Daivajña Vallabha

नत्वोद्गिरन्तमनलं भैरवमद्वैतमीश्वरं नृहरिम् । वराहेणैषा क्रियते प्रश्ने दैवज्ञवल्लभारचना

natvodgirantamanalaṃ bhairavamadvaitamīśvaraṃ nṛharim | varāheṇaiṣā kriyate praśne daivajñavallabhāracanā

Having bowed to Nṛhari ⟨the man-lion⟩ — who spews forth fire, who is Bhairava, non-dual, the Lord — this composition, the Daivajñavallabhā, is made by Varāha upon praśna ⟨the query⟩.

दीप्ताद्यं दशभेदं व्योमचराणां निरूप्य भावफलम् । पृष्टो यद्यत्कथयति शुभाशुभं तत्तदन्यथा नोक्तम्

dīptādyaṃ daśabhedaṃ vyomacarāṇāṃ nirūpya bhāvaphalam | pṛṣṭo yadyatkathayati śubhāśubhaṃ tattadanyathā noktam

Having determined the tenfold ⟨states⟩ of the sky-goers ⟨grahas⟩, beginning with dīpta, and the fruit of the bhāvas ⟨houses⟩ — whatever auspicious or inauspicious ⟨thing⟩ ⟨the daivajña,⟩ being asked, declares, that, in each case, is not spoken otherwise ⟨than it falls out⟩.

दीप्तो दीनः स्वस्थो मुदितः सुप्तः प्रपीडितो मुषितः । परिहीयमानवीर्यः प्रवृद्धवीर्योऽधिवीर्यश्च

dīpto dīnaḥ svastho muditaḥ suptaḥ prapīḍito muṣitaḥ | parihīyamānavīryaḥ pravṛddhavīryo'dhivīryaśca

Dīpta ⟨blazing⟩, dīna ⟨wretched⟩, svastha ⟨at ease⟩, mudita ⟨delighted⟩, supta ⟨asleep⟩, prapīḍita ⟨afflicted⟩, muṣita ⟨robbed⟩, parihīyamāna-vīrya ⟨of waning strength⟩, pravṛddha-vīrya ⟨of grown strength⟩, and adhivīrya ⟨of surpassing strength⟩ ⟨— these are the ten⟩.

स्वोच्चे दीप्तो नीचे दीनः स्वगृहे व्यवस्थितः स्वस्थः । मुदितो मित्रगृहस्थो रिपुगेहस्थो भवेत्सुप्तः

svocce dīpto nīce dīnaḥ svagṛhe vyavasthitaḥ svasthaḥ | mudito mitragṛhastho ripugehastho bhavetsuptaḥ

In its own exaltation ⟨a graha is⟩ dīpta; in debilitation, dīna; stationed in its own house ⟨sign⟩, svastha; standing in a friend's house, mudita; standing in an enemy's house it becomes supta.

अन्यैर्विजितो युद्धे निपीडितोऽस्तंगतो मुषितः । परिहीयमानवीर्यो नीचाभिमुखं प्रसर्पश्च

anyairvijito yuddhe nipīḍito'staṃgato muṣitaḥ | parihīyamānavīryo nīcābhimukhaṃ prasarpaśca

Vanquished by others in ⟨graha-⟩war, ⟨it is⟩ nipīḍita ⟨= prapīḍita, afflicted⟩; gone to setting ⟨combust⟩, muṣita ⟨robbed⟩; and creeping toward its debilitation, parihīyamāna-vīrya ⟨of waning strength⟩.

गच्छन् स्वोच्चाभिमुखं प्रवृद्धवीर्यः समाख्यातः । शुभवर्गस्थः खेटोऽधिकवीर्यो विपुलरश्मिश्च

gacchan svoccābhimukhaṃ pravṛddhavīryaḥ samākhyātaḥ | śubhavargasthaḥ kheṭo'dhikavīryo vipularaśmiśca

Going toward its own exaltation, it is declared pravṛddha-vīrya ⟨of grown strength⟩; a kheṭa ⟨graha⟩ standing in an auspicious varga is adhika-vīrya ⟨of surpassing strength⟩ and of abundant rays.

दीप्ते सिद्धिरनुत्तमा नरपतेर्दीने च दैन्यागमः स्वस्थे स्वे मनसि स्थितं च भवति श्रीकीर्तिसौख्यादिकम् । आमोदो मुदिते यथेप्सितफलप्राप्तिः प्रसुप्ते विपत्पीडाशत्रुकृता प्रपीडिततनौ मोषं गतेऽर्थक्षयः

dīpte siddhiranuttamā narapaterdīne ca dainyāgamaḥ svasthe sve manasi sthitaṃ ca bhavati śrīkīrtisaukhyādikam | āmodo mudite yathepsitaphalaprāptiḥ prasupte vipatpīḍāśatrukṛtā prapīḍitatanau moṣaṃ gate'rthakṣayaḥ

When ⟨the graha is⟩ dīpta, there is unsurpassed success from the king; when dīna, the coming of wretchedness; when svastha, what stands in one's own mind comes about — prosperity, fame, comfort and the like; when mudita, delight, ⟨and⟩ the attainment of the fruit as desired; when prasupta ⟨asleep⟩, calamity; when the body ⟨of the graha⟩ is prapīḍita, affliction wrought by enemies; when it has gone to plunder ⟨muṣita⟩, loss of wealth.

भवति प्रवृद्धवीर्ये गजतुरंगसुवर्णभूलाभः । तद्वदधिवीर्ययुक्ते शक्तित्रयसम्पदादिबाहुल्यम्

bhavati pravṛddhavīrye gajaturaṃgasuvarṇabhūlābhaḥ | tadvadadhivīryayukte śaktitrayasampadādibāhulyam

When ⟨the graha is⟩ pravṛddha-vīrya there is gain of elephants, horses, gold and land; likewise when ⟨it is⟩ joined with adhivīrya ⟨surpassing strength⟩, abundance of the three śaktis ⟨the ruler's powers⟩, of wealth, and the rest.

पुष्पैः फलैः कनकरत्नयुतैः स्वभूमौ नक्षत्रजातिसहितं ग्रहराशिचक्रम् । अभ्यर्च्य भक्तिभरबंधुरकंधराग्रः श्रद्धां विधाय निजचेतसि निर्विकल्पे

puṣpaiḥ phalaiḥ kanakaratnayutaiḥ svabhūmau nakṣatrajātisahitaṃ graharāśicakram | abhyarcya bhaktibharabaṃdhurakaṃdharāgraḥ śraddhāṃ vidhāya nijacetasi nirvikalpe

Having worshipped — with flowers, with fruits, with gold and gems — upon his own ground the cakra of grahas and rāśis together with the nakṣatras and their kinds, and, the tip of his neck bowed under the weight of devotion, having set ⟨that⟩ faith within his own mind, ⟨which is⟩ free of wavering —

प्रातः पुमान्विहितदेवगुरुप्रणामः पाणौ वहन् कुसुमरत्नफलाक्षतांश्च । सत्कृत्य दैवविदमादरमादधानः पृच्छेत्सकृच्छुभमनाः शुभदिङ्मुखस्थः

prātaḥ pumānvihitadevagurupraṇāmaḥ pāṇau vahan kusumaratnaphalākṣatāṃśca | satkṛtya daivavidamādaramādadhānaḥ pṛcchetsakṛcchubhamanāḥ śubhadiṅmukhasthaḥ

— at dawn the man, having made his obeisance to the gods and to the guru, carrying in his hand flowers, gems, fruits and unbroken rice ⟨akṣata⟩, honouring the daivavid ⟨the astrologer⟩ and bearing respect toward him, of auspicious mind, standing facing an auspicious direction, should put his query once.

प्रश्नाक्षरैरुदयहेतुभिरुल्लसद्भिर्बाह्यस्थितैश्च शकुनैरधिगम्य सम्यक् । प्रष्टुः शुभं च यदि वाप्यशुभं प्रयत्नात्तत्कालजं तदिह दैवविदाऽभिधेयम्

praśnākṣarairudayahetubhirullasadbhirbāhyasthitaiśca śakunairadhigamya samyak | praṣṭuḥ śubhaṃ ca yadi vāpyaśubhaṃ prayatnāttatkālajaṃ tadiha daivavidā'bhidheyam

By the syllables of the query, by the indicators of the rising ⟨lagna⟩, and by the omens appearing outside — having ascertained ⟨the matter⟩ rightly, with effort, whatever is auspicious for the querent, or else inauspicious, ⟨as⟩ born of that very moment, that is here to be pronounced by the daivavid ⟨the astrologer⟩.

फलभरकुसुमाभिरामभूमिरुहभुवि गोमयपुष्पतोयवत्याम् । चरणसुखकृति प्रपृच्छतां स्यादभिमतसिद्धिरसंशयेन पुंसाम्

phalabharakusumābhirāmabhūmiruhabhuvi gomayapuṣpatoyavatyām | caraṇasukhakṛti prapṛcchatāṃ syādabhimatasiddhirasaṃśayena puṃsām

On ground ⟨set⟩ with trees lovely with a load of fruit and with blossom, ⟨ground⟩ possessed of cow-dung, flowers and water, ⟨and⟩ giving comfort to the feet — for men who put their query ⟨there⟩, accomplishment of what they intend comes about, beyond doubt.

दृक्चेतसोः सुखकरी यदि भूमिरस्ति मांगल्यवस्तुविषये शुभदर्शने चेत् । प्रच्छाविधौ शुभमुपस्थितमादरेण तत्रापि वाच्यमिति वक्ति मयो मणित्थः

dṛkcetasoḥ sukhakarī yadi bhūmirasti māṃgalyavastuviṣaye śubhadarśane cet | pracchāvidhau śubhamupasthitamādareṇa tatrāpi vācyamiti vakti mayo maṇitthaḥ

If the ground is pleasing to eye and mind, and if there is an auspicious sight in the matter of auspicious objects, then at the rite of asking an auspicious ⟨sign⟩ has duly presented itself; there too ⟨an auspicious result⟩ is to be pronounced — so declare Maya ⟨and⟩ Maṇittha.

प्रष्टुः शुभैः पञ्चभिरिष्टलाभोऽनिष्टप्रदैः पञ्चभिरप्यनिष्टम् । तुल्यैर्बलाबलवशात्फलमूहनीयं ज्ञेयं चतुर्भिरथ वापिफलं बलाच्च

praṣṭuḥ śubhaiḥ pañcabhiriṣṭalābho'niṣṭapradaiḥ pañcabhirapyaniṣṭam | tulyairbalābalavaśātphalamūhanīyaṃ jñeyaṃ caturbhiratha vāpiphalaṃ balācca

For the querent, from five auspicious ⟨indications⟩ comes the gaining of what is wished for; from five that yield the unwished, the unwished likewise. When they are equal, the result is to be inferred according to their relative strength; and with four ⟨as well⟩ the result is to be known from strength.

भावः स्वेशेनेक्षितो वा युतः स्यात्पापादन्यैर्वापि तस्यास्ति वृद्धिः । सौम्या यस्यान्त्यास्तखस्वांबुगा वा पापैरेवं हानिरादेशनीया

bhāvaḥ sveśenekṣito vā yutaḥ syātpāpādanyairvāpi tasyāsti vṛddhiḥ | saumyā yasyāntyāstakhasvāṃbugā vā pāpairevaṃ hānirādeśanīyā

A house (bhāva) that is aspected or joined by its own lord, or by others than malefics ⟨that is, by benefics⟩ — for that ⟨house⟩ there is increase. Or ⟨likewise for that house⟩ from which the benefics stand in the 12th, the 7th, the 10th, its own ⟨place⟩ and the 4th; with malefics so placed, loss is to be declared.

पर्यायसंज्ञा चैतेषां कथ्यते मुनिसंमता । कार्यसंज्ञा च तस्योक्ता तस्मात्प्रश्नविचारणा

paryāyasaṃjñā caiteṣāṃ kathyate munisaṃmatā | kāryasaṃjñā ca tasyoktā tasmātpraśnavicāraṇā

The paryāya designation of these ⟨houses⟩, as approved by the sages, is now stated; and the kārya designation ⟨the matters signified⟩ belonging to each is told. From that ⟨proceeds⟩ the examination of the query (praśna).

आरोग्यपूजागुणकल्पवृत्तमायुर्वयोजातिरदोषसौख्यम् । क्लेशाकृती लक्षणरूपवर्णास्तद्भागिनेयस्य वधूस्तनौ स्यात्

ārogyapūjāguṇakalpavṛttamāyurvayojātiradoṣasaukhyam | kleśākṛtī lakṣaṇarūpavarṇāstadbhāgineyasya vadhūstanau syāt

Health, worship ⟨and honour⟩, good qualities, capacity, conduct, length of life, age, caste, freedom from blemish, comfort, distress, bodily form, ⟨auspicious⟩ marks, beauty and complexion — and the wife of one's sister's son: ⟨these⟩ fall to the tanu ⟨the 1st house⟩.

माणिक्यमुक्ताफलरत्नधातुद्रव्याम्बरस्वर्णहयादिकार्यम् । रूप्यं सधान्यक्रयविक्रयादि साधारणंतद्भवति द्वितीये

māṇikyamuktāphalaratnadhātudravyāmbarasvarṇahayādikāryam | rūpyaṃ sadhānyakrayavikrayādi sādhāraṇaṃtadbhavati dvitīye

Ruby, pearl, gems, metals, goods, garments, gold, horses and the like as matters ⟨of enquiry⟩; silver, together with grain, and buying and selling and so forth — ⟨all⟩ this in general belongs to the second.

स्नुषानुजक्षेमसुबुद्धिलाभभृत्यादिदासीभटकर्मकर्तुः । भ्रात्रादिचिन्ताविषयं समग्रं पर्यायमेतत् कथितं तृतीये

snuṣānujakṣemasubuddhilābhabhṛtyādidāsībhaṭakarmakartuḥ | bhrātrādicintāviṣayaṃ samagraṃ paryāyametat kathitaṃ tṛtīye

Daughter-in-law, younger brother, welfare, sound understanding, gain, servants and the like, maidservants, footmen, and the doer of work; and the whole field of enquiry concerning brothers and the rest — this paryāya is declared for the third.

गृहं निधानं विवरप्रवेशो महौषधक्षेत्रखलादिवाटी । सुहृज्जलं वै पितृपप्रयोगो गमागमौ ग्रामसुखादिकं च

gṛhaṃ nidhānaṃ vivarapraveśo mahauṣadhakṣetrakhalādivāṭī | suhṛjjalaṃ vai pitṛpaprayogo gamāgamau grāmasukhādikaṃ ca

House, buried treasure, entering a cavern, potent herbs, fields, threshing-floors, gardens and the like; friends and water; the rite ⟨offered⟩ to the lord of the ancestors; going and coming; village, comfort and so forth —

स्थानच्युतिर्लाभगृहप्रवेशो वृद्धिर्जनित्री जनकश्च तद्वत् । देशादिकार्याण्यपि लाभमस्य पर्यायमेतत्कथयन्ति तुर्ये

sthānacyutirlābhagṛhapraveśo vṛddhirjanitrī janakaśca tadvat | deśādikāryāṇyapi lābhamasya paryāyametatkathayanti turye

Fall from one's place, gain, entering a house, increase, the mother and likewise the father, matters of country and the rest, and gain thereof too — this paryāya they declare for the fourth.

नानाप्रयोगो विनयप्रबन्धविनेयविद्यानयबुद्धिमंत्राः । संधानगर्भाङ्गभवादिकं च प्रज्ञासुतार्थस्य च पंचमे स्यात्

nānāprayogo vinayaprabandhavineyavidyānayabuddhimaṃtrāḥ | saṃdhānagarbhāṅgabhavādikaṃ ca prajñāsutārthasya ca paṃcame syāt

Undertakings of many kinds; discipline, composition, pupils, learning, policy, intelligence and counsel; conception, the womb, offspring of one's body and so forth; and wisdom, sons and their wealth — ⟨all⟩ this belongs to the fifth.

अस्वास्थ्यदौस्थित्यविपक्षदासक्रूरोग्रकर्मापरकृत्यशङ्काः । युद्धादितन्मातुलमाहिषाद्यं रोगोऽपि चिन्त्यो रिपुभावतुल्यः

asvāsthyadausthityavipakṣadāsakrūrograkarmāparakṛtyaśaṅkāḥ | yuddhāditanmātulamāhiṣādyaṃ rogo'pi cintyo ripubhāvatulyaḥ

Ill health, wretched condition, adversaries, slaves, cruel and violent deeds, hostile acts ⟨of sorcery⟩ worked by others and the fear of them; war and the rest, one's maternal uncle, buffaloes and so forth; and disease too is to be considered ⟨here⟩ — ⟨all⟩ alike belonging to the ripu-bhāva ⟨the 6th house⟩.

वस्तुक्रयस्वास्थ्यवणिज्यवादकामोदयो दासकलत्रचौर्यम् । निवृत्तिस्वस्रेयगमागमाद्यं कलत्रपर्यायमिदं निरुक्तम्

vastukrayasvāsthyavaṇijyavādakāmodayo dāsakalatracauryam | nivṛttisvasreyagamāgamādyaṃ kalatraparyāyamidaṃ niruktam

The purchase of goods, well-being, trade, disputation, the rising of desire, servants, wife, theft; cessation, the sister's son, going and coming and the rest — this is declared the paryāya of the kalatra ⟨the 7th house⟩.

आयुर्विरोधो निधनं च राज्यं भेदोऽथ वा बन्धुजनस्य छिद्रम् । वैषम्य दुर्गादिकलत्रशत्रुवधो नदीतारणमष्टमर्क्षे

āyurvirodho nidhanaṃ ca rājyaṃ bhedo'tha vā bandhujanasya chidram | vaiṣamya durgādikalatraśatruvadho nadītāraṇamaṣṭamarkṣe

Length of life, opposition, death, kingdom, a breach, or the weak point of one's kinsfolk; hardship, forts and the like, wife, enemy, slaying, and the crossing of a river — ⟨these⟩ in the eighth sign.

स्वाध्यायदीक्षासुरगेहयात्रा नृपाभिषेको गुरुधर्मकृत्यम् । जलाशयश्यालकदेवरादीन् भ्रातुर्गृहिण्यो नवमस्य पूर्वैः

svādhyāyadīkṣāsuragehayātrā nṛpābhiṣeko gurudharmakṛtyam | jalāśayaśyālakadevarādīn bhrāturgṛhiṇyo navamasya pūrvaiḥ

Recitation of one's own Veda, initiation, journeys to the houses of the gods, the consecration of a king, the guru and acts of dharma; reservoirs, the wife's brother, the husband's younger brother and the like, and the wives of one's brothers — ⟨these⟩ the earlier ⟨teachers assign⟩ to the ninth.

आकाशवृत्तान्तजलप्रपातः स्थानं पितुः कार्यसुखादिमानम् । पुण्यं नृपत्वं च तथाऽधिकारो मुद्राच्युतिस्तद्दशमस्य तुल्यम्

ākāśavṛttāntajalaprapātaḥ sthānaṃ pituḥ kāryasukhādimānam | puṇyaṃ nṛpatvaṃ ca tathā'dhikāro mudrācyutistaddaśamasya tulyam

Happenings in the sky, the fall of water ⟨rain⟩, the father's station, ⟨one's⟩ affairs, comfort and the rest, honour, religious merit, kingship, and likewise office, and the loss of the signet ⟨fall from office⟩ — that is what belongs to the tenth.

कार्यस्य वृद्धिः क्रयवृद्धिलब्धिर्गजाश्ववस्त्रादिकयानशय्याः । स्वर्णानुवित्तापहृतादिकन्यालाभो गजादेः श्वशुराद्यमाये

kāryasya vṛddhiḥ krayavṛddhilabdhirgajāśvavastrādikayānaśayyāḥ | svarṇānuvittāpahṛtādikanyālābho gajādeḥ śvaśurādyamāye

Increase of one's undertaking; the gain got from a rise in price; elephants, horses, garments and the like, carriages and couches; gold, wealth acquired afterwards, goods carried off and so forth; the obtaining of a girl, and of elephants and the rest, and the father-in-law and his kind — ⟨these⟩ in the āya ⟨the 11th house⟩.

त्यागादिभोगेष्टिविवाहदानकृष्यादिकर्मव्ययसंक्षतिश्च । पितृव्यमातृष्वसृमातुलानीयुद्धेक्षणं युद्धपराजयोऽन्त्ये

tyāgādibhogeṣṭivivāhadānakṛṣyādikarmavyayasaṃkṣatiśca | pitṛvyamātṛṣvasṛmātulānīyuddhekṣaṇaṃ yuddhaparājayo'ntye

Renunciation and the like, enjoyment, sacrifice, marriage, gifts, ploughing and such work, expenditure and injury; the paternal uncle, the mother's sister, the maternal uncle's wife, the witnessing of battle, and defeat in war — ⟨these⟩ in the last ⟨the 12th house⟩.

यद्यद्भावेषु यद्वस्तु कथितं यवनादिभिः । तत्कार्यसंज्ञमाख्यातं ततः प्रश्नविचारणा

yadyadbhāveṣu yadvastu kathitaṃ yavanādibhiḥ | tatkāryasaṃjñamākhyātaṃ tataḥ praśnavicāraṇā

Whatever object has been stated for each of the houses (bhāvas) by Yavana and the rest, that is called the kārya designation; from that ⟨proceeds⟩ the examination of the query.

यस्य भावस्य यद्वस्तु प्रश्नमात्रे प्रकाशितम् । तत्पृच्छायां तु तल्लग्नमेवं वा पूर्ववद् भवेत्

yasya bhāvasya yadvastu praśnamātre prakāśitam | tatpṛcchāyāṃ tu tallagnamevaṃ vā pūrvavad bhavet

Whatever object of whatever house is made plain in the query itself — in the asking about that, that ⟨house⟩ becomes the lagna; ⟨so it may be⟩ thus, or else as before.

यद्यद्भावेषु यत्कर्म तस्माल्लग्नव्यवस्थितिः । अतीतानागते कार्ये त्वतीतानागतादपि

yadyadbhāveṣu yatkarma tasmāllagnavyavasthitiḥ | atītānāgate kārye tvatītānāgatādapi

Whatever business belongs to whichever house, from that ⟨house⟩ the placing of the lagna follows; but for a matter past or yet to come, ⟨it follows⟩ from the past or the coming ⟨house⟩ as well.

मूर्द्धोदये सौम्यविलग्नगे वा लग्नेऽपि वा सौम्ययुते शुभं स्यात् । अतोऽन्यथात्वे तु तदन्यथात्वं मिश्रं विमिश्रैरधिकं बलाढ्यैः

mūrddhodaye saumyavilagnage vā lagne'pi vā saumyayute śubhaṃ syāt | ato'nyathātve tu tadanyathātvaṃ miśraṃ vimiśrairadhikaṃ balāḍhyaiḥ

At the rising of a head-rising ⟨sign⟩, or when ⟨the lagna⟩ falls in a benefic's ⟨sign⟩, or again when the lagna is joined by a benefic, the result will be auspicious. When it is otherwise than this, the result too is otherwise. With mixed ⟨grahas⟩ it is mixed, and preponderantly so from those rich in strength.

केन्द्रोपगा नवमपंचमगाश्च सौम्याः केन्द्राष्टवर्ज्यमशुभास्त्रिषडायसंस्थाः । सर्वार्थसाधनकराः परिपृच्छतां स्युरेभिर्विपर्ययगुणैस्तु विपर्ययः स्यात्

kendropagā navamapaṃcamagāśca saumyāḥ kendrāṣṭavarjyamaśubhāstriṣaḍāyasaṃsthāḥ | sarvārthasādhanakarāḥ paripṛcchatāṃ syurebhirviparyayaguṇaistu viparyayaḥ syāt

Benefics occupying the kendras and standing in the 9th and the 5th, and malefics — avoiding the kendras and the 8th — placed in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th, bring about every object for those who enquire; but with these of contrary quality ⟨that is, contrarily placed⟩, the contrary comes to pass.

केन्द्रादिनाथो यदि लग्नगः स्यात्तन्मित्रमेतस्य च केन्द्रगं वा । व्ययाष्टकेन्द्राण्यपहाय पापाश्चान्यत्र याता यदि तच्छुभं स्यात्

kendrādinātho yadi lagnagaḥ syāttanmitrametasya ca kendragaṃ vā | vyayāṣṭakendrāṇyapahāya pāpāścānyatra yātā yadi tacchubhaṃ syāt

If the lord of a kendra or of the like ⟨good houses⟩ stands in the lagna, or its friend occupies a kendra from it; and if the malefics, leaving aside the 12th, the 8th and the kendras, have gone elsewhere — then that is auspicious.

नरराशिलग्नमभिवीक्षितं शुभैरुदयास्तबन्धुदशगैः शुभैस्तथा । त्रिकलाभषष्ठभगतैस्तथाशुभैः शुभलाभवित्तविषयांस्तदा वदेत्

nararāśilagnamabhivīkṣitaṃ śubhairudayāstabandhudaśagaiḥ śubhaistathā | trikalābhaṣaṣṭhabhagataistathāśubhaiḥ śubhalābhavittaviṣayāṃstadā vadet

When a human-sign lagna is aspected by benefics, and benefics likewise stand in the rising ⟨1st⟩, the setting ⟨7th⟩, the bandhu ⟨4th⟩ and the 10th, and malefics likewise stand in the 3rd, the āya ⟨11th⟩ and the 6th signs — then one should declare matters of auspiciousness, gain and wealth.

कन्यातुला च मिथुनं च घटो नृराशिश्चैतेषुसौम्यसहितेषु शुभं विभाव्यम् । पापा व्ययायभगता न शुभा विलग्ने पापः शशी न शुभदो दशमे शुभश्च

kanyātulā ca mithunaṃ ca ghaṭo nṛrāśiścaiteṣusaumyasahiteṣu śubhaṃ vibhāvyam | pāpā vyayāyabhagatā na śubhā vilagne pāpaḥ śaśī na śubhado daśame śubhaśca

Virgo, Libra, Gemini and Aquarius are human signs; when these are accompanied by benefics, the auspicious is to be reckoned. Malefics gone to the 12th and the 11th signs are not auspicious as reckoned from the lagna. A malefic ⟨and⟩ the Moon give no good in the 10th, and a benefic ⟨does⟩.

चतुष्पदे वा द्विपदे विलग्ने पापग्रहस्तेन तदीक्षितश्च । शुभग्रहैस्त्वीक्षित एव वृद्धिं नृराशिलग्ने तु शुभं समस्तम्

catuṣpade vā dvipade vilagne pāpagrahastena tadīkṣitaśca | śubhagrahaistvīkṣita eva vṛddhiṃ nṛrāśilagne tu śubhaṃ samastam

When the lagna is a quadruped or a biped sign and a malefic graha ⟨stands in it⟩, ⟨the result follows⟩ from that and from ⟨the lagna⟩ being aspected by it; but aspected by benefic grahas alone ⟨there is⟩ increase; and in a human-sign lagna the whole is auspicious.

उदयतुहिनदीधिती भवेतां यदि च शुभैरभिवीक्षितौ तदानीम् । शुभमशुभमतोऽन्यथेत्यभीष्टं गुणिगणमौलिमणेः शशिप्रभोस्तु

udayatuhinadīdhitī bhavetāṃ yadi ca śubhairabhivīkṣitau tadānīm | śubhamaśubhamato'nyathetyabhīṣṭaṃ guṇigaṇamaulimaṇeḥ śaśiprabhostu

If at that time the rising ⟨lagna⟩ and the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ should both be aspected by benefics, ⟨it is⟩ auspicious; ⟨if⟩ otherwise than this, inauspicious — such is the accepted view of Śaśiprabhu, the crest-jewel of the company of the learned.

लाभास्तपंचसहजेषु शुभग्रहाः स्युर्लाभप्रदा ददति नेष्टफलानि पापाः । स्थानं शुभा दशमसप्तमगाश्च दद्युर्मानार्थदा द्वितयपंचमलग्नगाश्च

lābhāstapaṃcasahajeṣu śubhagrahāḥ syurlābhapradā dadati neṣṭaphalāni pāpāḥ | sthānaṃ śubhā daśamasaptamagāśca dadyurmānārthadā dvitayapaṃcamalagnagāśca

Benefic grahas standing in the 11th (lābha), the 7th (asta), the 5th and the 3rd (sahaja) are givers of gain; malefics ⟨there⟩ give results that are not desired. Benefics gone to the 10th and the 7th give position, and those gone to the 2nd, the 5th and the lagna are givers of honour and wealth.

चन्द्रं सप्तदशद्विषष्ठसहजायस्थानसंस्थं शुभः पश्येद्वै प्रमदाकृतं शुभफलं लाभादिकं स्यात्तदा । लग्नाष्टत्रिनवात्मजेषु च भयं कायार्थनाशोऽशुभैरेतेष्वेव गताः शुभास्तु शुभदा मानार्थसम्पत्तये

candraṃ saptadaśadviṣaṣṭhasahajāyasthānasaṃsthaṃ śubhaḥ paśyedvai pramadākṛtaṃ śubhaphalaṃ lābhādikaṃ syāttadā | lagnāṣṭatrinavātmajeṣu ca bhayaṃ kāyārthanāśo'śubhaireteṣveva gatāḥ śubhāstu śubhadā mānārthasampattaye

When a benefic aspects the Moon standing in the places of the 7th, the 10th, the 2nd, the 6th, the 3rd (sahaja) and the 11th (āya), then auspicious fruit brought about by a woman, and gain and the like, come to pass. And by malefics ⟨placed⟩ in the lagna, the 8th, the 3rd, the 9th and the 5th (ātmaja) there is fear, and destruction of body and wealth; but benefics gone to these very ⟨houses⟩ are givers of the auspicious — for the attaining of honour and wealth.

त्रिकोणकेन्द्रालयगाः शुभग्रहास्तथाऽशुभाश्च त्र्यरिलाभगा यदि । भवन्ति लाभाय तदाऽऽशु पृच्छतां विपर्ययस्थास्तु न लाभदा अमी

trikoṇakendrālayagāḥ śubhagrahāstathā'śubhāśca tryarilābhagā yadi | bhavanti lābhāya tadā''śu pṛcchatāṃ viparyayasthāstu na lābhadā amī

If benefic grahas are gone to the houses of trikoṇa and kendra, and malefics likewise to the 3rd, the 6th (ari) and the 11th (lābha), then they make for gain, and swiftly, for those who ask; but standing the reverse of this, these same grahas are not givers of gain.

चन्द्रश्चतुर्थे यदि सप्तमे शुभो विलग्नगो वा दशमे विवस्वान् । सद्योऽर्थलाभो मनुजस्य वाच्यस्तदेति सत्यो बलिरेवमाह

candraścaturthe yadi saptame śubho vilagnago vā daśame vivasvān | sadyo'rthalābho manujasya vācyastadeti satyo balirevamāha

If the Moon ⟨is⟩ in the 4th, a benefic in the 7th or gone to the lagna, or the Sun (Vivasvān) in the 10th, immediate gain of wealth is to be declared for the man; and that comes out true. Thus has Bali spoken.

वृषहर्य्यालिघटैः स्थानप्राप्तिं वदेन्न चरराशौ । द्वितनौ लग्नोपगते चरस्थिरोक्तं फलं दलतः

vṛṣaharyyālighaṭaiḥ sthānaprāptiṃ vadenna cararāśau | dvitanau lagnopagate carasthiroktaṃ phalaṃ dalataḥ

By Taurus, Leo (hari), Scorpio (ali) and Aquarius (ghaṭa) one should declare attainment of position — not in a movable sign. When a two-bodied ⟨sign⟩ (dvitanu) has come to the lagna, the fruit stated for the movable and the fixed ⟨is had⟩ by halves.

स्थिरे विलग्ने न गमागमौ स्तश्चरे विलग्ने तु विनिश्चितौ तौ । मिश्रं फलं स्याद्वि तनौ तदर्धं द्वये चरस्थावरवत्तदूह्यम्

sthire vilagne na gamāgamau staścare vilagne tu viniścitau tau | miśraṃ phalaṃ syādvi tanau tadardhaṃ dvaye carasthāvaravattadūhyam

In a fixed (sthira) lagna there is neither going nor coming; but in a movable (cara) lagna those two are certain. In a two-bodied ⟨lagna⟩ the result would be mixed — half of that; and in the two ⟨halves⟩ it is to be inferred as ⟨behaving⟩ like a movable and like a fixed ⟨sign⟩.

सूरसौरिगुरुसौम्यसितानामेककोऽपि चरलग्नगतश्चेत् । आशु तर्हि गमनं स्पृहणीयं वक्रतामुपगतस्तु न हीति

sūrasaurigurusaumyasitānāmekako'pi caralagnagataścet | āśu tarhi gamanaṃ spṛhaṇīyaṃ vakratāmupagatastu na hīti

If even a single one among the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury (saumya) and Venus is placed in a movable lagna, then the longed-for departure ⟨comes about⟩ quickly; but one that has gone into retrogression ⟨gives⟩ not so.

स्थिरराशिलग्नवर्ती गुरुबुधसितभास्करेषु यद्येकः । गन्तुः पथो निवृत्तिं जनयति निःसंशयं प्रश्ने

sthirarāśilagnavartī gurubudhasitabhāskareṣu yadyekaḥ | gantuḥ patho nivṛttiṃ janayati niḥsaṃśayaṃ praśne

If one ⟨graha⟩ among Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and the Sun stands in a fixed sign as the lagna, in the query it produces beyond doubt the traveller's turning back from the road.

रविर्वा गुरुर्वा बुधो वा सितो वा भवेदायराशिस्थितः प्रश्नकाले । गतिः पृच्छतः शीघ्रमेवाभिधेया निवृत्तिं पथोऽमीभिरन्त्यालयस्थैः

ravirvā gururvā budho vā sito vā bhavedāyarāśisthitaḥ praśnakāle | gatiḥ pṛcchataḥ śīghramevābhidheyā nivṛttiṃ patho'mībhirantyālayasthaiḥ

If the Sun, or Jupiter, or Mercury, or Venus is standing in the āya rāśi (the 11th) at the time of the query, the querent's setting out is to be declared swift indeed; ⟨but⟩ by these same ⟨grahas⟩ standing in the last house (the 12th), a turning back from the road ⟨is to be declared⟩.

सौरांगिरसोः पश्येदेकोऽपि वा स्थिरं समुद्यन्तम् । प्रष्टाऽऽगमनं पृच्छेत्तस्यागमनं न वक्तव्यम्

saurāṃgirasoḥ paśyedeko'pi vā sthiraṃ samudyantam | praṣṭā''gamanaṃ pṛcchettasyāgamanaṃ na vaktavyam

If even one of Saturn (saura) and Jupiter (āṅgirasa) should aspect a fixed ⟨sign⟩ that is rising, ⟨and⟩ the querent asks about ⟨someone's⟩ arrival, that arrival is not to be declared.

षष्ठत्रिकोणसंस्थैः पापैश्च पापसंदृष्टैः । गमनागमनं न वाच्यं स्थिरलग्ने चेच्चरे तु विपरीतम्

ṣaṣṭhatrikoṇasaṃsthaiḥ pāpaiśca pāpasaṃdṛṣṭaiḥ | gamanāgamanaṃ na vācyaṃ sthiralagne ceccare tu viparītam

By malefics standing in the 6th and in the trikoṇa ⟨houses⟩ and aspected by malefics, going and coming is not to be declared — if the lagna is fixed; but in a movable ⟨lagna⟩, the contrary.

चन्द्रतोऽथ यदि वा विलग्नतो द्वादशद्वितयराशिगामिनः । शुक्रवाक्पतिशशान्कनन्दनाः का गमाऽऽगमकथाऽस्ति पृच्छतः

candrato'tha yadi vā vilagnato dvādaśadvitayarāśigāminaḥ | śukravākpatiśaśānkanandanāḥ kā gamā''gamakathā'sti pṛcchataḥ

If Venus, Jupiter (vākpati) and Mercury (the Moon's son) are travelling in the twelfth and the second signs, ⟨reckoned⟩ from the Moon or else from the lagna — what talk of going and coming is there for the querent?

बलेन सर्वोत्तमतामुपागतो ग्रहो गृहे यावति लग्नतो भवेत् । प्रवासतस्तत्समसंख्यमासतो निवर्तनं गन्तुरसंशयं वदेत्

balena sarvottamatāmupāgato graho gṛhe yāvati lagnato bhavet | pravāsatastatsamasaṃkhyamāsato nivartanaṃ ganturasaṃśayaṃ vadet

In whatever house from the lagna the graha stands that has attained supreme excellence in strength (bala), by that same number of months one should declare, without doubt, the traveller's return from his sojourn abroad.

चरांशकस्थे किल काल एष स्थिरांशके तद्विगुणस्तु वाच्यः । द्विदेहलग्नांशगते ग्रहे तु विचिन्तितस्तत्त्रिगुणो विधेयः

carāṃśakasthe kila kāla eṣa sthirāṃśake tadviguṇastu vācyaḥ | dvidehalagnāṃśagate grahe tu vicintitastattriguṇo vidheyaḥ

When ⟨that graha⟩ stands in a movable aṃśaka (navāṃśa), this indeed is the time; in a fixed aṃśaka twice that is to be declared; but when the graha has gone into the aṃśa of a two-bodied (dvideha) lagna, the ⟨time⟩ reckoned should be made three times that.

यातुः पृच्छालग्नतः सप्तमस्य स्वामी यायाद्यावता वक्रभावम् । कालेनैति प्रस्थितस्तावतेति प्राहुस्त्वेते प्रश्नतत्त्वप्रवीणाः

yātuḥ pṛcchālagnataḥ saptamasya svāmī yāyādyāvatā vakrabhāvam | kālenaiti prasthitastāvateti prāhustvete praśnatattvapravīṇāḥ

In whatever time the lord of the 7th from the query's lagna — ⟨the house⟩ of the one who has gone — would come to retrogression (vakra-bhāva), in just that much time the one who has set out returns: so say these ⟨masters⟩ skilled in the essence of praśna.

पापै रिपुस्थैर्यदि वा सुतस्थैर्निवर्तते वर्त्मत एव शत्रुः । चतुर्थगैरन्तिकसंगतोऽपि पराङ्मुखो गच्छति भग्नसैन्यः

pāpai ripusthairyadi vā sutasthairnivartate vartmata eva śatruḥ | caturthagairantikasaṃgato'pi parāṅmukho gacchati bhagnasainyaḥ

If malefics stand in the sixth, or else in the fifth, the enemy turns back from the very road. With ⟨malefics⟩ gone to the fourth, even though he has come near, he goes away with his face turned back and his army broken.

चतुर्थगैरलिघटमीनकर्कटैः पराजयो भवति शुभैर्विलोकनात् । चतुष्पदैः पुनरिह तुर्यवर्तिभिः पलायते नियतमरातिरागतः

caturthagairalighaṭamīnakarkaṭaiḥ parājayo bhavati śubhairvilokanāt | catuṣpadaiḥ punariha turyavartibhiḥ palāyate niyatamarātirāgataḥ

When Scorpio, Aquarius (ghaṭa), Pisces or Cancer occupy the fourth, and by their being aspected by benefics, defeat comes about. But when quadruped ⟨signs⟩ stand in the fourth here, the enemy who has come assuredly flees.

चरोदये भवति यदा शुभग्रहस्तदा भृशं जनयति यायिनां शुभम् । चरोदये त्वशुभसमन्वितेऽशुभं स्थिरोदये भवति शुभं व्यवस्थया

carodaye bhavati yadā śubhagrahastadā bhṛśaṃ janayati yāyināṃ śubham | carodaye tvaśubhasamanvite'śubhaṃ sthirodaye bhavati śubhaṃ vyavasthayā

When there is a benefic graha in a movable ascendant, it produces abundant good for those who march. But in a movable ascendant joined with a malefic ⟨the result is⟩ inauspicious; in a fixed ascendant it is auspicious — by ⟨this⟩ settled rule.

स्थिरे शशांके चरराशिलग्ने नवांशके वाऽस्यरिपुस्तदैति । चरे शशांके स्थिरराशिलग्ने नवांशके तस्य तु वा गमः स्यात्

sthire śaśāṃke cararāśilagne navāṃśake vā'syaripustadaiti | care śaśāṃke sthirarāśilagne navāṃśake tasya tu vā gamaḥ syāt

When the Moon is in a fixed ⟨sign⟩ and the ascendant is a movable rāśi — or the navāṃśa ⟨is movable⟩ — then his enemy comes. When the Moon is in a movable ⟨sign⟩ and the ascendant is a fixed rāśi — or the navāṃśa ⟨is fixed⟩ — then his going away takes place.

शीतगौ द्वितनुराशिसंस्थिते लग्नतामुपगतो यदि स्थिरः । शत्रुरेत्य विनिवर्ततेऽरिभे ज्ञेज्यशुक्रसहिते विनश्यति

śītagau dvitanurāśisaṃsthite lagnatāmupagato yadi sthiraḥ | śatruretya vinivartate'ribhe jñejyaśukrasahite vinaśyati

When the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩ is placed in a two-bodied rāśi and a fixed ⟨sign⟩ has come to be the ascendant, the enemy, having come, turns back. When the sixth sign holds Mercury, Jupiter and Venus together, he perishes.

लग्ने स्थिरे गुरुशनैश्चरदृष्टिदृष्टे शत्रोर्नवा गमनमागमनं न वा स्यात् । पापास्त्रिपंचरिपुगा रिपुसंगमाय तुर्ये स्थिताः पुनररातिनिवर्तनाय

lagne sthire guruśanaiścaradṛṣṭidṛṣṭe śatrornavā gamanamāgamanaṃ na vā syāt | pāpāstripaṃcaripugā ripusaṃgamāya turye sthitāḥ punararātinivartanāya

When the ascendant is fixed and aspected by the aspect of Jupiter and Saturn, there is neither a going nor a coming of the enemy. Malefics gone to the third, the fifth and the sixth make for the enemy's arrival; but standing in the fourth they make, again, for the enemy's turning back.

चन्द्रश्चरे द्वितनुलग्नमथो पथोऽर्धमागत्यगच्छति रिपुर्द्वितनौ च चन्द्रे । लग्ने चरे रिपुरुपैति बलद्वयेन पापेक्षणाद्भवति तस्य पराजयोऽपि

candraścare dvitanulagnamatho patho'rdhamāgatyagacchati ripurdvitanau ca candre | lagne care ripurupaiti baladvayena pāpekṣaṇādbhavati tasya parājayo'pi

The Moon in a movable ⟨sign⟩ and a two-bodied ascendant — and likewise when the Moon is in a two-bodied ⟨sign⟩ ⟨and the ascendant movable⟩ — the enemy, having come half the road, goes ⟨back⟩. When the ascendant is movable the enemy approaches with a doubled force; yet from a malefic's aspect his defeat too comes about.

चन्द्रार्कौ यदि हिबुके स्थितौ भवेतामत्युग्रं न हि परचक्रमभ्युपैति । आक्रान्तं गुरुबुधभार्गवैश्चतुर्थं स्थानं चेत्त्वरितमुपैत्यरिस्तदानीम्

candrārkau yadi hibuke sthitau bhavetāmatyugraṃ na hi paracakramabhyupaiti | ākrāntaṃ gurubudhabhārgavaiścaturthaṃ sthānaṃ cettvaritamupaityaristadānīm

If the Moon and the Sun stand in the fourth house (hibuka), the exceedingly fierce hostile host does not come on. But if the fourth place is overrun by Jupiter, Mercury and Venus, then the enemy comes swiftly.

सिंहाजकोदंडवृषा भवन्ति विलग्नगा वापि चतुर्थगा वा । ग्रहेण युक्ता यदि वा वियुक्ता ध्रुवं तदा तिष्ठति नैव शत्रुः

siṃhājakodaṃḍavṛṣā bhavanti vilagnagā vāpi caturthagā vā | graheṇa yuktā yadi vā viyuktā dhruvaṃ tadā tiṣṭhati naiva śatruḥ

When Leo, Aries, Sagittarius and Taurus fall in the ascendant or else in the fourth, whether joined with a graha or unjoined, then assuredly the enemy does not stay put.

रवौ गुरौ वा स्थिरलग्नगामिनि स्थितो रिपुः स्वाश्रम एव निश्चलः । रवौ गुरौ वाथ चरोदयस्थिते वदेदरातेरचिरात्समागमम्

ravau gurau vā sthiralagnagāmini sthito ripuḥ svāśrama eva niścalaḥ | ravau gurau vātha carodayasthite vadedarāteracirātsamāgamam

When the Sun or Jupiter goes to a fixed ascendant, the enemy stays in his own camp, unmoving. When the Sun or Jupiter is set in a movable ascendant, one should declare the enemy's arrival before long.

सुराचार्यदेवद्विषन्मन्त्रिणौ द्वौ द्वितीये तृतीये यथा वा तथा वा । तदा क्षिप्रमायात्यरातिः स्थिरस्थैर्न लग्नेशधर्मेशकर्मेशभेशैः

surācāryadevadviṣanmantriṇau dvau dvitīye tṛtīye yathā vā tathā vā | tadā kṣipramāyātyarātiḥ sthirasthairna lagneśadharmeśakarmeśabheśaiḥ

When the two — the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ and the minister of the gods' foes ⟨Venus⟩ — are in the second and the third, in whichever order, then the enemy comes swiftly; not so when the lord of the ascendant, the lord of the ninth, the lord of the tenth and the lord of the sign (bheśa) stand in fixed ⟨signs⟩.

यावत्संख्यं भवति रजनीनाथगेहं विलग्नान्नैकोऽपिस्यान्नियतमनयोर्मध्यवर्ती ग्रहश्चेत् । तावत्संख्यैरपि गतदिनैः शत्रुरागच्छतीति ज्योतिर्विद्याविपुलगणकग्रामणीरुद्गृणाति

yāvatsaṃkhyaṃ bhavati rajanīnāthagehaṃ vilagnānnaiko'pisyānniyatamanayormadhyavartī grahaścet | tāvatsaṃkhyairapi gatadinaiḥ śatrurāgacchatīti jyotirvidyāvipulagaṇakagrāmaṇīrudgṛṇāti

By whatever number the house of the lord of night ⟨the Moon⟩ stands from the ascendant — if not so much as one graha lies between these two — in that same number of days elapsed the enemy comes: so proclaims the foremost among the great reckoners of the science of the lights.

लग्नतः सहजपुत्रवित्तगा दूरगागमनशंसिनो ग्रहाः । नष्टलम्भनकराः शुभग्रहाः शीघ्रमागमकरौ तु मन्त्रिणौ

lagnataḥ sahajaputravittagā dūragāgamanaśaṃsino grahāḥ | naṣṭalambhanakarāḥ śubhagrahāḥ śīghramāgamakarau tu mantriṇau

From the lagna, grahas placed in the 3rd (sahaja), the 5th (putra) and the 2nd (vitta) declare the return of one who has gone far away. Benefic grahas bring about the recovery of what is lost; but the two counsellors ⟨Jupiter and Venus⟩ make the return swift.

बृहस्पतौ केंद्रगते तु कश्चन ग्रहो भवेत् षष्ठगतोऽथ सप्तमः । भवेत्तदा प्रोषित पूरुषागमस्त्रिकोणगे चन्द्रसुते सितेऽपि वा

bṛhaspatau keṃdragate tu kaścana graho bhavet ṣaṣṭhagato'tha saptamaḥ | bhavettadā proṣita pūruṣāgamastrikoṇage candrasute site'pi vā

When Jupiter stands in a kendra and some graha is placed in the 6th, or ⟨else⟩ in the 7th, then the return of the man who is away comes about — and so too when Mercury (the Moon's son) or Venus is in a trikoṇa.

अष्टमे शशिनि पापवर्जिते कंटके सुखमुपैति चाध्वगः । कण्टकस्थितशुभग्रहैः शुभं स्वं निवासमयमेति लाभवान्

aṣṭame śaśini pāpavarjite kaṃṭake sukhamupaiti cādhvagaḥ | kaṇṭakasthitaśubhagrahaiḥ śubhaṃ svaṃ nivāsamayameti lābhavān

With the Moon in the 8th and the kendras (kaṇṭaka) free of malefics, the traveller comes to ease. By benefic grahas placed in the kendras ⟨the result is⟩ auspicious: he reaches his own dwelling, and with gain.

पृष्ठे लग्ने पापदृष्टे वधो वा बन्धो वा स्यात्सौम्यदृष्टे तु न स्यात् । पापे षष्ठे केन्द्रगे वा तृतीये नष्टो भ्रष्टः स्थानतः प्रच्युतो वा

pṛṣṭhe lagne pāpadṛṣṭe vadho vā bandho vā syātsaumyadṛṣṭe tu na syāt | pāpe ṣaṣṭhe kendrage vā tṛtīye naṣṭo bhraṣṭaḥ sthānataḥ pracyuto vā

If the lagna is a back-rising (pṛṣṭhodaya) sign and aspected by malefics, there will be slaying or bondage; but if it is aspected by benefics, there will not be. With a malefic in the 6th, or in a kendra, or in the 3rd, ⟨the traveller is⟩ destroyed, ruined, or thrown down from his place.

यथा तथा यदि भवतः कथंचन द्वये त्रये सुरगुरुदैत्यमंत्रिणौ । प्रवासिनां भवति तदाऽऽगमो नृणां तुरीयगौ नियतगृहप्रवेशदौ

yathā tathā yadi bhavataḥ kathaṃcana dvaye traye suragurudaityamaṃtriṇau | pravāsināṃ bhavati tadā''gamo nṛṇāṃ turīyagau niyatagṛhapraveśadau

If in any manner whatsoever the guru of the gods and the counsellor of the daityas ⟨Jupiter and Venus⟩ come to stand in the 2nd or the 3rd, then the return of men who are abroad takes place; and placed in the fourth, the two grant an assured entry into the house.

पापकैः षष्ठलाभत्रिकस्थायिभिः सौम्यकैः किंच केंद्रत्रिकोणस्थितैः । दूरगस्यागमो निर्विशंकं स्फुटं जल्पनीयो ग्रहग्रंथविद्भिः सदा

pāpakaiḥ ṣaṣṭhalābhatrikasthāyibhiḥ saumyakaiḥ kiṃca keṃdratrikoṇasthitaiḥ | dūragasyāgamo nirviśaṃkaṃ sphuṭaṃ jalpanīyo grahagraṃthavidbhiḥ sadā

By malefics stationed in the 6th, the 11th (lābha) and the 3rd, and moreover by benefics placed in kendras and trikoṇas, the return of the one gone far away is always to be declared, without hesitation and plainly, by those who know the treatises on the grahas.

अशुभर्क्षगतोऽशुभैश्चदृष्टश्चतुरस्रगृहेऽथवा त्रिकोणके । दिवसेश्वरनंदनोऽध्वगानां नियतं शंसति बन्धनं तदानीम्

aśubharkṣagato'śubhaiścadṛṣṭaścaturasragṛhe'thavā trikoṇake | divaseśvaranaṃdano'dhvagānāṃ niyataṃ śaṃsati bandhanaṃ tadānīm

Gone to an inauspicious sign, aspected by malefics, and placed in a caturasra house ⟨the 4th or the 8th⟩ or else in a trikoṇa, the son of the lord of the day ⟨Saturn⟩ certainly foretells bondage for travellers at that time.

शुभयुक्ते स्थिरलग्ने सुस्थिरबन्धश्चरे त्वशुभयुक्ते । क्षिप्रं भवति विमोक्षो द्वितनौ कालक्रमान्मोक्षः

śubhayukte sthiralagne susthirabandhaścare tvaśubhayukte | kṣipraṃ bhavati vimokṣo dvitanau kālakramānmokṣaḥ

When the lagna is a fixed sign joined with benefics, the confinement is very firm; but in a movable ⟨sign⟩, ⟨even⟩ joined with malefics, release comes quickly; in a two-bodied ⟨sign⟩ release comes with the course of time.

अरिभिरवलोक्यमानास्त्रिकोणयामित्रगाः पापाः । पृष्ठोदयं विलग्नं सौम्यादृष्टं च पान्थमरणाय

aribhiravalokyamānāstrikoṇayāmitragāḥ pāpāḥ | pṛṣṭhodayaṃ vilagnaṃ saumyādṛṣṭaṃ ca pānthamaraṇāya

Malefics aspected by ⟨their⟩ enemies and placed in a trikoṇa and in the jāmitra (the 7th), and a back-rising (pṛṣṭhodaya) lagna unaspected by benefics — ⟨these are⟩ for the death of the wayfarer.

अध्वस्थाने सौम्यैरध्वा निरुपद्रवोऽध्वनीनस्य । भयरोगपरिक्लेशाः पापैर्लग्नस्थितैस्तस्य

adhvasthāne saumyairadhvā nirupadravo'dhvanīnasya | bhayarogaparikleśāḥ pāpairlagnasthitaistasya

With benefics in the house of the road (adhvasthāna), the traveller's road is free of calamity; with malefics placed in the lagna, there are fear, disease and grinding distress for him.

गृहे ग्रहो यावति लग्नतो भवेत्तदा हता द्वादश राशयः स्फुटम् । अवेहि तावद्दिवसैर्गतागमं निवर्तनं वक्रगतग्रहेण च

gṛhe graho yāvati lagnato bhavettadā hatā dvādaśa rāśayaḥ sphuṭam | avehi tāvaddivasairgatāgamaṃ nivartanaṃ vakragatagraheṇa ca

In whichever house from the lagna the graha stands, then the twelve rāśis are multiplied ⟨by that number⟩: know plainly, in that many days, the return of the one who has gone; and by a graha in retrograde motion, ⟨know his⟩ turning back.

दशमसप्तमलग्नगताः शुभा नगरवासिनृपस्य जयप्रदाः । शनिकुजौ नवमे भयभंगदौ विजयदा गुरुभार्गवचन्द्रजाः

daśamasaptamalagnagatāḥ śubhā nagaravāsinṛpasya jayapradāḥ | śanikujau navame bhayabhaṃgadau vijayadā gurubhārgavacandrajāḥ

Benefics placed in the tenth, the seventh and the lagna give victory to the king who dwells in the city. Saturn and Mars in the ninth give fear and rout; ⟨but there⟩ Jupiter, Venus and Mercury give victory.

नागराश्चक्रभागैस्तृतीयादितः प्रश्नलग्नाच्च धर्मादितो यायिनः । तत्र सौम्येन जुष्टो जयप्राप्तिदः पापजुष्टस्तु भागो भवेद् भंगभाक्

nāgarāścakrabhāgaistṛtīyāditaḥ praśnalagnācca dharmādito yāyinaḥ | tatra saumyena juṣṭo jayaprāptidaḥ pāpajuṣṭastu bhāgo bhaved bhaṃgabhāk

The city-dwellers ⟨are read⟩ by the divisions of the circle counted from the third; and the invaders, from the praśna-lagna, counted from the ninth. There, the ⟨division⟩ joined by a benefic gives the attainment of victory; but a division joined by a malefic becomes subject to defeat.

मिश्रयुक्ते विमिश्रं फलं निर्दिशेत्तद्विरूपं फलं केचिदाचक्षते । पंक्तिलाभव्ययस्थास्तु पापग्रहा यातुरिष्टाः परं तत्पुरस्याशुभाः

miśrayukte vimiśraṃ phalaṃ nirdiśettadvirūpaṃ phalaṃ kecidācakṣate | paṃktilābhavyayasthāstu pāpagrahā yāturiṣṭāḥ paraṃ tatpurasyāśubhāḥ

When ⟨a division⟩ is joined by mixed ⟨grahas⟩, one should declare a mixed result; some declare a result contrary to that. But malefic grahas standing in the tenth (paṅkti), the eleventh (lābha) and the twelfth (vyaya) are desired by the one who marches, yet inauspicious for that city.

मिथुनतुलाघटकन्यामेषाणामेककोऽपि पापयुतः । यदि भवति तदा विजयो गन्तुः स्थास्नोर्भवेद्भंगः

mithunatulāghaṭakanyāmeṣāṇāmekako'pi pāpayutaḥ | yadi bhavati tadā vijayo gantuḥ sthāsnorbhavedbhaṃgaḥ

If even one of Mithuna, Tulā, Ghaṭa (Kumbha), Kanyā and Meṣa is joined by a malefic, then there is victory for the one who marches out and defeat for the one who stays.

लग्ने नृराशिभवने यदि सन्ति सौम्याः केन्द्रव्ययायभवनेष्वशुभा भवन्ति । सन्धिस्तदा द्रुततरं प्रवदेन्नराणां पापैर्द्विदेहगृहगैस्तु विरोधमाहुः

lagne nṛrāśibhavane yadi santi saumyāḥ kendravyayāyabhavaneṣvaśubhā bhavanti | sandhistadā drutataraṃ pravadennarāṇāṃ pāpairdvidehagṛhagaistu virodhamāhuḥ

If benefics are in the lagna when it is a human (nṛ) rāśi, and malefics stand in the kendras, the twelfth and the eleventh houses, then one should declare a very swift peace between the men; but with malefics in two-bodied (dvideha, dual) signs they declare conflict.

केन्द्रस्थिता यदि शुभा यदि वा भवन्ति लग्ने नृराशिभवने शुभदृष्टि पुष्टः । प्रीतिस्तदा भवति पापविलोकितैस्तु पापैरमीषु भवनेषु भवेद्विरोधः

kendrasthitā yadi śubhā yadi vā bhavanti lagne nṛrāśibhavane śubhadṛṣṭi puṣṭaḥ | prītistadā bhavati pāpavilokitaistu pāpairamīṣu bhavaneṣu bhavedvirodhaḥ

If benefics stand in the kendras, or if the lagna is a human rāśi strengthened by benefic aspect, then there is friendship; but when ⟨these places are⟩ aspected by malefics, and with malefics in these same houses, there will be enmity.

अशुभग्रहस्थलग्ने बलिभिस्त्वशुभैश्च वीक्षिते युक्ते । युद्धं महदादेश्यं क्षुद्रं सौम्यग्रहैर्दृष्टे

aśubhagrahasthalagne balibhistvaśubhaiśca vīkṣite yukte | yuddhaṃ mahadādeśyaṃ kṣudraṃ saumyagrahairdṛṣṭe

When the lagna is occupied by malefic grahas and is aspected and joined by strong malefics, a great war is to be declared; a small one when it is aspected by benefic grahas.

सूर्यसमीरणसुरगुरुशुक्रान् समरे पृष्ठतः कृत्वा । जयति परान्केवलमपि परमफलं प्राह यवनेन्द्रः

sūryasamīraṇasuraguruśukrān samare pṛṣṭhataḥ kṛtvā | jayati parānkevalamapi paramaphalaṃ prāha yavanendraḥ

Having put the Sun, the wind, Jupiter and Venus at his back in battle, he conquers his foes; this alone is the supreme yield, said the lord of the Yavanas.

केन्द्रगमर्कं केन्द्री यदि शनिरुद्वीक्षते तदा भंगः । एवंविधशनिदृष्टे मृत्युगतेऽर्के भवेन्मृत्युः

kendragamarkaṃ kendrī yadi śanirudvīkṣate tadā bhaṃgaḥ | evaṃvidhaśanidṛṣṭe mṛtyugate'rke bhavenmṛtyuḥ

If Saturn, himself in a kendra, aspects the Sun placed in a kendra, then there is defeat. When the Sun so aspected by Saturn is in the eighth (mṛtyu), there will be death.

लग्ने रवावष्टमगे शशांके कुजार्कजाभ्यामवलोक्यमाने । अर्केऽष्टमे लग्नगते च चन्द्रे भङ्गो भवेत् प्रष्टुरसंशयेन

lagne ravāvaṣṭamage śaśāṃke kujārkajābhyāmavalokyamāne | arke'ṣṭame lagnagate ca candre bhaṅgo bhavet praṣṭurasaṃśayena

When the Sun is in the lagna and the Moon in the eighth, the two being aspected by Mars and Saturn; or when the Sun is in the eighth and the Moon in the lagna — there will be defeat for the querent, beyond doubt.

जीवज्ञसूर्यभृगुजास्तनये हि लोकदुश्चिक्यलग्नभवने परिपृच्छतः स्युः । लाभस्थिताश्च शशिभास्करिभूमिपुत्रा यायी विजित्य रिपुमेति गृहं कृतार्थः

jīvajñasūryabhṛgujāstanaye hi lokaduścikyalagnabhavane paripṛcchataḥ syuḥ | lābhasthitāśca śaśibhāskaribhūmiputrā yāyī vijitya ripumeti gṛhaṃ kṛtārthaḥ

If Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun and Venus stand in the querent's fifth (tanaya), tenth (loka), third (duścikya) and lagna, and the Moon, Saturn and Mars stand in the eleventh (lābha), the invader conquers his enemy and comes home with his object accomplished.

लग्ने वा क्षितिसुतमन्दयोः सुतस्थे जीवेऽर्के दशमगृहाश्रिते विलग्नात् । लाभे वा नभसि सितेन्दुपुत्रयोर्वा प्रश्नैवं समिति रिपूञ्जयत्यवश्यम्

lagne vā kṣitisutamandayoḥ sutasthe jīve'rke daśamagṛhāśrite vilagnāt | lābhe vā nabhasi sitenduputrayorvā praśnaivaṃ samiti ripūñjayatyavaśyam

Or with Mars and Saturn in the lagna, Jupiter in the fifth, the Sun occupying the tenth house from the lagna; or with Venus and Mercury in the eleventh (lābha) or in the sky (nabhas, the tenth) — with a praśna such as this he certainly conquers his enemies in the fray.

जीवतीव्रकरशीतमयूखैर्लग्नशत्रुदशगैर्जयसिद्धिः । तद्वदेव गुरुभार्गवसूर्यैर्लग्नशत्रुदशगैरवधार्यम्

jīvatīvrakaraśītamayūkhairlagnaśatrudaśagairjayasiddhiḥ | tadvadeva gurubhārgavasūryairlagnaśatrudaśagairavadhāryam

By Jupiter, the Sun (tīvrakara, sharp-rayed) and the Moon (śītamayūkha, cool-rayed) standing in the lagna, the sixth (śatru) and the tenth, victory is accomplished. Just so it is to be determined with Jupiter, Venus and the Sun standing in the lagna, the sixth and the tenth.

आये गुरौ स्यात्सचिवस्य लाभः कर्मस्थयोः सूर्यजभौमयोश्च । चतुर्थगे ज्ञेऽष्टमगे शशांके जायास्थिते चापि भृगौ जयः स्यात्

āye gurau syātsacivasya lābhaḥ karmasthayoḥ sūryajabhaumayośca | caturthage jñe'ṣṭamage śaśāṃke jāyāsthite cāpi bhṛgau jayaḥ syāt

With Jupiter in the eleventh (āya) there is gain for the minister, and so too with Saturn and Mars standing in the tenth (karma). With Mercury in the fourth, the Moon in the eighth, and Venus placed in the seventh (jāyā), there will be victory.

दशमगेहगते क्षितिनन्दने किरणमालिनि लाभगृहं गते । सहजगेऽर्कसुते रिपुगे विधौ तदितरैरुदयालयगैर्जयः

daśamagehagate kṣitinandane kiraṇamālini lābhagṛhaṃ gate | sahajage'rkasute ripuge vidhau taditarairudayālayagairjayaḥ

When Mars has gone to the tenth house, the Sun (kiraṇamālin, garlanded with rays) to the eleventh (lābha), Saturn to the third (sahaja) and the Moon to the sixth (ripu), and the remaining ⟨grahas⟩ stand in the lagna (udayālaya), there is victory.

भूमिनन्दनतीव्रभानुशनैश्चरैः सहजस्थितैर्लग्नगैश्च शुभग्रहैरिह पृच्छतां विजयः स्फुटः । लग्नशालिनि वा गुरौ विशुभैस्तु लाभगृहगतैः कर्मगैरथवा जयो भवतीति चाह पराशरः

bhūminandanatīvrabhānuśanaiścaraiḥ sahajasthitairlagnagaiśca śubhagrahairiha pṛcchatāṃ vijayaḥ sphuṭaḥ | lagnaśālini vā gurau viśubhaistu lābhagṛhagataiḥ karmagairathavā jayo bhavatīti cāha parāśaraḥ

With Mars, the Sun and Saturn standing in the third (sahaja) and with benefic grahas in the lagna, victory is plain for those who ask here. Or when Jupiter graces the lagna and the malefics stand in the eleventh house or in the tenth, victory comes about — so said Parāśara.

क्षितिसुतसूर्यसुतौ यदि षष्ठे सुरगुरुचन्द्रमसौ यदि विलग्ने । शशिसुतदैत्यगुरू यदि चाये दिवसकरो दशमे जयाय

kṣitisutasūryasutau yadi ṣaṣṭhe suragurucandramasau yadi vilagne | śaśisutadaityagurū yadi cāye divasakaro daśame jayāya

If Mars and Saturn are in the sixth, if Jupiter and the Moon are in the lagna, if Mercury and Venus (daityaguru, preceptor of the demons) are in the eleventh (āya), and the Sun is in the tenth — ⟨all this is⟩ for victory.

नवमात्मजलग्नगैरिह स्याच्छनिशीतांशुकुजैर्नृपस्य भंगः । वसुधासुतदृष्टयोर्विलग्ने शशभृन्मन्दगयोर्भवेच्च मृत्युः

navamātmajalagnagairiha syācchaniśītāṃśukujairnṛpasya bhaṃgaḥ | vasudhāsutadṛṣṭayorvilagne śaśabhṛnmandagayorbhavecca mṛtyuḥ

With Saturn, the Moon (śītāṃśu) and Mars standing in the ninth, the fifth (ātmaja) and the lagna, there will be defeat for the king. And when the Moon and Saturn are in the lagna, the two aspected by Mars, there will also be death.

अष्टमे कुजयुते शनैश्चरे लग्नगे च मरणं दिवाकरे । त्र्यायमृत्युषु च रोहिणीपतौ स्याद्वधः समिति भास्करानुगे

aṣṭame kujayute śanaiścare lagnage ca maraṇaṃ divākare | tryāyamṛtyuṣu ca rohiṇīpatau syādvadhaḥ samiti bhāskarānuge

When Saturn joined by Mars is in the eighth and the Sun is in the lagna, there is death. And when the Moon (rohiṇīpati) is in the third, the eleventh (āya) or the eighth (mṛtyu) and followed by the Sun, there will be slaughter in the battle.

कुजबुधशनिभिः स्मरस्थितैर्भवति रिपूनथ गच्छतो वधः । उदयगृहगयोः सितारयोरपि च रिपूपचयः क्षुधामृति

kujabudhaśanibhiḥ smarasthitairbhavati ripūnatha gacchato vadhaḥ | udayagṛhagayoḥ sitārayorapi ca ripūpacayaḥ kṣudhāmṛti

With Mars, Mercury and Saturn placed in the seventh (smara), there is slaughter of the one who marches against his enemies. And with Venus and Mars in the rising house ⟨the lagna⟩, there is increase of the enemy, and hunger and death.

विज्ञेयाः क्षितिसुतमन्दयोर्विलग्ने षष्ठर्क्षे बुधसितयोरिहाष्टमर्क्षे । तीक्ष्णांशोर्ध्रुवमिति पापिनो रिपूणां संग्रामे पटुतरमन्त्रिणो वधाय

vijñeyāḥ kṣitisutamandayorvilagne ṣaṣṭharkṣe budhasitayorihāṣṭamarkṣe | tīkṣṇāṃśordhruvamiti pāpino ripūṇāṃ saṃgrāme paṭutaramantriṇo vadhāya

The malefic ⟨configurations⟩ are to be known ⟨thus⟩: Mars and Saturn in the lagna, Mercury and Venus in the sixth sign, and the Sun (tīkṣṇāṃśu) here in the eighth sign — these certainly make for the killing, in battle, of the enemies' most able minister.

विलग्नात्मजस्थानसंस्थैरवश्यं वधं प्रष्टृपुत्रस्य जानीहि पापैः । सचन्द्रे कुजे लग्नगे सौरिदृष्टे पुनः संगरे भंग एवं प्रदिष्टः

vilagnātmajasthānasaṃsthairavaśyaṃ vadhaṃ praṣṭṛputrasya jānīhi pāpaiḥ | sacandre kuje lagnage sauridṛṣṭe punaḥ saṃgare bhaṃga evaṃ pradiṣṭaḥ

Know that by malefics stationed in the lagna and in the fifth (ātmaja) place, the killing of the querent's son is certain. Again, when Mars together with the Moon is in the lagna and aspected by Saturn, defeat in the encounter is declared in the same way.

द्यूननैधनगते सितद्युतौ लग्नगामिनि च तीक्ष्णदीधितौ । गच्छतः समिति वा विपर्यये त्रासभंगमरणागमा ध्रुवम्

dyūnanaidhanagate sitadyutau lagnagāmini ca tīkṣṇadīdhitau | gacchataḥ samiti vā viparyaye trāsabhaṃgamaraṇāgamā dhruvam

When Venus (sitadyuti) is in the seventh (dyūna) or the eighth (naidhana) and the Sun (tīkṣṇadīdhiti) is going to the lagna — or in the reverse arrangement — then for the one marching to battle the coming of terror, rout and death is certain.

द्वित्रिकेन्द्रस्थितैः पापरूपैर्ग्रहैः शक्तिहानिं वहद्भिः स्वकीयांशुभिः । अष्टमस्थे निशानायके भूभुजां बन्धनाशात्ययाः स्युः रणे पृच्छताम्

dvitrikendrasthitaiḥ pāparūpairgrahaiḥ śaktihāniṃ vahadbhiḥ svakīyāṃśubhiḥ | aṣṭamasthe niśānāyake bhūbhujāṃ bandhanāśātyayāḥ syuḥ raṇe pṛcchatām

With malefic-natured grahas standing in the second, the third and the kendras, carrying loss of power in their own rays, and with the Moon (niśānāyaka) in the eighth, there will be bondage, destruction and death for the kings who ask about the battle.

द्यूने महीनन्दनचन्द्रयोः स्याद् बुधोऽर्कलग्ने स्वबलस्य भेदः । यमारयोस्तद्वदवेहि भङ्गं युद्धे बुधाहस्करयोस्तथैव

dyūne mahīnandanacandrayoḥ syād budho'rkalagne svabalasya bhedaḥ | yamārayostadvadavehi bhaṅgaṃ yuddhe budhāhaskarayostathaiva

With Mars and the Moon in the seventh (dyūna), ⟨or⟩ Mercury ⟨and⟩ the Sun in the lagna, there is a splitting of one's own force. Know defeat likewise from Saturn (yama) and Mars (āra), and in the same way in war from Mercury and the Sun.

सर्वैरमीभिर्नवमस्थितैस्तु हन्यान्नृपो मंत्रिपुरोहितादीन् । अत्रैव योगे च शशी विलग्ने स देशिकाश्वस्थपतिस्वपुत्रान्

sarvairamībhirnavamasthitaistu hanyānnṛpo maṃtripurohitādīn | atraiva yoge ca śaśī vilagne sa deśikāśvasthapatisvaputrān

But with all these ⟨grahas⟩ standing in the ninth, the king will kill his ministers, his purohitas and the rest. And in this very yoga, if the Moon is in the lagna, he ⟨kills⟩ his guide (deśika), his horses, his chief craftsman (sthapati) and his own sons.

अर्कसूर्यसुतयोश्च विलग्ने दृष्टयोश्चधरणीतनयेन । अस्तगे शशधरे बलहीनैर्वाहिनीपतिवधः किल सौम्यै

arkasūryasutayośca vilagne dṛṣṭayoścadharaṇītanayena | astage śaśadhare balahīnairvāhinīpativadhaḥ kila saumyai

And when the Sun and Saturn are in the lagna, the two aspected by Mars, and the Moon is in the setting place (asta, the seventh), the benefics being devoid of strength — then indeed there is the killing of the commander of the army (vāhinīpati).

अस्तगे शशिनि लग्नगे रवावष्टमे कुजशनैश्चरौ यदा । ज्ञस्तृतीयगृहगस्तदा रणे मंत्रिणा सह विहन्यते नृपः

astage śaśini lagnage ravāvaṣṭame kujaśanaiścarau yadā | jñastṛtīyagṛhagastadā raṇe maṃtriṇā saha vihanyate nṛpaḥ

When the Moon is in the setting place (asta, the seventh), the Sun in the lagna, Mars and Saturn in the eighth, and Mercury stands in the third house — then in battle the king is struck down together with his minister.

शीर्षोदयं शुभसुहृद्ग्रहयुक्तदृष्टं लग्नं शुभा बलयुताः शुभवर्गलग्ने । सर्वार्थसिद्धिदमतोऽन्यदनिष्टमेव प्रस्थानजन्मफलयुक्तिभिरन्यदूह्यम्

śīrṣodayaṃ śubhasuhṛdgrahayuktadṛṣṭaṃ lagnaṃ śubhā balayutāḥ śubhavargalagne | sarvārthasiddhidamato'nyadaniṣṭameva prasthānajanmaphalayuktibhiranyadūhyam

A lagna that is head-rising (śīrṣodaya) and joined and aspected by benefic and friendly grahas; benefics endowed with strength; the lagna in a benefic varga — this grants the accomplishment of every object. Anything other than this is simply undesirable. Whatever remains is to be inferred by combining the results of the setting-out (prasthāna) and of the nativity.

लग्नस्थितो वाऽष्टमसंस्थितो वा पापग्रहो यस्य तु जन्मराशिम् । निरीक्षते तस्य गदार्दितस्य निःसंशयं मृत्युमुदाहरन्ति

lagnasthito vā'ṣṭamasaṃsthito vā pāpagraho yasya tu janmarāśim | nirīkṣate tasya gadārditasya niḥsaṃśayaṃ mṛtyumudāharanti

When a malefic graha, standing in the lagna or standing in the 8th, aspects a man's janma-rāśi ⟨birth sign⟩ — for him, tormented by disease, they declare death beyond doubt.

पृष्ठोदये विलग्ने क्रूराः केन्द्रेऽष्टगः शशी यस्य । रोगार्तस्य विनाशो दृष्टे वा बलयुतैः पापैः

pṛṣṭhodaye vilagne krūrāḥ kendre'ṣṭagaḥ śaśī yasya | rogārtasya vināśo dṛṣṭe vā balayutaiḥ pāpaiḥ

When the lagna is a back-rising ⟨pṛṣṭhodaya⟩ sign, malefics stand in the kendras, and the Moon is in the 8th — destruction of the one afflicted by disease; or ⟨likewise⟩ when the lagna is aspected by malefics endowed with strength.

शशिनं शशिपुत्रं वा पश्यति पापो विलग्नगेहस्थम् । आदेष्टव्यः प्रष्टुः कष्टो व्याधिर्न संदेहः

śaśinaṃ śaśiputraṃ vā paśyati pāpo vilagnagehastham | ādeṣṭavyaḥ praṣṭuḥ kaṣṭo vyādhirna saṃdehaḥ

If a malefic aspects the Moon, or Mercury ⟨śaśiputra, the Moon's son⟩, standing in the house of the lagna, a grievous disease is to be declared for the querent; there is no doubt.

सौम्यग्रहा यदि सुतस्मरमृत्युसंस्थाः पापा भवन्ति च शुभग्रहदृश्यमानाः । आयत्रिषड्दशमगश्च निशाकरः स्यात् तस्माच्छुभाश्च यदि वा शुभमाहुरस्य

saumyagrahā yadi sutasmaramṛtyusaṃsthāḥ pāpā bhavanti ca śubhagrahadṛśyamānāḥ | āyatriṣaḍdaśamagaśca niśākaraḥ syāt tasmācchubhāśca yadi vā śubhamāhurasya

If the benefic grahas stand in the 5th, the 7th and the 8th, and the malefics come to be aspected by benefic grahas, and the Moon is placed in the 11th, the 3rd, the 6th or the 10th, and if, ⟨reckoned⟩ from that ⟨Moon⟩ too, benefics ⟨stand so⟩ — then they declare an auspicious ⟨outcome⟩ for him.

पापेक्षितः पापयुतः शुभानां दृग्योगहीनो नवमः शनिश्चेत् । तदा रुजार्तः परदेशगः स्यात् षष्ठाष्टमे मृत्युकरस्त्ववश्यम्

pāpekṣitaḥ pāpayutaḥ śubhānāṃ dṛgyogahīno navamaḥ śaniścet | tadā rujārtaḥ paradeśagaḥ syāt ṣaṣṭhāṣṭame mṛtyukarastvavaśyam

If Saturn stands ninth, aspected by malefics, joined with malefics, and destitute of the aspect and conjunction of benefics — then the one tormented by illness will go to a foreign land; but in the 6th or the 8th ⟨that Saturn⟩ is without fail a causer of death.

उपचयगृहगे चन्द्रे शुभेषु केन्द्रत्रिकोणनिधनेषु । शुभदृष्टे वा लग्ने रोगी देशान्तरे नीरुक्

upacayagṛhage candre śubheṣu kendratrikoṇanidhaneṣu | śubhadṛṣṭe vā lagne rogī deśāntare nīruk

When the Moon is in an upacaya house ⟨3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th⟩ and benefics are in the kendras, the trikoṇas and the 8th, or when the lagna is aspected by benefics — the sick man becomes free of disease in another country.

लग्नगतः परिपूर्णो रजनीजानिर्विलोकितो गुरुणा । केन्द्रे वा गुरुभृगुजौ रोगार्तस्तत्र नीरोगः

lagnagataḥ paripūrṇo rajanījānirvilokito guruṇā | kendre vā gurubhṛgujau rogārtastatra nīrogaḥ

The full Moon ⟨rajanījāni, husband of the night⟩ gone to the lagna and aspected by Jupiter, or else Jupiter and Venus in a kendra — there the one afflicted by disease becomes free of disease.

प्रश्नश्चेत्स्थिरलग्ने तदा न मरणं न रोगशान्तिर्वा । चरलग्ने विपरीतं द्विदेहलग्ने तु पूर्वमिव

praśnaścetsthiralagne tadā na maraṇaṃ na rogaśāntirvā | caralagne viparītaṃ dvidehalagne tu pūrvamiva

If the praśna ⟨falls⟩ in a fixed lagna, then there is neither death nor the subsiding of the disease. In a movable lagna, the reverse. But in a two-bodied ⟨dual⟩ lagna, as in the former ⟨case⟩.

स्थिरोदये वा यदि वा स्थिरांशे वर्गोत्तमे वा यदि वा विलग्ने । तत्रैव तच्चोरितमस्ति वस्तु स्वकेन केनापि चरे परैस्तु

sthirodaye vā yadi vā sthirāṃśe vargottame vā yadi vā vilagne | tatraiva taccoritamasti vastu svakena kenāpi care paraistu

Whether a fixed sign rises, or ⟨the lagna falls⟩ in a fixed navāṃśa, or the ascendant (lagna) is vargottama — in that very place the stolen article is; and ⟨it was taken⟩ by some person of one's own ⟨household⟩. But in a movable ⟨sign⟩, by outsiders.

द्विशरीरराशिलग्ने प्रतिवेशिजनेन हृतमुदाहार्यम् । तत्रस्थं स्थिरराशौ चरराशौ तच्च सञ्चलितम्

dviśarīrarāśilagne prativeśijanena hṛtamudāhāryam | tatrasthaṃ sthirarāśau cararāśau tacca sañcalitam

When a two-bodied (dual) rāśi is the ascendant (lagna), the theft is to be declared as done by a neighbour. In a fixed rāśi ⟨the goods are still⟩ standing in that place; in a movable rāśi they have been moved away.

लग्ने प्रजाते द्वितनौ हृतं स्वं गृहाद्बहिर्निर्गमितं विचिन्त्यम् । हर्ता सवीर्य्यास्तगखेटतुल्यो नौजे नृदृष्टे दयिताऽन्यथातः

lagne prajāte dvitanau hṛtaṃ svaṃ gṛhādbahirnirgamitaṃ vicintyam | hartā savīryyāstagakheṭatulyo nauje nṛdṛṣṭe dayitā'nyathātaḥ

When the ascendant (lagna) that has arisen is a two-bodied ⟨sign⟩, one should conclude that the stolen property has been carried out of the house. The thief answers to the strong graha standing in the 7th (asta). When ⟨the sign is⟩ not odd and is aspected by a human ⟨sign⟩, ⟨the thief is⟩ a beloved woman; otherwise it is the reverse of this.

लग्नांशकादपहृतद्रविणस्य जातिर्द्रेष्काणतस्तदपहर्तृजनस्वरूपम् । दिग्देशकालकलनं किल राशितः स्याल्लग्नांशकाद्भवति जातिवयोविभागः

lagnāṃśakādapahṛtadraviṇasya jātirdreṣkāṇatastadapahartṛjanasvarūpam | digdeśakālakalanaṃ kila rāśitaḥ syāllagnāṃśakādbhavati jātivayovibhāgaḥ

From the navāṃśa of the ascendant (lagna) ⟨is known⟩ the kind of the stolen wealth; from the drekkāṇa, the appearance of the person who stole it. The reckoning of direction, place and time is indeed from the rāśi; and from the navāṃśa of the ascendant arises the division of caste and of age.

वयांसि तेषां स्तनपानबाल्यव्रतस्थिता यौवनमध्यवृद्धाः । अतीव वृद्धा इति चन्द्रभौमज्ञशुक्रजीवार्कशनैश्चराणाम्

vayāṃsi teṣāṃ stanapānabālyavratasthitā yauvanamadhyavṛddhāḥ | atīva vṛddhā iti candrabhaumajñaśukrajīvārkaśanaiścarāṇām

Their ages are: the suckling ⟨infant⟩, boyhood, one settled in a vow ⟨the student⟩, youth, the middle ⟨years⟩, the aged, and the extremely aged — ⟨these⟩ of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, the Sun and Saturn ⟨respectively⟩.

रवीन्दुयुक्ते शनिभौमदृष्टे सिंहोदयेऽन्धः किल तस्करः स्यात् । वामेन काणः शशिनि व्ययस्थे स चक्षुषाऽन्येन रवौ व्ययस्थे

ravīnduyukte śanibhaumadṛṣṭe siṃhodaye'ndhaḥ kila taskaraḥ syāt | vāmena kāṇaḥ śaśini vyayasthe sa cakṣuṣā'nyena ravau vyayasthe

When Leo rises joined with the Sun and Moon and aspected by Saturn and Mars, the thief is indeed blind. When the Moon stands in the 12th (vyaya) he is one-eyed on the left; and when the Sun stands in the 12th, ⟨he is one-eyed⟩ by the other eye.

क्रूरः षष्ठः क्रूरराशौ विलग्नाद्यस्मिन्राशौ तत्प्रदेशे व्रणोऽस्य । एवं प्रोक्तं यन्मया जन्मकाले चिह्नं रूपं तत्तदस्मिन्विधेयम्

krūraḥ ṣaṣṭhaḥ krūrarāśau vilagnādyasminrāśau tatpradeśe vraṇo'sya | evaṃ proktaṃ yanmayā janmakāle cihnaṃ rūpaṃ tattadasminvidheyam

A malefic ⟨standing⟩ sixth from the ascendant (lagna), in a malefic sign — in whichever rāśi it stands, on that region ⟨of the body⟩ he has a scar. Whatever mark and form I have declared in this manner for the time of birth, that same is to be applied here ⟨in the query⟩.

आद्ये हृतं निपतितं तदनु द्वितीये द्रव्यं च विस्मृतमथो यदि वा तृतीये । द्रेष्काणकेषु परिकल्प्यमिदं क्रमेण वाच्यं हृतं तदपि वेश्ममुखेऽन्तरेऽन्त्ये

ādye hṛtaṃ nipatitaṃ tadanu dvitīye dravyaṃ ca vismṛtamatho yadi vā tṛtīye | dreṣkāṇakeṣu parikalpyamidaṃ krameṇa vācyaṃ hṛtaṃ tadapi veśmamukhe'ntare'ntye

In the first ⟨drekkāṇa⟩ the thing was stolen; in the second next to it, it has fallen; and in the third, the article has been forgotten ⟨and mislaid⟩. This is to be assigned to the drekkāṇas in order. And the theft too is to be declared ⟨as having happened⟩ at the door of the house, within it, and at the innermost part ⟨respectively⟩.

ग्रहैर्दिशः केन्द्रगतैर्विचिन्त्या विलग्नराशेस्तदसम्भवे वा । विलग्नमध्याच्चलितैर्नवांशैर्विचिन्तनीयानि हि योजनानि

grahairdiśaḥ kendragatairvicintyā vilagnarāśestadasambhave vā | vilagnamadhyāccalitairnavāṃśairvicintanīyāni hi yojanāni

The directions are to be considered from the grahas gone to the kendras (the angles); or, that being impossible, from the rāśi of the ascendant (lagna). And the yojanas ⟨of distance⟩ are indeed to be reckoned by the navāṃśas elapsed from the middle of the ascendant.

शुक्रे धने देवगुरौ व्ययस्थे मूर्तौ शुभे वा हृतलब्धिरुक्ता । होरेन्दुयुक्तालयदिङ्मुखेषु सूर्येण लग्नाधिपराशिभूमौ

śukre dhane devagurau vyayasthe mūrtau śubhe vā hṛtalabdhiruktā | horenduyuktālayadiṅmukheṣu sūryeṇa lagnādhiparāśibhūmau

When Venus is in the 2nd (dhana), or the deva-guru ⟨Jupiter⟩ in the 12th (vyaya), or a benefic in the 1st (mūrti), recovery of the stolen ⟨goods⟩ is declared. ⟨The goods are to be sought⟩ in the quarters and frontages of the dwelling ⟨indicated⟩ by the horā and by the Moon's conjunction, ⟨and⟩ by way of the Sun in the ground of the rāśi of the lord of the ascendant.

पूर्णः शशी यदि विलग्नगतः शुभो वा शीर्षोदये यदि पुनः शुभदृष्टिदृष्टः । लाभस्थितो बलयुतो यदि वा शुभः स्यात् नष्टस्य लाभमचिरेण ततः करोति

pūrṇaḥ śaśī yadi vilagnagataḥ śubho vā śīrṣodaye yadi punaḥ śubhadṛṣṭidṛṣṭaḥ | lābhasthito balayuto yadi vā śubhaḥ syāt naṣṭasya lābhamacireṇa tataḥ karoti

If the full Moon, or a benefic, has gone to the ascendant (lagna); or again if a head-rising (śīrṣodaya) ⟨sign⟩ is aspected by a benefic's aspect; or if a benefic possessed of strength stands in the 11th (lābha) — then thereby it brings about the recovery of what is lost, before long.

लग्नाद्वितीये यदि वा तृतीये शुभेन युक्ते हिबुकेऽथवा स्यात् । सौम्यैः सुहृत्सप्तदशस्थितैर्वा निःसंशयं चोरितवस्तुलाभः

lagnādvitīye yadi vā tṛtīye śubhena yukte hibuke'thavā syāt | saumyaiḥ suhṛtsaptadaśasthitairvā niḥsaṃśayaṃ coritavastulābhaḥ

If the 2nd from the ascendant (lagna), or the 3rd, or else the hibuka (the 4th house), be joined with a benefic; or ⟨if⟩ benefics stand in the 4th (suhṛt), the 7th and the 10th — then beyond doubt there is recovery of the stolen article.

लग्ने सम्पूर्णतनुर्जीवेन सितेन वीक्षितश्चन्द्रः । केन्द्रोपचयस्थैर्वा यदि सौम्यैः स्वोपचयगैराप्तिः

lagne sampūrṇatanurjīvena sitena vīkṣitaścandraḥ | kendropacayasthairvā yadi saumyaiḥ svopacayagairāptiḥ

⟨If⟩ the Moon of full body is in the ascendant (lagna), aspected by Jupiter or by Venus; or if benefics stand in the kendras and in the upacayas (the 3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th), ⟨and⟩ go to their own upacayas — ⟨there is⟩ recovery.

लग्ने पूर्णश्चन्द्रो जीवः शुक्रो बुधोऽपि वा भवति । लभतेऽपहृतं द्रव्यं शुभयुक्ते सप्तमे यदि वा

lagne pūrṇaścandro jīvaḥ śukro budho'pi vā bhavati | labhate'pahṛtaṃ dravyaṃ śubhayukte saptame yadi vā

If the full Moon, or Jupiter, or Venus, or Mercury too, is in the ascendant (lagna), ⟨the querent⟩ recovers the stolen article; or ⟨likewise⟩ if the 7th is joined with a benefic.

लग्नात्पातालाद्वा द्वितीयस्थोऽथवा तृतीयस्थः । भवति शुभग्रहश्चेन्नूनं प्रश्ने नष्टं धनं लभते

lagnātpātālādvā dvitīyastho'thavā tṛtīyasthaḥ | bhavati śubhagrahaścennūnaṃ praśne naṣṭaṃ dhanaṃ labhate

If a benefic graha stands in the 2nd, or else in the 3rd, from the ascendant (lagna) or from the pātāla (the 4th house), then assuredly in the query (praśna) the lost wealth is recovered.

पापविलग्नं पापे पश्यति नष्टं विनष्टमेव स्यात् । शुभखगलग्ने तु शुभैर्दृष्टे नष्टाप्तिरेष्टव्या

pāpavilagnaṃ pāpe paśyati naṣṭaṃ vinaṣṭameva syāt | śubhakhagalagne tu śubhairdṛṣṭe naṣṭāptireṣṭavyā

⟨When⟩ a malefic looks upon an ascendant ⟨held⟩ by a malefic, what is lost is simply lost outright. But when a benefic graha is in the ascendant (lagna) and it is aspected by benefics, recovery of the lost ⟨thing⟩ is to be looked for.

सिंहालिकुम्भा यदि पापवीक्षिता युताः स्मरस्थाः स्वनवांशगामिनः । तदा विनष्टं त्वथवा बलान्विते कुजेऽष्टमस्थे यदि तन्नवांशे

siṃhālikumbhā yadi pāpavīkṣitā yutāḥ smarasthāḥ svanavāṃśagāminaḥ | tadā vinaṣṭaṃ tvathavā balānvite kuje'ṣṭamasthe yadi tannavāṃśe

If Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, aspected by or joined with malefics, stand in the 7th (smara) and go to their own navāṃśa, then ⟨the thing is⟩ utterly lost; or else ⟨so also⟩ if Mars possessed of strength stands in the 8th, or in the navāṃśa of that ⟨sign⟩.

लग्नस्थः शशिबुधवीक्षितः सुधांशुश्चान्द्रिर्वा कथयति चिन्तितां कुमारीम् । वृद्धां स्त्रीं शनिरिनगीष्पती प्रसूतां शुक्रारावथ तरुणीं नरेऽपि चैवम्

lagnasthaḥ śaśibudhavīkṣitaḥ sudhāṃśuścāndrirvā kathayati cintitāṃ kumārīm | vṛddhāṃ strīṃ śanirinagīṣpatī prasūtāṃ śukrārāvatha taruṇīṃ nare'pi caivam

The Moon or Mercury standing in the lagna, ⟨or the lagna⟩ aspected by the Moon and Mercury, declares the thing thought of to be a maiden; Saturn ⟨declares⟩ an old woman; the Sun and Jupiter, a woman who has borne a child; Venus and Mars, a young woman. And in the case of a man too it is just so.

अस्ते सितार्करविजैः परकीयजाया स्वीया गुरौ शशिनि तत्तनये च वेश्या । वाच्या वयश्च शशिवत्परिचिन्तनीयं सौरेऽन्त्यजातिरितरैरपि चिन्तिता स्यात्

aste sitārkaravijaiḥ parakīyajāyā svīyā gurau śaśini tattanaye ca veśyā | vācyā vayaśca śaśivatparicintanīyaṃ saure'ntyajātiritarairapi cintitā syāt

With Venus, the Sun and Saturn in the 7th (asta, the setting place), another man's wife ⟨is to be declared⟩; with Jupiter, one's own; and with the Moon or its son ⟨Mercury⟩, a courtesan is to be declared. The age too is to be reckoned in the same manner with reference to the Moon. With Saturn, the woman thought of is of the lowest caste; by the other ⟨grahas⟩ as well ⟨her caste⟩ is to be determined ⟨likewise⟩.

लग्ने ग्रहैरात्मसमो बलस्थैर्भ्राता तृतीयैस्तनयः सुतस्थैः । माता चतुर्थैरथवा स्वसा स्याच्छत्रुस्थितैः शत्रुगतैव चिन्ता

lagne grahairātmasamo balasthairbhrātā tṛtīyaistanayaḥ sutasthaiḥ | mātā caturthairathavā svasā syācchatrusthitaiḥ śatrugataiva cintā

With grahas strong in the lagna, ⟨the one thought of is⟩ a person equal to oneself; with those in the 3rd, a brother; with those in the 5th (suta), a son; with those in the 4th, the mother, or else a sister; with those standing in the 6th (the enemy's house), the thought is about an enemy indeed.

भार्या भवेत्सप्तमगैरमीभिर्धर्माश्रितो धर्मसमाश्रितैश्च । खस्थैर्गुरुः स्वांशपमित्रशत्रुस्थानेषु तद्वद्बलवत्सु वाच्यम्

bhāryā bhavetsaptamagairamībhirdharmāśrito dharmasamāśritaiśca | khasthairguruḥ svāṃśapamitraśatrusthāneṣu tadvadbalavatsu vācyam

By these same ⟨grahas⟩ gone to the 7th it is the wife; by those resorting to the 9th (dharma), one devoted to dharma; by those in the 10th (kha), the teacher. In the same way it is to be declared of strong ⟨grahas⟩ standing in the houses of their own navāṃśa lord, of a friend, and of an enemy.

भागे चरे चरविलग्नगते च मध्याद् भ्रष्टप्रवासविषया भवतीह चिन्ता । भ्रष्टः स चेद्भवति सप्तमतस्तदा तु व्यावर्तते यदि न वक्रगतो ग्रहोऽसौ

bhāge care caravilagnagate ca madhyād bhraṣṭapravāsaviṣayā bhavatīha cintā | bhraṣṭaḥ sa cedbhavati saptamatastadā tu vyāvartate yadi na vakragato graho'sau

When the ⟨navā⟩ṃśa is movable and it has gone into a movable ascendant, then ⟨reckoning⟩ from the midheaven the query here concerns one who has absconded, or a sojourn abroad. And if he is fallen away from the 7th, then he turns back — provided that graha is not retrograde.

दीर्घास्तुलालिमृगनायककन्यकाः स्युर्मध्या धनुर्मकरकर्कटयुग्मसंज्ञाः । ह्रस्वाश्च मेषवृषमीनघटाः प्रदिष्टा वस्तुप्रमाणमपि राशिसमानमेव

dīrghāstulālimṛganāyakakanyakāḥ syurmadhyā dhanurmakarakarkaṭayugmasaṃjñāḥ | hrasvāśca meṣavṛṣamīnaghaṭāḥ pradiṣṭā vastupramāṇamapi rāśisamānameva

Libra, Scorpio, Leo (mṛganāyaka, 'lord of beasts') and Virgo are long; Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer and Gemini are termed middling; and Aries, Taurus, Pisces and Aquarius are declared short. The measure of the object too is exactly according to the rāśi.

रक्तौ सूर्यमहीसुतौ शशिसितौ श्वेतौ सुधादीधितेः सूनुः स्याद्धरिताकृतिः सुरगुरुः पीतः शनिः श्यामलः । सूर्यः स्याच्चतुरस्रकः क्षितिसुतो वृत्तस्तथा रंध्रवान् सौम्यो दीर्घतनुस्तथा शशधरो दीर्घाकृतिः सुंदरः

raktau sūryamahīsutau śaśisitau śvetau sudhādīdhiteḥ sūnuḥ syāddharitākṛtiḥ suraguruḥ pītaḥ śaniḥ śyāmalaḥ | sūryaḥ syāccaturasrakaḥ kṣitisuto vṛttastathā raṃdhravān saumyo dīrghatanustathā śaśadharo dīrghākṛtiḥ suṃdaraḥ

The Sun and Mars are red; the Moon and Venus, white; the son of the nectar-rayed one ⟨Mercury⟩ is of green appearance; the preceptor of the gods ⟨Jupiter⟩ is yellow; Saturn is dark. The Sun is square; Mars is round and also perforated; Mercury (saumya) is long of body; and the Moon is long in shape and beautiful.

जीवो वृत्तवपुः सितस्त्वतिकृशः सौरिश्च दीर्घाकृतिर्मध्ये रंध्रसमन्वितश्च कथितं रूपं ग्रहाणामिदम् । इत्येवं कृतचिन्तितादिविषयप्रश्नेषु वर्णाकृती द्रव्यस्यापि बलान्वितग्रहवशान्निःसंशयं निर्दिशेत्

jīvo vṛttavapuḥ sitastvatikṛśaḥ sauriśca dīrghākṛtirmadhye raṃdhrasamanvitaśca kathitaṃ rūpaṃ grahāṇāmidam | ityevaṃ kṛtacintitādiviṣayapraśneṣu varṇākṛtī dravyasyāpi balānvitagrahavaśānniḥsaṃśayaṃ nirdiśet

Jupiter is round of body; Venus is very lean; and Saturn is long in shape and furnished with a hole in the middle. This is the form of the grahas as declared. Thus, in queries whose subject is a thing done or thought of and the like, one should declare without doubt the colour and shape of the object as well, according to the graha endowed with strength.

लग्ने वाभ्युदितं त्रिकोणभवने स्वांशं निजांशस्थितो यः कश्चिद्ग्रह ईक्षते तदिह वा स्याद्धातुचिन्ता ध्रुवम् । अन्यांशे समवस्थितः पुनरसौ जीवस्य चिन्ताकरो मूलस्यापि परांशके परिगतः पश्यन् परांशं ग्रहः

lagne vābhyuditaṃ trikoṇabhavane svāṃśaṃ nijāṃśasthito yaḥ kaścidgraha īkṣate tadiha vā syāddhātucintā dhruvam | anyāṃśe samavasthitaḥ punarasau jīvasya cintākaro mūlasyāpi parāṃśake parigataḥ paśyan parāṃśaṃ grahaḥ

⟨When⟩ the own aṃśa has risen in the lagna or in a trikoṇa house, and whatever graha, itself standing in its own aṃśa, aspects it, then here the thought is assuredly of a mineral (dhātu). But if that same ⟨graha⟩ stands in another's aṃśa, it makes the thought one of a living creature (jīva); and ⟨the thought⟩ is of a vegetable (mūla) when the graha, having passed into another's aṃśa, aspects another's aṃśa.

विद्याद्ग्रहे तु विषमे किल धातुमूल जीवान् समे तु विपरीतमिदं विचिन्त्यम् । लग्नांशकक्रमवशाद्गणनीयमेवं संक्षेप एष विवृतिस्त्वतिचिन्तनेन

vidyādgrahe tu viṣame kila dhātumūla jīvān same tu viparītamidaṃ vicintyam | lagnāṃśakakramavaśādgaṇanīyamevaṃ saṃkṣepa eṣa vivṛtistvaticintanena

One should know ⟨them as⟩ dhātu, mūla and jīva ⟨in that order⟩ when the graha is in an odd ⟨sign⟩; but in an even one this is to be considered reversed. Thus it is to be reckoned according to the sequence of the lagna's aṃśa. This is the summary; the full exposition, however, ⟨comes⟩ through much reflection.

बलिनौ भास्करभौमौ धातुकरौ संस्थितौ प्रश्ने । मूलकरौ शनिसौम्यौ शशिगुरुभृगुजास्तथा जीवाः

balinau bhāskarabhaumau dhātukarau saṃsthitau praśne | mūlakarau śanisaumyau śaśigurubhṛgujāstathā jīvāḥ

The Sun and Mars, strong and posited ⟨thus⟩ in the query, cause a mineral; Saturn and Mercury cause a vegetable; and the Moon, Jupiter and Venus are ⟨causers of⟩ a living creature.

मेषे सिंहे वृश्चिके वा विलग्ने भौमार्काभ्यामन्विते वीक्षिते वा । धातोश्चिन्तां सौरिचन्द्रात्मजाभ्यां मूलं युग्मे कुम्भकन्यामृगेषु

meṣe siṃhe vṛścike vā vilagne bhaumārkābhyāmanvite vīkṣite vā | dhātościntāṃ sauricandrātmajābhyāṃ mūlaṃ yugme kumbhakanyāmṛgeṣu

When the ascendant is in Aries, Leo or Scorpio and is joined or aspected by Mars and the Sun, ⟨declare⟩ the thought of a mineral; by Saturn and Mercury (the Moon's son), a vegetable — in Gemini, Aquarius, Virgo and Capricorn.

मीनकर्कवृषचापतौलिभिश्चन्द्रशुक्रगुरुभिर्युतेक्षितैः । जीवमाहुरिति मिश्रितं धनं मिश्रितग्रहयुतेक्षणात्तथा

mīnakarkavṛṣacāpataulibhiścandraśukragurubhiryutekṣitaiḥ | jīvamāhuriti miśritaṃ dhanaṃ miśritagrahayutekṣaṇāttathā

By Pisces, Cancer, Taurus, Sagittarius and Libra when joined or aspected by the Moon, Venus and Jupiter, they call it a living creature; and likewise a mixed substance from the conjunction or aspect of mixed grahas.

चन्द्रार्कयोः शनिसितौ यदि सप्तमस्थौ तुर्येऽष्टमे च भवतो यदि वा विलग्नात् । स्यातां धने च सहजे यदि तौ विलग्नाद्वर्षासु वर्षमचिरेण तदा विधत्तः

candrārkayoḥ śanisitau yadi saptamasthau turye'ṣṭame ca bhavato yadi vā vilagnāt | syātāṃ dhane ca sahaje yadi tau vilagnādvarṣāsu varṣamacireṇa tadā vidhattaḥ

If Saturn and Venus stand in the seventh from the Moon and the Sun, or if they are in the fourth and the eighth from the lagna, or if the two of them are in the second (dhana) and the third (sahaja) from the lagna — then in the rainy season they bring on rainfall before long.

पक्षे सिते सलिलराशिगताः शुभाश्चेत् केन्द्रद्वितीयसहजालयगाश्च सम्यक् । चन्द्रोऽथवा सलिलराशिविलग्नगश्चेत् वृष्टिं वदेन्नियतमेव तदा धरित्र्याम्

pakṣe site salilarāśigatāḥ śubhāścet kendradvitīyasahajālayagāśca samyak | candro'thavā salilarāśivilagnagaścet vṛṣṭiṃ vadenniyatameva tadā dharitryām

In the bright fortnight, if the benefics have gone to watery rāśis and are duly placed in a kendra, in the second, and in the third (sahaja) house; or else if the Moon occupies a watery rāśi that is the lagna — then one should declare rain upon the earth to be certain.

कर्कटमृगमीनानामुदये चन्द्रः सितोऽपि वृष्टिकरः । तद्वत्केन्द्रोपगतौ सितचन्द्रौ वा शुभैर्दृष्टौ

karkaṭamṛgamīnānāmudaye candraḥ sito'pi vṛṣṭikaraḥ | tadvatkendropagatau sitacandrau vā śubhairdṛṣṭau

At the rising of Karka, Makara (mṛga) and Mīna, the Moon, and Venus too, is a giver of rain; and likewise Venus and the Moon when the two have come to a kendra, or are aspected by benefics.

शीतद्युतिः सलिलराशि विलग्नगामी वीर्यान्वितेन भृगुजेन निरीक्ष्यमाणः । वृष्टिं करोति महतीं भृगुजोऽपितद्वच्छीतांशुना बलयुतेन विलोकितश्चेत्

śītadyutiḥ salilarāśi vilagnagāmī vīryānvitena bhṛgujena nirīkṣyamāṇaḥ | vṛṣṭiṃ karoti mahatīṃ bhṛgujo'pitadvacchītāṃśunā balayutena vilokitaścet

The cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, entering a watery rāśi as the lagna and aspected by Venus endowed with strength, makes great rain; and Venus likewise, if he is aspected by the Moon possessed of strength.

लग्नाच्छशी त्रिमदनायसुतारिसंस्थः सूर्यामरेज्यशशिजैरवलोक्यमानः । प्रष्टुर्भवेन्नियतमेव विवाहदाता केन्द्रत्रिकोणभवनेष्वथवा शुभाश्च

lagnācchaśī trimadanāyasutārisaṃsthaḥ sūryāmarejyaśaśijairavalokyamānaḥ | praṣṭurbhavenniyatameva vivāhadātā kendratrikoṇabhavaneṣvathavā śubhāśca

If, ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lagna, the Moon stands in the 3rd, the 7th ⟨madana⟩, the 11th ⟨āya⟩, the 5th ⟨suta⟩ or the 6th ⟨ari⟩, and is aspected by the Sun, by Jupiter and by Mercury, he is for the querent, and beyond all doubt, a giver of marriage — or else ⟨so are⟩ benefics ⟨placed⟩ in the kendra and trikoṇa houses.

अत्रैव यदि योगे स्याच्छुभः सप्तमवेश्मनि । तदा लभेत सज्जायां पापश्चेद्रूपवर्जिताम्

atraiva yadi yoge syācchubhaḥ saptamaveśmani | tadā labheta sajjāyāṃ pāpaścedrūpavarjitām

In this very yoga, if a benefic is in the seventh house, then he obtains a good wife; but if a malefic ⟨is there⟩, one devoid of beauty.

समस्थिते सूर्यसुते वरस्य लभ्या भवेन्निश्चितमेव कन्या । अतोऽन्यथात्वं विषमस्थितेऽस्मिन्निःसंशयं प्रष्टुरुदाहरन्ति

samasthite sūryasute varasya labhyā bhavenniścitameva kanyā | ato'nyathātvaṃ viṣamasthite'sminniḥsaṃśayaṃ praṣṭurudāharanti

When Saturn, the Sun's son, stands in an even ⟨sign⟩, the girl is certainly to be obtained by the bridegroom. When he stands in an odd ⟨sign⟩, they declare for the querent, beyond doubt, the contrary of this.

सप्तमवित्तोपचयस्थानस्थो गुरुनिरीक्षितश्चन्द्रः । विदधाति युवतिलाभं तन्नाशं पापयुतदृष्टः

saptamavittopacayasthānastho gurunirīkṣitaścandraḥ | vidadhāti yuvatilābhaṃ tannāśaṃ pāpayutadṛṣṭaḥ

The Moon placed in the seventh, in the ⟨second, the house of⟩ wealth, or in an upacaya house, and aspected by Jupiter, brings about the gaining of a young woman; joined with or aspected by malefics, ⟨it brings⟩ the destruction of that.

यस्य प्रश्नविलग्नात् षष्ठाष्टमराशिगो भवेच्चन्द्रः । व्यूढस्य तस्य नूनं मृत्युः स्यादष्टमे वर्षे

yasya praśnavilagnāt ṣaṣṭhāṣṭamarāśigo bhaveccandraḥ | vyūḍhasya tasya nūnaṃ mṛtyuḥ syādaṣṭame varṣe

He from whose praśna lagna the Moon stands in the sixth or the eighth sign — for that man, once he is wedded, death surely comes in the eighth year.

यदि लग्नगतः क्रूरः पापस्तस्माच्चसप्तमे भवति । सप्तभिरेव तदाऽब्दैः पुंसो निधनं विनिर्देश्यम्

yadi lagnagataḥ krūraḥ pāpastasmāccasaptame bhavati | saptabhireva tadā'bdaiḥ puṃso nidhanaṃ vinirdeśyam

If a malefic occupies the lagna and ⟨another⟩ malefic is in the seventh from it, then the death of the man is to be declared within seven years.

एवं लग्नोपगते चन्द्रे तस्माच्च सप्तमे भौमे । परतो विवाहकालाज्जीवेन्मासाष्टकं स पुमान्

evaṃ lagnopagate candre tasmācca saptame bhaume | parato vivāhakālājjīvenmāsāṣṭakaṃ sa pumān

Likewise, when the Moon has entered the lagna and Mars is in the seventh from it, that man lives ⟨only⟩ eight months beyond the time of the marriage.

उदयाष्टमराशिसंस्थिते भृगुपुत्रेऽप्यथवेन्दुनंदने । विधवा क्षितिजे तु सप्तमे म्रियते निश्चितमेव कन्यका

udayāṣṭamarāśisaṃsthite bhṛguputre'pyathavendunaṃdane | vidhavā kṣitije tu saptame mriyate niścitameva kanyakā

When Venus, the son of Bhṛgu, or else Mercury, the son of the Moon, stands in the eighth sign from the rising ⟨sign⟩, ⟨the girl becomes⟩ a widow; but with Mars in the seventh the girl herself certainly dies.

दिवामणिः सप्तमगो लग्नात्कन्यां मृतप्रजां कुरुते । कुलटामुदयोपगतः कुरुते नैवात्र संदेहः

divāmaṇiḥ saptamago lagnātkanyāṃ mṛtaprajāṃ kurute | kulaṭāmudayopagataḥ kurute naivātra saṃdehaḥ

The Sun, the day-jewel, in the seventh from the lagna makes the girl one whose children die; standing in the rising ⟨sign⟩ he makes her an unchaste woman — there is no doubt here at all.

सक्रूरौ कुरुतोऽमृतांशुशशिजौ षष्ठे स्त्रियं दुर्भगां कुर्वाते शशिभार्गवौ च कुलटामाये च जायास्थितौ । अत्रैवेन्दुजभार्गवौ जनयतो वैधव्यमावश्यकं प्रत्येकं च सपापकैर्यदि ततोऽवश्यं तु वेश्या भवेत्

sakrūrau kuruto'mṛtāṃśuśaśijau ṣaṣṭhe striyaṃ durbhagāṃ kurvāte śaśibhārgavau ca kulaṭāmāye ca jāyāsthitau | atraivendujabhārgavau janayato vaidhavyamāvaśyakaṃ pratyekaṃ ca sapāpakairyadi tato'vaśyaṃ tu veśyā bhavet

The Moon and Mercury, together with a malefic in the sixth, make the woman ill-fated; the Moon and Venus, placed in the eleventh ⟨āya⟩ and in the seventh ⟨jāyā⟩, make her unchaste. In these very ⟨places⟩ Mercury and Venus produce inevitable widowhood; and if each of them is accompanied by malefics, then she surely becomes a harlot.

लग्नात्स्मरेशत्रिसुतारिगश्चेद् गुर्वर्कसौम्यैः शशभृन्न चान्यैः । दृष्टो दिशेदाशु तदा विवाहं चिरात्स विघ्नं त्वशुभेक्षितश्चेत्

lagnātsmareśatrisutārigaśced gurvarkasaumyaiḥ śaśabhṛnna cānyaiḥ | dṛṣṭo diśedāśu tadā vivāhaṃ cirātsa vighnaṃ tvaśubhekṣitaścet

If the Moon, from the lagna, goes to the 7th ⟨smara⟩, the 11th ⟨īśa⟩, the 3rd, the 5th ⟨suta⟩ or the 6th ⟨ari⟩, and is aspected by Jupiter, the Sun and Mercury and not by others, it then declares marriage swiftly; but if it is aspected by inauspicious ⟨grahas⟩, ⟨it declares⟩ obstruction, and ⟨marriage⟩ only after long delay.

लग्नगं शशिसुतं शशिनं वा वीक्षते बलयुतो यदि शुक्रः । योषिदाप्तिरचिरेण तदा स्यात्पापदृष्टिसहितं तु न हीति

lagnagaṃ śaśisutaṃ śaśinaṃ vā vīkṣate balayuto yadi śukraḥ | yoṣidāptiracireṇa tadā syātpāpadṛṣṭisahitaṃ tu na hīti

If Venus, possessed of strength, aspects Mercury or the Moon standing in the lagna, then the gaining of a woman comes about before long; but ⟨if that graha is⟩ accompanied by the aspect of a malefic, then it does not.

चरालयस्थौ यदि लग्नचन्द्रौ विलोक्यमानौ भृगुनन्दनेन । पापग्रहाः कण्टकसंगताश्चेत्प्रभूतकान्तां लभते तदानीम्

carālayasthau yadi lagnacandrau vilokyamānau bhṛgunandanena | pāpagrahāḥ kaṇṭakasaṃgatāścetprabhūtakāntāṃ labhate tadānīm

If the lagna and the Moon stand in movable signs and are aspected by Venus, the son of Bhṛgu, and if malefics are joined to the kaṇṭakas ⟨the angles⟩, then he obtains at that time a much-loved wife.

स्थिरे विलग्ने स्थिरलग्नगामिभिर्ग्रहैः शुभैश्चापि विलोकिते च । भृतं युवत्या ध्रुवमेव गर्भं ब्रूयादिति श्रीयवनाधिनाथः

sthire vilagne sthiralagnagāmibhirgrahaiḥ śubhaiścāpi vilokite ca | bhṛtaṃ yuvatyā dhruvameva garbhaṃ brūyāditi śrīyavanādhināthaḥ

When the ascendant (vilagna) is a fixed sign, with the grahas ⟨likewise⟩ standing in fixed signs, and it is aspected by benefics as well, one should declare that the young woman assuredly bears a conceived child — thus the venerable lord of the Yavanas ⟨Yavanācārya⟩.

लग्नतो विषमराशिगः शनिः पुत्रजन्मनि भवेत्सकारणम् । स्त्रीजनिश्च समगे शनैश्चरे प्राह दिव्यगणको बृहस्पतिः

lagnato viṣamarāśigaḥ śaniḥ putrajanmani bhavetsakāraṇam | strījaniśca samage śanaiścare prāha divyagaṇako bṛhaspatiḥ

Saturn placed in an odd sign counted from the ascendant (lagna) becomes the cause of the birth of a son; and when Śanaiścara ⟨Saturn⟩ is in an even sign, the birth is female — so said the divine reckoner Bṛhaspati.

पुरुषवर्गगते च तथोदये नरनभोगतिनाऽभिनिरीक्षिते । बलिनि निश्चितमेव सुतोद्भवो वरमपीह शुभं लभतेऽङ्गना

puruṣavargagate ca tathodaye naranabhogatinā'bhinirīkṣite | balini niścitameva sutodbhavo varamapīha śubhaṃ labhate'ṅganā

And when the rising sign (udaya) has gone into a male varga, is aspected by a male sky-goer ⟨graha⟩, and is strong, the birth of a son is certain; and here the woman obtains an auspicious vara ⟨a good husband — or a boon⟩ as well.

उदयगते स्त्रीराशौ स्त्रीनवभागेऽपि पुंग्रहाऽदृष्टे । स्त्रीजन्म भवति तद्वत्स्त्रीद्रेष्काणोदये यवनः

udayagate strīrāśau strīnavabhāge'pi puṃgrahā'dṛṣṭe | strījanma bhavati tadvatstrīdreṣkāṇodaye yavanaḥ

When the rising sign (udaya) is a female rāśi, and is in a female navabhāga ⟨navāṃśa⟩ as well, and is unaspected by male grahas, the birth is female; and likewise when a female dreṣkāṇa ⟨decanate⟩ rises — ⟨so⟩ Yavana.

ओजर्क्षे पुरुषांशकेषु बलिभिर्लग्नार्कगुर्विन्दुभिः पुंजन्म प्रवदेत्समांशकगतैर्युग्मेषु तैर्योषितः । गुर्वर्कौ विषमे नरं शशिसितौ वक्रश्च युग्मे स्त्रियं धीलाभोपगतैः शुभैरुदयतः स्त्री गर्भयुक्ता ध्रुवम्

ojarkṣe puruṣāṃśakeṣu balibhirlagnārkagurvindubhiḥ puṃjanma pravadetsamāṃśakagatairyugmeṣu tairyoṣitaḥ | gurvarkau viṣame naraṃ śaśisitau vakraśca yugme striyaṃ dhīlābhopagataiḥ śubhairudayataḥ strī garbhayuktā dhruvam

In an odd sign and in male aṃśas ⟨navāṃśas⟩, with the ascendant (lagna), the Sun, Jupiter and the Moon strong, one should declare a male birth; with those same ⟨grahas⟩ in even signs and gone to even aṃśas, ⟨the birth⟩ of a female. Jupiter and the Sun in an odd sign ⟨give⟩ a male; the Moon and Venus, and Mars (vakra), in an even sign, a female. With benefics gone to dhī ⟨the 5th⟩ and lābha ⟨the 11th⟩ from the ascendant, the woman is assuredly with child.

चन्द्रलग्नान्तरगतैर्ग्रहैः स्युरुपसूतिकाः । बहिरन्तश्च चक्रार्धे दृश्याऽदृश्याऽन्यथा परे

candralagnāntaragatairgrahaiḥ syurupasūtikāḥ | bahirantaśca cakrārdhe dṛśyā'dṛśyā'nyathā pare

By the grahas standing in the interval between the Moon and the ascendant (lagna) are ⟨known⟩ the women attending the birth; and ⟨they stand⟩ outside or within — ⟨those⟩ in the visible half of the circle ⟨outside⟩, ⟨those in⟩ the invisible ⟨within⟩; the rest, otherwise.

बलयुक्तौ स्वगृहांशेष्वर्कसितावुपचयर्क्षगौ पुंसाम् । स्त्रीणां वा कुजचन्द्रौ यदा तदा सम्भवति गर्भः

balayuktau svagṛhāṃśeṣvarkasitāvupacayarkṣagau puṃsām | strīṇāṃ vā kujacandrau yadā tadā sambhavati garbhaḥ

When the Sun and Venus, endowed with strength, stand in their own signs and aṃśas and occupy upacaya signs — for men; or, for women, Mars and the Moon ⟨so placed⟩ — then conception takes place.

सौरांशेऽब्जांशे वा चन्द्रः सौरान्वितोऽथवा हिबुके । शान्तो दीपो जन्मन्याधाने प्रश्नकाले वा

saurāṃśe'bjāṃśe vā candraḥ saurānvito'thavā hibuke | śānto dīpo janmanyādhāne praśnakāle vā

When the Moon is in Saturn's aṃśa or in the Moon's own aṃśa, or is joined with Saturn in the hibuka ⟨the 4th house⟩, the lamp is put out — at the birth, at the conception (ādhāna), or at the time of the query (praśna).

पापद्वयमध्यसंस्थितौ लग्नेन्दू न च सौम्यवीक्षितौ । युगपत्पृथगेव वा वदेन्नारी गर्भयुता विपद्यते

pāpadvayamadhyasaṃsthitau lagnendū na ca saumyavīkṣitau | yugapatpṛthageva vā vadennārī garbhayutā vipadyate

When the ascendant (lagna) and the Moon stand hemmed between two malefics and are not aspected by benefics — whether both at once or each singly — one should declare that the woman with child perishes.

भृगुसुतो वसुधातनयो गुरुर्दिनपतिः शशभृद्रविनन्दनः । शशिसुतोऽपि च लग्नपतीरविः शशधरोऽपि च मासपतिः क्रमात्

bhṛgusuto vasudhātanayo gururdinapatiḥ śaśabhṛdravinandanaḥ | śaśisuto'pi ca lagnapatīraviḥ śaśadharo'pi ca māsapatiḥ kramāt

The son of Bhṛgu ⟨Venus⟩, the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, Jupiter, the lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩, the hare-bearer ⟨the Moon⟩, the son of the Sun ⟨Saturn⟩, and the son of the Moon ⟨Mercury⟩ too, then the lord of the ascendant (lagna), the Sun, and the Moon again — ⟨these are⟩ the lords of the months, in order.

एते यदा शत्रुगृहे वसन्ति युद्धे जिताः शत्रुभिरस्तगा वा । अन्यत्र वा पीडितदेहभाजो गर्भस्थ पातं जनयन्ति खेटाः

ete yadā śatrugṛhe vasanti yuddhe jitāḥ śatrubhirastagā vā | anyatra vā pīḍitadehabhājo garbhastha pātaṃ janayanti kheṭāḥ

When these ⟨month-lords⟩ dwell in an enemy's house, or are defeated by enemies in ⟨planetary⟩ war, or are combust (asta), or elsewhere bear an afflicted body, these grahas ⟨kheṭas⟩ bring about the fall ⟨miscarriage⟩ of the one lodged in the womb.

रक्तस्तीक्ष्णतनुर्दिनेश उदितः सौन्दर्यवान् शीतगुः क्रूराक्षोधरणीसुतोऽतिविनयी सोमात्मजोऽपि स्मृतः । जीवः पण्डितमण्डलीषु सहितः शुक्रश्च काणः शनिः खञ्जो लग्नसमन्वितो निजफलं दत्ते बलं चिन्त्यताम्

raktastīkṣṇatanurdineśa uditaḥ saundaryavān śītaguḥ krūrākṣodharaṇīsuto'tivinayī somātmajo'pi smṛtaḥ | jīvaḥ paṇḍitamaṇḍalīṣu sahitaḥ śukraśca kāṇaḥ śaniḥ khañjo lagnasamanvito nijaphalaṃ datte balaṃ cintyatām

The lord of day ⟨the Sun⟩, when risen, ⟨makes one⟩ red and of a sharp, spare frame; the cool-rayed one ⟨the Moon⟩, possessed of beauty; the son of the Earth ⟨Mars⟩, cruel-eyed; the son of Soma ⟨Mercury⟩ is held to be exceedingly well-mannered; Jupiter ⟨sets one⟩ in the company of assemblies of the learned; and Venus ⟨gives⟩ a one-eyed man, Saturn a lame one. Joined with the ascendant (lagna), ⟨each graha⟩ yields its own fruit; its strength is to be considered.

च्युतिर्लग्नाज्ज्ञेया हिबुकगृहतो वृद्धिरुदिता प्रवासः स्यान्मध्याद्भवति विनिवृत्तिः स्मरगृहात् । गृहैरेतत्प्रश्नोदयसमयगैर्वाच्यमखिलं प्रविष्टः स्वं गेहं हिबुकगृहगे प्रोषितपुमान्

cyutirlagnājjñeyā hibukagṛhato vṛddhiruditā pravāsaḥ syānmadhyādbhavati vinivṛttiḥ smaragṛhāt | gṛhairetatpraśnodayasamayagairvācyamakhilaṃ praviṣṭaḥ svaṃ gehaṃ hibukagṛhage proṣitapumān

Departure ⟨of the absent man⟩ is to be known from the lagna; from the hibuka house (the 4th) increase is declared; from the mid-heaven (the 10th) there is sojourn abroad; from the smara house (the 7th) comes the return. All this is to be told by the houses ⟨occupied⟩ at the moment the query rises. When ⟨the significator⟩ stands in the hibuka house, the absent man has entered his own home.

लग्नाद्द्वितीयनिधनास्तमयेषु सौम्यैः पापैस्त्रिषष्ठभगतैश्च शुभं फलं स्यात् । व्यत्यासतः सपदि सेवकसेव्ययोश्च नित्यं प्रवासकलहौ प्रतिपादनीयौ

When benefics are in the 2nd, the 8th (nidhana) and the 7th (astamaya) from the lagna, and malefics are in the 3rd and 6th houses, the fruit will be auspicious. By reversal ⟨of this⟩, for servant and master alike, sojourn abroad and quarrel are always to be declared, and at once.

सौम्यैरष्टमसंस्थैर्द्वितीयसंस्थैस्तथैव दीर्घायुः । भवति प्रष्टुर्नित्यं तदन्यथात्वेऽन्यथात्वं स्यात्

saumyairaṣṭamasaṃsthairdvitīyasaṃsthaistathaiva dīrghāyuḥ | bhavati praṣṭurnityaṃ tadanyathātve'nyathātvaṃ syāt

With benefics placed in the 8th, and likewise placed in the 2nd, the querent always has long life; where it is otherwise than that, it will be otherwise.

दशमचतुर्थैरेभिः सुखसम्पत्तिः क्षतिस्तु विपरीते । वित्तैकादशसंस्थैर्वित्ताप्तिः प्रष्टुरादेश्या

daśamacaturthairebhiḥ sukhasampattiḥ kṣatistu viparīte | vittaikādaśasaṃsthairvittāptiḥ praṣṭurādeśyā

By these ⟨benefics⟩ in the 10th and the 4th, comfort and wealth; but loss in the contrary case. With them placed in the wealth-house (the 2nd) and the 11th, gain of wealth is to be foretold for the querent.

पापैर्विलग्ने परिपृच्छतस्तु शरीरपीडा कलहश्च वाच्यः । सुखक्षतिः स्यात्सुखगैर्गृहस्य भेदस्तथा बांधवविग्रहश्च

pāpairvilagne paripṛcchatastu śarīrapīḍā kalahaśca vācyaḥ | sukhakṣatiḥ syātsukhagairgṛhasya bhedastathā bāṃdhavavigrahaśca

With malefics in the lagna, bodily affliction and quarrel are to be declared for the questioner; with them in the sukha house (the 4th) there will be loss of comfort, the breaking up of the house, and strife with kinsmen.

अस्तस्थितैः स्याद्गमनस्य बाधः कर्मस्थितैः कर्मविनाशमाहुः । सर्वत्र चामुत्र शुभैर्न दृष्टे कृच्छ्रेण संसिद्धिमुदाहरन्ति

astasthitaiḥ syādgamanasya bādhaḥ karmasthitaiḥ karmavināśamāhuḥ | sarvatra cāmutra śubhairna dṛṣṭe kṛcchreṇa saṃsiddhimudāharanti

With them placed in the 7th (asta) there will be obstruction of the journey; placed in the karma house (the 10th) they declare the destruction of the undertaking. And in every case, when ⟨the place⟩ there is not aspected by benefics, they say accomplishment comes only with hardship.

शीतद्युतौ पापयुतेक्षिते वा नारीजनैः स्यात्सह विग्रहस्तु । सुखस्थितैर्द्यूनगतैश्च यद्वा तथैव पापैरवधारणीयः

śītadyutau pāpayutekṣite vā nārījanaiḥ syātsaha vigrahastu | sukhasthitairdyūnagataiśca yadvā tathaiva pāpairavadhāraṇīyaḥ

When the cool-rayed one (the Moon) is joined or aspected by malefics, there will be strife with womenfolk; or it is to be determined in the same way from malefics placed in the sukha house (the 4th) and in the dyūna house (the 7th).

लग्नादष्टमगेऽर्के शुभयुक्ते वा शुभेन संदृष्टे । तस्माद्देशादन्यं देशं गत इति पिता तस्य

lagnādaṣṭamage'rke śubhayukte vā śubhena saṃdṛṣṭe | tasmāddeśādanyaṃ deśaṃ gata iti pitā tasya

When the Sun is in the 8th from the lagna, joined with a benefic or aspected by a benefic, ⟨then declare that⟩ his father has gone from that country to another country.

सूर्यः कटुः शशधरो लवणो महीजस्तिक्तो विमिश्रितरसश्च शशांकसूनुः । जीवो भवेच्च मधुरोऽम्लकषायकौ च शुक्रार्कजौ च बलवानिह केन्द्रगामी

sūryaḥ kaṭuḥ śaśadharo lavaṇo mahījastikto vimiśritarasaśca śaśāṃkasūnuḥ | jīvo bhavecca madhuro'mlakaṣāyakau ca śukrārkajau ca balavāniha kendragāmī

The Sun is pungent, the hare-marked one (the Moon) salty, the earth-born (Mars) bitter, and the Moon's son (Mercury) of mixed taste; Jupiter (jīva) is sweet, and Venus and the Sun's son (Saturn) are sour and astringent. Here the one that has gone to a kendra is strong.

यस्तत्र काले किल लग्नदृग् वा ग्रहो रसस्तस्य तु यः प्रदिष्टः । स एव तावत्प्रतिपादनीयो बलक्रमेण द्वितये रसाश्च

yastatra kāle kila lagnadṛg vā graho rasastasya tu yaḥ pradiṣṭaḥ | sa eva tāvatpratipādanīyo balakrameṇa dvitaye rasāśca

Whichever graha at that time ⟨occupies⟩ or aspects the lagna — the taste that has been assigned to it is the one to be declared; and where there are two, the tastes ⟨follow⟩ in the order of strength.

सौम्यर्क्षसंस्थस्य स शोभनः स्यात्पापर्क्षसंस्थस्य तु नीरसः स्यात् । ग्रहस्य वक्रस्य रसं न भोक्ता भुङ्क्ते च पात्रे च पुनः प्रदत्तम्

saumyarkṣasaṃsthasya sa śobhanaḥ syātpāparkṣasaṃsthasya tu nīrasaḥ syāt | grahasya vakrasya rasaṃ na bhoktā bhuṅkte ca pātre ca punaḥ pradattam

Of a graha placed in a benefic's sign that ⟨taste⟩ will be fine; of one placed in a malefic's sign it will be flat. The taste of a retrograde graha the eater does not eat ⟨at first⟩; he eats it when it is put into the dish again.

स्थिरे विलग्ने न गमागमौ स्तो न रोगशांतिर्न च वित्तनाशः । मृतो न नष्टो न पराभवोऽपि चरे विलग्ने विपरीतमेतत्

sthire vilagne na gamāgamau sto na rogaśāṃtirna ca vittanāśaḥ | mṛto na naṣṭo na parābhavo'pi care vilagne viparītametat

When the lagna is fixed there is neither going nor coming, no easing of illness and no loss of wealth; ⟨the man asked about⟩ is not dead, nothing is lost, nor is there defeat. When the lagna is movable, the reverse of this.

विमिश्रितं स्याद्द्वितनौ तदंशद्वये चरस्थावरवद्वदन्ति । शुभेक्षणाल्लग्नशशांकयोर्वा भवेच्छुभं चाशुभमन्यथा तु

vimiśritaṃ syāddvitanau tadaṃśadvaye carasthāvaravadvadanti | śubhekṣaṇāllagnaśaśāṃkayorvā bhavecchubhaṃ cāśubhamanyathā tu

In a two-bodied ⟨sign⟩ it will be mixed; in its two divisions they speak as for a movable and for a fixed ⟨sign⟩. Or, from a benefic aspect on the lagna and on the Moon it will be auspicious, and inauspicious otherwise.

कंदृक्श्रोत्रनसाकपोलहनवो वक्त्रं च होरादयस्तेकण्ठांसकबाहुपार्श्वहृदयक्रोडानि नाभिस्ततः । वस्तिः शिश्नगुदे ततश्च वृषणावूरु ततो जानुनी जंघांघ्रीत्युभयत्र वा समुदितैर् द्रेष्काणभागैस्त्रिधा

kaṃdṛkśrotranasākapolahanavo vaktraṃ ca horādayastekaṇṭhāṃsakabāhupārśvahṛdayakroḍāni nābhistataḥ | vastiḥ śiśnagude tataśca vṛṣaṇāvūru tato jānunī jaṃghāṃghrītyubhayatra vā samuditair dreṣkāṇabhāgaistridhā

The head, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the cheeks, the jaws and the mouth — these ⟨run⟩ from the horā onward; then the throat, the shoulders, the arms, the flanks, the heart and the belly, and after that the navel; the bladder, the penis and the anus, and after that the testicles, the thighs, then the knees, the shanks and the feet — ⟨reckoned⟩ on both sides, or threefold by the drekkāṇa divisions taken together.

तस्मिन्पापयुते व्रणः शुभयुते दृष्टे च लक्ष्मादिशेत्स्वर्क्षांशस्थिरसंयुते च सहजः स्यादन्यथाऽऽगंतुकः । मन्देऽश्मानिलजोऽग्निशस्त्रविषजो भौमे बुधे भूभवः सूर्ये काष्ठचतुष्पदेन हिमगौ शृङ्गाब्जजोऽन्यैः शुभः

tasminpāpayute vraṇaḥ śubhayute dṛṣṭe ca lakṣmādiśetsvarkṣāṃśasthirasaṃyute ca sahajaḥ syādanyathā''gaṃtukaḥ | mande'śmānilajo'gniśastraviṣajo bhaume budhe bhūbhavaḥ sūrye kāṣṭhacatuṣpadena himagau śṛṅgābjajo'nyaiḥ śubhaḥ

When that ⟨division⟩ is joined by a malefic there is a wound; when it is joined with or aspected by a benefic one should declare a mark. Joined with its own sign or own aṃśa, or with a fixed ⟨sign⟩, it is congenital; otherwise it is acquired. With Saturn it is caused by stone and wind; with Mars by fire, weapon or poison; with Mercury it is earth-born; with the Sun by wood or a quadruped; with the snow-rayed one (the Moon) by a horned or a water-born creature; by the others the mark is auspicious.

समनुपतिता यस्मिन्भागे त्रयः सबुधा ग्रहा भवति नियमात्तस्यावाप्तिः शुभेष्वशुभेषु वा । व्रणकृदशुभः षष्ठो लग्नात्तनौ भसमाश्रिते तिलकमसकृद्दृष्टः सौम्यैर्भवेत्स च लक्ष्मवान्

samanupatitā yasminbhāge trayaḥ sabudhā grahā bhavati niyamāttasyāvāptiḥ śubheṣvaśubheṣu vā | vraṇakṛdaśubhaḥ ṣaṣṭho lagnāttanau bhasamāśrite tilakamasakṛddṛṣṭaḥ saumyairbhavetsa ca lakṣmavān

In whatever division three grahas together with Mercury have fallen at once, the ⟨mark⟩ of that ⟨limb⟩ comes about as a rule, whether they be among the benefics or among the malefics. A malefic ⟨that is⟩ sixth from the lagna, when it resorts to the same portion of the sign in the tanu (the 1st), causes a wound; aspected again and again by benefics it becomes a mole, and ⟨the man⟩ is one who bears such marks.

क्रियः शिरोवक्त्रगमी वृषोऽन्यः पादांसकौ पृष्ठमुरोऽथपार्श्वे । कुक्षिस्त्वपानोऽङ्घ्र्यथ मेढ्रमुष्कौ स्फिक्पुच्छमित्याह चतुष्पदांगे

kriyaḥ śirovaktragamī vṛṣo'nyaḥ pādāṃsakau pṛṣṭhamuro'thapārśve | kukṣistvapāno'ṅghryatha meḍhramuṣkau sphikpucchamityāha catuṣpadāṃge

Aries (kriya) traverses the head and the face; Taurus and the next ⟨Gemini⟩, the feet and the shoulders; ⟨then⟩ the back, the chest, then the two flanks; the belly, the anus, the ⟨hind⟩ foot, then the penis and testicles, the buttocks, the tail — thus has he spoken of the limbs of a quadruped.

शंकुच्छायांगुलतो ज्ञात्वा तत्काललग्नलिप्तास्तु । छायांगुलैर्विगुणिता अथ पृथक् सप्तभिर्विभजेत्

śaṃkucchāyāṃgulato jñātvā tatkālalagnaliptāstu | chāyāṃgulairviguṇitā atha pṛthak saptabhirvibhajet

Having ascertained ⟨the shadow⟩ in aṅgulas from the gnomon's shadow, the minutes of arc (liptā) of the lagna of that moment, multiplied by the shadow-aṅgulas, are then to be divided separately by seven.

शेषग्रहगुणकारोऽर्केन्दुकुजज्ञेज्यशुक्रसौरीणाम् । पंचैकविंश मनवो नवाष्ट वह्नीश संज्ञाश्च

śeṣagrahaguṇakāro'rkendukujajñejyaśukrasaurīṇām | paṃcaikaviṃśa manavo navāṣṭa vahnīśa saṃjñāśca

The multipliers for the remainder-graha — of the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn — are named as five, twenty-one, the Manus ⟨fourteen⟩, nine, eight, the fires ⟨three⟩ and Īśa ⟨eleven⟩.

हत्वा स्मरावशेषे स्यादुदयः शुभग्रहस्य तदा । अभिमतसिद्धिः प्रष्टुर्न क्रूरस्योदये किंचित्

hatvā smarāvaśeṣe syādudayaḥ śubhagrahasya tadā | abhimatasiddhiḥ praṣṭurna krūrasyodaye kiṃcit

Having multiplied ⟨by these⟩, if in the remainder ⟨of the division by⟩ smara ⟨five⟩ there is then the rising of a benefic graha, the querent's desired object is accomplished; at the rising of a malefic, nothing.

गुणकारैक्यविभक्ते तस्मिन् सूर्यादिगुणकपरिशुद्धे । यस्य न शुद्धयति वर्गो विज्ञेयस्तद्वशात्कालः

guṇakāraikyavibhakte tasmin sūryādiguṇakapariśuddhe | yasya na śuddhayati vargo vijñeyastadvaśātkālaḥ

When that ⟨product⟩ has been divided by the sum of the multipliers, and ⟨the remainder⟩ has been cleared off by the multipliers beginning with the Sun's, the ⟨graha⟩ whose group does not clear is the one to be known; by that one the time ⟨is determined⟩.

भौमदिवाकरशेषे दिवसाः शुक्रेन्दुशेषतः पक्षाः । सुरगुरुशेषे मासाः सौम्ये ऋतवः शनावब्दाः

bhaumadivākaraśeṣe divasāḥ śukrenduśeṣataḥ pakṣāḥ | suraguruśeṣe māsāḥ saumye ṛtavaḥ śanāvabdāḥ

If the remainder is Mars's or the Sun's, ⟨the units are⟩ days; from a Venus or a Moon remainder, fortnights; in a remainder of the gods' preceptor (Jupiter), months; with Mercury, seasons; with Saturn, years.

आधाने तदनु जये पराजये वा शत्रूणां निधनविधौ समागमे वा । अर्थाप्तौ शुभमशुभं च सर्व कालं पृच्छायां समयमिमं विचिन्त्य वाच्यम्

ādhāne tadanu jaye parājaye vā śatrūṇāṃ nidhanavidhau samāgame vā | arthāptau śubhamaśubhaṃ ca sarva kālaṃ pṛcchāyāṃ samayamimaṃ vicintya vācyam

In ⟨a query about⟩ ādhāna, and thereafter about victory or defeat, about the doing to death of enemies or a meeting ⟨with them⟩, about the gaining of wealth — everything auspicious and inauspicious, and the time — is to be declared in the query after weighing this reckoning of time.

रवौ विलग्ने ज्वलनः प्रदीपो रक्तं च वस्त्रं नृपदर्शनं च । श्वेतं च वस्त्रं सितपुष्पगन्धा नारी च पीयूषमयूखगर्भे

ravau vilagne jvalanaḥ pradīpo raktaṃ ca vastraṃ nṛpadarśanaṃ ca | śvetaṃ ca vastraṃ sitapuṣpagandhā nārī ca pīyūṣamayūkhagarbhe

When the Sun is in the lagna: fire, a lamp, a red garment, and the sight of a king. And when ⟨the lagna⟩ is pregnant with the nectar-rayed one (the Moon): a white garment, white flowers, perfumes, and a woman.

महीसुते विद्रुमहेमरक्तस्रावस्तथैवार्द्रमृगादिमांसम् । शशांकपुत्रे नभसि प्रयाणं जीवे सुरैर्बन्धुजनेन योगः

mahīsute vidrumahemaraktasrāvastathaivārdramṛgādimāṃsam | śaśāṃkaputre nabhasi prayāṇaṃ jīve surairbandhujanena yogaḥ

With the earth's son (Mars): coral, gold, a flow of blood, and likewise the raw flesh of deer and the like. With the Moon's son (Mercury): travel through the sky. With Jupiter (jīva): union with the gods and with kinsfolk.

शुक्रे सलिलोत्तरणं तुंगाक्रमणं खरांशुपुत्रे च । लग्नस्थे वक्तव्यं स्वप्नप्रश्ने विमिश्रितं मिश्रैः

śukre salilottaraṇaṃ tuṃgākramaṇaṃ kharāṃśuputre ca | lagnasthe vaktavyaṃ svapnapraśne vimiśritaṃ miśraiḥ

With Venus: the crossing of water; and with the son of the harsh-rayed one (Saturn): the scaling of a height. ⟨All this⟩ is to be declared, in a query about a dream, of ⟨the graha⟩ standing in the lagna; with mixed ⟨grahas⟩, a mixed ⟨dream⟩.

शत्रुगृहनीचगृहगैर्दुःस्वप्नो निर्जितैर्ग्रहैर्वाच्यः । रविकिरणलुप्तकायैः स्वप्ने प्रष्टुर्भवेद्भंगः

śatrugṛhanīcagṛhagairduḥsvapno nirjitairgrahairvācyaḥ | ravikiraṇaluptakāyaiḥ svapne praṣṭurbhavedbhaṃgaḥ

By grahas occupying an enemy's sign or a sign of debilitation, and by grahas defeated ⟨in planetary war⟩, a bad dream is to be declared. By grahas whose bodies are effaced by the Sun's rays, there will be a breaking of the querent's dream.

लग्नचन्द्रान्तरालसंख्यया फलपाककालो वाच्यः । स्वस्वप्नान्तरे यं निरूप्यं पूर्वपूर्ववदित्येवं प्राह यवनेश्वरः

lagnacandrāntarālasaṃkhyayā phalapākakālo vācyaḥ | svasvapnāntare yaṃ nirūpyaṃ pūrvapūrvavadityevaṃ prāha yavaneśvaraḥ

By the number ⟨of the interval⟩ between the lagna and the Moon, the time of the ripening of the fruit is to be declared. Whatever is to be determined within one's own dream is to be determined as in each preceding ⟨case⟩ — so has Yavaneśvara spoken.

अकचटतपयशवर्गा रविकुजसितसौम्यजीवसौरीणाम् । चन्द्रस्य च निर्दिष्टा प्रश्ने प्रथमोद्भवम् वर्णम्

akacaṭatapayaśavargā ravikujasitasaumyajīvasaurīṇām | candrasya ca nirdiṣṭā praśne prathamodbhavam varṇam

The groups ⟨beginning with⟩ a, ka, ca, ṭa, ta, pa, ya and śa are assigned to the Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, and to the Moon. In a praśna ⟨take⟩ the syllable that arises first.

ज्ञात्वा तस्माल्लग्नं संगृह्य शुभाशुभं वदेत्प्रष्टुः । वर्गादिमध्यचरमैर्वर्णैः प्रश्नोद्भवैर्विषमम्

jñātvā tasmāllagnaṃ saṃgṛhya śubhāśubhaṃ vadetpraṣṭuḥ | vargādimadhyacaramairvarṇaiḥ praśnodbhavairviṣamam

Having known ⟨the graha⟩ from that, and taking the lagna ⟨accordingly⟩, one should declare the auspicious and the inauspicious for the querent. According as the letters arising in the query are the first, the middle or the last of a group — ⟨the odd sign…⟩

राशिं लग्नं प्रवदेच्छेषैर्युग्मं सितज्ञजीवानाम् । कुजरविजयोश्च नैवं रविशशिनोरेकराशित्वात्

rāśiṃ lagnaṃ pravadeccheṣairyugmaṃ sitajñajīvānām | kujaravijayośca naivaṃ raviśaśinorekarāśitvāt

⟨The odd⟩ sign (rāśi) one should declare to be the ascendant (lagna); by the remaining ⟨letters⟩, the even one — ⟨so⟩ for Venus, Mercury and Jupiter, and for Mars and Saturn. Not so for the Sun and the Moon, since they own a single sign ⟨each⟩.

तस्मात्प्राग्वत्प्रवदेत्पृच्छासमये शुभाशुभं सर्वम् । कालस्याविज्ञानादेतच्चिन्त्यं सदा प्रश्ने

tasmātprāgvatpravadetpṛcchāsamaye śubhāśubhaṃ sarvam | kālasyāvijñānādetaccintyaṃ sadā praśne

From that ⟨ascendant⟩ one should declare, as before, everything auspicious and inauspicious at the time of the asking (pṛcchā). Because the time is not known, this is always to be considered in a query (praśna).

देहः कोशो योधो वाह्यं मंत्रः शत्रुर्मार्गोऽथायुः । चित्तं कर्म प्राप्तिर्मन्त्री प्राग्लग्नाद्या भावाश्चिन्त्याः

dehaḥ kośo yodho vāhyaṃ maṃtraḥ śatrurmārgo'thāyuḥ | cittaṃ karma prāptirmantrī prāglagnādyā bhāvāścintyāḥ

The body, the treasury, the warrior, the conveyance, counsel, the enemy, the road, then lifespan, the mind, action, gain, ⟨and⟩ the minister — ⟨these are the matters for which⟩ the bhāvas beginning with the ascendant (lagna) are to be considered.

त्रिलाभवर्जं रविसौरिभौमा निघ्नन्ति नो कर्म च सूर्यभौमौ । पुष्णन्ति सौम्या रिपुराशिवर्ज्यं नास्तं भृगुर्मृत्युमिनर्क्षमिन्दुः

trilābhavarjaṃ ravisauribhaumā nighnanti no karma ca sūryabhaumau | puṣṇanti saumyā ripurāśivarjyaṃ nāstaṃ bhṛgurmṛtyuminarkṣaminduḥ

Excepting the 3rd and the 11th (lābha), the Sun, Saturn and Mars strike down ⟨the bhāva they occupy⟩ — and the Sun and Mars do not ⟨strike down⟩ the 10th (karma). The benefics nourish ⟨the bhāva they occupy⟩, excepting the 6th (ripu); Venus does not ⟨nourish⟩ the 7th (asta), ⟨nor⟩ the Moon the 8th (mṛtyu) ⟨nor⟩ ina's sign ⟨the Sun's, Leo⟩.

लग्नोपगतैः सौम्यैरारोग्यं वित्तसौख्यं च । अर्थस्थैरर्थचयो योधविवृद्धिस्तृतीयस्थैः

lagnopagataiḥ saumyairārogyaṃ vittasaukhyaṃ ca | arthasthairarthacayo yodhavivṛddhistṛtīyasthaiḥ

By benefics posited in the ascendant (lagna): health, and comfort of wealth. By ⟨benefics⟩ standing in the 2nd (artha): an accumulation of wealth. By those standing in the 3rd: increase of the fighting force.

वाहनसुहृदां वृद्धिश्चतुर्थगैः पंचमैस्तु मन्त्रबलम् । रिपुनाशं षष्ठस्था भृगुवर्ज्यं सप्तमेऽध्वहिताः

vāhanasuhṛdāṃ vṛddhiścaturthagaiḥ paṃcamaistu mantrabalam | ripunāśaṃ ṣaṣṭhasthā bhṛguvarjyaṃ saptame'dhvahitāḥ

By ⟨benefics⟩ in the 4th: increase of vehicles and of friends; by those in the 5th, strength of counsel. Those standing in the 6th ⟨bring about⟩ the destruction of the enemy; excepting Venus, ⟨those⟩ in the 7th are favourable to the road.

रक्षत्यायुर्निधने शशिवर्ज्यं नवमभे यशः सम्पत् । कर्मणि सिद्धिर्लाभो बलसंघातश्च दशमाद्यैः

rakṣatyāyurnidhane śaśivarjyaṃ navamabhe yaśaḥ sampat | karmaṇi siddhirlābho balasaṃghātaśca daśamādyaiḥ

In the 8th (nidhana) ⟨a benefic⟩ protects life — excepting the Moon; in the 9th, fame and fortune. By those beginning with the 10th: success in action, gain, and a massing of forces.

भौमार्कार्किशशांकैर्लग्ने वधबन्धमरणसंत्रासाः । अर्थक्षयो द्वितीयैस्तृतीय संस्थैर्यशो द्युतिमत्

bhaumārkārkiśaśāṃkairlagne vadhabandhamaraṇasaṃtrāsāḥ | arthakṣayo dvitīyaistṛtīya saṃsthairyaśo dyutimat

By Mars, the Sun, Saturn and the Moon in the ascendant (lagna): violence, bondage, death and terror. By ⟨them⟩ in the 2nd, ruin of wealth; by those situated in the 3rd, resplendent fame.

वाहनमित्रवियोगो मन्त्रस्रावो रिपुक्षयश्चेति । हिबुकादिषु सप्तमगैः स्वविषयनाशो भृगुसुते च

vāhanamitraviyogo mantrasrāvo ripukṣayaśceti | hibukādiṣu saptamagaiḥ svaviṣayanāśo bhṛgusute ca

Separation from vehicles and from friends, the leaking away of counsel, and the destruction of the enemy — thus ⟨the results⟩ in the houses beginning with the 4th (hibuka). By those in the 7th, the ruin of one's own territory — and ⟨so⟩ in the case of Bhṛgu's son ⟨Venus⟩ as well.

मृत्युर्निधनोपगतैः सेनाव्यसनं महन्नवमसंस्थैः । दशमस्थौ कुजसूर्यौ जयदौ भङ्गप्रदः सौरिः

mṛtyurnidhanopagataiḥ senāvyasanaṃ mahannavamasaṃsthaiḥ | daśamasthau kujasūryau jayadau bhaṅgapradaḥ sauriḥ

Death, by ⟨malefics⟩ posited in the 8th (nidhana); a great calamity to the army, by those standing in the 9th. Mars and the Sun standing in the 10th give victory; Saturn gives rout.

जय एकादशसंस्थैः क्रूरैरन्त्योपगैः स्वबलभेदः । उपचयवर्जं सौम्यैर्यत्तत्पापैर्विपर्यस्तम्

jaya ekādaśasaṃsthaiḥ krūrairantyopagaiḥ svabalabhedaḥ | upacayavarjaṃ saumyairyattatpāpairviparyastam

Victory, by malefics standing in the 11th; by ⟨malefics⟩ in the 12th (antya), the breaking up of one's own force. Whatever ⟨is stated⟩ for benefics is reversed for malefics — excepting the upacaya ⟨houses⟩.

क्रूरोऽप्यनुकूलस्थः शस्तो लग्ने शुभोऽपि नानिष्टः । वक्री न शुभः केन्द्रे तदहस्तद्वर्गलग्नं च

krūro'pyanukūlasthaḥ śasto lagne śubho'pi nāniṣṭaḥ | vakrī na śubhaḥ kendre tadahastadvargalagnaṃ ca

Even a malefic, when favourably placed, is commended; and even a benefic in the ascendant (lagna) is not undesirable. A retrograde ⟨graha⟩ is not auspicious in a kendra — nor is its weekday, nor a lagna falling in its varga.

प्रश्नगतद्रेष्काणे राजा नेता द्वितीयेऽस्य । परतो गणपुरोहितभिषजां परतोऽस्य भृत्यानाम्

praśnagatadreṣkāṇe rājā netā dvitīye'sya | parato gaṇapurohitabhiṣajāṃ parato'sya bhṛtyānām

In the drekkāṇa occupied by the query (praśna): the king. In the second from it: the leader. Beyond that: ⟨the drekkāṇa⟩ of the troops, the purohita and the physicians. Beyond that: ⟨the drekkāṇa⟩ of his servants.

स्थानपराक्रमचिन्ता परतो व्यवहारनृपसैन्ये । अभ्यवहार्यं शयनासने च तत्पंचसु क्रमशः

sthānaparākramacintā parato vyavahāranṛpasainye | abhyavahāryaṃ śayanāsane ca tatpaṃcasu kramaśaḥ

Beyond ⟨that⟩, the consideration of position and prowess; beyond, dealings and the king's army; and food, and bed-and-seat — these in the ⟨next⟩ five, in order.

यानासनशय्यावाहनानि दशमे परतोऽन्नपानानि । वाहनयोधाः परतस्त्रयोदशेऽपि युवराजः

yānāsanaśayyāvāhanāni daśame parato'nnapānāni | vāhanayodhāḥ paratastrayodaśe'pi yuvarājaḥ

In the tenth: conveyances, seats, beds and vehicles; beyond ⟨that⟩, food and drink; beyond, vehicles and warriors; and in the thirteenth, the crown prince.

ज्ञेयं बलं प्रयातुर्मन्त्रस्य निश्चयश्च तत्परतः । परतः पंचदशाद्ये द्रेष्काणचतुष्टये रिपवः

jñeyaṃ balaṃ prayāturmantrasya niścayaśca tatparataḥ | parataḥ paṃcadaśādye dreṣkāṇacatuṣṭaye ripavaḥ

Next after that, the strength of the one setting out is to be known, and the settling of counsel. Beyond ⟨that⟩, in the tetrad of drekkāṇas beginning with the fifteenth: the enemies.

एकोनविंशतितमे सैनिकशयने क्षणानि परतोऽर्थः । परतोऽस्य दण्डनेता सैन्यस्योपद्रवः परतः

ekonaviṃśatitame sainikaśayane kṣaṇāni parato'rthaḥ | parato'sya daṇḍanetā sainyasyopadravaḥ parataḥ

In the nineteenth, the kṣaṇas ⟨the hours of rest⟩ at the soldiers' couch; beyond, wealth; beyond that, his commander of the punitive force (daṇḍa-netṛ); beyond, calamity to the army.

सेनाछिद्रं तस्मात्सेनानेता भवेच्चतुर्विंशे । सेनारोग्यं सैन्यं चतुःपटंच क्रमात् त्रितये

senāchidraṃ tasmātsenānetā bhaveccaturviṃśe | senārogyaṃ sainyaṃ catuḥpaṭaṃca kramāt tritaye

From that, a breach in the army; and the army's leader falls in the twenty-fourth. The army's health, the army ⟨itself⟩, and the four-panelled ⟨canopy⟩ — in the ⟨next⟩ three, in order.

कार्यं कोशः फलसिद्धयस्त्रये भूभुजस्त्रये परतः । धर्मक्रियार्थयोधार्चनं च यात्रासमाप्तिश्च

kāryaṃ kośaḥ phalasiddhayastraye bhūbhujastraye parataḥ | dharmakriyārthayodhārcanaṃ ca yātrāsamāptiśca

The business ⟨in hand⟩, the treasury, and the accomplishment of results — of the king — in ⟨the next⟩ three. In the three beyond: religious observance, wealth, the honouring of warriors, and the completion of the expedition.

इत्युदयाद्या भावाद्रेष्काणैर्ये मयाऽऽदिष्टाः । सदसत्फलमादेश्यं सदसद्युतवीक्षणात्तेषाम्

ityudayādyā bhāvādreṣkāṇairye mayā''diṣṭāḥ | sadasatphalamādeśyaṃ sadasadyutavīkṣaṇātteṣām

Thus ⟨are⟩ the topics (bhāvas), beginning from the rising ⟨drekkāṇa⟩, which have been assigned by me by means of the drekkāṇas. Their good or evil result is to be declared from their conjunction with, and aspect by, good or evil ⟨grahas⟩.

नवमांशे तिग्मांशोर्वाहननाशो विलग्नसम्प्राप्ते । कृच्छ्रात् स्वगृहगमनं प्रतापमृदुला च चन्द्रांशे

navamāṃśe tigmāṃśorvāhananāśo vilagnasamprāpte | kṛcchrāt svagṛhagamanaṃ pratāpamṛdulā ca candrāṃśe

When the ascendant reaches the navāṃśa of the hot-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩: destruction of vehicles. In the Moon's aṃśa: a return to one's own house only with difficulty, and a softening of ⟨one's⟩ might.

कौजेऽग्निभयं बौधे मित्र प्राप्तिर्धनागमो जैवे । भोगविवृद्धिः शौक्रे भृत्यविनाशो रविसुतांशे च

kauje'gnibhayaṃ baudhe mitra prāptirdhanāgamo jaive | bhogavivṛddhiḥ śaukre bhṛtyavināśo ravisutāṃśe ca

In Mars's ⟨aṃśa⟩: fear from fire. In Mercury's: the gaining of a friend. In Jupiter's: the coming of wealth. In Venus's: increase of enjoyments. And in the aṃśa of the Sun's son ⟨Saturn⟩: destruction of servants.

यदुदयति फलं प्रदिष्टं जनयति तस्य नवांशको विलग्ने । शुभभवननवांशके सहायं रिपुबलभाग उपैति यातुरर्थात्

yadudayati phalaṃ pradiṣṭaṃ janayati tasya navāṃśako vilagne | śubhabhavananavāṃśake sahāyaṃ ripubalabhāga upaiti yāturarthāt

Whatever result is declared for the ⟨sign⟩ that rises, it is the navāṃśa of that ⟨sign⟩ in the ascendant that produces it. When the navāṃśa is that of an auspicious sign, one who shares the enemy's strength comes over — as a matter of course — to the aid of the one marching out.

शुभर्क्षे तन्नवांशे च यो याति मनुजेश्वरः । तस्य शत्रुबलान्नेता साहाय्यमुपगच्छति

śubharkṣe tannavāṃśe ca yo yāti manujeśvaraḥ | tasya śatrubalānnetā sāhāyyamupagacchati

The lord of men who sets out in an auspicious sign and in that sign's navāṃśa — a leader from the enemy's force comes over to his assistance.

यत्प्रोक्तं राश्युदये द्वादशभागेऽपि तत्फलं वाच्यम् । यच्च नवांशकविहितं त्रिंशांशस्योदये तत्स्यात्

yatproktaṃ rāśyudaye dvādaśabhāge'pi tatphalaṃ vācyam | yacca navāṃśakavihitaṃ triṃśāṃśasyodaye tatsyāt

What has been stated for the rising of a rāśi is to be declared as the result for the dvādaśāṃśa as well; and what is laid down for the navāṃśa, that holds at the rising of the triṃśāṃśa.

उदयमुदयपं वा जन्मपं जन्मभं वा तदुपचयगृहं वा वीक्ष्य लग्ने यियासोः । विनिहतमरिपक्षं विद्धि शत्रोरिदं वा यदि हिबुकसमेतं पृच्छतोऽस्तस्थितं वा

udayamudayapaṃ vā janmapaṃ janmabhaṃ vā tadupacayagṛhaṃ vā vīkṣya lagne yiyāsoḥ | vinihatamaripakṣaṃ viddhi śatroridaṃ vā yadi hibukasametaṃ pṛcchato'stasthitaṃ vā

Having examined, at the ascendant (lagna) of one who wishes to march, the rising sign, or the lord of the rising sign, or the lord of the birth-sign, or the birth-sign, or an upacaya house from it — know the enemy's party to be struck down. Or ⟨know⟩ this same of the enemy, or of the querent, if ⟨his indicator⟩ is joined with the 4th (hibuka) or stands in the 7th (asta).

शत्रोर्होरा राशिस्तदधिपतिर्जन्मभं तदीशो वा । यद्यस्ते हिबुके वा तथापि शत्रुर्हतो वाच्यः

śatrorhorā rāśistadadhipatirjanmabhaṃ tadīśo vā | yadyaste hibuke vā tathāpi śatrurhato vācyaḥ

The enemy's horā ⟨the half-sign⟩, ⟨his⟩ sign, the lord of that, ⟨his⟩ birth-sign, or the lord of that — if ⟨any of these⟩ is in the 7th (asta) or in the 4th (hibuka), then likewise the enemy is to be declared slain.

क्षुत्तृष्णार्तिर्मार्गनाशोऽक्षिरोगः क्लेशस्याप्तिस्तिग्मगोः प्राग्विलग्ने । शस्तं चान्द्रे देवतार्थं स्वदेशे कौजे पित्तव्यालशस्त्राग्निपीडाः

kṣuttṛṣṇārtirmārganāśo'kṣirogaḥ kleśasyāptistigmagoḥ prāgvilagne | śastaṃ cāndre devatārthaṃ svadeśe kauje pittavyālaśastrāgnipīḍāḥ

In the eastern ascendant of the hot-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩: the affliction of hunger and thirst, loss of the road, disease of the eye, the getting of distress. In the Moon's it is commended — for a deity's sake, ⟨and⟩ within one's own country. In Mars's: torments from bile, from snakes, from weapons and from fire.

बौधे तुष्टिर्वांछिताप्तिर्यशश्च जैवेऽर्थाप्तिः स्थानलाभोऽरिनाशः । स्त्रीरत्नाप्तिः कार्यसिद्धिश्च शौक्रे मान्दे वह्निव्याधिनीचापमाना

baudhe tuṣṭirvāṃchitāptiryaśaśca jaive'rthāptiḥ sthānalābho'rināśaḥ | strīratnāptiḥ kāryasiddhiśca śaukre mānde vahnivyādhinīcāpamānā

In Mercury's: contentment, the getting of what is wished, and fame. In Jupiter's: the getting of wealth, the gaining of position, the destruction of enemies. In Venus's: the getting of women and jewels, and the accomplishment of the undertaking. In Saturn's (manda): fire, disease, ⟨and⟩ dishonour from the base — or, reading the compound as a dvandva like the other three lists, degradation and dishonour.

वृषवृश्चिककर्कटैर्नृणामनुकूलैरपि लग्नमाश्रितैः । गमनं च वदन्त्यशोभनं मुनयोऽन्त्यर्क्षसमाश्रितैरपि

vṛṣavṛścikakarkaṭairnṛṇāmanukūlairapi lagnamāśritaiḥ | gamanaṃ ca vadantyaśobhanaṃ munayo'ntyarkṣasamāśritairapi

Though Taurus, Scorpio and Cancer are favourable to men, when they occupy the ascendant (lagna) — and likewise when they occupy the last sign ⟨the 12th⟩ — the sages call the setting-out inauspicious.

मीने कुटिलो मार्गो भवति तदंशेऽन्यराशिलग्नेऽपि । नो यानमाप्यलग्ने कार्यं तेषां नवांशेऽपि

mīne kuṭilo mārgo bhavati tadaṃśe'nyarāśilagne'pi | no yānamāpyalagne kāryaṃ teṣāṃ navāṃśe'pi

In Pisces the road becomes crooked — and so too in its aṃśa, even when the ascendant is another sign. No journey should be undertaken when the ascendant is a watery (āpya) sign, nor in their navāṃśa either.

सर्वं प्रमाणं मुनिनोदितत्वात्किं त्वत्र होराबलमेव योग्यम् । यस्मिन्सहस्रांशुरवस्थितोऽर्धे तिर्यङ्मुखी सा गणयेत्ततोऽन्याः

sarvaṃ pramāṇaṃ muninoditatvātkiṃ tvatra horābalameva yogyam | yasminsahasrāṃśuravasthito'rdhe tiryaṅmukhī sā gaṇayettato'nyāḥ

All ⟨of this⟩ is authoritative, since it has been declared by the sage; but here it is the strength of the horā alone that is fitting. That half ⟨of a sign⟩ in which the thousand-rayed one ⟨the Sun⟩ stands is transverse-faced (tiryaṅmukhī); from it one should reckon the others.

धत्ते वांछितकार्यमूर्ध्ववदना क्लेशाद्विना लग्नगा क्लेशायासपरिक्षयांश्चकुरुते तिर्यङ्मुखी गच्छतः । सैन्यभ्रंशमधोमुखी प्रकुरुते कृच्छ्राद्गृहे चागमं सर्वाः पुष्टफलप्रदाः स्वपतिना दृष्टा न पापग्रहैः

dhatte vāṃchitakāryamūrdhvavadanā kleśādvinā lagnagā kleśāyāsaparikṣayāṃścakurute tiryaṅmukhī gacchataḥ | sainyabhraṃśamadhomukhī prakurute kṛcchrādgṛhe cāgamaṃ sarvāḥ puṣṭaphalapradāḥ svapatinā dṛṣṭā na pāpagrahaiḥ

An upward-facing ⟨sign⟩ standing in the lagna carries the desired undertaking through without distress; a sideways-facing one works distress, toil and wastage for the one who goes; a downward-facing one brings about the breaking of the army, and a coming home only with hardship. All ⟨of these⟩ give full fruit ⟨when⟩ aspected by their own lord and not by malefic grahas.

आरुद्रमीशा रविभौमजीव विद्भार्गवैनीन्दव इत्यतोऽगुः । यामार्धमिन्द्रानिलकालशंभुतोयाग्निचन्द्रासुरमध्यतोऽन्यत्

ārudramīśā ravibhaumajīva vidbhārgavainīndava ityato'guḥ | yāmārdhamindrānilakālaśaṃbhutoyāgnicandrāsuramadhyato'nyat

The lords ⟨run⟩ as far as Rudra: the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, ⟨Saturn⟩, the Moon — thus they proceed on from ⟨the lord of the day⟩. The half-watch ⟨belongs⟩ to Indra, Anila, Kāla, Śambhu, Toya, Agni, Candra, Asura ⟨in this order⟩; the other ⟨is reckoned⟩ from the middle.

वार प्रवृत्तेर्घटिका द्विनिघ्नाः कालाख्यहोरापतयः शराप्ताः । दिनाधिपाद्या रविशुक्रसौम्यशशांक सौरीज्यकुजाः क्रमेण

vāra pravṛtterghaṭikā dvinighnāḥ kālākhyahorāpatayaḥ śarāptāḥ | dinādhipādyā raviśukrasaumyaśaśāṃka saurījyakujāḥ krameṇa

The ghaṭikās ⟨elapsed⟩ from the commencement of the weekday, multiplied by two and divided by five, ⟨give⟩ the lords of the horās called kāla; beginning from the lord of the day ⟨they are⟩ the Sun, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, in order.

व्यतिपातविष्टिवैधृतिपापग्रहलग्नदिवसेषु । चौर्यावस्कन्दानृतसंग्रामाः सिद्धिमायान्ति

vyatipātaviṣṭivaidhṛtipāpagrahalagnadivaseṣu | cauryāvaskandānṛtasaṃgrāmāḥ siddhimāyānti

In Vyatīpāta, Viṣṭi and Vaidhṛti, and in the lagnas and the days of malefic grahas, theft, assault, falsehood and battle come to success.

प्राच्यादिदिक्षु मेषाद्याः स्वपंचनवमैर्युताः । तत्रगे यामिनीनाथे तदाशागच्छतोऽग्रतः

prācyādidikṣu meṣādyāḥ svapaṃcanavamairyutāḥ | tatrage yāminīnāthe tadāśāgacchato'grataḥ

In the quarters beginning with the east ⟨stand⟩ the signs beginning with Meṣa, each joined with its own fifth and ninth. When the lord of the night has gone into ⟨one of⟩ them, that quarter lies in front of the one who goes.

ओजदण्डे पुरश्चन्द्रे पृष्ठेराहौ रणेजयः । सिद्धिर्दक्षिणगे चन्द्रे हानिर्वामे परे मृतिः

ojadaṇḍe puraścandre pṛṣṭherāhau raṇejayaḥ | siddhirdakṣiṇage candre hānirvāme pare mṛtiḥ

In an odd daṇḍa, with the Moon in front and Rāhu at the back, ⟨there is⟩ victory in battle. Success when the Moon has gone to the right, loss when to the left, and death when it is on the far side.

यात्रादिगीशाद्यदि पंचमेऽन्यो गृहे ग्रहो वीर्ययुतोऽवतिष्ठेत् । समुद्यताशाकथितानि भङ्क्ता फलानि वीर्यान्नयति स्वकाष्ठाम्

yātrādigīśādyadi paṃcame'nyo gṛhe graho vīryayuto'vatiṣṭhet | samudyatāśākathitāni bhaṅktā phalāni vīryānnayati svakāṣṭhām

If, ⟨reckoned⟩ from the lord of the direction of the march, another graha possessed of strength should stand in the fifth house, then it, breaking the results declared for the quarter set out for, by its strength carries ⟨them⟩ to its own quarter.

एकोऽपि जीवज्ञसिताऽसितानां कुजात्त्रिकोणे रवितोऽथवेन्दुः । यत्रोद्यतस्तत्र न याति याता तयोर्बलीयान्नयति स्वकाष्ठाम्

eko'pi jīvajñasitā'sitānāṃ kujāttrikoṇe ravito'thavenduḥ | yatrodyatastatra na yāti yātā tayorbalīyānnayati svakāṣṭhām

Even one of Jupiter, Mercury, Venus or Saturn ⟨standing⟩ in a trine from Mars, or the Moon ⟨so standing⟩ from the Sun — ⟨then⟩ the traveller does not go where he had set out for; the stronger of the two carries ⟨the matter⟩ to its own quarter.

परस्परं सौरिकुजौ रवीन्दू त्रिकोणगौ भार्गवलोहितौ च । फलं यदुक्तं तदशेषमेव विनाश्य पश्चात्स्वदिशं नयेताम्

parasparaṃ saurikujau ravīndū trikoṇagau bhārgavalohitau ca | phalaṃ yaduktaṃ tadaśeṣameva vināśya paścātsvadiśaṃ nayetām

Saturn and Mars mutually, the Sun and the Moon, and Venus and Mars, ⟨when⟩ standing in a trine ⟨to each other⟩ — having destroyed without remainder the result that was declared, they afterwards carry ⟨it⟩ to their own direction.

ताराग्रहश्चेत्क्षितिजात्त्रिकोणे सूर्यादपि स्याद्यदि वा शशांकः । दिगीश्वरात्पंचमगो बली वा ग्रहः स्वकाष्ठां नयति प्रसह्य

tārāgrahaścetkṣitijāttrikoṇe sūryādapi syādyadi vā śaśāṃkaḥ | digīśvarātpaṃcamago balī vā grahaḥ svakāṣṭhāṃ nayati prasahya

If a star-graha is in a trine from Mars, or if the Moon ⟨is so⟩ from the Sun, or a strong graha stands in the fifth from the lord of the direction, that graha carries ⟨the result⟩ to its own quarter by force.

दृष्टाऽदृष्टफलाप्त्यै शास्त्रं हृदये निधाय मिहिरस्य । दैवज्ञवल्लभाख्यं दृष्ट्वा प्रश्नं वदेत्तज्ज्ञः

dṛṣṭā'dṛṣṭaphalāptyai śāstraṃ hṛdaye nidhāya mihirasya | daivajñavallabhākhyaṃ dṛṣṭvā praśnaṃ vadettajjñaḥ

For the gaining of fruits seen and unseen, one who knows it should set in his heart Mihira's śāstra named Daivajña-vallabha, and, having examined the query, should speak.

यदुपचितमन्यजन्मनि शुभाऽशुभं तस्य कर्मणः पंक्तिम् । व्यञ्जयति शास्त्रमेतत् तमसि द्रव्याणि दीप इव

yadupacitamanyajanmani śubhā'śubhaṃ tasya karmaṇaḥ paṃktim | vyañjayati śāstrametat tamasi dravyāṇi dīpa iva

Whatever auspicious and inauspicious has been heaped up in another birth — the ordered line of that karma this śāstra makes manifest, as a lamp ⟨makes manifest⟩ objects in the dark.

आदित्यदासतनयस्तदवाप्तबोधः कापित्थलः सवितृलब्धवरप्रसादः । आवन्तिको मुनिमतान्यवलोक्य यत्नादेतां वराहमिहिरो रचयांचकार

ādityadāsatanayastadavāptabodhaḥ kāpitthalaḥ savitṛlabdhavaraprasādaḥ | āvantiko munimatānyavalokya yatnādetāṃ varāhamihiro racayāṃcakāra

The son of Ādityadāsa, who obtained his understanding from him, a Kāpitthaka, who won the boon and grace of the Sun, a man of Avantī — Varāhamihira — having examined the doctrines of the sages, composed this ⟨work⟩ with effort.
