाष्टमव्ययस्थे च नेत्रवैकल्यवान् भवेत्

netreśe balasaṃyukte śobhanākṣo bhavennaraḥ | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyayasthe ca netravaikalyavān bhavet

When the lord of the eye ⟨the second⟩ is endowed with strength, the man comes to have fine eyes; and when it stands in the sixth, the eighth or the twelfth, he becomes defective in the eyes.

धनेशे पापसंयुक्ते धने पापसमन्विते । पिशुनोऽसत्यवादी च वातव्याधिसमन्वितः

dhaneśe pāpasaṃyukte dhane pāpasamanvite | piśuno'satyavādī ca vātavyādhisamanvitaḥ

When the lord of wealth is joined with a malefic and the house of wealth is joined with a malefic, ⟨the native is⟩ a slanderer, a speaker of untruth, and beset by diseases of wind ⟨vāta⟩.

अथ विक्रमभावस्य फलं वक्ष्यामि भो द्विज । सहजे सौम्ययुग्दृष्टे भ्रातृमान् विक्रमी नरः

atha vikramabhāvasya phalaṃ vakṣyāmi bho dvija | sahaje saumyayugdṛṣṭe bhrātṛmān vikramī naraḥ

Now, O twice-born, I shall tell the fruits of the house of prowess ⟨the third⟩. When the third (sahaja) is joined with benefics and aspected by them, the man has brothers and is valorous.

सभौमो भ्रातृभावेशो भ्रातृभावं प्रपश्यति । भ्रातृक्षेत्रगतो वाऽपि भ्रातृभावं विनिर्दिशेत्

sabhaumo bhrātṛbhāveśo bhrātṛbhāvaṃ prapaśyati | bhrātṛkṣetragato vā'pi bhrātṛbhāvaṃ vinirdiśet

⟨When⟩ the lord of the house of brothers ⟨the third⟩, together with Mars, aspects the house of brothers, or else has gone to the sign of brothers, one should declare the house of brothers ⟨to thrive⟩.

पापयोगेन तौ पापक्षेत्रयोगेन वा पुनः । उत्पाट्य सहजान् सद्यो निहन्तारौ न संशयः

pāpayogena tau pāpakṣetrayogena vā punaḥ | utpāṭya sahajān sadyo nihantārau na saṃśayaḥ

⟨But⟩ those two, by conjunction with a malefic, or again by standing in a malefic's sign, uproot the co-born and slay them straightaway — there is no doubt.

स्त्रीग्रहो भ्रातृभावेशः स्त्रीग्रहो भ्रातृभावगः । भगिनी स्यात् तथा भ्राता पुङ्गृहे पुङ्ग्रहो यदि

strīgraho bhrātṛbhāveśaḥ strīgraho bhrātṛbhāvagaḥ | bhaginī syāt tathā bhrātā puṅgṛhe puṅgraho yadi

⟨If⟩ the lord of the house of brothers is a female graha and a female graha occupies the house of brothers, there is a sister; and so too a brother, if a male graha ⟨stands⟩ in a male sign.

मिश्रे मिश्रफलं वाच्यं बलाबलविनिर्णयात् । मृतौ कुजतृतीयेशौ सहोदरविनाशकौ

miśre miśraphalaṃ vācyaṃ balābalavinirṇayāt | mṛtau kujatṛtīyeśau sahodaravināśakau

Where ⟨the influences are⟩ mixed, a mixed fruit is to be told, from a determination of strength and weakness. Mars and the lord of the third, ⟨placed⟩ in the house of death ⟨the eighth⟩, are destroyers of the co-born.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे वाऽपि स्वोच्चमित्रस्ववर्गगे । कारके सहजेशे वा भ्रातृसौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत्

kendratrikoṇage vā'pi svoccamitrasvavargage | kārake sahajeśe vā bhrātṛsaukhyaṃ vinirdiśet

When the kāraka ⟨Mars⟩ or the lord of the third stands in a kendra or a trikoṇa, or in its own exaltation, a friend's sign, or its own varga, one should declare happiness from brothers.

भ्रातृभे बुधसंयुक्ते तदीशे चन्द्रसंयुते । कारके मन्दसंयुक्ते भगिन्येकाग्रतो भवेत्

bhrātṛbhe budhasaṃyukte tadīśe candrasaṃyute | kārake mandasaṃyukte bhaginyekāgrato bhavet

When the sign of brothers ⟨the third⟩ is joined with Mercury, its lord joined with the Moon, and the kāraka joined with Saturn, there is one sister, ⟨born⟩ before ⟨the native⟩.

पश्चात् सहोदरोऽप्येकस्तृतीयस्तु मृतो भवेत् । कारके राहुसंयुक्ते सहजेशे तु नीचगे

paścāt sahodaro'pyekastṛtīyastu mṛto bhavet | kārake rāhusaṃyukte sahajeśe tu nīcage

Afterwards one co-born as well ⟨is born⟩; but the third dies. ⟨When⟩ the kāraka is joined with Rāhu, and the lord of the third is debilitated —

पश्चात् सहोदराभावं पूर्वं तु तत्त्रयं वदेत् । भ्रातृस्थानाधिपे केन्द्रे कारके तत्त्रिकोणगे

paścāt sahodarābhāvaṃ pūrvaṃ tu tattrayaṃ vadet | bhrātṛsthānādhipe kendre kārake tattrikoṇage

— one should declare no co-born afterwards, but three of them before. ⟨When⟩ the lord of the place of brothers is in a kendra and the kāraka in a trikoṇa from it,

जीवेन सहिते चोच्चे ज्ञेया द्वादश सोदराः । तत्र ज्येष्ठद्वयं तद्वज्जातकाच्च तृतीयकम्

jīvena sahite cocce jñeyā dvādaśa sodarāḥ | tatra jyeṣṭhadvayaṃ tadvajjātakācca tṛtīyakam

and ⟨that kāraka⟩ joined with Jupiter and exalted — twelve co-born are to be known. Of these, the two eldest, and likewise the third from the native,

सप्तमं नवमं चैव द्वादशं च मृतं वदेत् । शेषाः सहोदराः षड् वै भवेयुर्दीर्घजीवनाः

saptamaṃ navamaṃ caiva dvādaśaṃ ca mṛtaṃ vadet | śeṣāḥ sahodarāḥ ṣaḍ vai bhaveyurdīrghajīvanāḥ

the seventh, the ninth, and the twelfth — these he should declare dead. The remaining co-born, six indeed, will be long-lived.

व्ययेशेन युतो भौमो गुरुणा सहितोऽपि वा । भ्रातृभावे स्थिते चन्द्रे सप्तसङ्ख्यास्तु सोदराः

vyayeśena yuto bhaumo guruṇā sahito'pi vā | bhrātṛbhāve sthite candre saptasaṅkhyāstu sodarāḥ

Mars joined with the lord of the twelfth, or else conjoined with Jupiter, and the Moon standing in the house of brothers — the co-born are then seven in number.

भ्रातृस्थाने शशियुते केवलं पुङ्ग्रहेक्षिते । सहजा भ्रातरो ज्ञेयाः शुक्रयुक्तेक्षितेऽन्यथा

bhrātṛsthāne śaśiyute kevalaṃ puṅgrahekṣite | sahajā bhrātaro jñeyāḥ śukrayuktekṣite'nyathā

When the place of brothers is joined with the Moon and aspected by male grahas only, the co-born are to be known as brothers; ⟨but⟩ when it is joined with or aspected by Venus, otherwise ⟨that is, sisters⟩.

अग्रे जातं रविर्हन्ति पृष्ठे जातं शनैश्चरः । अग्रजं पृष्ठजं हन्ति सहजस्थो धरासुतः

agre jātaṃ ravirhanti pṛṣṭhe jātaṃ śanaiścaraḥ | agrajaṃ pṛṣṭhajaṃ hanti sahajastho dharāsutaḥ

The Sun slays the one born before ⟨the native⟩, Saturn the one born after; and Mars, standing in the third, slays the elder-born and the later-born alike.

एतेषां विप्र योगानां बलाबलविनिर्णयात् । भ्रातृणां भगिनीनां वा जातकस्य फलं वदेत्

eteṣāṃ vipra yogānāṃ balābalavinirṇayāt | bhrātṛṇāṃ bhaginīnāṃ vā jātakasya phalaṃ vadet

O brāhmaṇa, from the determination of the strength and weakness of these yogas, one should declare the native's fruit as to brothers or sisters.

उक्तं तृतीयभावस्य फलं सङ्क्षेपतो मया । सुखभावफलं चाऽथ कथयामि द्विजोत्तम

uktaṃ tṛtīyabhāvasya phalaṃ saṅkṣepato mayā | sukhabhāvaphalaṃ cā'tha kathayāmi dvijottama

The effect of the third house has been declared by me in brief. And now, O best of the twice-born, I shall tell the effect of the sukha-bhāva ⟨the fourth house⟩.

सुखेशे सुखभावस्थे लग्नेशे तद्गतेऽपि वा । शुभदृष्टे च जातस्य पूर्णं गृहसुखं वदेत्

sukheśe sukhabhāvasthe lagneśe tadgate'pi vā | śubhadṛṣṭe ca jātasya pūrṇaṃ gṛhasukhaṃ vadet

The fourth lord standing in the fourth house, or else the ascendant lord gone there, and aspected by a benefic — one should declare the ease of home of the one born to be full.

स्वगेहे स्वांशके स्वोच्चे सुखस्थानाधिपो यदि । भूमियानगृहादीनां सुखं वाद्यभवं तथा

svagehe svāṃśake svocce sukhasthānādhipo yadi | bhūmiyānagṛhādīnāṃ sukhaṃ vādyabhavaṃ tathā

If the lord of the sukha-sthāna ⟨the fourth⟩ is in its own house, its own aṃśa, or its own exaltation — the ease of land, conveyances, dwellings and the rest ⟨is his⟩, and likewise ⟨ease⟩ born of musical instruments.

कर्माधिपेन संयुक्ते केन्द्रे कोणे गृहाधिपे । विचित्रसौधप्राकारैर्मण्डितं तद्गृहं वदेत्

karmādhipena saṃyukte kendre koṇe gṛhādhipe | vicitrasaudhaprākārairmaṇḍitaṃ tadgṛhaṃ vadet

The lord of the house ⟨the fourth⟩ joined with the lord of karma ⟨the tenth⟩ and standing in a kendra or a trikoṇa — one should declare that dwelling of his adorned with wondrous mansions and enclosing walls.

बन्धुस्थानेश्वरे सौम्ये शुभग्रहयुतेक्षिते । शशिजे लग्नसंयुक्ते बन्धुपूज्यो भवेन्नरः

bandhusthāneśvare saumye śubhagrahayutekṣite | śaśije lagnasaṃyukte bandhupūjyo bhavennaraḥ

The lord of the bandhu-sthāna ⟨the fourth⟩ being a benefic, joined with or aspected by benefic grahas, and Mercury joined with the ascendant — the man becomes one honoured by his kinsmen.

मातुःस्थाने शुभयुते तदीशे स्वोच्चराशिगे । कारके बलसंयुक्ते मातुर्दीर्घायुरादिशेत्

mātuḥsthāne śubhayute tadīśe svoccarāśige | kārake balasaṃyukte māturdīrghāyurādiśet

The mother's house ⟨the fourth⟩ joined to a benefic, its lord gone to its own sign of exaltation, and the kāraka ⟨the Moon⟩ possessed of strength — one should declare long life for the mother.

सुखेशे केन्द्रभावस्थे तथा केन्द्रस्थितो भृगुः । शशिजे स्वोच्चराशिस्थे मातुः पूर्णं सुखं वदेत्

sukheśe kendrabhāvasthe tathā kendrasthito bhṛguḥ | śaśije svoccarāśisthe mātuḥ pūrṇaṃ sukhaṃ vadet

The fourth lord standing in a kendra house, and likewise Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩ placed in a kendra, and Mercury standing in its own sign of exaltation — one should declare the mother's ease to be full.

सुखे रवियुते मन्दे चन्द्रे भाग्यगते सति । लाभस्थानगतो भौमो गोमहिष्यादिलाभकृत्

sukhe raviyute mande candre bhāgyagate sati | lābhasthānagato bhaumo gomahiṣyādilābhakṛt

Saturn joined with the Sun in the fourth, and the Moon gone to the ninth — Mars, gone to the eleventh house, makes gain of cows, buffaloes and the like.

चरगेहसमायुक्ते सुखे तद्राशिनायके । षष्ठे व्यये स्थिते भौमे नरः प्राप्नोति मूकताम्

caragehasamāyukte sukhe tadrāśināyake | ṣaṣṭhe vyaye sthite bhaume naraḥ prāpnoti mūkatām

The fourth conjoined with a movable sign, and the lord of that sign, with Mars, standing in the sixth or the twelfth — the man attains muteness.

लग्नस्थानाधिपे सौम्ये सुखेशे नीचराशिगे । कारके व्ययभावस्थे सुखेशे लाभसङ्गते

lagnasthānādhipe saumye sukheśe nīcarāśige | kārake vyayabhāvasthe sukheśe lābhasaṅgate

The lord of the lagna-sthāna being a benefic, the fourth lord gone to a sign of debilitation, the kāraka standing in the twelfth house, and the fourth lord joined to the eleventh —

द्वादशे वत्सरे प्राप्ते वाहनस्य सुखं वदेत् । वाहने सूर्यसंयुक्ते स्वोच्चे तद्भावनायके

dvādaśe vatsare prāpte vāhanasya sukhaṃ vadet | vāhane sūryasaṃyukte svocce tadbhāvanāyake

— when the twelfth year is reached, one should declare the ease of a conveyance. The vāhana ⟨house — the fourth⟩ joined with the Sun, and the lord of that house in its own exaltation —

शुक्रेण संयुते वर्षे द्वात्रिंशे वाहनं भवेत् । कर्मेशेन युते बन्धुनाथे तुङ्गांशसंयुते

śukreṇa saṃyute varṣe dvātriṃśe vāhanaṃ bhavet | karmeśena yute bandhunāthe tuṅgāṃśasaṃyute

— and joined with Venus: in the thirty-second year a conveyance comes to be. The lord of the bandhu ⟨the fourth⟩ joined with the lord of karma ⟨the tenth⟩, and joined to the exaltation aṃśa —

द्विचत्वारिंशके वर्षे नरो वाहनभाग् भवेत् । लाभेशे सुखराशिस्थे सुखेशे लाभसंयुते

dvicatvāriṃśake varṣe naro vāhanabhāg bhavet | lābheśe sukharāśisthe sukheśe lābhasaṃyute

— in the forty-second year the man becomes a possessor of a conveyance. The eleventh lord standing in the sukha rāśi ⟨the fourth sign⟩, and the fourth lord joined to the eleventh —

द्वादशे वत्सरे प्राप्ते जातो वाहनभाग् भवेत् । शुभं शुभत्वे भावस्य पापत्वे फलमन्यथा

dvādaśe vatsare prāpte jāto vāhanabhāg bhavet | śubhaṃ śubhatve bhāvasya pāpatve phalamanyathā

— when the twelfth year is reached, the one born becomes a possessor of a conveyance. Auspicious, when the bhāva has auspiciousness; when it has malefic nature, the effect is otherwise.

अथ पञ्चमभावस्य कथयामि फलं द्विज । लग्नपे सुतभावस्थे सुतपे च सुते स्थिते

atha pañcamabhāvasya kathayāmi phalaṃ dvija | lagnape sutabhāvasthe sutape ca sute sthite

Now, O twice-born, I tell the fruit of the fifth house (bhāva). ⟨When⟩ the lord of the ascendant (lagna) stands in the house of children — the fifth — and the lord of the fifth stands in the fifth —

केन्द्रत्रिकोणसंस्थे वा पूर्णं पुत्रसुखं वदेत् । षष्ठाष्टमव्ययस्थे तु सुताधीशे त्वपुत्रता

kendratrikoṇasaṃsthe vā pūrṇaṃ putrasukhaṃ vadet | ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyayasthe tu sutādhīśe tvaputratā

— or ⟨when the lord of the fifth⟩ stands in a kendra or a trikoṇa: one should declare the happiness of sons complete. But when the lord of the fifth stands in the sixth, the eighth or the twelfth, ⟨there is⟩ sonlessness.

सुतेशेस्तङ्गते वाऽपि पापाक्रान्ते च निर्बले । तदा न जायते पुत्रो जातो वा म्रियते ध्रुवम्

suteśestaṅgate vā'pi pāpākrānte ca nirbale | tadā na jāyate putro jāto vā mriyate dhruvam

Or ⟨when⟩ the lord of the fifth is combust, beset by malefics, and without strength — then no son is born; or, born, he assuredly dies.

षष्ठस्थाने सुताधीशे लग्नेशे कुजसंयुते । म्रियते प्रथमापत्यं काकबन्ध्या च गेहिनी

ṣaṣṭhasthāne sutādhīśe lagneśe kujasaṃyute | mriyate prathamāpatyaṃ kākabandhyā ca gehinī

The lord of the fifth in the sixth place and the lord of the ascendant joined with Mars — the first offspring dies, and the wife is kāka-bandhyā, 'crow-barren'.

सुताधीशो हि नीचस्थो व्ययषष्ठाष्टमस्थितः । काकबन्ध्या भवेन्नारी सुते केतुबुधौ यदि

sutādhīśo hi nīcastho vyayaṣaṣṭhāṣṭamasthitaḥ | kākabandhyā bhavennārī sute ketubudhau yadi

The lord of the fifth debilitated, or placed in the twelfth, the sixth or the eighth — the woman becomes crow-barren; ⟨so too⟩ if Ketu and Mercury are in the fifth.

सुतेशो नीचगो यत्र सुतस्थानं न पश्यति । तत्र सौरिबुधौ स्यातां काकबन्ध्यात्वमाप्नुयात्

suteśo nīcago yatra sutasthānaṃ na paśyati | tatra sauribudhau syātāṃ kākabandhyātvamāpnuyāt

Where the debilitated lord of the fifth does not aspect the fifth place, and Saturn and Mercury stand there — ⟨the wife⟩ comes to crow-barrenness.

भाग्येशो मूर्तिवर्ती चेत् सुतेशो नीचगो यदि । सुते केतुबुधौ स्यातां सुतं कष्टाद् विनिर्दिशेत्

bhāgyeśo mūrtivartī cet suteśo nīcago yadi | sute ketubudhau syātāṃ sutaṃ kaṣṭād vinirdiśet

If the lord of the ninth abides in the first (mūrti), if the lord of the fifth is debilitated, and Ketu and Mercury stand in the fifth — one should declare a son ⟨got⟩ out of hardship.

षष्ठाष्टमव्ययस्थो वा नीचो वा शत्रुराशिगः । सुतेशश्च सुते तस्य कष्टात्पुत्रं विनिर्दिशेत्

ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamavyayastho vā nīco vā śatrurāśigaḥ | suteśaśca sute tasya kaṣṭātputraṃ vinirdiśet

The lord of the fifth placed in the sixth, the eighth or the twelfth, or debilitated, or gone into an enemy's sign — as to his offspring, one should declare a son ⟨got⟩ out of hardship.

पुत्रभावे बुधक्षेत्रे मन्दक्षेत्रेऽथवा पुनः । मन्दे मान्दियुते दृष्टे तदा दत्तादयः सुताः

putrabhāve budhakṣetre mandakṣetre'thavā punaḥ | mande māndiyute dṛṣṭe tadā dattādayaḥ sutāḥ

The house of children falling in Mercury's sign, or again in Saturn's, and Saturn joined with Māndi ⟨there⟩ or aspecting ⟨it⟩ — then the sons are of the 'given' kind and the rest.

रविचन्द्रौ यदैकस्थावेकांशकसमन्वितौ । त्रिमातृभिरसौ याद्वा द्विपित्राऽपि च पोषितः

ravicandrau yadaikasthāvekāṃśakasamanvitau | trimātṛbhirasau yādvā dvipitrā'pi ca poṣitaḥ

When the Sun and Moon stand in one and the same place and are joined in one aṃśaka — he is ⟨reared⟩ by three mothers, or is nourished by two fathers as well.

पञ्चमे षड्ग्रहैर्युक्ते तदीशे व्ययराशिगे । लग्नेशेन्दू बलाढयौ चेत् तदा दत्तसुतोद्भवः

pañcame ṣaḍgrahairyukte tadīśe vyayarāśige | lagneśendū balāḍhayau cet tadā dattasutodbhavaḥ

The fifth joined by six grahas, its lord gone to the twelfth sign, and the lord of the ascendant and the Moon rich in strength — then an adopted son comes to be.

सुते ज्ञजीवशुक्रैश्च सबलैरवलोकिते । भवन्ति बहवः पुत्राः सुतेशे हि बलान्विते

sute jñajīvaśukraiśca sabalairavalokite | bhavanti bahavaḥ putrāḥ suteśe hi balānvite

The fifth aspected by Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, these possessed of strength, and the lord of the fifth endowed with strength — sons are many.

सुतेशे चन्द्रसंयुक्ते तद्द्रेष्काणगतेऽपि वा । तदा हि कन्यकोत्पत्तिः प्रवदेद् दैवचिन्तकः

suteśe candrasaṃyukte taddreṣkāṇagate'pi vā | tadā hi kanyakotpattiḥ pravaded daivacintakaḥ

The lord of the fifth joined with the Moon, or else gone into her drekkāṇa — then it is the birth of daughters; so let the reckoner of destiny declare.

सुतेशे चरराशिस्थे राहुणा सहिते विधौ । पुत्रस्थानं गते मन्दे परजातं वदेच्छिशुम्

suteśe cararāśisthe rāhuṇā sahite vidhau | putrasthānaṃ gate mande parajātaṃ vadecchiśum

The lord of the fifth in a movable sign, the Moon together with Rāhu, and Saturn gone to the fifth place — one should call the child begotten of another.

लग्नादष्टमगे चन्द्रे चन्द्रादष्टमगे गुरौ । पापग्रहैर्युते दृष्टे परजातो न संशयः

lagnādaṣṭamage candre candrādaṣṭamage gurau | pāpagrahairyute dṛṣṭe parajāto na saṃśayaḥ

The Moon gone to the eighth from the ascendant, Jupiter gone to the eighth from the Moon, and ⟨he⟩ joined with or aspected by malefic grahas — begotten of another; there is no doubt.

पुत्रस्थानाधिपे स्वोच्चे लग्नाद्वा द्वित्रिकोणगे । गुरुणा संयुते दृष्टे पुत्रभाग्यमुपैति सः

putrasthānādhipe svocce lagnādvā dvitrikoṇage | guruṇā saṃyute dṛṣṭe putrabhāgyamupaiti saḥ

The lord of the fifth place in his own exaltation, or gone to the second or to a trikoṇa from the ascendant, joined with or aspected by Jupiter — he attains the good fortune of sons.

त्रिचतुःपापसंयुक्ते सुते सौम्यविवर्जिते । सुतेशे नीचराशिस्थे नीचसंस्थो भवेच्छिशुः

tricatuḥpāpasaṃyukte sute saumyavivarjite | suteśe nīcarāśisthe nīcasaṃstho bhavecchiśuḥ

The fifth joined with three or four malefics and bereft of benefics, and the lord of the fifth standing in a sign of debilitation — the child will be of low estate.

पुत्रस्थानं गते जीवे तदीशे भृगुसंयुते । द्वात्रिंशे च त्रयस्त्रिंशे वत्सरे पुत्रसम्भवः

putrasthānaṃ gate jīve tadīśe bhṛgusaṃyute | dvātriṃśe ca trayastriṃśe vatsare putrasambhavaḥ

Jupiter gone to the fifth place and its lord joined with Venus — in the thirty-second and the thirty-third year, the birth of a son.

सुतेशे केन्द्रभावस्थे कारकेण समन्विते । षट्त्रिंशे त्रिंशदब्दे च पुत्रोत्पत्तिं विनिर्दिशेत्

suteśe kendrabhāvasthe kārakeṇa samanvite | ṣaṭtriṃśe triṃśadabde ca putrotpattiṃ vinirdiśet

The lord of the fifth standing in a kendra bhāva and joined with the kāraka — in the thirty-sixth and in the thirtieth year one should declare the birth of a son.

लग्नाद् भाग्यगते जीवे जीवाद् भाग्यगते भृगौ । लग्नेशे भृगुयुक्ते वा चत्वारिंशे सुतं वदेत्

lagnād bhāgyagate jīve jīvād bhāgyagate bhṛgau | lagneśe bhṛguyukte vā catvāriṃśe sutaṃ vadet

Jupiter gone to the ninth from the ascendant, Venus gone to the ninth from Jupiter, or the lord of the ascendant joined with Venus — in the fortieth ⟨year⟩ one should declare a son.

पुत्रस्थानं गते राहौ तदीशे पापसंयुते । नीचराशिगतो जीवो द्वात्रिंशे पुत्रमृत्युदः

putrasthānaṃ gate rāhau tadīśe pāpasaṃyute | nīcarāśigato jīvo dvātriṃśe putramṛtyudaḥ

Rāhu gone to the fifth place, its lord joined with malefics, ⟨and⟩ Jupiter gone into a sign of debilitation — a giver of a son's death in the thirty-second ⟨year⟩.

जीवात् पञ्चमगे पापे लग्नात् पञ्चमगेऽपि च । षट्त्रिंशे च त्रयस्त्रिंशे चत्वारिंशे सुतक्षयः

jīvāt pañcamage pāpe lagnāt pañcamage'pi ca | ṣaṭtriṃśe ca trayastriṃśe catvāriṃśe sutakṣayaḥ

A malefic gone to the fifth from Jupiter, and to the fifth from the ascendant as well — in the thirty-sixth, the thirty-third and the fortieth ⟨year⟩, loss of a son.

लग्ने मान्दितमायुक्ते लग्नेशे नीचराशिगे । षट्पञ्चाशत्तमेऽब्दे च पुत्रशोकसमाकुलः

lagne mānditamāyukte lagneśe nīcarāśige | ṣaṭpañcāśattame'bde ca putraśokasamākulaḥ

The ascendant joined with Māndi and Tamas ⟨Rāhu⟩, and the lord of the ascendant gone into a sign of debilitation — in the fifty-sixth year he is stricken through with grief for a son.

चतुर्थे पापसंयुक्ते षष्ठभावे तथैव हि । सुतेशे परमोच्चस्थे लग्नेशेन समन्विते

caturthe pāpasaṃyukte ṣaṣṭhabhāve tathaiva hi | suteśe paramoccasthe lagneśena samanvite

The fourth joined with a malefic, and the sixth house likewise; the lord of the fifth standing in his deepest exaltation (paramocca) and joined with the lord of the ascendant —

कारके शुभसंयुक्ते दशसङ्ख्यास्तु सूनवः । परमोच्चगते जीवे धनेशे राहुसंयुते

kārake śubhasaṃyukte daśasaṅkhyāstu sūnavaḥ | paramoccagate jīve dhaneśe rāhusaṃyute

— and the kāraka joined with benefics: the sons are ten in number. Jupiter gone to his deepest exaltation, the lord of the second (wealth) joined with Rāhu —

भाग्येशे भाग्यसंयुक्ते सङ्ख्याता नव सूनवः । पुत्रभाग्यगते जीवे सुतेशे बलसंयुते

bhāgyeśe bhāgyasaṃyukte saṅkhyātā nava sūnavaḥ | putrabhāgyagate jīve suteśe balasaṃyute

— the lord of the ninth (bhāgya) joined with the ninth: the sons are reckoned nine. Jupiter gone to the fifth or to the ninth, the lord of the fifth joined with strength —

धनेशे कर्मभावस्थे वसुसङ्ख्यास्तु सूनवः । पञ्चमात् पञ्चमे मन्दे सुतस्थे च तदीश्वरे

dhaneśe karmabhāvasthe vasusaṅkhyāstu sūnavaḥ | pañcamāt pañcame mande sutasthe ca tadīśvare

— the lord of the second standing in the tenth (karma bhāva): the sons are 'vasu' in number ⟨eight⟩. Saturn in the fifth from the fifth, and its lord standing in the fifth —

सूनवः सप्तसङ्ख्याश्च द्विगर्भे यमलौ वदेत् । वित्तेशे पञ्चमस्थाने सुतस्थे च सुताधिपे

sūnavaḥ saptasaṅkhyāśca dvigarbhe yamalau vadet | vitteśe pañcamasthāne sutasthe ca sutādhipe

— the sons are seven in number; and where the womb is twofold one should declare twins. The lord of the second in the fifth place, and the lord of the fifth standing in the fifth —

जायन्ते षट् सुतास्तस्य तेषां च त्रिप्रजामृतिः । मन्दात् पञ्चमगे जीवे जीवात् पञ्चमगे शनौ

jāyante ṣaṭ sutāstasya teṣāṃ ca triprajāmṛtiḥ | mandāt pañcamage jīve jīvāt pañcamage śanau

— six sons are born to him, and of them three of the offspring die. Jupiter gone to the fifth from Saturn, Saturn gone to the fifth from Jupiter —

सुतभे पापसंयुक्ते पुत्रमेकं विनिर्दिशेत् । पञ्चमे पापयुक्ते वा जीवात् पञ्चमगे शनौ

sutabhe pāpasaṃyukte putramekaṃ vinirdiśet | pañcame pāpayukte vā jīvāt pañcamage śanau

— the sign of the fifth joined with a malefic: one should declare a single son. The fifth joined with malefics, or Saturn gone to the fifth from Jupiter —

पत्न्यन्तरे पुत्रलाभं कलत्रत्रयभाग् भवेत् । पञ्चमे पापसंयुक्ते जीवात् पञ्चमगे शनौ

patnyantare putralābhaṃ kalatratrayabhāg bhavet | pañcame pāpasaṃyukte jīvāt pañcamage śanau

Gain of a son ⟨comes⟩ by another wife; he will be a possessor of three wives. ⟨Further:⟩ when the 5th ⟨house⟩ is joined with a malefic, and Saturn stands in the 5th from Jupiter (jīva) —

लग्नेशे धनभावस्थे सुतेशो भौमसंयुतः । जातं जातं शिशुंहन्ति दीर्घायुश्च स्वयं भवेत्

lagneśe dhanabhāvasthe suteśo bhaumasaṃyutaḥ | jātaṃ jātaṃ śiśuṃhanti dīrghāyuśca svayaṃ bhavet

— when the lord of the lagna is placed in the 2nd house (dhana-bhāva) ⟨and⟩ the lord of the 5th (suteśa) is joined with Mars (bhauma): he slays each child as it is born, and he himself will be long-lived.

अथ विप्र फलं वक्ष्ये षष्ठभावसमुद्भवम् । देहे रोगव्रणाद्यं तत् श्रूयतामेकचेतसा

atha vipra phalaṃ vakṣye ṣaṣṭhabhāvasamudbhavam | dehe rogavraṇādyaṃ tat śrūyatāmekacetasā

Now, O brāhmaṇa, I shall declare the fruit that arises from the sixth bhāva — disease, wounds and the like in the body. Let that be heard with an undivided mind.

षष्ठाधिपः स्वगेहे वा देहे वाऽप्यष्टमे स्थितः । तदा व्रणो भवेद्देहे षष्ठराशिसमाश्रिते

ṣaṣṭhādhipaḥ svagehe vā dehe vā'pyaṣṭame sthitaḥ | tadā vraṇo bhaveddehe ṣaṣṭharāśisamāśrite

If the lord of the sixth stands in his own house, or in the deha ⟨the lagna⟩, or in the eighth, then a wound arises on the body — on the part governed by the sign occupying the sixth.

एवं पित्रादिभावेशास्तत्तत्कारकसंयुताः । व्रणाधिपयुताश्चापि षष्ठाष्टमयुता यदि

evaṃ pitrādibhāveśāstattatkārakasaṃyutāḥ | vraṇādhipayutāścāpi ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamayutā yadi

In like manner the lords of the bhāvas of the father and the rest, joined with their several kārakas, and joined too with the lord of the wound ⟨the sixth lord⟩, if they are joined with the sixth and the eighth —

तेषामपि व्रणं वाच्यमादित्येन शिरोव्रणम् । इन्दुना च मुखे कण्ठे भौमेन ज्ञेन नाभिषु

teṣāmapi vraṇaṃ vācyamādityena śirovraṇam | indunā ca mukhe kaṇṭhe bhaumena jñena nābhiṣu

— for them too a wound is to be declared. By the Sun, a wound on the head; by the Moon, on the face; by Mars, on the throat; by Mercury, at the navel;

गुरुणा नासिकायां च भृगुणा नयने पदे । शनिना राहुणा कुक्षौ केतुना च तथा भवेत्

guruṇā nāsikāyāṃ ca bhṛguṇā nayane pade | śaninā rāhuṇā kukṣau ketunā ca tathā bhavet

— by Jupiter, in the nose; by Venus, in the eye; in the foot, by Saturn; by Rāhu, in the belly; and by Ketu likewise.

लग्नाधिपः कुजक्षेत्रे बुधभे यदि संस्थितः । यत्र कुत्र स्थितो ज्ञेन वीक्षितो मुखरुक्प्रदः

lagnādhipaḥ kujakṣetre budhabhe yadi saṃsthitaḥ | yatra kutra sthito jñena vīkṣito mukharukpradaḥ

If the lord of the lagna is placed in a field of Mars, or in a sign of Mercury — or, placed wherever ⟨he may be⟩, is aspected by Mercury — he gives disease of the mouth.

लग्नाधिपौ कुजबुधौ चन्द्रेण यदि संयुतौ । राहुणा शनिना सार्द्धं कुष्ठं तत्र विनिर्दिशेत्

lagnādhipau kujabudhau candreṇa yadi saṃyutau | rāhuṇā śaninā sārddhaṃ kuṣṭhaṃ tatra vinirdiśet

If the lagna's lords, Mars and Mercury, are joined with the Moon, together with Rāhu and Saturn, leprosy is to be declared in that ⟨case⟩.

लग्नाधिपं विना लग्ने स्थितश्चेत्तमसा शशी । श्वेतकुष्ठं तदा कृष्णकुष्ठं च शनिना सह

lagnādhipaṃ vinā lagne sthitaścettamasā śaśī | śvetakuṣṭhaṃ tadā kṛṣṇakuṣṭhaṃ ca śaninā saha

If the Moon, without the lord of the lagna, stands in the lagna with Rāhu, then white leprosy; and with Saturn, black leprosy.

कुजेन रक्तकुष्ठं स्यात्तत्तदेवं विचारयेत् । लग्ने षष्ठाष्टमाधीशौ रविणा यदि संयुतौ

kujena raktakuṣṭhaṃ syāttattadevaṃ vicārayet | lagne ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamādhīśau raviṇā yadi saṃyutau

With Mars, red leprosy. So is each such ⟨case⟩ to be reasoned out. If the lords of the sixth and the eighth stand in the lagna joined with the Sun —

ज्वरगण्डः कुजे ग्रन्थिः शस्त्रव्रणमथापि वा । बुधेन पित्तं गुरुणा रोगाभावं विनिर्दिशेत्

jvaragaṇḍaḥ kuje granthiḥ śastravraṇamathāpi vā | budhena pittaṃ guruṇā rogābhāvaṃ vinirdiśet

— ⟨with the Sun⟩ a boil with fever; with Mars, a tumour, or else a wound from a weapon; with Mercury, bile; with Jupiter one should declare the absence of disease.

स्त्रीभिः शुक्रेण शशिना वायुना संयुतो यदि । गण्डश्चाण्डालतो नाभौ तमःकेतुयुते भयम्

strībhiḥ śukreṇa śaśinā vāyunā saṃyuto yadi | gaṇḍaścāṇḍālato nābhau tamaḥketuyute bhayam

With Venus, ⟨affliction⟩ through women; with the Moon, through wind — if so joined. A boil at the navel through a caṇḍāla; when Rāhu and Ketu are joined ⟨there⟩, danger.

चन्द्रेण गण्डः सलिलैः कफश्लेष्मादिना भवेत् । एवं पित्रादिभावानां तत्तत्कारकयोगतः

candreṇa gaṇḍaḥ salilaiḥ kaphaśleṣmādinā bhavet | evaṃ pitrādibhāvānāṃ tattatkārakayogataḥ

With the Moon, a boil arising from waters, from kapha, phlegm and the like. In this same way, for the bhāvas of the father and the rest, through the conjunction of their several kārakas —

गण्डं तेषां वदेदेवमूह्यमत्र मनीषिभिः । रोगस्थानगते पापे तदीशे पापसंयुते

gaṇḍaṃ teṣāṃ vadedevamūhyamatra manīṣibhiḥ | rogasthānagate pāpe tadīśe pāpasaṃyute

— one should declare their boil in this manner; ⟨the rest⟩ is here to be inferred by the wise. When a malefic has gone to the place of disease ⟨the sixth⟩, and its lord is joined with a malefic —

राहुणा संयुते मन्दे सर्वदा रोगसंयुतः । रोगस्थानगते भौमे तदीशे रंध्रसंयुते

rāhuṇā saṃyute mande sarvadā rogasaṃyutaḥ | rogasthānagate bhaume tadīśe raṃdhrasaṃyute

— and Saturn joined with Rāhu, ⟨the native⟩ is at all times beset with disease. When Mars has gone to the place of disease, and its lord is joined with the ⟨lord of the⟩ eighth —

षड्वर्षे द्वादशे वर्षे ज्वररोगी भवेन्नरः । षष्ठस्थानगते जीवे तद्गृहे चन्द्रसंयुते

ṣaḍvarṣe dvādaśe varṣe jvararogī bhavennaraḥ | ṣaṣṭhasthānagate jīve tadgṛhe candrasaṃyute

— in the sixth year and in the twelfth year the man becomes a sufferer from fever. When Jupiter has gone to the sixth place, and that house is joined with the Moon —

द्वाविंशैकोनविंशेऽब्दे कुष्ठरोगं विनिर्दिशेत् । रोगस्थानं गतो राहुः केन्द्रे मान्दिसमन्विते

dvāviṃśaikonaviṃśe'bde kuṣṭharogaṃ vinirdiśet | rogasthānaṃ gato rāhuḥ kendre māndisamanvite

— in the twenty-second and the nineteenth year one should declare leprosy. Rāhu gone to the place of disease, and Māndi being in a kendra —

लग्नेशे नाशराशिस्थे षड्विंशे क्षयरोगता । व्ययेशे रोगराशिस्थे तदीशे व्ययराशिगे

lagneśe nāśarāśisthe ṣaḍviṃśe kṣayarogatā | vyayeśe rogarāśisthe tadīśe vyayarāśige

— the lord of the lagna being in the sign of destruction, in the twenty-sixth ⟨year⟩ there is wasting disease. The lord of the twelfth being in the sign of disease ⟨the sixth⟩, and its lord gone to the twelfth sign —

त्रिंशद्वर्षैकोनवर्षे गुल्मरोगं विनिर्दिशेत् । रिपुस्थानगते चन्द्रे शनिना संयुते सति

triṃśadvarṣaikonavarṣe gulmarogaṃ vinirdiśet | ripusthānagate candre śaninā saṃyute sati

— in the thirtieth year ⟨and⟩ in the year one less ⟨the twenty-ninth⟩, one should declare gulma. The Moon having gone to the place of the enemy ⟨the sixth⟩, and being joined with Saturn —
